Chapter 107(1/2)

Ugo quietly retreated in helplessness, and the momentum of the pursuers suddenly became much weaker. Chasing was only a form. Under the leadership of Anson, the mercenary group returned to the camp without any danger.

On the way to retreat, the task list changed. Both tasks were originally waiting for confirmation, but now the task of assassinating Ansai was confirmed, but the task of assassinating Aturu was judged to be failed.

Yao Jia was sure that the prey that was hit would die, so the substitute became the only explanation. Since Kamiao City was a trap carefully laid by the rebels, it was normal that Aturu was a fake as a bait.

Even so, it is worth celebrating that it is difficult to kill Ansai successfully, especially when he fell into a trap in advance and achieved a temporary response, and there are still zero casualties.

At Anson's suggestion, the mercenary group found a fairly acceptable tavern to celebrate.

"Although there are some twists and turns in the middle and there are misunderstandings, after all, we have completed the task, so we have a drink first." Anson raised his wine glass heroically. What he wanted was an unknown spirit, orange-yellow color, and the taste was very strong. It was a specialty of Xiu Nanxing. The mercenaries were not picky about the quality of the wine, and they could just get drunk.

Chen Fang hid in the corner and did not touch the wine glass on the table. He originally didn't drink alcohol, but he had good things recently, so it was okay to try it when celebrating. Although his broken arm was treated without any serious damage, his numb fingers took forty hours to recover. He can't hold the cup at all now, and even if he was a little moved, he didn't want to make a fool of himself. Moreover, he was not very interested in wine.

"Sorry, I forgot that you are inconvenient in your health and have been unable to take care of yourself recently." Anson explained maliciously, and his tone and smile could not feel sorry.

"I didn't drink at first, didn't I say I wanted to rest? Why do I come to such a place?" Chen Fang was unwilling to pay attention to him, so he turned his head, but saw the wine glass handed by Linni hanging in the air.

Linni was cold to Chen Fang on the surface, but she was secretly concerned about him. She knew his injuries very clearly and knew that his hands were not convenient, so she helped him pick up the cup. With her usual personality, she must have experienced a psychological struggle. Who knew that Chen Fang was not aware of it and was determined to argue with Anson, and even said something she didn't drink.

At first there was an awkward silence, then Anson laughed: "This is a rest. Don't you celebrate and go back to sleep? I heard Susan say you don't drink. I didn't believe it at that time. How could mercenaries not drink? I didn't expect it to be true."

The Pili Bee was also full of surprise: "This is impossible. Didn't you drink all night with Susan? Is it a lie?"

The implication was clear, but since you didn't drink, Chen Fang could not speak out that night, and told him that he was drinking with the woman that night, and he drank the water for the whole night, but no one believed him, so he had to smile bitterly.

Why mercenaries like to drink, I am afraid they cannot find a unified answer. Perhaps, there are too many helpless things in this industry that require alcohol to anesthetize, and every escape from death is worthy of indulgence.

However, when it comes to cheers, Lian Linni and Yao Jia picked up the cups and drank strong wine, which shows the atmosphere.

Huo Niu shook his head regretfully: "To be honest, you are a little sissy, can you be like this? Is this the man in the empire like this?"

It was related to the dignity of a man, Chen Fang asked: "When did I ever feel sissy?"

The fire bull knew that he was wrong and added laughably: "You have nothing to say about fighting. That's so fierce, but as a man, drinking must be the same as fighting, and it must be fierce enough."

The Pili Bee smiled secretly, saying that this sentence is very frequently used, and it may not take long before the person gets familiar with it, the Fire Bull will say that fooling around must be as fierce as when fighting.

Anson seriously affirmed Huo Niu’s statement: “After that being said, drinking is just a matter of mind. I haven’t heard that drinking can kill you. At most, it’s just that you feel uncomfortable when you get drunk. The mercenaries are afraid of this? Don’t let me look down on men in the Empire. Otherwise, you don’t treat us as friends. You are a student of the Imperial Academy. Do you look down on us mercenaries?”

What a big hat! Isn’t it just a glass of wine? It can actually extend so much content, which is amazing. Chen Fang curiously examined the magical liquid. The genius believed in their nonsense, but the wine was the same, and no one could give him any face. Lin Ni had to drink the wine he handed over, and she had been taken care of a lot during this period.

"So, the dignity of the imperial men is in this glass of wine?" Chen Fang was humorous for a moment, just thinking that he had found a way out for himself, but no matter how he concealed it, others could see through the differences between the two. Who is Linni? It would be a great deal of face to invite her to drink, let alone do such a thing. How could Chen Fang let down the beauty's wishes?

Several male companions nodded seriously, while Yao Jia was waiting with interest.

Finally, Chen put it on his hands and tasted the first sip of wine in his life.

At first, his lips touched the edge of the cup, but the entrance felt a scorching feeling. This feeling reminded Chen Fang of the owner of his little hand.

It was embarrassing to feed a man in public. Linni didn't have the patience to wait for him to taste it slowly, and the wine inside was filled into his mouth like anger.

The spicy feeling almost made tears flow out, and people who drink for the first time are inevitably uncomfortable, let alone the special spirits made by Xiu Nanxing or being poured into their mouths.

Retribution, who told me to let Linni wait for too long? After all, she is an iceberg beauty, and she takes the initiative to hold up a wine glass for herself. This is her limit. She actually said she would not drink, which is not embarrassing her?

If others were to know what he thought, they would be vomiting blood on the spot. Isn’t it just drinking? There is also an iceberg beauty serving him, and it is too late for others to envy him. Just look at the eyes of Anson and others.

When the strong wine is poured into your stomach, it tastes bad, but it feels fluttering.

Chen Fang was too sober and too tired, and was immediately fascinated by this wonderful feeling. Before he could taste this feeling carefully, Anson launched an attack again.

"Everyone knows that there was a small misunderstanding in the action. I am ashamed to say that I have been joining the mercenary for too long. After I got promoted, my courage became smaller. I laughed at you. I wish you a drink as an apology."

This time, Linni did not help bringing the cup, and analyzed: "Since you are apologizing, don't toast, just punish yourself for one."

Everyone agreed.

Anson had to drink the wine in embarrassment and then ask for another drink: "I have no problem toasting now, right?"

The problem was Chen Fang. He couldn't move the wine glass. With Linni's first help, no one could interfere anymore. So, he first glanced at the wine glass on the table, then patiently waited for the beauty to hand over the wine, while enjoying the envious look of his male compatriots.

After only half a cup of wine was poured, Linni didn't mean to pour him again. She waited for him to taste it slowly. Although it was a subtle change, she could see a person's thoughts. Grandpa's teachings were indeed not bad. You should not be deceived by a woman's appearance. If a woman first meets you, you will feel very enthusiastic and kind. Don't believe that she fell in love with you at first sight, which means she is very kind and very enthusiastic to everyone. Only when this kind of intimacy is unique to you can it be cherished.

After drinking several rounds of wine, the topic was also broken.

Anson sighed: "It's been a long time since I was so exciting. Although I can't advance, I feel happy. However, you seem to owe me an explanation."

Chen Fang said lightly: "There is nothing to explain."

Linni said: "At that time, the mercenaries had serious shortages of heavy mechas. They would become cannon fodder after following the fire bull. I think it is not wrong to change the direction."

Anson interrupted: "At present, I am not questioning whether the decision is wrong, but changing the decision itself temporarily. Judging from the situation at that time, it is impossible for us to break through one side alone. Even if you want to take risks, you should not choose the east with the strongest defense."

Chen Fang said bluntly: "You actually need to know whether I have made a temporary change of decision or have a plan? If it was a temporary change of decision, it seems that I have no basis and the choice I made is unreasonable. If I had a long-term plan but didn't tell you, you would not accept it."

Anson said seriously: "It's not that I'm stingy, I change my decision without reason. Even if I'm from a mercenary group, this is a taboo. It's hard for anyone to accept your approach. If I were serious with you at that time, we might all die in Kamiao City."

Chen Fang nodded and said, "If I make a mistake in my judgment, we will die. There is no need to explain. We are still alive, which means that the judgment is correct and there is no need to explain. However, being honest with my companions is also necessary. I did make a temporary change of decision because I received a message, and the source and content of the information were inconvenient to disclose."

Anson asked in confusion: "So, you received the information after Yao Jia's shooting. The information tells you that the appearance of Aturu in Kamiao City is a trap, letting you go east."

Chen Fang shook his head: "The information was indeed received after Yao Jia took action, but it was not as much content as you guessed."

"It's enough to have this sentence. I won't ask what's left. As you said, if you make a mistake in your judgment, we will all die without explanation. Since we are all alive, you save everyone, and you don't need to explain anything, drink."

After all, I have been through life and death, at least I don’t lack trust. All Anson wants is a sentence, and he has not been concealed by others.

"Thank you." Chen Fang looked at Linni again with his help and had a drink, treating it as an explanation to everyone.

"Actually, we should respect Yao Jia with a cup. If it weren't for his last shot, we would have been in vain to work hard until the end." Huo Niu picked up the cup with a malicious smile.

"Are you hurt me or do you raise yourself in a different way? The first time you attacked, you couldn't even figure out the target and fired. The second time if you didn't squeeze out a gap, I wouldn't have the chance to attack." Yao Jia was not grateful, and naturally she didn't move the cup on the table.

"He is called being attentive. It doesn't mean to hurt you. I can testify. Before he retreats, he stayed behind you like a follower. Those who don't know what he thought he was your full-time bodyguard." The wine was a little bit over, and Chen Fang said more and more, revealing the fire bull's true feelings on the spot.

As soon as these words were said, everyone suppressed their smiles. No one was blind. If they didn't say it, why bother to make fun of such things, Yao Jia was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yao Jia snorted coldly on the spot: "Who wants someone to protect you? Didn't your job be cut off at that time? You can actually see what the Fire Bull is doing."

No matter how stupid Chen Fang was, he realized that he had made a stupid mistake. He said something after drinking, and hurriedly gave Pili Bee a wink, and then remedy: "I saw it by accident. Actually, what I mean is that this mission will be successful thanks to you. That shot is not something that anyone can do. It is hard for me to say that Pili Bee."

Chen Fang ignored the embarrassment of his best friend and Chen Fang's request for help, fearing that the world will not be in chaos: "That's right, I don't have that ability, and it's useless for me to do it. For me, can Niu Niu burst out with potential? Can he withstand six?"

Yao Jia, who was angry, stood up and turned her back on her face. This was a woman's patent, but if she was asked to leave, the celebration would end in a bad mood.

Whoever causes trouble will be settled. Chen Fang stood up with no choice: "The first time I drank was purely nonsense, I wish you a drink. What Huo Niu said makes sense. If it weren't for your critical shot, we would have been in vain this time. You are an excellent sniper, don't deny your ability."

Although there is no novelty and no substantial content, starting from the ability, compliments are found right. Moreover, even if the compliments are said from his master, it is quite valuable.

Although Yao Jia didn't say that, she admired his ability very much. Her anger was relieved in an instant, and she dispelled her position. She took the opportunity to threaten and said, "I dare not take it. If I want to toast, I would like to toast you. If you hadn't dragged the rebels, the mercenary group would have been wiped out long ago. But I'm very curious. At first, you struggled with the same mecha as the scarecrow and almost died, but suddenly she came back to life, like a different person. It's not a problem to ask me to stay, unless you say it, what's going on."

Brain domain, this is a great good news. Chen Fang didn't mind sharing it with his teammates. He told it out in full and analyzed it at the end. This may be because of the parasite.

Puff, the Pili Bee, who lacked mental preparation, just swallowed the wine and sprayed it out on the spot: "Don't tell me, you used to manually control the mecha."

Chen Fang refused to mention that nightmare experience and said, "Well, I got a serious illness when I was young. After I recovered, my brain area dropped to a very low level. I can't use my brain area to drive a mecha."

Anson was unwilling to believe that the newbie who lost to Hall Star was to manually control the mecha.

Although Yao Jia appreciates Chen Fang's ability, there is a limit after all. She has tried it as a manual control mode to control the remote mecha, but using hand control in melee combat is a big joke.

Only Linni did not doubt that she and Chen Jie had never seen Chen Fang drive a mecha with her brain for two weeks. In this way, Chen Fang's various confusing behaviors were also explained.

Judging from the battle between Chen Fang and the Scarecrow, his melee skills are not only not bad, but also very powerful. He can definitely be called a master. However, as a master, his physical skills are too poor. He is as stiff as a piece of wood, completely incompatible with his excellent tactical consciousness. Even if she can see things, the sixth-level mercenary who saved Chen Fang will never be mistaken. Unless he is controlled manually, the controller hidden inside will not be a mecha master, but a zombie.

Why doesn’t Chen Fang strengthen his physique? When manually controlling the mecha, his physique is not very useful, or it is not useful?

The most direct proof is that a person who has the ability to use brain domain to drive a mecha will never force himself to control the mecha manually, causing his finger cramps.

Linni didn't completely believe it. She guessed that Chen Fang had indeed suffered from severe illness, but she had not recovered. She had been troubled by the disease for many years. Moreover, the virus not only affected the brain, but also made people's physical condition particularly weak. A healthy person could not be so fragile. Now it has been much better. When we first met, Chen Fang was like a glass person.

However, such a man with an extremely fragile constitution actually survived in the world of mercenaries, and became a hot dark horse as a strong man.

Linni is not a powerful person. Compared to her dazzling double-gun killing and extraordinary melee skills, she admires Chen Fang's almost paranoid persistence.

This man seems to never know how to give up and never be willing to lose to others. A person with this spirit, even if he does not become a mercenary and is not a mecha master, must be an excellent man.

It was this spirit that silently attracted Linni, which made her gradually develop a dependence and even placed the hope of the mercenary group on Chen Fang. Facts proved that Chen Fang was a person worth looking forward to. He not only possessed the skills and persistence, but also had the most precious sense of responsibility of a man. He led the team out of the predicament step by step.

With Linni's approval, everyone finally began to accept this explanation, but the topic shifted to Chen Fang's strength.

With manual control of the mecha, you can jump to the third level mercenary and become the recent dark horse of the Mercenary Association. How strong is the hidden strength? Perhaps, you can see from Chen Fang's performance after his awakening.

As we all know, the Scarecrow's strength is not even enough to hold on with the ability of the fourth-level mercenary of Anson, and Linni can only use the help of Shining to save her life. The powerful mecha that appeared later was unstoppable, but Chen Fang could pick two of them, kill one, and kill one away. Isn't this called being strong?

The above is the judgment of Pili Bee and Fire Bull. Anson is skeptical. There is still a difference between manual control of mechas and brain domain control of mechas. In manual mode, Chen Fang can be free from the limitations of his constitution, but if he uses brain domain to control mechas, the defects will be exposed. At best, he can gain a certain advantage in speed, and it is impossible to make a big leap in ability.

As the topic rose to the height of ability, the men immediately became interested, and Yao Jia's persistence in ability was no less than that of any man. After a while, the conversation was full of gunpowder, which evolved into fierce debates, and even drank more wine.

The Huo Niu blushed and emphasized: "Don't forget, his physique can be strengthened."

Anson reminded considerately: "Don't forget that strengthening is limited by physical fitness. The degree to which it can be strengthened depends on talent. Based on common sense, it is impossible for him to achieve better results than normal people."

After all, Chen Fang was still subject to many restrictions when driving a mecha. He could not use his brain domain before. With his extraordinary talent, he reached his peak in manual control. Now, he has changed to a slightly higher starting point from scratch. However, the slightly higher starting point is still a congenital deficit for others, and a few regrets come from time to time during the conversation.

Chen Fang was completely uninterested in the above topics. How could fate be fair? What's the use of blaming others? Taking back the brain that originally belonged to him would be a great luck.

The brain area is less than fifteen years old, and others have long given up on the urge to drive the mecha to fight. Only a pervert like him can think of hard-working manual control, and only when manual control like him reaches its peak, or bottleneck, can they experience the surprises brought by the brain area control mecha.

In the end, the Huo Niu had to helplessly admit that Chen had a very slim chance of surpassing ordinary people in physical strengthening, and parasites became the only hope.

In the past, parasites were high-end goods that Huo Niu dared not think of. Now they have reached the third-level mercenary and have formed an alliance with Anson's team. You can still think about it.

Anson swallowed the strong wine in one sip and said, "It's not too difficult to get a low-level parasite. You can get a reward for a special task. However, there is too much uncertainty in that thing, and it is feasible to improve your strength. It's use to make up for the defects. Who knows that the parasite you choose can strengthen your physique. Besides, a person can only merge with one parasite. If you change to a particular parasite, it may make him lose his brain again, which is not worth the loss. Alas, it's not that brother gloating, you're too careless. After being stuck for so long, you heard that such a garbage parasite is the first time you meet you. If you change to someone else, this parasite is useless."
