"Invent the rat?" Angel subconsciously repeated the sentence after hearing this contradictory word.
Luigi also noticed Angel coming out of the cubicle. He thought Angel was asking what "inventing the rat" was, so he explained excitedly.
"The Invention Rat is a hamster that knows how to invent. Two years ago, I..."
As Luigi spoke, Pilu Xiu showed a disdainful expression and subconsciously wanted to refute Luigi.
However, before Pilu Xiu could speak, he heard Luigi say: "...I heard this rumor from Baba Regon two years ago. At that time, Baba Regon still scoffed and thought it was a rumor. How could it be possible? The hamster who knows how to invent; Sage Pika happened to be there at that time. He checked the thesis database and found that there was indeed a research report on an inventive mouse, as well as a picture of the inventive mouse... Yes, it was this one. Fat and with a pair of black bean eyes."
Pilu Xiu's mouth, which was about to be violent, was closed in a sullen manner. Although he didn't know whether what Luigi said was true or not, Baba Regon and Pika Sage were all big figures that he could not contact at all.
If you can't afford to offend, follow your heart.
Luigi continued: "Because Baba Legon was talking to Pika Sage about biological neurology at the time, and I was playing the piano nearby and didn't pay attention to their conversation, so I just saw this hamster. , I didn’t think of it for a moment, I just thought it looked familiar.”
Angel: "Are you not interested in listening to their conversation, or do you just don't understand?"
Luigi: "..." If you don't expose me, will you die?
Luigi rolled his eyes at Angel angrily and said, "Anyway, this hamster is exactly the same as the invented mouse in the research report that Sage Pika found. It must be right."
Angel had never paid attention to this hamster before, but now that Luigi said this, he looked over curiously.
Fei Dudu has milky white hair mixed with a few gray and yellow hairs. It looks a bit like... Jon.
It's not Jon himself, but Jon's avatar in the tree group before. After the avatar function was launched, the first avatar Jon changed was a "little hamster with a frightened face that accidentally entered the human world."
According to Jon, this is a very popular meme on Earth.
Although Jon later changed his avatar, Angel still remembered the picture.
And the breed of that hamster was called "golden bear" by Jon. The hamster in front of me looks very similar to the golden bear, except that it is fatter and has slimmer and longer hands.
Because the hamster was locked in the drum and cut off from the outside world, it could only see itself being observed by everyone. It had no idea what was going on, and its expression was slightly frightened.
If it raised its head instead of burying its head under its body, it would be more than 70% similar to Jon's previous avatar picture.
"You can't tell he's not very smart." Angel said after looking carefully, stroking his chin.
Luigi: "Its eyes are as small as grains of rice, and there are no colors. Can you still see wisdom from the grains of rice?"
Angel: "You are right, but if it is really the invention rat you mentioned, it shouldn't be reduced to pulling gears by labor?"...
Luigi thought about it and felt that it was the case. The fact that the news of the invention of the rat reached Baba Legon was enough to show that it was quite famous. There are even papers dedicated to studying this invented rat. It really shouldn't have ended up like this.
However, just from the appearance point of view, it does look very similar to that picture.
Luigi was a little puzzled, so he looked at Pilu Xiu who was huddled in the corner.
Luigi was stunned for a moment when he saw Boss Pilusi.
He remembered that Pilu Xiu was quite high-spirited before, waving his whip and urging the hamster to run; why was he squatting in the corner now?
Luigi walked up to Piluchio, stretched out his hand and picked up his collar.
"Huh? Ah!" Piluxiu had his back to everyone, but without noticing, he was lifted into the air. His hands and feet were waving, and he subconsciously shouted: "Let me go, you inferior races!"
"You are provoking the great Pilu Xiu, and you will be severely punished..."
Before he finished speaking, Pilusiu landed safely in the next second. He was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that the white-toothed man who claimed to be connected with Baba Regon and Sage Pika was standing in front of him.
"Hey, who do you think is an inferior race? What severe punishment will we receive? Tell me?" Luigi narrowed his eyes and approached Piluxiu.
Pilu Xiu shuddered and then remembered the cruel words he had left in the air.
Does this count as offending this white-toothed man?
Since you've offended me, there seems to be no need to be afraid... right?
He hesitated for a moment, and his eyes turned from hesitant to sinister... But in the end, his eyes shrank again, and he knelt down and lay on the ground: "I just talked nonsense, please forgive me for being rude."
He raised his head with tears in his eyes.
Angel looked at this familiar scene and rubbed his swollen temples. Are all Pilusi so unruly?
Luigi is quite receptive, probably because he is well-informed.
"Okay, get up quickly." Luigi frowned impatiently and muttered in a low voice: "How can you compare with Duoyi and Wax?"
Piluxiu, who was kneeling down, looked even more humble when he heard the names of Duoyi and Wabi. Pika Sage and Baba Legon were still too far away from him. He had spoken a few words about city defense teams like Duoyi and Wabi, but even so, his status was not as good as theirs.
And Luigi can even greet Duoyi and Wabi casually, so he is indeed a big shot that he can't afford to offend.
Sure enough, knowing the current affairs is the way to survive!
"Did you hear our conversation just now?" Luigi stood up and walked back to the hamster roller: "Tell me, is this hamster the rumored invention rat?"
Merchant Piluxiu stood up and patted the dust on his clothes: "It's not an invented mouse, it's just an ordinary hamster."
"Really? Did I remember it wrong?" Luigi frowned.
Pilusiu: "Dear guest, you remember correctly. Although it is not an invented mouse, it is still somewhat related to that invented mouse."
Pilusiu told the origin of this hamster succinctly.
It is not the rumored invention rat, but it is the descendant of that invention rat. …
Speaking of which, it is related to the paper on the invention of rats that Luigi mentioned before. In order to fully understand why this hamster is so smart, its owner began research. Among them, it naturally also includes the study of parental descendants.
The invention rat was a female rat and gave birth to many offspring during the research process.
Most of the descendants, even the descendants of the next generation, are very smart and can also learn Pilusiu and Common Language. Although their current performance is not as amazing as that of the Invented Rat, it is still very good.
But there are also some very stupid descendants, and these descendants are basically abandoned or sold.
And this young rat is the descendant of the invention rat, and it is a stupid kind. It can neither speak nor have the motivation to learn. It only hides food every day when it is lazy.
In the end, it changed hands many times, from the inner city to the outer city, and finally fell into the hands of the Pilusiu merchant.
When he said this, Merchant Piluxiu looked frustrated, crying that he had been deceived by a damn liar.
He originally thought he was buying a smart descendant of the invention rat, but who knew that this young rat was just a lazy rat? He couldn't sell it even if he wanted to resell it. Even if he wanted to let it run on the roller, he could only rely on a whip to whip it.
He lost a lot of crystal for this.
"How much is a large sum?" Luigi asked curiously.
Piluxiu hesitated for a moment: "Two condensed crystals."
Luigi sneered, not bothering to reply. Cheap ones are not necessarily bad, but in this case, there must be something fishy about the cheap ones.
You know that Inventor Rats are very popular in the inner city, but you only use two crystals to buy an Inventor Rat. Are you sure you are not looking for problems in yourself?
Merchant Piluxiu obviously didn't understand the meaning of Luigi's sneer, and even said innocently: "If the customer likes this hamster, I can sell it to you at a half discount. As long as you have one crystal, it will be yours. One crystal It’s definitely not a loss…”
Pilu Xiu, a businessman, cheered for a long time, but Luigi just said calmly: "Do you believe these words yourself?"
Ignoring the embarrassed expression of Merchant Pilusi, Luigi turned to look at Angel: "I thought I met an invention rat, but I didn't expect it was a fake. By the way, how was your discussion over there?"
Angel: "It's already been negotiated."
No need for Angeldo to explain, Luigi had already received the synchronized information from Laplace.
He only needs to take one person out of the Mirror Realm, and he can get a batch of good products, and even his music scores are free of charge, so he is naturally very satisfied.
Taking people away is easy for them.
Luigi happily handed the music score to Angel. After Angel took note of the music score, he had to go to Broyin for appraisal first, so it was more appropriate to hand the music score to Angel.
While handing over the music score, Luigi noticed that Angel's eyes were still lingering on the hamster in the drum.
"Why, are you interested in this hamster?" In the same words, it was Angel asking Luigi before, but this time it was Luigi asking Angel.
Angel: "I'm a little interested in the invented mouse, but I'm not interested in the lazy hamster."
"Then you're still staring at it?" Luigi asked doubtfully.
Angel did not answer, but turned to look at the Pilusi merchant next to him: "Can you open the roller cover and let me get up close to this hamster?"...
Merchant Piluxiu was still disappointed that he failed to sell hamsters. When he heard Angel's words, his eyes instantly lit up: "Of course!"
Merchant Pilusi quickly opened the drum cover.
When the lid was opened, the hamster inside immediately collapsed on the drum, breathing heavily and looking exhausted.
"Guests, please feel free to look."
Angel reached out his hand and stroked the hamster in the roller.
Hmm...it feels good, like soft jelly.
However, the hamster's emotions are completely blank in super-sensory perception. Using magical perception, one can only detect the hamster's coveting of food and beautiful mice from its weak consciousness.
Angel retracted his hand silently.
His original intention was to see if he could pick something up... There were a lot of waste materials in the hologram tablet. The brothers and sisters were all geniuses, but the ones who could really rise were the ones who stood alone.
Being lazy about making delicious food can be regarded as a maverick, right? Therefore, Angel had the attitude of giving it a try and wanted to see if this was a hidden genius rat.
The facts told him, no.
This is a real loser rat.
His leak-picking plan failed miserably, and Luigi on the side asked curiously: "Is there anything special about this hamster?"
Angel didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile mysteriously at Luigi.
Then withdrew his hand.
"Does the guest want it? Just two condensed crystals." Merchant Piluxiu saw Angel's smile and thought that Angel was interested in the hamster, so he immediately raised the price.
Angel: "Thank you, no need for now."
Angel deliberately used the word "temporary" mainly to show that he still had a "follow-up" and not to make himself look stupid.
But in fact, Angel would not buy the hamster at all.
He winked at Luigi and prepared to bid farewell to this Piluxiu store.
After Angel and others left, the human who called himself a parrot put on a hood and chased them out.
"Guest, are you interested in that hamster?" the parrot caught up and asked.
Angel smiled: "What? Do you have anything to say?"
The parrot looked back at Piluxiu's shop to confirm that the Piluxiu merchant had not come out. Then he leaned closer and whispered: "I came to Crystal City with the Piluxiu caravan. I saw several Piluxiu merchants. The merchant has brought many similar hamsters. If the customer is not satisfied with the hamster just now, he can go to other Pilusi merchants to have a look."
The parrot chased him out just to say this.
He also knew that the hamster just now was too useless, but he saw many good hamsters from other Pilusi merchants, so he came here to remind Angel.
Angel nodded to the parrot and expressed his gratitude.
They talked about leaving again, and asked Parrot if he wanted to leave with them, so that he could take him with him when he left Crystal City.
However, the parrot thought for a while and refused.
The party will continue for a while, and he also plans to buy some specialties at this party and resell them later in the Southern Region to use as start-up capital.
So, he also needs some time.
And with the contract in place, he wasn't worried about Angel and others going back on their word.
After saying goodbye to each other, Angel and others left the nearby streets.
When there were fewer people around, Luigi couldn't help it and asked again: "You haven't answered me yet, does that hamster have any secrets?"
Angel shrugged: "Whether there is a secret or not, it's hard to say. If you're really curious, why not buy that hamster and explore it yourself."
Luigi looked at Angel suspiciously, but in the end he didn't go back and buy a hamster, even though the hamster only had one crystal.
