Old Luo understood this question.
"Well, although I haven't cracked the key yet, I can tell you with certainty that how you return after you complete your mission will be entirely up to you, with your consent. You can rest assured about that," Old Luo replied.
After hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo looked at Old Man Luo with a half-smile, her face saying, "Guess whether I believe you or not?"
Her expression made Old Man Luo quickly realize what she meant.
He flattered her, saying, "The situation is different when you come here versus when you go back. Although the process of bringing you here that day was not very honorable, Xiao Duo, please understand. If I explained this to you properly, would you believe me?"
Moreover, it's uncertain what we'll be doing here or what will happen. If I told you, would you agree to come?
Furthermore, we need to keep this matter strictly confidential and cannot disclose it to anyone. If we tell you and you don't agree, what are we going to do with you? We won't feel comfortable letting you go, right?
"What's right or wrong? It's all your fault. You've deprived me of my personal rights and freedom. What you've done to me is no different from kidnapping."
"Now you're talking about going back, as if you're very respectful and democratic," Hong Xiaoduo said bluntly.
Although my relationship with Old Man Luo is still pretty good now, it doesn't mean I've forgiven him.
Old Luo was already in the wrong, so naturally he wouldn't refute anything.
“Girl, we were wrong in this matter, but don’t worry about going back. You can decide when to leave.”
We owe you a huge favor. When you go back home, I will do everything in my power to help you, whether it's with your family or your career, without hesitation.
"If you want to work in a public institution, I'll arrange it for you. If you want to go into business or help companies, you don't have to worry about funding or connections. I'll take care of everything. How about that?" Old Luo patted his chest and assured him.
Hong Xiaoduo pouted: "I don't want to do anything."
"The simplest thing is not wanting to do anything. I've prepared 100 million for you, which is more than enough for you."
"Where do you want to go? I'll prepare a private jet and a yacht for you," Old Luo said again.
"What? Give me a hundred million? Let me tell you, you yourself said that the task progress bar shows that my task is basically completed. You don't need to make empty promises to fool me."
You're a researcher, and you're not young anymore, so go find some mindless short dramas to watch.
"Give me back 100 million, but don't tell me it's in small change." Hong Xiaoduo sneered.
Tens of thousands of yuan are nothing to her; she has never owned any before, but she has fantasized about buying a lottery ticket, getting rich overnight, and becoming a millionaire.
But a hundred million was something she never even considered; it was something unattainable.
"Hey, Xiaoduo, don't disbelieve me, I really do have a hundred million."
Including myself, three generations of my family have been involved in scientific research. Any new research result or patent we produce can fetch a considerable price.
If it weren't for the fact that three generations of us are patriotic, and several of our scientific research achievements were donated to the country free of charge, we would have given them a billion dollars without hesitation.
Hearing him say that, Hong Xiaoduo knew that he wasn't just making empty promises.
"I don't need such an exaggerated compensation. I'm not short of money. A few hundred thousand would be enough."
"Leave the rest to your own descendants," Hong Xiaoduo said.
She didn't greedily ask for 100 million, nor did she arrogantly say she wouldn't accept a single penny.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Besides, I didn't give you all my savings; I left some for them as well." Old Luo wasn't surprised at all that Hong Xiaoduo refused the 100 million yuan.
After spending time with her, I realized that she's a really nice person.
She is beautiful, kind-hearted, has a great personality, is warm-hearted, and loyal!
"By the way, you said last time that before returning after completing the mission, I would have one more chance to go back temporarily. How exactly does that work?"
"Should I take this body back with me? Or just my soul? My consciousness?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, remembering the question.
She didn't know what words to use to describe it, but she knew that Old Man Luo would understand what she was trying to say.
Old Luo did not immediately answer this question.
Seeing that he was pondering something over the weekend, Hong Xiaoduo shook her head helplessly.
Shouldn't researchers be meticulous in their work?
But look at Old Luo's family, what kind of mess is this?
"You don't know either, right? Then you just need to tell me what to do and what to be careful about when you get back," Hong Xiaoduo said patiently.
She didn't know why, even though it wouldn't be long before she could truly return to the modern world, she suddenly wanted to use up that one short chance to go back first.
"Then let me go back and take a good look, and then I'll give you an answer. When do you want to go back?" Old Man Luo asked.
"Not necessarily, maybe tonight, or in the next few days," Hong Xiaoduo said, unsure herself.
If you don't act on a thought immediately, you might change your mind later.
Old Luo agreed to go back and check before replying. Hong Xiaoduo took two large buckets of popcorn from the snack cabinet before leaving the space.
Ever since he learned that she would often bring snacks to the children from her spatial storage, Old Man Luo instructed his students to keep an eye out and prepare more snacks that the children liked.
"Ah, it feels so good to sleep for a while. Here, have some popcorn." Hong Xiaoduo opened her eyes, and large buckets of popcorn appeared in both of her hands at the same time.
Hearing her voice, the children all looked over and happily accepted the popcorn.
The children are no longer surprised by anything she pulls out of thin air; they've become accustomed to it.
Yao Guang tapped the front panel of the carriage. Tian Shu, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, turned around, pushed a panel aside, grabbed a handful of popcorn, held it in his arms, and then pushed the panel back to its original position to eat.
"Master, popcorn, do you want some?" Yao Guang, holding a bucket of popcorn, turned around, lifted the carriage curtain, and handed it out to the person on horseback.
“Children eat this, Master won’t eat it, so asking is pointless,” Tianquan said.
Before he could finish speaking, a hand reached out and grabbed a handful.
Yao Guang then sat back down and looked at Tian Quan triumphantly, saying, "Fourth Brother, don't you even know who asked about Master?"
If you ask, Master naturally won't eat it.
Tianquan never expected that his master would eat popcorn. In the past few times, he had only grabbed a few kernels to taste the first time his mother gave it to him. After that, whenever asked, he refused, saying it was just a snack for children.
"Yes, yes, Master likes you the most," Tianquan said, feigning jealousy.
Quan Jinghuai, riding on horseback, ate popcorn and listened to the conversation between his disciples inside the carriage, and smiled.
Whether he likes it or not, he has to eat some, because he may never have the chance to eat it again.
When Hong Xiaoduo woke up, she was still leaning against the pile of blankets, watching the children eat. She was thinking about when Old Man Luo would give her an answer, why she had to go back, and what she planned to do there…
