One day later, inside a private room at the Lungn Grand Hotel.
"Mr. Li Lin, we et again."
"Ah, hello, Doctor Kal'tsit. Are we going to talk about dical equipnt?"
"…Yes."
Glancing at Red beside her, who was still looking around with wide, dazed eyes, seemingly not yet recovered, Kal'tsit sighed, looked at Li Lin before her, who was rubbing his hands with a smug expression, and felt as if sothing had gone wrong at the most fundantal point of her judgnt.
If it were an ordinary person, or even soone with so thoughts, after being pointed out their abilities and the consequences they triggered, they would more or less have so concerns and unease. But this man didn't have such emotions; he still lived his own life at his own pace, not caring about others' views, not caring about others' thoughts. Perhaps that conversation itself didn't leave any shadow on Li Lin.
He just purely lived as he liked, with no room to care about others. Judging from his strength and thoughts, a person like him should clearly be easily bound by things like national righteousness and similar human relationships, but strangely, he didn't seem to have such constraints; he was still him, walking very purely on this land, living according to his own ideas. Kal'tsit knew that Wei Yenwu, who was skilled at manipulating people's hearts, had also failed (- lit. "broken halberd sinks in sand," idiom for suffering a crushing defeat) in his thoughts and actions regarding him, but this also made Kal'tsit even more curious about what exactly was going on with this man.
Kal'tsit had seen many outstanding people, geniuses were also not uncommon for her; she also had so understanding of those beings from myths and legends. But this was the first ti she had seen such a strange individual like Li Lin. Or rather, it was the first ti Kal'tsit had seen his essence.
Gentle people are always habitually very gentle to everyone; people with a mild temperant also tend to always be very mild.
But to be completely indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of millions as if it were a passing cloud, even unconcerned about the tragedies indirectly caused by oneself, yet caring to the extre about those close friends and family around, even willing to sacrifice one's own life to save them—Kal'tsit hadn't even seen such strange symptoms among Oripathy patients. It was as if the entire world didn't matter as much to him as those few individuals.
This wasn't empty talk, but in a true sense, he wouldn't care if the whole world was destroyed; he only cared about those friends' thoughts. Towards this kind of ti bomb, or rather, a madman wielding imnse power, Kal'tsit, apart from tentatively trying to understand, didn't even want too much contact.
Wanting to understand others is one aspect, but if the person to be understood is a nuclear bomb, that's another aspect.
Kal'tsit had her own gentleness, but people like Li Lin were not within the scope of her gentleness.
Looking at Li Lin, who was already sitting at the table in front and starting to order food, Kal'tsit had no intention of being polite at all, sat down in front of the chair, and said very straightforwardly:
"I dispatched Red to try and understand so information about Eden. Because your company is too mysterious; without any external communication, yet possessing extrely strong production capabilities, your equipnt is used all over the world, but we know nothing about you yourselves, so I made such a decision."
"Ah~ It's fine, it's fine, actually this is also my fault."
Looking at Kal'tsit's face, Li Lin waved his hand, showing a troubled expression.
"Mayer isn't the type who likes advertising; she prefers squatting at ho doing research. And I haven't had much ti recently; after all, I just woke up not long ago, so this aspect has fallen behind. So I originally planned to buy a portal website to advertise, let everyone know Eden; sorry for causing you so suspicion."
"I actually don't wish to communicate with you; I don't trust those so-called portals of yours either. I only trust what I see."
"…So you actually have so hostility towards ?"
"Correct."
Kal'tsit lowered her eyelids and said straightforwardly:
"I rather detest this kind of twisted personality that clearly knows everything yet still imrses itself in childish gas. All this might just be a ga after a al for you, but for us, it's already a life that must be lived. This sense of detachnt makes it very difficult for to have a good impression of you."
"Is that so…"
Li Lin blinked, saying with so difficulty:
"Then are you buying or not? If you detest so much, are you still buying?"
"…Five hundred blood dialysis machines, five hundred sets of versatile surgical tools, and various other dical equipnt, along with all the dical devices your Eden possesses, we need fifty of each for trial use. As for the deposit, I can transfer it to Eden's account now. But I need to see these at Rhodes Island in three days."
"No problem, believing in Eden is believing in nature, believing in nature is believing in the universe. Although our dical equipnt can't be said to be the best, it is definitely the most versatile and most reassuring. Because we at Eden are completely people-oriented, referencing the harmonious coexistence in nature, absolutely no mistakes or accidents will occur. If a problem arises, it must be because of a BUG in the internal logical algorithm; just throw it away and buy a new one. Anyway, it's cheap."
"Hope these things are really as good as you say."
"Of course they're very good to use; with so many experintal remains under Eden as proof, absolutely good to use, no doubt about it."
"…"
I'll refrain from asking what those clones are for now.
Looking at the man before her who seed unconcerned, Kal'tsit sighed, feeling that coming to see this man today might have been a mistake.
However, if the dical effects were really that good, Rhodes Island's short-term financial expenditure might be a bit tight. But in the long run, it was a good thing. Maintaining a good trading partner relationship with Eden was also a good choice. Kal'tsit thought for a mont, then directly transferred the money Wei Yenwu gave to Eden's account.
And what made Kal'tsit's eyelids twitch slightly was that on the electronic screen beside her, Mayer's smiling cartoon expression giving a thumbs-up quickly appeared.
Although it was just a fleeting flash, it was firmly rembered by Kal'tsit and Red.
'aning, she knows everything on the Lungn network?'
Looking at the White Tower reaching to the sky outside the window, then looking at Li Lin happily eating at the opposite table, Kal'tsit recalled her mission, feeling the burden on her shoulders beco even heavier.
