Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

"I saw it!"

Jiang Shi's gaze locked onto the meteorite, its surface dark and dull, looking quite substantial.

Approach quickly.

Raise the space vacuum cleaner, aim at the target, and press the button.

An invisible vortex enveloped the massive meteorite.

The meteorite trembled slightly, its surface began to peel away fine debris, and its volume shrank...

A few seconds later, the meteorite was completely absorbed.

Xiao Ai's notification sounded: "Recycling failed, no supplies obtained!"

"……What?"

Jiang Shi listened, somewhat shocked.

Such a large meteorite, and nothing about it?

"No way, Xiao Ai, is there something wrong with my space vacuum cleaner?" Jiang Shi couldn't help but ask.

"Reporting to Master, everything is normal. Obtaining supplies from meteorites is a probabilistic event, not a certainty."

Jiang Shi sighed, somewhat depressed.

But seeing so many meteorites and so many opportunities, he rallied:

"Alright, probability it is. Let's move on, next one!"

However, just as he was preparing to look for his next target, Guo Wanxing suddenly exclaimed in surprise over the communicator:

"Jiang Shi!"

Jiang Shi's heart tightened, thinking she was in danger. He immediately changed direction, activated the thrusters at full power, and sped off in the direction she had just left.

"What's wrong, Wanxing? What happened?!"

A few seconds later, he arrived at Guo Wanxing's side.

She was floating next to a meteorite that was only about one meter in diameter, and she seemed to be unharmed.

But the expression under the mask was a bit strange.

"N-nothing serious..."

Guo Wanxing felt a little embarrassed when she saw him rushing over with a worried look on his face.

"I got a rare treasure chest and a high-quality potato! I'm so excited!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi rolled his eyes under his helmet, indicating that he was speechless.

Reflecting on what she had just lost, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.

He painstakingly recovered a meteorite several times her size but gained nothing.

They casually collect rare treasure chests and excellent crops, getting off to a flying start.

Isn't this luck a bit too outrageous?

Jiang Shi asked himself this question in his mind, remaining silent for several seconds before finally squeezing out, "...Impressive. Just next time, don't make such a fuss, it's a bit too much for my heart..."

He was telling the truth; he genuinely thought something had happened to her.

He said that aloud, but in his heart he was complaining: "This is outrageous! Is this fair? Why...?"

But what caused him to have a heart attack was yet to come.

What kind of "special attention" did Jiang receive over the next two and a half hours?

They specifically targeted meteorites that appeared large and had unusual colors, but the results were deeply moving:

A colossal piece with a diameter of 4 meters yielded 10 kg of iron, 80 kg of copper, and 30 kg of aluminum.

A silvery-white meteorite: 15kg of titanium alloy was recovered.

There are also frequent instances of empty cargo.

Forget rare treasure chests and high-quality crops, he hasn't even seen a single ordinary treasure chest yet.

The energy stone has also vanished without a trace...

On the other hand, Guo Wanxing seemed to have been kissed by Lady Luck.

She's already obtained all the Tier 2 raw stones, and her basic materials are more than enough.

Listening to Guo Wanxing's occasional good news, Jiang Shi went from initial surprise to numbness and finally depression.

He could only silently comfort himself: It's okay, it's okay, what's hers is mine. He needed to keep a calm mindset to catch a big fish...

However, seeing myself pitifully retract my order, I became depressed.

He even wondered if it was because today's lunar calendar was unlucky, or that Guo Wanxing was bringing him bad luck!

I'm numb. Is it because Guo Wanxing is my nemesis and has sucked away my luck?

With this question in mind, Jiang Shi carefully retrieved the meteorite...

Two and a half hours later.

A warning signal indicating insufficient oxygen levels came from inside Guo Wanxing's spacesuit.

Although she wanted to continue, the lack of oxygen forced her to stop.

"Jiang Shi, I'm running out of oxygen!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi, seeing that he still had nearly 70% oxygen remaining, said in a complicated tone, "Um... I'll take you back!"

"Okay," Guo Wanxing replied happily.

Jiang Shi, with a blank expression, escorted the beaming Guo Wanxing back to her cabin section 6.

The two people's expressions formed a stark contrast:

One looked listless, the other was radiant and joyful.

Having safely arrived at compartment 6, Jiang Shi was originally prepared to return immediately.

Ke Qu was stopped by Guo Wanxing, who said she wanted to give him a surprise.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Shi had to go in with Guo Wanxing.

Because Guo Wanxing's spaceship hadn't been repaired at all, it started to float as soon as it entered.

"Wanxing, what's the surprise?" Jiang Shi asked indifferently, wanting only to leave as soon as possible.

"What's the rush?"

Guo Wanxing turned around, took off her spacesuit, and looked at Jiang Shi with a grin.

Jiang Shi, however, had no patience to wait and urged, "Time is of the essence, let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Since the two made their relationship clear in the cabin, Guo Wanxing has become much more relaxed and less reserved.

But at this moment, listening to her deliberately drawn-out tone, it sounded like she was being coquettish.

Jiang Shi was somewhat at a loss. In all his life, apart from the time he was scammed, Guo Wanxing was one of only two girls who acted coquettishly towards him.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, she subconsciously frowned, trying her best to restrain herself: "Okay, I'll give you 5 minutes."

"A stingy guy who won't even let you take off your spacesuit and talk properly for 5 minutes."

Guo Wanxing wrinkled her nose, but quickly changed the subject, her eyes softening, "But thank you so much for today."

She paused for a moment, then took out the rare treasure chest.

He handed it to Jiang Shi, smiling, "Here, this is for you! Consider it payment! How about a surprise?"

A rare treasure chest, and you're just going to give it to yourself like that?

Jiang Shi was stunned, and his first reaction was to refuse.

"No, please don't! This is too valuable! Keep it for yourself."

"No!"

Guo Wanxing's tone was unexpectedly firm, even a little defiant.

"You have to accept it! Otherwise, I won't use any more growth-promoting agents on your crops, and you'll just die!"

Hearing this threat, Jiang Shi felt a warmth in his heart.

He knew that Guo Wanxing genuinely wanted to thank him, and was even using this method to force him to accept it.

But rare treasure chests are still too valuable, so he tentatively asked, "Are you sure? If you give it to me, I'll really accept it. If I regret it later, I won't give it back to you."

"Yes, yes! I'm sure!"

Guo Wanxing nodded without hesitation.

"I originally intended to give it to you. Take it; whatever you get, I'll be happy!"

"...Alright then."

"So... I'll really accept it?"

Jiang Shi pretended to extend his hand, deliberately making the movement very slow.

"Collect it! Collect it! Hurry up!"

Seeing his indecisiveness, Guo Wanxing simply pushed the treasure chest into his arms.

Then he stepped back and drifted away towards a corner.

"Jiang Shi, you can go now. I need to upgrade my spaceship."

"I'll go find you again once I've replenished my oxygen supply!"

"OK."

Jiang Shi said no more and put the rare treasure chest into his storage space.

He glanced at Guo Wanxing, turned and left, closing the outer hatch behind him.

Back in space, facing the vast asteroid belt and the deep expanse of space, Jiang Shi felt his heart beating a little faster.

Whispering:

"This is a rare treasure chest, and you just gave it to me like that?"

"Guo Wanxing, I feel like you're the idiot..."
