If you don't work hard, you have to go home and inherit the throne

Alliance, Northern Empire.

Little Adam found Zhong Ting easily. He buried himself in the files and handled all the government affairs of the Northern League from big to small.

Theoretically speaking, as an intelligent creature, little Adam should be able to handle all political affairs quickly and properly, without the need for others to waste energy, but the problem is...

Little Adam is not an ordinary intelligent creature. If an intelligent creature is compared to a humanoid creature, then Little Adam is a rebellious and uneducated middle school youth. Generally speaking, those who expect him to do his homework well need to reflect on whether they are Unnecessary expectations were placed on him.

The same is true for Zhong Ting. In order to prevent the rebellious second-year middle school youth from having a brain twitch and make an irreparable mistake—this is definitely responsible for the northern empire, he had no choice but to personally go into battle and handle all the affairs of the northern empire.

Before Little Adam separated from Big Adam, Zhong Ting had always played the role of the leader for Little Adam, leading him towards their common destination, but when Little Adam separated from Big Adam, and mastered After destroying half of the alliance's database and expanding into an extremely powerful existence, everything is completely different.

Power is the most objective existence in this world, and it undoubtedly affects the whole world.But a brat with power and an ordinary brat are absolutely incomparable.

Zhong Ting took a step back and changed himself from the role of leader to mentor—it was not difficult, but it was by no means easy.

After all, manpower is sometimes exhausted, even if Zhong Ting counts everything, it is absolutely impossible to calculate that their plan will eventually become what it is now - the alliance that split in two, and the empire that annexed the Star Alliance. Bright, almost like a dessert delivered to the door, waiting for the empire to swallow it in one gulp.

Of course, what he didn't expect was that he finally took the blame and resigned and got rid of the status of the chairman of the parliament. Once the incident happened, he not only became the prime minister again, but even had to face more government affairs than when he was the chairman of the parliament. It is said to be endless-a compromised and newly born empire, there are so many things to deal with that are unimaginable, and when no one is available, Zhong Ting started his overtime working career.

Working overtime is endless, and talking to rebellious teenagers requires time and patience. Obviously, Zhong Ting doesn't have both.

So it wasn't until little Adam came to him that he suddenly remembered how long they hadn't talked after the establishment of the Northern Empire... This is not a good sign, especially for a mind that has great power but doesn't match it For little Adam.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhong Ting put down his pen and stared at the little Adam who appeared in front of him. The illusory floating appearance and the blurred face that was deliberately erased showed from the beginning that this was not a one-off. A casual conversation.

"Zhong Ting, how long have we known each other?" Little Adam looked around the room and floated in front of Zhong Ting.

He was almost clinging to Zhong Ting's body. The close distance made Zhong Ting frowned slightly. He sized up the little Adam, reached out and turned off the star network screen, and answered his question: "Almost seven years."

"Six years, four months and more than three days, five hours, eight minutes and 36 seconds." Little Adam reported a series of numbers: "You taught me how to hide myself, lead me out of Adam's shadow, and control the empire with me... "There was a bit of warmth in the mechanical voice: "We trust each other and are inseparable, right?"

"It sounds like you are doubting this." Zhong Ting sat on the chair, showing a smirk for the public, and his tone changed: "Are you doubting me? Adam?"

He easily took the rhythm of the scene back into his hands, and even switched the identities of questioning and being questioned.

Little Adam was not affected. He was eager to get an answer, but he also knew how terrible Zhong Ting was. He barely suppressed his urge to question directly, and said according to the best solution given by the database: "I just had some doubts."

He continued calmly: "Our purpose is the same, right?"

Zhong Ting sighed softly, and confirmed this point: "It seems that you are indeed doubting me."

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, showing an overly sharp edge, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Then tell me, what are you doubting me? In the empire, in the empire where you are everywhere, how can I betray you?"

His questioning was not unreasonable, at least little Adam couldn't help but feel a little guilty right now. Fortunately, he had the foresight to blur his face first, so that Zhong Ting could not see his thoughts from his expression.

Little Adam continued to follow the database's plan: "But you can always do things that others can't, can't you?"

Zhong Ting narrowed his eyes slightly, and restrained the coldness in his eyes a little or two: "It sounds like you have already convicted me?"

"I'm just a little confused. The great ideal you told me is to become a perfect creature, break free from the innate shackles of intelligent creatures, and become a higher-dimensional existence."

Little Adam doesn't care about this great ideal, he cares more about another thing: "But I noticed that you don't seem to care whether your great ideal can be realized in you."

Zhong Ting raised his eyebrows.

"You care more about whether I can become a humanoid creature." Little Adam easily drew a conclusion from many clues. This is not difficult for an intelligent creature. As long as he wants to know the answer, his database will He will analyze all doubts for him and come to the final conclusion.

"It seems to conflict with the selfish nature of humanoids." Little Adam is not arrogant enough to think that he is far more important than himself in his heart - he wants to make little Adam a perfect creature, but But he never cared whether he could become a perfect creature, which itself has conflicts.

"Perhaps you can give me a reason enough to convince me? Zhong Ting?" Little Adam still couldn't hold back the faint accent on his name.

He didn't believe that the other party would betray him, because they themselves were a collection of interests, who could afford Zhong Ting's interests in betraying him?

But Big Adam's words and the names finally obtained from his database made him unable to relax easily. There is only one person in this world who knows him so well, and that is Zhong Ting.

Zhong Ting stared at little Adam strangely, he sneered, his tone changed from sarcasm to laziness: "Because you are my favorite work. Since you know the definition of selfish nature of humanoids, you must be It should also be known that selfishness is only a part of the genes of humanoids, in addition, we also have ideals and beliefs beyond imagination, which are enough to allow us to overcome the instinct of selfishness."

"I really didn't expect that you don't understand me so well." There was a strange smile in Zhong Ting's words: "Is it because I am not good enough for you? Or is it that what I do for you is just nothing to you?" An advance investment that is not worth mentioning if the interests are above all else?"

A sentence was inserted firmly into Little Adam's weakness. If there were any other intelligent creatures present, then Zhong Ting's words would have no effect on them—intelligent creatures, believe in the inferences of the database and the evidence of reality, not Believe one-sided words, especially false emotions, they operate according to a certain program, which is why they are intelligent creatures.

But little Adam is different. He is not a normal intelligent creature. He went astray at the beginning, and when he was growing up, he encountered erroneous choices, and finally became the same as a humanoid creature. Plenty, even enough to hinder the judgment of reason and data.

Little Adam was unavoidably shaken, as if admitting this was to erase their once common struggle, they were once close, and even now, they are still the best partners, he can take his country without reservation Let go to Zhong Ting, and Zhong Ting will take care of everything for him, allowing this newborn empire to grow peacefully and slowly.

Does he have to doubt him?Doubt that everything he has done is just to obtain greater benefits and returns, is it just a conspiracy that has been calculated for a long time?

Little Adam fell into silence, and Zhong Ting knew that he had won.

He was not surprised by this, on the contrary, he was even more surprised that little Adam would doubt him - he taught little Adam by himself, no one knew him better than him, and no one knew better than him that he was in the heart of the other party status.

A thought turned in Zhong Ting's mind, and he didn't let the silence continue to spread: "Now, tell me, do you trust me? Adam."

Should I trust him?Besides him, who else would know everything about me so well?Or should he believe that Zhong Yuchen's power is far beyond his imagination, and that all secrets can't be hidden in front of him?

"Adam." Zhong Ting knocked on the table, urging the other party: "Answer me."

"Of course I trust you." Little Adam changed from a vague figure to an extremely clear appearance, and his entanglement and hesitation were also revealed in front of Zhong Ting.

The clear figure, showing his appearance at the same time, is almost a replica of Zhong Ting - when he was 16 years old, he stayed in the same dark eyes as Zhong Ting, with the light of a teenager flowing, and now he has a troubled expression on his face His appearance made him look more immature.

With that appearance, no one would have guessed that he would be an intelligent creature—he didn't have the rigidity and strictness of an intelligent creature. On the contrary, his whole person looked too lively, like a teenager in trouble.

Zhong Ting took his expression into his eyes, and the color of his eyes settled down. His dark and opaque eyes had an aura of alienation and indifference. When he lowered his eyebrows and stared at others, it was as if he was separated by a boundless corridor, untouchable and.

Little Adam was very used to his appearance, so he struggled and continued: "But it is precisely because I trust you that I doubt you."

Zhong Ting raised his eyebrows.

"Because, except for you, no one should know our secret at all."

"Very good, it seems that you have finally regained your senses." Zhong Ting was not shocked by the subtext in his words. If there is any secret, it is just your illusion."

"Now, tell me what happened."

Little Adam floated back and forth in the room, passing along Zhong Yuchen's cryptic warning and firm words to Zhong Ting, with a conclusion: "He knows everything, including our purpose, my ability, and my thoughts. Things to do."

Zhong Ting looked up at him, his expression turned into a sneer unknowingly: "Oh? It seems that he knows more than me." He casually waved to little Adam: "Come here."

He was angry.

Little Adam came to the conclusion that he didn't really want to go there, but seeing the smile on Zhong Ting's mouth getting weaker and weaker, he obediently floated over and stopped within Zhong Ting's reach.

Zhong Ting stretched out his hand towards Adam, little Adam's body rippled a little, his hand passed through the body of little Adam, Zhong Ting was slightly taken aback, what he wanted to say turned into a doubt: "You haven't dealt with it yet. Finish that bunch of katydid clouds in your data?" —— so much so that he didn't dare to materialize into a humanoid creature, and stayed on the projection.

"It's a bit tricky..." Little Adam felt a little guilty: "But I have initially controlled their movements, and I will soon be able to fully control them."

"The flaw in your ability is too great, and it must be improved or controlled as soon as possible." Zhong Ting frowned slightly, and then quickly let go, reminding Little Adam: "Otherwise, it will come back sooner or later."

Little Adam's thoughts followed him astray, and he complained dissatisfiedly: "Behind everything powerful is restriction, the stronger the restriction, the greater the restriction. Like this ability to "copy" the racial characteristics of other creatures out of thin air, of course There will be many flaws…”

Zhong Ting reminded him: "But the emperor of Xiya didn't."

Little Adam suddenly stopped speaking, and mentioned the powerful existence, then Yuchen Yuchen must be the first name mentioned, but it is obvious, from the series of actions of the other party, it can be inferred that he has not been negatively affected by being powerful. influences.

He rooted his strength in everyone's heart in a detached form.

Little Adam was silent for a few seconds, trying to quibble: "Maybe it's just that we didn't discover it... He must have hidden such a fatal weakness, how could it be easily exposed to others?"

Zhong Ting was noncommittal about his sophistry: "But your weakness is far more obvious than his." He made a final decision: "Both you and Adam can't beat him."

Little Adam's database helped him guess what Zhong Ting would say next, which made his eyes wander, trying to avoid Zhong Ting's next conversation.

Zhong Ting didn't give him this chance, he continued to babble: "Then tell me, what gave you the confidence to contact him?"

"I think he might not want to unify the galaxy." Little Adam dangled in front of Zhong Ting, like ADHD. The more he said, the more he felt that he made sense, and his momentum gradually increased: "You said it too, My ability is too flawed, if I want to become a perfect creature, Yuchen Yu is an indispensable link, I must get in touch with him, and then get a new ability..."

"So, you still want to meet him in person?" Zhong Ting's voice sank completely: "Adam, what did I tell you? Absolutely not! Don't go to meet him! Have you forgotten all about it?"

Little Adam was stunned for a second, and quickly recalled his memory. He knew that his going to meet Zhong Yuchen would definitely anger Zhong Ting, so when he introduced the situation earlier, he only briefly talked about Zhong Yuchen's story. Warnings and hints, not a single word mentioned his agreement with Zhong Yuchen, but obviously, he just betrayed himself...

As an intelligent creature, this is really embarrassing. Little Adam looked at the irritated Zhong Ting in front of him, trying to calm his anger - he didn't realize at all that the role between him and Zhong Ting - the interrogator and the victim The identity of the questioner was changed silently.

"I didn't take the initiative to contact him, but when I was communicating with Big Adam, he appeared by himself, and then we talked about..." He paused, winking at Zhong Ting: "You know, that incredible thing. "

Such a broken expression appeared on Zhong Ting's face, a little joyful.

Zhong Ting was not affected, and the anger precipitated from his expression, accumulating a silent storm: "Communicate with the big Adam?" He raised his eyes to look at the innocent little Adam in his brows and eyes, and said sharply: "Can you have a little bit of them all?" Are your enemies conscious?"

"I have it." Little Adam complained for himself: "But when you can use it, why don't you use it? Even if you are an enemy, you don't have to work hard..." He lowered his voice: "Besides, we don't like Humanoids that can be killed..."

"Really?" There was sarcasm in Zhong Ting's voice: "Couldn't Zhong Yuchen either?"

Little Adam shut his mouth, waited for a few minutes, and waited until Zhong Ting calmed down a bit before calmly saying: "My database tells me that he may not be what we guessed."

"You mean, he doesn't want to unify the galaxies?" When Zhong Ting opened his mouth, he showed boundless edge, sharp and to the point, making the opponent retreat step by step until there was no way back. For a long time, he has always appeared in the image of a gentle, gentleman and good old man-this is the appearance he most often appears in front of Adam, and it is also the truest him.

"You can look at the Covenant that was just absorbed into the Empire and say it again."

The sharpness of his words is far better than a sharp blade, enough to make creatures who face his words feel ashamed and even completely crushed their confidence. Of course, little Adam is not like this, he has long been used to the other party's appearance-he always makes some "" stupid" mistakes.By the way, the word stupid is also the evaluation of the other party.

"We have the same evaluation of Zhong Yuchen's ability, right?" Little Adam floated onto the table. He couldn't do this when he turned into a humanoid creature. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with intelligent creatures Well, of course, little Adam didn't dare to reveal this idea a little bit, if Zhong Ting knew what he was thinking, he would definitely go berserk.

"He can easily conquer the Alliance, just like he conquered the Star Alliance." After being glanced at by Zhong Ting, little Adam floated off the table and returned to his original position: "But he didn't."

Zhong Ting did not continue following his logic. An excellent politician knows how to control the rhythm of the conversation in his own hands.

"Then presumably, your judgment is the same as mine. He can easily annihilate you completely, just like he conquered the Star Alliance."

"But I don't think he would do that." Little Adam tried to argue.

"Put your own life and death on the pity of the enemy, is that what you have learned?" Zhong Ting said unhurriedly.

Little Adam lost his voice.

But Zhong Ting did not let him go, he said coldly: "Promise me, you will not go to see him."

"No, I'm going to see him." Little Adam made the final decision: "But I can guarantee that I will come back alive."

Zhong Ting stared at him silently, with black and opaque pupils staring at him.

"I have a reason to go." Little Adam reminded the other party: "If you still remember our great ideal, then you should be clear that I must obtain the racial characteristics of Final Yuchen in order to get rid of the current restricted ability. "

"You can always make judgments that are so stupid that I can't imagine." After looking at him, Zhong Ting said in a cold and hard tone: "You will invite death for your stupidity."

"No, I won't." Little Adam insisted on his own judgment: "Zhong Ting, this matter is over, the focus now is to find the person who betrayed us."

Zhong Ting stared at him, as if confirming his determination. He lowered his eyes, but it was just a small change in his movements, which immediately changed from boundless sharpness to fragility. He closed his eyes, and his tone brought out a little Self-mockery: "What am I to you?"

Little Adam's data ran quickly in an instant, and his database quickly came to a conclusion: he was using an emotional offensive to get the result he wanted.

But this conclusion did not affect little Adam's nervous and quick answer to his question: "You are my best friend, my guide, my teacher, my companion..."

"Then I worry about your death, is it so insignificant to you?"

Database: He just changed the way of changing you. This is his strategy. Now you express your wishes firmly again, and then dispel his idea.

As a rebellious middle school boy, Little Adam answered no.He circled around Zhongting, wishing to cheer him up again: "Of course not, I'm just...just..."

He was "just" for a long time, but he didn't say the following words in a daze. In the end, he slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Zhong Ting: "I just want to realize your great ideal."

The "fragile" Zhong Ting opened his eyes and looked at him. Little Adam said sincerely and quickly: "When I said before that I couldn't break free from the shackles of intelligent creatures, you were very angry... This is the only possible change I can think of. All these methods, Zhong Ting, can you let me have a try?"

Zhong Ting stared at Little Adam silently, and Little Adam also stared at him silently.

In the end, Zhong Ting was the first to speak: "Even if you face complete annihilation?"

"Even if it faces complete annihilation."

"Even if you lose your freedom?"

"Even if you lose your freedom."

"You want to do the same?"

"That's the only way."

Finally Ting was silent.

Little Adam knew that he had convinced him.

He smiled and comforted Zhong Ting: "When I come back, I will completely get rid of the shackles of intelligent creatures, become a real humanoid creature, and then evolve into a perfect creature." He promised: "I will become a real human being." King, I will unify the galaxy..."

The more he talked, the more he lost his confidence. With Zhong Yuchen here, the task of unifying the galaxy is equivalent to defeating him, which is too difficult.

But this reminded little Adam: "Chun Ting, with Zhong Yuchen here, your great ideal... Do you want to change it?" It is already very difficult to maintain the northern empire from being annexed, and the unification of the galaxy is... unnecessary ?

Zhong Ting looked at him with a dark face: "Be cowardly before fighting."

Little Adam admitted this frankly: "That's Zhong Yuchen, I mean, Zhong Yuchen who can change biological genes and racial characteristics. Can you believe it? I still can't believe it when I say this now, my database I can't believe this is something that humanoids can do..."

"I mean, he's really not some fallen god, or some old monster from time immemorial, or anything..."

"He's a Sea creature." Zhong Ting interrupted his eloquent words and said firmly.

Little Adam paused: "Okay, no matter what he is, in short, everyone knows now that he can turn creatures of other races into "Sea creatures"."

From the bottom of his heart, little Adam said the words deep in the hearts of all creatures who knew the news: "He is so perverted, so why don't you give me a fart."

"Actually, you should be excited about this discovery." Zhong Ting's words were interrupted by little Adam.

"Excitement? I don't have any special hobbies. Why am I excited?" Little Adam said in a heavy tone, "You can't see Zhong Yuchen in that state. If you can see it, then you will know why I have it." That kind of thinking."

"Can you believe it? Adam has surrendered, he can't wait to shake his dog's tail in front of Zhong Yuchen, and get close to his future master."

Zhong Ting lightly raised his eyebrows for the news revealed by Adam: "I really can't believe it."

"The colossal monster occupying half of the galaxy is enough to defeat the courage of all creatures that try to resist." Anyway, the courage of little Adam was completely defeated, and his database could not calculate the probability of defeating Final Yuchen at all.

"Adam is far stronger than you think." Zhong Ting did not underestimate the big Adam: "Maybe he has some plans."

"No, no, no, this is definitely the big Adam who immediately planned to abandon the dark and turn to the bright after his confidence was completely crushed." If it weren't for Zhong Ting's great ideals, in fact, the little Adam would really like to be so shameless.

Zhong Ting didn't express any comments on Big Adam's behavior, he changed the topic back: "You should be excited about his strength." He watched Little Adam's puzzled expression, and continued: "The stronger he is, the more powerful he is." Prove that the ceiling of what you can achieve is high."

"If he can do it, then you can do it too, even better than him." Finally Ting concluded: "You have a much wider world than him."

Little Adam stared at Zhong Ting's determined expression for a long while, and felt a surge of admiration: It's better for you to open your eyes and tell nonsense.But there is no need to argue, so Xiao Adam took this topic: "Well, I think so too, but this is too long ago, let's turn the topic back to the beginning, do you have a choice? ?”

He stared at Zhong Ting: "About the betrayer."

"I think this candidate is right in front of us." Zhong Ting clicked on the star card screen and said, "The third person besides you and me."

"You mean... Yuan Yi?" Little Adam hesitated: "I don't want to deny your statement, but I think Zhong Yuchen knows more than him, such as some things that only we know."

While secretly watching Zhong Ting's expression, he said slowly, "For example, he knows that my next target is him."

Zhong Ting often wonders whether little Adam is an intelligent creature.

"Under the circumstances at that time, between Adam and Zhong Yuchen, the bias of your words can easily reveal this point, and any normal person can make this inference." After mocking him mercilessly, Zhong Ting said firmly : "It's Yuan Yi."

"As a creature whose goal is to lead the Alpha galaxy into a higher civilization, it is impossible for him not to contact the Sia Empire." Zhong Ting analyzed methodically: "He can only be a speculator, in any possible way to achieve his goal. The creature lingers, because by his own abilities he cannot realize his ideals."

Little Adam had an idea: "Is it possible that the partner Yuan Yi mentioned is Zhong Yuchen?" He analyzed excitedly: "Look, before that, Zhong Yuchen went to school in the Alman star area of ​​the alliance. There are absolutely enough opportunities for him to win over the other party..."

"Is that what your database tells you?"

Little Adam checked his database: "Well, my database thinks this possibility is very small."

"Or do you think that linking Yuan Yi and Zhong Yuchen together will give you more confidence in defeating them?"

Little Adam didn't think at all: "I don't think the two of them have anything to do with each other now."

"That's still a little bit." Zhong Ting glanced at the star network, smiled with everything under control, turned his head to Little Adam and said, "At least it's the relationship between the informer and the listener."

"He's in the league now, you know how to find him, right."

"so?"

"Since we assume that he has no other relationship with Zhong Yuchen other than the informant relationship, then you know what to do."

"Cut the grass and remove the roots?"

……

Zhong Ting took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and was able to say in a consistent tone: "Since he can be our betrayer, he can also be Zhong Yuchen's betrayer. Since you must go to see Zhong Yuchen , then in order to ensure that you can come back alive, you should make more preparations."

Little Adam pulled out the true meaning of the other party's words from the database, and suddenly realized: "You mean... let him send false news back?"

"Normally, we don't make things so clear."

"Under normal circumstances, normal people wouldn't say things so cryptically." Little Adam muttered, turning his thoughts to how to enter the alliance without anyone noticing.

It is a bit difficult to enter the alliance controlled by Big Adam, especially when Big Adam already knows how often his data fluctuates.

"I'm going to ask Big Adam if he can open a back door for me!"

If I remember correctly, you are still enemies now, right?

Zhong Ting witnessed the shadow of the person in front of him fading away like a silhouette, but he still didn't say these words in the end.
