Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 423 The high-tech products purchased by Yuan Xudong
Late at night, under the illumination of candlelight, Yuan Xudong's study was always as bright as day. The candle oil kept flowing down and finally solidified on the candlestick. Three days had passed since he joined the novice group chat of all heavens and worlds. During these three days, he sent people to capture Ouyang Xu back and sold him to the female boss in the novice group. Then he sold him some things he urgently needed. Because things on the mysterious side are generally more expensive than things on the technological side, Yuan Xudong bought some very practical black technology products at a low price.
【Black Technology Alchemy Furnace】
The black technology alchemy furnace, as the name suggests, is a magical alchemy furnace. You put in raw materials and set up the alchemy program. It can automatically refine pills. You can replenish energy by putting it in the sun on weekdays. It is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. You can set the light and shadow effects when the alchemy is successful in advance. It requires extra energy. The higher the level of light and shadow special effects, the more extra energy is required. It is indeed a must-have tool for those who practice Taoism.
【Black Technology Amulet】
The black technology amulet, as the name suggests, is a magical amulet that uses sunlight or thunder as energy. It can provide the wearer with a defensive force field. When attacked by external forces, a light golden barrier can appear, with its own golden and thunderous special effects. Test data show that the defensive force field can withstand a Dongfeng Express from the Rabbit Country with a nuclear warhead. If you were in the low-level ancient martial arts plane, with this amulet, the wearer could do whatever he wanted, because there was no force that could punish you. In case you were struck by lightning, it would just be a good opportunity to charge the amulet.
【Black Technology Nanoworms】
Black-tech nanoworms, as the name suggests, are magical nanoworms that feed on various metals, can increase in value infinitely, can freely combine to generate mechanical life, and can imitate all products they have devoured. Black-tech products with law attributes or mysterious items are not included.
The above are the black technology products that Yuan Xudong exchanged for. They seem very powerful and priceless, but in fact, they are not. In addition to the 100 points of world origin exchanged for Ouyang Xu, Yuan Xudong also gave all the gold and silver in the dimensional space to the other party. The plane where the other party is located is similar to that of Transformers. The technology is highly developed, and various metals are strategic resources. If the prices of other black technology products were not too exaggerated, Yuan Xudong would even want to buy an interstellar mothership directly and start interstellar colonization directly. For the plane with underdeveloped technology, this is not much different from the advent of the gods.
Looking at the three black-tech products in front of him, Yuan Xudong could not help but feel overjoyed. This was the benefit brought by cross-dimensional transactions. An ordinary black-tech product in other dimensions might be a divine tool in another dimension. Without the raw materials for alchemy, Yuan Xudong just took a quick look at the black-tech alchemy furnace. It was made of bronze, just like the Bagua furnace used by Taishang Laojun to make elixirs. It looked very immortal and quite suitable for fooling emperors. Forget about the elixir of immortality, but ordinary elixirs would be fine. The alchemy furnace could project a light screen, just like a computer, and query and operation were very simple.
After looking at it for a while, Yuan Xudong put the black-tech alchemy furnace into the dimensional space. Next was the amulet, a mutton-fat jade pendant. Similar to the black-tech alchemy furnace, it was also operated with a light screen. The highest authentication authority was to bind the wearer's brain waves, and there were password authentication, fingerprint authentication, pupil authentication, etc. Yuan Xudong bound them all, then wore the jade pendant around his waist and turned on the defense mode.
He found a dagger and slowly stabbed his arm. When the tip of the knife was about to pierce his skin, a light golden barrier appeared between the tip of the knife and the skin, shining with golden light, and there was faint blue thunder crackling on it. Yuan Xudong could feel a tingling in his right hand holding the knife. He gradually increased his strength, the gold color of the barrier gradually deepened, the thunder became more and more violent, and Yuan Xudong's right hand became more and more numb. It seems that this amulet also has the function of self-defense and counterattack. The heavier the attack, the greater the counterattack.
After testing the amulet , Yuan Xudong took out the high-tech alchemy furnace again. After the certification was completed, he put it back into the dimensional space. Finally, there were the nanoworms. This thing was invisible to the naked eye, but fortunately it was placed in a test tube. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, Yuan Xudong still completed the certification according to the established procedures. After completing the certification, he could control the nanoworms with his thoughts and ordered the nanoworms to devour the steel dagger in his hand to complete its proliferation. The steel dagger gradually disappeared, replaced by a black mist.
After the fine steel dagger completely disappeared, Yuan Xudong ordered the nanoworms to re-form a dagger, which was exactly the same as the original fine steel dagger. He then ordered the nanoworms to disperse and devour other metal objects in the room to multiply and complete the simulation. As a result, the nanoworms were able to simulate 100%. Yuan Xudong then directed the nanoworms to form an enlarged version of the long sword, and then let it fly up and down in the room. Looking at the nanoworm sword that was flexibly turning and flying in the room, Yuan Xudong's eyes became brighter and brighter. Isn't this the flying sword of the immortal cultivator, flying on the sword?
…
Just as Yuan Xudong was studying his treasures one by one and was about to transform into a superman wearing red shorts outside, in the Sinan Yamen of the Tokyo Imperial City, Gu Qianfan was busy dealing with the piles of official business. Suddenly, his ears moved and he shouted:
"who?"
"It's me!"
Along with the voice, a middle-aged official with a purple robe and long beard and elegant manners appeared from the dark. It was Qi Mu, the representative of the Qingliu faction in the court. Qi Mu looked at Gu Qianfan with a loving face and said with concern:
"I heard that you were back, so I decided to come and see you in the dead of night!"
"Uncle Qi?"
Seeing that the person coming was Qi Mu, Gu Qianfan immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"How dare I trouble you to come? I should go to see you on the scheduled date!"
Seeing Gu Qianfan in a red official robe, looking very majestic, Qi Mu smiled kindly and said:
"I have always treated you like my own son or nephew. I know you are seriously injured this time, so I am extremely anxious. How can I wait for three days? Where are you injured? How well have you recovered?"
Seeing Gu Qianfan looking around, Qi Mu knew that he was worried about being seen by others, so he couldn't help but comfort him:
"Don't worry, I have already sent people to investigate. You are the only one in the entire Southern Court who is working late into the night. Why are you working so late? Are you here to hand over Zheng Qingtian's case to the Dali Temple?"
In front of Qi Mu, Gu Qianfan nodded repeatedly like a shy child, smiling without saying a word. If Xiao Qinyan saw that his eldest son, whom he loved the most and cared about the most, was so close to his mortal enemy, he would probably be so angry that he died on the spot. Qi Mu continued to smile:
"There is no end to the work. Your own body is the most important. You must take good care of yourself. If you hurt your essence, how can I be worthy of the deceased Minister Gu?"
"Yes, I will keep your words in mind!"
Gu Qianfan said with a smile.
"Well, I haven't congratulated you on your red robe. Now you have your own office. Come on, take me in and have a look!"
Qi Mu smiled.
"Okay, this way please!"
Gu Qianfan took Qi Mu into the government office of the Imperial City Department and asked him to sit down. Then Gu Qianfan took out the evidence he had collected during his trip to Jiangnan from the secret compartment of the bookshelf about Lei Jing's collusion with the Jiangnan officialdom and handed it to Qi Mu respectfully, saying:
"Uncle Qi, all the things Qianfan found during this trip to Jiangnan have been sorted out and are just right for you. These are all the evidences of Lei Jing's collusion with the Jiangnan officialdom. With them, you will definitely be able to bring Lei Jing down!"
"Yes, yes, the court is lucky to have you as a minister, and I am lucky to have you as my nephew!"
After Qi Mu finished reading the evidence, he first praised Gu Qianfan, then changed the subject and said:
"However, I'm afraid that now is not the best time for us to take action. Lei Jing has served the emperor for more than 30 years, and the emperor still favors him. The emperor has already dealt with many people in the Zheng Qingtian case, and I'm afraid he won't want to expand it. If we expose Lei Jing's affairs at this time, we may not be able to hit him in one blow, so let's leave it for another day!"
Hearing this, Gu Qianfan felt disappointed and forced a smile:
"Okay, then everything will be up to your arrangement!"
Qi Muren was an experienced man, so he naturally knew what Gu Qianfan was thinking, and he could not help but persuade him:
"Don't sigh. I told you at the beginning that since you have chosen to hide in the dust, you must be able to endure loneliness. You are a young talent, and I really wronged you when I arranged for you to transfer to a military position and join the Imperial City Department.
But if I, Qingliu, want to deal with Xiao Qinyan and Zhu Peiruo, who are the five devils who deceive their superiors and bully their subordinates, we have to plant a nail in the Imperial City Bureau, which is a powerful tool for investigation and prosecution.
Over the years, you have lived up to my expectations. Lei Jing would never have dreamed that his subordinate, the Living Yama, was actually a hidden spy planted by Qingliu."
Hearing the title of "Living Yama", Gu Qianfan's face changed slightly. Qi Mu immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn in his pride. He could not help but change the subject and said soothingly:
"Living Yama, this reputation is not very pleasant, but for the sake of the court, for our Song Dynasty, and for the millions of ordinary people in this world, what does a little fame mean?"
Hearing Qi Mu's words, Gu Qianfan instantly felt much better, and at the same time he had a lofty sense of mission that no one else could take on. He smiled and said:
“In fact, I have never regretted it!”
Qi Mu nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Now that Xiao Qinyan has returned to Beijing to serve as prime minister, Lei Jing has been trying to curry favor with him. One is a hawkish leader, and the other is a treacherous leader of the back party. If these two collude, who knows how many things they will do to harm the country and the people. So, you must pay attention and investigate!"
"yes!"
Hearing that they were going to investigate Xiao Qinyan, Gu Qianfan quickly lowered his head and agreed, but his eyes flickered twice. Qi Mu did not see his eyes, and he continued:
"You can start with Ouyang Xu's disappearance case. Someone told me that Xiao Qinyan's son Xiao Fan had a feud with Ouyang Xu. Three days ago, Ouyang Xu and an old servant of the Ouyang family were stripped naked and left in front of the gate of Yihong Courtyard. They then disappeared for no reason. You can go and check it out!"
"Xiao Fan?"
Hearing Qi Mu mention Xiao Fan, Gu Qianfan couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Fan is just a playboy. He is different from Xiao Qinyan. He shouldn't..."
Before Gu Qianfan could finish his words, Qi Mu waved his hand to interrupt him:
"As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Xiao Qinyan is not a good person, and his son is naturally not much better. You must not be careless about Xiao Fan. In my opinion, the case of Ouyang Xu was most likely committed by him. You should investigate it carefully!"
"yes!"
Gu Qianfan responded respectfully.
…
The next day, on Ma Xing Street, the warm morning light illuminated the old shop that Zhao Pan'er had just rented. After three full days of busy work, a simple teahouse similar to the Qiantang Zhao's Teahouse had taken shape.
This teahouse was opened with the money Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang brought from Qiantang, not the money given to them by Yuan Xudong. In Zhao Pan'er's words, she and her sisters wanted to build their own careers in Tokyo to prove that women are no worse than men. Therefore, they naturally could not use Yuan Xudong's money as capital to open the teahouse.
In this era, most men will not allow their women to go out and do business in public, especially in big families. But Yuan Xudong is not an ordinary man. As long as he is not cheated on, he is very tolerant of his women. She can do business if she wants, and she can stay at home if she wants. In Yuan Xudong's view, men who restrict their women in every way, forbidding this and that, are a manifestation of lack of self-confidence. He is now extremely confident, and except for morality and conscience, nothing can restrain him.
Next to the ox cart, Sun Sanniang was directing the unloading workers to move various tables and chairs into the teahouse. Song Yinzhang and Yinping Yatou were in charge of supervising the gardeners who were moving the flower pots. Yuan Xudong and Zhao Paner were distributing candies to the children playing nearby, asking them to help promote the teahouse. Each child received three pieces of candy from Zhao Paner, and then went to Yuan Xudong to receive two round, flawless white pills. Compared with Zhao Paner's candies, Yuan Xudong's pills were obviously more popular. Seven or eight little kids surrounded Yuan Xudong and asked for them:
"It's delicious, I want more!"
"I want one too. Can you give me another one?"
…
Seeing the little brats fighting for the pill, Yuan Xudong was very happy. He gave each of them another pill and said with a smile:
"Don't rush to grab it. Everyone has one. Go back and tell others. Our teahouse will open tomorrow. For the first two days, we only charge 60% of the price. Drink a cup of tea and get a free Qingjing Pill. It's the same pill you're eating now. It can be eaten as candy or as a pill. After eating it, it will kill the parasites in your stomach and make you healthier. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Killing parasites will make your body healthier!"
Seven or eight children ate candies and purification pills while running towards the streets and alleys, chanting the slogan Yuan Xudong taught them:
"Zhao's Teahouse will open tomorrow, only 40% off, kill parasites and be healthier!"
Looking at the children who ran off to play after receiving the candies, Zhao Paner looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Where did you get the Purifying Pill? Is it really useful?"
"Of course it works, I made it myself!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xudong poured out a pure white pill from the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into Zhao Paner's mouth, saying with a smile:
"Try it. How does it taste?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Zhao Paner thought for a while and said in surprise:
"Not bad, it's cool and has a sweet taste. It's delicious. Do you really know how to make pills?"
"What's wrong? Are you surprised that I can make pills?"
Looking at the rather surprised Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong said proudly:
"Didn't I tell you? I am a deity from heaven who has come down to earth. Now I have recovered all my magical powers. Refining pills is nothing. I can be even more powerful. Do you want to see it for yourself?"
Zhao Pan'er naturally wouldn't believe Yuan Xudong's lies. It was just an ordinary pill, and it was almost the same as the fruit made by Sanniang. She looked at the complacent Yuan Xudong and teased:
"Are all the gods in heaven as lustful as you are?"
“Alas~~”
Yuan Xudong sighed, and he looked at Zhao Paner and said seriously:
"You are right. It is because of my lust for beauty that I was banished to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor. Thank you, old Jade Emperor. I never thought that the beauties in the mortal world are more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. Pan'er, I think you are more beautiful than Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace!"
"You just talk nonsense all day long. I don't want to pay attention to you!"
After rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner turned around and tried to leave, but Yuan Xudong grabbed her and said with a smile:
"Pan'er, I'm telling you the truth. I'm planning to make a beauty pill recently. It's very precious and can keep people young forever. But I'm still short of a medicinal ingredient. I need to take a concubine. How about you promise me that I can take a concubine?"
"Xiao Fan, you..."
Seeing Yuan Xudong bringing up the old matter again, Zhao Paner said angrily:
"Yin Zhang, Yin Ping, and me, can't the three of us satisfy you?"
"If you don't agree, forget it!"
Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was really angry, Yuan Xudong decided to think of another way. At worst, he could ask his cheap father Xiao Qinyan to introduce him to the emperor and the empress in the palace, and then talk about the matter of the longevity pill and the beauty pill, and ask them to help him find the medicinal materials, and then betroth Gao Hui and Zhang Haohao to him. How could he disobey the emperor's order for a marriage?
Seeing Yuan Xudong's shifty look, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said:
"Hey, can you really make a beauty pill?"
"Humph, I won't tell you!"
"you……"
After thinking of a good idea, Yuan Xudong decided not to ask Zhao Paner for help. He ran to the store to help Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl, and ate some hot tofu when no one was around. Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl seemed to like being eaten hot tofu by Yuan Xudong. Their faces were red and they were cursing Yuan Xudong as a bad guy, but they just stood there and didn't move away. Wasn't the meaning very obvious?
By the time the sun was setting, the teahouse had been basically set up and would be open tomorrow. Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, Yinping Yatou, and Yuan Xudong sat together. It was the first time for Song Yinzhang to do so much physical work. She tapped her waist lightly and said with a tired face:
"I'm so tired, my waist is so sore!"
"Your waist is sore?"
When Yuan Xudong heard Song Yinzhang say that her waist was sore, he immediately stood up and said with a smile:
"Come, let me rub it for you!"
"ah?"
