I am doing evil in the collapsed world

Xia talked about the last three things, and finally talked about the most important thing, wealth.

"So, the only thing left is wealth. There are still many resources that we can use, even in modern times."

Glancing at Hua, Xia fiddled with his phone and sighed, "Actually, after I turned seven, I was planning to rob. Stealing is also fine, but I don't think you'd use something I stole. Plus, you might even think I'm wrong, which would affect our relationship."

Hua: “You wouldn’t do that.”

Hua said it very seriously, and Xia, carrying the Seven-fold Moral Golden Wheel, said that he had originally planned to grab resources, which was completely a joke.

But this joke was a bit too exaggerated, and Hua couldn't believe it at all.

Xia looked at Hua's expression, shrugged, and said, "I originally really planned to rob resources, such as the North American Treasury and the Shenzhou Jade Mountain."

Hua pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of disbelief.

Xia was helpless. "Okay, if you don't believe me, forget it. I don't think you'll let me go anyway. You might even become enemies with me because of something like this. You're different from me. You're too upright, too kind, and too righteous. Hua, your character will only put you at a disadvantage in society."

Hua just smiled and nodded. The way Xia said such words with a serious face under his moral golden wheel was really interesting to Hua.

The joke just now didn't make Hua laugh, but now Xia said this with a serious face, which made Hua laugh unconsciously from the bottom of his heart.

Xia: "Laugh, laugh! This is why I didn't teach you to seal your own strength and use substitution to refine your heart in the mortal world. I thought you could be deceived by the Fire Moth's leaders and become a fool, even though you are already stupid enough."

Hua: "You are the fool, Axia is the idiot."

Xia: "Oh, yes, yes, I'm so stupid."

What else could Xia say in the face of such words?

Xia: "We have long lifespans anyway. Living longer, making money can be considered a way to experience life."

Hua: "Thank you, Axia."

Hua's voice was soft and steady. Xia didn't understand why she was thanking him.

Hua: "Thank you for helping me remove the Seven Killings. I feel like my body has become much lighter."

Xia: "...So you are the idiot."

I slept with her, and she thanked me in return. In this case, I could cheat on her seven times in one night, and never do the same thing again.

Helping her is also helping myself.

After removing the Seven Killings, my luck has indeed improved a lot today. Yesterday she just asked me to do an interview, but today Rita actually contacted me and said that Atlantis University invited me to give lectures and be elected as an honorary professor. My luck suddenly got better.

Xia originally wanted to lie to Hua, saying that he would be back in a day, and then he would come back a few days later if there was anything else. Hua was so naive that she would definitely understand.

Of course, there is no purpose in doing this, I just think it will be easier for Hua to accept.

After all, the feeling of being on a business trip for several days and being on a business trip for one day and then having to stay a few more days due to unexpected matters are completely different.

The latter gave people a feeling that he didn't want to feel helpless, so he comforted Hua and bought some gold as a gift for Hua when he came back.

If Hua didn't have to cook for Mebius and the others at home, Xia would have wanted to take her there directly.

However, if Xia brings gold to Hua, she will hide it. Should he buy gold this time and melt it into refined gold and give it to Hua? That way, even if she wants to hide it, she won't be able to.

It would be best if it could be melted into the greatsword right in front of you and you could never get it out again.

Hua: "Do you still have money?"

Xia: "Huh?"

Hua: "You bought so many things yesterday, and I see you only have 1,800 Mu Yuan left in your card. Atlantis is the capital of Mu Continent, so the spending should be very high. I still have 3,566. I'll transfer 3,000 to you, and I'll keep the rest for buying groceries at the institute."

summer:"……"

Seeing Hua carefully counting the money on her fingers, Xia suddenly turned her face and kissed her fiercely. Hua's face flushed red as if she was stressed. "Yes, there are surveillance cameras."

There are surveillance cameras in driverless taxis, so it’s better not to kiss suddenly or anything like that outside.

"You said you are so cute."

Xia said with a complicated look in his eyes, "If you... forget it, you're already great now, no need to transfer money to me. I'm out here to make money, not to spend it. Mu Dalu Chinese Network will cover my accommodation and airfare. After the interview, Professor Einstein will cover my daily expenses. I won't go hungry."

Hua: "Well, how long will it take to come back?"

Xia: "I'd love to get back soon, but I calculated it would take about a week to ten days. I don't know what Professor Einstein is researching yet, and I'm not sure if I can help her get her name on the new paper."

Publishing a book and doing research are two different things. An author who writes a brief history of time may not necessarily come up with any new results in the research institute.

A person who often produces novel results in the research institute may not necessarily be able to write a book more influential than A Brief History of Time.

After all, Professor Einstein's books were only popular in the field of quantum physics, and her autobiography didn't sell many copies.

Professor Einstein was even clamoring last year that he was being targeted by the publishing industry, but the public really couldn't appreciate a book whose autobiography had Professor Einstein's signature written in the footnotes on every page, and which was also very expensive and had very boring content.

Only those who are really rich and admire Professor Einstein would buy her books, or those schools that have invited Professor Einstein as an honorary professor would buy some of her books and sell them to students at a loss as they are required exams this year.

So when Professor Einstein first saw that Xia's book was so well written and sold so many copies, she started advertising for Xia. After all, she really envied Xia, who published books and was liked by many people.

Hua: "Then I'll have to wait for you for about ten days."

Hua was a little disappointed.

Xia didn't look at her expression, because after seeing it, he couldn't help but want to kiss her and then agree to something he hadn't considered.

"It's possible it can be done in seven days. I can just come back as soon as possible."

Hua: "Okay then."

The car stopped at the airport, Xia and Hua got out, Hua hugged Xia's waist for a long time before letting go, "Wait for you to come back."

Xia: "I will bring you a gift."

Xia turned and walked into the airport without looking back. Hua watched Xia enter the corner of the airport and waited for a while before leaving.

I swiped the card of the researcher from the First Research Institute to enter the airport and board the plane, which was about to take off in ten minutes.

In fact, Xia didn't want to take a plane. It would be faster to fly directly to Atlantis City, which would only take a few minutes. Then he could set up a teleportation formation, so that whenever he wanted to go there in the future, he could get there with just a thought.

But the Mu Continent Literature Network had already booked the plane tickets. If she didn't do it, Rita would be the only one traveling alone. It would probably be embarrassing for the editor to fly alone from the Fire Moth headquarters to the capital of Mu Continent. So Xia just considered himself as accompanying the editor.

I sat down in my seat and Rita was already waiting next to me.

Rita the cute little cat waved hello.

Rita: "Good morning, have you eaten?"

Xia: "...I ate it. My boyfriend made these pancakes. They were amazing."

Xia responded with a thumbs up and raised an eyebrow.

Rita was deflated. "Getting married so soon? Aren't you more selective? Marriage is a big deal. I thought you were joking, but it turns out you really have a partner."

"Of course. I was planning to get the marriage certificate today. If you hadn't asked me to go to Atlantis for an interview, Hua and I would have already taken our wedding photos and got the marriage certificate in some small country in Africa."

Apply for a certificate online and have it sent by express delivery. Many small countries in Africa earn foreign exchange in this way.

Xia's pockets were full after exchanging JPY for Mu Yuan. Before, he felt that he had a lot of money when he saw tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of JPY, but after exchanging it for JPY, one Mu Yuan could be exchanged for more than 200 JPY, and the money suddenly became less. Moreover, the purchasing power was also different. The purchasing power of the currency of Mu Continent was even higher than that of the Far East.

Changkong City and Canghai City are two large coastal cities with docks. Their spending power is already outrageous compared to other places. But here in Mu Continent, although the Fire Moth Headquarters can be considered a large city, its purchasing power is even more outrageous than that of the Far East.

Xia Du doubted whether the fresh eggs in Atlantis would cost one Mu Yuan each.

Rita: "Are you short of money? You should have made a lot of money already, whether it's writing books or singing. Even if the copyrights are in the Fire Moth headquarters, they're enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Why are you still so obsessed with making money?"

Xia: "You can't make enough money, but you can spend it all. Don't worry if you laugh at me. I only have a little over a thousand Mu Yuan left in my card, and I'm still thinking about eating and drinking on public funds when I get to Atlantis."

Rita's mouth twitched. "One, more than a thousand Mu Yuan? Where's your money?"

Xia: "I bought gold."

Xia flashed his ID from the First Research Institute and said, "I'm a researcher after all. It's not too much to buy some gold for scientific research."

Melting it into pure gold can also be considered scientific research.

"Is the First Research Institute's funding so tight that researchers are forced to pay for their own research?"

Rita gasped.

Xia: "No, it's my own research. Oh, and Hua's too. It's for both of us. But Hua never used the gold jewelry and rings I gave her. She put them away. It's understandable that girls like shiny things."

Xia sighed, "I'm not alone now. When I was alone, it didn't matter how much I earned. One person's food fed the whole family. But now that I have Hua, I can't bear it if I don't make more money to upgrade Hua's equipment."

Rich people always don’t understand why poor people love money so much. They leave their fiancées and run to a city thousands of kilometers away for an interview or business trip just for two million.

But Rita was poor before, at least when her parents cut off her living expenses after she graduated from university and went to work at a publishing house for an internship.

"You're my first author, Axia. You have to do your best and write a good book next time. How about we write short stories?"

Xia shook his head in disdain. "I write short stories in the Far East because the publishing industry there is booming and there are many readers of physical books. I write long stories in Mu Continent because the subscription system in Mu Continent makes more money."

Xia shook his phone. "Technology is the primary productive force. Physical books are destined to be defeated by online novels. What defeats physical books is not the content of online novels, but the convenience of online novels."

145

Chapter 145 Who? I am a top scientist?

Rita: “…”

Rita didn't believe that Xia could write well. After all, novels and short stories are two different ways of writing. A novel would unconsciously start to become watered down, and in a short story, it would be easy to see if even a few dozen words were watered down. But if a novel had a little water in each chapter, a book could still have hundreds of thousands of words, whether it was watered down or not.

The number of words alone is enough to write several short stories.

Moreover, the audiences of online novels and physical literature often do not overlap.

Rita felt that Xia's physical literary works in the Far East were very well written, and it was already difficult for him to adapt to the Mu Continent Literature Network. He also switched from short stories to novels, so he estimated that the first book would fail.

But it doesn’t matter if it fails. Every author has failed. Even the most genius among geniuses may not satisfy the majority of people with every book after crossing over to other fields.

After all, I am Xia's editor, so I am able to help Xia fill in the gaps.

Rita: "Alas, you are my first author. Since I found you as my author, I don't like any other new authors. Axia, you have caused me a lot of trouble."

Xia: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Is it really that exaggerated? Xia knew that apart from A Brief History of Time, other books were only popular in the Far East. They should also sell well in China. In Western countries, apart from a few who liked them, not many people would think they were particularly good.

There are many modern books that are better than those I wrote, and many great authors are still alive.

Rita: "I'm talking about new authors. Which new author can soar to the sky like you? I became your editor and you spoiled me. Now you look down on all the new authors. I think you're the only author I'll ever have in my life."

Rita looked at the top of the plane with her mouth open, looking a little desperate.

Xia just wanted to reassure her that it was not as exaggerated as she said. There would be good authors and good books.

Rita: "The waters of Fire Moth are really deep. I kind of regret coming here. It feels like I've entered the system. I have to carefully analyze the leader's every move and expression. If I make a mistake, I'll be excluded from the small circle."

Rita wasn't complaining to Xia or wanting Xia to help her, but she felt that the world after growing up wasn't as simple as she had thought when she was in school.

Xia nodded, not understanding what the system Rita was talking about was like.

Xia: "Do you regret it?"

Rita: "How could I regret it? It's worth it just to get your contact information, not to mention that I can work in the same place as you."

Xia: "Your office is probably more than 20 kilometers away from where I live."

"It's only about 20 kilometers away. We can get there in no time with a taxi. The roads to the Fire Moth headquarters are well planned. I can still find you for dinner after get off work. We can have barbecue and drink beer at a snack stand like we did in Changkong City."

Rita felt a little nostalgic. "Ah, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have become the leader of the Fire Moth. The past month feels like several years."

Rita should have also signed a confidentiality agreement. Although she knew what happened in Changkong City, she could not tell the public.

Her publishing house is closed, and she has launched a restart plan in Mu Continent. If it weren't for Xia's novels, the restarted light novel publishing house might not be able to be established.

It's easy to get sleepy on a plane, and people have little desire to communicate. Rita leaned back on the seat, yawned, and slowly fell asleep.

Xia looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and felt a little bored sitting on the plane. He connected to the plane's wireless network, put on headphones, and started browsing the news about Atlantis.

If you want to go to Atlantis, you must always check the weather and customs there. Cities are really different from each other. It is unlikely to be the same even if you want to be more than a thousand kilometers apart on the same continent.

The scientists on Mu Continent are easily soluble in air and can die suddenly very easily. There are so many big guys who died while flying on airplanes. Atlantis is the center of Mu Continent, and many scientists have their homes there.

Some went to other cities for research and work, and some simply traveled with their families and disappeared while on the plane.

Those who study animal organisms are easily soluble in the air, those who study plants always get into car accidents, those who study marine biological systems always encounter accidental shipwrecks, and those who study physics are easily assassinated.

As a result, scientists from Mu Continent rarely travel far away. If they really have to travel far away, they either hide their tracks completely or ask Mu Continent to protect them in a high-profile manner.

As long as they don't want to embarrass the officials of Mu Continent and make the Mu Continent headquarters angry, they will naturally not assassinate those scientists.

It is precisely because so many people died that the academic cliques in Mu Continent are particularly united.

The plane flew rapidly towards the city of Atlantis. When it was almost halfway there, Xia suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to call upon God. The plane shook violently for a moment, and then quickly stabilized its flight.
