Chapter 42
"Brother Xie, why did you bring so many things?" Tang Bai was stunned. He actually wanted to ask why Xie Ruheng was dressed so formally. Although he was handsome, it was too grand!
Snowball squatted at Tang Bai's feet and looked at the new guest curiously.
Tang Bai reached out to take the bag to help Xie Ruheng share the weight, but Xie Ruheng firmly refused.
When you arrive at your partner's home, you must be diligent, considerate, down-to-earth and hardworking. The weight on your hand represents the responsibility of an alpha!
Xie Ruheng walked into the spacious living room with a solemn expression and looked around with the serious attitude of observing the enemy.
The Tang family's living room is very large, with an extremely wide view at a glance, but it does not make people feel empty and deserted. There are soft pillows and cute dolls on the fabric sofa, which makes people want to lie down comfortably.
The wooden tea table is placed with a large bottle of baby's breath, a fruit plate and many snacks. The colorful carpet and small green potted plants everywhere make the living room look very warm.
Tang Bai's graffiti can be seen everywhere on the wall, which is so beautiful that it looks like the works of a master. There is a rattan chair next to the balcony. When the fairy-like white gauze curtain is blown by the wind, the carefully tended flowers and plants on the balcony are vaguely revealed.
At just one glance, Xie Ruheng was mesmerized by the warm atmosphere of this home.
He could imagine Tang Bai lying barefoot on the sofa, taking a nap with a doll in her arms. Her beautiful sleeping face looked like an angel, and the blooming baby's breath even softened its noisy voice.
After waking up, Tang Bai might kneel on the reddish-brown carpet, pick up a paintbrush and paint on the wall. His clothes and face were inadvertently stained with paint, as if he was carrying a rainbow on his body.
Fengmu stared at all this in a daze.
"Is it Tangtang's friend who came?" Tang's mother, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, leaned her head out to take a look. When she saw the handsome alpha appearing in her living room, the smile on her face froze, and her hand trembled so much that she almost dropped the spatula.
Recognizing that this was Tang Bai's mother, Xie Ruheng took a deep breath and said to Tang's mother in a graceful manner, "Hello, auntie." His voice was loud and clear, his manners were dignified, and he also cleverly used the green tea smile that makes people feel good!
Tang's mother: "!!!"
Tang's mother tried to nod calmly, then turned around quickly. Her face, which was pretending to be calm, almost looked like she was about to cry. She held a spatula in one hand and grabbed Tang's father, who was wearing shorts, with the other hand, and hurried to the bedroom.
Tang's father was dragged into the bedroom with a confused look on his face. The door closed with a click, leaving Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Aunt, what is this?" Xie Ruheng was a little nervous.
Tang Bai was also confused. He heard Xie Ruheng ask, "Does she dislike me?"
Don't like Xie Ge?
No way.
"My mom praised you for being so handsome the last time she saw you on a live broadcast." Tang Bai touched his head and said, "Maybe she has something to tell my dad."
Xie Ruheng, whose looks were recognized by his mother-in-law, said: "!" He suddenly felt more confident!
"My family is very friendly. Don't be nervous, brother Xie. My mom cooks delicious food and is easy to please. She will be happy if you praise her cooking skills later."
"My dad looks serious, but he's actually quite talkative. He likes to communicate with young people, especially those who have their own ideas."
"My grandpa is a very kind old man, but his mecha manufacturing technology is amazing. If you need to improve mechas in the future, you can ask my grandpa for help~"
"Eh? How do you get along well with my grandpa? Brother Xie, you don't have to worry. My grandpa is very nice to my friends. He has given limited edition jewelry made of rare metals to several of my sisters~"
Tang Bai was whispering to Xie Ruheng when he suddenly saw his mother, who was wearing a cheongsam, light makeup, with her hair tied up and covered in fine jewelry, walking out of the bedroom with his father, who was also dressed neatly.
Tang Bai: “......?”
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Xie Ruheng immediately stepped forward to distribute gifts, "I heard that uncle and aunt like to make tea. This is a star sand pot and golden buds."
The star sand teapot is the most precious kind of tea set. The raw material, star sand, is a companion mineral of energy crystals and is rare. Star sand can only be found in the best energy mines.
I heard that using this precious star sand pot to brew tea really makes it taste better.
Golden Bud is called the "Giant Panda of Tea" because it is difficult to grow, tastes delicious and is scarce, so good Golden Bud is hard to come by.
These two items were Mr. Ling's treasured possessions. Although Xie Ruheng didn't know the value of these things Mr. Ling gave him, when he saw the satisfied look in Tang's mother's eyes, he knew that this gift was the right one.
"Xiao Xie is so thoughtful." After seeing that most of the gifts were given to Tang Bai, Tang's mother's eyes softened a little, "You haven't had dinner yet?"
Xie Ruheng walked behind Tang's father and mother in a dignified manner. After the elders took their seats, he chose a more secluded seat and sat down.
"Why did you give me such an expensive gift?" Tang Bai asked Xie Ruheng in a low voice with his eyes wide open.
Xie Ruheng came to his house to help him, not to ask for help. This is too expensive! Tang Bai felt very sorry for Xie Ruheng's wallet!
"Tangtang, go and call grandpa for dinner."
Tang Bai said "oh" and had to go call his grandfather first. However, after Tang Bai called his grandfather out from the weapons research laboratory, he saw a dreamy scene on the dining table that looked like a business negotiation.
Tang's father: "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Xie Ruheng sat upright and explained his academic plans, future career plans, and even family plans as if he were in an interview, down to the details of whether he would accept his children taking his spouse's surname.
Tang Bai: “???”
Tang Bai interrupted his father's assessment: "Dad, you keep asking Brother Xie questions. Mom's cooking is so delicious, but you guys are just talking. The food is getting cold."
Tang's father looked helplessly at Tang Bai, who was still unmarried and had already turned her elbows outward, and said, "You kid..."
"My uncle is very knowledgeable and I have benefited a lot from his advice. I have been asking him for guidance all the time," Xie Ruheng said sincerely.
It's all my fault for the Green Tea Skill. Please don't quarrel over me.
Tang's father: This kid is barely virtuous.
Tang Bai: My brother Xie is so considerate
Xie Ruheng did not start eating right away after he finished his compliments, because he remembered that one of the dining etiquettes Tang Bai taught him was to wait for the elders before eating.
Seeing that Grandpa Tang and his father had not yet started eating, Xie Ruheng spread out his napkin and placed it on his lap.
At this moment he was extremely grateful for Tang Bai's etiquette teaching. Any knowledge would be useful sometimes, and learning was sometimes not just for school exams, but for more important assessments in life.
"How many children are there in Xiao Xie's family? What do your parents do?" Tang's mother asked with a smile.
Tang Bai: “!!!”
Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng nervously, and seeing that Xie Ruheng's expression remained unchanged, he said calmly: "I'm the only one at home now."
Tang's mother was stunned for a moment, then she felt extremely guilty after she realized what was happening. "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It doesn't matter. I also want to thank you, aunt. The soup you stewed reminded me of my mother." Xie Ruheng said softly.
Green tea girl's unique skill is pretending to be strong, please have mercy on me.
Tang's mother: What a strong and kind child
Tang Bai: Wuwuwu, my brother Xie is really beautiful and strong.
Grandpa Tang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Xiao Xie, Professor Fu Yun is in your department, right?"
"Yes." Xie Ruheng was extremely nervous when he met Mr. Tang's seemingly kind eyes.
"You can't think about falling in love every day in the military academy. The most important thing is to study hard and serve the country." The implication is that someone is watching you, so don't touch my Tangtang.
Xie Ruheng said seriously: "Grandpa is right. We are still young. I will not waste my youth before I have made a career."
Tang Bai nodded vigorously at the side, yes, yes, Brother Xie promised me that he would not have a romantic relationship and would focus on his career!
When Grandpa Tang saw that the two children had already made an appointment, he felt a little uncomfortable, "Let's eat."
With Master Tang's calm, the assessment of Xie Ruheng came to an end for the time being. Although the two male owners were not at ease with Xie Ruheng, the two omegas in the family kept expressing their concern for Xie Ruheng at the dinner table.
"Xiao Xie, eat more of these shrimps." "This soup is delicious, would you like me to give you a bowl of soup?" "Brother Xie, would you like to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? I love it so much." "Xiao Xie, you and Tangtang both like sweet food..."
After the meal, Tang Bai took advantage of no one's attention to quietly apologize to Xie Ruheng.
By the end of the meal, Tang Bai finally realized that his family members considered Xie Ruheng as his dating partner...that's why they were so serious, making Xie Ruheng very nervous while eating the meal.
"Don't take my parents and grandfather's attitude to heart—" Before Tang Bai could finish his words, his head was gently touched by Xie Ruheng.
"It's OK."
The phoenix eyes looked at him gently, "I'm happy." I'm happy that you can introduce me to your family.
When their eyes met, Tang Bai inexplicably didn't dare to look them in the eye, "Let's... let's go see the mecha."
"good."
Soon they arrived at the weapons laboratory.
Even though he was mentally prepared, when Xie Ruheng saw the deathly Barbie pink bunny mecha, he still felt a great shock in his heart.
The giant pink rabbit with a mechanical aura goes beyond the normal perception of rabbits. Not only does it not have a fluffy appearance and a petite body, but its surface also gleams with a metallic luster. Its two cute front teeth, after becoming huge, leave no doubt that it will bite off the enemy's head in one bite.
This sense of oppression cannot be seen in the reduced-scale picture, but when the mecha becomes a real thing, this rabbit mecha looks particularly ferocious!
In particular, Tang Bai also introduced the rabbit mecha's killing moves: "I set three attack killing moves in the mecha auxiliary mode. One is the rabbit iron fist. When attacking, the agility and strength can reach 10. You only need to press the attack button to smash the enemy. The cooldown time is fifteen minutes."
"Another one is Bunny Gaze, which will emit Dead Sea laser light waves from its 'eyes', and the cooldown time is ten minutes. The last one is Bunny Rampage, which will stimulate an electromagnetic network on the surface of the mecha, and the cooldown time is also ten minutes."
Xie Ruheng nodded, "Should I review these?"
Tang Bai shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "These are very simple, there is no need to trouble you, Brother Xie, to evaluate them. Brother Xie, what you need to evaluate is the free combat mode!"
"This mecha can be driven by ordinary people who don't have mecha talent, but it can only unleash its full power in the hands of a mecha genius."
Tang Bai proudly introduced the free combat mode: "The free combat mode I designed uses the most difficult neural link technology! Only the most outstanding mecha masters can perfectly control the free combat mode!"
When neural links are applied to the mecha free combat mode, it not only tests the mecha pilot's thinking speed and body speed, but also his instinctive combat reaction.
It takes time for the brain nerves to transmit instructions to the muscles. Although this time is very small, with the help of nerve connections, this tiny effect can disappear.
The neural link can perfectly capture the commands issued by the brain and directly transmit the brain's commands to the mecha, without having to wait for the brain to command the body and then let the body control the mecha.
The advantage of this is that the mecha master can maximize the most instinctive fighting techniques of humans on the mecha, because when an ordinary person operates a mecha, he must first think about how to swing the lightsaber and how to block the shield. He is using the logic of mecha operation to operate the mecha.
Mechas that use neural link technology do not need to perform thought conversion, and mecha pilots can counter opponents twice as fast as their opponents.
However, most people think that the free mode under the Neural Link requires too much from the mecha pilot, and ordinary people cannot bring out the greatest advantage of this mecha because their combat awareness is not that high.
Three of the six professional judges gave Tang Bai nine points because of his neural link technology. This technology is very difficult and requires very high standards from mecha manufacturers.
The combination of neural links and mechas requires that the mechas be able to reproduce the operator's movements to the greatest extent possible, but machines are different from the human body. If a person makes a punch or knee lift, and the mecha cannot reproduce these movements well, then the implantation of the neural link will have the opposite effect.
Mecha manufacturers must ensure that every detail in the mecha design matches human movements in order to maximize the mecha's advantages and defeat the opponent.
After listening to Tang Bai's introduction, Xie Ruheng was eager to give it a try. He had longed for neural connection but had never had the chance to try it.
Tang Bai saw Xie Ruheng's excitement, and he happily hugged the rabbit helmet, "Dangdangdang~ Just put it on! Brother Xie, you can activate the neural link and be even more powerful in the competition!"
Xie Ruheng: “…”
This is the mecha that a fierce A should have!
