"I think you're fascinated by him, and he's so mean to his friends. Since you are so ruthless, then you are welcome, the request is very simple, I will study him alone...... Don't stare yet, not here, but in my own lab. If you don't feel at ease, go with him, and watch him carefully and don't let me snatch it. Anyway, your lab was also lost by the bet, so I'll be more generous and allow you to use my lab, how about it, enough friends, right? ”

Seeing that Sanger is really not as crazy and stupid as he looks, his ability to calculate people is so strong. That's right, people are the descendants of the supremacy of interests, and it is impossible for them not to learn any family heirloom skills after so many years.

"What if I don't!" Claire is still hard-working.

"Then don't blame me for talking too much, you won't kill me for him!" Sanger also did not retreat at all, and also released cruel words.

“…… I don't have a friend like you, wake him up! After a few seconds, Claire made her final choice.

"Oops, it hurts me...... Even if you can take him on the ship, will you have to fight against the Council of Scholars and the Council of Elders? Obviously, this choice is more straightforward, and Sanger has already begun to cry out in pain.

"They are not the Ministry of Integration, nor are they the national government, so it's a big deal for me to quit." What a female man, Claire didn't intend to back down at all, and her words were even more ruthless.

“…… Is it worth giving up so many years of your research and honor just for the sake of a Vault Dweller, and then starting from scratch? In the face of such a resolute Claire, Sanger didn't seem to have a plan, and paused for a while before changing to persuasion.

"It's not a question of worthiness, it's a matter of my commitment to him. Mr. Aite is my partner, and no one can do any in-depth research on his brain without his own consent. It was my mistake to allow you to check this time, and I'm going to make up for it! It seems that Claire is determined to reject Sanger's proposal, so she does not hesitate to withdraw from the Council and accept great losses.

"Well, I'll take a step back and ask Mr. Aite before every study, but you can't interfere with his decision." Seeing that the talks between the two sides were about to collapse, Sanger adjusted his negotiation strategy in time and began to bargain.

"It's not a sale, we don't have to talk about it. Wake him up, we're leaving. I never believed what Daley said, but there is one thing he said right, you can't be friends with profit-oriented factions, because as long as the price is right, you will be betrayed anytime and anywhere! It seems that Claire is really angry, she doesn't want to talk about it, and she doesn't even plan to do it anymore with her friends.

"Since you can't change the fact that you are sold, it is better to get a good price. Miss Sanger, if you can hand over control of the lab to Miss Claire and promise not to share the results of the research with anyone without her consent, I will voluntarily cooperate with you in conducting a limited study of my brain, in principle, not to cause any harm to the brain, and not to any hidden dangers. ”

Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down, Hong Tao didn't dare to pretend to sleep anymore. Don't look at Claire is very smart and has strong personal ability, but she doesn't seem to know much about the art of compromise. No matter how strong a person is, he can't go against the whole system, unless he has the capital to fight, it is useless to rely on righteousness alone, and it is often this kind of relatively righteous person who suffers in the end.

Although this is the experience of the Earth Age, Hong Tao feels that it seems to be quite appropriate to use it in the New Eden world. On the other hand, the technology of the New Edenians is many times more advanced than the Earth Age, but it is still in the same vein as the Earthlings on the human and spiritual levels.

Claire's loss is equal to her own loss, and it seems that she is the only one who really treats herself as a partner, and once she falls into the hands of others, she is a savage animal, a fresh toy of unknown origin, an object that can be studied and used, but not a person.

As for whether handing himself over to Sanger for research will reveal his identity, Hong Tao thinks that there is a possibility, but it is not large, and it can be ignored in a short time. The current situation is likely to be exposed immediately, and Claire and scholars will be implicated, which is the main contradiction that needs to be solved urgently.

There is also the problem of Sanger, Claire does not like to get along with people who put interests first, but Hong Tao is more accustomed to this kind of person and is better at taking advantage of it. I give you what you need, you give me what I need, and it's good to get what you want for mutual benefit.

If it is done properly, this kind of person will not only not become a fetter, but may also become a helper, which is not too much of a loss. Again, the lesser of two evils is better, and one more collaborator is better than one more enemy.

“…… You already knew he was awake, and he said it to him on purpose! Claire was only stunned for a moment by Hong Tao's sudden interjection, and immediately gained insight into Sanger's conspiracy.

"Hee-hee-hee...... Your barbarian is so clever that he almost fooled the mastermind too. Fortunately, I am so familiar with this kind of examination that I know when to wake up even without a brain cue. It seems that I made the right choice, Mr. Aite is much smarter than you, and knows when to back down and when to be tough. Claire, it's time for you to change your temper, this world is not something anyone can fight against. Sanger didn't deny his little tricks, hugged Claire's arm with a kind smile, and began to play girlfriends again.

Hong Tao now knows why these two women with very different personalities can always remain friends, Claire is completely passive, and the real dominant party is Sanger. She's too good at pretending, and she's too familiar with Claire's temper.

“…… Whatever you want, I don't care! It's a pity that Claire didn't appreciate it, but she had a feeling of being betrayed, she shook her arm and got rid of Sanger, glared at Hong Tao fiercely, and strode out.

"Hey, Claire, don't go, we haven't finished today's training yet......" Seeing this, Hong Tao took off his helmet and chased after him in three steps and two steps.

At this time, it must be sticky, entangled in minutes, and do not give her the opportunity to think crankily, until she has done the ideological work, otherwise it is easy to misunderstand and cause endless troubles.

"A pair of weirdos...... "Looking at Claire and Hong Tao's distant backs, Sanger pursed his lips in a serious contempt, mixed with a little jealousy.

Daley is indeed right, there are really few friends like her, so I can't understand Claire and Hong Tao's mutual protection, but there is some longing in my heart.

It's just a glimmer of longing and jealousy, fleeting, and there's still a lot of work to be done, and there's no time to feel sorry for yourself. Now that he has reached a cooperation agreement with Hong Tao, he has to transfer all the required materials and equipment to his own space laboratory.

In addition, Sanger also plans to steal the information related to the hibernator from the main database of the Presbyterian Church, yes, it is stolen, these materials are top secret, and it is impossible to even retrieve them without the permission of the higher-ups, let alone copy them. But Sanger has a way, her mother is an elder of the Scholars Society, and she has a very high authority, and she has a way to trick these permissions into using them first.

It doesn't matter if she is found afterwards or not, she has done this kind of thing more than once, and she has been found out more than once, at most, she went home and was scolded by her mother, there is nothing to worry about.
