I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 398: Thousands of Variations But Never Departing from the Essence
Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Thousands of Variations But Never Departing from the Essence
The little grown-up He Xuerong just felt somewhat helpless.
The little girl even said, "With her being such an irresponsible mother, what kind of face does she have to call you, my little aunt, an irresponsible aunt?"
Qiao Qingyu took He Xuerong’s hand and walked forward, speaking softly, "It’s normal, she’s your mother, and naturally, she can’t bear to see you doing these things. In her first impression, you are suffering, wronged, abused, and of course, she feels terrible."
"If she still has such feelings, why was she so heartless to abandon me in the first place?" The little girl lifted her head, her face unexpectedly cold, "Little Aunt, actually, when it comes down to it, my mother and Xiao Xiao’s mother are no different. They are both selfish villains, only thinking of themselves, never considering us children, treating us like objects, hugging us when they feel like it, and when they don’t, discarding us like a broken bag..."
Qiao Qingyu, "..."
A bit worried, this child was too smart.
She too fell silent, not intending to guide He Xuerong on this point, because what He Xuerong said was not wrong.
These two people indeed didn’t deserve to be mothers.
People like them, one should carry on with their own covert enterprises without getting married or being with anyone, and the other should indulge in a romantic and carefree life, also not bringing harm to He Xiuwen.
But then again, Qiao Qingyu said with a smile, "But we should all thank your mother, for without her, there would be no one to bring a little fairy like you to the human world."
He Xuerong blinked, the cold expression on her face suddenly vanishing, her eyes sparkling, as if they were filled with light, she laughed, smiling like a little sun.
She loved her little aunt, so very much...
When He Xiuyu returned home, Qiao Qingyu asked about the incident, knowing Rongrong, no matter how smart, would have only learned one side of the story.
Then Qiao Qingyu found out that He Xiuyu had also been at home, he had taken a phone call, and Rongrong had taken it upon herself to stand on a stool and prepare the porridge.
This might seem dangerous, but it really wasn’t.
The porridge was warm, and the fire in the stove had long been extinguished, but in Liu Ge’s eyes, it wasn’t so, as she wailed and accused He Xiuyu, even saying Qiao Qingyu shouldn’t be studying and should focus entirely on caring for the child. How could she do this?
Yes, how could she say such things?
Before He Xiuyu could lose his temper, the little firecracker He Xuerong sprang into action, bombarding Liu Ge who scurried off pale-faced.
Qiao Qingyu glanced at Rongrong playing with Xiao Hu in the courtyard, this child, with her sharp tongue but also deeply affectionate nature.
She truly didn’t regret doting on her.
That evening, He Xiuyu entered the Space Device and stood before the seed cultivation machine, speaking in a low voice, "I have deciphered all the principles, now only lacking one type of startup energy source."
Qiao Qingyu’s eyes brightened, and she quickly asked, "What kind of startup energy source?"
He Xiuyu pondered for a moment and said leisurely, "For now, let’s call this energy source X substance, but as far as I know, such a material does not exist on the present Earth."
Qiao Qingyu wasn’t shocked; to tell the truth, the seed cultivation machine looked very sci-fi, and the seeds it produced were still very sci-fi.
It was beyond human comprehension.
Qiao Qingyu even thought, could it be that during the Space Period, the seeds went through some black hole to another place, cultivated by people there, and then sent back again?
Although this idea was somewhat fantastical, standing inside this Space Device, she couldn’t help but think so. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Because seeds cultivated in this way had a 100% germination rate.
Ordinary seeds, once placed inside, would undergo a modification of their molecular structure, automatically retaining superior traits and enhancing them. Some drawbacks would be meticulously eliminated, although not perfectly, resulting in nearly exceptionally superior varieties.
This naturally couldn’t compare to the seed cultivation machines of the current world.
Moreover, it was capable of mass production.
"So you’re saying that this kind of seed cultivation machine can’t be constructed anymore." Qiao Qingyu was somewhat disappointed.
He Xiuyu didn’t respond, his gaze drifting to the edge of the Space Period, then he walked over there.
The entire Space Device was encased in a frosted glass that rendered the outside invisible.
Presumably, there was no life outside; otherwise, their location wouldn’t be so tranquil.
Yet He Xiuyu vaguely felt that what he needed, what he’d dubbed "X substance," might be right outside the Space Device, and he also had an unsettling feeling that he wasn’t unfamiliar with the area outside—it was a place he might have visited before.
But this sensation was profoundly eerie.
How could it be possible for him to have been there?
If it hadn’t been for Qiao Qingyu, he wouldn’t even have known the Space Device existed. However, that raised the question—if he was entirely ignorant about the Space Device, then why did the letters in the test tube match the ones he frequently used?
Perhaps Qiao Qingyu’s reasoning had some merit. Could it be that a future version of himself crafted such a Space Device and then sent it back to Qiao Qingyu through time and space?
This was the most reasonable explanation he could come up with at the moment.
However, He Xiuyu was aware of his limitations. With the current state of development and his abilities, this explanation was utterly implausible.
Qiao Qingyu followed and tapped on the glass wall, saying, "When I first got it, I studied it for quite a while, and it seemed to be all of a piece."
He Xiuyu looked toward the glass, but no matter what, he couldn’t see outside.
"Even though we can’t find that substance, a machine like this would still greatly aid our current seed production process."
He looked at Qiao Qingyu and continued, "You’ll have to work hard for a few more years."
"It’s not about working hard, I just think that you don’t need to be in such a hurry. Even without the machine here, the seeds we’ve cultivated are already on par with the seed production standards of developed countries," Qiao Qingyu said.
He Xiuyu’s gaze was gentle. Indeed, that was the truth. It was because he didn’t want Qiao Qingyu to become too entangled with the Space Device that he had rushed.
Thus, he didn’t continue the topic and instead told Qiao Qingyu, "Yesterday, I installed a surveillance instrument near Xiwatun..."
"So you suspect that the mysterious energy body is some trick made by Han Liuya?"
"It’s not ruled out," He Xiuyu said gravely.
At certain times, science and Mysticism don’t actually repel each other; they should be categorized together.
What lies at the end of science?
And what lies at the end of Mysticism?
When certain things develop to a particular stage, what was once considered Mysticism can now be explained with science, and some scientific definitions can also be classified under Mysticism.
In reality, it’s a complementary yet somewhat oppositional relationship.
But there is a saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same," which is roughly the point.
