Pinnacle Armor

The last sentence is actually the reason why Fang He decided to buy all the designs arbitrarily - if he can buy a disciple with excellent qualifications at a high price, then even if the price offered by the other party is higher, he can still accept it.The young man in front of him looks only in his twenties, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future. He really wants to see where the other party can go under his guidance.

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Seeing that Fang He's purpose was to recruit talents, the tall woman fell silent.On the other hand, Xin Xunyang waited for Lu Xingxi to reject him with an attitude of watching the show.As far as he knew, Gu Jing'an was the only teacher Lu Xingxi recognized, and it was impossible to take others as his teacher.

Seeing that Lu Xingxi didn't answer him right away, Fang He was not in a hurry, and continued: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Fang He. Since you are a technician, you should have heard of my name." He was quite self-effacing. In fact, he is one of the top three masters in the technician world. Even people who are not technicians should know his name as long as they pay a little attention to the news.

Naturally, Lu Xingxi had heard of this person's name, and he even remembered how this person challenged his teacher back then.

After revealing his identity, he still couldn't see the slightest excited expression on Lu Xingxi's face, Fang He felt a bit embarrassed to step down.At this moment, Lu Xingxi said slowly: "I'm not a mecha technician."

"what?"

"impossible!"

Both Fang He and the tall woman couldn't hide their surprise.

Xin Xunyang turned his head away silently, thinking that these people must have never thought of the possibility of practicing without a license.

Lu Xingxi said as he expected: "I haven't passed the technician qualification exam yet."

Fang He showed a look of being struck by lightning, "If you just don't want me as a teacher, you don't need to tell such a clumsy lie. Do you think it is common sense that people who can design these things have not passed the qualification exam for technicians? "

"Common sense is meant to be broken." Lu Xingxi said, smiling, "I have a reason why I can't pass the exam."

Hearing this, Xin Xunyang, who was already bored and began to look at the chandelier in the room, came back to his senses.It wasn't until this moment that he was sure that Lu Xingxi chose the Fenghuo Consortium as a partner, not only out of consideration for the security of the transaction, but also because of a deeper plan.Just, why didn't you tell yourself beforehand?

Under the table, Lu Xingxi shook Xin Xunyang's hand, as if to say "trust me".

Xin Xunyang closed his eyes, and then scratched the opponent's palm in return, in exchange for Lu Xingxi's helpless gaze.

The small actions of the two did not fall into the eyes of Fang He and the tall woman.In fact, what is circling in their minds at the moment is the question of "a person who can independently make mecha accessories, what is the reason why he cannot pass the technician qualification examination?"

Guessing that the appetite for teasing the other party was almost enough, Lu Xingxi asked with a smile: "Are you interested in knowing what my difficulties are?"

Fang He's gaze sank, he knew that the initiative had all fallen into Lu Xingxi's hands so far, but he could only let the situation develop like this, unless he was going to take back what he had just said before.

Sighing, Fang He found a seat for himself and sat down, waved his hands and said, "Tell me, let me see if I can help you solve it."

"Can this lady leave temporarily?" Lu Xingxi turned his gaze to the tall woman.

Under Fang He's signal, the woman nodded, exited the room, and closed the door for them.

"Now you can speak."

Lu Xingxi shook his head, "The monitoring equipment is still not turned off."

When Fang He heard this, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly controlled his reaction and said nonchalantly, "There is no monitoring equipment in this room, so it is meaningless for you to test our sincerity like this."

"You are testing me, right..." Lu Xingxi smiled, turned his head to whisper something to Xin Xunyang, and then looked at Fang He again, "Now, let's see who is lying."

Under Fang He's restless gaze, Xin Xunyang stood up, accurately found out all the hidden monitors in the room, and destroyed them one by one.

When the matter developed to this point, Fang He finally thought of the possibility that these two young men were actually sent by his competitors to deal with him. He moved his right hand quietly, and when he was about to press the alarm button on the terminal, Xin Xunyang took it away first. He opened the terminal, and the other party even politely said to him, "I offend you first."

Fang He said angrily: "Who the hell sent you?!"

"Calm down, we don't mean anything malicious, we just need to make sure of our own safety before confessing." From the beginning to the end, Lu Xingxi's attitude has not changed, even when he dropped the bomb, it was still like chatting.He looked at Fang He who was pushed back to his seat by Xin Xunyang and said, "After all, we are wanted criminals... Are you sure you can help us solve our problems now?"

Xin Xunyang felt that the old man who was held down by him had been directly petrified because of too much stimulation.In the words of the technicians, it is that the processing speed of the brain cannot keep up with the speed of information intake, so there is a short-term interruption of thinking.

Lu Xingxi patiently waited for the other party to recover.

After a long time, when Xin Xunyang suspected that people outside would rush in with suspicion, Fang He finally moved, and said slowly, "What are you wanted for?"

Fang He heaved a sigh of relief after learning that Xin and Lu's charges were only for such a "trivial matter" as destroying the universe port.

"I can fix that," he said firmly.

After Gu Jingan's death, Fang He's status, who was as famous as him, soared a lot.It is not difficult for Xin Xunyang and Lu Xingxi to smooth over the destruction of Chenxing Universe Port by him.Even if there is Xin Guoli contributing to the flames, Fang He is not afraid.

Xin Xunyang did not expect this person to be so straightforward.But in the next second, what Fang He said made him withdraw his previous evaluation that he thought the other party was refreshing.

Fang He said: "But let me plead for you, you have to give me some practical benefits, right? You haven't said whether you want to be my disciple yet."

This time Lu Xingxi did not evade the other party's question, but said directly: "I once had a teacher, and after he passed away, I decided that I would never take anyone other than him as my teacher in this life. However, I can join your research So, if you still feel that you need my ability."

Hearing this, Fang He felt conflicted.

On the one hand, he felt that he had compromised to such an extent that this kid still stubbornly said that it would be too embarrassing for him not to be a teacher; on the other hand, he admired Lu Xingxi's attitude of not recognizing a second teacher.

After a long battle between heaven and man in his heart, Fang He said reluctantly: "Seeing that you are really capable, I will reluctantly allow you to join my research institute. I will stay here for about a week. , and then return to Mizusawa, when the time comes, you can come with me!"

"no!"

"Do not."

Xin Xunyang and Lu Xingxi expressed their rejection one after the other.

Fang He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you want to raise any more conditions? Tell you, human patience has a limit..."

Lu Xingxi interrupted: "It's not that there are additional conditions, it's just that I have other things to do, and I won't be able to go to Shuize until eight months later."

"Eight months? This time is too long. It is almost enough for a woman to have a child. What else do you have to do?" In Fang He's view, the most important thing for a mecha technician is to hurry up Research at every opportunity.Depending on the answer of the other party, he will start to consider whether the things he promised before are still worth fulfilling.

Lu Xingxi's answer was so short that Fang He felt the urge to vomit blood.

"It's a private matter," he said.

This answer is really the essential oil to deal with all gossip. Anyway, I told you that it is a private matter, and the so-called private matter is not convenient to disclose. Do you still want to know?Then guess for yourself!

Fang He felt that he was going to have a heart attack because of this polite, yet extremely arrogant boy.

"Do you think my research institute is the kind of haunted house built in the wilderness, where you can go as long as you want? I won't keep a room for you for such a long time!"

"Then I'll pay the rent." Lu Xingxi responded, "The rent will be covered by the design drawings you are going to pay me."

"..." After realizing that the young man in front of him was not the kind of person to discuss common sense with, Fang He took a few deep breaths, and finally resisted the urge to roar, "Since you have said that, how about this topic?" So far, let's talk about the price." Anyway, the apprentice couldn't accept it, so he decided to find some comfort for himself on the price issue.

Fang He was eager to try, while Lu Xingxi calmly showed a slight smile.

******

More than an hour later, when the tall woman Kelly couldn't help rushing in with the guards to check the situation, the door of this room finally opened slowly from the inside.

"...Thank you for your care, I will visit Mizusawa as promised."

Kelly heard the young man who called himself Andy say this to the master who was still sitting in the room.Then came the spirited roar of the master——

"Get out! Wait, what's your name? You asked me to cancel the arrest warrant for you, but you didn't even say your name?!"

Wanted?

Kelly was taken aback by this keyword.When she came back to her senses, she only heard the gentle-looking young man answer in a young voice: "Lu Xingxi."

Kelly didn't know what kind of negotiations those two young men had with Mr. Fang in this room that day.All she knew was that after the two uninvited guests had completed the transfer procedures and left for a long time, Mr. Fang, who was silent for a long time, said with some emotion, "Maybe this is fate."

And when she asked Elder Fang what the so-called "fate" meant, she only got a meaningful wry smile from the other party.

"Does that old man know who 'Lu Xingxi' is?" Coming out of the building of the Fenghuo Consortium, Xin Xunyang asked after making sure no one was following him.

Lu Xingxi nodded.

As Gu Jingan's old rival for many years, Fang He knew each other even better than most people in each other's research institutes.Therefore, Fang He knew of course that Gu Jingan once took in a closed disciple named "Lu Xingxi", and they had met several times before.

"Are you afraid that he will guess the truth?" Xin Xunyang asked again.

"He can't guess, because it's unscientific." Lu Xingxi blinked, showing a rare mischievous expression.

Xin Xunyang laughed.

The two took a quiet walk for a while along the shade of the sidewalk.

When he was about to walk back to the universe port, Xin Xunyang said: "Just now I was really afraid that you would be kidnapped by that old man, so I directly agreed to go to Shuize with him right away." Before he was with Lu Xingxi, he had never doubted himself so much. attraction.

"I won't." Lu Xingxi smiled, "Didn't you say that these eight months will be our honeymoon trip?"

This was a joke that Xin Xunyang casually said when the two were rubbing each other's ears, but he didn't expect that Lu Xingxi would remember it seriously.

Not wanting to admit frankly that he was in a good mood because of Lu Xingxi's words, Xin Xunyang coughed, and changed the subject: "Actually, once the deadline is over, our arrest warrant will naturally be cancelled, and you don't need to discuss this condition with him at all. Anyway, the technicians at Mizusawa don't care about who is a wanted criminal at all."

"Well, but in places other than Shuize, there are many people who want to earn a bonus by catching wanted criminals." Lu Xingxi said casually.

Xin Xunyang instantly understood the real reason why the other party spent so much trouble today.

Taking Lu Xingxi's hand and interlocking his fingers, Xin Xunyang said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't let you suddenly hear a piece of news saying that I was arrested by a certain person in a certain place to exchange a bonus."

"I'm very relieved. Mr. Fang always keeps his word. Our arrest warrant should be lifted tomorrow at the latest."

"...Honey, you really don't have any romantic cells."

"You choose it yourself."

……

After spending the remaining seven months together in a completely relaxed vacation mood, on August [-]th, Xin Xunyang and Lu Xingxi said goodbye to Lu Xingxi at the universe port of Shuize Planet.
