"Are you interested in the Golden Filament Belly?" Pi Xi saw Angor staring at the podium and asked out of curiosity.
Angor chuckled. "It's my first time seeing a space storage implanted inside my body, so I'm curious. But I'm more interested in your idea of" investing money for your invention "than the display. "
Angor was just expressing his opinion, but Pi Xi still felt comfortable listening to him.
It was as if Angor had approved of everything from the product to the idea.
At first, Pi Xi only wanted to find a random topic to avoid awkward silence. But now, he began to talk about the origin of the booth investment seriously.
"The idea of" investing money for your invention "was proposed by the greatest sage in the history of Piluccio, Picasio. Back then, Sage Picasio proposed the idea of using "invention" to revive the Piluccio race, but it didn't gain much support. "
"Many Piluccio citizens didn't know what" invention "could do to their lives. "
"So Sage Picasio launched a" You Invent, I Invest "campaign. "
"Only when Pilouxiu's people received the real Condensed Crystal in their hands did they have a real perception. "
"So Sage Picasio used his own money to fund the campaign?" "
Pi Xi nodded. "Yes. Back then, no one believed that Sage Picasio could change the fate of Piluccio. Even the nobles didn't want to pay for such a small hope. Therefore, Sage Picaccio used most of his life's savings to organize such an event for the entire nation. "
"The campaign was mocked at the beginning. Moreover, there were many unemployed people at the bottom who used all sorts of absurd words to deceive the Great Sage. "
As a result, many crystals were sold without any return. "
"But the sage didn't give up. He continued to support inventions. As long as you mentioned a concept, he would give you crystals even if it wasn't a good idea. "
"Because of the Great Sage's persistence, many people were touched. Slowly, people began to invent things, and they really did come up with many things. They weren't as good as Sage Picasio's inventions, but they still inspired the people to invent things until today. "
Now that he heard Pi Xi's story, he couldn't help but admire the man a lot.
Who would have thought that such a great sage who could change the world would be born in a race with a generally vile personality that had been vile for countless years?
Not only did he discover Pilucci's inventive talent, but he also worked hard to change the status of the entire race. His actions were enough to bring blessings to all generations.
Even if he wanted to take Picaccio's place, he would not be able to find a way to change Pilucci's position.
The fact that Pika Xiu was able to do this on his own was truly admirable.
"Maybe he saw all the people who laughed at him and tried to cheat him out of his funds. "
Pi Xi: "… Why do you say that? "
How could someone as wise and farsighted as Picasso not see what was happening? "
Pi Xi was silent for two seconds before he asked, "Then why do you think Sage Picaccio did not point it out, but is still willing to contribute?" "
Angor chuckled. "I think you already know the answer. "
Pi Xi did not answer. Instead, he looked at Pilucci who was still talking on the stage, then at the square filled with inventions, as well as the long lines of people from different races.
Without Sage Picaccio, no one would be able to enjoy such prosperity today.
He spoke softly, "Enlightenment." "
The "Enlighten" event, which was mocked, criticized, and cheated at the beginning, not only did he teach Pilucci about inventions, but he also enlightened Pilucci's people.
It was truly an enlightening event.
Even if they were cheated or ridiculed, as long as there was a spark, it could burn down the entire grassland.
And now …
When the spark burned the sky to ashes, those who cheated and ridiculed would also become the beneficiaries of the enlightening event. Even if they still refused to admit it, when their descendants were faced with a choice, they might choose to let them walk on the path of invention instead of their old path of swindling.
Others might see temporary gains and losses, but Sage Picaccio saw a bright future ahead of him.
This was true love. It was a great wish for Peluxiu's future.
Of course, Sage Picaccio would not mind being cheated.
"Duke Picaccio once said that Sage Picaccio's event is an enlightening event," Pi Xi said. "Back then, I only understood part of it. But today, I see something completely different." "
Pi Xi had actually wondered how Sage Picasho could be tricked, but he had never thought too deeply about it. Now that Angor brought it up, he finally understood.
Pi Xi already liked Angor, and now he was looking at Angor with even more admiration.
"Speaking of which." Pi Xi pointed at the stage. "What you see now is actually an improved version of Duke Picaccio's invention." "
There were not many improvements. The inventor was still Pilucci, and the concept of the invention remained the same. The only thing that changed was the investor.
In the past, Pilucci was the only investor and inventor.
The so-called "investment invention" was just an internal loop.
However, things were different now. They had brought in foreign investments. This way, the profits would be greater, and the financial pressure would be reduced, which was good for Pilucci's development.
However, the risk was greater than before. In the past, losses were only internal problems. Now, if the invention failed, it might cause a diplomatic incident.
Still, the risk was not without its benefits. Pilucci could build a good relationship with other races faster.
So all in all, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.
After saying that, Pi Xi looked at the lively display stage and said with some emotion, "Back then, when Sage Picaccio started the 'You Invent, I Invest' national activities, he often said this sentence. ""
"— — Inventions can create value." ""
"But it never happened. ""
"Now, Duke Picaccio improved the event and really did create value. But …" Pi Xi's eyes dimmed. "It's a pity that Sage Picaccio passed away before he could see it." "" Alright.
"Maybe Picasso did. But I think Picasso already saw this coming. "" Alright.
Pi Xi looked at Angor.
"Picasio must have known that Picasio's current reputation would never allow him to do that." Angor continued. "Picasio's invention could create value, but he must have known that Picasio's current reputation would never allow him to do that. But he still brought up the idea because he knew that Pilucci's reputation would slowly change if he followed the path of "invention". ""
"Only when all races accept Pilucci's invention will the value be revealed." ""
"And that … will take time." ""
Picaccio knew that he would not live to see that day, but he still gave Pilucci a big promise.
So many years had passed.
Although the current Peluxiu was still hated by the various races, their inventions and creations had already received recognition.
This was why all races were willing to participate when Pilucci suggested that they could earn money by inventing new concepts.
It was a pity, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Time waited for no man.
Angor wasn't trying to comfort Pi Xi. He only spoke out of respect for Picaccio.
However, Pi Xi was very touched by his sentiments.
Once again, he felt like he was being acknowledged.
"The Grand Duke once said that all races in the Mirror Realm are still prejudiced against Pilucci. Their prejudice made it hard for them to accept Pilucci's change. ""
"Mister, you're from another realm. You never lived in the Mirror Realm, so you're not prejudiced against Pilucci. ""
Pi Xi announced it once.
Pi Xi did not even refer to Angor as "guest". Instead, he directly called Angor "mister" to show his respect. It was obvious that his opinion of Angor had changed completely.
But Angor did not agree with Pi Xi's words. He even thought to himself, "Pilucci does have some good points, but his flaws are more obvious."
Just look at those rude merchants and those deceitful guards.
Pilucci's higher-ups might have gotten rid of their vulgar interests, but most of them were still the same. Under such circumstances, there was still a long way to go before the various races could eliminate their prejudice against Peluxiu.
Angor did not speak his mind out of politeness. But the others were not as polite.
A cold snort sounded from the side, "There is indeed a change in Peluxiu. But why do I feel like he's getting worse? ""
He looked back and saw Luigi walking through the crowd toward them in big strides.
Luigi walked to Pi Xi and spoke with an expressionless face, "Don't blame others for being prejudiced. How did that Blind Pi Xi guy treat his customers? He kicked them out without saying anything, and even blacklisted them. You call that changing for the better? ""
When Pici heard someone singing a different tune, he wanted to argue, but when he saw that it was Luigi, the one he owed a favor to, he immediately withered.
In addition, they were indeed in the wrong this time. That blind customer service employee called Pipi Pipi had done some weird things and offended Luigi, the big boss.
Pi Xi could only accept the scolding.
Seeing Pi Xi lowering his head, Luigi did not bother to continue. He looked at Angor and asked, "What are you going to do now? Are you going to check out Pilucci's products first, or … meet someone? " "" "
"Meet someone? Who? " Angor was puzzled.
Luigi did not beat around the bush. "Sage Pika. ""
"Aren't you interested in the Eye of Thunder? I asked about it, and Sage Pika is keeping it safe," Luigi said. "If you want to see the Eye of Thunder, you have to go to him, and —"
Luigi hesitated for a moment and whispered into Angor's ear, "Also, Laplace already told me what happened to you. You can tell Sage about it. "" "
Angor believed that Gleipnir's plan was a good one. First, conquer the Mirror Dragon, then use the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom's reputation to spread the news to other races.
But on second thought, it was not a big deal to leak the news to other races in advance.
Of course, the race had to have a wise leader. Otherwise, it could easily lead to chaos.
So far, there were only two leaders in Pilucci: Sage Pika and Grand Duke Pika. Angor did not know about their personalities, but as Pika's descendant, Luigi respected Sage Pika quite a bit. Maybe he could go and check it out?
As for whether they would talk about it after that, that was another story.
With that in mind, Angor nodded. ""
"You're coming with us?" Aren't you going to … trouble that guy? " "" "
"The one who blocked me is called Blind Pika." Luigi said. "Just like his name, he's blind in both eyes and heart. I've already looked for him. ""
"You found him? That's it? " Angor was puzzled.
Didn't Luigi say that he was going to beat Pika up? But he didn't stay at Pilucci's station for long. Did he already beat up Pika?
Luigi humphed. "It's not over yet. I'll find him first and mark him. I'll go and find him when I have time. " "" "
Angor was puzzled. "What the hell?"
Luigi said. "I made up my mind before coming here. Instead of beating him up, I'd rather let him live in fear for a few days. Otherwise, we'll be letting him off easy. "" "
"…"
…
However, when they arrived at Pika's residence, they were stopped by Peluzzo's guards at the entrance. "What's the matter with you?"
According to them,
Sage Pika was talking to a high-ranking member of the Crystaleye Race.
They couldn't go in for now.
Through Pi Xi, they learned that Sage Pika had brought the Eye of Thunder with him because he had been entrusted by the Crystal Eye Race.
The Crystaleye Race wanted both a crystal shell with unparalleled defense and an Eye of Thunder with powerful offensive power. Luigi shrugged. "I don't know what they're up to. They're pretty ambitious." ""
I don't think they can come to an agreement in one day. They'll have to pay a huge price to buy the Eye of Thunder. " Luigi looked at Pika and said, "Besides, Sage Pika won't negotiate with them. Pika is the one who's going to talk about the price. He hasn't met with the Crystaleye Race yet, so he'll have to wait until the end of the meeting. ""
Pika bowed and didn't dare to say anything.
He didn't say anything, but he noticed something. Both Luigi and Laplace seemed to care a lot about a human wizard named Xuan.
Who could he be?
In the past, Pika wouldn't care about a human's identity. But Angor's words were too much to his liking, and he was curious about Angor's identity.
Angor didn't know what was on Pika's mind. Even if he did, he wouldn't mind.
He might be famous in the southern wizarding region, but in the Mirror Domain … he was just a nobody.
"You told Pika that you're interested in the Golden Filament Pouch? How about we go to the market first and come back later? " ""
