My machine combat simulator has come true

Yu Xiao was the first to lower his head for this series of compliments.

"I'm just a mercenary. I've been entrusted by others to do my best...that's all."

But it seems that Godwin didn't buy it.

"Ha—what's the problem with that!" He laughed loudly, "You're still young. But it's okay to be a little bit proud? When you reach my age, you will find that the so-called 'proud in the spring breeze' is not Words that can only survive in youth."

"...But." But then, Godwin changed the topic again.

"—A boy of your age should enjoy a stable life in the academy. Why did you commit yourself to the dangerous path of being a mercenary?"

"If you want to talk about the reason..."

Yu Xiao lowered his head.

Then he recounted the experience from beginning to end after starting the simulation career to the other party.

He has said this set of rhetoric many times.It is already familiar to the point of heart.

"...I see."

After hearing such a heavy story, President Godwin nodded slowly and rhythmically.

"Looks like I'm talking about something that will make you sad. But—one has to look forward, Akatsuki!"

Showing a regretful expression, he patted Yu Xiao's shoulder.

"I've been doing my best. President Godwin. But thanks anyway..."

"——Why are you still called 'President'? Since you want me to call you by your name, you might as well just call me 'Godwin'."

In response, Godwin snorted softly.Then a proposition was thrown:

"...Or, if you want to do this, would you like to come to our company to work...?"

Chapter 180 The Eighth Story, Not Ended

Here we come—poaching corners faster than expected!

Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Is it true that he is the president of VTX?Don't miss any opportunity to dabble in talents.

…but also as stated above.

This matter was also expected by Yu Xiao.The difference is only in the morning and evening of the timing.

"……what?"

So he first pretended to be surprised.After all, this is reasonable enough.

It was only after a moment that he shook his head slightly and refused:

"No... as expected, forget it. President Godwin."

"yes."

And Godwin nodded.But it looks like he hasn't given up on his advice:

"——However. Spiritual young people are the treasures of the earth. Even if I don't look at it from the perspective of the president, I want to gather as many shining talents as possible into the name 'VTX'. It's in the container... how about thinking about it again, Akatsuki? As long as it opens up new possibilities for your own life, it's okay to try..."

"It's a great honor to be loved and loved. However, I'm afraid I'm better suited to my current life. And..."

Speaking of this, Yu Xiao changed the topic.

"...I don't really want to. Working in a dangerous workplace."

The words revealing extraordinary information were the first to attract Godwin's attention.

His complexion suddenly changed:

"……What does it mean?"

"This—literally, President Godwin."

Yu Xiao, however, turned a blind eye to the aura of pressure suddenly released from the president of VTX.

Instead, he just calmly stated the inference that he had made in his heart early in the morning:

"...The current VTX club. There are factors of instability. Although I really don't want to say this... But, I'm afraid. VTX, which has always been known for its corporate cohesion and unity, may have a traitor inside."

"...Hey. How do you say that?"

Then, facing Godwin's question, Yu Xiao told him a series of what he had seen and thought at the base of the SME Liberation Front.

"...That's it. In any case, if you want to know the whole picture of this battle in a short period of time, you have nothing to think about other than the direct information leak... Although as an outsider, this reasoning may be a bit arbitrary, but still I hope that Mr. President, you can take my opinion into consideration for the consideration of the whole company."

At the end, he added so solemnly.

In fact, this was also one of the main motivations for Yu Xiaohui to agree to accept this interview.

Although he really doesn't want to tie himself up with the VTX union-mainly because he doesn't want to lose the points he can get from his mercenary career-but on the other hand, from a long-term point of view, it is beneficial to have a good relationship with VTX. And harmless.

Not to mention, is it possible to turn the capabilities of this giant enterprise into a boost to help the island resist unknown threats in the future...

It is possible that the future activities as a mercenary in this area can be carried out more conveniently with the help of the relationship between him and VTX.

And there is no doubt that in order to shorten the distance between the two parties as quickly as possible——

It is most convenient to provide such an important information directly during the meeting.

After speaking, Yu Xiao waited and waited for the other party's response.

"...What you said is not unreasonable."

Maybe he was really persuaded by this mercenary who had saved the entire company in a crisis, Godwin said with a pensive face.

"This matter, I will put it on the agenda in the next few days-and I hope you can keep it secret."

"Of course I'm keeping my mouth shut. And as a wandering mercenary, no one would suspect me—then that's it. If there's nothing else, let me retire first, President Godwin..."

With that said, Yu Xiao stood up, as if intending to leave.

"Of course, it's just..." Godwin nodded, but he still seemed to be thinking about something.

Then he said what he was thinking about:

"—Are you really not going to work in our company? Akatsuki."

"...I don't have such a plan at the moment, President Godwin. But maybe after I get used to being a mercenary, I might change my mind..."

Yu Xiao also shook his head.One more rejection at the end.

There are only three things to talk about, and it may be the best choice to end the conversation at this time.

So after Yu Xiao said goodbye to Godwin, he walked out of the meeting.

However, after walking not far away, his sight caught the face of another person whom he was familiar with both in the past few days and in the past.

The other party was leaning against the corner with his hands crossed, as if he was waiting for someone——

So he took a few steps forward in surprise, and then asked a question.

"...Mr. Luo? Are you here..."

"...Is that you? It's just in time."

Seeing that it was Yu Xiao, he let go of his hands and put on a gentle posture that wanted to talk.

"I - no. We, how should I say it... There are some things I want to talk to you carefully. Are you free now?"

To this, Yu Xiao responded with a natural chuckle.

"--sure."

...or rather.Thinking of this, his eyelids drooped a little.

I also have some words that I want to talk to the other party in detail.

***

However on the other side within the VTX union.

Strangely, it was daytime but thick curtains hung high.Blocking the light outside, but not turning on the lights myself...

As a result, there is only a slight white color reflected from the computer screen in the small staff dormitory.It looks rather weird.

And at this moment, the scene presented on the monitor screen——

It was a slightly beating sound wave curve.

After reproducing it, the sound that comes out is...

"Heh. Calm and sharp, it feels like Carlos when he was young. But, the question of the traitor..."

It was the voice of a man muttering to himself.It sounds like you're praising someone——

And listening to that unique voice, it seems that it is the president of VTX.Dharma Godwin.

Obviously, this is a wiretapping.I'm afraid that the conversation between Dama and Yu Xiao was heard clearly just now.

"...It seems that we have to deal with it. Em and I... no. How can we tolerate the appearance of such maggots among the dreams that all human beings should have..."

"—Damn it. Damn it! Damn it!"

Hearing this, the listener couldn't help being angry.He stood up and slapped his palms on the innocent table.

[To be honest, I have been using the source-changing app recently to read and update books, switch between sources, and read aloud with many timbres, both Android and Apple. 】

"...You say I'm a maggot? You guys are the ones! After creating such a company, you are indifferent to the chaos in it, but you only find me to bully you?..."

With a bitter voice, the man finally stood up.The lens that refracts light has exposed the man's identity:

He was the one who had dealt with Yu Xiao before, that "Mr. Nar" who looked a bit cowardly.

But at this time, the distorted face caused by intense hatred made him look a little changed.

"...Even if there is a gap in the content of the job, I was transferred to such a remote position and waited to die... because of such a thing, what is wrong with me making a reasonable protest! Sure enough, the VTX sucks... There is that mercenary... I thought that this kind of little devil should be given by the group of wastes from the small and medium-sized enterprise liberation front... Hey, I am so annoying!"

Then he raised his head suddenly.Stretching out a trembling hand to a receiver on the table——

"...Mr. Nine Dragons? The previous plan failed. So...that's right. I want to activate the backup plan, and..."

Gnar smiled maliciously.

"Don't worry. There are additional rewards. As long as...you help me solve a small matter."

Chapter 180 The Nine Story, Just Beginning

After choosing to leave with Luo Dongchuan, Yu Xiao came to a remote place in the VTX Joint Industrial Park.

Many equipments were damaged during the fierce battle between Behemoth and Barga.Those who can still work are now either working overtime with all their strength or doing all they can to repair——

Therefore, the flow of people coming here is a level that can be said to be inaccessible.

...indeed, a good scene for some sort of secret conversation.

After raising his head and looking around to reconfirm that there was no one around, Luo Dongchuan spoke cautiously:

"...Mr. Akatsuki. First of all, I want to confirm, is it okay to call you like this?"

Yu Xiao shrugged at this.

"—It's not impossible. It's just..."

Then he said something unprecedented.

"If you don't mind. As always, it's fine to call me Commander, or 'Red One'."

— Speech about it.

Luo Dongchuan's expression changed from surprise to dullness, and finally turned to relief.

"...Really. Sure enough, you are..."

He originally wanted to insinuate the other party's identity.

Unexpectedly, the other party was the first to see through this intention, and admitted it openly.

...think about it too.After all, if he is "Red One", he may have recognized his identity from the first sight of meeting.Luo Dongchuan was thinking.

Therefore, rather than ignoring the so-called concealment, it is naturally better to directly admit the identity and carry out the exchange of information.

"Yes. Although it may be a little late to say..."
