Chapter 510: Unexpected Profit I (2/2)
Ye Chong nodded.
”All the three Aristocrats owned a shortcut that would lead them to the Five Galaxies, respectively. And these 3 pathways were also an unstable spatial distortion phenomena when they were first discovered. Perhaps you were unaware of this, it's alright, it's a major secret among the Aristocrats, not many residents of He Yue knew it,” smiled Kui.
”I know, I am from the Five Galaxies, after all,” nodded Ye Chong.
Kui nearly tripped himself upon hearing the statement, ”You're a resident of the Five Galaxies? Which?”
”Fal.”
”Oh?” Kui took a careful look at Ye Chong, ”Not bad. You were able to come this far. Though, how do you associate with the Aristocrats?”
”Not much of an association.” Shook Ye Chong, ”I was being hunted.”
The interest intensified on Kui's expression, ”Hunted... huh? Well, you must be really something that the Aristocrats could chase you all the way here. And you survive well too. Which of the Aristocrats?”
”Hah...” Ye Chong smiled bitterly, ”All three...”
Kui was stupefied and he laughed out loud, ”Ahahahahaha! Man, you have such luck. All three families want you dead? Hahaha! Seriously I wonder what you have done that it could drive all 3 families this mad!”
”They were too strong...,” said Ye Chong briefly, ”And I felt threatened of my life.”
”Well...” Shrugged Kui, ”Let's not talk about that. No point of dwelling in the past. You are in luck now, the Aristocrats are too busy to even track you. Still, it almost felt impossible for you to get back home now.”
Ye Chong was speechless. That had always been the pain in his heart.
”And here we are,” reminded Kui. ”This is the room where we store the chips, containing every report, the outcome of our researches. Well, they'll be piling dust anyway so feel free to take any if you like. Every research was a brave and tremendous attempt by the researchers who drained themselves completely for their passion. Some even took their whole life just for a small piece of report. If they knew their life effort eventually became part of the ruins unknown by the people, I guess we won't have a fine reunion when I met them in heaven,” said Kui, a little sentimental.
Ye Chong was astounded.
It was ... a giant library of microchips. A sea of them specifically, in all sorts of colors, labeled by an array of categories, stored chronologically as well as based on the field involved.
Ye Chong could see at least 300,000 microchips there,
”Hehehe...” Shang was there, stunned. yet his beeps formed unintelligible giggles, ”Ye, we'll be rich. We will be rich!”
Ye Chong's breaths intensified. He was sort of a researcher after all and he certainly recognized the value of these data streams. These would be strength, the greatest strength and wealth, that one could use to build a family as competent as the Aristocrats.
”If you want to know the exact number of chips here, sorry, I don't know.” Kui sounded really depressed, ”We started from Space Science, then Mechanical Researches, and then the Biological Science today. We almost have every scientific field covered. We even have a breakthrough in our latest research but well... you know what happened. An annihilation, as if a punishment from the heaven...”
Ye Chong's once excitement had also been assaulted by the raining tails of the crimson beasts, the bloodshed of the researchers.
”You sure are interesting,” smiled Kui as he looked at Ye Chong's expression.
”Why don't you give me some recommendations?” asked Ye Chong. There were too many chips here, he really would appreciate someone giving their opinion on the choices. Well Kui should be fine with this, if he truly intended to give him the chips, that is.
”Uhh...” Kui flinched and hurled a smile promptly, ”Okay, what do you need?”
”Which field do you guys have most researches on?”
”Hmmmmmmmmmmm... At first, we focused on Space Science, as I've said, then Mechanical Science, did you see the mechs out there? Yup, those are our creations.”
”Nah, keep those,” shook Ye Chong. Space Science was too foreign for Ye Chong's comprehension, while Mechanical Science? It was interesting to see those gold fighters flying out there but they were not the best mechs out there, especially when compared to the aces of the Aristocrats.
He was a mechanic after all. He believed he could build a better mech if he had sufficient materials.
So yeah.
