007
In the morning, Xu Qiao caught up on two hours of sleep. She felt refreshed when she woke up. She changed clothes and went to the living room, where Lu Yang was preparing lunch.
"You should rest. We agreed that I would cook on the weekend."
Lu Yang said vigilantly through the transparent kitchen sliding door, worried that Xu Qiao would rush in and grab the spatula from him.
Xu Qiao regards Lu Yang as a younger brother, but the 1.8-meter-tall brother can definitely share the housework, so she is happy to enjoy the three ready-made meals.
She leaned on the sofa and turned on her tablet to watch TV.
More than a hundred years ago, mankind entered a new era in an extremely tragic way. At the beginning of the establishment of the four major bases, the survivors were busy all day long building new bases and earning enough points to survive, and did not care about entertainment at all. Until the construction of the bases was completed, the survivors once again lived a relatively stable life, film and television , music, art and other industries have re-entered the public eye.
Different from the old era, the movies and TV dramas of the new era all feature people with superpowers as the protagonists. There are inspirational dramas about the struggles of people with superpowers who were born in ordinary families, and there are romantic idol dramas in which ordinary heroines who are kind, beautiful and strong encounter powerful people with superpowers. There are dramas showing the exquisite life of high-level superpowers, and of course there are also military dramas or dramas about heroes versus alien beasts that are widely supported by the government.
Xu Qiao has very mixed tastes. As long as the film is good, she will watch any drama. When there is a shortage of dramas, she will even watch the alien beast drama.
Recently, a new theme has emerged, human/animal love.
Lu Yang reopened the sliding door and saw Xu Qiao staring at the tablet with bright black eyes and a sweet smile.
Lu Yang came over with the dishes and glanced at the screen.
The huge tiger is sitting and squatting on the ground, and the beautiful and heroic heroine stands in front of it, holding the tiger's head in both hands, forehead to forehead.
The setting sun shone in the distance, enveloping one tiger and one person in a soft golden halo.
Lu Yang: "How can such a misleading drama pass the review? If we really encountered such a strange beast outside the base, the heroine would have been chewed to the bone."
Xu Qiao: "Who dares to fight the strange beast?" People with super powers won’t take it lightly and dare not go there just because of a TV show. What’s wrong with watching it for fun?”
“Besides, this tiger is the only good one in this show, and the other alien beasts and insects are all very realistic. It's also marked on the front that minors are not allowed to watch."
After Xu Qiao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Lu Yang's identity as a middle school student and immediately closed the tablet.
Lu Yang: "..."
Two generous dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, were quickly placed on the dining table.
Xu Qiao talked about meeting a schoolmate by chance.
Lu Yang: "You haven't found a teammate yet? Meng Li is so strong, why don't you ask her?"
Xu Qiao: "She is very cold and always keeps to herself. When we graduated and practiced, four of the five team members They all exchanged contact information, but she didn’t add them.”
She saw with her own eyes that two team members went to Meng Li to ask for their contact information, and also heard Meng Li’s indifferent and distant rejection, so she and the other team member had a very sensible disagreement. Come closer.
Lu Yang: "You can be alone in school. Will she still go out to do missions alone after graduation?"
The simplest mercenary team is a combination of two combatants and a healer. Unless you really want to find a mercenary for various special reasons. Not to teammates.
Xu Qiao: "I helped her because of my friendship with an alumnus. It had nothing to do with treatment. She didn't want to tell me about this alumnus who had only worked with me once, and I didn't want to rashly propose to team up with her and make Shi En The pictures are the same."
Lu Yang: "Then you should hurry up and find a reliable team. The more part-time mercenaries you sign up for basic tasks, the more part-time mercenaries you will sign up for. Be careful not to get into the aircraft. "
Basic tasks come every six months, so be brave early. Just do it, and the more timid you are, the more likely you are to procrastinate until the deadline.
Lu Yang thought, this is it. After the high school entrance examination is over and he awakens his spiritual body, as long as he is like his father, he can accompany Xu Qiao on all future tasks.
Xu Qiao is more concerned about finding a team than Lu Yang, and chooses After an afternoon, Xu Qiao went out early on Sunday morning carrying a small satchel.
Lu Yang wanted to accompany her because he was afraid that she would be wronged in the mixed mercenary association. He is tall, and others can't tell whether he has awakened his spiritual body, so he can bluff people.
Xu Qiao: "If I even need someone to accompany me when I go to the mercenary association, which team would dare to recruit a therapist like me?"
Mercenaries will work hard to protect the therapists in the same team. The premise is that the therapists are independent enough and not courageous. As small as a mouse, he has to rely on his teammates for everything.
Lu Yang was speechless.
Xu Qiao closed the door from the outside and when he walked out of the unit, he unexpectedly found that his new neighbor had placed a wicker chair inside the fence gate of Lu's courtyard. The morning light was bright and warm. He leaned comfortably in the wicker chair and looked at his back. It was unclear whether he was enjoying the sunshine with his eyes closed or admiring the vigorous vitality in the small courtyard.
Xu Qiao subconsciously stepped lightly.
When she was about to walk away quietly so as not to disturb her new neighbor's enjoyment, Qin Chi's head, which was leaning on the back of a wide chair, suddenly turned this way. When he saw Xu Qiao, he changed from a reclining posture to a natural and casual sitting posture, smiling. He said hello: "Good morning, Miss Xu. Are you going out so early?"
Xu Qiao was used to his polite attitude and said with a smile: "Yes, I have to go to the Mercenary Association. Go early to save the subway." It’s too crowded.”
The headquarters of the Mercenary Association is located in the central district, with four divisions in the southeast, northwest, and east of the Second Ring Road to serve professional or part-time mercenaries in each district.
Mercenaries can receive tasks through tablets. They usually go to the association to submit tasks, redeem points, purchase weapons, and register or change team members.
The hall on the first floor of the association is spacious and bright, and there are security personnel to maintain order, so mercenaries also like to go to the association hall to recruit new members, and even conduct offline transactions in the hall.
Qin Chi moved here on Friday. In the past two days, in addition to dealing with the two small landlords, he also came into contact with other neighbors in the five buildings when walking, shopping for groceries, or entering and exiting the building.
Qin Chi dresses politely and speaks politely. Ordinary office workers don't have much time to socialize with him. However, some retired grandfathers and grandmothers like to talk to Qin Chi. Among them, there are "enthusiastic people" who take the initiative to tell him about the Lu family. , the situation of the Xu family, including the Xu family’s Lotus Spiritual Body and C-level therapist profession that have been passed down for four generations.
Qin Chi was not very interested in these short-lived parents, but he was very patient and listened to the old neighbors with a smile every time.
In Qin Chi, the neighbor and landlord who lives across the door deserves more attention than the neighbors on other floors, so he paid more attention: "Miss Xu went to the association for?"
Some people said the same question in an aggressive manner. , some people ask more casually for social reasons.
What Xu Qiao felt from Qin Chi was just the right amount of concern. He was neither trying to pry into her private affairs, nor was he just trying to find something to say.
Across the waist-high fence, Xu Qiao said helplessly: "I'm going to try my luck and see if I can join a reliable mercenary team."
This was in line with Qin Chi's guess.
His eyes moved from the fair cheek of the small landlady to another small courtyard behind her.
Qin Chi is very satisfied with his current living environment. At least during the two or three years he is recuperating, he hopes to maintain this comfortable status quo.
According to the Base Law, residents’ property can only be inherited by immediate relatives within three generations and cannot be transferred to other relatives and friends.
If Xu Qiao dies during the mission, 101 next door will become the public property of the base and will be officially sold to a new purchaser. By then, will the new neighbors make the yard so comfortable?
Qin Chi: "Speaking of which, I just moved here from another base. I haven't completed the mission for the past six months and I don't have any teammates. If Miss Xu doesn't mind, can you take me with you?"
Xu Qiao was surprised: "You, you It should be a high-level psychic, right? I am only a C-level healer, and the teams I can join are also C-level..."
Qin Chi smiled and said, "I am honored to have caused such a misunderstanding to Miss Xu. I forgot to introduce you. He is a C-level wind and space power user, good at melee combat, long-range attack, and control." Xu
Qiao said happily, "That's great. With you here, I can join a better team."
People with superpowers are popular. Like Qin Chi, it is more than enough to apply for a B-level mercenary team. If he is lucky, the A-level team with lower strength will also be willing to accept him.
Qin Chi: "Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes."
Xu Qiao nodded, watched him put the wicker chair into the space, opened the fence door and went in.
Three minutes later, Qin Chi appeared in front of the unit again, wearing a black jacket, black combat pants, and a pair of black leather combat boots.
The first time Xu Qiao saw his new neighbor, he thought he had a cold appearance, but his gentle smile and polite conversation quickly broke this impression. At this time, Qin Chi, dressed in black, finally made Xu Qiao remember that brief first time. impression.
Facing her surprised look, Qin Chi raised the corners of his lips and softened his brows again: "I don't really like this style of dressing, but I'm going to apply for the mercenary team. Wearing trousers and a shirt may bring unnecessary scrutiny and trouble. "
Xu Qiao: "...Indeed, you are more like a scholar." And the heir to a wealthy family.
Qin Chi: "Drive?"
Xu Qiao: "Okay, I'll take advantage of you."
Walking to the street, Qin Chi put out his low-key luxury car, bent down slightly, and helped Xu Qiao open the passenger door. .
"Thank you." Xu Qiao sat in awkwardly.
There was a faint fragrance in the car. Before Qin Chi came up, Xu Qiao quickly scanned the space in the front seat and found a small box of car incense packaged in light gold.
Xu Qiao lowered his eyes and cursed. He was only C-level and dared to decorate and travel in a high-profile manner. Aren't his new neighbors afraid of being targeted by someone with malicious intentions?
But this person definitely doesn’t look like the silly, sweet, rich second generation in the TV series. Maybe he has a trump card to protect himself?
As Qin Chi got into the driver's seat, Xu Qiao stopped thinking.
Qin Chi came to the Southeast Base for the first time and was not familiar with any place. He set up the navigation before setting off.
In order to ease the landlord's embarrassment, Qin Chi turned on the car music, asked Xu Qiao's preferences, and chose to play it randomly.
But just listening to the song was awkward. Xu Qiao tried to provoke the topic: "Has Mr. Qin started working at the Second Military Academy?"
Qin Chi: "It officially starts tomorrow. Which military academy did you study at?"
Xu Qiao: "The Third Military Academy."
Qin Chi: "Then you are very good. I heard that the Third Military Academy is very difficult to get into. Only the top C-level students can enter."
Xu Qiao: "You can go to the second military school to teach, you are very good. Ah."
Qin Chi said with a smile: "To be honest, I have a personal relationship with the principal of the second school, so..."
Xu Qiao: "..."
The principals of the nine military academies are all S-class strong men, so she knows that the new neighbor is absolutely Not an ordinary person!
Guessing what she was thinking, Qin Chi added: "We are not particularly close personal friends. Even if you can help me join the job, it will be a favor. I still have to arrange the rest by myself."
Xu Qiao: "Well, I heard that several principals have Very busy, just like Principal Dong from our three schools. I have met him twice during the opening ceremony and graduation ceremony."
Qin Chi was about to answer the call when a voice message suddenly popped up on the communication bracelet on his left hand. The sender was: Dong Mingliang.
Qin Chi converts speech into text.
Dong Mingliang: [Are you really coming to our southeast base? I can’t believe what Wei just told me! ]
Qin Chi had no time to reply.
Dong Mingliang: [I just returned to school. Let’s have lunch together? ]
Qin Chi raised his left wrist and replied: "I have something to do in the morning. If it can be solved smoothly at eleven o'clock, that's fine."
Dong Mingliang: [What's the matter? See if I can help. ]
Qin Chi: "It's a small matter, don't bother me."
Dong Mingliang: [Okay, okay, tell me, don't forget it! 】
