FVN Chapter 308 Promise
Chapter 308 Promise
Chen Ming sat on the sofa in the dormitory.
After taking a bottle of pure water from Bai Quan and taking a sip, he asked, "By the way, did you ask He Gu to take me to the report meeting?"
Bai Quan sat down next to Chen Ming and replied, "Of course not, I just asked him to bring you to me."
"What does he mean?"
Bai Quan said without thinking, "Of course he wants you to help with the Psychic Research Institute, what else could it be?"
He then explained the situation of the Psychic Research Institute to Chen Ming and his speculation on He Gu's ideas.
Let Chen Ming completely understand what He Gu meant.
There was nothing else for Chen Ming to say, anyway, he would have to meet He Gu later, and he could talk to him in detail next time.
Now, he still had to tell Bai Quan about the content of the just-concluded conference.
After Chen Ming became a psychic, his enhanced mental power also gradually enhanced his memory.
Now he can repeat everything the admiral said at the conference without any of his own understanding.
There is no need to read the script or consider the participants.
Chen Ming spoke in one breath in front of Bai Quan.
He would only pause when Bai Quan indicated.
In less than half an hour, he had spoken out the contents of the meeting that had just ended in almost an hour and a half.
After listening, Bai Quan lowered his head slightly and thought for a while and said, "I roughly understand."
"The content of the meeting is similar to what I thought, just targeting Bei Niu and us at the same time, which is also the reason why I asked He Gu to find you."
Bai Quan expected that the legion would take action against the branch, so he found an opportunity to call Chen Ming over so that he could talk to Chen Ming face to face about some more complicated topics.
"So... what do you want me to do?"
"Well, although the Legion is temporarily trying to protect the Garo branch, someone will eventually take action. It will not be good for us if the branch suffers."
"But even if you don't say it, I will find a way to protect the branch."
Bai Quan shook his head and said, "Your protection is military protection, but such protection alone is not enough. I need you to help me manage the situation of the branch."
"Isn't Jing Xian here?"
"Not enough. He can't handle so many things. I have to rely on his assistance to manage the entire branch, not to mention him."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I'll teach you some administrative regulations these days. You don't need to have a deep understanding, as long as you know some management strategies."
"Is this enough?"
Bai Quan just said that he and Jing Xian could barely handle the situation of the branch together.
Chen Ming himself plus Jing Xian, even if he learned administrative management knowledge, it might not be useful.
Bai Quan denied again: "Of course not. My idea is that after you go back, don't hold back and use your psychic power to fully control the entire branch." Chen Ming opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Bai Quan and asked: "Are you sure?" "Sure." Bai Quan confirmed: "You must know more about your psychic power than I do." "Even from my perspective, as long as you have a little knowledge of administrative management and have someone who can fully cooperate with you, such as Jing Xian, you can manage the entire branch well." For Bai Quan, it is definitely better for the branch to be fully controlled by Chen Ming than to be infiltrated by others. He has finally built a piece of iron plate, and it must not be taken advantage of by others during his absence. And there is the most critical point. Chen Ming's psychic power is there, which is a deterrent to everyone. "Okay." This kind of thing is not a loss for Chen Ming, and his relationship with Bai Quan is already there. He is in the 14th Legion, and he is in the same faction as Bai Quan, and there are various interests involved. Bai Quan has losses, and he will definitely have losses, and it is impossible to watch Bai Quan suffer losses. Bai Quan got a satisfactory answer and said again: "It's not just the branch, you must also be careful, because someone may come to trouble you."
"It may not be a direct conflict, there is a great possibility of a sinister plot in the dark."
"You may have to hold on until I finish learning new command techniques here, and wait until the troops from the headquarters are transferred to the Galo branch, then I can go back with you."
Chen Ming certainly has no objection to this.
The more Bai Quan learns about the command techniques of the mechanical race now, the greater the possibility of surviving on the battlefield.
But Chen Ming didn't understand one thing.
"The Legion has a fleet in Beiniu that just went there to control Beiniu."
"He Gu told me that another fleet will go to Beiniu in a week."
"And there is a fleet on the nearest front line fighting with Yuhui's main force."
"The Legion can actually spare a fleet to fight the Mechanical Clan?"
Bai Quan said as a matter of course, "What do you think? If it weren't for the fact that our Legion's military strength has exceeded many people's estimates, why did the conference imply that our Legion would be divided? This is the strength of our Fourteenth Legion."
"Exaggerated."
Just after Chen Ming's sigh, neither of them continued to speak.
But it was less than two seconds.
"I..."
"That..."
Chen Ming and Bai Quan suddenly spoke at the same time, interrupting each other's words.
Bai Quan immediately said: "Then you go ahead and say it."
"OK,"
Chen Ming tidied up his words a little and said, "I want to sell part of the energy crystallization technology of the Crystal Crab."
Chen Ming had thought about it before, and He Gu said it was okay.
He was working on energy crystals by himself. Even with the help of Yuhui and Zerg, he really couldn't meet the needs of all places.
Not to mention supplying energy crystals to the entire empire, he might not be able to fully provide them to just one star region.
Although currently, because the number of energy crystal crab species needs to be expanded, the number of energy crystals that Chen Ming supplies to the Fourteenth Legion has not yet reached the upper limit.
It is impossible to say that Chen Ming snatched tens of thousands of them from Yuhui, and within a few months they were spread all over the planet.
But even so simply relying on the insect queen who currently only has one planet and the afterglow that is still in the process of development, the upper limit of the energy crystals that can be provided in a short period of time is just that.
But if the process of cultivating and developing crystal crabs is sold to the Fourteenth Legion, the situation will be different.
Energy crystallization can definitely increase production significantly.
And Chen Ming relied on the antimatter patent fees, the hyperspace channel jump engine patent fees, and the money he earned from selling some energy crystals to maintain a balance with the fleets developed outside.
You will definitely make more money.
"That's good. What are you going to do?"
"Um……"
First of all, energy crystal insects cannot be given out.
If the insects are removed, the problem will be huge.
Chen Ming could only give the Fourteenth Legion the Crystal Crab.
And the crystal crab thing...
Although Chen Ming let the insect queen eat a few crystal crabs and cultivated crystal worms derived from the crystal crab genes, he didn't pay much attention to the crystal crabs.
But fortunately, not all those crystal crabs were eaten.
It is still being cultivated.
Although the energy crystal worms specially manufactured by the insect queen for converting energy crystals have a higher output and quality than the energy crystal crabs.
But crystal crabs are natural creatures after all. After special breeding, they may mutate into some interesting things. Both Chaofan and the Insect Queen left a lot behind.
Chen Ming can give these crystal crabs away.
In addition, Chen Ming also plans to let the insect queen use the ability to control genes to transform some crystal worms into crystal crabs.
Relying on his spiritual power and the ability of the insect queen, it is very simple to modify the genes so that no one can see it.
This can also explain in disguise why the quality of the goods Chen Ming sold to the 14th Legion during this period was different from the crystal crabs given by Chen Ming.
"I can directly give the seeds I cultivate here to the legion, but I don't know if the legion can cultivate them in batches."
"absolutely okay."
Bai Quan said: "What limits the legion's development of energy crystal crabs is quantity."
"The only ones you gave me before were two adult crystal crabs and two eggs. A total of four crystal crabs can't do anything. It's okay to keep them as ornamental pets. It's impossible to cultivate them with just four."
"But if you are willing to take action, we can definitely shorten the breeding time by relying on various growth hormone stimulations. You don't have to worry about this."
"How many quantities are needed?"
Bai Quan thought of a rough number: "At least one hundred thousand, you can start with this amount. The more we can provide in the future, the better."
"No problem. I'll drive the Colossus class to the branch when the time comes. The headquarters is a bit far away."
"Well Jing Xian turns out to be in charge of this. You can just talk to him then. I will help you get through the relationship without losing your share."
Chen Ming nodded and reached a verbal agreement with Bai Quan: "Okay, I'm done. What did you just say?"
Bai Quan suddenly blushed.
He planned to shamelessly tell the whole story about Cheng Xinghai.
This matter cannot continue to be delayed, if it continues to be delayed this time.
The next time he and Chen Ming can talk about this kind of thing may take a few months.
By that time, the war with the machine clan might have started, and he would never have time to talk to Chen Ming about the love between his children.
So he must make things clear now.
Bai Quan coughed dryly and said: "Um...how have you been learning to conduct in the recent period? Do you have any questions to ask?"
Chen Ming immediately understood what Bai Quan meant.
He actually felt that time was almost up and he couldn't delay it any longer.
Bai Quan has been talking about this matter for a long time, and he has given plenty of hints in all aspects.
He had to at least give Bai Quan, or no, give Cheng Xinghai an answer.
Chen Ming thought this, subconsciously recalling the recent time he spent with Cheng Xinghai.
In his impression, getting along with Cheng Xinghai had a comfortable feeling.
Cheng Xinghai's character is not like that of an ordinary nineteen-year-old girl. How could she be the same as an ordinary girl in the army? However, she is not too strong and domineering.
Her character is very exquisite, or in other words, she is very good at acting differently according to different situations.
Chen Ming felt this way when he first came into contact with Cheng Xinghai in the simulation.
At that time, he was still thinking about whether everything Cheng Xinghai had with him was intentional and false.
But later Cheng Xinghai made him change his mind, and she showed her truest side.
That's when we talk about games.
Cheng Xinghai would talk to Chen Ming about many things in the game in his spare time.
If it was one or two days, Chen Ming might still be suspicious.
But if Cheng Xinghai talked about it every day, even when Chen Ming was not too interested in the game and did not know much about it for various reasons, she would continue to talk to Chen Ming and constantly try to sell Chen Ming the game she often played.
And even if Chen Ming really took the time to play it, he would not understand anything when he played the game for the first time, and Cheng Xinghai would be so angry that she would try her best to explain it to Chen Ming.
This feeling is definitely not something that can be created falsely.
The excitement of being absolutely interested in the game, and the performance of investing most of the free time in it, cannot be faked.
That kind of close feeling, the real feeling, is something Chen Ming has never experienced and will never forget.
Of course, later she and Chen Ming got more and more familiar with each other, and she didn't mind directly saying a few words to Chen Ming when Chen Ming played the pig nose operation.
But this did not affect Chen Ming's deep love for this feeling.
In addition, when Cheng Xinghai teaches him, he doesn't force all the knowledge on Chen Ming like Bai Quan does, but the lesson plan is obviously made after careful consideration.
Although Cheng Xinghai recently found that Chen Ming's learning efficiency was a bit abnormal, he also felt closer to Bai Quan.
But it also made it difficult for Chen Ming to give up this feeling.
Although he doesn't care about some things, it doesn't matter whether he does it or not.
But if you get used to some things but lose them, it will really make people feel empty.
Cheng Xinghai, a girl he knows a little bit, is a very good choice.
Chen Ming has made a decision in his heart.
But there is a problem.
"What does Cheng Xinghai think?"
Bai Quan seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said, "She agreed a long time ago and asked me about your attitude about a month ago."
"I was too embarrassed to ask you directly, so I found an excuse to ask her to teach you something and let her confirm it herself."
"Didn't she ask?"
Chen Ming recalled the past again: "Maybe there was a hint, but I wasn't sure of my thoughts before."
"But now... I... can."
Bai Quan paused as he looked at Chen Ming, then stood up immediately and patted Chen Ming's shoulder very intimately.
"Okay, okay."
His face was full of smiles: "Then let's pick a suitable day for you and Xinghai to get married."
"Ahem..."
Chen Ming coughed and interrupted Bai Quan and said: "Wait, isn't this a bit too fast? Xinghai is only 19 years old, right?"
"But you are 26."
"It's not too late for me to be 26."
"She is already one year older than the legal age for marriage at 19."
Bai Quan sat next to Chen Ming again and said to Chen Ming: "You and Xinghai's situations are very special. It is impossible for you to slowly cultivate feelings before talking about marriage."
"It's a little early to get married, but we can have an engagement party first, right?"
Bai Quan was telling the truth.
Chen Ming is now a level 5 psychic, so it's impossible for him to find someone to talk slowly.
Cheng Xinghai's situation is much more difficult than his. After all, Chen Ming has the ability to decide his future, while Cheng Xinghai, the adopted daughter of a lieutenant general, is also a psychic, but her ability is obviously far from Chen Ming's level.
She really didn't have many choices.
Chen Ming's previous hesitation actually had a little idea of not wanting to take advantage of others.
But in getting along with Cheng Xinghai, Chen Ming confirmed that Cheng Xinghai did not particularly dislike him.
And now he has also confirmed Cheng Xinghai's attitude through Bai Quan, so Chen Ming has no suitable reason to resist.
He doesn't need a suitable reason, he can just accept such a result.
"Engagement banquet... this is fine."
"Okay."
Bai Quan stood up again excitedly.
"It will definitely not be done within a week, so you may not be able to keep up with the opening of the star gate by then, I have to tell you this first."
"It's okay, I can drive a cruiser all the way back, it will only take a few days at most."
"Did you drive a cruiser here?"
"No, but I can drive a cruiser."
"Okay."
Bai Quan is no longer surprised by the effects of Chen Ming's psychic power.
"Where do you plan to live first? You can live in my dormitory, or somewhere else."
"That's fine." Chen Ming just saw that there were two empty rooms in Bai Quan's dormitory: "I don't have high requirements for the conditions of the place where I live."
Bai Quan's dormitory has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms, and it is also a dormitory at the headquarters military base, the conditions are very good.
"Okay, then I'll contact Xinghai and tell him about this?"
"Wait."
Chen Ming hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let me go see her."
Bai Quan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was a little too excited.
It is indeed most appropriate to let Chen Ming meet Cheng Xinghai in person.
"She is in school. She should be in the library at this time. I just heard my wife complain to her two days ago that the task I gave her to teach you caused her to go to the library every day and she had no time to play games."
"Does this make her very uncomfortable?"
"If she really hates it and doesn't want to do it, will she waste her time playing games to go to the library? Just teach you according to the lesson plan I gave you before, but there is no need to do it yourself..."
"……I see."
Chen Ming nodded to Bai Quan, stood up, and left the dormitory.
And just after Chen Ming left, Bai Quan immediately took out the terminal.
In the address book, I found the communication code marked with the word "wife" and typed it: "Do you have good news?"
At this time, Chen Ming, who had gone out, was already standing outside the dormitory building. The metal liquid was entangled in his palm, and he gradually built the structure of the shuttle boat.
And the style of this shuttle boat is the same as the one He Gu drove before.
Although Chen Ming doesn't care about many things, he only cares about food when it comes to food and clothing. After all, he was afraid of being hungry before.
But what others mostly look at is not what he eats, but what he wears, uses, and drives.
He still had to be a little more careful when meeting people.
He promised Bai Quan and was willing to take on a share of the responsibility.
Then when doing things, you should consider the attitude he should have after agreeing.
Chen Ming went to check it out before.
The shuttle boat of the Psionics Research Institute is a model of shuttle boat specially supplied by the military and publicly sold by Tachyon Technology Company.
The value of one such shuttle boat is about the same as two ordinary escorts.
It can only be said that the shuttle boat of the Psychic Research Institute is so luxurious.
At least the status of such a shuttle boat will not be lost when it is launched.
As for the clothes on my body...
Chen Ming lowered his head and glanced at himself. He was wearing a fairly neat white coat.
It's fine to wear in the institute, but it's not suitable to wear this kind of clothes in other places.
It's best to go to the city and buy a set first.
Wait, Chen Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to have neither a shuttle boat license nor a shuttle boat driving license...
It’s not a big problem, we’ll wait until we get caught.
At this moment, Bai Quan suddenly poked his head out of the dormitory window: "I almost forgot to give you something."
Chen Ming immediately raised his head and asked, "What is it?"
However, Bai Quan suddenly fell silent, his eyes locked on the shuttle boat that appeared inexplicably next to him.
He immediately took back the shuttle boat key that he was about to throw to Chen Ming, and swallowed his words to tell Chen Ming where his shuttle boat was.
"It's okay, just change the license plate to mine."
"Then take this away..."
Bai Quan turned around, took out his driver's license, and threw it to Chen Ming.
After taking the things, Chen Ming boarded the shuttle boat and left the military base.
Although the colony on this planet is the headquarters of the Fourteenth Legion, there are still many family members or staff living there.
Therefore, the necessary supporting infrastructure must be available.
So Chen Ming successfully changed into an outfit worth about half a million yuan in a shopping mall in the city, and also took extra care of himself.
Then he went to the Directly Affiliated Military University, which was also in the city.
Relying on Baiquan's license plate, he landed safely in the school parking lot.
The landing of Chen Mingkai's shuttle boat attracted the attention of many students.
Those who can study in college at our headquarters are basically students who are qualified to know about the Psionics Research Institute. Of course, they also know the value of the standard spacecraft of the Psionics Research Institute.
Although this shuttle boat is not marked with the institute's logo, it is enough to attract attention.
Of course, Chen Ming ran very fast, and not many people noticed his whereabouts.
Following the map, he quickly found the library.
When Chen Ming first entered the library, he saw Cheng Xinghai sitting by the window. His eyes slightly obscured by short hair were full of concentration. .
At this time, she was flipping through many textbooks as she complained before. If she wanted to teach Chen Ming, she would have to pick up a lot of previous knowledge and thoroughly integrate it.
She kept flipping through the book and taking notes, completely unaware that Chen Ming was looking at her.
Chen Ming walked over slowly and sat down in front of Cheng Xinghai.
Cheng Xinghai, who had been immersed in the book, noticed someone sitting in front of her. She raised her head and was about to get up and change seats so as not to be disturbed.
She saw Chen Ming's face.
They looked at each other speechlessly.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Chen Mingcai finally said: "Well... Bai Quan told me basically everything."
Cheng Xinghai pursed his lips, silently packed up the books and notes in front of him, and said softly: "Let's go inside and talk."
There were people coming and going in the school at this time, and the seat Cheng Xinghai chose was close to the window, so he could easily be seen.
So Chen Ming had no objection and followed Cheng Xinghai into the depths of the library.
After walking to the corner of the library.
Cheng Xinghai stopped.
He turned around and looked at Chen Ming.
Cheng Xinghai is very smart, and her psychic ability makes her smarter than her peers.
But she is only 19 years old after all, and she is in school now, not on the battlefield.
Such an environment allows her to reveal her inner true side.
She clasped her hands behind her back, her slender fingers moving uneasily, and she opened her lips slightly to Chen Ming cautiously and nervously: "Then...what's your attitude?"
Chen Ming replied without a moment's hesitation: "I'm here."
What Chen Ming said here was not referring to the headquarters, but to Cheng Xinghai's school, in front of her.
If you agree, then be decisive.
Cheng Xinghai found that her face was slightly hot, and Chen Ming's attitude was already displayed in front of her.
But Chen Ming suddenly turned his head slightly to the side.
Cheng Xinghai immediately noticed that Chen Ming's attention was not on her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Chen Ming shook his head.
Although Cheng Xinghai took him to the corner of the library, there were still people in the corner of the library.
In the direction where Chen Ming just looked, there was a person paying attention to the two of them, his eyes full of shock.
He probably knew Cheng Xinghai, but he didn't expect Cheng Xinghai to show such an expression in front of him.
Chen Ming didn't pay much attention to that person and looked at Cheng Xinghai again.
"Would you like to go out for a meal? It's noon now."
"good."
