Chapter 1055: One Hundred Years
"Smack!"
The voice sounded, and Pandora's hands grabbed the ends of the tin wood and began to force it to break again.
"Wait!" Ximu shouted helplessly and desperately, shouting at Richard, "Wait, boy, I'm ...... I'm going to work exactly your way, can't I?"
"Click!"
Richard, who had not walked far away, stopped, stretched out his hand to stop Pandora's further movements, looked at Ximu and said, "If you had done this earlier, wouldn't we have saved a lot of time." ”
"What's the use of saving time, isn't it also working for you. Ximu muttered, looked at Richard, and said angrily: "Hmph, boy, I kind of understand, you are sure that I cherish my life very much, so there is no bottom line to squeeze me, right?
"Is it insidious?" Richard disagreed, "not really. I am negotiating with you very openly now. I know you want to live, so it's not insidious to use this to blackmail you, because I'm all on the surface. ”
"Hmph......" Ximu was speechless for a while, and he had nothing to say, just a dissatisfied nasal voice.
"Smack!"
Richard patted his hands lightly and said, "Okay, since you agreed to my request, then let's have a good talk." For the content of the work, it has been determined, and the next thing to determine is the length of the work. ”
"Boy, how long do you want to torture me?" asked Ximu quickly, very concerned. For him, the working environment is a little poor, the workload is a little bigger, in fact, it is nothing, as an immortal species, it is almost impossible to be exhausted to death, the important thing is that he is sure that he will not continue to do this.
In his eyes, three years of doing this is almost enough, and if you do it for five years, you can endure it. Seven years is too much, if Richard dares to say ten years, on the premise of ensuring that he can survive, he will definitely use all his skills to fight Richard.
So, how long exactly?
Ximu looked at Richard with blazing eyes.
Richard smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "First of all, the previous contract period, there are still about six months to go, you have to fulfill it, do you agree with this?"
"Yes. Ximu replied, this is what he expected, and it is acceptable. After all, it's only six months, and it's all about what happens after that.
"What about the fulfillment?" asked Ximu.
"Fulfillment, in view of your poor performance during this contract period, we will sign and execute the second contract. The content of the work hasn't changed much, but in terms of time, I think," Richard said slowly.
Ximu interrupted Richard a little impatiently, and asked, "How long, boy?"
Richard chuckled and said, "What do you think, a hundred years?"
"What?" Ximu listened, his eyes widened suddenly, his expression became glazed, and he didn't seem to understand.
"A hundred years. Richard repeated it in earnest.
Ximu finally reacted, and the expression that followed became even more sluggish and incredulous.
A hundred years?
One hundred years!
Richard's voice, constantly echoing in his consciousness, made him feel like the whole world was blank.
Just kidding, a hundred years?
Must be joking, a hundred years!
After being stunned for a full five or six seconds, Ximu spoke, glared at Richard and shouted, "A hundred years?
"Why can't it be?"
"Do you know how long a hundred years is! I doubt you'll live to be a hundred years from now!"
"You don't have to worry about this, even if I really die due to some accident, my successor can supervise your continued performance of the contract for me, after all, I value the spirit of the contract. ”
"What about me? Shall I really stay with you for a hundred years? What a waste of my life!"
"Is there one?" Richard raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "Haven't you always claimed to be an immortal and a high-level life, but you are the guardian of immortality, 'Yuktra Hill Al Haydn Simu'." Your life span is extremely long, and a hundred years is actually not too long for you, right?"
"I ......" Ximu was speechless again, holding back for a long time, and finally found a reason to refute, "You can't just say that I will work as long as I want!
I was killed, captured, and rescued by you, and I only worked for you for a year. The situation is similar now, and it stands to reason that the same service should be one year, at most three years. As for a hundred years, there is no reason at all. ”
Speaking of which, it's very targeted...... Richard's eyebrows moved, not surprised, and nodded: "According to what you said, it is indeed more reasonable to let you work for a few more years." It's just that you're ignoring one thing. ”
"What?"
"Your escape has caused me a lot of damage to my property. Richard spoke, pointing casually to the side, "Look there, that's the third research room you used to stay in, and it's completely unusable now." The equipment inside should also be broken and need to be repaired, or remanufactured.
It's nothing, if you look at the surrounding buildings, because your escape has been affected by the energy, and it has an immeasurable impact. For the sake of safety, a lot of inspections and repairs need to be done, which is not a low investment at all.
The most important thing is the ground, you see you've smashed a lot of holes......"
"Aren't they just a few pits!" Listening to Richard's words, Ximu was a little anxious, "It's a big deal that I'll fill it in for you, you can't just let me work for decades or hundreds of years just because of this, right?"
"That's not what I said. Richard glanced at Ximu deeply, shook his head and said seriously, "You have to be clear about one thing, that is, it is easier to destroy than to build." Sometimes, it can take decades or hundreds of years to build, but it only takes a second to destroy.
Let's just talk about the ground, you look at the simple ground, but it is the most basic part of the entire space, and all the buildings and equipment are built on it. Your attack on the ground will cause an incalculable shift in the ground, which is very small, but when you conduct some precise research and experiments, the error caused is extremely fatal.
So, you might think I'm lying, so I'll give you a real example. There was once a powerful country that pooled the power of the whole country to create a mechanical creation called Apollo One. This mechanical creation, highly sophisticated, is made of hundreds of thousands of parts. As a result, a small part had a problem that caused the artifact to fail when it was used, causing not only many losses, but also three casualties.
All in all, the more seemingly small a place, the more impactful it is. So, you now have two options: either restore everything in this space item to its original state and make no difference compared to before. Then after you fulfill this contract, you can work for me for another year, and you can leave.
Or, according to the huge damage you have caused to my property, it will be converted into working hours to compensate me, which is almost a hundred years. ”
