The Ninth Secret Bureau

v5 Chapter 3: Schrodinger's fruit

"Chen Xian, I think twice. I am very happy to communicate in this way without meeting with you. To be honest, I still hate you because you have no vision at all. As the head of the scientific research department, I ask for it. You came to the capital to let us study... Why didn't you come here!"

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm angry when I say it!"

"The Jiulingshan alien case is a special case. The investigation department verified that the threat of this case is extremely high. Once the abnormal object gets out of control, it will endanger the lives and property of millions of people... Since the establishment of the Secret Service, this case The level of threat is only nine, so Chen Xian, you have merit, and it is a great merit, so you deserve a reward!"

Seeing this, Chen Xian's brows twitched faintly.

What does Chang Sansi talk about?

It's like an old prostitute in a kiln giving a reward to the young lady. What does it mean to deserve a reward?

Although the work done this time is really good, but what you say...

"What's the matter?" Huo Fatty asked curiously. Seeing that Chen Xian's expression was something wrong, he suddenly became puzzled. According to Chen Xian's meritorious service this time, writing to him must be a compliment to him. You have to sing praises to him, and Chen Xian happens to be the kind who likes to listen to good things.

Judging by his temperament, he should be very happy to see the letter from the headquarters. Why is he so sad now?

"nothing."

Chen Xian said, forcibly suppressing the urge to make complaints, and kept watching.

"This tree is annoying, right? I think too!"

"But no one spoke with it. It seemed too lonely. But once I talked to it, this stupid tree couldn't stop for three days and three nights. So I made a few intelligent robots in the laboratory. I accompany it to chat when I am young, but it’s a pity that those robots are too expensive to make. I wanted to send it to you in one piece... But it’s okay. I think you’re not talking, let it accompany you as much as possible. Change your temper a little bit."

"I'll tell you about this tree. I took its name. It's called a talking tree. Judging from its life form, it should be regarded as a unique kind of anomalous plant world. Life, we are still unable to determine how many years it has lived, but from the information obtained after some analysis...It should have been alive for more than two thousand years, but its memory is very chaotic... ...We don't have much effective information, so we can't find more evidence of its origin."

"Close to the subject, let me talk about the benefits it can bring you."

"This tree will bear fruit every once in a while, and the process of fruit ripening is very fast. It can be completed in only a few hours. There is no sign before it bears fruit. It will not bloom and does not need to be pollinated and fertilized. Sometimes it will bear fruit every few days, sometimes months or even more than a year...At present, we still can’t control the time of its results. External intervention is almost ineffective, so you don’t have to think about it. Go to fertilize."

"It will only bear one fruit at a time, and each time it bears fruit, the effect is different."

"Some fruits have a strong effect of stimulating cell activity, and some fruits can greatly increase the body's self-healing speed. According to its own words, in the vague memory, it remembers that it once had a fruit that made people eat it. The fruit of becoming a fairy....... I personally think that it is bragging, because it has produced waste fruits that have no effect six times. The fruit that keeps hiccups, the fruit that can make you blind for a short time..."

"But I have to say that every result of it is a surprise, I believe you will experience it soon!"

"In the end...you really don't plan to come to the capital to let me study it? I can reimburse you for travel expenses!"

After reading the last line, Chen Xian silently folded the letter paper and put it back into the envelope.

Although everyone was very curious about what was written in the letter, because the letter was not small, they would not dare to read it even if Chen Xian let them see it without the author's permission.

Secret Bureau, Scientific Research Department, Think twice often.

Compared with the combat departments like the Detection Department and the Armed Forces Department, Chang Sansi's deterrent power is not small in the alien circle. Even in the eyes of some smart people, Chang Sansi is much more powerful than other ministers... .. The Minister of Flowing Water, he often thinks twice, this is not a joke!

"What does the letter say?" Lu Yisheng approached curiously. Although he dared not read the content of the letter directly, he still had the courage to ask from Chen Xian's mouth!

"This tree will bear fruit, and it will bear fruit every once in a while. The time of fruiting is uncontrollable, and the effect of the fruit is different every time. It does bear fruit of flesh and bones, but... In many cases, it will bear fruit that is useless."

Hearing this, Lu Yisheng was even more curious.

Useless fruit?

Is it possible to accomplish nothing?

Can only eat a taste?

"What is a useless fruit?!" The little tree said. It felt that Chen Xian's words were insulting it. Even if it was life-threatening to refute, it still decided to defend its dignity, "The fruit I bear is useful. You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

"The letter says that it has eaten fruits that can kill people, can make people blind for a short time, and can make people hiccup..." Chen Xian began to give examples calmly.

"Doesn't it all work... Listen to me sly to you... No, listen to me to explain to you!!"

"You continue to argue, I'm listening."

"..."

Perhaps it is because I feel the loss of the little tree, Xu Yanan and Muhe on the side suddenly overflowed with sympathy. After all, the voice of this tree is the same as that of a child. If you don’t see it but listen...anyone can do it. I think Chen Xian is bullying a child.

"Actually, those fruits are okay. It's fine if you don't eat them for the enemy!" Xu Yanan comforted.

"That's not the same poison." Chen Xian looked at the tree with disgust. "There are some combat toxins in our department that can be purchased internally, and they have more direct effects than those fruits."

"Oh, don't say that, I feel it is about to cry..."

"Let it cry, cry happily, just as watering yourself."

"......"

really.

Chen Xian is a model among straight men.

Although this tree is not amazing in appearance, it is actually quite cute, at least in Xu Yanan's opinion, but Chen Xian doesn't eat this set at all. Seeing that he really dislikes this tree..... .It feels troublesome to use it as firewood.

"Actually, I can't blame me...I can't control the effectiveness of the fruit...I can't help it just what it looks like when it grows..."

The little tree continued to explain, and suddenly it flashed, as if thinking of something.

"Yes! This is Schrödinger's fruit! If you don't eat it! You will never know what benefit one bite will bring you!"

"If you insult Schrodinger again, I will burn you as firewood." The folk scientist Lu Yisheng couldn't help but speak.

At this time Fatty Huo answered the phone suddenly, as if there was something in the Logistics Department that needed him to deal with.

"Okay, you guys rest first, I still have something to do."

"Okay." Chen Xian nodded slightly, remembering that Fatty Huo had taken a lot of effort these days, and felt a little ashamed, "Uncle Huo, I really trouble you these few days... .I will invite you to dinner later."

"polite."

Huo Fatty smiled, and before leaving, he reminded Chen Xian that the mission reward given by Jiuling Mountain this time was not limited to this tree. In addition to the large amount of cash rewards, there were also internal points rewards.

"Point rewards?"

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and said to his heart how he had forgotten this!

I remember that Fatty Huo once said that every time he completes an abnormal case, he will get a certain point reward, and these points are not exchangeable with money....... The points can be redeemed in the internal store of the Secret Bureau. Every piece of the object is called a rare treasure, and none of them are ordinary goods that can be seen casually on the market!

"Boss, I should also have points rewards?"

"should have......."

Chen Xian subconsciously took out his mobile phone and opened the Secret Keeper app, remembering that he had more than 1,000 points, and the items that he could see were at least 6,000 points or more in order to redeem it!

"If you have enough points... buy that thing for Muhe..."
