"Don't worry about it, Miss Hongyu." Gu Chen comforted with a wry smile.
After all, the Thunder Sword Master Feiyan himself is stationed in Gewufang, and based on the friendship between Gu Chen and Zuo An, if he wants to see the Water Sword Master or the titled Martial Envoy, he can help arrange it. But when Gu Chen brings it up like this
At this time, he was stared at inexplicably by the female flame envoy.
"Wha, what?"
"That's the name!" Hongyu pointed at the master, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Miss Hongyu is too unfamiliar. Do you also add 'girl' when you call Feiyan? No? So just call me
It's fine if I'm 'Red Fish'. On the other hand, I'll also call you Gu Chen. Is that okay?"
The female flame user clasped her hands in front of her chest and threw out the proposal with a momentum that could not be refused. As for Gu Chen, there was no reason to refuse. Although she was completely different from the female swordsman, the female flame user was also
It would be great to be able to get closer to a woman that Gu Chen admired and trusted.
"I understand. In that case, please take good care of me in the future, Hong... Red Fish."
Gu Chen nodded with a wry smile, picked up the stew and took a few sips. Then he suddenly patted his head as if remembering something, picked up the Yan Wa staff and handed it to the female flame envoy. "Try it first, and I'll tell you if there's anything wrong."
Adjustment."
"What? It's been maintained?"
Red Fish, who looked surprised, took the staff and looked at it in his hand.
The Yanwa Staff is a top-notch spiritual weapon. Gu Chen spent more time on it than the return shield and the Howling Wind Gun combined, and the effect is quite good. Although the red fish cannot directly see the wisps of spiritual energy wrapped around the staff.
, but after all, the Yanwa Staff is also a spiritual weapon that is half of her body, and she can notice its changes as soon as she takes it.
"This is!?"
The staff is the equipment used by military envoys to perform Sanskrit magic. It is divided into fire, cold, wind and rock in terms of type. In terms of specifications, it can be divided into pen staff, cane and long staff. For example, Zuo Wenjun's magic staff
The staff is a wind staff, while Red Fish's staff is a fire staff.
However, although the Yanwa Staff is considered a cane in terms of specifications, its output power has reached the realm of a long staff. Its ultra-high conversion rate can turn the red fish's own abundant energy into a terrifying and destructive power at the strategic level, making it a
Guo Bei's group is a well-deserved firepower fort.
However, although the Yanwa Staff is such an exceptional spiritual weapon, it also has the disadvantage that it must be maintained regularly, otherwise its power will decline sharply. Before being handed over to Gu Chen for maintenance, the Yanwa Staff had actually entered a period of decline.
The flow of power is severely sluggish, and casting the same Brahma method consumes 20 to 30% more energy than before. This greatly weakens the female flame envoy's continuous combat power, and the sluggish feel really makes Red Fish feel frustrated.
When Lingwu enters the decline stage, it means that it is approaching the destruction stage. And once Lingwu falls into the destruction stage, it also means that it is not unusual to be destroyed at any time. For the female Yan who uses the Yanwa staff as a half-body
For the envoy, this is absolutely an unacceptable situation, so every time Red Fish goes to the battlefield, he is always trembling with fear, for fear of using too much force and causing Yan Wa's staff to step across the invisible boundary.
But at this moment, that time of fear and panic has become a thing of the past.
On Gu Chen's re-maintained Yanwa staff, the annoying sluggishness has long since disappeared, and the accumulated energy flows unimpeded. The staff's spirit and its own accumulated energy are in harmony, and the spiritual energy in the Qi channels surges like a swimming fish.
It's leaping and full of vitality from beginning to end.
The indescribable feeling of comfort made the red fish couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"How's it going? Do you need to adjust?"
Gu Chen looked over worriedly, still holding a steaming soup bowl in his hand. Looking at the putty on that gentle man's cheek, Hongyu couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and when he came back to his senses, he had already leaned over to kiss that man's cheek.
.
"Huh?"
The unexpected action stunned both of them.
Facing the blank gaze cast by the man, the female flame envoy's reaction could not be called calm.
"This, this is a thank you gift for taking care of Yan Wa."
"Thank you for taking care of me..."
Gu Chen touched his cheek blankly, while Hongyu emphasized with a shrug as if he was remembering.
"Is it the only one? Thank you very much, girl."
The only thing I thought about was that even if there were other people helping to maintain the Yanwa staff, they wouldn't get such treatment? Gu Chen's left half of his brain quickly analyzed the meaning of Hongyu's words, while his right half of his brain was overwhelmed by the sudden increase in emotional load.
The paralysis took the opportunity. Under the stunned gaze of the master, the female flame envoy's face quickly turned as red as her hair.
"I, I'll ask them to come get the equipment."
After saying these words, the female flame envoy ran out of the utility room as if she was running away.
Gu Chen, who was left behind, continued to watch his disappearing back, and after a long while, he moved his eyes to the soup bowl in his hand. Gu Chen pursed his lips tightly, wanting to laugh but not being funny, and then stood up irritably, looking at the sundries.
After spinning around in the room. After continuously kicking over three furnishings in the clutter room, Gu Chen finally decided to give up the idea of continuing to work and go outside for a walk.
……………………
After all, Gu Chen is also a member of society who has entered the workplace, so of course he has not even been in love.
But now that I think about it, it's hard to say whether it was love or not.
The girl was introduced by a friend. Although I didn't feel particularly attractive at the time, I couldn't say there was anything wrong with it. I just felt that as a man, I should at least show sincerity, so I followed my ideas and went out with the girl. From movie dates to dinner parties.
, from birthday gifts to holiday outings, Gu Chen tried his best to do things that he had never done before, but generally nothing went wrong.
Although I don’t want to get anything in particular in return, I have worked so hard, but the other party accepts it as a matter of course. I can hardly hear any words of gratitude and satisfaction, and from time to time, I will compare myself to other promising men. Every time
Gu Chen smiled bitterly and endured it, but the heat in his heart was gradually fading.
Finally, on the day when he was frustrated, Gu Chen proposed to break up.
The other party's face was full of astonishment, as if he didn't know what went wrong, which made him even more speechless.
After that, it took Gu Chen a long time to get over the emotional aftermath. The only revelation he had from this experience of not knowing whether it was love or not was that too many of his talent points were originally allocated to machinery.
In terms of science and engineering, he is completely incompetent in how to please girls.
Of course, intellectually speaking, Gu Chen also knew that girls have very different personalities, and the one he met was not typical. But emotionally, it was difficult to get excited no matter what.
On the earth side, Gu Chen deliberately kept a distance from the girls, no matter in the workplace or socializing. Especially after receiving the comments from the otaku, the girls even faded out of his life. This situation continued until he traveled to Chenghuang.
After traveling through Chenghuang, the situation changed suddenly. In order to gain a foothold, Gu Chen had to interact frequently with the people around him. From a calculating female business owner to a loyal female swordsman, from a talented and beautiful female secretary to an ambitious female secretary.
In the process, Gu Chen got to know many strange women, but there was only one girl who directly showed his affection like the female flame envoy.
That naked enthusiasm made Gu Chen cringe instinctively, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
