Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 866 Crow
As for how to conduct research and where does the research funding come from, Chen Yan quickly felt the pressure brought about by these matters.

When he left Byron Weiss Zoo and called Klein the next morning to ask how to purchase the machine for [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization], the other party's answer was full of surprise:

"What do you want this kind of thing for? Do you want to engage in scientific research? But this level of scientific research cannot be realized in a short period of time. Failure to realize it means that your plan is completely ruined, and it also means that I spent a lot of favors and risked a lot of money." The unlimited loan that Big Risk begged for you has lapsed."

The implication is: Even if you can get an interest-free loan under the support of the policy, if you don't quickly convert your investment into profit and you can't repay the monthly interest, all your efforts will be in vain.

Chen Yan said:

"I want this machine that can complete [carbon-based silicon neutralization], just to sell omnic prostheses in the mechanical hive, and I have already found a surgeon who can perform omnic prosthetic grafting surgery, as long as the machine When it arrives, only publicity and sales remain.”

Klein reminded:

"There is also a license for the sale of omnic prosthetics. You can't even classify this behavior as a commercial behavior or a medical behavior. In this way, you need to use privileges."

Chen Yan had a cheeky face:

"I still have to ask you to help."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

"Favours will run out—I'm not saying that the favors between you and me will run out, because I want to support emerging industries to gain a foothold in the island chain, and your behavior is in line with my standards of action.

What I’m talking about is my favor to other people—the favor I paid for helping you get the interest-free loan, and the favor I consumed for helping you get the [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] machine.

Favors have a limit. If there is no feedback and supplement, as much as you use will be less, until the favors are exhausted, the relationship between people will not be the same as before, and many things that can be done cannot be done. "

After "warning" Chen Yan, Klein gave his own answer to this matter.

"I'll help with that, and the machine will be here this afternoon.

As for you—you must not only make a profit within a month, but also create an industrial chain that can compete with the same type of industry in the empire in the future.

So be it. "

Chen Yan hung up the phone, feeling a little stressed.

It's one thing to be friends, but another thing to do business. Klein has pressure he has to face, so he can't be sloppy when it comes to business.

Chen Yan is quite confident about what he needs to do.

He hung up the phone, whistled, called Swarm, and walked to the crow's medicine house in area B of the mechanical hive.

……

……

At this very moment, in area B of the mechanical hive, the medicine house of the crow.

Awei lay on the operating table, smelling the complex smell of bitter juice and incense floating in the air, staring at the alloy central air-conditioning vent on the ceiling, almost ignoring the pain that was happening on his right wrist.

The pain from the right wrist has decreased significantly compared to the previous few days. The crow is a responsible doctor. Whenever he can't bear the pain, the crow will find a way to anesthetize him or chat with him. lessen his pain.

Today is the last day of the entire course of treatment. At this moment, the crow is dismantling the last suture on his right wrist. Ah Wei feels pain, but the pain does not make him have any "real feeling" for his novice.

He couldn't feel his right hand anymore.

Even if he knows that there is a mechanical prosthetic hand that is almost exactly the same as the original right hand, and this prosthetic hand can move according to his own wishes, and there is almost no behavioral error.

But he still felt a sense of emptiness.

The moment he cut off his wrist left him with an unforgettable psychological shadow. He didn't expect the matter to develop to that point. He obviously gave the gang members enough benefits, and even promised dividends from now on in the contract , but why did that man confess himself?
It was only then that Ah Wei realized that sometimes people’s behavior cannot be controlled by reason. Maybe the gang members didn’t like his aggressive appearance, maybe the gang members didn’t want to make money at all, or maybe there were other reasons...

Ah Wei felt the slight pain from his right wrist.

Anyway, those things don't matter anymore.

The thread on the wrist was quickly removed, Crow put down the surgical scissors, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Okay, remember to take anti-inflammatory drugs on time when you go back, and you can't touch spicy and greasy food within a month. If you feel any discomfort, just call me directly. If you don't feel any discomfort, come back for a review in a month."

Ah Wei stiffly sat up from the operating table:
"Thank you sir."

Crow was used to the appearance of the patient after the operation, so he spoke a few words of comfort with ease, and prepared to send Ah Wei away.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the medicine house.

Wu Ya took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Chen Yan on the surveillance screen outside the door, so he opened the door with his mobile phone.

Chen Yan entered the crow's medicine house, and first said to Ah Wei in a concerned tone:

"How are you feeling?"

Ah Wei forced a smile and said:
"It's much better... just trouble the boss, and pay so much for me."

Chen Yan lightly punched Ah Wei's chest:
"Hey, don't say that. You made a mistake when you worked for me, and I have to settle it for you. If you feel guilty about it, I won't dare to use you in the future."

Ah Wei understood what Chen Yan meant, and squeezed out an even uglier smile.

Chen Yan patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a big brother tone:

"I put some money into your account. You go back and take a good rest for a few days. Don't work these days. There are important things to tell you in a few days."

"You go back first, Doctor Crow and I have something to discuss."

There was a little surprise on the crow's face, but he remained calm.

Awei was grateful in his heart, and the glib tongue in the past was completely useless at this time, so he just nodded, greeted the crow, and left the medicine house.

After Awei left, Chen Yan took out a cigarette and handed it to Wu Ya.

The crow looked at the cigarette holder in his hand and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the old D has been replaced by a big A, and it's still a platinum standard big A. Boss Chen is so rich!"

As he spoke, he took the cigarette, and Chen Yan lit it for him like last time, but the crow still didn't cover the fire with his hands.

Chen Yan squinted his eyes, and while puffing out clouds, he said:
"Are you interested in making big money with me?"

The crow was happy all of a sudden, and shook the cigarette in the innermost part, saying:

"Boss Chen is right. If I have the chance, I definitely want to give it a try. I start a business just to make money!"

He changed the subject, although the words were vague, but the meaning in the words was not vague at all:

"But I don't know anything other than seeing a doctor, and I don't have an apprentice, so I'm just a surgeon at best, and I can't bring much profit to Boss Chen."

When this sentence came out, a taste of hometown came to my face.

Chen Yan really knew that according to the unique apprenticeship system in his hometown, once the master master brought in a new apprentice, the apprentice would take the master's job.

Chen Yan knew that Chen Yan disdained it, so Chen Yan didn't think about it at all.

Chen Yan said with a smile:

"I don't know if Dr. Crow has ever heard a sentence - the industrialized assembly line is one of the best magic weapons to break the old system of the feudal era."

The crow shook the smoke:

"I'm afraid this is Boss Chen's famous saying."

Chen Yan smiled:
"I have a machine that can perform [carbon-based silicon neutralization], but I don't know how to use it, and I don't want to learn it, so I want to ask Dr. Crow to help me operate it."

The crow shook vigorously, and the cigarette dangling from its mouth suddenly fell out of shock:
"Ok?"

The feeling of hesitation and struggle in the air exploded in front of Chen Yan.

"Well...it's not impossible, although things on the industrial assembly line are worse than manual work, it's not impossible to use..."

Seeing that the crow was so hesitant and moved, Chen Yan took the initiative and continued:
"I started a company, and one of my main businesses is to customize omnic prosthetics for people. I already have a relatively complete technology, and now I need someone to help me optimize and customize specific solutions."

The crow frowned unconsciously when he heard this:
"You and I have only met twice, and you dare to show me such an important thing?"

Chen Yan said sincerely:
"I believe Dr. Crow is a trustworthy man."

The crow stared into Chen Yan's eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly cursed:
"Grass, you are a synesthete!"

Crow's face changed drastically. He obviously realized that Chen Yan had learned some of his past from this medicine house through synaesthesia. The expression on his face was almost angry, and he stretched out his hand to push Chen Yan out .

Chen Yan looked at the crow with sincere eyes, and said in a very firm tone:
"I didn't use synaesthesia on Doctor Crow, but I just learned about Doctor Crow's past from other places, so I think there is a possibility for us to cooperate."

The crow's chunky body froze in place, with a gloomy expression:

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about..."

The situation between the two was tense, and Chen Yan knew not to talk nonsense, so he only picked the key points and said:
"The high-purity Snake's Kiss Rock in Weber's hand was given to him by me."

So, if you want to continue to fight against the mysterious Chun, you'd better cooperate with me.

The crow clearly heard what he meant, because the crow's gaze changed from disgust to vigilance, and it stopped pushing.

Chen Yan was very satisfied with this, and continued to talk about another completely unrelated topic:

"The magpie of the Mechanic Society is now suffering from a serious omnipotent disease. I am very interested in him."

Chen Yan has never obtained any information about the relationship between the crow and the magpie. He only guessed from the code names of the two that there might be some kind of relationship between them.

To his surprise, he actually caught it.

There was "hatred" in the crow's eyes, and this hatred was accurately captured by the synaesthesia without concealing it.

"How much do you know about magpies?"

Chen Yan said half and half:
"He was just a partner of the Mechanics Association more than ten years ago, and gradually became a full member of the Mechanics Association, and even participated in important brain-computer-related projects... I have two friends who were brainwashed by him. "

The crow immediately said:

"Do you want to avenge your friend?"

caught.

Chen Yan said seriously:

"I don't even know where he is, how can I take revenge on him?"

Crow's eyes darkened.

Chen Yan turned to say:
"But if I get the chance, I'd like to ask him some questions."

The crow drooped its ugly head, as if thinking about something, and said in a low voice:
"Since you know about Magpie, you should know about Magpie's [pharmacy]."

Chen Yan had come into contact with some information about [Drugstore], he probably knew that [Drugstore] was engaged in limb grafting business, which involved some black products that are not tolerated by the world.

Other than that, he really doesn't know much about 【pharmacy】.

He answered truthfully:
"I know what [the pharmacy] does, and it's even almost regarded as the raw material for the pharmacy's business, but other than that, I don't know much."

The crow is very upset:

"Since you know what a [pharmacy] is, you should know how dangerous it is to contact a pharmacy. I have also met young people like you. Relying on your youth and ability, you want to do justice for the sky and want to eradicate it. [Drugstore] is such a giant, but you will always fail, not only will you fail, but you will also put yourself in it."

It seems that the crow has quite a lot of experience.

Chen Yan said:

"You are no longer a young man, but you are still robbing the [pharmacy] of business. Stealing people's money is like killing your parents. If you dare to open the door to do business blatantly, won't you be afraid of magpies coming to you?"

The implication is that Crow’s [Omnic Prosthetic Body] business is almost completely in opposition to Magpie’s [Pharmacy Store]’s grafting business, and Crow’s [Omnic Prosthetic Body] business is more acceptable to universal morality. Forming a scale, the grafting business of the magpie [drugstore] is a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Chen Yan continued:

"I'm afraid you don't know, there used to be a big gang called [Gunpowder Store] on Days Island, and they had business dealings with Magpie's [Pharmacy Store]. That is to say, Days Island has long been the business area of ​​[Pharmacy Store] By the way, you came late, and you are competing with the pharmacy for business."

Crow became very irritable because of Chen Yan's words. He didn't expect Chen Yan to know so much, and he didn't expect that Magpie's [pharmacy] had already come to Days Island. He suspected that Chen Yan was lying to him for a moment, but this kind of There is nothing to lie about, as long as you inquire about it in that circle, you can know the truth.

Chen Yan looked at the crow's appearance, and said while the iron was hot:

"Look, now I also want to do this business, and I have spent a lot of money and contacts to get the machine. Now you are cooperating with me. Let's report to the group to keep warm. At least there is a support, so that I won't be alone and helpless after being approached by the magpie. .”

These words were the most honest words Crow had ever heard from Chen Yan.

The crow asked:
"Who did you go to? Yanan City or the Northern Federation? There are not many people in Yanan City who have been in the academic circle of the imperial capital, and there are not many people who can get along with the academic school. There are only a few people..."

He immediately reported several names, but Chen Yan had never heard of them.

The crow saw that Chen Yan did not seem to be a fake, so he gave up the temptation, wandered around the medicine hut for a long time in despair, and finally replied:
"I want to sign a formal labor contract. I have five social insurances and one housing fund. I must be a formal worker!"
