I am doing evil in the collapsed world

Mei subconsciously drank some hot water, took a breath of cold air, and burned her mouth.

Hua: "I don't feel awkward. After all, Xia is a good person."

Mei still couldn't understand Hua's thoughts. That kind of thing should at least wait until marriage, at least after engagement...

Hua naturally reached out and touched Mei's cup, cooling the boiling water to lukewarm. Mei had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the gold ring on Hua's ring finger. The thought that had just been in her mind disappeared in an instant.

"This ring...Hua, you weren't wearing it yesterday, right? Was it a legacy from your parents?"

Mei asked unwillingly.

Hua smiled slightly, spreading her fingers to let Mei see more closely, "Axia bought this for me today. Axia and I took Grace to the mall today. He saw the jewelry in the jewelry store and bought me a lot of jewelry."

Hua knew that buying gold bricks was the most cost-effective way to make refined gold, but Xia not only bought gold bricks, but also bought a lot of jewelry.

He kept the gold bricks himself, but gave himself all the jewelry, saying that it was for him to refine the gold. In fact, it was just for him to choose and keep as he pleased.

When Xia put the ring on her finger, Hua finally confirmed her thoughts.

She put all the jewelry Xia bought for her into her room, not even a gram of it was used.

The question of whether one is strong or not can be cultivated, but if the first gift Xia bought for herself, a ring, a necklace, and a bracelet, is refined into refined gold, Hua feels that she will regret it when she thinks about it in the future.

Mei: "Rings, rings are not something you can wear casually."

Hua: "I know, that's why I take it off when I do housework."

After all, she has not yet fully mastered her soul power and is still using her previous thinking activities. If she loses it, it will be difficult to find it again.

Hua didn't want to modify the ring or put any mark on it. This was the ring Xia Yuansheng wore on her hand in its original state. If she modified it, would it still be the ring he gave her?

Mei: “…”

Hua: "By the way, Xia also bought me a lot of jewelry, and there's a collection of rings too. Do you want to take a look?"

Of course, the one in your hand is the most precious.

Mei: "Let's not have this. Um, I slept too late last night and I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

I drank the water in the cup and went straight back to the room.

Why, why did he even give her a ring and jewelry? It’s only been one day, but it feels like a whole year has passed. Has Xia and Hua’s relationship progressed so rapidly?

Mingming made a friend like Hua who is gentle and considerate, and met a boy like Xia who is so charming. These are two very happy things, so why did it turn out like this when they were combined together?

Silent all night.

Finally, the dual cultivation was successful. It turned out that I failed last night because I was too nervous.

His fate had been broken, and he felt refreshed. Walking out of Hua's room, Xia felt that even the air was much fresher.

Seeing Xia walking out of Hua's room looking refreshed, he scratched his head and put the air freshener away.

"You got up so early today, Hua hasn't gotten up yet?"

Mebius was already waiting for his meal at the table. He had been spoiled by Hua for over a month, and whenever it was time for dinner, he would consciously walk to the table and wait for the food to be served.

It's a bit like a baby bird in a bird's nest waiting for its mother to feed it.

"She's already up. She'll come out after changing her clothes."

Xia: "Who picks out your clothes, Mebius? I can see they all look good on you."

I have an interview to do today. I don’t expect her to dress too fancy, but at least she should look presentable.

After all, I was advertising old and new books, and looking eighteen years old in casual clothes didn't look very professional.

By the way, what do authors usually wear when they attend interviews? A suit and tie?

But Xia Chang's long hair doesn't look good in a suit. If he combs his hair back, he will have a Black Girls' Society vibe.

Of course, he is a cultured gangster, after all, he looks honest.

Mebius: "Blanca helped me pick it out. Do you want to buy some clothes?"

Xia: "I have an interview this afternoon, and I feel like wearing casual clothes would be impolite to the officials."

"Put on a white coat."

When attending an interview, you must wear a white coat. Mebius usually wears a white coat when attending an interview or being interviewed. Her professionalism can be seen at a glance whether it is in a newspaper or a video interview.

As a biological scientist and researcher, it is perfectly appropriate to wear a white coat when attending interviews.

Xia: "Is this appropriate?"

Xia felt that it was a little inappropriate to attend the interview in a white coat, but seeing Mebius's matter-of-fact expression, Xia felt a little unsure.

Is it fashionable to wear white coats for interviews these days?

Mebius: "Of course it's appropriate. Everyone dresses like this. Wearing a suit is too formal, and wearing casual clothes is too lazy. Wearing a white coat gives a formal and casual feeling, as if you just finished work and went there. People are very fond of it when they see it."

Perhaps to convince Xia, Mebius gave an example. "Look at Blanca. She was wearing a white coat when she was giving a lecture and doing an interview at Atlantis University last time. She was also wearing the same one when she was being evaluated as a professor. Everyone dresses like that. It's normal."

He wore a white coat when giving lectures and interviews, and also when giving professorial reviews. Xia felt that what he said might not be the same as what Möbius said.

"I wrote a book and was invited by Mudalu Literature Network to do an interview."

Mebius nodded calmly, "So what?"

A Brief History of Time is a book that has been frequently discussed in the circle of doctoral professors in the past month, and even in the field of biology, many people are discussing it.

It is normal for a phenomenal work with high discussion to be invited for an exclusive interview by Mudalu Literature Network.

"They offered me two million Mu Yuan to invite me."

One million to enrich his own piggy bank, and one million to buy gold. Xiadu has already allocated the money.

Mebius raised an eyebrow. "This price is extremely high. Blanca's previous invitation fee was only around 400,000, but she was interviewing at a university."

Is Mudalu Literature Network so rich?

Xia: "It should also include a signing fee. The electronic copyright of my book has been exclusively given to Mu Dalu Literature Network. But for this kind of interview attire..."

Mebius: "White coat."

Xia: "You still recommend this?"

Mebius nodded seriously, "It might not be right to wear something else, but this is definitely not wrong. It won't look too special no matter the occasion."

At least that's what Mebius thought.

Xia looked at Mebius suspiciously, and Mebius' eyes were full of sincerity.

After looking at Mobius for a full minute, Xia didn't see any guilty expression on Mobius' face, so he just thought about it and let it go.

Why bother with this? You're already in your thirties or forties, why are you still bothering yourself with this kind of thing?

Just wear anything.

Xia: "After a month of rest, you suddenly have a job again. It seems like you have a lot more free time than before. Have you learned to be lazy?"

Mebius: "It's because there are too many people. Cang Xuan Dan Zhu has been learning for a month and can almost help a little. With more people, there will naturally be less time."

When work was mentioned, Mobius's smile slowly faded. "Asha, you don't seem to have much work lately."

Xia: "Didn't we agree before? After I came here, I would just occasionally help you with the base point problem. Aren't you currently researching the Fusion Warrior Project?"

Xia felt that Mebius had become much more cheerful.

Mebius: "Asha, you actually naively believed what the adults said. Should I say you are naive or innocent?"

Xia: "Give it up, Dr. Mobius, you're not cut out for weirdness."

Mebius was discouraged. "But you can't just sit there doing nothing. At least, do some new research."

Xia: "I gave you the hair growth water, didn't I? You also get a share of the money I earn."

Mebius: "..."

Xia: "And Yang Qi Pills."

Mebius: "..."

Xia: "And the formation disk I gave you."

As Xia was talking, he suddenly felt that he had done so many things. His tone became harder and harder. "Mebius, you don't seem to have done as much as I have."

According to the law of conservation of energy, Xia became more and more powerful, and Mobius became weaker and weaker. As Mobius listened to what Xia said, he actually felt guilty.

Xia held his forehead with one hand, "So, Dr. Mebius, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

It was because Mobius saw that he was idle every day that he ignored the issues of time and quantity of results. If he was busy all day long without rest for a month even if he didn't achieve anything, Mobius would probably feel that he had worked very hard.

Mebius: "Maybe it's because we haven't determined the outcome issue before, which makes me feel like you haven't done anything."

After all, Mebius had never thought that Xia could be so abnormal...that the hair growth potion and yang energy pill could produce results so quickly.

Xia and Hua were unlike any other researchers Mebius had ever met.

The two of them are like formulaic machines. As long as you tell them the requirements, they can quickly produce results, but the results are impossible to replicate and the process is outrageous.

It's like I think this way will work, so this way will be fine. If others repeat their approach, they will not be able to achieve the same effect.

Xia also spoke some logic. At least when Möbius asked him about the principles, Xia was able to explain them. Although what he said was different from what she knew, at least the logic was self-consistent.

But Hua is really the result of my thinking, just like a little dragon-man of the cat family. I don’t know the principle, and Hua himself doesn’t know how he did it, but he can do it.

Maybe this is what they call cultivation. It is impossible for people without talent and fate to do it.

Chapter 144 How can Hua be so cute?

After eating the meal made by Hua, Xia put on his white coat and told Hua that he would be going to Atlantis City for an interview soon. Hua just helped Xia tidy up his clothes, feeling a little reluctant.

"When are you coming back."

"Let's go tomorrow. The flight is at nine this morning and we'll arrive in Atlantis at one. Rita will be with you. You should know who Rita is."

Hua nodded and walked Xia out. "I know the editor of your novel."

After all, Xia was extremely popular in the field of physical books a few months ago. Hua had a good impression of Xia and naturally looked up Xia's novels online and knew who Xia's editor was.

"I didn't expect she was still alive. At first I thought she was dead. Only after contacting her yesterday did I find out that she had left Changkong City before the Honkai outbreak. She's really lucky."

Xia: "Don't get too tired at the institute. Blanca arrived a little late today, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of Gretchen by yourself for a while. If you don't know how to play with children, use this."

Xia gave the formation plate to Hua.

Hua was a little surprised. "This should be a formation disk related to illusion. Do you want her to sleep for a whole day?"

Although it is indeed easy to take care of a child by using magic to make a formation disk to give the child a good dream, it is not good for the child to sleep during the day and not be able to sleep at night. After all, that is Ms. Blanca's child.

Xia smiled and said, "What are you thinking? This is indeed an illusion, but it's not the kind that makes people sleep. I've stored some Honkai energy and mental power in it."

Hua followed Xia all the way and got in the car.

Xia: "Yesterday I taught Gray some things about painting with mental energy, but she probably can't draw with her current mental energy, so I made a formation disk. There's not much mental energy and Honkai energy in it, about four levels. You should pay close attention to her when she uses it, and don't let her lose control and blow up the institute."

Hua: "I think I can take good care of Grace. It's better not to give her such a dangerous thing."

Xia: "Don't worry, I believe you. The spiritual power of a seventh-level venerable realm cultivator is in the First Research Institute. Even if Grace uses a formation to multiply its power several times, she can't hurt anyone inside. At most, she'll just put them to sleep. You can wake them up."

Xia: "The formation disk hasn't been bound yet. You can bind it to yourself. This should be enough for her to play with for a few days."

The driverless taxi sped towards the airport. Xia felt that it was a good thing that technology was so advanced. All kinds of basic work could be replaced by machines and AI. Although it was only weak AI, it could also be used by ordinary people in daily life.

Hua: "So, you may not come back tomorrow, right?"

The things in the formation disk can allow Gray Xiu to play for a few days, but Xia said he will be back tomorrow..., this is a bit strange.

Xia: "Okay, I'm glad you found me. I was planning to go to Atlantis City and visit Professor Einstein. After all, she and Professor Nobiu both live there, and Eden seems to be in Atlantis City too."

Xia took out his phone and looked at it. "Atlantis City University has invited me to give a lecture there. The fee is 5,000 Mu Yuan per class. I'll teach two classes a day for about three days, so I can make a few tens of thousands of Mu Yuan. I plan to see if I can help out at Einstein's research institute. I'll help Professor Einstein with a research project, have my name on her paper, and be named an honorary professor at Atlantis City University. That'll earn me 50,000 Mu Yuan a year."

Xia: "It's not much, but it's free after all. You haven't even practiced the jewelry I gave you, and I've refined my gold bricks into fine pieces and put them into my Myriad Souls Banner. Although Emperor-level and Judgment-level Honkai Beasts aren't as powerful as we imagined, it's always better to be stronger when cultivating immortals. I'll make more money and get you some gold, jade, and other things, whether you want to store them for collection or make them into tools."

Speaking of gold jewelry, Hua blushed and lowered her head. The jewelry Xia bought for her was indeed not made of refined gold. Now that Xia pointed it out, Hua felt embarrassed.

Xia: "Wealth, companions, Dharma, and land are all things that cultivators strive for throughout their lives. As for a companion, I already have you, so I don't lack anything in this world. You are very talented. Although a little slow, you are very patient in doing things, and you are also very talented in formations."

As long as Hua can hone his skills for a few years and lay a solid foundation in formations, he will be able to discuss this with Xia in the future. As a Taoist partner, Hua is definitely qualified for Xia as they are of the same level and have similar talents to himself.

It was even more qualified than Xia had imagined. After all, Xia had corrected the path. Xia could not understand the idealism of the righteous path. Now that he had Hua, he did not need to figure it out. Anyway, if there was any difficult problem, he could give it to Hua, and after a while, Hua would be able to understand the problem and produce results.

"So, as for the Dharma, we all have it with us. It's not much, but it's definitely enough for this world. As for the Earth, there aren't many places with super high Honkai energy content in modern times. Besides, we all use souls to advance, so even if we want to practice steadily in the future, we won't be able to do it. We can ignore it."
