Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 505 Road Pass? Go talk to me about invisibility potions!

This time, the clothes are completely different from the last time.

It has no fancy patterns and the colors are very plain; from the outside alone, it even looks somewhat ordinary.

Moreover, the fabric isn't particularly fine; it feels slightly rough to the touch.

Bai Li didn't mind and put it on herself directly.

This one is much simpler to wear than the previous one. The cut of the clothes is not as complicated, and it is easy to put on and take off.

But when the clothes were actually pressed against her back, Bai Li paused for a moment.

The fabric, which had felt slightly rough just moments before, now felt completely different against my skin.

He reached inside and touched it, barely feeling the original roughness of the fabric.

Bai Li turned up her clothes and looked inside.

It looks ordinary on the outside, but the inside is made with extremely fine care, with fine stitches, smooth seams, and the part that touches the skin is especially soft.

Miao Zhiming smiled and handed over the mask, some banknotes, and a special travel permit: "If it were made too extravagantly, it wouldn't suit Young Master Bai's taste. Besides, it's the end of the year right now, so it's just right to wear it out."

If you only look at the clothes, you won't think there's anything special about them, but you'll only know how much thought went into them when you actually wear them.

"Thank you for your kindness, Zhiming. How about we go for a walk?" Bai Li put on a mask, casually stuffed the precious paper and travel permit into his backpack, and then skillfully hunched over and asked.

Miao Zhiming stared blankly at Bai Li, whose demeanor had changed. He subconsciously wanted to nod, but then coughed lightly and shook his head, saying, "The end of the year is approaching, and there are many things to deal with in the city. There are still many things waiting for me to handle."

"If I were to go out for a stroll with you now, I'm afraid these matters would pile up like mountains when we return."

"Hiss~"

Bai Li touched the chin of his mask, his face grave: "Is my super intelligence doing too much? If this continues, won't it just explode one day?"

Miao Zhiming: "..."

Bai Li quickly added, "Since there's so much to do, why not ask someone for help? We don't have to do everything ourselves, whether it's easy or difficult!"

Miao Zhiming smiled broadly and said, "Young Master Bai is right. In fact, not all of these matters need to be handled by me personally."

"It's just that a few important things have happened to come at the same time recently. Once this busy period is over, things will be much easier."

Miao Zhiming said with relief, "What's more, we also have Senior Song's elder brother helping us with some matters. With him around, things are much easier."

"It would be even better if Senior Ying Sheng could take on more important responsibilities after he changes jobs!"

Bai Li said calmly, "It will be soon, in the next few days. I went to see Chang Geng before, and Li Daliang has made some progress. It won't be long before it's completed."

At that time, the regulations regarding job transfers can also be finalized.

Miao Zhiming smiled and said, "With that in mind, things will be much easier from now on."

"Um."

Bai Li replied, "If you're not going, then I'll go by myself first. You go ahead with your business and don't worry about me."

"it is good."

Bai Li left wearing a mask, hunched over, and deliberately walked slowly.

Miao Zhiming stood there until Bai Li was completely out of sight before he finally let out a breath.

"Now that the clothes have been delivered, let's go back and take care of official business."

……

Still not through the main entrance, still digging and then filling in, Bai Li arrived at the train station.

His journey was smooth.

After changing into ordinary clothes and putting on a mask, deliberately hunching over, he didn't encounter any acquaintances this time.

Unlike last time, he wouldn't be caught by Liu Yingyu.

Bai Li found a window seat and looked out. The train bumped along the way, passing through golden wheat fields.

It surged in overwhelmingly, rolling from one end of the road all the way to the horizon.

The wind slipped in through the cracks in the car window, carrying the scent of grass, trees, and earth.

Occasionally, you can see scholars working in the fields.

The train continued forward until it arrived in Heyang.

Bai Li got off the train and followed the crowd to the entrance of Heyang.

He entered Heyang County.

Of course, they didn't go through the main entrance, even though Miao Zhiming gave Bai Li a pass.

But if you take out your travel permit, you'll expose yourself.

So, adhering to the principle of not entering the main gate unless absolutely necessary, Bai Li took out the invisibility potion she had prepared long ago, drank it to become invisible, and put her clothes and mask into her backpack.

Then, in observer mode, he found a secluded corner of the city wall, took out a diamond shovel, dug a hole, and then filled the hole back in.

Then, they waited quietly for the effects of the medication to wear off before coming out again, dressed properly.

"The stealth operation was a great success!"

Bai Li began to stroll around.

Although he would occasionally teleport over to take a look, it was mostly just from the sky. In observer mode, he spent most of his time exploring the cities of Licheng and Licheng.

It is quite novel, though.

He walked along the street, and heard a commotion ahead.

"Make way, make way!"

"Hey, let me see this gold hairpin."

"Are there any smaller ones?"

Bai Li looked in the direction of the sound.

There's a jewelry stall on the street ahead.

The stall wasn't big, but it attracted quite a few people.

Several well-dressed women were crowding around the stall, selecting items. Many women passed by behind them, their eyes glued to the goods.

Bai Li also became interested and went over to take a look.

Shining with golden light!

A large amount of gold jewelry was displayed on the stall.

Gold hairpins, gold earrings, gold bracelets, and various exquisite gold jewelry pieces shaped like flowers and birds.

Although the design wasn't particularly exquisite, it shone brightly in the sunlight, making it quite eye-catching.

What's even more interesting is that there were several thick gold chains placed next to it.

Bai Li's gaze fell on one of them.

The chain was about the thickness of a little finger, with links of gold rings connected together, and it was made in a rather rough manner.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner quickly smiled and said, "Sir, you have a good eye! This is the sturdiest one we have on our stall."

Bai Li asked with a smile, "Can I try them on?"

"Of course, please feel free to try it, sir!"

Bai Li hung the thick gold chain around her neck.

The gold chain was pressed against his chest.

He looked at the bronze mirror beside him.

The reflection in the mirror showed a hunched back, a mask on the face, and a thick gold chain around the neck.

It looks rather incongruous no matter how you look at it.

But Bai Li found it increasingly amusing: "It's quite beautiful."

A person nearby overheard this and laughed, "That's right! These days, if you wear a pair like that out, everyone will know you're from a wealthy family."

Someone laughed and gestured with their arms outstretched, saying, "What's this? I saw an even thicker one the other day."

"It's this long!"

Outside the crowd, a young woman was also drawn to the commotion.

Her clothes were noticeably simpler than those around her. She held a child's hand and stood by the stall for a long time, her gaze fixed on the gold jewelry.

After a while, she asked in a low voice, "This won't be very expensive, will it?"

The stall owner said, "If you like it, young lady, you might as well come up and take a look. These gold ornaments are not as expensive as they were a few years ago."

As he spoke, he picked up a small gold ring.

The cabochon has no complicated patterns; it only has a thin ring of designs on it.

"Look, this one only requires twelve banknotes."

"twelve?"

The woman was taken aback.

The stall owner explained, "This is already the fair price I can offer. There's more gold in Licheng now, so the price has come down, which is why we jewelry makers dare to bring some gold back."
