It didn't take long for Pi Xi to run back excitedly.
Together with Pi Xi was a red-skinned Peluxiu wearing an exquisite blue robe.
"This is Peter Dan, the heir and butler of Peel Family." Pi Xi pointed at the red-skinned Peluxiu.
"Ah, I can't believe I'm seeing such a noble guest. This is the honor of the humble Peter Dan who worked hard for most of his life!" Perhaps Pi Xi had already told Angor about this beforehand, so he acted extremely humble in front of Angor. Under his exaggerated expression, all kinds of flattery came out of his mouth.
Angor already knew how shameless Peluxiu could be. Pi Erdan's flattery didn't make his expression change at all.
However, Pi Xi's identity was a bit confusing.
An heir and a butler. What kind of irrelevant combination was this? Did a servant in Peel Family already become a god?
Angor felt strange, but he did not ask. He just assumed it was a custom unique to Peluxiu Family, just like the custom of dying one's teeth. It was hard to understand, but he could only respect it.
"Cut the crap. Let's get to the point." Pi Xi glared at Pi Xi who was still trying to flatter him. "Take out the thing!" "What?"
"Thing?" Angor looked at Pi Xi in confusion.
Hearing Pi Xi's words, did Pi Erdan bring the Invention Mouse?
But no matter how hard Angor looked, he could not find any sign of movement under Pi Erdan's thin robe. Since the invention mouse was not on him, did it mean Pi Xi put it in a space storage?
With that in mind, Angor put on a strange expression.
The most common space storage of Peluxiu Family was the Golden Filament Stomach, which was an artificial organ that was usually implanted into the body.
If the invention mouse was in Pi Xi's stomach, did it mean he had to … vomit to take it out?
Angor did not want to think too much about it.
However, he now understood why the idea of the Golden Filament Glove received so much investment.
While Angor was lost in his thoughts, Pi Xi had already taken out the thing.
Contrary to Angor's expectation, the "thing" Pi Xi mentioned did not come from Pi Xi's mouth. Pi Xi took it out from his sleeve.
This "thing" was not an invention mouse, but a small, well-ordered book.
There was an emblem on the cover of the booklet. The emblem was a simple drawing of Peluxiu standing on top of a mountain with his back facing the sun and his right hand raised high.
According to Pi Xi's introduction, this emblem was the emblem of the Peel family.
It was the first time Angor saw such a "unique" emblem. He might as well find someone to paint a miniature oil painting.
He complained in his heart while listening to Pi Erdan's introduction.
This booklet was, in fact, a "roster". The so-called "flower names" did not refer to people, nor did they refer to Peluxiu. They referred to the various invention rats.
Pi Xi: "The Pi Er family brought 36 invention mice this time. Among them, 6 are Pi Feifei's direct descendants, and the rest are all intergenerational descendants. "
In order to sell these 36 invention mice, the Pi Er family made a roster for them. Not only did the booklet record the appearance, personality, and abilities of each invention mouse, but the Pi Er family also invited a famous inventor from the Peluxiu family, Pibopi, to write down his own proverbs and subjective comments about each invention mouse.
In other words, the Pi Er family did a lot of tricks to sell these invention mice.
Unfortunately, the invention mouse was only a little famous in Pibopi Castle. No one cared about it outside. Even when the Pi Er family wanted to bring the invention mouse to the castle to set up a stall, they were refused.
Something like the invention mouse could be sold in the stalls around the castle. Leaving it here would only bring shame to Peluxiu's invention.
It made sense. Peluxiu's biggest reputation was his invention. But now, he set up a stall with an invention mouse and claimed that he could do anything with it.
What would other races think of his invention? Wasn't this self-deprecation?
If he claimed that the invention of the invention mouse was only a "smart mouse", then there was no gimmick or label. What would other races do with it? Keep it as a pet?
Peluxiu's superiors made the right decision. If they wanted to sell the invention mouse, they had to go to the stalls outside the castle instead of around the station.
Selling an invention mouse was even more pointless than a tooth dye shop.
Because of this, Pi Er's invention mice were not in the castle anymore. Instead, they were scattered in different stalls around the castle.
It would take a lot of time to gather all thirty-six Inventor Mice. So Pi Er decided to bring Pierre to Angor first.
Pi Erdan brought them here so that Angor and Luigi could check the list. If any of them caught Pi Erdan's attention, he would send someone to fetch them.
Luigi didn't mind it, but Angor was a little disappointed.
He could use his Super Perception to check the mouse's emotions to determine its brain activity and whether it was "intelligent" or not.
But now, he couldn't see the invention mouse with his own eyes through the booklet, which meant he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
Still, Angor didn't think too much about it.
If it was Pi Feifei, he might pay more attention. But since it was a relatively smart hamster, he didn't expect much.
Of course, in order not to let Luigi know that he was pretending to be a Riddler, Angor still had to pretend to be interested. He even took the booklet and started reading it in front of Pi Er and Pi Er.
He was reading slowly as if he was really appreciating something.
Luigi also moved his head closer to look at the "smart mice".
All the invention mice on the first six pages were Pi Feifei's offspring.
Angor glanced at the pictures and found that the mice looked like a bunch of demons dancing around. There were fat, tri-colored guinea pigs, pure-white hairy mice with tiny beady eyes, tiny field mice with tiny glasses, spiky mice the size of babies, old hamsters with long beards and walking sticks, and house mice with black hair and hair …
Most of the mice couldn't even be called hamsters. Judging from their appearances, they belonged to other families.
Angor couldn't believe that they were all born from the same invention mouse.
The inventor mouse named Pi Feifei was indeed a heroic female mouse.
Among the six Pi Feifei's offspring, the pure-white hairy mice and the tri-colored guinea pigs were cute. But compared to the golden silk bear he saw at the parrot's place, they were much less attractive.
Angor remembered Luigi saying that the golden silk bear looked exactly like Pi Feifei. He thought the other invention mice would look the same, but he was wrong. The golden silk bear was the only one that looked exactly like Pi Feifei.
He couldn't tell anything from its appearance.
He read the description of the mice carefully. All six of them were proficient in languages and could talk. They could also help people with some basic tasks.
Two of them could read, and their IQ was at the level of an ordinary Peluxiu.
In terms of "smart mice", all of them were smart mice, and a few of them were even smarter mice. But they weren't amazing yet.
At least in Angor's opinion, training these mice was not as useful as training a human.
Luigi, on the other hand, was quite fond of the mice. Compared to the golden silk bear he saw at the parrot's place, these mice were really smart.
Luigi even began to imagine some scenes. When he played the piano, the mice danced happily; when he recited poems, the mice were moved to tears; when he took a rest, the mice cleaned the strings one by one with special oil.
Luigi's imagination always had a beautiful filter.
Still, Luigi didn't forget his original intention. He wanted to know what was so special about the golden silk bear at the parrot's place. Also, was there something special about these mice?
Luigi didn't ask directly. Instead, he looked straight at Angor.
He was trying to hint Angor with his eyes.
Of course, Angor noticed Luigi's gaze, but he pretended not to see it and quietly turned the page. More importantly, he didn't know how to explain it to Luigi.
Admit that he was pretending to be a Riddler? That would be so embarrassing.
Angor kept a calm expression and turned the pages one by one.
Apart from the first six pages, the rest of the pages were all about the intergenerational descendants.
Most of the intergenerational descendants were becoming stupid. In Piebpi's words, "The bloodline is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to breed an invention mouse that can reach Pi Feifei's level, you have to rely on the first generation. The intergenerational descendants can only be considered half-finished products unless they show signs of atavism. "
In fact, Pi Boopi had already kept the semi-finished products to himself. What he wanted to express was that these were all failed products.
There were a few intergenerational descendants who knew how to speak, were quite smart, and even "thirsty for knowledge". However, they were still far from being as good as the real descendants. As for comparing them to Pi Feifei? That was even more impossible.
However, Piebpi's comment mentioned the word "atavism".
This immediately reminded Luigi of the golden silk bear at the parrot's place.
That Golden Silk Bear looked exactly like Pi Feifei. Could this be a form of atavism? But did atavism only mean physical atavism, but not intelligence?
Luigi didn't understand.
But now, he was even more convinced that the Golden Silk Bear was very special.
Since it was atavism, and Angor was treating it differently … Maybe he should contact the parrot and ask him to buy it for him?
Angor didn't know what Luigi was thinking. He didn't even think about atavism. He used his Super Perception to check the golden silk bear and confirmed that it was just a dumb mouse with a cute appearance. There was no way it could become Pi Feifei through atavism.
Angor flipped through the list and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how he should "put on a show" to reject the offer.
But in the eyes of Piebpi and Pierre, Angor was in a dilemma. He didn't know which invention mouse to buy.
Seeing Angor's "dilemma", Pi decided to help him.
"Pi Erdan, are these the only invention mice that are for sale? Piebpi asked.
Pierre didn't know what Piebpi meant, but he still nodded. "Okay.
Pi Xi: "Hmm … Pi Bupi's comments aren't that valuable. He hasn't been in contact with these invention mice for long. Pi Erdan, you should do the introductions. You should know the pros and cons of these invention mice better than Pi Bupi." "Okay.
"If you were to rank these invention mice, which one would you recommend more? "Okay."
Piebpi gave Pierre a meaningful look. "Can't you see the customer hesitating? You have to tell him! Why are you so stupid? "
Pierre received the "radio wave" and began to talk about his recommendation. "Personally, I recommend the one on the first page. Overall, it has the highest rating, and it's kinder. It can take a beating, and doesn't hold grudges …"
Angor … I thought you were recommending a pet. Are you recommending a punching bag?
When Pierre's mouth went dry, he stopped and gave Piebpi a questioning look. "What do you think?"
Piebpi didn't say anything. He wanted to see if the customer would buy it.
Pirdan nodded and looked at Angor.
He didn't look at Luigi because Luigi was also looking at Angor. Clearly, Luigi also wanted to hear a definite answer from Angor.
Angor cleared his throat and said, "These invention mice aren't bad. But I think they're lacking something." "Something?"
"Lacking something? What is it? " Luigi and Piebpi asked at the same time.
Angor put on a troubled expression. "It's hard to say. It's a mysterious feeling." "Something?"
In short, it was a feeling.
He didn't match it.
Now, he was using this common excuse right in front of him. As for what it was, it was just as he said. It was mysterious and hard to describe.
Everyone was confused. Even Luigi didn't know what Angor meant. After thinking for a while, he finally saw a line of crooked words in the booklet. "None of them."
Luigi suddenly realized that Angor didn't like these invention mice!
Why not?
Simple. Because of the Golden Silk Bear!
There was an even more "mysterious" Golden Silk Bear. Why would Angor care about these useless things?
Luigi thought he understood and nodded at Angor with a "I know you" look.
Angor was confused this time. What did I say? What do you know about me? I don't even know what I'm talking about. How can you?
Luigi was full of himself, while Luigi was still confused.
Pi Erdan: "Honorable guest, you mean …"
Angor glanced at Luigi from the corner of his eyes. "I mean, isn't there anything more special? If there isn't anything special, these won't do. They're too lacking. " "Alright."
Angor already said his refusal on the surface, so he thought he could get away with it.
To his surprise, Pi Erdan fell into deep thought after hearing Angor's words.
After a while, Pi Erdan raised his head and said, "If you want to talk about a special Invention Mouse, I have seen one before. But it wasn't raised by the Pierre Family. They sold it to a peddler. The peddler bred it in private and raised a descendant of another generation. "Alright."
Angor was speechless. "…"
I thought this was the end of the topic. Are you going to tell me something else now?
Angor didn't know what to say. Luigi showed an "I see" expression and asked Pierre, "What's so special about the special invention mouse you mentioned? Let's hear it. " "Okay."
Pierre looked at Luigi and saw Luigi nodding at him. "That invention mouse is a gray-haired mouse …"
