Mech Fate of Rebirth

"Where are you touching!"

In the dark bathroom, the meat ball screamed and jumped in the water, and the immature child's voice instantly increased by N octaves.

With great difficulty, Chen Qiming pulled the noisy meat ball back into the bathtub, took off his soaked top, and said with a calm face, "Be quiet, I can't see now, if you keep making noise, I'll take your corn juice away." Hey cat!"

Suddenly, only the subtle sound of water was left in the pitch-black bathroom. Half of the meat ball floated on the water, and countless bubbles appeared in the water.

Chen Qiming wiped Routuan's body clean before putting on his clothes.

Routuan touched the bridge of his nose: "Why is there no electricity at home?"

"I forgot to fix it."

"Lie, you adults like to fool children."

Chen Qiming paused for arranging the child's clothes, and Chen Qiming raised his head. In the darkness, Routuan's big eyes stared at him motionlessly. Chen Qiming finally compromised.

"Well, I have no money to maintain the power system." Chen Qiming said in a deep voice, "It's useless to tell you."

Routuan snorted: "Who said it's useless?" He shook off Chen Qiming's hand and ran back to his room. Chen Qiming thought that Routuan was angry because he concealed the truth, but after a while, Routuan came back again , and there is still a wad of... cash?

"Take it and spend it first, and then return it to me when you have money." Routuan raised his head proudly.

"Where did you get the money?" Chen Qiming didn't care about paying it back at all. He squatted down, stared at the meatball, and asked again: "Where did you get the money?"

"I earned these by myself. My family has no money and you are busy with competitions. Isn't it only me who can make money?" Routuan climbed onto the sofa and said excitedly: "There are maintenance personnel everywhere on the Internet. , I didn’t expect that maintenance personnel are so popular now!”

"You became an inspector?" Chen Qiming squeezed the money in his hand, and said sharply, "No, you can't be an inspector! You resign immediately, or I will resign for you!"

Routuan didn't understand why Chen Qiming was so angry suddenly, all the grievances in his heart burst out, tears kept rolling in his eyes, he stubbornly bit his lip to prevent himself from crying.

"Do you think I'm willing to go out and overhaul the mecha for others? Every time I finish overhauling the mecha, my head hurts like it's going to explode, but I don't do things, why don't you go?"

Under the night, Rou Tuan huddled helplessly on the sofa, like an abandoned child.

At this moment, a corner of Chen Qiming's heart unconsciously undergoes a subtle change...

Although Routuan is different from other crying and fussy children, he is still a child. Because of the environment he was in when he was young, he had to force himself to grow up quickly. These are beyond his control. He has nothing to do Choice - no change, only death.

Chen Qiming couldn't even imagine what kind of life Routuan lived before he escaped from the military headquarters.During the period when Routuan was in a coma, he could hear cries for help every night, but he never saw Routuan shed a single tear.

He should have been like them, living on his own planet, staying with his parents carefree when he was a child, being sent to a college for higher education when he grew up, and going out to find a job he likes after graduation.He will meet the other half he likes, maybe not beautiful, but gentle and virtuous.

But all of this was ruined by the ruthless flames of war...

Chen Qiming sat silently beside Rou Tuan, the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows hit his face softly, outlining the outline of his face.

"I will try my best to make money, and you don't need to repair mechas for others anymore." Chen Qiming paused at this point, "You have just recovered, and if something goes wrong, I may have to sell this house to get you back." Save it."

Routuan lowered his head and said nothing. Because it was too dark, Chen Qiming couldn't see his expression clearly.

The two of them just sat in silence, neither of them spoke. When Chen Qiming almost thought that Routuan had fallen asleep, there was finally movement beside him.

Routuan supported himself and jumped to the ground, staring at Chen Qiming with a pair of big eyes blinking. At this moment, he stretched out his hand: "In that case, return the money to me."

The corner of Chen Qiming's mouth twitched, this kid was still a money fanatic after all.He straightened up, and calmly put the money into his pocket in front of Routuan.

"The money will be dedicated to family expenses in the future."

The fleshy face turned green, and he kept blowing his beard and staring behind him, but the person involved acted like nothing happened, and even gloated a little!

please!That's the money he earned, okay?When did he say he would confiscate it!

Chen Qiming went back to his room and turned on the virtual machine. It was still early, and he wanted to find a job online. He could also work part-time at home after training at night.

He is not the only one in the family now. Although it is strange to say so, he must shoulder the responsibility of being a parent now, and he must not let Routuan starve and freeze with him.

But when he first entered the virtual network, Chen Qiming was suddenly dumbfounded facing the empty central square.

Usually at this time, the central square should be crowded with people, but now there is no one there. Where did everyone go?

Chen Qiming walked around strangely, there were only two or three pedestrians on the street, and they seemed to be in a hurry.Chen Qiming was about to call out Mona when deafening cheers came from the giant screen in the central square.

The match in the arena was being broadcast live above, and a row of white characters at the bottom of the screen flashed quickly——Yaoguang VS Haochen?

Isn't Haochen the second player on the competition list who is not online all the time?

No.1 and No.2 are fighting, no wonder everyone ran away today.

Chen Qiming actually wants to watch the game. After all, the virtual network is not limited to only one American League, it includes all the Allied countries. Since there is not too much military intervention in the virtual network, the ranking of mechs is lower than the official schedule. It seems more convincing, and the excitement of the game will definitely not be unsatisfactory.

And for a mecha master like him, watching games is obviously more attractive than looking for a job.

"Haochen made a move! He finally made a move! In fact, he has been running around with Yaoguang from the beginning to now!"

The commentator's excited shouts sounded from the central square. On the screen, the dazzling black mecha moved very characteristically. If ordinary people saw it, they would only think that he was running around the field, but Chen Qiming could tell it at a glance. Yaoguang is consciously blocking Haochen's movements.

On the opposite side, Haochen's silver-white mecha can always easily avoid Yaoguang's offensive at the critical moment.

It looked like two playful children chasing each other in the field, but in fact, without the audience knowing, the two mechas were already engaged in a duel between the strong.

Winning or losing is just a matter of thought, as long as you don't pay attention, the goddess of victory may go to the other side.

"Haochen is about to make a move, Yaoguang has already made a defensive move!"

wrong!Haochen didn't intend to attack at all!He is going to...

"Oh my god! What's going on? Haochen suddenly disappeared in the venue!"

The commentator's sharp voice echoed around the central square, Chen Qiming stared at the giant screen motionlessly, he was waiting...in fact, it should be more precisely waiting for Haochen's appearance.

If he guessed correctly, Haochen did not disappear, but used a method of space jumping to create the illusion of himself disappearing.

As Chen Qiming expected, the moment Yaoguang looked away, Haochen appeared!

This time, Haochen's speed was swift and decisive, like an adult male leopard attacking his prey, Yaoguang seemed caught off guard by Haochen's sudden attack, Haochen's attack speed was too fast, if he Human's naked eyes can barely keep up with the speed, but Haochen's speed at this time has already exceeded the range that human naked eyes can see.

Almost instantly, Haochen soared into the sky.

"Three and a half weeks in the air!" The narrator shouted excitedly, the atmosphere reached a climax, and almost all the audience stood up straight, preparing for the final battle!

but……

The audience waited and waited until they became impatient, and did not wait for the ending.Haochen and Yaoguang seemed to be petrified in place suddenly, motionless.

Chen Qiming also found it strange at first, following the camera to carefully scan the two mechas on the ring, he suddenly noticed something, and unconsciously walked closer.

ah!that is……

He showed an expression of disbelief.

When was this done?He didn't even notice it!

The camera turned around on the screen, and the camera gave a close-up of the Yaoguang Mech. As the distance got closer, people suddenly realized that something was wrong!

"What are those thin lines?"

The audience did not know who yelled it first, and everyone woke up like a dream. The close-up shots on the screen had all switched to Yaoguang, and people were surprised to find that around the Yaoguang mech, there was something At that time, it was already entwined with densely packed thin threads, like a dense spider web wrapped around its prey.

Chen Qiming had already turned around and left the central square. There was no need for him to watch this match, because the outcome had already been decided.

Sure enough, before he could go far, the commentator announced the victory of "Haochen" from the direction of the central square. However, since Haochen hardly played games online, in terms of points, he still had to be inferior to the glory. .

But in the hearts of the audience, Haochen is undoubtedly the uncrowned king.

Chen Qiming didn't know when he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes the next day, the system had automatically logged him out of the virtual network.

He sat up from the bed in a daze, went to the bathroom, closed his eyes and washed his face.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Chen Qiming trembled, and only then saw the meat ball sitting on the right side of the sink.

"I had a nightmare all night, how could it be any better?" Chen Qiming wiped his face indiscriminately, "Don't keep climbing up, come down for me!"

Routuan curled his lips and pointed at the door: "I found someone sneaking around outside, so I kindly reminded you, just don't appreciate it."

"Sneaky?" For some reason, Lauren's face appeared in Chen Qiming's mind.

He threw the towel aside casually, and opened the door without waiting for the meat ball to make a sound.Outside the door, Lauren, with messy brown hair, showed a row of white teeth to him anxiously...

Chen Qiming saw that he looked like he was being robbed, and frowned: "Why did you come to my house so early in the morning?"

Lauren faltered and said, "I, I actually came last night. I didn't have time to let you know."

Sitting outside the door all night without notifying him?What shit reason?

Chen Qiming laughed and let Lauren enter the room. At this time, Routuan had just come out of the bathroom and saw Lauren coming in from the outside. He pointed at his face and turned to ask Chen Qiming, "Why did you bring the beggar home?"

Seeing that there was a child in Chen Qiming's family, Lauren couldn't help sighing, "Sure enough, I came too late, and you even have a child!"

Chen Qiming asked Lauren to wait in the lobby first, then ran to the kitchen to make some breakfast to deal with the meatballs, and then returned to the lobby.

Chen Qiming was still a little surprised by Lauren's sudden visit.

"You don't even say hello to me when you come, how can you make yourself into such a virtue? By the way, have you had breakfast? If not, there is still some in the kitchen. I'll get it for you."

Chen Qiming spoke very calmly, at least Lauren didn't notice anything wrong with his face.

Lauren glanced at Chen Qiming who was sitting across from him with flickering eyes, and said anxiously: "I came this time, actually, because of..."

Before he could finish what he said, Chen Qiming immediately answered, "I'd better go get you something to eat, because you're talking incoherently."

Chen Qiming was about to leave, Lauren saw that he might not be able to say these words for the rest of his life, so he immediately grabbed him.

"Ming, you, don't go, I'm here this time to apologize."

After Lauren spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller. If Chen Qiming wasn't by Lauren's side, she might have thought it was a mosquito screaming.

"I know it's useless to say these words now, but I still want to tell you." Lauren took a hard breath, "Yes, people from the military department came to me, and they threatened me that if I don't cooperate with them, I will expel my parents to the third planet. I really have no choice. I don’t ask you to forgive me. It’s just that these things have been stuck in my heart recently. When I think that I caused you to be like this, I can’t continue. Work……"

Lauren finished this paragraph in one breath, and at that moment, the stone that weighed on his heart finally fell to the ground, and he finally gave himself an explanation.

Chen Qiming sat quietly on the sofa, instead of looking at Lauren, he turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lauren didn't wait for Chen Qiming's reply for a long time, followed his gaze, but found that there was nothing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The silence after confessing to the other person is the hardest part, and Lauren knows it now.

As time passed, Lauren seemed to be waiting for the final verdict of death. He lowered his head nervously, not daring to look at Chen Qiming's face at this time.

After what seemed like a century, Chen Qiming finally spoke.

"I will not forgive you for these things."

really.Lauren closed her eyes in despair.He knew it would be like this, but it didn't matter anymore. He confessed everything to Chen Qiming, and he had an account for himself.

"I understand what you're doing."

Lauren raised her head in disbelief, meeting Chen Qiming's gaze.He found that after going through so many things, Chen Qiming could still smile at him!Are his eyes dazed?

"If I faced this situation, I might do the same thing as you, maybe even worse." Chen Qiming smiled, "But understanding you and forgiving you are two different things."

Lauren suddenly saw hope, and he took courage: "Then we will..."

"After going through so many things, I don't think we can get along like we used to." Chen Qiming put away his original smiling face and said seriously: "When the matter is over, I will formally submit my resignation to the company, and we should not meet each other in the future. good."

Lauren drooped her head and leaned weakly on the sofa.What was obviously expected in advance, but when he knew it, he still felt so uncomfortable.

"I see." Lauren sniffed and stood up from the sofa: "I can't help you, I am in trouble now, the military department has been staring at me, they must have found that I came to you Yes, I will be taken for questioning afterwards, and I will truthfully report the content of this conversation to them, and from now on, I will not have any contact with you again."

"It's good for everyone." Chen Qiming said calmly, without a trace of ups and downs in his eyes.

He is not hard-hearted, it is impossible to be completely indifferent to one thing, but he is a little tired, it is like this every time, friends or something, I really can't believe it...

Routuan held the bowl after hearing the door closing, and walked carefully in front of Chen Qiming. Seeing his despondent face, he swallowed all the words that were already on the verge of sarcasm.

"Are you hungry?" Routuan carefully pushed the bowl in front of Chen Qiming, "Eat it quickly, it will get cold if you don't eat it, it took me a lot of effort to hold it!"

Chen Qiming sneered: "It's not your turn to comfort me yet, go back to the room and get ready, it's time to go to the club."
