When Philips arrived at the villa, Claire, Yingluo, and Linglong went to the kitchen to prepare the lunch meal, because the purchase can be handed over to the hotel waiter, and finally pay a little tip, so the three girls only need to cooperate with the cooking.

Claire is really good-tempered and a little excessive, just because of Tang Fang's sentence "I'm used to eating the dishes you make", which is a three-point exposition and seven-point compliment, she actually worked hard to take charge of everyone's diet, plus she was also in charge of the daily life of the captain, she simply became his royal nanny, as well as ...... "tofu machine".

Grant and Churchill suspected that the captain had poured her in a state of confusion and taken care of him so desperately, knowing that the girl was also a battalion commander before, and she had killed someone and had a gun, but now she was a full-time wife.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Claire's sacrifice is great, but from her own point of view, she enjoys her current life very much, she is a Cancer girl, kindness and gentleness are the nature given to her by God, she prefers to be in charge of the spoon than to hold a gun, she prefers her husband and children to kill, and she prefers the smell of the sun spreading on the quilt than blood.

War had always been the thing she hated the most, it had always been ......

The reason why she went to study in the Charles Federation and was willing to become an officer was because she didn't want to see the people of Monya living hard under the butcher's knife of the Stewart family, she never thought about avenging her parents and grandparents, she may be very strong on the surface, but she is actually very cowardly in her bones.

Luckily, she met him, and although the encounter was not so wonderful, the man was like an outstretched hand on the embankment, saving her from the boundless wind and rain and the fierce waves.

The Morningstar was like a haven, and it was stormy outside. Inside, it was like a heartwarming fire burning in the fireplace on Christmas Eve, a turkey on the table, and a warm little family with neon lights on the outside of the Christmas tree, and then she realized one thing, the so-called giving, the so-called sacrifice. She doesn't have to be on stage and exposed to the spotlight, so she is willing to be a behind-the-scenes worker, taking care of the captain with her gentleness and care.

Zhou Ai once said: "Behind every successful man there is a great woman".

She wants and is happy to be such a woman!

The soy sauce-colored soup danced in the pot, and the sweet smell came from the direction of the oven.

Meanwhile. Philips and Benny Sr. had been asked to sit on the sofa by Tang Fang, and in addition to the two of them, there was another person who arrived with them - Elma, Benny Sr.'s distant niece, a person who Hausen had been thinking about for a long time, although he often complained that her bed skills were not very good.

Irma didn't sit in the front hall, she just said hello to Tang Fang and was pulled upstairs by Haosen.

About half a minute later, Bai Hao appeared in the living room on the first floor with a quilt. With an aggrieved face, he cried to Tang Fang and complained that Haosen bullied him.

Because of the presence of guests, Tang Fang was not good at attacking. He had to be temporarily arranged to take shelter in an empty guest room, and the boy went as happily as a bachelor to his daughter-in-law, which made the captain wonder if he had been calculated by the two of them.

The next three of them talked a few words, and then Yingluo brought a few cups of steaming coffee, and then withdrew.

Old Benny was drinking coffee when he looked at a string of characters on the monitor opposite the sofa, and couldn't help but be stunned: "DEATH1024? What is this? ”

Tang Fang felt that there was no need to hide the matter of looking for "Zhixin". Moreover, Philips and old Benny are friends again, so they told the anonymous merchant with the ID of "DEATH1024" about the acquisition of "Zhixin" by "Zhiyuanxing".

Old Benny didn't care when he said "oh", he just smiled and said that the man was brave enough to dare to use such an ID, and he was not afraid of bad luck. He was really taken by death to the underworld to enjoy happiness.

Tang Fang smiled and shook his head, he didn't expect old Benny to have such a humorous side.

He didn't think that old Benny knew "DEATH1024", since the person planned to hide his identity, he naturally wouldn't show his feet lightly, according to the information obtained by the infected person from Anthony, the process of the transaction between the two was very secretive at that time, after Anthony received the money, according to the other party's request, he hired an unrelated person to drive the shuttle to a deep space, released the storage equipment containing the "wisdom core", and then returned the same way. Therefore, Anthony doesn't know the origin of "DEATH1024", whether it is a man or a woman, and the other party also doesn't know the details of "Zhiyuanxing", and Old Benny is just the No. 2 person in a small business group, so it is naturally impossible to know the identity of "DEATH1024".

Philips was interested in the so-called "Zhixin", and asked Tang Fang to take a look at this thing that far surpassed human technology and was very different from the creation of Ipsilon.

Seeing his fiery and eager gaze, Tang Fang shook his head and muttered, "At such an old age, his curiosity is still so full." On the one hand, he took out two "wisdom cores" that were put together and put them on the coffee table.

The "Zhixin" is unpretentious, unless Tang Fang shoots a high-energy electron beam to charge it, it is a dead thing with no characteristics.

Sunlight pours down from the window, spreading a layer of gold on the surface of the "Zhixin".

Philips's expression was a little weird, as if he was surprised and puzzled, and after a few breaths, he put down the coffee cup and said something that made Tang Fang dumbfounded: "I know where the third chip is." ”

"What did you say?" Tang Fang thought that he had misheard, he leaned in the direction of Philips, his eyes fixed on his eyes: "Do you know where the third chip is?" ”

Philips nodded very seriously: "If my memory has not fooled me." ”

At this time, Tang Fang couldn't sit still, and pinched the old businessman's shoulders: "Where is it?" ”

The first chip expands the barracks units of StarCraft Generation 1, the second chip expands the units of Generation 1 Heavy Factory, and so on, and this third chip naturally takes the turn of Generation 1 Starport units.

The Ghost Fighter and Valkyrie (Vagulay) are all extremely important naval combat units, not to mention the large ship-level mobile real room like the Science Ball.

Philips felt that Tang Fang had hurt him, and struggled hard, but the hands that held him shoulders were like iron tongs made of stainless steel. No matter how much he earned, it was useless, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Tang Fang, are you trying to pinch me to death?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry." The captain smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hands.

Philips shifted his shoulders and said, "If I'm not mistaken." The third chip was supposed to be in the showroom of the Duke of Congreve. ”

Tang Fang was slightly stunned: "Showroom? ”

"Yes, showroom, I remember one time when the drunken rose, the Duke opened his showroom to the guests for everyone to admire, and I happened to be there at the time, and I saw the fragment of 'Zhixin' in the glass case of one of the booths."

Tang Fang asked solemnly: "Are you sure that is 'Zhixin'?" ”

Philips stroked the purple texture on the surface of the "Zhixin" on the coffee table and said, "Can't be wrong!" ”

Duke Congreve, who was emotionally fond of collecting, regarded the fragments of "Zhixin" as antiques, and Tang Fang felt that God had played a big joke on him. In his opinion, the anonymous person codenamed "DEATH1024" excavated from Anthony was somewhat mysterious, and he once doubted whether he was in contact with "brother. Junior. It would be "related, or some other covert organization."

However, Philips's words were like cold water in an ice bucket, poured on his head at once, this matter was not as complicated as he thought, the third "wisdom core" was actually in the hands of the Duke of Congreve of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, and was invited into the showroom by the honorable Duke as an antique.

Tang Fang grimaced. The expression was not excited or sad.

"Is this important to you?"

Although the captain did not tell the purpose of the "Zhixin", from his facial expressions. Philips still sees some clues.

Tang Fang nodded: "Yes, it's very important." ”

When he said this, his expression was very firm, and cold light occasionally flashed in his eyes, like a quenched dagger.

Philips felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Tang Fang." Don't worry, leave the matter of the fragment of 'Zhixin' to me, and I will try to contact the Duke to see if he can cut his love and transfer." ”

The cold light in Tang Fang's eyes gradually converged, and his emotions also recovered from excitement: "Money is not a problem. ”

In fact, Philips knew that he was rich. I also know that he is the owner of the two complete Ipsisaurus ruins, but not everything in this world can be settled with money, Congreve is old, the more he lives, the more confused he becomes, and he is still an out-and-out old stubborn.

"What are you talking about?" Claire came over with two bottles of wine in her hand and shook it in front of the three of them: "Which one to drink?" ”

Philips smiled: "It's a big one." ”

…………

After eating lunch for nearly two hours, Philips and old Benny drank a lot, and they couldn't tell the north and south when they walked, it was obviously a bluestone road, and the two of them ran into the grass while walking, so Tang Fang had to order Bai Hao to drive the two back.

Irma chose to stay, Tang Fang was not surprised by this, maybe she would be more honest when she looked at Haosen, at least she could cause less trouble, and her ears could be quiet for two days.

Seeing off Philips and Benny Sr., Tang Fang left the hotel, took a shuttle back to the Morningstar, and used the ship's quantum communication equipment to have a short call with Byron, who was far away in the "Dillard" star system.

When he was done, he went to visit Freya again, drained the electricity she had accumulated in her body for days, so as not to cause any trouble, and in exchange, the captain promised to stay with her for a week after all the things were over.

Still didn't see Zhou Ai, since she knew that the captain was back, she locked herself in the dormitory, locked the door and didn't see anyone until Tang Fang left again.

…………

Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, and 7 days pass in the blink of an eye.

The Somar auction house has invested much more money and material resources in this auction than in the previous one, and advertisements for the two Epsilon ruins have flooded the sub-areas of the "Hanging Gardens".

From state dignitaries to ordinary people in the market, the hottest topics in the past few days have all revolved around the auction of two complete Epsilon relics, and ordinary people are most concerned about how high the price of these two relics will be, while the big names in the business and political circles have set their eyes on the back of the auction items, speculating about the intentions of the owners of the two Epsilon relics.

For example, the executives of companies such as "Iga Industrial" and "Ward Heavy Industries" have vaguely guessed the identity of the owner of the item, and then focus on a villa in the backyard of the Venice Hotel, and of course, the luxury car of the old Corey.

If the owners of the 10 remnants of the Epsilon and the 2 complete Epsilon Relics were someone else, they might be more cautious. Because no stupid hat would take out such a precious thing in exchange for a pile of waste paper, but if it was Captain Tang Fang, then it would be reasonable, everyone knew that the "Morning Star Casting" was very short of money now, and he needed to use the money to improve the space station, and continue to purchase mineral resources with higher and higher prices.

Under the joint oppression of the political and business circles. He had to do it, otherwise, there was only one option left to roll up and get out.

Mcdonald? Nelson, who is the head of the Iga Industrial's branch in Babylon, was glad to see the young man who had disgraced Iga Industrial's face in the Jakarta Pur star system reaped the consequences of his own misfortune, whipping drivers like Iga Industrial, Councilor O'Neill and Parliamentarian O'Neill to move forward step by step, for which he had not slept well for two days and two nights, and it had nothing to do with insomnia, he was so excited.

It's not just MacDonald. Malthus of "Ward Heavy Industries", Wang Xingyuan of "Black Thorn Shipbuilding", Smedley of "Eco-Sowopurna Group", ...... They think the same way. As the head of a heavy industry company, unless he is forced to a dead end, who will auction off the complete Epsilon ruins, these are priceless treasures.

"Boy, the water in the Tianchao Star Region is very muddy, and it's not something that anyone can drip if they want to." This is MacDonald's sentiment.

"Poor fellow...... "This is Malthus."

"The Morningstar is a good ship!" Wang Xingyuan did not express a similar cordial and friendly feeling because Tang Fang was a Han Chinese. Businessmen only have interests in their eyes, and many times even family affection is a bargaining chip.

Tang Fang did not know what the senior executives of the big enterprises in the "sky garden" were saying and saying about him. Taking a step back, even if you knew, I am afraid you would not care.

Old scalpers? I wish they had always thought so!

…………

On the day of the auction, the prices of cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals hit a new high, rising by 20% in just 10 days, and Tang Fang has long been numb to this. He felt that when the auction was over, maybe the price would go up again.

Of course, he didn't have time to worry about the price of minerals right now, and in the afternoon, according to the agreed time. Lead Grant and Claire to Starlight Building.

It's still the 18th floor, or the 12th private room, but the people inside have changed, not White? Davide, but Corey? Christian himself. It could be seen that he was very unhappy, sitting there like a Yaksha statue in the Tanah Lot Temple, with a thick cold aura emanating from his body, coupled with the dim lights from the ceiling, like the shooting scene of a horror movie.

Tang Fang knew why he was upset, so he stood in front of the door for a while, until the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed to the brightest moment, and then he stepped into the room.

The invisible light was like a storm, blowing away the same invisible darkness, the cold air hissed softly, and the sound of running water faintly came from the pool.

Claire's arrival filled the room with a faint fragrance, which became the last straw that overwhelmed Old Corey's mountain momentum. So the old fellow's silence froze on his face, and it seemed very unnatural, like the only dark cloud under a clear sky.

"Alas!" He sighed, a helpless smile on his lips.

"I know what you're complaining about." Tang Fang walked seven days ago White? Davide sat down in front of the single sofa he had sat on, stretched out his arms, gently rested on the soft armrests, and said slowly, "I'm for your own good." ”

Corey? Christian could see that the captain was not lying, and there was no reason to lie, but he didn't understand, where did the three words "for your good" come from, if he knew early on that Captain Tang had 2 complete Epsilon ruins to be auctioned in addition to the 12 pieces of Epsilon Ruins, those at the top of the board of directors would probably not be able to sit still.

This is good, the matter of "additional auction items" caught the old men on the board of directors off guard, because of the relationship of "Morning Star Casting", Tang Fang has made a lot of enemies in the territory of the Star Alliance, and the only one who can barely be called a friend is the "Rover Technology Consortium", since there is a lack of start-up capital, why don't you tell him Lao Cory? For the sake of these 2 complete Ipsisauron ruins, don't mention the money, even if it offends some high-ranking government officials.

But this guy is good, he directly handed over to the "Somar" auction house to operate, and hung him aside, such a big credit slipped out of his hands, can he not be depressed, can he not be aggrieved?

Today's auction is not like seven days ago, when almost all the characters with heads and faces in the "Hanging Garden" have arrived, not only the heads of branches of large military enterprises such as MacDonald, Malthus, Wang Xingyuan, and Smedley, but also the senior leaders of the embassies of some sovereign countries.

Ignoring the puzzled expression on Old Corey's face, Tang Fang smiled: "Judging from the current situation of 'Babylon', these two Ipsisaurus ruins are not so much treasures as hot potatoes. After speaking, he ignored him and turned his head to look at the big screen in the center.

The process is largely the same as the previous one, and the "Somar" auction first organized representatives of some large enterprises to go to the warehouse to check the integrity and authenticity of the Ipsiloon ruins, and then invited experts to comment on them. (To be continued......)
