Chapter 2056 Envy
"Patent fee?" He patted the improved equipment enhancement machine gently: "Did you sell the patent for this invention? To whom?"
"I didn't sell the patent for the invention," Kailan said, "What I sold was the patent right to use the machine."
"What's the difference?"
"There's a big difference." She casually nodded my forehead: "Move your head, think about it for a moment, and don't ask me to answer such a trivial matter."
Ya Deyan also gave me a habitual slap and burned a large piece of my newly changed clothes: "Use your brain more and don't always take what's ready. It's such a simple little thing, even I don't know anything." Outsiders who know it will understand it as soon as they hear it. Hey? Why are your clothes so brittle? They turn into dust when you touch them?"
I was very helpless: "Can you not turn into ashes? I don't think about the temperature when you slapped me. If it had been anyone else, I would have blistered."
Kailan glanced at my back and sniffed: "I'm just telling you, why is there a sudden smell of meat? By the way, where did this ball of fire come from?"
"Don't call me Fireball!" Yadyan said angrily. Fortunately, it felt guilty because of the previous things and was embarrassed to get angry. It had to suppress its anger and said in a bad tone: "My name is Yadyan, and I am an elf!"
"Elf?" Kailan frowned: "I don't know much, but I'm not stupid."
Yadyan's body temperature climbed again.
I hurriedly said something to disturb the atmosphere: "Let's put this aside for now. I thought about it carefully. You are quite business-minded. You only sell the right to use the patent, not the invention right. In this way, the investor wants to get more You have to spend money to buy a good equipment enhancement machine. As long as the equipment enhancement machine is constantly updated, money will flow into your pocket like water. But I am very curious, you sold the right to use this patent. To whom?"
"Old Duke," Kailan said.
"Well, the old Duke is indeed a good candidate. He has power, no one dares to offend him, and he won't be jealous."
As I spoke, I praised Kailan for the brilliance of her move. Just when her proud nostrils were about to soar to the sky, I changed the subject: "How much did the old Duke pay you?"
"Thirty thousand. Why are you asking this?" Kailan asked a little warily.
"I'm just curious." I said, walking to the corner filled with empty bottles, picking up an empty bottle, sniffing at the mouth of the bottle, then looking at the bottle body, and facing the bottle that was about to run away a few steps away. Kailan said: "Stop."
Kailan stiffened and turned to me with a sneer: "Is something okay?"
"There must be something wrong." I put down the wine bottle, walked to her with a smile, and pinched her white face: "These wines are all top-notch specialties, right?"
"How, how is it possible? It's just a packaging image."
I kept my smile, strengthened my fingers, and gently pulled twice: "I'll give you another chance."
"Oh, Xiaoyi, I was wrong." Kailan changed his previous expression, half-knelt on the ground, and hugged my waist tightly: "Don't confiscate my pocket money, you really can't do it. If you really can't do it, just give me a good beating."
"Hmm, let's be honest, how much did these drinks cost?"
"Three to three hundred thousand gold coins."
"Um?"
"One, one million and three hundred thousand gold coins."
"The monthly pocket money I give you can only buy one box of this wine at most. Even if you accumulate it and don't spend it, you still can't buy so much. Tell me, where did you get the other money? of?"
"I" Kailan hesitated, his eyes turning rapidly.
"You only have one chance. If you miss it, I won't give you any pocket money in the future."
With just one sentence, all her defenses were instantly defeated: "I, I said, I withdrew all that money from the magic airship base. It was in your name."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, not knowing whether she was ashamed or pretending to be pitiful.
"You are so brave!" I couldn't laugh or cry: "You dare to withdraw money directly from the magic airship base! Tell me, who gave you this idea!"
"No, I came up with this idea myself." Kailan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm tight on money, and I still like to drink. Just Xiaoyi, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore, I..."
She paused and gritted her teeth: "I will use the patent money to make up for this part of the funds."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
Exhaling heavily, I lifted her up and pinched her cheek: "I'm not blaming you for raising money. The airship base has plenty of money and can't spend it all. Those are my money and your money. I won't blame you for raising as much as you want or spending as much as you want. What really worries me is your body. You can make more money, but if your body is broken, you will have nothing."
Sighing, I continued: "Well, I will allow you to drink from now on, and you don't have to hide it secretly behind my back, but you are only allowed to drink two bottles a day. Once it exceeds two bottles, the amount exceeded will be changed from the next day. Once the deductions for the next day are completed, the deductions for the next day will start again. When you make up for the deductions, your qualification to continue drinking will be restored."
"No, don't!" Kailan cried, "My body structure is different from other people's. If I don't drink, I will die!"
I didn't believe her fabricated lies and excuses at all, so I sneered: "Ha."
On the side, Ya Deyan also laughed out loud: "This is the first time I heard that people can die without drinking."
Kailan glared at Yadyan angrily and continued to beg me.
"That's it," I said, "I will hand over the supervision to Daphne. If she can't control you, I will take you directly back to my place. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the life of living with me in advance. And you can have someone supervise you anytime, anywhere.”
Kellan took on a more pitiful posture and begged me, hoping to win my sympathy.
"This topic ends here. If you do more unnecessary things, I will take you away now."
Kailan immediately shut up and followed me like a wronged kitten.
Near dusk, Jin Siqi and Daphne returned side by side. After seeing me, both women were very excited.
We had dinner together, and at the table, I entrusted Daphne with Kellan's drinking rules. Daphne happily accepted the order, while Kellan kept staring at me with resentful eyes.
After that, I introduced the four elves to them. Compared with the fireball of Yadyan, Bingnaisi was very popular. Jin Siqi and the others kept surrounding Bingnaisi, touching here and there. , this overflowing enthusiasm made Bingnais panic.
"Tsk, human being, tsk, woman!" Yadyan said jealously.
"I'm envious." I tilted my chin, staring at Ya Deyan and laughing.
"I'm jealous of you!" Ya Deyan slapped me, burning my sleeve.
"Envy is envy. This is normal. Just like when I see those handsome guys with handsome looks and free and easy temperament, I can't help but feel envious."
