149: 149.
Relieve boredom 149: 149.
Relieve boredom Professor Wei saw that Lu Li was going to make an “Alloy Flying Sword” and wasn’t surprised at all—it was much more normal than the previous battle armor.
While brushing his teeth, he replied:
“Making hard alloy isn’t difficult, what style do you want your Flying Sword?
Weight, the proportion of various metals?”
Lu Li thought it over and replied, “The specifics don’t matter, just make it tough—as if the target for the Flying Sword is a tank.”
After receiving the message, Wei Wenqi smiled.
It seemed he’d have to make a luxurious toy for the wealthy again.
What a pity that he, a respectable professor, had to bow to money…
it was quite frustrating.
As he was contemplating, his phone pinged twice.
The first was a notification of funds received: one million dollars.
The second was an additional message from Lu Li: “Make as many as you can, as quickly as possible.”
Then the phone fell silent, lifeless once more.
Wei Wenqi, his mouth full of toothpaste foam, stood stunned for quite a while…
“People really do buy toys on a whim…
one million dollars, 7 million Yuan, they simply don’t care.”
Wei Wenqi sneered at himself, then slowly became serious.
At first, he indeed entertained the thought of taking advantage of a big spender.
But now, he, like Liu Jiang and Qian Ping, had the same realization—Lu Li wasn’t just some rich guy, a freeloader.
This was a true tycoon, and very generous at that!
Establishing a good relationship with such a person was about more than just a million dollars!
Wei Wenqi rinsed his mouth clean of toothpaste and carefully washed his face before formally replying to Lu Li:
“I’ll deliver within 5 days.”
That time clearly included the delivery period.
He hurriedly made calls, summoning the doctoral students to return to the lab for work.
A chorus of complaints arose: Overworking right before New Year’s!
Yet, seeing what the task was, the young people regained some interest!
~~~~~~~~~
On Lu Li’s end, having settled the matter of the Flying Sword, he contacted a Xia Country incense factory and ordered Calming Incense worth $100,000.
Calming Incense from Blue Star, 200 grams per bundle, with 40 sticks, was priced at 20 Yuan.
$100,000 worth could practically be used as firewood, he bought so much.
But for Lu Li, it was just chump change.
He planned to take the incense back to the Otherworld to tease those hoarding merchants.
Unexpectedly, the incense factory took this old customer with an increasing appetite very seriously.
They assured the use of the oldest, most mature ingredients to produce the highest quality incense.
“It turned out to be an unintentional blessing.”
Lu Li mused with a smile, and seeing him done with his work, Jessica suddenly sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck affectionately.
Lu Li took the opportunity to ask, “By the way, do you know how to make short videos?”
“Of course, it’s an essential skill for a girl~”
“In a couple of days, help me make some…
Mm.”
He didn’t finish his speech before the girl already gave him a sweet kiss.
And while kissing, she rhythmically moved her hips, grinding gently.
Lu Li had to smack her butt to finally calm the girl down.
After a while of tenderness, with Jessica lying in his arms, she said faintly:
“Do you know it’s quite embarrassing to be a virgin?”
Lu Li gently advised, “Don’t rush, I’ve found that I seem to cause quite a lot of harm to girls.”
Jessica giggled, “Did you just realize that?”
Lu Li had indeed crossed a Great Realm and defeated a boss before realizing his combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
He also recalled the words of his life mentor Teresa, “You should be more gentle with girls.”
Thinking of this, Lu Li casually asked, “How are Teresa and the others doing?
The election has begun, hasn’t it?”
The President of Mexico is elected through a direct popular vote, with only one round of voting where the candidate with the most votes wins.
The swearing-in ceremony is on June 1st, but that is just a formality; the real battle of the election should have already started.
Jessica looked somber as she took out her phone and pulled up a news article for Lu Li to see.
The news was from three days ago, showing a building riddled with bullet holes — it was Tijuana City Hall.
[Drug lord massacres City Hall, 9 staff members killed; fortunately, the Mayor remains unharmed.]
Lu Li frowned, “Directly attacking the City Hall?”
Even in Mexico, this seemed a bit too brazen.
Jessica said, “The military and police have clearly stated that they will not intervene.
Luckily, Lady Maria had made preparations early on, arranging for the Marine Corps and hiring private armed forces to fend off the attack.”
Lu Li nodded, “It seems that I will soon have to fulfill the agreement, which is just as well while waiting for the delivery to relieve my boredom.”
According to the agreement, Lu Li was to protect Lady Maria during her public speeches and rallies for one month.
If she could get through this month, Lady Maria would no longer need to appear frequently in public, greatly increasing the difficulty of an assassination attempt.
Therefore, the drug lord would definitely not let this opportunity pass; an attack was bound to happen.
The mission was dangerous, but the real challenge for Lu Li was — how to kill the enemy and protect his charges without exposing himself.
He was somewhat eager to test his skills when, at that moment, the sound of a car stopping at the gate of the villa could be heard.
Aurora and Teresa came to the door, asking Lu Li to come out of retirement.
~~~~~~~~~
Teresa, with her long white silk legs, walked elegantly to him and with a gentle nod, said,
“My mother will start her tour speeches tomorrow.
Please, you must ensure her safety.”
Lu Li nodded, “Let’s go.”
Teresa gave Jessica an apologetic smile, then prepared to take Lu Li with her.
At that moment, Aurora seemed hesitant to speak.
Lu Li asked, “What is it?”
“There are always riots during the election period.
It is equally dangerous for the young girl to stay by herself.”
Aurora slowly said, “She has developed the ability to protect herself.
Why not have her come along and learn some skills in practice?
Of course, the choice is yours.”
Lu Li casually replied, “Jessica, do you want to go?”
Jessica nodded vigorously, “I want to go!
I won’t hold you back.”
“Then let’s go together.”
With a slight wave of his hand, Lu Li summoned “Number 0” and Ah Da to bring the car around.
Next, they all got into one car, while a puppet drove the Raptor, following behind.
As Aurora drove, she said,
“Lady Maria has hired people from the Summer Security Company to provide security services.
Their leader isn’t easy to get along with.”
Lu Li nodded silently without speaking.
At that moment, the car left the affluent neighborhood.
Outside, the world looked as if it had been through a war, with burnt marks everywhere and police cars overturned.
This was the riot that Aurora had mentioned.
This was the first time Lu Li saw such scenes during the six-year term of the President of Mexico.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of City Hall, and Lu Li saw the office building full of bullet holes.
As they walked in, they heard a scornful voice:
“Yellow-skinned sissy, and a mixed-race little girl…
Now there are two more burdens, do you think our task wasn’t hard enough already?”
The speaker was a white man dressed in khaki outdoor gear, leaning on a railing with a mocking expression on his face.
His companions were nearby, snickering together.
Lu Li responded directly, “Kill him.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, “Number 0” pounced like a lion, grabbing the man by the neck and lifting him up.
