But Gloves had so concerns: "Master, next ti we co, this thing might not be in its original place."
Li Banfeng was startled: "What do you an?"
Gloves wasn’t sure how to express it: "I just vaguely rember that when Black Glove ca here, it had to be looked for each ti. Sotis it would be found in half an hour, and other tis it might not be found even after a whole night."
Li Banfeng understood what Gloves ant. The location of these docunts was not fixed, and the next ti they ca, this docunt box might be relocated.
This was a bit troubleso.
Hong Ying yawned: "We’ve copied so much tonight, just keep it for now. We’ll talk about the remaining half when we have the chance."
Gloves had a different idea: "In our line of business, we’re just afraid of variables. Things went smoothly today, but who knows what issues might arise next ti."
Hong Ying said: "What kind of issues could there be? Didn’t you say that the one nad Xiao has been here many tis? If he can get away unscathed, what are we afraid of?"
Gloves shook his index finger and said: "As the Master also said, Xiao Zhenggong has been in the outside provinces for many years. He knows how to handle so matters, but we don’t!"
The crowd kept arguing, but it woke up the Judge’s Pen lying on the shelf.
"Annoying!" The Judge’s Pen turned over, stood up from the shelf, and flew to the docunt box.
"Ink!" The Judge’s Pen commanded, and Gloves quickly went over to grind the ink.
The Clock Pendulum was startled: "Why are you listening to him like that?"
Gloves didn’t quite understand either: "I just felt he was quite imposing just now."
"Paper!" The Judge’s Pen ordered again, and the Tang Sword cut the paper and placed it in front of the Judge’s Pen.
"Flip!" The Judge’s Pen looked at the docunts and instructed Hong Ying to turn the page.
Hong Ying angrily said: "You’re acting against , how dare you command ?"
The Phonograph slapped Hong Ying: "Listen to him!"
Unable to help it, Hong Ying turned the pages for the Judge’s Pen.
The Judge’s Pen dipped into the ink, and with a flick of the pen tip, it copied a page of the docunt.
Li Banfeng was stunned, it was even faster than a photocopier.
"Are you using the Literature Cultivation Technique, ’A Thousand Lines with One Stroke’?" Li Banfeng had seen Zhang Xiuling use this technique, but Zhang Xiuling definitely couldn’t write this fast.
Even if a Literature Cultivator from Above the Clouds ca, they couldn’t write this fast.
"Hmph!" The Judge’s Pen didn’t bother to respond, and in the blink of an eye, another page was done.
As Hong Ying flipped the pages, the Judge’s Pen kept writing, and in less than an hour, the remaining half of the docunts were finished.
After writing, the Judge’s Pen flew back to the shelf, took a minute to choose a suitable spot, and lay down steadily.
Li Banfeng walked over to the shelf and asked: "I rember the Peddler once said you gave all your techniques to that real pen, so how can you still perform the Literature Cultivation Techniques?"
"Blanket!" The Judge’s Pen didn’t answer Li Banfeng’s question, only said the word "blanket."
"Blanket," what does it an?
Li Banfeng thought for a mont and realized it was literal.
He took a newspaper and used it as a blanket for the Judge’s Pen, which promptly fell asleep.
Hong Ying said angrily: "Had I known he had this skill, why did we exhaust ourselves?"
The Phonograph sighed: "This Cheap Pen put in so much effort, do you think it doesn’t cost?"
Hong Ying resented: "Don’t we also incur costs? Didn’t we exert ourselves?"
The Judge’s Pen roared: "Quiet!"
The family fell silent, and Li Banfeng, carrying the docunt box, quietly left the Portable Residence.
Returning the docunt box to its original place, Li Banfeng left the data room and went straight back to his residence.
He wasn’t in the mood to sleep and promptly began researching the boundary’s secrets with his wife, spending an entire day. His wife concluded: "Husband, this isn’t a Craftsmanship thod, in our Puluo State, this surely isn’t a Craftsmanship thod."
The first half of the docunt discussed electromagnetic theory, so it couldn’t be said that it wasn’t a Craftsmanship thod at all; it’s just his wife wasn’t too versed in this kind of technology.
Li Banfeng had attended college and naturally knew so basics of electromagnetism. He slowly explained so foundations to his wife, and after a whole day, Li Banfeng finally rembered sothing: "Our old man must understand this. We should have shown it to him first."
The Phonograph said: "The old man has already seen it. When asked if he understood, he didn’t say much. You should personally go and ask him, husband."
Li Banfeng went to the Third Room and asked: "Old man, did you discover the secrets in this?"
The Portable Residence replied: "I think I’ve figured it out."
"Is this the thod the people from outside provinces use to control the boundary?"
"It should be."
Li Banfeng seed dissatisfied: "Old man, why are you always speaking so ambiguously?"
The Portable Residence candidly replied: "Because I’m unsure, this thing looks sowhat like it, but also not quite."
"Shall we try creating sothing according to this thod first?"
"Sounds good, Ah Qi, help prepare the materials. So materials aren’t readily available, so you’ll need to find a way with Electric Cultivation."
We’ll also need Luo Zhengnan to make a trip.
Li Banfeng said: "Old man, first write a list of materials."
...
Da Boyins looked at the list of materials and couldn’t help but shake his head: "The materials you ntioned might not be possible to gather in Puluo State, right?"
"So items need to be sourced from other provinces." Under Da Boyins’ pressure, Xiao Zhenggong finally wrote out this list, but the materials were indeed hard to find.
Da Boyins made many notes on the list: "I’ve been to other provinces, and there are many things here I’ve never heard of. The outside provinces might not have them either. Did you perhaps misinterpret sothing?"
Xiao Zhenggong was very confident: "During my ti at the Dark Star Bureau, I visited the data room over a dozen tis, each ti taking only part of the data out, encrypting it through different subordinates. Do you know how much effort I’ve put into this? How could you doubt I misread sothing?"
Da Boyins was a bit troubled: "It’s fine with the materials that can be found in Puluo State, but those from the outside provinces are not easy to procure."
"Find Lu Xiaolan!" Xiao Zhenggong crossed his legs and poured himself a glass of wine, "She has spent many years in the outside provinces and has plenty of connections."
Da Boyins glanced at Xiao Zhenggong, who, in recent days, had beco a lot more humble. However, seeing him now, that air of arrogance seed to be returning.
Should he ask again if Xiao Zhenggong rembers his own surna?
After thinking it over, Da Boyins discarded the idea.
Let him be arrogant for a while; soon he would no longer be of use.
...
At midnight, at Black Stone Slope, Duan Shuqun, the general manager of Dongjing Stationery Company, had just stepped out of the workshop.
Having received a large order the day before yesterday to rush a batch of stationery to Qi Qiu City, Duan Shuqun had heavily rewarded the workers, leading them to work overti until now to finally complete the batch.
The workers each went ho, and Duan Shuqun returned to the office to sort the accounts. But he had just sat down when he suddenly saw a person, covered in blood, leap into the room.
Duan Shuqun was taken aback; upon closer inspection, the person turned out to be He Jiaqing.
"Jiaqing, how did you end up like this?" Duan Shuqun advanced to support He Jiaqing.
He Jiaqing waved his hand, retreating repeatedly: "Don’t touch . There’s a lesion on . The Greenwater Beggar is hot on my heels; find a place to hide first!"
