299.

"Uh......"

Xiao Shutong covered his mouth at once, because he realized that he had missed his mouth.

In the previous arithmetic stele, after learning that Cheng Li was a plane traverser, the little arithmetic boy tried his best to help Cheng Li pass the 3000-layer exam and become the new owner of the arithmetic stele out of curiosity about other planes.

However, at that time, Cheng Li was only a trialist and had not yet become the owner of the arithmetic monument.

According to the internal rules of the Arithmetic Monument, if the little arithmetic boy wanted to turn on the Light of Perception and Time Flow Speed functions in advance, he had to consume the arithmetic energy he had.

In the arithmetic tablet, the arithmetic energy possessed by the arithmetic tablet is calculated separately from the arithmetic energy owned by the little arithmetic boy himself.

As the instrument spirit of the arithmetic tablet, the little arithmetic child has the authority to manage the arithmetic tablet, but he is also bound by many rules.

Therefore, at that time, the little arithmetic boy consumed his own arithmetic energy in advance to help Cheng Li, and because the arithmetic monument was in an ownerless state at that time, the consumption of arithmetic energy was multiplied, which made the little arithmetic boy consume a lot of his arithmetic energy, which made him feel distressed.

Under such a psychological imbalance, Xiao Shutong thought of a way to punish Cheng Li, so as to show that he was not so sparing no effort to help him.

Therefore, Xiao Shutong lied to Cheng Li that he needed to consume half of his life to turn on the time flow rate, but in fact, at that time, Xiao Shutong had already consumed his own calculation energy to turn on the time flow rate in advance, and Cheng Li did not consume his energy at all.

"So...... In other words, I didn't cost half of my life?" Cheng Li said expressionlessly.

Xiao Shutong looked like a child who had done something wrong, and his eyes dodged: "Well...... Sort of. ”

Then he explained in a panic: "But in fact, this is also a test for you! If you don't agree to give your life at that time, it means that you are not qualified to be my master, in short, this is a test!"

Hearing Xiao Shutong say this, Cheng Li's face was gloomy, as if he would explode at any time and suddenly become an adult.

However, suddenly, Cheng Li's calm face, like a spring breeze, burst out laughing.

"Haha, great, my lifespan is still there, and I haven't been deducted half!"

Seeing Cheng Li laughing like this, Xiao Shutong was a little confused.

"That...... You're not angry?"

"Don't be angry, why should I be angry. ”

"Because I lied to you. ”

"Didn't you also say it, this is a test, after all, you have to choose a master, so you naturally need to set up a test according to your own ideas. But you're so funny, you actually want to test me in such a boring way. ”

"This ...... It's not boring!"

"Okay, okay, anyway, I'm really not angry at all, I feel like I've picked up half of my life out of thin air now, it's too late to be happy, and you also said it, you have overdrawn yourself in advance and consumed 20,000 points to turn on the light of perception and the flow of time! ”

"I don't want your thanks!" said the little arithmetic boy with a little arrogance, "I'...... I'm just curious about another plane, the world is so big, I want to see it, not to help you!"

"Haha, okay, I know, then I will go back to the earth, I will definitely take you with me, so that you can see the scenery and civilization of the earth. ”

"That's good. ”

The two chatted casually, and Cheng Li saw that the atmosphere was more harmonious, so he hurriedly returned to the topic.

"Ahem, but to get back to the point, since you want to go to Earth with me, and you also want more calculators, you need to help me even more. ”

Seeing that Xiao Shutong looked a little painful, Cheng Li hurriedly continued to persuade.

"You see that you were willing to do 20,000 points before, and now you only need to give me 1,000 points......" Seeing that the little arithmetic boy looked like he was about to jump up, Cheng Li quickly changed his words, "Oh no, it's 500 points! No! 300 points! As long as you give me 300 points of arithmetic energy, let me use 3 times to speed up, then I have 60 hours to design the next generation of calculators, and I must have time to get the design drawings of the next generation of calculators and supporting production facilities!"

After hearing 300 points, Xiao Shutong said with a slightly pale face: "This is different, at that time you were counting the stele, but I had 100,000 points of arithmetic energy, which is my private money from this math tablet in the past thousand years." 100,000 points is enough, and 20,000 points were consumed at that time, although it was a bit painful, but it didn't break my family. ”

"What about the remaining 80,000 points?" Cheng Li asked

"Uh...... After coming out at that time, I was too excited, and when I fought with that person, I lost my strength all of a sudden, and used up the energy of the Arithmetic Tablet, and then the energy of the Arithmetic Tablet was gone, so I had to consume mine, and that move couldn't stop halfway, and finally I almost exhausted the remaining 80,000 points. Xiao Shutong said embarrassedly.

"......" Cheng Li said speechlessly, "In other words, you were too excited at the time, so you could get rid of the 80,000 points you had left?"

"Sort of......

"Damn, you loser!"

Cheng Li angrily rushed up and scuffled with Xiao Shutong.

"80,000 points is enough! It can make me speed up 800 times! If you don't waste it, then I can't do a lot of things to my heart's content!"

Xiao Shutong did not show weakness, rubbing his little fist and kept fighting back.

"Then I can't help it, after all, I haven't fought for a thousand years, so I'm relatively rusty. And that person is also very powerful, if I don't have to use all my strength, maybe you will hang up, and you won't be able to keep so many people on Qingling Island! What do you say I should do. ”

Finally, the two of them stared at each other with panting eyes.

"Well, how much do you have left. ”

"400 points ......," the little arithmetic boy pouted.

"Okay...... No wonder you're so reluctant, it's already going to bankrupt you. ”

"Yes, you said you can bear it, there are 400 left. ”

"Cut, it's not your own waste, let me tell you this, you give me 300 now, this is called investment, do you understand investment?

"Also, your 20,000 points of energy are also an early investment in me, and they can be counted on my head, and I will write them down, and I won't lose you. ”

"Qi, there is no basis for what you say, who knows. ”

"I still don't believe it, let's set up a joint-stock company, you use the 20,000 and 300 as capital to invest in shares, I use technology to invest in shares, and we each have 50% of the shares. It's called Tiandao Calculator Co., Ltd., right?"

"Uh...... Joint-stock company?

"Of course it's useful, you are the instrument spirit of the Arithmetic Tablet, and I am the owner of the Arithmetic Tablet, so this Arithmetic Tablet naturally belongs to the fixed assets of Tiandao Calculator Co., Ltd. ”

"Then in the future, I will make a lot of calculators to charge the arithmetic tablet, and the computing power consumed is equivalent to the investment consumption, and the computing energy is considered to be the output.

"There are inputs, there are outputs, and there are naturally dividends. ”

"So, when the time comes, you can get a part of the dividends from the arithmetic energy produced by the arithmetic tablet. ”

"That way you don't have to sneak around and save money for your own money!"
