Chapter 37: The Prime Minister
"You're already in touch?" Qi Ye glanced at V, and then asked Xue Qiong.
"Nope." Xue Qiong and V shook their heads at the same time, and then Xue Qiong said, "Then Mr. V, mind it, how did you keep up with us?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey..."V sat on the armrest of the sofa familiarly, "I can smell anyone who is against the Empire, I can smell it with my nose..."
Qi Ye and the monkey seemed to be shocked, and even the Monkey King kept asking questions with a curious face, but Xue Qiong and the three of them were still calm, and at the same time, with different smiles, but all of them had the same meaning, staring at V's Mao-Ze-Dong mask. Because in the field of crime, including Xue Qiong himself, they are all very confident in Xue Qiong's ability, and at the same time, they also believe that since they can get rid of the people of the empire, there will definitely be no guy who can track them down for so long.
"Okay, okay!" V spread out his hand, "Dr. Qi Ye, and... Mr. Monkey, do you remember that trip to the zoo? ”
Although the Monkey King's reaction is often a little slow, it is definitely not stupid, "I just said, why are there some teeth in the bananas that day..."
"Bugging?!" Qi Ye's eyes widened, and then he preached to the Monkey King with hatred: "And isn't that a banana?!" It's all teeth, do you think it's normal? And you can still swallow it?! ”
The monkey innocently asked, "What is a bugging?" ”
After everyone present tried hard to make the monkey understand what a bug was, V went on to explain: "That time, Dr. Qi Ye claimed that this was an animal behavior experiment commissioned by someone to conduct monkeys in and out of cages... At that time, our people also believed it, and because Dr. Qi Ye had some interesting insights into those plagues, we predicted that you would get a high position in the Imperial scientific community, so we wanted to bury a secret chess piece in advance and put it on your 'pet'. But we didn't expect that this was the case, and that the move had an effect that we didn't expect..."
After V told the cause and effect of chasing them, Xiao Yun straightened her cute little nose, looked at Qi Ye and the monkey proudly and said, "I'll just say that it's definitely not a senior's problem!" Seniors are the best! In every sense! ”
This time, even a thick-skinned person like Xue Qiong coughed twice before asking, "Then what is the purpose of your choice to contact us today?" ”
"Just to get acquainted." V said in a calm tone, "To be honest, since I bombed the Nanjing Presidential Palace, you are the only ones who have really made such a big deal... It was hundreds of officials, nobles, and underground merchants, and their death would have a great impact on the situation of the entire empire. ”
"Strictly speaking, it was just an accident. But then what? Xue Qiong knew that V's words were not finished.
"So, I'd like to ask you—" V straightened his seat, "did you have any ideas for us?" I'm not talking about subordination, but about a loose alliance that assists each other and achieves a certain goal together... In fact, I'm in this kind of relationship with all the people I've been in touch with, I'm just a matchmaker. ”
"Boss..."The bald head who had been sitting quietly on the side couldn't help but complain at this time, "This is a little familiar, haven't you always described yourself like this?" Matchmaking..."
Xue Qiong waved her hand, "A mutually beneficial relationship, such a role is always needed." But V, what do you mean by 'a certain purpose' that you want to achieve together? ”
Hearing this, V opened his hands and said in a slightly fanatical tone: "Change this world!" At least let everyone be reminded of the concepts of 'equality' and 'freedom', and then there will be no more exploitation, no more oppression, and everyone who is willing to enjoy their freedom to think can do what he wants..."
"Okay!" Xue Qiong waved his hand, "I don't need to go on, in fact, I think you are more suitable for you than to be a revolutionary, a genius criminal and a terrorist... But it's very much to my appetite. Go on, how are you going to change the world? ”
V shrugged, "Just like you guys are going to do, destroy the Heavenly Palace." ”
"Oh?" Xue Qiong raised her eyebrows, "In this way, we do have the possibility of cooperation..."
"Wait, wait!" The monkey interjected again at this time, "I know the Heavenly Palace, it's the Heavenly Palace, right?" Where does the emperor live? That home called Jiang Shi... But why do you have to do it? Is it really that important? ”
So in order to cover up the fact that "his purpose in destroying the Heavenly Palace is only to destroy itself", Xue Qiong began to instill all kinds of knowledge into the monkeys, including political concepts, human ways of thinking, and the symbolism of this matter.
V's attention to the monkey and Qi Ye didn't seem to be high, because he learned from the eavesdropping device in the monkey's body that today's incident didn't seem to be led by them at all, but just coincidentally started, and if it weren't for the intervention of Xue Qiong and his party, this person and a monkey would probably die directly in the casino. In the end, the reason why he chose to contact these four people and one monkey was actually just to contact Xue Qiong and them.
But Xue Qiong and his entourage seemed to care about the appearance of this monkey... So he had to take Xue Qiong's rather reasonable nonsense and try to get this monkey to join the plan. And after he faced the Monkey King, he suddenly remembered that there are all kinds of animals in Huaguo Mountain, whose intelligence has been greatly improved, and if he can win over the Monkey King, maybe these intelligent animals can also play a miraculous role in the plan after training.
Thinking about it like this, V was impressed by Xue Qiong's foresight, but he would never know that Xue Qiong had only one reason why they cared about the monkey, that is, because this monkey was the protagonist, and in order to complete the main line of this "Steel Heavenly Palace" world, Xue Qiong thought that if he stood on the side of the protagonist, the possibility of success would be much greater.
"No, no, no! You've made me stunned! After listening to a tirade, the monkey began to scratch his head with his paws again, "Let the prime minister decide!" Qi Ye, what kind of Shiping did you use last time..."
"It's a video!" Qi Ye corrected the Monkey King as he took out a laptop from his bag.
"Oh? Isn't it Apple's apple? ”
After a few minutes of operation, the face of the monkey prime minister appeared on the screen, although no one present except Qi Ye could tell the difference between the two monkeys...
"What's wrong?" The prime minister adjusted the camera, and the background was a large forest in the morning light, "Is something wrong?" And why is it late over there... Oh, it's because of what you told me about the relationship between the earth and the sun, and the earth turns, right? ”
[Successfully interact with the protagonist of this world: "Prime Minister" for the first time, and reward 540 points.] 】
"It's called jet lag." At the same time that Xue Qiong and the three of them received the beacon prompt, Qi Ye casually took the question, and then turned to V and said, "You come and talk to him, in our kingdom, he is the one who really has the ability to make decisions." ”
"What does it mean that he is the one who really has the ability to make decisions?" The Monkey King was a little unhappy, "I'm the king, okay!" Monkey king! The Monkey King! ”
"No, no matter what advice I make, it's the Monkey King who decides whether to do it or not." The on-screen Prime Minister reiterates the matter of principle, and then asks V, "So, you are the V who has done a lot of great things in humanity lately?" And also came into contact with Qi Ye and the Monkey King? ”
V, Xue Qiong and the others only listened to the few words that the prime minister had already said, and they thought of a lot of things in their hearts.
This monkey known as the "Prime Minister", at least in terms of thinking mode and logical thinking ability, is much stronger than the Monkey King, and even surpasses most humans, and the time it takes for it to acquire thinking and language skills is only a week ago...
For example, let's say there's a person who only knows that the Earth is spinning, has access to a computer in just a day or two, and video chats with someone on the other side of the planet... Could he have figured it out before he even finished his question?
It sounds like a very simple inference, even if it is an ordinary person, it is easy to understand after some thought, but in this situation, normal human beings are more surprised and incomprehensible than just questioning. This is not the case with the Prime Minister's mindset, he is used to thinking and has the ability to draw conclusions in a very short time... It's much scary.
"Hello." After thinking about a lot of things in a short period of time, V politely greeted the prime minister on the screen, "Forgive me for being negligent, may I ask what the full name of your kingdom is..."
"Huh?" The prime minister actually sneered, "Although we really haven't thought about it yet, does that matter?" The full name of the empire is the Great Chinese Empire, but we are still used to calling it the empire directly. And the reason why we call ourselves kingdoms is only to think of it as a concept that is different from the empire, but equal in status... Or can I interpret this question as a mockery of yours? ”
"Well, I apologize for this rude behavior." Some of them were inexplicably deflated, and V was not annoyed, because the prime minister really said part of it... And after an insincere apology, V continued, "I want to invite you, and your kingdom, to accomplish something together that will change our world. ”
"I don't understand the truth." The Prime Minister interrupted V's words, and at the same time actually lit a cigarette, "You tell us the details first, and what you need us to do, and what we can get..."
