For example, let’s compare raising a cat.

If Panan and Adecado are like kittens, we can treat them better from the beginning and offer better conditions and higher treatment than other bosses can offer.

In this way they not only

You won't be poached easily, and you can make them think about your good qualities.

But Zhucun is equivalent to an adult cat, and has become wary of other humans. If Zhucun is treated too well, not only will Zhucun not be grateful, but it will be counterproductive, and he will wonder if Su Xiao has another purpose.

So, the way it is now is the best.

It will not arouse Zhucun's vigilance, but it can also help Zhucun appropriately and let him remember his good deeds.

Su Xiao doesn't expect to get any return from Zhucun. If anything, it can be regarded as an investment.

It’s not a lot of money anyway, so if there’s no return, I won’t feel bad if it’s down the drain.

But if it pays off, it would be an unexpected surprise.

……

David Martinez is really not having a good life these days.

Before he passed out, he remembered that he and his mother were involved in a shootout and a car accident on a viaduct, and then he passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a private room at the trauma team's hospital headquarters.

His injuries were not serious, and with careful treatment, he was able to get out of bed and move around freely the same day he woke up.

But although his mother is out of danger, she cannot leave the hospital yet.

But what made David feel relieved was that at least the medical bills had been paid on his behalf, and they did not need to worry about what they considered to be an almost sky-high medical bill.

In the hospital, David, who stayed with his mother for a day, was hungry.

He wanted to buy something to eat in the hospital restaurant, but the price was ridiculously expensive and he simply couldn't afford it.

They had no choice but to use the SkyTrain Card, which still had some remaining balance, to take the SkyTrain back to their super skyscraper in Santo Domingo.

As a result, as soon as he returned downstairs and before taking the elevator up, he received a cold call from Arasaka Academy.

The other end of the phone told him that because his mother had promised to pay for the repair costs of the college's online education system.

But in the past few days, Arasaka College has not received a penny from them, so the college had to expel David from school in accordance with regulations.

David tried to argue, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't listen to his argument at all.

After informing David of Arasaka Academy's decision to expel him, he hung up the phone.

David didn't know how he got upstairs or how he got home.

At that time, all he could think about was how to explain to his mother.

Gloria was more concerned about David's studies than her own career. Especially the heart-to-heart talk between mother and son before the car accident made David understand her mother's good intentions.

However, if he told his mother now that he had been expelled from Arasaka Academy, all his hard work would be in vain.

David didn't know if his mother would accept it.

David, who was full of thoughts, didn't come back to his senses until he bumped into his door.

At first he didn't understand what was wrong.

It wasn't until he reached out to push the door open, but his door didn't move at all, that he calmed down a little.

It was only then that he noticed a message displayed on the door - "Entry denied, rent overdue."

David kicked the door angrily, and then he quickly had an idea.

Climb into your home through the ventilation duct.

While sitting on the sofa to rest, David had time to check his mother's things brought out from the hospital.

A coat from a medical center, and a prosthetic body like a spine wrapped in the coat.

David knew almost nothing about prosthetic bodies, but he was not stupid. It didn't matter if he didn't know, as long as he knew how to check and where to look.

David first took pictures of this prosthetic body that looked like a spine.

Then upload it to your computer, open a web search, and quickly get a lot of results.

David clicked on a few pictures and after looking at them, he knew the name of this prosthetic body, which was called "Sian Westan".

It is a type of military-grade prosthetic body and is generally prohibited from circulation in the market. If you want to purchase it through formal channels, you need to have a certain status, wealth and power.

Either you have to find a middleman, and it also depends on luck, because this thing is a high-end product among prosthetics, and it basically has a price but no market.

David identified it according to the method taught online.

But can't identify it.

He really couldn't tell which company produced this model.

However, knowing that this thing could fetch a high price made David feel much better.

He didn't dare to call the middleman because he didn't know the middleman at all.

Although David was not a genius, he still had some self-awareness.

He knew that he was just a student, and which of those middlemen had not seen the world and experienced the storms?

If he really made a deal with a middleman, he was afraid that he would be eaten to pieces.

Sitting in the dark living room because he had no money to pay the rent and the water and electricity were cut off, David covered his head and pondered for a long time.

After much thought, he finally thought of a possible trade partner.

He sent a photo of this "Sian Westan" to the prosthetic doctor who helped him do the pirated program for the Mewtwo Ring.

A few minutes later, the other party called.

"Doctor, have you seen the photo I sent? But I have to say first, I

I was really hurt by the version upgrade you gave me! "

"What kind of cruel method?"

"This thing of yours is useless at all. After I used it, I burned down the online education system of Arasaka Academy."

It is said that people's joys and sorrows are not the same, and this sentence is most suitable here.

After hearing that David had caused such a huge disaster, the doctor on the other end of the phone did not sympathize with David. Instead, he laughed so hard: "Pfft, hahahaha, is it true? Then you are a legend, kid."

"Don't talk to me about these useless things. Now I have to pay the college money, otherwise the college will expel me."

"Bah! So that's what you had in mind? Don't even think about it! I won't give you a penny!"

"Wait a minute, don't hang up the phone just yet. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the photo I sent you. Did you see it? Is this a military-grade prosthetic body?"

"Cough um."

"What did you say? Yes? Or no?"

The person on the other side said vaguely: "That's right."

"That's it."

If not, the other party will clearly say no.

Since I said "maybe", it means that this thing is indeed a military-grade prosthetic body.

David was delighted.

As long as this thing is real, as long as it can be sold, they will have money.

Although the college has expelled him, if he can make up the money and talk to the principal carefully, maybe the principal can be lenient.

Agree to let him go back to school.

David actually does not miss his days at Arasaka Academy, nor does he think that even if he graduates from the academy, he will be able to enter Arasaka Company and find a good job.

But this is Gloria's dream.

He has no dreams, but he can protect his mother's dreams.

He can work hard to do things he doesn't like for others, and even work hard to achieve them.

"Suppose I want to sell, how much do you think I can sell it for? Just a hypothetical."

In fact, what David wants to ask more is, "Can you help me sell it? I can give you a commission."

But he felt that it was not good to ask directly like this, so he changed to a tactful way.

As a result, the price quoted by the other party was completely unacceptable to him: "Five thousand euros."

David was so angry that he stood up.

"Impossible! The price will never be that low!"

Chapter 267 What would happen if a person could win 500 million (4K)

His grandma’s, five thousand euros?

Just replace it with a very ordinary prosthetic body, which will cost thousands of euros.

Not to mention such high-end goods.

Even though David was an inexperienced boy, he knew that this unknown model of "Sian Westan" would definitely not be as cheap as the prosthetist said.

He conservatively estimated that the price of this thing would be at least tens of thousands of euros, maybe even more.

After all, a good gun costs tens of thousands of euros these days, and a high-end prosthesis cannot be cheaper than a good gun.

(PS: In the animation, Heavy Hammer said that the Sianwestan installed by David is the basic type, which means that it is the basic model in the category of Sianwestan. And among all the prosthetics, the Sianwestan type of prosthetic body, Of course it can be considered a high-end product)

David's favorability towards the doctor instantly dropped to freezing point.

This quack doctor caused him to pay so much money to the college, not to mention that he still kept the price down so hard.

Fortunately, I was still in the academy and helped him promote a lot of Black Mewtwo, making this quack a fortune.

His grandma is really turning her back on her.

"David, if this thing of yours has a clean origin, of course it can be sold at a high price, but let me ask you, hey hey hey -"

"How can a poor kid who can't even afford the latest Mewtwo Ring and can only turn to me, a useless doctor, to help you create pirated programs, have a clean "Sian Westan" in his hands? "

David was speechless.
