By a stroke of opportunity.
A customer gave Faraday a few tickets, allowing him to step into the doors of the Royal Academy and meet Sir David, the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
After listening to several lectures.
Faraday compiled the content of David’s lectures into a book and sent it to David.
Upon reading it, David was astonished and became an important "receptor" in Faraday’s life, leading to Faraday’s subsequent illustrious career.
There are quite a few similar examples, not to mention those who never became famous.
In the vast sea of human beings, there are far too many geniuses who might have become top figures, but because of various family conditions, they remain ordinary.
Could it be...
Is Will such a ’genius’?
But soon, Xu Yun shook his head.
How to put it...
There is a possibility, but it’s not very high.
The halo did not issue a mission upon Will announcing his name, which indicates that he is definitely not the protagonist of this dungeon.
His importance doesn’t even match up to Adam Hopkins.
Moreover, Will is not a child anymore; at twenty years old, understanding the concept of a matrix isn’t very hard to accept.
Therefore, his potential is likely not too high; his importance probably upgrades from Mr. Xie to Wang Bing’s level.
However, thinking about his kind gesture of helping him dig graves.
Xu Yun still decided that if there is a chance, he would try to help this simple and honest Scottish young man.
Afterward, he quietly retraced his steps back, leaving the two to continue their late-night studies in the tent.
The night passed without much conversation.
......
Early next morning.
Sunlight filtered through the cracks into the carriage.
Xu Yun sniffed twice and yawned, then opened his eyes.
He then lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
The weather today was nice, it looked like it was around six or seven in the morning, and the sun was shining all over the woods.
The winter sun was not blinding; instead, it gave a very warm and comfortable feeling.
This was a rare clear day in the United Kingdom, especially at this point in time.
Beside the carriage, a pot was placed, and Will was squatting at its edge, feeding twigs into the fire.
Upon seeing Xu Yun, he grinned and greeted:
"Good morning, Mr. Luo Feng."
"Mr. Thomson mentioned that you were injured and specifically told me not to wake you, so you could rest a bit longer."
Hearing this, Xu Yun felt a slight warmth in his heart.
Little Niu look at how considerate he is.jpg.
Then he moved his arm and felt his left arm.
Strangely.
Whether it was due to the halo or not, after just one night, his injury had healed more than half, and it didn’t hurt much anymore.
He then scanned around and asked:
"Mr. Will, where is Mr. Thomson?"
Will blew a few puffs into the fire, then pointed behind the carriage with his hand:
"He is preparing feed for the horses, these animals are like donkeys; to make donkeys grind, you always need to give them some grass, right?"
Xu Yun nodded, making a mental note to commend Brother Lv.
A few minutes later.
Mr. Thomson returned to the carriage holding a bundle of feed.
He first greeted Xu Yun, then fed the horses, and the three of them gathered around the pot to start having breakfast.
"Today our schedule might be a bit tight."
Mr. Thomson elegantly ate a few pieces of bread, then took out a map, laid it flat in front of him:
"As planned, we need to first cross Whitecome Mountain and then reach Dandris Town."
"Whitecome Mountain in late autumn is somewhat damp and cold, and you occasionally come across some large predators preparing for winter, like grizzly bears and so on."
"Therefore, it’s best if we don’t camp in the mountain overnight. We should aim to reach the other side of Whitecome Mountain today and get to Dandris Town as quickly as possible."
Xu Yun pretended to listen intently to Mr. Thomson’s plan, while his eyes quickly scanned over the map.
Although the Special Committee of France had established the metric system standard in May 1790.
At this time, the measurement system used in the United Kingdom still adhered to the "standard legal inch" promulgated in the 14th century by Edward II.
Which means the inch, foot, and mile.
According to the location Mr. Thomson pointed out.
They were about 30 miles away from Whitecome Mountain, which is approximately 42 kilometers.
In the wilderness with poor road conditions, a two-wheeled carriage travels at a speed just over 15 kilometers per hour.
Which means, just getting to the foot of Whitecome Mountain from here would take about three hours.
Considering the time spent entering and exiting the mountains and the fact that darkness falls quickly in the UK’s wintertime, today indeed would be a rather urgent journey.
So, after finishing their breakfast, they set out quickly.
Gurgle, gurgle—
The Shire Horse, unique to Britain, is one of the world-renowned draft horses and is among the largest horse breeds, capable of pulling five tons of cargo.
Even with three people sitting inside and outside the carriage, it still moved at a relatively steady pace.
Mr. Thomson sat alone inside the carriage, seemingly reading a book.
While Xu Yun and Will sat in the outer section, where the coachman typically seats, at the front of the carriage.
Born and raised in the Scottish countryside, Will seemed very skilled at driving the carriage, cracking the whip while humming folk tunes full of Scottish flair.
Xu Yun, on the other hand, was watching the surrounding scenery with great interest; after all, it was an experience he had never encountered before.
Of course.
On a long journey, scenery and singing are only temporary entertainment; they eventually become tiresome.
Chatting, however, is undoubtedly a good way to pass the time.
