148: 148.
Plan 148: 148.
Plan The next morning, Lu Li had to leave.
Wanqing packed a large bag of donkey-hide gelatin and handed it over along with a jar of Spiritual Tea:
“Have a smooth journey, young master.”
“Thank you.”
Just as Lu Li took them in his hand, Xiao Cha also passed him something shimmering silver, which was none other than the “White Dragon Whip” that had become a Magic Artifact!
“Last night you mentioned that you were going back to protect a political figure, take this for self-defense.”
“No need, no need, that was left to you by your father.”
Lu Li held the girl’s hand and pushed the item back: “Besides, unless something unexpected happens, I should be able to forge a Flying Sword soon~”
“Well then…” Xiao Cha took back the White Dragon Whip, then said:
“Take care and come back soon; don’t neglect your Cultivation, and…
don’t mess around with women!”
With a stern look from the girl, Lu Li sheepishly scratched his head: “How could I…”
Xiao Cha gave him a disapproving look and said indignantly, “Hmph!
With all the tricks you know, you must be a playboy!”
“Alright, I will definitely heed Heroine Cha’s guidance.”
Lu Li hugged Xiao Cha tightly, then solemnly said:
“I have a task for you—fifteen minutes after I leave, use the tiger doll.
I’ll try to sense it.”
Xiao Cha responded solemnly, “Understood.”
“Then… goodbye, I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
Lu Li nodded seriously and left with two Puppets.
The two girls watched him until he was out of sight, then turned back home.
~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li was back in the garage of the villa.
It was afternoon at Blue Star.
Sitting by the pool, Lu Li downloaded the domestic and international versions of TikTok, as well as social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
He planned to showcase the Flying Sword online and let the netizens refine it with Wish Power through the screen, attempting to transform the hard alloy into a “sacrificial tool.”
It might seem far-fetched, but Lu Li had his reasons.
When he first arrived in the Otherworld, he read a book called “Understanding Brain Waves” authored by “Hans Berger,” who was originally a cavalryman.
One day while riding at full speed, his horse suddenly stumbled.
Berger and his horse fell down the slope, narrowly escaping death.
That same night, he received a telegram from his father.
It turned out Berger’s sister, who was thousands of miles away, sensed the danger he was in and insisted their father send a telegram to check on him.
This remarkable experience sparked Berger’s intense interest in “Telepathy,” leading him to begin studying “Telepathy” and eventually discovering brain waves.
This phenomenon is not unique, as a scientist from Blue Star proposed:
Telepathy is the action-at-a-distance of quantum entanglement, which can even transcend dimensions.
Now, Lu Li had the chance to verify this theory.
He waited silently, and soon it was the appointed time with Xiao Cha.
In the Otherworld, Xiao Cha was holding the tiger doll, pressing the nose made of buttons twice.
Immediately, a semicircular “Hive Shield” appeared right in front of the doll.
Curious, the girl glanced at it, pressed the doll’s nose again, and the shield disappeared.
Far away on Blue Star, Lu Li suddenly stood up from the lounge chair!
“I felt it!”
They were not in the same world, and the signal was intermittent and unclear, but he was certain that his Spirit was activated.
“Looking at it this way, using social media accounts to create a ‘sacrificial tool’ is very likely feasible!”
Lu Li was greatly energized and was about to call Professor Wei Wenqi from Xigong University.
Due to the time difference, it was only 5 a.m.
there, so he sent a WeChat message:
“Hello Professor Wei, I need a hard alloy containing tungsten, titanium, and gold, made into a half-meter-long Flying Sword.
You are an expert in metal materials; could you help?”
~~~~~~~~~~
Next, Lu Li registered on all social media platforms, just waiting to post short videos.
However, he couldn’t put all his eggs in one basket; in case this plan didn’t work, he needed a backup.
Lu Li opened his navigation app and searched for “Tijuana Diocese.”
With many followers of Western Religions, he planned to practice on the crosses in the church.
After confirming the location, Lu Li asked “Zero” to get in the car, ready to leave.
Looking at the sky, he realized he could also pick up Jessica from school.
After sending Jessica a message, Lu Li set off.
The roads were somewhat congested during the school dismissal time.
“Zero” drove the “Raptor,” stopping and starting until they reached Eton College.
Jessica, having received the message, was already waiting at the school gate.
Recognizing her family’s car, she ran up joyfully, but froze when she opened the door…
it was a stranger driving?
Fortunately, Lu Li was in the back seat.
Jessica got in obediently and asked quietly,
“Did you hire a driver?”
“Sort of, I’ll tell you when we get home, don’t be scared~”
Lu Li held Jessica’s hand and smiled, “How’s it going?
Are you still enjoying it?”
“Yes, learning Xia Language and training with Aurora is so much fun~”
With a “stranger” present, Jessica ladylike slid her legs to one side, sitting up straight.
Her noble school’s training had paid off, as her demeanor was perfect.
Then, Jessica realized they weren’t heading home and asked, “Where are we going?”
“To the Diocese, we’re almost there.”
At that moment, “Zero” pulled the car up beside a church.
With no one around, Lu Li glanced at the surveillance and let it burn out.
Then, with a swift grab, he pulled down the metal cross from the church and tossed it into the car trunk.
Zero stepped on the gas and drove away, the whole process taking less than 5 seconds.
He could have just bought it, but Lu Li didn’t have a good impression of the Western Religions burying children’s bones under churches, so he opted for a more forceful approach.
Jessica turned a blind eye to this, holding Lu Li’s hand and chatting about life at school and the training she received, and soon they were home.
~~~~~~~~~
Arriving in the garage, Lu Li said, “Jessica, meet our new friend—Zero.”
“Zero” turned toward the girl, removing his sunglasses and mask.
Despite being mentally prepared, Jessica was still shocked to see the Terminator’s mechanical face!
Then, “Zero” kindly extended his hand… Jessica also outreached hers and gently shook it…
Cold, hard, the two genuinely appeared like friends meeting for the first time, shaking hands solemnly.
No longer afraid, Jessica circled around “Zero,” filled with curiosity.
Lu Li took out the cross from the car trunk, infused his spirit to test it, and indeed it was a “sacrificial tool.”
But he felt it was ominous, so he thought of melting it down to forge it into a sword or something.
Thus, Lu Li disassembled the cross into two parts for easier melting.
But as soon as he did, the cross immediately changed from a “sacrificial tool” to Mortal Iron, all stored spirit dissipating…
“Can’t change its appearance!?”
It was an obvious fact; Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and tossed the remnants of the cross into the trash bin.
Just then, his phone rang—Professor Wei had replied.
