Chapter 1073: Heavily Guarded
Walking out of the underground laboratory, leaving the dangerous goods functional sector, Richard looked around the Garden of Eden, and walked towards the third laboratory of the machining sector - the place where the tin wood was located.
This was the reason why he had to know some basic information about the Garden of Eden in consideration of his imminent journey—which should have been a daily job, but it had been delayed because he had recently devoted himself entirely to the development of nuclear weapons.

Richard walked and soon came to the door of Research Room Three.
Due to Pandora's un"gentle" behavior a few days ago, the door to Research Room 3 was replaced by a spare door, painted with blue-gray paint, which looked out of place with the walls.
After seeing the door, Richard couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but he didn't say anything, opened the door and walked in.
Inside the door, the tin wood had grown to a height of two and a half meters, and the huge container point was difficult for him to accommodate, and at this time, the tin wood was stuck on the bib of the container at an oblique angle, continuing to absorb the nutrient solution.
With the absorption of tin wood, there is a skin tube next to it to inject a new nutrient solution to keep the liquid level in a relatively balanced state.
Richard walked to the front of the container, and Ximu noticed it, and a human face appeared on the trunk, and asked aloud, "What, what's the matter?"
"Nothing serious. I just wanted to ask you, you've been consolidating your Origin Power for so long, you can work normally and absorb energy, right?" Richard said.
"Absolutely. Ximu replied, pausing and then saying, "However, if your need for energy is not very urgent, I suggest that you give me a few more days of grace so that I can continue to consolidate my origin." In this way, you will get an excess return on your energy in the future. ”
"In other words, your current state is relatively flexible, and you can choose to continue to consolidate your Origin Power or absorb energy, right?" Richard confirmed.
"Yes. Ximu did not deny it, "But it should be noted that if I choose to continue to consolidate the Origin Power, after consolidation, I can easily transform into a state of absorbing energy." On the contrary, if I choose to absorb energy from now on, after absorbing a certain amount of energy, it will be difficult to return to consolidate the source power.
To illustrate with your human example, it's like you human women will always have a strange ceremony with a man called a wedding before they get pregnant and give birth to the next generation.
In this order, it is relatively normal and easy. And if you don't, on the other hand, it will be more difficult for a human woman to conceive and give birth to the next generation, and then find another man to get married—not at all, but it is indeed much more difficult. You get the idea, right?"
Richard: "......"
In fact, I understood what you said at the beginning, and there was no confusion. But the example you gave later really made me a little curious...... The corners of Richard's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ximu: "Haven't you been living in the forest, how do you know so clearly about human marriage and childbirth?"
"Hmph. Ximu said in a nasal voice, "Boy, don't think that I live in the forest, just like a tree. I've told you many times, I'm a high being, I'm the Sage of the Tree, the Source of the Forest, the Guardian of Immortality, Yggdrasil Al Haydon Simu, and I'm even higher than you humans. So, I know all these human things, is it weird?"
Humans don't care about humans, but it's really strange that you, an immortal, care about human reproduction...... Richard shook his head in his heart, looked at Ximu and was not ready to continue the discussion on such a topic, and said, "Okay, since you can choose to consolidate the origin power now or choose to absorb energy, then you should continue to consolidate the origin power." ”
After all, if you go to the Northern Wilderness next, you will be on the move for a long time, and if you want to absorb energy, you won't meet the conditions...... Richard showed a serious expression, looked at Ximu, and did not forget to warn: "But you can consolidate the source power, but it is better to settle down, if there are any bad motives, then the result may be very unsightly." ”
"Boy, I don't need you to remind me. Since I've already failed once, I'm willing to gamble and lose, and I'll leave here after I've fully fulfilled my contract with you, and I won't cause any trouble. So, don't doubt me. "Ximu Road.
Maybe...... Richard said in his heart.
"I hope so. Richard spoke, turned, waved his hand with his back to the tinwood, and walked out.
......
"Bang!"
The door to Research Room 3 closed, and Richard stood in the clearing, thought for a moment, and walked to a house on the left.
It was the abode of the old man of the lich.
Speaking of which, since the old man joined the Garden of Eden, he has been "fighting guerrillas", using an easy chair as a bed, settling down everywhere, and has no fixed residence.
Over time, he got used to it and acquiesced to this "wandering" lifestyle of the old man.
However, in the process of mobilizing Pandora, the Old Lichman, and the Eight-Armed Skeleton to urgently restore the Garden of Eden, the Old Lich Old Man made a small request, that is, to ask for a spacious room as a permanent residence.
When asked why, the old man pointed to the eight-armed skeleton and replied angrily, "Why do you say? It's not because this damn skeleton uses his hands and feet every day to dismantle the parts of my spell puppet that he has worked so hard to make."
I can't take it anymore, I need a room—a spacious room where I can sleep without it, but I'm going to let the spell puppet I made sleep in it, and when my spell puppet wakes up, it becomes 'mutilated'. ”
Faced with the reason of the old man Lich's righteous words, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse and agreed. Besides, the houses in the Garden of Eden have always been relatively surplus because they are self-built, and it is not difficult to vacate a room with a relatively large area.
As a result, the old man of the lich finally became a housekeeper.
Walking to a room the size of the Lich Old Man's warehouse, Richard reached out and knocked on the door.
"Tuk tuk?"
"Who?" asked the old man of the lich inside the door, cautiously, as if he were a thief.
"It's me. Richard spoke.
The old man of the lich inside the door immediately recognized the voice, after all, the only people in the Garden of Eden who could speak were none other than the old man himself, Pandora, Richard, Tin Wood, and a big yellow dog with a golden retriever. Every voice is extremely distinct, as long as it is heard, you can determine the identity, you can determine whether it is the damn mute bone thief - the eight-armed skeleton Anan.
After recognizing the voice, the old man of the lich let his guard down and responded, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Immediately Richard heard the sound of the latch pulling out of the door in turn.
One latch, two latches, three latches......
"Bang Bang!"
Then there was the sound of the iron lock opening.
One, two, three......
The old man of the lich inside the door tossed for dozens of seconds before he "squeaked" and opened the door.
As for the precautions so tight, you are still inside, are you still afraid of stealing...... Richard couldn't help but say in his heart.
However, seeing that the old man of the lich carefully opened the door a crack, poked his head out and quickly glanced around, making sure that he did not find the figure of the eight-armed skeleton Anan, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door a little wider, and let Richard in.
