"Party?"

"Well, tomorrow Sister Lily, I, Qianqian...... Will you go, will you go? ”

These people should be Qing'er's good friends, and she often attended parties in the past, but this time, she set her eyes on Aunt Qin and asked her opinion.

Seeing Qing'er's expectant gaze, Aunt Qin said to Yi Xue, "Miss Yi, our young lady will go tomorrow." ”

After Yi Xue and the others left, Aunt Qin specially explained to Lu Chen: "It's not just for fun to let Qing'er go, you know that in the mall, relationships are very important, and such gatherings are inevitable." ”

Because Aunt Qin and the others only have Lu Chen as a contractor now, and with their current situation, they can't recruit other contractors in a short period of time, so they both value Lu Chen very much.

Lu Chen really didn't know much about the things in the mall, so he didn't ask much, just nodded and understood.

It seems that tomorrow, Lu Chen is also going to go, since he is participating in such activities, Qing'er also wants Lu Chen to support the field, no way, who called Qing'er is now only Lu Chen as a contractor.

Qing'er's courtyard is very large, and the layout inside is also very fine, but Lu Chen has always paid little attention to the scenery, so he directly entered his room and meditated and cultivated, while Qing'er and Aunt Qin have been busy when they come here, meeting all kinds of people and dealing with all kinds of things.

In his room, Lu Chen has also been exacting shock perception, so he knows that in just one afternoon, Qing'er has met dozens of people.

Normally, she wouldn't be that busy. There are managers everywhere who are dealing with it, and she just controls the general direction.

But now things have changed. She couldn't be the same anymore.

It wasn't until night that Aunt Qin came over and knocked on Lu Chen's door. She didn't come empty-handed, but with several small boxes.

"Sir, this is a precious item of your choice."

After opening the boxes and looking at them, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

At that time, Qing'er took out a lot of her father's treasures in despair, and Lu Chen was not polite, and he took everything that was useful to him.

Lu Chen no longer chose the earth system this time, but chose a lot of mining areas, and Lu Chen has not given up his liquid metal, after the Origin Ring has been upgraded. Lu Chen has always wanted to upgrade the liquid metal, but apart from knowing that devouring metal can make it improve, he doesn't quite understand the specific kind of devouring it to improve Lu Chen.

Taking several mining areas in her hands, Aunt Qin did not leave as soon as possible, but said, "Miss Yixue's invitation to Miss Yi Xue tomorrow may not be simple, Mr. had better be careful." ”

Originally, I thought it was just a scene, but I didn't expect that there would be another situation, which made Lu Chen a little interested: "Can you tell me more about the situation?" ”

"Tomorrow will not only be the young lady, but also some sons. This kind of party is normal for young ladies and them, but there is one person you want to pay attention to tomorrow, Yiping, who is Yixue's brother. But at the same time, he is also Miss Qing'er's fiancé. ”

"Since he's a fiancé, he shouldn't be bad for your young lady. What else to pay attention to. This time, Lu Chen was really puzzled.

"The marriage contract was made when I was a child, but when I grew up. Qing'er felt that she didn't agree with Yiping, so she had to dissolve the marriage contract. And Qing'er's father also agreed to this matter and mentioned it to the other side, but before it was completely lifted, Qing'er's father left. When she said this, Aunt Qin sighed a little, Aunt Qin had always been sad about the death of Qing'er's father, which made Lu Chen feel that the two of them were always a little tired.

Of course, these Lu Chen would not say it directly, and remained silent, Lu Chen followed Aunt Qin's words and asked, "That Yiping on the other side is unwilling to dissolve the marriage contract?" ”

When he said this, Lu Chen's tone was a little impatient, such a trivial matter still needed his attention.

"Yes, I really don't want to." Seeing that Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to it, Aunt Qin said in a serious tone: "Sir, the current situation is a bit special, in normal times, the relationship between the two of them is really not very important, but now it is different. ”

"Our family is an Oriental family, some of the family is still more traditional, some are patriarchal, although the society is now open, there will be no concept of not letting the daughter accept the assets, but if the young lady has not integrated the inheritance left by her father, if she marries the past, the family will give some dowry at most, and the young lady will be sent away."

"And if Yiping cooperates with Uncle Qing'er and uncle, it will be easy for Miss to marry off, which must be guarded against."

After listening to Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen also reacted, he really didn't understand the affairs of the big family.

However, Lu Chen quickly thought of one thing: "Since that Yiping likes your young lady, and your young lady's father also made a marriage contract at that time, presumably the Yi family opposite is also a rich and noble family, can you let them sponsor your young lady." ”

Lu Chen has not paid much attention to Qing'er's affairs, all he cares about is the resources that can be obtained.

Aunt Qin could also feel all this, but now except for Lu Chen, no one was willing to accept the employment of the two of them, so Lu Chen didn't care, they had to endure it.

"It is taboo in the family to let others meddle in their own family business, even if it succeeds, the old man will kick Miss Qing'er out, so this is absolutely unacceptable."

From Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen felt that he had made a stupid move, he really didn't know anything about family affairs, and Lu Chen didn't bother thinking about it anymore: "What are you going to do tomorrow, you tell me directly, do you need to kill him directly, or cripple him?" ”

"Sir, we don't have the idea of making a feud with the Yi family, you just need to protect Miss and don't let her do anything, I'm afraid that they will use some subordinate means."

"Got it." As for what the means of the next work are, Lu Chen can also think of it a little.

Seeing that Lu Chen had already agreed, Aunt Qin stood up and prepared to leave.

In fact, Aunt Qin did not particularly refuse to marry Yiping, in her opinion, Qing'er always had to marry, although she would lose a lot of assets. But marrying the equally wealthy Yi family, the dowry in the family will not be too miserable. And as long as the Yi family maintains a good relationship with Miss's family, Miss will not suffer any grievances in the middle.

If. Yiping became the head of the Yi family, and Miss's status will also grow, in her own family, even if Miss receives all of her father's assets, there is no way to participate in the competition for the head of the family, so it is the best choice to marry Yiping purely for the sake of profit.

However, the relationship is forced, and the young lady has no feelings for Yiping. She may not be happy to let her marry, and it was only under her strong opposition that Aunt Qin came over to persuade Lu Chen.

It's just that Aunt Qin hasn't left yet, and Lu Chen stopped her: "Wait a minute." ”

"Anything else?"

"Do you remember the conditions on which I helped you? The eyes of the rock spider mother, and some special metals to help me collect them. ”

"Of course we know this, but Mr. has just arrived and has not done anything, so it is not too much to ask for so many things." When saying this. Aunt Qin was already suppressing her anger, and she thought that Lu Chen was blackmailing.

Aunt Qin's anger, Lu Chen also felt it: "You misunderstood, of course I know that I haven't made any contributions." It's a bad thing to ask for these things, but I didn't ask you to get them for me right away, just to get you to pay attention to the news. It's not too much to use some channels and ask for some news. ”

"It's okay if you just ask for news. It's the little woman who is abrupt, but the gentleman is thoughtful. Inquire earlier, and when Mr. makes meritorious contributions, we will not be in a hurry. Seeing that Lu Chen didn't let them collect as soon as he opened his mouth, Aunt Qin also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time apologized to Lu Chen.

Looking at her departing figure, Lu Chen was also pondering, after listening to Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen also had some ideas, let others marry Qing'er, Lu Chen would never agree, now she is helpless, just in control, married by others, but there is no Lu Chen to interfere in the affairs of their business.

However, these are still secondary, and everything is still focused on improving strength.

Entering his room, Lu Chen took out the worm mother eyes from the Nightmare Mark.

It is easy to be dangerous in the mining area, and Lu Chen does not dare to use it, but in the city, large-scale battles cannot happen, so that Lu Chen's safety is somewhat guaranteed.

This gave Lu Chen the idea of using his eyes, and the most important thing was that he couldn't use it if he didn't use it.

Accepting Qing'er's employment, Lu Chen took the initiative to jump into the whirlpool of her competition for family property, although he was not afraid of the enemies behind Qing'er, but he was not strong enough, Lu Chen could only ensure his own safety, and he wanted to compete for benefits, which was a bit wishful thinking.

Therefore, this persecuted Lu Chen had to forcibly improve his strength.

"Originally, I wanted to find a safe place to improve again, but now it seems that this may be gone, the opportunity is fleeting, and time waits for no one, I hope that Qing'er's enemies are just a test these days, and they will not break out."

Lu Chen just arrived, Qing'er's enemies should be mainly temptation, and the situation of the outbreak should be very small, which gave Lu Chen time to deal with it.

Thinking like this, Lu Chen directly arranged a refining array, refining his eyes in the room, and after becoming a high-level contractor, the refining array could be drawn as long as Lu Chen's blood was used, but there was no need for Lu Chen to find other materials.

Although Lu Chen, who was a little weak after bloodletting, sat down in the refining town and started refining without resting at all.

The moment the formation was opened, a vast and savage consciousness rushed into Lu Chen's mind, which was full of information about the survival of the rock spider mother, Lu Chen was like a bystander, watching the rock spider grow, eat, and evolve.

And in this process, the rock spider's understanding of the earth also passed to Lu Chen's mind, deepening Lu Chen's understanding of the earth.

It took three hours for Lu Chen to completely refine his eyes, but after refining, Lu Chen was stunned.

It's not that something unexpected happened, but this time the refining process was too fast, and the last time he had a series of Medusa eyes, Lu Chen took several times more time than this.

Although Lu Chen's consciousness is still a little tired now, it is no longer too in the way, and it is not comparable to the previous state of confusion.

After thinking about it for a long time with his tired brain, Lu Chen suddenly reacted.

His spiritual power increased, which also increased his refining speed in disguise.

In the past, Lu Chen's consciousness was like a pond, and Medusa's consciousness was similar to Lu Chen's, and it was also a pond. Medusa's consciousness entered Lu Chen's sea of consciousness, like two glasses of water in a cup. It is inevitable that it will be uncomfortable to be raised.

And now, Lu Chen's consciousness has become much bigger. It's not incomprehensible that adding a glass of water is much easier than before.

After estimating his state, Lu Chen found that he only needed to rest for half a day to recover his state, which made Lu Chen happy, and it seemed that it would not take much time to complete the refining of the eight eyes.

But as soon as this thought appeared in Lu Chen's mind, he suddenly remembered something. Since a glass of water poured into the pond Lu Chen can easily bear it, now that Lu Chen's understanding of the earth has improved so much, can accepting this perception improve his strength?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately checked his own state, and after half a sound, Lu Chen sighed suddenly, not to his surprise, the refining speed was faster, but the speed of improvement was also correspondingly slower.

These insights are only equivalent to improving Lu Chen's progress by one percent. In the past, Lu Chen relied on the improvement of his skills and had accumulated for a long time, but if he wanted to become a fourth-level mutant, he still had nearly fifty percent progress.

A rock spider mother has eight eyes. Each eye increases Lu Chen's progress by one percent, and if you only use the Rock Spider Mother to improve, you will need six to seven Rock Spider Mothers. In order to improve, this is not counting the failure of the rock spider mother eye. Or the possibility of diminishing utility.

At the same time, if you want to improve the bloodline level, in addition to the perception of the earth system. Lu Chen also has to improve the perception of the magnetic system, which also plagues Lu Chen, and there is also spiritual power, and if the spiritual power is enough, Lu Chen can continue to upgrade.

Thinking like this, Lu Chen's originally tired head was already a little painful.

Shaking his head, he threw all these things out, and walked step by step, taking out a genetic potion from the nightmare space, and Lu Chen injected it into his body.

Ever since he got the genetic medicine, Lu Chen has been using it.

However, the genetic potion is different from the attribute point enhancement of the space, except for the limitation of resistance, it cannot be injected too much at a time, and it can only be injected until the body has completed digestion.

Lu Chen got a total of four attributes, ten potions of each, these forty are enough for Lu Chen to use for half a year, and at the same time, these forty elixirs can increase Lu Chen's spirit by five points, his physique by five points, and his strength and agility by twenty points.

Lu Chen's physical strength and spirit exceeded the extreme value of fifty points, and even if he used genetic medicine, it was a little difficult to improve quickly.

Of course, five points of spirit plus five points of physical strength is not a small amount, don't forget to break through the attributes of the extreme, each increase needs to consume five attribute points, that is, the improvement of light physique and spirit, so that Lu Chen saves fifty attribute points.

This is already a very rich harvest, the only thing that needs to be criticized is that it takes time to improve these, after half a year, Lu Chen can strengthen these attributes to his body, and at the same time, there is no way to use this kind of genetic medicine in the future, as long as it is more advanced and more precious, it can improve Lu Chen's strength.

While thinking in a daze, Lu Chen waited for time to pass, and after another three hours, Lu Chen's mind calmed down slightly.

But Lu Chen didn't continue to rest, but did it, took out an eye, and continued to refine, since there was no such big trouble, Lu Chen was ready to refine his eyes more.

The eyes are just foreign objects on the body, and only the perception inside can be regarded as Lu Chen's own.

Time passed slowly in the process of Lu Chen's refining, and no one came to disturb Lu Chen for a whole day, and it was not until the evening that Lu Chen stopped rubbing his head.

Now that Lu Chen has refined three eyes, Lu Chen is still very satisfied with this speed, but correspondingly, Lu Chen's headache will last for a while, and it will take two or three hours to subside.

As for the reason for stopping, Lu Chen hadn't forgotten what Aunt Qin said yesterday, he was going to accompany Qing'er to attend those sons' and young ladies' party today.

However, before going, Lu Chen also had a small conflict with Aunt Qin, Lu Chen has always been covered in a black robe, and Aunt Qin wants Lu Chen to go in a formal suit.

In the end, Lu Chen still denied Aunt Qin's opinion, and the equipment on his body could allow Lu Chen to fight at any time.

In this way, Lu Chen, who was dressed in a black robe, went with Qing'er, who was dressed up, and this time Aunt Qin did not accompany her, but George went with a guard.

The original mercenary captain was also dressed in a suit, and he wanted to laugh when he saw Lu Chen, as an ordinary mercenary, now Qing'er's dead soldier, he couldn't bargain like Lu Chen.

Of the four people, Lu Chen and Qing'er sat in the back, and George and another guard drove in front, and the difference in status between the two sides could also be seen from here.

The road was safe, they quickly stopped at the door of a luxurious hotel, on the way here, Lu Chen had been observing the defense of the city, but what surprised him was that where Qing'er and they went, there were few army guards, and it was not as he imagined, the army gathered.

Lu Chen didn't hide this, and told Qing'er directly: "There are very few soldiers here, was it the same before?" ”

Lu Chen's question made Qing'er stunned for a moment, and then she thought for a moment and replied to Lu Chen with some embarrassment; "The people who come here to have fun are all children of the family, and there are some things in it that are not visible, so I chose a place with few troops."

Qing'er's answer made Lu Chen relax a little, if the special situation didn't appear now, it wouldn't be a big problem.

After the three of them went down, George and the other guarded outside, and Lu Chen followed Qing'er into this luxurious hotel.

There are already a lot of people here, and as soon as they enter here, there are many people who greet Qing'er, and at the same time, Qing'er is constantly talking and laughing with others.

And Lu Chen was like a mute, following Qing'er without saying a word.

Despite this, Lu Chen still attracted a lot of attention, no way, Lu Chen's black robe was too conspicuous here.

The black robes, which were common in the low-level districts, became prominent here.

Fortunately, before talking to the others, Qing'er introduced Xia Luchen: "This is the contractor newly hired by my family. ”

In this real world, the contractor still has some prestige, but no one takes the initiative to provoke Lu Chen without a long eye.

Listening to Qing'er talking to other people made Lu Chen a little bored, it was all some gossip or some gossip, and Lu Chen was not worried at all.

Although Qing'er couldn't see Lu Chen's feelings, she seemed to be able to understand Lu Chen's impatience, and took the initiative to say to Lu Chen: "I don't like this atmosphere, you can go to the side and take a rest." ”

"Where's your safety?" After all, he accepted the employment and still had ambitions in his heart, and Lu Chen was still very concerned about Qing'er's safety.

This made Qing'er smile: "I don't have a problem, at least there's no problem here, our circle, unless it's a public death, we won't shoot in public, compared to violence, we are more accustomed to conspiracy, assassination is the last resort." ”

With Qing'er's reminder, Lu Chen no longer followed Qing'er all the time, and found a corner to rest, but Lu Chen's eyes also kept watching Qing'er and didn't let her leave her sight.

Qing'er let Lu Chen leave in a few words, in addition to what she said made sense, Lu Chen also had his own thoughts, he was a contractor of the spirit department, not a melee department.

If you protect people, it doesn't have a particularly big impact on the sidelines.

Only the contractor of the melee system will be closely protected, thinking like Lu Chen, as long as Qing'er is in Lu Chen's field of vision, Lu Chen can make a move.

There was a lot of food in the corner, and Lu Chen ate it slowly.

He thought that no one would come over in the corner, but things often didn't go his way.

After staying in the corner for more than half an hour, a girl came to Lu Chen's side.

This girl Lu Chen met yesterday, it was Yi Xue, who was familiar with Qing'er, and it was also her invitation that Qing'er would attend this banquet.

Although he was a little surprised by her arrival, Lu Chen remained silent and continued to eat the food in front of him, ignoring her at all.

After watching Lu Chen eat for a while, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "Didn't you eat, it's the first time I've seen such a big meal at a banquet." ”

Looking up at her, Lu Chen said lightly: "I heard that there is a banquet today, so I am going to eat here." ”

"This kind of banquet is not the time to eat, let's come ......"

Lu Chen's reply made her open the conversation, and she talked endlessly, but Lu Chen was very puzzled, and only occasionally replied with two sentences, most of the time she was eating.

After breaking through the extreme value of his physique and becoming a high-level contractor, Lu Chen could not eat for a week, but yesterday's refining of spider eyes consumed a lot of his blood, and when he was refining, it also consumed a lot of Lu Chen's mind, which made him physically tired, and eating something at this time could relieve his fatigue. (To be continued.) )
