Chapter 113 Silver Spoon Carves Old Times

On July 7, Mu Zhengguang held a meeting in the abandoned school building, after which he and his parents returned to town. Xu Ying did not go with him.

That afternoon, Duan Siyuan wrote a work report and sent it to Mu Zhengguang.

July 7th is Mu Zhengguang’s sixteenth birthday.

Xu Ying came to his house early in the morning carrying a black canvas bag, and the two of them went into Mu Zhengguang's bedroom for a secret talk.

Xu Ying handed him the bag and said, "The photo album is inside. Do you want to take a look first?"

"it is good."

The first page of the album is a photo of the two of us. This picture was taken on the last birthday. In the blink of an eye, the years passed, but fortunately, when I opened my eyes, the old friend was still by my side, and he looked and acted similar to the old time.

People's memories will automatically filter out many things, and things that are not important will not be forgotten. For example, if you remember what your parents looked like when they were young, you will forget that they are aging with time. In other words, if you remember the good things, you will forget the bad things, or vice versa.

The silver key cannot stop the automatic selection of memory, but the user of the silver key has the additional right to choose. At this time last year, Xu Yingze's mind was mostly on the asymptote, so it is reasonable that he could not remember the group photo. If it were not for the silver key to read the past, some things, once missed, would not only never come back, but would even disappear completely from people's memory.

Mu Zhengguang was deeply touched. He stared at the photo for a long time and said, "I had forgotten that I was wearing this dress that day."

"You were wearing pajamas yesterday, but you changed into a gray-blue short-sleeved T-shirt on your birthday. I can't remember it either, but luckily I have the silver spoon. You don't seem to have changed much this year compared to last year."

"Yeah, didn't you say that the youthful appearance is forever? If it changes, then it's not permanent, right?"

"I hope it won't change."

The second page of the album shows two jellyfish, Fireworks and Sea Moon. I don’t know when it started, but jellyfish became their special decoration. They carve jellyfish on their clothes or use jellyfish to fight. Such a fate can be called wonderful.

Page 3, golden hourglass.

Page 4, purple and black four-leaf windmill.

Page 5, peach-colored hourglass outline.

Page 6, pure white windmill axis.

On page six, there is a silver key.

Page 7, run the silver key.

Page 8, Golden Step-Shaking Hairpin.

Page 9, Bamboo Thorns.

How much does a piece of thin paper weigh? How long does it take to turn a page in a photo album?
Time flies, and the past will never come back. In the blink of an eye, the story is different again.

Page 10, the first time they met. At that time, Xu Ying was wearing a green-yellow sleeveless gauze dress, with a ponytail, and thin arms and legs, shining in the light.

Mu Zhengguang looked at her childhood appearance and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed. Time flies so fast."

There were many people in the photo of their first meeting. Xu Yingze's eyes fell on classmate Guang from many years ago: "Yeah, it was very fast."

Papers circulate, the past continues, and people who grow up become closer and closer.

Xu Ying uses a page of the yearbook as the end of childhood, after which the picture of youth unfolds. Among the many past events, new faces emerge.

Mu Zhengguang saw the junior high school graduation photo. Everyone was wearing colorful clothes, squatting or standing, and their former smiles were clearly visible.

Time came to high school.

The second to last page shows the scene of the two people hugging each other.

Mu Zhengguang stared at the page for a long time, immersed in it and in a daze.

On the last page, there is a blue note.

It only took a few minutes to turn from the first page to the last page. In these few minutes, the auxiliary variables of the two people were settled and completely perfect. There was no need to increase them. The auxiliary variables were full and the power was perfect, like a ray of light illuminating the dark and empty chaos. People walking in the chaos traced the light source to see the rebirth of the world. This experience was unforgettable for Mu Zhengguang: "You also feel it, right? The improvement of the auxiliary variables."

Xu Ying nodded and answered briskly, "Yeah. The auxiliary variable improvement is different from the one in the barbecue restaurant."

"That time it might have been some other form of reinforcement."

"We can't use the second enhancement method, but we still have the third one, which is not bad either."

Mu Zhengguang summoned an hourglass. The hourglass appeared. At first it was only the size of an eyeball, and then it quickly "expanded" until it was the size of a human.

"If a second-level Asymptote intends to defend, the kitchen knife cannot break their skin. But if it is a physical kitchen knife of the second-level Asymptote, it will be different. A giant hourglass, both offensive and defensive. The hourglass shrinks, making it easier to hide."

"The windmill should also change in the same way. I won't try. You once wrote the words on the note to me. Now it's my turn to write them to you."

The blue note read: Although the error rate of DNA replication is about 10^-9...but in a culture containing 10^9 cells, millions of mutations may occur due to errors in DNA replication, which may include thousands of variant forms of E. coli genes.

Mu Zhengguang looked at this passage and thought: "This sentence..."

Xu Ying pointed at the word "maybe" with her right index finger: "There is an invisible force that guides DNA replication errors, gene mutations, and biological variations, but it does not guide evolution. This force determines the existence and disappearance, operation and stagnation of all things in the world. The continuation and development of all things are related to it, including human life and death, human destiny, who we meet every day, and what scenery we see."

"Sure enough, you thought of it too." Mu Zhengguang grabbed her finger, "He controls genetic mutations, sets order for everything in the world, makes the story begin, drives the story forward, and makes the story end. Everything is him."

"As it should be."

"Yeah. Thanks."

"You're welcome. Can uncle and aunt's wishes be fulfilled?"

"Not sure. Mom and Dad's wish is much more troublesome than I thought. It won't be realized in a short time."

Mu Zhengguang asked his parents about this yesterday, and roughly guessed the origin of their asymptotes and found out their wishes. But the wishes of these two adults were really inappropriate. They seemed simple, but they were actually very complicated, and contained many conditions, giving people a feeling that they would never be realized in their lifetime.

This was within his expectations, because the asymptotes of these two people were extremely ordinary, which showed that their wishes did not meet the conditions for the formation of a powerful force. But before yesterday, he still had fantasies, thinking that although their wishes had not been fulfilled, now that he had abilities far beyond ordinary people, could he easily help them realize their wishes?

The answer is no.

During this process, Mu Zhengguang keenly realized that the desires and wishes of "dark" watching were not the same as people thought. Judging from the wishes of his parents, their desires were not weak, but their asymptotic rates were not very good.

Xu Ying was a little worried: "Then we can only wait a little longer."

Neither of them got a precise answer to the question of where their parents were going. They both thought: this matter cannot be rushed or forced, human power is always insignificant and unworthy of mention in the face of fate, and whether the wishes of parents can be fulfilled does not depend on how much effort the children put in, but whether the wishes of parents themselves are endowed with the attribute of being achievable.

Mu Zhengguang closed the photo album: "Helping them realize their wishes is not the ultimate goal, just like the asymptote is a tool to realize wishes. Realizing wishes is to become stronger, and becoming stronger is to live better. If the wish really cannot be realized, then try another way."

"Having said that... we're done talking about our business. Shall I send a message to Xu Wanyang and ask her to come celebrate your birthday as well?"

"Wait a minute. I just thought of something: strong desire is a necessary condition for excellent asymptotic rate. However, the desire here may not refer to material desire, but to some ideas that have nothing to do with material things."

Mu Zhengguang's statement was not objective. Material desires could also create ancient beings.

Mu Zhengguang did not have complete information, and the conclusions he drew from the people and things around him were not necessarily consistent with the facts. When he said "maybe it's not about material desires", he was not sure whether this statement was correct. However, chatting with Ying did not require every sentence to be accurate, it was enough to just express your opinion truthfully.

Xu Ying was not sure whether this statement was correct, but she was willing to use these speculations to compare herself. She changed the subject slightly and said frankly: "My desire should still be very strong."

Mu Zhengguang was stunned for a moment: The desire you mentioned seems to be different from the desire I mentioned. The desire you mentioned does not seem to be a necessary condition for excellent asymptotic rate.

As he was thinking, he saw the sincere and passionate eyes of his classmates, and suddenly he understood the true meaning of this desire.

He whispered, "Me too."

Xu Ying saw his nervousness and panic, thinking that it was too early to tell you about this now. She stared at his eyes blankly, as if she didn't understand, and then nodded seriously: "Yeah, the same. If everything is fine, I'll send a message to Xu Wanyang."

"it is good."
