Chapter 58: Visit by Envoys from Southern Chu



"I also want you to be able to produce steel as soon as possible so that we can produce cars, airplanes, and televisions, but isn't that impossible now?"

[By the way, do you think that Xiyue's national teacher is bound to the system? Does he also have a space?]

The system pondered for a moment: [I think he must have a space, otherwise how did he bring that piece of scrap metal here?]

Jun Shutong agreed: [I just don't know if he has any free technical information?]

"Definitely not now. Upgrading the space takes time. If it existed, the people of Xiyue wouldn't show off a piece of scrap metal." The system affirmed.

[It's fine if there isn't one, but it would be even better if there was. I wouldn't have to work hard to upgrade the space and waste crystals.]

[Host, if he does, it has nothing to do with us! ]

Jun Shutong rolled her eyes in her heart. She really wanted to despise this little system.

[Oh, I see. Host, you mean we can buy it from him with the money we earn from upgrading the space, right?]

"It would be great if he's willing to sell it, but do you think he would sell such confidential information?"

Jun Shutong stuffed the last of the snack into his mouth: "If they don't sell it to us, we'll steal it. If we can't steal it, we'll rob it. If we can't rob it, we'll ask for help. In short, what they have, we, Dayu, can't live without."

The intoxicated little face was puffed up by the snacks, and the eyes were narrowed into crescents.

The system's energy wave trembled, and then it became excited: [I see, this is called courtesy before force, right? Hahahaha.]

"puff."

The old man sprayed a mouthful of tea on Qi Mingxiao's face, and some of it splashed on Tang Mingyuan's clothes.

The emperor sat at the top, looked at a few people with disdain, and leaned back behind the dragon throne.

"Why are you so excited? Jun is right. It's a wonder they would sell you something this secret."

[It's not like our Dayu is the only one who has this idea. If he can't steal, of course he'll rob. So what does that person calling for help mean?]

This was the first time that Emperor Shunde shared the same view as Jun Shutong, and he couldn't help but look at Jun Yatou again.

【She has delicate features and looks very cute. 】

"Ahem."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"I'm sorry, both of you."

The old man smoothed his chest and apologized quickly.

The two of them said awkwardly, "No, it's okay."

Qi Mingxiao still understood the old man's mood at the moment. If he had not just swallowed the tea, he would have sprayed it in the old man's face.

Ming Dequan immediately asked someone to bring a clean towel to wipe the few people.

"Grandfather, are you okay?"

The old man shook his head helplessly: "Grandfather is fine."

Jun Shutong patted the old man's back, feeling sorry for his grandfather who even choked while drinking water.

[My dear granddaughter, let's not talk about whether others will sell it or not. Your conversation with the system is already the most confidential.]

【Luckily, we are the only ones who can hear it.】

"Oh, if I had such a smart granddaughter, even if she wasn't my biological daughter, I would still treat her like one."

Several people had their own ideas, and they all sighed that there was no method to refine iron tools.

The emperor chatted with them for a while, but when he couldn't hear any useful information, he let them go home.

As soon as the old man arrived home with his granddaughter, Feng Shang followed him to the Duke's Mansion.

"Congratulations, Miss Jun, for another promotion."

"Thank you, eunuch."

Jun Shutong sent the people from the palace away with ease and hurried back to his own courtyard with the gold notes.

Seeing that the servant had not caught up yet, he had already put the gold note into the space.

[I must keep this money safe and not let my father borrow it again.]

Thinking of the gold coins that Jun Wansheng borrowed last time, she felt pained. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

[The emperor is so generous, he doesn't know that my father wants to borrow money from me, right?]

[He gave me the money, and my father used it to support his army. A perfect example of taking from the people and giving back to the people. It's waiting for me now!]

[Okay, okay, that's how we play it, huh? This time, even if the king of heaven comes, don't even think about taking a penny from me.]

[Host, don't be angry. Being angry will affect your development. You're still a child. We won't lend money to anyone in the future.] The system quickly came out to comfort him.

The news that Dayu had "black iron from outer space" was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, causing a frenzy on the Tianxing Continent.

Three days later, envoys from Southern Chu came to visit.

"Xuan, the envoy from Southern Chu is here to see you."

"Yelü Ao, the envoy of the Southern Chu State, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"The messenger is excused."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yelu Ao was followed by several followers, who also saluted Emperor Shunde, but not the noble salute, but the servant's kneeling salute.

"I wonder what the envoy from Nanchu is here for?"

"Your Majesty, my king heard that the Great Yu Kingdom had obtained something from outer space, and he specifically asked us to come and observe it."

"If you can bring some back, Nan Chu will be very grateful."

"I hope Your Majesty will allow us to observe it for a while, so that we can have an explanation when we return."

"Come here, present the black iron for the envoys to see."

Emperor Shunde did not show it on his face, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart, both happy and worried.

He was really afraid that some country would steal this "black iron" and then develop the secret recipe themselves.

Especially Xiyue, their national teacher comes from the same place as Jun Yatou.

[System, why are they so interested in these waste products?]

[It is said that things are valuable because they are rare. Things that do not exist in this world are naturally considered rare.]

Yelu Ao took the pile of "waste" and observed it carefully, looked at it, and even broke it apart with his hands.

Jun Shutong was speechless upon seeing this scene: "If you can break 22nd century steel with your bare hands, you'd be the first in history. I'll definitely help you apply for a Guinness World Record in this world."
