The calm shores of Octopus Lake were suddenly broken by the roar of engines.
Nine supercars roared past on the asphalt.
To ensure they had a blast, the Skyfire Army controlled all intersections, letting traffic through or blocking it according to instructions from the helicopter overhead.
Life in Australia was slow, and the people were happy to have an extra bit of fun, or topic of conversation, in their ordinary lives.
With Xi Tong around, Fang Er was very relieved.
Although his wives' driving skills weren't great, Xi Tong could directly hack into the car computers and control them on their behalf.
And all of this was done without anyone knowing.
Upon returning home, before he could enjoy his reunion with his concubine, he was drawn out by the commotion outside.
"What's going on, making so much noise?"
He walked to the main gate and casually asked the guard.
The guard bowed and replied, "Reporting to the master, I heard it's the female family members of Duke Anguo who are street racing."
Li Xiaogong: ???
Damn it, Fang Er didn't invite me to such fun!
He turned and shouted into the courtyard, "Mo'er, quickly, bring out the Wuling Zhi Guang you gave me!"
Ten minutes later, the crowd gathered by the roadside was surprised to find an anomaly in the racing pack!
Li Xiaogong sat in the passenger seat, watching his concubine awkwardly drive the Wuling Zhi Guang.
She was repeatedly overtaken by Chai Yue's Hongqi S9...
He took out his walkie-talkie, feeling depressed, and complained to Fang Er.
"Brother, that's not fair!"
"You didn't leave one of these fast cars for your elder brother?"
In the research institute, Fang Er was looking at reports when he heard Li Xiaogong's voice from the walkie-talkie. He shook his head helplessly.
Damn it, I don't have any myself, how can I leave one for you!
"Go play somewhere else! I'm busy at the research institute!"
Li Xiaogong felt ten thousand alpacas stampeding through him. He glanced at his concubine in the driver's seat, who was laughing so hard her legs were about to spread apart...
She was shaking the steering wheel left and right.
This scared him into a cold sweat, and he quickly shouted.
"Damn it! Brake! Brak.........."
"Plop....... "
In the end...
Ninth Master still crashed.
The Wuling plunged into Octopus Lake, attracting a group of crocodiles that began to swim over rapidly.
This commotion was likely the "two-legged monster" coming to deliver cow legs again.
If they were any slower, they wouldn't even get the scraps...
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth in hatred, unbuckled his concubine's seatbelt, grabbed her, and kicked open the rear tailgate, escaping in a sorry state.
"Screech..."
"Click..."
"Puff..."
Just as they landed, they saw the Wuling was already surrounded by crocodiles.
They were all opening their mouths, madly biting the car body...
"Damn it, to the research institute!"
"They must have made that car, Ninth Master is going to snatch a few back!"
He handed his concubine over to the approaching guards and, still in his wet clothes, stormed towards the research institute.
But when he arrived at the research institute and asked about Fang Er, he found that Fang Er had gone elsewhere.
Helplessly, he yanked Li Tai out of Research Lab Number Three.
"Here, who is the best at building cars?"
...
Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin Studio.
Fang Er had arrived ten minutes ago.
They had a new discovery here!
Leng Nuan, the tattoo artist, and Chong Lou sat opposite him, with a table full of pigments placed between them.
Leng Nuan held a stack of documents and explained each pigment.
"Pigment No. 69, when tattooed, can prevent pregnancy."
"Pigment No. 93 can stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone."
"Pigment No. 95 can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline."
"Pigment No. 128 can stimulate male hormones."
"Pigment No. 250 can reduce the secretion of thyroid hormones."
"..."
"The most impressive is this bottle of composite pigment!"
"It's a复配 (fùpèi - compound) of pigments 250, 38, and 2!"
"The new code is 290!"
"Tattooing with this pigment can speed up a person's thinking and also amplify the sixth sense!"
After listening to his explanation, Fang Er was completely dumbfounded.
"Are you two tattoo artists or pharmacologists???"
"What kind of mess are you making..."
Chong Lou got up to pour Fang Er a cup of tea, grinned, and sat back down to explain.
When the two of them first arrived, they were isolated and worked outside the research institute, with no understanding of what was happening inside.
In the initial days, not many people came for tattoos.
The first to arrive was Newton, who got an apple tattooed.
But in the afternoon, another Newton came, also asking for an apple tattoo!
The next day, another one came, and he still asked for an apple tattoo!
The two couldn't speak foreign languages, and at that time, the researchers' Chinese was also poor. With poor communication, these two started to misinterpret things.
Were the pigments problematic? Did they fade after tattooing?
Or was there something wrong with these people's physiques?
Their wounds healed incredibly fast, and they even absorbed the pigments along with them!
Li Tai offered very generous treatment, twenty thousand RMB or one tael of gold per tattoo.
With such temptation, any problems had to be resolved quickly.
So, the two sent a message to Li Tai, stating their requirements.
They wanted all plant juices that could be used for dyeing!
When these juices were delivered, the two began to experiment randomly.
Of course, they didn't dare to test directly on humans. They had people catch rabbits and experimented on the rabbits' ears.
During that period, the dead rabbits thrown out of the studio had to be transported by car!
Later, as more and more people came for tattoos, they gradually learned about the situation in the research institute.
They originally intended to stop tweaking pigments, but at this moment, they made their first discovery!
That was pigment No. 69!
That time, they tattooed ten male rabbits and ten female rabbits.
As a result, after the tattooing, the 20 rabbits partied for three days, but none of them became pregnant!
This was very miraculous!
So, the two directly changed their original intention and continued to mix pigments.
After all, being able to conduct experiments so regardless of cost, if the opportunity was missed, it would never be found again!
Not to mention anything else, the mountain of jars of plant juices piled up in the cold storage behind the studio couldn't be obtained with money alone!
A large portion of them were brought back from the deep mountains and old forests by mobilizing the Skyfire Army.
In later generations, these plants were almost extinct!
After listening to Chong Lou's account, Fang Er was greatly moved.
"Who has used pigment No. 290?"
Chong Lou quickly pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over.
"Flower Butterfly - Marie Curie!"
