Witch Special

Chapter 125: Fair play to children and the elderly: Children get big gift packages.

In the reception room on the first floor of the office building in the Baizhi factory, a little boy with a cold expression was sitting quietly in a chair that was too big for him, staring blankly. Apart from occasionally picking up the kettle on the table and taking a sip of the orange-flavored drink inside, he did not make any extra movements.

Judging from his appearance alone, no one can associate this cool and handsome kid with the glittering and famous title of an S-class hero. However, as the most famous superhero in the Hero Association, Child Emperor brings his own popularity wherever he goes.

Even in [Baizhi], a place that has been transformed by Lin Zhenxi's deep thinking, there are still many fans who are curious about or like Child Emperor gathered outside the door of the reception room, blocking the door.

Incidentally, among this group of fans, women, and mature women, account for almost 90%, which can be said to be all mother fans. The few men are all squeezed on the outside, wanting to get closer but afraid of being questioned about their motives, looking conflicted.

However, this situation soon disappeared because Lin Zhenxi walked in from the door with her ponytail swinging.

The large group of people who had gathered at the entrance to the reception room immediately formed neat rows on either side, bowing to greet Lin Zhenxi. Amidst a chorus of "Hello, Mr. Lin," Lin Zhenxi walked straight through the crowd, pushed open the door, and walked in.

With the crisp click of a lock and latch, the reception room door was firmly shut. The factory manager of the office area followed closely, waving his arms and shouting at everyone to return to their proper positions. He then personally stood guard at the door like a loyal watchdog.

In the reception room, Lin Zhenxi walked to the opposite side of Child Emperor, pulled out a chair and sat on it, put his hands on the table, and looked at Child Emperor opposite him.

"Since we've dealt with each other before, let's not bother with all that nonsense. I believe you don't like the red tape of those officials from the Hero Association. So, let's get straight to the point. What do you want and what can you give me?" After saying that, Lin Zhenxi crossed his legs, and the fabric of his jeans rubbed against each other, making a soft rustling sound.

Child Emperor put down the kettle in his hand, stared at Lin Zhenxi's face, and did not say a word.

Lin Zhenxi:?

After a moment's silence, Child Emperor finally spoke: "Yes, I am indeed very dissatisfied with some of the actions of those officials, but I don't want to discuss these institutional flaws today. Ms. Lin Zhenxi, I want to know, can the projection you used earlier appear anywhere?"

"Well... actually not all places are suitable, but I think that places where my soul cannot be projected into do not exist in this world." Lin Zhenxi gave a seemingly contradictory answer.

It was all about mystery. This world offered no protection from mystery. Once Lin Zhenxi's glass altar had been cast, the entire environment was shrouded in a layer of mystery, bearing Lin Zhenxi's imprint. Lin Zhenxi's soul projection appeared in such a place, free and unfettered as if returning home. Of course, there were no restrictions.

If it were in another mysterious world, Lin Zhenxi would need to use his own mystery to cover up other mysteries first, and it would not be as easy to exaggerate as it is here.

Anyway, Child Emperor understood that the previous sentence was definitely humble, which meant that Lin Zhenxi's soul projection could appear anywhere at will.

That being the case...

"Ms. Lin Zhenxi, I am very interested in your projection technology."

"As you're aware, some experiments are conducted at extremely dangerous locations and can only be conducted remotely. However, under the intense energy radiation, the signals from various detectors are severely interfered with, resulting in severe distortion and deviation. Each calibration is extremely time-consuming, and the final result is only simulated data after fitting, which is very likely completely different from the actual situation."

"So, I'm wondering if we could use your projection technology to closely observe the reaction. After all, compared to indirectly understanding the progress of the experiment using various detectors, on-site observation is obviously more intuitive and easier to pinpoint the source of the problem. Ms. Lin Zhenxi, your invention may help the scientific community solve a major problem that has long plagued us."

After Child Emperor's explanation, even though Lin Zhenxi's attainments in science were not high, she understood what he wanted to do.

Experiments are always accompanied by unexpected events, whether in science or magic. The more sophisticated the equipment, the more unstable the materials, the harsher the conditions, and the more unique the environment, the greater the probability of an accident. Explosions and fires are often inevitable consequences, and occasionally, even more dangerous things like toxic gases, viruses, and radiation can escape, escalating accidents into disasters.

Why do testing accidents cause casualties? Isn't it because those tests must be monitored? Once an accident occurs, those who don't escape will naturally die inside.

Now there is a technology that allows people to stay in a safe place and observe the progress of the experiment at close range on site through projection. They can also run directly into the reaction tank, the high-pressure chamber, the furnace oven, or even into the core of the reactor to observe the progress of the experiment at close range. Will this technology make scientific researchers excited to the point of going crazy?

I'll go crazy straight away.

Lin Zhenxi exclaimed "Wow~", straightened her legs, supported her chin with her hands, and stared at Child Emperor with interest.

While the opponent is a child, and Child Emperor is indeed only ten years old and even needs cram school, who in this world could truly treat Child Emperor as a child? His high intelligence, mature thinking, and outstanding contributions to society and humanity all require him to be treated as an adult. His young age does not mean he is immature, but rather symbolizes his limitless future possibilities.

This S-class hero did have a lot of things that Lin Zhenxi wanted. Lin Zhenxi had recently been thinking about stealing the energy output device that seemed to be a small nuclear fusion device from the super cannon. Now that Child Emperor had delivered it to her, such a coincidence made Lin Zhenxi even wonder if he had noticed something.

That shouldn't be the case. Lin Zhenxi was peeking through the Glass Altar, and there wasn't even a soul projection. How could Child Emperor know what she was thinking?

So, it was Child Emperor who came to him as a fat sheep? If that's the case, then Lin Zhenxi will not be polite.

After some mental consideration, Lin Zhenxi confirmed that Child Emperor's request could be fulfilled. Although the people in this world lacked mysticism and could not use any magic items, Lin Zhenxi could create some fool-proof magic items that even Muggles without mysticism could use.

The soul projection Child Emperor seeks is unrealistic. Without mystical powers, it's impossible for anyone in this world to condense a clear, complete soul out of their body. Only powerful espers like Tornado have a chance. However, what Child Emperor wants isn't soul projection, but rather the ability to observe what's happening in the area where the reaction is occurring—the "clairvoyance" of the Glass Altar.

It is impossible for Maki Lin to give the original Ruridan to Child Emperor, and even if she did, he wouldn't be able to use it because it relies on high-quality magic power to operate.

But she can make a pocket-sized, castrated version for Child Emperor. If the display range of the three-dimensional projection is limited to a very small area, then the demand for magic power by the Glazed Altar will also become very small. It is even possible to directly use batteries to provide energy, and then use the built-in energy conversion magic circle to convert electricity into magic power to maintain the operation of the Glazed Altar.

Technically, this is feasible. With just some modifications, Lin Zhenxi can complete a transactable version of the Liulitan.

So, what does she want from Child Emperor?

Of course, it's better to ask Child Emperor for a ready-made nuclear fusion device than to try to dismantle it yourself, which might lead to problems. Not only does he want the manufacturing method, but he also wants the ready-made one! Lin Maki wants it all!

Although Lin Zhenxi has studied the energy output device layer by layer through the Glazed Altar, knowing the internal structure is useless. Without knowing the materials and production methods, even if Lin Zhenxi imitates it, he can only make a proportional replica, which is impossible to use.

"So you want my projection device? Fine, trade it for your energy system. I want the big ball that powered the turret when you built it."

Child Emperor didn't seem surprised by Lin Zhenxi's request. He nodded in agreement, and a robotic arm emerged from his backpack. A small USB drive, the size of a fingernail, was inserted into the arm. Child Emperor unplugged the USB drive, let the robotic arm hold it, and placed it in front of Lin Zhenxi.

"This is the full-process design diagram of the magnetized target laser fusion pulse generator. If Miss Lin Zhenxi needs it, I have two experimental prototypes and can give them to you as well."

"So generous? Excuse me, this doesn't seem to be the normal process of business negotiations." Lin Zhenxi fiddled with the pocket-sized USB flash drive, feeling very strange.

"Because this isn't a negotiation, but an equal and mutually beneficial exchange between two scientific researchers. I need Ms. Lin Zhenxi's projection system, and your offer is within my acceptable range, so it's better to just go for it."

"You're really not afraid that I will default on my debt. You trust me so much?" Lin Zhenxi put away the USB flash drive in his hand and said with a smile.

Child Emperor didn't answer, but picked up the schoolbag at hand, put the water cup into the side pocket of the schoolbag, then put the schoolbag on his back and jumped off the chair.

It looks like he's planning to leave.

"Okay, I accept. Tell me your contact information and I'll send it to you once it's finished. But let me be clear, I can only guarantee the functionality of 'Perspective'. The specific implementation may be slightly different from what you requested."

Child Emperor walked to the door, pushed the doorknob, stopped, turned his head and looked at Lin Zhenxi, and said, "I believe in Mr. 'Explosion's' perspective on people. Monsters and disasters are emerging one after another. If we humans don't keep up, we will all be doomed. And Miss Lin Zhenxi, you are worthy of being our comrade."

"Farewell."
