Lan Jue smiled, but didn't speak.
Speak.
"Why should I believe you?" The Bookworm's voice was placid.
Lan Jue replied. "Of course I have a gift for you.
Once you see it, you'll understand why I say you have what it takes to defeat the Keeper. "
As he spoke, he handed something to the Bookworm.
The Bookworm took the object in his hands and examined it. It was a complicated and intricate data disk.
His right hand slapped the armrest of his chair.
Suddenly, the wooden table in front of him split open. Giant screens began to rise from the cracks, and all manner of the latest photon processors appeared.
He shoved them into the data disk, and as soon as he did so, large chunks of data began to appear.
The Bookworm's hands began to move, swiping across the control panel.
Suddenly, the six screens in front of him began to change. All sorts of data flowed through them.
The Bookworm's murky yellow eyes had, at some point, become clear. In that moment, he looked twenty years younger. He stared intently at everything in front of him, and within his eyes, it was as if a stream of data flowed.
Gradually, his face became a little flushed, and his excited eyes stared at the screen. His hands were no longer stable and were slightly trembling.
"How did you get this?" The Bookworm suddenly stopped. His eyes were dark as he stared at Lan Jue.
Lan Jue smiled. "You don't need to know.
Once you're sure you're willing to work with me, I'll tell you. "
The Bookworm's breathing was ragged. "I need time to look through these things. Come back in two days.
Now.
Get out. "
Lan Jue nodded.
She bent over.
She picked up the paralyzed Accountant and prepared to leave.
The Accountant was so angry he couldn't speak. His body was still convulsing. It was clear that Lan Jue hadn't held back.
"Leave him here!" The Bookworm said.
Lan Jue nodded, and handed the Accountant over to Su He, who stood at his side.
Then he turned around and walked out.
Lin Guoguo and Xiuxiu followed behind Lan Jue as they left the building that looked exactly like the Skyfire Library.
Walking out of the door, Lan Jue stopped in her tracks.
Lin Guo-guo couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are you serious?
Are you really going to work with the Bookworm against the Keeper?
This … "
Xiu Xiu burst into laughter.
"Silly Guoguo, don't you know what kind of person the boss is?
How could he ask such a silly question?
The boss was just hurting himself to gain confidence!
Otherwise, the Bookworm wouldn't even look at it. "
Lin Guo-guo suddenly understood. She hesitated. "But we left the Accountant there.
Given the grudge between the Bookworm and the Keeper, I wonder if they'll try to harm him? "
Lan Jue smiled, and shook her head. "He won't.
If the Bookworm is going to take his anger out on the Keeper's descendants, then he's not worth the Keeper's treatment.
It's just a clash of ideals.
The Bookworm of old.
He was one of the council members of Skyfire Avenue!
And the Accountant's life-saving measures.
It's more than you can imagine. "
Lin Guo-guo asked, "So what are we going to do now?"
Lan Jue answered. "Wait for someone.
Someone we know has to arrange a place for us to stay. "
While they were talking, Su He had already run out from inside.
When he saw Lan Jue standing outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lan Jue, you scared the hell out of me.
But good, really good! "He gave Lan Jue a thumbs up as he spoke.
Lan Jue chuckled. "It looks like you've figured it out, senior."
Su He's voice was laced with frustration. "We're in the business of research, so we like to calculate everything.
I've been calculating the probability of your words being true, and the answer is less than five percent.
If I didn't get it, wouldn't I be an idiot? "
Lan Jue's voice was laced with frustration. "You science students are so annoying."
Su He chuckled. "Like you're not a science student.
We're just a bit more extreme.
I'm sure the professor will figure it out soon enough.
But right now he's completely immersed in his research.
As soon as I've settled the Keeper's grandson, I'll catch up. "
Lan Jue nodded. "If the Bookworm sees that information, then we're halfway to success.
Come back in two days.
But I'll have to trouble you to arrange a place for us to stay. Tomorrow we'll go to the auction. "
Su He nodded, and smiled. "Alright.
Tonight I'll invite you to try the Sea Spirit Feast.
It's very special. "
Lan Jue smiled. "That'd be great."
The hotel was arranged not too far from the Bookworm's bookstore. It wasn't too luxurious, but it was simple and unadorned.
Everything in the hotel was at least thirty years old. The rooms were large, and the interiors were mostly blue.
By the time they settled in, it was already evening.
"Senior, can we bring the Accountant for dinner tonight?
I'm not sure if the Bookworm has figured it out yet. "Lan Jue asked Su He.
"Whether or not the professor comes to his senses, I'm afraid he won't be able to bring your friend out.
Based on the professor's habits, he'll ask him questions as he reads the document.
After all, he's the Keeper's grandson. He'll know more than anyone else.
I'm sure your friend won't be able to leave the professor's office for the next two days.
He'll be fine if he goes hungry for two or three days.
Just take it as paying some interest to his grandfather.
Is that alright? "
Lan Jue nodded. "Before we left, the Keeper told me to give the Accountant more opportunities to hone his skills. I think this is a good opportunity."
Su He smiled. "Come on, let's go eat.
I've already made a reservation. "
Lir's specialties were indeed interesting.
The sea creatures here were all blue. Even after being cooked, they showed no signs of discoloration. The taste of seafood wasn't as fresh as usual. Instead, it tasted like a plant's. It was very peculiar.
Both Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo, who preferred light foods, ate quite a bit.
After dinner, the two women retired to their rooms to rest. Su He escorted Lan Jue back to her room.
"Do you have time to talk?" Su He asked.
"Of course." Lan Jue smiled and gestured for him to enter.
Su He entered the room and sat down on the old-fashioned sofa.
Lan Jue sat across from him. She waved her right hand through the air, and a silver box appeared in front of her.
Lan Jue opened the box and took out two whiskey glasses and a bottle of amber whiskey.
The bottle was simple and elegant. Under the soft light, it emitted a faint amber glow.
"Single malt?" Su He asked, surprised.
Lan Jue smiled and nodded. "Yes!
Alcohol is one of my few hobbies. "
Su He laughed and said, "If you don't have many hobbies, then wouldn't I have no hobbies?
This bottle of 18-year-old Macallan isn't from the Former Era, but it's still a classic among classics.
After all, Macallan is known as the King of Whiskey.
It looks like I'm in luck. "
Lan Jue uncorked the bottle and poured out an ounce or so for himself and Su He.
She smiled. "Macallan is known as the King of Whiskey. Apart from its long history, it's also produced at an astonishing rate.
In reality, it's not a particularly good whiskey.
But it has its own characteristics. It's neutral and peaceful. It's the most traditional and tasty whiskey.
So, when you're in a good mood, it's good to drink it.
The alcohol content isn't high either.
Come, try it. "
As he spoke, he picked up the glass and clinked it lightly against Su He's glass.
Su He picked up the glass and took a small sip. The strong malt fragrance mixed with the faint smell of smoke and a hint of cream blossomed in his mouth. His breath seemed to instantly become fresh, and the next moment, a warm aura spread into his body, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
It was as if his whole body had been scalded.
"Good wine.
You really know how to enjoy life!
In this aspect, you're much better than me. "When Su He said this, he looked a little lonely.
Lan Jue smiled faintly. "Senior, people aren't machines. They need to relax.
What's the reason for giving your all when you should?
Actually, it's more so that you can relax after you've finished what you need to do.
Actually, it's because you're too tense and you care too much.
If you listen to me, then I hope that you can first take a long vacation, at least three months. Then, find a woman you like and go out to play. Go out more and open your mind.
In these three months, don't touch the mecha at all. Don't think about scientific research. Just relax your body and mind.
Let go of all the fatigue that you've been feeling for so many years.
After three months, your state of mind will be different. At the same time, your opportunity may have arrived. "
Hearing her words, Su He was stunned. He smiled bitterly and said, "But, I'm used to this kind of mechanical life."
Lan Jue shook her head and said, "No, actually, you're used to being praised.
Back then, you were favored by the heavens.
After you received a blow from my brother, you became even harsher on yourself. All this time, you've been too tense, too tense.
Back then, my brother once told me that you would probably become a god in the near future.
But in reality, you've already exceeded the time he said at the time by more than double.
I believe in my brother's judgment.
Why can't you do it?
Have you really thought about it carefully? "
Su He was shocked. He didn't say anything else. He silently picked up the glass and took another sip of whiskey. This time, it was a little big. A stronger malt aroma seemed to occupy his entire body. The scalding comfort also turned into a blazing heat, as if igniting his body.
