Chapter 1672: The So-called Ordinary (Curling in a Ball and Eating Claws)
Of course, Fang Zheng didn't think he was very dark, and in fact he had drawn up a magical contract for Main. Of course, there is no patent law in this world, and it is certainly impossible for Founder to apply for a patent for a paper machine. Otherwise, he would definitely patent every part and production process of the paper machine, and make a patent barrier that no one can overcome.
But can this stump him?
Joke!
Founder directly divided the paper machine into two steps, the body and the module, and then authorized them separately. Just like the game body and DLC, the paper machine is the body, the module is DLC, and the upgrade module is DLC2.0, that is to say, if someone else wants to get a license from the Main workshop, then the authorization of the paper machine body and the module cannot be missing, if someone wants to pick up the cheap, it is useless to only buy the module license and not buy the body!
The magic contract of this world is absolutely valid! Once violated, there will be five thunderstorms!
So if you want to make paper, you have to obediently buy the ontology and module license, and then wait to buy DLC2, DLC3, DLC4......... Empower it!
"Mr. Fangzheng, you are simply a robbery!"
After reading the contract drafted by Fang Zheng, Mei Yin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, while Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.
"Nonsense, how can I make more money in robbery?"
ββ¦β¦β¦ But isn't that a good idea......... After all, I'm ......... with Mr. Banno."
"Feelings belong to feelings, and business belongs to business."
As soon as Fang Zheng looked at Mei Yin, he knew that the little girl had committed the biggest mistake of a student who had not entered the society, that is, talking about feelings and not business......... That's not a good thing.
"There is a saying in my hometown that my brother still settles accounts, I know that Mr. Banno is good to you, but we are not without returns, and it is convenient for me to give him exclusive authorization. If you can't bear it, you can consider giving him priority when discussing it with him later. β
"Priority?"
"That's right, when the contract expires after three years, the Chirbota Chamber of Commerce has the option of renewing it first, and we will not be in contact with other chambers until they make a decision. You can talk about it when you negotiate with Mr. Banno and write it in the contract, and he should be able to accept itβββ of course, and set a time limit. β
"Okay, I see."
Hearing this, Mei Yin's originally somewhat uneasy expression suddenly became much clearer, she nodded happily, and then left in a hurry.
The little girl is still young after all.
Looking at the back of Mei Yin leaving, Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled. He could imagine how ugly Banno's face would be when he heard Main's offer of this condition.
But what does this have to do with him?
However, for Fang Zheng, the day's affairs did not end here, after dinner, he finally saw Mai Lu, who had been autistic.
"Yo, finally out of customs? How does it feel? β
Looking at Mai Lu, who was gray, Fang Zheng said hello with a smile, but Mai Lu was not as lively as usual, and the whole person was depressed.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what should we do.........
"Tell me what you think?"
Fang Zheng sat behind his desk, looking at Mai Lu in front of him. Mai Lu, on the other hand, frowned, showing a distressed expression.
"I......... I don't really know what to do......... I ........."
As she spoke, Mai Lu lowered her head.
"I used to be an obedient child, and everyone praised me as an honor student, and I was like that since I was a child, my grandparents, my parents, my teachers, and my classmates, they all expected too much of me. Everyone thinks I'm a genius, but I'm not a genius at all, I'm just a little bit better than everyone else. β
"It's not easy for other people's children to be."
Regarding Mai Lu's emotion, Fang Zheng also nodded with deep sympathy.
"However, everyone doesn't think so, my family too, my classmates too, they all think that since I am an honor student, then I will definitely take the first place in the grade, since I am an honor student, then I will definitely be able to do sports, since I am an honor student, then I will definitely be able to be admitted to a famous university.........
Saying this, Mailu held the hem of her skirt tightly.
"At that time, I could only try to respond to other people's expectations. Study hard to be the first in the age, and try hard to study for a prestigious university, but even so, nothing has changed, no, or because of this, nothing will change......... That day was also ........."
As she spoke, Mailu's eyes darkened.
"On that day, after reading the farewell speech, I left the university where I had studied for three years, and everyone was happy and went home in groups, and I was still alone. It was at that time that a little girl was accidentally pushed onto the road by them, and then a large truck came........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
"But no one was trying to save the girl, and many people were closer to her, but they all stood by and watched, and everyone looked at me. They didn't speak, but I knew what they were thinking. β
(That kid's motor nerves are good)
(That kid should be able to be saved.)
"I pushed the kid away and ........."
With that, Mai Lu looked into her hands.
"I came to a place like heaven, and then a goddess who called herself Akuya, the goddess of water, appeared in front of me and asked me what I wanted, so I thought of it......... If my abilities are not that good, if my abilities are just average, then ......... Maybe there will be a different life. β
It's a pity that it was messed up.
"You and Mai Yin are really two extremes."
After listening to Mai Lu's story, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Main's desire to be too true to herself is that she has done everything to read books, so much so that she is willing to do such things as changing world civilization, just so that she and everyone around her can read books.
As for the impact it will have on the whole world, Main doesn't care or care.
On the other hand, Mailu is too loyal to the desire of others, like a puppet, and she can even give up her own life in order to respond to the expectations of others.........
But this is also normal, Fang Zheng has also seen many students like this, in school because they listen to the words of teachers and parents, so their grades are very good. But it's different when you go to society, after all, in school, the goal is very simple, just like Mailu, to be the first in age, or the top ten, and to be admitted to a good high school or university, is the only expectation of parents and teachers, so as long as you work hard in this area.
But after entering the society, it is different, people need to act by finding their own goals, and work is not just a simple job, but also to maintain interpersonal relationships and learn the skills of getting along in the workplace. This is not as simple as in the school, and Founder has seen some students who graduated from prestigious universities break down and cry in the office and choose to resign......... It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't know what I should do or what I should do.
It's definitely not Founder's fault for asking for overtime.
After all, if the code farmer doesn't work overtime, how can he experience life?
You can't afford to blame me, do you?
996 is good fortune.
Like Mai Lu, if she takes a job after entering the society, in Fang Zheng's opinion, she is probably the kind of unpopular office woman, and then she is willing to even uncover the unspoken rules for the sake of bad performance, and then she is abandoned by a man and washes her face with tears after having a baby.........
"And what do you think about yourself?"
"I......... I just want to live an ordinary life. β
Mai Lu was also at a loss at this moment, and Fang Zheng could see that this was just a simple concept for Mai Lu.
It's like asking someone, do you want a happy life?
Then most people definitely answered yes.
And then ask what happiness do you want?
Many people were immediately blindfolded.
Just like Mailu now, she expects an ordinary life, but what kind of life is ordinary enough, Mailu really hasn't thought about it.
However, Mailu is sure that what happened to those adventurers who were defeated by the goblins had absolutely nothing to do with the ordinary life she wanted.
"If you want an ordinary life, I can show you the way."
"Huh? Are you sure? β
Sure enough, hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mai Lu immediately raised her head to look at Fang Zheng with bright eyes.
"That's right."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"You can go to a small village and buy a house and farm your own land there and raise some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep or something......... Have you ever played Ranch Story? It's like that kind of life, where the sun rises and the sun sets all day long, how about it? It's ordinary. β
"That's really ......... Very ordinary........."
"That's how ordinary life is."
Fang Zheng changed his posture and leaned back in his chair.
"In many villages, some people may have never been to the city in their lives, but they are still very happy, isn't this the ordinary you want? Every day I go out to the fields, feed the chickens, then say hello to everyone in the village, talk about the world, and then find a farmer to marry and have a few children......... How is it? It doesn't get any more ordinary than that. β
"That's right..............."
Although it was indeed ordinary, Mailu's expression was subtle.
"It's boring."
"Huh?"
"Isn't this life boring?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, Mai Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
"So what you want is not an ordinary life at all."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, Mailu stopped talking.
"In that case, I'll leave you a homework."
Fang Zheng is not a devil, looking at Mai Lu's dejected appearance, he also put forward his own opinion.
"Homework?"
"That's right, Main's been busy with her business lately, you can go and help, do you know what Main's doing?"
"This ......... I'm not very sure. β
Mailu shook her head, she had been in her room since she came back from the goblin lair, her mind full of thoughts such as "this is not the life I want, what kind of life do I want", and she didn't pay attention to these things.
"She's improving papermaking and wants to make books affordable to everyone in the world."
"Huh? Oops?! β
Hearing this, Mai Lu was stunned.
"Main, she......... Is it so powerful? β
"Hahaha, isn't it amazing, you can see it yourself, I think Mainne also needs help, and you, who are also a traverser, will definitely be very helpful to her, so be it."
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
After having a goal, Mai Lu is not as dazed as before, of course, part of the reason is that Mei Yin is a traverser like herself, so she is more suitable. She happily bowed to Fang Zheng, and then opened the door.
"Yikes."
"Ah, hello, Miss Priest."
Looking at the goddess official standing at the door and about to knock on the door, Mai Lu was also startled, and hurriedly nodded in response.
"Do you have something to do with Mr. Fangzheng?"
"Yes, is it convenient now?"
"Of course, come in."
Fang Zheng nodded to the goddess officer standing at the door, and the goddess officer and Mai Lu also exchanged a salute, and then walked into the room and closed the door.
"Welcome back, how's the test going?"
"Yes, I have successfully passed the test of Mother Earth God."
Saying this, the goddess clenched her fists excitedly.
"Mother Earth God has given me a brand new magic, and it's two! Your Excellency Knight! β
"Congratulations, speaking of which, Ace's gift seems to have been upgraded to level 5 by the god she believes in, and the strength of your team has also increased a lot."
"Yes!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the goddess official also became more and more happy.
"But Megumi doesn't seem to have changed much........."
"Megumi is better like that........."
Hearing this, the goddess's face changed slightly.
It's very difficult to block the burst magic now, and if Megumi gets stronger again, it's really a question of whether they can come out alive.
"Ah, yes."
The two chatted for a few words, and the goddess seemed to have thought of something, and took out a letter from her bosom.
"Your Excellency Knight, this is what the Adventurer's Guild wants me to pass on to you."
"Letter?"
Fang Zheng took the envelope and opened it, carefully glanced at the contents inside, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered.
"I really didn't expect them to send it to the door."
"Your Excellency?"
Seeing that Fang Zheng's expression was wrong, the goddess official was also a little puzzled.
"Who's sending this letter?"
"The Society of the Magi from the Kingdom of Lugnica."
Fang Zheng casually threw the letter on the table.
"They asked me to go to the royal capital of Lugnica and give an explanation for the killing of Rozval, Count of the Frontier........."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the goddess official was taken aback.
"Are you alright, Your Excellency?"
"No big deal."
Facing the uneasy questioning of the goddess official, Fang Zheng waved his hand, and at the same time he narrowed his eyes and snorted lightly.
"It just so happens that I have something to ask them about as well."
