Chapter 315: The Sincerity of 'Lord Wa'
The door was closed, and choking smoke was spreading under the incandescent light bulbs. There were people sitting on every broken sofa, both men and women, and different pictures were flashing on everyone's computer screen, some harmonious, some bloody, and some pornographic, and the cheap membrane keyboards were tapping out the rhythm of rock music.
People who couldn't find an available computer were wandering in the aisle, and the Internet cafe was crowded.
The network administrator was sitting in a corner at the front desk, watching the action on the computer screen. When the battle reached its climax, his left hand was about to quietly reach under the counter to grab some paper, when suddenly a huge angry voice rang out from a corner of the Internet cafe:
"Damn! Where's Lao Leiren? I asked him to pay me so many times, why hasn't he paid me yet? I was just attacking the sand with my teammates when he got kicked off the plane!"
"I'm coming!"
The network administrator replied angrily. He had actually heard it a long time ago, but because it was almost the key point, he pretended not to hear it.
He secretly pulled up his trousers, trotted over to the man in his slippers, and said impatiently, "Which machine? How much do you want to add?"
"Machine 43, add 10 bucks, hurry up, my teammates are waiting for me to come online."
The man took money out of his pocket as he spoke. When he turned around, he was stunned: "Hey, why is it you? Where's Lao Lei?"
"Lao Lei is on a date with his online girlfriend. I'll cover for him tonight."
The network administrator took the money unhappily and went back to the front desk, thinking that while Lao Lei was having fun with his girlfriend, he was here to keep watch for him. He also thought that his mentor's spellcasting was interrupted and he suddenly felt a little unbalanced.
But this imbalance was short-lived. As he adjusted the progress bar back to the normal state, the slight complaint in his heart disappeared.
……
Lao Lei didn't know that his colleague was feeling a little resentful towards him in his heart because his spell was interrupted.
He was supposed to be dating his online girlfriend, but now he was taking the sightseeing elevator of the Prens InterContinental Hotel and preparing to reach one of the floors.
As the elevator ascended, the neon night scene of the entire CBD center gradually collapsed in his field of vision, and would eventually collapse into the size of a handful, like a cup of espresso reflecting light.
What happened in Xinyu Internet Cafe tonight is just the tip of the iceberg of the Internet cafe ecosystem. Whether Lao Lei is on duty or not, this kind of thing will not have much impact on this world line. At most, colleagues did not have a good time, or customers lost the battle.
But he is now doing something big, a really big thing, and whether it goes well or not will determine the future of the world.
But it shouldn't be a big deal. Although this mission is important, it is very simple. He just needs to hand over the file to the next person.
With a "ding", the elevator stopped at one of the floors of the hotel. Lao Lei straightened his collar and walked out of the elevator.
I walked to the door of the corresponding room number and knocked. The code for contact was five long and three short. After waiting for thirty seconds, a response came from inside the door.
"who is it?"
"it's me."
Another thirty seconds of waiting, and then a "click" sound was faintly heard through the heavy security door. Mans showed half of his face, looked Lao Lei up and down, and then made way for half of his body.
"come in."
Lao Lei nodded, and the moment he stepped on the soft floor, the security door closed heavily behind him. Schneider dragged the cart to the entrance corridor, and Lao Lei immediately bowed to Schneider.
"Professor Schneider." Lao Lei greeted.
"You don't need to call me professor outside the school. And you have been participating in the overseas internship for more than a year, and you have officially graduated from the college in June this year. Now you are an official specialist of the executive department and my colleague, Raymond." Schneider said lightly.
"But you are always my mentor." Lao Lei nodded.
"Hey, why do you only call me Professor Schneider and not me?" Mans sat down on the sofa next to him and looked at Schneider with dissatisfaction, "Is this your student?" "Yes." Schneider nodded, "His name is Raymond, he is the executive officer stationed in this city, number B007, and he officially graduated from the mechanical department of the college in June this year."
"Why don't students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering ask me to be their mentor?"
Mance muttered and glanced at Raymond again: underneath the ill-fitting black jacket was a white shirt that was out of shape after being washed, his trousers were wrinkled, his sneakers had the Adadis logo on them, and his hair had not been blow-dried, obviously having been washed before coming.
The only thing that seemed well-placed was the Armani tie he was wearing, but the combination of casual clothes and a tie was... even more weird.
"Do all your students dress so unconventionally?" Mans couldn't help but complain.
"No choice." Lao Lei sighed and took off his Armani tie. "The security guard at the door of this hotel said that people who are not properly dressed will not be admitted. I can only come in if I wear a tie."
"There is still such a rule?" Mans was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Forget it, these are not important - did you bring the things?"
"Brought it."
Lao Lei nodded, put the small briefcase in his hand on the coffee table and opened it. This briefcase was taken from Jiude Mai when he ran errands for her. He opened the combination lock and found a kraft paper document bag in the briefcase, which was sealed with traditional wax.
"This is first-hand information, right? No one else has handled it before." Schneider looked up and confirmed with Raymond.
"Yes." Lao Lei nodded, "I got it directly from the people of 'Lord Wa'. It has been kept by me all this time. No third person has touched it."
Schneider nodded. The reason for being so cautious was that this was intelligence that the academy had paid a great price for. If it was handled by a third party and was stolen, the academy would suffer heavy losses.
Since its establishment, Kassel Academy has been searching for dragon remains all over the world in the name of archaeology. From Latin America to Africa, whether it is high mountains or deserts, the academy has left its footprints.
But China is the only fertile land for Kassel Academy. It has possibly the largest dragon ruins in the world, but the academy rarely sends large-scale survey teams to China for survey work.
The reason for this is that the mixed-race forces in China are complicated and the ancient families are even more intricate.
The Chinese are descendants of the dragon, and this is not groundless. According to historical records, the four great monarchs have all revived in China. In history, there was a famous dragon slayer named Lin who destroyed the dragon bones that the European dragon slayer organization wanted to transport from China in the name of gunpowder.
Due to various reasons, the secret party has very shallow roots in China and does not have the huge influence that it does in other places.
For this reason, any large-scale mission of Kassel Academy in China requires a huge amount of energy and resources.
This is also the reason why the college has significantly increased the number of Chinese students it enrolls in recent years.
Firstly, the Chinese people themselves have strong dragon blood, so the quality of their students is absolutely guaranteed.
Secondly, the academy also wants to gradually expand its influence in mainland China and get rid of the constraints of local mixed-race forces.
However, for this cooperation, it was the people of "Lord Wa" who took the initiative to approach the academy. They said that they suspected that the remains of the four great monarchs were found in China, and they wanted to use the power of the academy to jointly develop it.
Although the academy didn't know what Lord Wa was planning, since there was an opportunity to come to China for inspection and assignment, the academy would naturally not refuse.
The document that Raymond brought was the first sign of sincerity from Lord Wa to the academy.
