Chapter 75: Kawi: Duo Shao? !
After finishing his work here, Harold immediately returned to his residence in Xumi City. Dolly sent his share of the money directly to his home. He had to count the amount and plan the future experimental progress. If the funds were sufficient, he could rent some fields and transform them into experimental fields suitable for cultivating sea rice.
When he opened the door, he saw Elhaisen sitting on the bench in the living room reading a book. There were scones and milk tea on the table. He was wearing headphones so he didn't hear the sound of the key turning. When Haroldt pushed the door open, he looked up at Haroldt, then lowered his head and continued reading.
"Good afternoon, Senior Alhaisen."
"good afternoon."
Harold was talking to him, and Elhaisen reached for his headphones to turn off the noise reduction function. "The new package is in the study. Is there anything else?"
Harold wanted to nod, but when he saw the booklet and milk tea on the table, he was stunned for a moment and asked casually, "Is it a popular novel recently? Is it good?"
It's not surprising that Elhaisen reads "The Bizarre Adventure of Slime Land". He reads all kinds of books and enjoys the analysis process.
El Haisen: "It's a different knowledge system from ordinary paper books. I don't dislike it. You can try reading it and exchange your thoughts with Kawi. After all, he has been clamoring to recommend this book to you a few days ago."
"Harold, how come you have time to come back today? Don't you need to stay in the Hua Castle to look after the research materials?"
Kavi heard the two people talking, walked out of the studio, and said with a happy face.
Harold: "I have finished my research for today. I will come back to take a look."
Kavi said happily, "Well, okay, how about some milk tea? It's a very popular snack in Port Omos recently, and it tastes very good."
"Really? I heard other scholars talking about it in Huachengguo. Has the senior bought it?"
Harold said with a smile.
He mainly wanted to see how much Kawi had bought.
"Of course. I often go to Port Omos to buy building materials. I know all the new products there."
Hearing that Harold was interested, Kavi immediately opened the refrigerator, took out a cup of milk tea, inserted a straw into it and handed it to Harold.
Haroldt paid attention to Kavi's movements and was relieved when he didn't see the refrigerator full of milk tea.
"Just drink it. This is milk tea exclusively for the water slime character. Junior, you don't hate slimes, right?"
Kavi asked specifically. The news that a slime milk tea specialty store had opened in Omos Port had spread to Xumi City very early, but many residents of Xumi City showed subtle expressions when talking about this matter, especially after they knew that there were really slimes in it.
"Hmm...it turns out that the rumor about adding slime is true. I'm quite curious, but I do need to be mentally prepared if I drink it for the first time."
As he spoke, Harold took a small sip.
It’s actually sweet, a deluxe version.
Harold smiled and said, "It tastes good," under Kavi's expectant gaze.
"I think so too. They have launched many flavors, but a person can only buy three large cups or six small cups a week. The clerk said that's because eating too much slime gel is harmful to the human body."
Kavi said with regret, and then, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "But the holders of the Eye of God will not be affected, so they are not limited in purchase, Harold, you can buy as much as you want!
If you want to buy a lot, you can join a support club. They will give you coupons every week, and if you buy a lot, they will reimburse part of it. There are many such associations in Port Omos now, and you can see them handing out brochures next to every milk tea shop. "
Senior Kawi has indeed been poisoned. He has even started to actively recruit people to join the sect, Harold thought helplessly.
"And they will give you badges if they help them recruit people. The person in front of you is almost going to become a core member of the association. Do they have a rule that if you recruit a holder of the Eye of God to join the association, your points will be doubled?"
El Haisen suddenly spoke.
Kavi: "Don't talk nonsense! I just signed the roster because a school girl asked me to help her. She said that she could become a high-priced member if she recruited one more person. Besides, what's wrong with becoming a member? You can get coupons every week, and there is also a booklet.
——El Haisen, do you want to join our association? I will ask my junior schoolmate if she can help me get the coupons. If so, won’t we be able to save a lot of time? "
Elhaisen: "And help you become a key member? Then we might hear rumors soon that a man who looks like the 'Light of Myoron' is distributing flyers in Omos Harbor."
Kavi refuted dissatisfiedly: "I've already said that you can't become a senior member just by inviting people to join the club. It's not that simple! To become a senior member, you must at least make three support posters and write a 10,000-word speech..."
"I think these won't be a problem for you. You'll get what you want soon. Congratulations in advance."
Kavi was going crazy: "I just wanted to help my junior schoolmate, and I got the coupons. Although the milk tea is indeed delicious and the novel is indeed good, I definitely won't hand out flyers!"
"Oh, really? I don't think so."
Harold: "Senior, handing out flyers is too embarrassing. I believe you will not do it. The same goes for making support posters and writing essays. Do you mean novels? Senior Elhaisen said you have read it. Is it good?"
The topic finally stopped revolving around "becoming a core member of the association". Kavi was overjoyed, especially when he heard Haroldt asking about the novel. He put all the unpleasantness behind him and talked to Haroldt incessantly about the plot of the novel.
"The romantic tone brings me a wonderful experience. I like literary works. This is different from most of the books that record knowledge in the Palace of Wisdom. I can feel that there is no gap between it and art!"
Kavi said excitedly, picking up the booklet on the table and turning to the first page.
"Especially this one. Look at these palaces! Mondstadt style, Liyue style, Fontaine style... It's amazing. If only I knew who drew this, I would definitely have a good discussion with him about architectural design!"
Kavi looked fascinated.
Senior Kawi's evaluation is really high. After all, this is written by Ms. Alice herself, so the writing style must be impeccable, Harold thought.
"...No, did I put the manual here? When did it happen?"
After Kavi finished speaking, he touched the table belatedly.
El Haisen: "Because the one in your hand is mine."
"Yours? Oh, it's the one I gave you along with the milk tea. Have you read it?! How did you feel about it? Can you tell me your thoughts after reading it using your knowledge of literature?
I'm really curious, what kind of sparks will be created when your knowledge meets literary works that need to be interpreted from an artistic level? Will it cause a forest fire?"
Kavi was both disgusted and curious.
El Haisen: "The writing is beautiful and the sentences are coherent. It is a rare masterpiece. What else do you want to hear?"
"...Haha, I knew it was like that. Hey, asking you to interpret it from an artistic perspective is too difficult for you. Your meager artistic reserves are not enough to support you in completing this significant activity. How about analyzing the plot? This should be your expertise, right?"
After Kavi finished speaking, he became very curious. He really wanted to know how Elhaisen would reason.
Elhaisen glanced at Kavi and silently turned on the noise reduction function of his headphones.
"Hey, what do you mean?!" Kavi shouted.
Ever since Elhaisen bought this broken headset, he knew very well what Elhaisen's action meant.
"Senior, forget it, let Senior Elhaisen read in peace."
Harold holds Kavi.
"You're right, just leave him alone, we shouldn't be kind to him!" Kavi said harshly, turned around and faced Harold with a smiling face.
"When you come back, take your package to your room. Since you didn't come back and we didn't enter your room, we put it in the study. What's in it? Why is it so heavy? Is it a mechanical part?"
Kavi was very curious, he was also helping to move things that day, the package was very heavy, and it was difficult for five of them to lift it. He always felt that there were many small pieces of metal in the huge package, but he really couldn't guess what was inside.
"No, do you want to take a look, senior?" Harold asked.
"May I?"
Harold nodded, and went into the study with Kavi to untie the hemp rope that tied the bag.
"It's Mora?! These are all?!!"
When Kavi saw the golden Mora sliding out, his mouth opened in surprise.
Harold scooped up a handful of Mora and smiled brightly: "Well, a total of 89.6 million Mora."
Kavi opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Duo?!"
"Because I invested in some businesses and received a large dividend... Don't look at me like that, senior. I'm definitely talking about legal businesses. This is still a small amount. In a few years, I will earn more every month."
After Harold finished speaking, he sighed with some melancholy: "I hope I can earn more. Now this is not enough."
Kavi was frightened and a little distracted.
My junior classmate suddenly became so rich?
But he still sincerely wished you success.
"Thank you, senior." Harold said as he happily picked up the Mora that had fallen on the ground and put it back into the sack.
After a while, Kawi said with some concern: "Junior, this much is not enough? Can you tell me what you want to buy?"
"Many things, for example, artificial ponds, irrigation pipes, experimental fields and so on, are all used for research. I won't spend money on strange things, don't worry, senior." Haroldt said.
Hearing Harold say this, Kavi felt a little relieved.
After delivering the first income to his room, Haroldt began to keep accounts. Now the freeze-dried products and milk tea business has just started, and the sales are only on a small scale. Once they are sold overseas in the future, his income will definitely increase hundreds of times, and he will not have to worry about research funds anymore.
Harold stayed in Xumi City happily for one night. The next morning he heard a "ding ding dong dong" sound coming from next door.
The soundproofing of the house is really poor. I finally understand why Elhaisen wears headphones.
Harold muttered to himself as he walked out of the room and knocked on the door of Kavi's studio.
The "ding-dong" sound of metal collision stopped abruptly.
"It's past nine!" Kavi yelled and opened the door.
What he saw was not Elhaisen's expressionless face, but Harold. Kavi was stunned for two seconds, then he remembered that Harold stayed last night.
"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" Kavi asked self-reproachfully.
"No, I woke up at seven. I came to say goodbye to my senior."
Harold looked inside and saw a huge unfinished building model on Kavi's workbench, and a lot of mechanical parts were piled on the ground.
"These are parts for a tricycle. I previously made a tricycle using some off-the-shelf parts and a small number of custom parts. Now that I'm going to put shared tricycles in Xumi City, I think it's better to use molds to make the parts. Look at these parts. You can assemble an identical tricycle with just them."
Kavi explained to Harold.
“The Fatwa Council has approved the ‘shared tricycle’ project and allocated funds for the project, which is enough for me to customize the molds and make the parts.
Although they approved us to use locators and issue tricycle driving licenses to residents, they did not agree to set up a special agency to manage shared tricycles.”
Kavi was not disappointed. In his opinion, the result was quite good, much better than he expected.
"I wish my own projects could pass the review so smoothly. Recently, my public building design projects are always rejected on the grounds of 'over-beautification'. Sigh."
Kavi let out a long sigh.
