Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Zhou Li woke up from his dream and struggled to get up from the sofa - he dreamed again that he was beaten by his sister when he was a child

    Since Zhou Li left home, he seems to have had such dreams continuously, but what is the cause of being beaten in the dream?  He couldn't remember

    But if you have a dream, you must have something to think about.

    Zhou Li always felt that he missed her very much, but he didn't know where she was now.  No matter what, you will definitely continue to crush other people's self-confidence with that arrogance, right?

    Imagining her appearance, Zhou Li couldn't help laughing, rubbing his eyes and getting up from the sofa.

    Fu Xiu has disappeared. I don¡¯t know if she was shy and ran away after waking up, or she was bored and went somewhere to play.

    "ready or Not?"

    This was the first question Taote asked when he walked downstairs.

    Zhou Li walked beside him, nodded and said, "It's okay, but what exactly is it?"

    "Watching a show" Taote paused and smiled sinisterly: "Slap in the face."

    Zhou Li was confused and didn't know why, but the old man rarely explained, and just waved for him to follow.  Breakfast was still not finished, but Zhou Li was already prepared for this.  He looked at the booth on behalf of Wei Zai. Wei Zai went out and bought a big bag of bread and fruits and came back. Then the two of them sat behind the booth and ate.

    Sitting on the black box, Zhou Li looked at the large number of products that had not yet been displayed. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis as if he were sitting on the munitions and eating breakfast, especially when there was a bottle of half-solidified strawberry jam next to it.  When the red 'Dragon's Breath'

    But this thing is stable in nature.  As long as the alchemical circuit attached to the sealed bottle is not destroyed, even if the outside becomes a furnace.  There won't be any changes at all.

    If you want it to explode completely, you must use a small electrolysis device.  So there is no need to worry at all.

    "But, what on earth does the old man want to do with this?"

    After eating, Zhou Li lay on the chair and played with the 'Dragon's Breath' in his hand. After understanding the nature of this thing, Zhou Li could play with confidence and boldness.

    Wei Zai heard this.  He shook his head slowly and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

    The palm-long and wide bottle rolled from Zhou Li's hand, sometimes flying up and sometimes falling.  The tentacles are cold.  It was as if the liquid inside was spontaneously absorbing the surrounding heat.

    The bright red viscous liquid slowly flows as the bottle flies up and flips, making all the alchemists passing by change their expressions.  In the end, there were so many people protesting that even the exhibition organizers gently reminded: For your safety and everyone else¡¯s, please don¡¯t play with such dangerous items.

    There was no other way, so Zhou Li had no choice but to put the thing back on the stand. When he turned around, he couldn't help but look at the black box placed in the middle in confusion.

    It¡¯s about the size of a takeout pizza box. It hasn¡¯t been touched since Taote put it there yesterday, and the introduction sign hanging below is also blank.

    Pure black alloy box.  It stands out among a group of exhibits, but there is no explanation, but it is very similar to Taote's style of "Look at it if you like it, or get out of here if you don't like it".

    "Where did that guy go?"

    Zhou Li looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and shook his head helplessly.  In just this moment, a person squeezed forward with a smile on his face. Before he could speak, Zhou Li found a business card thrust into his hand.

    "If you want to inquire or have business cooperation, please call the master workshop yourself. We do not provide any services other than exhibitions."

    Zhou Li didn't even give him a chance to speak.  Anyway, he had seen a lot of this kind of people in the past two days, so he immediately turned around, returned to the chair behind the booth, looked at his watch, and silently counted the time to eat.

    It¡¯s ten o¡¯clock, and there are still two hours before dinner.

    Zhou Li leaned back on the chair leisurely, took out a baguette from the bag that Wei Zai brought back, and was about to start eating, when he heard someone sneer from behind him.

    Turning his head, a man with some gray hair was looking at the booth and sneered. Zhou Li still vaguely remembered his name because the guy who stood in front of Taote and was humiliated mercilessly was from the 'Dogma College'  Fenris?

    "Where is he?"

    Fenris looked at the booth from side to side, the look of disdain in his eyes getting even worse: "Are you scared? Did you run back to your hometown early? What a lucky guy, at least you don't have to be humiliated by me in public"

    Who is he in Fenris's mouth? Zhou Li can know it with his toes. Who else could it be?

    It seems that he is still worried about the threat of Taut. This time he brought two big and round guards, wearing clothes with "Dogma Academy" printed on them.He was wearing a black uniform with an insignia and a strange-looking weapon hanging from his waist.

    Zhou Li chewed the bread in his mouth. After swallowing it, he raised the hard baguette in his hand and pointed in the direction of Fenris: "Behind you."

    Immediately afterwards, Fenris heard the sound of the gun bolt and the heavy sound of wind.

    Bang!

    An old hand pressed on his shoulder, slamming him against the booth arrogantly and violently. His cheek was close to the scarlet dragon's breath flowing quietly in the bottle, but his expression was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.

    Because, at that moment, he felt the coldness on the back of his head - it was the special experience brought by the gun barrel.

    Not far behind him, the two bodyguards suddenly changed their expressions. They did not expect that this old man who looked wizened had such terrifying power, and he also put a deadly weapon on the back of the professor's head.

    There was no time to think about it, they instinctively prepared to attack, but there was someone faster than them.

    Before their palms could touch the handle of the weapon, they were greeted by a 'French stick' that was broken into two pieces at that moment.  The sudden attack caused their movements to pause for a brief moment.  Immediately afterwards, two black figures stepped on the booth and rushed out from behind, arriving in front of them in an instant.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhou Li showed them a gentle and kind smile, held the guard's hand that was about to reach out to pull out the weapon, and then

    Bang!

    The violent impact of the knee on the abdomen made his opponent bend down instantly.  Immediately afterwards, Zhou Li skillfully stuffed the 'gentleman' into his open mouth.

    "Don't move. You will die." Zhou Li stood beside him and reminded him calmly.

    Relative to him.  Wei Zai's solution was as straightforward as ever. Because of his ability, he felt that the situation was about to change earlier than Zhou Li.

    So, at that moment, get up and rush forward.  A half-step collapsed fist.

    So the person flew out.

    The riot caused by Taote spread againbut this time it attracted many onlookers.

    There have been several provocations and fights between the two workshops in the past two days, but this is the first time that organizations at the level of 'Master' and 'Dogma Academy' have fought each other.

    Therefore, you still have to watch the excitement that should be seen. The nature of the people is always gossip.  And it¡¯s such a fun thing to hear and see. If you don¡¯t watch such a big gossip, you won¡¯t be able to afford the ticket price!

    Therefore, soon a dark crowd gathered, watching the changes in the venue with sparkling eyes. If it were not forbidden to take pictures and videos, I am afraid it would not be just watching.

    Being supported by so many people, Taote said there was not much pressure.

    In one hand, he was holding a large-caliber pistol that he had pulled out from nowhere, and with the other hand, he was holding Fenris firmly on the stand. His expression was relaxed and content.

    Right behind him, Taote slowly pushed the trigger with his finger.  Then, the barrel of the gun lightly hit Fenris' slightly trembling shoulder.  Bending down, Taut whispered in his ear:

    "You know what? If someone from the 'Dogma College' dares to walk in like this in my workshop, I will make you kneel down first, and then tell your assistant to go to the smelly ditch to find your body."

    Fenris, who looked pale, was trembling angrily, but he felt Taote pressing his palm as if it were made of steel. Even if he tried all his strength, he could not lift it.

    The sights and whispers of the crowd drove him crazy with rage, and he wanted to roar and curse.  But he understood that this would not help.

    He didn¡¯t know that Taote had almost defeated the ¡®Emperor¡¯ in a drunken arm-wrestling game, nor did he know what Taote had secretly done to his body.

    Although after the passage of time, Taote has become as old as a shriveled old man who will die at any time, his body and bones are still strong and heavy. When he is angry, he is like a bear from the polar cold current, so violent that it makes people heartbroken.  shock.

    Seeing the unconcealed fear in his eyes, Taote nodded with satisfaction, slowly raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and whispered:

    "Let me guess, why did you come to me today?  Are you looking for death?"

    The old man murmured in sudden realization, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of his head again, making Fenris's face become paler and paler.  The muzzle of the gun was quickly raised again, and Taote shook his head with regret: "Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it."

    After torturing Fenris enough, Taut took off a sign from his chest and laughed strangely: "Aha, it's because of this"??Is there something good you want to show off to me?  "

    In his hand, the identity tag with a white background, printed with the words "Product Launch", was tossed in Taote's hands, and finally he threw it to Fenris without interest.

    As Taut's hand loosened, Fenris finally struggled up from the booth. His face was livid in the eyes of the onlookers who were puzzled or gloating about his misfortune. His original gentle expression revealed a hint of hidden hiddenness in his slight trembling.  The resentment and ferocity below.

    Taote took a step forward nonchalantly, lightly patting the wrinkles on his clothes with his palms, but in the end it restrained his movements like iron pliers.

    Although it seemed that the atmosphere between the two had relaxed a lot, it was now even more tense than before.  Fenris tried to struggle several times, but after being unable to get away, in order not to become even more embarrassed, he gave up the struggle and allowed himself to be manipulated.

    Putting on his warm smile again, Taote picked up the identity tag from his body, pinned it gently on his collar, brushed the dust on his shoulders, and whispered softly: "Okay, thank you for your kind invitation.  .Now, kid, grab your stuff and get out."

    The hand that was tightly clasping Fenris finally loosened, Taote took a step back, looked at Fenris with a livid expression, and said something that made Zhou Li feel a little surprised:

    "Don't worry, I'll be back later. After all, this is a conference held every three years. I also want to know what new toys you have developed."

    I heard what Taote said.  Anger and viciousness flashed through Fenris's eyes, and he staggered back two steps.  His expression turned into a sneer: "Just wait for the moment when you fall into the dust from that corpse position."

    As if he had something to rely on, he was full of confidence. After one last cold look at Taote, he turned and left.

    After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Li returned to him and asked doubtfully: "Are you really going to go? Don't you look down on them?"

    "Go. Why don't you go?" Taote looked at Zhou Li as if he were an idiot: "If you don't go, how will you watch the show?"

    Zhou Li suddenly understood: "Do you want to make a scene?"

    Taote just sneered: "Garbage never goes into the trash basket by itself. Someone needs to remind it or sort it In order to keep the environment quieter. I don't mind being a guest cleaner."

    Zhou Li looked at the old man who was full of bad blood and shrugged helplessly: "Then I'll just wait and watch the show."

    "No." Taote smiled: "You are also one of the actors."

    Hearing that this damn old man had plotted against himself, Zhou Li immediately twitched and shook his head: "Don't even think about it."

    Taote said it didn't matter, he just looked down at his nails and said inadvertently: "It's time to pay back the money you owe me, right?"

    So, the problem is solved.  Both parties said they were 'satisfied'.

    ¡­¡­

    Just in the southeast corner of the exhibition hall, the ¡®Miskatonic University¡¯s¡¯ booth, covering an area of ??hundreds of square meters, has been arranged into a small venue.

    In addition to the booth at the front used to display released products.  Seats were already filled everywhere else.  The first few rows were filled with alchemists and representatives of ability societies from all over the world, and the hundreds of seats in the back were also filled. Even so, there was still a large, dark crowd standing behind, watching.  Looking at the empty booth, waiting for the opening.

    Just like a fruit company¡¯s twice-yearly product launches, Miskatonic University, as one of the world¡¯s alchemy product manufacturers, will produce a large number of classic products at each launch.  While it is exciting, it also shows off its own strength in alchemy.

    This university, which was originally affiliated with the 'Supernatural Foundation', was initially an alliance of colleges headed by the 'Elders Faith Academy'. It was mainly dedicated to researching the sources of abilities, teaching the application of abilities to people with abilities, and other related technologies and knowledge.  A college that exists for a purpose.

    It was only between World War I and World War II that under the influence of the current situation, it was further expanded and added a research laboratory for alchemy. It recruited many alchemists from various countries. It is said that many of them have left their names in history.  Physicists and biologists have had many contacts with this college.

    Nowadays, the alchemy research department and another part of the confidential projects have been reorganized and merged into a large research institute. Not only has the research direction changed, but even the style has changed from the gentle in the past to the crazy now It makes  People are completely unable to understand what happened in the middle, nor do they understand what they are studying by locking themselves in a building dozens of floors underground.

    Old man Taut may know a little bit,?Maybe because of this, he hates the "Dogmatic Academy" so much.

    But even so, the relationship between most workshops and Miskatonic University is not very good. After all, no one likes a behemoth that has eaten up 60% of the market and once wanted to monopolize the entire alchemy industry.  .

    Cutting off people's wealth, killing their parents Various techniques passed down from the Middle Ages are still preserved. The 'workshop' passed down through the relationship between family and master and apprentice cannot be on the same side as the 'dogmatic academy' from the beginning.  .

    Fortunately, although the output of the workshop is small and the production cycle is long, there are many fine products and even masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.  Therefore, after joining forces, they can barely compete with the 'Dogma College'.

    However, in the past few years, the ¡®Alchemy Society¡¯ seems to have been eroded a lot by the Dogmatic Academy, making many people feel that this mutually competitive situation is about to begin a new change.

    At this moment, right in front of the venue, many alchemists were whispering something and exchanging opinions with each other. Some people were optimistic about the 'Dogma Academy', while others scorned it.

    The middle-aged man from ¡®Longyuan¡¯ was holding a cigarette in his mouth silently, and a trace of solemn iron gray seemed to penetrate into the darkness of his eyes.  He sat in his seat and said nothing.

    The red-skinned old Indian man holding a big turban seemed a little anxious.  He kept saying something to the assistant beside him.

    The dark-skinned Egyptian lowered his head as if sleeping.  The tattoos on his face are constantly swimming like living creatures, like an ever-changing pattern of ferocious beasts.

    Several people who looked somewhat military in temperament were sitting in their seats, looking meticulously in front of them; representatives from associations of ability users from various countries also gathered in a group to exchange opinions.

    They are the biggest buyers. After this triennial exhibition, there will be a flurry of orders from various countries.  Then let each workshop run at full capacity for a new round of production.

    To a certain extent, this is a different kind of arms race, except that alchemical weapons are more expensive than ordinary weapons.  And it cannot be installed.

    And right at the front, old man Tote lowered his head and cut his nails in boredom, while Zhou Li next to him looked curious.

    "In short, they invited representatives from all the participating workshops because they wanted to prove their strength. After all, the title of 'God of Forging' has been hanging above my head for more than 20 years, and they hit me every time.  , I guess I can¡¯t bear it anymore.¡±

    In the front row of the venue, Zhou Li sneered disdainfully when he heard Taote's words.  While saying: "But they are still young. When it comes to alchemy, I am the master. They just need to hold on to their shoes."

    "Okay." Zhou Li nodded and pointed to the black iron box in the old man's hand: "But what is this for?"

    Taote lowered his head and glanced at the iron box in his hand. The alloy iron box that looked like the size of a pizza delivery was still locked. The old man took it off the stand and brought it over. He didn't know what he wanted to do.

    He lightly tapped his own emblem on it with his knuckles, and the old man just said lightly: "Slap in the face."

    Zhou Li shrugged helplessly: "Others have booked a lot of things in the past two days. I haven't sold a single thing. Don't you think this kind of result is a bit shabby for you?"

    The old man replied without raising his head: "Since six years ago, the 'master' workshop has stopped selling products."

    "Huh?" Zhou Li was stunned: "Closed and closed? Why not sell it?"

    Taote replied calmly: "From that time, what we sold changed from products to technologies. In my lifetime, I want to change what we sell from technology to standards."

    There was a domineering power in Zhou Li's plain voice. The old man's words were so powerful that even Zhou Li couldn't accept it

    He could understand that the old man was awesome, but he didn¡¯t expect that he was so awesome that he could determine the market standards with his own ability.

    Products, technologies, standards

    Taut Clive, who was born in a business family, has long stopped playing low-end. Since 2006, the products sold by the master workshop have become less and less, but the items listed in the 'product list' have become more and more popular.  From product to alchemical technology.

    Unlike the high-end alchemy weapons, which are so expensive that one item is comparable to a new fighter jet, what he sells is forging technology and academic theory.

    The difference between this is really unimaginable to a layman like Zhou Li, but if Taote wants to re-plan the alchemical academic world that has been contending for hundreds of years according to his own standards??, then this ambition is indeed a bit too big.

    After Zhou Li figured out this joint, the shaking of the tiger's body was finally over. He was about to say something when he heard a voice from in front of him.

    "Thank you all for your love and taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this press conference of the Miskatonic Institute of Alchemy. I am the representative, Fenris."

    Fenris, who had obviously been carefully dressed up, appeared on the stage with his usual elegant temperament, with a calm and confident expression. When he saw the old man Tao Te in the corner of his eyes, there was a trace of ridicule and disdain unconsciously.

    When everyone¡¯s eyes focused on him, Fenris smiled slightly and said words that made the entire venue roar with excitement:

    ¡°Next, I will show you our flagship product for this quarter, which is also a great invention that can make a leap in alchemy and open a new page in the history of alchemy!¡±

    There was a brief moment of silence in the venue, and soon everyone's noise broke out. Fenris's tone made everyone feel full of doubts and disbelief.

    "A breakthrough in alchemy No one has ever dared to promote it in such a loud voice."  You must know that those who can have a seat here are either researchers who are outstanding in various fields, or representatives of various workshops and associations.  There are also various preparation officials who come for procurement. It is impossible without research.

    Talking nonsense in front of professionals.  It will make your reputation stink to the end, especially in a place that can be called a world event. If you don't handle it well, even if it doesn't stink from the equator to the North Pole, the credibility of the 'Dogma Academy' will be greatly damaged.

    But what if it¡¯s true?

    Is it possible?

    The last time alchemy was recognized as a major breakthrough was nine years ago.  At the alchemy exchange meeting in Berlin on behalf of the 'master' workshop, Taote disclosed a special alchemical circuit superposition technology, which made it possible to superimpose double or even three layers of alchemical circuits.

    That time alone established Taote and the ¡®master¡¯ workshop¡¯s unshakable position at the top of contemporary alchemy.

    And now, ¡®Dogma College¡¯.  Do you actually want to replace it?

    In the end, some people¡¯s eyes fell on Fenris, with doubts, ridicule or enthusiasm, while some people¡¯s eyes fell on the old man Taut at the front.

    Seemingly unaware, Taote tapped the iron box in his hand with his fingers, looking half-smiling but not speaking.

    There was no look of shock or fear in Taut's eyes. Fenris was obviously disappointed and snorted inaudibly.  Putting on a calm smile again: "Now, let me show you Before that, we are very honored to have Miss Salina from the 'Foundation' headquarters as a tester"

    Hearing the name, there was a low noise from some of the audience. Zhou Li looked around with some doubts. After noticing the surprised expressions of others, he couldn't help turning his head and asked the old man: "Who is that Serena?"

    "The 'Simulation Sandbox' of the 'Foundation'." Taote smiled strangely in a low voice: "Invite her here. It seems that they really spent a lot of money this time."

    Zhou Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "Very sexy?"

    ¡°Don¡¯t use bad words in public places.¡±

    Taote gave Zhou Li a blank look as if he had never said it before.  His eyes fell on the stage: "Just watchthe louder they blow now, the louder they will slap in the face."

    Hearing the sinister tone of the old man¡¯s words, Zhou Li couldn¡¯t help but feel his teeth grow cold. How much hatred does this old man have for the ¡®Dogma College¡¯?

    With Fenris¡¯s introduction, a middle-aged red-haired woman who looked a little fat walked onto the stage, nodded slightly to the audience, and sat on the metal chair that was specially designed for her next to the booth.

    The booth specially built for her started slowly. As the ability unfolded, bright lights appeared from Zhou Li's vision. They stretched out from the feet of the woman who became Serena and covered the entire booth. In the end,  The huge field enveloped everyone's sight.

    The original scenery on the booth quickly distorted and was replaced by a pale space with nothing. It was like a huge white plain slowly unfolding from the booth. The world encompassing several kilometers was confined to the booth with a radius of tens of meters.  It's jaw-dropping.

    With the title of "virtual sand table", Sarina's ability "simulation" can reproduce a spiritual space; there, it can simulate all natural conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rains, oceans, deserts and even the destruction of the earth and the collapse of the heaven and earth.

    It¡¯s like a huge and realistic 3dThe courtyard can make people connected to it feel various changes in the environment. In that spiritual world, everything is real, even the touch of breeze and dew.

    ¡°Virtual man-made world, virtual sandbox¡­ If connected to the large-scale auxiliary computer specially built for her by the Foundation, she can even simulate a war.

    Such non-combat ability users are the most precious to large associations. Ever since she was recruited by the 'Foundation' and served as the section chief of the 'Experimental Department', she disappeared. No one expected that she could reappear.

    It seems that the ¡®Dogma College¡¯ has indeed spent a lot of money to be able to hire her.

    Standing outside the simulated spiritual realm, Fenris enjoyed everyone's gaze and showed a pleasant smile. After everyone's noise fell silent, he whispered: "The next thing is our main focus this time.  Exhibits.¡±

    With the help of the staff, huge iron boxes like coffins were transported to the stage one by one. From a distance, you could feel that the dark iron boxes were emitting a cold temperature, making the entire venue blind.  Landing on it, curious and confused.

    Standing on it, Fenris lowered his head and stroked the iron coffin-like box, slowly raised his head, and announced the voice that made the entire venue boil.

    ¡°This is the result of our decades of research¡ªartificial ability users!¡±

    In an instant, the venue fell into dead silence, and then the noise erupted like thunder!
