StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 244: Mining Area 3

Fortunately, the alcohol content in Shen Qingqing's blood dropped significantly with her metabolism. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall dome and white walls carved with reliefs.

She didn't remember any bars being this sacred.

Is it a themed bar?

It's quite stylish.

Shen Qingqing stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Turning her head, she met a pair of smiling pink eyes. Shen Qingqing's mind went blank for a moment, then she jumped out of bed and hugged the owner of the eyes.

"Ge Yuan!"

Overjoyed, Shen Qingqing wrapped her arms around Ge Yuan's neck, feeling as if it were all an illusion.

Otherwise, why would she be able to see Ge Yuan in Barikta as soon as she opened her eyes?

This must be an illusion.

"Qingqing, you still haven't grown up after all this time." Ge Yuan laughed heartily twice.

Shen Qingqing quickly released her arms from her neck. Just as Ge Yuan was wondering why she wasn't as affectionate as before, she saw Shen Qingqing cupping her face in her hands, looking at her from left to right, as if comparing them.

After confirming that the taste and appearance were exactly as described, down to the last hair, he let out a howl and rushed into her arms again.

The force was so great that it knocked Ge Yuan down into the bed.

Shen Qingqing was overjoyed, completely unaware that this place was different from her bedroom in the Holy Temple, so she didn't hold back her strength.

Two insects thudded twice, rolling the cup to the ground along with them.

"Qingqing...is this the first gift you gave me after we reunited?"

Looking at Shen Qingqing in the mirror, Ge Yuan asked, "Can I return this gift to you?"

"No." Shen Qingqing propped her head up with her hands and looked at her with a smile.

"There's no reason to take back what's given away."

Just two minutes ago, one of the two insects had a bump on its head, but before Ge Yuan could even bring the medicine, the bump on its head had already healed.

Immediately putting down the cotton swabs and medical alcohol, Ge Yuan pulled Shen Qingqing to look in the mirror to see if her face was disfigured.

“If you had come earlier, we probably could have applied the alcohol,” Shen Qingqing said. “Unfortunately, the Zerg’s self-healing ability is too strong, and you were too late.”

Ge Yuan gave her a chestnut to eat.

"I'm just concerned about you, don't be ungrateful."

"By the way, Ge Yuan, how did you find me? I remember Andorra exiled you to the frontier to be used as laborers, how did we meet in Barikta?"

Ge Yuan opened her eyes wide, looking at her with an expression that said, "Are you sober yet? If not, eat a plum to clear your head."

"What do you think?"

After a moment's thought, Shen Qingqing gave her answer: "I think it must be fate that brought us together from a hundred kilometers away."

“My poor Qingqing…” Ge Yuan picked her up and said with heartache, “It seems that Qingqing’s brain has deteriorated again after not seeing her for several months.”

"Let me go, let me go. My brain hasn't degenerated."

Shen Qingqing struggled a little but couldn't break free, so she simply let Ge Yuan take over the drama and direct and act it out.

"Hey, this isn't that godforsaken place, Barrick Tower. I don't know why that brat Desk brought you there... Let me reintroduce you. This is 179 kilometers east-southeast of Barrick Tower, then 90 kilometers south to the bus stop. Wait 20 minutes to catch the first bus, and after 23 stops, you'll arrive at your destination—the Third Mining Area!"

Ge Yuan rattled off a lot of information like reciting a menu, but Shen Qingqing only managed to extract two key pieces of information.

First, this is not Barrick Tower.

Second, this is a mining area.

Seeing Shen Qingqing's stunned expression, Ge Yuan knew that she had successfully pulled off a big bluff.

She does this every time a new person comes.

Tried and tried.

"Ge Yuan, you've given us so much useless information, all you've said is that this isn't Barrick Tower and this is the Third Mine."

Shen Qingqing was a little surprised. Why did Ge Yuan use such a long prefix? Was it just to show off in front of her?

Hearing that her little scheme had been exposed, Ge Yuan exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"No insect can see through my disguise! You know, every newbie who came to the mine on their first day was captivated by my beauty and intelligence. How could you possibly see through my disguise!"

Ge Yuan howled, as if she were shrouded in the gloom brought on by a great lack of self-confidence.

But only Shen Qingqing knew that Ge Yuan was absolutely incapable of falling into mental exhaustion.

She was just regretting not using more prefixes when introducing the third mining area.

Shen Qingqing could see through this.

"Ahhh, Qingqing, can you just see through things but not say anything in the future? It makes me feel so unfulfilled!" Ge Yuan got Shen Qingqing's verbal promise by throwing a tantrum.

"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone next time. Ge Yuan, please get down from the windowsill first, I'm scared."

Shen Qingqing was absolutely terrified.

For some reason, Ge Yuan suddenly leaped onto the windowsill, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, like a little insect experiencing a bout of intermittent depression during adolescence.

I look up, to remember you.

I bow my head, to forget you.

Ge Yuan's hair was blown by the wind and fluttered in the sunlight, coated with a layer of holy light, beautiful and flawless, so holy that it was almost pure white.

Angel, Holy Goddess, Pink-haired Spokesperson Insect, Famous Beauty Insect of the Third Mining Area, Number One Show-off, Male Insect Killer, Insect-Spitting King, Master, God-like Female, Extraordinary Woman Who Aspires to Live Her Life as a Comedy, Ge Yuan Lan slowly opened her mouth and uttered the truth:

"What are you thinking? I don't want to jump down and become a little flying insect."

Then, pulling Shen Qingqing up, the two insects sat side by side on the towering windowsill, basking in the sunlight, watching the busy insect swarms in the distance and the countless transport fleets flying in from the horizon.

What are they doing?

Following Shen Qingqing's gaze, they saw a pair of females dressed in orange work clothes lined up, spreading their huge wings. With a crisp whistle, their colorful wings opened instantly, shimmering with dazzling colors under the light, and flew into the distance.

“They are the pioneers of the mining area.” Ge Yuan looked at them, her eyes narrowing as if she were recalling something.

"Navigator?"

"That's right. Navigators aren't just limited to aerospace. Anyone who works at the forefront of a particular industry on land can be called a navigator. They are professionally trained and carefully selected. The entire team of mine navigators is composed of females and is responsible for all underground passages and surface surveys in the entire mine."

Ge Yuan paused for a moment and then continued, "Collapses frequently occur in the mining area, and the Navigators need to constantly patrol the various underground mines, responsible for exploration and rescue work before or after a collapse. Moreover, they are also the Zerg's mobile scouts."
