"Chen Xian, I'm Chang Sansi. I'm very happy to be able to communicate in this way without having to meet you. To be honest, I still hate you because you don't have any vision. As the head of the scientific research department, I always ask for it. You came to the capital and asked us to study it... why don't you come here!"
"Forget it, I'll be angry if I talk about it!"
"The Jiuling Mountain incident is a super-level incident. After verification by the investigation department, the threat level of this case is extremely high. Once the abnormal object gets out of control, it will endanger the lives and property of millions of people... Since the establishment of the Bureau of Secrets, the threat level of this case is only comparable. Nine times, so Chen Xian, you have meritorious service, and it is a great meritorious service, you deserve a reward!"
Seeing this, Chen Xian frowned faintly.
Why does Chang Sansi speak like this
It's like an old prostitute in a kiln giving a reward to a lady. What does it mean to be rewarded if you deserve it
Although the job you did this time is really good, but you put it this way...
"What's the matter?" Fatty Huo asked curiously. Seeing that something was wrong with Chen Xian's expression, he immediately became puzzled. Judging from the situation of Chen Xian's meritorious deeds this time, the letter written to him by his superiors must be to praise him. It is not allowed to praise him, and Chen Xian happens to be the kind of person who likes to listen to good things.
Judging from his temperament, he should be very happy to see the letter from the headquarters. Why is he frowning now
"nothing."
Chen Xian said, forcibly suppressing the urge to complain and think twice, and continued to read.
"This tree is annoying, isn't it? Me too!"
"But no one talked to it, and it seemed too lonely, but once talking to it, this stupid tree couldn't stop for three days and three nights, so I made a few intelligent robots in the laboratory 24 I chatted with it when I was young, but unfortunately those robots are too expensive to make, I originally wanted to send them to you together... But that's okay, I think you don't like to talk, letting it accompany you can somewhat change your temper. "
"Let me tell you about this tree again. It was named by me. It is called a talking tree. Judging from its life form, it should be regarded as a unique species in the anomalous plant world. Life, at present we are still unable to determine how many years it has lived, but from the information obtained after some analysis... It should have survived for more than two thousand years, but its memory is very confused... The effective information we have obtained is not There are many, so no more evidence about its life experience can be found.”
"Let's get down to business, let me talk about the benefits it can bring you."
"The tree bears fruit every once in a while, and the process of fruit ripening is very fast, it's all done in just a few hours, there's no sign before fruiting, it doesn't bloom and doesn't need pollination, there is Sometimes it will bear fruit every few days, sometimes months or even more than a year... At present, we can't control the time of its fruiting, and external intervention is almost ineffective, so you don't have to think about fertilizing."
"It will only bear one fruit each time, and each time it bears a fruit, the utility is different."
"Some fruits have a strong effect of stimulating cell activity, and some fruits can greatly increase the speed of the human body's self-healing. According to it, in its vague memory, it remembers that it once had fruit that made people feel sick immediately after eating it. The fruit of becoming a fairy... I personally think it is bragging, because it has produced waste fruits that have no effect at all six times, such as eating fruits that can kill people, eating fruits that make you hiccup, Eating the fruit that can temporarily blind you for a day... ”
"But I have to say that every time it turns out to be a surprise, I believe you will realize it soon!"
"At the end... You really don't plan to come to the capital to let me study it? I can reimburse you for the travel expenses!"
After reading the last line, Chen Xian silently folded up the letter and put it back in the envelope.
Although everyone was very curious about what was written in the letter, but because the letter had a strong background, they would not dare to read it even if Chen Xian asked them to read it without the permission of the writer.
Bureau of Secrets, Research Department, often think twice.
Compared with the combat departments of the Detective Department and the Armed Forces Department, Chang Sansi's deterrent power is not small in the circle of aliens. Even in the eyes of some smart people, Chang Sansi is much more powerful than other ministers... The Minister of Flowing Water , I always think twice, this is not a joke!
"What did the letter say?" Lu Yisheng approached curiously. Although he didn't dare to read the contents of the letter directly, he still had the courage to ask from Chen Xian's mouth!
"This tree bears fruit every once in a while, and the time of bearing fruit is uncontrollable, and the effect of each fruit is different. It has indeed produced fruit of life and death, but... many times it will bear fruit that is useless fruit."
Hearing this, Lu Yisheng became even more curious.
Useless fruit
Is it possible that the achievement has no effect at all
Can only taste it
"What is a useless fruit?!" The little tree said, it felt that Chen Xian's words were insulting it, even if it was life-threatening to refute it, it still decided to defend its dignity, "All the fruits I bear are useful You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
"The letter said that it has eaten fruits that can kill people, can make people blind for a day, and can make people hiccup..." Chen Xian began to give examples calmly.
"Doesn't it all work... Listen to me to trick you... No, listen to me to explain to you!"
"You continue to quibble, I'm listening."
"..."
Perhaps feeling the loss of the little tree, Xu Yanan and Mu He on the side suddenly felt sympathetic. After all, the voice of this tree is the same as that of a child. Bullying a small child.
"Actually, those fruits are fine too. If you don't eat them yourself, let the enemy eat them!" Xu Yanan comforted.
"That's not as bad as poisoning." Chen Xian looked at the tree with disgust, "Some combat toxins in our department can be purchased in-app, and the effect is much more direct than those fruits."
"Oh, stop saying that, I feel like it's going to cry..."
"Let it cry, cry hard and fast, and treat it as watering itself."
"..."
really.
Chen Xian is a model of straight men.
Although the tree is not amazing in appearance, it is actually quite cute, at least in the eyes of Xu Yanan and the others, but Chen Xian doesn't like this at all. Seeing him like that, he really dislikes this tree... It is troublesome to burn it as firewood.
"Actually, you can't blame me... I can't control the effect of the fruit... I can't help it as it grows..."
Xiaoshu continued to explain, and suddenly it had a flash of inspiration, as if it had thought of something.
"Yes! This is Schrödinger's fruit! If you don't eat it! You will never know what benefits it will bring you!"
"If you insult Schrödinger again, I'll burn you as firewood." Lu Yisheng, a folk scientist, couldn't help but speak.
At this moment, Fatty Huo suddenly answered the phone, as if there was something in the logistics department that he needed to deal with.
"Okay, you guys rest first, I still have something to do at hand."
"Okay." Chen Xian nodded lightly, remembering that Fatty Huo had really taken a lot of care these days, and felt a little ashamed, "Uncle Huo, I really troubled you these days...I'll treat you to dinner later. .”
"polite."
Fatty Huo smiled, and before leaving, he reminded Chen Xian that the task reward given by Jiuling Mountain this time is not limited to this tree, besides a large amount of cash rewards, there are also internal point rewards.
"Point reward?"
Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, thinking how could he forget this!
I remember that Fatty Huo once said that every time he completes an anomalous case, he will get a certain point reward, and these points cannot be exchanged for money... Every item that can be exchanged for points in the internal mall of the Bureau of Secrets is worth a lot. Called rare treasures, they are not ordinary goods that can be seen casually in the market!
"Boss, I should also have reward points, right?"
"should have… "
Chen Xian subconsciously took out his mobile phone and opened the Secret Keeper app. He remembered that his points were only more than 1,000 points, and the things that could make him fancy must be at least 6,000 points to buy!
"If you have enough points... buy that thing for Muhe..."
