Xu Le felt that he seemed to have been successfully brainwashed by Rewi Alley.
What's going on? This is totally different from the previous arrangement.
"Aren't you close to Zhang Nuoan? He's your boss? Why would you let me compete with him?"
Xu Le tried his best to manage his words carefully. The time was not right yet, and he couldn't let Ai Li get angry at this time!
Perhaps because of the previous conversation, when mentioning Zhang Nuoan, Rei did not hesitate to talk about him. She said directly:
“He is not my boss, although he is one level higher than me but we are not in the same system.
Zhang Nuoan and I grew up together and have a very good relationship. We have the same ideals, so we have always walked side by side. "
"The same ideal? Bright?"
Xu Le felt that people in this world often mentioned the word "ideal", and most people's ideals were related to light.
This must be the trouble of the world.
"Light? It's one of them. Our original ideal was not that ambitious. We just wanted Zion to be better. It's simple, right?"
“Simple, but not simple.”
"You really think so?"
Xu Le nodded. He remembered a TV series in his previous life called "Awakening Age".
There are also night watchmen like Zhang Zhe and Bai Jing, who all have similar awareness.
“I had a similar feeling when I was in school at Beacon, and many people couldn’t imagine memorizing things in political classes that they didn’t even believe in.
Some people will really regard it as a lifelong belief and fight and sacrifice for it. Those who can stick to their ideals are worthy of admiration. "
Ai Li shook his head slightly:
"I'm not as great as those guys you said. I just hope Zion is better, and the same goes for Zhang Nuoan."
"Okay, let's get back to the original topic. Why do you want me to compete with Zhang Nuoan?"
Faced with Xu Le's question, Ai Li frowned and remained silent for a while. At this time, she didn't know how to answer.
"I think you can do better than him..."
Xu Le felt that it was necessary to make this matter clear, without saying whether he had any thoughts of becoming a member of parliament in the future.
What if he really has a slight chance, but Rewi Alley's dog-licking syndrome breaks out and he returns to Zhang Nuoan, then stabs himself in the backhand, wouldn't that be hopeless
Brainwashing, you have to brainwash Ai Li severely, and make her completely realize the fact that she is a bootlicker, so that she can get rid of the idea of bootlicking.
"You don't believe in me, a colleague of more than 20 years, but you believe in me, a weakling who has only met me a few times? I don't think your thinking is that simple."
"What? What do I think?" Ai Li was a little surprised.
"I think you like Zhang Nuoan very much, but you can't get her, so you are angry and want to attack Zhang Nuoan.
You asked me to go just to take advantage of me. You wanted to feel the pleasure of revenge, not to support me. To be honest, it is not honorable for you to do this. "
Xu Le's words were like a merciless spiritual hammer, causing irresistible mental damage to Rewi Alley.
Ai Li was stunned, especially because Xu Le's analysis was very logical and seemed to make some sense. But weren't they just talking about their ideals in life and building Zion
Why is it suddenly involving her again
"Love that cannot be obtained and use... I don't have such thoughts, and I don't want to use you. Sorry, I will think about it again."
Ai Li was a little hesitant. She was not sure whether her thoughts were exactly what Xu Le said.
If he really was just taking advantage of Xu Le, that would be really despicable.
Because Xu Le mentioned that he couldn't get the love he wanted, Ai Li felt obviously sad, but these sadness were absorbed by the mental energy shield. This feeling between discomfort and not being uncomfortable was very strange.
She subconsciously wanted to turn off the mental energy blocker, but when she thought about it carefully, there was no reason to turn it off.
Xu Le saw Ai Li's hesitation and confusion. If he didn't attack her again and kill her instantly, all his efforts would be wasted.
"Love is something that cannot be forced. If he clearly rejects you and you still cling to him, then that's dog-licking behavior.
There is no good end for those who lick the dog, don't accept that, Ms. Rewi Alley!"
When Ai Li heard Xu Le call her a bootlicker, she was a little angry, but her anger was absorbed by the mental energy shield.
Her slightest emotional fluctuations were completely grasped by Xu Le, even Ai Li herself was unaware of it.
"The word licking dog... is too ugly."
The fruit of Rewi Alley was originally dog. She really couldn't accept what Xu Le said.
But Xu Le hit back with a heavy punch at this time. Without a heavy punch, the dog would not wake up.
"If not a licking dog, what else can you call it, a slithering dog? Wake up, a licking dog licks a dog, and in the end you will have nothing."
"I'm not as bad as you say, and the relationship between Zhang Nuoan and I is not what you think."
Xu Le nodded. When Ai Li thought he would not continue, Xu Le spoke again:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that you said Zhang Nuoan liked Li Qingcheng...
My goodness, this Zhang Nuoan is fishing, he likes Li Qingcheng and is still hanging you, this is the Sea King! "
Rewi Alley: ... (clenched fist)
Xu Le suddenly felt a little angry. He secretly glanced at Ai Li. Would this woman attack him
Fortunately, the effect of the mental energy mask allowed Ai Li to gradually restrain his anger.
"You take a rest, I'll go on duty."
Although he did not continue the topic, Xu Le knew that what he said worked.
The night was exceptionally long. Perhaps it was because the Rain Goddess had called for rain, or because they had not walked far enough, the ground of the entire hill was damp.
Xu Le hesitated for a moment, but decided not to do bodybuilding in front of these people. After all, there were many mercenaries here, and it would be embarrassing to take off his pants in front of them.
Standing up and walking behind the hill, Xu Le found a place to apply moonstone powder.
Things like cultivation are very expensive. After returning, I should really ask Zhang Nuoan for some money.
As soon as Xu Le sat down to practice, a fluffy white tail stretched out from behind Xu Le. Similarly, for Mu Yue, the effect will be greater than 2 when 1+1 is used.
Xu Le felt it last time, and Ai Li felt the same thing.
A man and a dog sat on a hill, looking at the moon.
Xu Le secretly glanced at the big dog beside him again, wondering if it was a bit cruel for him to ask for money from Zhang Nuoan, poach his people, and finally steal his seat as a member of parliament.
"Forget it. When I succeed, I'll treat Zhang Nuoan to a good meal."
There has been a faint feeling of sadness being absorbed into the Soul Tree. It seems that Ai Li's mood is not as calm as she appears.
"Practice well." The big dog suddenly spoke.
"Okay." Someone rubbed his hands.
…
The next day, the pioneers' mission remained the same, but the atmosphere in the team was more solemn.
boom!
Watching Ai Li nail a level 2 deformed bear to a tree with one kick, Wang Shu poked Xu Le.
"What's going on? I feel like there's murderous intent."
“I don’t know!”
Yesterday they moved cautiously, but today with the help of the Meng people, they moved even faster.
Most people were just there to watch, only Ai Li was killing people in the front.
The plain grassland beyond the hills is even more peaceful and tranquil.
Apart from some prairie lions and prairie wolves, there were almost no other decent wild animals.
This ordinary wild beast poses no threat to humans.
Of course, the harvest was not great, and this was the case for the next few days.
The only harvest was the moon rocks scattered on the grassland, which were formed by the moonlight.
The mercenaries had a decent harvest, collecting about 20-30 grams.
Xu Le, Wang Shu and Xu Ting also collected about 40-50 grams of moonstone, mainly because of Gu Yin's strong observation ability.
Wang Shu’s gains should actually be counted as part of the mercenaries’ gains, but every time he just gave Xu Le a wink and asked Xu Le to pick it up, there was nothing wrong with that.
The exploration was completed smoothly in 3 days, and this pioneer mission was successfully concluded.
At night, the man and the dog practiced tacit understanding. There was some auxiliary role between the two, but no one mentioned it.
I didn't encounter any monsters that were too powerful to be matched.
There were no earth-shattering adventures.
In fact, most of the missions are like this. Xu Le encountered various bizarre situations in his previous missions, and he didn’t know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
After the group returned safely to Zion, with the help of Rewi Alley, the team once again took the employee passage.
"It's so convenient. It's good to be an official." A mercenary exclaimed.
"Indeed." Xu Le also nodded.
Not only the mercenaries and Xu Le thought so, even civil servants like Ai Li and Xu Ting found it convenient.
After all, civil servants are very busy and their time is precious.
The reward for the level 2 mission was 2,000 yuan, which was just over 200 yuan each among seven people. If it weren't for the extra income from some moonstones, the gains from this mission would have been pitiful.
However, if it is always such a stable and safe task, most people are still willing to do it.
The salary level in Zion is much higher than that in Lighthouse.
But ordinary workers only make about 70-90 yuan a month, and mercenaries can earn up to 400-500 yuan per mission, which is much better than working in a company.
As they were about to part, Xu Ting hurriedly returned her masking device to Xu Le, and then ran towards her squad office in the law enforcement hall.
Although the captain is her biological brother, it is still a bit outrageous for him to take leave for three and a half days.
"Hey? You don't want to take the money?"
"Brother Xu Le, I'm leaving first. We'll talk about the money later."
Looking at Xu Ting who had already run away, Xu Le smiled helplessly.
His original idea was to poach people, but now he has a new idea, which is to make himself a person of status.
Then let Xu Ting become his bodyguard in a reasonable way, so that he doesn't have to change jobs.
After receiving the money, Xu Le handed all the cash to Wang Shu.
This scene was obviously seen by Wang Jing and others, and they once again began to doubt the relationship between Wang Shu and Xu Le.
In fact, Wang Shu also had some doubts:
"You don't need money?"
"I'm hooking up with a rich man." Xu Le pointed at Ai Li behind him, but he was actually talking about Zhang Nuoan.
"Okay." Wang Shu nodded and left with the mercenaries.
Finally, only Ai Li and Xu Le were left. Before Xu Le could speak, Ai Li took the initiative to hand over the mental energy shield.
"This is for you."
This surprised Xu Le a little. He originally thought that Ai Li would give this thing to Zhang Nuoan to take a look.
"Shouldn't you show it to Zhang Nuoan? There should be a lot of people interested in this thing, right? Including Zhang Nuoan."
Ai Li took a deep look at Xu Le and said:
"You are very confident in your stuff, and you are sure that it cannot be easily cracked, and even if it is cracked, others will not be able to copy it."
Xu Le frowned slightly and said nothing. What Ai Li said was indeed right.
Not to mention the self-destruct device inside the shield.
The final core still has to return to the ancient Yinduo leaves, which cannot be imitated.
Seeing that Xu Le did not refute, Ai Li continued:
"I guess the reason you want me to take this thing back is that you want Zhang Nuoan to study it and let him spend all his energy on it.
You are confident that he has no way to imitate it, and that studying this obscurant will take up a lot of Zhang Nuoan's time, thus hindering his other research projects, right?"
Hiss! ~
Xu Le narrowed his eyes!
I have to say that when Rewi Alley is not in love, she is very smart.
She was absolutely right, Xu Le really thought so.
When you are sure that you have a little chance, the competition has actually begun.
In addition to making enough R&D contributions, most people also use the method of trapping their opponents in a quagmire.
In the past life, a certain American country used this trick very well.
Of course, Xu Le would not admit it.
"I don't know what you are talking about. You can think of so many things about a masking device. You think too much about human hearts, Ms. Ai Li."
"I hope so. Go back and have a good rest today. Leave me your studio's contact number and I'll contact you tomorrow."
"good."
After retracting the shielding device and leaving the communication, Xu Le watched Rewi Alley leave.
This woman sees a lot of things clearly, except her relationship with Zhang Nuoan, which is a pity.
But there is also a possibility that she can see it clearly, but just doesn't want to admit it.
"go home!"
…
Back in the studio, it seemed like no one was there.
But just as Xu Le took a few steps inside, Yi Xiaoya's laughter suddenly came from behind him.
"Hehehe, Xiao Xu Le, someone has been looking for you these days."
Xu Le was slightly stunned. Looking for him? He didn't know anyone in Zion, right
Did Xu Lei come to visit because of Xu Ting? Or was it someone else? Li Qingcheng? Wang Man
While Xu Le was guessing, Yi Xiaoya handed him a card with handwriting on it that Xu Le was very familiar with.
Xu Le, long time no see. I have come to Zion and am currently dealing with some family matters.
It won't be long before the bond of fate brings us together again. - Gan
Xu Le was delighted to see this card. Teacher Gan finally came!
However, he didn't seem to leave his contact information, which was a bit strange. According to Teacher Gan's way of doing things, he should have explained most things clearly.
"Ms. Yi Xiaoya, did Teacher Gan leave anything else besides this card?"
"No, hahaha!"
Looking at Yi Xiaoya who left with a strange smile, Xu Le scratched his head.
"No... that's fine."
In fact, Xu Le is not ready to face Gan. People with the same destiny will feel the movement of fate when they meet.
But his and Gan’s fruits of destiny are different, so he, Gan and Wang Shu will not have any sense of each other.
However, Gan and Wang Shu will have seasonal interactions with each other.
Xu Le felt that he had to take this matter seriously and find a reasonable reason to fool his teacher.
After a little thought, Xu Le made up his mind.
Since it is such a mysterious thing as fate, he can just attribute it to fate. Although he cannot create a destiny between him and Gan, he can open the door!
It would be better to exist from a special angle of destiny to dispel Gan's doubts.
With the conclusion, Xu Le came to Levis' laboratory.
Brother Li fell asleep on the table, with a few smelly lunch boxes next to him.
Doll No. 1, Sha, stood beside him, but did not help him clean up the leftover lunch boxes.
Xu Le took a look at Sha and found that its back was hollowed out. There must be some problem with the doll and it needed to be repaired.
Levis was a light sleeper and he woke up after Xu Le arrived.
"You're back?"
"Yeah, yeah."
“I have made another batch of maskers in the past few days, but if the technology is not made public, there is no way to mass-produce this kind of thing.
With the current production, even if I don’t eat or drink, the success rate will go up, and I estimate that I can only produce 6 a day.”
“It’s already very good, and due to material limitations, we don’t need to mass-produce it for the time being.”
"I had no money, so I did as you said and bought 2,000 yuan of moonstone on credit. The boss was quite easy to talk to, but I felt a little embarrassed."
"Don't worry about the money, brother Li. I'll find a way to get some money back tomorrow."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Levis, Xu Le returned to his room.
Ding Ke was lying there sleeping, and the whole cat looked a little listless. When he saw Xu Le coming back, he didn't even stand up. He just glanced at him and continued to lie there.
Xu Le touched Ding Ke's head and asked worriedly:
"Are you sick?"
Meow! ~
Ding Ke leaned towards Xu Le's arms. Xu Le did not reject the black cat's coquetry. He hugged Ding Ke and sat on the bed.
The black cat fell asleep quickly, holding Xu Le's arms with its two paws and refusing to let go, nor was it willing to let Xu Le leave.
Xu Le was helpless. He couldn't practice or study in this state. He could only take out a book and read it casually.
But when I looked up, it was already night.
Ding Ke, who had slept for several hours, still showed no signs of waking up.
And after the moon rose, Ding Ke suddenly murmured.
Meow meow! ~
"Are you dreaming? You can't hear what I said clearly? Are you okay, Ding Ke?"
Xu Le frowned. He really suspected that Ding Ke was sick. He decided to take it to a pet hospital or something like that tomorrow.
But just as he was about to put Ding Ke on the bed, Ding Ke suddenly said:
"Xu Le, my head hurts, can you hold me for a while?"
Xu Le's eyes flickered, his fingers trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath and nodded:
"good."
"I want to go under the moon."
"good."
"Hold tight."
"good."
"Why do you smell like dog?"
Xu Le: …
The next morning, Xu Le, who was leaning against the window, was awakened by the ringing of the communicator.
Ding Ke in his arms was gone.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Xu Le picked up the Moonstone communicator and said:
"Hello, I'm Xu Le."
"What are you doing?" It was Ai Li's voice.
“I’m breathing.”
