Chapter 121 Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Long ChangLi, the people from the Long Family, and the other people present at the scene just thought that JinYu would say that he had seen or knew something about the night pearl, yet the latter merely stated his suspicion regarding the present situation.
No one believed that he could produce definite evidence that even the foremost authorities (最权威者) could not.
However, everyone was instantly stunned when JinYu pointed to the encyclopedia in the display cabinet. Then a burst of laughter resounded throughout the collection hall.
“Hahahaha!”
“Oh my G.o.d, I nearly died of laughter! Did you hear what he said? An encyclopedia!”
“I even thought he was about to say something important. Ai yo, would something that is shown to children have the things that scholars need? It's just some atlases and stories. He's even presenting it as evidence!”
“Tch, why have all kinds of trash been able to partic.i.p.ate in the trade conference recently? Public morals are really degenerating with each pa.s.sing day…”
JinYu raised an eyebrow upon hearing the laughter and disapproval. It suddenly occurred to him that the social system was one with more emphasis on hierarchy and social cla.s.s despite the level of civilization and technology being quite advanced in some aspects. At best, the people here did not inhumanely or irrationally bully and exploit others as their past social cla.s.ses once did. This was a society with a system to protect the lower cla.s.s which was a slight equilibrium among many the imbalances.
JinYu was usually unable to feel the subtle difference, yet he could easily feel it at this moment. But what about that?
“Hey, old man, don't you think so too?”
Ignoring the people who were laughing and ridiculing him, JinYu turned around and looked at the old man who looked completely like an antique. Then he asked as he tilted his head.
Before some seemingly absurd things became the truth, it was inevitable to be ridiculed. f.u.c.k, although this incident was not at the level of it becoming a truth, this was more than enough to be an extremely favorable piece of evidence.
“You! Speak with respect! This is Elder Ling Zheng who is known as a national elder in the field of mechanical light particles and heavy energy! How dare you be so rude?”
Rolling his eyes at the guy opposite who was scowling coldly at him, JinYu looked at Ling Zheng and said, “What are youngsters and children? Are they an existence that doesn't understand anything and can be fooled at will in your heart? Are you taking all youngsters and children as fools that just believe in what others say? How ridiculous! Your children would even ask why there are red, yellow or even black trees if you tell them that trees are green. The thoughts and ideologies of children and youngsters are instilled and taught from childhood, that's why what is written for them is done with more care than what is written for adults. I don't believe everyone was regarded as ignorant children by your families when you were youngsters? What a joke. Half of you were probably already starting to touch on the core content of your families.”
“You are just resorting to sophistry! How can you know that there are records about the night pearl in the collection even if there are no problems with the book itself?! Have you ever seen it?!” A young master from the collateral branch of the Long Family shouted.
I've really seen it.
JinYu replied in his heart with incomparable loneliness. Then he sighed and retorted, “I guessed.”
“Hah?!”
“You're speaking nonsense (信口雌黄)…”
“Shut up!”
Suddenly, the elderly man named Ling Zheng ferociously roared at the child from the Long Family. He stared at JinYu for a long time before slowly saying, “Fluorite/fluorescein?”
“Er. Haha…”
It was really not easy to fool this old fellow.
“Little worm, go get me the anti-corrosion gloves and the photon inspection machine. I want to personally verify what this kid just said.” Ling Zheng looked at Ling Chong and instructed after roaring at that kid from the Long Family. Ling Chong almost completely wilted once these words were spoken, while JinYu snorted in laughter.
What made Ling Zheng depressed and frustrated was because JinYu when started laughing, Long ChangXiao, Jin Qian, Ye Huang and the two sisters from the Bai Family also unceremoniously burst into laughter. Apart from this, the beasts that accompanied them all started to roll about and scratch the ground. There were all kinds of b.e.s.t.i.a.l howls and screeching around them instantly. Even Big Boss Qi raised the corners of his mouth in an insincere smile.
Worm worm worm! You are the worm! Your whole family are all worms!!
Ling Chong was all depressed and frustrated, yet he was unable to refute the elderly man's words. His position in the family was about the same as Ling Chong's grandfather even though he was not directly blood-related to Ling Chong. The Ling Family attached great importance to capable collateral branch members. Moreover, this person's…. own position was also quite amazing.
“Little worm?”
“Okay, Grandpa Zheng! Someone come over here! Hurry up! Where's the photon inspection machine? How can I move it by myself?”
Ling Chong howled at the roof. Obviously, he had an ulterior motive and wanted someone to come down. However, this fella definitely overestimated his charm and underestimated the calmness of Wu Ying. Shout, keep shouting. Lao Zi didn't hear anything and won't help you if Lao Zi hears you. You're not even my master. Continue randomly shouting if you want people to think that you're stupid. I really don't mind.
So a certain worm failed in shouting for someone and was depressed. Under the confused gazes of the people, he angrily teleported out. Yes, it wasn't wrong. He teleported out. It was said that the people from the White Spirit Monkey Clan also had an astonishing technique pa.s.sed down from the Spirit Monkey in addition to their terrifying forecasting ability. Although this technique was unable to kill anyone, whoever wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate a person from the White Spirit Monkey Clan had to kill them in one strike. Otherwise, the a.s.sa.s.sination can be declared as a failure once the Ling Family used that technique.
Due to the request of Elder Ling Zheng, all the people that were sn.i.g.g.e.ring at JinYu were at a loss. How could Elder Ling believe the words of this unknown boy?! It's unscientific! That was to say, Elder Ling was doubting that the night pearl from the Long Family was real?!
