Chapter 351 Study abroad?

Just as Chu Guang was thinking about how to open a breakthrough on Pai, Pai was racking his brains to think about how to snatch Xiaoyu from Chu Guang's hand.

Of course, this statement is obviously incorrect.

Xiaoyu is a free person, not someone's thing.

However, what made Pai depressed was that her good friends were good everywhere, but she had no opinion at all!

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the guy named Chu Guang gave her little fish, making her say the words "Brother Chu" all day long like a repeater.

But even so, Pai still wanted to take Xiaoyu to Camp No. 101.

There are real schools there, and a group of learned teachers who can help her develop her potential.

Pai could be sure that he would not miss it. Xiaoyu's talent is extremely rare among the survivors of the wasteland, and it can even be described as none of them.

This talent has been reflected in language and arithmetic, and she is like an uncarved piece of jade.It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the absence of chips, her own talent is no less than her.

However, the environment she is in limiting her upper limit, and there is no room for her to maximize her ability.

Pai couldn't bear to see his good friend missed this precious opportunity in vain.

In a few years, she will miss the golden period of study. Although this does not mean that she will be like everyone else, if she misses this opportunity, she will have to work exponentially.

As he thought about it, Pai unconsciously stood on the elevator and came to the B4th floor, and walked towards the browsing room.

However, perhaps it is because of not looking at the road.

After turning a corner, she happened to bump into Xia Yan who came out of the door.

Oops.

Pai covered her nose with a short whine.

Looking at the little girl who was only tall enough to her chest and was full of tears, Xia Yan quickly said with concern.

Sorry, are you okay?

Pai muttered, rubbing his nose.

Woo... I'm fine, I should be sorry, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't look at the road.

Huh?

This kid is quite polite.

Xia Yan was just thinking this in his heart, but suddenly noticed that this guy covered his nose with his right hand and kept rubbing it.

Her face turned red a little, and she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

...Yes, is it so exaggerated?

It's obviously a little bit lately.

Um?When Pai raised his head when he heard that his sister seemed to have said something.

Looking at the big tears in her eyes, Xia Yan coughed lightly and changed the subject.

You are...Pai?Is there anything wrong with you here?

It's called Pai!I... want to meet your manager!Pai was a little hesitant at first, but after being asked this, he finally made up his mind.

That guy... I mean, the respected manager is busy now. It's not a particularly important thing, and it's OK to tell me.

Treating Pai as a playful child, Xia Yan said in a tone of coaxing the child.

Although she actually didn't know how to coax the child.

Seeing that this man looked down on him, Pai stood up and said seriously.

It's a very important thing!It's related to the future of my good friend!

The future of good friends?

Xia Yan was about to express his doubts, but before he could speak, a clever figure quietly slipped over from her and flashed into the browsing room.

When Pai walked into the browsing room, Chu Guang was on the phone with Luka.

Ask about the mission.

...How is your situation?Are there any casualties?Do I need to send more staff?

Although the new alliance had sent personnel to the Rock City before, this was the first time for a formal diplomatic visit.

Our situation is very good, and the casualties are all attackers.Please don't have to worry about us, sir.

Hearing the manager's concerning tone, Luca's voice was a little moved.

After reporting on the situation, he continued.

I interrogated the attackers, who claimed to be in the Pirate Bay Tavern, received a commission from a man named Bit, employed by an employer who wanted to be named.

According to his description, that man made a lot of money, which was completely different from those stingy merchants. He paid them 1,000 chips with the deposit alone.Considering that the middlemen will make a profit, the actual reward will probably be higher.

Chu Guang pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Well... I understand the situation. I will arrange for people to continue to investigate the situation.

Although I had expected this situation to happen, I didn't expect the other party to take action so decisively.

There was a force trying to prevent the new alliance from signing a friendly contract with Stone City, and this incident reminded him of this.

In addition, you must be careful on the way, and you must not relax your vigilance even when you arrive at the Stone City.Some people tried to interfere with it and destroy our relationship with our neighbors, and I was worried that their means would not be limited to ambushing halfway.

Luca said seriously.

I feel the same way... I always have a bad premonition, and the real trouble is still there, and we will encounter it when we arrive at the Rock City.

Chu Guang nodded.

It is right to be vigilant.

After arriving at the destination, you first go to our office in Jushi City, find Shuyu to learn about the current situation in the local area, and then go to the city hall to discuss the agreement.

Luca replied respectfully.

OK, sir.

Then he explained some things, Chu Guang hung up the phone, took off his headphones and placed it on the table.

He paused for a moment and spoke in a gentle voice.

I've finished my work, do you have anything to tell me?

Hearing Chu Guang's voice, Pai, who was hiding behind the bookshelf at the door, realized that he had been discovered and walked out from behind the bookshelf with a red face.

Her face was filled with embarrassment.

I, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop... Ah is wrong, I actually didn’t hear anything clearly, I’m sorry!

Looking at Pai who lowered his head, Chu Guang smiled.

I know, don't take it to heart.

Of course he knew that the little girl had come to her, and he even knew it before she stood on the elevator.

Every inch of the space in the entire shelter was under his control, and even the tiles on the ground were obedient to him, let alone the elevator.

He can even let the faucets of the public bathroom speak as long as he wants.

But he won't do such a boring thing.

If it was really a call that she couldn't hear, she couldn't even get out of the elevator, let alone walk here.

Although Chu Guang said he didn't have to take it to heart, Pai still had a sad expression on his face.

Even if she gets used to being free and casual, she knows that eavesdropping on other people's conversations is a bad behavior.

Although she knew she didn't do it on purpose, it was indeed her fault that she did not knock on the door.

At this time, Xia Yan walked in from the browsing room.

She glanced at Pai next to her and looked at Chu Guang again. She suddenly seemed to understand something.

A hint of undetectable cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said in a tone of apology.

Sorry, I didn't stop her... This is my dereliction of duty.

good.

This guy understands me quite well.

Chu Guang gave Boss Xia a look of praise, then shook his head gently, and continued to follow her words.

It's OK, although I'm discussing something important with my confidant, Ms. Pai from Camp 101 is our friend.I believe that even if she hears it, she will not leak what I just said to others... Can I trust you?Pai.

Although using this kind of cleverness makes it difficult to make the other party owe him a favor.

Especially the other party is much younger than himself.

However, now is obviously not the time to make things difficult.

Pai, who was standing at the door, had a red cheek, and she wanted to find a crack on the ground and crawl into it.

What she is most reluctant to do is to cause trouble for others and hate to owe others favors.

However, after hearing the first half of Chu Guang's words, she always felt that she had heard some amazing secrets, which caused her friends a lot of trouble.

Although she didn't understand what the phone was saying, she just listened.

Thinking of this, Pai couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had just quit out in time or reminded Chu Guang to be here instead of subconsciously hiding behind the bookshelf.

Now I can’t explain it clearly!

I...I'll delete that memory from my brain!

That's not necessary, I said, I believe you.

Chu Guang coughed dryly and quickly stopped Pai, who was in chaos.

By the way, can you really do this by deleting memories from the brain?

But now is not the time to discuss this.

In order not to seem too deliberate, Chu Guang did not rush to expose his needs.

Looking at Pai who was silent, he accidentally changed the subject and naturally threw the topic over.

You seem to have something to come to me, can you tell me what it is?

Pai, who was guilty, completely lost her previous momentum, secretly glanced at Chu Guang and said in a low voice.

I... want to take Xiaoyu back to Camp No. 101.

Take the fish away?

Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang was slightly stunned and looked at her with a strange expression.

You want to take Xiaoyu to Camp No. 101... Shouldn't you ask her about her own opinions?

And her parents or her brother.

What's the use of asking me?

Pai whispered in a low voice.

I asked...but she said that although she wanted to go there, she wanted to stay and help you.I just thought, if you can help me persuade her... would my request be too much.

Chu Guang asked after thinking for a while.

I can ask, do you want to take her to your place?

Pai said seriously.

I want to take her to school!We have a real school there that can teach her a lot of knowledge that is not available here!

Her mental talent is the most powerful of everyone I have ever met. Here she will only waste her talent, and she should receive a higher education!

The most amazing one...is it better than your teacher?Xia Yan showed a surprised expression on his face.

Pai shook her head and continued with a serious expression.

Talent and knowledge are two concepts... and even if they belong to the category of mind, they are completely different when they are subdivided into different fields.At least counting this, her talent is indeed the best among all the people I have ever met.

Suddenly thinking about something, Pai's eyes lit up and continued.

By the way, in your words, she has the characteristics of awakening!

Awakening?!

...Little fish?

Xia Yan was stunned, his eyes widened like goldfish.

She could not associate Xiaoyu with the Awakened.

Although Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was also surprised, but he did not show it on his face, but fell into deep thought.

He had felt before that Xiaoyu was learning things very quickly.

Especially spatial imagination and computing power, even he was surprised.

Because of this, Chu Guang also asked Heya to help Xiaoyu have a physical examination.

However, what puzzled him was that although her intellectual attributes were slightly higher than those of ordinary people, they were not so high as to the extreme.

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't say anything, Pai couldn't help but feel anxious and said quickly.

...I don't want to watch her waste her talent. She can obviously stand on a higher stage to achieve more beautiful achievements.

What's more, she has learned a lot of amazing knowledge, which is also helpful to you, right?

Chu Guang looked at Pai.

You calm down first, of course I agree with you, but this requires my consent first.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

I will help you convince Xiaoyu and her parents, and if she has any ideas in this regard, I will fully support her.

Hearing this promise, Pai's face showed a joyful expression.

Thanks!

Looking at the girl's happy look, Chu Guang said with a smile.

You're welcome, she is still young. If you can develop better with you, I certainly hope that she can learn more knowledge while she is young.

He paused for a moment, and then said.

Speaking of which, you will be back in a few days.

Pai nodded excitedly.

Well, I have to go back and report the visit to my teacher...Ah, don't worry, I will say more good things!

Looking at Pai who had misunderstood his meaning, Chu Guang shook his head gently.

There is no need to deliberately say anything good, just tell him the most real situation here.However, I do have something to help you.

Pai, who couldn't wait to repay the favor, said with a bright look.

Just tell me if you have anything. As long as I can help, I will do my best!

Are you familiar with the manager of Shelter No. 101?Chu Guang asked.

Mr. Manager?Pai's eyes lit up and he nodded, of course he was familiar with it, our relationship is good... Is there anything wrong?

That's great, I breathed a sigh of relief, and a comfortable smile appeared on Chu Guang's face. I want to ask your manager to borrow something.

Borrow something?Don't worry, leave it to me!Mr. Manager is a very good person and will definitely lend it to you!Pai patted her chest and made a promise, and then continued to ask curiously, "By the way, what are you going to borrow?"

VM, full name is Vital Sign Monitor, Chu Guang pointed to the wrist-mounted computer on his arm, and it was this thing.

VM?I'll try... Pai, who agreed with her mouth, unconsciously tilted her head.

Screen on your arm?

If you just borrow it, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

After all, he is a very easy-going person.

But then again, does Mr. Manager really have this thing?

She has no impression of this at all...

……

After Pai left.

Only Chu Guang and Xia Yan were left in the browsing room.

Watching the brisk and joyful back disappear at the door, Xia Yan's expression on her face was slightly complicated.

She didn't know whether she was envious of Xiaoyu's youth, luck, talent, or just regretting her past fate.

When she was so old, she had tried her best to survive just to live.

The greatest favor from the goddess of luck for her was probably to save her life from the creeper's mouth, but as the price of survival, she also lost one leg.

Xia Yan knew that he actually envied Xiaoyu.

She can do what she is interested in, and she just happens to have talent in this area.

When she needs help the most, someone will always stand up and pick her up, or tell her the most suitable choice.

When we play poker, everyone gets different cards, but it does not mean that you will lose if you get bad cards.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Xia Yan turned his head and gave Chu Guang a blank look.

Don't always talk to me like an old man... You are not my father.

I just said casually.Chu Guang smiled, paused for a while, and continued, can I ask you something?

It's really strange to hear the word please from you. Xia Yan teased, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Chu Guang continued.

Go abroad with Xiaoyu.

Xia Yan was stunned, as if he had never expected Chu Guang to say this suddenly.

Studying abroad?What is that...

Chu Guang said concisely.

It means learning, to learn something we don’t have, or is not good enough here.

But……

Seeing the concerns in her eyes, Chu Guang continued.

I have taught you addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, geometry, algebra, and reading and writing, but I have no choice but to know more difficult things. After all, I am not the material for this.If you want to make greater progress, you have to make it by yourself.

It’s not too late to study at all, not to mention that you are not very old, and in my hometown, you are just the age when you just went to college.

Xia Yan whispered.

But...what can I learn?

Chu Guang said with a smile.

You can learn whatever you like, it depends on what you like.I remember you like to fiddle with those mechanical ones?There are quite a lot of experts who understand this.

Remember to learn more skills and come back.

A long time ago, shelter No. 404 got a magnetically constrained plasma cutting machine tool, which can perform atomic-scale processing.

However, so far, this machine tool has only been used to process some very basic parts.

No one has yet to bring out the true strength of that high-precision industrial master machine.

...Of course, this kind of thing depends on your own wishes. If you don't want to, I won't force it.

Xia Yan stared at Chu Guang blankly.

After a while, her eyes stopped wandering and gradually became firm.

I do.

Although she doesn't understand what she can do without talent, deep down, she still has a little desire to become stronger.

This may be an opportunity.

She felt she should catch it.

Looking at Boss Xia, who finally made up his mind to take this step, Chu Guang nodded with approval.

I will arrange for others to do it at the weapons store, and I will settle the salary this month to you in advance.

Although I have no salary after that, I will still give you a sum of money regularly as living expenses.

Is it rich if you don’t work? Xia Yan’s expression was a little embarrassed.

Although she usually stumbles a lot, she still does things after all.

She always feels strange if she doesn't work.

I won’t send you money. Do you see you starving to death, or do you have the habit of saving money?

After making a joke, after a moment of pause, Chu Guang changed into a serious tone and continued, saying that this funding will be spent by the newly established Ministry of Education, which you can understand as... public study abroad.

Introducing technology that does not exist from other developed survivor settlements is a part of Chu Guang's layout in the field of education, which is as important as archaeology.

The method is not limited to inviting teachers to run a school, or actively sending people to study.

There is no such condition now.

When he has the conditions in the future, he will send people to Ideal City or even the college to work or study.

Looking at Xia Yan whose expression was slightly touched, Chu Guang continued.

You can prepare well these days.
