Chapter 54 Sometimes giving up is also a kind of victory

"Is this serious?" Hei Er was still a little skeptical.

"Whether it's true or not, you can just go out and ask anyone and you'll know." Xiao Yongyan said.

Hei Er nodded thoughtfully and waved to the younger brother standing next to him, and that man ran out immediately.

"Don't be anxious, everyone here is a guest. You can just rest here, eat and have fun." Hei Er said with a smile.

However, Lin Xi knew that Hei Er was a heartless and ungrateful person. He was on friendly terms with Ge Xuecai just one second ago, but now he was speaking to her in a nice tone.

People who change their minds as easily as turning the pages of a book are the least trustworthy.

After waiting for a while, the younger brother who had just gone out came back and whispered something to Hei Er. Hei Er's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

I nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi watched Hei Er's every move, but smiled and said nothing.

“You two,” Hei Er instantly became more enthusiastic, and his attitude towards Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan could even be described as attentive, “If there’s anything you want to eat or play, just tell my men to get it for you!”

"There's nothing else to say," Lin Xi said, "We just want a quieter place to live."

Hei Er immediately made the decision, "It's not difficult. Wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away."

Nightfall.

Hei Er did as Lin Xi instructed and found them a very quiet place to live.

Although it was late at night, neither of them felt sleepy.

"Xiao Yongyan," Lin Xi finally found an opportunity to ask, "Is there really such a provision in the law?"

"Of course there are. If I lie, I'll be exposed in a blink of an eye. But you, do you really have so many magical things in your hands?" Xiao Yongyan couldn't help but ask. When he heard Lin Xi talk about those things in the afternoon, he just felt that it was like a fairy tale.

But he couldn't ask in front of Hei Er.

"You mean those things?" Lin Xi paused deliberately. Of course there were such things, but they were not available in this era. She couldn't tell Xiao Yongyan the truth. "To tell you the truth, I can't make them at all."

To a certain extent, Lin Xi avoided Xiao Yongyan's questions and instead gave more vague answers.

Xiao Yongyan breathed a sigh of relief. God knows if Lin Xi told him that these things were true, he might really not know how to solve this problem.

"What do you want to do next?" Xiao Yongyan asked.

"Substituting one thing for another." Lin Xi smiled slyly.

On the second day, Lin Xi found Hei Er and told him that he wanted to make a more sophisticated device, but he needed him to prepare some materials. At the same time, the production process would not be made public, so he needed to send someone to take charge.

In order to make the play more realistic, Lin Xi even suggested that Xiao Yongyan could not watch her production process.

With such a request, Hei Er just thought that Lin Xi really had the ability.

He had also heard that in some pharmacies, when preparing medicinal materials, the owner would do it secretly in a small dark room, not allowing outsiders to watch.

At this moment, Lin Xi also has his own special skills, so it is very reasonable for him to make such a request.

Hei Er is now eager to make a contribution, and agrees to all of Lin Xi's conditions without hesitation.

Successfully avoiding everyone's sight, Lin Xi referred to the instruction manual of the rice mill in the system and, relying on his not-so-excellent craftsmanship, toiled for a whole day and finally made something that looked similar in appearance.

As for actual functionality, of course there isn't any.

After finishing, Lin Xi put the imitation rice mill into the system backpack and walked out swaggeringly. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct, "The things inside are very important. No one can be allowed in."

The two gatekeepers had already received Hei Er's request to guard the gate tightly and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Now that Lin Xi made a similar request, they naturally agreed.

Lin Xi came all the way to Hei Er's residence. At this time, Hei Er was busy. Lin Xi said, "Second Master, I have something to discuss with you."

"The lady from the Xiao family is here, please take a seat and tell me what you want to say." Hei Er treated Lin Xi with great enthusiasm at this time.

"I have something I want to discuss with Second Master." Lin Xi said gently.

Hei Er responded to everything Lin Xi said at this time, and nodded immediately, "I wonder what Madam Xiao wants to say."

"It's like this. To be honest, these things I made for you are unique in the world, and no one else can imitate them." Lin Xi said.

Hei Er was fully aware of the value of these things and immediately nodded in agreement.

"But my master once told me that I can use everything I make for myself, but I can never use it to pursue fame or fortune." At this moment, Lin Xi's face showed an embarrassment. "So, I have an unreasonable request for you, and I hope you can forgive me."

Hei Er vaguely felt that this was his chance, and he pricked up his ears and stood still, "Madam Xiao, please speak."

"All the equipment was conceived and made by the Second Master alone. Everyone on your side has witnessed it. As for me, I am just the Second Master's guest, nothing more." Lin Xi said.

Hei Er never thought that Lin Xi came to him to voluntarily give up the ownership of these instruments.

"What if these things make a lot of money in the future?" Although Hei Er was excited, he was still a little suspicious of Lin Xi. With such huge benefits, she would just give up?

"That's all Second Master's ability, and has nothing to do with me." Lin Xihua changed her tone, "In fact, when my master taught me these things, he only told me to use them for myself, but I always felt that such good things should not be enjoyed by one person alone. It's just that I swore a solemn oath to my dying master that if I disobeyed, I would be childless for the rest of my life."

People of this era attach great importance to reproduction. As soon as Lin Xi said this, Hei Er immediately understood Lin Xi's concerns.

If a woman like her cannot have children because of money, she might as well die.

"If that's true, don't you regret it?" Hei Er confirmed again.

"I will never regret it!" Lin Xi's eyes were firm and he did not hesitate.

"Okay." Hei Er smiled. He really didn't expect such a good thing to happen. "But to be on the safe side, we'd better sign a document to prove that you really give up the ownership of this thing and all future profits."

Lin Xi pursed her lips and nodded.

Hei Er moved quickly and finished the document in the blink of an eye. The two of them each pressed their fingerprints on the document, making two copies to make it officially effective.

The document in his hand was only a thin sheet, and Lin Xi carefully put it into his pocket, and then said, "There is one more thing I want to remind you, Second Master. You can think of it as my worrying too much. Don't be too ambitious. Any of these instruments is shocking. If you take out too many at once, how can I say it, too much wisdom is close to being a demon."

After listening to this, Hei Er nodded thoughtfully, "You are right. I think I should send the rice mill up first. There will be time for other things later."
