Chapter 15 Treating the Manuscripts as Garbage
In the evening, the smell of dinner filled the entire apartment.
Reidon sat with the others.
This time Nyx did not ask Reidon for help.
When he walked out of the room, the food was already ready on the table.
Reidon felt a little embarrassed, as he had been studying in the room.
Time had passed unknowingly.
Looking at the table full of food, Reidon could hardly believe it.
He couldn’t believe that one day he could live such a happy life – living with friends in a homely room.
When it was time to eat, there was a table full of food.
“Hurry up, why are you still standing there? Come here to eat.”
Nancy called Reidon when she saw him standing still. She even pulled out the chair for him.
“Come here. Sit down.”
Reidon did not refuse and sat down at the table with them.
This was the second meal they had together, but Reidon felt they were as warm as his old friends.
They were like his families.
There was no alcohol on the table.
Reidon had been tortured by alcohol for the past few days. Seeing that they did not drink, he felt relieved.
They ate the pretty delicious food together.
Nyx suddenly asked, “Oh, Reidon. You’ve been in the room all day. What are you writing? I didn’t see you come out.”
When she said this, everyone looked at Reidon and kept silent.
There was no sound in the room suddenly.
Even the surveillance equipment in the room pointed at Reidon, wanting to hear what he would say.
It was as if time had stopped. They all stopped eating and chewing.
Everyone was waiting for Reidon’s answer.
Reidon was also silent. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell them. He just didn’t know how to say.
His research was too whimsical. Even if he told them, they would only think that he was telling a joke.
Who would believe that someone was researching cold nuclear fusion in such a tiny room?
At this moment, Reidon thought of a very good excuse.
He looked up and saw that the three people were all looking at him. He felt a little scared.
“Um…”
Seeing Reidon like this, they acted as if nothing had happened and began to eat.
It was as if they didn’t care his answer at all and it was just a casual question.
“I’m actually doing a part-time job, but I haven’t learned it well yet, so I’m practicing inside.”
Reidon replied.
Although the three of them had been eating, their attention had been on Reidon. Not only they, but the 3,000 agents who were watching outside had their attention on Reidon as well.
Hearing Reidon’s answer, all of them were very disappointed.
It was obviously just an excuse.
Reidon did not tell the truth.
But this was also expected. After all, few people could understand the true meaning of what Reidon was doing.
Even his manuscripts could only be understood by top scientists.
Something like this would definitely not be disclosed to newly met roommates.
Now that they knew the answer, it would be inappropriate for them to continue asking so as to avoid arousing suspicion.
After dinner, Reidon helped wash the dishes.
Then, he was away from them and returned to his room. He started his research again.
Looking at the manuscripts scattered on the table, Reidon scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.
“Strange. This time I obtained the research points too slowly. After having been researched for an entire afternoon, I have no clue at all.”
He sighed. It seemed to be difficult to obtain the reward of 60,000 dollars.
However, he didn’t give up and continued studying until 2 pm.
In the end, Reidon couldn’t hold back his tiredness and went to sleep.
…
At 7 a.m. in the next day.
Reidon’s alarm clock went off. Then he slowly got out of bed.
Today was the day that Reidon was going to attend the reunion. He thought that he should prepare a set of good-looking clothes.
The clothes that he had worn in the past were very old and tattered. He really could not wear them in the occasion.
If he wore those clothes to attend the reunion, he would definitely feel mortified.
When he opened the door, he found that the other three had also woken up.
They washed up together in an orderly manner, as if they had lived together for many years.
Reidon did not pay much attention. He greeted them.
“Good morning!”
“Good morning!”
When they finished washing up, they saw Reidon on the sofa and greeted him with a smile.
“Good morning!”
Then, Reidon went into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, he changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
Coincidentally, when he went out, the other three also walked out.
“You guys are going to work too?”
“Yeah, because we’re in the same company, we go out together. We also split the taxi fees.”
Reidon did not expect that these rich people would have taken a taxi even if they went to work.
The monthly taxi fees would be over a thousand, and even if it was split equally, it was not cheap.
He really did not know their income, but it was very impolite to ask about it rashly.
So, Reidon could only hide the surprise in his heart.
“Let’s go downstairs together.”
“Okay.”
Reidon took two steps forward and suddenly remembered something. Then, he said embarrassedly,
“Wait a minute. The trash in my room is full. I have to take it out and throw it away.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into his room.
The three of them saw Reidon walk into his room. They exchanged a look and pressed the hidden buttons on their bodies.
This was the signal to prepare for action.
Reidon came to his desk and looked at the pile of waste paper that he had used. He sighed deeply.
He had to throw away the trash every day, or the manuscripts would soon fill up his room.
He took out a black plastic bag and stuffed all the scrap paper in.
It only took half a minute for Reidon to come out with two bags of garbage.
He walked to the kitchen and threw all the leftovers into the garbage bag together with the manuscripts.
The three of them looked at Reidon’s actions with fear. He really thought the manuscripts were garbage!
