When Ding Yun was explaining, Liu Yuan hadn't really paid attention. His focus was entirely on the two pieces of deformed gold remaining with his fingerprints.
He had squeezed those two pieces of gold just moments ago.
The two pieces of clay he had deformed and returned to his mother.
They were exactly the same.
Not only were the angles and size of the deformation the same, but even the fingerprint marks left on them after he had squeezed them.
Were the same.
This fact fully proved that these two pieces of gold were definitely not prepared by his mother beforehand. Even if they were prepared, it was impossible to predict how he would have squeezed the clay, right? Everything, like ironclad facts, proved that his mother had superpowers.
The legendary ability to turn stone into gold.
Considering this, and also recalling the story of turning stone into gold, Liu Yuan immediately asked:
"Mom, is there any problem with this ability of yours?
Are the gold you transform into, real or fake? I've seen many legends mention that turning stone into gold is fake, just a special kind of illusion.
There are also legends that specifically mention that gold transformed by turning stone into gold can only last for a few decades. After a few decades, it will turn back into stone.
If this gold is not real.
What a huge problem it would be to sell it."
Ding Yun had originally expected her son to be surprised first, then envious and jealous, but she hadn't expected his first reaction to be doubt, questioning whether the gold she transformed from stone was real or fake.
Whether it had an expiration date.
Was it a temporary transformation into gold,
Or permanent transformation into gold, and so on?
Regarding this, Ding Yun still believed in the golden finger, and she had also understood the principle of this golden finger. For them, material conversion was extremely easy.
After all, the technological level of the Origin Universe had long reached the Origin level. All things in the world were formed from the Origin. This golden finger was actually a special material converter that could transform other substances into gold elements and turn them into gold. The missing parts in the process would be supplemented by energy similar to the Origin power, such as mental power. Therefore, there was absolutely no problem.
"Don't worry, this is real gold. It's definitely not an illusion, nor is it a temporary change, but a permanent transformation. Each transformation requires me to consume some mental power, but it will recover after a good night's sleep.
It won't put any burden on my body.
During the first transformation, I had already conducted many experiments. I burned it with fire, and also had it appraised in professional places. There were absolutely no problems."
Since she had the confidence to confirm that the item was fine, Ding Yun immediately and naturally reassured her son.
Following this, Liu Yuan grumbled a few words about it being unscientific, saying that books said alchemy was fake. Ding Yun retorted that diamonds couldn't be manufactured artificially before, but now they could be. Starch couldn't be manufactured artificially before, but now it could be. The reason it couldn't be manufactured was simply that the technology hadn't reached that point.
When the technology reached a certain level.
Even creation would be theoretically possible.
Liu Yuan didn't have much confidence in his own knowledge level. After Ding Yun's explanation, he stopped dwelling on it and instead expressed his envy, saying how such a good thing, a windfall, hadn't happened to him.
It was truly enviable and hateful.
"Mom, your luck is too good! You're like the protagonist of a female-oriented novel, and a popular older protagonist at that."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, Mom, people have to accept getting old."
"And Mom, I don't want to strive anymore. Can you just let me be a decadent rich second generation relying on my parents!"
"Mom, Mom, don't go! Mom, don't take the gold away! Didn't you say this gold was for me to play with? You can't go back on your word, Mom, Mom, I was wrong, okay? I'll go back to work tomorrow and work hard!"
"Sigh, the difference in luck between people is really bigger than the difference between people and pigs. Wait, if I think about it this way, aren't I calling myself a pig?"
"Mom, wait for me, can I go to the basement again? I've never even dreamed of rolling in a mountain of gold. I want to try, okay? I want to try the feeling of a dragon rolling in a mountain of gold."
...
After his doubts were cleared, Liu Yuan immediately became excessively lively, not only expressing his exuberant envy and jealousy but also constantly coming up with all sorts of whimsical ideas.
He was extremely happy and active.
Although Ding Yun didn't agree to everything, she agreed to most of his requests. The next morning, she quickly sent him back to the company, urging him to learn and improve his skills, lest he have resources but lack the ability to seize them and be mocked for not being worthy.
This was what happened after Ding Yun and her son Liu Yuan moved into their new home. After she and Liu Yuan left the talent agency, the company erupted.
Company executives discussed the matter.
They pondered whether they had offended her and
How to deal with this young master.
As for the ordinary employees, their emotions naturally fluctuated even more drastically upon receiving this news. Some even stopped working and gossiped in private.
Crucially, no one was supervising them at this time.
After all, there was a new boss, and those who were truly in charge were very busy, some even worried if they could continue their jobs or if they would be laid off. This gave those who didn't care whether the boss changed.
An opportunity to slack off and gossip.
The liveliest place was around Sister Zhang, as she was the former agent of this young master. Everyone generally felt that even if she couldn't soar to the top, she would at least know the most. Whether they wanted to flatter her or hear gossip, they flocked to her.
They asked curiously in a babble.
"Enough, enough, don't all of you make so much noise. I don't know much more than you do. All you need to know is that Liu Yuan's identity is different now. While he can still be considered an artist, he is also the CEO's biological son.
The new boss said in the meeting today that he would inject five hundred million yuan into the company, with two hundred million specifically designated for her son. Those who had a good relationship with him before can secretly rejoice. Even a little bit from his fingertips is enough for you to live comfortably.
As for those who had a bad relationship with him, offended him.
Or bullied him.
Honestly, I don't know if that kid will hold a grudge, because I never paid much attention to him. Oh my god, why am I telling you all this? I don't even know if I can keep my job. Really.
All of you, disperse and let me have some peace!"
That's what she said, but in reality, not many people dispersed. They still gathered around her in small groups, whispering to each other and sighing.
Some people, because there was no ban from above, directly discussed it on their Moments and even on social platforms.
