Chapter One Hundred and Seven

Ugo quietly retreated in desperation, the momentum of the pursuers suddenly weakened a lot, the chase became only a formality, and under the leadership of Anson, the mercenary group returned to the camp without any danger.

On the way to retreat, the task list changed, and both missions were originally waiting to be confirmed, but now the mission to assassinate Ansenando was confirmed, and the mission to assassinate Aturu was judged to be a failure.

Yao Jia was sure that the prey he hit would definitely die, so the stand-in became the only explanation, since Kamiao City was a trap carefully laid by the rebels, it was normal for Arturu to be an imposter as a bait.

Even so, the successful killing of Ansenando is worth celebrating, especially since this is a record obtained by falling into a trap in advance and improvising, and there are still zero casualties.

At Anson's suggestion, the mercenary group found a decent tavern to celebrate.

"Although there were some twists and turns along the way, and there were misunderstandings, we completed the task after all, so let's have a drink first." Anson raised his glass heroically, what he wanted was an unknown spirit, orange and yellow in color, with a very strong taste, which belonged to the specialty of Xiu Nanxing, and the mercenaries were not picky about the quality of the wine, as long as they could get drunk.

Chen Fang hid in the corner and didn't touch the wine glass on the table, originally he didn't drink, but there have been a lot of good things recently, and it's okay to try it when celebrating. Although the broken arm was no longer in serious trouble after treatment, the paralyzed finger would take forty hours to recover, and he could not hold the cup at all now, even if he was a little tempted, he did not want to make a fool of himself, not to mention that he had little interest in wine in the first place.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you are not in good health, and you can't take care of yourself recently." Anson's ill-intentioned explanation, his tone and smile did not feel sorry.

"I don't drink alcohol in the first place, didn't I say I want to rest? Why come to this kind of place. Chen Fang didn't want to deal with him, so he turned his head, but saw the wine glass handed by Linnie hanging in the air.

Linnie was cold to Chen Fang on the surface, but she was secretly concerned, she was clear about his injuries, and knew that his hands were not convenient, so she helped him pick up the cup, with her usual personality, she must have experienced a psychological struggle. Who knew that Chen Fang didn't know, and he was thinking about raising the bar with An Xun, and actually said that he didn't drink.

There was an awkward silence for a while, and then Anson laughed: "This is resting, why don't you go back to sleep if you don't celebrate." I heard Susan say that you don't drink a drop of alcohol, I didn't believe it at the time, how can there be a mercenary who doesn't drink? I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Thunderbee was also full of surprise: "This is impossible, didn't you drink with Susan all night, is it a lie?" ”

The implication couldn't be clearer, since you don't drink, what were you two doing that night, Chen Fang couldn't say a spade, and told him that he was drinking with a woman that night, and he drank water all night, and no one believed it when he said it, so he had to smile bitterly.

Why do mercenaries like to drink, I'm afraid I can't find a unified answer, perhaps, there is too much helplessness in this industry, alcohol is needed to anesthetize, and every time you escape death, it is worth celebrating indulgently.

However, when it comes to cheering, even Linni and Yao Jia picked up the glass, and they drank it still as spirits, which can be seen.

Huo Niu shook his head regretfully: "To be honest, you are good at everything, but you are a little sissy, could it be that men in the empire are like this?" ”

When it comes to the dignity of men, Chen Fang asked: "When have I ever been a sissy?" ”

Knowing that he was speechless, the fire bull added ironically: "You don't have to say anything about fighting, it's called a fierce one, but as a man, drinking must be the same as fighting, you have to be fierce enough." ”

The thunderbolt bee laughed secretly, this sentence is used very frequently, maybe it won't be long before the people are familiar, and the fire bull will say that the fool should be as fierce as when fighting.

Anson solemnly affirmed the fire bull's statement: "Having said that, drinking is a thought, I haven't heard that drinking can kill you, at most it's just that you're drunk and uncomfortable, and the mercenaries are still afraid of this?" Don't make me look down on the men of the Empire. Otherwise, you don't treat us as friends. You're a cadet of the Imperial Academy, don't you look down on us mercenaries? ”

What a big hat! Isn't it just a glass of wine? It was amazing to be able to derive so much content, and Chen Fang looked at the magical liquid with curiosity. The ghost believes their nonsense, but the wine is the same to drink, no one can give face, the wine handed by Linny must be drunk, and she has been taken care of a lot these days.

"So, the dignity of the men of the empire is in this glass of wine?" Chen Fang's little humor was regarded as finding a step for himself, but no matter how he covered it up, others could see through the difference between the two. What kind of person is Linni, it is a big face to invite her to drink, let alone do this kind of thing, and Chen Fang, how can she live up to the beauty's wishes.

Several male companions nodded thoughtfully, while Yao Jia waited with interest.

In the end, Chen put it in the slender hand and tasted the first sip of wine in his life.

At first, his lips touched the edge of the cup, but his mouth was hot, and this feeling reminded Chen Fang of the owner of his little hands.

It would be embarrassing to feed a man to drink in public, so Linnie didn't have the patience to wait for him to taste it slowly, and poured the wine into his mouth as if she was angry.

The spicy feeling almost made tears flow out, and people who drank for the first time inevitably felt uncomfortable, not to mention the special liquor made by Xiu Nanxing, or it was poured into the mouth.

Retribution, who told herself to make Linni wait too long, after all, she is an iceberg beauty, and she took the initiative to hold a wine glass for herself, this is her limit, she actually said that she would not drink, didn't that embarrass her?

If you let others know what he thinks, I'm afraid that I will vomit blood on the spot, isn't it just drinking, and there are iceberg beauties to serve, and it is too late for others to envy him, just look at the eyes of Anson and others.

When the liquor is poured into the stomach, the taste is not pleasant, but there is a feeling of fluttering.

Chen Fang was too sober and too tired, and was immediately fascinated by this wonderful feeling, and before he could savor it, Anson attacked again.

"Everyone knows that there was a little misunderstanding in the operation, and I am ashamed to say that I have joined the mercenary for too long, and when I go up the ranks, my courage has become smaller, which makes you laugh, I salute everyone as an apology."

This time, Linnie didn't help with the cup, and analyzed: "Since it's an apology, don't toast, just punish yourself with a glass." ”

The crowd seconded.

Anson had to drink the wine in embarrassment, and then asked for another glass: "I'm okay with a toast now, right?" ”

The problem is still Chenfang, he can't move the wine glass, with Linny's first help, it is impossible for others to interfere again, so he first glanced at the wine glass on the table, and then patiently waited for the beauty to hand over the wine, while enjoying the envious eyes of his male compatriots.

The wine was only poured half a glass, Linny did not pour him again, slowly waiting for him to taste, although it is a slight change, but can see a person's mind, grandfather's teachings are indeed not bad, can not be deceived by a woman's appearance, if a woman first meets you make you feel very warm, very kind, don't believe that she is love at first sight for you, it means that she is very kind to everyone, very warm, only when this kindness is their own, it is worth cherishing.

After a few rounds of drinking, the topic was opened.

Anson sighed: "It's been a long time since I've been so excited, although I can't advance, but I feel happy." Still, you seem to owe me an explanation. ”

Chen Fang said lightly: "There is nothing to explain. ”

"At that time, the mercenaries were severely underloaded with heavy mechs, and charging after the fire ox would become cannon fodder, so I didn't think it was wrong to change direction," Linnie said. ”

Anson interrupted: "At this point, I am not questioning whether the decision was wrong, but temporarily changing the decision itself. Judging from the situation at that time, it was impossible for a few of us to break through alone, and even if you wanted to take a risk, you should not choose the east side with the strongest defense. ”

Chen Fang said bluntly: "You actually want to know, am I changing my decision temporarily or have I planned it in advance?" If it was a temporary change of decision, it seemed that I had no basis for it, and the choice I made was not reasonable. If I had planned it and didn't tell you, you wouldn't have accepted it. ”

An Xun said seriously: "It's not that I'm stingy, I change my decision for no reason, even if it's a mercenary group, this is a big taboo, and it's hard for anyone to accept your approach." If I had been honest with you at the time, we would have all died in Kamiao City. ”

Chen Fang nodded and said: "If my judgment is wrong, we will all die, and there is no need to explain, we are still alive, which means that the judgment is correct, and there is no need to explain." However, it is also necessary to be honest with my peers, and I did change my decision on the spur of the day because I received a message from which the source and content of the information were inconvenient to disclose. ”

An Xun was puzzled: "So, you received the information after Yao Jia shot, and the message told you that Aturu's appearance in Kamiao City was a trap for you to go east." ”

Chen Fang shook his head: "The information was indeed received after Yao Jia made a move, but it was not as much as you guessed." ”

"It's enough to have this sentence, I won't ask about the rest, like you said, if your judgment is wrong, we all die, there is no need to explain, since we are all alive, it is you who saved everyone, there is no need to explain anything, drink."

After all, he has been born and died, at least there is no lack of trust, what Anson wants is a sentence, and he has not been hidden. ，

"Thank you." Chen Fang once again looked at Linni with a pleading look for help, and took a toast as an explanation for everyone.

"Actually, we should give Yao Jia a cup, if it weren't for his last shot, we would have worked in vain in the end." The fire bull picked up the cup with a smile and a malicious smile.

"Are you hurting me or are you trying to elevate yourself? The first time I made a move, I shot without even knowing the target. The second time, if you hadn't squeezed a gap, I wouldn't have had a chance to do it. Yao Jia didn't appreciate it, so naturally she didn't move the cup on the table.

"His name is dedication, it doesn't hurt your meaning, I can testify, I didn't see the retreat, he stayed behind you like a fart, and people who didn't know thought he was your full-time bodyguard." The wine is a little top, and the words of the old are also more, and the old bottom of the fire cow is exposed on the spot.

As soon as these words came out, everyone forced their smiles, no one is blind, people don't say it, why bother Yao Jia for this kind of thing, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yao Jia snorted coldly on the spot: "Who wants someone to protect you, didn't your work at that time be interrupted?" You can see what the fire bull is doing. ”

No matter how stupid Chen Fang was, he realized that he had made a stupid mistake, he lost his words after drinking, and hurriedly gave the thunderbolt bee a look, and then remedied: "I saw it by accident, in fact, I mean that this mission can be successful, it is indeed thanks to you, that shot is not something that anyone can do, I think it is difficult to say to the thunderbolt bee." ”

Chen Fang ignored the embarrassment of his dead party and Chen Fang's request for help, lest the world be chaotic: "That is, I don't have that ability, and it's useless if I can do it, for me, can Niu Niu burst out of his potential?" Can he hold up to six in one? ”

Yao Jia, who was annoyed and angry, stood up and said that if she turned her face, she would turn her face, this was a woman's patent, but if she was allowed to leave, the celebration would be unpleasant.

Whoever makes the trouble should be dealt with, Chen Fang stood up with responsibility: "The first time I drank wine, it was pure nonsense, I toast you with a glass to make amends." What the fire bull said makes sense, if it weren't for your crucial shot, we would have been busy this time, you are a good sniper, don't deny your ability. ”

Although it lacks novelty and has no substance, but starting from the ability, the compliment is the right way, not to mention that even if the lame compliment comes out of the mouth of a master like him, it is quite weighty.

Although Yao Jia didn't say it, she admired his ability in her heart, and most of her anger was relieved in an instant, dispelling the meaning of her position, but she took the opportunity to threaten and said: "Don't dare to be, if you want to toast, I will also respect you." If you hadn't dragged down the rebels, the mercenary group would have been wiped out. But I'm curious, you had a hard time fighting with the scarecrow at first, and you almost got hung up, but all of a sudden you came back to life, like a different person, and it wasn't a problem for me to stay, unless you say it, that's what happened. ”

Brain domain, this is great news, Chen Fang doesn't mind sharing it with his teammates, he will say it as it is, and at the end he will add analysis, this may be because of the parasite.

Poof, the unprepared Thunderbee just swallowed a mouthful of wine and squirted out on the spot: "Don't tell me, you used to manually control mechas." ”

Chen Fang was reluctant to mention that nightmarish experience, and said: "Well, I had a serious illness when I was young, and after I recovered, my brain domain dropped to a very low level, and I couldn't use my brain domain to drive a mecha. ”

Anson didn't want to believe that the newbie who lost to Hall Star was using a manual control mech.

Although Yao Jia admires Chen Fang's ability, after all, there is a limit, and she has tried to control the remote mecha in the hand control mode in the past, but the use of hand control in melee is a big joke

Only Linni never doubted that she and Chen Fang had been huddled in the cockpit of the fish-man for two weeks, and had never seen Chen Fang use his brain to pilot a mecha, so Chen Fang's various puzzling behaviors were also explained.

Judging from the battle between Chen Fang and the scarecrow, his melee skills are not bad, and he is very strong, he can definitely be called a master, but as a master, his physical skills are too poor, stiff like a piece of wood, completely inconsistent with excellent tactical awareness, even if she can look away, the sixth-order mercenary who saved Chen Fang will never lose his eyes, that level of physical skills, unless it is controlled by hand, otherwise, the controller hidden in it is not a mecha master, but a zombie.

Why doesn't Chen Fang strengthen his physique, when he manually controls the mecha, his physique is not very useful, or it is not useful.

And the most direct proof is that a person who has the ability to use the brain domain to drive the mecha will never force himself to control the mecha manually to the point of finger cramps.

Linni didn't completely believe it, she guessed that Chen Fang did suffer from a serious illness, but he did not recover, he has been plagued by illness all these years, and that kind of virus not only affects the brain domain, but also makes people's physique extremely weak, a healthy person, it is impossible for the physique to be fragile to this extent, and now it is much better, when they first met, Chen Fang was like a glass man.

However, it is such a man who is extremely fragile in the physique, and he has survived in the world of mercenaries, and he has become a hot dark horse with the attitude of a strong man.

Linnie is not a powerful person, and she appreciates Chen Fang's almost paranoid persistence more than her dazzling two-gun control and melee skills.

This man never seems to know how to give up, never willing to lose to others, a person with this kind of spirit, even if he is not a mercenary or a mecha master, must be an excellent man.

It is this spirit that silently attracts Linni, so that she gradually has a feeling of dependence, and even pins the hope of the mercenary group on Chen Fang, it turns out that Chen Fang is a person worth looking forward to, he not only has technology and perseverance, but also has the most precious sense of responsibility of a man, he is leading the team out of the predicament step by step.

With Linny's approval, everyone finally began to accept this explanation, but the topic shifted to Chen Fang's strength.

With manual control, the mecha can jump to the third-order mercenary, and become the dark horse of the mercenary association in the near future, how strong is the strength of the concealment? Perhaps, it can be glimpsed from Chen Fang's performance after awakening.

The strength of the scarecrow is well known, with the skills of Anxun's fourth-order mercenaries, he can't even hold a face, Linni can only save his life with the help of shine, and the strong mecha that appeared later is also unstoppable, but Chen Fang can pick two of them, kill one, and run away one, isn't this called strong?

The above is the judgment of the thunderbolt bee and the fire bull, Anson is skeptical, there is still a difference between the manual control mecha and the brain domain control mecha, in the manual mode, Chen Fang can not be limited by the physique, but with the brain domain to control the mecha, the defect is exposed, at best, it is to gain a certain advantage in speed, and it is impossible to make a big leap in ability.

The topic rose to the height of ability, and the men immediately raised their interest, and Yao Jia's dedication to ability was by no means weaker than that of any man, and after a while, the conversation was full of gunpowder, which turned into a heated argument, and he drank more wine.

The fire bull emphasized with a red face: "Don't forget, the physique can be strengthened. ”

An Xun reminded considerably: "Don't forget, enhancement is limited by physique, and how much it can be strengthened depends on talent. It is common sense to infer that it is impossible for him to get better results than normal people. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Fang's piloting mecha is still subject to many limitations, he couldn't use the brain domain before, he relied on his extraordinary talent, and reached the peak in manual control, and now, he changed to a slightly higher starting point from scratch, but that slightly higher starting point is still congenitally deficient for others, and there are one or two regrets from time to time in the discussion.

Chen Fang is not interested in the above topics at all, how can there be any fairness in this thing of fate? What's the use of complaining? It would be great luck to get back the brain domain that belonged to him.

The brain domain is less than fifteen, and others have long given up the urge to drive the mecha to fight, only a pervert like him can think of practicing manual control, and only when manual control like him reaches its peak, or is it a bottleneck, can he experience the surprise brought by the brain domain control mecha.

In the end, the fire bull had to reluctantly admit that Chen Zai's chances of surpassing ordinary people in terms of physical strength were very slim, and parasites became the only hope.

In the past, the parasite belonged to the high-end goods that the fire bull couldn't think of, but now that it has been mixed with the third-order mercenary and allied with Anson's team, it can still be thought about.

An Xun swallowed the liquor in one gulp and said: "It's not too difficult to mix a low-level parasite, you can start with a special task reward, but there is too much uncertainty in that thing, it is feasible to improve the strength, and it is okay to use it to make up for the defects, who knows that the parasite you picked can just strengthen the physique." Moreover, a person can only fuse with one parasite, and if he changes to an individual parasite, he may lose his brain domain again, and the gains outweigh the losses. Hey, it's not brother gloating, you kid is too old, I've been mixed for so long, and the first time I heard about such a garbage parasite, that is, I met you, and if I replaced it with someone else, this parasite is useless at all. ”

Chen Anxin sighed a lot, but on the surface he didn't think so: "There is no best thing in the world, what suits you is good, and for me, it is the best." ”

Anxun sighed: "That's right, for you, there is no better parasite than this, what belongs to you is the best, if it weren't for the fact that you could only use the brain domain to control the mecha before, you might not be able to play with two guns to control the kill, to be honest, that hand is indeed very handsome, and it is very practical, and I can't support thousands of mecha alone." ”

Yao Jia understood and said; "I feel that there is no strongest mecha in the world, only the strongest mecha master, and the master can call him a master, not that his physique is stronger than others."

"I don't feel like you need to comfort me, in terms of physique, I have already thought of ways to strengthen it, physique is assistance, as long as it can reach a certain standard." Chen Fang felt that the topic had changed a little, at first when they were arguing, these guys were eager to dissect him, but now it is even more outrageous, he has become a pitiful worm who is sympathized with, if it weren't for the alcohol, he wouldn't have argued for this kind of thing, and he would have left a long time ago.

Chen's protest backfired, only to usher in a few sighs. The most infuriating thing was that Anson didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder very gently, as if he was afraid of hurting him, and even arguing with him became a sin.

"It's not sympathy, it's pity, you could have done better, hey, God is jealous." A moment later, the Thunderbolt Bee tapped him on the shoulder.

"Not necessarily, Anson, there's something wrong with your reasoning." Linni remained silent until Chen Fang was closed in a coffin before she suddenly came out to correct it.

"What's not necessary? What's the problem? What is the high opinion of the great beauty? Anson poured three glasses of liquor in the blink of an eye, and the outrageous thing was that he looked at Chen Fang and sighed while pouring the wine, as if he was pouring wine to pour his sorrows, or for someone else.

"Before his illness, his brain domain was not low, that is to say, his brain domain is not given by parasites, but what belongs to him, I guess, the brain domain has become weak by the effect of the virus, the virus is lifted, the brain domain should recover on its own, this is a matter of time, the fusion of the parasite at most accelerates this process, the parasite in his body, the role is not to improve the brain domain." Linnie was the least drunk of the crowd, and was naturally more sober than the others.

"Makes sense, I say, there can't be such a garbage parasite." Anson slapped his head hard.

"That's easy, if the parasite's ability is not good, at least it can be replaced." The fire bull shouted so cruffly that half the bar's patrons could hear it.

It felt like Chen Fang was a terminally ill patient, and now he was told that it was a diagnosis error, and he could still be saved.

After all, people are kind, bear with it, Chen Fang knocked on the table with his stiff fingers, and motioned for Linni to help serve the wine.

"I also have a question, when you fought the scarecrow in the back, it seems that there was more than one change, and what was the reason for the second change." Linnie asked, tasting the liquor in his mouth.

"What second change?" Chen Fang was a little drunk.

"That's when you told me that the fire bull was not normal and complained that he was close to Yao Jia." Linnie thought for a moment and said.

"I didn't say anything like that." There is a way to be drunk and sober up, although Chen Fang is a little drunk, he still understands what he can admit and what he can't admit, and it was not easy for the turmoil to subside.

"You deliberately let the scarecrow slash you with a knife, remember?" Linni broke out in a cold sweat for him at the time, and later saw a similar situation repeating itself again and again, only to realize that this was Chen Fang's intention, but she couldn't figure out the mystery.

"I'm trying to see how close I can to my opponent." Far from being unsatisfactory, Chen's answer aroused Anson's curiosity.
