Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 230 Meeting with Frank

"Will, what are you doing?"

Star looked at Will's sudden words with a puzzled look on his face.

Will was also stunned for a moment, because he felt:
The "premonition" that Ouroboros would eat him seemed to be broken and disappeared completely.

He was still thinking about saying something nice.

After all, it is not shameful. In the face of a fatal threat, he would even lower himself to ask for Sta's protection.

Fortunately, that danger has disappeared now——

This wave, this wave is called human relations and worldly wisdom!

Star glanced at Will who was standing there, and then heard Bai Zao in the "channel" say in confusion:

"By the way, you seem to have some thoughts about this 'Mercury Snake'?"

So when Star received Baizao's emotion, he hurriedly explained:
"Don't talk nonsense, I have serious ideas, and this is not for you."

"Oh, for me?"

Bai Zao had doubts in his mind. He was not Ouroboros, and judging from the way the Mercury Snake addressed Star:
"Bai Zao" he wouldn't think it was okay to let Ouroboros take action against Star's "brother".

That's why, in response to Sta's explanation, he didn't understand what Sta was going to do.

"If Silver City wants to survive, it is hard to say whether it can obtain food continuously and escape the fateful curse just by relying on the methods I mentioned."

"Secondly, there are other surviving cities in the God-Forsaken Land. They don't have channels to communicate with the outside world like Silver City does. It's impossible to ask them to buy food from here."

"So, I needed a relatively 'normal' crop that could grow in that environment."

"However, even with your help, it will still take quite some time to cultivate this crop. If I can have the assistance of a 'Mercury Snake' who controls 'luck', I think this time will be much shorter."

Feeling that there was no rebuttal from the "channel", Star picked up his cane, got up from the sofa and walked towards Will.

He touched Will's head, smiled and said:

"From now on, you're Will Wayne."

"But if you don't mind, the name Will can be changed."

"Then forget it." Will looked disdainful, obviously not trusting Star's naming skills, and continued, "Besides, the name 'Will' has a special meaning to me, otherwise it would not have become my usual name."

"Is this name an anchor that helps you maintain your humanity?"

Star asked.

Seeing Will nodded, he did not ask any more questions and said:
"Come on, I found you a 'playmate' for the next period of time."

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Will's face suddenly changed.

"It's nothing. That person will take you to do something meaningful."

"Your tone is like coaxing a child."

"No." Star protested, "I will really make you 'ice cream'."

He looks more like a child trafficker... Will thought with disdain, but he was quite willing to let Star hold his hand and walk away.

……

Backlund, steam train station.

woo-

With a long whistle and the rhythmic sound of lever rollers, the steam train kicked up the mist and drove into the station with its front end towering high.

The windows let in yellow lights and passing heat waves, but they could not hide the bustle and noise inside the carriage. People gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing, but there was one person who sat in his seat with a bag in his hand, looking a little uneasy.

After all, he was a "big pirate" with a bounty of 7000 pounds. He came to Backlund from Enmat Harbor. Even though the captain had helped him cover up his appearance, he was still a little worried. The most important thing was that if he was caught by the authorities, he would no longer be able to conduct his experiments...

"Sir, why is there dirt in your luggage?"

A child nearby saw what was in his luggage bag and became curious, and was then quickly pulled away by his parents.

At the same time, Frank saw the parent's face full of disgust, looking at the dirt stains on his body with disgust.

That's right, why would someone go out without bringing anything important and just carry a sack of soil to Backlund?
But for Frank, this is his most important item.

And if he didn't bring these things, Frank was sure that the captain would not keep the soil on the ship...

I don’t know who the person is who specifically asked him to come here?

But Frank wasn't very interested in making such speculations -

He's dying without the hybridization experiment...

I hope this "new boss" is true to his word and will let him continue his hybridization experiments.

Frank didn't expect much from this.

His experiences over the years have taught him that people value him more as a Sequence 6 "biologist" than as a person.

Rather than his "insignificant" hybridization experiments...

But that is the future of humanity.

He believed that.

Passengers who had arrived at their destination got off the train one after another. Frank, who was alone, hesitated whether he should contact the captain and ask that person to tell him an address so that he would have a place to contact.

As he was thinking, he saw a handsome young man walking towards him holding a cane and holding a child's hand.

Judging from the almost finished ice cream in the child's hand, it seems that they have been waiting here for a while?
The young man took the initiative and said:
"Good afternoon. I suppose you are Mr. Frank?"

"good afternoon."

Frank held out his hand, a little surprised that someone would be happy about his arrival and wait so long in person.

He said with a special emotion, without letting himself explain anything:
"Let's stop talking nonsense. I agree with your idea of ​​hybridization, but it is difficult to hybridize between plants and animals without a high sequence."

"We can start with simple experiments, such as hybridization between species of the same type."

"Or, if you still want to conduct some special hybridization experiments, such as 'fish whose blood is red wine', 'trees that grow bread'... this... is not impossible, but you must report it to me."

"But recently I need you to prioritize this experimental topic: research a crop that can grow in the dark with the help of monster flesh and blood, and preferably can reproduce stably. I will let a 'Rose Bishop' assist you."

"Any more requests?"

"No, no..." Frank, who was holding the luggage bag, was moved by his very relaxed conditions. He was at a loss for a moment and even stuttered.

"Then I can also consider promoting you to Sequence 5 Druid, so that you can have better experimental conditions and better pursue your ideals."

The young man added.

"No... I mean, no need... How could I refuse such excellent experimental conditions..."

Frank was moved by his enthusiasm, and finally his face flushed with excitement, and thousands of words finally came together into one sentence.

"Thank you...thank you, thank you for supporting my idea."

"Don't think too much about it. It's just a simple transaction. It's mutually beneficial."

Then he heard Frank bow:
"Frank has been wandering for half his life..."
