Chapter 61 Strength Exposed
◎Su Qing: "Wait for me on the bed." ◎
New messages came in too frequently, and Mu Chen didn't notice them for a while.
The mecha masters who were still gathered in front of the virtual light screen in the hall raised their eyes and saw the level record update.
"The best record of the level mode has been updated. The person who passed the level: Mu Chen, the level score: tie, the level duration: nine minutes and fifteen seconds."
"...Hey." Someone bumped his friend's shoulder and asked him to look up.
"The anonymous mode is turned off? Mu Chen? Which legion? Let me see... Former military school student, authorized to enter the system by the current commander of the first legion, Su Qingshu..."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other.
"When you connect it with Major General Su Qing, does this name sound familiar?"
"Isn't it that? That... what was his original name Shen, the one from the Shen family..."
"That's him! Major General Su Qing's partner! Damn, how could that be possible?!"
"I said that someone who could operate the Qatar artillery alone wouldn't be such a loser! But how come his grades were so bad before... Hey, Les, aren't you and him classmates? Tell me about it!... Tell me about it!"
In addition to the mecha divisions in the virtual hall, the commanders of all the major corps also noticed the level information update. For a while, despite being in different locations, there was silence in the offices of the commanders of all the corps.
"... Commander?" The adjutant of the commander of the second corps turned to the side and saw that his commander frowned, tapping the table with his fingers, with a deep look on his face.
The second corps has always been a neutral faction that does not touch either side. This is to pull someone in, but it can't figure out how to help Mu Chen and the Reard family get away from it and let him clear his relationship with Su Qing.
Adjutant: "..."
"Are you overthinking?" He knew his superior's character, "You haven't fooled anyone yet, don't just think about those things that don't exist in the future."
A few star fields away, the commander of the Third Army was excited and said to his adjutant: "Go quickly and find a way to contact Mu Chen. I heard that he was forced to marry Su Qing, right? Hurry up and get him to divorce and clear up the relationship! Our Third Army is not afraid. As long as he comes here, I will definitely be able to save him from the Reard family!"
In the capital star a few star fields away, the commander of the Sixth Army, which belongs to the Reard family, sat at his desk. When he saw Mu Chen's name, his face changed suddenly.
He didn't delay for a minute and called the head of the Reard family.
"Mr. Hoffman." The commander of the Sixth Army was wearing a straight uniform and looked at the head of the Reard family opposite him with a serious expression. "I have something important to report to you."
"..."
Hoffman. Reard held the person in his arms and listened to the report of the commander of the Sixth Army. The expression on his face changed from the impatience of being interrupted at the beginning to a carelessness with a deeper meaning. He hung up the call, smiled, and said in a cold voice, "Great."
"What do you think of the Shen family, huh? Give such a person to Su Qing?" He tilted his head slightly and asked the beauty who was clinging to him, his expression showing the calmness before the storm.
Many people are afraid of Hoffman. Reard's appearance at this time is afraid of his mood swings, and Shen Shurong is also afraid.
He looked terrified and was about to stand up and admit his mistake, but Hoffman pressed on his waist.
Shen Shurong couldn't help but groan.
He felt Hoffman's fingers rubbing back and forth on his carotid artery, as if he was intimate, but also as if he was going to strangle his neck in the next second.
"I... I didn't expect that illegitimate child to be so scheming..." Shen Shurong endured Hoffman's actions and said intermittently, "I wanted to use him to disgust Su Qing. You know, I have been forced to please Su Qing since I was a child, no matter how much I hate him..."
"What a poor little thing." Hoffman said with a smile.
Shen Shurong is good-looking, which is just what Hoffman likes. He is very interested in this toy now and gives it some preference.
"But there will always be punishment for making mistakes." He picked up Shen Shurong, "Tonight... just play with me." Hoffman
threw Shen Shurong on the bed in the small dark room, stood in front of the bed, and pressed the communicator.
"Take Night Owl No. 3." He said slowly, "Tell him not to hide behind and be the mastermind. Get rid of both of them."
He licked the corner of his mouth, and just in case, he issued another order, "Take the old man from Elplan Star out of the torture chamber."
"Tell him that if he accepts one of my conditions, I will consider releasing his family."
"So Brother Chen's identity is exposed?" Yuan Fei asked as he sat next to Pei Lu, "Does the entire virtual star network know about it?"
"I saw that Major General Su Qing's face turned black on the spot." Pei Lu said while checking the mental power spectrum, "Your brother Chen coaxed him for a long time."
"How did he coax him?" Yuan Fei was extremely curious.
Pei Lu thought about it.
Mu Chen explained at first that there were too many messages and he accidentally clicked the wrong one. He admitted his mistake and said that he was capable enough and nothing would happen. After talking for a while and seeing no effect, he finally used his ultimate move:
"Besides, if things don't work out, you're still here to protect me?" The young man said with a smile, "Major General Su Qing? Commander of the corps? When the critical moment comes, can't you protect me in front of the Reard family?"
This sentence doesn't make sense in the current context. Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and met Mu Chen's gaze, but realized that the other party was not just talking for show. The
young man finally remembered what he said to Mu Chen after the Institute of Biological Sciences.
Su Qing still frowned and looked cold, but his expression eased slightly.
He didn't want Mu Chen to be exposed to the Reard family's guns too early, but he didn't think he was powerless and couldn't protect Mu Chen. He didn't like to take unnecessary risks, but he didn't feel afraid of the Reard family.
Pei Lu recalled Su Qing's reaction at the time and couldn't help but sigh in his heart again: men. A creature that feels happy when hearing the recognition of their partner.
He shook his head, said a few words to Yuan Fei, and then turned around to continue checking the results of the instrument.
Pei Lu didn't like to be disturbed when he was working, but Yuan Fei was an exception.
He was three years older than Yuan Fei, and the two grew up together. When Pei Lu really reached the critical step, Yuan Fei would stop talking and just sit beside him quietly to accompany him.
For example, now.
Xiao Lu was holding a piece of purple crystal in his hand, and was scanning the inside inch by inch with an extremely complex instrument. His movements became slower and slower, back and forth, confirming that his observations were correct. Half an hour later, he finally came to the conclusion, and a look of great surprise appeared on his face.
"The mental power of these two people can really resonate in a 'vacuum' environment without energy interference...!"
This discovery undoubtedly confirmed that his two-man mecha concept was possible!
Although in the real environment, facing various scenarios and energy interference, the resonance of mental power is tens of millions of times more difficult than in a "vacuum" environment, but in a "vacuum". Resonance is an indispensable cornerstone.
After Mu Chen finally exited the virtual training system today, Pei Lu originally wanted to collect samples of Mu Chen and Su Qing's mental power on the spot, extract mental power, and conduct follow-up observations.
His original plan was to put the two mental waves into a crystal with only each other's environment "vacuum", and observe the state of the mental waves after six months. If there is no resonance, he will give up the idea of a two-person mecha.
Considering that he didn't want to make a promise to Mu Chen that was an empty promise, Pei Lu spoke vaguely. Mu Chen had no idea of a two-man mecha in his mind, and only thought that he simply needed to collect samples to develop a mecha. But Su Qing understood.
He sent Pei Lu a purple crystal at night, which had already collected his and Mu Chen's spiritual power.
The two spiritual powers had already coexisted in the crystal for several months, greatly reducing Pei Lu's experimental time. Pei Lu couldn't wait to take it to the laboratory for inspection.
The result really surprised him!
The probability of any two people having spiritual power resonance is less than 0.001%, and the probability of people who can attract each other having spiritual power resonance is ten times higher. Despite this, the probability number is still pitifully small.
Pei Lu: These two people are really a perfect match!
Yuan Fei sat next to him for a long time, and seeing Pei Lu staring at the instrument in a daze, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and moved closer to Pei Lu, "Little Green——!"
Pei Lu looked up at him.
"I really can't go to the First Legion with you?" Yuan Fei stretched out his voice and hugged Pei Lu's waist like a koala.
He had never been so far away from Pei Lu in his life.
Pei Lu: "..."
He paused for a moment, then immediately turned off the experimental equipment, no longer multitasking, and instantly forgot about Mu Chen and Su Qing, then picked up Yuan Fei and let him sit on his lap.
Pei Lu ruffled Yuan Fei's hair like he was ruffling a stuffed animal, causing the other party to stare at him, and the sadness on his face disappeared for a while.
"You should focus on graduation first." Pei Lu ruffled Yuan Fei's hair into a mess, and laughed at his hairstyle, "Don't you want to be a big reporter to help me overturn the case?"
Yuan Fei pulled her hair and said unhappily, "I can go to the First Corps with you first, and come back after the New Year when school starts! Then the semester is three months, and I will come to see you during the holidays."
"Now the First Corps is not in the war zone, and I have family status, so I can go!"
Pei Lu ruffled his hair again.
"I want you to come too." He said.
But the current situation is too chaotic.
He didn't doubt that Leman would turn to the Reard family. Because he had to build a mental mecha for Mu Chen and Su Qing, Pei Lu had a close connection with the core of the First Legion and knew more or less what Su Qing meant.
He wanted to temporarily divert the attention of the Reard family from the First Legion. Even if he was facing a more dangerous situation, he had to retain the strength of the First Legion to the greatest extent.
Waiting for the right time.
But it was not appropriate to talk to Yuan Fei about this. It would only make Xiao Hong worry.
"Come and see me after you graduate." Pei Lu changed his excuse. "There is only one year left. You are going to intern at a newspaper outside next semester, right? Take a good rest before school starts, don't run around, and you will be tired during the internship. Don't get sick again. Besides, if you run into Zhou Paopi, where will you get a vacation? You may have to go there for an internship during the vacation."
Yuan Fei: "..."
"Why don't you think of me!" Yuan Fei said angrily, "If I run into Zhou Paopi, I will expose him for violating the labor law!"
Pei Lu smiled.
"Okay, you expose him! Reporter Xiao Hong is the best."
Just as the two were talking, the news reminder set on Yuan Fei's communicator sounded.
As a student of the journalism department, he set the Capital News Station broadcast as a top-of-mind reminder to keep up with current events. Yuan Fei opened the news broadcast and saw a line of large headlines at first glance.
"Breaking news! The military court issued a final verdict today after overnight discussion! Major General Su Qing was ordered by the military to resign as the commander of the First Corps! dj' expand' read more..."
Su Qing closed the verdict notice.
His expression was calm, and he had expected the result. Mu Chen came up from the underground training room and saw Su Qing sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The major general turned his eyes to the stairs, obviously waiting for him.
Mu Chen: "..."
Oops, I got caught for secretly training.
Su Qing also has a set of simulated mecha training system in his training room. It is not a general version of the military, but a privately designed training system that was previously used only by Su Qing.
Now there is another Mu Chen.
Because of his hand injury, Mu Chen's daily training time is strictly controlled. He had a fight during the day today. Although it was less than ten minutes, the high-intensity operation of those ten minutes put a lot of pressure on his hands. It stands to reason that the training time should be shortened.
But Mu Chen was still not satisfied with the fighting during the day, so he trained for two more hours at night.
Mu Chen felt guilty, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he took the initiative: "Why haven't you gone to rest yet?!"
The clock pointed to twelve o'clock.
"Zhong Lan said that as a patient, you should rest before ten o'clock and ensure ten hours of adequate sleep." Mu Chen sat down next to Su Qing, looked at his expression, and said worriedly, "Is your head hurting again?"
Su Qing didn't let him blur the point, raised his eyes and said accurately: "How long did you train for?"
Mu Chen hummed, crossed his index finger and middle finger, and tried: "Ten minutes?"
Su Qing remained calm.
Mu Chen: "..."
"Did you sleep just now?" Mu Chen asked in return, "When did you wake up with a headache?"
Su Qing almost laughed at him.
The little fox didn't tell the truth, but wanted to get information in reverse.
"I can see the data records of the training system." Su Qing said coldly, pulling out the light screen, "You trained for two more hours without permission."
Mu Chen: I am so stupid! How could he not see his training time in Su Qing's training system!
... Knowing it, why do you come to ask him? !
Mu Chen was speechless and had to admit his mistake.
"But my hand doesn't hurt." He did not forget to explain, "If my hand hurt, if it was uncomfortable, I would definitely stop."
"It's too late if it's uncomfortable." Su Qing's face sank.
"Did you do the hand massage yourself?"
Mu Chen: "..."
Su Qing's face became even darker and he stopped talking.
The robot next to him was running, making a humming sound, and took out two suits of Su Qing and Mu Chen from the closet and began to iron them.
Mu Chen coughed dryly, breaking the silence in the room, half changing the subject, and half sincerely wondering: "Why are you ironing these things again?"
"New Year's dinner." Su Qing said concisely.
Every year on the day before the New Year, the Council will hold a dinner at the Graystone Palace, the most central building on the capital star, and invite important personnel from various departments to attend. Because the commanders of the twelve legions cannot leave the legion's base or defense zone at the same time, two legion commanders will represent the twelve people to attend the banquet every year.
Su Qing was one of the representatives in the past two years. This year he was seriously injured and unconscious, and later he was sued. The court ruling was announced at this time, which was also a signal to Director Huo Wen, meaning that he should not invite Su Qing anymore.
But the Director thought about it and looked at the names of the legion commanders to be invited. One was the head of the Sixth Legion belonging to the Reard faction, and the other was the head of the Twelfth Legion under von Parker. His superb intuition told him that he could not invite only these two people.
Su Qing happened to be in the capital star, and had a high reputation on the star network. Director Huo Wen simply invited Su Qing to attend in his personal name, which was somewhat meant to appease Su Qing, and also to appease those voices on the star network who thought that Su Qing's merits outweighed his faults and that the punishment was too heavy.
The meaning of this invitation was very simple: although the military court found Su Qing guilty, the director still acknowledged Su Qing's great contribution to the federation!
As Su Qing's partner, Mu Chen must also attend.
Mu Chen looked surprised: "There is such a thing?"
He pulled the light screen in front of Su Qing, first glanced at the time of the dinner, then looked at the military's verdict, and the approval letter for the treatment plan attached to it.
"Attend the banquet in three days, and leave for Bryce Sky City the next day." Mu Chen said, "So you are going to Bryce Sky City to celebrate the New Year." Su Qing
hummed and turned off the light screen: "How many days have you not done it?"
Mu Chen: The major general really couldn't let him change the subject so easily.
"... Just, just these two days."
"I didn't train much in the past few days." Mu Chen explained.
He went to the Space Biology Research Institute the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday he went to the cemetery and satellite city to follow the news. After coming back, he slept day and night, and only did some basic training yesterday. With such intensity, there is no need for hand massage!
Mu Chen explained confidently, and what he said was not unreasonable.
But Su Qing knew that if he hadn't asked, Mu Chen might have been lazy and sneaked away tonight. Especially after training, he was the most tired both mentally and physically. Compared with massage, he wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
He pursed his lips, stood up with a cold face, and motioned Mu Chen to go upstairs with him.
"I'll help you."
Mu Chen: "..."
"...I can do it myself." He followed Su Qing and said quickly, "It's late at night, how can you keep the patient from sleeping."
"It won't take long." Su Qing looked at him, "In case you just talk but don't do it."
Mu Chen helplessly said: "I'm not such a dishonest person. I always do what I say."
Although he did plan to make up for it tomorrow morning, since the major general said so, he would definitely obey.
Su Qing hummed, without refutation, but also without changing his original decision.
He glanced at Mu Chen and wanted to go back to his bathroom to wash his hands first, so he stood in the corridor, leaning against the door frame and said to Mu Chen: "Wait for me in bed."
The author has something to say:
The massage is late but it's here! This is a stupid author who is obsessed with massage...orz
I made another summary today. Fraud. Cheating. Committing! Kneeling! (Because I don't understand what the blocked words are, I just add some more spacing symbols! Looking up at the sky)
