Because of the energy explosion of the Rubik's Cube at that time, all experimental data was destroyed and subsequent projects could hardly be continued.
Only Dr. Connors used the 'universal formula' written by Xia Zhiye to try to develop a drug to restore severed limbs in order to complete the agreement made by Xia Zhiye and Tony at the time.
But the side effects are so great that mental damage is inevitable.
There is no hope for regenerating severed limbs, so Dr. Connors tried every possible method and, after eliminating all the side effects, came up with a drug that can quickly repair wounds.
So far, it has been put into the market.
Tony said on the phone at the time that although the product's effect was far from expected, the agreement still counted.
And the profits have been deposited into Xia Zhiye's bank account... although, at the time, he thought that this money was just thrown away.
After talking about money, Tony urged Xia Zhiye to come back quickly. He said that he would help manage the 10% of the shares for the time being, and said that the dividends were okay, the most important thing was that the thirteen welfare homes were giving him a headache.
He spends three days every month visiting these welfare homes one by one, carrying all kinds of toys and looking for little girls and little boys to play with, just like a weird uncle.
And from this topic, the issue of naughty children was derived. Then Xia Zhiye casually asked about the relationship between him and Xiao Lajiao. Then, this man who was used to wearing iron sheets began to burst out with a series of various words, either complaining or showing off.
God knows how long he has been holding these words in. He usually has no one suitable to talk to, so Xia Zhiye has walked into a trap.
Finally, they chatted until almost dawn, and this guy hung up the phone with a feeling of unsatisfied. Before hanging up, he urged Xia Zhiye to come back quickly, saying that there were many things waiting for him to do when he came back, and he should not really be like a hermit who would never be involved in worldly affairs again...
Overall, the two people talked about him and Pepper the whole night, and the matters of Banner and Connors only took up a small part of their time.
This made Xia Zhiye speechless. As a steel man, Tony's emotional troubles made him feel inferior.
…
…
Overall, it was a sleepless summer night, but he didn't feel tired at all. He climbed up from the kang and just opened the door when he saw Gu Yi standing at the door, grinning at him.
But soon Gu Yi passed Xia Zhiye, glanced at the ground behind him, smiled and said: "Not a bad habit, at least you can save a lot of effort next time."
Xia Zhiye grinned and asked a question he had been thinking about all night: "Where is the bathroom?"
A day's plan begins in the morning, and the morning air makes people feel refreshed.
After a simple wash, Gu Yi took Xia Zhiye to dinner.
The food was simple, light and healthy, and they ate in the big cafeteria. Gu Yi did not make any exception and sat down to eat with everyone else.
"Are all the people here mages?" Xia Zhiye asked curiously.
"Most, many people are learning how to become a wizard." Ancient One laughed again.
After dinner, Gu Yi led Xia Zhiye to a hall, boiled water, made tea, poured a cup for Xia Zhiye, and then poured a cup for himself.
"I think the Great All-Father has told you a lot about me."
Ancient One said: "This includes what we know about you."
Xia Zhiye nodded: "I heard that you watched me sleep for more than 30 years."
"Yes."
Ancient One smiled and said, "Sorry, no offense, we are just really curious about you. Your existence, itself... doesn't seem to exist in this universe, but it appears in front of us!
Xia Zhiye's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "It doesn't exist in this universe?"
"You also find it amazing?" Ancient One said with a smile: "Before we discovered you, you did not exist in any of the 'futures' we saw. But after we discovered you, almost every future has your shadow."
Xia Zhiye didn't say anything.
After a pause, Gu Yi continued, "We are not obsessed with your past, no matter where you come from. We are obsessed with your future, because it is changeable and symbolizes despair and hope at the same time, representing endless possibilities!"
“In fact, I am still confused about this.”
Xia Zhiye thought for a moment and said, "Why do you say that I will bring endless possibilities? I know from the mouth of Odin, the father of the gods, that both you and he can foresee the future to a certain extent. When you have such ability, why don't you do something to prevent some unacceptable futures in time?"
Gu Yi's smile remained unchanged, he just sighed softly and said: "Many things are actually already destined. Foreseeing the future can't bring us any happiness. Although we only see some fragments, it always brings more helplessness. When I was young, I worked hard for this, but I found that everything would only develop towards the worst result."
"I once foresaw a man's death and tried hard to save him. But in the end, it was because of my interference that he died."
Ancient One said the most helpless words in a light tone: "So, we don't know what kind of process led to the result of the future we foresee. Therefore... we are always afraid."
"Fear..."
Xia Zhiye was speechless for a moment. How could beings like Ancient One and Odin actually have such a fear
Maybe it’s not fear, but a sense of powerlessness.
They only foresaw some fragments but could not see everything clearly, and this unknown was even more maddening.
"Can I... take a look?"
Gu Yi suddenly looked at Xia Zhiye and asked seriously.
Xia Zhiye nodded: "That's why I came here."
Gu Yi nodded slightly, came to Xia Zhiye, and touched his forehead with his finger.
A white light flashed suddenly, and Gu Yi's expression showed a moment of astonishment. He looked at his hand that was bounced away and couldn't help laughing: "Very interesting!"
There was a little white light on her fingertips. She snapped her fingers gently and the white light disappeared immediately.
"Amazing power."
Ancient One whispered to himself.
Xia Zhiye looked at her quietly. Seeing this, Gu Yi smiled and said, "This is very good and wonderful. This power that belongs to you is very wonderful! It comes from everything, but transcends everything. It exists in the world, but is independent of the world. You are indeed different from all of us." (To be continued)
