You Have a New Job (Continued)
The little girl, who looked like an elf, had a naturally cold and empty expression on her face, but her metallic silver tail hung limply on the ground, revealing her mood.
Tesla: "Pfft!"
Ninti turned around, staring at her expressionlessly, tears welling up silently in her eyes.
"Ahem! I mean, she's been too reckless. How could she give you medicine like that? Xiao Ninti, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with you? Wait until she wakes up, and I'll teach her a lesson!"
"I'm fine. But I didn't do what my mother asked me to do."
Ninti sniffed expressionlessly, and her delicately sculpted eyebrows and eyes inexplicably revealed a hint of grievance.
Oh my, this pitiful little thing, cold on the outside but soft on the inside, instantly broke through the two elderly people's psychological defenses.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's not your fault, it's all because Iserin is too cunning!"
"Yes, yes, and the last simulation was indeed crucial, and I should have kept an eye on it. I'll explain to Cocolia later, she won't blame you, don't feel guilty, Ninti."
The two of them have become masters at petting and grooming their baby.
Under the gentle caresses of Einstein and Tesla, and breathing in the subtle fragrance emanating from them, Ninti squinted her eyes and gradually revealed a smile.
"Really? Really?"
"Of course it's true! Don't be afraid, what's Cocolia? With our eloquence, she'll be easy prey!"
"Yeah, arguing, arguing is bad..."
"Of course we're not arguing! We're talking about reason!"
Tesla stroked Ninti's neck and chin, his heart softening like a pool of spring water.
My little Ninti is so adorable! Even at a time like this, she's still worried about us arguing.
So, Cocolia, you deserve to die! How could you have run into Ninti first?!
"Cough!"
Welt, still dripping with seawater, stood at the door and coughed lightly.
No one responded to him.
"Cough cough!"
The coughing sound became a little louder.
Tesla and Einstein glanced at the door with a puzzled look, then turned back to Ninti as if they hadn't seen anything, their smiles filled with the same warmth and doting affection.
Unfortunately, not a single penny was given to Welt Young.
Welt's lips twitched slightly. He went outside, found a corner, and sat down to silently dry his clothes.
He was at headquarters when he suddenly saw Ninti rush out and jump into the sea.
Even the Anti-Entropy Leader, who had seen it all, felt his heart skip a beat. Without thinking, he dove into the sea to chase after them, and now he understood what was going on. Welt breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Ninti was alright, it was good that she was alright... but why did he feel a little sour?
"Yes, it must be Otto's fault!"
Welt nodded with absolute certainty.
He couldn't bear to blame Ninti, nor could he bear to blame Einstein and Tesla, so he shifted the blame to the number one person on his blacklist. And surprisingly, it worked remarkably well; he quickly calmed down.
A magical blue light shone on the ground as Welt quietly waited for his two old partners to finish venting their maternal affection while drying clothes. During this time, a staff member came to report on the experiment's progress, and Welt, in his capacity as leader, praised them and promised rewards.
As the crowd dispersed with excited smiles, Einstein and Tesla emerged.
"Where is Xiao Ninti?"
Despite being sour just minutes before, Welt's first concern was for little Ninti's feelings.
Tesla spread his hands and replied casually:
"She's taking care of Iserin, saying it's a task given to her by Mother Cocolia... Pshaw! Cocolia is utterly heartless, she doesn't even spare a child like Ninti, I'll make her pay one day!"
"Dr. Tesla, I must remind you that most of the projects you have recently started have been funded by her."
"Ahem! I mean, I need to find some time to sit down with her and reason with her in a gentle and reasonable manner, like this."
Tesla forced a smile, then suddenly glared at Welt.
It's all your fault for drawing comics too slowly. Otherwise, would we have to resort to relying on outsiders for funding?
Welt, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, did not offer any explanation. He looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Wow, the moon is so bright!" Although he couldn't see the moon from the seabed.
Einstein shook his head and chuckled, ignoring Tesla's little tantrum, and couldn't help but yawn.
Everyone on the Abyss City project was working overtime, and she was naturally exhausted as well. The successful completion of the simulation experiment meant that the Eye of the Abyss could be officially activated at any time, and the successful completion of the preliminary work was truly gratifying.
Einstein found a place to sit down and then remembered that this project was also funded by Cocolia, and that this benefactor was very interested in it. So, fighting off his sleepiness, Einstein sent Cocolia an invitation message.
Einstein: [Are you there? Are you free? Want to come over?]
Cocolia: [Okay.]
