After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 789 Speculations on the Changes of the Mirror Abyss Stone, Blueprints of the Inlaid Gold Long Spear
The sound of counting money suddenly stopped, and then a heavy weight was felt on my thigh.

Li Chengxiao moved the script in his hand to the side, and when he looked down, he saw a small head on his lap.

"Sleepy?"

Jiang Hanying rested her head on his lap without moving, only raising her hand, "I have a cramp."

Li Chengxiao twitched the corner of his mouth, freed one hand to massage her, and as he massaged her, he saw that she first closed her eyes in comfort, and then fell asleep after a while!
He had to admire her ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere!

Putting down the script he had already read most of in his other hand, Li Chengxiao gently lifted the back of his head, which was resting on his lap, from the sofa, bent down and picked him up horizontally, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

After settling him into bed and covering him with the blankets, I returned to the living room and tidied up the gold bars that had been vigorously kneaded into two round balls, as well as the cash scattered on the coffee table and sofa. Only then did I wash my hands, go back to the bedroom, turn off the lights, and lie down.

As the night deepened and everyone slept soundly, the water-like ripples quietly spread and enveloped the area once more.

Everything is quiet!

Early in the morning, Jiang Hanying opened her eyes to the noise and saw her cheap master standing by the bed, examining the Mirror Abyss Stone.

He rolled to the edge of the bed, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Has it gotten lighter again?"

"Hmm, the size seems to have shrunk a bit too."

Jiang Hanying threw off the blanket and sat up, holding out her hand: "Let me see."

Li Chengxiao placed the stone in her palm.

As soon as I got it, I could feel a more obvious difference compared to yesterday: "The weight has changed a lot more than yesterday."

He examined the stone again, turning it over and over. "There's no visible change on the surface. Could this stone possibly shrink?"

Li Chengxiao: "I do have a guess."

Jiang Hanying immediately looked up and said, "Tell me about it."

"What do you think is the difference between last night and the night before?"

"What's the difference?" Jiang Hanying patted the pillow beneath her. "Aren't we all just sleeping in bed?"

“But there is still some difference in the time we sleep. The night before last we didn’t go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, but last night we went to sleep before midnight. We slept for longer last night than the night before last, and the changes in the Mirror Abyss Stone were also greater last night than the night before last.”

"That's true." Jiang Hanying brought the Mirror Abyss Stone close to her eyes and examined it carefully again. "So, according to you, this stone only changed after we fell asleep?"

"It's possible."

"How sneaky!"

Everyone's asleep, how can we discover what changes have occurred in the stone?
Li Chengxiao pondered for a moment, "Before the hummingbird arrives, I'll have him bring over a high-powered camera and install it in the bedroom, turning it on before I go to sleep."

Jiang Hanying's eyes lit up. "Great idea!"

"However, the camera may not be able to capture everything that happens, but let's give it a try."

"Uh-huh."

"I'll call Hummingbird right now. You get up and wash up first, and I'll ask him to bring some breakfast over on his way."

Jiang Hanying, who had originally wanted to lie back in bed for a while, said, "I'm getting up now!"

Half an hour later, Hummingbird, carrying a backpack and a steaming breakfast in both hands, rang the doorbell of her team leader's house.

Li Chengxiao opened the door and welcomed the person in.

"Captain, breakfast."

"Thank you for your help," Li Chengxiao said, taking the breakfast and pointing to the empty table and chairs. "Please sit down."

Hummingbird couldn't help but take a few more glances at the captain, who was unusually dressed in a beige loungewear outfit. Upon hearing this, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, Captain. I already ate breakfast when I bought it."

Li Chengxiao immediately pointed to the coffee table in the living room, "The cell phone that needs to be checked is on the coffee table. Did you bring the recording equipment I asked you to bring?"

"I brought it, I brought it." Hummingbird took the equipment out of her backpack and handed it over, barely managing to refrain from asking what she needed it for. Then she walked to the coffee table, grabbed her phone, and put it away. "Captain, I'll take it back and check it now. May I ask beforehand if it's okay to disassemble the device?"

"can."

Jiang Hanying changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom. When she heard the question, she answered him directly.

"Okay, Miss Jiang." Seeing the two of them sit down to have breakfast, Hummingbird stuffed her phone into her backpack and tactfully said goodbye, "I'll be going now."

After saying that, he consciously retreated to the entrance hall, opened the door, and left in a streamlined manner.

Jiang Hanying had just picked up a steaming hot tea egg and hadn't even peeled it yet when she asked, "Are you leaving already?"

"He's already eaten." "Oh."

Although Li Chengxiao had specifically instructed Hummingbird to buy more breakfast during the phone call, Hummingbird had never actually witnessed Jiang Hanying's appetite. Although the breakfast she brought had a variety of options, it was still within the range of what an average person would eat.

"Is this enough? If not, I'll go out and buy some more."

"No need," Jiang Hanying carefully tossed the cup of soy milk she had just finished into the trash can, patted her stomach and shook her head, "I feel like I've eaten enough."

Li Chengxiao paused as he got up to clear the table, looking thoughtfully at the empty breakfast box on the table.

"I don't plan to go out this morning. I'm going to draw the weapon diagrams your agent asked for."

"You already have a draft in mind?"

"Hmm. If you want to go out and play..."

Jiang Hanying shook her head and interrupted him before he could finish speaking, "I'll stay home with you."

Li Chengxiao raised an eyebrow: "Can you stay still?"

Am I really that restless and uneasy?

Li Chengxiao: "...The idiom 'uneasy at home' is not used like this."

Jiang Hanying waved her hand, "Anyway, that's the gist of it, just understand."

OK!

After finishing breakfast, the two of them went straight into the study.

Although Li Chengxiao hadn't finished reading the script yet, he already had a pretty good understanding of the characters and weapon descriptions, which didn't affect his understanding of the weapon's construction.

I sat down at my desk, spread out a sheet of white paper, and started writing.

Jiang Hanying did bring in a chair and sit with him for a while, but she only stayed quiet for less than half an hour before closing the script in her hand and quietly moving closer to her cheap master who was still engrossed in drawing.

Li Chengxiao didn't even need to stop or turn his head to look. Just listening to the subtle movements beside him, he continued to draw lines methodically while speaking without any interruption: "Getting impatient?"

"No way!"

He finished the last stroke, "Okay, take a look."

Jiang Hanying hurriedly reached out and took the drawing he handed over. It only showed one weapon: a long halberd inlaid with gold.

Although it was drawn with only the simplest black lines, at first glance, one could feel the imposing and fierce aura of the real object.

No wonder he's her cheap master!

"I'm extremely satisfied! I can't wait to see the actual product!"

"If you're satisfied, take a picture and send it to Guanshan."

As Li Chengxiao spoke, he began to write on the second sheet of white paper.

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Hanying got up and stomped back to her bedroom to get her new phone. She snapped several photos of the blueprint, then chose the clearest one and sent it.

I couldn't resist showing off a bit: "Isn't it amazing? Wait until the real thing comes out, it'll blow your mind!"

Guan Shan, upon receiving the photos and voice messages: "..."

Although I really wanted to retort with a comment that said something to shut up the girl's smugness, I have to admit that the picture that came out was indeed top-notch!
It just goes to show that no man doesn't love cold weapons!

Guan Shan: [What about the other weapon diagrams?]

Jiang Hanying: "What's the rush? I'm drawing right now."

Guan Shan: "..."

Okay, he's not in a hurry.

Slow and steady wins the race!
He was satisfied with the result of producing one photo in two days.

Less than half an hour later, he received a new one.

Hmm... isn't something wrong?

This girl said she was drawing, but could she be taking pictures while she was drawing?
