Chapter 3: Kaleidoscope
After all, it is mutated, it is rare to see in ordinary times, it can be said that it can be met but not sought, and now it is impossible for Lin Ruo to agree with it if he gives up like this.
He didn't want his sister to be the same as him, and the source of his life beast was also a coincidence, although it was only a second-order life beast blue wolf, but when he was ten years old, he had no relatives and friends to rely on, and with his strength at that time, he was afraid that he couldn't get a first-order life beast.
It's also a coincidence, if he hadn't inadvertently picked up a spirit stone containing a life beast on the street on that birthday, and signed a contract after returning home, I'm afraid that he would only be a person abandoned by Blue Star in this life.
Even if he signed a contract with a second-order blue wolf, because at that time he had already given up the idea of becoming a great life master, so he didn't care about himself in the future.
He is envious of those who soar in the sky and release great power, and have all kinds of bright colors on their bodies, there is no one on the Blue Star Road who does not want to become a powerful life master, because this is a world where strength is supreme, and only strong power can stand in this world.
Thinking about it, six years have passed since that day, and his sister has grown from being taken care of by him to a helper who can help him take care of some chores at home, and as for his natal beast, the blue wolf, has also completed his last evolution.
Over the years, he has experienced some hardships but also makes him feel satisfied, he has been dexterous since he was a child, and has a unique hobby for machines, and this is also the reason why he was able to enter Xingsha Academy.
The old man had brown hair and a long beard, standing in front of the young Lin Ruo, who was playing with a small instrument he had gotten from the garbage heap, which he had seen in the cupboard of the store, which was a thing called a kaleidoscope.
When he saw it for the first time, he didn't know what this thing was for, but after seeing the name, he thought that this thing called Kaleidoscope should be a very magical thing, and in the following days he lay on the outside of the store every day, and paid special attention to the store manager to introduce the goods to customers, and finally he waited for the introduction of the kaleidoscope.
The kaleidoscope is cylindrical and surrounded by a layer of gold, and on either side of it, one side is tightly sealed, and the other side is a piece of glass, through which the eye can see the various scenes presented inside, colorful, colorful and constantly changing.
Lin Ruo was fascinated when he heard it, he never thought that there was such a magical thing in the world, and he hated to bring such a thing to his sister Lin Qianmeng, so that she could have a gadget, but the price of the kaleidoscope made him stop, a hundred star sand coins, he and his sister didn't spend so much for a whole year.
This made him a little depressed, until today when he suddenly saw this thing on this side of the garbage heap.
Although the surrounding iron sheet has been somewhat dented due to excessive squeezing, and even the gold of Watanabe next to it has gradually faded, stained with the color of the earth, and looks dirty, but Lin Ruo doesn't mind at all.
He went over to pick up the broken kaleidoscope, the mirror part of the kaleidoscope had been shattered, but Lin Ruo could still see the changing colors inside through the remaining mirror above, just as the store manager introduced to the customer.
Of course, Lin Ruo couldn't take this thing that looked like a burnt stick to his sister now, he needed to do some tinkering work.
The internal structure of the kaleidoscope is not actually damaged, it is nothing more than the color of the outside fades, which is very simple, he only needs to wipe it with a rag, and then re-dye it with some dark dye, and dye some anti-rust oil on the outside.
In the past, when he was trying to make a living, he used to work in these places, and even if he was no longer there, the store manager would treat him kindly when he saw him coming, and take something that he didn't need and had to throw away.
As for the glass piece in front, it was obvious that there was no need for others to worry about, because he had also worked in a place specializing in glass manufacturing before, and now the boss easily gave him some whole pieces of glass, although it was also leftover.
And now Lin Ruo's work seems to have encountered a little trouble, when he changes the mirror, the inside of the kaleidoscope will not show a change of color as he began to think, he doesn't know what the principle is, which makes him sit on the ground with some confusion, the kaleidoscope is held in his hand, and his eyes are looking at the broken glass slag.
"Little one, isn't it what you think?" The crane-haired and long-bearded old man looked at Lin Ruo with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the wrinkles on his forehead drooped to one place.
The old man came over and saw that Lin Ruo thought it was funny, so he thought about a few words, where did he think that Lin Ruo was very vigilant about him, and ignored him at all, and he blew his beard and glared at him angrily.
No matter how I say it, Yu Jia is also a dean-level figure, so unpleasant.
He was about to step forward to ask a few words, but seeing Lin Ruo's serious expression, he thought about it and looked at it for a while.
And Lin Ruo felt that this old man didn't seem to be a good person, so he chose to ignore it.
The old man thought about it, but didn't continue to care, the hand like a withered branch, with heavy calluses, slowly brushed his long beard.
After Lin Ruo put down his things and died bitterly, he spoke.
"If I have a way to help you present this kaleidoscope as it should, can you promise me one thing?"
"Really?" Lin Ruo looked at the old man with wide eyes, although the old man said this, he still remained skeptical about it, but the urge to surprise his sister was far greater than the doubt in his heart now, "If you can do it, then I will promise you, but you can't let me do something very bad and bad!" ”
"My Yujia is famous, how can I deceive a child, it's definitely not a bad thing to rest assured, it's still a very good thing."
A little kid, not too old, not small.
He was dumbfounded for a while, so he took the kaleidoscope from Lin Ruo's hand, and then took the glass piece that had just been installed in a way that Lin Ruo had never seen before, and observed it carefully, smiling while watching, "The handiwork is good, it is a good material, but you need to know some principles." ”
Then Lin Ruo only felt that the scene in front of him changed suddenly, the old man's original uneasy appearance disappeared completely, and what appeared in front of him was a righteous face, he only saw the old man's hand moving back and forth on the glass piece, and there was a sizzling sound in his ears, and then a light flashed, as if he was magic.
After a while, the old man stopped, and finally put the glass piece back into the kaleidoscope and handed it to Lin Ruo.
"How about you take a look now?"
"Yes." Lin Ruo took the kaleidoscope and looked inside through the glass piece, and now a new world seemed to appear inside the kaleidoscope, and the colors inside were constantly changing, every moment, every minute and every second.
"How did you do that?" Lin Ruo asked in surprise.
"Call me master, and I'll teach you." The old man said a little mischievously.
If I, Yu Jia, can't even fix such a gadget, how can I mess around in this city of stars and moons, thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little smug in my heart.
Originally, the old man just said it casually, but he didn't want Lin Ruo to be very direct, so he immediately knelt down, knocked three times in a row, and then called out respectfully.
"Master!"
Since that day, Lin Ruo's life has undergone some changes, it turns out that this old man who calls himself Yu Jia is the dean of the Xingsha Academy Research Institute, he accidentally passed by here, saw Lin Ruo's skillful handiwork, and the idea of letting Lin Ruo enter the Xingsha Academy Research Institute was born in his heart.
The research institute of Xingsha Academy is not like the battle academy of Xingsha Academy, which has too much thirst for people's qualifications, and the research institute mainly has a heart that is keen on research.
Of course, in order to exempt Lin Ruo from tuition and fees, he also needs to do some chores in the school, but it also gives him the opportunity to make himself and his sister live better.
But this kind of life can be better in Lin Ruo's opinion, at least his sister should have a better life.
