Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 51: Clearly Praising Him
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Clearly Praising Him
The hostility from Qin Lan can only be seen as a kind of seasoning in Shen Shi’s life now.
However, even if Shen Shi’s emotions and regard for human civilization mostly stem from the empathy of being human, a small part also comes from the enjoyment and anticipation of life.
From falling in love, forming a family, nurturing children, to climbing the career ladder, being in the spotlight, even becoming a "big shot" forever remembered in human history.
All these are what make up "life".
Most of this is a future he can no longer achieve after choosing to escape Blue Star and distance himself from human civilization.
So, he can strive for changing the fate of humanity, build magnificent Planet Fortresses, battle alien fleets, and at the same time enjoy luxury and flamboyance, share romantic nights with Ai Xin’Er, and gather familial love with his family.
For everyone’s life naturally encompasses both the "big" and the "small".
Therefore, his differing status and powers won’t make him impatient with these minor details.
Once Shen Shi brought the two to their destination, Qin Lan seemed finally to snap out of her gloom, brimming with energy again.
Trying to pick on Shen Shi.
"With so many people here and so much noise, aren’t you afraid something might happen since you brought such a beauty like Sister Xin’Er?"
"This isn’t a bar or a big stall, it’s not that easy for something to happen." Shen Shi replied lazily.
"That’s because you don’t understand Sister Xin’Er’s charm!" Qin Lan grew more exasperated seeing Shen Shi’s nonchalant demeanor. "Even without makeup, she gets hit on all the time, and today she dressed up for a whole hour, don’t you notice?"
"Qin Lan! You’re asking for it!"
Before Shen Shi could react, Ai Xin’Er couldn’t take it anymore. She pinched Qin Lan’s waist, her face blushing red.
An hour, meaning she started getting ready the moment Shen Shi called, the implication is quite evident.
When Shen Shi realized this, looking at Qin Lan’s aggrieved expression, he also wanted to laugh.
Is this picking on him or giving him a hand?
"Alright, rest assured, thirty plus bodyguards are waiting around. At a command, all the thugs would be kneeling down singing ’Conquer’, let’s go, let’s go." He directly pulled Ai Xin’Er inside.
Seeing this, Qin Lan stomped her feet anxiously but followed them inside nevertheless.
Upon entering, the meat crab pot restaurant in the grand mall, remarkably elegant in its decor, noticeably quieted down a lot.
Countless eyes turned towards them.
Especially focusing on Ai Xin’Er.
As Qin Lan had said, Ai Xin’Er was particularly stunning after her meticulous preparation, even with light makeup and a simple monochrome long dress, she managed to astound everyone, drawing attention from stages to streets, she would undoubtedly be the center of attention, the indisputable C-position.
Qin Lan scurried over, hugging Ai Xin’Er’s other arm, shooting a challenging look at Shen Shi.
See, I’m not wrong, am I?
Shen Shi merely smiled, unbuttoning two buttons on his shirt, adjusting his stance, then scanned the store.
Immediately, many people promptly lowered their heads.
Even Qin Lan found herself stunned.
For at this moment, Shen Shi exuded an intense sense of dominance!
Underneath the unbuttoned shirt displayed perfectly was his firm chest, not excessively large from gym protein training, but powerful, with a steely texture!
One glance and you’d know, this person is not to be messed with!
No one would doubt the violence beneath those muscles!
Paired with his tall and straight build, sharp gaze, everyone meeting his eyes would almost instinctively avoid them.
Afraid of drawing his attention.
When Qin Lan came back to her senses, her first thought was—this is trouble!
As expected, when she looked at Ai Xin’Er, her sister Xin’Er’s gaze was firmly fixed on Shen Shi, glinting with unusual brilliance, her body involuntarily leaning closer, a mixture of awe and enchantment on her face.
Unbelievable, this guy’s ability is too high!
Qin Lan was on the verge of tears.
You said men with money are big-time players, Sister Xin’Er told me this, so stay reserved!
"Three, give us a larger spot." Shen Shi successfully intimidated a bunch of eager men, holding Ai Xin’Er’s hand, speaking to the server, and inadvertently showing his watch again, suppressing the few who seemed to have some resources, yet were still unwilling to give up.
Good looks, strength, money, and obviously a close relationship with Ai Xin’Er.
Unless truly foolish, no one would seek trouble.
However, Shen Shi was not fully satisfied.
He wasn’t merely showing off his newly evolved muscles and adjusting his posture like a practitioner. His final gaze utilized a newly learned primordial energy technique.
Unfortunately, while effective, the impact was not significant.
Otherwise, the place, say not pin-drop silent, should at least have no one dare to look this way.
Who knows when he would truly master this field, reaching a level like the Collector, or even Gong Chu.
"Shen Shi, when did you train those muscles, I hadn’t noticed before."
Sitting down, Ai Xin’Er eagerly asked, her face flushing pink, her eyes drilling right into Shen Shi’s chest.
She had always thought she didn’t like muscular men, now realizing it was just certain men she disliked; for Shen Shi’s understated yet powerful look, she particularly favored it.
If only...
Ah, can’t think anymore, gotta stop.
With immense willpower, Ai Xin’Er moved her gaze away.
Don’t think only men can be lustful, women can too.
"Just casual exercise." Shen Shi didn’t dwell on this topic, even though he noticed Ai Xin’Er’s accelerated hormone secretion.
Having a physique gained through cheats, it’s fine to flaunt a bit to outsiders; no need to boast in front of Ai Xin’Er.
But Qin Lan, seeming to have caught a weak point, brightened her eyes, hastening to speak: "You can’t get that with just casual exercise, taking off your outerwear on a basketball court, no girl would resist chasing you."
"If I want to chase after girls, do I need to rely on my physique?" Shen Shi gave her a calm glance.
"That’s not necessarily true." Qin Lan, thinking she caught a scumbag flaw in Shen Shi, smugly replied, "Some girls can’t be pursued with money, but you’re different; drive your luxury car, show off your physique, along with your looks and presence, a lap around campus, and the entire school would go wild, girls chasing you madly, countless would be heartbroken by you in the end..."
"..." Shen Shi gave Ai Xin’Er a glance for her to feel herself.
Ai Xin’Er covered her eyes, almost despairing over her friend.
Are you picking on him? You’re clearly complimenting him with all your might!
