The puppets' stage play

Chapter 144 Equipment, Potions

Captain Lu's figure disappeared into the light.

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and took a few steps forward. The scene in front of him suddenly appeared.

Several artificial light balls floated high in the sky, and humanoids with exposed metal structures were wandering below. They were running around with something in their hands. It was a busy scene, with two or three people in white coats pointing from time to time.

"Although it is called a 500-member council, in order to prevent some special circumstances, it will not actually be full. People will tacitly agree to keep it at around 470 people, and the three major colleges will share the seats equally."

"We have two cities here, with a total of 140 nominal quotas. Saint Luther has 160, and Betfa has 150. If we allocate two cities, we will have 70 people each."

Captain Lu stood next to Qi Xiu and spoke in a calm voice. He turned around and paused for a moment in his tone.

"Perhaps you have noticed two facts. One is that we have the smallest share, and the other is that even if the full share is included, there are only 450 people. This is actually an inevitable result."

Qi Xiu looked at the busy scene in front of him and listened to what Captain Lu said.

"The existence of sober people means safety everywhere. No one will be willing to let go. Setting a quota of 450 people is actually acquiescing to a certain degree of fluctuation in the quotas of each company, but each other will fix the number at 470 people, unless there are special circumstances. ....."

"Usually you won't encounter this." Captain Lu shook his head. "It's usually only when facing a world-destroying disaster that the staff will be fully loaded. If necessary, the information blockade on human society will be lifted."

"Let's not mention it for now. In fact, it is very rare for ordinary people to meet each other in their lifetime. Let's go back to the rules of quota allocation."

Qi Xiu nodded and saw an old man in a white coat not far ahead who noticed the situation and was walking towards him. Captain Lu waved to him without interrupting his words.

"Every three years, the three major colleges will send out third-year leaders to take their outstanding freshmen to each other's territory to conduct a competition among the three colleges. The results will determine the number of quotas."

"Last time we lost a small game against St. Luther and ranked third. This year it is our home court. You will also be involved when the time comes. This involves our vital interests..."

"Dr. Li, I've been waiting for a long time." Captain Lu nodded gently to the old man in white coat who was listening beside him, with a respectful tone.

"Where, where, you are the real fighters." Dr. Li waved his hands, his face full of solemnity. "Unlike me, I am timid and cowardly. I dare not go to the battlefield, so I can only fight for you."

Dr. Li's face was a little sad, and his eyes were full of shame.

"Everyone has their own responsibilities. Dr. Li, you have done a great job. Just do what you are good at. The best choice is for everyone to perform their duties."

Captain Lu stood there to comfort the frustrated opponent. Although he made no other actions, his sincerity could be seen from his words.

"It's so rare..." Dr. Li looked at Captain Lu deeply, with an intriguing meaning in his eyes.

"You don't need to look at me like this. I'm just following my past 'experience'. You have to understand that I'm just an inferior product." Captain Lu's words were not passionate. Although he was belittling himself, he was not too moved.

Dr. Li sighed, his energy was shaken, and he looked at Qi Xiu next to him with doubts in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

"He is a newly awakened person. I am here to take him to get the equipment." Captain Lu took a step forward and told Dr. Li.

"That's it," Dr. Li said to himself, looking at Qi Xiu with full reverence and admiration. He didn't say much and turned towards the other two people in white coats who noticed the situation here.

"Lao Yu, Bol, our heroic reserve is here, and I give him my highest blessings."

The eyes of the two white coats moved, and the three of them stood together, their heads bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your hard work!!!”

Captain Lu accepted it calmly. Qi Xiu frowned, feeling that the others were confused. Aren't they here to receive equipment? What's the point of doing this? It's a waste of time.

Qi Xiu's eyes moved, and Captain Lu put his arm around his shoulders. Although he was still wearing a mask, he seemed to be able to see his serious expression.

"Dude, remember this scene now, and then follow your inner voice to make a choice. Before that step, you can still think about it, but you can't after that."

"You will eventually grow into a big tree that supports the sky. Although Dean Kang didn't mention it, I can see that he has high expectations for you. Don't live up to his expectations. The future needs to be opened up by you."

Captain Lu put down his hand and walked towards the three people who straightened up. Their faces were full of solemn expressions.

Qi Xiu stood there and sighed in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't understand the other party's intentions, but for him, this world was just a temporary stop for him, and it wasn't worth paying too much for him.

He suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart and walked towards Captain Lu who was waving.

"Let's go over there. There are the latest 'Reagent No. 8' and 'Type 9 Equipment' there." Captain Lu said goodbye to Dr. Li, walked to the left corner, and disappeared inside.

Qi Xiu quickly caught up. There was a long corridor inside. The road seemed a little quiet. Instead of red light flashing on the walls on both sides, he could feel a subtle light flashing around the two of them.

"That's a security system, used to confirm the identity of the visitor. There are more than 20 places on this road openly, and there are even more secretly. Even I am not too clear about it."

Captain Lu looked at Qi Xiu looking around, and then explained calmly.

Qi Xiu nodded, and silence fell between the two of them again, and they walked quietly.

The three people behind them watched the two figures disappear, with a little melancholy on their faces.

"Speaking of which, my son also joined at this age," Old Yu said suddenly, with some pride on his face.

"Yeah, I know." Dr. Li was stunned and could only respond.

"Go meet him another day and talk to him." Boer blinked his blue eyes and patted Lao Yu's shoulder comfortingly.

"I really... really... miss him..." Lao Yu had tears in his eyes and smiled a little ugly.

Dr. Li opened his mouth, and his eyes flashed with sadness. Who knew that his grandson had received news not long ago, and his sons asked him to go home. He knew very well what had happened, and he had been escaping from his recent obsession with research. look.

"Let's... go together." He took Lao Yu's hand and forced a smile on his face.

The other two people were startled and looked at Dr. Li blankly.

After a while, two replies came.

"Um"

"Um"

Captain Lu led Qi Xiu all the way until they arrived at a room at the end. The door was completely flat, with no button to open the door. Only faint traces around it indicated that it was a door.

He half-lifted his mask and aimed his eyes at the door. His eyes illuminated the door with white light, and the door slowly opened.

Captain Lu closed his mask and turned to face Qi Xiu.

"I forgot to mention it. In fact, I am not a real person, just an experimental product, so you don't need to pay too much attention to me. You are different from me and have a bright future."

"I am destined to be a subordinate. If you become a senior executive in the future, I will also take orders from you."

"So please don't believe me, I'm just a puppet at the mercy of others."

Qi Xiu's eyes were a little solemn. Maybe the other person didn't know that his ability had been relaxed, but he saw his true face.

That is......

Captain Lu stepped through the door, and Qi Xiu followed closely behind him, full of thoughts.

The interior also looks like a regular laboratory, but the things are slightly different. There are various test tubes on the shelf on the left, with labels on them.

From top to bottom.

No. 8 trial-developed enhancer, the latest model, has a larger enhancement range. If you feel uncomfortable, please find a specialist to deal with it.

The No. 7 perfectly applicable reagent is theoretically suitable for everyone. The formula has become perfect and there is no room for improvement.

Mutant reagent No. 7 suddenly appeared during the experiment. It is a derivative of the perfect reagent. There are two modes of strengthening the human body. One is to increase physical strength, and the other is to focus on brain nerves. The two are incompatible.

The above three are numerous and obviously receive more attention, while the following are not.

No. 6, No. 5, and No. 4 are all these reagents, and they all say, "Waiting for processing."

Captain Lu reached out and opened the door that looked like a refrigerator on one side. The mist drifted out. Qi Xiu looked around and saw that some of the same equipment as Captain Lu's was inside was also labeled.

Type 9, Type 8... they abound.

Captain Lu was picking through the shelves and walked towards Qi Xiu holding a silver wrist wheel.

"Although the hanging bead on your chest can also be used to receive messages, I don't recommend it. Here, here is a wrist wheel specially made by the academy. It is strong and stable. You can even use it to attack the enemy."

"If it breaks, just complain and let them replace it with a brand new one until it stops breaking." Captain Lu's words contained ridicule to some people.

Qi Xiu took it and put it away, let out a breath, walked to the reagent side, and took away the No. 8 reagent on the top.

"You have to think carefully. Although the reagent is the latest and has the largest increase, it may not be as stable as No. 7. You can also choose other models of No. 7..."

"What model are you using?" Qi Xiu interrupted the other party's persuasion and asked him coldly.

"Of course it's the latest model, No. 8"

Captain Lu paused, fell silent, and answered the other party's question honestly.

"Then what are you asking me to do? I don't want to lose to others, so I naturally want to be the strongest!" Qi Xiu snorted, directly put the No. 8 reagent on the table, used the syringe on the side to drain it, and stretched out his arm. , hit it on top, and injected it all.
