The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Recruitment

Fu Yunhe had returned to the small wooden house a step earlier, ready to continue earning money.

But after working for a while, he started to feel itchy, unsure if he’d been bitten by some tiny insect.

He simply stopped what he was doing and opened up his Space Button, taking out a cylindrical metal object from inside.

The object was about half a meter tall and forty centimeters in diameter, and its entire body was silver-white.

This was the most common bathing device in interstellar space.

All you needed to do was press the green button in the middle of the cylinder, and it would automatically expand to form a shower space for one person.

Bathing in interstellar space, to be more precise, was essentially disinfection.

A human would stand inside, and gases sprayed from all directions of the cylinder could eliminate over ninety-eight percent of dirt and bacteria on the body, making it extremely convenient.

After turning on the cleaner, Fu Yunhe took off his coat and stepped in.

Standing inside, Fu Yunhe reached out an arm to activate it, and a clicking sound ensued.

Meanwhile, Nian Shutong had also returned to the small wooden house and knocked several times at Fu Yunhe’s door, calling out “Xiao He” a few times.

No response?

That shouldn’t be the case—the past few days he seemed to be in better health than before.

What’s going on? She wasn’t wishing the sick seedling dead, so why couldn’t he just stay alive?

“Bang!”

Nian Shutong kicked the wooden door open and came face-to-face with Fu Yunhe who was just finishing up and stepping out.

Fu Yunhe shivered and covered his private parts with both hands, retreating back into the cylinder.

“Is there something you need?”

Fu Yunhe asked, still maintaining his composure.

Nian Shutong was blinded by a dazzling whiteness, white so bright it seemed to glow. She looked down at her own dark hands.

Like an odd pair of black and white demons!

“I knocked and no one answered; I thought you were dead, so I kicked the door in,” Nian Shutong began with an explanation before Fu Yunhe could speak. Out of curiosity she asked, “Why are you so white?”

“I can’t cultivate, and your cultivation is useless, but our skin tones are too different.”

“Cough cough… I guess it’s natural,” said Fu Yunhe, standing uncomfortably in the cleaner, aware that even though his figure wasn’t clear from the outside, it was still visible.

“How about you go outside first, and we can talk after I get dressed?”

Nian Shutong naturally picked up on Fu Yunhe’s embarrassment and urgency, but she stubbornly didn’t abide by his wishes.

“Why go out? Are you afraid I’ll peek at you?”

“Don’t worry, if I wanted to look, I wouldn’t need to sneak peeks!”

The playful laughter made Fu Yunhe inside want to impulsively rush out and settle this.

However, considering Nian Shutong’s style of doing things, she probably didn’t possess the shyness of a young girl.

Or to put it another way, as soon as the word “shy” was mentioned, it was obvious it had nothing to do with Nian Shutong.

“Fine, then what do you need?” Fu Yunhe decided to just get straight to the point, hoping that after the talk she’d finally leave.

Nian Shutong stopped teasing him and asked directly:

“Xiao He, can you recruit people on the Star Network?”

Recruit?

Fu Yunhe, squatting inside with his arms around his knees, replied, “You can, but who are you looking to recruit?”

“People to work. The salt fields need someone to watch over them; the robots aren’t up to the task.”

“I need to clear and cultivate land as well, and that requires helping hands.”

Robots could work, but they only followed orders. It still required the flexible thinking of humans to handle certain tasks.

Fu Yunhe’s voice came from within the cleaner.

“As far as I know, others offer compensation; how much can you pay? Also, this planet has too many toxins; that will reduce the likelihood of people willing to come here.”

Fu Yunhe spoke truthfully; with countless good planets out there, who would come here?

Nian Shutong crossed her arms and circled the cleaner, primarily intrigued by the device. @@novelbin@@

But the shadow of her moving around made Fu Yunhe inside uncomfortably follow her movements in a squatting circle.

Nian Shutong then crouched in one spot, her eyebrows slightly raised: “Am I facing your head or your backside?”

Inside, Fu Yunhe replied with a sour face, “Head.”

“That’s good then,” Nian Shutong said no longer in a teasing manner, but rather with a seriousness in her voice,

“With the vastness of interstellar space, there must be one or two who can’t survive, right? If they can’t make it, coming here would be just right for them.”

“How about… you come out, and we can draft a job advertisement together?”
