King of Black Mist

After returning to Mingcheng, the three of them lived a step-by-step life again.

Do morning exercises in the morning, attend classes during the day (reflect, summarize, collect information, listen to lectures or sleep when tired), and practice mindfulness at night.

A fulfilling and satisfying five days.

During this period of time, after Yang Qinglan learned "Thorns" and "Call the Wind and Rain", he also learned "Toucan Style·Temperature Regulation". His talent in learning natural skills even scared Li Changzhou.

It’s hard to imagine what achievements she would have achieved if she lived in an ancient sect.

After learning "Toucan Style·Temperature Regulation", she changed this skill to "Shadow Cat". She still kept "Move Wind and Waves" and wanted to try to upgrade it to B level.

"Suddenly I had a hunch that my future nephew or niece might be a monster. ” During the last class on Friday, Li Qianxia said seriously in the [Three Sisters] WeChat group.

" @Long day, someone scolded your child"

"My brother is giving a PPT above. With a mother like you, it is inevitable that the child will be called a monster."

Yang Qinglan sent a smiling expression.

Li Qianxia thinks she is a bit scary.

In fact, she herself performed very well this week. Not to mention quickly adapting to the battle of "Instant Body", her training in "Divine Fire Diagram" has made rapid progress.

According to her progress, it would take less than a month to develop the potential for the first time - Li Changzhou's "Thunder Picture" took nearly two months.

After class, the three of them put their books back in the courtyard and headed to the subway entrance on Huaihai Street together.

"We can do the same as Little Carrot, right? Sneak in and save money on the ticket." Li Qianxia walked down one step at a time.

The woman standing in front of Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou looked back at her.

"I still have the tickets for the previous reward. I'll consider evading the tickets after I use them up." The woman took a step down, as if she didn't bother to stand with Yang Qinglan who said such a thing.

How could two such beautiful girls do such a thing!

Li Changzhou stepped back a step, pretending not to recognize the two of them.

Li Qianxia stood there and waited for a second. After he came over, she hugged his neck and put their arms around each other, proving to everyone that their qualities were equally poor.

"Aren't you awkward like this?" Yang Qinglan said, looking at the two of them.

She and Li Changzhou took the escalator, while Li Qianxia took the ordinary steps. Therefore, one of the two siblings, arm in arm, was motionless while the other moved on his own.

"Well -" Li Qianxia felt the difficulty of this act, "Fortunately, for a beautiful sports girl like me, it's a piece of cake."

Yang Qinglan crossed her arms - helpless and angry.

Is this a question of behavioral difficulty?

The behavior itself is uncivilized. Not only is it dangerous to walk like this, but it is also holding arms and legs.

Of course, the reason why she was angry was entirely because the person who behaved in an uncivilized manner was her friend, and the person who was hooked up was the person she was considering getting married to.

If it were someone else, let alone being angry, she wouldn't even notice.

After entering the subway station and swiping their tickets, the three of them appeared in the huge waiting hall again.

"I always feel that this should be an enlarged version of the high-speed rail station." Li Qianxia looked at the huge space in front of her.

"I've never taken the high-speed rail." Yang Qinglan looked at the players in the waiting hall.

"Come home with me during the Chinese New Year, and I'll take you to sit with you." Li Changzhou suggested.

"Eh-" Li Qianxia made a shuddering sound.

Yang Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, as if the wind was blowing on the snow-capped mountains, and the snow lotus swayed a few times in the wind, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

It is indeed a 9-point charm. Li Changzhou sighed in his heart and looked at the players in front of him.

As surreal as ever, there are elves, centaurs, snake women, mermaids, spider spirits, and centipedes with toad bodies (or toads with centipede heads).

All imaginable creatures from fables, folklore, myths and legends can be seen here.

A dragon-like creature is hovering over the hall, and a group of creatures (not just humans, so they are called creatures) are holding mobile phones and taking pictures of it.

"So handsome!"

"Definitely a strong player in the first stage!"

"How many genes are integrated into this!"

"Why don't Xia people kowtow?"

"I'm knocking my head, who knows if it's a fish, a donkey, or a snake - Hey, brother, please do a pose, so it makes you say 'oooh'."

Li Qianxia also took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the dragon.

Long seems to be enjoying the attention of the public, allowing others to take photos, and occasionally even posing in various poses.

"Someone bought the 'Designated Duel Talisman' and locked the 'Master'!"

The sudden sound suddenly diverted everyone's attention.

Six people happened to walk out of the store selling ‘designated dueling symbols’.

"Who?"

"How dare you bring trouble to the 'Lord'? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"So they are a team of six people."

"Six people are useless. The prerequisite is that they meet each other. The past is so long, who knows which time period we will return to."

"If they fail the challenge, it will be reported in the newspapers, right? No, maybe even interviewed."

"If they meet the 'Lord' and are still alive."

Li Changzhou was also looking at this group of people.

"Are you scared?" Yang Qinglan leaned over slightly and whispered.

"Well," Li Changzhou also moved closer, "So Miss Yang, you have to protect me."

The breath deliberately blew on her ears, which were as delicate as a newborn.

Yang Qinglan gave him an elbow.

"Hmm!" Li Changzhou held his stomach exaggeratedly, "Qing, Qinglan, from now on, everything without taboos will be yours. You must live a good life - hiss!"

Yang Qinglan really stepped on him this time.

"My Hongxing Erke costs 119 yuan!"

Yang Qinglan didn't expect that he actually felt sorry for the shoes: "I will buy you the most expensive pair when I come back this time."

"So good?" Li Changzhou looked at her suspiciously, "You step on me again? Otherwise, I suspect you have ulterior motives for me."

"You have an ulterior motive in asking me to step on you, right? I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing. I will satisfy you in the future."

"."

Li Changzhou thought she was a bit scary.

"Brother, brother!" Li Qianxia trotted back, "Brother, you're done!"

"You're done!"

"It's over, it's over, you're going to die, I'm really done!"

The sudden sensationalism made Li Changzhou feel embarrassed.

"No one will protect me from now on, no one will give me money, no one will give me skills, no one will share value and game currency with me, I can't even let Qinglan buy me anything anymore!"

Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou sighed at the same time.

"I'm going to release the radishes and butterflies." Li Changzhou walked towards the toilet.

"Let's go." Yang Qinglan took Li Qianxia to the store to buy newspapers and check out the props sold in the store.

In the toilet, radishes and butterflies were released.

"Why are you here again!"

"Woo!"

"We are not afraid even if we don't sense danger. What are you afraid of?" Li Changzhou flicked her head lightly with his bent fingers.

"I promised that I would only be a gardener! You lied!" Xiaoluobo covered his head, flew out, and directly relied on his sense of smell to find Li Qianxia.

The creature rushed forward instinctively and buried itself in her arms with great grievance.

"Haha, don't do this, I'm not used to it!" Li Qianxia took the little carrot away from her chest, feeling very awkward.

"This dungeon is about to start, players please get on the bus in order." An announcement suddenly sounded in the waiting hall.

It wasn't Satsuki's voice.

The three people who had been chatting became serious.

"Let's go." Yang Qinglan said.

"Yeah." The brother and sister responded at the same time.

Hmm——, accompanied by the sound of air, the train doors opened, like lathes for production and processing, and the long queues of players at each door were the materials that were stuffed inside.

The three of them entered the workshop box that Xiaoyue promised to keep for them.

"This bed is so comfortable. I don't know where I can buy the same style." Li Qianxia lay on the bed with big letters.

Yang Qinglan vaguely glanced at her slender legs, flat belly, and breasts highlighted by the autumn sweater. Then she looked at Li Changzhou and made sure that he was completely ignoring Li Qianxia before sitting across from him.

It seems that there is really no need to be jealous, so.

Li Changzhou looked at the newspaper: "Those in the national team performed well."

"Xiao Wusheng was interviewed and said that he looked forward to everyone becoming the second player to survive from the 'master'." Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

"That guy." Li Changzhou also laughed.

I don’t know if he is sincere, or he is riding a tiger that is too hard to get off, or he is trying to break the pot, but now Xiao Wusheng is completely promoting himself as "the only player who fought against the 'Lord' and survived" as a gimmick.

This will make people look down on him a bit, but it will also prevent him from being the first to be targeted by foreign people, and it will also prove that he is indeed capable.

"If he encounters me with the 'Designated Duel Talisman', I will let him go." Li Changzhou turned back the newspaper.

Yang Qinglan poured water for the two of them.

The train blew its whistle and the scenery outside the window receded rapidly.

A flight attendant knocked on the door and asked Little Carrot and Butterfly to pay for their tickets. When they saw Li Changzhou, they bowed with a smile and left.

"I wonder which year we will go back to this time, Qing Dynasty? Ming Dynasty? Or Tang Dynasty? I really want to see the four beauties Yang Guifei." Li Qianxia looked at the desert outside the window.

"Why don't you look at Miss Yang, the four great beauties?" Li Changzhou said without raising his head.

"I heard that fatness was regarded as beauty in the Tang Dynasty. If Qinglan is so thin, she would definitely not be able to compare with Concubine Yang in the Tang Dynasty."

"It's also possible to go abroad." Yang Qinglan didn't care at all whether she or Concubine Yang was more beautiful.

"Abroad, I only know about the Renaissance, the Triangular Slave Trade, the East India Company, the American Declaration of Independence, the French Revolution, um - uh, no more."

"Are you worthy of the tutoring lessons I gave you in high school?" Li Changzhou said heartbroken.

"It's illegal to make up lessons now! Be careful and I'll sue you!" Li Qianxia was not afraid at all.

"Lawless." Li Changzhou shook his head, not sure whether he was talking about Li Qianxia or his own plan.

He put down the newspaper he had read and reminded: "Remember, if you go to an era with communication methods, place an advertisement for rent in Bird's Nest Plain in the newspaper."

"I know-" Li Qianxia replied in a long voice.

"What should I do?" Little Carrot sat on the table with his legs bent, like a figure.

"You hide yourself," Yang Qinglan said. "How can you be safe? You can act as you please. You don't have to come to us."

"Okay." Little Carrot pouted.

At this time, singing came from the radio.

(Bus, subway, ship, plane, just like us, are destined to wander.)

(One day, I don’t know when, we will become our true selves.)

The bedroom became quiet.

"Everyone, be careful." Yang Qinglan said calmly.

"Yeah!" Li Qianxia nodded.

"Call me as soon as possible." Li Changzhou told Li Qianxia.

"I know, I'm so annoyed that you can't leave me for a moment?"

Li Changzhou didn't have time to teach her a lesson.

(They know nothing and are convinced that the world remains unchanged and continues as usual.)

(Not really, not really.)

(The world is changing irrevocably in places they don’t know.)

◇

Li Changzhou opened his eyes and tried to push open the wooden door in front of him.

Without pushing once, but with a little effort, the "wooden door" was easily opened, and at the same time he heard the sound of soil sliding.

"Baron J.P. Spencer Morgan," a woman dressed as a housekeeper stood on the grave and looked at him, "Prince J.P. Morgan has ordered you to go to Menlo Park immediately to protect Edison. This is the test for your promotion to Viscount. .”

The woods rustled in the night wind, and the pale moon passed through the gaps between the leaves and shone on the tombstone opposite. The moonlight just outlined the words.

[Time: 4 a.m. on July 12, 1880, midsummer]

[Location: Menlo Park Township, New Jersey, United States]

[Background: In 1880, Edison discovered that carbonized bamboo filaments were better than cotton filaments, but in 1854, Henry Goebbels had already used a carbonized bamboo filament to keep a light bulb lighting for 400 hours]

[Character: Day Spencer Morgan (Vampire Baron)]

[Main mission: Ensure Edison’s survival until 4 a.m. on July 15, 1880]

[Tip: All player’s ‘abilities’ have been converted into ‘blood energy’]

[Tip: Obtain temporary skills - blood absorption, first embrace, hypnosis, aphrodisiac, super recovery]

[Tip: Acquire temporary negative status - feed on blood, fear of the scorching sun, light skills and props cause four times the damage]

Li Changzhou climbed out of the grave holding on to the edge of the coffin.

[Notification to all players during the current time period]

【Notice! Notice! No taboos! The player 'master' returns to the current time! 】

He rubbed his hair, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled: "Not bad, it saved me the cost and time of publishing the newspaper."
