"Actually, since I sat down just now, I felt that you had a special breath, but I never knew what it was." Xiao Shili poured wine for the old man, "I knew that when you just talked about science, I just said that
Suddenly I thought that you were wearing this white shirt, just like the white coat you wore when a scientist did experiments. It was your unique temperament, telling me that you are a scientist."
"Haha." The old man finally raised his head and laughed loudly, "Boy, I have you, that's right. If a person is engaged in a certain industry for too long, he will naturally bring the atmosphere of this industry."
“How long have you been in science?”
"Haha, it's not long or short, it's been more than forty years."
"That's most of his life." Xiao Shili was surprised. Forty years, it included many of the best times in life, but some people were willing to devote him completely to science.
"Yes, now I'm old and I don't have the energy to do it anymore." The old man narrowed his eyes, "The treasure criticism of fate cheating may be the last time I created in my life."
"Don't say that, you are so energetic, and it's more than enough to work for ten or eight years." Xiao Shili comforted the old man a few words and said, "You said this treasure mirror is just an experimental product, so you
Why not finish it?"
As soon as I said that, I felt a little stupid. People said it was an experimental product, and it was obviously just for the experiment.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and showed a lonely expression on his face, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but the issue of funds. I have studied fate cheating treasure arc for twenty-five years. In these twenty-five years, my wife
I ran away with someone else, but my only daughter doesn't recognize me now. Before my father died, I left me a lot of inheritance, and it's all over now. With my age, I'm so so ah, everything has come to this point.
”
When I heard this, the old man was really pitiful, but ordinary people who are extraordinary will also get rid of him in the world. Xiao Shili thought for a moment and asked, "If you continue your research until the finished product is born, how much does it take.
Funds?” Although I feel that even if I ask, I don’t have any hope, at least this is the only one I can help.
The old man smiled and stretched out five fingers.
"Fifty million?"
The old man shook his head.
"Five million?"
"At least." The old man nodded.
Five hundred million is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for me, but it is nothing to a rich man in the country or even the upper class.
Xiao Shili was a little confused, "Then why did you give me such a valuable thing? You can apply for the state to invest in research for you. Such a magical machine will definitely attract the attention of the state."
"The young people's ideas are still a bit too simple." The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to? Of course, my research is not for myself. I have been to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Patent Office, but everyone sees me
I wanted to look at the madman again. Those leaders and specialists were not in the mood to listen to my explanation. In addition, I have been away from my original unit for more than ten years and have no relatives. The government almost sent me to a mental hospital.
Now.”
"Then you can sell it to a private person, at least you can live a worry-free life for the rest of your life."
"Haha, my old man's wife is separated and he has spent his whole life. Is it just for money?"
Xiao Shili nodded. The old man did this naturally to keep his name in fame and let the whole world remember him. But he still didn't understand why he got the treasure appraisal. He didn't think it was a coincidence or any special talent he had. It was all the plots in martial arts novels.
The old man saw the question in the boy's eyes and sighed softly, "Actually, my life had reached the end that day. The research that had worked so hard for a lifetime was in no way, and he could only make a living by selling old books. When the urban management team came to throw me up the old man's book stall, I had already fought with them with a heart of dying. If it weren't for you, I might have died in the detention center now. I thought about it, no matter whether I die or not, the crystal that I had worked hard for half my life disappeared in this world, and you happened to be a suitable object. Although I don't know if you will or whether you can use it, I hope that it can bring some changes to your life, and it is regarded as the final value of my life."
After listening to the old man's words, Xiao Shili couldn't say sad, but he was a little uncomfortable, so he said, "If you regret it now, I can return the treasure mirror to you."
"No need." The old man waved his hand before he finished speaking, "Although I am not talented, the decision will not change."
After saying that, the old man stood up and smiled at Xiao Shili, "Thank you, young man, I'll treat me to this wine today, we'll have a date later."
Before Xiao Shili could react, the old man had already walked into the night. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "I will tell you another little secret. Among the six words "Fate Cheating Treasure Mirror" on the cover of the book, there is a point of the word "Treasure" and you can click it to see what will happen."
Xiao Shili knew that he could not keep the old man, so he quickly stood up and asked, "Old man, there is another last question. Why does Baojian sometimes fail to respond when I complete a good or bad thing?"
"Haha, the ancients said that sincerity is spiritual, so understand it well." The old man's figure slowly disappeared into the dim lights along the curb.
Xiao Shili sat down slowly, and did not try to keep him or ask the old man's address. He knew that such an elder who was detached from the world would not accept any favors from him unless he had the ability to continue to complete the research on the treasure arc.
"Boss, check out."
"Oh." The boss walked over while wiping his hands. "Add beer, it's 118 yuan and 60 cents in total. Haha, now many young people don't know how to spend more time with the elderly. The young man will spend time with his grandfather, even if you're 118 yuan."
"What?" Xiao Shili was stunned for a moment. There were only 118 yuan in his wallet, but the dishes were ordered by the old man.
"Yes, that's right." The boss thought the young man felt something was wrong, so he took the bill and told him everything...
