CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 37 BAMBOO SHOOTS

The efficiency of the Rob has always been high. Just as Du Xixi was searching the Star Network for photos of Iron-eating Beasts, he returned with several long, thin bamboo poles and a few palm-sized bamboo shoots.

Du Xixi had just clicked open a photo, where a small Iron-eating Beast was squatting on the ground, surrounded by a group of elegantly dressed noblewomen. It looked not even half the height of the chair next to it, with a sorrowful and pitiful expression.

Du Xixi furrowed her brows and sighed, then turned to Rob and asked, "You got back pretty quick. Are there many?"

Rob bent over and handed the bamboo poles and bamboo shoots to Du Xixi for inspection, softly replying, "I found these plants on the southern part of CD-0329 Star. They almost cover the entire southern mountain ranges, one patch after another."

Upon hearing this, Du Xixi smiled, feeling that victory was in sight, but she didn’t overlook the most crucial point — would the Iron-eating Beasts, like the giant pandas on Blue Star, enjoy eating bamboo and bamboo shoots?

She waved her hand, and Rob understandingly withdrew the bamboo poles and shoots, placing them on the ground beside them. He then opened his mecha communicator, located the Light Computer Number of the Iron-eating Beast Empire’s Majesty, and sent it to Du Xixi.

"Miss, this is what I recorded last time when I went to the Iron-eating Beast Empire, the Light Computer Number of their Majesty. I hope it helps you."

The Light Computer Number is the contact signal of each Light Computer, and every person in the Star Era is born with a unique Light Computer Number, which is used as a basis for mutual contact.

Du Xixi was pondering how to contact the Iron-eating Beast Empire to let them try the bamboo and bamboo shoots, and now Rob had already handed her the key. Naturally, Du Xixi would reach out and use it to knock on the door of the Iron-eating Beast Empire.

Whatever Du Xixi wanted to do, she did immediately. She directly used her Light Computer to contact this Majesty of the Iron-eating Beast Empire. The other party seemed to have nothing else to do, and it connected successfully within seconds.

In the video projected in the air appeared a black and white fluffy bundle smiling with squinting eyes. Hanging on its body were several smaller black and white bundles, round and rolling, tumbling down one by one with the movements of the big bundle.

The black and white bundle stretched out two big furry paws, one on this side and one on that, catching four or five small black and white bundles into its palms. Feeling safe, the small bundles squeaked a few times.

Du Xixi quickly covered her upturned nose, feeling like she was about to have a nosebleed from the cuteness of the Iron-eating Beasts, but she quickly coughed and regained her serious demeanor when the Iron-eating Beast’s Majesty looked over.

"Oh, it’s Marshal Ke Lian’s wife. I remember you. You are a very fine lady." The Iron-eating Beast’s Majesty smiled at Du Xixi, though with so much fur on its face, it looked like a moving bundle of white fur, amusing yet adorable. "Our citizens of the Iron-eating Beast Empire like you very much."

In the interstellar space, Iron-eating Beasts have always appeared in beast form, so people treat them as animals. Otherwise, they wouldn’t openly treat their young as pets, or even skin them to make clothes.

But no one knows that Iron-eating Beasts seem to have the talent to sense people’s intentions, especially when they are rejected by the interstellar society and face hostility from everywhere.

Back then, when the Blue Star Empire extended a helping hand to the Iron-eating Beast Empire, showing goodwill, the Iron-eating Beasts were grateful. Yet, they also knew that during that time, many empires who secretly caught wind of it started targeting the Blue Star Empire, which is why they didn’t sign that alliance agreement.

They had finally found a reliable backer, and they didn’t want this benevolent support to be harmed due to their sake.

Out of gratitude, the Iron-eating Beasts, who rarely logged in to the Star Network, collectively logged on the day of the Blue Star Empire’s National Day grand parade, silently watching the celebration, offering blessings to the Blue Star Empire in their hearts — they didn’t even have the courage to publically congratulate Blue Star in the live chat.

Du Xixi appeared with Ke Lian, and they all saw it. Almost every Iron-eating Beast felt an instant affection upon seeing Du Xixi.

Though it’s quite incredible, it’s true. They really liked Du Xixi.

Du Xixi smiled too, not knowing why the Iron-eating Beasts liked her, it certainly made her very happy, her eyes filled with smiling intent.
