Donald stared at Fu Tianhe's golden prosthetic eye for a few seconds, narrowed his eyes, and then looked away.
Fu Tianhe was bending over to put the suitcase on the table and did not notice it, but all of Donald's actions were seen by Chen Ci without any error.
Chen Ci is indeed very slow in understanding many things, but those are all related to emotions. He cannot accurately understand the ways of the world, but in other aspects, he is very sensitive.
Is Donald curious about Fu Tianhe having an artificial eye? No, as a collector, he has seen all kinds of strange collections and has installed many prosthetics himself. He should not pay much attention to an ordinary prosthetic eye.
It’s just that I have known Fu Tianhe for such a long time, and I didn’t notice anything wrong.
Chen Ci was unable to think further because Fu Tianhe had already begun to introduce their situations, or to be more precise, to make up a story.
"Mr. Donald should also know that abandoned suburbs are close to the coast, and various items are often washed ashore by the waves, including items left over from former human cities.
"This thing was picked up by a local scavenger. Our Ninth Master is the well-known leader of the entire abandoned suburbs. Even the leaders of the most powerful Laer Camp and Mom Camp have to bow and nod respectfully when they see him.
"After picking it up, they immediately presented it to Master Jiu."
This was also the first time that Chen Ci learned about his new identity.
Absurd, but not completely outrageous.
Thinking about it carefully, what Fu Tianhe said was indeed correct. The battalion commander of Matchstick, Laer, also respectfully called him "Ninth Master".
If Chen Ci was willing, he could indeed unify the entire abandoned suburbs with Fu Tianhe by force.
After all, he has the most powerful mental power so far, and Fu Tianhe is no pushover either. It would be hard for anyone to withstand the double attack from both of them, both physically and mentally.
Chen Ci looked indifferent and let Fu Tianhe blow him into pieces.
"Let's show it to Mr. Donald first." Chen Ci's voice was calm, his eyebrows and eyes were distant, and his innate nobility carried the indifference that only belonged to those in a superior position.
"Yes, Master Jiu."
Fu Tianhe opened the suitcase with the look of a dutiful follower.
He did not open it all at once, but displayed it slowly. The butler, whose curiosity was aroused by the introduction earlier, could not help but lean forward, wanting to see more quickly what it was.
The brass box appeared before everyone's eyes, with a rather quaint and delicate pattern and traces of rust on the corners. It did look quite old.
"This was something washed up from the sea. We cleaned it before bringing it here. It has a special magical function."
As Fu Tianhe spoke, he opened the lid of the box, took out a mechanical core from his pocket, put it into one of the four grooves, and then closed the lid.
With a click, the sound of the buckle snapping shut rang in everyone's ears.
Afterwards, Fu Tianhe inserted the rocker into the groove on the side of the box. He first rotated it ten times clockwise, then twelve times counterclockwise, and finally thirty-four times clockwise.
Everyone was confused by his operation.
Finally, after the rotation was completed, Fu Tianhe stood up and said to Donald, "I just put a mechanical core in, but when the box opens automatically in two hours, you will see two mechanical cores appear in the box."
"Simply put, this is a mechanical core replicator."
Once the box is opened, put the two mechanical cores back into the grooves, rotate the joysticks in the correct order, and after another two hours, you will have four mechanical cores.
A total of four mechanical cores can be placed in the box, which means that every two hours, you can get four more mechanical cores. If you operate it regularly every day, it means that you can get an additional 48 mechanical cores.
If this behavior continues for a long time, the benefits it brings will be something that even the richest people cannot ignore.
Chen Ci listened calmly without any fluctuation in expression, but many questions had already slowly emerged in his mind.
Having said that, he already understood that Fu Tianhe was trying to commit fraud.
But would Donald believe it? This is something that does not conform to the law of conservation of matter, and no one with a little education would believe it.
Sure enough, judging from Donald's expression, he didn't seem to believe it.
The housekeeper's curiosity turned into anger, and he probably wanted to kick them out.
Fu Tianhe was not panicked at all, and said calmly: "Next we just need to wait patiently for two hours, and then we can check the results. I know this is a bit absurd, and we didn't believe it at first, but after many experiments, I can't help but sigh that there are indeed all kinds of strange things in the world."
After a while, Donald said slowly, "If it really has this effect, it is indeed a very interesting thing. Please stay here and let me test whether it is credible."
"Okay." Fu Tianhe agreed, looking confident. "In fact, many people have contacted us before and said they want this thing, but we heard that Mr. Donald has chimeras, so we want to see if we can use this as an exchange."
"Oh?" Donald looked at Fu Tianhe with interest: "You want a chimera?"
"You know that places near the coast are always so dangerous. You never know when a primitive creature might land and attack. The mechanical core we just put in was obtained by killing a giant primitive squid that landed at night."
"If we have chimeras in our hands, our rule over the abandoned suburbs will be more stable in the future. If Mr. Donald needs anything, we will be able to provide more."
"Currently, only research institutes and the military can legally use chimeras. It took me a lot of effort to get this thing."
"If I only exchange this box, it may not be enough." Donald paused, staring at Fu Tianhe, with a bigger smile on his face, "Can I ask this gentleman, what's wrong with your eyes?"
The change of topic seemed a bit abrupt.
But Fu Tianhe still replied: "I had retinal blastoma when I was a child. When I was diagnosed with the disease, the cancer cells had already filled the entire fundus. In order to prevent the disease from getting worse, I had to undergo eye removal surgery."
It was also the first time that Chen Ci heard Fu Tianhe talk about eyes.
Human medicine is constantly advancing, but to this day, cancer cannot be eradicated.
"Is that so?" Donald nodded. He raised his hand, pointed at Fu Tianhe's golden artificial eye, and said with a smile, "I'm quite interested in your artificial eye. If you are willing to give it to me, I can consider exchanging it for a chimera."
After these words were spoken, the reception room fell silent for a moment.
He wants Fu Tianhe’s prosthetic eye?
Chen Ci frowned calmly. Donald was used to seeing rare objects, so why would he take the initiative to ask for Fu Tianhe's artificial eye?
The smile on Fu Tianhe's face froze, but he still said politely: "This artificial eye of mine is made entirely by hand by the famous Master Bennett. If Mr. Donald wants to make an artificial eye, I can help you contact Master Bennett--"
"No, I want the one you're wearing now."
Suddenly, the reception room became quiet again, and even the air froze.
After a while, Fu Tianhe said, "Mr. Donald, can you tell me why you want my eye so badly?"
Donald leaned back in his chair leisurely: "I like its color, it's like gold is flowing in the iris."
Fu Tianhe nodded, but the smile on his face was gone.
He thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to say it, it's not impossible. It's just an artificial eye. I can change to another one. I just don't know if you can take out the chimera first so that we can take a look and verify the goods."
Donald waved his hand, and the butler immediately left.
After a few minutes, the butler came over carrying a box.
He placed the briefcase on the table in front of the three and opened it with the code.
This was the first time Fu Tianhe saw a real chimera.
It looks exactly like a mechanical core, but there are mechanical hooks underneath the sphere for fixation.
After getting close to the original organism, they will attach to the original organism's body surface, or grab the inner wall after being swallowed, and then input the program into the original organism, achieving an effect similar to that of a bacteriophage.
The seemingly ordinary sphere actually contains hundreds of years of hard work by scientists.
Although he was the main trader, Chen Ci, who had been watching coldly, finally seemed to perk up. He reached out and picked up one of the coins.
The mental power immediately found out the situation inside the shell.
It is indeed very different from an ordinary mechanical core. Its structure is extremely sophisticated and complex, and it contains some kind of indescribable energy.
Chen Ci confirmed that this was a true chimera.
He looked at Fu Tianhe, and the two looked at each other, with an instant of eye contact.
"Does Mr. Donald really want the artificial eye of my follower?"
"Not bad." Donald laughed. "I've already taken out such a precious thing. Since you two want it, I should show some sincerity, right?"
Chen Ci nodded.
Just when Donald, the butler, and the bodyguards hiding in the dark in the reception room thought that he was about to order Fu Tianhe to remove his artificial eye, Chen Ci stood up and closed the box on the table with a snap.
What is he going to do? !
The butler was startled and wanted to stop it, but was shocked to find that he could not move at all, as if his body was completely out of the control of his brain.
Chen Ci picked up the suitcase and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the side in front of everyone, with an elegant and upright posture.
The next second, Chen Ci raised his arm and slammed the suitcase against the window!
Blah--
The glass shattered under the violent impact.
The loud and clear sound pierced his nerves, allowing the body controlled by the mysterious power to gain a moment of autonomy. Donald's pupils suddenly shrank. He pointed at Chen Ci by the window and shouted, "Catch him——"
Before Donald could utter the last word "we", Fu Tianhe overturned the table and covered Donald's face with it.
He was the only person in the room who was out of control.
The numerous bodyguards lying in ambush in the dark received the order and were about to capture Chen Ci, but the power controlling them suddenly increased, making their bodies like petrified sculptures, unable to move, and even their thinking became extremely slow.
They could only watch as Chen Ci swung the box again, and with a few loud bangs, he smashed all the remaining glass fragments on the edge of the window frame.
Chen Ci made sure that the edge of the glass would not cut himself before stepping into the courtyard.
Fu Tianhe followed Chen Ci, not forgetting to take the mechanical core replicator that he had spent a whole day making.
This courtyard is both a museum of curiosities and an administrative office.
As soon as Fu Tianhe caught up, he was stopped by Chen Ci's outstretched arm.
"Be careful, follow me closely, and don't touch other things."
The powerful mental force spread in all directions, carefully exploring all the details.
Tripping wires, laying mines, traps... all kinds of clever ideas, and quite vicious.
If Chen Ci hadn't had such strong mental strength, anyone else who broke in would have been in trouble.
Chen Ci was investigating when he suddenly felt another powerful spiritual force attacking from behind!
With a thought, an invisible barrier gathered and blocked it firmly. The impact force was directed to the opponent, making this attack a self-inflicted injury for the attacker.
Soon, several more mental powers appeared within the perception, breaking free from Chen Ci's suppression and rushing in madly!
Even if Chen Ci devoted more energy to exploring the environment, it was quite impressive that they were able to break free from Omega's mental control.
Given Donald's wealth, it's not surprising that there are powerful Alphas around him.
Seven or eight bodyguards rushed out of the French window, trying to capture Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe. Fu Tianhe certainly couldn't just sit there and wait to be killed. He casually grabbed a hose used for watering, pointed the metal nozzle at the people running towards him, and turned the knob.
Water gushed out at once, and under high pressure it hit the bodyguard directly in the face!
The leading bodyguard was hit directly. The power of the high-pressure water gun was not to be underestimated. He was knocked to the ground by the fierce attack and staggered onto the trip wire.
There was a crisp creaking sound, and a wooden stake fell from the dense shade of the trees, carrying a huge potential energy, hitting the other person's back and knocking him down.
In the blink of an eye, the two bodyguards lost their ability to move.
Fu Tianhe quickly turned around and caught up with Chen Ci. He was blind in his right eye, and the defect of limited vision was infinitely magnified in the battle.
At the moment the gun fired, Fu Tianhe heard the sound with his right ear, but saw nothing.
There was no blood splattering.
The bullet aimed at his shoulder stopped in the air less than five meters away from Fu Tianhe.
This is a miracle that could never happen.
It seemed that what stopped at this moment was not the bullet that was traveling at a speed of 400 meters per second, but time.
However, in the fierce escape and capture, no one noticed this at all, and even the person who fired the shot thought he had missed.
The bullet fell silently to the ground and sank into the mud.
On the other hand, as Chen Ci went deeper into the courtyard, his suppression of the others in the reception room naturally eased.
In fact, mental power is not as strong as imagined. Most people with mental power can only do weak environmental detection at best. It is only because Chen Ci is so strong, so strong that he can even control people's thoughts and move objects with his mind, that he seems so outrageous.
Donald finally lifted the table covering him, and the Collector fell into unprecedented rage. He was also an Alpha, so how could he not know that it was mental power that controlled everyone just now.
Those two damned robbers actually dared to run wild in his territory!!!
Donald raised his hand and pressed hard on a certain spot on his mechanical neck.
Something was opened in the courtyard.
Soon Fu Tianhe knew what it was because he heard the violent barking of dogs approaching them rapidly.
Oh no, Fu Tianhe cried out secretly, we have to leave quickly!
He quickened his pace, trying his best to keep up with the speech in front of him.
The courtyard is very large, and is filled with all kinds of strange hidden traps, so it is not easy to walk around.
More and more people were rushing to surround the mansion. No matter how strong Chen Ci was, he couldn't control so many people by himself.
In the Mom camp, he did manage to suppress dozens of scavengers, but those people were all betas and had no mental strength.
But in Donald's mansion, there are many extremely powerful Alphas, and some of them have mental power levels that can even be considered top-notch.
If Chen Ci's ability was not so strong, the ones who would be suppressed by the mental force would be him and Fu Tianhe.
Under heavy pressure, Chen Ci could only shrink the range of his mental power as much as possible to ensure that the area within a dozen meters around him was safe.
He stepped through the dense bushes, and the door leading to the outside was already locked tightly.
It's like catching a turtle in a jar.
Chen Ci went straight to the corridor, picked up the suitcase containing the chimera, and smashed the window glass for the second time.
Amidst loud shattering noises and flying glass fragments, Chen Ci stepped into the corridor and ran towards the front door of the mansion.
Fu Tianhe followed closely behind the young man. The angry roar of the dog was so close that he could even smell an indescribable stench coming from the dog's mouth behind him. It was even stinkier than that of Da Congming, who had never had a bath since birth.
It smells of blood and killing.
The brass box in his arms was already interfering with his escape.
Fu Tianhe opened the lid of the box neatly and quickly. He put his fingers inside the box and skillfully untied the compartments inside, and more than a dozen mechanical cores rolled out.
Fu Tianhe grabbed the two mechanical cores into his pockets, threw the box away, and was finally able to concentrate on escaping.
Yes, this "mechanical core generator" used to trade with Donald was a scam from the beginning to the end.
As early as the 20th century, a fraudster named Victor Lustig made something similar, but Fu Tianhe used a "mechanical core generator" to copy the mechanical core, and he used a "gold storage box" to copy US dollars. The principle is the same.
Victor Lustig was born in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia in 1890 and once sold the Eiffel Tower in France.
Now, after a thousand years, his creativity was briefly borrowed by Fu Tianhe.
Fu Tianhe jumped into the corridor from the window broken by Chen Ci, smashed the glass display cabinet with one punch, picked up the two-meter-long baguette, turned around -
He finally saw what the dog chasing him looked like.
It was a two-headed dog, or to be more precise, an artificially created two-headed dog.
The puppy's head grew on the big dog's neck, apparently a forced transplant.
The two dogs seemed to have different ideas in their heads, but the big dog was dominant.
It opened its mouth wide and roared as it pounced towards Fu Tianhe fiercely!
Fu Tianhe stretched out his hand and accurately poked the baguette into its mouth. The dog's momentum was instantly blocked and it was almost pierced through the throat.
Fu Tianhe used his left hand as a fulcrum and put his whole body weight on his right hand, pressing down hard. The dog weighing over a hundred pounds was lifted up by the principle of leverage!
The two-headed dog fell heavily to the ground. The puppy's head fell to the ground and was crushed by the big dog's neck. It made a sharp wail. Its body, controlled by two heads, fell into chaos and it was unable to get up for a long time.
Fu Tianhe had already taken advantage of this opportunity and ran away with the baguette.
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe ran out of the mansion one after another, and found, not surprisingly, that there was no sign of a car.
Chen Ci chose to run straight towards the prosperous area of the ecological tank, with an endless stream of pursuers behind him.
On the way, they each picked up a shared bicycle and rode it to narrow and remote areas, leaving the private cars belonging to Donald's bodyguards on the street.
The two turned into a narrow alley about 1.5 meters wide, parked their bicycles against the wall, and ended their ride.
Fu Tianhe rubbed his hands vigorously on his coat to wipe away the sweat on his palms. He took two steps back, took a short run-up and then took a leap.
Grabbed the railing three meters above.
He flipped over the platform, then lay on it and reached out his hand to take the box first, then pulled Chen Ci up.
The two of them clasped their hands tightly, so tightly that the veins on their arms could be seen.
This was previously an animal and plant breeding base, but now it has been temporarily abandoned because a new site has been chosen and will be demolished soon.
Fu Tianhe stood up, opened the second-floor window, and climbed in with Chen Ci.
There are still some equipment inside that have not been moved away in time.
They quietly slipped out of the back door of the training base and did not attract anyone's attention under the cover of Chen Ci's mental power.
No matter how well-known he was, Donald was just a famous local tycoon and he didn't dare to make a big fuss to look for the person. Moreover, if the collector's house was robbed by just two people, he would lose all face if the matter got out.
Soon Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe appeared on the outer wall of the ecological tank. They would take a cable car from the cinnabar outer wall to the farm on the other side.
Finally able to take a short break, in a corner where no one was paying attention, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe stopped, Fu Tianhe sat down on the ground, and seeing this, Chen Ci sat down too.
They panted heavily and tried to calm their breathing.
Next to him was the suitcase containing many chimeras.
Chen Ci didn't expect Fu Tianhe to use a scam to hook Donald.
Fu Tianhe had never expected that Chen Ci would actually try to rob and walk out of the front door in broad daylight. He was so arrogant.
One of them was a fraud, and the other was even more ruthless and just robbed people.
The two looked at each other, and Fu Tianhe couldn't help laughing. The smile gradually grew bigger and finally turned into a happy laugh, ringing heartily in his ears.
There seemed to be something solid in Chen Ci's amber eyes, which was slowly melting.
"It's exciting, even more exciting than in the abandoned suburbs."
Fu Tianhe sighed, but then he thought of something even more serious, and the smile froze on his face.
In the midst of the thrill, he and Chen Ci were both more or less in a mess. They were wearing suits rented from the store, which were now soiled and they had to pay compensation.
They also rented a luxury car, which is now parked in Donald's garage.
How much will they have to pay if the car is lost?
...Can you afford to sell him now?
"Well...are we going to get the car back later?"
As Fu Tianhe spoke, he felt that his proposal was too fantastic. He stole things from Donald and wanted to go back to his house and drive the car away. It was simply taking advantage of him.
Chen Ci shook his head: "We will just leave and pay the rental company compensation."
Fu Tianhe was shocked. "That's a Pagani! It must cost tens of millions of Auggies!"
"Don't worry about this, leave it to me."
Chen Ci slowly raised his hand and opened the terminal. The top message in the message list was a chat box with Chen Nian.
[I accidentally lost a Pagani. Tell Shafley and ask him to prepare compensation, or use some other method.]
