Returning to Orchid Town from the Black Death Continent, we passed through Baixiang City. Chen Xing stopped on the way. After all, he was considered a disciple of the great scholar Fo Yongqi. There was no reason to pass by the master without visiting his master. By the way, he also wanted to visit Akita.

, if necessary in the future, you can also bring the other party into the partnership.

After picking out a few bottles of good wine and buying some expensive gifts, Chen Xing came to White Tower College, first looked for Akita, and then went to visit Fo Yongqi's home together.

"Classmate Chen, why are you so polite? You don't need to bring anything with you when you come to the teacher, otherwise I will kick you out next time you come." Fo Yongqi said with a smile. The teacher is naturally happy when students come to visit.

"He is a big guard and has no shortage of money. Teacher, please don't be polite to him." Fatty Akita persuaded him from the side.

"Although Mr. Chen is guarding one side, he still needs to find time to study more and improve himself." Fo Yongqi said earnestly.

"The teacher is right, knowledge is the ladder of human progress, and we should never give up learning at any time." Chen Xing nodded and said with a very correct attitude.

"Haha, well said, well said!" Fo Yongqi said with a thumbs up.

The whole afternoon, the three of them had fun and chatted.

"Hackers have become more and more rampant recently. The activities in the past few months have been more frequent than in the past few years." Fo Yongqi suddenly talked about the clear network system. He is the World Network Monitoring Center

As one of the great scholars on duty, he naturally knows these inside information.

From a political point of view, what he said is highly confidential and should not be mentioned on such occasions. But scholars are keen on academic research and are not particularly sensitive to politics. Chen Xing and Akita are his disciples, so they have no precautions.

heart of.

The speaker had no intention of listening, but Chen Xing was very interested and asked, "How could this happen?"

"The reason has not yet been found. Perhaps Nova has been around for too long and the system is old, allowing hackers to figure out the rules and find vulnerabilities that can be exploited," said Fu Yongqi.

"Is there no solution?" Chen Xing asked again.

"We are already debugging the backup master brain. Starting next month, Hella will take over some social systems and serve as Nova's secondary checksum assistant."

Hela is one of the "three major AIs" in the world and exists as Nova's backup mastermind. White Tower Academy rarely mentions Hela. Most people only know about Nova on the clear network and the butler on the dark network.

Chen Xing's pupils shrank slightly. The so-called "secondary verification" is to use HeLa to monitor "Nova" to reduce the error rate.

In other words, Sora needs to be more careful next, otherwise clues will be easily found.

After coming out of Fo Yongqi's house, Chen Xing invited Akita to have dinner at a bar near the college to catch up on old times.

The waitress brought affordable academic snacks, fried potato cubes, fried chicken wings, and fried onion rings. Chen Xing ordered a bottle of the highest-end Kraken red wine. It took a while for the waitress to react and ran into the bar to get it.

liquor.

There is some dust on the wine bottle, it seems that it has been stored for a long time. Very few people in this kind of place can afford to drink Siren, usually it is ordinary manor red wine that costs a few gold coins a bottle.

"Brother Akita, what do you think of the current situation in the country?" Chen Xing asked seemingly casually.

From previous exchanges, Chen Xing knew Akita's origin. He came from the Water Weasel Principality in Ambergris River, and his family was a minor nobleman in Longtongue City.

Dragon Tongue City is even more remote than the mountains. It is located at the uppermost reaches of the Ambergris River, where the north and south of the Dragon Tooth Mountains are separated. Akita went to college in Long Tongue City, then went to the Dragon Tongue City Noble Academy for graduate school, and then to Binglan

I am studying for a Ph.D. at Cheng Noble College, and my resume can be described as a top academic achievement.

The Noble Academy of Ice Blue City is a gathering place for the rich and powerful, but there are very few people studying for doctorates. Most of the children of the rich and powerful will choose to join politics or the military after graduation. They can go to graduate school at most, and there is no need to specialize in academic research.

Therefore, small nobles from remote areas like Akita can also study in the colleges of big nobles, but the prerequisite is that they are good enough.

After graduating from Ice Blue City Noble Academy, Akita was invited to White Tower Academy to follow the great scholar Fo Yongqi. Although he was not good at picking up girls, he was definitely top-notch in academics.

"I don't specialize in this, but I occasionally hear my colleagues talking about it..."

The two things that men like to talk about most are women and politics, and Akita is no exception. They can talk freely over a glass of red wine.

"The domestic situation must be divided into three major parts: the royalist party, the queen's party, and the princess party."

"For now, the royalist party is the most powerful and has the deepest foundation. But once the old king dies, the royalist party will be leaderless and will inevitably fall apart and fight on their own."

"The seven northern kingdoms, Red Dragon and Black Feather are the princess party, Red Rock, Silver Claw, and Black Spear are the royalists, and the positions of the Water Weasels and Cold Ridge are unclear."

"The leader of the Red Rock Kingdom, Bronze Hammer Grantham, is upright and has a fiery temper. He is a die-hard loyalist to the Malan royal family and has a firm stance. The Red Rock Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They are definitely the hardest nut to crack for the Northern Alliance.

"

"Wei Haitang, the leader of the Silver Claw Kingdom, is arrogant and unwilling to be inferior to women. He is also at odds with the Black Feather Principality. It is impossible for him to fall to the Northern Alliance."

"The Lord of the Black Spear Kingdom is a low-key person and rarely appears in public. He once served as the commander of the Royal Guards of the Imperial City and was loyal to Malan 22nd. During his tenure, he married the eldest princess of the Malan royal family. It is rumored that they were a loving couple.

, is unlikely to betray the Malan royal family."

"But the territories of the three royalists are scattered, separated by the Princess Party's Black Feather Principality. Moreover, the three princes have different personalities, dislike each other, and lack of marriage, so it is difficult to unite them."

"The Water Weasel and Hanling Mountains are located on the edge. Their land is mostly mountains and forests. Their overall national strength is weak and their positions are vacillating. Whichever side is stronger will fall to the other side."

"Compared to the north, the situation in the south is more complicated..."

"The ten city-states have never participated in domestic disputes and focused on guarding the Twin Great Walls to defend against enemies from the center. The Principality of Tezera guards the southeast gate and will not easily get involved in disputes."

"River Bird, the White Night Queen's Party has a clear position. The five eastern countries, Lyra, Norton, Red Mulberry, Xiaoyue, and Nice are all connected in the same territory. They are all royalists. They can be united to fight against Cuilis.

the power of."

After some analysis, Akita concluded, "So based on the current situation, I am more optimistic about the Demon Princess of the North."

It has to be said that Akita's analysis of the situation is quite good, and he has a certain degree of understanding of everything from the topography and topography, to the overall national strength, to the relationship between the dignitaries of various countries.

Chen Xing lacks such talents around him. Although he has memories of his previous life, he still has the perspective of a mercenary group captain. Only ordinary people have heard about the upper world, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the false.

"Brother Akita is indeed very knowledgeable and his analysis is very clear and logical." Chen Xing praised sincerely.

"No, no, I'm just hearsay and nonsense. I can only treat it as a pastime after dinner and can't take it seriously." Akita waved his hand and said.

"Brother Akita is so humble." Chen Xing changed the subject and said, "I don't know what brother's plans are in the future. Are you going to stay in White Tower College for further studies?"

"That's pretty much it." Akita said.

"The situation is now turbulent, and Ambergris River is facing a reshuffle. Aren't you ready to go out and work hard?" Chen Xing guided.

"What do you mean, brother?" Akita asked doubtfully.

"I have made a name for myself in Beihuang. I formed the Hanged Skull Alliance and several towns joined together. Now we are lacking everything but talents." Chen Xing said straight to the point.

"Haha..." Akita finally understood that Chen Xing was recruiting him, and shook his head and said, "I study electronic technology, which belongs to the manufacturing industry. I am not very good at management. Even if I go there, I probably won't be able to help.

How busy.”

"That's it..." Chen Xing looked slightly disappointed.

"But..." Akita pondered for a while and said, "Brother, if you really want to compete in the world, I can recommend someone to you."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up, "Who is it?"

"This person is much more powerful than me." Akita looked yearning, "Especially in politics, in front of him, I am like a firefly, the bright moon, and the light of a grain of rice."

When Chen Xing heard this, he was a little excited, clasped his fists and said, "Then Brother Lao can help introduce you."

Although at this stage he has no intention of competing for world supremacy, every man has the dream of competing in the Central Plains. If conditions permit, who wouldn’t want to live a life of being drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman and gaining power in the world?

Perhaps one day, when the time comes, he will lead his troops out of the mountains and create a sky of his own.

Therefore, talents must be reserved in advance.

"It's easy. Just send a message saying there's wine available and people will come over." Akita said confidently, and then added, "If you feel it's inappropriate, just give me two bottles of beer and send it back. It's not a loss."

Come if you have a drink?

Just sent back two bottles of beer?

Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little confused. He came and went as soon as he called him. What kind of big shot was he? He didn't even have the most basic arrogance.

I still thought about visiting the thatched cottage, but I didn't expect that it was just like a wine sack and rice bag cheating food and drink. Compared with Akita's previous description, the gap is really huge.

And the most important thing is, how can a person who rushes to a third-rate bar when he hears that there is alcohol available have contacts with the powerful people in the city?

If you are not in the circle of powerful people, how can you understand the situation?

But Akita is not like a person who can lie. Ever since I came into contact with him, he has been honest and reliable.

Anyway, it's just a matter of two bottles of beer, so I hope you won't be too disappointed.

After a while, the person Akita was talking about came to the bar.

He is very tall, almost 1.9 meters, thin, with disheveled hair, unkempt beard, dirty clothes, smell of alcohol all over his body, droopy eyelids with deep dark circles, and looks like he didn't get enough sleep and drank all night.

"I said..." Akita looked helpless when he saw the other party's sloppy appearance, "Didn't I ask you to dress neatly?"

"Why don't you dress neatly when you drink? That's it." The sloppy man sat down carelessly, as if no one else was around, and patted Akita's thick shoulder directly with his big hand, "We agreed, at least a dozen beers, brother, I haven't slept for several days

I really can’t sleep without some alcohol!”

At this moment, Chen Xing's heart was feeling cold. It was half cold before he saw him, and the other half was cold after seeing him. This careless appearance didn't look like a strategist, but more like a ruffian.

To be honest, the reason why he is still sitting here is entirely to save Akita's face. If it were anyone else, he would have stopped accompanying him long ago.

"Okay, okay, as long as you can satisfy this sponsor, you can drink as much as you want tonight." Akita said to Chen Xing.

"Finance owner?" Only then did the sloppy man notice that there was someone opposite him. He grinned and stretched out his thin and big palm towards Chen Xing, "Lin Shiyuan, nice to meet you!"

The man was very vulgar, but his name was quite elegant, but Chen Xing did not shake hands and just raised his glass in response.

It's not that he judges people by their appearance, but that the other person really doesn't look like a serious person. After all, he is a lord, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary people. It is impossible for him to shake hands with someone who seems to have a problem in such an unexplained way.

"Haha!" The sloppy man was not angry. He retracted his hand, picked up Akita's wine glass, drank it, and made a sound of "Ah", which seemed to be very satisfying.

Akita smiled awkwardly at Chen Xing and explained, "He is like this. He surfs the Internet all day long and has insomnia, but he still has some skills."

"Hey, what are my skills? My skills are drinking, writing two short poems, and chatting about romance." The sloppy man said with a smile, not looking serious.

"Don't be poor, be serious." Akita said seriously.

"Am I not serious?" The sloppy man looked like he was afraid of boiling water. "It's already good that I didn't lie down to talk to you."

"If you want to drink, be more serious!" Akita threatened.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." When he heard that he was helpless, the sloppy man immediately sat up straight, straightened his face, and said with a serious look, "Brother, please tell me!"

"Today we are going to talk about the situation in Ambergris River..." Next, Akita repeated the situation he analyzed in front of Chen Xing exactly, and then asked, "Do you think my analysis is correct?"

The sloppy man smiled and patted Akita on the shoulder, and said regretfully, "Dr. Akita, you are still so naive..."

"Why am I so naive?" Akita's eyes widened and he looked unconvinced. It seemed that such conversations happened often.

"The devil princess is the one in the worst situation..."
