"Pah! Pah!"
There was a sound, and Pandora's hands grasped the two ends of the tin wood and began to use force to break it.
"Wait a minute!" Ximu shouted helplessly and desperately, and shouted to Richard, "Wait a minute, kid, I... I agree to your request! I work exactly the way you want, isn't that okay!"
"despair!"
Not far out, Richard stopped, stretched out his hand to stop Pandora from making further movements, looked at Ximu and said, "If you had done this earlier, wouldn't we have saved a lot of time?"
"What's the use of saving time? I'm just working for you." Ximu muttered, looked at Richard, and said angrily: "Huh, boy, I finally understand, you are sure that I cherish my life very much, so There is no bottom line in exploiting me, right? You are very insidious!"
"Insidious?" Richard didn't quite agree. "Actually, it doesn't count. Now, I'm negotiating with you very openly. I know you want to live, so I use this to threaten you very openly. It's not considered insidious. , because I put it all on the surface.”
"Hmph..." Ximu was speechless for a while. He had nothing to say and just made a dissatisfied nasal sound.
"Snapped!"
Richard clapped his hands lightly and said, "Okay, since you agreed to my request, let's have a good talk. The content of the work has been determined, and the next thing to be determined is the length of the work."
"Boy, how long do you want to torture me?" Ximu asked quickly, very caring. For him, it doesn't matter if the working environment is worse or the workload is heavier. As an immortal, it's almost impossible for him to be exhausted. What's important is that he must make sure he won't keep doing this.
In his eyes, if you do this for three years, it will be enough. If you do it for five years, you can just tolerate it. Seven years is too much. If Richard dares to say ten years, he will definitely use all his abilities to fight against Richard on the premise of ensuring that he can survive.
So, how long is it
Ximu looked at Richard with sharp eyes.
Richard smiled slightly and said calmly: "First of all, there are still about six months left in the previous contract period. You have to fulfill it. Do you agree to this?"
"Okay." Ximu responded. This was something he expected and could accept. After all, it’s only six months, the key is what happens after that.
"Has the performance been completed?" Ximu asked aloud.
"Performance is over. In view of your poor performance during this contract period, we have to sign and implement a second contract. The content of the work has not changed much, but as for the time, I think-" Richard said slowly.
Ximu couldn't wait to interrupt Richard and asked: "How long, boy?"
Richard smiled lightly and said, "What do you think, a hundred years?"
"What?" After hearing the words, Ximu's eyes suddenly widened and his expression became dull, as if he didn't understand.
"One hundred years." Richard repeated it in a serious tone.
Ximu finally reacted, and his expression became even more dull and unbelievable.
a hundred years
a hundred years!
Richard's voice kept echoing in his consciousness, making him feel that the whole world was blank.
Are you kidding me, a hundred years
Must be a joke, a hundred years!
After being stunned for five or six seconds, Ximu spoke, stared at Richard and yelled: "One hundred years? How is this possible!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Do you know how long a hundred years is! I doubt you will be able to live until a hundred years from now!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Even if I really die due to some accident, my successor can supervise your continued performance of the contract for me - after all, I value the spirit of the contract."
"What about me? Do I really want to stay with you for a hundred years? This is a huge waste of my life!"
"Really?" Richard raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "Don't you always claim to be an immortal species or an advanced being? You are the guardian of immortality - 'Yuktrashil Alhaydon Tinmu' . Your life span is extremely long. A hundred years is actually not too long for you, so why waste it?"
"I..." Ximu was at a loss for words again. After holding it for a long time, he finally found a reason to refute, "You can't just say that I will work as long as I want! You must have credentials and standards!"
I was killed, captured, and revived by you before, and I only worked for you for a year in total. The current situation is similar. Logically speaking, the service should be one year or three years at most. As for a hundred years, there is no reason at all. "
Speaking of being very targeted... Richard's eyebrows moved. He was not surprised and nodded: "According to what you said, it is indeed more reasonable to let you work for a few more years. But, you ignored one thing."
"What?"
"Your escape this time has caused a lot of damage to my property." As he spoke, Richard pointed to the side, "Look there, that was Research Room No. 3 where you originally stayed. Now it has been completely destroyed." It can no longer be used. The equipment inside should also be broken and need to be repaired or remanufactured.
That's nothing. If you look at the surrounding buildings, your escape has been affected by energy, which has an immeasurable impact. For safety reasons, a lot of inspections and repairs are required, and this investment is not low at all.
The most important thing is the ground. You can see that you have made a lot of holes..."
"Aren't they just a few pits!" After hearing what Richard said, Ximu was a little anxious, "In the worst case, I'll fill it up for you. You can't let me work for decades or hundreds of years just because of this, right?"
"That's not what they say." Richard took a deep look at Ximu, shook his head and said seriously, "You have to be clear about one thing, that is, it is easier to destroy than to build. Sometimes, construction may take decades, or more. A hundred years, but destruction only takes a second.
Let’s talk about the ground. It looks like a simple ground to you, but it is the most basic part of the entire space. All buildings and equipment are built on it. Your attack on the ground will cause an incalculable deviation of the ground. The value is very small, but when conducting some precise research and experiments, the errors caused are extremely fatal.
So, you may think I am lying, so let me give you a real example. There was once a powerful country that pooled its efforts to create a mechanical creation called Apollo 1. This mechanical creation is highly sophisticated and has hundreds of thousands of parts. As a result, there was a problem with a small part, which caused the creation to directly fail when used. Not only did it cause a lot of losses, but also injured three operators.
All in all, the seemingly small things have a huge impact. So, you now have two choices: Either restore everything in this space prop to its original state, and there will be no difference compared to before. Then after you fulfill this contract, work for me for another year, and then you can leave.
Or, according to the huge losses you caused to my property, calculated into working hours, you can compensate me, which is almost a hundred years. "
