Chapter 308 Promise

Chen Ming sat on the sofa in the dormitory.

After taking a bottle of pure water from Bai Quan and taking a sip, he asked, "By the way, did you ask He Gu to take me to the report meeting?"

Bai Quan sat down next to Chen Ming and replied, "Of course not, I just asked him to bring you to me."

"What does he mean?"

Bai Quan said without thinking, "Of course he wants you to help with the Psychic Research Institute, what else could it be?"

He then explained to Chen Ming the situation of the Psychic Research Institute and his speculation on He Gu's ideas.

Chen Ming completely understood what He Gu meant.

Chen Ming had nothing to say, anyway, he would meet He Gu later, and he could talk to him in detail next time he met him.

Now, he still had to tell Bai Quan about the content of the just-concluded conference.

After Chen Ming became a psychic, his enhanced mental power also gradually enhanced his memory.

Now, he can repeat everything the admiral said at the conference without any of his own understanding.

There is no need to read the script or consider the participants.

Chen Ming spoke in one breath in front of Bai Quan.

He would only pause when Bai Quan signaled.

In less than half an hour, he had spoken out the contents of the meeting that had just ended in almost an hour and a half.

After listening, Bai Quan lowered his head slightly and thought for a while and said, "I roughly understand."

"The content of the meeting is similar to what I thought, just targeting Bei Niu and us at the same time, which is also the reason why I asked He Gu to find you."

Bai Quan expected that the legion would take action against the branch, so he found an opportunity to call Chen Ming over so that he could talk to Chen Ming face to face about some more complicated topics.

"So... what do you want me to do?"

"Well, although the Legion is temporarily protecting the Garo branch, someone will take action. It will not be good for us if the branch suffers."

"But even if you don't say it, I will find a way to protect the branch."

Bai Quan shook his head and said, "Your protection is military protection, but such protection alone is not enough. I need you to help me manage the situation of the branch."

"Isn't Jing Xian here?"

"Not enough. He can't handle so many things. I have to rely on his assistance to manage the entire branch, not to mention him."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I'll teach you some administrative regulations these days. You don't need to have a deep understanding, as long as you know some management strategies."

"Is this enough?"

Bai Quan just said that he and Jing Xian could barely handle the situation of the branch.

Even if Chen Ming and Jing Xian learned administrative knowledge, it might not be useful.

Bai Quan denied again: "Of course not. My idea is that when you go back, don't hold back and use your psychic power to fully control the entire branch."

Chen Ming opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Bai Quan and asked: "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Bai Quan confirmed: "You must know more about your psychic power than I do."

"Even from my perspective, as long as you have a little knowledge of administrative management and have someone who can fully cooperate with you, such as Jing Xian, you can manage the entire branch well."

For Bai Quan, it is definitely better for the branch to be fully controlled by Chen Ming than to be infiltrated by others.

The iron plate he has worked so hard to build must not be taken advantage of by others during his absence.

And there is the most critical point.

Chen Ming's psychic power is there, which is a deterrent to everyone.

"Okay."

This kind of thing is not a loss for Chen Ming, as his relationship with Bai Quan is already there.

He is in the 14th Legion, and he is in the same faction as Bai Quan, and there are various interests involved.

If Baiquan suffers losses, he will definitely suffer losses, and it is impossible for him to watch Baiquan suffer losses.

Baiquan got a satisfactory answer and explained again: "It's not just the branch, you must also pay attention, because someone may come to trouble you."

"It may not be a direct conflict, there is a great possibility of a sinister plot in the dark."

"You may have to hold on until I finish learning new command techniques here, and wait until the troops from the headquarters are transferred to the Galo branch, then I can go back with you."

Chen Ming certainly has no objection to this.

The more Baiquan learns about the command techniques of the mechanical race now, the greater the possibility of surviving on the battlefield.

However, Chen Ming did not understand one thing.

"The legion has a fleet in Beiniu that just went there to control Beiniu."

"He Gu told me that there will be another fleet going to Beiniu in a week."

"And there is a fleet on the nearest front line fighting with Yuhui's main force."

"The legion can actually spare a fleet to fight the mechanical race?"

Bai Quan said as a matter of course, "What do you think? If it weren't for the fact that our army's military strength has exceeded many people's estimates, why did everyone at the conference hint that our army would be divided? This is the military strength of our 14th Army."

"Exaggerated."

Just after Chen Ming's sigh, neither of them continued to speak.

But it was less than two seconds.

"I..."

"That..."

Chen Ming and Bai Quan suddenly spoke at the same time and interrupted each other.

Bai Quan immediately said, "Then you go first."

"Okay,"

Chen Ming sorted out his words a little and said, "I want to sell some of the energy crystal technology of the energy crystal crab."

Chen Ming had thought about it before, and what He Gu said was right.

He was working on energy crystals by himself, and even if Yuhui and the Zerg helped at the same time, he really couldn't meet the needs of all places.

Not to mention supplying energy crystals to the entire empire, he might not be able to provide them in one star zone alone.

Although at present, because the number of energy crystal crabs themselves needs to expand, the number of energy crystals Chen Ming supplies to the 14th Army has not reached the upper limit.

It is impossible that Chen Ming robbed tens of thousands of them from Yuhui, and they were all over the planet in a few months.

But even so, relying solely on the Queen of the current planet and Yuhui who is still in the process of development, the upper limit of the energy crystals that can be provided in a short period of time is just that.

But if the cultivation and development process of energy crystal crabs is sold to the Fourteenth Legion, the situation will be different.

The production of energy crystals can definitely be greatly increased.

And Chen Ming originally relied on the antimatter patent fees, the hyperspace channel jump engine patent fees, and the money earned from selling some energy crystals to maintain a balance between income and expenditure with the fleets outside.

The money that can be earned will definitely be more.

"That's great, how do you plan to sell it?"

"Hmm..."

First of all, the energy crystal worms must not be given away.

Giving away the worms will cause big problems.

Chen Ming can only give the Fourteenth Legion energy crystal crabs.

As for the energy crystal crab...

Although Chen Ming didn't pay much attention to the energy crystal crab after he let the Queen of Insects eat a few energy crystal crabs and cultivated the energy crystal worms made from the energy crystal crab genes.

But fortunately, not all of the energy crystal crabs were eaten.

They are still being cultivated.

Although the energy crystal worms specially made by the Queen of Insects for converting energy crystals have a much better output and quality than the energy crystal crabs.

But the energy crystal crabs are natural creatures after all. After special breeding, they may mutate into some interesting things. Chaofan and the Queen of Insects have left a lot.

Chen Ming can give these energy crystal crabs away.

In addition, Chen Ming also plans to let the Queen of Insects use her ability to control genes to transform some energy crystal worms into the appearance of energy crystal crabs.

Relying on his psychic power and the Queen of Insects' ability, it is very simple to modify genes so that people can't see it.

This can also explain in disguise why the goods Chen Ming sold to the Fourteenth Legion during this period are of different quality from the energy crystal crabs Chen Ming gave.

"I can directly give the seeds I have cultivated here to the Legion, but I don't know if the Legion can cultivate them in large quantities."

"Absolutely."

Bai Quan said: "The limitation on the development of energy crystal crabs by the Legion is the number."

"You gave me two adult energy crystal crabs and two eggs before, a total of four energy crystal crabs that can't do anything. It's okay to raise them as ornamental pets, but it's a fantasy to cultivate them with four."

"But if you are willing to help, we are sure to shorten the breeding time significantly by stimulating various growth hormones, so you don't have to worry about this."

"How many people will it take? Quantity?"

Bai Quan thought of a rough number: "At least 100,000, with this number we can start, and the more we can provide later, the better."

"No problem, I will send the Colossus to the branch when the time comes. The headquarters is a bit far away."

"Then Jing Xian is responsible for this. You can talk to him when the time comes. I will help you to open up the relationship and you won't lose your share."

Chen Ming nodded and reached a verbal agreement with Bai Quan: "Okay, then I'm done. What did you want to say just now?"

Bai Quan's face suddenly blushed.

He planned to shamelessly explain Cheng Xinghai's affairs.

This matter can't be delayed any further. If it is delayed this time.

It may take a few months for him and Chen Ming to talk about this kind of thing when they meet.

By that time, the war with the mechanical race may have started, and he definitely won't have time to talk to Chen Ming about these romantic matters.

So he must take advantage of now to make things clear.

Bai Quan coughed dryly and said, "Um... How have you been doing in learning conducting recently? Do you have any questions?"

Chen Ming immediately understood what Bai Quan meant.

He actually felt that the time was almost up and he couldn't delay any longer.

Bai Quan has been talking about this for a long time, and has given plenty of hints in all aspects.

He must at least give Bai Quan, no, give Cheng Xinghai an answer.

Chen Ming thought so, and subconsciously recalled the time he had spent with Cheng Xinghai recently.

In his impression, there was a sense of comfort when getting along with Cheng Xinghai.

Cheng Xinghai's personality was not like that of an ordinary 19-year-old girl. How could a girl in the army be like an ordinary girl? But she was not too strong and overbearing.

Her personality was very delicate, or in other words, she would show different performances according to different situations.

Chen Ming had this feeling when he first came into contact with Cheng Xinghai in the simulation.

At that time, he was still thinking whether everything Cheng Xinghai showed when he was with him was deliberately shown and was false.

But later Cheng Xinghai changed his mind, and she showed her truest side.

That was when they talked about games.

Cheng Xinghai would talk to Chen Ming about many things in the game in his spare time.

If it was one or two days, Chen Ming might still be suspicious.

But if Cheng Xinghai talked about it every day, even when Chen Ming was not too interested in or knowledgeable about the game for various reasons, she would still keep talking to Chen Ming and keep trying to sell him the game she often played.

And even if Chen Ming really took the time to play it, and didn't know anything about the game for the first time, and Cheng Xinghai was so angry that she blushed, she would still try her best to explain it to Chen Ming.

This feeling is definitely not something that can be faked.

The excitement of being absolutely interested in the game, and the performance of investing most of your free time in it, can't be faked.

That kind of close feeling, the real feeling, is something Chen Ming has never experienced and will never forget.

Of course, later she and Chen Ming got more and more familiar with each other, and she didn't mind directly saying a few words to Chen Ming when he performed the pig nose operation.

But this did not affect Chen Ming's deep love for this feeling.

In addition, when Cheng Xinghai taught him, he didn't teach Chen Ming all the knowledge like Baiquan, but the lesson plan was obviously made after careful consideration.

Although Cheng Xinghai recently found that Chen Ming's learning efficiency was a bit abnormal, he also felt closer to Bai Quan.

But it was difficult for Chen Ming to give up this feeling.

Although he was indifferent to some things and didn't care whether he did it or not.

But if you get used to some things but lose them, it will really make people feel empty.

Cheng Xinghai, a girl he knows a little bit, is a very good choice.

Chen Ming has made a decision in his heart.

But there is a problem.

"What does Cheng Xinghai think?"

Bai Quan seemed to see a little hope and said, "She agreed a long time ago and asked me about your attitude about a month ago."

"I was embarrassed to ask you directly, so I found an excuse to let her teach you something and let her confirm it herself."

"Didn't she ask?"

Chen Ming recalled the past again: "Maybe there was a hint, but I wasn't sure of my thoughts before."

"But now... I... can."

Bai Quan paused when he looked at Chen Ming, stood up immediately, and patted Chen Ming's shoulder very intimately.

"Okay, okay."

His face was full of smiles: "Then let's pick a suitable day for you and Xinghai to get married."

"Ahem..."

Chen Ming coughed and interrupted Bai Quan and said: "Wait, isn't this a bit too fast? Xinghai is only 19 years old, right?"

"But you are 26."

"It's not too late for me to be 26."

"She is already one year older than the legal age for marriage at 19."

Bai Quan sat next to Chen Ming again and said to Chen Ming: "You and Xinghai are in very special situations. It is impossible for you to slowly cultivate feelings before talking about marriage."

"It's a bit early to get married, but we can have an engagement party first, right?"

Bai Quan was telling the truth.

Chen Ming is now a level 5 psychic. It's impossible for him to find someone to talk slowly.

Cheng Xinghai's situation was even more difficult than his. After all, Chen Ming had the ability to decide his future, while Cheng Xinghai, the adopted daughter of a lieutenant general, was also a psychic, but her ability was obviously far from Chen Ming's level.

She really didn't have many choices.

Chen Ming's previous hesitation actually had a hint of not wanting to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

But in getting along with Cheng Xinghai, Chen Ming confirmed that Cheng Xinghai did not particularly dislike him.

And now he has also confirmed Cheng Xinghai's attitude through Bai Quan, so Chen Ming has no suitable reason to resist.

He doesn't need a suitable reason, he can just accept such a result.

"Engagement banquet... this is fine."

"Okay."

Bai Quan stood up again excitedly.

"It will definitely not be done within a week, so you may not be able to keep up with the opening of the star gate by then, I have to tell you this first."

"It's okay, I can drive a cruiser all the way back, it will only take a few days at most."

"Did you drive a cruiser here?"

"No, but I can drive a cruiser."

"Okay."

Bai Quan is no longer surprised by the effects of Chen Ming's psychic power.

"Where do you plan to live first? Live in my dormitory, or live somewhere else."

"That's fine." Chen Ming just saw that there are two empty rooms in Bai Quan's dormitory: "I don't have high requirements for the conditions of the place where I live."

Bai Quan's dormitory has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms, and it is also a dormitory at the headquarters military base. The conditions are very good.

"Okay, then I'll contact Xinghai and tell him about this?"

"Wait."

Chen Ming quickly stopped him and said, "Let me go see her."

Bai Quan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was a little too excited.

It is indeed the most appropriate to let Chen Ming meet Cheng Xinghai in person.

"She is at school, and should be in the library at this time. I heard my wife complain to her two days ago that the task I gave her to teach you made her go to the library every day and she had no time to play games."

"Does this make her feel uncomfortable?"

"If she really hates it and doesn't want to do it, will she waste her time playing games to go to the library? Just teach you according to the lesson plan I gave you before, but there is no need to do it yourself..."

"...I know."

Chen Ming nodded to Bai Quan, got up, and left the dormitory.

And just after Chen Ming left, Bai Quan immediately took out the terminal.

In the address book, he found the communication code marked with the word "wife" and called it: "Do you have good news to hear?"

At this time, Chen Ming, who was going out, was already standing outside the dormitory building. The metal liquid was entrenched in his palm, gradually building the shuttle structure.

And the style of this shuttle was the same as the one He Gu drove before.

Although Chen Ming doesn't care about many things, he only cares about food, after all, he was afraid of being hungry before.

But other people don't care about what he eats, but what he wears, uses, and drives.

He still has to be a little careful when meeting people.

He promised Baiquan and is willing to take some responsibility.

So when doing things, we should consider the attitude he should have after he promised.

Chen Ming had checked it before.

The shuttle of the Psychic Research Institute is a type of shuttle that is sold publicly by the Tachyon Technology Company and is specially supplied by the military.

The value of one such shuttle is about the same as two ordinary guards.

It can only be said that the shuttle of the Psychic Research Institute is so luxurious.

At least such a shuttle will not lose its status when it goes out.

As for the clothes on his body...

Chen Ming looked down at himself, wearing a fairly neat white coat.

It's okay to wear it in the institute, but it's not suitable to wear this kind of clothes in other places.

It's better to go to the city to buy a set first.

Wait, Chen Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to have neither the shuttle license nor the shuttle driver's license...

It's not a big problem, just wait until he is caught.

At this time, Bai Quan suddenly poked his head out of the dormitory window: "I almost forgot to give you something."

Chen Ming immediately looked up and asked: "What is it?"

However, Bai Quan suddenly fell silent, his eyes locked on the shuttle that appeared inexplicably next to him.

He immediately took back the shuttle key that he was about to throw to Chen Ming, and swallowed the words he was about to tell Chen Ming where his shuttle was.

"It's okay, you change the license plate to mine."

"Then take this..."

Bai Quan turned his head, took out his driver's license, and threw it to Chen Ming.

After Chen Ming took the things, he boarded the shuttle and left the military base.

Although the colony of this planet is the headquarters of the 14th Corps, there are still many family members or staff living there.

Therefore, the supporting infrastructure must be there.

So Chen Ming changed into a set of clothes worth about 500,000 yuan in a shopping mall in the city, and also took extra care of himself.

Then he went to the military university directly under the city.

With the license plate of Baiquan, he landed safely in the parking lot of the school.

The landing of the shuttle driven by Chen Ming attracted the attention of many students.

Those who can study in the university of the headquarters are basically qualified to know the Psychic Research Institute, and of course they also know the value of the standard spacecraft of the Psychic Research Institute.

Although this shuttle is not marked with the logo of the institute, it is enough to attract people's attention.

Of course, Chen Ming ran very fast, and not many people noticed his whereabouts.

Following the map, he quickly found the library.

The first thing Chen Ming saw when he entered the library was Cheng Xinghai, who was sitting by the window. His eyes, slightly obscured by his short hair, were full of concentration. .

She was flipping through many textbooks at this time, just as she had complained before. If she wanted to teach Chen Ming, she would have to pick up a lot of previous knowledge again and thoroughly integrate it.

She kept flipping through the books and taking notes, not noticing that Chen Ming was looking at her.

Chen Ming walked over slowly and sat down in front of Cheng Xinghai.

Cheng Xinghai, who had been immersed in the book, only noticed that there was a person sitting in front of her at this time. She raised her head and was about to get up and change her seat to avoid being disturbed.

She saw Chen Ming's face.

They looked at each other in silence.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Chen Ming finally spoke: "Well... Bai Quan told me basically everything."

Cheng Xinghai pursed his lips, silently packed up the books and notes in front of him, and whispered: "Let's talk inside."

The school was busy at this time, and Cheng Xinghai's seat was close to the window, which was indeed easy to be seen.

So Chen Ming had no objection and followed Cheng Xinghai into the depths of the library.

After walking to the corner of the library.

Cheng Xinghai stopped.

Turned to look at Chen Ming.

Cheng Xinghai was very smart, and her psychic ability made her smarter than her peers.

But she was only 19 years old after all, and she was in school now, not on the battlefield.

Such an environment allowed her to reveal her true inner side.

She clasped her hands behind her back, her slender fingers moving restlessly, and she opened her lips slightly to Chen Ming cautiously and nervously: "Then...what's your attitude?"

Chen Ming answered without a moment's hesitation: "I'm here."

Chen Ming was not referring to the headquarters, but Cheng Xinghai's school, in front of her.

If you agree, then be decisive.

Cheng Xinghai found that her face was slightly hot, and Chen Ming's attitude was already in front of her.

But Chen Ming suddenly tilted his head slightly to the side.

Cheng Xinghai immediately realized that Chen Ming's attention was not on her, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Chen Ming shook his head.

Although Cheng Xinghai took him to the corner of the library, there were still people in the corner of the library.

In the direction where Chen Ming just looked, there was a person who was paying attention to the two of them, with shock in his eyes.

He should know Cheng Xinghai, and he didn't expect Cheng Xinghai to show this expression in front of him.

Chen Ming didn't pay much attention to the man and looked at Cheng Xinghai again.

"Do you want to go out for a meal? It's noon now."

"Okay."
