Bursting After He Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder Omega

The Yun family specially sent a small spaceship to take Yun Xingze back.

When leaving the hotel, Yun Xingze met Luo Wenchuan at the door, who also seemed to be planning to go out.

Luo Wenchuan learned that Yun Xingze was going back to Emperor Capital Star, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do you need me to accompany you back?"

"No need," Yun Xingze waved his hand, "Take care of some minor matters, and I'll be back soon."

After all, Yun Xingze looked at Luo Wenchuan who was carrying the bag, and asked back, "What about you?"

"I'm also dealing with some small matters." Luo Wenchuan said lightly, "I'll pick you up after my matters are settled."

Yun Xingze twitched the corner of his lower lip: "Okay, it's just on the way."

Luo Wenchuan showed a shallow smile, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, Luo Wenchuan felt inexplicably uneasy.He looked at Yun Xingze's smiling face, but he was worried.

So, he said again: "Otherwise, I'd better go back with you. I'll deal with mine after your affairs are finished..."

"Thank you, Senior Okawa," Yun Xingze declined politely, "It's not a big deal, so I won't waste your time."

Luo Wenchuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he said slowly:

"Then, you pay attention to safety..."

He asked Mekar to send someone to secretly protect Yun Xingze, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Thinking of this, Luo Wenchuan suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart.

At this moment, Chi Yu suddenly appeared at the side, walked directly to the side of Yun Xingze, looked up at Luo Wenchuan, sneered and said: "Don't worry about it, Luo, you should take care of your own affairs. "

Speaking of this, Chi Yu mocked Luo Wenchuan again: "Why are you going back to the Imperial Capital Star? Isn't your home in the Desolate Star?"

However, Yun Xingze said directly to Chi Yu, "Can you shut up?"

He knew that when the two Yunchi families were negotiating, Chi Yu would definitely be involved, so he had to go with this annoying guy for the next two days.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingze felt bored.

Seeing Chi Yu being so arrogant, Luo Wenchuan could probably guess in his heart that Yun Xingze's trip was to go back to deal with the mess between the Yun family and the Chi family.

Therefore, Luo Wenchuan took the initiative to take a step forward, took Yun Xingze's hand, handed him something, and said to him: "You take this with you, in case some people have bad intentions."

Yun Xingze opened it in front of Chi Yu, and it turned out to be a box containing self-defense weapons, including a small light knife, a small-caliber particle gun...

"Very practical." Yun Xingze hooked the lower corner of his lips, his eyes swept over Chi Yu's unattractive face, "I will carry it with me."

After finishing speaking, Yun Xingze put the box into his backpack.

Only then did Luo Wenchuan feel a little relieved.

However, when he thought that he might not see Yun Xingze in the next few days, he felt a little disappointed.

"When we get back..." Luo Wenchuan looked down at Yun Xingze's eyes, pursed his lower lip, and said softly, "Let's play "Mecha Star" together."

Luo Wenchuan's long and narrow eyes were filled with restrained and deep emotions.

Every time Yun Xingze saw these eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and this time was no exception.

"Yeah." Yun Xingze raised the corners of his lips and nodded his head, "When we get back, let's prepare for the final together and win the championship."

The two completely ignored Chi Yu, which made Chi Yu very dissatisfied.

After Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan bid farewell, they headed to the spaceship site, while Chi Yu looked at Luo Wenchuan and sneered, "Luo Wenchuan, are you worthy of snatching Yun Xingze from me?"

Luo Wenchuan has always disdained to argue with Chi Yu.

But Chi Yu thought that this poor boy had low self-esteem, and continued: "There are too many Omegas who want to get engaged to me, and I only like Xingzhe. He will definitely be moved by me and become my future wife. And you..."

"Let's go back to Desolate Star."

After Chi Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Wenchuan with a bit of complacency, then turned and left.

At this moment, an unremarkable man walked up to Luo Wenchuan and whispered to him, "Second Highness, the imperial spaceship is ready, please set off immediately."

Luo Wenchuan looked at Chi Yu's back with no expression on his face, and gave a soft "hmm".

The two spaceships departed from Noah's star almost simultaneously and returned to the imperial capital.

Neither Luo Wenchuan nor Yun Xingze realized how much this trip would affect them in the future.

But they all made a decision quietly in their hearts.

That is, after the next meeting, they will tell each other what they think.

When Yun Xingze returned to Yun's house, it was already very late.

Yun's residence is located in the Pulis neighborhood known as the "rich circle", surrounded by villa-style residences.

In Imperial City, people who can live in this neighborhood are either rich or noble. The Yun family only moved here ten years ago, because their family did not have the wealth accumulation of their ancestors, and they have a bit of nouveau riche temperament, which is incompatible with this place.

This can be seen from the decoration of Yun's house.

There are majestic and luxurious furniture everywhere, for fear that others will not know that their family is rich.

However, Yun Changsheng likes this kind of decoration very much. He thinks that others calling him "upstart" are just jealous of him, and the best way to stop those people's mouths is to marry the Chi family.

The Chi family can not only help the Yun family gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital, but also give them all kinds of valuable information, killing two birds with one stone.

Yun Xingze and Chi Yu arrived at Yun's villa.

Along the way, Chi Yu kept thinking of ways to be courteous, but Yun Xingze ignored him.

Chi Yu was annoyed, but he held back, after all, they would hold an engagement banquet tomorrow, which was a promise Chi Yin had made to him.

After entering the door, there were many people sitting in the Yun family's living room.

In addition to Yun Changsheng, Qin Shuang, and Chi Yin, Chi Yu's mother Yu Wan, Yun Xingze's younger brother Yun Wu, and Qilin Group's President Liu and his daughter Liu Xiao.

A look of surprise flashed across Yun Xingze's eyes.

He did not expect that so many people would participate in this conversation.

Seeing the two came back, Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang enthusiastically pulled them to sit on the sofa.

Mr. Liu at the side glanced at Yun Xingze, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Qilin Jijia Group has developed better than Changsheng Group, and the Liu family has always been a wealthy family, so Mr. Liu has always looked down on the Yun family, but unexpectedly, General Chi Yin is willing to marry this family.

"Since you're back, let's get straight to the point." Mr. Liu looked at Chi Yin and said, "Our Liu family admires Chi Yu very much, and hopes that Liu Xiao can get engaged to Chi Yu. This is also the purpose of my coming here today."

Liu Xiao on the side sat quietly and obediently, she was still very satisfied with the handsome Chi Yu.

Qin Shuang originally didn't want the Liu family to come in, but Chi Yin obviously pulled these two people to put pressure on the Yun family.

After all, giving the Yun family a sense of crisis will make them agree to this marriage more quickly.

Chi Yin looked at Yun Xingze, and said slowly:

"Your Liu family has a vision. You know, the mecha unit I belong to cooperates more and more with the scientific research institute, and the information I get is more detailed than anyone else. Many people have been trying their best to find out about the Chi family's relationship. "

Yun Xingze sat on the sofa, but there was a long distance between him and Chi Yu and the others.

Hearing this, Yun Xingze responded to Chi Yin indifferently: "If that's the case, why did General Chi come to the Yun family? It's impossible for Chi Yu and I to get engaged."

Chi Yin's expression froze immediately, and Chi Yu was also a little embarrassed.

Chi Yu pretended to be very familiar with Yun Xingze, and said to him: "Xing Xing, we are just having a conflict. You have been angry for so long, and it is time to restrain your temper."

Yun Changsheng coughed, and looked at Yun Xingze with a frown: "Xingze, don't be so rude. Your Uncle Chi has helped our family a lot, and you must repay your kindness."

"It was you who helped, not me." Yun Xingze glanced sideways at Yun Changsheng, "You want to repay your kindness, why don't you marry him?"

Qin Shuang quickly interrupted him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yun Changsheng didn't expect that Yun Xingze would become so eloquent after not seeing him for a while, and he was no longer the son who was at his mercy.

Yun Wu sat aside, couldn't help laughing out loud, which caused Qin Shuang to give him a hard look.

"It seems that the Yun family's education for their son is not ideal." Chi Yin leaned back on the sofa, raised his legs, and said slowly, "That's right, an Omega who has never learned since he was a child, naturally doesn't know, How useful is the information I brought to the Yun family."

Yun Xingze said indifferently: "As for the information you brought, I personally think that it is the same as you - useless."

Chi Yin's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

Chi Yu's mother Yu Wan's face was a little uneasy: "Yun Xingze, if Chi Yu didn't like you, do you really think that our Chi family must have you? If you are not willing, give the opportunity to the Liu family!"

Mr. Liu smiled happily at the side: "Chi Yu, don't worry, our Liu Xiao is very obedient..."

He wished that Yun Xingze would not be willing to get married. In this way, Qilin Group would definitely surpass Changsheng Group.

Yun Changsheng couldn't sit still anymore, and said directly to Yun Xingze: "Are you confused? Even if you don't know the importance of mental power amplifiers, please understand that the Chi family has been helping the Yun family, and Chi Yu has been helping the Yun family. looking after you."

After Yun Xingze heard it, he looked at everyone coldly, and said slowly: "I am not a tool for marriage. I don't like Chi Yu, and if I don't like it, I can't get married. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Qin Shuang was slightly taken aback.

"I came back this time just to show my attitude." Yun Xingze said coldly, "I've finished what I want to say, excuse me."

After the words fell, Yun Xingze turned and left.

The Chi family thought that Yun Xingze might have a sense of crisis if they brought the Liu family into the competition, but they didn't expect him to give him any room for change.

"Chi Yu, are you sure you want to marry him?" Yu Wan said a little uncomfortably from the side, "Can't you see that he doesn't like you at all. There are too many Omega who want to marry you, why do you have to marry him?" Hanging on your body?"

Yun Changsheng hurriedly apologized to Yu Wan: "The child is not sensible, I will go and persuade him..."

"It seems that the Yun family is very dissatisfied with the Chi family." Mr. Liu stood up, showing a smug smile, "Then, General Chi, please consider marrying our Liu family."

Mr. Liu felt that Yun Xingze's head was filled with water, and even Alpha with such good conditions could not look down on him.

With the status of the Yun family, after leaving the Chi family, can Yun Xingze find a better fiancé?

After Mr. Liu went out, he sneered and mocked: "I really don't know what's good."

Chi Yu sat on the sofa, his fingers tightened.

He already knew that Yun Xingze didn't like him.

However, he has never been able to accept it.

After all, Yun Xingze used to be so kind to him, even though he and Su Zinan were ambiguous, Yun Xingze never said anything bad to him, and even helped him wash and clean his clothes every day.

Such a virtuous Omega has now become a legend in NCLM, how could Chi Yu be willing to give up on him?

"I hope you will think about it carefully," Yu Wan frowned and said, "You will not be happy with Yun Xingze."

Chi Yin sighed, he didn't expect that the negotiation would fail like this.

The reason why he chose to marry the Yun family was because the Yun family had little power in the imperial capital, and they could not only provide mechas, but more importantly, control them well.

Chi Yin looked up at his son and said to him, "If you repent now, you can still choose the Liu family."

Chi Yu swallowed.

He tightened his fingers and said slowly: "I just want to get engaged to Xingze."

Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Wu at the side was full of question marks: "Didn't my brother say that he doesn't like you..."

Qin Shuang directly picked up a piece of fruit to plug his mouth, and pushed him hard: "Go back to your room."

After Yun Wu was driven away, his heart was full of sympathy for Yun Xingze—why are these people's brain circuits so strange?

"Then get engaged to him." Chi Yin raised the corners of his lips, and turned to look at the Yun family, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. You can send invitations tonight, and the engagement banquet will be held tomorrow night."

Yun Changsheng was overjoyed and said, "So fast?!"

Qin Shuang was also very surprised: "Shouldn't we have to prepare for the engagement for a while? Besides, Xingze hasn't figured it out yet, so it will take a while to persuade..."

"What are you persuading?" Yun Changsheng interrupted Qin Shuang, "It's just marrying someone, and he won't suffer!"

Although Qin Shuang also hopes that Yun Xingze and Chi Yu will marry, and has been putting pressure on Yun Xingze to think about it.

But she didn't want the two to get engaged directly when Yun Xingze objected.

So, Qin Shuang pursed her lips, and continued: "I will persuade him, but since he disagrees, let's delay the engagement..."

"Before I asked you to take Yun Xingze's information and go to the matching bureau to re-bind him and Chi Yu's pheromones. This is the reason you said." Yun Changsheng frowned and looked at Qin Shuang, and said coldly, " Qin Shuang, have you forgotten who is in charge of this family?!"

Qin Shuang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Back then, her family wanted her to marry an unknown Alpha, but she strongly opposed it to no avail. Fortunately, Yun Changsheng, who was her friend at the time, rescued her, and she was deeply moved to marry Yun Changsheng. The Yun family gave everything.

Even if she is a strong woman, she is still willing to do a little low in front of Yun Changsheng, pretending to be worldly.

Although she can sacrifice herself for the benefit of the Yun family, and agrees that Yun Xingze's best destination is to marry Chi Yu, she doesn't want to see Yun Xingze being forced.

At this moment, she seemed to see herself back then.

Qin Shuang opened her mouth, she wanted to say a lot, but in the end she could only say under Yun Changsheng's fierce eyes: "I, I'll persuade him..."

Yun Changsheng showed an incomprehensible expression, and asked Qin Shuang suppressing his anger: "You're out of your mind? Didn't you always agree with their marriage? What else are you trying to persuade?! If you miss this village, there will be no such shop! "

"No need to persuade." Chi Yin stood up, raised the corners of his lips and looked at the two, "Tomorrow there will be a good news announcement, that is, the regulation of 'highly matched AO must be combined' in the Imperial Marriage Law will be implemented nationwide. carry out."

Qin Shuang and Yun Changsheng were stunned at the same time.

Chi Yu's fingers trembled slightly at this moment.

He knew that at tomorrow's engagement banquet, Yun Xingze would definitely be angry, sad, and angry at himself.

However, as long as they confirm the legal relationship, feelings can be slowly cultivated...

Yun Xingze will definitely become his omega in the end.

After all, the law stipulates that they must be together, what else can Yun Xingze do?

The crazy possessive desire for Yun Xingze took root in Chi Yu's heart. In the end, the guilt in his heart for forcing Yun Xingze to get engaged to him also disappeared completely.

at the same time.

In the imperial palace, in the exclusive reception room of the royal family.

Exquisite refreshments are placed on the expensive conference table.

"When I met you, I shouldn't be here. You seem unfamiliar." The queen sat opposite Luo Wenchuan, wearing a low-key and luxurious dress, with a faint smile on her face, looking extremely gentle, "However, after confirming Before becoming the heir, I still want to have a private chat with you."

"Is it because of what happened back then?" Luo Wenchuan looked at the queen with a calm and cold tone.

"It was your father who didn't think carefully about driving you away from the Imperial Capital." The queen lowered her eyes slightly, her tone filled with guilt, "But, you have to know, even the king is wary."

Luo Wenchuan didn't grow up in Desolate Star since he was a child, but was suddenly kicked out of Imperial Capital Star by the king after a royal interstellar hunting activity when he was seven years old.

The king declared that it was to train his son.

But Luo Wenchuan could see his dislike for himself in the king's eyes.

There is no other reason, but because Luo Wenchuan hunted a star beast for the first time, he was able to use a small particle cannon to take the head of a star beast hundreds of meters away, and the minister at the side said, "The Second Highness is quite like His Majesty back then." demeanor".

Luo Wenchuan stared at his prey, his eyes full of ambition.

From that moment on, the king looked at Luo Wenchuan with disgust.

It is a kind of exclusion between the same kind.

You know, the king forced the old king to power by launching a coup.

He was deeply afraid that Luo Wenchuan would do the same to him, so he drove him to Desolate Star and let him fend for himself.

"It's been a long time, can't you let go of it?" The queen looked at Luo Wenchuan, pursed her lips, and said in a gentle tone, "Although it's unfair to you, I'm very relieved that you didn't die in the deserted star." Lost yourself, but stronger than your brother."

"Is it important whether you let it go or not?" Luo Wenchuan asked calmly.

The queen stared at Luo Wenchuan for a while, then suddenly asked, "What is important to you?"

A certain figure suddenly appeared in Luo Wenchuan's mind.

After a while, Luo Wenchuan replied: "I don't need to tell you."

"It's that mecha master, right?" The queen directly said what Luo Wenchuan was thinking.

"Why, you want to object?" Luo Wenchuan looked at the queen warily.

"I didn't mean that." The queen hesitated for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back, "However, Match Curry currently has no pheromone that can bind to you, so you still have to think carefully."

The implication is that Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan are not compatible enough, so Luo Wenchuan should not be willful.

"Do I have to find someone with a high degree of matching?" Luo Wenchuan frowned and asked, "The most important thing when a couple is together is to like each other. What does that have to do with pheromones?"

The queen sighed faintly: "But our family has a throne to inherit."

Luo Wenchuan said without hesitation: "No matter how compatible Yun Xingze and I are, he is the only person I like."

"But if there is someone who matches you very well in the matching library in the future," the queen frowned slightly, and said softly, "You're so sure, won't you regret it?"

"No." Luo Wenchuan said firmly.

There was a firm light in his eyes, a diamond-like light that had appeared in his eyes since he was a child.

All the time, never changed.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then she did not continue to persuade Luo Wenchuan, but said: "Many things are predestined, let nature take its course."

Luo Wenchuan felt that the queen's words had a deep meaning, but he couldn't judge for a while.

"Tomorrow night, the royal family will hold a press conference." The queen said to Luo Wenchuan, "Whether the heir chosen by the king is you or the eldest prince, I hope you will be healthy and happy."

But Luo Wenchuan could hear a touch of worry from the queen's tone.

"Don't worry," Luo Wenchuan stood up, with a flat tone, "For me, I have found something more important than power and the crown, and I will not be disturbed by this matter."

After speaking, he got up and left.

The queen's eyes followed Luo Wenchuan's back until the door closed.

late at night.

Yun Xingze sent a few messages to Luo Wenchuan, but Luo Wenchuan seemed to be inconvenient to communicate right now, so he didn't reply.

At this time, Yun Xingze unexpectedly received a communication from the scientific research institute.

It was Cheng Yuan himself calling.

After connecting, Yun Xingze was taken aback—almost all the core personnel of the scientific research institute appeared on the other side of the light screen.

After Jinxuan discovered the waste manuscript, he conducted in-depth research, and the research results shocked all researchers.

Soon, Cheng Yuan rushed back to the research institute in the middle of the night.

"Xingze, tell us quickly, what's going on?!" Jin Xuan anxiously held the paper and shook it at Yun Xingze, "When did you research it??"

Yun Xingze immediately realized that it was his waste manuscript that was discovered.

"These are useless," Yun Xingze said calmly, "It doesn't help much to increase the amplification factor."

"This still doesn't help?!" Ming Xiao widened his eyes in surprise, "Then you have a more powerful method?"

Everyone stared at Yun Xingze closely, including Cheng Yuan.

In the eyes of everyone, Yun Xingze nodded slowly:

"Yes. In the cabinet next to the shelf in my laboratory, there is a connector with a lower coefficient. You can try it."

Everyone froze in place

The scientific research institute has been busy up and down and there is no major progress. Yun Xingze has already made a connector? !

Cheng Yuan spoke a little awkwardly: "Yes, it's that kind of ... nerve connector that can amplify mental power?!"

"Otherwise?" Yun Xingze raised his eyebrows, "To thank you for lending my laboratory, I can lend you a tour for free."

Everyone rushed into Yunxingze's laboratory, and Eugene found the black box connector based on his familiarity with the laboratory.

"This is it?" Eugene stared blankly at the adapter, "I, I thought, this is a useless box..."

"Eujin, you haven't noticed after staying with Yun Xingze for so long?" Jin Xuan scolded him with some reproach, "If I had known earlier, I might as well have let me be Yun Xingze's assistant!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Xuan snatched the connector from Eugene's hand.

Eugene wanted to cry but had no tears.Oh my god, how could Professor Jin Xuan get angry at him? If there is no instruction manual for what Yun Xingze makes, no one can understand it at all!

Who would have thought that this ordinary military student would have mastered a technology that was at least ten years ahead of the Mecha Research Academy!

When Cheng Yuan, Jin Xuan and the others conducted a small test with the connector, they were once again too frightened to speak.

"Let's put, put, enlargement factor," Ming Xiao rubbed his eyes vigorously, feeling that he couldn't count, "Two, two..."

"2.61," Yun Xingze knew the number without looking at the screen, "right?"

Jin Xuan mechanically and stiffly turned his head to look at Yun Xingze, opened his mouth, his voice was trembling not like her own: "This, this... this thing, you just threw it in the cabinet so casually?!"

Eugene stood aside in a cold sweat.

Ganqing Yun Xingze has developed a nerve connector with a magnification factor of 2.61, and his assistant completely missed this moment of witnessing history? !

"Oh my God, 2.61..." Cheng Yuan looked at the black box and felt that he saw a peerless treasure, "I thought that I might not be able to see the magnification factor above 2.5 before I die..."

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

Jinxuan's hand holding the adapter was trembling, she swallowed, and asked Yun Xingze: "Excuse me, how do I keep this, uh, this super adapter?"

Jinxuan even gave it a name: Super Connector.

"Save?" Yun Xingze was stunned, "Whatever."

"How can this be done casually!" Cheng Yuan's eyes widened, "Xingze, if this thing is taken out, the entire StarCraft will go crazy! The Federation may directly drive a combat spaceship to catch you!"

"I mean casually," Yun Xingze scratched his head, and said, "No one can open this black box except me."

After observing the black box carefully, Ming Xiao said, "That's right, the technology of this black box... I'm afraid it's beyond the technical scope of our scientific research institute."

Everyone looked at Yun Xingze as if they saw a god.

"Anyway, you have such a big heart. Just leave such a precious thing like this..." Jin Xuan still couldn't calm down, and carefully put the adapter into a safe, "We will take care of it before you come back." kept."

"It's really unnecessary..." Yun Xingze raised his forehead and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jin Xuan's actions, "The coefficient is only 2.61, it's just a semi-finished product."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the scientific research institute fell silent again.

They all stared at the young man in the light screen, all in a daze on their faces.

Their expressions seem to say

"Is this what I deserve to hear?"

After a long silence.

Youjin looked at Yun Xingze, suppressed his excitement and said: "Boss, big brother, come back quickly, let us see more advanced connectors, I beg you, even if you open this black box OK……"

"Xingze, as long as you come back, I will definitely give you a position in the scientific research institute." Cheng Yuan is still reasonable, but his fiery eyes still betrayed the ecstasy in his heart, "No matter what you need, we will satisfy you... Or I'll change my office into your lounge to make you happy?"

Yun Xingze was stunned: "That's not necessary..."

"Xingze, you are now the most senior talent in the empire." Jin Xuan said with a frown, "We will keep it a secret for you, and when your work is done tomorrow, we will immediately send the highest-level spaceship to pick you up to Noah Star. "

Yun Xingze nodded: "I see."

"May I ask, what are you going to do when you go back?" Cheng Yuan asked.

He couldn't wait to see Yun Xingze himself.

Yun Xingze sighed: "The family forced the marriage, and I came back to refuse."

Cheng Yuan showed a surprised expression: "A genius like you will be forced to marry?"

Jin Xuan also frowned and said, "Your parents didn't get water in their heads, did they?"

The scientific researchers were stunned—the boss of the dignified Changsheng Mecha Company actually forced his mecha genius son to marry someone else!

Confusion and shock were written all over Eugene's face:

"I have to say that this is an event that the editors of the official account will be shocked when they see it."

"I have already declined, and I should be able to come back tomorrow." Yun Xingze said calmly.He thought, when Luo Wenchuan's matter was dealt with, he would go back to Noah Star with him.

"That's good," Cheng Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, "If I had a son like you, I would break the leg of anyone who would come to propose marriage."

Others also agreed with Cheng Yuan's rude speech.

After all, they know better than anyone else the value of Yunxingze to the scientific research institute, the empire, and even the entire interstellar world.

Only the Yun family didn't understand.
