However, before that, Wei Yi had one more thing to do, and that was to fulfill his promise.
Previously, Wei Yi had promised Ruan Mei that as long as the other party helped him decipher the token, he would hand over his own flesh and blood to the other party for experiments.
Yesterday, Wei Yi needed some things to clean up, so he naturally had no time for these things. Fortunately, Ruan Mei was not in a hurry. She still had some time before she left the Xianzhou.
"It's you, doctor."
Before he could even leave Chang'an Sky, Wei Yi saw Sushang. At this time, Sushang was on duty at the street corner. After seeing Wei Yi, she greeted him warmly.
"I find that you are really quite busy. Every time I meet you, you are either working or on your way to work."
After seeing Sushang, Wei Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Goodness, coming home is even busier than working outside. What a real-life situation.
"I'm here today just to help you. Otherwise, I could have gotten an even easier job..."
Sushang on the side puffed out her small face and said.
"Elaborate." Wei Yi looked at the other party with curiosity.
"Yesterday you gave me some medicine. Those seriously injured Cloud Knight brothers were out of danger in an instant after eating it. Now the Cloud Knights are very curious about you. Many people are coming to Chang'an Sky on duty today. I was afraid they would bother you, so I volunteered to come over."
Sushang said, puffing out her chest, a look of 'quick, praise me' on her face.
"Then thank you so much. I can't handle that kind of scene."
"Right, right? Hehe,"
Sushang laughed foolishly. Wei Yi praised her, and she was a little embarrassed.
"Where are you going?"
Sushang looked at Wei Yi with some curiosity.
"I'm going out to buy something. Otherwise, what will my wife eat when she comes home at night?"
Wei Yi said casually.
"I see. By the way, doctor, remember not to go to some remote places. These two days on the Yaoqing are a time of many troubles. Remember not to go to remote places. It would be troublesome if you run into some criminals."
Sushang kindly reminded him.
"Don't worry. With my small body, I definitely won't run to that kind of place. Also, it's a 'troubled time'!"
Wei Yi nodded, and then corrected her.
"Hehe, it's about the same. If you really run into any danger, remember to shout. The Cloud Knights will come very quickly. Now the Yaoqing is under martial law, and the Cloud Knights are everywhere."
Sushang scratched her head embarrassedly and urged again.
Wei Yi nodded and said goodbye to the other party. However, there was some regret in his expression.
What a good girl. It's a pity she's a bit... unwise.
And then, he saw a mechanical cowboy with a black and white body walking on the street.
"Have you seen Zhong Gu?"
"Who is Zhong Gu?"
"Have you seen Zhong Gu?"
"If I had seen him, would you still be able to meet me on the street?"
"My goodness..."
"Have you seen Zhong Gu?"
The mechanical strange person quickly walked to Wei Yi's front and asked Wei Yi.
"Such a handsome mechanical prosthetic body. Can I touch it?"
Wei Yi looked at Boothill's body, his two eyes shining.
"I asked you if you've seen Zhong Gu."
An "井" (a symbol of anger in manga) appeared on Boothill's forehead.
"Let me touch it and I'll tell you."
"You... then you can touch it."
Boothill sighed, and then extended his hand.
"Wow, what a sophisticated mechanical hand." Wei Yi looked at Boothill's mechanical arm and observed it carefully.
He was a little curious, would his ability be effective on a person like Boothill whose body was mostly mechanical?
But thinking about it, he decided against it. It would probably be that his body would grow back from below his head.
"Can you tell me now?"
Boothill looked at Wei Yi, his scalp tingling a little. My goodness, this kid is a bit strange. Is there no end to his touching?
"Oh, I haven't seen him."
Wei Yi said with a straight face, lying. He had gotten to touch this mechanical skin for free, so satisfying...
Isn't this much more handsome than those mecha that even dogs won't use from the company?
"My goodness, you're playing with me?"
This hot temper of Boothill's, if it weren't for the fact that this was on the Xianzhou, he would have directly pulled out his gun.
"I didn't say I must know where he is. Why are you so agitated? Besides, it would be strange if you could find Zhong Gu on the street, right? That's the legendary Abundance Emanator!"
Wei Yi shrugged. This person was a bit interesting, but he didn't know what he wanted from him. Before that, Wei Yi would not be so stupid as to reveal his identity.
"What can I do? I just got news that Zhong Gu is here, so I came over. My goodness, if I had known, I wouldn't have taken this job. It's so troublesome."
Boothill said with some impatience.
"So, what are you looking for him for? That's the legendary Abundance Emanator. If you look for people like that, aren't you afraid that they'll make a move?"
Wei Yi asked tentatively.
"I'm not here to fight him. My goodness, I'm not stupid enough to duel an Emanator. Wait, that actually sounds quite exciting."
Boothill said, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"It's good to be alive. Don't look for death."
Wei Yi patted his shoulder.
"It is indeed good to be alive. But, I wonder if he has ever thought about the people who died because of him when he is living in seclusion here with a clear conscience."
Boothill sneered. With that, he reacted. "My goodness, why am I talking nonsense with you."
"Wait, what did you mean by what you said just now?"
Wei Yi still wanted to ask, but he saw two Cloud Knight soldiers walk to Boothill's front from behind him.
"Sir, someone has reported that you may be a spy for the Abundance filth. Please come with us."
With that, the two Cloud Knights held Boothill's arms from the left and right, and were about to drag him away.
"Wait, wait! My goodness, do I look like some very, very bad person?"
"You don't look like a bad person, but you don't look like a good person either. Less nonsense! If you have anything to say, say it at the bureau!"
A Cloud Knight said with some impatience.
"I'm a Galaxy Ranger, a Galaxy Ranger Boothill! In the end, I'm in the same faction as you Xianzhou people. We're still a family!"
Boothill explained, hoping that the two Cloud Knights would let him go.
"Stop with the nonsense. How long has it been since a Galaxy Ranger has appeared? You're still a Galaxy Ranger. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used against you in court!"
A Cloud Knight said, and they dragged Boothill further and further away.
On the street, a long mark was left by Boothill's legs.
Seeing this, Wei Yi shook his head.
A Galaxy Ranger? What was he looking for him for? And he said so many strange things...
Wei Yi frowned.
He would ask when he had time, but not now.
Looking at the taken away Boothill, Wei Yi was deep in thought.
The small interlude did not affect Wei Yi's mood. He followed the coordinates and walked to Ruan Mei's laboratory.
"Just a temporary foothold, why did you change places again?"
Wei Yi looked at Ruan Mei with some helplessness. This place was so remote, it was hard for him to find.
"My identity is sensitive, and many people are watching me. If I don't do this, I will be disturbed all the time."
Ruan Mei said lightly. The people watching him were not a few big shots.
Even Ruan Mei would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with them, and it would not be worth the loss.
Anyway, there was no threat, so Ruan Mei no longer paid attention to them.
"You've had a hard time too."
Wei Yi looked at Ruan Mei, and couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie.
His own experience was so similar to the other party's. However, the people watching him were much more terrifying than those watching Ruan Mei.
Once his identity was exposed, if he had no backer, he would probably be dismembered into six pieces by himself.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm here to fulfill my promise. How much do you want?"
Wei Yi walked into the laboratory, looked around with curiosity, and saw a lot of things he couldn't understand. He directly got to the point and said.
"Ten kilograms."
Ruan Mei's vermilion lips parted slightly, and she said.
"?" Wei Yi looked at the other party, a big question mark appearing above his head.
"No, are you butchering a pig here? Ten kilograms?"
Wei Yi rolled his eyes and complained on the spot.
"Can't I?"
A trace of regret flashed in Ruan Mei's eyes.
"Of course not! Ten kilograms? A hundred grams of blood sample, no more!"
Wei Yi said in annoyance.
"Deal!"
Ruan Mei took out a syringe and a blood bag, drew a hundred grams of blood, and looked at the translucent blood that exuded a strange fragrance in front of her. She couldn't help but show a faint smile.
She hadn't expected to get so much. She didn't expect Wei Yi to be so generous and directly offer a hundred grams.
And on the side, Wei Yi was also secretly happy. He had originally thought of suppressing the price and then haggling, but he didn't expect Ruan Mei to be so straightforward. The limit Wei Yi could accept was five hundred grams.
It could only be said that both of them felt that they had made a profit. This was a win-win!
However, this was also because Wei Yi had not had a clear understanding of how precious his blood was for so long.
Actually, Ruan Mei didn't know. If he had extended his finger and made a '1', Wei Yi might have really misunderstood and given him a jin...
Still too conservative.
However, for Ruan Mei, this hundred grams of blood sample was enough for her to complete the research she had been unable to complete for a long time.
Thinking of this, she looked at the blood in the blood bag, her eyes and brows curved, and a stunningly beautiful smile appeared. Even this cold laboratory seemed to have a few more colors.
"So beautiful."
Wei Yi looked at Ruan Mei's smile and did not hesitate to praise her. Ruan Mei on the side came back to her senses and then returned to her usual appearance. She looked at Wei Yi with some daze, tilted her head and showed a look of confusion.
"You're so beautiful. Why don't you smile more?"
Wei Yi saw Ruan Mei return to normal, a look of regret in his eyes, and then said.
"If I smile a little, will you give me some more blood samples?"
Ruan Mei looked at Wei Yi and said.
"It depends." Wei Yi thought for a moment and said.
Hearing this, Ruan Mei extended her two fingers, pressed the corners of her lips, and then lifted them slightly, showing a deliberate smile.
A forced smile might be a little awkward on others' faces, but for Ruan Mei, no matter what expression she showed, she was a stunning beauty.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the other party as a city-toppling beauty.
After "smiling," Ruan Mei extended her hand and looked at Wei Yi, like a child asking for candy.
"No, your smile is not from the heart, but full of utilitarianism. There is no sincerity, so no more blood samples!"
Wei Yi shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Ruan Mei's cheeks seemed to puff up for a moment. Clearly, the other party was a little dissatisfied.
It was not that she had no feelings, but that Ruan Mei's feelings were very weak. It was very difficult to make her show some expressions.
"Your matter seems not to have been resolved yet. Do you need my help?"
Ruan Mei looked at Wei Yi.
"Help me on your own initiative? Why?"
Wei Yi looked at Ruan Mei with some surprise.
"From a profit perspective, helping you can get me samples in return. This is a 'reward'."
Ruan Mei pondered for a moment and then said.
Hearing this, Wei Yi shook his head with some disappointment: "When you say that you want to help a friend from an emotional perspective, maybe we won't have to maintain this kind of interest exchange relationship."
"But interest is the most reliable relationship. There is a saying: in the face of interests, there are no eternal enemies. We are also the same."
Ruan Mei said with some confusion. For her, emotion was not difficult to analyze. In fact, it was precisely because she had analyzed emotion with science that she had fallen into this state of emotional deficiency, and then used a more efficient way to handle various things.
It was not that she had no feelings, but that a genius like her had seen through everything, plus her character, that she had become like this.
This was the absolute rationality of a genius.
However, for Wei Yi, a person could be rational, but not absolutely rational.
When a person's eyes were only filled with interests, what was the difference between her and a cold machine? Everything followed the most correct choice in a rational analysis, and the world lost its change.
"Not so. Let me ask you, if one day, your friend is about to die, and you can choose to sacrifice your life to save him, would you do it?"
Wei Yi looked at the beauty in front of him and asked.
"I will protect myself and then find a way to revive him. This is not impossible for me. If you give me time, I can cooperate with other geniuses, reverse time and space from the quantum field, and pull him back."
Ruan Mei said lightly.
"?" One sentence choked Wei Yi. But thinking about the other party's genius identity, it seemed quite reasonable?
Forget it, I can't argue with her. She's a genius, I can't play with her...
Wei Yi muttered in his heart.
"Forget it, I was just making an analogy. It was my fault for discussing this topic with you." Wei Yi sighed.
"How would you choose?"
Ruan Mei looked at Wei Yi and asked.
"I would choose to sacrifice myself to save her."
Wei Yi said, thinking of Feixiao in his heart.
Just like his choice back then.
Ruan Mei looked at the tenderness in Wei Yi's eyes and was stunned for a moment. For some reason, a feeling of envy arose in her heart.
She herself didn't even understand why this feeling would arise.
At this time, she was shocked to find that her understanding of emotion... seemed not to be as thorough as before.
However, in the past, she was just an observer and could not find it.
As the old saying goes: At the beginning of meditation, a mountain is a mountain, and water is water; when there is an epiphany in meditation, a mountain is not a mountain, and water is not water; when one is thoroughly enlightened in meditation, a mountain is still a mountain, and water is still a water.
"I think I should indeed try to experience emotions."
Ruan Mei suddenly said.
"Why the sudden change?"
Wei Yi came back to his senses and looked at the other party with some strangeness.
"I just feel that I've encountered a new problem and want to overcome it. My dear assistant, you will help me, right? I will give you... a reward."
"?" A question mark appeared on Wei Yi's forehead.
"How did I莫名其妙 (momoqimiao - inexplicably) become your assistant?"
