The two princes of Qi and Zhou reached a high degree of consensus in broad daylight and exchanged the way of survival in a magical way.
One was proud of having answered the question correctly, while the other was thinking of 108 ways to trick people.
Although their thoughts were completely different, on the surface, the atmosphere was harmonious.
The followers of both parties standing not far away could not hear what they were saying, but looking at the expressions of their respective princes, they were extremely pleased and full of anticipation for the upcoming alliance negotiations.
On the other hand, Teacher Bian Cheng has decided to go to Bankui Country in person and applied for a new task from the system.
【Explore the Kingdom of Banque 0/1】.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the task details are not reflected in much detail, and instead Teacher Bian will directly contact the corresponding major.
The first one I found was the Agricultural College.
After a brief discussion between the teachers of both sides, the Agricultural College decided to select a class, most of whom had experience in completing tasks after time travel.
Among them is Ji Liang.
All in all, Ji Liang has a great reputation in Langyun. As the first person to go out on a mission on behalf of the Agricultural College, he has accumulated considerable points.
However, because classmate Ji was always busy in the fields and teacher Bian was mainly responsible for industrial production, it was difficult for the two to meet even if they were in the same county town.
At this moment, Ji Liang greeted Teacher Bian very obediently: "Hello, teacher."
Teacher Bian smiled and nodded, looking down at the man slightly. After a moment's scrutiny, he said softly, "It's been a long time since we last met. You don't look like you've changed at all."
Ji Liang subconsciously touched his face, feeling rather embarrassed: "I don't know why, I never get tanned even though I'm out in the sun every day."
Unexpectedly, Teacher Bian shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant."
Ji Liang was stunned: "That is..."
Then the teacher stretched out his hand and gestured. There was no sarcasm, just a statement of fact, with a hint of confusion: "You were this tall the last time I saw you, and you're still this tall this time. How come you haven't grown at all?"
Ji Liang: ...
When talking about this, Ji felt bitter.
Although Langyun has traveled through time, he still arranges physical examinations on campus every year to ensure the physical and mental health of the students.
One of them is height measurement.
As a member of the genius class, Ji Liang was only sixteen years old when he traveled through time. His short stature could be attributed to his late development.
Anyway, just wait for two years and it will eventually make a comeback.
Even if you are not yet an adult, you still have a chance.
But now, after four years of traveling through time, not only has he not grown up, even his normal growth has stagnated!
Four years, four physical examination reports, and the height column is exactly the same.
Ji Liang felt a toothache every time he thought about this.
Why don't you grow taller?
Could it be that he is too smart and his height has been hindered by his knowledge?
Feeling depressed, his already childish face became even rounder.
At this time, he and Teacher Bian had already walked to an open place.
Ji Liang looked around and soon stopped.
Langyun University is quite large, and after the time travel, the original vacant land has been planned out.
But because there are so many majors and so many students, not many can be obtained in each major.
Just like the Agricultural College, even the small gardens have started to set up experimental fields.
They even started planning to plant winter melons in the corners of the walls and rice in the cracks of the ground, taking the idea of planting "rice seedlings" wherever there is space to the extreme.
For this reason, Ji Liang had studied various constructions within the school and naturally knew this place.
I also know Teacher Ruan with a gentle smile.
Ammunition Engineering and Explosive Technology.
This name seems to come with its own background music, and it sounds very cool just by saying it.
Ji Liang looked at the person not far away, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "Um, Teacher Bian, let's not go over there."
Teacher Bian asked with a smile: "Why?"
Ji Liang muttered, "It's... too dangerous."
But Teacher Bian said, "Actually, I came here specifically to invite them to send someone to Bankui."
Ji Liang was dumbfounded: "Why?"
Teacher Bian spoke calmly, "This time is different from before. Whether it's Qi or Zhou, they all have good intentions and have been educated, so they can understand each other's thoughts to some extent. However, Bankui is located across the sea, a new place. Although it's peaceful and without war, we must remain vigilant."
Ji Liang was younger after all, so he swallowed subconsciously after hearing this: "Unsafe?"
Teacher Bian smiled and said, "Whether it's safe or not depends on what results Teacher Ruan can come up with."
Just then, Teacher Ruan saw them and walked over with a smile.
He only had a notebook for recording information and no other instruments, which made Ji Liang feel a lot more at ease.
Since Teacher Bian had already greeted the other party before coming, Teacher Ruan didn't ask any more questions. He directly called over a pretty girl and said softly, "Twenty people from our department will be with you this time. This is the team leader, Gu Lexin."
Gu Lexin greeted her politely, and Ji Liang also hurriedly introduced himself, while secretly looking at this senior student.
She wears glasses, has long hair loose, and a pearl hairpin. She has dimples when she smiles, and she is so cute.
If it were before, Ji Liang would still be confused by appearance.
But now, after traveling through time for many years, he has seen through it.
None of the people who are listed as elite students in various majors of Langyun are good people.
Kun Jingming looks serious, but he speaks in a strange way.
Yan Tao looked cute, but she pulled out her gun without mercy.
Not to mention someone like Xia Ying who wouldn't blink even when being pricked with needles or stabbed with a knife...
Never judge a person by his appearance.
There is no trust between people at all!
So, Ji Liang's baby face was full of solemnity, and he was even more cautious when talking to Cheng Lexin, for fear that this senior sister who was studying bang bang bang would be unhappy and send him to the sky to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Teacher Bian didn't notice anything unusual about this person and just said to Teacher Ruan, "This mission is quite far away, so I'm afraid I'll need your help."
Teacher Ruan was generous: "No problem, I've already given Xiao Gu everything he might need, and we were going there anyway."
"What's wrong?"
"There's a mission."
Since it was on the way, Teacher Ruan didn't keep it a secret.
She pulled out her phone, pulled up a map, and handed it to Teacher Bian. She said, "A student accepted a mission a year ago to build a ship on the coast. The coastline there belongs to Qi State, and the shipyard is also there. It's across the sea from Bankui State, where you're going."
Teacher Bian became interested: "Have they ever been to Ban Kui?"
Teacher Ruan recalled for a moment and replied, "Not really. I remember them saying that Ban Kui stopped allowing outsiders to enter ten years ago. The specific circumstances are unclear, but since they are poor and far away, no one cares."
Ji Liang poked his head in at the right moment and asked, "Teacher Ruan, are you still in charge of shipbuilding?"
Teacher Ruan smiled and said, "No matter what, we're just helping out because they need us and earning some extra points."
Ji Liang became curious: "What can I help you with?"
This time it was Gu Lexin who answered: "Although Qi has a large population, there are fewer people near the sea. In addition, it is always easy to encounter pirates when building ships and going out to sea."
"The Qi government doesn't care?"
"We can't manage it. Our ships aren't good enough, and we often never return. Coastal villages and merchant ships are often attacked, and countless ships have been sunk. And every time, it's with swords and knives. It's terrifying, so they come to us for help."
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and took out a small ball.
The thing is pink, palm-sized, and looks quite heavy, but the color is really very cute and childlike, just like the ocean balls that children play with.
Gu Lexin said in a soft voice: "This is a smaller version of the test product, for defense."
Ji Liang poked his head out and asked, "What's your name?"
Student Gu smiled and said, "Not yet."
"Is it safe?"
"Very safe."
As she said that, she threw it away.
The moment the sphere landed, flames suddenly shot up into the sky.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and Ji Liang was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
Then he stared in amazement at the smoke spreading out from inside and the small round hole on the ground that seemed completely inconsistent with the noise.
It's really small, and doesn't look much bigger than the original ball.
So, Ji Liang felt that this seemed... not as powerful as he had imagined?
He had thought that these people were planning something big, something that would shake the world once they took action, but this one looked extremely peaceful.
Before I could ask, Teacher Bian seemed to be thinking: "Is the main function of this thing to release smoke?"
Teacher Ruan smiled and said, "Yes, although it is to defend against pirates, it is not appropriate to use something that is too powerful at this stage, so this is enough. If the smoke inside is replaced with an anesthetic, it will basically achieve the defensive effect. Of course, if the bandits are rampant, it is easy to change it."
"How?"
Teacher Ruan smiled, said nothing, and just pointed.
Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw the mountains outside the school.
At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but upon closer inspection, I discovered something was wrong.
The mountain in the distance seems to be missing a piece...
Ji Liang's eyes twitched: "Did you guys blow that up?"
Gu Lexin said softly, "It's just a small experiment. I'm also measuring the amount of explosives needed to blow up the tunnel."
Ji Liang's eyes trembled even more: "...If you have the ability and work hard, you can flatten this dimension."
But Gu Lexin gave him a confused look, with doubt clearly visible on her fair face: "If I draw, will I get points?"
Ji Liang: “…No.”
Gu Lexin: "Forget it then."
Ji Liang: ...
Therefore, some people clearly have the tools to attack by dimensionality reduction, but are still willing to contribute to the advancement of the dimensional progress bar.
What is pattern?
Thinking about the evil deeds of the pirates he had just heard about, and then looking at the delicate and cute little round pits on the ground, for a moment, Ji Liang didn't know who he should sympathize with.
If this thing had a name, it would probably be called "Teaching You How to Be a Human Bullet."
This immediately dispelled Ji Liang's idea of taking a few for self-defense.
After all, this thing can send people to hell if you're not careful, so it's better to leave it to professionals.
As for myself...
Little Ji Liang looked at Gu Lexin, who was half a head taller than him, and stood behind her with a calm face, waiting to be protected with confidence.
Don't ask, the only thing you know is that he is underage in height.
Teacher Bian went to look for several other related majors. Perhaps because he was still thinking about "Black Water", he was particularly active.
In less than a week, everyone was gathered and heading towards their destination.
Since this oil trip was very important, they did not alert others and directly borrowed carriages from the School of Economics and Management, disguised themselves as a caravan, and continued on their journey.
The only Aboriginal in the team was Colliver, who used to use the alias Wang Hu.
As a "traitor" who secretly defected from the Kingdom of Banqui, his identity there has become a "fugitive."
In order to avoid his identity being discovered early, he put on a cloak and covered himself tightly, for fear of being recognized.
The closer he got to the coast of Qi, the tighter his cloak became.
After more than ten days of travel, they were about to arrive at the shipyard. As it was getting late, they decided to find an inn to rest. Compared to the others who were relaxed, Colliver simply covered his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
But his tall and strong figure is really different from others and always attracts more attention.
Just as they walked into the inn, they ran into several bearded men dressed as businessmen.
Without exception, all have green eyes.
Teacher Bian immediately realized that these people should be a caravan of Banqui people.
But in order to avoid causing trouble, Langyun had agreed early on that their whereabouts would not be revealed before arriving in Bankui, so Teacher Bian quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.
But those Banqui people looked at the people in front of them with confusion.
To be precise, he was focusing on Colliver.
You know, on this continent, although the people of Qi have enough food and clothing, their height and figure are not outstanding, and they are even shorter than the average height of the Zhou State.
But no matter who it is, they are no match for the Banqui people.
Colliver stood among the Langyun group, standing out from the crowd, which naturally attracted the attention of the Banqui caravan.
This made Ji Liang unconsciously tense up.
He knew very well that if Colliver was discovered, all his previous concealment would be in vain.
But what he never expected was that after staring at Colliver for a while, those green eyes ignored him and walked away, obviously not recognizing him.
He didn't even bother to ask.
This surprised Ji Liang. After they left, he tugged at Colliver's arm and asked, "How did you hide this?"
As he spoke, he raised his head.
Then he met a pair of clear black eyes.
Ji Liang was stunned: "Where are the green eyes you promised me???"
Colliver didn't know how to answer and was a little overwhelmed.
Gu Lexin, who happened to be passing by, turned around and said with a smile, "Girls always have some little props."
Ji Liang: "Ah? For example?"
Gu Lexin: "Colored contact lenses, black. If you want other colors, I have them too. They can even fill your eyes with stars."
Ji Liang: ...
I'm sorry, I'm not worthy.
But Colliver knew that even if he had hidden it this time, there was no guarantee that he would encounter it again next time.
The closer you get to Banqui, the easier it is to reveal your identity.
Once a quarrel breaks out, whether it hurts the immortal or makes people from other countries hear the news, it will be disadvantageous to Banqui.
So he thought for a long time and finally made an important decision.
That night, he sat alone by the window of the guest room, clasped his hands together, and prayed to the moon.
Ji Liang, who happened to be up at night, woke up instantly when he saw this.
Fortunately, it wasn't a full moon, otherwise he would really think that this guy was going to transform facing the moon...
Ji Liang calmed himself down and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Colliver stopped muttering silently, then sighed, looked at Ji Liang with his eyes that had no contact lenses, and said calmly, "I want to ask God for forgiveness for my impending disrespect to him."
Ji Liang was used to seeing people in this dimension talking about their faith in gods and immortals, so he said casually, "I am also a god and immortal. I forgive you."
Relax and go to sleep quickly.
Otherwise, it would be bad to scare others by poking here in the middle of the night...
And Colliver seemed to be enlightened by these words.
He clenched his fists and seemed to have made up his mind.
Then he took out a sharp blade from his arms.
Ji Liang was startled: "You, what are you going to do? Don't do anything stupid!"
But Colliver refused to listen and resolutely raised his knife...
Start shaving.
...The style of painting changes so quickly that it is a bit hard to keep up.
After hearing Colliver's explanation, Ji learned that beards are a way for Banqua men to show their respect to gods, and they must keep them after adulthood and cannot shave them off.
But perhaps because he needed to disguise himself, or perhaps because the real god was right before his eyes, Colliver resolutely shaved his beard to show his determination.
But after all, he had been with her for many years, and every stroke felt like scraping his flesh, so her movements were extremely slow, accompanied by long sighs.
Ji Liang was so tired from reading that he went back to sleep.
In the silence, only the slightest movement and Colliver's unconcealed sighs could be heard.
Wake up and it's dawn.
The next day, when Ji Liang opened his eyes, it was already bright.
He yawned, rubbed his eyes, sat up, and drowsily grabbed his phone to see if there was any new news from school or the mission.
But as soon as he turned his head, his movements froze.
At the same time, his eyes widened and his mouth opened in surprise.
There was a man sitting by the window.
With her long hair loose and lips tightly pursed, she stared at the bronze mirror in front of her without moving.
When he heard the noise and turned around, Ji Liang took a deep breath.
He doesn't know many words, so to sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence:
Looks good... Really looks good...
Her eyes are green and transparent, her face is as white as jade, her lips are small and her chin is delicate.
If he didn't know that there were no other species in this dimension, he might really mistake this person for an elf.
When this person started to call out "Immortal Lord", Ji Liang realized that it was Colliver.
This is actually Culliver...
Recalling the man's majestic appearance, Ji Liang was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "It turns out that bearded men are also potential stocks."
Colliver didn't understand what this meant. He gave a wry smile and touched his chin.
All I felt was a smooth surface.
His beard, his precious beard...
Then he lowered his eyes, his face full of sadness, and his always bright green eyes dimmed.
After all, people are obsessed with looks, regardless of gender.
If it was the one from yesterday, Ji Liang would have patted the other person on the shoulder and told him, "Come on, big brother, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!"
But now, facing such a beauty, Ji Liang couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will help you find a solution."
Colliver pursed his lips until they turned pale, then he said in a hoarse voice, "I am truly ugly like this. It is truly my fault that I have polluted the eyes of the Immortal Lord."
Ji Liang: ...???
My dear brother, did you miss "Versailles" in your long list of names?
