Chapter 064
Rocard got a clear reply from Wu Zimo and no longer stayed to gossip with him. Especially when he saw Wu Zimo's look that said, "Just leave quickly after you finish your business and don't disturb him while he's working," Rocard had even less excuse to stay.
In fact, Adjutant Rocard was indeed very busy. Wu Zimo suddenly came up with such a program that both he and Scott were very optimistic about, although it increased his workload.
However, if Wu Zimo's program can really be improved to be suitable for use in interstellar battleships, it will be an important matter that can enhance the overall strength of the legion. Rocard is happy to run errands.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the lab, Wu Zimo's relaxed expression suddenly darkened.
"Ares."
(≧▽≦) Upon hearing the master's call, Ares in the spiritual world jumped out immediately. Judging from its appearance, it seemed that it had not remembered at all that it had clearly said last night that it would never forgive its master if he didn't kiss him and lift him up ten times.
Looking at Ares with a happy emoticon on his face, Wu Zimo couldn't help but smile even though he was in a heavy mood.
"You little guy knows how to act cute in front of me." But you act cute in such a way that makes people feel hard to get angry with you.
Wu Zimo tapped Ares' forehead with his index finger in amusement, and then continued to ask Ares, who thought his master was playing games with him again.
"Ares, what on earth did you do last night?" The act that caused such a big reaction from Scott and Caesar must not be a simple meaningless act, especially since Wu Zimo actually felt the release of mental power from Ares.
Ares, who was originally happy, was reminded by Wu Zimo and finally remembered the reason why he was angry in the spiritual world last night, and of course his grand ideal.
Ares first showed (○｀ 3′○) to Wu Zimo, and then gently bumped Wu Zimo with his forehead, looking like a baby who was very angry and needed a kiss from his master to be fine.
"...Okay, okay, master, can you kiss Ares?" It was rare that Wu Zimo could understand the emotions that Ares wanted to express at once.
Wu Zimo already had a thorough understanding of Ares' childishness. So there was no way he could possibly quarrel with a child whose IQ was only three or four years old.
Wu Zimo picked up Ares, who had a pouting face, and hit him hard on the forehead, deliberately making a loud noise.
Baji!
"Look, Ares, the master has already kissed Ares, so Ares, please don't get angry with the master, okay?"
(≧▽≦)Okay, okay, master! Ares is the most obedient quantum beast!
Seeing that he had finally appeased his cute little kid, Wu Zimo smiled. Only then did he ask what Ares had done last night that caused such a serious reaction from Scott and Caesar.
When Ares heard that his master finally asked what Ares was most proud of, he first showed an (O_O) and then kept brushing (≧▽≦).
Because Ares was so excited, Wu Zimo couldn't hear what Ares was saying at all.
Feeling all the chaotic and excited emotions coming from Ares, Wu Zimo sighed helplessly again.
Communicating with a preschooler is painful enough, and now it's a preschooler who can't speak and can only show emojis!
If someone had told him before that he wanted to communicate with an egg, MO God said he would have been confused. However, now Wu Zimo only hopes to find an expert in egg language. He really needs a translator urgently!
"Ares! A! Re! S!"
As a last resort, Wu Zimo had to speak up to stop Ares, who had no idea what he was so excited about and whose entire egg was shaking constantly in Wu Zimo's arms. Wu Zimo was really worried that Ares would shake it and break the egg yolk inside.
Of course, Wu Zimo also understood that although Ares was an egg, he was also a quantum beast, and his mental power was materialized.
So under the eggshell, there shouldn’t be yolk and egg white, right?
The excited Ares was suddenly caught by his master and could no longer move. He showed Wu Zimo a (?_?)
"Ares, you are too excited. I can't feel what you are trying to say."
After hearing what his master said, Ares shook, then shyly leaned into Wu Zimo's arms and rubbed against him, indicating that Ares knew he was wrong, so don't blame Ares, Ares is a good child who knows how to correct his mistakes.
"Master knows that Ares didn't do it on purpose, so, can Ares slowly tell the Master what you did last night?"
Wu Zimo, who is not married yet and doesn't even have a boyfriend, has actually learned the skills of a stay-at-home dad so early. Should he feel sad for himself?
With Wu Zimo's guidance, Ares quickly learned how to communicate with his master. Although the process still made Wu Zimo feel strenuous, compared to the bunch of messy thoughts just now, taking it slow was much more effective.
After communicating with Ares at a speed slightly faster than a snail, Wu Zimo finally figured out what Ares had done last night.
Wu Zimo immediately lifted Ares up, not only lifted him up high but also kissed him several times, making the (≧▽≦) on Ares' face almost wiped off.
"Ares, you are really amazing!"
Absolute Defense, such an awesome name is a talent that only this cute little egg of his can possess!
That's right, last night Ares finally managed to control its innate skill, Absolute Defense, and immediately went to its master to ask for praise.
Unfortunately, when Ares used his mental power, he was felt by Scott who had just walked a short distance outside. For unspeakable reasons, the mental power released by Ares contained the guidance pheromones that belonged to Wu Zimo alone, which almost caused Scott and Caesar to go berserk.
Even Scott, a sentinel with a strong will, could not resist this trembling feeling from the soul. Because this attraction is the instinct of intelligent creatures, resisting it is like resisting yourself.
Wu Zimo didn't know that Scott's rampage was due to his guide pheromones. He just thought that the fluctuations caused by Ares's release of mental power were detected by Scott, who had keen five senses.
Given the Marshal's reaction to danger, it's not surprising that he would have such a reaction, especially when strange mental fluctuations suddenly appeared at the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion. People with a strong sense of suspicion might suspect that it was an enemy attack.
After explaining himself, Wu Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Scott's strange behavior last night really scared him. When he heard about mental mania from Rocard today, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats.
However, after hearing Ares' explanation, he could finally put his mind at ease.
After the excitement, Wu Zimo also thought about Ares's problem.
"Ares, you can't easily release your mental power in front of outsiders from now on."
Ares' absolute defense really made Wu Zimo drool. With Ares as his trump card, Wu Zimo didn't have to worry about the mental attacks from the sentinels and guides. Even the Sentinel Guide, whose mental power was stronger than his, still could not break through Ares' defense.
The word "absolute" in front of absolute defense is really not just a saying.
Of course, Wu Zimo has not tested whether Ares’ defense is as powerful as it says, but Wu Zimo believes in his own cute little egg.
Just as he believed in himself, as the embodiment of his mental power, how could Ares lie to him!
After Wu Zimo gave Ares instructions, he saw that it was about to pout again, so he immediately spoke to comfort it.
"As long as Ares is obedient, the master will often lift him up high, and of course give him kisses."
Ares, who was originally preparing to pout at his master, forgot to pout after being coaxed by Wu Zimo, and the emoticon (≧▽≦) was flooding the screen again.
“…”
Ares is really easy to please. It doesn't cost any money, just some time, and even doesn't require any physical energy. But why did Wu Zimo suddenly feel worried when he saw Ares who was so easily coaxed?
My child is so innocent (stupid) that he won't be deceived by those messy people out there...
I really need to keep a closer eye on this cute kid in the future. Other people need to spend money to buy candies to please lolis and shotas, but this one doesn’t even need candies, he will just follow me after a kiss!
Wu Zimo felt more and more like a parent who was worried about his child, worrying about this and that all day long...
Wu Zimo and Ares played around in the laboratory for a while before Ares reluctantly returned to Wu Zimo's spiritual world.
Without the cute Ares, Wu Zimo felt that his laboratory seemed very cold and deserted. Although Ares cannot speak and can only display various emoticons on its eggshell, it makes Wu Zimo feel a wonderful sense of warmth.
"Well, even if Ares isn't here, I'm still going to work hard."
Wu Zimo raised his hand and patted his cheek, cheering himself up in the empty laboratory. However, before preparing for work, Wu Zimo did not forget to find Scott tonight.
Although I know that Scott's abnormality may be due to the perception of Ares' mental fluctuations, regular check-ups are still necessary.
Chapter 065
Scott didn't know what Wu Zimo had experienced today, so when he received Wu Zimo's email asking him to have dinner together. To be honest, the Marshal's icy face was stunned for a moment.
But the marshal is the marshal, and he recovered quickly in less than a second. He directly replied to Wu Zimo with a good word. After seeing the email was sent, Scott's silver eyes showed a warm smile at the same time.
The Marshal is in a good mood now. All the elites from the Condemnation Corps headquarters who came to report to him today, as long as they came out of the Marshal's office, looked dazed.
With so many people, they soon attracted the attention of other elites.
"Hegel, what happened to you?"
Why do the people coming out of the Marshal's office today have such strange expressions? Could it be that the Marshal was mad at Adjutant Rocard again today so they were all implicated? Or were they spreading gossip about the Marshal and Wu Zimo and the Marshal found out?
The first thought was that I wondered whether I should light a starship-shaped candle in silence for Rocard. It felt like this adjutant had to take the blame for everything, even though a lot of the blame was indeed related to him.
As for the other one, it should be said that the elites of the Heavenly Punishment Legion headquarters are all true warriors. They know that they will be retaliated by the Marshal if they spread the gossip, but they still enjoy doing it. It should be said that they are either Masochists or Masochists.
"That shouldn't be the case." Another elite who was surrounding them hesitated for a moment before speaking.
If the marshal was really angry, he would not let them go so easily. Didn’t you see those dirty guys who were chatting about gossip and driving in the restaurant last time? Not only are they still busy with tasks that are impossible to complete, but their daily basic training is enough to make them sit there like salted fish.
“That’s true.”
There were a few examples where everyone gathered around nodded. If they had really offended the Marshal, the expressions on the faces of those who came out of the Marshal's office would definitely not be stupidity but tears.
"So what exactly happened in the marshal's office?" After a round, the topic returned to the previous one.
"Nothing happened."
The few people who were surrounded and chattering by their friends finally came to their senses, shrugged their shoulders and answered directly without keeping anyone in suspense.
"Nothing happened?!"
This answer made those who were waiting to hear gossip look like, "Are you kidding us?" We don't believe the expression.
"Nothing happened, but..."
As expected of a member of the gossip cult like Rocard, he likes to only speak half of what he wants to say. When he sees his friends all have urging expressions, he slowly tells them the truth that has stunned them.
"The marshal is in a good mood today."
“…”
Those gossipers who were waiting to hear some earth-shattering event showed the same expression at the same time: Is the Marshal in a good mood today? ! What is this! Is it possible to daze us, the elites of the Condemnation Legion Headquarters?
It was rare that this group of people who loved to gather together to discuss the Marshal's gossip could still remember their identities and clearly know that they were the elites of the Heavenly Punishment Legion Headquarters...
"The Marshal is in a really good mood today!"
Seeing that their friends were all itching to beat them up, the elites rolled their eyes but still failed to get the point of the words. One of the elites had to pronounce certain words more heavily.
“?!” As expected of a team that cooperates well, the elites who had not yet recovered from their shock immediately grasped the key point, so—
"Hehehe." Another burst of laughter that you and I both understand.
It was a rare day that Scott was in a good mood, and he really turned a blind eye to the behavior of his subordinates, and did not allow them to slack off for a long time.
Because of his appointment with Wu Zimo, Scott handled his work much faster. He had to work until very late every day, but today he actually finished all of it before dinner.
I have to say that the Marshal's potential can still be unleashed.
Just as Scott finished his work, he did not get up immediately, but sat on the chair with his eyes downcast, wondering what he was thinking about.
At this time, Caesar in the spiritual world came out again, rubbed Scott with his neck, and then growled at him.
“No hurry.”
Scott scratched Caesar's chin naturally with his left hand, and his tone was very calm. However, as Scott's quantum beast, Caesar knew that his master's current mood was definitely not as calm as he said.
However, before Caesar could urge its owner, Caesar suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door. At the same time, there was a knock on the office door.
Scott's performance was not much different from Caesar's. He instinctively grabbed the armrest of the chair under him. After realizing his strange reaction, Scott frowned slightly, but still said, "Come in."
The office door was quickly opened, and the person standing behind the door and knocking was indeed Wu Zimo.
Seeing Wu Zimo, Scott's eyes became even deeper.
"Scott what's wrong with you?"
Wu Zimo didn't know what had just happened to Scott. Seeing him looking at him with strange eyes, Wu Zimo looked down and saw that he was wearing the uniform that belonged exclusively to the logistics technicians at the Condemnation Legion Headquarters. It was quite neat and clean.
Although the young man Wu Zimo looked a little younger in this uniform, Wu Zimo never paid much attention to his appearance, so he wouldn't make a fuss about it.
The Marshal who was questioned by Wu Zimo just shook his head. After Wu Zimo saw Scott retract his gaze, he no longer pursued the matter.
After looking at Scott's desk and seeing that there were no piles of documents, Wu Zimo asked, "Are you done with your work today?"
Scott finally responded this time, nodded, and his voice was still the cold and clear voice that belonged only to the Marshal, "Yeah."
"Now that we're done, let's go. By the way, today I heard Luo Ye say that the restaurant has dishes that he has researched and provided. Haha, I'm quite interested in this, and it's a good opportunity for me to go and try it today."
Wu Zimo did not forget that Luo Ye had dragged Rocard to be a food taster before, although looking at Rocard's appearance it seemed that being a food taster was not easy and quite painful.
Seeing that Rocard was so furious, one can imagine what kind of dish Luo Ye made. However, Wu Zimo was still very curious about what dishes Luo Ye had been researching during this period of time.
It was a rare day today when he received Luo Ye's message to remind him that Wu Zimo originally wanted to ask Scott out for dinner, but it was very troublesome to walk back and forth. Fortunately, the restaurant also had private rooms available. Wu Zimo contacted the restaurant manager early in the morning and asked him to reserve a private room for him tonight.
Scott stood up from the chair. This time, Caesar did not stick to Wu Zimo as usual when he saw Wu Zimo. But the look he gave Wu Zimo made him feel more creepy than before.
Wu Zimo kept muttering to Scott in order to distract himself from the way Caesar was looking at him.
Scott walked in front of Wu Zimo. Because of the height difference, Wu Zimo had to take a step back and looked up at the expressionless marshal.
"Scott?"
Wu Zimo didn't know why the Marshal remained silent. As for Caesar, he looked at him with strange eyes. Wu Zimo tilted his head and became even more confused.
"It's okay, let's go." Scott reached out and patted Caesar on the head, then said to Wu Zimo.
"Ah? Oh." Since Scott didn't want to say it, Wu Zimo didn't pursue it. However, after seeing Scott's actions, Wu Zimo thought about it and still asked.
"Scott, Caesar is here too?"
"yes."
Scott nodded, and only then did Caesar walk to Wu Zimo with an elegant step, rub his neck against him, and roar gently at Wu Zimo regardless of whether the other party heard it or not.
Wu Zimo seemed to follow Scott's gaze, as if he had really seen Caesar, and bowed his head to greet Caesar, who was growling at his feet.
"Hello Caesar."
It was a rare occasion that Caesar didn't pounce on him as he usually did when he saw him. Wu Zimo felt a lot more relaxed and his attitude naturally became better.
It's just that Wu Zimo was so kind to Caesar, which made Ares in his spiritual world unhappy.
Children's temper goes away quickly, but it also comes back quickly. Look, the owner actually smiled at the big black panther that would eat it, and what was revealed on the cute egg was (￣へ￣)
Then, after thinking about how powerful he is now and no longer afraid of the big black panther, his angry expression turned into (≧▽≦)
Fortunately, Wu Zimo did not notice the changes in Ares in the spiritual world, otherwise he would think that his cute kid had a mental breakdown.
