Chapter 16 Hypocrisy, business politeness
"Father!"
The sad and painful cry from the study made the "little brother" who was outside the wall pull back his mind that had been in a trance for nine days.
How is that?! That's a big secret!
No way! It must be made public!
There was a crisp sound on the ground, and he was too stunned, and his fingers clamping the stone crack were overforced, and the stones on the wall were crushed like tofu slag!
…… Damn, it's over! A few cold sweats suddenly oozed from the forehead of the "little brother", and he immediately turned over and fell, crossed the courtyard wall a few times, and ran wildly towards the dense forest under the slope near the villa!
Unexpectedly, he had just run a few hundred meters away when he heard the sound of the glass window breaking behind him. Then, the hum of the mecha engine, like the breath of a strange beast, resounded within a radius of several kilometers from the villa!
He couldn't help but look back, and the long sniper that was almost the same length as the mecha made his heartbeat skip a beat!
Sure enough, it is one of the "Eight Star Generals", Jerlett! I can only give it a try!
With a thought in his mind, he summoned a transparent energy shield more than three meters high from the spatial ring card, covering himself tightly! Almost at the same moment, a bright silver pillar of light roared and smashed into the energy shield like a heavy hammer!
There was a loud "buzz", and a scorching, steaming pit was knocked out of the surface of the energy shield! Under this heavy momentum, the energy shield directly cracked, collapsed, and shattered into a puff of energy stars, and smashed heavily into the back of the "little brother" hiding behind it, especially on the left shoulder!
The "little brother" suddenly turned black in front of him, and he almost fainted! Ignoring the hot pain in his back, he immediately summoned his six-star mecha [Night Stalker] before the other party's next shot came!
He endured the sharp pain in his left shoulder, quickly jumped into the [Night Stalker], skipped the various self-tests of the mecha main control, forcibly activated, and almost in half a second, he dragged a long flame of light into the air!
In line with the instinct of avoiding attacks for many years, he chose to dodge to the right as soon as possible! Sure enough, as he expected, a silver-white pillar of light with the sound of electricity flashed away against the left arm of the [Night Stalker]!
Although it was not hit head-on, its left arm was still burning under the energy beam, billowing black smoke!
He didn't have time to think about the battle damage, so he directly used a set of extremely irregular tactics to evade the action, disrupting Jerlet's dense offensive like rain hitting plantains, and then dragged the black smoke that was torn into thin strips, and fled the scene at great speed!
Looking at the figure that turned into a black dot and disappeared quickly in the blink of an eye, Jerit couldn't help but take a sip.
Damn it! The mecha in the feather sea area runs so fast!
Dejectedly, Jallit returned to the large study of the villa, and in the face of Molved's inquiring eyes like sharp blades, he could only bow his head and choose to tell the truth:
"The guy from the feather sea area, let him run away!"
"Do you see what you look like?" Morvide asked grimly.
"I don't see it...... Maybe it's a thief......" Jerlett shrugged helplessly.
"A guy who can run away from the strongest sniper of my 'Eight Star General', you tell me he's a thief?!" Molved grabbed a chair beside him, snapped it, and smashed it directly in front of Jellett.
"Then we ......" Jerlett couldn't escape the blame, and could only bow his head and wait for Molved's next instructions.
"Regardless of him, he has no evidence anyway. No one would believe him. The rumors about me are not worse than him......"
The corners of Molved's mouth slanted, and he refocused his gaze on the weeping Los Bes and the gas-stricken Barsaromu, his eyes were filled with a cold cold lightning, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinned, revealing a terrifying and unstoppable sneer:
"It's a bit of a surprise, but our plans don't change.
"Immediately release the news in the name of the Noel family, saying that the head of the Noel family is critically ill and hopes that the filial grandson Xu Chen will return in a hurry!
"The property of the Noel family, the 'filial daughter and filial son-in-law' has no intention of taking care of it, and it is dissolved if it can be received, and it is dissolved if it can be dissolved. It is enough to leave them this 'luxurious' abode!
"By the way, don't forget to keep a few people, and 'kindly' take care of some 'housework' for them!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader!" The five "eight-star generals" responded in unison.
……
Silver Armor World, the main city, the open heavenly city.
After determining that the light mecha to buy was [Light Harrier], Xun Qiu and his party looked at the heavy mecha in the same store.
In the end, considering that the armor was only temporary and did not need to be taken too seriously, after focusing on the main control and design, they chose the same five-star [Destruction].
With the addition of the previous [Light Harrier], the total number of the two mechs has exceeded 10 million.
However, Xun Qiu, who is unable to reproduce the main control system by himself for the time being, can only choose to buy a ready-made one first.
Hearing Xun Qiu's needs, the clerk of "Carey's Family" was confused:
"You mean, you need a [Break] and [Light Harrier] master control system?!
"I know how to prepare the accessories for the mecha in advance. However, as long as the main control system is required, there are so many more pieces...... I really haven't encountered it!
"Are you sure you want the main control system and nothing else?!"
"Of course, something else!" Xun Qiu took out two information cards. One was recorded by Wu Xiaoxi in advance, and the other was Tinker Bell.
The clerk took the two information cards and looked at them cursoryly, and the suspicion on his face became even heavier:
"These are all raw materials! It's still 108,000 miles away from being able to use mechs! ”
The original pleasant face of the clerk of the "Carey Family" collapsed instantly, and the corners of the mouth on both sides drooped rapidly, almost pulling into a perfect semicircle.
As soon as he saw Xun Qiu's dignified body and extraordinary demeanor, he thought that the eldest young master of which family was coming would have a big business.
As a result, only two mechs were needed. The rest of them add up to the same price as three or four mechs.
And the other goods except for the mecha have to go to other branches to pick them up. It won't be counted in his sales performance. In this way, his achievements are quite ordinary.
Therefore, his mood plummeted, his face sank, and he looked very cold.
Xun Qiu found that the clerk's trust in him had dropped to a new low.
Obediently, this is almost 35 million business, you can't even look down on it?! What kind of world is this!
Xun Qiu couldn't help but look at his clothes, thinking that the special effects that Arya blessed himself had come to, and he was back to the appearance of a poor boy!
This hasn't changed back?! He muttered to himself silently with black lines on his face.
"What's all the fuss about?" The clerk shouted, attracting the attention of a suspected store manager.
The clerk instantly woke up and was annoyed by his gaffe. He turned around with his eyebrows bowed, and said respectfully and solemnly to the young man who had come in from outside:
"Young Master."
Lotte Yu, Xun Qiu and the others looked back and found that this young master was actually someone they knew.
The young man had purple hair and black eyes, a long white face, and was wearing a gray stand-up collar and folded sleeve coat that showed his identity more than Xun Qiu's coat, low-key but luxurious woolen trousers, and a pair of hard leather boots. Walking shook the ground, and the hem of the clothes was restrained and pressed against the wind. Although his height is not as high as Xun Qiu's, and his momentum is slightly insufficient, he is still dignified and heroic.
This person is none other than Azure Academy, among the first divisions at the same time as Xun Qiu, the top three Roderick Carey.
As the captain of the first detachment of the newcomer branch of the Azure Division Regiment, he took the time to inspect his shop today.
Faced with such an unprofessional appearance of his clerk, he frowned deeply, his face was displeased, and he had the posture of reproaching him. But as soon as he saw who the customer was, a reflexive professional smile appeared on his face.
"It turned out to be Lotte Yu, this is ...... Xun Qiu, you shouldn't be Xun Qiu, right?! As soon as Roderick recognized Xun Qiu, the whole person was stupid. The previous calmness quietly dissipated, and a look of shock quickly took over his long face.
Xun Qiu found that the so-called young master was actually his own contemporary, and he also looked at Roderick with a little suspicion.
To be honest, he almost didn't have the slightest impression of this contemporaneous master who only knew the name. The two did not deal with each other at all.
For the other party's smile, he didn't show any enthusiasm for seeing old friends, but responded without humility or arrogance:
"Master Carey."
"So you...... Coming back? I only heard that you disappeared in the primeval world for a long time, and I thought that something must have happened to you! I didn't expect to see you here today, it's really auspicious, it's gratifying! ”
What a nephew of Bridges...... Looking at Roderick's rather skillful appearance of currying favor with Xun Qiu, Lotte Yu secretly scolded in his heart.
"I don't know what I want to buy today? As a contemporary, even if you tell me straight, don't be polite to me. Whatever you buy, I'll give you a 50% discount! ”
Roderick had only vaguely heard of this person during the time when Xun Qiu disappeared, and knew that his family background was average and his ability was also ordinary. How many things can I buy from my home store today? He could count it on his toes.
It's rare for the other party to walk up to the door, and it's really unreasonable not to give some benefits. Even giving it to him for nothing felt fine. Anyway, a small business, if you make a profit, he doesn't take it seriously.
The little master naturally didn't care, but he was bitter for the clerk next to him. This fluttering sentence directly broke his commission! However, when he was caught by the young master with a poor service attitude, he could only eat Coptis dumbly!
50% off? This guy isn't bad...... Xun Qiu finally bowed slightly to his strange armor master at the same time, and chatted with his approval.
"Old Wu, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pick up the goods! Roderick turned and shouted at the clerk, who was already half-hunched.
"Some of the goods need to be picked up at the branch...... I'll do it. The clerk surnamed Wu only mentioned it slightly, then shook his head secretly and left quickly.
Seeing Lao Wu running out with his hands and feet quickly, Roderick finally said to Xun Qiu and Lotte Yu with some sneer:
"Poor service...... Xun Qiu, I heard that you didn't even catch up with the contract signing meeting of the Azure Armor Division. So are you now a freelance armorer, or where are you looking for a job? ”
Roderick said as he invited his fellow students, who had not spoken a word in the academy for more than three years, to sit down on the welcome couch in the store. His smiling appearance must have deceived many people.
It's a pity that Xun Qiu can't be fooled.
Although his face is full of smiles, his heart is calm...... This is the so-called false business courtesy, right?
However, Xun Qiu, who had just taken a handful of benefits, would not be stupid enough to break it.
I just hope you'll be able to laugh when I pay...... Xun Qiu shook the hem of his clothes slightly, sat down in front of Roderick with a calm face, and said with a slight smile:
"I'm now the commander of a division. Today I'm here to buy equipment for the group members. ”
