The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin said he was leaving today.

If it were Rebecca Levi, she would definitely have to stay with Ni Ni Wai Wai Wai Wai, or continue to linger with her until death.

But Miao Cuihua didn't.

She just responded lightly, and then said: "You know when I took my daughter to have a good meal, I couldn't even think about it. Now, I can't even think about it. This must be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. But guess what?”

It's up to Zhao Chuanxin to decide whether he wants to show his favor or not: "Sister Hua, please tell me what's going on?"

The two of them were lying on the pillows. Miao Cuihua put her arms around Zhao Chuanxin's neck and strangled him hard. She said funnyly: "After I jumped over the dragon gate, I found that there were dragons behind the gate."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Miao Cuihua rolled her eyes at him: "You are not allowed to carry dumplings with outsiders from now on, do you hear that?"

"Ha ha……"

Miao Cuihua asked him again: "When you join the Naraoshizi Arms Limitation Committee, are you waiting for someone to be fooled? A kid? Or a fool? They are really smart now."

"Yes, look at it."

"What if they don't fall for it?"

"If they don't fall for it, what's the difference between it and me suffering a loss?"

"..."

The two chatted for a while, Zhao Chuanxin continued to lie down, but Miao Cuihua got up and washed up.

The two old ladies at home haven't come back from rest yet. Miao Cuihua went to the kitchen and prepared a meal, while Zhao Chuanxin went to eat it without brushing his teeth.

Jiang Mingxin has not returned from Gao Li's house.

After the two of them finished eating, Miao Cuihua said, "I'm leaving in a hurry. You can leave it there after you finish it. When I come back to clean it up, I won't send it to you."

"Send it off, it's freezing and snowy, maybe we can still burn with passion for a while, how exciting is it?"

"screw you."

When Miao Cuihua went out, Zhao Chuanxin released the puppet slaves and the black puppet craftsman.

Some things were too shocking, more uncomfortable than being bathed in lightning on a rainy day, and were destined to be enjoyed by Zhao Chuanxin alone.

The black puppet craftsman writes quickly.

The puppet slaves cleaned and cleaned the dishes, wiped Zhao Chuanxin's leather shoes until they were shiny, ironed his clothes so that there were no wrinkles, and had to wash Zhao Chuanxin's hair and trim his beard.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw his new self in the mirror on January 1, 1909, it was really difficult to be dissatisfied.

Tilting his head from side to side, he remembered that it was time to drink "Nutrition Express".

After taking a dose of nutritional medicine, Zhao Chuanxin felt refreshed.

The deficit last night finally returned to balance.

He picked up the newly installed telephone and started to draw numbers.

"Hello, this is the Lugang Town Public Security Bureau..."

Before he could speak, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted: "Tell Fan Ziliang to come to No. 1 Yanguang Road Courtyard."

After saying that, he hung up arrogantly.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the black puppet craftsmen and puppet slaves, stood at the door and looked at his watch. It was not yet seven o'clock.

About twelve minutes later, Fan Ziliang trotted to the door of Zhao Chuanxin's house.

On the coffee table, there are several letters arranged by black puppet craftsmen in different categories.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the letter and handed it to Fan Ziliang along with a piece of ocean: "These letters should be given to the corresponding people."

Fan Ziliang bared his big bright teeth and said, "It will definitely be delivered."

That piece of ocean, according to the old rules, belongs to him.

Sir, he would never let his work go in vain.

When Fan Ziliang left in a hurry, Zhao Chuanxin raised his wrist and looked at Santos' watch. It was 7:03. He asked Xingyue: "Is it okay?"

"Leave at any time."

Zhao Chuanxin flashed out immediately.

Bronze Eye No. 12 is placed on the bedside table of Zhao Chuanxin's master bedroom at Ethan Manor in North Tarrytown, a suburb of New York City.

From January 1, 1909, Zhao Chuanxin returned to December 31, because the time in New York was more than ten hours slower than that in Lugang Town.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the spotless bedroom and nodded with satisfaction.

Freddy Pavitt is a competent British butler.

It was still morning in Lugang Town, but it was night in Ethan Manor.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed open the door and walked out in the corridor.

A servant appeared and screamed hysterically when he saw Zhao Chuanxin: "Ah..."

Zhao Chuanxin said angrily: "What the hell are you crying for? If you scream again, I'll cut off your little tongue."

The servant not only didn't stop screaming, but turned around and ran away.

For a moment, Freddy Pavitt was carrying the Lugang M1907, followed by Li Shutong who was holding a stove hook, and Liu Yuanshan who was very confident in his own skills with his bare hands.

"Master?" Freddy Pavitt was dumbfounded when he saw Zhao Chuanxin. "When did you come back?"

Zhao Chuanxin said dissatisfied: "Who are you looking for? He doesn't even recognize the head of the family?"

Freddie Pavitt put down his gun: "The previous servants left, so we have to recruit new ones."

Liu Yuanshan was extremely surprised to see Zhao Chuanxin: "Brother Charcoal Worker."

Zhao Chuanxin walked over and touched her head, making Liu Yuanshan's eyes widen and he took a step back shyly.

"Brother Yuanshan, haven't you grown much this year?"

Liu Yuanshan was stunned: "I won't be able to live longer in this life."

Li Shutong just nodded lightly towards Zhao Chuanxin: "Charcoal worker, you are here."

Zhao Chuanxin first went to the basement and put some bottles and cans of art collected after returning to China into dustproof and moisture-proof display cabinets.

Then the group went to the reception room.

Freddy Pavitt praised: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are looking even more energetic."

Freddy Pavitt was a man of etiquette and detail.

Zhao Chuanxin was dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes, his leather shoes were shiny, his hair and beard were meticulously groomed, and he wore a pair of glasses, which reduced his murderous aura and made him more gentle, which made Freddy Pavett feel relaxed and happy. Except that Zhao Chuanxin had three buttons of his shirt undone, which was very unpresentable...

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the sofa, one foot casually stepped on the coffee table in front of him, lit a cigar and asked: "What exactly did Philander Knox want to talk to me about?"

Freddy Pavett shook his head: "He said he had something important to do, and he probably wanted to cooperate with the master, but he refused to tell me the details of the specific matters."

Zhao Chuanxin was about to speak when Xingyue's words appeared on his glasses: You need to adjust to the time difference. Tonight we will transform the soft gold armor, and tomorrow we will set off to increase the probability of a suitable teleportation location for the energy fluctuation convergence rune fragments. My plan will take two days, and you'd better meet him in two days.

Zhao Chuanxin swallowed what he was about to say: "You make an appointment with him to meet here in two days."

Freddy Pavitt did not tell Zhao Chuanxin that Flanders Knox was in New York at this time, and it was no big deal to let him wait for two more days.

"I will tell him, sir."

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhao Chuanxin asked Liu Yuanshan: "Brother Yuanshan, how is your study going?"

Liu Yuanshan did not complain about how many times she was looked down upon and discriminated against this year, and how difficult it was for a girl to study in a foreign country.

She did not say any of these.

She said with excitement on her face: "I have learned a lot, mainly hard coal coking, hard coal steelmaking, tar dye industry, such as the British William Henry Platinum's method of mass production of aniline purple. I also learned about carbon fiber and various conductors, insulators and semiconductor materials for light bulbs. In addition, there are electroplating, electrolysis, welding, electric spark and other processes. But, brother carbon worker, the most amazing thing is celluloid. Do you know what it is? My mentor also said that there will be more synthetic materials in the future, and our world will change dramatically. Before going abroad, I never thought I would see a brand new world..." Celluloid? Isn't it just plastic? Zhao Chuanxin knows it too well. He was more excited than her: "Have you learned it all?"

Liu Yuanshan's eyes were firm: "I dare not say that I have learned it, but I have learned it, even if I don't understand it, I will remember it by burning the midnight oil. Sometimes I don't understand the meaning of those words, so I will find someone to verify it repeatedly until I understand it. Brother Tan Gong, I won't let you spend money in vain."

Zhao Chuanxin really admires the people of this era. He can't figure out whether they are really smart, or the environment forces them to be more motivated than others, or other reasons.

Liang Qichao was able to learn Japanese on the way to Japan, and Li Shutong was even more amazing. He was able to master everything related to art he had come into contact with, and Liu Yuanshan, a little girl who didn't even know English before, kept up with the progress of college with a very weak foundation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanxin was very embarrassed, as if he was the worst.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin pondering, Liu Yuanshan said with a lack of confidence: "Brother Tan Gong, I have an unreasonable request."

Zhao Chuanxin came back to his senses: "You say."

"I want an interference microscope." Liu Yuanshan said embarrassedly.

Microscopes are expensive, and interference microscopes are even more expensive. Interference microscopes are micromolecular interference microscopes, which are actually infinitely close to the standards of metallographic microscopes, but of course they are not electronic.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was thinking about it, Liu Yuanshan explained anxiously: "If I have an interference microscope, I promise I will treasure it."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "Stop talking, stop talking, our family has the conditions, buy it!"

In fact, there is a condition.

He winked at Freddy Pavitt: "Can you squeeze out the money for a microscope from the Dining Car Gang?"

Freddy Pavitt smiled: "Master, let alone the Dining Car Gang, even Andrew Miller of the Chamber Pot Cult can easily get you enough money for a microscope."

I'm so angry...

If Freddy Pavitt hadn't said it, Zhao Chuanxin would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

At the beginning, he instigated a charlatan in prison. It seems that this charlatan is doing well in cheating and eating.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately made the decision: "Okay, let's get money from Andrew Miller to buy an interference microscope. This is up to you."

When they were talking, the silent Li Shutong wanted to say something several times but stopped.

When they finished, he called it quits and swallowed his words.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't let him go: "Xishuang, what about you, have you learned piano and violin?"

Li Shutong said briefly: "Yes."

"What about others?"

"Do you mean opera or stage play? I can perform on stage, but they won't allow me because of my Chinese identity." At this point, Li Shutong looked depressed.

When faced with injustice, Liu Yuanshan became more and more courageous, but Li Shutong became decadent.

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his ears. Damn New Yorkers, they really remember to eat but not to be beaten.

After talking for a while, Li Shutong asked Zhao Chuanxin when he would leave this time.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "If nothing unexpected happens, we will leave in two days."

It is December 31st in New York now, and under the street lights in the yard outside, you can still see the shadows of Christmas decorations.

Li Shutong heard him so anxious and finally couldn't help but said: "Tan Gong, I want to go back to China."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin had no objection to this, but the first thing he thought of was that although they were in different schools, Liu Yuanshan must have felt that he and Li Shutong were companions in the United States. Whenever he returned to Isen Manor, he could still meet and reminisce about old times. If Li Shutong If he leaves, Liu Yuanshan will definitely feel lost.

The Qing court liked to hire foreign engineers, but Zhao Chuanxin felt that only his own people were reliable.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Liu Yuanshan, and sure enough, Liu Yuanshan's face was full of astonishment.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Chuanxin said to Liu Yuanshan: "Brother Yuanshan, I am going to set up a study abroad department and send our Chinese students to study here. Massachusetts Institute of Technology is only more than ten hours away from New York, so I hired you as a study abroad department. Minister, responsible for studying abroad, how about it?”

Liu Yuanshan had not been lost for long when he was suddenly "entrusted with an important task". He was caught off guard and nervously said instinctively: "It won't work. How can I take care of it? I don't recognize anyone, and they may not listen to me. I... …”

"Essentially, this is a hometown association, so that everyone will not be bullied when they come to a foreign country. When they feel wronged, they have someone to talk to. You are equivalent to a big sister and a study abroad consultant who specializes in giving guidance." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "If no one listens to you, just reason with them. If it doesn't make sense, I remember that you also know some boxing and kicking skills? Just go ahead and do it. If you break it, it will be mine."

Liu Yuanshan: "..."

She completely forgot about the feeling of loss, she was in a state of confusion, and thought what Zhao Chuanxin said was funny.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin nodded to Li Shutong: "Go back and let Freddy buy you a boat ticket. Maybe you can catch up with the Chinese New Year. After you go back, go to Lubin Mansion. I have something to do." It’s up to you to do it.”

Zhao Chuanxin also cannot let Li Shutong's head and body idle. Once they are idle, maybe this guy will transform into Master Hongyi...

Lao Zhao has deep prejudices against Buddhism.

Li Shutong was indeed curious and asked: "I can't carry it with my shoulders, so what can I do?"

"I will teach art in schools in Lubin Mansion. In addition, I will open a theater and you will be responsible for it." This is all part of Zhao Chuanxin's plan. "When the time comes, I'll find someone to ask you to make a movie and be the director."

Li Shutong was indecisive and often had the idea of ​​passively retreating from the world.

But he is not afraid of what he is good at. Not only is he not nervous, but his eyes are shining: "Theatre? Movie? In Lubin Mansion?"

"Why, are you looking down on our Lubin Mansion? There are many Chinese and Russians in Lubin Mansion. Mao Zi is very talented in art. Don't let them destroy the prestige and morale. I know a child who can sing opera twice as well. Hello. Once the theater opens, it’s guaranteed to be full.”

Li Shutong thought of something and asked: "Is the theater open to all scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants, or is it only gentry?"

"Even the beggar can enter, of course, provided he buys a ticket."

Li Shutong said excitedly: "Okay, I will live up to your trust."

Zhao Chuanxin dismissed them.

He didn't go back to sleep. Why did he sleep when he just woke up?

Arriving at the fitness room where Miao Cuihua and the others used to practice dancing, Zhao Chuanxin regarded it as a temporary studio.

He released the black puppet craftsmen and puppet slaves to make preparations, while he took stock of his equipment first.

He has taken Dali Pills, there is a hemostatic film in his blood, stone water with full anti-toxic properties, he drank a bottle of vitality potion, Naxin potion and several bottles of Nutritional Express, and his body has intricate starry sky roots that can absorb solar energy. , has a heart of the Holy Spirit that can sense nature, and has an auxiliary limb formed from a soulless body on his arm...

The Fire of the Old Gods is an inexhaustible source of energy that pairs well with Crucible Brand of the Old Gods and Ethereal Traveler.

The original Fortitude Armor and Fire-Concentrating Armor have now been dismantled into a pile of materials.

There are two cornerstones of the ladder.

A hammer of Thor.

A mud trowel glove.

The shadow cloak struck.

The Vertigo Light was passed to Benjamin Goldberg.

There are three old sacred altars with 60 bronze eyes made of true seeing crystal.

One vocal organ.

A pair of violent armor.

Greetings from Lord Runzhi.

The scale shield and the Dragon Capturing Ring made from the piranha's throat bone were both damaged in the battle.

A set of Balrog underwear that fully enhances his cold resistance properties.

Of the ten pocket technologies, seven were integrated into the secret realm pendant. The remaining three were given to the eldest disciple Benjamin. Two are left in hand. One will be passed on to Yao Bing in the future, and the remaining one is to be determined.

An indestructible gray cutter.

A pair of desert roots.

A stone of answers.

A cyclone kitchen knife.

Ball No. 13 was dismantled by Xingyue. He holds it in his hands every day. He doesn’t know whether it has become patinated or whether it has become jade...

Several explosive arrows and two throwing knives.

A pair of soft gold armor with a dragon's breath launcher and a devil's precognition visor installed on it.

A lightsaber.

An elf carving knife.

Paired with the M1907 loitering rocket that will cost you three thousand lives and the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle...

and various firearms and ammunition.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that there was still room for optimization in the equipment library, with less effort and improved strength.

Xingyue said: "I need your help."

Zhao Chuanxin put away the equipment lying on the floor.

Xingyue said: "I want to remove the short worm silk from the soft gold armor and use the long silk we grabbed from the treasure house. It will improve the mobility. The original fire armor saw boatworm shell material is high in strength and is installed on the soft gold armor. The back of the armor, under the ribs, the inside of the arms, and the insides of the legs are used to pull the black dragon's wings."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up when he saw the structural diagram given by Xingyue on his glasses: "Can you fly?"

"It can't fly, it's just gliding." Xingyue denied: "This is to prepare you for using the energy fluctuation convergence rune fragments. If the location that appears next is high in the sky, at least it will give you the ability to glide and prevent you from falling to death."

"..."

The shell of the shipworm is combined with soft gold armor, and is controlled by the central control rune to retract and pull the insect silk.

The insect silk is connected to the black dragon wings that Zhao passed down from the Salamander Tribe before, a kind of transparent wings that are thin, soft but very tough.

Usually, the black dragon's wings are rolled up in a miniature cabin made of the shell of a shipworm. When necessary, they are pulled out by worm silk and held in place under the armpits and ribs. The same operation is done between the legs, which is equivalent to a wing suit.

There are four long and short wings on the back of Zhao Chuanxin made from the inner membrane of the sawfly. They are modified from the fire-collecting cloak made from the inner membrane of the sawfly. The two long wings can be unfolded horizontally to increase the wind resistance area, and they can also be adjusted vertically, but they cannot fan. Two short wings adjust the direction horizontally behind the back.

The only drawback is that the Soft Gold Armor loses the function of the Fire Armor to maintain balance and stability when stepping on the Misty Traveler at high speeds, but it increases its ability to stay in the air after being knocked upside down, so there will never be an accident of rolling in the air.

Zhao Chuanxin searched the Desert Emperor's treasure house for several materials that could be used to fill and seal the soft gold armor joints.

Will install them all tonight.

Zhao Chuanxin, the black puppet craftsman and the puppet slave were busy all night long.

Until the morning light opened slightly, Zhao Chuanxin stretched and finally pulled out the last worm thread.

The soft golden armor was closed, Zhao Chuanxin helped him up, got into it and tried it for a while, but found no problems before declaring it completed.

Xingyue said: "The refresh time of the "Old God Code" has changed from night to morning. The progress cannot be delayed. I need the fearless vanguard to teleport to Rune City to ask for the remaining logic integration manuscripts from the descendants of the nobles."
