Pinnacle Armor

The day's meeting ended up not going on.

After the butler said that, Xin Guoli walked out of the living room quickly without saying a word.Since he couldn't say goodbye to him in time, Lu Xingxi, who came back to his senses, had to stay in the Xin family's mansion temporarily.

Hank later appeared in front of Xin and Lu, "Just now I have contacted the team leader William, and he agreed that Mr. Lu will stay here tonight."

"I have no plan to stay overnight." Lu Xingxi said.

But Hank took out his deafness and continued to say at his own pace: "Now, please allow me to introduce you to the location of the guest room."

"..." Lu Xingxi suddenly understood how Xin Xunyang's self-contained speaking habits came about when they first met.

People from the Xin family obviously don't have the virtue of listening carefully to what others have to say.

If it was normal, he wouldn't mind Hank's rude attitude.But at this moment, Lu Xingxi's whole mind was focused on Gu Lao who was in an unknown situation. This matter drained all his patience—what's wrong with him, teacher?Wasn't he supposed to be on the planet Shuizawa? Why did he appear on Chenxing?He is already very old, could it be that there is something wrong with his body?

Countless questions swirled in Lu Xingxi's mind, and just as he was about to ignore Hank and leave on his own, Xin Xunyang suddenly reached out and hooked his shoulder, and said a word.

Xin Xunyang said: "This is the place where you can get news the fastest."

So Lu Xingxi stayed.

Taking Hanke away, he personally took Lu Xingxi to the guest room adjacent to his own. Xin Xunyang pulled him into the room, and while closing the door, he said slowly: "If you don't want to answer, I will not ask any questions as before. .But you have to understand, I'd love to know."

Lu Xingxi understood what Xin Xunyang was saying - his reaction just now was too abnormal.

Perhaps Xin Xunyang's usual impression is that he doesn't like to think about nerve-wracking things, and likes to use simple and direct violence to solve everything, but Lu Xingxi knows that his thoughts are far more meticulous than what he shows.The evidence is the sentence he kept from him earlier - Xin Xunyang could never have guessed the relationship between Lu Xingxi and Gu Jingan, but he could see that Lu Xingxi's concern about this matter was not out of curiosity.

This probably has the influence of his keen intuition, but more should be his reasoning based on his own understanding of Lu Xingxi.

Lu Xingxi didn't know what to say to Xin Xunyang.

If he keeps silent, Xin Xunyang will definitely be disappointed while feeling puzzled; but if he tells the truth... no, it's impossible, the truth is a secret that needs to be kept for a lifetime, not to mention that no one will believe it.

Lu Xingxi turned his head to avoid Xin Xunyang's gaze on him, "Master Gu is someone I admire very much." He said.

The room was dead silent.

Xin Xunyang knew that Lu Xingxi's answer was not the real answer.Maybe people will panic and feel sad when they hear that the object of their admiration has an accident, but the degree will never be the same as what Lu Xingxi showed before.

His eyes fell on Lu Xingxi's clothes that were wet with tea, "I'll find a change for you."

Both of them tacitly stopped mentioning the matter discussed earlier.

When Xin Xunyang came back with the replacement clothes, he also brought the latest news.

"It is said that when Master Gu came out of the research institute, the floating car he was riding in was attacked." Xin Xunyang said, staring at Lu Xingxi closely.

The other party kept calm this time.

"Attack? Why?" If the teacher was a member of the military, he would still understand that this kind of thing happened, but he is obviously just a neutral scholar.

"Maybe it's for the information on his latest invention." Xin Xunyang said, "Hank said that Master Gu came to Chenxing this time because he finally made a breakthrough in the subject he has studied for more than ten years."

Hearing this, Lu Xingxi revealed a thoughtful expression.

As Gu Jingan's closed disciple, he certainly knows what his teacher has been studying these years.In fact, in terms of breakthroughs, Master Gu's research was almost done during the period when he was seriously ill, but at that time it was impossible to predict what impact the announcement of this research would have on the current society, so he kept silent all the time.

This time there will be news revealed, is it because the teacher finally made up his mind to make it public?

"Is he seriously injured... Which hospital is he in now?" Lu Xingxi asked.

"It seems to be a broken right hand and a slight head injury. You can't see it in the Central Hospital now." Xin Xunyang said.

I didn't want to go to see a doctor.

Lu Xingxi wanted to tell the other party this, but he found that since he avoided Xin Xunyang's question just now, an invisible wall had been erected between the two of them.

He thought he could only wait for time to resolve this embarrassment.

The next day, "Xinghui Daily" published a report on Master Gu's attack. The report did not mention the reason for the attack, but the statement about the injury was consistent with what Xin Xunyang had heard.

When Lu Xingxi turned off the report, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After another two days, the wind-off time was over, and the team leader William called all the players of the delegation together to prepare for the final round of sprint training.

When Xin Xunyang went to the hotel to join the crowd, he looked no different from usual.

The training content of this day is how to replace the damaged parts for their partners as quickly as possible during the battle, and how to respond according to the needs of the actual situation, such as fighting in special environments such as jungle warfare, desert warfare, or water warfare. Flexible adjustment of equipment.

"...One more thing to note is that as technicians, you need to care more than your partner's mecha. When the knights are in a fierce battle and have no time to take care of others, you must share the burden of observing everything and collecting useful information for them. Responsibility." As an assistant, Jin Sen rarely said seriously.

Azalea was stunned when he heard the words, "Not only is it the job of the maintenance engineer, but we also want to grab the job of the scout..."

Jin Sen glanced at his position, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Two, 10 minutes to prepare! There are many teams who want to use the practice field, and we only have three hours to use it. Hurry up!" Team leader William said loudly.

After all, it is a specialized facility in the academy city of the academy, and the practice field of the Golden Rose Hotel is much more upscale than that of the Luhe branch's gray building.Not only the difference in size, the actual combat training grounds here are all set up in real scenes, instead of being simulated with holographic projections like in the branch school.

Lu Xingxi stood on the high wall of the practice field and looked down.

"Almost all common combat environments are collected." Xin Xunyang said.

"Hmm. Do you have any specific thoughts about the game in a while?" Lu Xingxi asked.

"Rush in, knock them all down, and then come out." Xin Xunyang said casually.

"..." Lu Xingxi realized that his previous thoughts seemed a little naive, and the conflict between them had obviously not been resolved, "What happened that day..."

Xin Xunyang suddenly interrupted: "Take care of the training in front of you first. Pay attention to the terrain where you are hiding for a while. I guess other people in this mock battle will also give priority to sending the opponent's partner technician out." The terrain below If it is too complicated, the role of technicians will be magnified.

Lu Xingxi looked at each other silently.

Finding that he couldn't harden his heart when he looked at him like this, Xin Xunyang sighed in surrender, "Anyway, even if you tell me now, it won't be the truth, right? It's better not to say it."

Lu Xingxi, who had indeed planned to lie, remained silent.

"Since becoming a partner, that day was probably the first time you lied to me. To be honest, I was very shocked." After Xin Xunyang said this, he escaped into the cockpit of the hurricane.

The mock battle started as scheduled. As Xin Xunyang had predicted, after observing the general terrain of the battle from above, the four knights all chose to deal with the opponent's technician first.At the same time, in order to increase their own winning rate, the four technicians also hid with their own special abilities.

The scene suddenly looked a bit like everyone playing peek-a-boo in mechas.

Half an hour later, Simon encountered Zeng Zhen in a swamp. The opponent took advantage of the light mech and pushed him into the swamp. When the rescue plane dragged his mech out, he looked extremely embarrassed.

At that time, Lu Xingxi was less than 500 meters away from the place where Simon and Zeng Zhen fought.

"Zeng Zhen went to the east, probably for the purpose of resupply. She spent a lot of energy in the battle just now." No matter whether Xin Xunyang responded or not, Lu Xingxi told the other party what he saw objectively according to the usual practice.

Fortunately, Xin Xunyang obviously didn't have the habit of making awkward fights, so he quickly replied: "Understood, I'll intercept her, you'd better change your position."

"It doesn't matter, I can roughly calculate the location of the others." Lu Xingxi said.

This kind of relationship mode where the other party sends reminders, and he listens and responds to the reminders, reminds Xin Xunyang of the battle with the pirates on the way to Chenxing.It is no exaggeration to say that the time when Lu Xingxi joined the support that day was the most enjoyable battle since he learned how to operate mechas.

Recalling the happy mood when he cooperated tacitly with the other party that day, Xin Xunyang temporarily put aside the problems that bothered him, and said casually: "I think it is much more comfortable for you to be the guide than artificial intelligence. Other technicians can do what you do." Calculation of degree?"

"A small amount." Lu Xingxi replied.

This is not because he is not humble, but after the use of mental power has been developed, today's technicians no longer pay attention to the cultivation of comprehensive ability, especially calculation ability, like their predecessors in ancient times.And the stronger the mental power of a technician, the more obvious this shortcoming will be.

"Actually, regarding the matter of assisting combat, after the battle that day was over, I once had a thought..."

Before he had time to say what his thought was, his brain suddenly sensed the danger intuitively.

Without looking back, Lu Xingxi dodged behind the thick tree trunk next to him. Immediately after he was squatting, someone shot an anesthesia bomb into it.
