Chapter 74, be prepared and stamped
Seeing the light gradually shining outside the window, the panda sighed and turned off the magic lamp in front of the desk.
After another all-nighter, exhausted, his supposed "very easy" automatic control system for the joint machinery still did not make much progress.
The lack of the right tools was a minor problem, but the bigger problem was that he was unfamiliar with his expertise.
If you don't practice your hands for a day, you don't sing for a day, although the proverb is a bit exaggerated, but the ability in the world really has to be practiced diligently in order to maintain the level.
Since the crossing, Panda has not touched programming technology for more than eleven years. Although he can still remember what he learned in school, when he uses this expertise, his mind feels like he has entered a messy warehouse, full of useful things, but he needs to clean up and organize it before it can be easily selected and used.
However, it is not so easy to organize your memories and knowledge. His powerful force value was useless here, and after working hard for several days, he didn't gain much except that he seemed to be regaining the habit of "cultivating immortals" in the original days of staying up late.
With the current state, it is tantamount to a fantasy to complete an automatic control system independently.
Looking at the plan on the paper, the panda's eyes swept casually, and he found several mistakes and omissions.
However, it is easy to find mistakes, but it is difficult to fix them. In the past few days, it only took him a minute or two every day to find a few mistakes, and then it took him more than a dozen hours to fix them...... Sometimes it can't be fixed.
For example, one of the problems he is facing now is quite troublesome.
"Forget it!" Panda shook his head, put the pen and paper back in the drawer, washed his face, and went downstairs to have breakfast and exercise.
After a sweat, he took a shower with well water. The well water poured on the body at the end of November was cold and biting, but it was very comfortable and refreshing.
Then, back in the house, as soon as the eyes were closed, no more than twenty seconds, the snoring was already sounding.
The panda slept until it was getting late, only to be woken up by the prompt sound in the private chat channel.
When I opened it, it was a message from Prett.
[Changsun Wu (Pret): Are you there?]
γPanda:...... Can you still not be online?]
Pratt smiled and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
"Of course there is time...... What's the matter?"
"I'm going to sign a deal with the Black Prince. β
"Agreement?" Panda asked suspiciously, recalling what had happened in the past few days, "Didn't we already openly support him?" At that time, Locke also drew his sword, saying that he wanted to stab the chattering nobles to death one by one, so that they would not buzz in his ears like flies...... If we hadn't stopped him, he would have killed everyone......"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Pratt couldn't help but laugh.
Although he was hugged by a panda and several magic swords were also held by Pratt, he couldn't slash people, but Locke's murderous aura still forced the nobles who wanted to continue to oppose to turn pale and breathe hard, and they couldn't even speak well.
In this case, of course, they could no longer object, so the matter was settled, and the situation was so stable.
As for how the king would try to make amends afterwards to appease their grievances, or simply not make amends, and instead use the might of the time-travelers to beat them hard and make them lose their unrealistic illusions...... None of this has anything to do with Panda, he's busy programming.
Therefore, when he heard Pratt say that he wanted to sign an agreement with the black prince, he couldn't help but wonder a little.
"What agreement are you going to sign?" he asked.
"It's basically an amicable agreement, but it's not a whole, it's an individual. "I told him that Inhumans are also a group, and that there are all kinds of ideas in this group. Although we are generally on the same page, it doesn't mean that people will come to help him when he really needs help β and even if he does, it probably won't be in time. So I suggested that he find a few more active strangers, sign a friendly agreement one-on-one, and everyone take care of each other. β
Confused, the panda asked, "What's the point? I don't think we need him to take care of it." β
"We don't need it, but our family needs it. "In the future, more and more people will start families, and even if we stay at home, there is no guarantee that we will be able to protect everyone." Don't you think it's cost-effective to sign such a friendly agreement with the king, that we can give him a hand when he is in trouble, and that he can use the resources of the state to protect our family?"
Panda nodded: "It's really cost-effective, but what does this have to do with me? I don't want to say anything about 'family', my girlfriend hasn't been shadowed yet." β
"Be prepared, do you plan to be single for sixty years and practice the supreme 'double unicorn arm'?"
"Big brother, are you here to hurt me......
"Anyway, be prepared, right?"
β...... Makes sense, but my gut tells me that you can't go out of your way to make a deal with the Black Prince for this - I think you don't have a good relationship with him at all. β
Pratt sighed: "It's because the relationship is not good, that I need to sign an agreement! If the relationship is good, for example, Princess Fisna becomes the queen, I don't worry about this kind of thing!"
"Is it binding to sign an agreement?" Panda shook his head, "I don't believe it." β
"The agreement itself is not binding, but our force is binding. Pratt explained, "With this agreement in hand, if he doesn't count what he says in the future, let's just abolish him and set up a new king, and no one else can say anything, isn't that the truth?"
"Then he's willing to give us such a big handle?"
"Please! This is a friendly agreement! Unless he really wants to fight with us, why don't he sign it? After signing this agreement, he can also get more help from us!"
The panda thought carefully for a while and said, "I still don't think it's that simple......
"Damn, your intuition is as good as a dog's nose, have you been practicing some kind of Buddhism lately?"
Panda smiled: "Don't change the subject! What exactly do you want to do?"
"Alas, it's so hard to sell a pass...... In fact, the key reason is that I plan to wait for the agreement to be signed, and then ask Alice to notarize it. β
"Alice, isn't she a demon, what can she notarize?" asked Panda, puzzled.
"Alice's personality is 'Beelzebub' the Demon King! As long as she notarizes the agreement, it is equivalent to stamping the black prince with a Beelzebub seal - although this chapter is a bit crooked, it is only an indirect effect, but with this chapter, can the black prince still want to make a deal with the devil? Even if it is only accidental, only indirectly, after all, he is involved in Beelzebub, which demon dares to fool him? Dare to deceive his soul? and dare to lead him into madness?"
The panda nodded repeatedly.
Pratt added: "The Black Prince is still very smart, as long as he does not hook up with the demons, he will not kill himself and drive himself crazy." As long as he doesn't have problems, we don't have to worry about it - that's the most fundamental reason why I have to sign an agreement with him...... I'm not afraid that he will have any thoughts, I am afraid that he will suddenly die and go crazy!"
Only then did the panda understand what was going on, pondered it carefully, and agreed to Pret's invitation.
Early the next morning, a dozen or so travelers who planned to start a family in the Kingdom of Trera went to the "Morning Star Palace", the residence of Prince Zion, under the leadership of Prett, and signed a friendship and mutual assistance agreement with him.
The content and format of the agreement were negotiated in advance, and the pen and paper were provided by the prince. Zion Trella was relieved to sign one agreement after another, each in duplicate, one for each other.
At lunchtime, Pratt returned to the castle with his own agreement, and found Alice, who was bored.
"That's when you think of looking for me......," Alice complained, "and you don't know how to go with me when there's a lot of fun!"
"I haven't been very lively in these years, but I invited you when I got married......"
The "quasi-demon king", who was obviously bored, smacked his lips, put the parchment with the agreement written directly into his mouth, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.
"Alright, I'll finish stamping him. "But with that said, I can't force him." β
"No, no, no. Pratt smiled with relief, "It's good to be stamped, really!"
That night, the Prince of Zion spent a long time in the chamber before finally extinguishing the special incense used to summon demons.
The low-level demons that were usually easily summoned are now nowhere to be found......
