After the convoy left the boundaries of City No. 18, the road began to become bumpy. A month later, the roads here were still not repaired.
Fortunately, the old man's off-road vehicle has excellent suspension and shock absorbers, so bumpy roads are not a big problem at all.
Looking back at the Freemason's convoy, it was different. After just over 40 kilometers, some people began to have flat tires.
These students are quite capable. Not only do they have high IQs, but they also have good hands-on skills. A group of them set up jacks and carried repair tools on the car. They can even repair tires by themselves.
Many people think of academic masters as nerds, but most of the academic masters in this era in the world have special skills and strong thinking and action skills.
Qingchen asked the old man out of curiosity: "It's strange. Why is the tire technology in the other world almost the same as that in the watch world? Why haven't better materials been developed, such as ones that won't blow out?"
The old man was happy: "They are all equipped with tires that will not wear out. If everyone buys second-hand tires in the future, who will buy new ones? They are all doing the same business. How can the consortium make money? The five major federal consortiums are responsible for all consumables industries.
All patents are controlled. For things that affect the foundation of the industry, the patents will be bought and stashed away. After all, enough money is made now, and industry changes may bring new uncertainties. As long as the military
As long as you can use the latest stuff."
"I see," Qing Chen said in his heart, then I am afraid that some things in the Federal Army have surpassed the times.
This is one of the drawbacks of consortiums controlling the world. They will guide human development in the opposite direction for the sake of profit. The path humans take is carefully designed, not the path humans should take.
"By the way, have you ever dealt with this shadow?" Qingchen asked curiously: "What kind of person is he?"
The old man said: "The Qing family's shadow is the 'thug' of the head of the family. All the dirty things have to be done by the shadow. People in this position are usually angry with humans and gods. Many shadows were like this before. When they get old, they can only
Hiding in Qing’s Ginkgo Manor in City 10 to avoid being assassinated. But if you do this, it will be the same as being under house arrest in Ginkgo Manor.”
The old man continued: "For example, the previous generation of shadows pretended to travel in the clouds. It was very likely that they changed their appearance, changed their names, and didn't know where to hide and spend their old age. But when it came to this generation of shadows, it was strange. He seemed to be
Before he became a shadow, he was thinking of ways to avoid this ending. To this day, no one even knows who he is."
Qingchen asked: "Isn't it one of the three people who survived to the end?"
The old man whispered meaningfully: "Who said it must be a living person who becomes a shadow in the end?"
Qingchen was stunned. Yes, in everyone's eyes, the ninth shadow candidate had already died in Prison No. 18, but was he dead?
not at all.
The old man continued: "Now this shadow has actually not done anything that makes people and gods angry. It seems that the Qing family wants to hide its power and bide its time. Many things are done in secret and are difficult to detect. Just like this time the Qing family sent supplies to the wilderness.
, he sent it away for seven years before others knew about it, and you don’t know what he is going to do.”
Qingchen added in his mind that the other party was actually making a deal with the knight. Now that he thought about it, Li Shutong's friends might have been rescued by the shadow, but now he had no way of knowing what the deal between the other party and Li Shutong was.
The old man smiled and said: "I have always felt that this generation of shadows is a bit like the ancestors of the Qing family. The gods once said that he was the reincarnation of 'Qing Zhen', but it is said that his life is not long, not a few years longer than mine.
"
Qing Zhen is the ancestor who founded the ‘New Qing Clan’ in the new era of human civilization.
The old man concluded by saying: "You must be careful when dealing with this kind of person. This kind of smart person has been dormant for more than ten years. When he returns to the stage, I am afraid everyone will be shocked."
At night, Guo Huchan led the team to camp. While setting up the tent, the old man called a few female classmates to come over and tell stories.
He looked at Qingchen's calm expression, then pointed at Qingchen and smiled at several female classmates: "What do you think of my grandson? He doesn't have a partner yet. Do you want to consider getting along with him?
Try it? He is an upright man and has excellent character. Our family is very rich, and I will leave a lot of property to him when I am gone. I am not saying that you are just chasing money. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a good family?
"
Several female classmates looked at Qingchen cautiously. At this time, Qingchen looked like a zard, so he was not really good-looking. Moreover, Qingchen was a little taciturn along the way, and his personality was not very likable.
Also, Jiang Yichen told them last night that Qingzade was very dangerous and should have killed many people.
In comparison, they thought Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu were quite good.
Qingchen sat next to the old man and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"
The old man laughed happily and said: "You are not young anymore. When I was your age... forget it, a good man will not mention his bravery in the past."
"I don't have to worry about this kind of thing all the time. Just take care of yourself," Qingchen said helplessly.
The old man murmured in a low voice: "If you get married as soon as possible, Changqing won't miss you anymore."
Qingchen: "What nonsense are you talking about? She and I are friends."
After saying that, Qingchen turned to look at the female classmates and said: "Don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense. I still have tens of millions of loans. The house in the micro world community was also bought with a loan, and the down payment was 10%."
The female classmates were all stunned: "How did you get these tens of millions of loans?"
Qingchen sighed: "I want to know too."
However, the old man suddenly whispered: "You don't have to worry about the loan."
"Huh?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment.
"I asked Li Yunjing to help you pay it back," the old man said in a low voice: "Before I leave, I have to give you something. I can't give you what the seventh child can give you. I am so poor that all I have left is money."
"I think the Wuxin Bronze Bell is pretty good," Qingchen said.
"When you are faced with taboo objects, can you occasionally act like a human being?" The old man said angrily: "Yunshou is not a cultivator, so the Wuxin copper bell must be kept to protect him."
"Okay," Qingchen said.
The old man continued: "In addition, City No. 10 has also prepared two properties and a car for you, just in the third district. In the future, you can have a place to live in City No. 10. We, Li's children, are away from home.
Don't let people see the joke... Don't worry, I bought it with all my own money, I'm different from your master."
Qingchen fell silent. In fact, the old man truly regarded himself as a junior.
But he suddenly thought, the master helped him take out a loan to buy things, and the old man helped him repay the loan. Is this a situation that the two of them had agreed upon, so that each of them could impress him once?
Qingchen's mood instantly improved when he thought that he was now debt-free and could spend the savings in his account as he pleased. He also had two more houses.
"But why not buy a house in city No. 18 instead of city No. 10?" Qingchen was puzzled.
"That's the political center of the Federation. You'll have to go there sooner or later," the old man said firmly.
At this moment, Qingchen turned around and looked around, only to find a figure quietly approaching where everyone parked their cars.
Wait, isn't that Jiang Yichen's figure?
But they saw the other party get into the car, close the door softly, then suddenly turn on the lights, and the engine roared and drove off into the distance.
Qingchen was stunned. He also said that he would test Jiang Yichen to see if he was guilty.
As a result, this is too vain.
I just asked Hu Xiaoniu to spread a few rumors, but the other party was scared away.
At this moment, he was very sure that this guy was Lu Ya. When he was on the roof of the Kailai Hotel, this guy was just as cautious as the masked man.
Everyone in the camp stood up and silently watched the off-road vehicle drive away.
Qi Duo looked at Nangong Yuanyu: "Do you want to chase?"
"No more chasing," Nangong Yuanyu shook his head: "It seems that Hu Xiaoniu is right. There is indeed something wrong with this Jiang Yichen. We just asked him a few tentative questions and scared him away. Return to the surface world and try
Go find him and at least get the money for the off-road vehicle back. He should not be short of money in the world."
Qi Duo nodded: "So it seems that Hu Xiaoniu's words are reliable?"
"Well, that's the case for the time being," Nangong Yuanyu nodded: "Let's look for opportunities to strengthen our relationship on the road. After returning to the world, we should also find a way to get him and that classmate Qingchen to join the Freemasonry.
"
"Where are Nan Gengchen and Zhang Tianzhen?" Qi Duo asked.
"Zhang Tianzhen should be of value, but Nan Gengchen... It remains to be determined," Nangong Yuanyu said: "But if the other party requires four people to join together, we can also accept Nan Gengchen as an exception."
It’s not that the Freemasons are being hypocritical, but any organization with a little bit of ambition will have a threshold for entry, and Nan Gengchen’s IQ score in their behavioral evaluation was not too high...
This assessment is not wrong...
Jiang Yichen's off-road vehicle drove farther and farther north, but soon everyone's eyes turned to the south, where a car was getting closer and closer.
Nangong Yuanyu subconsciously looked at Guo Huchan, only to see him standing on the roadside, using a strong flashlight to make signals rhythmically.
The off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and two young men, a man and a woman, got out of the vehicle.
Hu Xiaoniu was stunned when he saw the person getting off the car, because he knew him.
However, Hu Xiaoniu looked at Qingchen the next second, although he didn't know why he looked at Qingchen.
At this time, Guo Huchan said with a cheerful smile: "Yangyang, Li Situ, why did you two come so early?"
Li Situ said: "This time there is an outbreak of influenza in the wilderness, the medicine is more important. The boss is worried that something might happen to the medicine this time, so he asked Yangyang to come over in advance to pick you up. I have something else to do and have to rush to City No. 18."
Qingchen said in his heart, your boss just made it clear that he was worried about Guo Huchan.
In fact, that's right. If it were Xu Linsen, he wouldn't trust Guo Huchan, a tough guy like him.

Thanks to Eternal Youth 99 classmates for becoming a new ally of this book. The boss is generous. I wish the boss will never lose his express delivery!
