under the tower

Thoughts flashed through Ji Xi's mind, he smiled and said calmly, "I've come to join you."

Yan Xun's expression didn't seem surprised: "So, Master Ji plans to stay in Beicheng?"

Ji Xi nodded, not intending to quarrel with them: "Exactly." He said with a smile, "I wonder if the Beicheng base is still short of manpower?"

Yan Xun smiled slightly, obviously admiring Ji Xi's way, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and pushed it in front of Ji Xi.

"They are all from Huaguo, and the friends in Shencheng are our friends in Beicheng. What's more, Young Master Ji has outstanding ability and talent. After he emerged in the selection this time, he has been valued by the higher-ups. If you are willing to contribute to the construction of our Beicheng base Power, of course it would be the best."

"Currently, you have scored 12 points in our elite school selection test within 484 hours of the competition. We appreciate your excellent performance, so we hereby decide to recruit you as our key talent in advance. "

Ji Xi ignored his flattery, and took the document with a calm expression.

The header directly above the document indicated Yan Xun's intention to come.

This is a letter of consent for the appointment of the commander of the United Front Command.

The book also states that the base will directly award the rank of major general to Ji Xi as a special preferential treatment for the Shencheng base, which has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with it.

Ji Xizai carefully examined the contents of the entire document, and found that the conditions offered by the base were indeed quite generous, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

The power structure of the Beicheng military is very similar to that of Shencheng. Generally speaking, if you want to be promoted from the bottom to the position of commander, it is absolutely impossible not to spend ten or eight years in the army.

This is truly a step up.

Yan Xun continued: "As far as I know, Master Ji has developed a deep friendship with Mr. Chang and Mr. Lu. Of course, we are happy to see it come to fruition. In the future, I hope that Master Ji and Mr. Chang will work together to create a better future together. Create brilliant."

Ji Xi's drooping fingers moved lightly.

"Happy to see it happen"?

Should he say that Chang Huai and Lu Mingxiu did a good job of keeping secrets, or that he was actually played by others?

The Chang family and the Lu family, the seemingly rebellious Chang Huai and Lu Mingxiu, and the third force hiding in the dark all made the whole situation extremely complicated.

But the fact is, no matter what the real situation in Beicheng is, Ji Xi has no reason not to accept this olive branch.

When Lu Mingxiu found him for the first time, he was determined to wade into this muddy water, and if he wanted to get out, it should not be now.

If he came to Beicheng once, he would never return to Shencheng empty-handed.

He needed a bargaining chip to regain his family territory, and the document Yan Xun gave was to give everything he wanted, and push him to a glorious high position with one hand.

I'm afraid no one will be unmoved.

But is it really that simple?

Ji Xi has a vague feeling that although the base's intention to win over is obvious on the surface, secretly, it seems that they want to use this to negotiate some terms with him.

A very simple reason, people often say "coordinating with virtue", Ji Xi claims that he does not have much ability to make the base willingly offer such generous conditions.

He is not Chang Wentao's own son, so why did the Chang family spend so much effort to bribe him?

But he didn't understand what he was attracted to.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his brain, and Ji Xi remembered the moment before he received the alarm and was taken away by someone sent by Chu Phosphorus.

...he used his power.

Could it be because of this?

Human beings have been exploring genetic modification and supernatural powers since a long time ago, especially those families with big businesses will devote more scientific research energy to this, but it is a pity that after so many years, it is true that through genetic modification There are very few human beings who have achieved the remarkable ability of visualization, and the fantasy things such as shooting fireballs, summoning lightning, and predicting the future with human hands in those movies are even more fantasy.

Most of the subjects can only show some relatively tasteless auxiliary traits, such as changes in appearance, enhancement of physique, extension of lifespan, and so on.

In the process of getting along with Chang Huai and Lu Mingxiu, Ji Xi didn't find any obvious supernatural powers in them.

Ji Xi looked through the entire consent form again, and found that there were almost no restrictions on him, except for one, which required him to participate in the loyalty test for enlistment, but this was considered a normal procedure and should not be considered a nuisance.

"Let me confirm." Ji Xi didn't write for a long time, but asked, "Apart from this document, do I need to sign other auxiliary agreements?"

Yan Xun said, "What are you referring to?"

Ji Xi: "For example, cooperate with scientific research institutes."

Yan Xun smiled and said with a good attitude: "This is all up to you, we will not impose interference, it would be great if you are willing to cooperate."

Ji Xi looked directly at him, and Yan Xun looked back calmly.

Although he himself didn't seem to be malicious at all, and seemed to only express his goodwill and appreciation for Ji Xi on behalf of the base, the two high-ranking and three-thick officers behind Ji Xi didn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing or giving in.

From the corner of Ji Xi's eyes, he noticed that they were not only equipped with guns, but also wearing bulletproof vests, with the new M701 shotguns hanging under the coats. Obviously, they had already prepared themselves after seeing Ji Xi's abilities.

Their muscles were taut, ready for battle.

This is not a fair negotiation.

Ji Xi even suspected that even though they still greeted each other with smiles, if he said "no", he would immediately be able to taste the power of those new weapons.

Compared with a simple pistol, this is not easy to deal with, especially Ji Xi can only mobilize a very small part of his body most of the time.

He couldn't fully control his abilities, or in other words, because he lost the help of Shencheng Research Institute, he didn't know the limits and potential of his body at all.

Under Ji Xi's current capabilities, heavy weapons and any explosives that can cause mass destruction are his biggest nemesis.

In other words, although he is sitting at the negotiating table today, he actually has no other choice.

He has to sign this document if he signs it, or he has to sign it if he doesn't.

Having figured this out, Ji Xi lowered his eyes and slowly unscrewed the pen cap.

At the signing place, he signed his real name that he hadn't used for a long time.

Two beautiful cursive characters landed on the snow-white paper, next to a bright red fingerprint.

Yan Xun put away the documents in satisfaction, raised his right hand to shake hands with him.

——"Master Ji, please give me more advice in the future."

The steel seal symbolizing the United Front Forces of the base is engraved in another place.

The contract is established and the coffin is finalized.

Ji Xi's things were directly moved out of his apartment in Wanshen District.

After signing the agreement, Yan Xun took the elevator directly to the 13th floor of the tower and told him that the entire floor would be used by Ji Xi from now on.

The entire floor occupies a very large area, surrounded by transparent temperature-controlled glass curtain walls with adjustable colors. At the entrance is a spacious reception room that can accommodate more than 40 people. Afterwards, bedrooms, private study rooms, washrooms, etc. are equipped with the highest standard equipment. The space is all available, and the whole building is like an intelligent machine integrated into the whole. Ji Xi is its central brain. He can convey any order to this machine and get the most loyal implementation.

The crystallization of wisdom from the reproduction and evolution of the entire human society to the present is all contained in this tower full of technology and intelligent equipment.

In comparison, the apartment buildings in Wanshen District can be described as primitive caves.

In other words, there was no need for him to go back to that place.

The unmanned delivery machine and the automatic home improvement machine completed all the moving work for him, and they were able to completely obey Ji Xi's wishes and arrange the entire floor as he wanted.

Ji Xi spread his arms, he didn't have to do anything himself.

So he lay back on the bed and took a nap.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already completely dark, and the surrounding transparent glass curtain wall reflected the night sky dotted with stars and the brightly lit city below.

For a moment, Ji Xi thought he was back in Shencheng.

The surroundings are the same as the previous home. A warm yellow lamp is embedded on the wall beside the bed, and the white lampshade looks like a little man wearing a peaked hat.The entire floor is covered with a huge light gray camel hair rug, and a round sofa with mosaic texture is horizontal in the corner beside the bed, big enough for Ji Xi to nest in it, and in front of it is a low, small sofa. On the coffee table, the housekeeping management system poured him a cup of warm coffee before he woke up, and the whole room was filled with a faint and pleasant smell.

Ji Xi got up from the bed. He was just lying down with his clothes on. The temperature in the room was automatically maintained at the most livable 24 degrees Celsius. Even if he didn't cover himself with a quilt, he wouldn't feel cold.

He stepped on the soft carpet, walked to the coffee table in front of the window, sat down cross-legged, his back sank into the soft sofa, picked up the mug on the coffee table, and took a sip.

Even though he knew it was just polymer cuisine, the familiar smell of coffee still cheered him up.

The temperature of the liquid was adjusted just right, neither cold nor hot, the taste and sweetness matched just right, the unique slightly bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue, he turned his head to look at the gorgeous night view outside the window.

This is the benefit of technology. Even though so many things have happened this year, it can suddenly give him the illusion that everything is as before.

This gap is really a bit big. It is hard to imagine that he was still struggling for food and how to survive a few hours ago, which made himself a mess.

A few hours later, he became the bystander watching everything from above again, just like before.

Next, the comfortable and boring life may gradually make him forget everything, forget the countless mortals below who are still struggling in purgatory, forget the despair and pain that life has given him personally, forget his friends, if those with If the people he met once can be counted as his friends, and...forget Enichi.

……Do not.

Ji Xi raised his hand subconsciously, caressing that piece of cold glass, as if in the next second this hand with strong bones would pass through that piece of glass, leading him into the boundless night.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

Ji Xi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt a suffocating feeling in his chest that was so tight that he couldn't breathe. He immediately pressed the smart assistant in his ear and dialed Yan Yi's phone number.

"Beep...beep..."

The blind tone repeats regularly and mechanically like the second hand of a wall clock.

At the other end, no one answered.

Ji Xi jumped up from the sofa and accidentally spilled half a cup of unfinished coffee on the expensive and extremely difficult-to-clean carpet.

But he didn't care about these, and immediately dialed a second call after the smart assistant automatically hung up after a timeout.

After a long wait, no one picked up.

Why, hasn't he come back yet?

But Chu Lin clearly agreed that he would send Yan Yi away.

Ji Xi felt as if his heart was being grabbed, he was restless up and down, making him like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the spacious room non-stop.

Maybe it's just a delay on the road...or didn't hear you when your smart assistant wasn't around?
