Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"That's the situation, that's the matter. The people of the future, led by Yi Yi, are really generous. Not only atomic bombs, but also launch systems that are compatible with nuclear weapons, the Dongfeng series of intercontinental ballistic missiles that A Lang highly recommends, have all been prepared for us, and even all the warships that form the core force for protecting the seas have been prepared for us."

"I heard that this time, to better help us, they've prepared a big surprise for us! Yi-yi is a woman who's seen a lot of things, so for her to call it a surprise, especially a big one, it must be something special! Hey, Old Gao, Old Gao?"

In the city of Beijing, at the guard battalion's garrison, Hao Pingchuan was chatting idly with Lao Luo and Bai Ling, thoroughly imagining what the big surprise Xia Yiyi had mentioned was all about, when he glanced to the side.

Well, they're not even acting anymore.

In front of so many people, Gao Cheng started fiddling with his phone, just like Bai Ling and Ximen Lang. He held his phone without even looking up, fiddling with it like a spy.

In fact, his fingers were almost moving in a blur.

Seeing that this guy really doesn't care about anyone, what's most infuriating is that no matter how many times I begged him, he wouldn't even let me touch him.

Hao Pingchuan kicked Gao Cheng's foot and said irritably.

“Hey, can you tone it down a bit? This is happening in front of so many people! We’re all professionals! You’re openly communicating with them right in front of us.”

"How many people have been tagged? You can't even be bothered to act, you can't even pretend! Hey, I'm telling you, aren't you going a bit too far? You're really not taking us seriously?"

After hearing Hao Pingchuan's words, Lao Luo, who was standing to the side, also felt that it was going too far, and that what he was doing was indeed excessive.

However, it wasn't as Hao Pingchuan thought that Gao Cheng had gone too far.

"It's you, you brat, you've really gone too far!"

"What the heck? Me?!"

"Who else could it be but you?! Gao Cheng? He can stay informed about everything via his phone even when A Lang isn't around, without caring what others think. I ordered him to do it this way!"

"Otherwise, it's like this now, completely in the dark, not even knowing what Ah Lang is doing over there, what happened to him, or when he'll be back. Do you think that's appropriate?!"

"Although he hasn't told me even a single word about what Ah Lang did over there or whether he encountered any problems, that's no reason for you to slander Gao Cheng! And you call him 'Old Gao the Dog'? Listen to what you're saying! Does that even make sense?!"

This is a direct challenge to Takashiro.

Just as Lao Luo said, from the moment he received Lao Luo's approval until now, he really hasn't told Lao Luo a single word about Ximen Lang or the situation in the future.

On the contrary, regarding the situation in Beijing, no matter how big or small, as long as he knows it, his team members know it.

He compiled everything, big and small, and sent it all to future generations.

Things went so smoothly that Gao Cheng even had the illusion that he might be a spy genius, born to do this kind of work.

How much information do you think this kid passed on to future generations, how much intelligence about Beijing?
To put it simply, he even took the time to report on the daily training situation of the guard battalion.

How exaggerated do you think he must be?

I really felt that what I did was a bit excessive, especially after Lao Luo felt that I hadn't made it clear enough and added another sentence.

"Gao Cheng, don't take it to heart. I wasn't talking about you; I was cursing Hao Pingchuan."

The person was so embarrassed that their face turned completely red.

They simply couldn't withstand the pressure from Luo Yonghao, nor could they resist his little tricks.

After coughing, Gao Cheng finally loosened his grip a little and spoke some heartfelt words to Lao Luo and Hao Pingchuan.

"Uncle Luo, it's not that I'm hiding anything or trying to get information from us. The reason I'm not telling you is simply that there's nothing worth reporting. You all know what kind of person Brother Lang is."

"After he returned to our area, he spent every day either clinging to Ms. Xia or staying at home playing video games, rarely even leaving the house. Compared to him, even the most refined ladies of ancient times who never left their homes were wild and unruly."

"If it weren't for having to help transport supplies back and forth, he wouldn't even want to leave the house! As long as he's provided with good food, drink, and entertainment, it's normal for him to stay at home for half a year without moving, and he's not in a hurry at all."

"He has such amazing patience, but he doesn't have the drive of a young man at all. Even if I wanted to report this to you, I would have to have something to report! Am I supposed to tell you every day how long Lang-ge has been holed up at home and how many games he's played?"

"This is ridiculous, it has absolutely no value. Don't you agree?"

After Gao Cheng's explanation, Lao Luo and Bai Ling became even more helpless.

What are we going to do about this? Ximen Lang is always like this, even back in Beijing. If Bai Ling hadn't been constantly nagging him to stay cooped up like this, he'd be ruined. He has to do something, whatever it is.

He doesn't even want to leave the house!

you
Thinking of this, Lao Luo asked.

"Hey, what happened when you guys went out yesterday?"

When this was mentioned, Hao Pingchuan remained silent.

"There was really no other way. The guard battalion's post is in the middle of nowhere, with nothing at all. Plus, there's Master Liu's crosstalk show hanging outside, otherwise he wouldn't have been willing to move."

This left Luo Yonghao speechless.

But there was really nothing he could do about Ximen Lang's lazy nature, so he could only rub his aching head and say to Hao Pingchuan.

"From now on, try to find more interesting things to talk about with Alang, so that he can get moving around a bit. We can't let him stay cooped up like this all the time. How can he get any work done if he stays cooped up like this all the time?"

After saying that, Hao Pingchuan blinked and looked around at Bai Ling, who was also feeling helpless.

He muttered to himself.
"Hey, I'd completely forgotten about that."

He first greeted Hao Pingchuan with a righteous and stern expression.

"Submit that self-criticism as soon as possible, and remember it must be profound!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Pingchuan's face immediately turned bitter.

But Lao Luo didn't care.

He turned around and spoke to Bai Ling in a gentle tone.

"Bai Ling, you and I both know what kind of person A Lang is. He's not the kind of person who would mess around outside. He's very faithful! If you don't believe me, look, it's been so long, when have you ever seen him mess around outside?"

"Who? Him? He's just afraid of catching some dirty disease outside! Otherwise, with his philandering ways, he would have been a complete philanderer long ago! Do you think I don't know him?!"

This left Lao Luo speechless for a long time.

On second thought, I realized that this couldn't go on.

Moreover, given Ximen Lang's fearlessness, it's highly unlikely he would act recklessly outside.

In the end, Bai Ling didn't say much.

He waved his hand and said.

"Alright, alright, as long as he doesn't actually have any more casual sex outside, I won't interfere." Hearing this, Lao Luo was overjoyed and clapped his hands, praising Bai Ling for being sensible.

Bai Ling was speechless from all the praise, and she couldn't even be bothered to talk to Lao Luo anymore.

Luo then awkwardly stopped his pointless praise and turned to chat with Gao Cheng.

“Gao Cheng, I know it’s a bit difficult for you to report back. But you have to think about us too. We’re completely transparent with you, treating you with our whole hearts. But what about you? We know nothing about you, we don’t understand anything.”

"Of course I know that cell phones are of great importance. Especially the historical content on them, which is of utmost importance. Some of the more critical information must absolutely not be leaked! I will also keep Hao Pingchuan in check on this matter and make sure he doesn't bother you anymore."

"Did you hear that, Hao Pingchuan! If you dare to bother Gao Cheng again because of this, you can expect to write self-criticisms until you die! I'll personally supervise you; I refuse to believe I can't control you!"

Startled, Hao Pingchuan shrank back like a quail, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

"I wouldn't dare, I would never dare again, please don't worry!"

After settling things with Hao Pingchuan, Lao Luo changed the subject and continued.

"Of course, on the other hand, you can't talk about sensitive things, but relatively less sensitive things, like local customs and traditions, interesting stories from different places, these aren't sensitive things, right? It's okay, tell us more about these things, we love to hear them."

Hey, you know what, that's actually a pretty good idea.

This perfectly aligns with the grand strategic goal of later generations to establish a certain influence in Beijing.

Thinking this, Gao Cheng immediately agreed.

"Okay, as long as you don't mind my poor communication skills, I'll definitely tell you more about what's going on on our side. By the way, are you interested in the military parade? If you are, I'll download the video materials and send them to you later. Also, I can provide you with the field parade that Brother Lang highly recommends, the one from 17."

"In addition, there are natural landscapes in the wild. Various regions have developed unique scenic spots based on their local natural conditions, such as Huangshan, Taishan, Huashan, Tianzhushan, and Emeishan. These are all top-notch and have been developed exceptionally well. There is also Zhangjiajie National Scenic Area, where the scenery is first-class and the management is also particularly good!"

When it comes to the many merits of later generations, there are simply too many to count.

The list of unique scenic spots developed by various regions based on their local conditions alone took several minutes to explain.

This only mentions a very small, representative portion of them.

It fully demonstrates what it means to have a vast and abundant land, as well as the incredible scenic area development capabilities of later generations.

Then, the sheer number of domestic tourists, at least 50 billion per year, fully demonstrated the wealth of later generations.

It made Lao Luo and Bai Ling so envious that they were almost in a state of plasmon separation.

I'm so envious!

I couldn't help but sigh.
"If only we could be like you, so that the people could live a life free from worries about food and clothing, and no longer suffer from the ravages of war, how wonderful that would be!"

The heartfelt exclamation deeply moved Gao Cheng.

He patted his chest and guaranteed it right then and there.

"Rest assured, with our help and Brother Lang's assistance, coupled with your tireless efforts and hard work, the combined efforts of the three of us will one day ensure that the people of Beijing can live a life free from worries about food and clothing. And that day will definitely not be too far away!"

Lao Luo and Bai Ling absolutely believed what Gao Cheng said.

Originally, because they had future generations as a reference, they were already certain that even if they relied solely on themselves, they would definitely be able to reach the same heights as them in the future.

Now, we have the selfless help of Ximen Lang and later generations.

What is rhythm?
This sounds like good days are just around the corner!
Even if, as Ximen Lang said, having enough to eat and wear doesn't guarantee the happiness one has now, new troubles and anxieties are very likely to arise, causing immense suffering and stress.

But that's still better than them not even being able to get a full meal right now, isn't it?
Not to mention, from beginning to end, Lao Luo and Bai Ling firmly believed that the people in later generations had simply had too many good days and were just being idle.
Therefore, people's joys and sorrows are not the same, and they are not shared.

Simply put, each generation has its own troubles.

And what about Ximen Lang?
He is very distressed right now.

why?
Because he had never been to the coast of the Four Nine City World, and had no idea where there was a suitable place in the Four Nine City World to dock these warships, which were enough to form a fleet.

Bai Ling and Lao Luo are also included, because they are currently with the guard battalion, located outside Tianjin city.

Even if Ximen Lang found a suitable place to dock these warships and transported them all over, he still wouldn't be able to immediately display his divine power.

Isn't this ridiculous?!
In order to properly prepare this large package, Ximen Lang didn't even listen to Master Liu's crosstalk performance.

All that effort, and all I can do is show off!

How could Ximen Lang, who couldn't even hold back two ounces of sesame oil in his belly, not feel uncomfortable?

Therefore, seeing that he had already returned from the future, Lao Luo and Bai Ling were still here talking nonsense.

Ximen Lang was immediately displeased.

"What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and pack your things, let's get going and get there as soon as possible!"

He couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence.

Because he has no idea where to go next, what else is there to say?
Fortunately, Lao Luo and Bai Ling had already found a location for Ximen Lang. Back when they were still in Beijing, they had already selected a place that was very suitable for docking warships, and for a large number of warships.

The guard battalion, having anticipated this event upon Ximen Lang's return, had already packed everything up, ready to depart as soon as Ximen Lang, the main character, returned.

This improved Ximen Lang's mood a bit, as he was eager to show off.

But it's only gotten a little better.

The guard battalion quickly arrived at their designated position under the cover of night.

With the tacit cooperation of Lao Luo and the others, Ximen Lang finally placed the entire fleet in the designated sea area to his satisfaction.

Ximen Lang was finally in a much better mood.

Then, I waited anxiously for half the night, everything unspoken and unknowable.

The next day, it was just getting light.

For the first time ever, Ximen Lang got up very early and violently shook Bai Ling awake. Bai Ling was equally excited and couldn't sleep, but was still pretending to be asleep.

Then, with a sound.
"Stop sleeping! The fleet has arrived!"

The main force set off again and soon arrived at the sea area where the warships were moored.

Then, Bai Ling and Lao Luo, who had never seen such a scene before, were deeply shocked by the massive steel behemoths before them. (End of Chapter)
