To be honest, every time he went to a place like this, he particularly enjoyed the process of searching for treasures all over the ground.
In one word, it's cool.
How cool is it? Just like a person who likes money very much and suddenly falls into the bank's vault, the feeling of horizontal comparison is probably so strong.
Every time he goes on a business trip, whenever he has the chance, Yang Xiao will pick up a few fossils and take them home as souvenirs.
This is why he had so many stone specimens in his home before.
After the laboratory accident in Chongshan City, the madmen from the Dawn Organization packed up Yang Xiao's home and moved it into a shipping container.
The staff who were in charge of the work at that time almost doubted their lives when they saw so many specimens.
Now, this container is still idle in an independent island shipyard on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, forgotten for more than half a month.
"In comparison, human life is too short. So short that many people don't even have time to think about the meaning of life."
Zhao Qingfan got a little interested. As he got to know more, he found that this boy from the old Luo family had a calm and special temperament that was inconsistent with his age. When getting along with him, he always felt that the person in front of him was not a young man, but a young man. A gray-haired old man.
"So in your opinion, what is the meaning of life?"
There was an indescribable complexity in Yang Xiao's eyes. For this ultimate philosophical question of mankind, everyone actually has his or her own answer.
"What is the meaning of life? There is an answer at every stage and at different moments. Life may not be meaningful. For 99% of people, after three generations, time will erase all traces of a person's existence. The meaning of life Meaning is just the experience of living for just a few decades. That may be the whole meaning of life."
After replacing the unselected stones, Yang Xiao seemed to have been looking for his favorite one, but he couldn't find it.
"So, I will never worry about trivial things, let alone punish myself for other people's mistakes. Every day, I will taste the food with my heart, listen to the sounds around me, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and at the same time, I will also use my heart to taste the food. Take your own responsibility and feel every love and every joy and sorrow of the moment. I think this is the meaning of life."
At this moment, Zhao Qingfan's eyes were full of appreciation. Not everyone can jump out of the barriers of life and elevate their life to a higher realm. Most people can only be trapped in the world of mortals, fighting for fame, wealth and rights every day. Endless desire breeds more greed, anger and delusion, confusing the true wisdom.
"After your Uncle Song left, I have been hiding here for the past few days. I have thought a lot. Once upon a time, we were high-spirited, passionate, full of dreams, and full of expectations and hopes for the future. But time flies, and we are already half a hundred years old when we look back. , I do a lot of things, but I always feel that I am a bit uninterested. I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus to drink with me, but in the end it doesn’t feel like a boy’s trip. I just remember Song Tiange once said that in the green wheat fields of his hometown, there are small soil scattered here and there. Qiu, there are people living there, some have just been plowed over new soil, and some have been flattened by wind, rain and time. The land has been owned by eight hundred people for thousands of years. The fields are the masters and the people are the guests. One day, we can all meet again. Yes, the end of life is actually reunion."
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up and he replied with some regret: "From what you say, Uncle Song is very open-minded."
"Indeed, he thinks more openly about many things than I do. Among our three brothers, only Lao Luo has completed marriage and had children. Lao Song and I have been singles for our whole lives. After all, our lives are not perfect. However, after meeting you, I am I feel happy from the bottom of my heart, and I understand some truths better, maybe this is our fate."
Perhaps the ultimate meaning of life is the inheritance of blood from generation to generation.
Zhao Qingfan did not say this, but took out the wooden box from his backpack and handed it to Yang Xiao.
"Open."
When Yang Xiao heard this, he didn't think much about it.
After a few seconds, his breathing became a little rapid.
What was in the box was the blood amber for which Song Tiange paid the price with his life. The fist-sized organic gemstone is crystal clear, and after pre-treatment, it looks even more extraordinary.
Even a layman like Yang Xiao could identify that the stone in front of him was definitely a rare treasure.
With hundreds of millions of assets in hand, Yang Xiao doesn't care about the economic value of this big gem. What really concerned him was the mosquito-like insect in the center of the gemstone.
To be so perfectly preserved in amber is simply a miracle of nature. What kind of coincidence must it be to create such a beautiful accident?
After obtaining the superpower, he once imagined that if he obtained the bloodline genes of ancient creatures, it would be really unbelievable.
You know, the difference between transforming into a tiger and a Tyrannosaurus rex is not the slightest bit different.
However, those previous assumptions are now actually possible to come true. It must be said that everything is determined by fate.
If he hadn't made this trip, there was no way this windfall would have fallen into his hands. Maybe, amber will become a rich man's collection, put in a safe, and never see the light of day for hundreds of years.
No one will ever notice its true value.
"It's given to you as a meeting gift between me and Lao Song. That guy Lao Song has always been more generous than me. He always likes to make a fat person and give you rocks. He won't blame me."
Zhao Qingfan turned around and waved his hands coolly. He looked quite free and easy, but in fact he was still tangled in his heart.
He has been poor all his life, and now he has an opportunity to turn around with the help of this stone, but he is very repulsive and really sells it.
After all, his brother had lost his life for this broken stone.
At his age, he realizes more and more that there are always things more important than money.
"That's so embarrassing." Yang Xiao said politely, but did not delay in accepting the gift at all. After all, the body is extremely honest. He continued: "However, I dare not refuse the gift from my elders. I will give you this stone." Accept it. By the way, Uncle Zhao, didn't you say you have no children? Well, just finish the things here in two days and go home with me. I will provide for you in old age, and you can go and have sex with Lao Luo. Companion, so that you won’t be here every day to mourn the past and the autumn.”
Yang Xiao was unambiguous and made a promise directly. Anyway, raising an old man, with his financial strength, is completely stress-free.
Not to mention anything else, the value of this gem, if auctioned, could be enough to build ten nursing homes for Zhao Qingfan alone.
"We'll talk about it then." Lao Zhao's shoulders were twitching slightly, and he didn't know if he was thinking of something sad.
After getting the blood amber, Yang Xiao no longer cared about fossils.
Fossils, no matter how good they are, are just stones. The ancient biological remains in them, especially the genetic material, have lost their vitality over the long years and there is no way to extract them.
But the bugs in the blood amber most likely still retain the biological genetic information.
In other words, it is really possible for him to obtain the blood genes of ancient creatures with the help of it! However, Yang Xiao knew that if he wanted to do this, he would have to overcome many problems.
Even, strictly speaking, quite complicated.
On the one hand, Yang Xiao's current transformation with superpowers still has certain limitations.
For example, if he wants to become an animal, that is a comprehensive assimilation of the underlying genes of the entire body. Every part of the body will move, truly transforming into this creature. No, the upper body becomes an eagle and the lower body becomes a snake.
On the other hand, Yang Xiao uses a human body as the main body, which is half-animal transformation, but he is able to achieve partial transformation. But this kind of transformation still requires a lot of time to practice. He is far from being able to switch seamlessly at will.
In comparison, half-animal transformation actually requires Yang Xiao's precise control of supernatural powers to be tested.
Another point that must be mentioned is that the environment, an extremely important factor, also restricted Yang Xiao from recklessly devouring the bloodline genes of ancient creatures.
Because the environment in which ancient creatures lived was completely different from today. If Yang Xiao transformed into a dinosaur, the oxygen content in the atmosphere now is far lower than that of the era it lived in. I am afraid that Yang Xiao would feel suffocated after completing the transformation. .
Just like fish in the deep sea, they cannot survive in the shallow sea.
It would be too frustrating to die for such a weird reason. If other people find out, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud.
However, there is no doubt that this gem is a supreme treasure for Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao was happy from the bottom of his heart to have received such an expensive gift from someone else. His promise to Zhao Qingfan was definitely not an empty talk.
Although there is no way to use it now, Yang Xiao has made up his mind. After the laboratory at home is set up, he will complete the basic research on blood amber as soon as possible.
Some crazy experimental plans have already taken shape in their heads. There is a saying that since being parasitized by monsters, his mind has been greatly liberated. Once the shackles of being a human being are broken, with the support of technology, he has no idea what heights he can climb.
Anyway, before dying, he will try his best. Only in this way can you live up to your expectations and live a new life.
Before, Yang Xiao originally planned to leave everything to the police to resolve.
The matter is not complicated, it is just a typical drama in which a rich man pays the murderer to kill someone and seize the treasure.
By analyzing the details and clues given by the tattooed man, it is enough to easily uncover the real culprit behind the scenes and punish him severely in accordance with the law.
But now, Yang Xiao decided to take action himself.
However, this involves the use of public security resources.
If it is called directly, it will definitely not work. As a basic resource of society, even if Yang Xiao is a B-level hunter, without legitimate reasons, not to mention the cooperation of the public security forces, even the most basic community police will not take advantage of him.
