Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 207 It smells so good
We often see in the news that due to the technological blockade of a certain country, our country is unable to manufacture a certain equipment. Then, after scientific researchers have worked hard and braved hardships, they have finally broken the blockade and successfully achieved the low price of the product.

There are always sheepdogs who say that a certain technology has been studied by others for hundreds of years and China cannot catch up, as that technology is the jewel of their industry.

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, and it has only gradually improved in recent years."

At this point, 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 come and take a look and give some suggestions."

Good man, you really just use whoever you can 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 when she heard this and interrupted:
"The Li family? I know. My fellow apprentice from the Lei family went to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Li family not long ago. But apart from the old man who has some ability, the rest of the Li family are all insignificant people."

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

"I heard that not long ago, when Old Master Li was having his birthday party, his enemies came to attack him. In the end, it was solved by the Nine Departments and outsiders. The news has spread in our circle a long time ago. The Li family must have lost all their face this time."

Qian Sen shrugged and said to Li Chengxi:

"See, that's it."

"Not really, are people from my family so lame?"

They all have the surname Li, and as the saying goes, they were one family five hundred years ago. Li Chengxi felt a little embarrassed by this.

He said this purely out of emotion, but when Lei Lei heard it, she realized that, yes, Li Chengxi's surname was Li, the Li family's surname was also Li, and in terms of distance, it was not too far away.

Is there any family relationship between the two?
Back then, the Li family was also very famous. There were so many masters in the family that the whole world of immortal cultivation would tremble when they stomped their feet.

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

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, this would explain why there was a large amount of spiritual energy around Li Chengxi. He might have been cultivated since he was a child.

But Lei Lei recalled that Li Chengxi had asked him if he could cultivate immortality before. If he was someone who had been trained since childhood, he shouldn't have asked that question...

Could it be that he was pretending?

Or maybe, Li Chengxi himself doesn’t know his own family background?

Emmmm…

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

It is very difficult to verify this matter. If he is really a person from the separated family, it would be difficult to find Li Chengxi even if you go to the Li family and look through the family tree, let alone outsiders checking.

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 this is a direction worth investigating. I’ll call my seniors and ask them if they have any good ideas.

Thinking of this, Lei Lei said calmly:
"We generally don't refuse requests from the Nine Departments, but I'm still a cultivator and don't have the ability to make the decision."

Although she was very grateful to Qian Sen for smoothing things over for her many times, Lei Lei was not very willing to get involved with Jiu Ke.

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

It cannot be said to be hostile. After all, things are different now than before. If monks want to survive, they cannot do without the nine departments maintaining order and providing convenience. But there is no need to be too close. It is best to have a relationship where neither one interferes with the other.

Qian Sen had expected Lei Lei to say this, and he replied indifferently:
"The location may be considered in a sparsely populated area around the city. For the convenience of transportation, we will most likely choose a scenic spot with few people. Of course, we will not let people make a wasted trip. We will reimburse all expenses in the scenic spot. Mr. Li, just think of it as a short trip." Lei Lei started thinking immediately after hearing this.

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

I have been following Li Chengxi for so long, I can't let a time traveler pick all the fruits first.

So she immediately said:
"I need Master's permission to work with Section Nine."

Qian Sen was just waiting for Lei Lei to say this:
"Don't worry, we will contact your master."

You see, Lei Lei must be interested in Li Chengxi, and she is afraid that some sparks will fly if A'erde and Li Chengxi go out alone.

It was just a guess just now, but now Qian Sen felt that he must have guessed correctly and he understood it all at once.

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

How come it became a scenic spot?

The National Day holiday is coming in two days. How could there be few people in the scenic spots?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Although it's a bit confusing, you still have to seize the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun at public expense.

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

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

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

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

After the two left, only Li Chengxi and Auldai were left in the convenience store.

"Do you understand the instruments he's talking about?"

"Since it's based on magic technology, there's no problem. I've published some papers on this topic, so I do have some research."

Alde's main research areas are pharmacy and materials science. She is not very proficient in magical machinery, the technology used to make golems, but she does not completely understand it.

"Anyway, as long as you know what's going on, I can only treat it as going out for fun."

Li Chengxi returned to the cashier counter and sat down, stretched and said:

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

"Plastic bags are not very convenient, so I put my spare clothes and toiletries in them."

The last time, Olde came in a hurry. She thought that the Demon King was extremely licentious and even planned to go without wearing any clothes. Naturally, she did not bring any magic bag or anything like that.

This time I told her several days in advance, so she naturally had time to make sufficient preparations. It felt like she was going on a long journey with a suitcase.

And speaking of the magic bag, Aldee unzipped it, reached in, and pulled out a piece of ancient-looking parchment and placed it on the cash register.

Li Chengxi took a look and was like, oh shit, 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 are very precious, and high-level magic scrolls are even worth far more than magic potions.

Then he heard Oldie say:

"This is the most detailed world map I could find. Mo... um, Brother Li, don't you want to see it?"

Oh, it’s not a magic scroll?
