"Hey, boy, you'll be there!"

Seeing that Richard was about to step away again, the old man remembered something very important again, and quickly called Richard to stop.

"What?" asked Richard as he looked at the old lich.

"I just thought you said you suspected that the tree in the house had something else in mind, and might try to do something dangerous on the sly. You're not worried about this, and you're even prepared to catch the other party on the spot and force the other party to accept your harsher conditions, right?" said the old lich.

"Is there a problem?" asked Richard, a little strangely, "didn't we confirm these things a minute ago?"

"Of course there is a problem!" said the old man of the lich angrily, "according to what I know of you, you can't stay here all the time, and you can't tell when you'll be out of the house, sometimes for days. What if, I mean, that tree in the room makes a mess while you're gone?"

"Isn't it you?" replied Richard with a glance at the old man the lich.

"Me?" the old lich man paused for a moment before he understood the meaning of Richard's words, and his eyes widened, "You are really too much, the tree in that room is an immortal species, don't look at the honest now, it really explodes, I don't know how strong it will be." When the time comes, I'll deal with each other, what if there's danger? Besides, I'm a lich...... Well, I'm not afraid of it, but what if I make a mistake and fail?"

"That's why you told you to keep trying. Richard said, "Improve your strength and develop more powerful spell puppets, and when the other party is looking for trouble, you won't be able to deal with it." ”

"That's what you mean?" the old lich blinked.

"What do you think?"

"What ...... this?"

"Okay, I'll get busy first, you ...... Random. ”

Richard waved his hand and walked to the side, leaving the old lich man in place, blinking his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

A week later, Eden, Machining Sector, Inside Research Room III.

The ancient tree species of tinwood, which has just been moved here, has changed dramatically from a week ago.

At this time, it was fixed in a glass pool filled with nutrient solution by a black iron support, and the trunk had grown to a height of one and a half meters, and the diameter was more than ten centimeters, looking like a cylinder. Most of the trunk is unbranched, except at the top, where dense branches form a dense canopy - but without a single leaf in the canopy, it looks bare, like a jumble of wires.

Richard appeared in it, fiddling with a machine next to him.

The machine is a bit like a slot machine for gambling on Earth, but it is more complicated, the position of the display is occupied by many pointers and meters, joysticks and buttons are densely arranged on both sides, and there are wires coiled under the machine.

"Click, click!"

Richard adjusted his hand to the machine for a while, turned his head to look at Ximu, and asked aloud, "Are you ready?"

The bark of the trunk twisted, revealing the face of the tin wood, and a small hole two centimeters in diameter blew out the rapid air, and then the voice of the tin wood sounded: "Intruder, I'm ready, you can start." ”

"That's good. Richard nodded, grabbed a wire that connected to the machine, and approached the tinwood.

The wire is the size of a baby's arm, covered in black insulation, and ends with a pointed tip like a bird's beak. He was dragged by Richard to the side of the tin wood, and approached the trunk of the tin wood with a pointed head.

When the tip is about to touch the tin wood trunk, the tin wood trunk automatically cracks into a round hole, allowing the tip to be easily inserted and then wrapped.

Richard nodded, turned and walked back to the machine, and picked up a second black wire the thickness of the baby's arm.

Then there is the third, the fourth, the fifth......

In the end, Richard stuck more than a dozen black wires in the trunk of the tin wood before stopping.

"Click!"

Standing in front of the machine, fiddling for a moment, Richard looked at Ximu and said, "You can supply energy, first use a small amount of energy to do some tests, and then slowly increase it." ”

"Intruder, you've said this to me three times before. I am a higher being with wisdom, and I don't need you to be so long-winded, I understand. The ancient tree species Ximu said a little impatiently, and the branches at the canopy of the tree vibrated rapidly, rubbing against the air in the room at an extremely high frequency.

After more than ten seconds, as if friction had generated an electric current, suddenly a bright blue arc flashed over a tree. Followed by various arcs of red, cyan, green, yellow, and purple, all of them appeared at once, covering the entire canopy.

After that, the current was continuously transmitted to the trunk of the tree, and then followed the wire, into the machine in front of Richard.

"Click, click, click!"

Richard squinted at the readings of some meters on the machine, quickly adjusted the many joysticks, and said as he adjusted: "Okay, everything is normal, increase the energy supply, double it first." ”

"Yes. "In the Ximu Road, a denser arc of electricity appeared in the canopy of the tree, and the energy absorbed from the void across the space quickly doubled, through the trunk and wire, flowing through the control machine, and then along the wires that had been buried in the ground, transmitted to the rest of the place to play a role.

"Double it again, click, click!"

"Yes. ”

"Keep doubling up, click, click, click!"

"Yes. ”

This lasted for several minutes, and after Richard shouted the words "double the increase" again, he was rejected by Ximu.

"No, I'm almost at my limit now. "Ximu Dao, I found that its crown at this time can no longer see what it used to be, and it is occupied by arcs of various colors, forming a dazzling light cluster mixed with various colors.

Richard glanced at Ximu and thought for a moment, "Okay, just keep it like it is, under normal circumstances, how long can you keep it?"

"If we don't change and there are no surprises out there, then I can keep it that way until a year from now, when our partnership ends. "Ximu Road.

"That's best, you just keep it like that, if you have any problems, tell me in time, and I'll help you." Richard said, adjusting to the machine again, turned and walked out, and walked to the second research room.

At this time, the No. 2 laboratory is much more complex than before, and many new equipment has been added, but the core part is the laser generator located in the center.
