149: Are you lying to children?

"Materials: military shell

Quality: big red

Price: 1459184

Rating: Not as good as Ural"

The moment the military shell was placed on the table, Xiao Yun seemed to hear someone gasp.

"Xiao Yun, you still have such a big item!"

His junior sister was shocked, her eyes almost popping out of her sockets.

"This is a military shell, a high-grade big red material as rare as a blade server!"

"Xiao Yun, is your backpack a bag of holding? How can you pull out anything from it?"

The senior and junior brothers next to him were also shocked.

However, while they were surprised, they did not swarm over like before; instead, they took two steps back.

After all, this thing was not as safe as a blade server or a reinforced carbon fiber board.

If this were to explode, the entire villa would be razed to the ground!

Of course, given the stability of the military shell, ordinary bumps and knocks would not cause it to explode; it would only explode if a specialized launch device was used and the impact force reached a certain level.

However, even though the senior and junior brothers and sisters knew this, they still felt a faint sense of dread.

"Little friend Xiao Yun, I work on rocket materials, why are you showing me this shell?"

Seeing the military shell, Professor Ren frowned, not understanding his intention.

Professor Qian, who was next to him, was also a bit puzzled, waiting for Xiao Yun to speak.

"Old Man Ren, I have to tell you this quietly."

Facing this situation, Xiao Yun had already thought of a plan.

He quickly put his arm around Professor Ren, then led him to a corner of the living room, and whispered to him.

"Old Man Ren, think about it, although human technology has developed so much, our understanding of outer space is too limited!"

"Limited, very limited."

"Think about it, if there really are other civilizations in outer space, what if our rocket launches and encounters aliens?"

"I know, like in The Three-Body Problem, right! I've read it."

"Yes, yes, yes! You know the Dark Forest theory, right? Think about it, if we really encounter aliens, and our rocket has launched, wouldn't we be in trouble if we don't have any means of retaliation!"

"Alien civilizations are so powerful, there's no way!"

"So, if the shell I brought out from the restricted area is installed on the rocket you are researching, wouldn't we have a fighting chance if we encounter aliens?"

"Hiss, now that you mention it..."

Professor Ren immediately gasped.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun was also a little excited.

The rent was about to be in his hands!

"So Old Man Ren, this military shell..."

"Enough, do you think I'm a fool!"

Professor Ren suddenly slapped him on the head, almost knocking Xiao Yun to the ground.

"I am a scientific researcher after all, do you think all this stuff you made up can fool me?"

"I was wrong 555..."

Xiao Yun immediately looked sad.

How could Professor Ren change his expression so quickly! He could react like this?

He sighed helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't rent out any other big red items today.

Help me, save me...

"But seriously, the materials brought out from the restricted area are indeed very valuable for research."

At this moment, Professor Ren also smiled faintly.

"And you are also a young talent from the restricted area. Being able to bring out so many high-grade rare materials makes you a rare talent in Haibei City. And I also find you agreeable, so how about this, consider it as supporting your career."

As he spoke, Professor Ren also picked up his phone and made a call using WeChat.

"Hello, Xiao Ren, I plan to rent another military shell, use the same account as before, you can decide the amount of money, don't give too little!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone without allowing the other party to refuse.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun was secretly delighted.

He didn't expect him to actually rent it!

"Thank you, thank you."

"Hahaha, it's nothing. I happen to have a granddaughter, and you two seem to be about the same age and suitable. I'll introduce you then."

...Why do I feel like I'm being manipulated?

Xiao Yun's eyebrows immediately twitched, sensing something was wrong.

How could he rent out a big red item and then feel grateful to the other person? This... this wasn't right, was it?

"Alright, alright, I still have things to do at my research institute, I'm leaving first."

Old Man Ren patted Xiao Yun's shoulder, a faint smile on his face.

......

"Notification: Bank card number 114514...., transferred 3,600,000.00 yuan, balance 16,188,030.57 yuan, source: Haibei Academy of Sciences."

"Notification: Bank card number 114514...., transferred 1,500,000.00 yuan, balance 17,688,030.57 yuan, source: Haibei Academy of Sciences."

"What's going on?"

Xiao Qingtian suddenly sat up from his boss chair, looking at the sudden text messages on his phone.

The pure gold mechanical watch in his hand almost flew out.

At this moment, he was showing off the watch Xiao Yun gave him to a neighbor who came to buy something, but he didn't expect that a large sum of money had been deposited into Xiao Yun's bank account again!

"This Xiao Yun, when did he earn so much money!"

"And, why is he doing business with Dragon Country Academy of Sciences?"

Xiao Qingtian thought of all the possibilities in his mind, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Could it be... he brought out a big red item from the restricted area again!?"

......

On the other side.

Xiao Yun saw off the researchers from Haibei Academy of Sciences, and it was almost evening.

When they left, Professor Ren was quite relaxed, but Professor Qian and his group were reluctant to leave, sighing constantly and muttering about the Highly Classified Server.

It was clear that they deeply regretted not being able to rent the Highly Classified Server.

But there was no way around it; in this era, the situation of the Academy of Sciences was like this.

They not only had to consider projects but also control costs, doing not just scientific research but also management.

It was different from the past era when they didn't care about anything and focused solely on research.

After seeing them off, Liu Shihhan slowly walked in from the main gate.

"Where did you go just now? It doesn't take that long to touch up your makeup, does it?"

Xiao Yun asked, a bit puzzled.

"Hmph, do you need to know where I go?"

Liu Shihhan's lips curled slightly. At this moment, she had not only changed her makeup but also her clothes.

And coming in from the main entrance, it was clear she had been out.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."

Liu Shihhan smiled slightly, pulling Xiao Yun's arm and walking out.

Seeing her mysterious expression, Xiao Yun felt a bit strange.

The two got into the car and soon drove to the front of Haibei No. 1 High School.

It was dinner time, and groups of students were lingering at the school gate.

"Why are we at school?"

Xiao Yun asked, a bit puzzled.

"Come on, come on, you'll know if you follow me."

As she spoke.

Liu Shihhan also smiled and led Xiao Yun to a commercial street not far from the school.

There was a five-story bookstore here, so both students and parents often came here. From the perspective of a commercial street, it was at least one of the top three areas in all of Haibei City.

Liu Shihhan took Xiao Yun directly to a trendy internet cafe behind the bookstore.

This place was luxuriously decorated and had advanced equipment; Xiao Yun had been here before.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as they entered, the front desk immediately nodded and greeted them.

"Good afternoon, Boss, Boss Lady."

"Hmm?"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun was immediately surprised.

This Liu Shihhan... actually rented out the internet cafe across from the school?
