Liyue: Dijun wants to support me every day

Chapter 12 Blindness
three years ago.

Layer rock abyss, underground mine.

"Oh my god, this time we will definitely be able to write an academic report that will shock the entire Holy Order Academy!"

"Yeah, who would have thought that the silt in this underground mine has something in common with the dead zone.

This also means that the silt is related to the world tree, which is a major discovery! "

Two Xumi scholars gathered around the oval mud, looking excited.

Even if the smell of silt burns their lungs, their enthusiasm for silt cannot be quenched.

They are a couple, and they came here this time to inspect the topography of the rocky abyss.

But he didn't expect to accidentally fall down into the mine. Fortunately, someone rescued him, so there was no serious problem.

Misfortune and blessing depend on each other, they suffered a little injury, but they also got a huge harvest.

The person who rescued them had studied in the underground mine for a long time.

The couple had the honor to go with him, and under his leadership and protection, they collected information about the underground mine.

In getting along with him, the couple can feel that he, like them, has a fanatical pursuit of science.

Moreover, his profound knowledge is beyond the reach of the couple.

The man looked up at the third person present, "This is also thanks to you, thank you for being willing to provide us with such a novel idea."

The woman glanced at the man and agreed, "Well, thank you for giving us such a precious opportunity."

The man wearing the metal bird's beak mask stood opposite them and said with a chuckle, "You are welcome, you have a better chance of contacting the World Tree.

Such studies should be handed over to more suitable personnel.

My time is limited, if you still want to discuss academic knowledge with me, you can come here to find fools. "

Just as he sent the Xumi couple back to the ground and was about to turn around and leave, the couple stopped him.

"Knowledgeable scholar, can you tell us your name?"

"Oh, what's your name? That's all. Call me [Doctor]."

The couple took a sample of the mud in a glass bottle and brought it back to Xumi.

They did not report this matter to the Academy of Order, but searched for relevant information day and night and studied the mud samples.

What they have now is just an idea.

Before they have made their achievements, reporting this idea is just to provide direction for others.

There are many smart people in the Holy Order.

The couple cannot guarantee whether others will produce results faster than them after knowing this idea.

In that case, wouldn't you be making a wedding dress for someone else?
As for the time they were researching, did anyone else find the silt?
The couple didn't worry about it at all.

Because if nothing else, they were the first to discover the mud.

The underground mines of the Layer Rock Abyss have not yet been opened to the public, and they are definitely the first Sumeru scholars to reach below.

Besides, who else can be as lucky as them.

Falling into such a deep underground mine, I was able to meet someone as powerful as [Doctor] to rescue me.

The minds of the couple are still clear.

If it weren't for the doctor's guidance, they would not have thought that the pitch-black mud could be connected with the great World Tree.

...

Science has always stood on the shoulders of predecessors, tiptoeing to touch the unreachable sky.

How far you can get from that sky and how much you can achieve depends on how tall your predecessors are and how high your own IQ is.

Steady and steady, proceeding according to the planned road, many times you cannot reach the destination.

The tree of science requires geniuses.

The scholar couple stared at the purple liquid in the glass instrument, which was a solution of silt.

In another glass apparatus, there is a red liquid, which is a lysate of dead-zone tumors.

They tried to extract the same substance from both to explain the commonalities between the two.

But after 3 hours, there is still no change in the two glass instruments!

"Ah - failed again! Failed again!"

The man roared and swept the two glass instruments to the ground.

He is like a lost, hungry traveler in the desert, longing for the fruitful oasis ahead, but blocked by an invisible wall, unable to move forward.

"Husband..." The woman hugged the man who was on the verge of collapse.

"It's the 68th time! 68 times!"

"It's okay, it's okay, at least we ruled out another substance."

A long silence followed.

Both husband and wife are trying their best to restrain themselves.

Long-term experiments and long-term failures made their hearts more and more restless.

They knew early on that they were not geniuses.

But they still want to leave their names in Xumi's academic history.

After a while, the man regained his composure, "Yes, at least we ruled out another substance."

He and his wife looked at the table, where the last bottle of sludge was placed.

It's so fascinating, it's like an unopened Pandora's box.

The couple looked at each other with wry smiles, and together they disposed of the discarded medicines and started again.

"Mom and Dad."

"Mom and Dad, it's time to eat!"

They are immersed in the experiment, too selfless.

So much so that their young children stood beside them and called them countless times, but they couldn't hear them.

"Mom." Xiao Ou wagged his tail, pulled at the corner of his mother's clothes, and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

For him, it's like a different person since his parents came back from going out.

The two are in the laboratory every day, and they no longer play with him or tell him stories.

"Xiao Ou, go play by yourself, mom and dad are a bit busy now." The woman rubbed her bloodshot eyes, nudged Xiao Ou, and signaled him to go out.

"But... mom and dad, it's time to eat." Xiao Ou felt a little disappointed, but he could understand how hard mom and dad were.

"Understood, let's go." The woman pushed Xiaoou with greater strength.

She looked at Xiao Ou's bright blue eyes full of life, and felt irritable for no reason.

I really want to goug out his eyes.
The woman was frightened by the thought, and she shook her head to get the thought out of her mind.

Xiao Ou is her only child, how could she have such an idea?

"Okay." Xiao Ou said sleepily, even drooping his tail.

He reluctantly walked towards the door of the laboratory.

An unprovoked intuition made him stop when he passed a bottle of purple liquid.

He looked at the weird, surging purple, and felt chills in his heart.

puff--

In an instant, the purple liquid actually pushed off the cap of the glass bottle and flew into Xiao Ou's eyes.

"Well"

His eyeballs were covered with goo, and the flames burned like pain, making him shed tears involuntarily.

Yet tears do not wash away what is attached, and even make it stronger.

Cubs instinctively gravitate towards their closest human beings when they are in danger.

Xiao Ou covered his eyes and walked towards the couple gropingly, "Mom and Dad, my eyes hurt."

He touched his mother first, and his mother took away his hand covering his eyes, "Xiao Ou, what's wrong?"

However, when she saw the bottle of mud poured on the laboratory bench, she raised her hand uncontrollably.

Snapped--

Xiao Ou covered his scalding face in disbelief.

why?
Why does mom beat him?

"I've said it all, you get out, why don't you listen! Why is there such a disobedient child like you in the world?" The woman roared angrily.

She trembled.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

This is her child.

However, she couldn't control herself.

When she raised her hand again, the man stopped her, "Calm down, there is still a lot of mud in the mine!

We can still go to collect, and the [Doctor] is there too.

We can ask him for advice, yes, ask him for advice! "

The two hugged each other, trying their best to suppress the turbulent emotions.

But they didn't know why they were so broken.
