"Ah"
She reluctantly put down the white communication ball in her hand. The woman lowered her head and thought for a while. Finally, she dispersed some of the distracting thoughts in her mind. At the same time, she slowly stretched out her body curled up on the sofa: "This It’s a bit difficult for me.”
She stood up, pushed open the door to the lounge, and then asked the two subordinates guarding the door amidst the sudden sound of competition in the distance: "Today's UEFA Cup is only for the top 16 of the individual competition. Race?"
"Yes, miss." One of the men in black replied in a low voice: "Because the schedule for arranging sixteen games is tight, they arranged the team competition for tomorrow, and the battle for the quarterfinals on Together"
"That's good."
Before the subordinate could finish speaking, the woman interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Arrange the trip to take me home."
"Where's Wings of Liberty?"
"Just inform them. My game is over anyway."
After tightening the coat around her body, the woman frowned impatiently: "I have some things that need to be dealt with online, so"
"Leave the rest of the time to Free Flying."
"yes."
The responses of the two subordinates were left behind as the woman's footsteps faded away, and then as the competition stage approached, they were filled with the still lively sounds of fighting and commentary ahead. The woman stopped and looked at the stage for a while, then withdrew her gaze from the image of the competition on the stage with some indifference. Then she ignored the sudden discussion that broke out around her and walked along the edge of the venue where the lights could not reach her. He walked out silently toward the periphery of the hall: "Congratulations on your beautiful life."
"Liangchen Meiyu played really well!"
"Is this the new star that Wings of Liberty spent a lot of money to dig out?"
“Looks very good, and he is handsome too”
"I heard that he is a member of Tianxiang Company and is currently chasing his immediate boss."
"Really? Did he succeed?"
"It's not clear, but I heard that he is about to succeed, and he also vowed to use this UEFA Cup championship as a gift to him."
"Wow, this is the rhythm of wanting to be a winner in life! No, no, no, I want to crowdfund to buy his hands and feet."
Putting the noise around her behind her, the woman with downcast eyebrows pulled her coat and walked out of the gate of the alliance headquarters, then braved the deep night sky and stepped onto a luxury hover car that had been waiting at the door. From the competition venue at the back, there were still passionate shouts from Blossoms, but another incident that pushed the atmosphere to a climax had nothing to do with her who had already left: "Then please, audience, please be patient. Rest, we’ll start soon, oh my god, you’re finally here!”
There was a burst of noise in the voice of the commentary channel, and then it sounded again with the gasping of another person: "Okay audience gentlemen, here is a big news. Our commentator this time has finally arrived at the commentator's seat! "
"Finally no more one-man show!"
"I'm sure you won't believe me, but the guests that I have invited, each and every one of them has a bigger background than the last!" The noise of the audience seemed to subside for a while with the words of Flowers, and then followed him The next sentence shouted and the excitement started again: "Let us invite the founder of the dynasty and the current high-level shield of the alliance, Mr. Chen Tianfan!"
Wow
Seemingly aware of the violent explosion of momentum at the competition venue, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was sitting in the hover car, looked back at the place, then turned around a little lonely and signaled his car to continue heading towards the depths of the brightly lit city. Moved on. A few minutes later, the hover car stopped in front of a certain villa area in Hualan City, and then, escorted by several men in black, the woman's figure was sent to a certain villa. She looked at the time, then gave up the idea of taking a rest first. After a few hurried instructions to the servants, she rushed back to her room and quickly boarded the game. The figure belonging to Xueling Huanbing appeared in the military camp of Fars Fortress the next moment, and then ignored the sights of the imperial soldiers and scattered players around Fars Fortress, and ran out from the gate close to the principality.
After briefly sorting out her surroundings, she calmed down her inexplicably rising nervousness, and then saw the person who had been waiting there for a long time at the nominal war front between the two countries, which was the road leading to the small town of Anta. Duan Qing's figure. Seeing the other party's arrival, Duan Qing, who was doing nothing, lowered his arms across his chest, and then showed a relieved smile in front of the woman who was gradually approaching: "I guess you might come later, So I went to watch the video of the game first."
""
"Okay, don't be so depressed. After all, the fight is still remarkable."
Picking up the long iron box at his feet from the ground, Duan Qing showed a sunny smile: "Here, this is it."
"This is?"
"A product made by a race named Igrama."
Duan Qing shook his head and explained: "It's very heavy, very cold, and very tasteless."
Looking at the other party with doubtful eyes, the woman reached out and took the big iron box. Then, under the smiling gaze of the other party, she slowly opened the inside of the iron box wrapped in cloth: "This is"
"But it suits you, doesn't it?"
Duan Qing clapped his hands: "Although it is inappropriate to say this, but"
"If you want to give them as a gift, just give them a pair." He said with a smile: "Anyway, the effect is so perfect."
"Do you really want to give it to me?" The woman looked at the other person in confusion: "Where did you get this thing?"
"Tanya's underground black market has many shops that specialize in selling items of unknown origin." Duan Qing explained casually: "We got this through gambling in one of the shops, so it should be considered equipment obtained through legitimate channels. Bar?"
"No, I mean"
The woman hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally took back her words a little lonely: "Forget it, it shouldn't be."
"Nothing?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with some humor: "Do you think this is a routine arranged by someone, and I specially provide help in times of need in the hope of capturing your cold heart? It's too sweet, girl, this thing It has been lying in the room of our Adventurer Association’s headquarters since the dark came over, and no one has ever touched it.”
"That is to say" the woman who took a deep breath blinked her eyes and suddenly showed a strange smile: "Is this the common property of your adventure group?"
"Uh" Duan Qing scratched his cheek: "Well, anyway, you just take it and use it! Let me explain to Mengzhu. Anyway, it's waste utilization and favors. She saw you took this away Weapons, they will probably be very happy as well.”
"It's always not good to give collective things to others." The woman, who was a little hot in her heart, looked at the other person with a smile, and then slowly shook her head: "And this thing is too expensive, I can't accept it. "
"If you really can't accept it, we can lend it to you." Duan Qing replied as if he had been prepared: "As for outsiders, we have climbed the Falling Star Mountain together, no matter what We can be considered comrades-in-arms, and your relationship with Mengzhu is so good, how can you be considered an outsider?"
"Take it, take it, don't hesitate anymore." Seeing the opponent staring at him, Duan Qing waved his hands guiltily: "Do you still want to win the game?"
"our company"
Xueling Huanbing suddenly whispered: "Something happened just a few days ago."
"The captain of the sixth team in the meeting embezzled a lot of money in the name of the company." As her voice gradually deepened, the woman's eyes slowly dropped to Duan Qing's chest: "Later we found out that he Because of his behavior, he planned to expel the worm from the company, but later the people in the game department held several all-hands meetings to clarify the whereabouts of the money, proving that he was using it for the future of the company."
"They all promised me that such a thing will never happen in the future, and they will recover the millions spent in a short time." Xue Ling Huan Bing whispered: "Although I still don't want to give up. over them, but"
"When the situation gets bigger, this kind of thing is inevitable." Duan Qing patted the other party's shoulder: "After all, there are several layers between you, and you don't have much emotional communication. It takes time to gain mutual trust. accumulation."
"I have thought a lot about this matter." Xue Ling Huanbing nodded, and then continued: "I think how to handle this incident, how to maintain the company's internal harmony and the company's dignity at the same time, how to get closer to employees Their relationship, how to reunite the Wings of Freedom as a big family. But during this period, whenever I think about these things, I can’t help but think of those times.”
"Those times we spent together on Fallen Star Mountain."
"There seems to be no relationship between the two, right?" Duan Qing scratched his cheek again: "Guild management is guild management, and taking risks is taking risks."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, you should understand." Xue Ling Huan Bing raised her head again and looked deeply into the other person's face: "That kind of life and the way of getting along with your adventure group is the ideal state I want most. .”
"Hey" Duan Qing touched his nose and smiled: "I don't want to live every day with bonuses and wages being deducted."
"The current Wings of Freedom seem to be very powerful, even occupying many places in the finals, but I know very well in my heart that we lack the foundation of those old guilds." Xue Ling Huanbing whispered: "Free Flying The series of practices adopted have once again scattered a lot of the accumulation of foundation, so now, we have actually reached the edge of the cliff.”
"Every time I look at the eyes of those members looking at me, I can feel this." She crossed her shoulders: "That feeling of not being where you should be."
"No wonder you called those old team members back." Duan Qing sighed and said: "Your Free Snow team still looks very good. As long as you practice more and cooperate with each other to make up for their shortcomings, then If we promote this kind of atmosphere, we might be able to achieve another unexpected effect.”
"Do you think so too?"
"Nonsense, I have led countless teams." Duan Qing suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then scratched the back of his head and decided to skip this too profound topic: "Anyway, I will have a good time with you. Get along with the team members, at least know their fighting styles and skills and moves to enhance feelings and understanding of each other. These are all basic lessons for a captain."
"Yes." The woman nodded slowly, and her eyes slowly fell on the iron box in her hand.
"As for your own strength." Duan Qing, who was aware of this, continued: "In conjunction with the weapon in your hand, this weapon may be able to produce unexpected effects, if the intelligence is processed well. , maybe you can even surprise your opponent. Of course.”
"None of this matters anymore, what matters is your attempts."
Speaking of this, Duan Qing's face gradually became serious: "I watched your previous games, and to be honest, it's not a very good idea to keep trying to break through."
"Then what should I do?"
"The use of sword energy requires a moment of balance. I should have said this before." Duan Qing sighed and said: "No one can maintain that balance all the time, no matter from the principle of sword energy, as well as This is impossible to achieve from a human perspective.”
He looked at the other party for a while, and finally sighed, pulled out his weapon from his waist, and then slashed hard into the distant air: "The transmission of energy requires the resonance of air fluctuations. Regarding this point, every game The parameters are all different, so everyone who understands these things, the first thing they need to adapt to when entering the game is the world itself."
He pointed to the air next to him with a frown, but he seemed to be pointing to the entire free world: "Adaptation is a time process. If you don't have time, then you can only rely on feeling."
"Feeling?" Xue Ling Huan Bing asked with dull eyes.
"Yes, it feels." Duan Qing exhaled, then suddenly swung to the right again, and then sent the air roar caused by a certain sword energy into the darkness in the distance: "The path of the sword, the straight line of the strike, There are many things that need to be felt to grasp the strength and resonance, and sometimes it even becomes a kind of metaphysics. However, if you want to understand this in a short time, you can only rely on this sense of presence. If you want to do it This level often requires a lot of concentration, and if you don't have the right opportunity now, it's almost impossible to do it."
"I do not understand."
"You don't need to understand, it's a kind of metaphysics." Duan Qing reached out and pinched the woman's chin, looking back at the far away sword energy: "But there are certain opportunities that are suitable for you to understand. It can still be created.”
"Opportunity?"
"To put it simply, it's to amplify your ability to perceive things around you." Duan Qing flicked his black sword edge, then suddenly swept it across the woman's snow-white neck: "You"
"Would you like to try it?"
