Take Gerard to the base.

Their residence is a hotel, which is quite good judging from the furnishings alone. At least it has all the basic daily necessities, and the three meals a day seem to be quite good as well, with a chef specially hired to prepare them.

Considering the scale of the exercise base, it is already very good.

Leading Gerard forward, Bai Ling said casually: "Organize the language."

"I'll take you to meet some of your future teammates later," he turned his head and glanced at Gerrard, "Since I promised your master to train you well, I won't be overly biased."

"Just like Ji Qianqin, you are a candidate member of Ming Zhou. Now, compared with other things, it is more important for you to learn how to behave and gain a foothold in society. These are things you cannot learn from your teacher. You can only learn a little bit from people of the same age."

Hearing this, Gerard's lips moved.

He seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it right away.

As a pure person who hardly smokes e-cigarettes... and has almost no distracting thoughts, it is easy to understand Gerard's thoughts, but it is also very difficult.

I say they are simple because sometimes they are easy to guess, and their thoughts are all on their faces. If they want to go to the toilet, they go to the toilet, and if they want to eat, they eat. They are not like adults who beat around the bush and ask "Have you eaten?"

But sometimes, Gerrard's ideas are really strange.

His wild imagination is probably a common problem for geniuses like him.

For example, now.

Faced with Gerard's helplessness, Bering had to roll his consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness and touch the future lightly between the waves.

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Gerard, and groaned: "I can probably understand the problem you are talking about."

"You don't need to worry too much about this," he said. "The people I'm going to take you to meet are generally good people in the conventional sense, and they won't be overly enthusiastic. You don't need to be afraid."

Hearing this, Gerard suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Bai Ling.

Faced with this smile, Bai Ling looked somewhat helpless.

No one would know that just now it took Bering about six minutes to finally hear what Gerard wanted to say.

The question he was thinking about was rather strange. He was wondering if he would be rejected if he walked into the base with such a strange appearance. Or would people surround him and ask him questions as if he were a rare animal?

He hated being treated as a center of attention and hated being excluded. His heart was as crystal clear as glass and could break into pieces if it fell.

Looking at Gerald, Bering felt a little headache.

He originally thought that he could roughly guess that Gerard would be a very simple person, but Bailing still did not expect that this blacksmith was not only simple, but also introverted and inferior.

Well, it's a little tricky.

If you want Gerrard to pass the test in the future, then you have to change his character.

The diary once recorded an interview with Gerrard.

In the future, Gerrard will still be very introverted and shy, but at least he will be much better than he is now. He will be able to say a few words when facing the camera, instead of being unable to utter a single word for a long time when facing strangers.

According to future Gerrard, his personality a few years ago was actually very bad and weird.

Of course, things are not much better now.

"But at that time, how should I put it? Because I didn't have too many distracting thoughts in my mind, I was so naive and simple that it was scary."

Future Gerard recalled the past and said, "It's actually quite scary, because if I keep on being like this, I will definitely not be able to pass the trial in a few months. It's no exaggeration to say that if I were so dull and naive to take the trial path, I would definitely die."

"But later on, because of some things, I became more open-minded," Gerrard said with a smile, "I should also thank that person. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would still be so innocent and ignorant of the world."

This is probably one of the few times Gerrard talks about his past experiences.

According to him, he has grown a lot because of a woman. Although he is still in love, at least he is not shocking anymore.

If what Gerard said was correct, then this woman was probably the one that Gerard was obsessed with when he was young, and the one that George Wells dissuaded from "hanging herself on a tree".

If the information in the diary was correct, then Bering remembered that the woman was more or less a mental patient.

…It’s better to say that which genius in the future is not mentally ill? In the original world, Ding Yan is a violent and cruel executioner, Ji Qianqin is a live broadcast maniac who dares to eat alien species alive, Song Qingci is a delicate and fragile saint, "Black Scythe" Peter is a hopeless senior brother control, and Gerald is a complete love brain…

Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but take a breath.

Why do people in the previous generation seem quite normal, but the next generation becomes weird?!

It is obvious that people like Wang Weizheng and Qi Guang can be regarded as heroic role models, not to mention Wu Dayou, Song Weilu and Oliver from earlier times. Each of them is determined, unwavering and full of compassion. Although they have certain minor shortcomings, they are still like lighthouses, illuminating the way forward for others.

Why is it that in this generation, people can't help but marvel at the richness and diversity of the human genome?

Is it that humanity has collectively progressed or has it collectively regressed?

Bai Ling couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When he walked into a floor specially opened for "Daytime" in the Countermeasures Bureau.

The elevator door opened, and Bering reached out and grabbed Gerard's hat.

At present, this introverted and shy guy was wearing a gray hoodie with rabbit ears on it, so Bering grabbed his rabbit ears and pulled him back half a step, causing Gerard to stagger a little.

The next second, Ding Yan walked in with a cell phone in his hand, and his footsteps landed exactly where Gerrard was originally.

If Bai Ling hadn't acted in time, the two of them would have collided with each other.

Before Jerad could react, Bai Ling reached out and snatched Ding Yan's phone away: "Don't play with your phone while walking."

Ding Yan's cell phone was suddenly taken away and he didn't react at first.

He looked around blankly, and then when he saw Bai Ling, he subconsciously said "Ah": "Prophet? You are here?"

Looking at the phone in Bai Ling's hand, Ding Yan said a little embarrassedly: "I know, I won't do it again next time."

Shaking his head, Bai Ling handed the phone back to Ding Yan.

The reason why he took out his cell phone was not because he was addicted to coaching and particularly wanted to preach to Ding Yan, but purely because Gerrard was not suitable to be with Ding Yan at the moment.

If two people collide, something bad might happen.

Ding Yan himself could probably sense something now.

He touched his chest and said in confusion: "Hey, why do I feel a burning sensation in my chest..."

This is normal.

After all, Honglian calls himself the "Lord of Fire", and the "Breath of Hephaestus" inherited by Gerard is also the flame of the god of fire and forging.

"Breath of Hephaestus" is something Gerald was born with. It is a ball of flame that never goes out, entwined around Gerald's heart, sharpening his senses and allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in forging.

With this thing, Gerard can manipulate the temperature and flame during forging in order to achieve the best state of the material.

So it comes down to a fire manipulation type of thing.

This conflicts with "Red Lotus".

After all, even though Honglian was dead, his arrogance towards fire still remained among the wreckage. At this time, if the fire of the gods, which was more noble than him, appeared, it was no wonder that Honglian felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

This was a complete stress reaction, and had nothing to do with Ding Yan and Hong Lian. All I could say was that if the two of them walked together, regardless of their own wishes, the fire in their bodies would definitely blow their brains out.

This is a characteristic problem, and it is a situation that cannot be avoided as long as it exists. The master of fire will inevitably try to challenge the gods who hold the power of wrath in history, roaring forward with unstoppable bravery. Only when one side is crushed to pieces and the winner is determined, the struggle for the blazing flames will stop.

So, under normal circumstances, two people should not have close contact.

But Bering didn't think so.

'Although the two of them seem to be incompatible... incompatible, perhaps that is not the case.'

Stroking his chin, Bai Ling looked at Ding Yan and Gerald, thinking: "Honglian is dead, and its fighting spirit can be weakened. And the flame of the God of Fire is too weak to force Gerald to fight Honglian."

Therefore, although the two sides were nominally competing for the authority of fire, it was impossible for it to develop into a life-and-death struggle. After all, their authority was too weak.

So Bering had an idea.

Although the quantity of red lotus is huge, its quality is not as good as the Fire God's Flame Breath; and although the quality of the Fire God's Flame Breath is extremely pure, its quantity is far from enough.

So, can we just let the two fight each other and see if we can come up with a situation where both sides can move forward? Bai Ling thinks the possibility is quite high.

After all, neither of them is the type to be aggressive, and the fire in both of them is very malleable, so it is well worth investing in.

Besides, Ding Yan is much better than Gerrard in terms of life experience. It would be good for Gerrard to learn more from him.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling patted Ding Yan on the shoulder and said, "This is a new friend, Gerald Harold from Western Europe. You can just call him Gerald."

"Although he wasn't with us during the rehearsal, he was with us before and after the performance. You can guide him a little and teach him some common sense."

Having said that, Bai Ling withdrew his hand, thought for a moment, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Ding Yan.

He warned, "When the exercise begins, I may not be able to stay with you, so you will have to rely on yourselves. However, if any difficult problems arise, open this box."

Hearing this, Ding Yan subconsciously took the exquisitely packaged small box and carefully put it in his pocket: "Got it, Prophet."

Nodding with satisfaction, Bailing said to Gerard again: "This man is a good guy. You should learn from him for a while. I have something else to do next."

Gerard looked at Bering, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Bai Ling's reaction was much faster than Gerard's: "I know you want to ask about forging. When things here are settled, I will guide you..."

Bai Ling smiled and shook his head, "I can't say it's guidance, I can only say it's letting you guide yourself. Well, this is probably the best teaching method."

Saying something that Gerald couldn't understand at all, Bai Ling pushed the two people out of the elevator: "Okay, go in quickly. Have a good rest and don't be late tomorrow."

With that, the elevator door closed again and Bai Ling disappeared behind the elevator.

Only Gerard and Ding Yan turned their heads and stared at each other.

After a long while, Ding Yan finally spoke tentatively: "Hello, Gerard... Gerard?"

He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what language he should use. In the end, he decided to use his native language.

Previously, the prophet spoke to this foreigner in his native language, so he probably understood...

Ding Yan thought with some guilt.

Gerard was silent for a long time before he nodded silently and said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito: "Hello..."

This greeting made Ding Yan feel relieved.

Fortunately, we can communicate.

Being able to communicate means being able to have a good relationship! Thinking of this, Ding Yan smiled at Jerad: "Hello, my name is Ding Yan, and I am Ming Zhou's 'Red Lotus'."

"The man who left earlier was our leader, the Prophet. You should know this, right?"

prophet……

Recalling his teacher's words, Gerard nodded to show that he understood.

Glancing at Gerard, Ding Yan said enthusiastically, "You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat something first. The food here is good. Although you may not have tried it much, you will find it delicious once you get used to it."

As he said this, he led Gerald into the cafeteria.

They were still chatting on the road as they walked, and the topic they talked about was the area Ding Yan was most familiar with: "By the way, do you like the second dimension? Do you watch anime?"

Gerard: "...I've seen a little bit, Tom and Jerry."

Ding Yan: "Sure, watching anime is also a way to relieve stress. I'll recommend you a few when the time comes, they must be all excellent. Ah, if you don't like it, I can also recommend you a few movies..."

The two people's voices gradually faded away.

On the other side, Bai Ling, who was already walking under the sun, chuckled, with a happy expression as if he had seen something interesting.

Soon, it was afternoon.

Most countries have already arrived at the exercise site.

Before starting the exercise, a small meeting is required.
