National development: I build a base on the rock beast

Just when Duan Ming thought that the old man was deliberately causing trouble because of his previous confrontation, the old man slowly revealed the reason.

"This optical simulation device has been ordered by others in advance, and I only have one in my store now. I have collected the deposit. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you, but the money for the breach of contract cannot be paid. Shall I go out?”

It turns out that there is such a reason, Duan Ming misunderstood it from the beginning!

The old man had already given them a weapon manufacturing blueprint. The price of this optical simulation device was acceptable to Duan Ming.

While swiping his card, Duan Ming asked inadvertently: "The person who ordered this optical simulation device must not be an ordinary person, right?"

The old man smiled and replied: "Isn't this the kid from the Cheng family who is getting married? All the major families in the nearby star domain have also come here. This optical simulation device is a congratulatory gift bought by the Han family in the seventh domain. "

Duan Ming's arm holding the black gold card trembled, and he asked again after a moment.

"Do you know who the young master of the Duan family married?"

The old man obviously knew a lot about this Nicostar Port and said with a smile: "That girl from the Tang family! I even hugged her when she was a child!"

"Then where is she now? Do you know?"

Duan Ming was a little excited, how could the old man not see it?

"Do you know that girl from the Tang family?"

After calming down his emotions, Duan Ming replied: "I recognize him, but I'm not familiar with him."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Duan Ming's mask for a long time, as if he wanted to see through Duan Ming through the mask.

"Alas! Speaking of which, it's the girl who suffered. Who made the Tang family suffer? As a member of the family, even life belongs to the family, not to mention the marriage?"

The old man's somewhat profound words were as if he was listening to Duan Ming's words.

Because the optical simulation device was too large, it was impossible for Duan Ming and the others to carry it away by manpower, so they filled in the coordinates of the area where the ice crystal beast was located and transported it using a transport spacecraft.

"Are you from the seventh domain? Are you also attending the wedding? If you want to attend the wedding, you must have an invitation letter from the Cheng family before you can enter. I have two extra invitation letters..."

Duan Ming was startled and blurted out almost subconsciously: "I'll buy it!"

The corners of the old man's mouth raised slightly.

"For the sake of the two ideas this girl just gave me, I'll give them to you!"

After saying that, the old man took out two folded invitations from his pocket and handed them to Duan Ming.

After receiving the invitation, Duan Ming bowed deeply to the old man.

"Thank you!"

The old man sat back in his seat, continued to study his drawings with his head lowered, and said nothing more.

After leaving the shop, Jiang Yao said: "Boss, why does the old man seem to know our identities? He also gave us two invitations. Could it be a trap?"

Duan Ming stared at the invitation in his hand.

"Wouldn't we know if it's a trap or not in five days?"

Yes, even if it was a trap, how could Duan Ming not jump in for Tang Yaqing's sake?

…

Five days passed quickly, and the wedding of the young master of the Cheng family arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, martial law was imposed on the entire core area of ​​Nicoxing Port. Starting from the street a thousand meters away, no one without an invitation could get even half a step closer.

The soldiers at the star port were armed with weapons and were responsible for checking the invitations of the guests and registering them.

Although there were only two invitation letters, Jiang Yao's father, as a catering giant in Xingang, also received an invitation, but Duan Ming did not choose to go to the wedding venue with Jiang Yao and his son.

Duan Ming didn't know what would happen at the wedding and what choices he would make. If something big happened, he didn't want Jiang Yao's father to be involved.

When Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu arrived at the checkpoint, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"Please show your invitation letter!"

The soldier's tone was cold, like a machine without any emotion.

Duan Ming and Duan Ming handed over the invitation letter. The soldier took it and scanned it with an instrument. The next moment, the soldier was startled and looked up at Duan Ming and Duan Ming.

"Are you from the Earth Star Research Institute?"

Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu were both stunned. Fortunately, Duan Ming responded quickly enough: "Yes, we are here on behalf of the Earth Star Research Institute."

After looking Duan Ming and Duan Ming up and down again, the soldier returned the invitation letter to Duan Ming, opened the roadblock, and let the two men in.

Entering the core area, you can only occasionally see wedding guests on the streets here, but ordinary people can't see any.

"Yo! You came early enough!"

A voice sounded not far away, and the two short-lived people turned their heads and saw that it was the old man who had been in Dugu's shop five days ago.

"Old man, are you from the Earth and Star Research Institute?"

Duan Ming asked his question directly, and the old man smiled and replied: "What? I don't look like him?"

The three of them walked all the way to the headquarters of the Cheng family, and encountered several more inspections on the way. This shows that the Cheng family attaches great importance to whether today's wedding can go smoothly.

"Old man, why do you want to help us?"

Duan Ming asked this before arriving at the Cheng family headquarters.

The old man paused and said thoughtfully: "If I don't help my own family, why should I help outsiders?"

Duan Ming was really confused by this sentence, but the old man's next words in a low voice made Duan Ming enlightened.

"I didn't expect that you, the boy, survived being hit by dark matter. When this matter is settled, find an opportunity to come to the Earth Star Research Institute to find me. As a non-staff researcher, it's time for you to do something for the institute. ”

After that, the old man straightened his clothes and walked towards the Cheng family headquarters.

"He, he recognized you?"

Bai Xianglu was no less shocked than Duan Ming.

Now that they are all here, and what the old man said just now, it was obvious that he was helping him, Duan Ming did not inquire further. He has already come, can he still turn around and leave?

"Mr. 2! You are here!"

In front of the Cheng family headquarters, several direct descendants of the Cheng family were responsible for welcoming guests, and they called the old man Mr. Er.

"It's a great event for the Cheng family, how can I, the Dugu family, not come to join in the fun?"

Hearing the old man's words, people present who did not recognize the old man's identity looked at the old man one after another, including Duan Ming.

It turns out that this old man is one of the four professors of the Dugu family at the Earth Star Research Institute, Dugu Er, the second oldest.

"Please come inside. The master of the house is on the third floor. I will take you there."

Because of Dugu Er's appearance, Duan Ming and his two men received almost no attention when they entered the six-story building of the Cheng family headquarters.

Coming to the first floor, here is the welcoming area, where drinks and desserts can be seen everywhere, and various big shots are chatting with each other.

Bai Xianglu asked Duan Ming in a low voice: "What should we do next?"
