Chapter 700: Wide Network of Contacts
Chapter 700: Wide Network of Contacts
The door of the warehouse was immediately opened from the inside. Chun Jing carefully stuck half of his head out and looked at the scene outside the warehouse.
After seeing that all the guards outside had indeed withdrawn, he patted his chest with his hands as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Then he let out a long sigh of relief.
In his right hand he was still holding a small robot that had been forced to shut down.
The little robot looked gray, and some of its parts and the silver coating on the outside were worn out, so much so that it made a slight creaking sound when it was shaken.
Lu Chihuan estimated that——
This should be one of the little robots that he and Jinwu have been looking for these days and that deliberately escaped from the Mechanical City.
It's really hard to find it after searching everywhere -
It takes no effort at all.
It turned out that I was right to let Jinwu monitor Chun Jing's every move. Chun Jing did have a secret, and this secret was indeed inextricably linked to this little robot.
although.
Chun Jing and the little robot somehow destroyed the offerings to the Mermaid Emperor.
Not only did it attract the aggressive Stuka Lumen, but it also almost turned into fireworks under the opponent's anger by the explosive device.
But fortunately, he had a silver tongue and the matter was resolved without any danger.
"stop looking."
"They've gone far away."
Lu Chihuan bent down and stretched out his hand, letting the Golden Crow jump into his palm. He then took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off its body. "But this place is not very safe. Let's leave first."
After finishing speaking.
He placed Jinwu on his shoulder and motioned Chunjing to follow him.
Chun Jing had been watching the negotiation between Lu Chihuan and Stuka Lumen with Jin Wu behind the windowsill. He originally thought that Lu Chihuan was just an ordinary person with some mechanical knowledge, but just now he saw that he was still as good as the emperor in the confrontation.
Whether the two sides were fighting in close combat or using mental power, the fight was evenly matched.
This is simply amazing.
All of a sudden.
His admiration and respect for Lu Chihuan was like a gurgling spring, almost overflowing after it filled his eyes.
The originally slightly cold face also seemed a little excited, his fingers clenched unconsciously, and he looked up at Lu Chihuan from time to time, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
It seems like he has a lot to say.
Finally he scratched his cheek.
Then he whispered, "Isn't it unsafe for you to go back to the hotel now? If the guards want to search us, they will definitely find us. Why don't you stay at my house first? There are no surveillance cameras nearby."
Lu Chihuan tilted his head.
To be honest, he wasn't worried that the guards would come to track down his identity.
After all, their emperor was still wearing the bracelet that he had forcefully fastened on his wrist, and the other party's life depended on his thoughts, so those guards would surely be cautious and dare not do anything to anger him.
but.
He was indeed quite interested in Chun Jing's home, and they could sit down and have a good chat about what happened to the little robot.
Therefore Lu Chihuan did not refuse.
He nodded.
The beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved, and looked at Chun Jing with a half-smile, then said jokingly, "Why, aren't you afraid that I might have other plans for you now?"
Although Chun Jing had a pleasant conversation with him before, he did not reveal much of his address and detailed information when they talked.
Being on guard against him is like being on guard against a thief.
Upon hearing this, Chun Jing's body stiffened. He probably felt embarrassed, so he lowered his head and kicked the pebbles at his feet.
After a moment, he drily defended himself, "I live alone, without parents or relatives to look after me. I was able to grow up safely because of my caution and carefulness, so... I didn't target you specifically before."
Lu Chihuan didn't bother with Chun Jing.
In his eyes, Chun Jing is still a teenager, and he would be too petty if he really cared about it.
And he can also understand Chun Jing.
Although Chun Jing's parents have passed away, he still has the house and savings left to him by his parents. This is like a child carrying gold in a busy city. People with bad intentions will surely pounce on him like hyenas smelling meat.
To tear off a piece of meat.
So it’s not surprising that Chun Jing developed such a cautious and vigilant character.
After all, he was not fooled by Chun Jing, and now he has found the little robot smoothly. Since the result is good, there is no need to worry about what happened before.
"I don't mean to blame you."
Lu Chihuan stretched out his hand and placed it on the top of his head, then rubbed it randomly for a few times. His voice sounded a little bit funny, "I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."
"It's good that you have such vigilance."
Seeing that Lu Chihuan really didn't seem unhappy, Chun Jing finally relaxed.
He pursed his lips.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally revealed his true thoughts, "Besides, you and this person are both the superior executive officers of the little robot, and your strength is so powerful."
"If they really wanted to do something to me, they would have done it long ago."
“There’s no need to wait until now.”
It would be as easy for the other party to kill him as it would be to kill an ant. The little things he has... the other party probably doesn't even think highly of them.
So he can rest assured.
After whispering these words, Chun Jing looked at Lu Chihuan curiously and asked a series of questions unconsciously, "Are you an old acquaintance of the Emperor? How did you convince him just now?"
Because Lu Chihuan and Stuka Lumen were a little far from the warehouse.
As a result, he could only hear unclear and intermittent words, but had no idea about the specific content of the conversation between the two.
"It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is tyrannical and murderous, but I saw that he seemed to be frustrated in front of you just now, as if he couldn't stand you but couldn't get rid of you."
Lu Chihuan lowered his eyes.
As if he was lost in some memories, he shrugged towards Chun Jing after a moment, "I know him, but he doesn't know me, and you shouldn't say he is tyrannical and unjust."
"He used to be a romantic and passionate man. He has become like this now just to protect Stuhai and you people."
"I heard you say that."
"He will definitely be sad."
After hearing this, Chun Jing blinked, then nodded slowly.
His eyes were still fixed on Lu Chihuan's face, with a bit of inquiry and confusion, as if he wanted to see clearly what kind of person this hybrid merman standing in front of him looked like.
Honestly.
He didn't think the relationship between Lu Chihuan and His Majesty was as simple as the other party said.
If it were that simple, why would the other party speak for Your Majesty? Besides, what does it have to do with him whether Your Majesty is sad or not?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Chihuan was keenly aware of Chun Jing's gaze. He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his cheek. His thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly. "Is there something on my face?"
Chun Jing hasn't said anything yet.
Jinwu, who was sitting on his shoulder, couldn't help but sneer, and the inorganic electronic sound sounded a bit weird.
"He was looking at why you have such a wide network of contacts. Not only do you know the CEO of the Mechanical City, you also know the emperor of the Mermaids, and you even have a connection with the leader of the Ghost Pirates."
Listen.
Such sour words.
Lu Chihuan heard that Jin Wu was using Chun Jing to express his dissatisfaction, so he took the other person off his shoulders and rubbed him a few times, as if he was petting the other person.
He smiled and curved his eyes, and sweet words came out almost immediately, "Who would complain about having too many good friends?"
"and."
"The relationship between you and me is different. You are my comrade-in-arms who has been through life and death together and whom I can trust. We can fight side by side on the battlefield until the last day."
The core of the Golden Crow felt faintly hot.
Although he knew that Lu Chihuan's words had no special meaning.
But I was still bewitched.
At this moment, its processor was a little confused. It was obviously confused by the trick. "This, this is what you said."
Chun Jing was not surprised to see that Lu Chihuan calmed down the little robot's superior executive with just a few words.
He discovered when he talked with Lu Chihuan before... The other party was cheerful and casual. He could talk about any topic, and what he said would not make people feel offended or bored. Instead, it was very comfortable.
It's like a ray of sunshine in spring, neither too hot nor too cold.
This person just has that kind of magic.
It can make people unconsciously let down their guard.
There were several times when Chun Jing could hardly control his mouth, and the words of inviting Lu Chihuan to his house were already on his lips.
But in the end.
He still managed to swallow it.
On the way to Chun Jing's home, Lu Chihuan deliberately chose a road without surveillance and took a few detours. He also used a deformation sticker to adjust his height and appearance.
In this case.
Then you don’t have to worry about anything.
Chun Jing's home is almost no different from the surrounding houses.
It is a two-story building.
By the way, he also brought a large yard with an evergreen osmanthus tree planted in it. In the corner were piles of discarded materials that he had collected from somewhere, and a few unknown flowers and plants were hanging half-dead.
Apparently Chun Jing didn't seem to have any talent for caring for plants.
The house seemed to be quite old, so both the walls and the door were covered with a layer of dust, and it was not very noticeable from the outside.
"come in."
Chun Jing rarely brought people to his home, so after he opened the door with the key, he raised his lower lip to Lu Chihuan with a little restraint, "It's a bit messy inside."
"Don't mind it."
Lu Chihuan naturally wouldn't mind.
After all, he had seen Zhishu's workshop not long ago, and it was really messy. Countless materials, parts and semi-finished products that had not been completely completed were piled on the ground, leaving almost no place to step.
And the branches and books are not allowed to be cleaned up.
He said that there is order in chaos, and the more chaotic it is, the more likely he can find what he needs.
perhaps.
This is what mechanics have in common.
After the two entered the living room, Chun Jing placed the small robot in his hand on the chair, and then hesitantly said, "There is only boiled water at home, and a little bit of mint leaves that I dried before."
"Brother Lu."
He automatically upgraded Lu Chihuan's address to Brother Lu, and then asked carefully, "Do you want plain water or mint tea?"
Lu Chihuan was looking around the living room.
After looking around for a few times, his eyes fell on the small robot that was forced to shut down. Hearing this, he casually said, "Boiled water."
Upon hearing this.
Chun Jing immediately went to the kitchen to pour water for Lu Chihuan. When he came out with the cup of water, he saw Lu Chihuan was already using tools that he had found from somewhere, and was removing the materials and parts from the chest of the small robot.
A holographic projection appeared on the communicator on his wrist.
Look at it from Chunjing's perspective.
All that could be seen were two men who looked much younger than the average age of the mermaids. Their facial features looked slightly similar, and when they looked at the little robot it was as if they had seen something new and exotic.
With a little excitement.
"Are you saying that its chip might have been tampered with by someone, so that the instructions were also tampered with, and indiscriminate destruction occurred..."
"Huanhuan, you really gave me a big problem as soon as you went out."
"But I like this kind of challenging things. I was invited to the Mechanical City before and did maintenance on the mechas and robots there. For me..."
"It shouldn't be a problem."
The man standing next to him crossed his arms. Judging from his appearance, he should be a man who is arrogant because of his talent, but at this moment, for some reason, he suppressed his temper and said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm here to watch over you."
Lu Chihuan smiled at them and said, "I have never doubted your strength. When I encountered this problem, I immediately thought of you, Zhishu. And Master Fanxing, you happened to be here too."
"I'm really lucky."
Zhishu was obviously delighted to hear this, "Friends are there to help."
"If you don't call me when you encounter problems, I will be unhappy... Yes, unscrew this screw again. The body of this little robot must have been opened by someone else."
"The opponent's method was too rough. There are scratches inside..."
Chun Jing stared at the scene in a daze.
The mechanical knowledge mentioned by the two men in the holographic projection was something he had never come across before, so at this moment he was instantly attracted to it and listened with fascination.
It was only when Lu Chihuan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the tip of his nose that he noticed Chun Jing's figure.
He nodded towards Chun Jing.
"I have heard from Jinwu about what happened between you and the little robot. We suspect that the chip of the little robot has been tampered with, so we want to modify it now."
“Both of them are my friends.”
"One of them is a genius mecha repair designer, and the other is a famous mecha master in the universe. With their assistance, the little robot will definitely be able to be repaired."
Chun Jing couldn't help but nodded after hearing Lu Chihuan explain so much to him.
The hand grabbed the hem of his clothes a few times and wiped the sticky sweat from his palm. After a moment, he stammered, "I also have some mechanical knowledge, why don't I help you."
Lu Chihuan naturally agreed.
After all, he didn't major in mechanics before, so he looks a bit unfamiliar now. Chun Jing has talent in this area, and perhaps he is more steady, accurate and quicker than him.
Chun Jing was overjoyed.
He immediately picked up the tools and came to Lu Chihuan, then looked at Zhishu and Fanxing eagerly, with a look of thirst for knowledge.
"Cough cough."
Zhishu coughed lightly, embarrassed, "Let's continue now."
With the guidance of Zhishu and Fanxing, Lu Chihuan and Chun Jing worked together to carefully dismantle the redundant device on the chip, and then let Jinwu connect to it to restore the tampered instructions.
"That should be fine."
Zhishu touched his chin and said, "Why don't you try turning it on now?"
Lu Chihuan heard this.
After finding the power button behind the little robot, he quickly pressed it.
Only a crisp dripping sound was heard.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the little robot's eyes lit up again.
