I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 317 Showdown, stop pretending

Although Xie Xiu chose to confess after he could no longer bear it, Xie Ying still decided to struggle a little longer.

She opened her eyes wide and innocently, looking at Xie Xiu in feigned confusion, even imitating her silly brother: "Ah?"

At the same time, I deliberately complained in my heart: [Daddy's face is so red, is he shy?]

Xie Xiu looked at the fat baby in front of him speechlessly, seriously suspecting that she did it on purpose!

He lifted Xie Ying in front of him and looked directly into her eyes: "Yingying, Daddy can hear your inner voice. You are not an ordinary child, right?"

Xie Ying continued to play dumb with her eyes wide open: "Ah ah?"

[Did Daddy just say anything? Why can't I hear anything?]

Xie Xiu narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Yingying? Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?"

Why is he a little unconvinced?

So he decided to test it out: "Yingying, do you like making money? Tell Daddy with your heart how to make money. From now on, all the money Daddy earns will be given to Yingying, okay?"

Xie Ying's eyes suddenly lit up!

She looked at Xie Xiu with burning eyes. Although she wanted to pretend in her heart, her body was not listening at all!

[Daddy, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!]

Xie Xiu: “…”

Oh, he knew it!

Is this girl the fairy child of the God of Wealth? How can she be so obsessed with money at such a young age?

Is she not hungry at home?

Xie Xiu secretly complained in his heart, then smiled meaningfully: "It seems Yingying heard it all."

Xie Ying's face was full of innocence, but her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xie Xiu: "Forget it, let's get this straight. No more pretense! Daddy, you must make more money. Whether your daughter can live a life of lying down and counting money in the future depends on you!"

Her eyes were full of anticipation and longing, which made Xie Xiu feel inexplicably pressured.

"I think...it's better for you to rely on yourself."

Xie Xiu spoke with difficulty, "When it comes to making money, you're more professional than me. Dad only knows how to write books, paint, and take the imperial examinations, but he doesn't know how to make money.

And what are the glass cement and coking coal you mentioned earlier? Can you make a lot of money with them?

Xie Ying: “…”

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly decided it was best to come clean.

Situ Yuan is an outsider after all, so it is more reliable to have our own people come forward to make money.

So she tried to say in her mind: "Glass is transparent colored glaze, which can be made into vase ornaments and used to inlay windows. If highly transparent glass can be burned, it can also be polished into lenses to make glasses and telescopes.

Daddy reads a lot, and I don't know if there's anything wrong with his eyesight. If he's nearsighted, I can only think of a way to make glasses for him.

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Xiu. At the end, she stared at Xie Xiu's eyes for a long time.

What Xie Ying didn't say was that her wood-related ability could actually cure myopia.

Unless Xie Xiu discovered this miraculous thing, she would not reveal it on her own initiative.

Seeing Xie Xiu's surprised expression, she knew that Xie Xiu had indeed heard what she had just said.

Xie Ying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: [Daddy can really hear what I say in my heart? But why?]

Xie Xiu: “…”

That's a good question, I'd also like to know why.

Unfortunately, his daughter herself didn't know, so it was useless for him to ask.

Maybe it's God's will.

Thinking of what his daughter had just said, his mood fluctuated.

He knew about colored glaze, but he didn't expect that his daughter also knew about glass and wanted to use glass to make windows and lenses!

Myopia, although this term is something I have never heard of before, it is very vivid and people can understand its meaning as soon as they hear it.

But, can glasses made of glass help myopic people see clearly?

If that's true, this glass is amazing.

There are also telescopes. Are they glasses that allow people to see far away?

When Xie Xiu thought of this possibility, his heart started beating rapidly!

He didn't even want to wait a moment and asked Xie Ying directly: "Yingying, do you know how far this telescope can see?"

Xie Ying thought about it carefully and explained with difficulty: [The function of a telescope is to magnify distant objects and bring them closer, so that people can see distant objects clearly.

However, how far you can see depends on the magnification of the telescope. People with good eyesight can definitely see farther after using a telescope.

Xie Ying herself was not very clear about these principles, and she did not know how to make a telescope.

But she believed that Situ Yuan could definitely do it.

If he doesn't even have this little ability, then what kind of person is he when he calls himself a brain power user?

Besides, Situ Yuan’s father was a military general, and his grandfather and uncle were still guarding the border.

I guess even if she didn't say it, Situ Yuan would find a way to get the telescope.

Maybe he is already doing it secretly now.

Anyway, even if there is no optical glass, you can use highly transparent colorless crystal to polish the lens.

With his current status, it would not be difficult for him to find some colorless crystals.

When she sees that guy, she will definitely ask him! If he really makes a telescope, she will ask him for one.

At worst, I can just produce some fruit and exchange it with him.

I just don’t know what kind of fruit that kid likes to eat.

As Xie Ying thought about it, her thoughts drifted to food.

Xie Xiu was thinking about the telescope. If that thing could really be made, it would definitely be a powerful weapon in battle!

So he asked Xie Ying again: "Yingying, can you make a telescope?"

Xie Ying shook her head decisively: [I can't, but Situ Yuan definitely can! He's a professional!]

She didn't want to admit that Situ Yuan was smarter than her!

He's just better at making them.

Xie Xiu: “…”

Very good, it seems that he must have a good talk with Situ Yuan.

So he asked something else: "What is cement?"

He asked this casually because the word cement was really strange and he couldn't imagine what use it could have.

There is both water and mud. Could it be used to grow lotus?

Cement can be used to build houses, bridges, and roads. Before it's mixed with water, it looks like mud. Once it's mixed with water and solidifies and dries, it becomes as hard as stone.

Once the cement is burned, we can build dormitories, factory buildings, and a cement road for easy transportation. Perfect!

When Xie Xiu heard her say that cement would be as hard as stone after solidifying and drying, his heart began to beat wildly again.

Why would such a good thing be used to build staff dormitories? Of course, it should be used to reinforce the city walls!

Xie Xiu quickly thought of the coking coal that Xie Ying had mentioned before.

If cement is so useful, what about coking coal? Can it be used to make iron and steel?

He clearly remembered that it was written in the book that the iron smelted from coal was of very poor quality.

Is this coking coal different from regular coal? Is it made by burning the coal?

Xie Xiu quickly asked the question in his mind: "What is coking coal?"

Xie Ying was stunned by the question. She didn't study coal chemistry, so how could she know what coking coal was? She just knew it existed.

But if she said she didn't know, she would feel embarrassed.

So Xie Ying deliberately yawned, pretending to be very sleepy: [I'm so sleepy, I need to take a nap first, I'm so tired.]

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Xiu: “…”

Why does he feel that Yingying herself doesn't understand?
