Chapter 15 A yandere female scientist comes knocking, willing to be a back scrubber for a bite of me
The steel pipe in Zhou Bapi's hand fell to the ground with a "thud," hitting his own instep.
He didn't even have time to cry out in pain; he just stared wide-eyed at the woman in the white coat who crawled out of the discus.
The Ferrari was run over three times by a 20-ton titanium alloy tractor, and even the chassis got stuck in the mud.
A living person was hidden in the trunk and wasn't crushed into mincemeat?
Tang Wu pushed up her cracked black-rimmed glasses, completely ignoring the jumbled jaws around her.
Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on the tractor that was reversing into the parking space.
As a genius scientist hailed as a national treasure, she immediately saw the unreasonable nature of that agricultural machine.
A tractor engine of that size could absolutely not drive a 20-ton special alloy track.
Unless, under that broken metal cover, there is a miniature nuclear fusion engine.
Su Qinghan stood in the courtyard, and after seeing the woman's face clearly, the hand holding the glass suddenly trembled.
Water splashed onto the hem of her maid's skirt, leaving several dark water stains that she didn't bother to wipe away.
"Tang Wu? How did you end up locked in Zhao Tai's trunk?!"
Su Qinghan recognized this legendary figure in the scientific research community at a glance.
A month ago, Tang Wu announced that he had overcome the theoretical barrier of room-temperature superconductivity, which caused a sensation in the global academic community.
Major multinational conglomerates offered exorbitant sums to seize her patents, but she coldly rejected them all.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Tai, the young master of Aurora Capital, was so ruthless as to kidnap people.
When Tang Wu heard someone call her name, she turned her head and glanced at Su Qinghan.
Her pale lips parted, as if she were about to speak, but only a hoarse, dry cough escaped her throat.
I was locked in the stuffy trunk for a whole day and night without a drop of water.
Her strength had long been exhausted, and her legs gave way, causing her to fall heavily onto the muddy asphalt road.
Lin Xian lay on the holographic beach chair in the yard and yawned.
He casually picked up a piece of chilled watermelon from the fruit plate on the table and took a big bite.
This watermelon is a mutated variety that the system just refreshed today, and it's been chilled by snowflakes sent down by the weather controller.
With one bite, sweet juice bursts from the crisp melon flesh, dripping down Lin Xian's lips.
Mu Xiaotian squatted down beside her, eating half a watermelon until her face was covered in red juice.
"Boss, this melon is so sweet! I feel like my reaction speed in games has even improved after eating it!"
Tang Wu lay prone in the mud, her nose twitching slightly.
A refreshing fragrance drifted out of the courtyard on the cool breeze and went straight into her nostrils.
That was the unique, rich life force of the mutated watermelon.
For someone on the verge of dehydration and shock, this scent is more deadly than any stimulant.
Tang Wu swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva and crawled towards the old house gate on all fours.
Her white coat was dragged through the mud and water, covered in black engine oil and dirty water.
Looking at this crazed woman, Zhou Bapi swallowed hard and led his henchmen to make way for her.
Tang Wu climbed into the courtyard, looked up at the swirling snowflakes, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The road outside was baking in the sun, but inside the courtyard, it was snowing heavily.
This weather control technology, which defies the laws of physics, made her breathing quicken instantly.
But now, she doesn't even have the strength to look at the snowflakes in the sky anymore.
Her gaze was completely fixed on the plate of bright red, chilled watermelon on Lin Xian's table.
Xia Anran felt a pang of pity seeing Tang Wu's miserable state.
She picked up a slice of watermelon, carefully walked up to Tang Wu, and handed it to her.
Tang Wu, like a starving wolf, snatched the watermelon and stuffed it into her mouth without even peeling the rind, chewing it greedily.
The cool, sweet juice bursts in your mouth.
The life-restoring factors contained in the mutated watermelon instantly merged into Tang Wu's parched limbs and bones.
Her originally pale face began to glow with a healthy blush at a visible speed.
The tiny cuts on my arm, caused by the trunk latch, stopped bleeding and scabbed over within seconds.
Tang Wu stopped chewing and froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
This is no ordinary watermelon; it's clearly a cellular-level repair miracle drug that can transform a person completely.
Her materialistic scientific worldview, which she had upheld for over twenty years, shattered into countless fragments at that moment.
Tang Wu suddenly turned her head, her eyes shining brightly as she stared intently at Lin Xian, who was lying on the beach chair.
A micro-engine ahead of its time, localized weather control technology, and this miraculous cell-repairing fruit.
What kind of creator is this man wearing floral shorts and flip-flops?
Tang Wu scrambled to Lin Xian's chair and grabbed his ankle.
"All of these technologies are yours, right?"
"Let me stay and study them. I can do anything, just give me a bite of melon every day!"
This research fanatic, who usually considers it a waste of time to even glance at a tycoon, was now like a little girl begging for food.
Lin Xian pulled his foot back in disgust and wiped the mud off the edge of the recliner.
"I don't keep idle people in my territory."
"Your ex-boss tried to throw money at me, but he was so scared by my tractor that he peed his pants and ran away."
"I don't lack researchers, I just need someone to do odd jobs."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wu didn't hesitate to tear off her dirty white coat.
"If you'll let me stay, I'll do anything, even clean the toilet, let alone odd jobs!"
Her hands, which were usually gripping precision test tubes, were now digging tightly into the blue bricks on the ground, as if afraid that Lin Xian would tell her to leave.
Su Qinghan shook her head as she watched from the side.
If the outside world knew that Tang Wu, a national treasure-level scientist, was begging to clean toilets, the global academic community would probably go crazy.
Lin Xian stroked his chin and looked Tang Wu up and down.
"There are fully automatic robots that clean toilets, you don't need to do it."
"I just happened to need someone to scrub my back while I was taking a bath. I see you have some strength in your hands, so this job is yours from now on."
Chu Yiyi, who was listening nearby, stared wide-eyed.
She's a top-tier celebrity, so it's one thing for her to be relegated to feeding pigs.
This guy is a big name in the scientific research field, and his boss actually assigned him to work as a back scrubber in a bathhouse?
Tang Wu didn't hesitate for even half a second, nodding her head vigorously.
As long as she could stay next to these cutting-edge technologies, she would gladly do anything, even wash Lin Xian's feet every day, let alone scrub his back.
Half an hour later, in the makeshift bathroom in the backyard of the old house, which was converted from an abandoned warehouse.
Lin Xian comfortably lay on the edge of the heated massage bathtub.
A spring of spiritual water with a faint medicinal fragrance gushed from the bottom of the bathtub, washing away his fatigue.
Tang Wu changed into a black, form-fitting maid outfit and wore non-slip, waterproof rubber gloves.
She knelt on the non-slip mat next to the bathtub, holding a specially made bath towel in her hand.
Those hands, which had solved countless world-class problems, were now diligently rubbing Lin Xian's back.
The warm steam in the bathroom made Tang Wu's usually cool face flushed.
She pushed up her new glasses on the bridge of her nose and couldn't help but look around the bathroom.
The temperature control panel on the wall uses liquid metal flow technology that she has only seen in theoretical journals.
The shower head even has a built-in quantum filter that can further refine and recombine water molecules.
Tang Wu's heart beat faster and faster as she looked at the back, and she unconsciously increased the pressure of her hand rubbing it.
Lin Xian gasped as she rubbed him.
"Be gentle, are you trying to scrape the skin off my back and use it as a specimen?"
Tang Wu quickly eased her grip, pouting slightly in grievance.
"Boss, your old house is comfortable to live in, but it's full of cutting-edge technology."
"As a chief technology officer, I don't even have my own sterile laboratory."
"I can't possibly sit next to the pigsty every day drawing those tractor engine blueprints, can I?"
Tang Wu had barely finished complaining when...
Deep within Lin Xian's mind, the system's cold, mechanical notification immediately rang out.
"Ding! Detected a need for a Territory Chief Technology Officer, triggering the second phase of the chain quest."
"The plan for a frenzied expansion of territory has been launched."
"Please expand your territory by 10 kilometers within 24 hours and construct a fully functional underground research fortress."
"Mission completion reward: One set of blueprints for unlimited space folding technology, and a cash bonus of one billion!"
As Lin Xian listened to the voice in his mind, a lazy smile curved his lips.
This system is quite sensible; it even clearly understood his desire to avoid trouble and move.
He lay on the edge of the bathtub, enjoying Tang Wu's back-rubbing service, and leisurely closed his eyes.
"You want a lab, huh? Fine, I'll get you one bigger than the Pentagon tomorrow."
The bath towel in Tang Wu's hand slipped into the bathtub, splashing a small drop of water onto the tip of her nose.
She stared wide-eyed at the back of Lin Xian's head, her breath catching in her throat.
"A lab bigger than the Pentagon?"
"Boss, even if we put all of Qingshui County together, we couldn't fit a building that big, could we?"
