"The customer is interested in the gold-threaded stomach bag?" Pixi asked curiously when he saw Angel staring at the display stand.
Angel smiled, "This is the first time I have seen space props transplanted into the body, and I am indeed very curious. But compared to the exhibits, I am actually more interested in your method of "inventing concepts in exchange for investment."
.”
What Angel said was just to express his own opinion, but Pixi felt inexplicably comfortable listening to it.
It's as if everything from products to concepts has been recognized.
Because of this, Pixi originally just wanted to find a random topic to avoid being left in the cold; but now, he seriously chatted with Angel about the origin of the booth investment.
"This "investment in the concept of invention" was actually proposed by Pikachu, the greatest sage in the history of Pilusi. At that time, Sage Pikachu proposed the concept of revitalizing the Pilusi tribe through "invention and creation".
, but for a while, it didn’t get much support."
"Because many Pilusi people don't know the changes that inventions and creations can bring to their lives."
"So, Sage Pikachu launched the 'You Invent, I Invest,' national campaign."
"When the people of Pilusiu get real crystals in their hands, they will have real perceptions."
Angel: "Did Sage Pikachu fund this event with his own money?"
Pixi nodded, "That's right. At that time, no one thought that Sage Pikachu could change Piluxiu's situation. Even the nobles were not willing to pay for this small hope. Therefore, Sage Pikachu spent most of his life's money.
, came to hold such a national event."
"This event was ridiculed by everyone at the beginning. Moreover, many low-level homeless people used all kinds of ridiculous words to deceive the sage."
"It caused a lot of crystals to flow out, but it didn't bring any return."
"But the sage has not given up and continues to support inventions. As long as you come up with an invention concept, even if it is not very good, he will give you crystals."
"Because of the perseverance of the sage, many people were moved. Slowly, some people began to make inventions, and they really tinkered with a lot of things. Even though they were not as good as the inventions of the sage Pikachu, they also inspired a lot of people.
The vitality of folk invention continues to this day.”
Angel originally didn't have much idea about the late sage Picaxiu, but now that he heard Pixi's story, he admired this sage very much in his heart.
Who would have thought that in a group with a generally bad character that had been bad for countless years, such a great sage would be born who would change the world.
Not only did he discover Pilusiu's inventive talent, he also worked hard to change the status of the entire ethnic group. What he did was enough to bless all generations.
Changing positions, even if Angel sat in Pikachu's position, even if he wanted to change Pilusi's status, it would be difficult to find a starting point.
The fact that Pikachu was able to achieve this on his own has to be deeply admired.
Angel said, "Perhaps, those who laughed at him at the beginning and those who deceived activity funds were all seen by him."
Pixi "...Why do the guests say that?"
Angel: "With Pikachu's wisdom and foresight, how could he not see the dust in front of him?"
Pixi was silent for two seconds and asked, "Why do you think the guest didn't name Sage Pikaxiu but still willingly paid for it?"
Angel smiled, "As for the answer, I think you should know it."
Pi Xi did not speak, but looked at the Pilusi scholars who were talking eloquently on the display stage, and then looked at the square full of inventions and the long queues of people of all races in the square.
Without the sage Pikaxiu, today's prosperity would never be visible.
He whispered, "Qizhi."
In that national activity that was ridiculed, criticized, and deceived at the beginning, he not only made Pilusiu understand the invention, but also enlightened Pilusiu and the whole people.
This is a real enlightenment event.
Even if you are deceived, even if you are laughed at, as long as a cluster of fireworks is lit, it can set the entire grassland on fire.
And arrive
When the stars and flames fill the sky, deceivers and scoffers will also become the beneficiaries of enlightenment. Even if they themselves are stubborn and refuse to admit it, when their descendants have to face choices, they may let their descendants embark on the road of invention.
, instead of their old way of cheating.
Others see temporary gains and losses, but Sage Pikachu sees a potentially shining future.
This is true love and a great wish for Piluxiu's future.
Therefore, how could Sage Pikachu care about being cheated?
Pixi "The Grand Duke once said that the activities started by Sage Picaxiu were an intellectual enlightenment activity. In the past, I only had a one-sided understanding, but today I see a different situation."
Pixi had actually wondered how Sage Pikachu could be deceived, but he never thought about it deeply. Now that Angel suddenly mentioned it, he actually realized it.
Originally, Pixi was very pleased with Angel, but now he looked at Angel with more admiration.
"Speaking of which." Pixi pointed to the display stand. "Now, the 'investment invention' that the guests see is actually an improved version introduced by Archduke Pixiu."
There are not many improvements. The inventor is still Pi Luxiu, and the concept of investing in inventions has not changed. The only thing that has changed is: the investors.
In the past, there was only Pilusiu, both as an investor and as an inventor.
The so-called "investment in invention" is just an internal cycle.
But things are different now. Foreigners have been introduced to invest. In this way, the interests will be greater and the financial pressure will be reduced, which is very good for the development of Pilusiu.
However, the risks are greater than in the past. After all, losses were an internal matter in the past. Now once Waterloo is invented, it is very likely to cause a diplomatic incident.
But the high risk is not without its benefits, as it allows Pilusi to establish good relations with all races faster.
So, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After finishing speaking, Pixi looked at the lively display stand and said with a little emotion, "Back when Sage Picaxiu was launching the national activity of "You invented it, I invested in it," he often said one sentence."
"——Inventions can create value."
"But it never came to fruition."
"Now, the Grand Duke has improved this activity and really made it possible for inventions to create value, but..." Pixi's eyes darkened slightly, "It's a pity that Sage Pikachu passed away before he could see this scene."
Angel "Maybe I have some regrets, but Pikachu may have foreseen the current situation."
Pixi turned to look at Angel.
Angel continued, "When Pikachu proposed that inventions can create value, he must have been very clear that with Pilucci's current external reputation, there was no way he could create value. But he still mentioned this concept because he
It is clear that once the "invention and path are carried out, Pilusiu's reputation will slowly change."
"Until all races can accept Pilusiu's creation, the value will overflow."
"And this... takes time."
Pikachu knew very well that he could not wait for this day, but he drew this pie for all Piluxiu.
So many years have passed.
Although today's Piluxiu is still hated by all races, their inventions and creations have been recognized.
Therefore, when someone in Pilu Xiu proposed using an inventive concept to obtain venture capital, all races would be willing to participate.
There is regret, but there is nothing we can do about it.
...time waits for us not.
Angel's words were not actually intended to comfort Pixi. It was simply out of respect for Pixiu that he spoke with emotion.
But his emotion moved Pi Xi very much.
He felt...acknowledged again.
"Before, the Grand Duke once said that all the tribes in the Mirror Realm still have colored glasses towards Pilu Xiu. The prejudice makes it difficult for them to face up to Pi Lu Xiu's changes."
"Sir, you are from the outside world. Because you have not lived in the Mirror Realm for a long time, you have no prejudice and can see Pilusiu's advantages more objectively."
Proclaim it once, Pi
Xi didn't even use the term "guest", but directly addressed him as "sir" to show respect. This shows that his inner view of Angel has changed drastically from the initial one.
However, when Angel heard Pixi's words, he didn't take it seriously. He even said silently in his heart: Piluxiu does have advantages, but his shortcomings are more obvious...
Look at the vendors with bad attitudes and think about the guards who are deceitful and afraid of force.
Even though the top Pilouchi have gotten rid of the low-level taste, most of the Pilouchi at the bottom have not changed their fundamental nature. Under such circumstances, there is still a long way to go to eliminate the prejudice against Pilouchi from all races.
.
Out of politeness, Angel did not speak out what was in his heart, but others were not so polite.
A cold snort sounded from the side, "Pilu Xiu has indeed changed. But, why do I feel that it has changed for the worse?"
Angel looked back and saw Luigi walking through the crowd and walking towards them quickly with long strides.
Luigi walked up to Pi Xi and said expressionlessly: "Don't blame others for their prejudice. How does that blind Pi Pi treat his guests? He kicks people without saying a word and blacklists them. This is also called getting better.
?」
When Pixi heard someone singing a different tune, he originally wanted to argue a few words, but when he saw that the person coming was Luigi...the person he was in debt to, he immediately withered.
In addition, they did get it right this time. The customer service person named Pippi Blind did some mysterious operations and offended the big boss Luigi.
Pixi could only accept the scolding.
Seeing that Pixi lowered his head, Luigi didn't bother to scold anymore, but looked at Angel: "What are you going to do now? Go to see Pilu Xiu's specialties first, or... go meet someone?"
"Going to meet someone? Who?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Luigi didn't show off and said bluntly, "Pica Sage."
"Aren't you interested in the Eye of Thunder? I asked about this thing just now. It is kept by Sage Pika." Luigi "If you want to see the Eye of Thunder, you can only go to him, and..."
In the middle of speaking, Luigi hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Angel's ear and whispered, "Besides, Laplace has synchronized with me what happened to you just now... You can talk to the sage about this matter."
explain."
Regarding the arrival of the calamity puppet Hulifa, Angel personally thinks that Gleipnir's method is quite good. He first conquers the mirror dragon, and then relies on the reputation of the Hundred Dragon Kingdom to advertise to all races.
But after thinking about it, he realized that it was not a big deal to reveal the news to some ethnic groups in advance.
The premise is that this ethnic group has a wise leader, otherwise chaos will easily occur.
There are currently two leaders of Piluxiu: Sage Pixiu and Grand Duke Piluxiu. Angel does not know what their personalities are like, but as a descendant of Piluxiu, and Luigi also respects Piluxiu Sage,
Maybe you can go take a look?
As for whether you want to discuss it in detail after reading it, that's another matter.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Okay."
After a pause, Angel said again: "Are you going to go with us? Are you not going to find that person... to cause trouble?"
"The person who blocked me is called Pippi Blind." Luigi "As the name suggests, he is not only blind, but also blind in heart. I have already looked for him."
"You found him? Is it over?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Luigi had been clamoring to take action when he was found, but he hadn't been stationed in Piluxiu for long, so he had already beaten him so quickly?
Luigi snorted coldly, "It's not over yet. I'll find him first and give him a mark. Then I'll go and touch him when I have time."
Angel: "???"What kind of operation is this?
Luigi "I figured it out when I came here. Instead of giving him a beating to relieve his anger, it's better to let him be frightened all day long and scare him for a few days. Otherwise, it will be easier for him."
Angel"..."
…
Although Angel had decided to go to see Sage Pika, the plan could not keep up with the change. When they arrived at Sage Pika's residence, the Pilusi guards at the door stopped them.
according to the road their
According to the theory, Sage Pika is currently talking with a senior member of the Jingmu Clan.
You can't go in at the moment.
Through Pixi, they learned that the reason why Pika Sage brought all the Thunder Eyes this time was actually entrusted by the Jingmu Clan.
"The Crystal Eyes clan not only wants to have a crystal shell with unparalleled defense, but also wants to obtain the eyes of thunder with powerful attacks." Luigi shrugged, "I don't know what the senior leaders of the Crystal Eyes clan are going to do, but they are very ambitious anyway."
"I guess they can't reach an agreement in a day. If you want to buy the Eye of Thunder, it's impossible without heavy bleeding." When Luigi said this, he looked at Pixi aside: "Besides, Pika Sage will not fight with them.
During the negotiation, it is Pi Xi who actually negotiates the price. He has not met with the Jingmu clan yet, so when we really want to reach an agreement, it probably won’t happen until the end of the party.”
Pixi nodded and bowed, not daring to answer.
However, although he did not speak, he observed a phenomenon: both Luigi and Laplace seemed to attach great importance to the declaration of human wizards?
Who will his identity be?
If it were in the past, Pixi might not care about the identity of a human being. But Angel's words were so appealing to him that they also made him curious about Angel's identity.
Angel didn't know what Pixi was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't think anything of it, he would just say so.
His identity may be very famous in the Southern Territory, but in the Mirror Territory... he is just an unknown passerby.
"I just heard you and Pixi say that you are interested in the gold stomach bag? How about we go to the market to have a look first and come back later?"
