Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Zhan Chen's original appearance is actually slightly different from that of a senior majoring in logistics.

In other words, it was not until Zhan Chen's own data was integrated that Frankenstein, who was described as "gloomy and withdrawn" in the original work, finally gained real and tangible warmth.

The real Zhan Chen, at first glance, appears much calmer and gentler.

But that's just a look.

Different from the black-based standard military uniforms of the special forces, his military uniform is generally pure white, and the style buttons are also silver-gray of the same color. The cuffs and lining are restrained navy blue with thin gold lines.

Zhan Chen's figure was solid. He stretched out his hand and took the mecha into his arms.

The military uniform is tall and straight, covering up the smooth and strong muscles. Under the gentle and gentle appearance, there are still layers of unstoppable heroic spirit coming out.

Seeing his military uniform clearly, Shi Ji suddenly said "Hey" softly.

Yu Tang was still not used to the mecha's body, so after groping for a long time, he completely inserted himself into the mecha's limbs, and propped himself up between Zhan Chen's arms.

For some reason, the world turned upside down before his eyes.

Knowing that Shi Ji was driving his wingman around the windmill, Yu Tang didn't care about this topsy-turvy world. He tried to take two steps and opened the communication: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Shi Ji said, "Mr. Yu... wore it backwards."

Yu Tang: "?"

Zhan Chen coughed lightly and turned the mecha that was walking upside down on his arm around.

Yu Tang: "..."

The original host, whose identity had just been exchanged, became angry and took control, temporarily blocking direct observation of the sea of consciousness from the outside world.

…

Under Zhan Chen's patient guidance, it took Yu Tang twice as long to finally turn around from the iron knots on his arms and legs and move them back to the correct direction.

The upside-down world finally returned to normal.

"It's not your problem."

Zhan Chen explained patiently: "For data, as long as it is directly connected to the control center of the mecha, there is no need to consider whether the head is up or down like humans."

Yu Tang was very grateful for his comfort, jumped up unsteadily, and knocked Senior Zhan's chin firmly with his head.

Zhan Chen coughed lightly, suppressed his smile, and drew a floating ball of light.

In the violently fluctuating sea of consciousness, he seemed not to be affected at all. He placed the mecha model firmly on it and sat in front of the workbench.

Just like Yu Tang making skill cards, there are no restrictions in the real world in the sea of consciousness. Making physical items is almost like some kind of wonderful magic.

Where Zhan Chen touched, points, lines, and three-dimensional lines rapidly extended, converging and forming in the three-dimensional space.

Yu Tang sat on the ball of light, concentrating on practicing how to control the mecha.

Zhan Chen said warmly: "Don't worry, Shi Ji is in good condition."

He saw that the mecha was still trying to turn its head to look at the light screen, so he took the time to reach out and help turn the light ball at a slight angle.

Zhan Chen: "He just cooperated with the Dolphin and dismantled a dozen mechanical bugs...The AI intelligent control program you created is actually far more powerful than we thought."

Yu Tang remained unmoved and stretched out his arms calmly.

"According to the current battle situation, we will survive the first insect wave crisis safely after dawn."

Zhan Chen said, "Wait a moment and I'll make breakfast for you two."

Yu Tang shook his leg coldly.

Zhan Chen modeled the rough shape of the swing: "What color do you want?"

Yu Tang: "..."

Yu Tang couldn't resist the question: "Silver."

Zhan Chen raised his gaze, with a quiet and gentle smile in his eyes, and touched the little mecha's head.

He looked at the little mecha working hard and said softly: "Do you still remember——"

Yu Tang asked: "What?"

Zhan Chen paused for a moment and changed his words temporarily: "Shi Ji just said that the Sheng family's house belongs to Sheng Tiancheng."

"Remember." Yu Tang was also thinking about this matter, "I also asked Captain Zhuang before if they could confirm Sheng Tiancheng's life or death."

There is a logical knot here.

If Sheng Tiancheng really died in the insect wave, according to the requirements of the anti-OOC system, Shi Ji, as an observer, would definitely die before the main armor was destroyed.

Shi Ji was able to come back alive, which showed that based on the observation hand's judgment, Sheng Tiancheng would not die in that insect wave.

Although what Shi Ji wanted to say just now was interrupted by the sudden wave of mecha bugs, it undoubtedly proved this point.

"Regardless of why Sheng Tiancheng disappeared, he deliberately set off this smoke bomb, what is his real purpose."

"From what we know so far, we can be sure of at least one thing," Yu Tang said.

Zhan Chen put down the screwdriver in his hand: "There are still people from this faction in the military department."

Yu Tang nodded.

Regardless of whether Sheng Tiancheng died or not, according to the military's external statement, Sheng Yi's father had been judged to have been sacrificed.

Precisely because he was the orphan of a fallen soldier, Sheng Yi was given the green light to go all the way, and even though he got into so many troubles, he could still bring his mecha to participate in this exercise.

But at the same time, all the property left by Sheng's father, even if it is not transferred to the name of Shi Ji as the guardian, should at least be temporarily sealed and handed over to him until Sheng Yi reaches adulthood.

No matter which one, the current situation should not occur.

"Unless there are people in the military covering up for Sheng Tiancheng."

Yu Tang had gradually mastered the trick, held up the ball of light, and sat up cross-legged: "I have been wondering what plot this book has hidden from me."

Zhan Chen watched his movements, his eyes warmed up, and he reached out to take the mecha.

Yu Tang also wanted to prove his athletic ability. He waved his hand, stood up unsteadily from the light ball, held his breath and prepared to jump on the swing himself.

The wingman was swayed by the changes in the air flow caused by the insect tide.

Yu Tang's momentum was suddenly interrupted. His feet slipped and he fell down: "..."

Zhan Chen's voice sounded gently: "Concentrate."

Yu Tang was slightly startled.

Zhan Chen helped the mecha, measured the distance between the two sides, stretched out his hand, and made a springboard for him.

…

A brief scene suddenly flashed through Yu Tang's mind.

He was hiding in some corner, refusing to shine or come out again.

Zhan Chen stretched out his hand towards him.

There was a hint of anxiety in those moist, dark eyes, but they were still as focused and serious as usual.

He seemed to never be able to refuse those eyes - Zhan Chen never stared at him with greed or fear like other humans, treating him as wealth that he wanted to take for himself, or avoiding him.of disaster.

He jumped out, landed on Zhan Chen's palm, and then plunged into Zhan Chen's arms.

He wanted to take Zhan Chen home, but knew he couldn't do it.

All the treasures he liked and brought back were gradually swallowed up and decomposed by the electronic storm, becoming part of the electronic storm and dissipated in it forever.

…

Zhan Chen's voice brought him back from his memories.

Yu Tang sat firmly on the swing and raised his head.

The swaying of the sea of consciousness was buffered by the two cycloid lines of the swing, and the rest was minimal, finally allowing him to briefly escape from the spinning state.

"What do you want to ask?" Zhan Chen asked.

Yu Tang stopped exploring his memories for the time being, and took back his mind and thought about it.

He had questions about whether the plot could be solved.

After Shi Ji was sacrificed, Ye Hanfeng was the most talented observer. He came from a military family and had the standard arrogance of a military child. He would only be convinced by the truly strong.

According to the plot, Sheng Yi certainly has the opportunity to be completely destroyed and grow again in the attack.

But with Ye Hanfeng's arrogance, he would not be willing to stop for such a person.

"With Ye Hanfeng's personality, why has he never given up on Sheng Yi? Is it just because the protagonists must be together?"

Yu Tang remembered Zhan Chen's identity, and without waiting for his answer, he added in time: "It doesn't matter if you can't say it."

Zhan Chen was about to speak when he heard the words and paused for a moment, a little apologetically: "In principle, we really can't say it."

Yu Tang was prepared and nodded.

He has discovered the rules and logic of passing through the bookstore.

The system has no conditions for accessing it, nor can it actively provide hidden information to the host. Even the entire abridged version of the plot requires the host to actively exchange experience points to obtain it.

When it comes to completing tasks, the real punishments imposed on employees are minimal. They only include deducting experience points and banning packages for minor troubles. The most serious ones are nothing more than losing their wages for a quarter.

Compared with being a "host" of human beings, Chuan Shuju's real limitations are data and systems.

...In other words, Chuan Shuju can only limit data and systems.

Yu Tang was not in a hurry to continue exploring this issue. He planned to change the topic and chat with Zhan Chen about breakfast in the future: "I want to eat chocolate..."

"In principle," Zhan Chen said, "we cannot tell the host any hidden information."

Zhan Chen: "For example, as long as the host does not consult, we cannot proactively tell you where to find the best discount coupons, which products have fluctuated and increased in price, and which randomly listed products can be snapped up with one experience point. Some are quick and some are slow."

"..." Yu Tang had always bought directly at the original price, and suddenly suffered a critical blow: "Are there any coupons?"

Zhan Chen: "If there is a three-fold discount, the top will not be capped."

Yu Tang: "..."

Zhan Chen: “You can also buy in a group, get a 10% discount, and get 10 experience points back if you spend 100 experience points.”

Yu Tang: "..."

Zhan Chen looked at him, with a thin smile in his eyes, and continued: "There are still some questions that we cannot answer even if the host consults us."

But as we all know, Chuan Bookstore’s criteria have always been very old and rigid.

The system is simply not allowed to give an answer.

"For example, if you want to ask me, in the original work, did the strength of the military's conservative faction completely overwhelm the revolutionary faction, and did it indirectly lead to the Ye family's loss of power?"

"Did they support Sheng Yi as their new puppet? Did Ye Hanfeng choose to be an observer for Sheng Yi in order to preserve the few remaining reformists?"

"When the sharp knife team was killed in the electronic storm, and the decadence of Zhuangyu for so many years, was it possible that not only those ambitious mad scientists were causing trouble, but also the conservatives colluded with them for their own selfish interests?"

Zhan Chen met Yu Tang's gaze and blinked: "...I can't answer these questions."

Yu Tang cleared his throat and laughed uncontrollably without holding it back.

He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and his smile seemed to come from the deepest part of the aurora. Something that had been restraining him was cleanly and completely cut off in the warm and pure voice.

The mecha couldn't make too many movements, so Yu Tang rubbed his eyes with his stiff mechanical arm and swayed on the swing.

"Senior Zhan." Yu Tang said, "I still have a question."

Zhan Chen had given him the answer to this question.

When he refused to shine anymore and hid himself in the corner under the sofa, even cookies and hot milk could no longer be coaxed out.

Zhan Chen put the small white porcelain bowl aside and gave him the clearest answer in a serious and unquestionable manner.

He has been insisting on doing what Zhan Chen said.

Patrol the electronic storm once a year and throw out everything you can see.

Try to stay away from the crowd, collect the particles scattered in the electronic storm, and keep them until they are returned to their owners.

Not attracted by the familiar frequency of electronic pulses, that is not a companion, but a generator that induces his appearance.

…

He remembered Zhan Chen's words very firmly, and he believed that Zhan Chen would not lie. No matter what those people in white coats and military uniforms described the electronic storm, he no longer cared.

He just couldn't help it and wanted to hear it again.

He wanted to hear Zhan Chen coax him again.

Yu Tang closed his eyes. He was hiding in the quiet space circled by Zhan Chen. His voice was a little hoarse: "It's the people who are bad. Electronic Storm didn't make any mistakes...right?"
