He coughed lightly: "Ahem! Sit down and talk."
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked around and found that Gu Jingting was the only one who was trying to hold back his smile.
Cheng Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.
"Very good, the fist is hard! Gu Jingting, you are dead!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao sat back in her seat, and he spoke again:
"Thank you for your recognition of the country and your willingness to hand over your system. I can't guarantee that no one will covet your system, but I can guarantee that I will give you adequate protection.
At the same time, thank you for giving those who have been contributing to the country a chance to live.
But I don’t know how many pills you have and how many people you can save.”
Cheng Xiaoxiao mentally counted how many pills she had left and said, "I still have 48 rejuvenation pills."
The Great Elder sighed, "We can only save 48 people!"
He looked at the densely packed list of names and couldn't help but feel worried. His head started to ache again...
Seeing his worried look, Cheng Xiaoxiao mentally called out to the system, "Tongzi! How many people can one recovery pill save at most?"
System: "It has been detected that humans in the current world are unable to cultivate. Based on the current human physique, one recovery pill can save up to six people!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao calculated the available points balance in her mind and found that she could only redeem 59 of the cheapest recovery pills at most.
How can this be enough? Unless...
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Tongzi, how many people can one Rejuvenation Pill, the quest reward, save at most?"
System: "All mission rewards are produced by the system. One rejuvenation pill produced by the system can save up to three people."
Cheng Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why is the Rejuvenation Pill 400 points per pill, but can only save three people?"
System: "Because the rejuvenation pill produced by the system can truly make people return to youth.
That is to say, if you take the rejuvenation pill, the user's body will become twenty years younger, and the corresponding organs will also become twenty years younger.
It's not a rejuvenation pill, it just makes people look younger, but the organs are still in their original state."
Cheng Xiaoxiao understood, and she said softly: "Actually, I can still take out 100 rejuvenation pills at most, but..."
The man at the table suddenly looked up and said excitedly, "What did you say? But what? Is there any country that can help?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "But I may need another 5,000 people to become disciples of Xiaoyao Sect."
The Great Elder: “???”
Are you sure it's the country that's helping you, not you helping the country?
His expression was a little complicated, "You..."
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Don't look at me like that. I also have selfish motives. The 100 rejuvenation pills are the reward for the system task. I can give them to the country."
She waved her hand righteously, "But, I absolutely cannot give you the technique. I don't even have one myself!
Besides, where could I find a famous disciple by myself? So it was really the country that helped me.
At most, at most, it's mutually beneficial!" Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded in self-affirmation.
System: “…” The host really told everything.
After listening to Cheng Xiaoxiao's words, he couldn't help but feel a little fondness for this little girl.
The Great Elder agreed immediately, "Okay, no problem!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao changed the subject and continued, "Can I make a small suggestion?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her little finger and gestured, "Just a small suggestion."
The man was in a very good mood now, and he didn't feel any pain in his head at all.
He leaned his hands on the back of the chair, looking relaxed: "Okay, go ahead!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke cautiously, "Can we form a special time-travel department and pick some people to accompany me on this journey? It would be best if they are both civil and military, and can protect me.
If I traveled through time alone, I would cry my heart out. What do you think of me, a weak woman?
If I meet someone with bad intentions..."
He felt his head start to hurt again. Just now he thought Cheng Xiaoxiao was sincere, but now she was acting...
"Even if you don't tell me, I will arrange for someone to protect you. There's no problem with this!"
After Cheng Xiaoxiao discussed things with that person, she left. Yes, it was just her and Gu Jingting.
The master said he had something to discuss with the Great Elder, so she and Xiao Gu came out first.
Cheng Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Is there anything else that my dear little disciple cannot listen to?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao and Gu Jingting waited outside the corridor for about half an hour before Yuan Mo and Lan Wangyou came out.
Cheng Xiaoxiao actually wanted to know what they said, but she didn't ask. A sense of boundaries is actually very important.
Cheng Xiaoxiao asked Gu Jingting which roast duck restaurant in Beijing was the best. Gu Jingting recommended a restaurant next to the Forbidden City. The group went straight to their destination after leaving the central area.
Cheng Xiaoxiao ordered two roast ducks. The freshly baked ducks were still steaming, and the golden and shiny skin made a sizzling sound when scraped with a knife.
The waiter started slicing the duck on the spot. The slices of roast duck were placed one by one on a white porcelain plate, which greatly increased the appetite of people.
Cheng Xiaoxiao put on disposable gloves, picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, dipped the meat in sauce, and placed it on the dough.
Add two scallion slices and two cucumber slices, and a roast duck wrap is ready.
Cheng Xiaoxiao gave the first roast duck wrap to Yuan Mo, the second to Lan Wangyou, and the third to herself...
Gu Jingting, who was standing by, saw that everyone had one and wondered if he had one too.
It turned out that Cheng Xiaoxiao had no such intention at all.
If Cheng Xiaoxiao knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Bah! You just laughed at me, and you still want the burritos I made? You're dreaming!"
Yuan Mo and Lan Wangyou ate roast duck for the first time, and they nodded as they ate.
Lan Wangyou even sighed: "This is what normal people should eat. Before..."
Yuan Mo glared at him, and Lan Wangyou immediately changed the subject: "Master, you've put a lot of effort into tempering my character! Thank you, Master!"
Yuan Mo nodded with satisfaction.
Cheng Xiaoxiao and Gu Jingting watched from the side without commenting.
After dinner, the four of them went to visit the Forbidden City again. After all, they were already here, right?
The four of them walked and visited as the tour guide introduced the history of the Forbidden City along the way.
This was Cheng Xiaoxiao's first time in the Forbidden City. She discovered that there was a faint golden light above the Forbidden City. Yuan Mo told her that it was the dragon energy of the dragon veins, which was suppressed by the Forbidden City and would not dissipate.
Yuan Mo touched his chin. He was a little uncomfortable with the bald chin. He paused and continued, "This is a good place to practice."
He looked at the ethereal dragon shadows in the sky and said, "What a pity! I'm afraid no one can withstand it!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to ask why but saw Yuan Mo shook his head and left. She knew what to do and didn't say anything.
At night, a voice sounded in Cheng Xiaoxiao's mind...
System: "Seven days have passed since the host's last time traveling. Please start traveling as soon as possible.
If you don't start the journey quickly, the system will deduct a certain amount of points!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao: “???”
"You didn't say that if you don't travel through time, you'll lose points, right?"
System: "You didn't ask!"
