Chapter 2669 Remember, never smoke.
Xiao Jiu said, "This tube is filled with sleeping gas. When you want to use it, just stick it into the room, pull the tab, and blow it in."
"Remember, never smoke it."
"He inhaled it, putting the sleeping gas inside into his mouth."
Jiang Wan nodded, indicating that she understood.
He then asked, "How long will it take for someone to collapse after this stuff is blown inside?"
Xiao Jiu replied, "About two or three minutes."
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, thinking: This thing is pretty fast, but I wonder if it works well.
As Xiao Jiu was about to leave, Jiang Wan called him back and asked in a low voice, "Are you a member of the rebel army?"
Xiao Jiu paused for a moment. Since she had already become a contact person, what else was there to hide?
So he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Wan then asked, "So, we'll contact you when we need to communicate with the rebels in the future?"
Xiao Jiu hummed in agreement.
Jiang Wan continued, "So from the very beginning, you were a spy sent by the rebels to my side."
Xiao Jiu shook her head and said, "No, no, I am a spy sent by the rebels to the island lord's mansion."
"However, I think you guys are pretty good people, and you're even going against Shen Du, which is why I told our boss about you."
"Otherwise, when our boss catches you, he won't just let you go; he'll kill you outright."
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment. The truth was a bit harsh, and she didn't really want to hear it.
So he waved his hand, indicating that he could get lost.
Xiao Jiu knew that Jiang Wan definitely didn't like him right now.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a handful of milk candies, placed them on the table, and pushed them towards Jiang Wan, saying:
"I went through a lot of trouble to get this, I think you'll like it."
"Here, take it, you can use it to beat your teeth when you're bored!" he said, then turned and left.
Jiang Wan looked at the milk candies on the table and twitched her lips.
This is the classic White Rabbit milk candy from China. I wonder where he got it from?
However, it's easy to tamper with milk candy; nobody knows if there's anything else added to it.
So even though she really wanted to eat it, she didn't dare to.
She cut the candy into a piece and set it aside, thinking that it might come in handy someday.
Around 3 p.m., someone came looking for Jiang Wan.
Shen Du invited her to dinner.
Jiang Wan was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Qiao Liancheng.
Qiao Liancheng shrugged at her, indicating that he didn't know why.
Dinner was at 6:00 PM. Before Jiang Wan arrived, Qiao Liancheng said:
"I'm going out for a walk to find out some information."
Jiang Wan nodded in agreement.
During this time, Jiang Wan wrote some more code in the room.
At 6 p.m. sharp, Qiao Liancheng had not returned.
However, the person who came to invite Jiang Wan arrived.
To Jiang Wan's surprise, the person who came to invite her was actually Xiao Qi.
Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then followed Xiao Qi.
Before leaving, he still left some information for Qiao Liancheng.
The two quickly arrived at Shen Du's office, and this time when they entered, they saw that there were many papers in his office.
They were everywhere—on desks, chairs, the floor, almost everywhere.
Jiang Wan looked at Shen Du with some surprise. Shen Du looked excited, and his eyes were almost bloodshot.
He said to Jiang Wan, "Come here and see my masterpiece."
Jiang Wan was somewhat suspicious, but she still walked forward.
Shen Du showed Jiang Wan a blueprint for a machine, but Jiang Wan couldn't understand it at all.
However, Shen Du introduced it with great enthusiasm, saying that once this thing was made, it could be used to mine some mineral deposits underwater.
Jiang Wan asked him, "Are you referring to the seabed when you say 'under the sea'?"
Shen Du nodded and said, "Yes, it's at the bottom of the sea."
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Countless questions were already forming in my mind; it seemed that the mining they were talking about really was underwater mining.
I just don't know where the mine is from.
Seeing that Shen Du had already asked this question, Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Could it be that there are minerals on the seabed around here? What kind of minerals? Gold or silver?"
Shen Du shook his head and said, "There's no mine. I just thought of it."
"You don't know, do you? I studied mechanical manufacturing in college. A couple of days ago, a flash of inspiration came to me and suddenly I had this prototype."
"Then I worked on it for several days in a row, and finally I managed to get it working."
Jiang Wan deliberately tried to discourage him, saying, "Let's not even talk about whether this thing can be made. Even if it is, it won't be of any use to you on Devil's Island!"
"Don't tell me you're planning to dig a hole beneath Devil's Island to mine?"
Shen Du stood there stunned upon hearing this.
Only then did she realize that Jiang Wan was unaware of his secret.
Logically speaking, once Jiang Wan arrived at Devil's Island, she could never leave again, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to tell her. But now he suddenly didn't want to say anything.
Especially when facing Jiang Wan's bright eyes.
He felt that if he spoke out, he might really be doomed.
So he snorted and said, "Don't try to trick me into saying anything. I was just saying it casually."
"Can't I just make it and use it as a toy?"
Jiang Wan pouted and said, "Fine, you're rich, so you can do whatever you want. But what's the point of bringing me here?"
Shen Du fell silent.
He actually wanted to show off to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan is able to make money by creating game software.
Even if he didn't care too much, he had to admit that this woman was very capable.
So ultimately, it all comes down to men's competitive spirit.
Shen Du regained his senses and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so he waved his hand and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Forget it, you don't need to eat anymore, you can go back first."
Jiang Wan was displeased upon hearing this: "Are you treating me like a hot pot?"
"You said you'd treat me to dinner, so I didn't even cook dinner and came here hoping to freeload. But you told me it was all over and just let me leave. No way! You have to feed me properly today."
Shen Du was still excited. He hadn't slept for several days and nights and was quite tired. It was precisely because this invention had excited him so much that he couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.
I originally wanted to share with someone, but after Jiang Wan's few words dampened my enthusiasm, I lost all interest.
However, for Jiang Wan, inviting the gods was easy, but sending them away was difficult.
Shen Du asked angrily, "What do you plan to do?"
What do I have to do for you to obediently go back?
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "I'd like to find a few books to read here."
Shen Du was speechless. He thought she wanted something else, but it turned out she just wanted a few books.
So he waved his hand and said, "Sure, go ahead and find someone."
Jiang Wan said, "When are you usually in the study? If I need to finish reading and then ask you to come and exchange the books, I have to time it right. I haven't seen you around for a while now."
Shen Du said nonchalantly, "I'll give you the key. You can come whenever you want."
Jiang Wan asked in surprise, "This is your study, aren't you afraid I'll steal the things inside?"
