Chapter 136 823786: The Reformer's Courage Is Forever Young
Pei Hening was genuinely curious: "823786, do you have any weaknesses?"
823786: "Of course, we have different strengths."
As they were talking, a tall man with short dark blue hair, light red eyes, wearing a golden magic robe, handsome features, and a tall stature walked over and said, "823786, good day."
823786 greeted him politely: "Good day, Mr. Sebastian."
It paused for a moment, then said, "Let me introduce you. This is a student from West Asia. I've invited her to participate in the innovation competition with me."
Upon hearing this, Sebastian looked at Pei Hening and glanced at the glasses she was wearing—[unnecessary explanation].
Is it a prop? But it doesn't quite seem like it. He seems to smell the scent of something that has long since disappeared into the river of fate, but how could that be?
After regaining his composure, Sebastian said, "Welcome, student."
Pei Hening noticed his gaze, but her expression remained unchanged as she greeted him, "Good day, Mr. Sebastian."
"823786, how's the progress on the deceptive prop you researched last time?"
823786 said calmly, "It's a bottleneck period, which is why I'm participating in the innovation competition."
Sebastian said with slight regret, "Okay, then you take the students around and find some inspiration. I have to go and deal with the competition."
"OK."
After Sebastian left, Pei Hening asked, "Teacher 823786, are you good at prop making?"
"You'll find out later. Come on, let me show you around some more."
Pei Hening remarked as he toured the site that it truly lived up to its reputation as an innovation competition, with each participant creating something incredibly imaginative.
Even if what they've created isn't perfect, it has proven the feasibility of their ideas and promoted the integration of magical disciplines and props with different focuses, which is quite impressive.
She couldn't help but feel envious: "They are really amazing."
823786 agreed with her: "It's really impressive. Their transformation from learners to creators is commendable."
After analyzing her statement, 823786 added: "The faces of living beings will grow old, but the courage of reformers will remain forever young; magnificent palaces will be covered in dust, but the vision of creators will always be fresh. Students, envy and jealousy are a very strong rope. You must learn to grab it and climb up, instead of being bound by the rope."
In the minds of 823786, or rather, the vast majority of strong individuals, envy and jealousy are not negative emotions that must be eliminated, but rather strong signals of desire and growth emanating from life. They are like ropes that can suspend and suffocate living beings, or become ropes that propel them upward.
Pei Hening nodded earnestly: "I understand what you mean."
When she was younger and more naive, she would be overwhelmed by these negative emotions. As she grew older and her character matured, she learned to face her envy and jealousy with equanimity.
Break free from the vicious cycle of comparing yourself to others, grasp the source of her envy and jealousy, and treat that source as a guiding light.
After they strolled around the interactive experience area for a while, 823786 led her toward the core exhibition area.
823786 instructed her: "Wander around the core exhibition area by yourself, but don't leave it. I'm going to exchange new ideas with Sebastian."
Pei Hening agreed.
823786 walked halfway and then came back, his face expressionless as he continued to instruct: "Don't wander around. If you need anything, find the person in charge. Don't leave the core exhibition area. Don't buy any unfinished innovative props. I'll come and pick you up to go back to school in a bit."
Pei Hening: She is an honest person, ( ⌯' '⌯).
"Understood, Teacher 823786."
823786 walked away, looking back every few steps.
Pei Hening wandered around the core exhibition area alone; all the works that could be placed in the core exhibition area were masterpieces.
She was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking around with wonder and curiosity.
"You can sign a contract with us, and we'll pay you royalties once the props are mass-produced."
A familiar male voice rang out from not far away.
Pei Hening looked up and realized that the person speaking was actually Manager Ryan.
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of selling this work."
Ryan didn't try to persuade him further after hearing this, and continued to look for suitable works in the core exhibition area.
"Manager Ryan."
Ryan spotted Pei Hening standing not far away, his eyes lit up, and he went up to talk to her: "Guest, I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence."
"I really liked the souvenirs you gave me when I visited the main city last time. I was just thinking of buying some more from you, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
The plant nutrient solution that Manager Ryan gave her last time worked quite well. She recorded the data of the mysterious seed every day. Although it grew very slowly, at least it grew.
Ryan said helplessly, "We're out of stock lately. The nutrient solution is sold out. Norily's plant growers haven't had time to make plant nutrient solution recently."
When will it be available?
Ryan thought for a moment and offered a reasonably reasonable solution: "How about this, I'll send you a letter once the plant nutrient solution arrives."
Pei Hening: "Okay, thank you."
"Guest, I still need to inspect this batch of innovative props and sign the contract. Excuse me."
Ryan continued to explore the core exhibition area and extend olive branches, while Pei Hening didn't care about accompanying him or not. She quietly looked at the introductions that the creators had placed in front of their works.
— "Anti-theft buckle: Theft skills and items are hard for creatures to guard against. When a transfer is triggered, it will be regarded as theft, automatically anchoring the creature that committed the theft and automatically alarming."
Pei Hening understood the meaning of the sentence, but she still couldn't understand how the magical item worked.
Is there a problem with the description of this work?
Pei Hening shook her head: "No, I just don't understand how this magical item works."
"After using the anti-theft tag, your attribute points, talents, skills, items, resources, and money will be marked. If other beings steal your attribute points, talents, skills, items, resources, or money through improper means, it will trigger tracking magic, alarm magic, and notify the local police station."
"This innovative tool was strongly requested by the Highway Police Department some time ago. It has only been developed into a prototype now, and it is estimated that it will be more than half a year before it is actually implemented."
Pei Hening looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance she had met before. Wasn't this the Chief Inspector?
Her long, dark blue hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her frosty eyelashes were calmly lowered as she gazed at the props before her. Her heterochromatic silver-gray and dark blue eyes remained as cold and aloof as before.
She wore a white and gold fur-trimmed magic robe and a green magic stone necklace.
"police officer."
Lu Wei nodded slightly: "Good day."
She asked in a flat tone, "What do you think of this work?"
