Chapter 89

Standing on the shoulders of great men, everything does not need to start from scratch.

Therefore, after reading all the notes compiled by Jiang Li and deeply understanding them, the dwarfs quickly made achievements in the research of modern technology and successfully replicated those things.

For example, electric lights.

After the first electric light was invented, the first place to popularize it was the streets of Dore City. The cost of magic lamps was too high, and torches were originally used to illuminate the streets. After learning that the dwarves had developed electric lights, Lord Dean quickly placed a large order and installed electric lights on the main streets of Dore City.

First, the streets, and then the wires were laid to the homes of other residents, starting from the city lord's mansion and spreading to the surrounding areas. The residents of Dore City have long been curious about electric lights, especially seeing Jiang Li's house light up every night. Jiang Li's alien neighbors are more covetous than anyone else.

One day, Jiang Li was sitting in a supermarket when he saw the door of a clothing store across the street open. A dwarf went in with his toolbox on his back and stayed there for a long time before coming out.

Other shop owners on the street gathered to watch, and Jiang Li also went over to see what was going on. He saw that a lamp had been hung on the roof of the store.

The tailor pressed the switch, and the light came on, emitting a soft glow.

"This is the first electric light in our shopping street!"

"No, the first light should be in the supermarket owned by Mr. Jiang Li."

After a long time, everyone has known that the bright long light tube above the supermarket is not a magic light, but an electric light.

The tailor smiled and said, "There is no way. I have only fabrics here. I have to be very careful to avoid causing a fire. With the electric light, it has become much safer."

Other shop owners responded, "Yes, and it is much cheaper than the magic light."

Once the magic light is on, it will not go out until the magic energy inside is exhausted. Not only is the light itself expensive, but the energy is also expensive.

The shop owners in the shopping street whispered to each other: "I heard that the owner of the magic props store also wants to install electric lights."

"What?"

"After all, magic lamps are not as convenient as electric lights. I heard that even Mr. Brian has already used electric lights. He is a powerful master of magic circles."

"I have also reserved an electric light." The chubby proprietress of the bakery sighed and said, "But Mr. Eugene's order has been scheduled for a week later."

"Recently, a lot of dwarves have come to Dore City. They seem to be friends of Mr. Eugene. They come here to help because of the electric lights."

While the shop owners in the shopping street were discussing, Jiang Li looked outside and happened to see a group of dwarves passing by.

They looked similar to Eugene, short and stocky, with thick hair and beards. Their unkempt, curly hair covered most of their cheeks, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes. They had a lot of tools hanging from their bodies, and they always appeared in the tavern drunk and laughing.

Seeing that the team of dwarves had turned into the supermarket, Jiang Li quickly retreated.

When he entered the supermarket, the dwarves had already picked up the goods they wanted from the shelves - various types of alcohol. Although the owner was not there, they lined up in front of the cashier in an orderly manner. One of the dwarves muttered something and was kicked viciously by his companion next to him.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting." Jiang Li went around to the back of the cashier and checked out for the group of dwarves.

The oldest one counted out the coins from his pocket and put them on the counter without dropping a single one. After paying, they did not leave immediately. They pushed each other and then turned their backs to each other, talking quietly with their heads together.

Jiang Li looked at the group of dwarves in confusion. From his angle, he could only see the tops of their heads gathered in a circle.

After a while, they came to a conclusion. The oldest dwarf cleared his throat, stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang Li."

Jiang Li responded puzzledly, "Hello?"

"We recently moved to Dore City after receiving Eugene's letter. He said that he had a rare new discovery and needed our help." The leading dwarf said, "Recently, we have been helping him install electric lights for Dore City."

Jiang Li: "I heard about it. Thank you for your hard work."

The dwarf stroked his beard. To be more precise, he seemed to be trying to comb his messy beard neatly to make him look more dignified and neat. He said excitedly: "We heard from Eugene that everything about electricity was taught by you!"

Another younger dwarf beside him couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped in to say: "I clean your statue every day and give you the freshest apple pie!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li closed his eyes tightly.

...Don't worship him as a strange thing!

"Bart!"

An angry roar came from outside the door, and Eugene walked in angrily with heavy footsteps: "I reminded you not to bother Mr. Ginger! You broke our agreement!"

Bart, the oldest dwarf, pulled his beard knottedly: "Yes, Eugene, I remember what you said, but...but..."

"No buts." Eugene said angrily: "It's agreed in advance that I will call you to Dore City to share my achievements with you, and you have to do what I say, you shouldn't act on your own!"

"But those things have always been on the shelves!" Bart also raised his voice, pointed to a certain place in the supermarket, and argued loudly: "As long as you come to this supermarket, every time, everyone will see that they are sold goods."

Eugene also answered loudly: "I have tried it a long time ago, those are not for sale!"

Bart muttered: "But...but..."

The dwarves are strong and their quarrels are as loud as bells. Jiang Li looked in the direction they were quarreling. It was a row of small appliances.

As a supermarket that sells everything, Jiang Li's supermarket certainly also sells some basic small appliances, such as electric fans, electric kettles, and rice cookers. However, before this, he had never sold them in the other world.

The reason is that all these need to be plugged in, and there are no wires in the other world.

However, things are different now.

The dwarves were arguing fiercely, and in the center of the storm, Jiang Li interrupted and said, "You can sell it."

"You can..." Eugene suddenly shut up, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes behind his shaggy beard widened in disbelief: "...You can sell it?!"

Jiang Li: "Yes."

The young dwarf behind Bart cheered, and Bart couldn't help showing a smug expression on his face: "See, Eugene! You were wrong."

Eugene said incoherently: "But... before... it was not for sale..."

"Wasn't there no electricity before?" Jiang Li said: "Even if I sold it to you, you couldn't use it. Even if you sold it, it would just be a waste."

Eugene was stunned by this sudden surprise. The dwarf was stunned. He had already prepared to develop those electrical appliances on his own. Those notebooks alone benefited him a lot. With enough theoretical support, it was only a matter of time before he could replicate those electrical appliances, but...

the other dwarves reacted faster than Eugene. When they learned that they could be sold, they rushed to the shelves and took down the boxes of electrical appliances from them. Some were placed on the higher shelves, and the dwarves stepped on their companions' shoulders without hesitation.

"We want all of these!"

Although the small appliances sold in Jiangli Supermarket are not expensive smart products, they are of various types. Each dwarf holds one in his hand. Eugene ran at the end and picked up the largest electric fan.

Throwing down a bag of gold coins, before Jiangli gave him the change, the dwarves ran out of the door happily and ran towards the workshop.

More electrical appliances! More technology! More beauty of forging metals and ores!

Goddess, they must offer a sumptuous feast in front of the statue today!

...

When the demon king Nekomus visited the human city of Dore again, it was a starless night.

He got off the black dragon's back as usual and stopped at a place far away from the human city. The Demon King's city has no day or night. Unfortunately, today, when he landed, the sky and the earth were pitch black.

The black dragon whispered behind him: "Nebros, I want more Gru than last time."

"Got it."

The black dragon turned around anxiously: "Nebros, can't I go with you?"

The Demon King didn't answer him and had already walked away.

The black dragon had no choice but to lie down on the spot, coiled himself into a circle, and rested his head on his tail, waiting for his slave to return. He thought of Serego, who lived in that human city, and could enjoy the freshest and most delicious food every day. If Nekomus hadn't stopped him from competing for Serego's territory, he would have taken over that human city and let those humans offer the most delicious offerings to the great Savile every day.

The black dragon sneezed and waited eagerly.

The demon king walked in the night, and the monsters disappeared in the shadows of the trees. Occasionally, a low roar or a hoarse cry of a crow came from the darkness. He was accustomed to such darkness, and even the protruding stones on the ground did not trip him up.

Occasionally, a monster would quietly approach in the darkness, sticking out its sharp claws in the pitch black, but before it could touch him, it would be swallowed up by the black magic energy, and before it could even scream, it would have already turned into a pool of blood.

His eyes were accustomed to the darkness, so when the brightly lit human city in the distance came into view in the dark night, Nekomus could not help but stop.

"What is that?" He looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "Is this what fire looks like?"

The human city in the distance was shining with faint lights as dense as the stars in the sky. When the lights from every household were turned on, the city of Dore under the night sky was like a bright gem flowing in the darkness, quietly emitting its dazzling brilliance.

Nekomus approached the human city at the fastest speed, until he saw the closed city gate, he suddenly realized that the time to enter the city had passed.

The demon king gathered his robes, sat on a stone, and quietly waited for the arrival of dawn.

Nekomus looked up at the city wall. The guard at the gate seemed to be asleep, leaning against the wall without moving. A flashing lamp hung above his head, illuminating the texture of the stone surface of the city wall.

For the first time, Nekomus was eager to see the dawn.
