At San Jose Airport, the old man didn't wear that weird-looking Tang costume anymore.

He was dressed like a tourist, and he had just stepped off the plane, carrying a small suitcase with a gold-plated handle carved with a magical creature, obviously with a snake-like body, but with three heads: a lion, a bull, and a human.

He walked out of the airport gate, reached out and flagged down a taxi, "Excuse me, please take me to the Westin Palo Alto." ”

With that, he closed the car door, took out a travel brochure from his pocket, and flipped it through to himself.

"Yes, sir." The driver, a black male, glanced at the old man in the rearview mirror.

"Oh yes, I want to listen to hip hop on the way, and you like hip hop too, don't you?" The old man put the suitcase beside him.

"I'm afraid I can't call the shots, you know, it depends on what's on the radio."

"Tsk, is that how your boss lets you entertain guests? Even such a small request could not be met. The old man said leisurely.

The black driver's face changed, "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't waste any time, trust me, kid, no one in this world has more time than I do, and you won't want to spend it with me." The old man opened a box of chewing gum and poured ten pieces into his mouth in one go.

The black driver was silent for a moment, but finally started the car.

"Good boy, you can put some hip hop on me now."

The black driver pulled an iPod out of his pocket and handed it to the old man behind him with the headphone cable, "Nicki MinaJ, Post Malone and Jay-z in it." ”

"Oh, Nicki MinaJ, my favorite, it's amazing! You have to admit that the development of technology has indeed made life more comfortable. ”

The old man said as he shoved the headphones into his ears.

Half an hour later, the car pulled into Silicon Valley, which is not an administrative division name, but at first referred to the Santa Clara Valley, but has since expanded to include Santa Clara County, parts of San Mateo County in the southwest San Francisco Bay Area, and parts of Alameda County in the East San Francisco Bay Area.

This is the high-tech industry center of the United States, and it can also be said to be the world's high-tech industry center, from which out of a series of internationally renowned high-tech companies such as Apple, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Oracle, etc., is also a paradise for all geeks.

The taxi eventually stopped in front of a start-up company, which is negligible compared to large companies like Intel and Tesla, and its main business is to develop online electronic photo albums, but the entire company has less than 10 people.

The old man carried the box and came to the door of the office of the CTO, who is also the CEO and the boss of the company, and the next moment, the sensor door opened automatically.

"Cool." The old man exclaimed, and then walked in.

The door closed behind him, and the lights in the room were adjusted to the right brightness, and the old man realized that the floor under his feet was a huge display, but it was as soft as a carpet, and there were electronic water streaks waving in all directions when he stepped on it.

When a mechanical dog saw a stranger coming in, it immediately straightened up from its nest and barked wildly, until a piece of circuit board was thrown in front of it, and then it obediently lay back and licked the circuit board beautifully.

The man named Einstein that Zhang Heng saw in the copy was now sitting behind his desk, and there was a model of Apollo 11 on his desk, and the man reached forward and made a gesture of please.

The old man raised an eyebrow and walked over to where he was pointing.

The next moment, the wall in front of him folded up and turned into a couch.

"Impressive." After the old man finished speaking, he sat down, and deliberately used some strength, but his buttocks touched the surface of the sofa of unknown material, which was unusually soft, not hard at all like the previous wall, "When I came to you, I felt that my previous days seemed to be in vain." ”

A man named Albert Einstein was watching a technology conference on video, and he swiped his finger across the screen, muffled the sound, and said with a blank face.

"What wind is blowing you here?"

"Of course you know why, otherwise you wouldn't have sent your men to block me at the airport gate, would you?" The old man spit out the chewing gum that had no taste in his mouth on the ground, and the mechanical dog that was still licking the circuit board immediately pricked up his ears vigilantly, and a pair of e-cigarette eyes swept to the ground to the chewing gum, put down the circuit board and immediately pounced, and cleaned up the chewing gum stuck to the ground in less than five seconds, leaving no trace at all.

After that, it obediently returned to its kennel.

The old man put ten colorful chewing gums into his hand again, "Why do you want to target my people, temporarily modify the number of people who have cleared the dungeon, reduce the number of places, and increase the difficulty of the dungeon, you are violating the rules of the game by doing this, aren't you?" ”

"You're embarrassed to talk about me, do you think I didn't notice the abnormal increase in his skills? Ordinary people can't do that level anyway, it's really your consistent style, you and your little tricks of time, you don't think you can really hide from other people's eyes, right? ”

"Well...... Fortunately, my popularity has always been good, so I have to pray that everyone will turn a blind eye. The old man continued his diabetes program and ate all the gum in his hand with his head up.

Einstein frowned, "What are you and your esoteric disciples planning, I don't believe that you will consume more than eighty percent of your strength in order to open up an agent, this price is too expensive even for you, you are different from those weak fools who are about to go to the ground, although your strength has been weakening all these years, but it is far from that dangerous cordon, isn't it, why did you choose to gamble at this time, with my understanding of you, you have invested so much, and you must have more to get." ”

The old man shrugged his shoulders, "I've told the truth a long time ago, but why don't you always want to believe it, I just want to win this game and take a share of the new market, but rebuild the past glory and get my name back in the public eye again." ”

Albert Einstein snorted, "You don't really think that wearing that nondescript comical dress will make you fit into a completely different civilization." ”

"Why don't you give it a try, after all, KFC has launched old Beijing chicken rolls over there." The old man blinked, "Survival of the fittest, that's a maxim you've always been talking about, isn't it, although I prefer you when Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake, but we can't go back to those good times, can we?" ”

"Be careful, Chronos, don't play with fire and set yourself on fire." Albert Einstein warned.

"I'll try to take that advice to heart, Sainz."
