Chapter 564: Song Feng's Choice! Half the Profits!

~7 min read 1,259 words

"Jingming, who was that girl with the blue-colored eyes just now?"

Lei Ting Martial Hall headquarters compound,

Xu Jingming walked in the very middle, with Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan on his left and right respectively.

On the way, Song Qiuyun asked softly, and Jiang Chuxuan likewise cast a curious gaze.

A girl that pretty was rare even in Magic Capital University, where beauties gathered in droves.

Especially since she also possessed a pair of very rare blue pupils.

"Xia Lan, a member of the Prodigy Training Camp. She went on a mission with me to Myanmar last time.

She's a friend of mine with a pretty good relationship. I can introduce her to you next time."

Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Sure." Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan didn't think much of it.

Based on their understanding of Xu Jingming, if there really were any special relationship, he wouldn't hide it from them.

"By the way, did you both bring the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Carrying them on us, all stored in my spatial ring."

Song Qiuyun smiled and pointed at the spatial ring on her right hand; Jiang Chuxuan likewise nodded in agreement.

After the last assassination incident, they now carried the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards with them whenever they went out.

And they had activated the auto-guard function, constantly sensing the surroundings.

Once they encountered any attack they couldn't react to in time, it could actively leave the spatial ring to defend.

"That's good." Xu Jingming nodded.

After returning from the frontline battlefield, Eva had controlled a robot into the villa's laboratory.

And used his student account to purchase quite a few raw materials, beginning repairs on the damaged energy modules.

Several had already been repaired, just enough to top up the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards' energy.

"Welcome, Grade S, and the two female masters. Eva has already prepared hot water and lunch.

May I ask if you'd like to eat first, or bathe first?"

Just as they returned to the villa, Eva's holographic projection, like an ancient maidservant,

lowered her little head, a pair of long green twin-tails trailing onto the floor and spreading out, and asked very deferentially.

"Stop showing off. Where are the energy modules I told you to prepare?"

Xu Jingming's brow tilted up slightly.

Perhaps because she'd been constrained by Magic Capital University for too long, Eva always liked pulling these whimsical stunts.

Hearing this, Eva finally raised her little head and giggled: "Okay!"

Saying so, she then looked toward the room by the laboratory, and called out very proudly with a clap:

"Little Eva, bring the stuff up."

"Yes, Master."

A basketball-sized mechanical metal ball flew out of the room, a brick-sized black energy module held in each of its two mechanical arms.

Perhaps because the energy modules were too heavy, the metal ball wobbled unsteadily in flight, looking very comical.

"Aren't all the smart systems at home controlled by you? Why did you even give it a name?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help covering his face.

"Artificial intelligence has human rights too! This is a sub-body I've split off, it'll be my little bro from now on!"

Eva puffed out her chest, saying very proudly.

Such a cute appearance made Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both break into smiles:

"Jingming, where did you get this AI? Why does it seem even more anthropomorphic than Magic Capital University's top-tier AI?"

They had both seen Eva in her little elf form in the virtual world long ago, but in reality, this was the first time.

"Got it from a civilization relic. I don't know what level of AI it is, but it's pretty smart anyway."

Xu Jingming gave a brief explanation.

Next, he used these two energy modules to finish charging the two Chi Mang Liu Jin guards.

Then he took the two women to have lunch, and immediately went to soak in the bathtub.

Only then did he go to the bedroom to attend to serious matters.

The entire villa was within Eva's surveillance range.

Although Eva was an intelligent life form and fully under his control,

Xu Jingming always felt it was a bit strange, as if someone were watching from the side.

So, before entering the bathroom, Xu Jingming completely shut down Eva's power.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other in a long time, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both behaved very enthusiastically.

Giving Xu Jingming an excellent experience.

And Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan, equally satisfied, finally understood.

Why meeting in the virtual world always seemed to feel like something was missing...

Because Song Qiuyun's father Song Feng was also coming over in the afternoon,

Xu Jingming didn't go too far. Two hours later, he took the two women to wash up.

It wasn't until a little past five in the afternoon that Song Feng finally arrived in Ningnan City.

And he had arranged a banquet at Ningnan City's most luxurious restaurant, inviting Xu Jingming to attend.

"Uncle, we're here."

Not yet six o'clock, Xu Jingming had already arrived at a luxurious private room of the restaurant with Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan.

The private room was over fifty square meters, with a giant round table at its center, laden with all manner of delicacies from land and sea.

The casually arranged screens and chairs all looked elegantly antique, very exquisite.

Only two people were seated beside the round table—one was Song Feng, whose aura was deep and powerful.

The other bore a seven- or eight-tenths resemblance to Song Feng, but was younger, looking to be only in his early thirties.

Xu Jingming knew this person too—he was Song Feng's youngest brother, Song Hai.

"Dad, Fifth Uncle."

Song Qiuyun pulled Xu Jingming and Jiang Chuxuan over, and Jiang Chuxuan, somewhat nervous as well, called out:

"Hello, uncles."

"Mm, no need to be formal, sit down."

Song Feng had clearly known of Jiang Chuxuan's existence in advance, and said with a smile and a nod.

This couldn't help but make both Xu Jingming and Jiang Chuxuan heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

Song Feng was Song Qiuyun's father—if he disapproved of Jiang Chuxuan's existence, that would really be some trouble.

"May I ask what urgent matter you had in finding me, Uncle?"

After sitting down, Xu Jingming didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Nothing much, mainly because of you, Xiaoming—you brought our Song family a huge pile of orders!"

The moment he thought of the orders that had come crashing in during the morning and afternoon, Song Feng's face could not hold back a smile.

"Me?" Xu Jingming couldn't figure it out.

What did the Song family's orders have to do with him?

"That's right, it's all because of you, Xiaoming."

Song Feng smiled and explained the whole story from beginning to end.

"These legions don't have any other intention—probably they just want to build a good relationship with you in advance.

But they had no other connections, so they came to our Song family."

Song Feng concluded: "As of now, the total amount of procurement orders placed with our Extreme Equipment has already exceeded a hundred billion.

Once completed, there will be roughly twenty billion in profit.

These orders all came because of you, Xiaoming.

So we want to split this portion of the profit down the middle—you take ten billion, we take ten billion.

If more orders come in afterward, we'll still split the profits fifty-fifty.

What do you think of handling it this way?"
