void engagement [interstellar]

Nanfeng came out of the space button and turned into a big pure white long-haired cat that could be real. It squatted on Edie's lap, blinking at him with big amber eyes.

As an AI, Nanfeng doesn't understand the complex emotions of human beings, and doesn't understand whether crying and laughing represent happiness or sadness. He just saw the unshed tears in the boy's eyes at the moment he came out before, and made a master In sad judgment.Having been by Edie's side for more than ten years, he has completely failed to show the cool ability he should have as a smart mecha, and he has done a good job of coaxing humans as a side job.

For Nanfeng, who has always been calm and stable, he is rarely cute. Although Edie didn't know why, he was still very happy. He reached out and hugged the soft and warm big cat, buried his face in it and rubbed it hard a few times.Nanfeng raised a furry pad to Edie's hand, and patted it lightly, as if to comfort him.

"Look, Brother Nineteen, the big cat is so cute~" Edie said to Cecil.

Cecil turned on the autopilot, grabbed the back of the big cat's neck with one hand, and lifted Nanfeng up: "Tsk tsk, little thing, it looks like a cat."

"Let go of me, yellow-haired monster." Nanfeng gave Cecil a sideways look, his amber eyes were full of contempt.I don't know why, but Nanfeng, who has a gentle personality, has always had a lot of opinions on Cecil.Or it wasn't just Cecil, he didn't seem to have a good impression of the rest of the Gary family, especially the marshal.Edie once asked him why, but he was at a loss, saying that the initial setting of the system is like this and cannot be changed.

"Nanfeng." Edie called him, "Don't say that about Brother Nineteen."

Nanfeng was silent and did not speak.Cecil smiled, and pushed Nan Feng back into Edie's arms: "It's okay, you don't have to argue with the robot. But I'm curious, who set up his initial system."

Edie couldn't answer and shook her head.

As soon as Cecil's hover car arrived at the gate of the Marshal's mansion, someone immediately came out to greet him.

"You're back, young master Edie~"

Edie jumped out of the car, looked at the familiar Beta girl in front of her, and said cheerfully, "Yes, Miss Liz~ Where's Dad?"

"Master Marshal is in the reception room. Oh! Isn't this my dearest Lord Cecil?" The maid Liz held up her skirt and saluted excitedly to Cecil who was following her, her eyes blingbling instantly, "Let Lisi take the two of you there!"

"Liss, take Brother Nineteen over there, I'll go first~" Edie ran away by herself, leaving only the big star Cecil and the star who had completely removed her disguise and her smile was brighter than the sun. The smiling face made her dizzy and dizzy, and the maid, who was covered in pink bubbles, was standing there.

The guest in the reception room was not an outsider, but Cecil's father—that is, Edie's fifth uncle, Alan Gary.Two Alphas were sitting face to face, discussing something.

Edie ran in, put his arms around his father's neck from behind, and yelled, "Dad~Dad~"

The marshal touched his face with his backhand, and a gentle smile appeared on his serious and stern face: "Baby."

Baby is the nickname given to Edie only by the Marshal and the Marshal's eldest son.

Yes, Edie has no mother.The only two things left to him by his mother, whom he has never met, are Nanfeng who claims to be a high-level mech, and the other is the surname "Bai".

The former was brought by his side and accompanied him from childhood to adulthood, and the latter was used by him as the ID of the holographic network, becoming another self in the virtual world.

He was brought back from the battlefield by the marshal, along with his brother Josiah.Although he doesn't look like the marshal, many people secretly commented that he was picked up, but the results of the genetic test can prove that although he might really be picked up, he was indeed the marshal's own.

Marshal Grant Gary, No. 1 in the Imperial Army, has a calm and introverted personality, and he is serious.In fact, he has a very handsome appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes, deep and three-dimensional facial features, combined with his calm and majestic aura, the Alpha hormone bursts every minute.

He is only in his forties now, and in this era where the average age of a person is two to three hundred, he can be regarded as young and promising in various senses.

Pushing forward more than ten years, Grant, who was worthy of the rank of general, had been crowned as the "Alpha most wanted to marry by Omega in the whole empire" for many years in a row.Countless single Omegas all over the country are quietly waiting for him to automatically enter the database for matching when he reaches the age.Even if the probability of matching him is less than one in a million, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Unexpectedly, just before he was about to automatically enter the genetic matching process, Admiral Grant, who had never had any scandals, returned from the expedition and brought back two dolls at once—the older Alpha was already seven or eight years old, and the younger Alpha was already seven or eight years old. The Omega in the baby is still in its infancy - declared to be his own child.

Since there is a child, there will naturally be a mother of the child, so there is no need to participate in the matching.Countless young people in the empire were suddenly heartbroken.However, in the following ten years, the mothers of these two children did not appear, and many people rekindled their hopes.

Even with two oil bottles, Omega and Beta waiting to give Edie and Josiah Adam's stepmother can still line up from the imperial capital to the frontier.But I have never heard that the Marshal has his eyes on which one.

Edie rested her chin on her father's shoulder and rubbed his face and neck back and forth a few times before she stood up straight and took the initiative to give the Marshal a shoulder tap.

Marshal Grant smiled and asked, "Did the baby cry at school today?"

"Not at all!" Edie felt that his father couldn't open or lift any pot, and felt annoyed, so he squeezed his father hard.

Although his strength was nothing more than a tickle for the marshal who has been fighting for many years and has a strong physique, the smart and wise marshal immediately understood what his youngest son meant. He stretched his palm over his shoulder and touched his hand to show that he knew he was wrong. Stop asking.

Only then was Edie satisfied, and continued to say, "Look, Dad, my classmates gave me a lot of presents~" Saying this, he asked Nanfeng to take out those gifts, and pointed them out to his father one by one as if they were presenting treasures.

His fifth uncle Alan has been watching from the side, and finally couldn't help it, and said in a sour tone: "How old are you and you still act like a baby with your father?"

The marshal smiled, turned back to his youngest son and said, "Baby, let's ignore him." Then he turned his face, "Fifth brother, you are just jealous."

Alpha, who was three points similar in appearance to Marshal Grant, but much more rude and straightforward, held his breath in his chest, paused, slammed the table, and admitted: "Hey, I'm just jealous, what the hell!"

Edie pursed her lips and snickered, then ran over very considerately, and also gave her uncle a thump on the shoulder.

Allen was smoothed at once, closed his eyes in enjoyment, and sighed like an old man basking in the sun: "It's better to have an Omega and be considerate. It's not like those bastards at home. Every day makes people's brain hurt. .”

The marshal said: "Then you have another one."

"No hope." Allen glanced at Cecil, who wandered in leisurely and was drinking tea from his cup, with a look of disgust, "If there is another thing like Cecil, I won't be able to survive. alive?"

Cecil was used to being spoiled, and he was not angry at all. After drinking his father's tea in one gulp, he said to his father with a bright smile, "A few days ago, I learned a new dialect old saying, It's called 'the heart is leaning to the armpit', and it is really suitable to describe uncles, dad, you, and my uncle." He put the cup in his hand on the table and filled it up, and pushed it to Ai In front of Lun, he pulled up a chair and sat down, and continued, "Little Edie likes that one. Needless to say, the whole family volunteered to help him. I wish I could grow eight hands by myself. It's my turn. Look at him." The Omega daughter of Lieutenant General Bazel's family, as a colleague's second uncle and brother-in-law, it's fine if you don't say something nice for me to increase your favorability, and tell the little girl to stay away from me... Tsk tsk, elder What about love?"

"Bastard!" Allen laughed loudly, "Tell me how many girls you have seen before? If you are as good as little Edie, we will also favor you."

Cecil mercilessly exposed his father's lies on the spot: "Let's just lie~ Brother Eleven is good? You didn't favor him."

The eleventh brother he mentioned was the marshal's eldest son, Josiah, who was ranked eleventh among his peers, and Edie usually called him elder brother directly.

Josiah is indeed a very reliable and good boy, with a clear goal and a firm will since he was a child.He was seven years older than Edie, and had followed his father's footsteps into the military a few years earlier. He was just a professional technician, doing scientific research in the military's research institute.His personality is calm and calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is devoted to work, and his private life can be called abstinence.Now he has been promoted to the position of major general with his outstanding professional skills at a young age.Although there are many major generals in the empire, it is extremely rare to find someone like him in the age of war where martial arts are the most important thing.

From this point of view, Cecil was right.Their family's education is really strict with Alpha and Beta, and extremely conniving with Omega—it can't be helped, who told their generation to be an Omega like Edie.

Allen shifted the subject with a guilty conscience: "Don't just talk about us, feel your own heart, is it the same or biased? Who would come back after hearing that his younger brother is going to drop out of school and even postponed the national tour, um ? Who was chased by the manager to the door, huh?"

Cecil was defeated by his father, so he was speechless, and it took a long time before he said quietly: "Okay, none of us should stop laughing at each other, little Edie is the baby of the whole family, there is no denying that. "

Edie laughed to himself while listening to the back and forth bickering between father and son.

Because there were other things, Alan and Cecil left without waiting for dinner.

After receiving a communication, Marshal Grant had to be busy with business again. He gave his youngest son an apologetic look, and hurried into the study.

Edie was left alone, remembering what the club boss Yule had told him, and thinking that he might not be able to participate in mech battles for many days in the future, he decided to take another look online.

Turn on the optical computer and connect to the holographic network, and use your own account to enter the battle platform. The door of the virtual club has just opened to him, and Edie immediately receives a message prompting: "Your friend Yanuo invited you to enter the first VIP room. reject?"
