Chapter 69: The Old Man's Rebirth (Part II)
A few minutes later, the white-eyed elder came to the door of his destination, and a small sign hung on the dark red wooden door, on which the words "Da Ya Office" were prominently written.
Seeing this, the old man grabbed his beard and smiled bitterly, then straightened his clothes, dusted himself, and stood quietly waiting for his master to summon him. Even though he has become a prisoner, he still pays attention to etiquette and details.
After a while, the man named Yu Liang took him in, and the white-eyed old man followed Yu Liang closely, not looking much at the spacious and bright room, and went straight to meet the eyes of the owner of the house.
Just as he expected, the other party was the unusual duck, who was sitting on the couch and examining himself; Next to it was a familiar figure, Nazi, who had been released by Sakaki earlier.
The old man felt a little emotion in his heart, just a few days ago, he was still fighting a cruel battle with this little girl, consuming the strength of the other party to help Sakaki defeat the other party, and today, they were able to go to the same room and look at each other so calmly, it can only be said that the world is unpredictable.
Somewhat different from what he expected, Nazi didn't care about the past, on the contrary, after feeling his gaze, the other party stood up and nodded; On the contrary, the owner, Da Duck, did not react to his arrival, and even after the old man looked closely, he found that there was a finished corn cob on the desk in front of the other party, and the corners of its mouth were still stained with corn kernels.
The old man frowned slightly, and the other party's attitude made him a little dissatisfied. However, in the blink of an eye, he was relieved that the other party was just a Pokémon, and it was beyond reproach that he did not abide by human etiquette.
Thinking of this, the old man coughed lightly to indicate his existence, and at the same time sorted out his mood, ready to respond to the other party's inquiry with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant. In his opinion, the other party should at least ask about his life status and changes in his thoughts these days, even if the other party is not interested, he will be polite.
However, the duck in front of him, after looking at him for a while, asked lightly:
"Have you eaten?"
“……”
The old man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, and he slowed down for two seconds before saying:
"Not yet."
"Well, I have freshly roasted corn here, so you don't have to be polite to me."
“???”
Dare you call me here to invite me to eat roasted corn?
The old man looked at the hot roasted corn in Yu Liang's hand, at a loss, and then his pupils shrank, staring at the green skin that wrapped the corn.
"This is a corn leaf? No, leaves shouldn't feel like that......"
All he usually saw and ate was yellow, orange and orange corn, and there was no green skin at all, so he was extremely surprised. He had a feeling that this was part of the corn, because this kind of leaf he had never seen before, and could not be the leaf of another plant.
Could it be that someone has found a wild corn plant?
Thinking of this, the old man's heart could not be calm, he clutched the green skin in his hand tightly, and asked excitedly:
"Where did you get this?"
Duck was expressionless and pointed to the two plants in the living room.
After that, Da Duck said he couldn't understand.
I saw that the other party had been standing in front of the two plants, constantly stroking the corn cob and the stalks, as if he had seen some rare work of art. Seeing the other party dancing and touching the corn from top to bottom, Da Duck felt panicked.
How could a good old man suddenly go crazy?
Before it could speak, I saw the other party put a corn kernel into its mouth and chewed it slowly. The duck was a little worried, after all, it didn't know if the corn was poisonous or not.
After all, the corn cultivated with superpower water droplets is a completely new species to this world, and who knows if there will be any malice from the universe. Therefore, it never dared to eat the ear of corn, and roasted the corn from the Nazi Treasure Ball.
After confirming that the other party was okay, Da Da Ya knocked on the long wooden table with his fingers, causing the other party to turn around and say:
"Don't look at the corn, come and see me."
Only then did the old man realize his gaffe, and hurriedly coughed a few times, "I'm sorry, I'm too obsessed, please don't mind." In addition......"
When he calmed down, he realized that he had no idea how the corn was made and why it was in a pot in the living room. The only thing he knew was that the pokémon, who seemed to be calm, must know that in order to find answers, he had to show enough respect for it.
"Say whatever you want."
The other party was better communicating than it thought, and the old man couldn't wait to say the question in his heart:
"Where is this the plant found? How many of them? ”
In the old man's opinion, since the other party placed the two plants here without looking for a researcher to study them, he must not know their value. He must find a way to convince the other party to give the plant to him, no matter what the cost!
As long as you can find a way to produce food and solve the world's predicament, it will be worth it!
However, to his surprise again, Da Duck did not explain his experience of discovering corn plants, but replied very casually:
"I didn't find it, I don't know what's going on, anyway, I planted seeds yesterday, and they grew up today."
"What? Is corn grown? It only took a day to mature? ”
The old man couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart and shouted loudly.
"What, you're slow?"
"Slow, you yarn, slow!"
The old man really wanted to shout this sentence, but he held back. Although the other party looks like he doesn't care, if the other party is really angry, his plan will be over. So he blushed and stood there for a few minutes, swallowing the words back in his mouth.
Seeing this, Nazi hurriedly poured him a glass of water and asked him to sit on a stool. The old man said thank you, and after taking a sip of water, his mood gradually calmed down.
It's really embarrassing to be thrown home today, and I didn't even maintain a little demeanor, which made the juniors see the jokes. However, the matter of the corn plant still made him obsessed, so he cheekily asked:
"Duck ...... Little friend, is what you just said true? ”
"Why am I lying to you?"
In order to make the other party completely convinced, Da Duck simply demonstrated the growth process of a plant, and the moment he saw the young shoots breaking out of the ground, the old man stood up abruptly and stared at the flower pot without moving.
Da Duck hurriedly covered his ears, for fear that the other party would roar again, which made the old man smile awkwardly and said:
"It's okay, you continue, you continue."
Da Duck spread his hands, "After that, it's the normal growth process, it's about the same as those two, but the time is shortened." ”
Da Duck finally demonstrated it, which amazed the old man. It emphasized that only it could do this, and seeing the other person's thoughtful expression, it asked:
"What do you think about this?"
The old man replied gushingly:
"On the surface, there are still restrictions on how much corn can be grown, but in reality, it's much better than growing fruit trees. If we give the seeds just one drop of superpower, they can ripen smoothly in 10 days, while the same quality of fruit takes several months. If it is diluted and matched, the corn may take longer to mature, but as a result, more plants will be able to germinate each day, which will eventually lead to an increase in yield. ”
"It's an extraordinary project, and if they can grow, we'll have plenty of food and we'll be free from our dependence on the Sea of Origins. In this way, the people will no longer have to worry about famine, and we can slowly tell them the truth and participate in the creation of a new world with them......"
Da Duck was a little impatient when he heard this, and asked directly, "Can you earn elf coins?" ”
The old man was stunned at that time, so that he could not be choked to death by his own saliva......
I'm here to discuss the great cause of saving the world and creating the world, why did it become a question of whether you make money or not? All you hear is the sound of colliding elf coins?
The old man had a lot to say, but he could only hide it in his heart. He couldn't understand what kind of brain circuit that Da Duck was, and why he couldn't keep up with his train of thought. He only knows now that he has lived in vain for more than 60 years, and he was said to be speechless by a duck.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and said helplessly:
"You can earn elf coins, lots and lots of elf coins."
Duck nodded, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
Old man: "......"
Da Duck suddenly remembered something and asked:
"I heard that members of Team Rocket refuse to work? This annoys me. ”
The old man knew that the other party had something to say, but in order to win the other party's trust, he couldn't help but answer.
"Don't worry, they're not loyal to Sakaki, it's just that no one comes out, and when I get back, I'll let them work immediately."
"That's great, but that Glenas isn't convincing, is it?"
The old man had a headache when he heard this, and Granas knew about Sakaki's blind obedience, and he didn't have the confidence to convince her. But at this point, he could only agree to it.
"I'll figure it out."
Hearing this, Da Ya stood up, applauded and laughed:
"Now I'll leave the planting of corn plants to you! In addition, in order to distinguish it from ordinary corn, I gave it a scientific name called 'Kamojin Special'. If you improve this breed, you can call it 'Duck God Special Special', and in the future, you can also have 'Duck God Special Special Special'......"
After Da Duck finished speaking, the old man took the cold roasted corn and left with a blank face.
What really happened today?
