Chapter 1260 Pipi
Chapter 1260 Pipi
Through Buyetian Huoxing's proud self-narration, Lin Yu learned that most of the alchemical creations of this identity, including business cards and identity cards, were not bought, but handmade by Buyetian Huoxing.
After all, John H. Arthur had not become a B-1-level supervisor recently, so his identity card, business card, and alchemical creations certainly could not have been newly purchased.
Therefore, Buyetian Huoxing not only has to make some counterfeits without purchase records, but also has to perform "aging" operations, making the alchemical creation in Lin Yu's hand look not brand new but 90% or 80% new.
This requires a very high level of alchemy from the maker, so choosing the Nevernight Fire Apricot is indeed a suitable choice.
On the one hand, for the head of the Buyetian family, her little daughter is definitely someone she can trust, and she also sees that the relationship between Buyetian Huoxing and herself is quite harmonious.
On the other hand... this challenging alchemy project can indeed serve as "homework" for Huo Xing of Buyetian, allowing this self-taught alchemy genius to receive systematic guidance from her mother that is years late, and to maximize her alchemy talent.
of course……
Huo Xing himself may not like this "efficient" lifestyle.
"Arthur, Arthur, you've really made me suffer. After you left last time, you made me change my appearance, borrow the name and identity of a minor noble from the side branch of the Buyetian family, and work illegally in the R&D department." Buyetian Huoxing frowned, her eyebrows knitted together, and she kicked the raccoon that was clinging to her legs away. "Oh my God, I don't have time to play now."
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing and shrugged. "At least your goal of not wanting to get married has been achieved, hasn't it? You've demonstrated your value. Now, to the Buyetian family, you're no longer just a tool for marriage, but a valuable alchemy master."
Nevernight Huo Xing sighed, "The problem is, the fact that I was sent to the marriage alliance hasn't disappeared, it's just been postponed. You can tell by looking at my outfit. My mother forced me to attend a boring cocktail party filled with idiots whose brains are controlled by their genitals."
"Life is often unhappy, Miss Huo Xing," Lin Yu picked up a raccoon and placed it on the table. "Besides, on the bright side, you've escaped now."
"I want to run even further. Hey, hey, hey, Arthur, can you take me out of this world? I've heard that you, the otherworldly travelers, have the ability to take people out of your own world," Nevernight Fire Apricot blinked. "I'm a super-genius alchemist who has mastered two advanced alchemy techniques. Would you consider taking me with you on your next journey?"
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing with interest: "Of course you can, but can you accept becoming my 'property', my dear Second Miss Buyetian?"
"Honestly, I don't think that situation would be much better than your current situation."
Huo Xing picked up the raccoon that Lin Yu had placed on the table and threw it back down: "That's true, it seems that you visitors from other worlds are not completely free either - really, it seems that complete freedom does not exist at all."
"Okay, let's not talk about these annoying topics anymore... Anyway, when you said you wanted to discuss business with me, was that just a complete lie and an excuse to get closer to me, or did you really mean it?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Although it is an excuse, it is not completely fabricated. After all, I plan to use Arthur's identity for a long time."
"Before coming to you, I had already met with President Paris and proposed a project to him - restarting the research and development and exploration of 'Fear'."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huoxing suddenly became excited, and her originally dull eyes flashed with excitement.
"Oh, it's fear—that's really interesting. You have to take me with you—is it convenient to take me with you?"
Buyetian Huoxing said this and moved closer to Lin Yu.
"If you agree to let me join you, I can treat you to some Pi Pi."
Lin Yu couldn't help but complain: "Since I'm telling you this, I must really want to cooperate with you, and you don't have to pay any extra benefits - but I really want to ask, what is Pipi?"
There are now eight raccoons in this private room, sniffing around and unpacking snacks to eat. Huo Xing picked up the fattest raccoon with extremely dark fur, which looked like a black plastic bag filled with water, and pointed at it and said.
"This is Pipi, my good friend of four years, and a very powerful raccoon."
"On Gray Third Street, I'm the boss of the humans, and Pippi is the boss of the raccoons."
Lin Yu's mouth twitched: "Why should I eat your good friend whom I have known for four years?"
"Because friends can also be a kind of food reserve. Otherwise, why do people like to bring friends with them when they go on outdoor adventures?" Huo Xing of Nevernight said as a matter of course. "I'm kind enough to have a conscience. I've made a lot of animal friends. This way, even if I run out of food, I can always save my human friends for last."
Lin Yu tried to understand Buyetian Huoxing's logic, but failed, so he simply took Pipi and put it back on the ground.
"Anyway, I don't need Pippi. I also need your support and joining me—I can't handle 'Fear' on my own."
Nevernight Fire Apricot grinned and said, "Even if I add you, I'm afraid it won't work. I don't know how you convinced Paris, but... I also understand 'fear'."
"That's a completely uncontrollable emotion that's incompatible with any technique in the entire spectrum of emotional alchemy. It's an extremely dangerous chaotic energy!"
"So, I'm really curious, what are your plans?"
Lin Yu looked at the Nevernight Fire Apricot, thought for a moment, and then said, "Although I agree to let you join, this doesn't mean I intend to tell you the full picture of my plan."
And after Lin Yu finished saying this...
As he expected, the crushing defeat was so intense that Huo Xing from Buyetian showed an expression of great curiosity.
"Now that you say that, I'm even more curious—if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have joined!"
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing and did not try to keep her.
"Then I'll have to seek help from someone else."
Now Buyetian Huoxing begged for mercy: "Oh, I was just kidding - although you said you didn't plan to tell me the whole story, doesn't that mean you can tell me? - Whatever you want from me, just tell me!"
"Don't be embarrassed—I can even give you my plump skin to eat. There's no need for you to hold it in front of me!"
Buyetian Huoxing said this, and Lin Yu nodded.
"Well, I also need you to help me investigate some things..."
"Not long ago, 'Forbolo'—I mean, the real 'Forbolo'—should have been active in the City That Never Sleeps with a companion."
"I need to know his whereabouts and trajectory."
