A Beta boy working part-time in another world

Ye Sui looked at the manhole cover at his feet in silence. The positioning showed that Shulami lost the signal here.

"System, is she in danger?"

The system scanned the location that Ye Sui left on Shulami and detected the nearby scenes.

"She's fine. She's also a little girl. She seems to be taking good care of Shulami. Don't worry."

"That's fine." Ye Sui did not continue to follow and returned to the gang.

This street is also under the jurisdiction of the gang, and there will be no vagrants or dangerous elements.

.........

Shulami opened her backpack and took out the cakes, bread and snacks that Ye Sui bought for her.

"Eat it, Mwa."

“Thank you.” Mwa didn’t hesitate to eat what he thought was delicious and packed up the rest to prevent it from going bad.

"What is this?" Muwa wondered, noticing three books in Shulami's backpack.

"Oh, I forgot to bring the book with me." Shulami explained, "This is my homework. Uncle Ye asked me to review it, but the mechanics course is too difficult and I forgot to read it."

When he heard that it was a mechanical book, Mwa was shocked.

"Shulami, can you lend it to me?"

"Of course, you can look at it as you like."

Mwa took out the book and his face became serious with excitement after seeing the cover.

These books are the official Imperial Star textbooks that she cannot get. They are the knowledge that Muwa has always wanted to learn but cannot obtain.

She read the book for more than an hour.

When Shulami saw that she liked it, he said, “Mwa, if you want to see it, I will lend it to you.”

"Really?"

"Of course, aren't we good friends?"

Mwa nodded, "Yes, you are my best friend."

He is also her only friend.

When Muwa finished reading the books on the mechanics course, Shulami really admired her talent.

"Mwa, can you understand?"

"can."

"You also know the calculation formula for the hybrid gravity device?"

Mwa nodded again.

Shulami became excited, “Mwa, you know you are a genius!”

Mwa didn't believe it, "I'm not that powerful."

"Yes!" Shulami pointed to a set of formulas and said, "Uncle Ye told me that even adults can't figure out this set of formulas, but you can figure it out. If you're not a genius, what are you?"

"I just like this better..."

After Shulami calmed down, he told Muwa: "It would be great if you could study with me. Uncle Ye would definitely like you."

"No Shulami, don't tell the adults about us."

Shulami was confused: "Why?"

Mwa replied: "The adults are all liars. They say they promise to believe us, but they will betray us in the next moment."

Shulami thought of Ye Sui's face and felt that Uncle Ye was not that kind of person.

“Mwa, Uncle Ye is different.”

"How can it be different? All adults are the same, so hypocritical."

"I can't really explain it, but you'll know when you meet him. Uncle Ye is very gentle. He doesn't think I'm playful just because I like to write stories. He even praises me for my imagination."

Mwa asked curiously, “Do you like writing stories?”

"Yes, let me show you." Shulami handed her the small notebook in his backpack.

Mwa looked at a few of them and was amused by Shulami’s description.

"You mistook me for a boy the first time you saw me."

"Yeah, you looked really handsome when you jumped from the second floor!"

Mwa looked at Shulami's adoring and beautiful face, blushed slightly and said, "No."

The two little girls were talking and laughing, gradually forgetting the time.

Late in the night, Mwa took Shulami to a place only she knew.

The two of them shuttled through the densely packed sewers.

Shulami asked curiously, "It never rains in the Mechanical City, so why are there so many sewers?"

"That's because there was a lot of water here a hundred years ago, but then the orbit of the garbage planet shifted and it became dry."

Arrived at destination.

Muwa carried Shulami on his back through a garbage dump.

What comes into view is the base of a tall tower.

"Let's go up."

Shulami looked down at the hand held by Mwa, smiled, and stayed close to Mwa, riding the mechanical elevator with her.

As the altitude increases, a night scene comes into view.

The tower on the top floor has been abandoned for many years, but the building is still there, only the door is locked and no one has ever been there.

This is Muwa’s secret base.

Sitting in a windward position, you can enjoy the beautiful night view under the tower.

The night on the Junk Planet is not very dark. The sky is deep purple, with stars scattered near the star rings. Even the distant Emperor Star serves as a backdrop.

Shulami leaned in Muwa's arms and gradually felt sleepy.

"Mwah..."

"Ok?"

“It’s so beautiful here…”

"Yeah, I like to come here when I'm alone. This will be your secret base from now on."

When she got no response, Muwa looked down and saw that Shulami had fallen asleep with his arms around her waist.

She smiled, thinking it was really hard for this delicate young lady to stay up late with her.

When the last star in the sky was covered by paleness, Muwa carried Shulami away.

Walking in the dark underground passage, Shulami woke up.

"Mwa, what time is it?"

"A little after five o'clock."

"I have to go back."

"I'll take you back."

"Put me down."

Muwa put Shulami down, took her hand and led her to familiarize herself with the route here.

"Shurami, here is a mark I made. If you can't remember the way in the future, just look at this mark."

Shulami looked carefully at the location and found it was real.

When they arrived at the sewer location near the Salt Gang, Shulami and Mwa hugged and said goodbye.

"Mwa, actually.....I have something to say."

"You said."

"I want to tell Uncle Ye about your existence."

Muwa was not angry, she felt that Shulami did not seem like someone who would harm her.

"Shulami, is he trustworthy?"

Shulami nodded heavily, "I promise, Uncle Ye is the best person in the world. You are so talented, Uncle Ye will definitely like you."

Mwa thought about it.

She really needs better resources to improve herself.

She has been wandering all the time and has no comprehensive knowledge reserves. How can she leave the garbage planet when she grows up?

But she didn't want to use her good friend's status to satisfy her own selfish desires.

"Shulami, if I agree, will we still be good friends no matter what the outcome is?"

"Of course, as I said, you are my best friend."

"Okay, I promise you too, go ahead and tell him."

Shulami hugged Mwa again and then separated, climbing up the ladder with his empty backpack.

After the manhole cover was closed and the footsteps faded away, Muwa turned around and went back.

She returned to her own little place, and the quiet environment around her began to make her feel a little uncomfortable.

That night, Mwa could not sleep.

She's gambling.

If the Uncle Ye that Shulami mentioned was not a good person, then she would have to move to another place.

But for some reason, Mwa felt that Shulami would not lie to him.

She believed in Shulami.

Just like Shulami believed her.
