At the San Jose Airport, the old man no longer wore that weird-looking Tang suit.
At this moment, he was dressed like a tourist. Not long after he got off the plane, he was carrying a small suitcase. A magical creature was carved on the gold-plated handle of the suitcase. It obviously had a snake-like body, but it also had Three heads of lion, bull and human.
He walked out of the airport gate and stopped a taxi with his hand, "Excuse me, please take me to the Westin Hotel in Palo Alto."
After saying that, he closed the car door, took out a travel brochure from his pocket, and flipped through it.
"Okay, sir." The driver, a black man, looked at the old man in the rearview mirror.
"Oh, by the way, I want to listen to hip hop on the way. You like hip hop too, don't you?" The old man put the suitcase next to him.
"I'm afraid I can't make the decision. You know, it depends on what's on the radio."
"Tsk, tsk, is this how your boss asks you to entertain guests? You can't even satisfy such a small request." The old man said leisurely.
The black driver's expression changed upon hearing this, "What do you mean?"
"Don't waste time. Trust me, kid. No one in this world has more time than me. You don't want to waste it with me like this." The old man opened a box of chewing gum and poured it into his mouth in one breath. Ten pills.
The black driver was silent for a moment and finally started the car.
"Good boy, you can play some hip hop for me now."
The black driver took out an iPod from his pocket and handed it to the old man behind him along with the headphone cord. "There are Nicki MinaJ, Post Malone and Jay-Z in it."
"Oh, Nicki MinaJ, my favorite, awesome! You have to admit, the development of technology has indeed made life more comfortable."
The old man put the earphones into his ears as he spoke.
Half an hour later, the car drove into Silicon Valley. This is not an administrative division. At first, it only referred to the Santa Clara Valley, and later gradually expanded to include Santa Clara County and San Mateo County in the southwest San Francisco Bay Area. area and parts of Alameda County in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area.
This is the high-tech industrial center of the United States, and can also be said to be the high-tech industrial center of the world. From here, a series of internationally renowned high-tech companies such as Apple, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Oracle have emerged. It is also a paradise that all geeks yearn for.
The taxi finally stopped at the door of a startup company. Compared with big companies such as Intel and Tesla, this company is negligibly small. Its main business is the development of online electronic photo albums, but there are only less than ten people in the entire company. .
The old man carried the box to the door of the office of the CTO, CEO and company boss. The next moment, the sensor door opened automatically.
"Cool." The old man praised and walked in.
The door closed automatically behind him, and at the same time the lights in the room were adjusted to the appropriate brightness. Only then did the old man realize that the floor under his feet turned out to be a huge display screen, but it was as soft as a carpet, and there were electronics on it when he stepped on it. Water ripples spread out in all directions.
When a mechanical dog saw a stranger coming in, it immediately straightened up from its nest and started barking. It wasn't until a circuit board was thrown in front of it that it lay back obediently, hugging the circuit board and enjoying itself. Licking it.
The man named Einstein that Zhang Heng saw in the copy is now sitting behind his desk. There is a model of Apollo 11 on his desk. The man stretched his hand forward and made A gesture of invitation.
The old man raised his eyebrows and walked to where he pointed.
The next moment, the wall in front of him folded up and turned into a sofa.
"Impressive." After the old man finished speaking, he sat down and deliberately used some force. As a result, his butt came into contact with the surface of the sofa made of unknown material. It was unusually soft and not as hard as the previous wall. "Here you go. It’s here that I feel like all my previous days have been wasted.”
A man named Einstein was watching a technology conference on video. He swiped the screen with his finger to mute the sound and said expressionlessly.
"What brings you here?"
"Of course you know the reason, otherwise you wouldn't have sent your men to block me at the airport gate, right?" The old man spit out the tasteless gum he was chewing on the ground, and the machine that was still licking the circuit board The dog immediately raised its ears alertly, glanced at the chewing gum on the ground with a pair of e-cigarette eyes, put down the circuit board and immediately rushed over, cleaning up the chewing gum stuck to the ground in less than five seconds, leaving no trace.
Then it returned to its kennel obediently.
The old man got ten more colorful chewing gums in his hand, "Why did you temporarily modify the number of people to clear the dungeon, reduce the number of places, and increase the difficulty of the dungeon for my people? You violated the rules of the game, didn't you?"
"You still have the nerve to accuse me, do you think I didn't notice the abnormal increase in his skills? Ordinary people can't do that level anyway. It is indeed your usual style. You and your little time Tricks, you don’t think you can really hide them from other people’s eyes, do you?”
"Well... Fortunately, I have always been popular, so I can only pray that everyone will turn a blind eye." The old man continued his diabetes development plan and ate all the chewing gum in his hand.
Einstein frowned, "What are you and your secret followers planning? I don't believe you would spend more than 80% of your power just to trick an agent. The price is too high even for you. You are different from those weak fools who are about to die. Although your strength has been weakening over the years, you are still far from reaching the dangerous cordon, right? Why do you choose to put all your efforts at this time? With my treatment of you Understand, if you invest so much, you must get more out of it.”
The old man shrugged, "I have told the truth a long time ago, but why are you always unwilling to believe it? I just want to win this game and gain a share of the new market. However, I want to rebuild the past glory and let my name be Back in the public eye again.”
Einstein said, "You don't really think that wearing those nondescript and funny clothes will allow you to integrate into a completely different civilization system."
"Why not give it a try? After all, KFC has launched the old Beijing chicken roll over there." The old man blinked, "Survival of the fittest, this is the motto you always talk about, isn't it, although I prefer Jordan You when Bruno was burned at the stake, but we can't go back to those good times, can we?"
"Be careful, Chronos, don't play with fire and burn yourself," Einstein warned.
"I'll try to take that advice to heart, Sains."
