68: Learn to make a telescope

"Brother Xu, we're here."

Zhao Zixuan said, happily skipping into the small shop.

"Good afternoon, Brother Xu." "Hello, Brother Xu."

Fang Mu and Li Baoyu's voices rang out immediately after.

It was another sunny afternoon, and the three of them had come from the academy to learn from Xu Bai again.

Xu Bai looked up and waved at them.

"Brother Xu, what's that on your table?" The sharp-eyed Zhao Zixuan noticed the Telescope Xu Bai had placed on his table.

"This is a Binocular Telescope, it's the item we're entering into the competition."

"Binocular Telescope!" "Binocular Telescope!" "Binocular Telescope!"

Zhao Zixuan and the other two exclaimed in surprise.

"Can I see?" "Can I see?" "Can I see?"

The three of them were truly good brothers; they said the exact same thing, copy + paste.

"You can, but there's one thing to note: don't use it to look at the sun, and it's best not to look at anything too bright, otherwise, your eyes will be damaged. I'm not exaggerating; you must remember this. As for how to use it, I'll teach you."

Saying that, Xu Bai briefly demonstrated how to use the Telescope.

"Okay." "Okay." "Okay."

Another trio chorus, the three of them picked up the Telescopes Xu Bai handed them and began to play with and observe through them.

"Oh, how amazing, I can really see distant things."

"Wow, it's so clear, I can even see ants on the ground, they're carrying a breadcrumb! Awesome."

"Hmm, it's very clear and far. With this, we can detect mutated beasts in advance, which can be provided to mercenaries or the army, making them much safer."

"Indeed, many people will be interested in this."

As they observed various things, exclamations of wonder came from their mouths.

Xu Bai stood by, a faint smile playing on his lips, watching the three of them with their surprised expressions as they observed with the Telescopes... "Brother Xu, are you teaching us to make this Binocular Telescope today?"

Zhao Zixuan looked at Xu Bai with anticipation.

"Binocular Telescope, does that mean there's a Monocular Telescope? Or a Trinocular Telescope?"

Li Baoyu voiced his question.

"Yes, today I'll teach you how to make a Telescope." Hearing Li Baoyu's question, Xu Bai searched around and pulled out the Monocular Telescope cards he had made earlier. "There is indeed a Monocular Telescope, you can take a look. As for a Trinocular Telescope, you can try to innovate."

"Brother Xu, it feels like you're doing all the work, and we're just enjoying your results. Why don't you just publish this cards yourself?"

Fang Mu felt a little embarrassed, and although it was a bit of a pity, he still offered this suggestion.

"It's fine, actually, I also want to use this competition to let more people know about this cards, so this is helping me. We both win."

Xu Bai smiled and continued. "Of course, even close brothers settle accounts clearly, so I'll tell you in advance that I need to sign a contract with you. You cannot leak the cards-making ideas to others."

"Okay. That's only right."

"No problem, you made all of this, we're just learning."

"Of course."

Zhao Zixuan, Fang Mu, and Li Baoyu all agreed to Xu Bai's request, took the confidentiality agreement Xu Bai had just taken out, read it to confirm there were no issues, and then signed their names.
