Strange Cards

Chapter 264 A failed life is still a life.

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Zhao Daoliu almost choked to death. It was only after Shi Yu used her A hand to conjure up an electric shock device and set it to the lowest setting that Zhao Daoliu regained his senses.

"You mean that old bastard Fengchuan traded two bags of snacks for the right to use this strategically important teleportation satellite?"

No.

Shi Yu took two car keys out of her pocket and waved them.

"The Hunter gave me all three of his most expensive sports cars. I wrecked one of them during a test drive a couple of days ago, so I have two left."

"What a waste! What a waste!"

As Zhao Daoliu spoke, he knelt down on the ground and began to pound the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Shigure turned the stun gun to its maximum setting and pointed it at Zhao Daoliu.

"Are you alright, sir?"

"How about I get you a stun gun? I promise one shock will do the trick."

"Don't worry, the voltage isn't high."

"The maximum voltage is only 25 volts, not enough to electrocute a fool."

Just as Shigure was about to shove the stun gun down, a clear female voice rang out.

"What are you doing, Grandpa?"

A petite figure in a white coat ran over from a distance and helped Zhao Daoliu up.

Zhao Daoliu was still sobbing uncontrollably, pointing at Shi Yu as he spoke.

"He...he..."

"What's wrong with him, Grandpa? Tell me!"

"You want me to cause trouble for someone? You should at least give me a reason."

"The people on the other side are tall and strong, do you really want your own granddaughter to go up and deliver them?"

"Well...."

Shi Yu looked at the grandfather and grandson and quietly moved closer to Guan Yundao.

"Who is this little girl? Does this satellite launch base employ child labor?"

"Her? A child laborer?"

Guan Yun pointed at the girl supporting Zhao Daoliu and raised his voice slightly.

"Zhao Qingling is already twenty-nine this year. This old woman is eleven years older than you and is almost thirty."

"I'm only twenty-five this year. Are you implying that I look much older than her?"

Shi Yu didn't want to admit it, but her body language betrayed her by nodding.

Guan Yun, annoyed that Shi Yu was nodding vigorously, gave her a sharp rap on the head, his voice filled with gritted teeth.

"That's because of that bastard, the boss."

"Other bases have at least two or three research hunters, while the northern base has a full four if I remember correctly."

"My mother single-handedly carried the banner of scientific research at the entire Southern Base. At that time, things were very busy, and I was doing several jobs by myself."

"Later, I had some free time, and the bosses were so busy that they forgot about recruiting research hunters."

"Before you came, I lived my whole life on thin ice."

"Stop pretending, Doctor."

Shi Yu interrupted Guan Yun's performance in a bad mood, and said in a light tone.

"Several of your projects were put on hold because Yu Yan invited you out for late-night snacks, and I was the one who ended up finishing them."

"I don't usually play video games much. Most of the time, unless I'm in a fight, I'm doing research."

At this moment, Zhao Qingling looked at the two people standing in front of her and quickly recognized Guan Yun.

"Guan Yun?"

You've arrived?

"They're here. We have to keep an eye on this satellite launch, right?"

"And who is this handsome young man...?"

Zhao Qingling looked at Shi Yu beside her, and Shi Yu nodded.

"Hello, senior."

"I am Shigure, who recently joined the Hunters, and I can be considered a semi-research Hunter."

"Today I'm here with Dr. Guan Yun to attend the launch ceremony of the satellite."

Guan Yun looked at Shi Yu, who had a humble expression, and suddenly added a sentence.

"This satellite was conceived, designed, and built by this kid himself; the credit is basically all his."

"I only assisted a few times and made a few revisions to the plan. This kid is practically an all-rounder among the Hunters."

"You're the chief designer of the satellite? Hello, hello, hello."

After wiping her hands on her white coat, Zhao Qingling reached out and grasped Shi Yu's hand, which Shi Yu symbolically shook before withdrawing.

"Hello, Senior Zhao."

"I have long admired your name."

"No, no, no, no."

Zhao Qingling tidied her messy hair a little and then smiled.

"Compared to us guys who have been doing research for so long, we're not even as good as you, a newbie who just joined the research field not long ago."

"Your satellite can even be described as a product ahead of its time. You truly deserve the title of genius that Guan Yun spoke of."

"I can't live up to the title of genius."

"I'm just a fool who prefers to think."

"Excessive modesty can just be arrogance."

Zhao Qingling quickly carried her grandfather downstairs and then walked back to the two of them.

"Let's go to the launch observation deck and wait for the satellite launch."

"Because you invented the satellite transmission method, many places now want to recruit you, Shigure."

"We aerospace enthusiasts would love to capture you, after all, you're like an inexhaustible treasure trove."

The three walked to the railing and gently placed their hands on it.

Soon after, other researchers in white coats arrived at the observation deck, where they quietly waited for the satellite to launch.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingling looked at the huge satellite carried on the rocket and murmured something.

"Can I ask you a question, Shigure?"

"Please tell me, I will answer anything you know."

"What I'm trying to say is, if there are geniuses like you, what can ordinary researchers like us do?"

"Geniuses walk among the stars, while we ordinary people can hardly catch a glimpse of starlight in our entire lives."

"I started researching spaceflight equipment here after graduating from university at the age of 22, and it has been seven years now."

"I also improved the materials of the spacesuit, and I was overjoyed when the certificate was issued."

"But later Guan Yun told me that someone who had just joined the Hunters had developed a teleportation satellite, and it was a real teleportation satellite."

"My first thought was that it was impossible, unless the person who developed the satellite teleportation method was a well-established scientist who was invited to join the Hunters."

"But reality hit me hard. Guan Yun told me that it was you who was only eighteen years old when you came up with it."

"You've only been with the Hunters for six months; my eleven years of hard work can't even compare to your six months."

"Sister Qingling, you're wrong about that."

"If you think that failing in scientific research is a failure, then I would tell you that a failed life is still a life, and you have the right to experience it to the end."

"Mediocre people can hardly keep up with geniuses."

"But what if mediocre people dedicate their entire lives to this research...."

"Isn't that also a dazzling star?"
