Chapter 169 [Catching Bugs]

Chapter 169

The arrival of the border troops finally rescued KID. Seeing that the border troops were in control of the situation, the media nearby did not take much photos, and the interviews that originally wanted to come over were blocked by the security robots that arrived at the airport.

The border troops acted in a swift and decisive manner and quickly took control of the nearby media.

Jiang Simiao got the news from the staff at the airport and found out how such a large group of media came. He remembered that when the KID management ran away, there was also a group of people blocking the bottom of the KID building. Now that they have made it back to the quarterfinals, they are actually returning home in glory.

Shen Xingtang frowned and went to make a call. The media interview was not notified in advance, and he didn't know which interview platforms they were from. It was so chaotic.

KID and his crew had just woken up on the spaceship when this happened as soon as they got off the spaceship. They were shocked awake even though they were not fully awake yet. The short flight didn't give him much time to get ready. Ji Qingfeng took out a hat from his backpack and put it on. "You have to notify me in advance for the interview. I would have shaved earlier."

Lin Yao touched his chin and asked, "Are we big stars now?"

"It's almost done. DE can't even make it to the top 32 this year. We have become the light of Sirius." Ji Qingfeng barely managed to clean up his image. "Thinking back to when we fell from the top 8, we were the fallen light of Sirius. The media always say these nonsense."

DE has never recovered since the cheating incident last season. I heard that their boss simply ran away and set up another team, but there has been no improvement.

Huo Yan greeted the border troops, who nodded at them and said that Lieutenant Colonel Lu was waiting for them at the exit.

Ying Chenlin lowered his head to glance at the communication message and replied to Mr. Qiu. The latter enthusiastically sent him an emoticon package and said that he was waiting for him outside the station.

The Border Army was waiting for KID at the airport. There was also a Border Army starship parked outside the airport. When the warship stopped at Sirius, the Sirius administrator thought something big had happened and several local Sirius leaders came to the scene.

Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao had already heard the whispers of the media nearby, "Did I hear correctly? He just said that we committed a crime."

Huo Yan smiled and said, "We abide by the law, so how could we commit a crime? Let's talk nonsense."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu asked the soldiers around him to explain to other leaders. Seeing that other media were still taking pictures, he sent someone to communicate with the media nearby.

Hearing that the Border Army came to Sirius to look for KID, it was not a big deal, and the Sirius leader said: "We will handle the media side and will not let them say more."

You Su frowned slightly and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lu next to him. The latter was dressed straight in his military uniform with a stern face. "What are you doing here?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu replied: "Performing the mission

. ”

There has never been such a scene when KID got off the spacecraft. The media, border troops and even the Sirius leaders were all there.

As soon as we got out of the station, there was a special car of the border army waiting there. The elderly Mr. Qiu opened the window and greeted KID in a friendly manner when he saw him.

KID hadn't seen Mr. Qiu and others for a long time. He felt a little nostalgic when he saw these familiar faces. The group got into Mr. Qiu's car one by one. The leader outside the car just wanted to ask everyone to go to the Sirius Administrative Bureau for a seat.

Seeing the exhausted KID people, Mr. Qiu rejected their kindness and said, "Let's go directly to the KID base. They also need to rest."

Ji Qingfeng looked at the cars following behind him, while the other soldiers had already returned to the Border Force starship. "Old Lu, we are also friends who have lived together for a lifetime. What mission is it that has brought the starship to this place?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu said: "We have just completed our patrol mission."

Shen Xingtang knew that the car was not a good place to talk.

On the way, Mr. Qiu told his bodyguards not to follow anymore. When they arrived outside the KID building, only their KID people and a few border troops were left.

A group of people returned to the KID base in a grand manner. When Lieutenant Colonel Lu and Elder Qiu were about to enter the KID building, Ji Qingfeng, who was leading the way, waved his hand slightly and explained, "Brother, you have to go this way. The upstairs has been rented to someone else."

"Rent it to others..." Lieutenant Colonel Lu paused.

Ji Qingfeng: "Of course, I collect rent to supplement my family income!"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at the luxurious building in front of him, and finally followed KID into the slightly narrow basement corridor next to the building. It was his first time to come to KID’s small base. There was a complicated look in his eyes, and he was full of uncertainty when he looked at You Su.

You Su ignored him and walked forward with the suitcase. When he passed by Ying Chenlin, he asked, "Can I help you carry it?"

Ying Chenlin originally wanted to go to the maintenance room, and when he saw this, he said, "Is it okay?"

You Su didn't say anything else, and reached out to take Ying Chenlin's suitcase away, "Sure, on the way."

Ying Chenlin watched You Su walk away first, keeping his eyes fixed on his right leg. Seeing that he was walking freely, he became more certain that what he saw in the morning must have been an illusion.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu and Old Man Qiu did not bring any other soldiers with them. They were not used to walking in this slightly narrow corridor. Their border army had lost contact with the internal intelligence of the Dawn Galaxy. They knew that KID lived in an underground base, but they did not expect that such an excellent mecha division could be trained in such a small base.

When Elder Qiu saw Ying Chenlin going to the maintenance room, he nodded to Lieutenant Colonel Lu and asked, "Can I go with you to take a look?"

Ying Chenlin paused slightly and slowed down his pace: "The stairs are a bit steep."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu did not follow, but nodded to Shen Xingtang.

Shen Xingtang hadn't seen anyone from the border army for a long time, so he quickly led Colonel Lu to the conference room.

Arriving at the conference room, Lieutenant Colonel Lu's gaze stopped at a training room not far away that was separated by a virtual screen. Finally, he retracted his gaze. The training room was full of the breath of life. There were even combat uniforms casually placed on the virtual warehouse. Rather than being an orderly training room, it was more like a living room full of the breath of life.

Jiang Simiao: "It's a bit messy, just sit wherever you want."

After pouring tea for them, Shen Xingtang asked, "You came all the way from the border this time. Did something big happen?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu thanked Shen Xingtang and said bluntly, "We came here this time because of Kolya's matter."

Kolya contaminated area? ! Shen Xingtang and Jiang Simiao were a little surprised. It had been a long time since Coria. After they came out of Coria, all matters had been handed over to the border army to handle. They only knew that the issue of fusion weapons in the restricted area had been brought under control, and they hadn't heard any other news since then.

After all, matters involving the border are rarely spread on the Star Network to avoid causing panic among the citizens of the Star Alliance.

"Is there a problem with the fusion group's weapons?" Shen Xingtang asked with a frown.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu said, "That's not the case. Mr. Qiu and I came here to express our gratitude on behalf of the Border General Administration."

The issue of the fused weapons in the contaminated area of ​​Koria was difficult to deal with. After the mecha bases in the Dawn Galaxy and the Second Star Field were evacuated, all matters were handed over to the First Star Field Border Army and the Dawn Galaxy Border Army for handling. Just recently, the fused weapons and all the hidden dangers in Koria were completely resolved.

After hearing that the matter was perfectly resolved, Shen Xingtang felt relieved. "That's good. I didn't let them down for their perseverance over the years."

As a member of the border army, Lieutenant Colonel Lu knew what Shen Xingtang meant. After a while, he said, "All the reports on Koria were submitted not long ago. The Star Alliance Border Army's statement on this matter has just come down, and this matter has been perfectly resolved."

“Because the situation is complicated and the procedures are long, the Border Force General Administration is very grateful for the assistance of the KID base, which may be a little late.”

After Lieutenant Colonel Lu finished speaking, he took out an old brown paper envelope from his arms and handed it to Shen Xingtang: "This is a token of gratitude from the Border Army Headquarters, but please accept it."

gratitude……? Jiang Simiao was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xingtang's eyes flickered slightly, he reached out and took the envelope, and saw several star coin checks inside: "Is this our bonus approved?"

Jiang Simiao was surprised: "There's a bonus for this!?"

After the Koria incident was over, the border troops also helped them a lot. Jiang Simiao really didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Shen Xingtang didn't even mention it in the base.

"A bonus for assisting the border troops in their mission." Lieutenant Colonel Lu accepted this straightforward statement well. He explained, "The bonus should have been paid a long time ago, but the matter of Coria is complicated. Elder Qiu and Lieutenant General Lin pushed for more. The General Administration reported it again and again, and finally the Star Alliance General Administration approved it. This includes letters of thanks and bonuses from the Dawn Border Military Bureau, the First Star Region General Military Bureau, and the Star Alliance General Administration."

Shen Xingtang: "Have you all reported to the Star Alliance headquarters?!"

This is not the first year that the border troops have had trouble, but the fact that the incident was reported to the Star Alliance headquarters is definitely not a simple one.

"I'm not in a position to discuss the details." Lieutenant Colonel Lu stood up and saluted: "The Border Army is very grateful for your help. Please also express my gratitude to all the mecha divisions."

Shen Xingtang nodded: "Colonel Lu, you are too polite."

She pulled out the check and stopped looking when she saw the amount.

Jiang Simiao was not interested in the twists and turns of the border army. He saw Shen Xingtang's hand holding the check tremble slightly, "How much is the bonus? Is it enough for us to repair the mecha this time? Damn! A huge sum of money dropped from the sky!"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu: “…”

Shen Xingtang stood up enthusiastically, "Si Miao, bring us the best tea from our base."

Jiang Simiao went to look for tea without saying a word.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu had just sat down, and when he heard this, he put down the half-finished cup of tea.

Mr. Qiu followed Ying Chenlin to KID's underground maintenance room. As soon as he entered, he saw the grandfather-grandson duo he had seen before busy in the mecha room. The entire maintenance area was filled with damaged mechas. He recognized at a glance that these were the mechas used in KID's competition.

During this time, he also began to learn about the Dawn Mecha League. His students showed him the KID knockout match. He asked, "Didn't you pilot the Abyss?"

"No, the mental power is not suitable for long-term driving. Some parameters of the Yuan mecha need to be adjusted." Ying Chenlin took the maintenance work jacket hanging next to him and put it on. "It can't be used in the short term."

Elder Qiu looked at Ying Chenlin's arm again and asked, "Have you felt better recently? Is there anything wrong with your body or arm?"

"Well, thank you for your concern. I feel much better now." Ying Chenlin nodded: "My arm is better than before. I haven't felt tired while driving a mecha for a long time."

When Elder Qiu saw Ying Chenlin was about to get on the mecha for repairs, he said, "You want to check the worn surface? Do you need help?"

Ying Chenlin was slightly startled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qiu Lao smiled amiably and said, "Don't look at me as someone who deals with pollutants. When I was young, I also studied weapons and mechas. I handled a lot of weapons for the border troops. Wear and tear is a small problem. I am old, but my eyesight is still good."

Mr. Qiu put his cane aside and said, "I am here to talk to you, but it won't interfere with your work, right? I will help you finish your work first."

When Grandpa Gu and Gu Xiaotian saw Mr. Qiu coming, they greeted him in a friendly manner. ④

Mr. Qiu did not get into the cockpit. He chose the foot of the mecha which was convenient for movement and began to check the worn surface. The elderly man wore Gu Xiaotian's maintenance jacket and walked around the foot of the mecha, stopping and starting. The data board was recording all the time.

Ying Chenlin looked down slightly from his high place and quickly immersed himself in his work.

KID was competing in Group A this time, and had more time after the game. Repairing the mecha was not a very urgent matter, but Ying Chenlin thought about the weapons reserves of Black Crow and BZZL1 that they encountered in the Science Cemetery Cave. They were able to win this time because of the six-point advantage of Giant Bear. If Giant Bear had not been fooled and came to rescue the mecha one after another, then in the final game, they would have had a fierce battle with Black Crow and BZZL1 just like in the original meeting.

Ying Chenlin still remembers BZZL1's hydromagnetic cannon. Their advantage is that they destroyed the terrain. Before the terrain was destroyed, bzzl1's hydromagnetic cannon was almost unstoppable in the corridor space, and they were likely to be consumed by bzzl1.

Not only that, there was also the Black Crow that we met later.

The Black Crow's action order is too stable. A Chi Liz can snatch Huo Yan's mecha points from the two mechas of bzzl1, and the battle with them at the collapsed corridor is even more intense... This is the strength of the Dawn Second Mecha Base.

This season, many teams in the Dawn Galaxy are stronger than what is written in the information.

The offseason brought about by the black hole has indeed changed a lot.

When it comes to the ranking competition in the near future, KID is really going to take out all his weapons... You Su's weapons and Theo's, other people's weapons, and the two new medical weapons he is about to complete. Otherwise, it will be difficult to face strong teams like Ji Feng in such an atmosphere.

Ying Chenlin wanted to buy more time, so he didn't dare to slack off.

Several maintenance technicians worked together, and with the help of the data originally recorded by Grandpa Gu, the damage was checked very quickly.

Grandpa Gu and Old Man Qiu got along particularly well. They chatted back and forth while they were repairing the machine. By the time Ying Chenlin finished checking the wear and tear on the high surface and came down, the two old men had almost finished checking the wear and tear on the foot.

During the inspection, KID's mecha technician came back and forth to check on the mecha. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao treasured their mecha very much and would come to ask questions every time they repaired the mecha.

When You Su came over after taking a shower, he noticed the hustle and bustle in the maintenance room. A group of people were gathered together talking and laughing, so he didn't go down to disturb them. He leaned against the programming desk and looked down to see a young boy walking in the crowd. His face did not show the fatigue of last night and he looked full of energy.

Theo said, "I don't know why the border troops came to us."

You Su lowered his eyes and his gaze moved: "It's nothing serious. If there was something serious, they would have kept us on the starship to discuss it."

Huo Yan and Lu Xi came by on their way and greeted Mr. Qiu warmly when they saw him. The atmosphere between the mecha technicians and the maintenance technicians is very good. When Grandpa Gu hears a mecha technician saying that he is not feeling well, he always responds in a friendly manner.

"Can you make the space stick last for 45 seconds next time?" Lin Yao said, "It's too short, not enough to play with."

Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "That has to be approved by the Alliance Modification. The 50 seconds we set at the beginning was rejected several times."

Mr. Qiu was listening nearby and was also amused by KID Mecha Master's creative ideas.

Ying Chenlin was used to seeing Mr. Qiu in a serious state in the control room, and rarely saw him chatting and laughing with his peers. "You seem to be in a good mood."

"I thought of something." Old Qiu looked up at the small maintenance room, "Kid, KID seems to be a very magical place."

Ying Chenlin blinked when he heard this, "This is a very good place."

Mr. Qiu stayed in the maintenance room for a long time. It was not until the afternoon that he said goodbye to Ying Chenlin because it was not suitable for the Border Army starship to stay in Sirius for too long.

Mr. Qiu: "Master Gu's skills are good.

After the reform, the armaments of our border troops have also been improved. This is all thanks to you and Jianheng for promoting the parts reform. The technology comes from Shuguang and it has been a great help to Shuguang. ”

Ying Chenlin: "Thank you for your help today."

"You kid, don't be polite to your grandfather." Old Qiu put his hands behind his back and smiled: "The wear and tear of the mecha is a problem. If you need my help, you can always find me on the optical computer."

Just as Ying Chenlin was about to say something else, Mr. Qiu took out an envelope and gave it to him, "I almost forgot about it. Here you go. It's a New Year's gift."

This year's New Year was spent in training. After training, I rushed to play the game in the Science Cemetery Cave.

KID almost forgot about the New Year. If Mr. Qiu hadn't mentioned it, Ying Chenlin would have forgotten that the Chinese New Year had already passed.

When Mr. Qiu saw that he didn’t take it, he said, “You have to accept the gift from the elders.”

"Thank you." Ying Chenlin had no choice but to take it and found that it was a slightly heavy object.

"We should be able to catch up in time." Old Qiu patted Ying Chenlin's hand, "I won't waste your time. Pay more attention to rest. Grandpa will come again next time."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu was already waiting outside the maintenance room. When he saw Mr. Qiu coming out, he nodded to Ying Chenlin and walked out with his men.

Outside the KID base, the border army soldiers' hovercraft was already waiting. Lieutenant Colonel Lu sent Mr. Qiu to the car, looked at You Su who was behind the crowd, nodded at him, and then got into the car.

"We still have to go to other mecha bases later, so the delay is a bit long." Lieutenant Colonel Lu finished speaking, noticing the smile on Old Qiu's face, "But the time is controllable, and we should be able to return to the border on time."

Mr. Qiu said, "Have you been waiting in the conference room for a long time?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu paused for a moment and replied, "Not bad. I drank two large pots of tea and am a little bloated."

He knew that Mr. Qiu came here specially to see Ying Chenlin. "Have you finished your work?"

"KID is a good place. It reminds me of the time when I worked with Songshan when I was young." Mr. Qiu looked at the KID building getting farther and farther away. "I don't know if KID will still recruit after my re-employment period ends."

He smiled amiably, "I am indeed old, but I can still fix some things."

On the other side, KID watched the hovercraft drive away. Ji Qingfeng leaned beside him and said, "So, Sister Tang, what did you talk about with Lao Lu in the conference room for so long?"

"The border troops sent some things." Shen Xingtang said.

Jiang Simiao pretended to be mysterious: "Guess?"

You Su changed into a light outfit, and seeing Ying Chenlin holding something in his hand, he asked, "Did I bring you something?"

"Well...it's said to be a New Year's gift." Ying Chenlin touched the seal of the envelope, and the electronic seal opened automatically.

What? Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao came over curiously.

Ying Chenlin poured out the contents of the envelope and found several golden cards with some special characters engraved on them.

Jiang Simiao raised his glasses and asked, "What is this thing...?"

The golden card is only the size of a palm, and the entire pattern presents a special sense of mystery. Electromagnetic patterns remain in the corners... In addition to that, there is the card surface, which is engraved with runes and star patterns. At first glance, it is impossible to tell what this thing is used for.

Lin Yao couldn't understand it, so he could only judge: "This card looks very expensive."

You Su narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the origin of this thing: "It's the admission ticket to the Xingxiu Club."

Lin Yao asked in confusion: "What is the Xingxiu Society?"

"Isn't it that appreciation meeting?!" Jiang Simiao opened his eyes wide and looked around. When he saw a certain star mark, he was shocked and said, "It really is."

"The Star Alliance Xingxiu Club is a special organization that organizes a special crystal appreciation meeting. There are a lot of special crystals circulating in that place. It is held every ten years at an undetermined location, and there are very few people who can enter." Shen Xingtang picked up a piece of paper, carefully identified it, and said, "...Mr. Qiu actually gave this thing to you?"

Ying Chenlin paused after hearing this: "A lot of supernatural crystals?"

Shen Xingtang: "A lot. This is a channel of energy crystals that many mecha bases cannot even ask for."

Lin Yao's eyes lit up: "Then there will be a lot of good things!"

Ji Qingfeng: "Do you think it's a windfall? Yaobao, places like this also cost money!"

Huo Yan said: "The things are good, but we don't seem to have money to buy anything when we go in."

When it comes to money, KID and his friends suddenly become depressed.

Shen Xingtang coughed heavily.

"Including the bonuses that we haven't received yet, we didn't lose much this time... We didn't get any windfall, but the border army gave us a bonus." Jiang Simiao said earnestly, then solemnly pulled out an envelope and took out the largest check in it, "After deducting our future expenses, we have this money for you to use--"

KID and the others looked at the check, and their first glance was focused on the countless zeros on it.

Lin Yao's face was almost pressed against the check. "One, two, three..."

"No need to count." Shen Xingtang said solemnly: "One hundred and fifty million."

KID’s eyes widened!

The author has something to say:
