StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 156 Scavenging for Trash

In short, a few insects embarked on a scavenging journey among countless discarded parts.

"Look what I found! A small piece of copper wire!" Shen Qingqing smiled as she carefully put the small piece of wire away. "It might come in handy."

"And there's more," Leah also found something interesting, hiding it behind her back for the two of them to guess, "There's a prize for the correct guess!"

"Hmm...can you give me a hint?" Shen Qingqing thought that what Liya could hide behind her must be something relatively small.

“It’s related to light!” Leah said with a smile. “That’s all the hints I can give you.”

"Is it a solar energy component?" Shen Qingqing asked tentatively.

"No, no." Leah laughed even harder.

Andor, who was helping to search through the pile of mechanical scrap, saw Shen Qingqing's anxious expression and said, "It's a solar energy converter."

Leah turned around angrily, "Andor, were you peeking? I hid so well."

"I swear I absolutely did not peek."

Andor held up three fingers and said in a pretentious manner, "I guessed based on my own ability."

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Leah practically had her disbelief written all over her face.

Andor smiled slightly as he looked at the two of them. "I watched it fair and square, by my own merit. You can't call it peeping."

"Ahhh, Andorra!"

A rare relaxed atmosphere permeated the flickering lights. Amidst thousands of discarded parts, three insects struggled through the mechanical torrent, occasionally letting out a cry of surprise as they discovered yet another usable component.

Shen Qingqing even discovered several receivers and fragments of the light touchscreen.

“Although these fragments are relatively small, they should still be usable when connected together,” Andor said, taking the light touchscreen fragments and offering a fair answer.

Shen Qingqing was carrying the things she had found and was about to get out of the pile of parts when she suddenly tripped and fell face down on the pile of parts.

"Lord Insect Mother!"

When Andor saw Shen Qingqing trip and fall inside, a look of anxiety appeared on his face. He wanted to run forward and pull her out of the pile of parts.

But Shen Qingqing sobbed twice, then refused his help, "Andorra, I'm fine..."

"It's a pity about the parts we just found," Shen Qingqing said apologetically, scratching her head. "I thought we could fix your chest cavity again."

He slowly walked out, stumbling along the uneven ground, bending down and rummaging through the dark, oily parts, muttering to himself.

"It works in Andorra, and there's that screw, but that model is hard to find... Hmm? This is..."

Shen Qingqing wiped the sweat from her face, brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, and her dark eyes were full of curiosity, which turned into joy when she saw what it was.

"Look what I found!" Shen Qingqing happily held up the small round ball. "It looks like a mechanical prosthetic eye!"

Shen Qingqing was very happy to have found this item; what if the model number matched?

Andor took the prosthetic eye she offered, focused his remaining prosthetic eye, and finally determined that it was the model he needed.

Shen Qingqing raised her head, looking at him as if she were asking for praise, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

The prosthetic eye was carefully placed on the table. Andor couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shen Qingqing's appearance. "Thank you for finding me the parts, Mother Insect!"

"You're too kind, it's all I should do," Shen Qingqing said with a smile, wiping her face.

But why did Andor keep looking at her, laughing every time he looked at her, then looking at her again after laughing, and then laughing again?

He turned to Leah, puzzled, and asked, "Leah, why is Andor looking at me and smiling for a while, then looking at me and smiling for a while?"

But she didn't expect that when Leah saw her, she was also stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth, turned her face away, and burst into laughter.

"Qingqing, your face... Ahahahaha..."

Unlike Andorra's suppressed laughter, Leah dropped the pretense and bluntly pointed at her face, saying, "Your face really, really looks like a little kitten..."

"Hmm?" Shen Qingqing turned around and saw her own face on the smooth, pieced-together touchscreen.

What kind of face is that?

There were large patches of black on her nose and forehead, and her two faces were as black as if they had been smeared with coal ash. Yet, she was fair-skinned, and with the smear of soot on her face, she looked just like a little kitten. Even she had to cover her mouth and laugh for a while when she saw it, so it's no wonder that they couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

"You two... you didn't even tell me, and you were secretly laughing to yourselves!" Shen Qingqing yelled and, taking advantage of their inattention, pounced on Andor, who was closest to her, and angrily smeared her black fingers on his fair face.

While wiping, she said fiercely, "I'll turn you into a little kitten too!"

Andorra's nose was smeared with black ink, and just as he was about to smear it on other parts of his nose, he suddenly realized that he had run out of ink.

So Shen Qingqing reluctantly let go of Andorra.

Just as Andor breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped the clutches of evil, he saw a malicious smile on Shen Qingqing's lips.

What is this going to do?

Seeing Shen Qingqing run towards the pile of parts, Andor didn't understand what she was going to do.

When Shen Qingqing turned around, the whole world trembled.

Because her hands were now full of engine oil!

Andor cried out in alarm and tried to escape, but Shen Qingqing blocked his way.

"Hahaha, you won't escape this time either!"

"Queen Insect, could you..."

"Can I let you go?" Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow.

"I regret to inform you that you cannot! Accept the sanctions!"

Andor bit his lower lip and turned his face to the side, but Shen Qingqing forcefully turned him back.

"Don't worry, I'll make you look really cool."

"...Could you...apply it..."

"What?" Seeing Andor's flushed face and hesitant expression, Shen Qingqing asked again, "I didn't hear what you said."

"Could you... paint it a little cuter for me?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Okay, but don't move around."

A few seconds later, seeing Andor's face, which was only slightly better than Shen Qingqing's, Lia almost laughed herself to death.

"Hahaha, Andorra, you've finally met your match! Your face is now a complete mess, and you even have whiskers!"

Amidst Lia's merciless mockery, Andor looked at his own face on the touchscreen.

Unexpectedly cute.

Andorra:oO

The tip of his nose was black, and there were three whiskers on each side of his face, which Shen Qingqing drew on based on his face shape, and she even emphasized that they were thicker.

"It's alright, cuter than I imagined."

"Pfft, haha, so cute! Andor, you're really cute right now! You look just like an innocent, pure-hearted virgin!"

Lia pointed out Andor's most striking characteristic: "You exude an aura of innocence from head to toe."
