There is only one day left before the start of the competition.
"Why is there a pre-game party for this game?" Lin Lin raised his arms and looked at the email he had just received with a puzzled expression. This was sent to all the contestants in Xinghai City at the moment, meaning that they should be allowed to attend today. In the evening, attend the player dinner hosted by the league officials on time.
Qi Xin, who was sitting in front of Lin Lin, also had a look of helplessness: "This is an old tradition. Every competition will hold a dinner before the competition. It was originally held three days before the competition, but as you know, Consultant Lin, during this period So many things happened, and I forgot about it as soon as I got busy. Didn’t I just think of it today? The competition just happens to start tomorrow, so..."
"Okay, okay, I just want to ask, can I not participate?" Lin Lin waved his hand to express that he had no interest in the contestants' dinner.
"This shouldn't be possible." Qi Xin smiled reluctantly and continued: "All the rules of the competition will be announced during the dinner. Moreover, the dinner itself is for the contestants to cleanse themselves from the dust. Consultant Lin can also attend the dinner. Make some friends who are on par with you, don’t you think?”
"Do you have to go?" Lin Lin glared at Qi Xin.
Qi Xin glared back, unwilling to be outdone: "I have to go."
"Okay, you are the director now, so whatever you say will be whatever you say." Lin Lin spread his hands. Since he couldn't hide, he could only go to the dinner party and hope nothing would happen.
"By the way, Counselor Lin, Commander Liu sent a message this morning. He should arrive in Xinghai City before the dinner begins."
"Oh?" Lin Lin retracted his leg as he was about to step out of the director's office door, turned around and asked, "Did Grandpa Liu ask me to pick him up? I'm very good at picking up people."
"Commander Liu said that you should do whatever you want, and don't be constrained by his arrival. He also said that he would also go to the dinner to see the genius pilots of this generation." Qi Xin Smiling slightly, he did not feel any regret at all because his position as acting director was about to change hands. On the contrary, Qi Xin felt extremely happy at this moment.
Twenty days, exactly twenty days! I was originally a deputy director with nothing to do, but because of that idiot Treve, I was busy for twenty days. Seeing that Commander Liu was about to return to the Orion Spiral Arm, could he not be happy?
At this moment, Qi Xin had begun to think about how he should relax after Commander Liu took back the director's affairs.
First go to the east of the city to eat a meal of earthly delicacies that I have been craving for a long time, and then go to the north of the city to watch the beast fighting show coming from the fairy spiral arm...
"Director Qi?" Seeing Qi Xin's sudden silence, Lin Lin stepped forward and waved his hand in front of Qi Xin's eyes, and Qi Xin recovered.
The first thing I said after I recovered was: "I can still drink!"
"Director Qi, what else can you drink?" Lin Lin looked at Qi Xin confused. What's wrong with this man? He actually took away his spirit while talking to him? He also said some strange things. Is it because Grandpa Liu is coming and this guy is scared to death?
Qi Xin, who knew he was losing his temper, waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I'm fine. Consultant Lin, don't you still have something to do? Then I won't keep you."
"I have something to say, Director Qi. Don't keep it in your heart. As an investigation consultant, I have the obligation to help you." After Lin Linyi said righteously, he turned and left the office. At this time, he needs to leave space for Qi. After Xin Jing was quiet, Lin Lin also knew that the feeling of suddenly losing power was very painful, just like when he piloted a starry sky mecha to defeat the Sky Devouring Beast, he would indeed feel a little confused when he suddenly lost his powerful power.
After Lin Lin left, Qi Xin gave himself two slaps: "Qi Xin, Qi Xin, what's the matter with you? You're so rude."
…
In the evening, Qi Xin drove outside Anji's villa and met Lin Lin. Lin Lin was ordered by Qi Xin to put on a dress.
"Director Qi, I don't think it's necessary?" Lin Lin twisted unconsciously. Although the dress fit him very well, Lin Lin was really not used to wearing the dress. He always felt that it was restrictive and difficult to move around.
"It's very necessary. If you, Consultant Lin, don't have the status of the highest consultant, you can wear whatever you want. Even if you don't wear it, it doesn't matter. But unfortunately, here, Consultant Lin, you are representing our Orion. General Administration of the Spiral Arm Alliance, how can you let others steal the limelight?" Qi Xin glanced at Lin Lin with his peripheral vision and had to say that Consultant Lin looked really handsome in this outfit. If I were a young girl , he will probably chase him crazily.
When Qi Xin said this, Lin Lin had no way to refute. After all, what they said was indeed true. After helping the Ye family rescue Ye Qinglong, Lin Lin's identity was exposed, although it was not as popular as everyone on the street. I know him, but outsiders also know that there is a young man named Lin Lin who became a senior official of the General Administration of the Orion Spiral Arm Alliance at a young age, and single-handedly rescued Ye Qinglong, the daughter of the Ye family, from the kidnappers. , once these buffs are stacked, as long as you say your name, you will definitely be recognized by others. After all, the name Lin Lin is really too Chinese, and only people from China on Earth would be named like this. .
"Then I'll say I shouldn't go." Lin Lin was helpless.
"It's okay if you don't go. If you don't go, people will say that this league player participating in the competition is really arrogant. He didn't even go to the dinner. He obviously looks down on us. During the competition, didn't you, Consultant Lin, become the target of public criticism?" Qi Xin smiled bitterly and said, although the competition is organized by the alliance, the participants in the competition are for the residents of the entire Orion Spiral Arm. Who dares to offend so many people at once? ?
For this dinner, the alliance specially booked a top hotel in order to let the players feel the sincerity of the alliance.
Before Lin Lin got out of the car, they could see a large number of people gathering outside the restaurant, including rich kids in luxurious clothes and ordinary players who looked a little shabby.
Qi Xin's car slowly passed through the crowd and stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. As soon as Qi Xin got off the car, everyone started talking. Among them, there were several middle-aged men who handed Qi Xin their business cards attentively, saying that they were middle-aged. The men can actually only be identified by their voices. After all, these are not human beings, and it is difficult to tell their true gender from their appearance.
"Is that the acting director of the alliance?"
"Have you noticed that the acting director actually drove here by himself, and I just saw someone else in the co-pilot through the windshield?"
"Is it fake? What is the identity of the person who can let the acting director drive here?"
"I heard that Commander Liu is coming back. Do you think he is the one?"
"Commander Liu? Are you talking about the one from Fanata?"
"Yes, yes, besides that person, I don't know who else can have such a grand scene."
Ignoring everyone's comments, Qi Xin first accepted the business cards handed to him by several foreign men. Qi Xin walked to the other side of the car expressionlessly, opened the door from the outside, and let Lin Lin get out.
Seeing a young man coming out of the passenger seat, everyone onlookers were shocked. The high-ranking acting director of the Alliance General Administration actually drove a young man? Could this be his son? That shouldn't be the case. How could I open the car door for my son? Isn't this a mess?
"Did I see it wrong? Did a young man get off Director Qi's car?"
"You read that right, Director Qi opened the car door himself."
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Lin Lin walked into the restaurant expressionlessly. Qi Xin beside him was full of excitement. His actions could be said to have helped Consultant Lin attract the attention of a large group of people. Now, Lin Lin The consultant should be satisfied, right?
When Lin Lin was about to speak, Qi Xin took the lead and said, "Counselor Lin, I saw a few old friends, so I won't bother you to meet new ones. We'll see you later."
After saying that, Qi Xin disappeared from Lin Lin's sight without giving Lin Lin a chance to speak.
"This guy is just looking for trouble for me." Lin Lin shook his head. Qi Xin's actions just now did attract attention to himself, but Lin Lin didn't want to. Lin Lin just wanted to eat something quietly, and then Just wait until the dinner is over. With Qi Xin's actions, won't he become the one that attracts all the attention? How can I eat by myself?
Sure enough, just as Lin Lin reached out to pick up a piece of cake, someone came up to talk to him.
"Hello, let me introduce you to me. I am Taxi from Beta Ophiuchus." A young man with snake scales on his face smiled at Lin Lin and extended his hand.
"Hello, Taxi, my name is Lin Lin, and I come from the Earth in the solar system." Lin Lin had no choice but to put down the cake in his hand and shook hands with Taxi.
After hearing that Lin Lin came from the earth, Taxi couldn't help but open his eyes wide, but his originally relatively small snake eyes could only be like this: "You are from the earth? Then we are neighbors, we Ophiuchus Star Beta is only six light years away from your earth. If you come to Ophiuchus in the future, you can contact me and I will take you around."
Although Lin Lin didn't have a good impression of Taxi, who he knew very well, he still had a good impression of him. The most important thing was that after getting to know Lin Lin, Taxi did not pester Lin Lin with questions. Xi, just asked a name and then turned around to meet other players, which allowed Lin Lin to finally eat his little cake with peace of mind.
"Lin Lin? Monitor?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Lin Lin couldn't help but turn around.
Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Lin Lin tried hard to recall it in his mind for a few seconds before a name blurted out: "Are you Gao Feng? Why are you here? Are you here to participate in the competition too?"
Some people died, but not completely...
