After crying for a while, Su Xuefei finally regained her composure. The two of them left the school silently without saying anything.
After wandering aimlessly on the street for half an hour, Su Xuefei suggested going to the library to read. Chen Xing didn't want to wander around on the street to avoid exposing his whereabouts, so he agreed. After a while, the two came to a translucent building in the middle of Xiangzhang Road. The all-glass exterior wall reflects dazzling luster in the sunlight, and you can see the long and wide oak table inside, as well as rows of endless bookcases.
In most cities, libraries are semi-public facilities. After paying the fee of two copper coins, the two entered.
The air conditioner is big and very comfortable. The hall was quiet, with a few people sitting at the table, reading, writing or drawing. The two found a corner seat and sat down. Su Xuefei opened her schoolbag, took out her textbook, and read quietly. Chen Xingze randomly selected a gossip magazine of that month and sat next to her to read it.
The cover of the magazine showed a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes with slightly white temples. He was born square and serious, with an eagle eyebrow and a straight sword, exuding an aura of calmness and authority.
Chen Xing recognized this person as Duke Zilan, the leader of the Black Feather Principality. His name was "Dongfang Xuanyuan". He had a hot temper and belonged to the militant faction in the kingdom.
"After the capture of Farrington, the Duke of Purple Lan was accused of being 'too cruel', and the Duke's Palace responded that 'the war is ruthless and the sword has no eyesight'."
"A great victory on the outside, but empty on the inside. According to rumors, the treasury of the Black Feather Principality is less than 3 million gold, and the debt has reached more than 20 million gold..."
"Three Phase Heavy Industries has reached a new high and released a new Gauss sniper rifle 'Eagle Fury II', which is powered by psychic energy and uses 8mm pure iron sniper bullets. It is equipped with eight times and sixteen times non-reflective sniper scopes. It is expected to be released in March next year..."
There were several headlines across the cover, and Chen Xing turned directly to the page about sniper rifles. He had never been much interested in gossip about the upper classes.
The poster for "Eagle Fury II" takes up two pages. It is more than four meters long, completely black, like a silent eagle, its power shines through the paper. The design is in line with the consistent style of Three Phase Heavy Industry, simple and smooth, without a gun box, and single-shot loading.
The barrel is mixed with 5% fine gold for high durability. Generally, the longer the range of a sniper rifle, the higher the demand for materials. Any slight deformation will lead to large deviations.
The so-called "Gauss firearms" are a type of rifle that uses electromagnetic acceleration orbits as power to fire metal ammunition. The advantages are low sound, stable ballistics, and the ability to shoot at ultra-long range.
Gaussian weapons require huge amounts of electricity. Before the Cataclysm, they could only be installed on warships, commonly known as "electromagnetic guns." After the Cataclysm, some humans awakened to psychic powers. Scholars have discovered that psychic energy can also drive Gaussian weapons and are more efficient than electrical energy, so portable electromagnetic weapons powered by psychic energy gradually appeared.
This "Eagle Fury II" can be said to be one of the most high-tech representatives at present. It is the best in terms of material and technical content.
After turning a few pages further, an introduction to a body armor appeared.
"Red Clay Heavy Industry has grandly launched the battlefield-grade heavy-duty alloy body armor 'Titan III'. It is composed of twelve layers of metal spring sheets and weighs 63kg. With psychic armor level 1, it can withstand frontal artillery bombardment. The experimental parameters are..."
Body armor is generally divided into three major grades, namely outdoor grade, battlefield grade and custom grade. This product from Hongtu Heavy Industry is obviously used to combat "Eagle Fury II".
Sanxiang Heavy Industries and Hongtu Heavy Industries are both headquartered in the central wilderness. They are the two largest group companies, and their competition is fierce. Often one releases weapons and the other releases armor, opposing each other.
Seeing the introduction of body armor, Chen Xing thought about buying himself a bulletproof vest. This thing is a double-edged sword that can improve protection but reduce flexibility. Then he thought about whether to change to a dagger with a rune circuit to increase its cutting ability...
In my wild thoughts, time flew by quickly, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The two left the library, had afternoon tea at a nearby coffee shop, and then returned to Nuanxin Building.
When they were about to arrive, the two of them walked apart to avoid being noticed by Su Muchu. Chen Xing wandered in the alley for more than a quarter of an hour before walking back. As soon as he turned out of the alley, he saw a middle-aged man and woman standing at the door. They are all in their forties, neatly and well-dressed, and they are clearly middle class in society. Both of them looked unhappy, and the woman pointed at Su Muchu and her daughter and kept asking sternly,
"Our son is usually well-behaved, so why would he hit someone first? It must be your daughter who is causing trouble! If he doesn't behave well, he acts like a vixen all day long..."
When Chen Xing saw this, he quickly stepped aside.
Su Muchu was furious at the scolding, and started to scold the woman with her hands on her waist, "Hey, eh, eh, why are you talking! You look well dressed, but you are worse than the shrew on the street. What do you mean my daughter is causing trouble? Our Xue Fei has always been a good student in the class, ranking among the best in exams every year. Your son is always flirting with trouble, and I haven’t even said that he harassed our Xue Fei, but you are the evil ones and have started filing a complaint!"
"It's really a spoiled act. Our son is doing well. He went back to school to play ball for a while, but you guys rushed him to the hospital. You dared to say that we are evil people and file a complaint first." The woman said aggressively, and then pulled. He touched the man's arm and said, "The child's father, please speak up. His son is already in the hospital..."
"Miss Su, although our family is honest and we do our jobs in a disciplined manner, we are not easily bullied. If you don't explain the truth to me clearly today, don't think about it again in the future. I’m messing around here, I keep my word!” the man said angrily.
"Mr. Li, our Xue Fei has been good since she was a child and has never caused trouble. Don't be indifferent to right from wrong. We are orphans and widowed mothers. We don't want to cause trouble, but we are never afraid of it!" Su Muzhu opened her eyes angrily and said with her hands on her hips.
The quarrel quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, who came over to watch. When the woman saw this, she pretended to be pitiful and wiped her tears and said, "Let's all judge. This shameless mother and daughter will bully us honest people and send my son to the hospital. They also say that we evildoers will complain first... …”
"I didn't expect them to be like this." "That shouldn't be the case. Xue Fei is still a very well-behaved child." "As the saying goes, one knows the face but not the heart. Who can say for sure?" "A-Zhu is usually a mess. A little bit, but I’m not bad-hearted, there must be some misunderstanding here.”
The citizens of Crow Crow were simple and well-behaved citizens. After listening to the woman's words, they started talking a lot and pointed at Su Muchu and her daughter from time to time.
Without saying a word, Su Xuefei returned to the store, and with the help of several other Orioles, she moved out the LCD screen used as a TV in the kitchen, and then operated the red watch to send out the video record of today's school.
"Beautiful class beauty, I think you should obey me..."
A frivolous voice came from the speaker, and Li Hui's parents' expressions suddenly changed, as if they had been slapped.
"You're from the countryside, do you know where this place is? Do you know who I am?"
"If you dare to make me unhappy, I will kick you out at any time!"
Seeing this, the neighbors who were watching showed angry expressions. Many of them were refugees, and they all became angry when faced with this blatant discrimination. When I saw Li Hui hit someone with a basketball, I was even more indignant.
Until the end, when Chen Xing slapped Li Hui away, the crowd burst into warm applause.
"Well done!" "Yes, you deserve it!" "Break his foul mouth!" "Trash!" "Bitch!"
The faces of Li Hui's parents turned blue and white, and their expressions were extremely ugly, as if they were trying to find a crack in the ground to get in. Then he lowered his head and left quickly.
"Go back and discipline your son properly. If you continue like this, he will be worse than a scumbag." "Scum of society!" "It would be better to have a piece of tofu than to give birth to him..."
There were constant shouts and curses coming from behind, and Li Hui's parents walked faster, almost running away.
