Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 124: Famous Watch Smashing
Subtitle of this chapter: I am a scientist! Well, I occasionally act as a magician.
"Mr. Major General, please wait a moment!"
Our Master Yuan would never admit failure. Although his theory is still full of flaws and he doesn't even have a safety trousers, he is different now...
He is the only spiritual mentor on the entire blue planet!
"Please listen to me..."
Yuan Yan stood up calmly and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen. Please don't misunderstand me. I am really not a psychic like Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin."
"I won't tell you that one of your dead relatives has buried a jar of gold somewhere and I'll tell you the exact location if you pay me. If I had that ability, I'd go dig it up myself."
"I can't cure hemophilia, or any other difficult disease. Even if Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower had known me a few months earlier, I would have been helpless against their son's scarlet fever. As for my own survival from sepsis, it was thanks to our 5,000-year-old Seresian medicine."
"I will not call myself an 'elder', a 'prophet', a 'god', a 'magician' from the East, etc. I only recognize one identity. That is..."
I have to admit that this master is indeed not as good as that "evil monk" in some aspects.
He tugged at his collar and said proudly, "Scientist!"
“Yes, I am a scientist.”
Well, now I'll try out my rhetoric on these people, just as a practice.
If he can't even pass this level, how can he fool an unparalleled genius, a suspected time traveler, a man who changed the world, and the greatest scientist of the 20th century?
"As a scientist, I must observe the universe, the world, society, and human beings, including myself, with a scientist's attitude."
"There are many things in this universe, this world, this society, and all of us humans that cannot be explained by current scientific theories. But this is not because science itself has limitations, but rather the limitations of scientific development."
"I call these phenomena that cannot be explained by current science as Beyond Science, or BS for short."
"Host, thank you."
"Master Ball, you're welcome."
Our Master Yuan said magnanimously: "Of course, even I can't understand BS, so I can't blame others for not understanding BS. But I have high hopes for the emerging quantum theory. Maybe a physicist like Mr. Einstein can come up with a scientific explanation."
Major Patton interrupted and asked, "Mr. Yuan, does this mean you will go to see Mr. Einstein?"
"That's right!" Yuan Yan said firmly, "I'm looking forward to meeting him."
Major General Connor couldn't help but ask, "So, Mr. Yuan, how are you going to prove the BS phenomenon to Mr. Einstein? Are you going to rely on that infant spirit?"
"This question..." Master Yuan hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Mr. Major General, I will perform a few magic tricks for him."
"magic?!"
"Yes!" Yuan Yan nodded and said, "I refuse to admit that I have supernatural powers. If you don't mind, you can also regard me as an amateur magician!"
"This...that..." When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
The Eisenhowers could not help but stand up and said, "But..."
"You two, there's nothing to worry about." Master Yuan said seriously, "If anyone asks, just tell them that what happened in the carriage today was just a harmless magic trick."
“Do you understand?”
Really, he is here to be a master of neoclassical liberalism, not to be Rasputin... Well, actually it's not bad if he can be one.
Anyway, the more he tried to hide this mysterious incident, the more , and finally people all over the world became more and more confused.
The couple looked at each other, both revealed a look of sudden enlightenment, and nodded vigorously, "Mr. Yuan, we understand."
They were deeply moved. This master from China was truly... scientific.
"Thank you, thank you for your understanding." Yuan Yan suddenly showed a look of relief.
He raised his hand to look at his Haute Horlogerie watch, then said to the crowd, "Since it's still early, why don't I show you a magic trick."
"Hmm..." Everyone looked at each other, and finally applauded together.
Miss Moman asked expectantly , "So, Boss, what 'magic' are you going to perform?"
Her boss smiled slightly, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Major General Connor's wrist and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Major General, but your watch is quite beautiful. It should also be a famous watch made by a watchmaker, right?"
Mr. Connor was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately replied: "Haha, Mr. Yuan has a good eye. This is the wedding anniversary gift that Virginia gave me last year. It is a watch made by Master Hao Lunshi himself!"
"Um..." Yuan Yan suddenly turned to Major Patton and said, "George, please bring a hammer."
"Hammer?!" The man was a little confused, then he ordered his servant to go outside and bring in a hammer.
At the same time, Master Yuan smiled at Fox Connor and said, "Mr. Major General, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"Of course." Mr. Connor nodded without hesitation.
Yuan Yan suddenly smiled more cheerfully and said, "Well, please take off this watch and let everyone see it."
Major General Connor really took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to everyone in the hall. After everyone looked at it, the watch returned to his hand.
He held up the watch and asked, "Mr. Yuan, do you want to see it?"
"No, I don't need it. Thank you..." At this time, Master Yuan took the hammer from the waiter and handed it to him, saying, "Mr. Major General, please use this hammer to smash your watch! By the way, it's best to wrap it with a handkerchief, otherwise it will be too troublesome to clean up later."
"Ah?!" Major General Connor took the hammer blankly and looked at Yuan Yanshu in a daze.
"Oh, Major General, you are reluctant to part with it? That's okay..." Master Yuan took off his watch and said, "I also happen to have a Haute Horlogerie watch. It was a Christmas gift from Mr. George Baker to me."
He put the watch on the coffee table and said generously: "If your watch is smashed and I can't fix it, I will give you this watch as compensation."
“Hahaha…” Major General Connor laughed and shook his head, “Since Mr. Yuan said so, I will really smash it!”
As he said that, he took out a handkerchief, wrapped his watch, placed it on the coffee table, and then raised the hammer in his hand...
“Bang… snap… snap… bang… snap…”
Major General Connor probably wanted to change a watch, so he knocked five times in a row. Everyone could see that the luxury watch in the handkerchief had been reduced to a pile of parts.
He pointed at the pile of parts and said, "Mr. Yuan, please!"
Our Master Yuan smiled brightly at the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, now is the moment to witness a 'miracle'..."
