"That's great! I lost weight just listening to it."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"It was caught."
Yixian, who was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, was stunned. "Huh? Why did you suddenly want to learn to play the pipa from me?"
Facing the wedding ship, Da Feng held her head high and showed no fear, even acting more like a queen than the queen, intending to show off her power.
So she pretended to be helpless but actually showed off and replied in a delicate voice: "Huh~ It's nothing, it's just a mission assigned to me by the commander~"
Chapter 975: The Purifier Doesn’t Want to Work
[META Ship] Very deceptive, and since the Observer has never shown his face, the Purifier is more likely to be exposed
That pretty face was remembered by countless people as the image of a big devil. It was engraved in their minds, and it would be difficult to fool them without changing the facial features.
Moreover, Su Xin had no idea about the so-called "assessment of the strength of the port area" business and was afraid that some strange procedures were waiting for her.
To be on the safe side, she needed to say hello to the Purifier in advance. It would be best if she changed her face to "Jingzhe" and endured it for a few days, and then changed back after the people left.
As for why they didn’t use mobile phone notifications but chose to come in person…
On the one hand, since the Purifier returned to Hong Kong, he had been staying in his room playing games every day, so if she sent a message, the other party might not be able to see it.
Voice and video calls are quite noisy, and the ringtone really affects one's mood. She happens to be free now, so it would be nice to bring some snacks to visit her friends.
On the other hand, Da Yan Meng's attitude towards her is too sincere.
Although good friends don't need to care too much about gains and losses, it is inappropriate to accept someone's kindness but only provide basic food and lodging.
Su Xin considered for a long time, and finally decided to take this opportunity to give the other party a general overview of the situation in the [Virtual Port Area].
Now the main progress bar is stuck at [90%], or to be more precise, it should be [], which is infinitely close to [90%].
Because the last time she arrived at [90%], she was able to see through the outside and manipulate the essence of things, and directly removed the discordant symbols on [Helena].
Her state at that time was one of unparalleled control and absolute rational indifference. She seemed to be able to understand everything in the world, including the Siren technology that was ahead of humans.
But ever since that brief peak, she has never been able to cross this infinitesimal hurdle again, and measures like eating the Rubik's Cube are simply useless.
Unlike the [META] state that supports active activation, she couldn't find a way to replicate it, and couldn't even remember what she was thinking at the time.
Curious to death, but helpless.
Su Xin felt that she wouldn't be able to sort out her thoughts if she continued to hold it in, so it would be better for her to go along with the cooperative relationship and feed the information back so that Da Yan Meng could gain something and submit it to the leader.
She had prepared a draft in her mind and had sorted out everything clearly, but when she arrived at the old dormitory, she saw two acquaintances.
"Qin? When did you come back?"
The white-haired [Enterprise] and the [Hunter] holding large scissors looked up when they heard the voice, looked over together, and nodded slightly to greet him.
"We just arrived and wanted to ask [Helena] to help arrange a room, but then you came." [Enterprise] never beats around the bush and explains the situation concisely.
Helena had mentioned this before, and Su Xin still remembered it, so she didn't seem very surprised. On the contrary, it was the Hunter who seemed more curious about the surrounding environment.
"Haven't you seen green plants for a long time?" the little commander asked her.
The Hunter nodded, and his cold eyes softened. "Yes, it's been several years. I can hardly see any green."
"Then you can go shopping after you settle down. There is a commercial street outside, selling snacks and clothes. If you have the chance, ask Nana to take you there, or I can take you there."
"Yes, but I want to get familiar with the base first."
A base is, in a sense, a home, but Su Xin feels that this understanding is not quite right. How can one accept and live in a new environment after only seeing it once?
So she didn't take it too seriously, nodded politely, and looked at the old dormitory behind the two of them, "Are you looking for [Nana] now?"
[Enterprise] trusted the young commander very much and immediately changed his words: "Actually not. If you are here, then you can make the arrangements. Let her have a good rest. She has worked hard recently."
"I think you must be having a hard time. The back of your hand is still smoking. Are you okay?"
There was a burn-like mark on the pale skin, the size of an egg, gray-black in color, like burnt charcoal, emitting wisps of green smoke.
[Enterprise] raised his hand and looked at it, not taking it seriously, "It's normal to be injured, and with your help, it will be easy to recover."
"It's not a matter of inconvenience, but you're being too frugal with it, aren't you?" Su Xin took out a new piece of metal and stuffed it in. "I told you to bring it back to me to charge it, so feel free to use it."
It is quite rare to find people who are willing to use themselves as power stations, especially those who help others charge their batteries for free.
[Enterprise] smiled for the first time, returned the metal piece, took out the one in his pocket, held it in his palm and accepted the treatment.
"I see, thank you. If there's anything you want, you can tell me and I'll keep an eye out for you when I go out."
"Not yet, you should take care of yourself." Su Xin said, looking at the Hunter who had taken off his hat at some point, "Which floor do you like to live on? There are a lot of empty rooms, you can choose."
[Hunter] shook his head, "Thank you, the first floor is fine."
"Okay, but... can you put away the scissors when you're at home recently? Someone will be checking in a couple of days, and I'm afraid they'll misunderstand and think you're a gardener..."
The Hunter, whose main job is indeed to trim "flowers" but who is reluctant to destroy nearby green plants, is unusually easy to talk to. He casually put away his three-piece set of light, sword and cannon, and after thinking for a moment, he stuffed his hat into the space.
She is quite similar to [Enterprise], taking matters of all sizes very seriously, “I hope this won’t cause you any trouble.”
Daily life in the port area is very dull. Su Xin is used to growing grass, so she is a little uncomfortable when suddenly facing such a person, which makes her become restrained.
"No, no, it won't cause any trouble. Just treat it as your own home. Then... can you live in the middle? The room is a distance away from the others, so it's quieter."
"it is good."
"Then I'll take you there first, and I'll introduce you to the port area later. Enterprise, please go call Nana and Observer, I have something to tell you."
[Enterprise] No detailed questions, complete trust
This trust was established in the distant past when she drank the warm chicken soup despite being seriously injured.
She nodded and was about to go when she saw the door open. Helena, wearing a blue and white dress, came out and knocked on the observer's door.
[Hunter] nodded to [Helena] and then walked straight towards the new residence, not caring about the so-called "something".
Commander Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with the observer who was eating an apple and walking out, and the four of them went upstairs together and entered Big Eyes Meng's room.
The Purifier was sucking her fingers. She had only eaten half of her potato chips. "What's the matter? You came to my place suddenly. Are you going to hold a party? No one told me in advance?"
"No, it's me." Su Xin sat next to the Purifier and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, "I'm going to provide materials for your work report.
Da Yan Meng let his good friend wipe it, and then continued to pick up potato chips, "Work report? Isn't my job to just be a jerk here?"
The eaten apple drew an arc in the air and hit the Purifier's head, causing her to scream in pain, and fell into the trash can at her feet.
The observer withdrew his hand and warned with a curled lip: "Pay attention, I'm still here, be careful or I'll tell the Dream Weaver about it."
"Ha! You're just jealous that Susu wiped my hands but didn't wipe yours! The octopus preparing for pregnancy really has a bad temper. Go back and eat your...what Jesus!"
Su Xin was helpless, "It's Ye Su, to prevent fetal malformation... Wait, what do you mean by preparing for pregnancy?"
The octopus girl crossed her legs and hugged her chest, humming righteously under Helena's dark gaze.
"Of course it's the core. I was born for you, so you have to take responsibility. Take good care of me recently and keep me in a good mood, so that the core will not be deformed~"
Su Xin was stunned, "...Why do I feel that your news is much more shocking than mine."
The Purifier was shocked when he heard this, "You, you are also going to prepare for pregnancy?!"
Su Xin was immediately furious. She grabbed the other person's hand, took a bite of the potato chips along with her fingers, and rolled her eyes at the other person's fake crying that was too much of an act.
“It’s a matter of cooperation. I want to tell you about my special abilities.
"Wow, wow, wow-ah? Really?! Wow... I actually have to write a work report. Do you think Dream Weaver will call and scold me if he sees the typos?"
"...she uses the phone?"
"Oh yeah...she would just call me back and scold me QA Q..."
Chapter 976 They Have a Sense of Propriety
"Is everyone here?"
"Not yet. Commander Chen is still on his way."
"Hehe... on the way? I'm afraid he might fall down in the land of tenderness and won't be able to get up."
The sturdy man with dark skin frowned and said, "Xuejiu Zhao, just shut up. You keep talking nonsense all day long. It's annoying to listen to you."
The skinny middle-aged man snorted coldly, "What? Did I say something wrong? Or do you think I'm mocking you?"
The big man glared, slammed the table and stood up, "What the hell are you talking about, you sausage?!"
The slightly mean man was not frightened, and continued to speak slowly: "The stone in the toilet, besides making noise, it will also destroy public property. Stay away from me."
"you?!"
"Okay, okay, calm down." The bearded man sitting in the corner tried to smooth things over in a gentle voice, "Don't invite my wife in. I still want to smoke a cigarette."
Upon hearing this, the sturdy man, who was about meters tall, glared at the man surnamed Zhao fiercely, then sat down with anger suppressed.
The bearded man moved a chair over and sat down, handing him a cigarette. "Shi Tou, why are you arguing with him? The people in the research department are too smart. You can't win if they start to argue."
The sturdy man called "Stone" took the cigarette and sneered, "I just can't stand him always gossiping behind my back and talking nonsense—
Drink, it's okay for you to be a little rough in the logistics department, there are girls outside, don't talk nonsense."
The bearded man patted him and nodded to the woman at the next table, "I'm sorry, Miss Yin, everyone in his department is a rough guy, so I was a little blunt, please don't be offended."
The young woman wearing glasses waved her hands to indicate that she didn't mind, but she didn't say anything. Her wooden face looked very cold.
The strong commander Shi also felt that it was inappropriate. His secretary often asked him to make changes, but unfortunately he was outspoken and not easy to correct.
"Sorry, sister. Oh, no, Miss Yin." Shitou touched his shaved head and said, "I didn't mean that. I just think Lao Zhao is annoying."
The skinny Commander Zhao was unhappy when he heard this. "I'm annoying? My daughter and I got up at five in the morning and have been waiting until now, but that pervert hasn't come yet. Is this my fault?"
Shitou had not yet spit out the cigarette he had just smoked and wanted to bang the table, but was held back by the bearded man.
"If you call me again, my girl will come in. Please be kind. She doesn't let me smoke at home. I'll have my fill. If you two can't stop, then go out and fight, okay?"
Smoke came out of Shitou's thick nostrils. "Tsk, for Xiao Zheng's sake."
Old Zhao didn't intend to push his luck and glanced at the bearded man. "Tsk tsk, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs is really capable. He just took office. You should familiarize yourself with the business as soon as possible. I will need your help in many things in the future."
The bearded man smiled naively, "No, I just talked a lot. You guys work much harder than me. I will definitely help you if you need any help."
Old Zhao glanced at the bearded man indifferently without saying a word. Shi Tou was smoking a cigarette and his expression looked much better. The woman surnamed Yin did not react at all and seemed to be in a trance.
In any case, the quarrel stopped, which made Commander Zheng secretly relieved and extremely regretful for his decision to agree to the promotion and transfer.
You said he was a worker at the headquarters, went on business trips twice a year, worked at event sites and took vacations, and his life was so comfortable, so why did he want to be promoted?
Now he is the Deputy Minister of the Navy's Diplomatic Department. He has a lot of documents to deal with every day. He doesn't have many social engagements, but he can't turn them down. He has to have dinner with all kinds of people.
Wouldn't it be nice for him to go home and eat with his wife? Wouldn't it be nice to tease the wedding ship and have some fun? Wouldn't it be beautiful to tell some awkward jokes afterwards and let Cologne complain about them in a cold and charming way?
"I'm such a moron. I can't even give up now."
Commander Zheng, who is not as old as Shitou and Lao Zhao, feels bitter and misses the days when the secretary ship explained the rules in front of everyone while he used to use a Little Bee loudspeaker to make trouble in the back.
"What a pity..." He took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled, "I can't go back..."
"Commander, I remember... you said you wanted to quit smoking."
The familiar voice frightened him and he shivered. The still warm cigarette ash fell on his hand, burning him so much that he cried out in pain. He hurriedly slapped it off and took a deep puff from the cigarette holder.
Cologne's eyelids jumped. Considering that there were many people in the hall, he finally took into account his commander's face and did not step forward to clean up. He just said coldly:
"Commander Chen has arrived. He has called a car and is waiting for everyone outside."
Commander Zheng nodded. "Oh, okay. Next time, knock on the door before you come in. It would be bad if you scare Miss Yin."
The young woman took out her cell phone and looked at it for a few seconds, then took off her glasses and wiped them carefully without answering the call.
Cologne glared at him, and decided in his mind that this guy must sleep on the floor that night. Then he became serious again, took out the air freshener and sprayed it into the air.
Old Zhao stood up, patted his clothes, and walked around the area where the spray was thicker. After making sure that there was no smell of smoke on his body, he waved to Gu Feng who was looking at him eagerly outside the door.
The Sakura destroyer Gu Feng trotted in and threw herself into Lao Zhao's arms, "Commander, it's so hot outside, and there are bugs chirping, it's so noisy."
"Haha, that's a cicada." Old Zhao's slightly harsh expression had long since disappeared, leaving only kindness. "It means summer isn't over yet. Is it hot? Do you want me to buy you an ice cream?"
"Eh? Is that okay? But I've already eaten today's portion this morning..."
"It's okay. I'll give you a reward for waiting so long. You can have one more box today."
"Wow...thank you Commander~"
