"Uh..."
Hearing that it would be handed over to the national, Bai Ge was stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, it was true. This was Danmu, and if it was the only one in the world, its value would be immeasurable.
In a sense, it was as precious as finding a fossil of a creature from hundreds of millions of years ago. How could it be bought or sold?
If this Danmu was genuine and unique, it would be a living fossil, and its significance in various aspects would be astonishing.
Before, he thought Luo Wendi suspected the natural origin of the Danmu, which was why Bai Ge said he picked it from Shennongjia. Although the records stated it was from Mount Mian, he had only been to Shennongjia, so he said it was from there.
He hadn't expected to misunderstand.
When Luo Wendi heard it was a natural variety, he became hesitant to buy it.
"Then forget it..."
Thinking this, Bai Ge decided not to sell it and take it back to study himself.
Just as he was about to reach out to take the flower, he saw Luo Wendi stop him with a smile.
"Hey, don't rush. Just because you say it's real, does that make it real?"
This flower's words were a bit like picking a fight, deliberately trying to lower the price.
But Bai Ge's mind raced, and he immediately understood what Luo Wendi meant.
If this flower wasn't taken to the research institute, it would be difficult for him to prove its natural origin.
Since that was the case, there was no need to prove it. Whether it was real or fake, Luo Wendi could buy it!
Luo Wendi could hand it over to the country himself, and then he could claim to be the first discoverer.
To put it bluntly, it was exchanging ten million for fame.
Even if it was later discovered to be artificially cultivated, it wouldn't matter. Luo Wendi could take it back to admire or give as a gift.
Its appearance alone had value.
No matter what, Luo Wendi wouldn't lose out.
Whether it was real or fake was not important; as long as Bai Ge got ten million, he wouldn't care about anything else.
Understanding this, Bai Ge felt a desire for the ten million.
"Whatever you say. Whether it's natural or not doesn't matter, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Bai Ge said.
Hearing this, Luo Wendi knew Bai Ge understood.
He immediately took out a check, wrote ten million, and placed it before Bai Ge.
Bai Ge didn't take it immediately, but said, "If I take the money, this thing will be considered your discovery. I don't want any more trouble."
Chen Song glared at Bai Ge. He had heard everything from the side.
Luo Wendi was spending ten million not just to buy the flower, but also as hush money, fearing that Bai Ge would spread it around that he had picked it.
So there was no need for Bai Ge to say this unnecessary sentence.
But in reality, they didn't understand Bai Ge.
Bai Ge realized that this Danmu might have achieved some special properties, and if Luo Wendi handed it over to the country, there would likely be significant repercussions.
In his heart, he actually hoped that Luo Wendi would appreciate it himself and treat it as a cultivated flower to play with.
Luo Wendi said, "If you think ten million is not enough, I can add another five million."
Bai Ge almost agreed, but he calmed himself and said.
"It's enough. Just ten million, and the flower is yours."
After speaking, he took the check and left.
Luo Wendi watched Bai Ge leave with a deep gaze, his heart filled with confusion.
"This person seems to be trying his best to distance himself from this flower."
"Although that's exactly what I want, he shouldn't be..."
However, in his eyes, Bai Ge was ultimately a nobody, and after thinking for a while, he stopped caring.
"This flower is too beautiful. Father-in-law will definitely like it."
"I need to send it to the provincial capital overnight."
"Whether to hand it over to the Chinese Academy of Sciences will also depend on what father-in-law says."
Bai Ge walked on the road, his mind heavy.
Getting ten million was, of course, exciting. It was a huge sum of money, and with this money, he could afford to not do business for several years.
But the two anomalies when he took out the Danmu made him feel suspicious.
"Can the settings I imagined out of thin air in my brain hole be acknowledged by reality?"
"If they can, then the usefulness of my brain hole would be immense."
"It's almost... omnipotent!"
Bai Ge's mood was a bit complicated. These days, he kept discovering new uses for his brain hole.
At first, he thought it was a trash ability, but gradually, the uses of the brain hole exceeded his expectations.
"No, it's not as good as I thought."
"Even if I could really realize the brain hole's settings, I couldn't afford the price."
"One danmu made me lose forty pounds, and my muscles have atrophied quite a bit. If I did it again, my body wouldn't be able to handle it."
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Ge suddenly arrived at a clinic.
Shao Yuan Clinic, an extremely ordinary name.
This was Bai Ge's childhood friend... Shao Yuan's own clinic, not far from where Bai Ge lived.
As soon as Bai Ge entered and saw no customers, he immediately lay down on the bed and shouted, "Old Shao, hurry up!"
Shao Yuan looked at him worriedly and said, "What's wrong? Are you having a headache?"
He thought Bai Ge had brain cancer and asked about headaches right away.
Bai Ge smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have brain cancer. I've already had it checked."
"Let me see the check-up results," Shao Yuan said.
Bai Ge didn't have any check-up results; he had examined himself internally.
"Uh, I threw them away long ago. Why would I keep them if I'm not sick?"
Shao Yuan obviously didn't believe him but was helpless.
"Then why did you come here?"
Bai Ge smiled and took out his phone, intending to transfer a few thousand yuan to Shao Yuan.
Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to quickly repay the money he owed his good brother.
Although Bai Ge was greedy for money, he never liked owing anyone. Even if he was forced to owe some, he would repay it as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yuan shook his head and said, "Didn't you want to earn a million? I'm not in a hurry."
"Ha, it's okay, I've already earned enough!" Bai Ge said with a smile.
Shao Yuan was stunned. How long had it been? He had already earned a million? Was he kidding him?
"You can't tell the truth even when you open your mouth. If you had a million, I'd really advise you to get your brain checked. Maybe there's still hope."
Bai Ge smiled and said, "My head really isn't sick. Forget it, I won't say anything more."
He was happy in his heart. In just a few days, he had gone from being troubled by a terminal illness to being healthy, having money, and possessing superpowers. It was a complete turnaround.
Shao Yuan shook his head and said, "Look at you, you've lost so much weight in just two months..."
At this moment, Bai Ge didn't seem like much to others, but as his childhood friend, Shao Yuan could tell he had lost too much weight.
Bai Ge originally weighed 150 pounds, but now he was probably only a little over 100 pounds, looking very thin...
Bai Ge took out the cash, put the money down, and turned to ask, "Yeah, I earned this money through hard work... I want to ask you something. What's the fastest way to replenish human energy?"
Shao Yuan said with a laugh, "Eat whatever is most nourishing. Why are you asking this? Want to gain weight? Then eat more high-calorie foods."
Bai Ge said, "I want to increase the energy in my body by dozens of times. Do you think that's possible?"
"Impossible. The way the human body stores excess energy is fat. You want to become dozens of times fatter than you are now? Are you kidding me?" Shao Yuan said.
"Isn't there any other way?" Bai Ge sighed.
Shao Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even think about it. Increasing energy reserves dozens of times? You're not an alien! Do you think you can be charged?"
"Charged?"
Bai Ge pondered and stood there in a daze. Shao Yuan found it strange, but thinking of Bai Ge's 'illness,' he could only sigh.
At this moment, Bai Ge's consciousness had already immersed itself in his brain hole.
"For my ability to affect reality, I must provide the energy myself. Even if I become a 300-pound fatty, how much energy can I store?"
"Charging, it would be great if humans could really be charged. Storing electrical energy in cells to supply the body's needs."
Bai Ge was thinking wildly, which caused Bell to confirm with him.
"Should we do this? To give humans the talent to store electrical energy in their cells..." Bell said.
Bai Ge said, "Can it really be realized?"
Bell said, "We can lower the requirements step by step..."
Bai Ge's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
Implanting the characteristic of 'storing electrical energy in cells' into Earthlings was a huge violation of common sense.
If the required energy was too much, exceeding his limit, there would be no reaction; it would simply not be recognized by reality.
But if the requirements were lowered step by step, for example, if the characteristic only lasted for a few days, or a few hours, and they experimented step by step, it would eventually be realized. Once realized, it would mean that fantasy characteristics could be recognized by reality.
Thinking of this, Bai Ge immediately bid farewell to Shao Yuan and wanted to go home to experiment.
However, he quickly thought of something else.
When he took out the Danmu, two abnormal things happened. One was excessive consumption.
He would know why this was the case as soon as he went home and tried to materialize his fantasy settings.
But the second thing, the mysterious unknown energy had escaped, and yet no catastrophic consequences occurred in reality. It was too incredible.
"Bell, the reason that escaped energy didn't destroy the world..."
"Isn't it also because some random brain hole characteristic was realized?"
Bell said calmly, "It's possible. Because the energy in your body also disappeared out of thin air, and the escaped mysterious energy also disappeared strangely. They likely vanished because something new appeared in the world."
"What characteristic would that energy realize?" Bai Ge asked.
Bell replied, "I don't know..."
"In your brain hole world's multiverse, there are too many settings that differ from reality."
"If our guess is correct, it was likely randomly realized."
After listening, Bai Ge looked worriedly at the city, which was no different from usual.
"Where did that energy go?"
