After arriving in San Diego, Cheng Yu received a call from Li Dali as soon as he got off the plane.
"Mr. Cheng, I would like to express my gratitude to you again. I am now at the airport. The embassy staff will accompany me to transfer to Santiago and fly back to China via the UK. I will be boarding the plane in twenty minutes. Are you still
Is there anything you need to tell me?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "It's good to go back to China. After you go back, there should be some investigations against you, and your personal freedom may be restricted in a short period of time..."
"I can understand this. After all, I have been missing for four years and still imprisoned. But don't worry, I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Then it's nothing. I estimate that a police officer named Bian will be responsible for investigating you.
Although he shouldn't actually be involved in these things now, since he was directly responsible for your affairs from the beginning, and he used to work on international crimes and transnational crimes,
He has a certain relationship with the police stations in various countries. He is also my friend. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take the initiative to ask to be responsible for your isolation review.
As long as he is here, you don’t have to worry, but it’s the same for him as for others, you just need to state it according to what we agreed. I guess they have received the news now, and the Falklands government cannot keep blocking the news, but
The situation on the island is basically a conflict between the two sides, so you shouldn’t have any psychological burden.”
"I understand. Mr. Cheng, you told me before that the institute has been acquired by you. Although the overall acquisition has not been completed yet, the reason why you came to see me in Maldao is because you want to invite me to come back to Maldao.
Research institute, does this matter still count?"
"Of course, this is my purpose. Wu Gong said that as long as you are able to come back and are willing to come back, he can even give up his position as chief engineer and continue to be your deputy."
"This is not possible. Wu Jing's business ability is extremely strong. I have been away for so many years, how can I ask him to make way for me as soon as I come back?
And after all, four years have passed, and the situation of the institute has also undergone many changes. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
I only need to be the project leader. To be honest, I have always been very ashamed of the projects that could not be carried out because of my departure.
But my situation at that time..."
Cheng Yu smiled again and said, "These are not problems, and you don't need to worry too much.
I'm just telling you Gong Wu's decision, but it doesn't mean it's my decision. My partners and I have the idea of investing more in the research institute, so you don't have to worry about positions.
The current scale of the institute is limited, but that does not mean that it will not expand rapidly in the future.
Once the scale expands, I can even let you both be chief engineers, each responsible for different people and projects. This does not conflict, and you can be the leaders of different R&D groups and teams."
Li Dali thanked him repeatedly: "This puts me at ease. The main reason is that I don't want Wu Gong's interests to be damaged because of me. Since you said so, Mr. Cheng, then I have no problem. After my isolation review is over, I will
I will go to the research institute to report to you."
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "Then I welcome you to join in advance. No, it's a return. Li Gong, who accidentally wandered away, finally came back."
Li Dali's voice became a little sad: "Yes, I came back and went in circles. It has been four years and I haven't accomplished anything. In the end, I returned to where I started."
"But the place where you started is also a brand new place. Mr. Wu is now a person with an annual salary of one million yuan. When you go back, your treatment will not be worse than him."
“I don’t dare to ask for this, I just hope there is a place where I can put what I have learned into practice.
I was still thinking about these things, but just now when I was preparing to come to the airport, a comrade from the embassy told me that both my parents have passed away.
Now, I am alone, and I have no need for things like money. I really hope that I can return to China as soon as possible, pass the examination smoothly, and then immediately start working on the work that I did not finish a few years ago..."
"Things like life, separation and death are human nature and no one can avoid them. My condolences, Mr. Li."
"I'm fine. It's just that I was detained for four years and my parents didn't get to see me before they died. As a son, I feel a little ashamed. Don't worry, it doesn't matter... I won't tell you anymore. Ambassador over there
The people at the airport urged me to get ready to board the plane, and we’ll see you at home.”
Cheng Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll see you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu immediately called Vincent's mobile phone. Vincent was in the hospital. His mother's surgery had been completed and was very successful, but he still needed to rest in the hospital for a while.
Cheng Yu thought about it and felt that he couldn't help anything by going to the hospital. To be honest, he was really reluctant to go to a place like the hospital. After all, he also walked out of the hospital less than a year ago.
, and he was told that he only had five days left to live.
"Then let's meet at the hotel. I have some very good news for you."
"Is Lawrence dead?"
"Haha, let's talk about it when we meet."
After that, Cheng Yu called a car and went straight to the hotel.
Vincent also hurried back to the hotel from the hospital. After the two met, Cheng Yu did not describe too much. He just said that he went to the island and successfully met Lawrence and Peng Bo.
Moreover, under his design, Lawrence turned against Peng Bo, and eventually he killed Peng Bo with his own hands. And when he was leaving the island, he found another opportunity to kill Lawrence.
Vincent was overjoyed, and then his face was filled with tears. These were tears of excitement. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Vincent did not have the slightest doubt about Cheng Yu's words. Since Cheng Yu said that he had killed Lawrence and Peng Bo, he must have killed them.
"Thank you, sir. I know I have nothing to repay you now, but I promise that when I grow up, even if you ask me to die for you, I will try my best to repay you..."
Cheng Yu rubbed Vincent's head and said with a smile: "You kid, what are you talking about? Why do I want you to die for me?
Remember what I told you before? You are a very smart child and I want to send you to study in the United States.
I will give you two years at most. Within two years, you must admit me to an Ivy League school, and it must be a full scholarship. I have no intention of waiting until you reach college to continue to provide for your living and study needs.
The expenses..."
"Sir, it's good enough that you can send me and my mother to the United States. We don't need your funding. I can work on my own and my mother can continue her job.
My mother also graduated from a prestigious university, but she has been hampered by illness in the past two years.
Don’t worry, we can live a good life on our own, and I also promise you that we will definitely be admitted to an Ivy League school in two years.”
"As long as you have this intention, but you should not go to work. In the past two years, you should study hard. There is still a gap between the educational level in Chile and the United States, especially you, who has not touched it for a long time.
To pass the books, you need to work harder than others.
As for your mother, I will introduce her to a job after she fully recovers.
But before you go to college, you don’t have to worry about financial matters. Your studies will be fully funded by me.
Don't say no, you must put all your energy into your studies. I also hope that you will graduate as soon as possible and then join my company to pay off your debts!"
Vincent knew that Cheng Yu was doing this for his own good, so he stopped insisting, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you, sir."
Cheng Yu rubbed Vincent's little head again and said, "Okay, you go back to the room first. I'm very tired and need a good rest. After I have a good rest, I'm going to go to Mr. Morris's
They helped a lot with your mother's affairs."
Vincent was very obedient, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Sir, please rest first, I will go to the hospital to accompany my mother."
After Vincent left, Cheng Yu filled the water and took a bath, and almost fell asleep in the bathtub.
Despite the blessings of firearms and martial arts, Cheng Yu still felt extremely tired once he relaxed.
In the bathtub, in a daze, Cheng Yu remembered that the Shenhu system had been upgraded again, so he looked at the light screen in his mind, trying to understand what changes had taken place in the Shenhu system after the upgrade.
The first thing you see is, of course, your current points.
13695/13914, this is the number of points Cheng Yu has now.
Compared with the points Cheng Yu saw before, there were nearly 60 points less. That was because after Cheng Yu took Li Dali away on a motorboat, he kept the firearms technique going for a while, fearing that someone was chasing them behind.
Nearly 13,700 points, even if the points are redeemed for life time at a 25% discount, this is already 913 days.
And Cheng Yu still has twenty-six days of life that have not been consumed, and there are still more than seventy days left in the previous mission. Although this mission has not been submitted yet, it is obvious that there are still more than thirty days left, even if
Not counting the mission rewards, Cheng Yu still has about 140 days of life left to consume.
Including the 913 days that points can be redeemed, that is more than 1,050 days, which is close to three years.
But now the Shenxi system has been upgraded again. This time, there may be a lower discount on the redeemable life duration. If this is the case, then Cheng Yu’s current life duration plus the redeemable life duration by points will be
It has been more than three years.
Cheng Yu couldn't wait any longer. He immediately opened the mall, and sure enough, he saw an updated life time redemption option.
What appeared this time was the redemption of one hundred days of life, and the points required were one thousand four hundred points.
30% off.
Calculated in this way, Cheng Yu's current points, if added with the rewards from this mission, can actually exceed 14,000 points.
That means he can redeem more than a thousand days of life just by relying on the points in his hand.
In the next three years, Cheng Yu doesn't have to worry about the passing of his life. This is simply an exciting thing.
Along with the one hundred days of life, there are two redeemable options.
One is driving skills.
After clicking, the translucent dialog box that pops up displays an explanation of driving skills.
"High-level driving skills, using this redemption option, the host can easily drive all mechanical equipment that can only travel within the atmosphere, including but not limited to various types of cars, ships, aircraft, etc., but does not include all types of vehicles that can reach
The driving level of an aircraft above the speed of the first universe can reach the highest level of human driving on earth. For example, driving F1, the host can surpass any professional player on any familiar track, and on the premise that the mechanical performance of F1 can be guaranteed, break through
The world record will be lost. Each time the driving skill is used, it can last for any length of time, and one point will be deducted for each minute it lasts."
Although it was just a very brief sentence, Cheng Yu understood that this driving skill basically meant that except for things like spaceships, Cheng Yu could already control all things that could move.
Damn it, if a Gundam suddenly appeared on the earth, would I be able to drive it calmly?
Cheng Yu is not very interested in this exchangeable item. In fact, the driving behavior of cars and boats is not complicated. Cheng Yu can basically master it with a short study. On the other hand, the driving mode of aircraft such as airplanes is more complicated.
This really requires Cheng Yu to use this thing.
To redeem driving skills, well, it is advanced driving skills. The points required have reached ten points, and one point is needed every minute. If it is used basically once, dozens of points will definitely be needed. If it takes a long time
, hundreds of points can be easily consumed.
But the level reached is indeed a bit strong. The system thoughtfully gave an example. Even if you are driving F1, which is known as the fastest sport on the ground, you can easily defeat any opponent and break the world record. Of course, the prerequisite
Your car must be good enough. It cannot be said that you can compete with Schumacher even if you drive a hatchback family car.
But it was of no use now, so Cheng Yu didn't think too much about it.
Cheng Yu looked at another new redeemable item.
This is another thing that is incomprehensible. The pattern shows a rotating disk with different fan-shaped grids divided into it. It looks a bit like a lottery disk.
Cheng Yu clicked on the turntable pattern with his mind, and a translucent dialog box slowly emerged.
"A special prize plate for the lottery."
It's really for the lottery, but why is it such a short sentence? It doesn't say anything at all.
Cheng Yu immediately clicked on the lottery prize plate again, and the screen slowly changed. The prize disk began to play, gradually covering the entire light screen in his mind.
A prize plate that occupied almost the entire field of view of the light screen in Cheng Yu's mind appeared in front of his eyes. Cheng Yu could see clearly that the prize plate was divided into sixteen areas.
Currently, all the items that Cheng Yu can redeem in the mall are displayed on this prize plate.
One day of life, five days of life, fifteen days of life, thirty days of life and the newly appeared one hundred days of life are all on top.
Others include mind reading, summoning, negotiation, paparazzi, silence, hypnotism, wall penetration, martial arts, firearms, medicine, and driving.
If I really want to say that there is something missing, it is the missing investment gold finger. After all, this investment gold finger is the only thing that does not need to be exchanged again.
However, the size of each area is different. The areas for life span per day, mind reading, summoning, negotiation, paparazzi, silence, hypnotism, wall penetration, martial arts, and medical skills are all the same size, and the five areas are all relatively large.
The natural life is smaller, the fifteen-day life is even smaller, and the thirty-day life is even smaller.
After comparison, Cheng Yu found that the area size of firearms and driving skills was about the same as thirty days of life.
The smallest one is the one hundred-day life area, which is so small that Cheng Yu can't even fit a finger into it.
This is the difficulty of the lottery. The chances of winning a day's life and all kinds of messy items are relatively high, because these items have the least value among all redeemable items.
But one day's life is still twenty points after all. Even if calculated according to the highest 30% discount, it still requires fourteen points to redeem. Why are they the same size as those four-point-five-point-six point items?
Cheng Yu was very strange.
As for the area from five days of life to 100 days of life, Cheng Yu can understand it very well. However, the size of the area for firearms and driving skills is almost the same as the area for thirty days of life. This makes Cheng Yu
Can't understand it.
After looking carefully, Cheng Yu found that the driving area was slightly larger. The area closest to the circumference was about one centimeter wider than the Thirty Days of Life. The firearms technique was almost the same as the Thirty Days of Life.
They are exactly the same, they are two completely equal areas.
Why is this?
Cheng Yu noticed that there was a book-like pattern in the upper right corner of the prize plate. He clicked on the pattern with his mind, and an animation slowly started in his mind.
Then, Cheng Yu saw a familiar translucent dialog box.
"Introduction to Prize Plate."
At the top of the dialog box, these four large characters are displayed, bold and dark, looking extremely solemn.
Below there were densely packed small characters, and Cheng Yu looked at them intently.
"The host can draw a lottery once for free every calendar month. The host can also use twenty points to redeem a lottery opportunity."
Seeing this sentence, Cheng Yu finally understood why the size of the areas on the prize board should be so clearly distinguished.
Not taking into account the rewards that can be drawn for free once a month, according to the normal level of drawing 20 points once, that is the consumption of fully redeeming one day's life time.
Then, the area with the life span of a day seems to be a standard size area.
But why do those options that only require four, five, and six points to be redeemed have the same size as the area that lasts a day?
This is a bit of a trap!
According to the size of the areas on the current award board, there are sixteen areas. Excluding those awards that have a life span of more than five days and are equivalent to taking advantage of, there are ten awards in the area, all of which are the largest. These ten awards, simply
It occupies almost two-thirds of the entire prize plate, and the remaining six awards are only one-third in total.
If the equally valuable prize of one day's life is removed, the nine prizes that are obviously less than 20 points, or even less than 10 points, occupy more than three-fifths of the prize area. According to the probability
For example, in every lottery, there is more than a 60% chance of winning these prizes that are worth the loss.
What a cheat!
Cheng Yu once again realized the shamelessness of the system.
