Chapter 141 Scientists who are not like scientists(1/2)

Gu Bo is a thin old man with a little gray hair, and his dark brown eyes are still full of energy.

He was wearing a black tweed top, holding a silver metal thermos in his hand, pointed to the opposite of the desk and said:

"Sit, sit."

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen nodded politely, pulled open the chair and sat down.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Bo's gray divine language had a little accent, which was completely different from the local dialect.

Based on this, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen judged that the local president of the Hunter Guild was the first or second generation of Tarnan townsmen and came from other areas.

"President Gu, we want to ask you some questions." Long Yuehong replied politely.

Gu Bo laughed:

“Isn’t this supposed to post a task first, and let me decide whether to accept it depending on the remuneration?

“The information or intelligence is valuable.”

"..." Long Yuehong was speechless for a moment, and could only secretly sigh that she is a veteran hunter and a local president, who loves everything.

Bai Chen responded calmly:

"You can listen to our questions first and then decide how much compensation you want, which doesn't require you to go through the guild."

Gu Bo unscrew the lid of the thermos cup and sucked the water:

"I am a man of old arms and legs, aren't you afraid that you will regret it and not be rewarded?

"At that time, don't be able to eat mutton and get fucked. If you can't get paid, you'll get beaten."

Seeing that Gu Bo was getting more outrageous when he talked, Long Yuehong suddenly missed Shang Jianyao a little.

At this time, he will definitely be able to bring the topic to the sky.

"Will a local 'chief hunter' be afraid of this?" Bai Chen looked at Gu Bo and asked back.

Long Yuehong asked about Gu Bo last night and knew that he was originally a "senior hunter". After becoming the president, he was awarded the honorary title of "chief hunter".

"A hero won't mention his courage back then." Gu Bo said self-deprecatingly, "A man, as soon as he gets older, his body will not be very smart."

It's a joke, he restrained his expression:

"Tell me, I'll decide what the problem is before I decide how to do it."

Long Yuehong took out a water-absorbing pen and a notebook the size of a palm, and asked while posing as he recorded the content:

"President Gu, do you still have to be the man Maximian?"

"Ah?" Gu Bo looked confused.

Long Yuehong quickly picked up the key points and gave tips:

"The person who offered a reward for "Mechanical Paradise" in the early days of the New Calendar."

Gu Bo fell into memories and said after a while:

"He, it's been decades since this happened. What do you ask him about?

"Do you have his clues, his descendants?"

You have a lot of association power... Long Yuehong whispered and explained briefly:

"We want to see the 'source brain', hoping to come up with something that is interesting to 'Mechanical Paradise'."

"Then you might as well accumulate metal minerals and make bulk transactions with 'Mechanical Paradise'. Maybe there is still some chance." Gu Bo felt that the young man's sudden whim was completely unrealistic. "This has been a matter of looking for Maximian for decades, and maybe everyone is dead."

"We are only responsible for this direction." Bai Chen's words blocked Gu Bo's advice.

Gu Bo unscrew the lid of the thermos cup again, took a nausea, and moistened his throat:

"Then I will just say it, and you don't need to pay it. I didn't find any clues at the beginning. This person must be no longer in the Chilar Mountains. Even if he is there, he is probably in the belly of a certain beast or a 'intentional person'."

"What kind of person is he? How did the reward announcement for "Mechanical Paradise" be written?" Long Yuehong asked further while recording Gu Bo's answer.

"What kind of person is he?" Gu Bo recalled, "There was a photo at that time, with some descriptions... This person is over 1.80 meters tall and very strong. His hair is golden, his eyes are light blue, his nose is big, and he looks OK, he said he has done genetic optimization..."

In some places, genetic improvement is also called gene optimization, and this is a technology that made breakthrough progress before the destruction of the old world. However, later, most human forces were interrupted, and only "Pangu" and "White Knights" continued to move forward on this road, improving and making it mature enough.

Long Yuehong was recording quickly, Gu Bo continued:

“I think he is better than scientists like a warrior, but the reward announcement for ‘Mechanical Paradise’ specifically emphasizes his identity.

"Apart from this, the announcement has nothing valuable. It only says that finding this person, "Mechanical Paradise" can meet one requirement for you, and does not involve any requirement for life and death of "Mechanical Paradise" and is capable of fulfilling it."

Give me a robot army, I want to save the whole world... Hearing any request, Long Yuehong couldn't help but simulate Shang Jianyao's ideas.

However, after he changed his mind, he felt that this idea was too ordinary and did not have enough sense of business experience.

At this time, Bai Chen asked:

"I just said I found this person, but I didn't mention why?"

"No." Gu Bo shook his head.

"Did you emphasize protecting certain things or tracking the whereabouts of certain information?" Bai Chen asked.

"No, I just said to try my best to ensure the goal is alive." Gu Bo still had some impression of this.

If he had these requirements, he would have changed the investigation direction at the beginning and would not have reached a dead end.

"Remember this." Bai Chen reminded Long Yuehong.

Based on her experience, this can be judged initially: the focus of the "Mechanical Paradise" reward for Maximian is the person, or what he has done, rather than the information of the items that may exist on him.

She and Long Yuehong asked a few more questions, but because after many years, Gu Bo couldn't remember it very clearly and could not provide more information.

After saying goodbye politely, he left the Hunter Guild, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked towards the direction of the "Furn Sect" and prepared to meet with Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to discuss what to do next.

While moving forward, Long Yuehong was a little surprised to find that there were still many street stalls on the roadside, and the bottom floors of the houses on both sides were closed and no one was running them.

He walked to a street stall with some curiosity and asked the stall owner:

"Why don't you need a shop on the street, where you are exposed to the sun and rain?"

Because he had been to Wild Grass City, he learned about the concept of street shops.

And he remembers that there is a piece of information provided by Redstone:

In Tarnan, ownerless houses can be owned by themselves, and they cannot apply for property rights from intelligent robots without long-term use.

The stall owner is a woman with rough skin, in her thirties, and her face is a little dark.

She said in a rather crappy, redstone-like dirt language:

"I have to repair and clean it up by myself. How could I have so many supplies to put in?

"Anyway, the robot is setting up a stall by the road or not. When it rains, I will hold a big umbrella and can also use electric lights for free."

At the end of the day, she pointed to the street light above her head.

Well, once you have occupied the store and apply for power supply, you need to pay a fee? Long Yuehong nodded with some clarity.

Because he asked the other party, he was embarrassed to turn his head and leave, squatted down, and looked at the stall owner's goods.

This includes books left over from the old world, the paper has turned yellow, and jade and diamond jewelry and scattered old world debris.

After thinking about it, Long Yuehong asked Bai Chen who was squatting down:

"If you want to give it to female elders, which one do you think is better to choose?"

"You, mom?" Bai Chen easily interpreted Long Yuehong's true meaning.

Because it would be strange that "you" and "mom" were connected together, she deliberately paused in the middle.

"Yes." This is not a shameful thing, Long Yuehong admitted it calmly.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian, who left the furnace church, saw his teammates here, and quickly moved closer and found a position to squat down.

After asking Long Yuehong's request, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"I can specifically approve some of your supplies to exchange for jewelry, and wait until you go back and deduct them from the contribution point."

Bai Chen pointed to a green jade bracelet and said:

“At your mother’s age, you might prefer this.

“Although it doesn’t look that good now, it will become more and more greasy after wearing it for a long time.

"I used to know a few female ruin hunters because they couldn't sell this thing, so I had to wear it myself. Later I found it was quite beautiful."

"Yes, yes, yes." The stall owner quickly agreed when he heard Bai Chen say this.

Jiang Baimian had no research on this aspect, and liked the bright diamonds more, so he did not give any comments and turned his attention to those books.

She found that Shang Jianyao had picked up a book and was reading it intently.

What are you looking at? Jiang Baimian buried her head curiously and aimed at the cover of the book in Shang Jianyao's hand.

Soon, the title of the book came into her eyes:

"Actor's Self-cultivation"

"..." Jiang Baimian wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
To be continued...
