Chapter 104: Change of Words (Revised) Marrying into the Wife's Family
The sound of an explosion woke up Charles who was lost in thought. Charles pushed open the door and hurried out of the headquarters. Before he walked out of the door, he saw the deputy commander running towards him. Seeing Charles, the deputy commander immediately said, "Commander-in-chief Charles, another psychic controlled by a psychic zombie blew himself up. We are so lucky that the person outside triggered the mental suggestion mechanism. Otherwise, if someone enters the headquarters, we will all be finished."
Charles' face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He asked, "Where are those psychics? Aren't they guarding the entrance to the headquarters? Everyone entering and leaving the headquarters needs to undergo a mental examination, and only those who are safe can enter. How come there are still questionable psychics sneaking in?"
The deputy commander smiled bitterly and said, "Commander-in-Chief Charles, I have sent psychics to guard the entrance of the command center as you ordered. However, even so, not all psychics who have been mentally suggested by zombies can be detected."
"Why can't it be detected?" Charles asked.
The deputy commander choked for a moment before saying, "If the mental power of the zombies that planted the mental suggestion is higher than that of our psychic, they will be able to deceive our psychic."
"Useless, a bunch of useless. What did those psychics tell me before? As long as their psychics can reach the maximum level, they can create miracles.
Okay, I'll satisfy them, whether it's zombie spirits or superpower crystal cores, I'll supply them unlimitedly. I'll raise them all fat and strong, and their mental abilities will reach the maximum level. They've reached the maximum level, but now they're telling me that they can't detect the mental suggestion planted by the zombies!"
The deputy commander did not dare to argue with the furious Charles. When Charles was furious, he was completely irrational and he would really kill someone.
Charles continued to roar: "The brain of an ordinary woman from Jing City Base with no superpowers cannot be opened, and scientific research results cannot be obtained! Nutritional supplements, treatment cabins, mental scanners, holograms, nothing can be produced. What on earth can these mental wastes produce!"
The factories in the Los Angeles base were about to produce a lot of fireflies. The entire base had just been looted by zombies, and everyone thought they would have to go through a hard time. No one expected that the hard time would come before the holograms. Then they had to work overtime. When they realized what was happening, they found that their wallets were bulging and they were not starving. The Los Angeles base seemed to be more prosperous than before the disaster.
At the same time, they also discovered the benefits of joining the Beijing base. The nutritional supplements that used to cost dozens of yuan each now only cost a few yuan or even a dozen yuan, which is very cheap.
The most enviable thing is holography. It costs at most two to three months' salary to buy a terminal and a holographic helmet in their own base, but it costs twice as much outside, and it is cheap if you can buy it with half a year's salary.
The official selling price of the base to the outside world even reached one year's salary, so this led to the resurgence of a profession before the apocalypse - scalper.
Many people will get the internal purchase price from the base, and then resell it to people from external bases. The price will be half cheaper than the official channels. The only disadvantage is that no after-sales service is provided. Even so, there are still a lot of people waiting to grab it.
He Tao came back happily from outside and went to the institute to find Ji An. "Researcher Ji, do you think these unmutated and uninfected animals and plants are qualified?"
After Ji An came to the Luo City base, he expanded the business of purchasing uninfected animals and plants here. People who were familiar with Ji An knew that it was Ji An who purchased the things, and they would subconsciously help Ji An keep an eye out.
Ji An said: "Thank you, I just need these things. If you have more, please continue to send them. You can tell me what supplies you want, as long as I have them here."
He Tao smiled and waved his hands, "Researcher Ji, those are not necessary. As long as you can provide me with more mental scanners and terminals, it will be fine. Don't you know that those people outside are going crazy for them?"
Ji An smiled and said, “As long as we can get uninfected plants and animals, these won’t be a problem.”
Ji An took out several terminals and mental scanners from the space and gave them to He Tao. He was the developer of these two things, so he had plenty of them and could have as many as he wanted.
He Tao took it with a smile on his face, "Dean Ji, you are the money-giving boy. The money I made as a scalper in just a few months is more than what I made in all those years as the commander-in-chief of the Haishi base."
Ji An smiled and said, "The opportunity to make money is still to come."
He Tao nodded, "Dean Ji, you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first."
"Okay." Ji An responded and asked people to check those uninfected animals and plants. Sometimes mutated animals and plants would be found among them. They could just be picked out. Most plants were still unmutated.
Ji An put the animals and plants that were safe after inspection into the space and found that the spiritual energy in the space was more abundant and the spiritual spring water had evolved into a river. As long as he collected more marine life, he could evolve an ocean.
The terminal in Ji An's hand rang. The function of the terminal can replace that of a mobile phone. The terminal has all the functions of a mobile phone. Ji An answered the video call, and Gu Jinsheng's image appeared in the air.
Ji An smiled and said, "Jinsheng, are you not busy now?"
Gu Jinsheng said: "It's okay. As for you, the new experiment has made some progress."
Ji An nodded, "It's under study."
Gu Jinsheng asked: "There are a lot of scalpers reselling goods at the base recently. Should we take care of it?"
Ji An shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. Let them resell it. We will make money in the end anyway. Besides, even if they get the hologram, they can't use it whenever they want."
At T base, Wan Hong finally bought several terminals from scalpers at a high price, and immediately delivered them to DeWitt like presenting treasures.
"Commander DeWitt, I got the terminal!" Wan Hong said happily.
"Really?" DeWitt stood up from his chair happily and walked towards Wan Hong. He smiled at Wan Hong and praised him, "You did a good job."
Wan Hong was flattered and said hurriedly: "I don't deserve your praise, these are what I should do."
DeWitt just said it casually. He took the terminal from Wan Hong and asked, "How do I use this thing?"
Wan Hong himself didn't know, and he only figured it out after searching for terminal usage guides on the Internet using his mobile phone.
"Here is the power button. After turning it on, you just need to enter your identity information." Wan Hong taught DeWitt how to enter his own identity information. Of course, DeWitt could not choose to use his real identity, so he entered fake identity information.
Wan Hong finally said: "You also need to put a drop of blood on this part of the terminal, and then put on the helmet to scan your iris."
DeWitt said dissatisfiedly: "Why is there still blood dripping?"
"It seems to be recording genes. One terminal can only be used by one person and is directly bound to the person recording the genes."
“It’s a lot,” DeWitt complained.
Despite his complaints, DeWitt still obediently underwent the genetic test and iris verification. Just as he was excitedly waiting for the results, the terminal suddenly began to beep. The sound was harsh and sharp, just like the highest alarm sounded when the base was attacked.
"Unfortunately, your genetic and iris test results show that you are European, which does not meet the requirements for using the terminal. You cannot use the terminal. The terminal is not open to people other than Xia people. The way you obtained the terminal may not be legal, and the terminal will go into hibernation. Of course, if you are a European who has obtained Xia nationality, you can contact the manufacturer immediately to unlock and register it for you."
Europeans and Asians can be distinguished through genetic testing. The test strips at the terminal port are used to monitor genes and distinguish between Asians and Europeans.
DeWitt's face darkened, and he stared at Wan Hong gloomily, "What does this mean?"
Wan Hong explained: "I don't know, I haven't used it before, I just got it and sent it to you immediately."
DeWitt said coldly: "Now you try it."
Wan Hong tremblingly dripped his blood onto the terminal and performed an iris scan at the same time. "Ding ding ding, your genetic test and iris test results show that you are Asian, but your identity is Wan Hong, the commander-in-chief of T base who has joined M base. You are no longer a Xia citizen, so your identity does not meet the conditions for using the terminal and you cannot use the terminal. The terminal is not open to people other than Xia citizens. The way you obtained the terminal may not be legal, and the terminal will go into hibernation. Of course, if you are a European who has acquired Xia citizenship, you can contact the manufacturer immediately to unlock and register it for you."
Wan Hong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
DeWitt said angrily: "You idiot, don't you know when your own blood sample was leaked?"
The terminal was able to detect Wan Hong's identity through blood in the first place, which meant that Wan Hong's blood had already been available at the Beijing base, and his data had been transmitted to the terminal early on, and he had been included in the banned list in advance.
"Go to your base and find an inlander to come over and see if he can be used."
There are many people from the mainland here at T base. These people are stranded in the mainland for various reasons and can be easily found.
It was the same steps as before, but this time the identity test was passed. DeWitt and Wan Hong both looked unhappy.
DeWitt did not ask them to log off immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity when they logged in to check and found out how late they had obtained the terminal. Now the number of people using the terminal has reached hundreds of thousands, including many ordinary people.
DeWitt took a look at the rankings. The first place in the psychic ability ranking was Ji An, the second was Gu Jinsheng, the third was Owen, and the fourth was Wan Xueying. The first place in the combat power ranking was Ji An, the second was Gu Jinsheng, and the third was Owen...
These names were so familiar. DeWitt had not expected that they would dare to use their real names on the terminal. It was so arrogant.
DeWitt said, "You challenged Ji An, I want to see if he is the real one."
The man did as he was told, but Ji An was not online. The terminal prompted that Ji An would only be online twice a week, each time for an hour, half an hour for guidance and half an hour for accepting challenges.
Wan Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Such an arrogant style of behavior must be Ji An himself. However, Ji An is ranked first in mental power, but how can he also be ranked first in combat power? Gu Jinsheng, this waste, can't even beat a mid-level mentalist?"
DeWitt said coldly: "How can I not win? It's just some fun between lovers."
At the same time, Charles also got the terminal. He encountered the same problem, that is, he had the terminal but couldn't log in. Charles narrowed his eyes like a venomous snake and ordered, "Go and bring up the woman from the Jing City base."
Soon someone brought Tang Tang up. Tang Tang had become so thin that she looked unrecognizable. Even if Ji An stood there, he wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Charles threw down a terminal and said, "Let her log in and try."
Tang Tang was like a puppet without a soul, and the assistant fiddled with her at will. After the assistant finished, he shook his head at Charles and said, "I can't log in. It says here that this woman is called Tang Tang, and she is the enemy of the terminal developer, so the developer refused to let her log in."
Charles suddenly laughed, "It seems that we have caught the treasure. This Tang Tang must know Ji An's big secret, which is why Ji An is targeting her so much.
Okay, take her away and take good care of her. Don't kill her. Look at how we treated our guests. This won't do. And as I said before, as long as I can't pry open this woman's brain, I will kill a mental waste. Did you kill the mental waste today?"
At the same time, the Beijing base also dispatched a large number of fighter jets to drop terminals for free at major bases abroad. The fighter jets flew a circle over those bases, dropped some terminals and disappeared.
He Tao was puzzled by this action and asked: "Researcher Ji, why do we deploy terminals to these bases? Aren't our terminals not for foreigners to use?"
Ji An explained: "Originally, these terminals were not prepared for those foreigners, but for us Xia people ourselves.
There are many people from our country stranded in foreign countries. It’s not that they don’t want to come back, but they can’t come back for the time being. These people’s hearts belong to our Xia country. Sooner or later, we will take them back.”
"Take it back?" He Tao was secretly surprised by these three words. He always felt that Ji An might make a bigger move.
After Gu Jinsheng finished dealing with the matters at the Luo City base, they returned to the Jing City base. Zhou Qin and the high-level psychics of the base were already waiting at the airport.
When they landed, a few people greeted each other, and many people began to secretly look at Ji An.
Ji An certainly knew why these people looked at him that way. Of course, it was because the news of Gu Jinsheng's proposal with fireworks at the Luo City base that night was reported back to the base, so everyone had such an attitude.
Zhou Qin smiled and joked: "When will the boss and Ji Shen hold their wedding this time?"
Zhou Qin thought it would be Ji An who would reply, but he didn't expect that Gu Jinsheng, who usually kept silent, would reply this time: "Go back and check the perpetual calendar and choose an auspicious day. Then I will invite you to attend my wedding with Xiao An."
Everyone could no longer hold back their gossipy eyes and looked at Ji An. If Gu Jinsheng hadn't been here, they would have probably started discussing all this heatedly right on the spot.
Zhou Qin opened his mouth wide, "Boss, you are really the boss, aren't you being controlled by something? Why are you so unlike yourself? You were not like this before."
Wan Xueying said, "Love, the boss is under the mental control of love. No matter how powerful the psychic is, no one can break it."
In the evening, an unexpected yet expected person arrived at the door of Ji An's villa, Gu's mother, Dai Xin.
Dai Xin is still as gentle as ever. Although she is not a girl from the Jiangnan water town, she has some of the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman.
"I heard you guys were back, so I came over." Dai Xin smiled gently, "I specially prepared dinner tonight, do you want to come over and eat with me?"
Ji An did not agree immediately. After he and Gu Jinsheng had a spiritual connection, there were no more secrets between them. Gu Jinsheng knew everything about his space and the spiritual spring. Ji An also knew everything about Gu Jinsheng, including that after they separated as children, Gu Jinsheng was sent to a closed school for long-term training.
Gu Jinsheng didn't have any feelings about that memory, but Ji An felt sorry for him. It was obvious that for a child that young, it was time for him to be naughty and playful, but Gu Jinsheng had to accept militarized management every day. He had parents, but he could only see them once a month.
Such a growing experience made Ji An feel distressed. Ji An couldn't hate Gu Jinsheng's parents, but he couldn't forgive them either. So Ji An didn't agree to Dai Xin's request on his own, but said to Dai Xin: "Aunt Gu, wait a moment, I'll ask Jinsheng."
"Jinsheng, Aunt Gu invited us to dinner tonight. Do you have time?"
Gu Jinsheng walked out of the house and nodded to Dai Xin with an indifferent expression, which was no different from the attitude he showed to outsiders.
Dai Xin smiled and said, "I've prepared everything. You guys can come back and eat. We haven't been together during the Chinese New Year, and we all miss you."
Gu Jinsheng nodded, "Okay."
Ji An then followed up by saying, "Then I'll bother Aunt Gu tonight."
Gu Jinsheng suddenly said, "Call me mom."
Ji An's face suddenly turned red, while Dai Xin smiled without any change in expression. It was obvious that she had received the news in advance.
Although Ji An's face was red, he still said to Dai Xin openly: "Thank you, Mom. We will go there right away after we finish cleaning up here."
"Okay." Dai Xin's eyes swept across the two children and then moved away.
After Dai Xin left, Gu Jinsheng said to Ji An: "Thank you."
Ji An was puzzled, "Thank me for what?"
Gu Jinsheng said: "Thank you for changing your mind."
There was heartache in Ji An's eyes. Ever since he and Gu Jinsheng had a mutual understanding, Ji An knew what kind of uneasy heart was hidden under Gu Jinsheng's cold appearance.
Gu Jinsheng is not a naturally indifferent person. The reason why he is so cold is all due to his acquired upbringing.
The number of times any child meets his parents in a year can be counted on dozens of fingers, and he will not be close to his parents. At the same time, he has to undergo closed training during the summer vacation of each semester. Such intensity leaves him no time to make friends, or if he finally has a friend, he will lose contact with him for a vacation because of Gu Jinsheng's closed training. After school starts, the friend makes new friends during the vacation and is not as close as before. Gradually, his personality will become cold and sensitive.
When people meet the person they love, even the most cheerful people will become nervous. Not to mention Gu Jinsheng, who is a sensitive person by nature, who is even more sensitive.
Ji An discovered through Gu Jinsheng's spiritual consciousness that Gu Jinsheng always seemed to feel that he was unreal, as if he might disappear at any time and go to a place where Gu Jinsheng could not find him.
If Ji An likes someone, he doesn't want that person to worry about gains and losses for him. He is willing to give Gu Jinsheng all the sense of security that he can give, to let him know that he also loves him, and that love is no less than his.
Ji An stood on tiptoe, held Gu Jinsheng's head, and kissed him on his soft lips. "Jinsheng, I love you. I am your partner, and your mother is naturally my mother. Of course I have to call you mom. What's there to thank me for?"
Ji An saw that a storm was blowing in Gu Jinsheng's eyes because of his words. Such intense emotions were running rampant in Gu Jinsheng's eyes, and he couldn't control it at all. The next moment, Ji An hugged Gu Jinsheng and pressed him against the wall and kissed him fiercely. Gu Jinsheng's strength was so great that it seemed to be rubbed into Ji An's bones and blood.
Dai Xin prepared a table of dishes, and all the people from the Gu family were present. It was obvious that the Gu family really missed Gu Jinsheng, but the awkward atmosphere between them was also real. Ji An did not say anything to try to ease that atmosphere. He just ate quietly, and occasionally put some of Gu Jinsheng's favorite dishes into Gu Jinsheng's bowl.
After dinner, Father Gu took out a cage from the space, which contained uninfected and unmutated animals.
Father Gu said, "I know you have everything you need, but my son is getting married, and as a father I can't just say nothing. I heard that Xiao An has been collecting these non-mutated animals and plants recently, so I got some of them as a wedding gift for you."
Although Ji An really needed these things, he did not accept them directly. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Jinsheng.
Gu Jinsheng said: "Thank you, Dad."
Ji An then smiled and said to Father Gu: "Thank you for the gift, Dad."
Before leaving, Gu Jinsheng took out the treatment cabin, three terminals and a helmet from the space and said, "Mom, Dad, and little brother, these are prepared for you. Please accept them."
Dai Xin said with a smile: "You don't know, when the hologram came out, your father and your brother went crazy and wanted to get one back. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to use your connections, so they never bought it. This thing is really too difficult to buy."
Little brother Gu's eyes lit up. He took the terminal from Gu Jinsheng and said curiously, "Brother, you can rest assured to marry into the family. I'm at home, so you don't have to worry."
Father Gu slapped little brother Gu on the head and cursed, "Is your brother so worthless?"
Gu Jinsheng said, "Mom and Dad, that treatment cabin is a new upgrade. It is not available on the market. It includes artificial in vitro culture technology. If you have a broken leg, you don't need to go to the hospital. You can lie in it and receive treatment. It's very rare."
"Oh. I know." Father Gu was shocked. He didn't expect the treatment cabin to be upgraded so quickly.
It was not until the two of them left that younger brother Gu said, "Dad, don't you think what elder brother said just now was strange? His last words seemed to mean that the treatment cabin was very precious and worth the money he spent on marrying into the family."
"Commander-in-Chief Ichiro Kobashi, what should we do? There are residents marching and protesting on the streets again?" The deputy commander-in-chief hurried in.
Ever since the Beijing base has been deploying terminals to the R base for no reason, the residents of R have been rioting, with residents marching and protesting on the streets every day.
Ichiro Kobashi had a splitting headache. He was worried about everything. The M base was pressuring him over there, and the psychics in this base were pressuring him.
