......

The scene changed, and he returned to the same place he left. However, Lai Bai was puzzled just after a while.

When did there become so many people here?

Chapter 63: The Victory of the Fool

In the not-so-big living room, there were four people sitting there, including Shang Bai, and this was when Mei was in the research institute.

Although there were four of them including Xier before, they basically never gathered together except at meal times. It was quite rare for them to get together at such an inappropriate time.

Alicia, who kept looking at several people with squinted eyes and smiling, Hua, who immediately lowered her head shyly when she felt Bai's gaze, and Wei Erwei, who stared at Bai with undisguised curiosity.

It was normal for Alicia to have this look in her eyes. After all, she was curious about everything she saw. As for Hua, he must have learned about her father's rescue during the few days he was away, but judging from his expression, perhaps Hen had exaggerated a lot when he told her.

As for why Velvi appeared here, he had no idea, but he was sure that she was called here by Alicia.

"Abai, how do you feel about traveling these days?" Alicia came closer with a smile and moved her nose calmly.

Sure enough, there is the scent of another girl!

"Not bad. I went to watch a sports meet and sent Xier back."

"Sports meet, what a pity! If I hadn't been busy then, I would have gone with you, Abai." Alicia looked regretful.

"It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future. Have you finished that matter?"

"I'm a little unlucky, but there will be opportunities in the future."

Bad luck? Bai was a little surprised.

There aren't many people in this world who can compare with Alicia in luck. Could it be that cat?

A figure appeared in Bai's mind.

"Okay, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Abai, tell me about the sports meeting. For example... are those girls pretty?"

Alicia stared at Bai curiously, a sly look in her eyes.

Bai Dandan glanced at her and said calmly: "Not as pretty as you."

Alicia was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed as she moved away. "Such straightforward praise, even I would be shy, right?"

"Really? I've never seen you shy before." Bai turned his head with curiosity.

Alicia puffed up her lips immediately.

What? She is a normal girl, okay? She will be shy normally. If she has never been shy, there will be no chance at all. How can there be a chance for no reason?

Really, she knew everything, but she didn't take the initiative. She couldn't bring herself to ask, could she? That would be so embarrassing.

This interaction between the two also attracted the attention of Hua and Wei Erwei.

Hua kept looking at the two of them, trying to guess their relationship. Wei Erwei seemed to be thinking about something, and made an inexplicable laugh, but when she noticed Hua's condition, her eyes became a little strange.

Is the relationship here so messed up?

Leaving Alicia sulking aside, Bai looked across.

"Hua, Wei Erwei, welcome to our house. Would you like something to drink? You're welcome."

"Well, juice will be fine, thank you."

"Is there any coffee?"

"Do you want a quick one?"

"Thank you. Let's switch to juice too."

Taking out two bottles of juice and placing them in front of the two, Bai casually asked, "It's rare for guests to come here. Do you mind chatting with me?"

"Few guests? I don't think so."

Hua was about to say something, but Wei Erwei spoke first, so he had no choice but to wait.

"Why? Could it be that this place has been visited several times while I was away for a few days?"

Bai thought carefully and realized that they had moved here for a few months. Apart from Hen and Blanca who would occasionally come to visit, only Mei's father came to visit for a few days after he arrived.

Compared to other noisy residences in the warrior area, his place is so quiet that he seems isolated from the world.

"I don't know whether anyone has visited us, but I think based on this..." Weiwei glanced at Alicia, and Alicia responded with a sweet smile.

"With this beautiful and enthusiastic Alicia, this place shouldn't be so deserted."

Bai felt this deeply. Perhaps it was because there were relatively few Fire Moth people now, and most people only had a good impression of Alicia. When more people came in the future and Alicia had a better relationship with most people, this place would definitely become extremely lively.

"That makes sense, but that's something for the future, and it might even start with the arrival of you two."

"It's really an honor."

"Okay, forget about the compliments. I don't like hearing them either. With me here, Alicia won't do anything to you. Just tell me what you have to say."

Bai waved his hand to interrupt the conversation.

He had also noticed the look in Vilvi's eyes when she looked at Alicia. It was obvious that she was worried about the last time she was caught by Alicia. Moreover, it was not something that Vilvi, who considered herself a genius, would do to flatter others so bluntly.

"Oh, in that case, I won't be polite." Wei Erwei's eyes lit up.

"Go ahead."

Ignoring the angry look from Alicia, Bai took a sip of juice and calmly waited for Vilvi's answer.

"It's simple. I need money."

"Short of money?" Bai was a little surprised. Didn't Vilvi join the Fire Moth? Last time in the Mobius Laboratory, didn't they talk about handing over the Key of God Project to Vilvi?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a situation where there is a lack of money.

Normally, if this kind of project is given to a certain person, funds will be allocated, but before that, that person must be investigated first.

It had only been a few days since he left, and the plan had only recently been confirmed within the Fire Moth. May and Mebius' nomination of Velvet had not even been confirmed by the top management, so how could they possibly approve the funds right now?

Without the approved funds, Weiwei is now just a petty thief caught by Alicia, an ordinary person who can live in the Fire Moth through the back door. Even her daily expenses are provided by Alicia from her own small treasury.

There are no problems in life, but Wei Liwei doesn't want to live an ordinary life. She has a lot of ideas and a bunch of experiments she wants to do.

So she really needed some money to support her in buying some equipment. As for why she came to Bai, it was naturally because she saw that Bai was not an ordinary person.

Her first impression of Bai was that he was just an ordinary person with decent looks, but what she didn't expect was that someone as detached as Alicia would actually obey Bai's words.

Either Bai and Alicia have a special relationship, or Bai has special abilities.

During this period, she also inquired about the news here, such as when Bai came and what his identity was, but unfortunately almost no one knew.

But it doesn't matter. At least she knows that Mei and Alicia joined here together, and with their joining, Fire Moth received a batch of capital injection.

Now that Bai and Alicia's relationship has been confirmed, it's not difficult to guess where the funds came from.

So she asked around where Alicia often appeared, went there to wait for Alicia, and told her her thoughts, so she followed Alicia here.

"Yes, I need money to carry out my research."

"So what can I expect from you?"

"Well...my kindness and a magic show?" Weiwei asked tentatively.

She thought her kindness was worth something, after all, she was a genius, and the magic show was just another insignificant extra.

The main reason was that apart from these, she really had nothing to offer now. Seeing how Alicia and the girl named Hua next to her treated Bai, and also seeing a girl named Mei from the First Research Institute, she felt that even if she threw herself at Bai, she might not be attracted to him, so she didn't bring it up.

Velvet's kindness...

Bai gave her a strange look. Could it be that she was planning to attack him in the future?

As for magic performances, he is very familiar with even magic, which is beyond common sense. The so-called magic has no secrets to him at all.

But after all, she is Wei Erwei. She is a genius to begin with, and with her unconditional support, it is really curious to see how far she can go in the end.

"No problem, but I don't have the money. I've handed it all over to Mei to manage. You can go and tell Mei and she'll agree. But how much you can get depends on your ability."

Before Wei Erwei could respond, Alysia exclaimed, "Wow, Abai, when did you give the money to Mei? How come I didn't know?"

"Oh, just now."

"?"

Alicia didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

From the time Bai appeared until now, she has never seen Bai touch any mobile phone or communication device. How did he transfer the money?

"But what will you do if you give it all to Mei?"

"Are you stupid? I wouldn't save some for myself or something. Besides, even if I run out, I can just go find Mei or something."

"What? I care about you, and if you ask Mei for money, people will tell on you."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."

"Well, I don't like to talk nonsense. It's just a normal communication with others. Besides, Bai, you have made friends with me and I can't lie. I can't lie to others when they ask me, right?"

Bai glanced at Alysia, indicating that he didn't want to answer.

He had learned that lying was not allowed, so if someone asked him a question, he could just not answer or change the subject. He didn't believe that Alicia couldn't think of this solution.

I originally thought that Alicia just didn't think about it for the time being, but now it seems that she is just making trouble.

Seeing that Bai no longer responded, Alicia snorted softly as if she had won, and then stopped harassing Bai.

Wei Erwei also saw that the two stopped fighting and continued to ask.

"Then can you tell me the highest I can get?"

She will show her talent according to the amount of funds she can get. Otherwise, it would be laughable if she worked hard for a long time but didn't even have enough money to set up a venue.

“I don’t know what the highest you can get is, but I can give you a standard.

Haven’t you been to the First Research Institute? If you’re willing…”

"Can I just pick any instrument from there?"

"You can be bolder. As long as Mei recognizes you, even if it means spending money to build another First Research Institute, I'll do it."

"Then it seems I have to show my performance well." Wei Erwei's face showed interest.

She could hear the meaning of building a first research institute, which included even the instruments inside.

After all, if it is just the shell of a research institute, it may not even be as valuable as an instrument inside.

She had thought that Bai was rich, but she had never thought he was so rich. Could it be that the current First Research Institute was built with his funds?

Wei Liwei made a bold guess, and the more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"Okay, I'm done with my work, it's your turn next."

Transferring the conversation to Hua who was standing beside her, Wei Erwei began to think alone.

She and Hua didn't know each other before, and the only reason they appeared here together was because they met when they came here with Alicia.

At that time, Hua was wandering near the door. After being noticed by Alicia, no one knew what the two said, but Alicia directly pulled Hua in.

Seeing Bai's gaze shift towards him, Hua clenched the juice in his hand slightly and stood up straight, as if facing the teacher's gaze in class.

"Hello, my name is Hua. I'm fourteen years old and used to live in Canghai City..."

Before he could finish his words, a light laugh came from Bai's side.

"Don't be nervous, Hua, just treat us as friends. My name is Bai, so just call me by my name."

"Okay, okay, Shiro."

Hearing the familiar tone, Hua felt a little more relaxed.

"Actually, I came here to say thank you. Thank you for saving my father, me and my friends.

It’s just that I came here before and found no one here. Today I just wanted to see if there was anyone here, so I didn’t bring any gifts…”

As he spoke, Hua lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Although it was the Fire Moth's people who brought her and Carol out of Changkong City, before that, a Honkai Beast almost put them in danger.

After coming here, she thought carefully about the situation at that time. The two of them no longer had any means to fight each other. Apart from the clothes on her body, she only had a basically scrapped mobile phone and the badge that was given to her for free.

If the cell phone had special abilities, she would have discovered it long ago, so the problem couldn't be with the cell phone. Although she didn't know what happened at the time, she knew in her heart that it was the badge that protected them.

And that badge was given to Bai, so the credit should naturally go to Bai.
