Wang Xiaotian and Ye Jianjian came to the restaurant. It's not yet lunchtime, and there are no diners in the restaurant, only the staff is busy.

Seeing the two of them, a staff member greeted them and said, "I'm sorry, it's not yet lunchtime." ”

Ye Jianjian looked at the staff and said, "You don't know him?"

The staff took a serious look at Wang Xiaotian, nodded immediately, and said, "I know." He is Mr. Wang Xiaotian. ”

Ye Zhanjian said: "Since you know each other, it's easy to do." The two of us were uncomfortable, so we opened a small stove and cooked a few delicious dishes to eat. ”

The staff looked embarrassed.

Without waiting for the staff to refuse, Ye Jianjian immediately said: "Don't be busy refusing yet, you'd better ask your superiors for instructions before making a decision." ”

The staff nodded, said "Wait a minute", and turned to leave.

After a while, he and a fat man hurried in.

The fat man came to Wang Xiaotian and said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I really didn't expect the two of you to come, so I neglected the two of you, and I invited you two quickly. ”

The fat man led the two to a small box, politely invited the two to take a seat, and then asked with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, what do you want to eat?"

Ye Zhanjian said: "Just pick up what you are good at, and the last three or five things will be done." ”

"Good, good. Wait a minute. ”

Fat man and staff go out. Wang Xiaotian asked: "Is it appropriate for us to do this? The restaurant will be open normally for a while, and then it will be in the restaurant outside, can't it be better to line up to eat like everyone else?"

Ye Zhanjian looked at Wang Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotian, if you don't use your privileges, you can't use them in the future." ”

Wang Xiaotian was very strange and asked, "Why can't it be used?"

Ye Jianjian explained: "We are guests now, and in the base, guests have the privilege of opening a small stove. In the future, if you stay in the base, you will have to be disciplined and lose any privileges. ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Do you remember the past?"

Ye Zhanjian nodded.

Wang Xiaotian immediately approached Ye Zhanjian and said with a hippie smile: "Then what is really going on with Bao Zhen, you also remember?"

Ye Zhanjian pushed Wang Xiaotian away, "Get out." ”

Wang Xiaotian still didn't die, and said, "Did you remember the ridiculous things you did before?"

Ye Zhanjian glanced at him and didn't speak.

Wang Xiaotian still wanted to ask, but Ye Zhanjian said angrily: "If you are verbose, I will beat your ass!"

Wang Xiaotian immediately closed his mouth in amusement. Curiosity is curiosity, if you annoy Ye Zhanjian because of curiosity, it will be too cost-effective.

The two were silent for a while, and suddenly they heard someone talking outside. A voice was the fat man just now, "Lao Hong, why are you here today?"

Another old voice replied, "Those rabbit cubs went crazy all night yesterday, and they slept like dead pigs, and they couldn't kick them." I had no choice but to make a trip. ”

"Haha, I've arranged for the kitchen to do it. However, there are people who eat small stoves today, and they occupy the mouth of the stove, so they have to be a little later. Wait a minute. ”

The old man's voice: "Yesterday's carnival drank too much, can eat Xiaozao, the level is not low." ”

Fat man: "It's not the people from the base, it's the two distinguished guests from yesterday's game." ”

Hearing someone talk about them, Wang Xiaotian and Ye Jianjian glanced at each other and immediately pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

The old man's voice: "What game?"

The fat man was surprised, "Last night, our base competed with the mecha of Base Three." You don't know anything?"

The old man's voice: "How can I have that idle time." ”

The fat man was even more surprised, "So, you didn't sign up for the competition either?"

The old man's voice: "Hey, can anyone sign up?"

The fat man hurriedly said, "Of course." Just find five people, sign up for the contest, and you'll get a Level 3 booster! Oh, you don't need it. However, if you're lucky enough to win two games, you'll get a level 4 booster! ”

The old man's voice said: "Damn! No one told me this! These bunnies, no wonder they have been politely asking me to be on duty for them for the past two days! It turns out that they have already discussed that I should be on duty so that they can go to the game!

The fat man was obviously angry, "How can they do that!

The old man's voice said, "No!" I need to go to the steward. I need a booster so much. ”

Fat man: "And what about the food you want?"

"Eat a fart! Let these bunnies go hungry first. The old man's voice faded away.

Wang Xiaotian and Ye Zhanjian looked at each other, the competition has been announced for a while, why don't anyone know?

After a while, the fat man personally pushed the dining cart to serve the food. After he finished serving, he said with a smile on his face: "Two distinguished guests, please use it slowly." ”

Wang Xiaotian suddenly asked, "Who is the old gentleman who talked to you just now?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "What you said is that we are talking about the competition together, right? His surname is Hong, and he is our old maintenance worker here." ”

"Maintenance worker?" Wang Xiaotian was surprised. Because of this profession, it is easy to hide the dragon and crouching tiger, and there is a fight with the sweeping monk.

So, he asked a little excitedly, "Repair or something?"

The fat man said: "They are responsible for a lot of maintenance, pipelines, lines, and machinery can do it." Our base is so big, and a lot of equipment needs regular maintenance. If it is broken, it needs to be repaired quickly. ”

"Why doesn't he know about the mecha competition?"

The fat man explained: "Sometimes, they need to go deep into the inner workings of the equipment, and it is normal for them to miss where the communication is interrupted. However, those guys who were with him knew but didn't tell him, it was too inauthentic. ”

Wang Xiaotian guessed that if all the maintenance workers signed up for the competition, they would definitely be arranged to take turns on duty, and there would be unlucky guys who would not be able to participate in the competition after registering, so they joined forces to deceive Lao Hong.

Wang Xiaotian asked, "This Lao Hong, can he operate a mecha?"

The fat man scratched his head and said, "I really don't know about this." I'm just in charge of cooking in the cafeteria, and I don't know much about the rest. However, if you sign up, you can get the booster, which is the same as picking it up for nothing, who will refuse?"

Ye Jian said: "That old Hong looks quite angry. Does he need a booster then?"

The fat man said, "Of course. Lao Hong is old, even if he can't use enhancers to improve his physical fitness, it is good to prolong his life for a few years. Who would be afraid of too many reinforcers? Anyone would be angry. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Then do you think he went to the steward and said, can he succeed?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "Eighty percent is no play." Our commanders have repeatedly stressed that discipline is discipline and must not be spoken. Unless......" The fat man glanced at the two of them, smiled and didn't speak.

However, Wang Xiaotian understood what he meant, unless the two of them went to talk to Xuanying. Because they are guests, the face of the guests, Hyun Young will still give it.

However, can the two of them make Xuanying sell face for a stranger? Not to mention that the price of face is actually higher. If Xuanying agreed to them, and then asked them for anything, would they be too embarrassed to refuse?

How to choose Ye Zhanjian, Wang Xiaotian didn't know, but his own cheek was not thick enough to refuse.

The fat man was very shrewd, and when he saw that the two of them didn't speak, he immediately smiled and said, "Please use it slowly." After saying that, he nodded and retreated.

The two of them were hungry, and they didn't take the little episode just now to heart, and when the fat man went out, they immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate like a whirlwind.

I have to say that the taste of the small stove is better than the big pot of dishes. The two of them almost bit off their tongues when they ate.

After eating, the two came out of the room satisfied, and at this time, the restaurant began to come to eat one after another.

Seeing the two of them, those staff members, immediately all eyes were on them, and their eyes were full of eagerness.

Fortunately, there was strict discipline in the base, and they did not rush up and surround the two. Seeing this, the two hurriedly walked out.

After walking a few steps, the two saw an old man in his sixties, who rushed over angrily. His gray hair was unkempt, his face was stained with oil, and he was wearing washed white canvas overalls, which were covered with clumps of stains.

These stains are old and new, and some stains have become inseparable from the fibers of the garment after years of repeated scrubbing.

The old man walked over and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! How can this be reasonable! These bastards don't take me seriously at all, and even say that I am not ranked enough! The ranking is useless! It is simply an insult to the heavenly reckoner!"

Wang Xiaotian didn't care about the old man, but suddenly when he heard the old man talk about the heavenly arithmetic, he suddenly had a spirit, and immediately greeted him, and arched his hand: "Old man, ......"

Before Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, the old man raised his head, looked at Wang Xiaotian with his eyes like lightning, and suddenly interrupted his words and asked, "You look at Miansheng, is it that distinguished guest, Wang Xiaotian?"

Although Wang Xiaotian wondered, how did he know his name? He didn't have time to think about it, nodded and said, "Yes, I am Wang Xiaotian." ”

The old man looked at Wang Xiaotian again, and said very seriously: "Listen, I want to have a game with you." ”

Wang Xiaotian was suddenly confused, "What?"

Many people in the restaurant heard the old man's words and looked this way.

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man said word by word: "I, I want to have a game with you, a mecha war." ”

The crows are silent, and the falling needles can be heard. Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man, looking at him like a fool.

Wang Xiaotian didn't. He asked very cautiously, "Why do you want to compete with me in a mecha war?"

The old man said: "Because someone made me bad, I missed the opportunity to sign up." I went to the theory of stewardship, and they prevaricated me with rules and discipline. I said, as long as I sign up, I have the ability to win a level 4, no, level 5 booster. ”

"They laughed when they heard it, and said that you led the team, and yesterday won the player from Base Three. If I really want to prove my ability, I can play against you, and if I win against you, I can prove that I have this ability. ”

Wang Xiaotian suddenly sweated. He hurriedly said, "Old man, let's put the game on hold first." I don't know how this happened to me. Let's take a look at it little by little. ”

"First of all, you didn't make it to the team event, did you?"

The old man nodded, "Yes." ”

"I didn't report because your colleague hid the game from you. ”

The old man nodded again.

Wang Xiaotian said: "Look, the cause of this incident has nothing to do with me, right?"

The old man hesitated and nodded.

Wang Xiaotian continued: "Next, you go to the theory of stewardship, and they use regulations and discipline to shirk you. Isn't that right?"

The old man nodded.

"Look, that's none of the business, right?"

The old man hesitated again for a moment, then nodded under the gaze of everyone.

Wang Xiaotian continued: "Then, you said that if you sign up for the competition, you are confident that you can win a fifth-level booster, right?"

The old man nodded.

Wang Xiaotian said: "Then, they said, let you come and have a game with me to prove your strength, right?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, that's what happened. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "However, from beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with me? Your failure to sign up for the competition is the problem of your colleagues." The steward doesn't give you an explanation, it's his problem. Do you think this has anything to do with me?"

The old man looked gloomy in front of everyone, and said, "No." ”

Wang Xiaotian said again: "Also, have you thought about it? Even if I promise to compete with you and you win me, who will give you the booster you need?"

The old man listened with a puzzled face. It was clear that he cared a lot about this booster.

Wang Xiaotian suddenly asked, "You just said that you are a celestial calculator?"
