"Hmm, ha..."
Qin, who was working while leaning over the coffee table, exhaled a breath of hot air with some difficulty.
Luo Mu, who was sitting on the sofa, peeked out.
The content on the screen in front of the group leader had long since been changed. Now it was something like a long-term development plan for bilateral relations, a science and technology promotion policy, and so on. In short, it was all stuff that looked very impressive.
However, it's quite noticeable that the content scrolling on the screen now seems much slower than before.
As mentioned before, you can input content onto the light screen using either a projected keyboard or directly through mental energy. However, the former is suitable for all users, including ordinary people, while the latter can only be done by cultivators who have made some progress in mental energy.
This is a very simple reason, and most people can understand it by trying it out themselves.
If you were asked to arrange every single word of what you wanted to say in your mind, and then something happened around you, or even just if you spent a little more time thinking about it, your thoughts might shift, and the original words might turn into something else entirely.
In other words, inputting text with one's mind sounds simple, and it has appeared in many works, but in reality, because human thinking is fuzzy, most of the time we don't even visualize the details, so the actual results of trying it are usually very bad.
The ability to restrain thought, making it concrete and preventing it from wandering, is the foundation of mental cultivation. So even though the light screen has this function, most people still use the keyboard to input.
The reason why Ningguang went to great lengths to reach Lv.4 is largely due to this.
Ah, but having said all that, let's get back to the current question—
The leader was originally processing documents using his mental energy, multitasking at an incredibly high speed, but now his speed has slowed down noticeably. Does that mean...?
Hmm~?
"Buzz-"
"Ok?"
Luo Mu looked up.
Qin felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the phone window that popped up on the screen.
Who would call at this hour?!
Actually, for the team leader's job, taking a few phone calls in an afternoon is perfectly normal, but today is different!
Or rather, things are different now!
"Xiao Mu, you..."
Qin hesitated for a moment, then added with a helpless expression, "Let's be a little more careful."
Luo Mu's face instantly broke into an exceptionally bright smile.
"Okay, Sister Qin!"
"..."
The more happily you agreed, the more anxious I became.
Even though she was thinking this to herself, Qin had no choice but to answer the phone.
"I heard you didn't go to the office this afternoon, Qin?"
An older woman's voice rang out, carrying a light and cheerful tone.
Luo Mu raised his head slightly, somewhat puzzled, since the tone suggested that she was quite familiar with Sister Qin.
But the leader's face was instantly filled with astonishment.
"Mother?!"
"Cough."
Luo Mu almost choked as well.
Then Lisa teased him a little...
No, I was originally expecting lots of fun, but this is such a huge surprise that it's almost frightening! I'm starting to get a little nervous! Only Lisa is just having fun!
"What's wrong? Don't you ever check caller ID? Why are you so surprised to receive my call?"
The voice continued from the other end of the phone, "The video isn't on, and we don't know where you are. I think I heard someone else's voice on your end just now? Qin, you're being very suspicious right now, aren't you?"
As a result, even the usually rational and calm commander became nervous.
Of course, she had her mother's number saved in her contacts, but when she answered the phone just now, all she could think about was what that little rascal was going to do. Anyway, it didn't matter to her who called about work-related matters, but who would have thought it would be her home phone?!
"I'm... really not in a good position right now. Mom, is there something you need?"
Qin stammered and tried to change the subject.
"Hmm~? That's quite rare for Qin."
The mother-in-law said something that made everyone nervous, "You should know very well why I came to see you this time. You must know something about that person who cleared the Twelve Trials this morning, right?"
Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, my mom didn't press me for details. Although this made the subsequent topics even more difficult to avoid, nothing could be worse than her current situation.
"Is this an inquiry from the family?"
Qin calmed down and asked.
"The family certainly values the potential next Lion Fang Knight, but if it were you, Jean, and you felt it necessary to inform the family of relevant information, you would have done so already, right? So I'm just asking if you have any information you can share with us?"
Qin's expression softened slightly.
She carefully considered her tone and word choice before answering:
"I do know something about this trial participant, and I've already made arrangements. Lord Dvalin personally instructed everyone not to reveal any information about this participant at the end of the trial, which is why I haven't explained much to my family. However, I can reveal that Barbara and the participant have a good relationship, and Barbara—"
The phone calls between Sister Qin and her mother-in-law seemed to be on track, and Luo Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then--
He looked at the scene before him, and his expression became a little strange.
He nervously pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, but his eyes couldn't help but dart back to the tissue.
Asking me to stay put is too difficult!
And... at that moment, Sister Lisa raised her head, smiled, and flicked him with her slender fingers.
Luo Mu immediately bared his teeth.
Are you really going to do it?
He exchanged glances with Lisa.
Even the little rascal was scared?
Well... after all, Sister Qin was on the phone with her mother-in-law.
He said awkwardly.
Lisa raised an eyebrow.
Then don't even think about coming to find me, okay? I'm still exhausted.
this--
Luo Mu was speechless.
No, we're already at the point where we can't hold back anymore!
So, so... I'm sorry, Mother-in-law!
He quietly supported the waist of Sister Qin, who was engrossed in her phone call.
Qin: —?
On it!
Qin: --? ? ! !
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 514 Qin: Send!
Qin, who was lying on the coffee table, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes widening in disbelief.
What is this little rascal doing?!
The regimental commander, regaining his senses, was both ashamed and angry.
I told you to be careful, and this is how you show concern? I was talking to my mom on the phone!
result--
Luo Mu silently used a basic attack.
Qin: Gu!
The guild leader immediately backed down.
Regardless of whether it's wise to avoid trouble, even the regimental commander wouldn't dare to be stubborn in this situation.
"Sigh, Qin, you're great in every way, but sometimes you're too great. I don't even know how to find you a partner."
On the other end of the phone, my mother-in-law was still sighing, "If I were to go out and say I was setting up a blind date for the regimental commander, I'd probably scare away quite a few guys. And you, Qin, aren't young anymore—"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm at work right now!"
Qin couldn't hold back any longer and loosened her grip, raising the volume.
Could my mom be in cahoots with that little rascal behind me?! And why bring this up now of all times!
Luo Mu, who is giving the group leader a massage, is also having a hard time keeping up.
Even the leader of the group can't escape being pressured to get married, right?
That's amazing, Mother-in-law.
"Work hours? Qin, didn't you take the afternoon off?"
My mother-in-law asked in return, somewhat puzzled.
Qin fell silent.
I forgot!
She had never asked for leave before; she was already working, and because Luo Mu had distracted her, she completely forgot about it for a short while.
"Just because I didn't go to the office doesn't mean I'm okay!"
Qin tried her best to defend herself.
Then, he couldn't help but reach behind and pinch Luo Mu's hand.
Give me some more time! Why aren't you stopping at a time like this? Are you thinking of... *sigh*
Qin immediately covered her lips tightly, and even her face involuntarily sank down a little, revealing a breathtaking arc on her entire back.
He chuckled and grabbed the leader's delicate hand, tickling it gently in her soft palm. The leader immediately pulled away.
At least he fought hard and won in the end, so he has some experience and skills to win, or rather, he has grasped some of the leader's weaknesses.
Now that the commander can't retaliate, he probably hasn't figured out who's manipulating whom yet, hmph.
That was awesome!
"Is that so? But Qin, if you really had something important to do, you wouldn't have chatted with me for so long, would you? Even though it was your mother on the phone, you would hang up without hesitation if there was nothing important to do while you were working. Haha, that's just the kind of troublesome personality my daughter has."
My mother-in-law's voice continued to ring out as usual, completely oblivious to my presence.
It seems like there's quite a story between Sister Qin and her mother-in-law. And her mother-in-law doesn't seem to be the serious type. I wonder how Sister Qin became so earnest.
As he thought about it, he reached out and pinched the commander's butt.
No response.
Qin has indeed behaved herself now. After all, no matter how you look at it, it wouldn't do her any good to be tough with the little rascal behind her at this time.
It was just the time it takes to make a phone call, so I'll just have to put up with it!
Qin adjusted her breathing slightly and returned the call in a steady voice:
"So, if you don't have anything else, Mom, I'll hang up now."
While giving the guild leader a massage, Luo Mu peeked at the guild leader's profile from behind, while simultaneously unleashing a three-hit combo of basic attacks followed by a heavy attack!
Qin: ...
Wow, there's not even a slight reaction?
