Chapter 232: Want a shot?
"Poor?"
Jasmine was a little confused.
Then, she said doubtfully: "I know you are poor, but that's not what you're asking about." This
is heartbreaking, old man.
Just as Link was about to take a sip of green tea, the hand that raised the glass suddenly froze in mid-air, and he could not recover for a long time.
What words hurt the most?
The truth hurts the most because there is no way to refute it.
Puff.
Jasmine laughed.
She said that on purpose just to vent her anger.
I left for several days without even a message.
It's okay to report that you're safe at least.
Even if the cost of cross-border communication is high, you can't afford this magic stone.
Even if you are stingy and reluctant to spend money, I will pay for it!
Moreover, I didn’t tell him in advance when I came back. I didn’t know until Hamid, the butler, informed me.
This has happened several times, and it happens every time.
How infuriating!
Now let me have a taste of what it feels like to be angry. Is it comfortable?
I just want to make you angry, huh!
Jasmine raised her head, pointed at the back of Link's head, wrinkled her beautiful nose, and made a face.
"Don't make trouble."
Link said quietly, continued to lift the cup and took a sip of tea.
Hearing this, Jasmine calmed down, remembered the business, lightly slapped Link on the chest, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble! I was just talking to you about business, why did you interrupt me?" "What you just asked
is What? Thoughts on the mission?"
Link took another sip of tea and sighed: "My only thoughts are that it started seriously and ended inexplicably. Until now, I still have many doubts that I haven't figured out yet."
"What are the doubts?"
Jasmine asked curiously, "Why does it start so seriously and end so unexpectedly?"
Link said: "Recruit normally, gather normally, hold meetings normally, unify thoughts, clarify division of labor, set goals. Go to the destination, conduct reconnaissance, Start investigating, and then, a sudden change occurs."
"Mutation? What change?"
"A level 3 Zerg world, suddenly a level 5 mother nest pops up, and there are even mutations of higher-level Zerg!" "
Level 5 ? Then how did you escape safely?"
"I'm not sure about the specific process. I guess it was shaking people."
"Shaking people?"
"The precious great-granddaughter of two great sages goes out on an adventure. Will there be anyone to follow and protect her?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. I thought you were trying to sway people from the academy." "It's
not that you won't be able to sway people, but you won't have enough time, so you probably won't be able to catch up." "
Hmm. Go on, don't you mean you still have doubts? Don't you understand? What are the doubts?"
"First of all, Sandora Diomande, the person who recruited me, the great-granddaughter of two great sages, what exactly is the content of the mission briefing she received? ;
Why is the situation in the mission world so different from the mission details she sent me?
Secondly, why does she need a mother nest, a plan to strengthen the Zerg, and a method to enslave the Zerg;
and thirdly, what exactly happened to the Zerg in the mission world What happened;
where did the level 5 brood come from and what was its purpose; whether the ones
that issued the curse and the howling attack were the same Zerg;
whether the small spots as the medium of the curse were biochemical pheromones or a mystical connection; the
parasite barrier What is the principle of airborne parasitism;
how eggs are transmitted;
what are the results of parasite detection;
The last thing is, what is that behemoth hidden behind the level 5 nest?
How do we deal with it after we leave? "
Link briefly told Jasmine the doubts that he didn't understand and wanted to figure out very much.
Unfortunately, most of these doubts were destined to be impossible to figure out.
After a slight pause, Link shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's over, it's no use thinking about it.
"Then don't think about it. Just take a good rest. " "
Jasmine straightened up, pulled up a stool and sat down, then lowered the upper part of Link's chair. Her
white and tender hands were placed near the corners of Link's eyes, and she gently rubbed them to relieve his fatigue.
Then she gave the housekeeper Hamid winked and directed Hamid to build a transparent pergola.
In this way, the two of them could enjoy the sunshine without being uncomfortable by the wind.
He also lit a stick of Hemerocallis incense to let in the air. More refreshing and peaceful.
After going through a mission that was not very long but had many twists and turns, he always maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Even when he was resting in the rear camp, he was worried about encountering an accident at any time and was nervous.
Link was indeed a little nervous . Tired, a little longing for stability.
Listening to the thumping movement, feeling the slight ups and downs, under Jasmine's massage, Link gradually relaxed his heartstrings and fell into a deep sleep.
Link's slight snoring sounded in his ears, and he watched as he gradually relaxed With an open brow, Jasmine massaged Link for a while, and then stopped.
She gently raised the upper part of the chair a little, so that Link's upper body and head could be supported while still lying on his back. A comfortable position.
After kissing Link on the forehead, Jasmine stood up and walked around to the front,
then lay down on her side. She squeezed into a chair with Link, closed her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
After Link went out for a few days, Jasmine was worried and frightened for a few days, and there was no quality rest at all.
During this period, she was studying, presiding over the affairs of the Grande Pharmacy, and "free to do whatever she wanted" via remote control. She had to work hard and deal with it reluctantly.
Now that Link has returned safely, all worries and anxieties have dissipated. He feels relaxed and naturally falls asleep.
This sleep lasted from the morning until the sun set over the western mountains, and the sunset glow filled the sky.
The first to wake up was Link.
He opened his eyes and looked at Jasmine, who was coiled around him like an octopus, sleeping soundly. She didn't move in a hurry to avoid waking up the girl.
Looking at the girl lying on his chest, with only the tips of her ears exposed from her hair, she couldn't help but feel that she was extremely cute.
I really want to pinch it.
As he watched, Link was in a daze, lost in thought.
How did the relationship between the two develop to this extent?
Link asked himself this in his mind, and then began to recall every detail of his contact with Jasmine.
The first time we met was at Viscount Holiday's castle.
Jasmine demonstrated how to conduct a wizard qualification test in front of many little kids.
At that moment, Jasmine showed a calmness and generosity that was not consistent with her age.
It is completely different from the childish behavior of most of the twelve or thirteen-year-old "peers" in Holiday Viscounty.
What left a deep impression was that when I got off the boat, my attitude changed drastically before and after I made my choice.
From the normal mode of getting along with strangers, he suddenly became intimate, and his methods were very immature.
Then after entering school, he showed that he was motivated but still a little playful.
It wasn't until something unpleasant happened during the picnic on the lakeside lawn of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" that I put away my playful thoughts and concentrated on my studies.
That's when the transformation began.
Just like Jasmine originally just wanted to "be close to" Link and get some learning guidance and convenience;
Link originally just regarded Jasmine as a "canary" in a cage to spice up his boring daily life.
Who knew that girlish feelings are always poetry.
When Jasmine enters adolescence, whether she realizes it or not, she has her first love interest.
At that time, she always followed Link and stayed together all day long.
And Link is indeed better than other people of his age.
Naturally, Jasmine changed her attitude towards Link.
From "use" to "dependence", from pretending to be "sexy" to gradually becoming shy.
What was originally a fake and pretended admiration turned into a true and unconcealable love.
All the foot-twisting skills I had learned since childhood were forgotten.
As long as I'm with you, I'm very happy, and I don't have the time to talk about tea. This is why Jasmine always likes to sigh and break herself.
And what about Link?
When did Link change his mentality and stop pursuing the "Three Not Scumbags" strategy?
She probably went to the apprentice level to practice in a secret realm, and when she came back a month later, she found that in order not to fall behind too much, Jasmine took the risk and accepted Wizard Serin's immature "bone worm plan" to forcibly improve her wizard qualifications.
Just as he was thinking of this, Jasmine woke up with a cry, disrupting Link's thoughts.
Open your hands, stretch beautifully, twist and rub hard.
After her muscles and bones were relaxed, Jasmine started the next movement of getting up.
"Oops."
Holding Link's chest with both hands, Jasmine tried to use the strength to get up, but her hands went numb for a moment and she fell down again.
What a coincidence, just now in order to get up, I moved my body upwards.
Now it's good, when I pounce on Link, it's lip to lip.
mua kissed him.
"Disgusting! Hmph!"
After a moment, Jasmine once again held up Link's chest and stood up. With a squeak, she walked out of the transparent pergola with her head held high.
Not even a hint of shyness, just like a little fox stealing a chicken.
"Is this the legendary Tsundere?"
Link sighed with emotion, and got up and went back to the restaurant, ready to reward his stomach.
I've been out for several days and haven't had a good meal, but I feel so wronged.
The next day, early in the morning.
Link drove Jasmine back to the Advanced Academy in the "Phantom Coupe", then returned to the North District and drove to the wizard Seren's villa.
Now that I'm back, I have to report.
It was still early, and Wizard Serin hadn't gone out yet to work in the pharmacy.
"You're back now? How do you feel?"
Wizard Seren received Link in the living room and asked as the first thing he said after sitting down.
Link thought for a while and said seriously: "It's hard to describe
in words!
The biggest feeling is that there are huge differences between people.
What I cherish, in the eyes of some people, may be just a toy that can be discarded at will.
For me, it is an exploration and pioneering adventure with a narrow escape from death, but it is the experience of some people."
Hearing this, Wizard Serin smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this something you have known for a long time? Why do you suddenly have so many emotions in your heart?"
Lin Ke replied: "Maybe it's because I only knew about it before, but now I have experienced it myself."
"Haha..."
Wizard Serin laughed a few times, and then asked, "Then what are your plans in the future? Accept her invitation?"
Obviously, Wizard Serin has some understanding of how people with Shandora Diomande's status would use to recruit "subordinates".
Perhaps she has encountered a similar situation before?
Link solemnly said: "I took an opportunity to express my feelings, so she did not extend an invitation to me." "
Well..."
Wizard Serin pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's quite normal, this decision. She Whenever I think about it in the future, if there is any place that needs you, I can just call you again. As long as you have free time, can you still refuse to call? So, whether she sends an invitation or not, and whether you sign the agreement or not, the difference is not big. "
After a pause, Lao Siji started the car, and the wheel ran directly into Link's face: "In this case, you will have to be ticketed for nothing again and again. Not to mention you will not get any benefits, and even your body will be broken by the tickets. The gain is not worth the loss! It's better to just follow her from the beginning and at least get some bed space."
Link chose to ignore these words and pretended that he had never heard it.
Racing with Lao Si Ji?
You're crazy to do that.
Seeing Link acting like a serious person, Wizard Serin curled his lips, disdainful of the man who was duplicitous.
You’ve grown up playing, how can you still be serious?
Serious P!
After suppressing his complaints, Wizard Serin turned back to business and asked: "You must have something to do when you come to me. Tell me. Hurry up, I have to go to the pharmacy later."
Link then asked: "Someone reminded me , Be careful of Lucia. I want to ask if anything has happened during the past few days since I have been away."
"Be careful of Lucia?"
Wizard Serin frowned slightly, "Lukia has made peace with you since then. , he completely kept a low profile and did not make any special moves. If there is any change, there is only one change, and that is Sauron starting to enter the transformation period." "
Well..."
Link pondered deeply.
After a while, there was no progress, so I simply put it aside and ignored it for the time being.
After finishing the business, without wasting Wizard Seren's time, Link stood up and left.
After leaving Wizard Serin's villa, Link drove to Grande Pharmacy.
This has just opened and is not yet open for business.
I greeted the store clerks who came to work part-time or full-time through the "freedom to do anything" channel one by one, showing my presence as a store owner.
Link went straight to the underground laboratory.
For Sandora, the mission was completely over the moment she called her mother, Ms. Lysandra.
However, there is still some unfinished business for Link.
With the memories in the Hall of Thought and the materials, results and samples stored in the "small world", Link began to write a report.
There are three reports in total.
The first one is the ecological structure of the mission world, which is mainly based on micro-level data, such as the test results of soil, water, and humus, to make a model hypothesis.
Due to the lack of data support, especially macro-level data, the gold content of this report will not be too high.
But it barely corresponds to one of the three original goals of the mission: investigating ecological structure.
The second one is about the abnormal changes of the Zerg. It is mainly based on a series of observations, autopsies, in vivo studies, and the detection of dead insect eggs next to the culture tank. It gives the inference of external sources and the inference that the external source is "light radiation".
Due to the lack of comparative data on individual anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry after evolution, this report is more valuable than the first one, but it is not very good.
It can only barely correspond to the second and third of the three original goals of the mission: investigating abnormal changes and causes of mutations.
The third, which probably shouldn't be a report, explores the link between sonic attacks and parasites.
There is no data or direct evidence. The whole article is based on Link's assumptions, conjectures and analysis based on his own existing knowledge system.
After writing these three reports, I checked them carefully again.
Link sent the three reports to Lanie Taylor and asked Lanie to forward them to Sandora on her behalf.
This can be regarded as the official end of this mission for Link Grande.
After leaving the underground laboratory and arriving on the first floor, Link saw Wizard Cody walking in.
"Come here and go somewhere with me."
Wizard Cody waved to Link and said politely.
"Where are you going? What's wrong?"
Link asked in confusion.
"You'll know when you get there. I won't trick you anyway."
Wizard Cody has entered a period of transformation. He becomes emotional in everything he says and does, and he actually lets it slip.
Link had no choice but to walk out of the pharmacy and drive toward the West End, following Wizard Cody.
Two cars, one behind the other, drove into an airport terminal.
"This is for you, open it and take a look, do you like it?"
Wizard Cody got out of the car, looking very expectant, pointing at a container and said to Link.
"Okay."
Link also looked forward to it and opened the container door.
When I opened it, I was instantly pleasantly surprised.
What was installed in the container was actually a naval gun.
A starship's main gun capable of firing the Star Destroyer Cannon.
Wizard Cody actually gave a cannon as a gift.
He is indeed a real man who was once nicknamed "Human Slaughter".
Hardcore enough!
