Bright!

Li Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, although the feeling Xu Le gave her before was already very different from previous years.

But he was still very reserved, but now...

"Hello, Mr. Congressman."

Before Li Qingcheng spoke, Wang Man on the side bowed proactively and said with a smile.

"Wang Man, you..." Li Qingcheng felt a little unable to adapt to this rapid change. She didn't know what to say for a while, but after a few seconds, she said the same:

"Hello, Mr. Congressman."

Only then did Xu Le laugh:

"Haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"You have become a member of the House of Representatives. Of course I want to congratulate you, Brother Xu Le."

Wang Man was smiling. Compared to her natural and generous attitude, Li Qingcheng beside her looked much more awkward.

Xu Le blinked and pointed to the table next to him:

"have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"If you haven't eaten, let's eat some together. I have nothing to do anyway."

"Brother Xu Le has just become a member of the House of Representatives. Shouldn't this be a very busy time? Why do you have the time to come here for breakfast?"

Although he said it politely, Wang Man took the initiative to put down his small leather bag, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Li Qingcheng was a little at a loss, but when she saw Wang Man sitting down, she followed suit.

Before Xu Le ordered, Wang Man pointed to the most expensive breakfast and said:

"I want to eat this."

Xu Le tilted his head and glanced at it. It cost 18 yuan for a good guy. It was really rare to sell such an expensive product earlier. It was indeed the consumption level of the upper class.

"Okay, what would Law Enforcement Li want to eat?"

"Well, I'm fine with it."

After ordering breakfast, the atmosphere between the three of them fell silent again. Li Qingcheng was embarrassed to speak, while Wang Man was busy eating, and his appetite seemed to be quite good.

Xu Le barely ate and just looked at the two of them.

Wang Man, who had completed the liquidation operation here, raised his head, looked at the dinner plate in front of Xu Le and asked:

"Why, Brother Xu Le, don't you like to eat?"

"Ah, no, I'm just not very hungry."

"If you don't want to eat, can I eat?"

Wang Man's words startled Li Qingcheng, and she quickly poked him under the table:

"Wang Man, what are you doing?"

"I'm eating, what's wrong? It's shameful to waste food."

"Don't you want to lose weight?"

"But only when you are full can you have the energy to lose weight."

Listening to Wang Man's natural words, Li Qingcheng didn't know what to say, but felt that Wang Man had become very unreliable.

However, Xu Le didn't have any objections. He pushed the plate and said:

"I just took two bites. If you don't mind, of course I'll be fine."

"Oh, how could I mind you." Wang Man said casually.

Then he took the plate and continued eating.

Xu Le's observation skills are very keen, and he naturally knows that there is definitely a problem with Wang Man's appetite at the moment.

The portion of this 18-yuan set meal was huge. Normally, it would be impossible for a girl who was not a warrior like her to finish it.

But now it seems that this second set meal is not stressful for her.

"I heard that you no longer work in the art troupe and pursue your dreams?"

"If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"So..." Xu Le said doubtfully.

"Of course you have to chase your dreams, but people's dreams can be changed. My previous dream was too small, so I wanted to change it to a bigger one."

Xu Le nodded when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he slowly took out the black staff.

But before he could activate the black staff, Wang Man's foot stepped on Xu Le's foot.

Xu Le paused, stopped what he was doing, and then said:

"I'm also preparing to believe in the Holy Light recently."

Hearing what Xu Le said, Wang Man laughed out loud.

"It's light, not holy light. Light is always just a manifestation of energy. There's no need to link it with words like sacred."

"Is that so? I have always thought that light is a very sacred thing."

"Whether it is sacred or not depends on the user."

The conversation between Xu Le and Wang Man was a bit confusing, at least Li Qingcheng couldn't understand it at all.

"Wang Man, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, we just talked about sect issues."

"The problem of sects, light? I heard that there is an Illuminati in the lighthouse. Isn't that the light you are talking about?"

After Li Qingcheng asked, Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly, and then suddenly said:

"Yes, we were just talking about the Illuminati. Wang Man knows a lot more about this than I do."

Wang Man also smiled:

"I only know a few very superficial things."

"No, no, no, those who know first come first. How can this be considered shallow? If you don't understand something, you just don't understand it. If you don't understand and pretend to understand at this time, you will make some jokes.

Oh, by the way, Wang Man, you are no longer working in the art troupe, will you have other things to do next? "

Xu Le suddenly changed the topic, which made Wang Man a little surprised:

"I have something to do. I want to find something, but I can't rush it. What's wrong?"

Xu Le probably knew what she was looking for. Guangzhu only had half of his heart. Wang Man should have known that he had obtained the left ventricle, so she needed to find the right ventricle, but...

"It's like this. After becoming a member of Parliament, I needed to travel to other city-states for a friendly visit, and I happened to choose the lighthouse.

The lighthouse, that is the place that is known as the origin of light, not to mention the existence of the Illuminati.

I thought that after arriving at the lighthouse, I might be able to get closer to the light. Touching the light up close is really a desirable thing.

So I wanted to invite Wang Man to go to the lighthouse to see if there is a chance to touch what we are pursuing. "

Li Qingcheng felt Xu Le's invitation was strange, but Wang Man beside her was more touched.

She really didn't expect Xu Le to extend such an invitation to her, but if she went to the lighthouse...

Are the things on the tower the same as the world in the dream?

But if we go to the lighthouse, then who should be left to look for the light-forged right ventricle in Zion?

"This matter is of great importance. I may need to think about it. Sorry, Brother Xu Le, I'm afraid I can't reply to you immediately."

"It's okay, you can contact me before we leave."

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave first and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

"See you."

Wang Man got up and left without eating. Seeing Wang Man leave, Li Qingcheng nodded to Xu Le, got up and left.

After the two of them left, Wang Qingcai walked out in a hurry.

"Mr. Congressman."

"Okay, sit down."

"okay."

Wang Qing was actually here a long time ago, but he was very sensible and knew not to disturb Xu Le when he was chatting with others.

So Xu Le didn't come out until he finished the conversation.

"Member Xu Le."

"Don't be so troublesome. Let's call him Xu Le." Xu Le waved his hand and let it go. There was no need to keep calling him "Congressman".

"Okay Congressman, this is the contract I have drawn up. Please take a look at it..."

Wang Qing kept his posture very low. He was very aware of Xu Le's strengths and his own weaknesses.

Although Wang Xi should have become the family heir after his death, there were too many people who coveted his family fortune.

Without Wang Xi's power network and having not developed power in more than 20 years, he really couldn't support such a family, so he had to side with Xu Le.

Wang Qing is very smart. He knows that standing with Xu Le is not just standing on the side of power, but also standing on the side of the future.

Xu Le’s ancient music technology core represents progress.

You can never go wrong by standing with Xu Le.

When Wang Qing took out the materials, Xu Le was not polite and looked through them directly. However, when he saw that Wang Qing actually donated 10% of the family shares to him, he instantly frowned.

10% of family shares, is that a lot?

Considering the size of the Wang family, even Moen can't easily touch it, there must be a lot of them.

But does Xu Le need to care about this 10%?

Not required at all.

Xu Le knew very well that many people valued interests. In fact, he himself valued interests very much, but this huge 10% meant nothing to him today.

It’s really too little…so little that there’s no need to fight for it.

He is now Councilor Xu Le, the holder of the Guyinduo Technology Furnace and the creator of the energy core.

It can be said that as long as he insists on distributing soap every day, his wealth will reach a level that is immeasurable to the world.

10% may have been an astronomical figure for Xu Le in the past, but now he no longer needs it.

He just needs to maintain the purity of himself and his personality.

A person who immerses himself in research, does not care about worldly affairs, and devotes himself to Zion.

As for the income from selling soap, isn’t that what he earned?

"There is no need to give these shares to me." Xu Le pushed the materials back.

But when he declined, Wang Qing became anxious instantly.

"No, if I don't hold your legs tightly, I'm afraid I won't survive the next Red Moon Tribulation."

"What? Isn't Wang Xi dead? You didn't take over his power?"

"It's said that I'm taking over, but I'm a bastard and everyone thinks I'm a bastard. How can I be willing to listen to my orders?

I have to find a very thick thigh now, Mr. Congressman, if you don’t think it’s enough..."

Xu Le waved his hands quickly. He already understood Wang Qing's situation:

"You need a backer, right."

"Yes, I need a backer."

"Then invest this money in Zion Progressives."

"Zion Progressives do not accept investment..."

Xu Le was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the reason. Zion Progressives is a purely development research institution and should not accept additional investment.

If you accept too much additional investment, it will inevitably become profit-oriented.

"In this case, you can donate, set up a fund or something, and donate unconditionally."

"Is this okay?"

"Well, I'll let Uncle Li write a thank-you note to you."

Wang Qing hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Exchanging 10% of the family's shares for a thank you letter sounds ridiculous, but if he can be taken care of by Zion Progressives, it is definitely suitable for him personally.

"Okay, I'll get ready when I get back. Does the Congressman have anything else to explain?"

"Give us an airship R\u0026D factory, and give me half of your engineers with excellent skills, and Zion Progressives will pay them salaries, bonuses, etc."

Just let them cooperate with our technicians to conduct research on some new flying devices. "

Fully open the technology factory and provide engineering staff...

Every one of them was conditional on his own life, but Wang Qing agreed immediately without any hesitation:

"Okay, these are small things. Are there any other things?"

"Sponsor an airship to the lighthouse. Speaking of which... I haven't been on an airship for a long time."

Xu Le's eyes flashed with memories, and he didn't know whether he was recalling the airship or the things at the lighthouse.

…

Two days later, Xu Le and his party arrived at the Zion Capitol Building.

Alongside him were three other new MPs.

Arriving at the parliament hall, Xu Le saw a round table.

This was Zion's Round Table Council. The five members who had not changed their terms stood up one after another and applauded Xu Le and the others.

Xu Le also took advantage of the situation and came to the round table.

On the table are members' attire, uniforms, official seals, and very simple member's armbands.

These things are not very luxurious. Although Zion is very rich, when they reach the position of members, they no longer need to use money to show their status.

"Congratulations to the four roundtable members of Zion. I hope you can contribute to the construction and development of Zion in the future."

"Definitely." Xu Le nodded, put on the member's armband, then put on the member's coat, and then sat down.

"Now, the Zion Round Table Conference has officially begun. The first topic we want to discuss is the friendly visit session after the election..."

Maybe it’s because I’m not familiar with it yet, maybe it’s because I haven’t experienced this last test yet.

This meeting was not very nutritious, and basically focused on the friendly visit of the new congressmen.

Except for the elderly Ms. Mai, the other three members need to go to the lighthouse, Tianrui Lifeng, and Red Moon Temple respectively.

Xu Le has already chosen the lighthouse, and there is no competition in this matter.

The Lighthouse is not a good place. There is no oil and water, and the benefits are not great. Because the political system is similar to Zion to a certain extent, no one likes to go to that place.

Xu Le was willing to take the initiative to go to the lighthouse, and naturally the others had no objections.

"In this case, let Representative Xu Le go to the lighthouse to complete this friendly exchange visit."

"good."

Xu Le is neither humble nor arrogant. He does not have the timidity of a newly-minted congressman or the dullness of a researcher.

This made other congressmen confused for a while whether Xu Le's true character was the same as the previous rumors.

"Then we wish Councilor Hui Le immediate success."

"Thanks."

…

Back at the furnace, Xu Le came to the core room of the furnace first, without even having time to change clothes.

Because he had received too much soap before, Yama still piled soap here.

Although it didn't say it explicitly, Xu Le knew that it liked this job.

Being close to the tree, close to the ancient sound and its energy, is simply the most comfortable thing for a weird underworld type.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, I want to go out."

"long time?"

Xu Le thought for a while and found that the so-called friendly exchange interviews did not limit the specific time, but he personally felt that this time should be controlled slightly.

"I'll try my best to come back before the next Red Moon Tribulation."

Hearing what Xu Le said, Yan Luo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Xu Le was only going out for 3-5 days, but he didn't expect it to take so long.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"I'm going back to the lighthouse to finish some unfinished business and take a look at the situation at the lighthouse..."

Xu Le lowered his head and glanced at the left ventricle, which was still being drained of energy.

After such a long time, the left ventricle finally changed a little, becoming a little shriveled than before, but this is also very surprising.

It is hard to imagine how powerful the complete son of Gu Yinduo can be.

Yama pondered for a while:

"You're going to be gone for so long, so what are you going to do here?"

"The Council of Zion will increase a lot of protection here. As for the core position, aren't you there?"

Although it is very comfortable to be praised by Xu Le, Yan Luo knows that his strength is not strong enough.

"What if this place is attacked?"

Xu Le knew that the attack Yan Luo was talking about was probably the kind that ordinary guards and law enforcers could not defend against.

He thought for a moment, then walked to the side of the Ancient Yinduo Tree and placed his hand on it.

The spiritual energy pool was gradually extracted, and a tree-shaped mark was left on it by Xu Le.

"You left the mark of the Ancient Indo Tree on the tree? Where are the matryoshka dolls?"

"Hey, you even learned the word matryoshka. Not bad."

Yan Luo curled his lips. Being together with a person with cerebral palsy like Xu Le would be more or less influenced by him. This was inevitable.

"Tell me, what does this mark do?"

"When you feel that you can't deal with the current problem, put all your strength into it. When the time comes, there will be a guardian to protect the tree."

"protector?"

Yama was stunned. In his impression, he had always been the guardian of the Ancient Yinduo Tree.

The entire Guyinduo clan is running away, scattered, and dead, and there is no guardian left.

"What level of guardian is this? If I can't handle it, it's useless for ordinary guardians to come."

"Evil God level, is that enough?"

Yama was a little surprised, but still nodded.

"Although I don't know how you fooled the other party, the level of the evil god is indeed enough."

"Okay, that's about it. It's actually not a big deal. If I can practice the ability to teleport over long distances on the way, maybe I will come back to you."

Xu Le left the furnace core room as he spoke.

Back in the factory, everyone was waiting for Xu Le's arrival.

Xu Le was the first to say to Xia Libo:

"Mr. Xia, in the next period of time, it will be up to you to maintain the stable operation of the furnace. If there is nothing too urgent, just write to me.

If pressed, knock on the furnace core door, but don't open it. "

Xia Libo also knew that Xu Le was going out on a diplomatic mission, so he nodded:

"Don't worry, leave the factory matters to me. As long as there are no external attacks or the like, there will basically be no problems."

"Well, I know what you're capable of."

Then, Xu Le looked at the others and began to select candidates for this operation.

For normal friendly exchanges, there will be some people, but not too many. Once there are more people, the nature will easily change, and others will also doubt the purpose of your trip.

Xu Le had no idea about the internal situation of the Illuminati.

Therefore, in terms of personnel, it is more valuable than expensive.

Moreover, their visit to the lighthouse this time had an additional purpose.

"Logically speaking, there is no danger in this operation, but life is unpredictable, and some accidents will always happen, so the first is the main combatants, me, Ai Li, and Wang Shu."

As soon as Xu Le finished speaking, Gu Beichen walked out unconvinced:

"What do you mean? Am I not considered a main combatant?"

Wang Shu glanced at him, then nodded.

"Yeah, it doesn't count."

"Hmph, I'll show you my strength later."

The corner of Wang Shu's mouth twitched, 2.1 women every day, and he was still a warlock. Such strength was indeed astonishing.

"Okay, there are four main combatants including you. In addition, I also invited Miss Wang Man to accompany us."

"Wang Man?" Wang Shu and Gu Beichen said in unison, and even Ai Li looked at Xu Le strangely.

The three of them all have a certain understanding of Wang Man, but their understanding is not deep.

But it seemed strange to invite Wang Man over for such a thing. Isn't she a member of an art troupe?

Especially Gu Beichen, he glanced at Xu Le, then at Ai Li, and said with a bitter look:

"I think as men, we should be more dedicated and honest, don't you think so, Xiaoshu?"

Wang Shu glanced at him again, but ignored him.

Xu Le was also a little speechless. Did this dead prostitute tell him that he was single-minded?

"It sounds like you are very dedicated?"

"That's necessary, but I still don't understand why there are always girls who like an ordinary guy like you. In fact, there are quite a few good men in the world."

As soon as Gu Beichen finished speaking, Ai Li beside him couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Xu Le had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder.

"If you like a girl, you can't just look at her appearance."

"Of course, an interesting soul is also important." It was rare for Gu Beichen not to have a quarrel with Xu Le.

But Xu Le shook his head:

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that if you like a girl, you should not only look at her appearance, but also your own appearance. People should be a little self-aware."

Gu Beichen:......

Xu Le clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back:

“This time we have three things to do when we go to the lighthouse.

The first is to conduct friendly visits and exchanges with the newly elected members of Zion.

Second, keep it secret.

Third, keep it secret.

Okay, the meeting is over. Prepare new weapons, dice, ammunition, and get ready to go. "

"Are you going for a friendly visit or a war?" Xia Libo couldn't help but ask.

"When you don't have weapons, you are a lamb to be slaughtered, but if you have weapons, you are a messenger who defends world peace."
