Chapter 207 It smells so good

I often see in the news that due to the technological blockade of a certain country, my country cannot manufacture and produce a certain equipment. Then, after the scientific researchers worked hard and braved hardships, they finally broke the blockade and successfully achieved the product at a bargain price.

There are always sheepdogs who say that a certain technology has been studied by others for hundreds of years, and China cannot catch up. They are industrial pearls.

But now, it seems that there are only a few so-called industrial pearls left...

"Due to historical reasons, there are very few magicians in our country, and even fewer who understand magic technology. The accuracy of the instruments has never been improved until recently."

Speaking of this, Qian Sen suddenly looked at Lei Lei:

"We have another plan for instrument research. There are few magicians in our country, but many monks, so there is a plan based on immortal methods. Lei Lei, if you have time, you can also come and take a look and give some opinions."

Good guy, you really use whoever you catch?

"Didn't you say that there are many monks in our country? Is it necessary to conscript so many men?"

"There are many, but there are not many in my jurisdiction. There is only one Li family nearby..."

Lei Lei sneered and interrupted:

"Li family? I know. My junior brother from the Lei family went to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Li family not long ago. But except for the old man, the rest of the Li family are not worth mentioning."

It can be seen that Lei Lei seems to look down on the Li family:

"I heard that not long ago, when the old man Li had a birthday banquet, there were enemies who came to the door. In the end, it was solved by the Nine Departments and outsiders. It has been spread in our circle for a long time. The Li family must have lost face this time."

Qian Sen shrugged and said to Li Chengxi:

"See, that's it."

"Not really, are people of my surname so lame?"

We all have the surname Li. As the saying goes, we are one family five hundred years ago. It's so lame that Li Chengxi feels a little embarrassed.

He said this purely out of emotion, but Lei Lei heard it, yes, this Li Chengxi's surname is Li, and the Li family is also surnamed Li, and it's not too far from each other.

Is there any family relationship between the two?

Back then, the Li family was also famous, and there were many masters in the family. The whole cultivation world would tremble with a stomp of their feet.

Is it possible that Li Chengxi is from the branch of the Li family?

The main family has declined, but the branch family still retains its strength and hides its identity?

The more Lei Lei thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. After all, if this is the case, it can explain why Li Chengxi has a lot of spiritual energy around him. He may have been cultivated since childhood.

But Lei Lei remembered that Li Chengxi had asked him if he could cultivate immortals before. If he was cultivated since childhood, he shouldn't ask this question...

Could it be that he was pretending?

Or maybe Li Chengxi himself didn't know his family background?

Emmmm...

Lei Lei suddenly fell into deep thought, and was fighting wits and courage with the air again.

It is very difficult to verify this. If he is really a person from the branch family, it is probably difficult to find Li Chengxi even if you go to the Li family to look up the family tree, let alone outsiders.

After all, judging from the name alone, Li Chengxi has nothing to do with the Li family, and is not arranged according to the family tree at all.

I feel that this is a direction for investigation. I will call my senior brothers and sisters to ask if there is any good way.

Thinking of this, Lei Lei said calmly:

"We generally do not refuse the requests of the Nine Departments, but I am still a cultivator and have no ability to make the decision."

Although she was very grateful to Qian Sen for helping her to smooth things over many times, Lei Lei was not very willing to get involved with the Nine Departments.

For a cultivator like Lei Lei, the Nine Departments are people from the government. If you read martial arts novels, how many heroes are willing to get involved with the court's lackeys?

It is not hostile. After all, now is not the same as before. If cultivators want to survive, they cannot do without the Nine Departments to maintain order and provide convenience, but they don't need to be too close. It is best to have a relationship of keeping out of each other's way.

Qian Sen had expected Lei Lei to say this, and he replied indifferently:

"The location may be considered in the sparsely populated area around the city. In order to facilitate transportation, we will most likely choose a scenic spot with few people. Of course, we will not let people go in vain. We will reimburse the expenses in the scenic spot. Mr. Li, you can just treat it as a small trip."

When Lei Lei heard this, she immediately started thinking.

If she didn't go, then Aoerdai and Li Chengxi would go alone. Not only would they be in a place where she couldn't monitor, but they might also miss some key information.

She had been paying attention to Li Chengxi for so long, and she couldn't let a time traveler pick the peaches first.

So she immediately said:

"I need the master's permission to cooperate with Jiuke."

Qian Sen was waiting for Lei Lei to say this:

"Don't worry, we will contact your master."

See, Lei Lei must be interested in Li Chengxi, and she is afraid that Aoerdai and Li Chengxi will go out alone to play and spark something.

Just now it was just a guess, but now Qian Sen felt that he was definitely right, and he understood it all at once.

Only Li Chengxi himself was a little puzzled. What are you talking about?

How come it's a scenic spot?

The National Day holiday is coming in two days. Will there be fewer people in the scenic spot?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Although a little confused, I still have to seize the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun at public expense.

Li Chengxi has wanted to travel for a long time, but he is too lazy to go alone, and he has to look after the store, so it has always been just an idea.

This time he has the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun at public expense, and he has no reason to refuse.

Qian Sen left after getting a positive answer. He just came to take a look.

Lei Lei didn't stay long either. She still had a lot of homework to do.

After sending the two away, only Li Chengxi and Aoerdai were left in the convenience store.

"Do you understand the instruments he mentioned?"

"Since it is the core of magic technology, there is no problem. I have published some papers in this area and I have some research."

Aoerdai's main research areas are pharmacy and materials science. She is not very proficient in magic machinery, that is, the technology of making golems, but she is not completely ignorant of it.

"Anyway, you have an idea in your mind. I can only treat it as going out for fun."

Li Chengxi sat down behind the cashier, stretched and said:

"Oh, right, why did you bring a magic bag this time?"

"Plastic bags are not very convenient. I put all the clothes and toiletries in it."

Last time, Aoerdai came too hastily. She thought the Demon King was too licentious and even planned to not wear clothes at all. Naturally, she didn't bring anything like a magic bag.

This time, she was told several days in advance, so she had time to prepare. It felt like she was carrying a suitcase and going on a long journey.

Speaking of the magic bag, Orde opened the zipper, reached in, and took out a piece of parchment that looked very old and placed it on the cash register.

Li Chengxi took a look and thought, damn, could this be the legendary magic scroll?

These days, when Li Chengxi was chatting with a few brothers in the chat room on the forum, he heard that magic scrolls were very precious, and high-level magic scrolls were even more valuable than potions.

Then he heard Orde say:

"This is the most detailed world map I can find. Magic... Uh, Brother Li, don't you want to see it?"

Oh, it's not a magic scroll?
