Zhang Nuoan also has a bad temper, especially since this accident caused a large number of casualties.
As the main person in charge, he needs to bear great responsibilities and things like compensation, although there are departments and Zion Progressives to handle it.
But as a researcher, his main scientific research funds, project expenses, etc. will definitely be greatly cut.
This is the time when he is short of money. After what happened last time, his relationship with Xu Le has basically become very strained. If he asks him to pay money, wouldn't that be like cutting his own flesh and blood
"Aili, before making this request, you should also consider our current situation."
"What do you mean by we? You are you, I am me, there is no we."
Rewi took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Zhang Nuoan took the letter puzzled.
"Report letter."
"Who are you reporting?"
"Report you." Ai Li said expressionlessly.
Zhang Nuoan staggered. He opened the letter and found that it contained many of his past illegal experiments and accidents.
All these things he had done before, but most of them avoided Ai Li. How did she know
"You secretly investigated me before?"
Ai Li suddenly took a deep breath and nodded:
"I've waited so long but there's still no result. I have to leave myself a way out."
"Aili, we don't have to do this. Who did you give the letter to?"
As expected, Zhang Nuoan cared more about these letters of denunciation and didn't even care why he kept these letters. Ai Li's eyes became a little dim. He didn't know when their relationship had reached this point.
Is it because of Li Qingcheng? No, it's not. Even if there is no Li Qingcheng, there will still be Zhang Qingcheng and Wang Qingcheng.
It was just a reason to get rid of her, and even in the end, no reason was needed.
"Not yet, but I have written many similar letters, ready to give at any time, if you know what I mean."
Zhang Nuoan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was slightly relieved when he heard that Ai Li did not hand over the letter.
"Aili, have you forgotten our original ideals?"
"I haven't forgotten. You have always been my original ideal. All the things that came after were just made up in my mind.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that some things are not as important as I thought. In fact, I haven’t figured out a lot during this period of time. There is only one thing that I really figured out. "
Zhang Nuoan pondered for a moment:
"What did you figure out?"
"Although I don't like this name, it is undeniable that this sentence is really correct. There is no good result for licking dogs."
Zhang Nuoan was stunned for a moment. Was this a self-deprecating statement by Rewi Alley
"Sorry, I'll find a way to deal with the money issue. Once I have the conditions..."
"Wrong, it's not about finding a way, but about doing it immediately, right now."
"Aili, why are you so aggressive?"
Zhang Nuoan felt very bad. The two of them were too familiar with each other. If this situation occurred, Rewi Alley herself would become a risk and burden to him.
She... might as well have died in the grave!
"I'm just helping others get what they deserve."
"us… "
"I said, there is no us anymore, you are you and I am me, get the money ready, I will come and get it."
Ai Li did not continue to pester her. She was a little afraid that she would cry, so she decided to find a place where no one was around to stay for a while.
Be quiet for a while.
…
In the tavern, Xu Le glared at Ding Ke.
"Poisoning the master? Adding chicken legs to the ritual? I didn't expect you to be this kind of cat."
"Humph, you only know how to feed your cat cat food, how can you be so embarrassed?"
Xu Le looked at Ding Ke in front of him, and suddenly imagined that this guy always watched him when he took a bath. For a moment, his scalp tingled.
Not only do they take a bath, they also sleep together, kiss, hug, and lift each other up...
Although that is the daily life of pets, the nature of things changes when your cat becomes a human!
What Xu Le can think of, can Ding Ke not think of it
So the atmosphere between the two of them quickly became very awkward, so awkward that they were unable to speak.
"Or, let's talk about warlocks." Xu Le suggested.
"That's what I meant." Ding Ke also laughed awkwardly.
With the beginning, the awkwardness between the two eased a little. Xu Le looked at the drink in front of him and felt a little distressed. What kind of drink does a cat drink? Can't he learn it at home
"Since you've been exposed, why don't you just go home?"
"I want to drink happy water."
"What happy water do cats drink?"
"Just ask if you will give it to me!"
I brought two boxes of happy water back to the studio. When I met Yi Xiaoya at the door, the old woman laughed strangely:
"Hehehe, what is coming will eventually come."
Xu Le and Ding Ke seemed a little embarrassed, but neither of them said anything. Perhaps they were not used to each other's identities.
Back in the bedroom, Ding Ke didn't waste any time. She took out a pen and paper and began to explain to Xu Le the precautions regarding the forbidden warlock.
"Xu Le, what do you think is the greatest characteristic of a forbidden warlock?"
Xu Le pondered for a moment and expressed his deepest feelings:
"Lando?"
"Huh?" Ding Ke was stunned, not understanding what Xu Le meant.
"It means being able to use the power of ancient sounds as spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is abundant and broad, and there are few constraints in combat. It does not have the limitations of ordinary warlocks who have less spiritual energy."
Xu Le's explanation made Ding Ke hesitate.
"The psychic power of the forbidden warlock... Xu Le, do you have a lot of psychic power?"
"Uh, not much?" Xu Le suddenly felt that there was an information gap between them.
"Taboo Warlocks do have the conditions to build additional psychic energy storage, such as the Ancient Sound Multi-Core, but you haven't built the Ancient Sound Multi-Core yet? You haven't even actively detonated your emotions."
Xu Le was silent for a few seconds:
"Maybe I was born with supernatural powers?"
Ding Ke wondered, most of Xu Le’s training started after he met her, so was he really special
"Maybe you do have more psychic power than others."
"Well, I also think that my spiritual energy is a little more than others, just a little more."
“But what I want to say is that during the practice of forbidden warlocks, they will inevitably come into contact with ancient sounds, red moons, and mental energy.
In the next period of time, while I am still awake, we will start with the detailed classification and control of mental energy. "
"good."
"You should know that mental energy can be controlled, and you can even use it as a weapon.
In addition to integrating mental energy into attacks, there are some more detailed methods, subtle mixing, interference, and guidance. This method can be used on oneself or on the enemy..."
With someone to teach him, Xu Le naturally studied wholeheartedly, and when one studies seriously, time usually passes quickly.
Xu Le was quite serious, so before the blink of an eye, it was already night time during their teaching.
It's time to go to bed...
But the question now is, how to sleep? Should we still sleep together
Take a bath together
"Ahem, I'm going to take a shower."
"Yeah." Ding Ke lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Le washed up as usual, but when he came out, Ding Ke was gone.
"Going to sleep next door? That's fine too."
After studying for a whole day, Xu Le's head was buzzing. He needed to lie down and digest what Ding Ke had taught him during the day.
After digesting for a while, Xu Le felt sleepy.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Xu Le suddenly heard the door open and a soft body crawled into the bed.
The weather in November was already very cold. After Ding Ke got into bed, she stuck to Xu Le and felt a little cold.
Xu Le hesitated for a moment:
"Ding Ke?"
"Meow!"
Okay, this is not the sound of a cat at all, but it doesn’t matter. Since I’m here, I might as well just sleep.
Perhaps because Xu Le didn't move at all, after a while, someone put Xu Le's hand on himself and then put his head in Xu Le's arms.
Xu Le's brows twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end. The two of them fell asleep quietly.
…
the next day.
Ai Li took the 55,000 yuan and came to the Rose Studio on his own initiative.
As soon as I got here, I saw Yi Xiaoya sitting at the door basking in the sun.
"Hello, Miss Yi Xiaoya, is Xu Le here?"
"Xu Le, he's probably studying. If you want to find him, go in and find him yourself. He's on the second floor, hehe."
"Thanks."
This was not her first time here, but it was her first time entering the studio.
Following Yi Xiaoya's instructions, Ai Li took the money and went to the second floor.
Her hearing was very strong, so she easily heard the conversation between Xu Le and Ding Ke. Judging from the content, they should be some kind of sorcerer's teaching.
Ding Ke in the room also felt Ai Li's arrival. She stared at the door and then heard a knock.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in."
Ai Li pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Ding Ke and Xu Le, she didn't show any strange expression.
But Xu Le quickly stood up because he had already smelled the scent of money:
"Ms. Rewi Alley is here. Come on, come on, take a seat. Ding Ke, go get Ms. Rewi Alley a glass of water..."
Xu Le glanced at Ding Ke, who was unmoved, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
"Forget it, I'll just go pour it myself."
Ai Li looked at the enthusiastic Xu Le and had no way of connecting him with the man who rode a toad and fought against angels.
But the fact is that they are the same person.
"Don't bother. I came here today just to give you the money."
When Xu Le heard about the money, he immediately smiled:
"Thank you so much, Ms. Ai Li. I feel so embarrassed for what you have done. How about I treat you to a meal?"
As Xu Le spoke, he did not forget to poke Ding Ke beside him, meaning that it’s okay if you don’t say thank you, but don’t glare at me!
When Ding Ke heard that Xu Le wanted to treat the other party to a meal, her eyebrows were almost twisted together, but she also knew that the other party was giving her money.
People who send money cannot be offended, because the family is poor... After all, she is the one who will live with Xu Le.
Ai Li looked at Xu Le's polite expression and Ding Ke's troubled face, and said calmly:
"You don't have to treat me to a meal. This matter is not without benefits to me."
"Huh?" Xu Le was puzzled.
"After I did what you said, in addition to getting your money back, they also drafted a report for my promotion. I should be able to get promoted soon."
"That's great, congratulations."
"Thanks."
Ai Li actually didn't expect that after working in a more compromising state, he would be promoted so quickly...
"Okay Xu Le, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Ms. Ai Li, please walk slowly and be careful on the road!"
Xu Le stood at the window and watched Reggie leave. After she left, Ding Ke stood beside him and whispered:
"The dog smell on you before was exactly the same as on her."
"Forehead?"
"You got another dog out there?"
"How could you have such an idea? Am I that kind of person?"
"snort."
…
With more than 50,000 yuan in start-up capital, the studio's research and development finally got on the right track in the following period of time.
The creation of the mental energy mask is inseparable from Levis's serious attitude, but the most important thing is money and Xu Le's ancient Yinduo leaves.
Life in the Rose Studio has entered a relatively stable phase.
Xu Le followed Ding Ke to catch up on sorcerer knowledge, systems, and the use of techniques.
Levis worked diligently to manufacture masking devices, waiting for the opportunity for the studio to rise.
Xu Le has also been thinking during this period, who should he give the mental energy mask to
It is already certain that we will make use of the military channels; the key is in which direction to proceed.
Uncle Xu Weiwen, or Rewi Alley
In terms of relationships, Uncle Xu Weiwen's family is definitely closer. The disadvantage is that Uncle Xu has retired, and Xu Ting, who is still working, can't help at all, and Xu Lei's relationship with herself is not very good either.
As for Ai Li, his advantage is that he holds a higher position and has used the mental energy mask before, so he is more familiar with the equipment. Unfortunately, their relationship is not deep enough, and Ai Li also has the unstable factor of Zhang Nuoan.
Come to think of it, both are flawed.
“It’s a bit troublesome!”
Xu Le looked at Ding Ke who was lying on him. Her hair had become much darker recently, and she slept longer and longer. She was very sleepy, just like a cat.
Although she didn't elaborate, Xu Le had already guessed that Ding Ke's normal life would not last long.
She should be about to enter the whispering state again.
According to Ding Ke himself, if he is not awake, he will turn into a cat. At least he cannot curse others in cat form.
Holding the girl in his arms, Xu Le suddenly felt reluctant to let her go. She had been teaching him very quickly during this period, and even spent less time arguing with him.
Xu Le could sense her eagerness, so he did not let her down and was very serious during this period.
"Ding Ke, are you okay?"
"Xu Le, when the Red Moon Calamity comes, try to build a core for yourself to store and sublimate your emotions. You already know the methods."
Xu Le looked at Ding Ke's confused expression and nodded slightly:
"Well, let's give it a try during the Red Moon Tribulation this time."
Meow! ~
Ding Ke murmured something and fell asleep on Xu Le's body. Her body gradually became smaller under the white moonlight.
Xu Le witnessed the entire process of Ding Ke turning into a cat.
His cat seemed to be back, but why did he feel a little sad? Was he reluctant to let it go
"I hope I can help you stop talking nonsense one day."
…
The next day, Xu Le and Ding Ke, who had turned into a cat, had some fun together.
It seemed to have become its previous not-so-intelligent self again, turning into Ding Ke, a cat, and even playing with a ball of string.
It's really hard to imagine that a warlock who can teach himself would end up in this state.
After saying goodbye to Ding Ke, Xu Le took the research and development report of the mental energy mask and took the initiative to go to his uncle Xu Weiwen's house.
After all, my uncle is an honorary veteran. Regardless of his current position, retired veterans have very good connections in the military system of the Dark Ages.
What surprised Xu Le was that after arriving at Xu Weiwen's house, he found that there seemed to be guests at his uncle's house.
"Hello, uncle." Xu Le nodded politely.
When Xu Weiwen saw Xu Le, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He glanced at the guest next to him and his expression became a little complicated.
"Xu Le is here, this is... your Uncle Li."
Uncle Li
Xu Le looked at the guest in the room. He looked to be about 50 years old, with an elegant appearance but not easy-going. He sat upright, a bit like a scholar, but it seemed that he had something more that scholars didn't have.
Xu Le always felt that he had seen this person somewhere before. No matter how he looked at him, he looked a bit like...
Lu Shuren from another world
"Um, hello Uncle Li."
At this moment, this person was staring at Xu Le without saying anything. When he saw Xu Le coming, his expression became a little strange.
But he was well-mannered and didn't say much. He just picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said calmly:
"good."
Xu Le:
Not bad? Not bad about what? Another person who knows me? Who is it
Xu Weiwen saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and he wanted to pick his feet anxiously, but when he was about to pick his feet, he found that the prosthesis was not installed, and there was no place for him to pick his feet... He could only scratch his head and said:
"Xu Le, what are you doing here today?"
Xu Le hesitated for a moment. With outsiders present, he was a little hesitant about whether he should say this here:
"Oh, I originally had a research project that I wanted to show my uncle, but my uncle has guests today, so I'll come another day."
"Okay, come back tomorrow..."
Xu Weiwen clearly wanted to chase Xu Le away, but the old man surnamed Li looked directly at Xu Weiwen:
"What kind of research is it that you have to hide from me, huh, Lao Xu?"
"Well, these are just kids' toys, why are you taking it so seriously?" Xu Weiwen seemed a little guilty.
But the old man surnamed Li obviously had no intention of letting Xu Le go at this time. He said directly to Xu Le:
"Bring me the research report."
"Huh?" Xu Le was stunned, then cast a questioning look at Xu Weiwen.
After Xu Weiwen pondered for a while, he nodded. His nod was slow and heavy, and seemed to have a different meaning.
Xu Le had quietly entered a state of emptiness. Although he did not understand what Xu Weiwen meant, he was not stupid and naturally understood that the identity of the person in front of him might be extraordinary.
"Is Uncle Li doing military research?"
The old man surnamed Li frowned slightly. He felt that Xu Le's behavior was a little strange. Although they had only met a few times, he shouldn't have forgotten him, right
"no."
"It's hard to say if you're not a researcher. This thing is quite complicated, and I'm afraid you won't understand it." It was obvious that Xu Le still didn't want to let go.
The old man surnamed Li was not angry. He just looked straight at Xu Weiwen. His meaning was very clear: You deal with him.
Xu Weiwen sighed:
"Let him take a look. If you want to go the research and development route, you can't avoid him."
Xu Le understood immediately.
This guy is the boss!
Soon, Xu Le handed the report to the old man named Li who looked very similar to Lu Shuren.
"Uncle Li, please take a look."
"Psychic energy obscurer?"
