Chapter 20 Vivian

"This..." Xu Yi couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that he was really careless.

Actually, it's no fault of Xu Yi. He didn't have a lot of contact with girls on Earth, and he usually stayed with cold machinery and data, so he was very slow in this regard.

Moreover, this little slave is too thin, and his development is not good at all, and he can't see the characteristics of a girl at all.

If there were no special circumstances, Xu Yi would have been misunderstood all the time.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Xu Yi's face, Steele suddenly laughed.

"Hey, Xu Yi, when I saw such a little girl in your house, I thought you had special hobbies like those nobles. Looking at it now, I misunderstood you. ."

Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

What is a special hobby? Even if he has that kind of thoughts, he wouldn't be tempted to think about such a child like bean sprouts, right?

"Don't talk about me, first talk about how you came to my house?" Xu Yi asked angrily. "How did you know I live here? Besides, if you think I'm a **, why do you stay here? And what does it mean to cook for me?"

"You have so many questions." Steele muttered. "Thanks to you, I have completely finished that piano model. I came to you to invite you out to dinner as a thank you, but I saw you fall asleep unexpectedly. Seeing how tired you are, I can't bear to wake you up. After thinking about it, I'll just cook you a meal. How is it? Seeing how messy you are here, no one has ever cooked for you, right? Are you thankful for me? "

Steele's pretty face is like a flower, and with this cute and cute smile, Xu Yi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh... I said, you want to invite me to dinner, but you use the materials I bought and the tools from my family. Isn't this too economical?"

"Che, I cook and cook by myself. This is a treatment that even grandpa can hardly enjoy, so be content with you." Steele snorted coldly and pointed to the room inside. "Go and call that little girl out to eat. Although she should not have eaten with us as a slave, I don't think you seem to regard her as a slave."

"Of course, there should be no slaves in this world." Xu Yi sighed, shook his head, and walked to the inner room.

Hearing Xu Yi's subconscious sigh, Steele was slightly startled, and the eyes that looked towards Xu Yi's back were full of brilliance.

"By the way, Xu Yi, besides wanting to invite you to dinner this time to express my thanks, there is one more thing to inform you by the way." During the meal, Steele suddenly said.

"Huh? What's the matter? Could it be because I have taken too many days off during this time, and the Great Magician Camilla is not satisfied, and decided to fire me?" Xu Yi asked indifferently.

"Go, who said they were going to fire you?" Steele stared, pointed at Xu Yi and said, "Tell you, grandpa is very optimistic about you, although you refused to be his apprentice, but he said that your magical talent Being tall enough, there are always some novel ideas, and staying in the magic tower might inspire him, why would he be willing to fire you."

"That's good. That's not to fire me. Is there anything you need to notify me?"

"Listen. Xu Yi, although I don't know why you don't care so much about improving your magical strength, I must tell you very seriously, since you are already a magician, then on Sainz Continent , the magician level is almost equal to everything you have." Steele's face became extremely correct, showing that what she said now was very solemn. "There are less than three months before the annual unified certification assessment of the Magician's Union. Grandpa, as a three-star great magician recognized by the Magician's Union, has three recommended places in his hand. He decided to give you one place to recommend. You go to participate in the qualification examination of the magician's union. Do you understand the meaning of this?"

Xu Yi shook his head very honestly: "I don't understand."

Stilton couldn't keep a serious expression at the time, and shouted angrily: "Stupid you! You don't understand this? If it is a candidate recommended by the great magician, the magician's union will appropriately relax when conducting the qualification assessment. Some standards. That is to say, as long as you have this recommended quota, it will be much easier for you to pass the qualification certification examination than ordinary magicians!"

"And then? Become a magician whose strength does not match his level?" Xu Yi asked back.

Steele was speechless for a while.

Because she suddenly discovered that Xu Yi's rhetorical question was in one sentence, making it impossible for her to refute.

Seeing Steele's speechless appearance, Xu Yi smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to Steele: "Give it to me."

"What's for you?" Steele asked dumbly.

"It's something that represents the recommended quota? It's not like I'll just go to the Magician's Guild and tell others that I was recommended by the Great Magician Camilla, and the people in the Magician's Guild will believe it, right?"

Steele asked in amazement, "Don't you want this recommendation?"

"Who said I didn't want it?"

"But you just said..."

"I said that, but I am also very clear about the meaning of this assessment." Xu Yi smiled. "I'm twenty-seven years old this year, and I'm not an idealistic child like you. How can you put conveniences without knowing how to use them? Besides, this also represents the great magician of Camilla... Well, and your kindness, if I refuse, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness?"

Steele stared blankly at Xu Yi for a while, then suddenly slapped the table vigorously, stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "You are the child!"

After all, he left without looking back.

Seeing Steele's disappearing back, Xu Yi smiled and shook his head.

"It seems that this sentence is a taboo for her. You can't easily say it in front of her in the future."

Turning around, he saw the little slave beside him staring blankly at him, at a loss as to what to do, Xu Yi smiled slightly, and said to her, "I'm sorry, I've been busy for so many days, and I don't have time to chat with you. How's it going? Are you still used to being here?"

The little slave shook his head at first, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he nodded vigorously.

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "You... can't you talk?"

The little slave nodded.

"What does that mean? To speak or not?"

The little slave opened his mouth slowly, and it took a while to spit out a few syllables: "Can... can speak... words..."

Judging from her slightly hoarse voice and Ai Ai's pronunciation, it seemed that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so she seemed very unskilled to speak now.

Xu Yi thought for a while, then poured a spoonful of broth into her bowl.

"You don't have to be so afraid with me. Although I bought you back, I won't treat you as a slave or beat you. You can rest assured."

The little slave glanced at the broth in the bowl and nodded lightly.

"I...I know...know, you...are...a good person."

"Ha, I was issued a good person card." Xu Yi chuckled lightly. "By the way, what's your name? I haven't asked yet."

"Vi... Vivian..."

"Vivian? It's a good name." Xu Yi praised, seeing a look of pain on the little slave's face, knowing that the name might trigger some painful memories for her, so he shook his head and didn't ask any more questions. .

He knew that this little slave's previous life must have been very difficult, causing her psychological shadow to be very serious. If you want to resolve it, you need to work hard for a long time, not in a hurry.

After eating, the little slave took the initiative to clean up the dishes, Xu Yi thought about it, but did not stop her from doing so.

Now let her do something, but it is actually easier for her to integrate into the new life, which is actually a good thing for her.

After doing a few exercises as usual, Xu Yi returned to the workplace.

The magic head machine and magic tooth rolling machine have been successfully developed, which means that the second version of the variable speed magic fan is about to be officially put into mass production. Before that, Xu Yi still has a lot of problems to solve.

Although it is only three words more variable speed than the first version of the magic fan, the changes to the magic array and the overall design of the fan involved are very complex, and many data need to be recalculated.

However, there are many things involved in this that he can't do with fake hands at all, because at present, he is the only one who is proficient in the knowledge of magic circle and mechanical industry at the same time, and he is the only one who can perfectly combine the two.

"Talents are rare." Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking about the huge number of problems that needed to be solved.

If the world can have as many people with higher education and complete knowledge system as there are on earth, his work will definitely not be so hard.

But on the other hand, if Sainz Continent had so many related talents on Earth, Xu Yi would definitely not be able to earn a lot of money just by relying on a low-tech magic fan.

"As the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paw."

Xu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to regain his spirits and start his research when a tray suddenly stretched out from the side.

Looking at the steaming cup of strong tea on the tray, Xu Yi smiled and said, "Vivian, don't worry about me, go to sleep by yourself."

Vivian put the teacup by Xu Yi's hand, lowered her head and lowered her hands, and said softly, "Serve... serve the master, yes... it's my duty."

Xu Yi smiled, and was too lazy to continue to persuade her, so he turned his head and continued to work.

At first, Vivian bowed her head and stood beside Xu Yi cautiously, but after a while, she raised her head to look at Xu Yi, who was focusing on her work, with a curious expression on her face.

This new master really treats himself much better than the previous master.

Just why does he work so hard?
