Eddie has made up his mind to go, and Bai Duan also knows that he has no way to stop it. After all, he and Eddie just met by chance and had known each other for less than a day, so he had no right or ability to interfere with each other's decisions.
Finally, he didn't say anything more, he was so worried that he settled Eddie to live, then hesitated for a moment, and went down to the basement of his home.
Although on the surface, Bai Duan's residence is no different from an ordinary Beta family, but if you go to the basement, you will be shocked by the various instruments and equipment in it.
——In the eyes of everyone, Bai Duan is just an ordinary high-achieving Beta student who has just been admitted to the Delmore Institute of Higher Education majoring in mecha manufacturing, but in fact, his ability in weapon manufacturing has reached a very high level, even You can make a lot of money this way.
After all, after successfully "saving the world" in the last world, he and Samuel received a considerable amount of energy as a reward, and most of it was given to Bai Duan by Samuel, which made Bai Duan It can be called a radical change.
Now, Bai Duan's soul strength is extremely high, no matter what he learns quickly and well. At the same time, his own good luck has also been improved. Unique path.
Bai Duan's parents have been working in the factory. At the beginning, their income was not high, and they could not buy toys that children like for Bai Duan. Fortunately, some discarded or redundant parts and materials are produced in the factory every day. Bai Duan's parents took these relatively beautiful and delicate things home and gave them to their children to play with.
I don’t know whether it’s because I like it naturally or I don’t have other toys to play with. Bai Duan has developed a strong interest in mechanical parts since he was a child, and he can assemble this mess of parts with a few fiddles. The shape of the parts assembled, the small things made have no effect.
Later, as he grew older, and the odds and ends and various parts of the house accumulated, Bai Duan began to download some elementary drawings from the Internet for students to learn. Even without any systematic study, he was able to assemble it successfully, and it has been out of control ever since.
When she was ten years old, Bai Duan anonymously participated in the youth instrument blueprint assembly competition on the virtual network and won the prize. It's just that this competition has not attracted people's attention except for a small bonus for Bai Duan - except for a mysterious man who calls himself "Old Lin".
Lao Lin knew nothing about instrument assembly, but he happened to be in urgent need of assembling a set of illegal instruments. He had drawings and materials, but he couldn't find a suitable person to complete the assembly. At that time, his long-time partner had just been taken away by the police, which made all the "technicians" who were engaged in illegal instrument assembly and manufacturing all panicked. Hidden, not daring to take over the business at hand of Lao Lin. After all, most of those who engage in their illegal business are cautious, and it is not a big deal to make a small fortune, but once they are caught and put on a criminal record, it will be terrible.
The impatient Lao Lin had no choice but to wander around to try his luck, but he never thought that when he was wandering around the Internet, he happened to see the game in which Bai Duan won the championship, and he immediately had a crush on this young man. The boy who was only ten years old fell in love with him.
Generally, children who are able to touch the assembly and manufacture of instruments at this age undoubtedly appear in noble families. After all, only nobles have spare money to buy parts and invite teachers for their young children, hoping that they can win at the starting line.
But white satin is different.
After learning about Bai Duan's background and family in detail—after all, an ordinary Beta would never have any secrets in the eyes of the well-connected Lao Lin—Lao Lin couldn't help but be deeply shocked by Bai Duan's incomparable talent in making instruments. Obviously relying on the simplest elementary textbooks and without the guidance of a teacher, Bai Duan's understanding of instrument assembly and manufacturing far exceeds that of other children from noble families. Youth in the rough.
After getting in touch with Bai Duan, I found that he had shown dissatisfaction and contempt for the ABO social form since he was a child, and he had no sense of belonging to the country. He was struggling to find someone to assemble the equipment, and he also wanted to develop new forces. With this idea in mind, Lao Lin handed out an "olive branch" to Bai Duan—even if the cooperation is not very pleasant, he can easily deal with a Beta child who has no identity background.
At that time, Bai Duan was also encountering a bottleneck, and was immediately attracted by the high-level blueprints and high-level parts materials in Lao Lin's hands, and hit it off with Lao Lin.
Ten-year-old Bai Duan is still at the stage of "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers". He doesn't really realize how dangerous it is to assemble illegal equipment, let alone that he has already walked through the door of hell, and he doesn't know how dangerous it is to assemble illegal equipment. The seemingly amiable Lao Lin is secretly calculating to kill him if trouble arises.
Bai Duan, who came into contact with advanced blueprints for the first time, quickly became obsessed with it. With the help of Lao Lin, he found all kinds of materials and absorbed new knowledge eagerly. The speed completely exceeded his expectation, and even the blueprint instrument, which he didn't hold much hope for at first, gradually took shape in Bai Duan's hands, even catching up with the deadline given by the employer.
The first "cooperation" with Bai Duan was a great success. Lao Lin naturally couldn't put it down for Bai Duan, and Bai Duan was also eager to get more advanced blueprints and rare materials from Lao Lin.
Bai Duan didn't have high requirements for remuneration, and every time he took over the task, he finished it quickly and well. Lao Lin became more and more satisfied with him, and the cooperation between the two continued like this. When it comes to Lao Lin's number one partner, the relationship between Bai Duan and Lao Lin is getting closer.
Later, as he grew older, Bai Duan also realized the dangers of his "part-time" job, but it was a pity that he couldn't get off the "thief ship" at that time.
Although earning more and more money, Bai Duan did not dare to disclose it to his parents, and could not use it to supplement the family. In addition to completing the drawings and instruments delivered by Lao Lin, Bai Duan also wants to conduct his own research.
As a result, over time, the basement of Bai Duan's house became what it is today, which made Bai Duan's illegal "part-time job" more convenient.
Going down to the basement, setting up the access control carefully, Bai Duan walked to the communicator, and started to call Lao Lin—this is a very primitive single-line communication method, but sometimes, the more primitive things are, the more confidential they are. It is easy to be eavesdropped on the signal.
Soon, Lao Lin's figure appeared on the screen in front of Bai Duan.
Lao Lin has now reached the stage of middle-aged and elderly people, but he still wears a weird and trendy Sha Matt costume. His gray hair is braided into thin and dense braids, and he wears nose rings, earrings, and lip rings. He has a hooked nose, mustache, vicissitudes of life, and blurred and frivolous eyes. With a handsome and coquettish appearance, he can barely be regarded as a non-mainstream handsome old man.
"Hi~ baby." Lao Lin smiled lazily at Bai Duan on the screen, showing a mouthful of neat big white teeth, "It's so rare that you would take the initiative to contact me. Is there anything Lao Lin can do for you?"
Bai Duan has long been used to Lao Lin's indecency, and he didn't even move his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Old Lin, do you have a way to go to Hobion Star?"
Although it was a question, Bai Duan's tone was extremely firm - now he is no longer the silly kid who was fooled around by Lao Lin when he was a child, and Bai Duan has gradually learned about Lao Lin's identity under Lao Lin's intentional or unintentional disclosure.
Probably a sequela left by life in the black streets of the last world, Bai Duan has a very high acceptance of various illegal activities. After realizing that he had violated the national ban, he only hesitated for a while before accepting it calmly. Even when he joined forces with Lao Lin but was followed and ambushed by the enemy, Bai Duan did not show the slightest fear when Lao Lin killed someone in front of him. The panicked emotions, not as calm as a teenager, made Lao Lin look at him with admiration—it was only then that Lao Lin began to make up his mind to completely pull Bai Duan into his circle, thinking that he was a "good seedling" who was born to break the law and discipline. ".
However, Bai Duan refused because he still missed his parents. His parents worked hard to make him stand out, so even though he didn't feel too cold about it, Bai Duan lived according to his parents' expectations, acting as an excellent and honest gifted student on the surface, and was admitted to the best institutions of higher learning.
—This is the first time that Bai Duan asked Lao Lin so clearly about the black forces behind him.
Hearing Bai Duan's question, a gleam flashed across Lao Lin's sleepy eyes. He sat up straight a little bit, showing some interest: "There is a connection, of course there is a connection. Why, the little baby finally wants to open up and is willing to fall into Lao Lin's arms?"
"It's not me." Bai Duan's expression was cold, but his tone was somewhat hesitant, "It's my... a friend who got into some trouble and wanted to go to Hobion to avoid the limelight."
"Hobion Star is not a good place to hide from the wind." Lao Lin chuckled, "Once you enter that place, you can't get out easily."
"Of course I don't want him to go!" Bai Duan couldn't hide his anger, "but...he insisted on doing this."
Looking at his little partner who was rarely so emotional, Lao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, which meant a lot.
After cooperating with Bai Duan for so many years, Lao Lin knows Bai Duan thoroughly. Although the surface looks not much different from ordinary Beta children, Bai Duan's heart is inherently cold. He doesn't have any friends who can really walk into his heart. Even Jamie, who grew up with him since he was a child, is just a "barely acquaintance" to Bai Duan. But this time, the "friend" in Bai Duan's mouth is really extraordinary, and it can make Bai Duan risk contact with her, and once it is done, Bai Duan's most important secret will also be revealed in front of the other party.
—However, Lao Lin didn't know that Bai Duan had such an important friend. At least in the near future, he never noticed Bai Duan's strangeness, and he didn't notice who he was getting close to.
However, as Bai Duan grew up and became aware of what dangerous things he was doing, Lao Lin's attention and control over him also gradually weakened.
After all, as a partner, proper distance and privacy are very necessary, and Lao Lin doesn't want to cause the other party's dissatisfaction and ruin this pleasant cooperative relationship because of his excessive monitoring of Bai Duan's life.
Therefore, even though he was surprised by Bai Duan's sudden friend, Lao Lin didn't show it.
After listening to Bai Duan's general account of his friend's troubles, Lao Lin touched the two mustaches on his lips and tilted his head: "Have you offended two nobles? I probably guessed what you said. Who is the person?"
Lao Lin's intelligence network is much wider than that of Bai Duan, and even Bai Duan can guess Eddie's identity, let alone a person like Lao Lin.
"It's very difficult... Take an Omega to Hobbit..." Lao Lin shook his head.
"...not Omega, he is Beta." Bai Duan pursed her lips.
Lao Lin was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows high, and burst out laughing: "Beta? No wonder, no wonder! Beta is much better than Omega, as long as he can endure hardship and be tired." After a pause, Lao Lin put his hands together Standing on the table, with a serious expression, "I can take this task, but I have to 'inspect the goods' first, and then discuss the details and remuneration in detail."
Bai Duan also knew Lao Lin's caution, hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll talk to him first, and then I'll contact you."
Lao Lin made an OK gesture, then blew a kiss to Bai Duan, and ended the contact neatly.
Bai Duan stood in front of the screen that had returned to black, silent for a long time, and finally raised her hand to ruffle her hair distractedly.
—He doesn't know whether the decision he made is correct, but if Eddie wants to do it... then he will definitely help the other party achieve what they want.
