Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 137

Backstage of “The Garden of Eden”, the director team has received the list of gifts sent by the guests, and now they are looking at each other.

“Director… It’s not easy to broadcast like this.” The planner swallowed and looked at the notes on the gift list. It seemed that each sentinel pointed to the same person, “It’s not fair to the other female guests.”

The director was silent for a moment: “Where’s the female guest here?”

“Ahem, Cecia chose Phoenix, Lilith chose Sean, Nina… Nina asked us if we could choose female guests, we refused, and she finally chose Arnold. As for Testai’s words,” Planning frowned, “She seems to be still hesitating.”

The deputy director also felt it was inappropriate: “If the male guests give gifts like this, the uncertainty of the program will be reduced a lot, and it will easily lead to dissatisfaction among the supporters of other female guests.”

After all, one of the highlights of Lian Zong is the intricate game between male and female guests.

“Oh, blame me,” the planner scratched his head, “I shouldn’t have sent that notice in such a hurry… It would be much better if the rules were changed.”

The director was not so panicked, he was well-informed, and after thinking for a while, he decided: “Then add an event patch, and remind the guests that all gifts will be delivered in one place, but each person can only Pick a gift you like.”

The assistant director sighed: “This way it can’t be called [gift exchange], it has to be changed to [gift selection].”

“But this will be a lot more interesting,” the planner’s eyes lit up. “It requires boys and girls to understand each other’s tastes, or have similar aesthetics, which can be regarded as providing them with more possibilities.”

From the show team’s point of view, they don’t really want the phenomenon that the Sentinels all look at the same female guest. Although the Star Network audience loves to watch this kind of excitement, the forces behind the other female guests will be very unhappy.

They didn’t send their A-level guides to the show to make green leaves for the Eggbert family.

Marriage, hype, breeding, publicity… this is their purpose.

The science department behind Nina, Star Entertainment to which Lilith belongs, and the ancient culture alliance behind Cecia… These forces have begun to warn the show team, either explicitly or implicitly, to “treat” female guests fairly.

As a director who must balance multiple forces and conceal the real purpose for the group of sentinels, he is also overwhelmed: “Okay, let the executive department send a notice to the guests immediately, and the wording is more euphemistic.”

“receive.”

Not long after, just after submitting the gift list, the guests who were about to wait for the funding from the program group found that the communicator rang again—

[Dear guests, would you like to know the tacit understanding between you and the person you like? In order to enhance the mystery and romance of this event, additional details of the “Eros Day” gift exchange are now announced:

1. Gifts can only be chosen for the opposite sex;

2. Each person can only choose one favorite gift;

3. All gifts, including gifts, must not show the exact name of the person.

Please re-check the gift list to avoid errors. 】

In the camp tent, the girls who were doing the spa together were stunned.

“How could this be?” Because Nina couldn’t choose a gift for Bi Ming, she had to settle for the next best thing and chose a retro-style ballpoint pen for her idol. “Wouldn’t this become a blind selection mode?”

Lilith was a little happy: “But now everyone has gifts, I think it’s pretty good.” If she directly asked the male guests to give gifts, she couldn’t guarantee that she would get nothing.

“Then, that program team also said ‘to the person in your heart’, in case the pen I gave to the doctor is taken away by someone else—”

“Oh, so you chose Dr. Arnold.” Lilith let out a teasing smile, “Exposed.”

Nina felt a headache: “It’s just… a gift to show respect to your boss, don’t think about it.”

“I didn’t mean to be crooked, what’s the point?” Probably thinking that Nina was shy, Lilith also looked specifically at Bi Ming on the other side to seek approval, “Is that so, Testai?”

The blond girl was lying on her back in her sleeping bag, staring at her gift list in a daze, and an unconscious syllable came out of her mouth: “Um…”

“Are you still worrying about who to give it to?” Lilith approached her and helped her review the gift list, “Let me see, polymer red crystal cufflinks, red flame protective cape, red fire diamond bracelet…how all Is it red?”

The eldest lady’s pure blue pupils blinked in confusion: “Because he suits red best.”

Nina and Lilith glanced at each other, oh well, they figured it out, people are not struggling with who to give this night, but are obsessed with choosing the best gift for someone.

“T, Tessei… Can I ask you a question?” Lilith cleared her throat and couldn’t contain her curiosity, “What do you think about Phoenix?”

The blonde girl grabbed the edge of her sleeping bag, frowning slightly, with a trace of nervousness and vigilance: “Why are you asking this?”

“Because, it feels like you have a very good relationship.” Lilith bit her lip and said quickly, “It’s like… it’s already confirmed.”

“I’m not sure,” the eldest lady retorted first, and then a thin blush appeared on her fair face, “but he is indeed the most suitable…according to my family’s standards.”

Lilith said enviously: “Yes, you are all heirs of such a wealthy family, you don’t look down on other people at all.”

Bi Ming sighed in his heart, this is not a family relationship.

Look at the original owner who was almost ignored. If there was no careful design at the beginning, who would care about such a self-willed young lady with low dual quotient and beauty?

Phoenix’s conditions and abilities are far more than what he has shown. As an S-rank sentinel who has ascended to a high position at a young age, he will not and cannot easily fall into the game of love.

But this does not mean that he has no weaknesses. After the first day of testing, Bi Ming found that his harmless, simple and manipulative personality would make him let down some guards.

Then, Arnold’s giant boa created an opportunity for Beaming to see Phoenix’s heart – this red-haired man has an extremely strong sense of responsibility to protect the weak.

Of course, this “weak” must be a “weak” that he has included in the scope of protection. It’s useless to play tricks like Cecia.

So Bi Ming created a green plum image that perfectly matched Phoenix’s desire for protection through the point of “acquaintance at a young age”.

Arrogant and reserved, pure in nature, and trusting him wholeheartedly.

On this basis, Bi Ming also found that the other party seemed to have a special obsession with the “past”, so she created a phantom of “I like Brother Phini since I was a child” through words, and accompanied Phoenix to recall the past. , to give each other comfort.

This is not difficult, there are many things that noble children like in the original body’s memory, and even if the other party can’t remember, they can explain it with clichés such as “It’s a pity, I really wanted to play with Fini at that time”.

Under such circumstances, no matter Phoenix’s heart or not, at least Bi Ming can rely on this affection in exchange for Phoenix’s asylum, so as to ensure his own life safety in the show.

As for why not find someone else?

Bi Ming was serious about doing backtracking, Tang this guy looked unreliable, Sean was the enemy, Arnold was suspicious, Chris was too mysterious… The uncertainty was too great.

In short, the result presented is that she and Phoenix have their own enchantment.

“Testai?” Lilith’s soft call brought Beaming’s consciousness back into the cage, “So have you made your choice? The deadline is approaching soon.”

“I know,” Bi Ming ordered a favorite item on the shopping interface, the corners of his lips curled up, “It’s done.”

“What did you choose…” Lilith curiously wanted to take a closer look.

“No,” Bi Ming thought, setting the projection to privacy mode, “This is a gift from me, I won’t tell you.”

“Che, stingy.” The pink-haired girl pouted, “I originally wanted to tell you what gift Cecia gave Phoenix, so let’s not talk about it.”

Bi Ming raised her eyebrows: “Did she choose Fini?”

“Shh, I saw it secretly.” Lilith folded her index finger and pressed her lips, “I was just entering the tent at the time, she was picking gifts with earplugs on, and she didn’t notice me, so I took a look behind me. “

“Lilith, you are so gossipy.” Nina on the side sighed, “You want to see any gift…”

“I still want to see the male guests.” Lilith stuck out her tongue, and then she couldn’t help guessing, “You said that there are five boys, doesn’t it mean that one person can’t give a gift?”

“Well, according to the program group’s rule that they can only send the opposite sex, they will have an order.” Nina nodded.

“Anyway, we’re all alone, so we won’t lose anything.” Lilith thought while holding her cheeks, “If only I had chosen Sean’s… Do you know what color he likes?”

Bi Ming and Nina sighed, helplessly looking at the little girl in front of them, and said at the same time:

“do not know.”

“Have not heard.”

The gift list was handed in that night, and the discussion in the “Eden” section of Xingwang was in full swing.

They also made a bet. Before the show team released a patch, they bet that “the eldest will receive a few gifts”, and more than 50% of the people voted “all”.

Later, after the director changed the rules, the bet turned into “Which sentinel’s gift will the eldest lady get in the end”, which was more random, and “Phoenix” and “Christian” got the highest votes.

The reason is also very simple: [Phoenix knows the beauty of the eldest best. 】

[Chris is best at observing others and is very careful. 】

Later, due to the skyrocketing traffic, the bonus pool of this game became bigger and bigger, attracting many people who didn’t watch the show to join in.

The popularity of “Garden of Eden” has surged again, and the director team is so happy that the appeal of Miss Egbert has also risen by a level.

If Bi Ming chooses to quit the show now, then “Eden” will definitely lose most of its highlights in an instant.

…

The next day, when Bi Ming woke up, the sun had passed, and the people who went to explore the tree tower had already left the camp.

“Testai, I recently discovered that the spores collected last time are still biologically active, and the research institute urged me to submit the data report,” Nina looked at Bi Ming apologetically while wearing her special experimental robe. “I’m going to do experiments in the next few hours, will I stay with you in the afternoon?”

“It’s okay,” Bi Ming rubbed her eyes and pulled the messy blonde hair behind her ears, “I’ll just go outside and get some sunshine.”

“Sun…you mean the day star?” Nina was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “Alright, then you remember to stay close to the capsule, and hide in if there is any danger.”

The pheromone capsule that saved Nina’s life before has been placed in a corner of the camp for emergency use.

“Thank you Nina, I know.” The blond girl stood up, flipping through her clothes, she couldn’t help thinking of the alien from the day before yesterday and the silver-haired sentinel who saved her—1998.

She was actually quite curious about where the other party usually stayed. If it was on the island, where would he hide?

As soon as this idea was born, it was a little overwhelming.

After all, a guy who has never appeared in the original work, but is so powerful, if he is their protector, will he always hide near them?

Thinking that the other party might have been secretly following his group, Bi Ming was a little subtle.

Sitting on the jelly sofa outside the tent, the girl coiled her blond hair behind her head, turning it into a bud-like dumpling, with two curly blond hair hanging from her forehead, and the audience in the live broadcast room was startled. startled.

[The wife with her hair **** is a real beauty in the prosperous world [drooling]]

[My dear, it’s no wonder that the eldest miss can publish a special issue just by relying on her hairstyle. Some people have calculated that her hairstyle has hardly been repeated in the past ten days. Even her hair has a different curl… Feet are alive and well. 】

[A certain family often uses makeup to pull and trample my daughter, and I have been brainwashed by my daughter’s “poor hands-on ability”, and it really made me mad. 】

The girl’s blond hair is elegantly bundled, and it is decorated with a light blue rose newly picked on the surrounding grass, wearing a blue and white lady’s long dress, and that treasure-like face, which is picturesque when walking.

The wings of the golden ball were flapping faster and faster, and the heat that had been lost due to the absence of the sentinel gradually returned.

After all, the power of Yan Gou is immeasurable.

At this time, Bi Ming, who didn’t know that her unintentional dressing had set off another craze, after reading the “Young Talent Candidate List” sent by her family for a while, she also felt a little bored. Nina can’t disturb, there is no sentinel Accompanying but not daring to go out for a walk…

Wait, no sentinels to accompany you?

She bent her fingers, pressed her chin to think for a while, and found that she didn’t seem to need to be so rigid.

The sentinel seems to have a ready-made one, or the kind that can be reached immediately.

After thinking about the android with a mask and a little bit of cleanliness, the more Bi Ming thought about it, the more feasible it became.

She stood up, reached out and held the golden ball that was flying around her in her hand, and pressed the “emergency button”.

The audience who found the camera suddenly approached were confused: [What’s wrong? 】

【What is Miss Testai doing? 】

[Wife, it’s too close, I’m a little dizzy…]

Naturally, Bi Ming couldn’t see the feedback from the barrage, but she could find that the wings of the little ball were flapping so fast that it almost rushed out of her palm.

She had no choice but to hold the ball in her arms, circle it tightly, and look into the distance.

There seemed to be a rustling sound in the air, Bi Ming bit her lip, and she saw a silver figure.

The beautiful silver-gray uniform of the visitor wrapped his body like a thin layer of steel armor, half of his face was covered by a silver-white alloy mask, his eyebrows were deep, and his gray-green eyes were like the bottom of a lake where moss spread.

But Bi Ming suddenly tightened her skirt, her eyes widened slightly, with a hint of fear—

Because the man was dragging a black alien whose head had been crushed in his hand.

[Why are there really aliens? When did it come? 】

Her heart roared uncomfortably, and her good mood to test 1998 instantly vanished.

“You found out just in time. Five seconds ago, it was hovering at the gate of your camp.”

Bi Ming: …Is this a physique that **** aliens?

Cecia and Lilith were safe yesterday, but what happened to me?

She calmed down and approached the other party: “Did you… see where it came from?”

“No.” The white-haired sentinel’s tone was cold, his fingers moved slightly, opened a space, and then threw the alien wreckage in his hand into it, “Give me some water.”

Bi Ming glanced at the space gap he opened, which was a strange black color, and could not feel anything except depression.

1998 seemed to sense her curiosity and shrank her fingers, closing the entire space.

“Give me some water.” He repeated his previous request.

Bi Ming listened to the other party’s mechanical and hoarse tone and sighed. Is this guy’s larynx vocal cords not maintained for too long? It sounds a bit pitiful.

She didn’t think much, pointed in the direction of the bathroom tent and said, “There is water there, you can go wash your hands, remember to enter the blue tent.”

The blue tent is for male guests only.

1998 looked down at her, the gray-green pupils were a little mixed, and they looked like glass beads thrown away by children who were tired of playing.

Bi Ming thought he would say thank you, but the other party just looked at her fixedly, and after a while, she turned around and walked towards the bathroom tent amid her questioning voice.

The rigorous pace full of mechanical rhythm, the perfectly proportioned male figure wrapped in the uniform, and the disjointed response just half a beat…everything shows the inhumanity of this sentinel.

When I came out in 1998 after washing my hands, I saw Bi Ming who frowned.

She has been seriously insecure by the strange appearance that appeared inexplicably, and she did not dare to get too far away from this powerful sentinel at this time.

“1998… Can you stay here?” Looking at the expressionless mechanical modification in front of her, she coughed lightly, “I’m afraid there will be more in a while.”

The tall white-haired sentinel looked around, and within his perception range, the alien just now and the four the day before yesterday all came from the same place.

“No, I’m going to investigate.” He directly rejected her request.

Bi Ming frowned: “What do you want to investigate?”

“The source of the alien.”

“Then you have to protect me first.” The eldest lady raised her head, stared at him with blue eyes, and emphasized seriously, “You are the bodyguard invited by the show for us, and the first priority should be to protect the guests.”

“If you investigate clearly, you can cut off the source.” The android’s brain circuit is obviously not the same as that of the eldest lady. He is not considerate at all, and he can’t read the girl’s fear. He will only choose the best choice in his mind. “Outside the door There are footprints that can be traced back to their lair.”

As long as the old nest is found and the aliens are completely eliminated, the threat to the guests can be completely eliminated.

When he finished speaking in 1998, he was ready to set off. Just like his quick-action style, he wanted to solve all the troubles while still capturing the aura of aliens.

However, when he took a step, he found that his clothes were pulled.

“No.” The girl’s slender and white hands like suet tightened the corners of his clothes, and her blue pupils were like crystal gems, “You’re gone, who will protect my safety?”

The android sentinel slowly lowered his head and looked at the hand that was softer than the petals. His brain analyzed countless ways to get rid of her in an instant.

It was a fragile limb that would have been broken with a single swipe.

But just because she was too fragile, in the 1998 brain analysis, all the forced actions would hurt her.

He decides to leave her alone, move on, and get rid of her.

But before he took two steps, he found that the girl’s movements had escalated—

She grabbed his arm.

…In the long silence, this “executor” who had personally destroyed countless planets and lives and was feared by the government finally discovered a creature that was more troublesome than the current alien.

woman.

It’s not that he never met a woman when he was on a mission, and some women even took a fancy to his shell and used means to “seduce” him, but those are meaningless to 1998, who has no emotions and desires human activity.

In pursuit of efficiency, he has never paid attention to those things. If the other party is the enemy, he will also penetrate the other party’s heart without any emotion and harvest life.

There were no thoughts in his mind beyond the task of completing it.

But now, in his eyes, Bi Ming is a guest who should be protected and cannot be harmed, and it is also a trouble preventing him from completing the task.

Under the dilemma, he generated a new logical chain.

To protect the other party, but also to complete the task –

“Then come with me.” The white-haired sentinel lowered his eyes coldly, his voice was cold and hard, like an old-fashioned machine that rattled, “Go to the alien’s lair.”

Bi Ming: ? ? ?

She suspected that the malicious android was trying to kill her.

“I… protect you, you won’t die.” The other party seemed to be able to read her emotions from her facial expressions. In order to better make Bi Ming obey him, he rarely added a word similar to “appease”.

Seeing that he was serious, Bi Ming subconsciously began to quickly analyze the plan proposed by the other party.

Alien is not threatening to sentinels above A-level, one is the same as a hundred, and the one in front of him is a double S-level sentinel, as long as he is willing, even if there are more monsters in the alien lair, they will basically disappear in an instant. .

Therefore, the other party’s plan to cut grass and roots is indeed the most thorough choice, and I don’t have to worry about being afraid in the future.

Bi Ming was about to agree, but thinking of her friends in the base, she was not very relieved: “Yes, but there is Nina…”

1998 asked lightly, “Where is she?”

“In the tent, I’ll call…” Bi Ming pointed to the direction of his tent.

The next second, the eyes of the silver-haired sentry swept over, and a layer of gray-black mist suddenly shrouded the tent.

“What is that?” Bi Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

“Barrier, it can help her isolate all interruptions.”

Magical ability… Bi Ming lowered her eyes, thinking about the other party’s endless means, and felt a little more relieved about the actions of the meeting.

After a while, the two walked out of the camp and found some monster footprints at the door.

Walking along these footprints, Bi Ming felt that this road was very familiar, and it was the route to the lower stream that day.

The golden **** danced excitedly behind them, documenting Testie and the 1998 expedition.

…

Bi Ming had already retreated a little when he saw the silt on the beach.

She looked at the light blue fish head shoes on her feet that she changed to match her skirt. They were purely handmade and expensive to make, but they didn’t have any auxiliary functions like off-road shoes.

She estimated that if she stepped on it with one foot, she could no longer have the shoes, so she could only go barefoot.

The masked sentinel saw that she was standing still, so he could only turn back and stare at her blankly.

“Shoes…” The eldest lady lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her skirt with one hand, half curled her other hand, and said in a low voice, “I can’t walk like this.”

The brain of 1998 gave the simplest solution: “I’ll take you away.”

The next second, in the eldest young lady’s unpredictable exclamation, the sentinel’s arm passed through her armpit and the bend of her leg, and hugged her whole body.

“You…wait…” The blond girl put her hand on his shoulder, a little embarrassed, “I haven’t agreed yet.”

The artificial man who couldn’t understand why the girl’s cheeks were flushed: “I’m just solving the problem. If you strongly refuse, I can keep you here and transfer you when I arrive at the destination.”

Bi Ming’s mind recalled the appearance of the other party dragging the alien head from the void at that time, and instantly felt a little nauseated: “Shut up.”

1998 really shut up.

His brain thread was a bit messy, probably because the Missy meant that the unknown instructions were incompatible with reality, and he decided to enforce his PlanA.

Maintaining the posture of the princess hugging, 1998 soon brought Bi Ming to the downstream area that everyone came to explore yesterday.

Before being put down by the other party, Bi Ming raised his head and looked at his metal mask, and couldn’t help but gently touched it with his fingers, with pure curiosity.

“Can this be taken off?” she whispered.

The sentry’s gray-green pupils were half-drooping, and he glanced at her without answering the question.

In essence, he does not have a nervous system, nor does he have the signal of pain, but he has a tactile system.

Whether it’s the mask or the face itself, even the lightest touch can make his response mechanism alert.

So the girl caressed the fingers of his mask, essentially the same as stroking his cheek.

1998’s brain showed some specific values ​​of the touch pressure. After analyzing the possibility that the opponent’s touch would not threaten him, he threw these boring data into the storage crystal of the intellectual brain.

During the annual inspection of the android, meaningless data in the crystal will be deleted.

However, in 1998, he was not sure whether he should delete this data, because he found that in the process of receiving the touch, his brain waves had undergone a slight change.

It was like a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.

The sentry looked down at the blond girl in his arms and made a request: “You touch me again.”

He wanted to see if his body was malfunctioning, or if the other party had an invisible attack ability.

Bi Ming was a little puzzled by this request, but she still satisfied the other party. This time, her fingers used a little force, trying to uncover the other party’s mask.

But she found that no matter how she pulled it, the silver mask was like being welded to the other person’s face, and there was no way to take it off.

“Okay.” The sentinel found that his brainwaves were normal this time. It seemed that the other party didn’t use any hidden attack methods. It might just be that his body was affected by the nearby magnetic field.

As a space system power user, as soon as 1998 came here, he discovered the chaotic gravitational field in this area.

That is the unique situation after warped space.

shore.

Large swaths of grass were surging, and the grass was as high as one person. Bi Ming could only grab 1998’s sleeve and follow the other side forward.

“We were here yesterday…but nothing.”

The wind blew lightly by the side of the ear, and when passing through, the iris grass that was pushed aside made a rustling sound when it swayed.

Bi Ming only saw the greenery spreading all around, full of vitality, but it seemed to have no end.

Grass blades rubbed, insects hummed, and the silver-haired robot’s precise and steady pace sounded. She saw that the front was getting brighter and brighter, as if she had entered a mysterious green passage, and the front was rushing in like a tide, Great enthusiasm.

Her thinking began to slow down gradually, and even let go, because the white light in front of her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the insects in her ears became more and more ethereal.

The wind began to blow towards her, blowing the curls around her cheeks.

The sky was clear and blue, and under the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, she seemed to see… an asphalt concrete road.

Yes, she found herself standing on a real road, the dark and dusty asphalt pavement scorched by the sun and marked with yellow road markings, which had cracked in places and grown out. grass.

Not far away, there are low buildings, all covered with crawling tigers, the walls are cracked with large gaps, and some small black ants crawl out.

Bi Ming turned back, and the green grass behind him was still swaying in the wind, just like the most common and unattended grass next to the building.

“Go, look ahead.” The silver-haired sentinel whispered beside her.

Bi Ming watched him walk step by step to the roadside, where a bus was parked. The window glass was gone, and it was covered with vines and green leaves. Most of the red car shell had been corroded into rust color. Covered with a thick layer of dust.

There are billboards on the street, and they are all covered with ash. Only a pair of men and women kissing each other can only be vaguely seen, and there are several badly worn English letters below.

Bi Ming thought, this should be a small town.

It has everything but no one.
