Volume 1 Chapter 65 (1/2)

Vivian’s talent

Being lost in negotiations with Count Sean, naturally a long time passed. When Xu Yi returned home, the moon was already in the middle of the sky and it was close to midnight.

When he opened the door to his house, Vivian wasn’t waiting at the door like usual. The house was completely dark and silent, not containing a single sound.

“She probably couldn’t wait and went to sleep.” Xu Yi secretly thought.

He took off his shoes and entered the room, but he was surprised to find that there was someone lying on the table in the living room.

Using the moonlight to see, who else would it be if not Vivian?

Looking at the table, the dishes on it hadn’t been touched at all. She must have made the meal a long time ago and had been waiting for Xu Yi to come back to eat, but she must have fallen asleep while waiting.

Looking at Vivian’s little sleeping face, there was an apologetic feeling that passed through Xu Yi’s heart.

Because Viscount Leslie had suddenly contacted him to go to the City Lord Manor for dinner, he didn’t have time to contact Vivian and made this little girl wait for him the entire time.

“I was talking with Leslie and Count Sean about freeing the production forces that I forgot about a little girl like Vivian in a small room like this, I really did go a bit overboard.” Xu Yi sighed as he shook his head. He leaned over to pick up Vivian.

Compare to how thin she was when Xu Yi bought her, although Vivian was still a bit slender, she had gotten a bit heavier, which made it a bit hard for Xu Yi to carry her.

This is because one, Vivian was currently in her growth spurt and two, the conditions in Xu Yi’s place was much better than being a slave under Viscount Leslie. This caused her body to quickly become stronger.

Other than putting on some weight, there were other parts of Vivian’s body that had begun to develop. When Xu Yi picked her up, he could feel the richness of certain parts of her body, causing him to become somewhat distracted.

It was a good thing Xu Yi wasn’t an impulsive young fellow in his teens. Even if he knew that Vivian wouldn’t dare reject him if he raised this request to her, he suppressed his desires and carried Vivian to her room to let her sleep.

Returning back to the living room, Xu Yi lit a candle.

As soon the candle was lit, Xu Yi suddenly seemed to have realized something and he hit his own head.

“Idiot, I always thought that there was a magic machine I should invent, but I had thrown away a premade thing in front of me. Hei, if I were to invent this thing, Heinz would definitely be very satisfied.”

Since he began studying magic machines, there were all kinds of ideas that came into Xu Yi’s head. Some could only be stored in Xu Yi’s head for now since the Sines Continent had a weak industrial system and some could be realized, so Xu Yi recorded them down to find a suitable time to release them.

Now that he had thought of this idea, Xu Yi followed his habit and took out the notebook he carried with him to write it down.

As soon as he sat down at the table, Xu Yi was surprised to find that there were several blueprints where Vivian had just been lying. There were also several pieces of paper scattered on the ground to the side.

Xu Yi took several pieces of paper to look over and he found that there were designs for all kinds of magic machines on them!

Xu Yi’s face sunk. These designs were the ones made occasionally when he was home, he never thought that Vivian’s memory was this outstanding. She had only watched from a side a few times and she could completely draw them.

These designs seemed quite normal, but they were actually the trade secrets of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. If these were to fall in the hands of the Leo Chamber of Commerce who also cared about the magic machines, it would create losses to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that were greater than losing the sales of several hundred magic machines.

Xu Yi thought about it and quickly ruled out the terrifying thought that Vivian was actually a business spy.

Since she was bought by Xu Yi, Vivian had almost never left his house and the only person she contacted outside was Still.

Still definitely wasn’t any kind of business spy, so even if Vivian wanted to do it, there weren’t enough conditions met to do it.

Moreover, Vivian’s status was only Xu Yi’s slave. According to the laws of the Lampuri Kingdom, no matter how Xu Yi treated her, there were no problems even if he killed her.

With Vivian’s personality, she didn’t have this courage.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi relaxed and seriously looked over the diagrams in his hand.

It had to be said, although Vivian couldn’t even read, she was quite skilled in drawing. These diagrams were no different from the ones Xu Yi drew at all.

Other than these diagrams, Vivian actually drew many complete drawings of magic machines.

Looking at it, it seemed like she had drawn the finished magic machine based on the designs.

Although the magic machines produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce were a bit different from these, they weren’t that much different in the end.

Even…...Xu Yi had to admit that if it was based purely on physical appearance, the magic machines Vivian drew was actually a bit more beautiful…...
