Chapter 189: A Lot of Aunts
"It's inevitable that you'll be rude today." Chen Fang smiled evilly.
PA is one of the most elite troops in the empire, the function is to protect VIP characters, needless to say, they are professional bodyguards, no need to obey the big guys, strictly follow the usual training, and perform tasks according to professional rules.
This made Chen's first strategy come to naught.
Bodyguards communicate with each other, and between bodyguards and employers, using data terminals. The data terminal they use is specially made, the function is extremely simple, basically a strengthened communicator, however, they do not need to log in to the virtual platform, just borrow the virtual platform to complete remote communication, the port is semi-closed, the security is very high, of course, no matter how high it is, it is difficult for experts.
Chen Fang's original plan was to break into the bodyguard's terminal, and then follow the vine, find the person they were protecting, and use the big man's terminal to issue instructions to them and trick them into leaving.
It's a pity that this kind of trick will not work against the legendary PA, as a special force to protect dignitaries, they have strict principles and discipline, do not accept unjustified demands, even if Chen Fang simulates the voice of that big man, he can't let them leave, in fact, that kind of practice can only raise their vigilance, they may think that the object of protection is being blackmailed. Usually, it is the PA that requires the object of protection to cooperate.
More than ten minutes have passed, Chen Fang is still concentrating on his work, it is not difficult to sneak into the terminal, it is not difficult to find out the characters they protect, and it is even easier to synthesize voice. The most time-wasting process is the process of searching, where enough conversations must be found as an aid to complete the analog synthesis of speech.
"Alright." Chen Fang is overjoyed, and the new data terminal saves him at least three minutes of his time.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Lingxue stopped Chen Fang, who was eager to try, originally she thought that this guy wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain, but now, the nineteen PAs are all there, and they will definitely be taken down on the spot if they rush through the level, and when they are on the mission, PA doesn't care who is the flower of the empire or who is the hero who saved Illano, and anyone who should not appear, they will be strictly investigated.
"You also know that these people are PAs, and there is no way to get them to leave their posts, but we have a valid reason to go over, don't we?" Chen Fang turned in and out of the corridor first, exposing himself to the sight of the PAs.
The PA could not have just guarded the entrance to the hall and should have touched the people who had touched them when Chen Fang came in, but the PA also had the principle of trying not to interfere with the normal activities of the protection target.
After all, this is the Chen family, not a public place, and they must narrow down the scope of vigilance, which gives Chen Fang an opportunity.
"You should have given up a long time ago." Lu Lingxue reciprocated with a gentle smile and stayed by his side, if he stopped messing around, there would be nothing to worry about, PA must routinely stop it, interrogate it, and finally let them go after obtaining consent.
The five PAs hurried up to meet them and motioned for them to stop with simple movements, without making any noise in between, fully demonstrating their well-trained.
Chen Fang stood in place very cooperatively, letting them sweep around with a small detector, and explained in a low voice: "I have made an appointment in advance, you might as well confirm it." β
The other party smiled helplessly, speaking of reservations, the upcoming birthday banquet, there are no longer a few invited guests, plus the staff, the workers of the Chen family, and the relatives who came to celebrate the birthday temporarily, they can't confirm it one by one, they are already anxious, and after the protection target enters the living room, it is a little easier.
After confirming that Chen Fang had not carried any dangerous items, the other party asked, "You are the hero who saved Illano." β
Chen Fang smiled: "It's me." β
The other party also smiled: "Well done, my ancestral home is also in Illano, and many family members live there, speaking of which, I still owe you a favor." β
Chen Fang shook his head and said: "It's not about human favors, everyone is doing their duty, everything I do is the same as what you are doing now." β
Another PA also leaned over and asked, "I heard that you are a member of the Black Dragon Legion, and you defeated the rebel leader in the Cultivator Star. β
Chen Fang admitted: "Nineteenth Division, Second Battalion, Major rank. β
The man also laughed when he heard this: "That's the team of the four tribes of Li?" It turns out that the report is true, I used to serve in the Black Dragon Legion, and later participated in the selection of PA, speaking of which, I am still your senior. β
Lu Lingxue was no longer nervous, watching the speculation they were talking about, and listening quietly on the side.
"You're the generalissimo's daughter, aren't you?" Someone finally found her, Lu Lingxue admitted with a smile that the Flower of the Empire and Generalissimo Lu, both of them are famous, and their relationship is known to everyone.
Familiar is familiar, PA is not ambiguous in doing things, and after carefully checking the two of them, he asked the owner in the room for instructions as usual.
"No problem, you can go in." PA opened the door for Chen Fang very elegantly.
"Thank you." As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, the heavy door behind them immediately closed.
didn't have time to see the situation in the room clearly, Chen Fang heard a sigh,
"Look, who's this handsome guy? I've never seen that before. β
"Is he a nobleman?"
"It doesn't seem like it, he doesn't have a family crest on his clothes."
"I remembered that he seemed to be the hero reported by the media, saving Illano's data division. I didn't expect him to be so young, and he was even more handsome than on the video. β
"He's still a soldier, and he's defeated the leader of the rebels in the Cultivator, oh my God, his eyes are silver, like precious snow silver, and his eyes are so cool."
"Strange, why is he here? Who invited you? β
The handsome guy with a mysterious background is always a topic of conversation among aristocratic women, and he doesn't know what it means to be reserved, not to mention that Chen Fang is not only handsome, but also talented and wears the halo of a hero.
Although the mother was surprised, she enjoyed her son's popularity very much, and watched with a smile.
So many aunts! Chen Fang smiled bitterly, as if he was pleasantly surprised.
"I'm here to celebrate my mother's birthday." In order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, Chen Fang took the initiative to surrender and show his identity and intentions.
"Oh my God, he's your son! It's a shame that we're so familiar with each other, and you're hiding it from us. The mother was immediately rebuked by her friends.
"What's on my head? I didn't mean to hide it, this kid secretly went home, and I have seen him once for two years, and I still went to the outer land to find him, what will I show you. The mother showed her determination to beat the water dog, and taught her a hard lesson in front of her friends.
"Didn't I come to greet you with sincerity?" Chen Fang's hippie smile begged for mercy.
"You came back with sincerity, didn't you, what about the gifts?" Mother deliberately used a pair of beautiful eyes to look for Chen Fang, but in fact, it was clear at a glance that there was nothing.
"I didn't bring anything but a pure heart." Chen Fang argued hard.
"Pure heart? You really know how to use words, and the book is not in vain. Mother rolled her eyes.
"I've thought about buying you a precious birthday gift, but I can't think of anything you still lack, and I'm poor, from the perspective of value, I can't afford any gift that can make you happy, even if I buy a gift that is dispensable for you, and I can't afford to say the past, I have to spend all my savings, I'm afraid it's not enough, you can bear it?" It takes courage to cry poor in front of many aunts, and Chen Fang is out of the way.
The mother understands that these are the truth, the son has the difficulties of the son, although the children of the nobles are not short of money to spend, not all the money spent is the family's money, not to mention the special situation of Chen Fang, the money is all fought back by himself, and the high tuition fee of the Imperial Academy alone is difficult enough for him. How can a child make up for his or her own tuition? He also forced people to attend the most expensive schools, and the tuition fees of the Imperial Academy were not a small amount even for the inferior nobles, and if he did not enroll as a special enrollment, he would not be able to afford it.
The mother was originally a little soft-hearted, but remembering that this kid had asked Jennifer to make clothes for other girls two days ago, it was only her mother's turn to be sincere, and she teased with a hard heart: "So, why don't you buy everything and come back to play with me?" β
"Sister Yao, you are content, how many of the current children can remember their parents' birthdays? It's very rare for him to have this kind of thought, not to mention that your son is so promising, and now he is a hero of the expedition, and he has saved Illano and earned you enough face, which is better than any gift. "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and my mother's sworn friends can't stand it.
"But isn't it, my son gives gifts every year, and then reports to his father." They are all mother's best friends, and they don't care about what they say.
Knowing that others were not as good as himself, Chen Fang's pitiful self-esteem was comforted a little, and his confidence was a little stronger. Regardless, he still has something to show off.
Since Chen Fang became sensible, he has almost never forgotten his mother's birthday, and even if he dares to forget, his father will not dare to let him forget it.
One year, Chen Fang forgot his mother's birthday, and it was not only he who was tortured, but his father also suffered with him, poor father, for his mother to make a gift for two weeks, and also made an ingenious candlelight dinner, and in the end accompanied his son to be punished, since then, every time it is his mother's birthday, his father has to remind him repeatedly, usually by the secretary, so Chen Fang does not know if he can remember his mother's birthday, because before he remembers, he will be able to receive a reminder from his father.
It was a secret between father and son, and in any case, the unknowing mother was particularly happy.
"Yes, aunt, don't blame him. Early this morning, Chen Fang pulled me to congratulate you on your birthday, probably because he was in a hurry and was fierce at me. Lu Lingxue actually ran out to intercede, and Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, it seemed that she was so much better than her, right?
"What? Does he still have the face to murder you? The mother looked beautiful and couldn't laugh, and showed the emerald gemstone necklace on her neck: "Look clearly, this is a birthday gift from my daughter-in-law, and I received it early this morning." β
"What's so strange about that? I bet she's never seen this necklace herself. Chen Fang's confident defense.
"Are you embarrassed to argue? Think everyone is like you? Xiaoxue gave me a birthday greeting through a video early in the morning, and she didn't know that she would be pulled by you temporarily, so she sent someone to give a gift in advance, showing that you were designing someone's house. Anyway, didn't you wake up from sleep and suddenly remember my birthday before you pulled her to celebrate her birthday? Mother affectionately pulled Lu Lingxue, the two of them are outstanding beauties, staying together, saying that it is absolutely convincing to say that it is mother and daughter.
"Of course not." Although he was full of confidence in what he said, Chen Fang couldn't deny the cruel reality that he had been tricked.
Unprepared, Chen Fang leaned into his fiancΓ©e's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Lu Lingxue, you are ruthless enough." β
The intimidation is like a stone sinking into the sea, Lu Lingxue doesn't seem to hear anything, with her mother-in-law as a backer, what else is there to be afraid of? At that time, if Chen Fang asked with good words, she would not have played this kind of trick, but someone put on a posture of asking the teacher to ask the guilt, and ate her posture, which is called self-inflicted.
"It turns out that you are all a family, as the saying goes, you don't leave your father and son when you go into battle, Marshal Lu has a good son-in-law, and you don't have to worry about having successors in the future." The aunts laughed again, and it seemed that the matter of Generalissimo Lu's troubles about his successor had long been famous.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Beiyan has a son." The mother glanced at her friends, although it is a well-known fact that the heirs of the Lu family are not successful, this is a bit too much after all.
"What I said is that your brother is not afraid that his son-in-law will steal the limelight." A glamorous aunt threw a curious inquiry, don't look at these women who are bored all day long, and their ability to comprehend politics is by no means inferior to their men.
"If Chen Fang becomes the leader of the Black Legion, my father and brother will be very happy." Lu Lingxue replied calmly.
The discussion stopped abruptly, there were not many things that could surprise this group of aunts, and the information that Lu Lingxue seemed to throw out was explosive.
Could it be that Lu Beiyan married his daughter and put it on the Black Dragon Legion as a dowry, this dowry is too amazing. They know even more that Lu Lingxue has received a strict education since she was a child, and has been trained by the Secretary of State as a successor, these words can never be a momentary gaffe, twenty years of brewing, and controlling this shocking effect is exactly the effect that Lu Lingxue wants.
Chen's mother was also taken aback, you must know that when these words reach the mouths of the good sisters and are passed through them, it is equivalent to semi-official information. Before figuring out Lu Lingxue's intentions, the smartest thing to do is, of course, perfunctory.
"The in-laws are inevitably too much to carry this kid, it's just a casual joke, you don't have to take it seriously." Chen's mother was generous, but changed the topic.
It is impossible to say that what is said cannot be regarded as not being said, but that the listener has the intention of saying it. When the goal was achieved, Lu Lingxue didn't say much, and quietly accompanied her mother-in-law, but at this moment, the two of them were no longer calm, speculating on each other's thoughts.
The aunts quickly turned their attention to Chen Fang, asking about his battle on the Cultivator Star and the details of saving Illano, and some even mentioned the mysterious and elegant silver mecha.
Although it is labeled with the logo of the Black Dragon Legion, anyone with a little insight can see that it is not the standard mecha of the Empire. "That silver mech is called the Wind Whisperer, and it's from the Mercenary Guild." Chen Fang must answer any questions.
"I've watched the battle video ten times, the landing force of the empire met the first fierce general of the rebels, and was defeated by others, I'm sorry, I'm not saying that the Black Dragon Legion is not strong, but the other party does have invincible martial arts, and then the silver mecha appeared, confronting the rebels' brave generals alone, turning the tide, and you are the one driving the silver mecha?" From a large group of aunts, a little girl of the Lori level suddenly appeared, the same age as the little goblin, and the big eyes of the water spirit flashed with curiosity.
Chen Fang snorted mechanically, and his intuition told him that a little girl like this was the toughest to deal with, and that if she became interested in you, it would be a catastrophe.
"I don't believe it, unless you can show me the mech." The girl stood up stubbornly, in order to show her determination, her small breasts stood hard, of course, no matter how strong she was, it didn't have any effect.
Hearing a harmless request, Chen Fang didn't dare to take it lightly, once her curiosity was satisfied, her next request was likely to lend the Wind Whisperer to play with her for a few days, or even simply give it to him.
Chen Fang didn't dare to be careless, didn't say anything, and handed out a look for help to the aunts.
"Xiao Nizi, don't mess around, the emperor is a forbidden area, and you are not allowed to use mecha casually, even if you release it from the space, you can't start it. What's so good about a mecha that can't move, besides, Aunt Yao's birthday party will start later, do you want to make Aunt Yao angry? An aunt who looks like an angel helped to relieve the siege, which shows that Chen Fang's mother, that is, Aunt Yao, is very deterrent in the eyes of the child, and Chen Fang is not the only one who has been destroyed.
In fact, aunts and children are equally interested in mechas, the only difference between the two is that aunties are smarter and more difficult to deal with than little girls, they know that to appreciate the level of a person's control of mechas, it is not necessary to drive a real mecha, and using Skynet's virtual confrontation system is the easiest, safest, and most environmentally friendly method.
Judging by the advice of the aunts, they are not laymen, as confirmed by the terminal of the virtual confrontation played in the center of the hall.
"You don't like entertainment news?" This thing shot Chen Fang's last excuse.
"Entertainment news, are we like such boring people? What kind of show can release news? It's all in the media, and it can still be called news. His mother's questioning made Chen Fang completely speechless.
If you ask a woman what are the two greatest inventions of our time, the answer must be virtual platforms and plastic surgery. The former helps them pass the time of boredom, and the latter helps them gain self-confidence.
For ordinary women, there is a huge amount of gossip news in the virtual world, but unfortunately, the mother's sisters are not interested in news outside the circle, and the news in the circle cannot be called news, and they are more addicted to Skynet's virtual confrontation system.
The virtual confrontation system allows them to enjoy the fun of fighting only men without worrying about getting their nails. Not only that, but sitting on the sofa in the living room can enjoy countless excellent men, leisurely and leisurely commenting, what could be more pleasant than this kind of fun?
Chen Fang had to admit that he was lonely and unheard, with the name of a butcher, and at his peak, he was just focusing on fighting, exploring fighting skills from it, and his understanding of Skynet was far inferior to that of the aunt in front of him.
The butcher represents an era, an era of madness, and an era of nostalgia, in which no other hero can be found. Although the butcher did not fight many times, and did not defeat all the strong enemies, the rise of the butcher was only a flash in the pan, but the record of total victory, wild battles, and hearty killings can give people a strong feeling that he is the strongest, and his light buries all people.
After the butcher disappeared in Skynet, Skynet returned to the Warring States Period, losing the absolute suppression of the butcher, a large number of heroes were able to stand out and show in people's field of vision, but there were also some people who said goodbye to Skynet from then on, and they left with sadness, because Skynet no longer had the overlord who made them excited.
Skynet has countless excellent mecha masters, however, there can only be one overlord, but it is a pity that the butcher quietly disappeared before he completed the hegemony, leaving people with endless imagination.
Without a hegemon who can cheer everyone up, popularity will be lost, and the status quo will not change until the next overlord is born.
A company can do the point of Skynet, do not care how much money is made, in the face of the loss of popularity must not turn a blind eye, the recent series of changes is to save the loss of popularity.
"What measures?" Chen Fang asked casually, the main purpose is to delay time, no matter how much it changes, it is fake, Skynet is just a substitute, people who have tasted the taste between life and death can no longer be interested in virtual fighting.
"In the competition, in the past, the strong players in Skynet were all looking for people to challenge themselves, and those who had never played against each other could only guess who was strong and who was weak out of thin air. Skynet tried to end the era of butchers by forming a recognized powerhouse through competition. In addition, there is a competition, there will be a strong player, there will always be a dark horse in the game to fight out of the encirclement, no matter who kills out, they can vigorously tout it, to create a new butcher, the final winner is still Skynet. Auntie patiently explained.
