Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#766 - Cultivation without time

Indeed, as Liang Yue agreed to the contents of the few documents that Meng Xiaoyu had presented, intending to establish the entire virtual technology production line in China, and signed his name on the documents.

This young lady quickly took out another few sheets of paper from the folder on her lap and silently pushed them in front of him.

"《Letter of Intent Regarding the Spaceship Cooperation Project》~"

Looking at the title at the top of the document, Liang Yue glanced at Meng Xiaoyu across from him with a meaningful look, while the woman was tightly pursing her lips, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on his reaction.

Her expression faintly carried a hint of determination…

As if to firmly remember every expression and action of the person in front of her, and then carefully ponder them, and make the fastest response.

It made him laugh.

"Tsk~ It seems that the country has made a great determination this time, wanting to do all three projects together?"

After briefly browsing the contents and clauses of the document, Liang Yue looked at Meng Xiaoyu with a smile on his face.

"This matter concerns the country's major strategic transformation. Whether it succeeds or fails, the impact will be significant. In fact, when the leadership decided to dedicate a city specifically for experimenting with and observing this series of virtual world technologies, the country had already run out of options. Therefore, your decision now is very important, please consider it carefully.

Although the cooperative projects on the clauses seem to be dominated by the state, taking the lion's share, the relevant benefits you can obtain afterward are definitely not small."

"Hmm, rare~ Hehe."

Gently shaking his head, Liang Yue casually flipped the document to the last page, and then, with a look of emotion, signed his name on this letter of intent for cooperation.

"You signed it just like that? You agree to the cooperation content above?"

"Yeah."

Liang Yue put the pen in his hand aside and replied.

"Aren't you going to consider it anymore? What you just gave up was a huge… um, you can't regret it later!"

Meng Xiaoyu stared at him earnestly, her eyes filled with surprise and almost suppressed excitement.

"Regret what? I don't rely on this to make money. Besides, as a cultivator like me, would I care about such a small thing? Just consider it supporting national construction."

Saying that, Liang Yue gently pushed the document in front of her, leaning back on the sofa.

"You're really generous!"

Hearing his words, Meng Xiaoyu hurriedly took the document back into the folder, looking delighted, like a kitten that had stolen fish.

Afterward, a sense of loss unconsciously arose in her heart.

She had expected to have a long bargaining session, verbal sparring, and back-and-forth negotiations, but now it was achieved so easily.

This made all the prepared speeches, conceived scripts, and role-playing performance plans useless.

On the other hand, Aunt Liu remained calm and composed throughout, seemingly not surprised by Liang Yue's decision.

"When are you going to Xandar again?"

After solemnly putting the folder in the handbag next to her, Meng Xiaoyu, who had completed the task of this trip, finally relaxed, picked up the spiritual tea on the table with a contented look, and took a sip.

Unconsciously, she crossed her legs, took a few snacks from the dessert plate, and asked him while enjoying them leisurely.

"I'll go there in the next few days. Since I came back from there last time, I've only been there once in between. The shop inside probably needs restocking again."

Hearing this, Liang Yue thought for a while, and then looked at her casually and said.

"What, do you want to go with me too?"

"Of course! Several technical instruments and special experimental samples that I liked there last time couldn't be brought back. Going there this time shouldn't be a problem, right~"

"Do you have Xandar money?"

"…Use yours!"

"Dream on."

"Aiya~ Anyway, it's all Xiaowu who's busy there, and you haven't put in much effort, have you~"

"Compared to our Earth currency, Xandar's star coins are much more valuable. That's a universal currency recognized throughout the galaxy."

"Hmph!"

"Oh, are you angry?"

Hearing this, Meng Xiaoyu didn't answer, but glanced at him, transferring him with a strange smile on her face.

At this time, Aunt Liu suddenly interjected, with a smile on her face, putting the teacup on the coffee table. Seeing this, Liang Yue picked up the kettle next to him and refilled it.

"She's been in seclusion for cultivation recently, and I don't know when she'll come out again."

"That person, um~ Maybe her life pursuits are already different from ours. The way you are now gives me the feeling that you're becoming more and more like your mother."

"Cultivation has no years, after reaching a certain realm, a period of seclusion and cultivation can be decades. In this case, our need for some external changes and material things will naturally be lower."

Hearing this, Liang Yue couldn't help but shrug.

There's no way around it, reality is like this. Even though his own aptitude can be described as outstanding, and he can often master cultivation techniques without a teacher, the necessary time consumption is still indispensable.

Especially in recent years, his seclusion lasts for ten years or so. If it weren't for the public world and the difference in the flow of time, I'm afraid the current reality would have been a scene of things changing and people being different.

"Then how old are you this year?"

Meng Xiaoyu looked at him curiously and asked.

"If you count the real time course, I must be sixty or seventy years old."

Liang Yue thought for a while, and then replied with a look of emotion.

"Ah? But on you~"

"Cultivation, eternal youth and longevity, isn't that already possible with technology now?"

"But your personality doesn't seem like that of an old man of that age."

"It's normal. Most of the time I've experienced has actually been spent in seclusion, cultivating or studying techniques. I haven't really experienced many people or things, and I haven't interacted much."

"Oh~"

…

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was time for dinner, the butler next to them had already prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.

They used high-quality ingredients from the Outpost World, rich in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the cooking method was nothing special, it couldn't preserve too much spiritual charm.

But in terms of taste alone, the skills of professional chefs in reality are not comparable to those of amateur players like Liang Yue and the group of young ladies at home.

The three of them naturally enjoyed the meal, leaving a fragrant aftertaste on their lips, and everyone was happy.

After sitting in the manor for a while, Meng Xiaoyu and Aunt Liu were directly sent back to Yanjing, to one of Aunt Liu's residences, by Liang Yue through a space gate.

Although it was only noon on the East Coast of the United States, it was already midnight in China, but the two people with arduous tasks could no longer care about these things.

Although Liang Yue signed the document relatively casually, it was of great significance to the country, related to the overall development strategy of the entire country and nation.

Such a major event should naturally be implemented as soon as possible, so that they can feel at ease.
