When she came to her senses, Ling had accepted Maria Bell's invitation to attend the winter social banquet she held regularly with the theme of new product launches.
A dinner party held every quarter in Crossbell is hosted by the Coroys family, the richest man in mainland China. Those who receive invitations are all nobles who are mixed in the upper class. Of course, there are also many familiar faces of Ling.
exist.
It's not the kind of tea party where you sew your own puppets and sometimes bring black tea and snacks, but an atmosphere closer to business negotiations. After all, it was only after Dita became the richest man in mainland China that he started doing this kind of show of his financial strength.
The show-off-wealth-style social gathering was hosted by him personally for the past nine years. It was only from this year that it was changed to be hosted by Maria Bell. This is why Ling did not attend last year’s autumn dinner but came to attend the beginning of this year.
Reasons for a winter dinner.
Maria Bell, who was born in 1184 of the Qiyao Calendar, is about to turn twenty this year. Twenty-year-old is a very important time for the Samlian people. Although according to the conventions of the Samlian continent, in
You can also work or even get married and start a family before the age of 20, but you will only be treated as an "adult" after the age of 20. This includes the right to vote and the right to vote. I will not list them one by one. Bell, who is about to turn 20,
In all aspects, it can be regarded as a natural person with complete rights, which is naturally very different from the previous right to speak.
Although in fact she has actively participated in the operation of ibc many years ago, including serving as the project leader in the development of Mithulam Resort two years ago, serving as the chief designer of the Orchid Tower and the main sports venue of the sports area, etc.
, but for a long time everyone has known her as "the daughter of the richest man in mainland China" rather than as a concrete and vivid character like "Maria Belcorois".
Dita's resignation of the host of this banquet is naturally reminiscent of the inheritance method of another giant company in neighboring countries. Five years ago, the daughter of the previous president of the Lineforte Group took over.
position of president. In addition, Dita himself did not deny the matter, but announced at the press conference that he would participate in the mayoral election held in May this year, and has stated that he does not intend to continue to be re-elected as Mayor McDowell.
Therefore, in the eyes of wealthy businessmen and capitalists, it is a certainty that the blond lady will become "President Maria Bell".
Ling Astre was born in the Erebonian Empire of Sasarant. The forged date of birth recorded in her passport and temporary residence permit was March 1185, and her current age is tentatively estimated to be 18 years old (10 months old).
Violet's straight hair reaches to her knees, and she wears no makeup at all.
With her short height for her age of 152 and her childlike appearance, it is not surprising that she is regarded as a Sunday school student, but sometimes she is even mistaken for a child in the lower grades, which is really hard to explain.
.Because she has been disguising her identity for many years, she has almost forgotten her true age. In fact, considering that she has memories of past lives, her mental age is probably much older than her actual age.
However, considering that among the students she taught was Tova, a real eighteen-year-old Tova who was shorter than her, her psychology became much more balanced.
Although it was a gathering of wealthy people, there were also teenagers and girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, as well as cute children under ten years old who were even younger than Ling on the outside. They were the family members of capitalists or political figures.
For those younger children, it is a place where they can make friends with the same stance.
This is a matter of course.
"I'm going to please that person today too."
It seems that I heard them saying this, presumably some rich uncle would give them as pocket money. Although they are still young, it is already quite realistic, right?
Well, Ling is not qualified to say that to others.
Ling walked slowly around the banquet venue with the purpose of enjoying the buffet with dishes from all over the mainland. Occasionally, when she met an acquaintance, she would wave her hand slightly to indicate that they would not pay attention to her. Although a famous pianist was invited to play music, she still
It couldn't cover up the noisy atmosphere in the venue.
Fortunately, Maria Bell, who was shaking hands with people one after another on the podium, was able to chat and laugh with a group of aunts wearing gorgeous dresses that were inappropriate for her age. Based on her character, she should hate this kind of atmosphere.
Her endurance and acting skills are also great.
If it were Ling herself...
Thinking about it, she put down the half-eaten plate, handed the tableware to the waiter, and left the gorgeous banquet venue. The corridor was completely different from the room. It was very quiet and empty, making the space feel very comfortable.
"What happened to me?"
Ling whispered to herself, in fact, nothing happened, she just wanted to be alone.
Walking slowly along the corridor, it actually feels good to let the small-sized Mary Jane shoes sink into the long hair of the carpet.
Stretch out your hand to re-confirm the parameters on your wrist. The integrated small gravity control device has four accessories in total. It is made into small bracelets and anklets and is installed on the limbs. The data shown above is 250g, and
The values in the underground gravity chamber of Rozenbelk's workshop are the same. She has maintained this intensity for a long time. Since Ling's body reached its limit last year, she has been unable to continue to increase the intensity. If you look deeper, there is still potential in the blood vessels and internal organs that can be tapped, but
Muscles and bones, which seemed to be "tough" parts, could no longer withstand higher challenges, so she could only do what she could and call it a day.
With its mass of slightly over 40kg, it will cause a pressure of 99999n on the ground at 250g. If it were replaced by steel of equal weight, the ordinary building floor would definitely collapse because it could not bear the load.
The reason why that kind of thing has not happened in recent times is due to her unremitting study of footwork. She is not down to earth, but maintains a "standing posture" less than 1mm above the ground. So I don't know the inside story.
People who see Ling will feel that she is standing firmly on the ground.
A simplified version of the moon step that is transformed into a body reflex, a version that does not seek to walk in the air but is only used to fight against self-respect. Because someone has specially practiced this, it is certainly not difficult to walk on the snow without leaving a trace or cross the river with a reed. It can be done on a whim.
Sometimes she would go for a walk on Lake Arum when it was foggy. She was very proud of being able to use martial arts to achieve effects that could only be achieved by certain spells.
Or according to what the Tai Dou-ryu say, it would be better to call this "Qing Gong"?
Although the benchmark is not the Shuchi of the Master Style, but the Pom Kung Fu from the Angel Sheep Bobo, the research that took more than a year has been somewhat effective, and it can be considered something that makes her quite happy recently.
"You really work hard, don't you forget to practice seriously even at this time? It's not an exaggeration to say that you are a martial arts fanatic."
The voice of a girl with blond curly hair came from the front of the corridor, making Ling a little confused.
"Bell? Aren't you supposed to be at the venue?"
"Even you, the head of Rozenbelk's workshop, didn't see any flaws. It seems that my skills are pretty good."
Maria Bell snapped her fingers, and exquisite floating windows appeared around her. Seeing the schematic diagram displayed inside, Ling quickly realized that the handshake machine in the venue was a proportional machine disguised with multiple spells.
Large doll.
"The original shape of that material is Scorpio...where did you get it?"
"I finally found this treasure from the black market auction in Kalvad. You made such an amazing doll and didn't even tell me. Ling, you are so mean."
"..." Ling was speechless in response to Bell's rhetorical question. Originally, she didn't want the twelve constellations series to be packaged and collected by Maria Bell, a fanatical doll controller, so she deliberately entrusted them to foreign agents.
.Unexpectedly, one of them fell into her clutches.
However, Bell wasn't really angry about this. Considering their friendship, this was just a minor and innocuous matter.
"Did you really not notice it at all? Were you also involved in the development of the artificial intelligence program in the service department?" Bell asked casually.
"I only provided a theoretical map. You don't know as much about the application level as you do, Bell. But speaking of which, this is an important first time to host, right? Isn't it too rude to the people attending the meeting to let the robot doll act as the agent?
?”
"This level of entertainment is no problem. Dolls can't make mistakes, and are often more reliable than real humans. You should be clear about this."
"Okay, okay, that's all. Anyway, I'm just here to cheer you up."
Ling accepted Bell's invitation and walked into the president's office on the 16th floor of IBC. The tea prepared by Bell was all special grade that could not be bought in the market. Coupled with Ling's craftsmanship, the black tea brewed was no less than that of the royal family.
Excellent product.
After the tea party began, the two first chatted about their respective academic progress. Ling's first paper this year, "Research on Wireless Guided Force Conduction", has completed the empirical investigation, and only the coding report part is missing, while Maria Bell's "
"Nonlinear Space-Time and Universal Curvature" is still calculating the parameters of the third-order phase. Even with the Star Clock in hand, Bell encountered many difficulties in the research. Although Ling feels that even if this kind of paper is published, humans will not be able to do it in a short time.
It is impossible to study the means of transportation to heaven or purgatory, but purely from the perspective of a researcher, this is indeed a very interesting direction.
After exchanging each other's latest progress, the two parties chatted about recent current events.
They talked about the large-scale brawls in the old city, and also mentioned the recent excessive pollution emissions from factories in the storage area. To Ling, these were trivial matters that were of no interest. Unexpectedly, Bell was very concerned.
Of.
"Finally, let's talk about the key points. Regarding the time for Miko's awakening, I plan to set it in April this year. In these three months, I will prepare all the necessary conditions. I heard that the final form of the oz series, Black Rabbit Altina Orion
Now that she is your subordinate, can you let her come to Crossbell in March?"
Maria Bell put down her tea cup and announced her decision to Ling with a serious face.
"So fast? The progress of the Orchid Tower is still too early to be completed, right? With our current preparations, we can only wake up, but we are still far from the real 'awakening'."
According to the scheduled construction period, the Orchid Tower will not be topped out until 1206 in the Qiyao Calendar.
"The Bi-Zero plan can be slowed down for a while. Anyway, it is the millennium long-cherished wish of our Kurois family and we are not in a hurry. In fact, it is your Body-Eating Snake's Phantom Flame Plan that is more urgent. The Wise you introduced to me
Professor Mann proposed to me about borrowing the Moon Clock from my family. But considering that he is from 'that workshop', to be honest, I can't trust him."
Of course Ling knew that the Black Workshop and the Kurois family had secretly stolen technology from each other for thousands of years, but she didn't think of it for a while. Now that Bell talked about it, she realized that she
omissions.
"You mean that the use of the clock cannot be left to him..."
"Although I heard some bad comments about him from the fortune teller lady in Mithulam, I have no objection to his personality. It's just because of my position that I can't let go. After meeting you guys
Before becoming the leader of the alliance, I will not consider joining your association for the time being. Because Ling, you are always unmotivated, so I plan to hand over the loaned clock to that child to manage it."
"Hey, Bell, are you kidding me? We don't know what state our Sleeping Beauty will be in when she wakes up. Where did you get the confidence from!?"
"That's why I need Black Rabbit's personality map analysis. In fact, when our Kurois family made the androids, we left some backdoors to control them. Although we don't plan to use that at the moment, you can think of it as
It is my source of confidence. Therefore, to me, that child is a reliable person who will never betray."
"Bell, you are really..."
If Maria Bell hadn't told her, Ling probably wouldn't have remembered that the androids had backdoors. As for whether the backdoor vulnerability was transplanted to the oz series intact when Black Workshop stole the manufacturing technology of the androids.
There are things inside that only Bell knows. There is no way to know without trying it once, but Ling does not regard the black rabbit as a prop, but as a human being, so she will never do that for the purpose of testing.
The possibility put her in danger.
"Of course, I have no intention of using that unless there is an absolute situation. And if you can make room there, I hope to let Black Rabbit be her playmate for a while. If possible, I still hope to be able to play with her.
Make friends with your children. In this regard, it depends on your efforts."
Ling thought about it for five seconds, and then nodded after realizing that waking up Yuzi in advance would do no harm to her.
"I don't care."
Since it is a sincere request from a friend, she should agree to it.
