Chapter 93 Harold: I could have made a living with my talent, but you want me to sell my body

"Ah? Who told you to always come up with some wonderful ideas? The first time I heard you say you wanted to study the deceptive flower, I was shocked - so what is it this time?" Kavi nudged Harold's chest with his elbow, speaking in a light tone.

"The Cheat Flower and the Sweet Flower, to be precise, should be said to be a hybrid of the Cheat Flower and the Sweet Flower." Harold said slowly.

He skipped the more common hybridization part of the subject, he wanted to hear Kavi's opinion on the hybridization of monsters and plants.

"Hmm...Hmm?!" Kavi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

what?

He pinched his face, wondering if he had just heard it wrong or if he was dreaming.

"Is it strange, senior?" Harold asked.

"Of course! Why would you do that?!" Kavi was shocked.

"In order to make the way of obtaining the nectar of the flower safer." Harold briefly stated his idea.

"That's it."

After listening to this, Kavi nodded slightly, reluctantly accepting this explanation, but then he had a new question:

"So what kind of offspring will be produced by the cross between the Cheat Flower and the Sweet Flower? A giant Sweet Flower that moves? Or a Cheat Flower that looks like a potted plant?"

Thinking of that scene, Kavi always felt a little uneasy.

But he changed his mind and thought that the purpose of Haroldt's research was to benefit the people of Xumi. Besides, they had known each other for nearly a year, so he believed that this junior fellow student would not cause any mess. His worries were gradually soothed.

“I’m not sure now, maybe it has both of the last two, it depends on whether the sweet flower is the mother plant or the fraud flower is the mother plant.

But it may be a little too early to say this. My project may be rejected. My mentor wants to consult Lord Nafis first and ask him to make the final decision. "

Harold held his forehead and said with a little distress, "If it is really killed, then I will turn my research direction to the hybridization of Dun Dun peaches."

Hearing that the wise men of the Shenglun School would intervene in this matter, Kavi scratched his hair, feeling a little complicated.

He didn't know whether he should comfort Harold and tell him that his project would definitely pass smoothly, or should he persuade him to just choose Dun Dun Tao and not go for the scam.

"Senior, are you losing some hair?" Haroldt noticed Kavi's actions and jokingly changed the subject.

It can be seen that Kavi has been worried about his research project recently, and scratching his hair has become a habitual action for him.

"Really?!" Kavi froze in an instant.

"I've lost a lot of hair recently..." Kavi muttered to himself, a panicked look gradually appearing on his face. He lowered his head and showed the top of his head to Haroldt, "Haroldt, can you help me take a look, is it serious?"

Harold pretended to look at it for a while, and even deliberately touched the roots of his hair with his hands, which made Kavi even more panicked.

"It's not serious, senior, but I think if you want to save your hair, you should rest early." Harold said.

Kavi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Artists often can't sleep when inspiration strikes."

And inspiration always comes when taking a bath and sleeping, Harold deeply agreed and added in his heart.

"Senior, are you drawing the blueprint for the voice-controlled typewriter? How's the progress?" Harold walked around to Kavi and looked at the blueprint on the table with some curiosity.

Because of homophones, the voice-controlled typewriter designed by Kavi for the sacrificial body still could not abandon the mechanical keyboard, and still could not escape the more than 700 keys.

In order to make the keyboard not too large and make the typewriter look cumbersome, Kavi designed the keyboard into a three-layer drawer style, with more than 200 keys on each of the upper, middle and lower layers, which can be pushed back and stacked into a cube after use.

"It looks very nice." Harold praised. At least in terms of appearance, this typewriter met his aesthetic standards.

"Ah..." Hearing this, Kavi sighed heavily, looking embarrassed, "But the actual production is more difficult than I thought. I thought that with a clear idea and a successful experience, I could quickly make this typewriter... But I have failed more than a dozen times in more than a month."

After saying this, he subconsciously wanted to grab his hair, but as soon as his hand touched the ends of his hair, he suddenly remembered Haroldt's words and put his hand down in disappointment.

“After removing all homophones, there are still 103 pronunciations of the sacrificial body, which means that I will use 103 different concentrations of elemental power.

I can do it using only my own grass elemental power, but it is too difficult to make a clear difference. My six attempts all failed. The input error rate was too high. The most exaggerated error rate was as high as 40%, and it would also cause serious damage to the equipment.

If I want to use different elemental powers to distinguish them, then I need to hire other God's Eye holders, but they always misunderstand what I mean, maybe my expression is not clear enough. "

There was one thing Kawi didn't mention, and that was the issue of funds. Even if he had a certain amount of assets, the price of thousands of elemental force storage devices was still a sky-high price for him, not to mention the elemental force display potion imported from Mond...

Kavi found himself poor.

Hmm...it seems that even with elemental mechanics it is still difficult to complete this project.

Harold rested his chin on one hand and also fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he tentatively said, "Can we not just fill in the elemental force? How about adding something else to differentiate it?"

This is inspired by the movie version of the Death Elementary School Student, "The Trembling Score", in which the sound of the organ changes due to foreign objects in the pipes.

But he couldn't tell whether it was useful or not, and he didn't really understand the principle of the voice typewriter that Kavi mentioned.

It's not that Kavi didn't explain it before, but Harold was a complete novice in mechanics and elemental science, so later Kavi simply gave up using some of the technical terms in those fields, and only used the word "correlation" when talking to him and Elhaisen about the operating principle of the typewriter's combination of elemental power and mechanics.

In short, Harold and Elhaisen always heard sentences like "the correlation is not high" and "the correlation is too close" from him.

I can understand every word, but I still don't understand the context.

"Harold, you are my inspiration!" Kavi stood up, put the feather pen behind his ear, and quickly rolled up the drawings on the table, saying, "I'll try it now, and we'll talk later!"

Kavi walked quickly into his studio with the blueprints, Harold took off his coat and threw it casually on the chair, then walked into the kitchen.

Kawi had recently bought a coffee machine and some fine coffee beans, and all three of them loved them.

Harold took a look at the remaining coffee beans in the coffee machine, turned on the coffee machine and poured in an appropriate amount of hot water. He set the amount of coffee beans and the coffee machine soon started making a "squeaking" sound.

It would only take a minute to wait. Harold did not waste time just waiting. Instead, he let the "Sumeru Ancient Characters" float in front of his eyes and continued reading.

Only when the coffee machine made a "beep, beep" sound did Harold turn around and pour the coffee into the glass.

But when he took out the coffee collector, a drop of hot water dripped from the coffee machine onto the back of his hand. Haroldt instinctively loosened his hand, and the coffee collector fell from his hand and was about to fall to the ground. Haroldt caught it with his quick eyes and hands.

The Eye of God strengthened his body, and his current eyesight and hand speed allowed him to do this.

Luckily, this coffee collector is one that Kavi really likes. If it is broken, it will definitely make a sharp explosion. Harold rinsed his scalded hands under cold water and put the coffee collector on the coaster with one hand.

The dark brown coffee liquid swayed in the glass, creating ripples.

"What bad luck. I feel like something bad is going to happen soon..." Harold muttered to himself.

"People who are favored by fate should not have such thoughts."

Harold suddenly turned around and looked at the coffee collector in surprise. The liquid in the collector was still rippling.

The soothing and proud female voice seemed to come from inside, and her tone seemed to carry a kind of magic, as if to suck people into it.

As if noticing Harold's gaze, the woman changed her tone to a more mature one:

"Nice to meet you, my dear child. Don't worry about these little things. Focusing on the future is what young people should do—"

"Ms. Alice." Harold's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hey?! How did you know it was me?" The voice suddenly became a little at a loss, and the ripples on the water surface suddenly became more obvious.

"Actually, I was shocked at first, but Dolly once said that you would come to find me. From her description, I learned that you are a powerful witch who can do many incredible things, so I immediately connected this incredible incident with you."

As Harold said this, his eyes were fixed on the coffee collector. Although a minute had passed and the shaking of the liquid had stopped long ago, ripples were still appearing on the surface of the liquid.

Is this sound transmission through liquid? What is the principle?

It feels so convenient. I want to learn it.

...Is this coffee still drinkable?

Hearing Harold's compliment, the witch, who always acted according to her heart, immediately threw away all her reserve and said in a youthful and lively tone:

"Really? My partner is still as cute as ever, haha. You are just as she described, very cute. I haven't seen such a cute and thoughtful young person in a long time!

Our last cooperation was very pleasant, which fully demonstrated that we have a tacit understanding. Our milk tea business is very popular in the entire rainforest area, and the princes and princesses have many followers! "

The woman was very proud: "I am so successful, thanks to the ideas and novel framework you provided. Of course, the novel I wrote is also very good, so I also contributed to it."

"Ms. Alice's joining us has helped us achieve our initial goal several months ahead of schedule." Harold said politely, "But please lower your voice. Our house is not soundproofed well. If we talk too loudly, my roommates will hear us."

"Oh oh oh. I'll pay attention." Alice quickly lowered her voice.

"...You are really good at talking. I really like you!" Her low voice could not hide her joy. "Next, we will open milk tea shops in other countries to make more people like our prince and princess. I want to start my 'Teyvat Continent Idol Plan' in advance!"

Then she cleared her throat and said in an unusually friendly tone: "Harold, do you know what an idol is?"

"I don't know, ma'am," Harold lied calmly.

There is no such thing as "idol" in the continent of Teyvat, so there is no reason for him not to know.

"Idols are people who bring joy to everyone and give those who are at their lowest the courage to face life again. So idols are a great group of people. Harold, are you interested in becoming an idol?"

Harold said to himself: If I didn't know what an idol is, I would really believe it.

Alice paused, then quickly continued, "It's very simple. All you need to do is dress yourself up and learn to sing. I think you are very suitable to play the role of Prince Water in Slime Continent. I will teach you how to do it, and I can definitely turn you into a rising star in Teyvat! How about it, do you want to give it a try?"

Alice's tone was full of anticipation.

Harold: ...hiss.

That's too much, ma'am. I could have made a living with my talent, but you want me to sell my looks.

Let me think about how to refuse politely and gracefully.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, as one of the creators of the character of Prince Water, I don't think I'm the most suitable person to play this role."

You have named him "Navillette", why do you still let me, Harold, play the role? Go and catch Navilette and Kamisato Ayato.

Harold muttered in his heart.

"Hmm? Don't reject me so straightforwardly. Think about it again!" Alice said in a slightly shy tone.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, my personality and appearance don't match the Prince of Water in my setting."

Harold apologized again, then he changed the subject and continued: "But as the designer of these characters, I accidentally found a very suitable candidate to play the Ice Prince."

"Oh, who is it? Tell me, I will definitely find a way to get him to play the Ice Prince!" Alice said curiously.

"He is a scholar of the Ministry of Education like me. His appearance and temperament are very similar to the Ice Prince in my mind. He is currently doing research in the city of Huaguo."

"His name is Azan," said Harold.
