Interstellar Tattered Queen

"yes."

"I'm Cheng Yu." Ada nodded, and tentatively asked: "Excuse me, is Mr. Dodge unable to make an appointment at 1:10? Or... can't meet all day today? I... …I mean, if it works, I can wait and see him when he's done."

The receptionist smiled, but still ruthlessly refused: "Sorry, I don't have time all day today."

Ah Da, that is, Cheng Yu was very disappointed, but he still held a sliver of expectation and said, "If Mr. Dodge is free tomorrow, I can come back tomorrow."

The receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you want to continue to make an appointment with Mr. Dodge, please follow the normal procedure to apply. It's not easy for me to directly agree to it."

The so-called normal procedure is to send an email to Mr. Dodge’s assistant first, and wait for the review. After the review, the assistant will hand it over to Mr. Dodge. Mr. Dodge thinks the content of the other party’s email is more interesting. Arrange another time to meet.

...

With this whole set of procedures, basically we have to wait for the first half of the year before we have a chance to meet Master Dodge.

Before Cheng Yu, he had made an appointment with Master Dodge according to the normal procedures, but his luck was so bad that on this day, it happened that Master Dodge had something to do and couldn't meet him.

If you miss this time, go through the process again... When will it be scheduled?

The disappointment in Cheng Yu's heart could no longer be concealed, and he said with a face full of disappointment, "But...can you accommodate me?"

The receptionist shook his head and said, "No."

A fire suddenly burned in Cheng Yu's heart, but—he couldn't vent it at all. Offending a well-known master horcrux maker was more serious than offending a world-renowned mech maker.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

Helpless—Cheng Yu could only leave the Dodge Research Institute full of loss and disappointment.

Mickey Dodge is a horcrux maker. The so-called horcrux maker, as the name implies, is someone who can create horcruxes. The conditions are very difficult, making it impossible for humans to obtain it easily. But there is a kind of people whose spiritual magnetic field is very compatible with Horcruxes. As long as they master the appropriate method, they can rely on this advantage to artificially create Horcruxes.

As mentioned earlier, Horcruxes can effectively improve the spiritual power of human beings, and can even break the barriers between levels, so that a person with an original talent of E can have the opportunity to upgrade to F-level, E-level, D-level, C-level, C-level, etc. Grade B... Therefore, even if it is a man-made, expendable Horcrux, it is still a rare treasure.

In this world, not everyone is willing to become a fighting talent, driving a mech, stepping onto the battlefield to fight star beasts and enemy troops... But everyone definitely wants to be a person with high mental strength and physical fitness!

Because there are too many things in life that require high mental strength and physical fitness. If you don't meet the required threshold, you can only be stopped at the door...

so what?

There is also a saying in the interstellar world: Mecha makers can be met, but Horcrux makers are hard to come by.

This also reflected the lofty status of the Horcrux maker.

Mickey Dodge is such a noble and famous Horcrux maker. Wanting to make an appointment to see him, willing to hold up a lot of money and send it to him, just asking him to give him face and tailor a suitable Horcrux for him, there are too many, too many people.

Cheng Yu's talent is very low. Although he came from a wealthy family, because his mother was from a local noble family on a remote planet, this also lowered his status virtually. Even so, Cheng Yu is not short of money. Fei Li met Master Mickey Dodge, mainly because he wanted to ask Master Dodge to order a Horcrux for him——

However—suffering from the fact that he has no connections to directly catch up with Master Mickey Dodge,

So he had to honestly line up to make an appointment in advance. He had to wait in line for more than a year before making an appointment.

Can--

After queuing up for so long, I had to say a light and fluffy word, and I didn't even see Master Dodge's face. The time, energy, and money spent in the early stage...all of it was in vain.

It was impossible for Cheng Yu to say in his heart that he would not complain.

The receptionist kept smiling and continued, "Mr. Cheng, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first."

The reception hall is not a place where idlers can stay for a long time, so the receptionist has already begun to politely issue orders to evict guests.

"Okay." Cheng Yu smiled, but his heart was as stiff as ice.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Master Dodge coming out of a lounge. His steps were light, with a smile on his face, and he was walking in one direction.

Cheng Yu followed that direction, and when he looked at it, his face darkened.

turn out to be--

Master Dodge rejected the meeting with him, and the distinguished guest who went to meet him in person turned out to be his half-brother Cheng Kun.

Cheng Yu's mother died when Cheng Yu was two years old, and his father remarried later, marrying a daughter from a high family who was in the same family as him. Afterwards, his stepmother gave birth to Cheng Kun. Unlike Cheng Yu, Cheng Kun was gifted since childhood. Outstanding, just over twenty years old now, he is already a genius with double S in mental strength and physical fitness! Among the younger generation of the entire league, they are very well-known.

But—in private, Cheng Kun is a narrow-minded person who cares about pennies and pennies.

this--

Cheng Yu suddenly realized that his meeting with Master Dodge was obviously deliberately sabotaged.

Not surprisingly.

Not surprising at all.

Although the two were brothers, they were not born to the same mother. Coupled with his father's preference, Cheng Yu's situation in the Cheng family was very embarrassing. On the surface, Cheng Kun was very respectful to his brother, but in fact he made things difficult for Cheng Yu.

During the more than ten years of being brothers, under the same roof, Cheng Yu and Cheng Kun had countless conflicts, large and small.

Cheng Kun kept all the accounts in his heart, and whenever he got the chance, he wanted to torment Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu had no intention of staying in the Cheng family and being abused. When he became an adult, he got his share of the family property and left the family to make a living on his own.

After that, he had little contact with the Cheng family, father, stepmother, Cheng Kun and others.

Cheng Yu didn't expect that his younger brother was still sending people to watch him, arbitrarily destroying the possibility of improving his mental strength and physical fitness... because Cheng Kun wanted to make himself an eternal waste.

Not far away, there is a picture of Master Dodge and Cheng Kun in harmony...

"Mr. Cheng, please leave quickly." Seeing that Cheng Yu hadn't left, the receptionist directly issued an order to evict the guest.

With a dark face, Cheng Yu left the Dodge Research Institute with a heavy heart.
