Chapter 564: Song Feng

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

The headquarters compound of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym,

Xu Jingming walked in the center, with Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu on either side.

On the way, Song Song Qiuyun asked softly, and Jiang Chu also turned her curious gaze toward him.

A girl that beautiful was rare even in Mocheng, where beauties were plentiful.

Especially since she possessed such an uncommon pair of blue irises.

"Xia Lan, a member of the Talent Training Camp. I went on a mission with her to Myanmar last time."

"She's a friend I get along with well—I can introduce you to her next time."

Xu Jingming smiled.

"Sounds good." Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu didn't think much of it.

Knowing Xu Jingming as they did, if there had been anything special between them, he wouldn't have hidden it.

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

"Carried with me—they're all in my space ring."

Song Song Qiuyun smiled and pointed to the space ring on her right hand; Jiang Chu nodded in agreement.

After the assassin attack last time, they now always carried the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards with them.

And they'd activated the auto-guard function, constantly sensing their surroundings.

If they encountered an attack they couldn't react to, the guards could autonomously leave the space ring to defend them.

"Good." Xu Jingming nodded.

After returning from the frontlines, Eva had taken the robots into the villa's lab.

Using her student account, she'd purchased plenty of raw materials to repair the damaged energy modules.

She's already fixed several—perfect for recharging the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards.

"Welcome, S-Class and the two mistresses. Eva has prepared hot water and lunch."

"Would you prefer to eat first, or bathe first?"

As soon as they returned to the villa, Eva's holographic projection appeared like an ancient maid.

Head bowed, her long green twin tails cascaded to the floor, spreading out in a deeply respectful posture.

"Stop acting silly—where are the energy modules you were supposed to prepare?"

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

Maybe because she'd been confined in Mocheng too long, Eva always liked pulling these quirky stunts.

Hearing this, Eva lifted her head, grinning: "Got it!"

Then she turned toward the lab room and clapped proudly:

"Little Eva, bring the stuff up!"

"Yes, Master."

A metal sphere the size of a basketball floated out of the room, each of its two mechanical arms carrying a brick-sized black energy module.

Perhaps because the modules were too heavy, the metal sphere wobbled as it flew, looking comical.

"Aren't all the smart systems in the house controlled by you? Why did you give it a name?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help covering his face.

"Artificial intelligence has rights too! This is a sub-unit I split off—she's my little sibling now!"

Eva puffed out her chest, speaking with great pride.

Her adorable demeanor made Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu both smile:

"Jingming, where did you get this AI? It feels more human-like than even Mocheng's top-tier AI."

They'd both seen Eva in her sprite form in the virtual world, but this was their first time seeing her in reality.

"I found it in a relic. I don't know what level it is, but it's pretty smart."

Xu Jingming gave a simple explanation.

Then he used the two energy modules to fully recharge the two Chi Mang Liu Jin guards.

After that, he took the two girls out for lunch, then went to bathe.

Only then did they go to the bedroom to attend to real business.

The entire villa was under Eva's surveillance.

Though Eva was an intelligent lifeform and entirely under his control,

Xu Jingming always felt it was strange, as if someone were watching him.

So before entering the bathroom, he completely shut off Eva's power.

Perhaps because of their long separation, Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu were unusually eager.

It gave Xu Jingming an excellent experience.

And once satisfied, Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu finally understood:

Why virtual meetings always felt like something was missing...

Because Song Song Qiuyun's father, Song Feng, would arrive in the afternoon.

So Xu Jingming didn't go too far—he took the two girls to bathe after two hours.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, Song Feng finally arrived in Ningnan City.

He arranged a banquet at the city's most luxurious restaurant and invited Xu Jingming.

"Uncle, we're here."

Before six, Xu Jingming arrived at the restaurant's private room with Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu.

The room was over fifty square meters, with a giant round table in the center, piled high with rare delicacies.

Screens and chairs were casually placed, all exuding ancient elegance and fine craftsmanship.

Only two people sat beside the table: one was the imposing Song Feng.

The other resembled Song Feng by seven or eight tenths, but was younger—around thirty-something.

Xu Jingming knew this man: Song Feng's youngest brother, Song Hai.

"Dad, Uncle Wu."

Song Song Qiuyun led Xu Jingming and Jiang Chu over; Jiang Chu nervously greeted:

"Hello, Uncles."

"Hmm, don't be formal—sit down."

Song Feng clearly already knew about Jiang Chu's existence; he nodded with a smile.

This instantly eased Xu Jingming and Jiang Chu's tension.

Song Feng was Song Song Qiuyun's father—if he disapproved of Jiang Chu, it would've been troublesome.

"Uncle, why did you urgently ask to see me?"

After sitting, Xu Jingming cut straight to the point.

"Nothing major—mainly because you, Xiao Ming, brought us a huge order!"

Thinking of the orders that had poured in that morning and afternoon, Song Feng couldn't stop smiling.

"Me?" Xu Jingming didn't understand.

What did Song family orders have to do with him?

"Yes, because of you, Xiao Ming."

Song Feng explained the whole story with a smile.

"These military units don't mean anything else—probably just want to get on your good side early."

"But they had no other way in, so they came to us, the Song family."

Song Feng concluded: "So far, orders placed with our Extreme Equipment total over a hundred billion.

After completion, the profit will be roughly twenty billion.

All these orders came because of you.

So we propose splitting this profit evenly—you take ten billion, we take ten billion.

If more orders come later, we split the profit fifty-fifty again.

What do you think of this arrangement?"
