The man who escaped from Haitang City

"Allow……"

Yi Zhen was stunned.

"Call me," he said, "what the hell is going on again."

Rong Hongxue quickly answered the call.

"Xiaozhen," he smiled slightly, "So you haven't slept yet, are you preparing for the competition?"

"Why are you sending me money?" Yi Zhen got straight to the point, "You should know, this is my private account."

"Then, why don't you use your main account?" Rong Hongxue asked back, "Rong's dividends are always profitable for your account. My elder brother... After Rong Huaiyu left, part of his shares will also be allocated to you. Under the name, even if you can't hold the real power, you will never lack money anyway."

He is so soft-spoken, elegant and polite, and it is so natural to even call him big brother, like some good brother and friend...

Yi Zhen's teeth were sore when he heard this, and he said, "I don't need the money left by Rong Huaiyu."

"Xiaozhen, you've become stubborn." Rong Hongxue's tone was very melancholy, "If I didn't suddenly think of it today, I wouldn't know that you haven't used your main account, and your private account only has 430 two yuan .”

"...Thank you for your concern, I'm glad to hear that you rounded up the change, but let's go back to the original question." Yi Zhen said, "I do need money, but it's not your money, and I don't need 200 million. Many, I..."

"During the two and a half minutes of our conversation just now," Rong Hongxue interrupted him, "the mines located in the major galaxies, mainly War Pegasus, Azot, and Scarlet Dusk, were creating about one mine per minute for me. The income of 5000 million universe coins, and the loss and expenditure of nearly 7000 million universe coins per minute. When I picked up your communication two and a half minutes ago, I said to you: Xiaozhen."

He smiled: "—the 200 million I called you has already been taken back."

Yi Zhen: "..."

Okay, you are a paper man, you are awesome, and you are the protagonist of a paper man, you are even more awesome, right, the protagonist of a paper man plus the boss of the interstellar mine is even more awesome, awesome plus, anyway, don’t be afraid Inflation money is worthless or something.

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Rong Hongxue changed the subject in a normal way: "Speaking of which, what do you know about the Heroes of the Empire?"

Although Yi Zhen didn't know why he asked this, but since the other party spoke in a casual and homely tone, it didn't matter if he didn't play against each other.

"If you have any clues, just prepare well."

"I know you signed up behind my back, but it doesn't matter, I will come back in a month and serve as one of the chief examiners for the finals." Rong Hongxue pondered, "Well... Among the people who signed up this time, There are several times more descendants of those families, tyrants and nobles than in previous years, do you know why?"

His fingertips tapped the metal tabletop regularly, making a slow-paced sound. Yi Zhen couldn't help but follow his words and asked, "Why, because there are changes in the rules for this year's competition?"

Rong Hongxue smiled: "Yes, you can say no. Because of this competition, whoever wins the championship will get a share of the scarlet cloak's biomineral mining rights. The champion's fief will be placed directly in the scarlet cloak. close to the mineral planet of the cloak, or directly give the winner a mineral star—an incomparably huge wealth, enough to make anyone who knows the inside story take the risk and bet the last chip.”

Another scarlet cloak.

Yi Zhen frowned: "That is to say, the last time Natalia's cousin was sent to the scarlet cloak, the purpose was for the reward of the competition?"

"The executioner of the Black Dragon..." Rong Hongxue smiled softly, "He will only act in the name of the family when he is performing cleaning tasks for Grand Duke Norst. It seems that the Crown Prince will be established now, even if it is The giant dragon in his prime will also try to find his own way out."

The amount of information in this passage is a bit large, and it is not easy to decode. Yi Zhen put it aside for the time being, and asked Rong Hongxue another question: "What exactly is the biomine in the Scarlet Cloak Galaxy?"

"That's living metal." Rong Hongxue said lazily, "In addition to having excellent hardness and toughness, combined with a special forging method, it is an extremely difficult to damage weapon or armor, because it can grow automatically. memory metal."

"You mean, it can automatically fill in broken places, like long nails or long hair? But how is it possible..."

"The Scarlet Cloak galaxy also has a ruler, but it's not an emperor, nor a god, but a sage." Rong Hongxue said.

Yi Zhen asked: "Could it be that the sage is... Yu Xingchen?"

Rong Hongxue said with a smile: "That's right, the flowing ether, the myriad laws of the heavens, the falling stars, and the wisdom fire shining through the long night after tens of thousands of years... There are countless titles about her, Ms. Falling Star, the real ruler of the scarlet cloak galaxy .”

"Everything about her is unknown. Although our first meeting was very unpleasant, she did tell me something-sages are not life-long, even if their lives are long and almost never-ending, everything will eventually The end. When a successor appears, the previous sage will spontaneously search for his own burial place, his body will return to oblivion after a long wait, and his energy and spirit will gradually evaporate like dew in the sun do."

"Thousands of years after the death of a sage, the star field near the Boneyard will usher in unprecedented prosperity and prosperity."

Yi Zhen said: "Elephant tombs and whale falls, are sages such huge creatures?"

Rong Hongxue said: "Biological mines are the ores produced in the burial site. After infiltrating the spirit of the sages of the past, they seem to have their own life, so they are very precious."

Yi Zhen finally understood a part of the ins and outs. Even though the person he was talking to was Rong Hongxue, he was still fascinated for a moment. Biomine... If he could study it, it would be of great benefit to the manufacture of hidden weapons.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this," Rong Hongxue said, "I remember, you don't have your own mecha yet, right?"

Yi Zhen is still thinking about the hidden weapon: "Well... yes."

"You know, the mechas sold on the market will never have the highest craftsmanship, and the cutting-edge technology is monopolized by the families of those great mechanics." Rong Hongxue sighed, "In case you need mechas, what should I do?"

Yi Zhen took out a piece of paper and began to draw design sketches on it. While listening, he kept writing while absent-mindedly: "Ah... yes, what should I do."

"Therefore, I sent a team to you," Rong Hongxue said softly, "Let them introduce you to meet the masters of mechanics. The three craftsmen who have won the highest honor of the Azot Empire will measure for you Create the most handy work by yourself.”

Yi Zhen opened his mouth slightly: "Really, that's not bad, you send... wait a minute."

He raised his head: "You... what did you just say?"

Tai Ah: [Oh, it's fine if you don't make a move. Once you make a move, the attack is very fierce. ]

"Mecha is the standard equipment for all contestants." Rong Hongxue pointed innocently at the table, "If you don't have a mecha, how can you compete with those opponents whose strength has been multiplied several times, even tens of times, or hundreds of times?"

Yi Zhen said, "No, that's not the point..."

Rong Hongxue said: "As for the competition rules, opponent information, etc., you don't need to worry about it. The think tank will take care of everything for you. Do you still need a teacher? Whether it's Azot, Zhuxing United, or Imperial Heavy Industries , First Technology... You can choose the tutors of these universities at will, and the person who comes to see you tomorrow will bring you a roster by the way, just click on it."

Yi Zhen: "I..."

Brother, what did you suddenly say?

Azot, United Stars, Imperial Heavy Industries, First Technology... These universities are among the top universities in the entire Azot Empire. Students who graduate from these schools will surely become high-level elites in all walks of life in the future. Lead their development prospects, and even determine the direction of the entire country.

And their mentor is naturally a master among masters. Passing by the gate of Azot University, throwing a brick can hit five or six tenured professors in different fields.Maybe you only saw an old man trembling through the trash can in the morning, and in the afternoon you can see him holding the laser pointer tremblingly, standing in the public classroom and saying weakly, welcome students to the advanced alchemy slate book research course , uh, cough, old and incompetent, who happens to bear the false name of a great miracle worker, so please feel free to order, don't be nervous, cough, cough.

...so roster shit!Do you think this is going to the clubhouse to order cowherds!

No, think carefully about the conversation I had with him... It was so dangerous, I almost boiled the frog in warm water!

Yi Zhen put down his pen, "You said just now that you sent a team?"

"Yes," Rong Hongxue replied, "It should be here tomorrow."

In other words, this guy didn't come on a whim at all, what kind of mechanical masters, think tanks, rosters... dare he arrange it long ago?

Tai Ah: [Well, this is called not fighting unprepared battles. ]

Yi Zhen: "..."

He really didn't know how to describe this weird mood.

Take a stroke, don't panic.

Calculating the time and the distance the scarlet cloak took to get here, Rong Hongxue would have started preparing these at least two weeks ago, almost at the same time as the node he signed up for.

Then after he finished all this, he didn't know that he would say anything, but seized the time, and the night before the team's arrival, Chao Yizhen made a huge sum of money in his personal account that was enough to alarm him.

Next, he knew that he would definitely make a call, and after slowly taking the lead in the conversation in his hands, he would calmly guide the topic in the direction he needed, and he almost nodded in agreement.

What a... what a distorted way of doing things!

Yi Zhen opened his mouth again and again, and now, the times when he can choke Rong Hongxue are less and less, but the times when Rong Hongxue can choke him are more and more, could this be the legend The apprentice of the church, the master starved to death...

"I can't have it." After a long while, he said dryly, "I don't need a mecha, nor a mentor or a think tank. I just want to ask you, why do you help me do these things?"

Tai Ah: [I think this is a textbook-level pursuit of social etiquette. ]

Yi Zhen: "I think it's best for you to shut up first."

Rong Hongxue was silent for a moment, wondering if it was an illusion, but Yi Zhen heard a sense of loss...or grievance.

"Then why don't you?"

Yi Zhen pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a long breath.

Mecha, I have never heard that assassins need this kind of auxiliary combat platform that can be used in operations.

Instructor, it’s okay to teach fighting and fighting. If a mechanic comes to teach, he will definitely detect clues about hidden weapons, no; The illusionist's course is also not suitable for me.

As for the think tank... he was already the main character, and he still needed the think tank to analyze and guide him.

In the final analysis, Yi Zhen can only say: "Because I... walked on a different path."

Rong Hongxue stopped talking.

The night can indeed calm one's mind and mind. In such a dark night, as long as Rong Hongxue doesn't provoke him, he is willing not to start a war for the time being. However, the situation this time seems to be beyond Yi Zhen's imagination. Provoking him, on the contrary, planned a lot for him—even if it was a unilateral effort.

Yi Zhen is really a soft-hearted person, he can use the sharpest edges and corners in the world to confront others tit-for-tat, but once the opponent softens, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

"I know what you're thinking," Rong Hongxue said, her voice already deep and cold, "You don't want to use the inheritance, and you don't want to accept my aid, you just want to draw a line with me, why don't you Thinking of Rong Huaiyu, right? It's a pity, it's too late to draw a clear line now, Xiaozhen."

He smiled lowly: "At Rong Qing's funeral, I tasted the taste of your lip balm for the first time, the peach flavor, I still don't forget it. You were in a hurry to run, but your waist is so thin, so I'm here again There are a few fingerprints on it, what does Rong Huaiyu say about this? Didn't that trash tell you to bear it? Now you can't bear it anymore, and his people are gone. We have been entangled in the past few years...Xiaozhen, you Do you really want to draw a line with me?"

Yi Zhen thought about it for a moment, and after listening to the intimacy at the beginning, it seemed that there was a bit of gnashing of teeth at the end, he was not very angry, but said in a tolerant tone towards Guisun: "To be honest, I won't draw a line with you. , even if only to try."

Because you and I are the only two protagonists in this broken book, if you want to break up the family, it is impossible in this life, wait for the next life.

"Besides, I don't care what kind of entanglements I had with you before."

The main storyline of the two of us is not distracted, no one is at a disadvantage. You think you have taken advantage of me, but you don’t know that I also prostituted you for nothing—and strictly speaking, you are not taking advantage of me. .

"So, you don't have to be so angry, let alone make up your own mind... It's like you're pursuing me."

...You probably didn't mean that, did you?When we met for the first time, you asked me to climb, and I discounted your wrist with the same discount as jumping off a building, and then pressed you to the ground with old punches, and you almost squeezed me into a lump of flesh in turn Sauce, the two of us have never met since then, and we basically communicate remotely through equipment.And once we talk, I will humiliate you unilaterally... Well, thinking about it this way, such a weird first meeting and subsequent development, Tai Ah should be nonsense, and you definitely don't mean it.

Rong Hongxue didn't speak for a long time.

"...Pursuing you?" He said, not knowing if it was because of the poor signal, Yi Zhen always felt that he heard a slightly rapid breathing.

"Xiao Zhen, you really know how to tell jokes."

Being so pointed out by him, Yi Zhen coughed and felt a little embarrassed, he rolled the roller pen on the table unconsciously, and said dryly: "Uh, if there is nothing else, I will hang up, and you too... ... go to bed early?"

Before Rong Hongxue could speak again, he cut off the communication and rubbed his temples with a headache.

Ah... Speaking of which, did I forget something?

Yi Zhen's eyes slowly wandered away, forgetting something...

[200 million. ] Tai Ah said coolly, [By the way, I can't send the money back, he blocked your account. ]

yes! The matter of 200 million has not been clarified yet, he is going to pay back the money!

Yi Zhen jumped up, stood for a long time, then sat down dejectedly.

After working for a long time, he was still led astray.This guy, this is really difficult...
