"Can you tell me who your apprentice is?" the old man asked while lying on the hospital bed.
Li Shutong shook his head: "No, he has his own path now, and he is walking very well. There is no need to expose him to the world so early."
"Look, I'm almost buried in the dirt. As a son, you can't even satisfy your father's wishes?" The old man whispered: "The old man just wants to know what his little grandson's name is and what he looks like. What bad things can the old man do?
Where are you thinking?"
"Stop pretending," Li Shutong raised his eyebrows: "There's no point in doing this in front of me."
"He should be very young, aren't you afraid of his death?" The old man asked: "Now the Federation is not at peace. Kashima and Jindai have sent troops to the north, and the Federation's civil war may start at any time. I know that knights have always been very particular.
He is self-reliant, but the problem is that times have changed. If no one protects him under his wings, he will really die in troubled times. Don't talk about him, even you will die."
Li Shutong was silent.
Many people have said that demigods are not invincible.
Those people said this out of fear in their hearts, but it is indeed right.
For example, eight years ago, if the Li family had not come forward, the Scepter would have killed Li Shutong under the main fire electromagnetic gun.
Humanity's scientific and technological civilization is developing so fast that even demigods have to avoid its edge.
It's not just the Scepter. In fact, every consortium has its own stuff at the bottom of the box to guard against the demigod's individual assassination capabilities.
It can even be said that the first half of the federal arms race history was based on demigods.
The financial groups either cultivate their own demigods or research weapons that can kill demigods, without exception.
Just like after the emergence of nuclear weapons in the world, everyone is studying how to cover the earth with nuclear bombs.
When something that threatens your life appears, all you can think about is how to deal with it.
For example, the air fortress "Scepter" was born because of this. The 180-kilometer ultra-long-range electromagnetic gun strikes directly and accurately from the air, without even the need for relay guidance.
And the only thing in this world that can kill demigods is the 'Scepter'.
Times have indeed changed, and humans have mastered weapons capable of killing gods.
Li Shutong was deeply touched.
The old man looked at Li Shutong: "Will you take him with you when you go to the north this time?"
"No," Li Shutong shook his head: "He has grown faster than expected, and he no longer needs my teaching."
"Since you don't want to take him, just give him to me," the old man said with a smile: "Don't worry, although he is not my Li family, I will not treat him differently because of this."
"No," Li Shutong raised his eyebrows.
"Then you leave a legacy for me from the Li family before you leave," the old man said, no longer giving in. "Either you leave your bloodline, or you leave your legacy. When your master accepted you as his disciple, it was also because he promised me to find someone from the Li family.
A disciple, otherwise do you think it will be your turn?"
Li Shutong was angry: "My master only accepted me as his disciple after seeing my hard work. What does it have to do with you?!"
"I don't care," the old man said, shaking his head.
Li Shutong thought for a while: "I promise you, one day when the next generation of knight leaders grows up, they will also have to accept a disciple from the Li family. Of course, this will only happen if someone in the Li family can pass the knight's heart test."
"Okay, it's settled," the old man slowly closed his eyes after achieving his goal: "I'm tired, you can go."
Li Shutong didn't care about the old man's attitude, but he was a little surprised: "You don't stop me from doing things? You should know that what I do is not good for the consortium, and the Li family is also one of the consortia."
The old man said slowly: "Flowers will never bloom again, and people will never be young again. What you want to do should be done before you are old, otherwise the rest of your life will be full of regrets and you will not be able to sleep."
"Then...it's actually not that urgent," Li Shutong thought for a while and said, "After all, I age relatively slowly."
"roll."
…
…
Return countdown 110:00:00.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on the third day of time travel, Qingchen re-fixed the bandages and splints on his chest and abdomen at home to avoid secondary injury to his two broken ribs.
When he moved his body, he felt pain from the broken ribs, causing a thin layer of sweat to appear on his forehead.
In the room, Yi thought for a while and said: "Actually, you really don't need to work so hard. Is it worth it to take another risk so soon for Liu Dezhu? If you have any information you want, you can make a deal with me, even though you are very busy.
I can’t help, but it’s okay to give me some information, such as when various societies will take action against Hengshe.”
"I don't want to make a deal with you anymore, it's bound to be bad," Qingchen replied expressionlessly: "And I'm not doing it for Liu Dezhu, but for myself and the set of genetic medicines. There are seven life and death items left.
Guan, any one of them requires a long period of training before I can try it, so before I can make a breakthrough with peace of mind, I have to increase myself some ability to deal with crises."
After all, Qingchen needs Liu Dezhu's ability to protect himself, and he also needs a bridge to communicate with the world.
After thinking for a while, he said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's still okay to rest for two weeks first."
Qingchen shook his head: "Time waits for no one."
At this time, a black floating car slowly stopped on the 67th floor of Luoshen Building, and a light rail train was passing through the building on the 66th floor platform directly below.
In the parking lot on the 67th floor, several people saw the Xiangyun logo on the black floating car and immediately stayed away.
Everyone knows that this is Li's car.
The person who got out of the car did not leave, but stood quietly beside the car, with his arms crossed in front of him in a standing position, and his body straight.
This posture is like a javelin, and you can tell at a glance that he is an elite member of the Federal Army.
There are many such people in various consortiums. They have outstanding performance in active federal service, and then after being selected by the consortium, they are hired into various secret security companies with high salaries to serve the consortium in a security capacity.
The federal charter does not allow consortiums to own the military, but they can own security companies, which can legally hold weapons after receiving approval.
There is never a place without loopholes in this world, and what the consortium is best at is finding a drillable hole in a long embankment, and then causing the embankment to collapse.
Two minutes later, a young man wearing a white sportswear walked out of the elevator and came to the floating car: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I only waited for you for two minutes, and it's not yet the time agreed with you. You came down early," Li Changqing's security personnel who came to pick up Qingchen shook his head. To be honest, he has been working as a security guard for the consortium for two years.
This is the first time I have met someone who fulfilled their contract early.
After Qingchen got in the car, the security guard said on the communicator: "We have received the call. Now we are returning. Please confirm the access code of Banshan Manor."
In the southwest courtyard of Banshan Manor, Lao Liu limped into the inner room and said to Li Changqing through the door: "Boss, we've got you."
Li Changqing thought for a while and suddenly sent a message to Fangxin Arsonist: "I saw that you were seriously injured, so I thought you would rest for a while. Why did you come to be my bodyguard so quickly? Do you want to see me so much?"
Love Arsonist: "Time waits for no one."
While thinking about it, she just answered with Qingchen's original words. This shouldn't be considered a trouble, right?
At this time, Li Changqing suddenly asked: "Come to be my bodyguard, what do you want in return?"
Yi calculated silently, and then sent back a message: "What do you think."
Li Changqing replied: "As far as I know, you are using FDE gene medicine. It just so happens that I am in charge of this sequence of Li's gene medicine. You should also know very well that FDE-003,002,001 is no longer available for purchase outside.
"
1: "So?"
"In half a month, the laboratory will be able to produce the 12 sets of genetic medicine quota for this year. How about I leave you one set as payment?" Li Changqing sent the message with a smile.
1: "Okay, but the money must not be less."
It's not that Yi is a money fan, she is mainly worried that if she doesn't have money, Qingchen, who insists on money, won't cooperate with her acting.
"Don't worry, the money will not be less than your boxing match," Li Changqing said: "But if I asked you to choose between me and genetic medicine, what would you choose?"
Yi replied seriously and sincerely: "I choose genetic medicine, thank you."
Li Changqing struggled for a long time and thought, why didn't the arsonist say sweet words today? This made her a little uncomfortable...
But it's not a big problem.
For Yi, it’s time to have fun and have fun, and don’t make fun of serious matters.
Although she is playful, she knows very well that genetic medicine is what Qingchen urgently needs. With this thing, Qingchen can quickly cultivate a B-level team around him even if he abandons Liu Dezhu.
Even if the injection of each genetic medicine needs to be separated by one month, the interval between injections of 002 and 001 will need to be longer.
But at least there is an extremely stable upward path. No matter who Qingchen gives this set of genetic medicine, it will be a matter of time before the other party becomes B-level.
Maximum 8 months.
If you are in the federal army, you must at least have the rank of senior colonel, and you must secretly be loyal to the consortium to get the genetic medicine No. 001,002. Once you get the genetic medicine, your life will be sold to the consortium.
That is to say, a group of Qingchen directly confronted the person in charge of the genetic medicine, which made things look particularly easy.
The knight's challenge to the life and death stage is extremely dangerous, and if someone notices it, he will interfere. Chen Jiazhang suffered the loss of not having a protector in the first place, so he was forced to be stuck in the sixth stage.
If there was a C-level Liu Dezhu and another B-level master to protect the way, Qingchen might not make the same mistake as his uncle Chen Jiazhang.
At this time, Yi sent Qingchen the terms she had negotiated with Li Changqing so that Qingchen could know the details.
Dozens of minutes later, the aerial vehicle slowly stopped outside the Banshan Manor. Qingchen underwent a strict body search before being taken in by Lao Liu himself.
Lao Liu limped ahead and said: "Remember, no matter when you come to this place in the future, you are not allowed to carry weapons. Moreover, you and I can only move around in the Southwest Courtyard and trespass into other places without permission."
The local consequence is that it will most likely be chopped into pieces and fed to dogs."
