Soon the limousine drove into the restricted area and stopped in front of a small villa. Lin Zaishan got out of the car first, and very gentlemanly He Anne and Chu Yanjiao opened the car door. He Annie ran two steps into the villa, and then greeted him with He Xiaotian.

"Our brave and fearless Captain Lin, the hero of the new provincial city, welcomes you!" He Xiaotian greeted very warmly.

"Dear Mr. He, it is a great honor to be able to receive your banquet." Lin Zaishan is a highly educated person after all, and the due etiquette still needs to be talked about.

A few people entered the restaurant and divided the guests and hosts. He Xiaotian sat in the main seat, Lin Zaishan sat in the guest seat, and He Annie accompanied the two. Chu Yanjiao also wanted to sit on it, but He Xiaotian waved his hand at her and said, "Yanjiao, the office is still empty, you will be on duty for me." Notify me as soon as there is an emergency. ”

Chu Yanjiao didn't show the slightest displeasure on her face, bowed slightly, turned around and left the restaurant.

"Xiaolin, there are no outsiders today, so let's have a happy lunch. The so-called family does not speak two words, if you have anything to say, don't be restrained. ”

"Thank you, Mr. He!"

"Just call me Uncle He, Mr. He seems too raw."

"Okay. Then I'll be polite, Uncle He. ”

"That's what it looks like."

He Annie was very happy to see that Lin Zaishan was not only polite but also not very outside.

Then the servant came and set the wine and filled everyone's glasses. A strong aroma of wine came to the nose and was intoxicating.

"Huh? What a fragrant liquor! Lin Zaishan praised.

He Xiaotian introduced: "This is a 20-year-old high-grade liquor, and basically there are not a few bottles left after the end of the world. I am a person with a temperament, and I don't like to get some foreign wine to invite people to dinner, and I will suffer from the sin of saving face there; I prefer to invite people to drink the baijiu that has been passed down from our ancestors for generations, which is not only fragrant but also powerful. ”

Lin Zaishan said: "I like to drink liquor. A cup of belly, twelve points of pleasure! ”

He Annie said: "Shanshan, you won't be a drunkard, right?" ”

"I also want to be an alcoholic, but unfortunately I've always been a poor dick and can't afford to drink good wine."

"Don't say anything bad about yourself in the future, you are now a handsome and dashing handsome guy, one of the few big names in the new provincial city, and a hero admired by tens of thousands of people." He Annie persuaded, "Otherwise, Dad won't let you eat on an equal footing with him." ”

"So, do I have to be grateful to Dade?"

"Xiaolin, don't listen to Anne's nonsense." He Xiaotian said with a smile, "We are all a family, don't say anything outside." After a pause, he continued: "Anne is right about one thing, though: I really admire you! You're the most amazing lad I've ever met. Anne is lucky to know you. ”

Lin Zaishan said without reflection: "It is also my luck to meet Anne. ”

He Annie's face suddenly smiled like a flower.

I only heard Lin Zaishan continue: "If it weren't for Anne's help, selflessly providing weapons, ammunition, armor, aerial reconnaissance and information support in all aspects, I don't know how many times I would have died." ”

He Annie smiled: "You are not allowed to say anything about whether you are dead or not." I help because I like it. ”

He Xiaotian was very happy when he saw that the two of them got along closely and harmoniously, so he asked, "Xiaolin, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Lin Zaishan said: "Now that the post-apocalyptic environment is becoming more and more difficult, I hope to develop a survival skills system as soon as possible to improve the survivability of survivors." If we continue with the current situation, we may be completely eliminated in a few years, or even a few months. ”

He Xiaotian said solemnly: "You are right, I have been worried about this matter recently. Do you have any good ideas and ideas? ”

"My thinking is very simple, that is, you have to grasp both technology and ability, and both hands must be hard."

"Oh? What kind of technology do you think is better? ”

"Judging from the experience of fighting with wolves, corpses, rats and post-apocalyptic player clubs in the past, I personally think that there are two main types of technologies to focus on at the moment: one is the research and development and manufacturing of new mechas; The second category is the scientific and industrial utilization of crystals. ”

He Xiaotian "snapped" and applauded a few times, and praised: "It is worthy of the person I He Xiaotian admires!" Xiaolin, you actually see the same thing as my hero. ”

"I also want to ask Uncle He for more guidance."

"Kobayashi, our overrun military industry has already started the development of mecha before the end of the world, and since the end of the world, on the basis of the original research, we have successfully launched two mechas, one is a meat grinder, and the other is a butcher. I think you've seen them in action. ”

"Yes, these two mechs are indeed very good, and if it weren't for them, the mission of this corpse poison antidote test site would not have been completed."

"Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved on these two mechs?" He Xiaotian asked with great interest.

"I think there are four things that need to be improved." Lin Zaishan analyzed them one by one: "The first is the energy system of the mecha. Both mechs use super-charged batteries, which consume a lot of power to charge. And we are now generally severely deficient in electrical energy, especially when fighting in the wilderness. This is followed by the mecha's communication system. The full performance of the two mechs is based on the developed real-time data transmission network, but due to the paralysis of the communication network after the end of the world, their combat power cannot be fully utilized. The third is that the attack methods of the mecha are relatively simple, and they basically still imitate the mode of individual combat. In fact, mechs can do a lot of actions and things that go far beyond human beings, and I think we should make full use of this to make the mecha's attack methods and abilities more diverse. ”

"I actually said three questions in one breath, and all of them were in place, Xiaolin, you are really not simple. So, what needs to be improved in the fourth point? ”

Lin Zaishan said: "The fourth point may only be relative to me. When I'm using the Butcher Mech, I always feel like it's not reacting at my pace, and it's about 40% slower than I'd expected it to be. ”

"What? It's so much slower? Anne Ho was obviously a little unconvinced, "Why don't I feel any lag when I use it?" ”

"That's because your speed ability is not as strong as Kobayashi's." He Xiaotian said, "Xiao Lin represents the top master of our new provincial city, and his feelings tell us that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the reaction speed of the mecha. ”

"Dad, Shanshan, in fact, the improvement of the mecha's reaction speed is the easiest to do. Each mech is designed and produced with fixed reaction time parameters. We set the threshold according to the limit of the reaction time of ordinary humans, and if you want to increase the reaction speed of the mecha, you only need to shorten the reaction time threshold even more. ”

Lin Zaishan asked in surprise, "Is this true?" How about we set it up after dinner? ”

"No problem, you can say whenever you want."

"Xiaolin, I have heard your wonderful exposition on mechas, what are your thoughts and suggestions on the scientific and industrial utilization of crystals?"

"I usually take crystals orally like jelly beans at most, and I really don't think carefully enough about the scientific and industrial utilization of crystals. However, I have seen people make lights out of crystals. Since lights can do it, then it can definitely do something else. ”

He Xiaotian asked in surprise, "Wait, Xiaolin, you said to take the crystals orally like jelly beans?" ”

"That's right."

"And how many crystals have you taken orally so far?"

"There are not hundreds, there are dozens." Lin Zaishan replied nonchalantly.

"OMG!" He Xiaotian shocked the heavens, "Xiaolin, do you know that overdose on crystals is dead?" ”

"Of course, but I have a way to take it safely."

He Xiaotian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but after all, he had strong self-control, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and made a color to He Annie.

He Annie asked, "Dear Shanshan, can you tell me how to take crystals safely?" ”

The father and daughter of the He family stared at Lin Zaishan intently, for fear that he would talk to him left and right. Who knew that Lin Zaishan replied indifferently: "Of course." But before I tell you, let me state that this is only what works for me personally, and not necessarily for others. ”

"Okay, I know, you can just say it."

"Annie, I've been bitten by a Level 3 zombie once, and you know that." Lin Zaishan said: "At that time, I was trapped in the bunker and thought that I was going to die, but then I gritted my teeth and took two crystals, and inadvertently recited the mantra 'Hum Rui Xi Natu', and the corpse poison on my body disappeared. Since then, I have been taking crystalloid occasionally. I found that as long as you maintain a compassionate state of mind, it will be safer to take crystals, in other words, people with good hearts are more likely to take crystals safely. ”

He Xiaotian asked, "You mentioned the mantra, do you have to recite that mantra to take the crystal?" ”

"Not necessarily. As long as you maintain a compassionate state of mind, you can take it. I've tried that spell several times, but it only works for me, not for others. ”

"Well, what you said inspired me a lot." He Xiaotian asked with great interest, "Xiaolin, I believe that you are the kind of person who will not easily superstitious about transcendent powers. Can you tell me what I think of mantras or compassionateness? ”

"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I haven't done a lot of scientific research, so it's hard for me to give an answer that is consistent with scientific understanding. My conjecture is that a spell is a password to achieve a certain operation and function, and crystals, etc., are the material basis for the spell to work. As for the fact that it is easier to take crystallography safely in a compassionate state of mind, I suspect that it may be related to certain physiological substances secreted by the human body in this state of mind. I repeatedly state that this is just my conjecture and there is no scientific evidence. ”

He Xiaotian nodded and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the servant began to serve the food. He Annie reminded He Xiaotian and Lin Zaishan to eat first and then chat.

The meal was quite delicious and the three of them chatted very happily.

Lin Zaishan said: "I remembered a question: The Apocalyptic Players Club has already issued a hunt and kill order to Uncle He, do you already have a countermeasure?" ”

He Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I'm ready to do a lot of things." Make sure they come and go. ”

Lin Zaishan said: "I don't understand one thing, why did the Apocalyptic Gamers Club make you the number one assassination target?" Could it be that there is some grudge between Uncle He and them? ”

He Xiaotian smiled coldly and said, "Xiaolin, I didn't treat you as an outsider, and it doesn't hurt to tell you one thing: long before the end of the world, the end of the world players club tried to recruit me. At that time, I heard that they claimed to have mastered military technology that was ahead of its time, so I decided to make a false accusation and take advantage of this technology. So, I helped them do a lot of shady things, earned enough points, and then they asked me to choose one from a given menu as a reward. ”

"Oh? What menus did they offer you at the time? ”

"At that time, there were only five items to choose from: the first was stealth skills; The second is the transformation skill; the third is the two-in-one of strength and speed; the fourth is animal control; The fifth is electromagnetic perception. ”

"And what did you choose?" Anne Ho asked.

"The fifth of these five options, electromagnetic perception, is the most expensive, requiring 80,000 points, and I just enough, so I chose it without hesitation. Actually, I didn't believe it at all in my heart, but in order to win the trust of the Gamer Club of the Last World, I had to complete the deal. Who knows, so much happened on the day of the meteorite landing, and I didn't even bother to go to the designated trading location and lose contact with the Apocalyptic Gamer Club. Later, Du Ziming came to the new provincial city and announced the establishment of the Southwest Provinces Apocalyptic Players Club, and I maintained a respectful attitude. ”

Lin Zaishan said: "It is not difficult to see from Du Ziming, Night Cat and others that these abilities are real. In other words, the Gamer Club of the Last Ages really has the knowledge to actively acquire abilities, which in their hands are like apps that VIP users can download for a fee. ”

"Let's not mention this post-apocalyptic player club." He Xiaotian said, "Xiaolin, in view of such a dangerous living environment right now, my uncle has a favor and wants you to help, what do you think?" ”

"What's the rush? Tell me as much as you like. ”

"I used the new technology to train a few personal guards, and they cost me a lot of time, energy, mind and resources, and I was curious to know how capable they were." He Xiaotian pressed a certain button on his watch, and soon Xiang Hongying, the chief of internal affairs in the forbidden area, came to the restaurant with 4 men dressed in plain clothes.

Lin Zaishan could clearly feel the powerful life energy emanating from these four big men without activating the aura energy scan, and this energy was even stronger than the mutated Professor Gou. And the four big men all stood behind He Xiaotian with no one in their eyes, as if Lin Zaishan was an ant.

He Xiaotian smiled: "Xiaolin, I want you to guide the four of them, do you think it's okay?" ”

He Annie said angrily: "Dad, you are inviting Lin Zaishan to dinner, not to fight." ”

Lin Zaishan stopped He Annie and said with a smile: "I just ate and drank enough, and I just had a fight to move my legs and feet, which can also promote digestion." ”

He Xiaotian smiled without saying a word, and the picture of these four big men tearing apart the water monster with their bare hands came to mind.
