When Qin Qing visited, Luo Ling was looking at a list of materials, which was personally sent by Bao Xi, listing the various products that Budweiser could provide, as well as the price details and preferential regulations. In addition, there is a supplementary document that details some items that are not covered by Budweiser and their quotations. Because it is an electronic document, it contains a large number of slide pictures, which is very vivid and comprehensive.

This is completely in accordance with Luo Ling's requirements, the first time to gather the sales information. Among them, it is mainly based on infrastructure raw materials, equipment and equipment, armor and weapon production equipment, and magic raw materials.

Infrastructure equipment and raw materials are the strategic materials that Luo Ling has reserved for his power territory. Although the territory has not yet been selected, and the manpower has just begun to be assembled and transformed, Luo Ling feels that these materials are now starting to prepare, and they can work slowly and carefully.

Base construction, after all, is not as simple as building three or five row houses, although the early stage is not greedy for the effect and too extravagant, but a strong foundation still has to be laid. As a result, the budget for materials is a large amount.

Luo Ling originally expected that he would use the derivative body controlled by him as labor, mining raw materials and building a walled city. Later, when I thought about it, he himself knew nothing about architecture in the first place, and it was difficult for a layman to command a group of fools who could only kill and build a solid large kennel, and if he wanted to build a base that was satisfactory to him, he would probably have to study the architect of the profession for a few years. The idea of this step is very immature.

At this time, Budweiser's products came into his sight. Biological brain mecha puppets, there are types specially used for engineering construction, these biological brains are instilled with formulaic architectural concepts, only need professional design drawings and enough raw materials and corresponding tools, they can build the base from scratch.

At a time when the population is seriously underpopulated and the productivity of ordinary survivors is relatively low, it is indeed of great significance to master such a construction army and make it possible to quickly open up the living area. But relatively, the price of the whole set of construction mecha is considerable, and there is a maintenance problem, the biological brain is very squeamish, and it needs a special nutrient solution and a dormant cabin, and the mecha puppet also needs enough spare parts, and it must be equipped with a special technical maintenance puppet. It's also a lot of money.

Magical raw materials are also a huge gap in demand, and it is not too much to say that it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Moggug's derivative transformation is not something that can be succeeded in the putrefaction liquid alone. Especially later, the more magical materials are needed, and considering that this world may not have the materials that Moggug needs, Luo Ling can only provide him with a detailed hodgepodge of materials, and let the old lich identify and choose alternative items with similar properties. Now, there are more than 10,000 kinds of magic materials available, and each of them must be provided in kind, and the possibility of consuming and replenishing due to experiments, as well as the cost of purchasing a large number of them after selection, so this category will be the most sustainable and distance to spend money.

In addition, the research needs of Mogguge cannot be delayed. There is no doubt that modern science and technology based on mathematics are much more sophisticated in terms of research precision and analysis than the study of ancient magic and ancient alchemy that can be tossed and turned without leaving a few bottles and jars. Even if it was just to share the research results of the old lich, Luo Ling felt that he needed to introduce a set of experiment-related equipment that he would not dare to say top-notch, but at least first-class.

Luo Ling is a layman in scientific research, but he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run, in the past, this kind of experimental research was a project that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was also a dollar. Now that the palladium is strong, it has to be tens of millions, and the money is absolutely impossible to spend.

As for the equipment for the production of weapons and armor, even if it is only a small, old-fashioned production line, it is frighteningly expensive. What's even more terrifying is that if you buy a car, you may not be able to raise a car. raw materials, which is also a big money item. Luo Ling made a simple estimate, not to mention the equipment of the intelligent derivation body at the captain level, according to the blue and blue, the lowest grade of armament in his mind, he raised two thousand derivative bodies, selected the raw materials for manufacturing, and lowered it by half a grade, he could save two to thirty million palladium costs. The cost of this can be seen.

Obviously, if you don't make some foreign money and night grass, and just rely on him to kill demonic beasts all over the world, it will definitely be the hardest mountain king in history, and relying on two hands to feed an army, this is an extraordinary test in itself.

"The poor can't afford to compete for power!" When Luo Ling looked at the price of materials, he naturally thought of such a sentence. This is still because he has an advantage in personnel, he doesn't have to worry about food, he doesn't have to worry about epidemics, physical discomfort, attrition, etc., and he doesn't have problems such as being instigated, demoralizing, and mutiny. It can be said that he is now operating the most foolish force building, but even so, he is still quite stressful.

"Hello, Luo Ling." Wearing a white high-necked corset brocade evening dress, the snow-skinned and smooth shoulders and backs are also hidden under the veil, noble and elegant like a goddess, Qin Qing's image is still so perfect.

Luo Ling nodded to this beauty and Han Xiaolu, who was like a maid lined by her aura, and made a gesture of invitation inward. didn't let Ruoyi watch the door, but greeted them in person, which can be regarded as an attitude.

chose a flower-style leisure living room, the two sides sat down, and the three daughters sent tea and desserts, and then avoided it very interestingly.

"Luo Ling, I didn't want to, but I still can't help but ask, are we friends?" Qin Qing looked directly at Luo Ling's gaze, and there was an indescribable brilliance in the brightness.

Luo Ling looked at Qin Qing with an indifferent expression, and said in a low voice: "If there are friends in the years I have spent since I came to Anshun Street, you are undoubtedly so." ”

"You mean, you've never treated us as friends?"

"For me, the word friend doesn't mean all warmth. It's my personality that I'm used to keeping my distance from everyone. ”

"When the other party is in danger, we don't hesitate to extend a helping hand, can't this reduce the defense line in your heart?" Han Xiaolu's voice trembled a little, compared to Qin Qing, her thoughts were simpler, because the resentment caused by Luo Ling's resignation was also more direct. In fact, what she wants to ask more is: What do you think of us? Can you be such a stinky fart if you are powerful?

Luo Ling didn't answer Han Xiaolu's question, he picked up a few teacups, glanced at the emerald green tea soup with the fragrance rising with the heat, and looked up and said, "Someone said to me, if you put aside your combat power, who will bend to flatter you?" You can likewise be nothing. I agree with this view. But 'if' is only hypothetical, never with reality, just like this tea soup, they are no longer tea and water, and they cannot be taken out separately. ”

Luo Ling took a sip and let out a breath, as if he was sighing at the fragrance of tea, and as if he was sighing at something else. "Why did we meet? Is it because I have an easy-going personality, a noble character, and an outstanding appearance? Neither, just because I'm so big. I am like a sharp weapon, and the only thing I can help others is the sharpness of the weapon. We are different people, and our intersection is accompanied by the collision of forces again and again, and my strength and your needs make you tolerate my withdrawn but sensitive temperament again and again, just like tolerating the cold and refreshing temperature of a sharp weapon. ”

Luo Ling put down the teacup, leaned over and said, "Although we are very acquainted, the essence of communication is still out of a need, and this need is obviously not emotional comfort. This is not love, but you are not necessarily inferior to the so-called friends. It allows me to run to the weakest of my weakest days, which in itself means a lot. Why use a term to define the relationship between each other? ”

"Aren't we good together? Do you have to live alone away from people? Han Xiaolu didn't listen to Luo Ling's reasoning, she just felt that Luo Ling was cold and unkind, and even with Xing Juan, they also lived a savage-like life with such a man.

"Please forgive me for being selfish." Luo Ling smiled softly, and his smile was a little dry. "Their deaths tell me that others want me to be a casual gun, and I just want to shoot as I wish. I want to be free, I want to be as myself as I can. To ensure my independence, I can't be controlled, whether it's emotional or whatever. ”

Han Xiaolu is silent, free, the thing that the word represents has never been simple. Human society is like a super clock, what is needed is a myriad of qualified parts and gears, and true freedom is a defective product that is not suitable, either changed or eliminated, or as Luo Ling is doing now, it becomes a conspicuous marginal existence that affects the overall appearance, and his future has only two options, to become another clock, or to be assimilated and become a key or dispensable part of this clock.

"Luo Ling, I'm not here to discuss rational things with you." Qin Qing said: "Not everything in this world is as complicated as you say, and our lives are not really that meaningful. Most people's lives are a kind of inertial movement, the sun rises and the sun sets, and there is no extra mind to study what the relationship between people is all about, and the rational thing is too heavy. Luo Ling, make yourself a little easier, and let your family be a little easier. People are inherently social, you know? You're running away, and even if there are 10,000 reasons, it won't change that fact. ”

"I'm just fighting." Luo Ling's eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance, it was the light of faith, at that moment, this man who looked a little premature aging no longer looked ordinary. "Once, I also asked more than once, Luo Ling, what are you tossing? Reconciled! There is no fairness in this world, you are at the bottom, you must have the consciousness of being oppressed, and your strength is facing pressure from the front, just like ants fighting mammoths. You're not playing against one person, you're playing against a group of people, a group of people who are high up, a group of people who have had great capital since birth. But if I accept my fate, I will die, and I can ignore the pain they inflict on me, but they care, they want to kill me like a maggot, and I just want to live. For this most basic wish, my family was killed, my friend stabbed me in the back, and I myself survived countless near-deaths. I lost everything but this life. If I want to live, I can't accept my fate, I can only revolutionize and change my own destiny and the destiny of others. There is no fairness, there is no justice, I will preside over it myself. In the simplest truth, the cycle of cause and effect, debts must be repaid. ”

Qin Qing sighed: "Your soul has been occupied by hatred. ”

Luo Ling didn't deny it, and said very directly: "Do you think that people like me who have experienced it will still have those positive things described in textbooks?" ”

Qin Qing was dumbfounded.

Han Xiaolu said very firmly: "Yes." It's just that it's not enough to bring us closer. ”

Luo Ling looked at Han Xiaolu, as if he was trying to find the ingredients in her expression, but he failed. "Li Xiao and Ren Zhengzhi, are they okay?"

Han Xiaolu's eyes were red, and she said in a low voice: "It's not good, Li Xiao lost his right arm, had limb transfer surgery, and added to the injury, if you want to recuperate, it is impossible to recover without four months." Even if he is cured, unless he spends more money to recuperate his injuries, he will only be able to serve as a teacher in the base or in an idle position in the future. Ren Zheng has not passed the dangerous period until now, and he still has his parents, son and younger brother to support at home......"

"What's the mission, it's like this?"

"Search and rescue Xuanyuan water."

Luo Ling closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. Some people are happy and some are worried, and the inextricably linked and intricate threads of fate make the existence of some people a variable that changes the fate of countless people. While he was enjoying the joy of victory, he had a good relationship, and the limited number of people who had attended his wedding had to endure terrible suffering and suffering.

However, Luo Ling couldn't return the Xuanyuan water, just like an abandoned baby thrown at someone's gate. He didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Xuanyuan family was among the targets of the attack, he used a sniper rifle, which was almost his exclusive signature, in the domain of Guang'an, there are only a handful of demon hunters who can use that kind of over-limit modified weapons, and there are even fewer people with that kind of combat power, he returned the Xuanyuan cold water, which is equivalent to directly announcing that it was him who took advantage of the fire to rob the three stacks of holes. The descendants of Xuanyuan and the Shenzhou Company will never let him go.

Of course, paper can't hold the fire, and sooner or later the truth will leak out. Luo Ling didn't expect the other party to be kept in the dark all the time, all he needed was some time, at least six months, when he could support himself, no need to be like now, lack of people and food, no way to do odd jobs for others, and even sell such valuable magic props.

took off a 50-cubic-meter space ring on his wrist and slid it from the coffee table to Han Xiaolu, "Think of a way to make their lives better in the future." ”

"No, how can we ......"

Luo Ling raised his hand and interrupted Han Xiaolu's shirk. "It's a little bit of my heart and my family. When I got married, there weren't many people who drank wine, and I hope they can all have a better life, at least not worry too much about money. ”

50 cubes, filled with most of the materials that Luo Ling had hunted since he explored and found the temporary lair, those ordinary goods, all of which he left behind, were ready to be used for camouflage when he went to other bases in the future, and the materials here were all high-value materials, and according to conservative estimates, they also exceeded three and a half million palladium. With Li Xiao and Ren Zhengcheng's current salary, they can't earn so much in two lifetimes.

"We're not here to complain to you and ask for money."

"I know, if it's a complaint asking for money, I'm embarrassed to use these to offset the life-saving account."

"What about the Space Ring?" A 50-cubic-cube ring of space, which in itself is a very expensive item. The Northern Region of Thunder and Fire, the bright side, and the space ring of the same level, are only one.

"You take it, leave some valuable things for yourself to defend yourself, you donate money and things to help the survivors, I know, but you also think about yourself a little. Whether it was in the past or now, it shouldn't be people like you who should really take money to save people. ”

"I ......" Han Xiaolu's eyes turned even redder.

"In my hometown, there is a saying that rich people are good people. The good reputation of winning the money for a restaurant to help someone is nothing in my opinion. Well, thank you on behalf of Li Xiao, Ren Zhengcheng and their families. ”

"Whew!" Han Xiaolu was amused by Luo Ling, how could there be such a thing, you can ask for words of thanks.

After that, the topics of conversation were relatively relaxed, all of which were to boo each other, talk about each other's recent situation, the feelings of coming here, and some content that did not touch the deep ** of both parties. And from beginning to end, Luo Ling acted as if Han Xiaolu was the main one, and Qin Qing was just accompanied.

Qin Qing is also very good at patience, always looking gentle and generous, and has not had any unhappiness due to being cold.

After chatting for an hour, thank you, and when Qin and Han were about to say goodbye and leave, Luo Ling said, "Han Xiaolu, Qin Qing and I have a few words to talk about alone." ”

Han Xiaolu glanced at Qin Qing, and after Qin Qing blinked and acquiesced, she took the first step to say goodbye and leave.

Luo Ling's face sank like water, and there was a palpitating light in his eyes as he looked at Qin Qing. "Qin Qing, please listen to me carefully."

For Luo Ling's expression and tone, Qin Qing felt very useless. "It's just that I was snubbed from beginning to end today, what kind of face is this now?" But Qin Qing still tried to show a smile: "Is there any misunderstanding between us?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Luo Ling didn't say anything, just looked at her fixedly.

"Well, I'll admit that you do have a bit of a quirky temperament. Tell me, I'll listen carefully. ”

Luo Ling nodded, "When everyone gets along, I try to avoid talking about some taboo topics." But today, when I saw Han Xiaolu dressed like that, I felt the need to say something. I'm not quite sure what exactly you're after, hatred, or a desire for power that continues from your father. Nor do I intend to dictate your pursuits. But please don't sacrifice these people I know well for some purpose. Make their lives happier, you can do it. I assure you that you will not regret such a decision. I'm a good person, and I'm not bad. People don't die, accounts don't rot, and what you owe will definitely be repaid to you. ”

Qin Qing smiled, "Luo Ling, if you are interesting to Xiaolu, I can help you say something." But you're too manly. It was a gown, like the suit you wear now, a ceremonial necessity. ”

Luo Ling looked straight at Qin Qing, his eyes were as sharp as a blade. Qin Qing didn't back down, her eyes were full of incomprehension, innocence, and inexplicability.

Luo Ling suddenly laughed. "Qin Qing, in fact, we are the same kind of people, we are here today, we all know what kind of capital we hold in our hands and what we want to get. We are for the sake of the goal, and even ourselves can be sacrificed. But we're different, I'm a real villain, and you're a hypocrite. I can laugh at my own badness with any malice, but you have to wear a mask even when you face yourself. You are so unfortunate because you live more painfully than I do. ”

Syllable! A crisp slap in the face. After that, it was not Luo Ling who was stunned, but Qin Qing, she looked at the hand she was still holding, and didn't believe that it was herself who beat Luo Ling just now. This slap was slapped in Luo Ling's face, but it slapped her own heart. What Luo Ling pointed to, she was tantamount to admitting.

Syllable! Another crisp slap, this time it was Luo Ling who slapped him. Qin Qing's pink left cheek was flushed. "This slap is because we are also acquaintances. Wake up beauty, not all men are horses under your skirt, your 'women conquer men, men conquer the world' theory is changed. Or, don't cast such a 'spell' on me. ”

Qin Qing left, and she was a little depressed. Luo Ling's attitude is already very clear, cooperation is okay, at least there is a familiar relationship that has not been torn, but Luo Ling is not a Kaizi, a few ambiguous words, a few flattering eyes or bumps can work hard, not to mention where to fight.

By the time Luo Ling went to the exhibition, it was still a little late. Most of the guests had already gone to the large exhibition hall on the ground floor, because there were a lot of weapons involved, so the shooting range was prepared, and the little space in the World Trade Building was obviously not enough to see.

The exhibition is divided into several categories, covering almost everything from magical technology to battle mechs, covering almost everything about the lives of contemporary survivors. Luo Ling didn't have any interest in magic slaves, indoor magic lighting, condensation soft beds, etc., and his focus was on preparing the actual equipment to be purchased. Holding the electronic information book in his hand, what Luo Ling wanted to know was the gap between the literal description, the data listing and the actual function.

Passing by the mecha exhibition area covering an area of dozens of acres and the dome of the venue is as high as 10 meters, Luo Ling saw a large booth surrounded by a lot of people, the banquet is over, Budweiser has prepared a comfortable and fitting sweatshirt for each guest, these clothes using the latest nanotechnology, equipped with a telescopic adjustment device, they can directly become a temporary replacement for combat uniforms, if anyone is interested in the on-site test drive mecha, then directly put on the driving suit.

A group of exhibitors wearing special sweatshirts, in this huge underground space with walls all impact-resistant, burn-resistant, sound-insulating and absorbent materials, look like men and women undergoing a space agency liftoff training course.

The company's grandeur and strength are indeed extraordinary, from some small details such as the personal habits of guests, to the design and layout of underground gnabs like this, which everywhere reflects the leading advantages of technology, capital, materials, and manpower. Even a layman like Luo Ling can feel the company's strong scientific and technological heritage from this place with a strong sci-fi atmosphere like being in a Star Wars base. The ground, wall panels, portals, lamps, booths, exhibits, and a full range of advanced materials and layouts have created this ultra-modern science fiction atmosphere. Moreover, its exhibits complement the environment, which can also be described as a dream product.

Luo Ling knew from Bao Xi that the mecha was the pillar product of Budweiser, and in this field, Budweiser had the highest say. Bio-brain series, I series, hybrid series, unmanned driving series, and construction and activation series...... Budweiser's core technology development team used to be an international research institution integrating multidisciplinary research fields such as mechanics, mechanics, electronics, biology, computer, artificial intelligence and systems engineering. After merging the ancient and mysterious discipline of magic, the research bottleneck was broken, and the core technology development team achieved a number of highly compelling research results, and naturally, they were acquired by an economic group, thus giving birth to what would become Budweiser.

The engineering mecha that Luo Ling wants to purchase is also a category of mecha series products. Although the exhibition area was not here, Luo Ling still slowed down and listened attentively. I felt something interesting, so I went too.

In front of the large booth, a man with glasses dressed in a black waist-cinching black suit, meticulous hair grooming, and elite style is standing in front of a three-meter-high mecha to talk about the product.

“…… Look at this guy, how does it feel to have the perfect combination of magic and technology? Osamu Idezuka's antique machine? It doesn't matter, if you feel the need for it, you can make it a smaller version of one of the Autobots, and we recommend it to everyone that has its core, not its appearance. Fur can only determine whether it looks pretty, but I don't think many of you plan to open a mech theme park, so let's pay more attention to its core, after all, a good engine, a motor, determines whether it's a pile of scrap metal or King Kong. ”

The man in glasses jumped to a nearby booth, where a metal engine resembled a hiking bag, glowing with a sparkling metallic sheen in the incandescent light. "Pangu Type VI magic energy power furnace, a masterpiece of the energy revolution, a piece of energy festival the size of a mobile phone battery, can drive a 10-ton body to dance all day long." As he spoke, the man with glasses picked up a slender test tube on the table, "In the past, some people thought that it would be nice if we could burn seawater as gasoline." Today, the idea has come true. He held up the test pipe: "Here, it is processed through seventeen layers - water." It is already an energy source that can be used for Pangea Type VI., and what I call the energy node is the condensation of this water. Well, let's see, what a drop of water can do. ”

A drop of 'water' was fed into the small power furnace through the demonstration device, and the indicator lights of the power furnace were all lit up, and in the slight mechanical sound, the converted energy was released through a magic light spray, and the magic light as thick as a bucket rushed straight to the dome, and the incandescent edge of the magic light with cyan light was like a pillar of thunder, which was extremely spectacular.

"Oh......" the people let out a cry of admiration or surprise.

The magic light lasted for a full two minutes before it gradually disappeared. At this time, the man with glasses had already run to another booth, and the booth was placed with a metal hand, the size of a small square table, the production was not very fine, it could only be said that there was no missing welding where it should be welded, and there were no burrs where it should be polished.

"In the past, everyone lamented the greatness of technology, but now, we see more and more magic." The man with glasses held a small controller, pressed the button, and the giant metal hand began to make various movements, clenching his fists, stretching out his fingers, grabbing, and even dragging the big iron hand with his fingers to crawl.

"Look, this is the magic of magic, if it were to deal with the same complex actions by scientific means, we would need countless drives, neroids, cables, I controls, but now, all it takes is a magic array, embedded, inductive, or whatever, and everything is realized."

Jumping back in front of the mech, the man in glasses continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not denying science, but I'm just saying that, in a way, we've made up for the lack of technology with the perfection of magic. Many of the technical problems that have been bothering us have been overcome and solved, and a new era has arrived. ”

"Well, these boring things are also very professional, and it is better to throw these things that are closely related to development and development to the experts. Let's focus on the more realistic issues. All of you are pioneers in the field of application, and now, we provide you with a promising, high-performance, stable and practical operating platform, which is T, the technology magic mecha. A combination of the two, bam! Chemical reaction! ”

"I thought it was an explosion!" One of the exhibitors said below:

The crowd laughed.

"Explosion?" The man in glasses didn't seem to mind such a disruptor at all, he picked up an energy-ray heavy weapon from under the display case on the side, and shot at the mecha in the surprised eyes of everyone.

Until the energy bomb ran out, he threw the weapon at will, walked to the mecha, pointed to the bullet hole that was recovering, and said to everyone: "Another new technology, memory metal, when it is damaged and damaged by an irresistible injury, the damaged and deformed part will quickly return to its original state. Memory metal is superior to liquid metal, as it is impossible for ordinary bullets to damage it. As for the explosion, I have to say that our product is much less critical than you think, and if it weren't for the intention of letting it swim in lava, the probability of an explosion would not be higher than 1%. ”

……

The product exhibition is still ongoing, and the exhibitors are also very interested in such a vivid explanation by the man with glasses. However, Luo Ling had to leave this interesting place first, because Bao Xi came and told him that Budweiser had already replied about the bid for the whole set.
