After walking out of the underground laboratory and leaving the dangerous goods functional sector, Richard looked around the Garden of Eden and walked towards the No. 3 laboratory in the mechanical processing sector, where Ximu was located.
This was because he was considering traveling soon and needed to know some basic information about the Garden of Eden. In fact, this should be part of his daily routine, but he had delayed it because he had recently been completely devoted to the production of nuclear weapons.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard took steps and arrived in front of the door of Laboratory No. 3 in a short while.
Due to Pandora's un"gentle" behavior a few days ago, the door of Laboratory No. 3 was replaced with a spare door. The surface was painted with blue-gray paint and looked incompatible with the wall.
After seeing the door, Richard couldn't help but shook his head, but without saying anything, he opened the door and walked in.
Inside the door, the tin wood has grown to a height of two and a half meters, and the huge container point cannot be accommodated by him. At this time, the tin wood is stuck on the wall of the container at an oblique angle, continuing to absorb the nutrient solution.
As the tin wood absorbs, there is a leather tube next to it to inject new nutrient solution to keep the liquid level in a relatively balanced state.
Richard stepped forward to the container. Ximu noticed something and saw a human face growing out of the tree trunk. He asked aloud: "What, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing serious. I came here just to ask you, you have consolidated your original power for so long, can you work normally and absorb energy?" Richard said.
"Of course." Ximu replied, paused and then said, "However, if your need for energy is not very urgent, I suggest you give me a few more days to allow me to continue to consolidate my origin. In this way, in the future you will be able to In terms of energy, we get excess returns.”
"In other words, your current state is relatively flexible. You can choose to continue to consolidate your original power, or you can choose to absorb energy, right?" Richard confirmed.
"Yes." Ximu did not deny, "But it should be noted that if I choose to continue to consolidate the original power, after consolidating it, I can easily transform into a state of absorbing energy. On the contrary, if I choose to absorb energy from now on, I will absorb a certain amount of energy. After gaining a certain amount of energy, it will be difficult to return to consolidate the original power.
To explain it using your human example, it would be like your human women always have a strange ceremony called a wedding with a man before they become pregnant and give birth to the next generation.
Following this order is relatively normal and easy. And if you don't do this, it will be more difficult for a human woman to get pregnant and give birth to the next generation, and then find another man to hold the wedding. Not to say it is impossible, but it is indeed much more difficult. Do you understand? "
Richard: "..."
In fact, I understood what you said from the beginning without any confusion. But the example you gave later really made me curious... The corners of Richard's mouth twitched and he looked at Ximu: "Don't you always live in the forest? How do you do things like human marriage and childbirth? Do you know this clearly?"
"Humph." Ximu snorted, "Boy, don't think that I live in the forest, just like a tree. I have told you many times that I am an advanced being, the wise man of the tree and the wise man of the forest. Source, the guardian of immortality—Yuktrasir Alhaydon Ximu, my level is higher than your human level. So, I know these human things, is it strange?"
Humans don't care about humans. It's really strange that an immortal species like you cares about human reproduction... Richard shook his head in his heart, looked at Ximu and said, "Okay , since you can now choose to consolidate your original power or absorb energy, then you should continue to consolidate your original power."
After all, if you go to the Northern Wilderness next, you will be on the move for a long time. If you want to absorb energy, you will not meet the conditions... Richard showed a serious expression, looked at Ximu, and did not forget to warn: "But you consolidate the origin Strength is fine, but it’s better to be more calm. If there are any bad motives, the result may be very ugly.”
"Boy, you don't need to remind me. Since I have failed once, I am willing to admit defeat. I will fully fulfill my contract with you here before leaving, and I will not cause any trouble. So, don't doubt me." road.
Maybe... Richard said in his heart.
"I hope so." Richard said, turned around, waved his hand with his back to Ximu, and walked out.
…
"boom!"
The door of Laboratory No. 3 was closed. Richard stood in the open space, thought for a moment, turned and walked towards a house on the left.
That is the residence of the old lich.
Speaking of which, the old Lich has been "guerrilla" since he joined the Garden of Eden, using an easy chair as a bed and settling down everywhere without a fixed residence.
Over time, he got used to it and acquiesced to the "wandering" lifestyle of the old man Lich.
However, during the previous process of mobilizing Pandora, the Lich Old Man and the Eight-Armed Skeleton to urgently repair the Garden of Eden, the Lich Old Man made a small request, and that was to ask for a spacious room as a permanent residence.
When asked about the reason, the old man Lich pointed at the eight-armed skeleton and replied angrily: "Why do you think it is? Isn't it because this damn skeleton tampered with the spell puppets I worked so hard to create every day and took apart the parts of my spell puppets for my own use?" .
I can't bear it anymore. I have to have a room - a spacious room. I don't need to sleep in it, but I want the spell puppet I made to sleep in it, so that my spell puppet will not become mutilated when it wakes up. '. "
Faced with such a righteous reason from the old man Lich, he agreed without thinking of any reason to refuse. Besides, because the house in the Garden of Eden is self-built, it has always been relatively abundant. It is not difficult to make a larger room.
Ever since, the old man Lich finally became a homeowner.
Walking to the room as big as Old Lich's warehouse, Richard reached out and knocked on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk?"
"Who?" The old Lich inside the door asked cautiously, as if to guard against thieves.
"It's me." Richard said.
The old lich inside the door immediately recognized the sound. After all, the only people who could make a sound in the Garden of Eden were the old lich himself, Pandora, Richard, Ximu and a golden retriever dog. Each sound is extremely distinct. As long as it is heard, the identity can be determined, and it can be determined whether it is the damn mute bone thief-the eight-armed skeleton Anan.
After identifying the voice, the old lich relaxed his vigilance and responded: "Wait a minute, I will open the door for you."
"Um."
"Crack-crack-crack-crack!"
Immediately, Richard heard the sound of the door latch being pulled away one after another.
One bolt, two bolts, three bolts…
"Crack, snap, snap, snap!"
Then there was the sound of the iron lock opening.
One handful, two handfuls, three handfuls...
The old lich inside the door struggled for dozens of seconds before opening the door with a "squeak".
As for whether the defense is so tight, you are still inside, are you still afraid of stealing... Richard couldn't help thinking.
But he saw the old man Lich carefully opening the door a crack, sticking his head out and quickly scanning the surroundings to make sure that the figure of the eight-armed skeleton Anan was not found. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door wider, and opened Li Li's body. Check in.
