Chapter 73: Night Walk in Brocade Clothes (Part 1) Update
Liu Ziye nodded: "I understand."
Therefore, as long as she performs her tasks well and develops her potential, she can skip a grade and move to a higher class.
This is a great feeling!
As a top student who fought her way through the fierce competition in the college entrance examination, the thing she fears least is the possibility of skipping grades!
As long as you point out the tricks to her, she will skip as many levels as possible!
She thought for a moment and asked again, "Besides this, does this upgrade unlock any new features in the Emperor Development System itself? Like the 'Crisis Warning' feature that was previously available?"
Seeing that Liu Ziye was rarely satisfied with his lengthy answer, the system hurriedly said, "Yes, host!"
"The host has previously analyzed your mission points acquisition and found that there is a benchmark group—that is, the current Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Ziling. There is a relationship of mutual growth and decline between you and Liu Ziling. Liu Ziling's achievements and expansion will reduce the host's points."
Liu Ziye nodded: "That's right."
"Well, after this upgrade, you, the host, will be able to clearly see the comparison between your achievements and strength with Crown Prince Liu Ziling. This value will be updated daily in real time. The points accumulation coefficient based on this comparison will also be updated in real time!"
Upon hearing this news, Liu Ziye was cheered up: "Great!"
It has to be said that what she cannot grasp the most now is the movements of Crown Prince Liu Ziling and how much influence he has on her points.
One thing has always been clear to me about her.
It is true that she has made a lot of achievements in Xiguan County in the past three years, but her influence and control in the entire territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still very limited.
Moreover, in order to protect himself and develop in a low-key manner, Du Hui has always been committed to developing himself while making Xiguan County a united one. On the surface, the fact that Xiguan County has undergone a major change has never been leaked outside Xiguan County.
He kept a low profile for three years and traveled at night in fine clothes.
Outside of Xiguan County, it has no apparent influence.
But Liu Ziling is different.
After all, he is the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, which covers thousands of miles. He has been the center of public attention for a long time, and the impact of his every move is far beyond his own.
He was far away in Yanjing, and even though the Marquis' Mansion had already carried out intelligence work outside the county, it was still difficult for Liu Ziye to know his every move, both openly and secretly.
Every time I achieve something, I can only passively wait and accept the discount effect of the points I earn.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
This system upgrade solved a major problem for her, which was limited information sources.
She couldn't help but praise him: "You are indeed becoming more and more useful."
"Yes! Host!"
This was the first time the system had received recognition from this host, and the simulated "little sweetheart" was about to jump out of its chest with excitement.
It vowed, "I will be even more useful! Trust me, host!"
Liu Ziye smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait and see. You can leave first."
"Hey! I'm leaving now!"
The system temporarily withdrew from his mind, and before Liu Ziye could fully explore the new system situation, Ahuan and Abi came back.
She simply decided to leave checking the new system upgrade module until tonight.
Being in a good mood, I naturally let them off easily when testing them on their homework today.
She stood up and called out, "Xiying."
Xiying, who was guarding the hall, came out upon hearing this and called back, "Young Marquis!"
In three years, Xiying has grown more than half a head taller, his youthfulness has faded a lot, and his thin muscles make him look much more stable.
"Let's go check out Brother Fu's new laboratory!"
After Liu Ziye finished speaking, he signaled Ah Huan and Ah Pi to pack up their things and follow him. The two were in high spirits when they heard that they were going out for a stroll.
He neatly packed his small backpack for going out, and put in some handkerchiefs and other things.
"Yes, young marquis."
After listening to this, Xiying skillfully sent three more personal guards to accompany her, and also informed Marquis Xia Wu that he was leaving the mansion.
Over the past three years, the young marquis's personal guard had long ceased to be just Xiying, but had grown to ten, with Xiying becoming their captain. As for the original Marquis's private guard, now known as the Private Guard Battalion, it numbered a thousand men.
Jin Jie was the chief of the private guard camp, and Xia Wu was the deputy chief of guard.
However, they usually had to take orders from the young marquis to go out on business. For example, Captain Jin of the private guard camp was not at home at the moment. He was sent by the young marquis to Qingcheng on business and had not yet returned to report!
As they were talking, the group walked out of the mansion.
The Yucheng Street in front of the Marquis' Mansion has been renovated and is now four meters wide.
The cement road surface was smooth, grayish white, with a white center line painted in limestone running down the middle. This line served as the dividing line, allowing vehicles on both sides of the road to travel in opposite directions without interfering with each other.
She did not take the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, but simply took her group and walked slowly along the sidewalk marked on the edge of the road.
Xiguan County had just experienced a heavy rain yesterday, and the sound of gurgling water could still be heard from the drainage ditches on both sides of the road.
The science and technology museum and library built in Yucheng are both located on the street where the Xiguanhou Mansion is located.
Both venues were designed and built by the construction workshop of Xiguanhou Mansion. All citizens of Yucheng can enter to read and visit the physical displays of various common farming machinery, textile machines, road machinery, vehicle design structures, etc. in Xiguan County as long as they produce their identity documents.
When Liu Ziye passed by here, the people of Yucheng would not come forward to disturb him or ask him questions as if they had never seen the world.
But they would all pay their respects to the young marquis, and when their eyes met, they would bow slightly and nod to express their respect.
Finally, they arrived at the Fu family experimental workshop in the east of Yucheng City. As soon as they arrived at the door, the Fu family members recognized Liu Ziye.
"Young Marquis, you're here!"
A member of the Fu clan came forward and said, "Young Marquis, are you looking for the young clan leader? Please come in and rest first. I will go and inform the young clan leader!"
Liu Ziye smiled and nodded, then said, "Don't bother. I'll go find Brother Fu wherever he is."
When the man heard him say this, he nodded immediately: "The young patriarch is in the East Third Courtyard, which room specifically..."
"That's all right. I'll go look for him at the East Third Hospital."
"Okay! Then you go, young marquis, I won't bother you anymore!" The man smiled and watched Liu Ziye enter the yard.
This place is called "Fu's Research Institute", but all the members of their Fu clan know that these research laboratories and textile, forging and other workshops were all established through cooperation between the Fu family and the Xiguan Marquisate.
As the founder, partner, and close friend of Fu Zhener, the Young Marquis of Xiguan would certainly not be subject to any restrictions on his comings and goings.
Arriving at the East Third Courtyard, there were also Fu clan members coming and going, each taking care of their own affairs. Upon seeing Liu Ziye, one or two of them came over to greet him with joy.
"Young Marquis, you're here!"
"Brother Xiaozhen is in the sample room! I'll go get him for you!"
Liu Ziye quickly grabbed the young disciple of the Fu family who was about to run away, and raised a finger to make a "hush" gesture.
She said, "Don't go, I'll go see him myself."
When the two men saw the young marquis's expression, they smiled knowingly, and one of them even blinked in response.
Liu Ziye left Xiying here to wait, and only brought Ah Huan and Ah Bi with him.
The three of them walked briskly and slipped out of the sample room like cats.
Liu Ziye stood at the doorway, peeking through the window lattice. He saw Fu Zhen'er, alone, moving between the specimen racks in the sample room. He also had several glass lab dishes placed on a long, central workbench.
He was wearing a long white coat designed by Liu Ziye. While concentrating on observing plant biological samples, he held a charcoal pencil in his hand and recorded the necessary situations in the record book.
He didn't notice at all that there were three heads hanging on the door frame at his door, staring at him.
After a moment, Liu Ziye judged that Fu Zhener should have finished recording a stage, closed the notebook, and sorted out the sample vessels on the operating table.
She then suddenly stood up, strode in, and called out in a calm voice, "Brother Fu."
Fu Zhen'er's hand trembled slightly when she heard the voice.
When she looked up and saw Liu Ziye's light and cunning look, she smiled helplessly and happily: "Ziye."
Ah Huan and Ah Bi no longer needed to hide. They stood up and followed Liu Ziye, looking around Fu Zhener's sample room.
After looking at the sample room, I went to see Fu Zhener.
They were not unfamiliar with the "white coat" on Fu Zhen'er. After all, they often saw this kind of coat in the laboratory in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, as well as in several workshops and mining bases of the Marquis' Mansion.
However, Fu Zhen'er was born beautiful, with deep eye sockets and dark, innocent eyes. This outfit looked unique when worn by Fu Zhen'er.
After looking at it for a while, Ah Bi felt his face getting slightly hot and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Liu Ziye was smiling as he asked Fu Zhen'er, "It's already the 11:00 PM, are you done with your work, Brother Fu?"
"Zi Ye, now that you are here, you should finish your work even if you haven't done it yet!" Fu Zhen'er smiled, took off her white coat, and casually put it on a clothes hanger in the corner.
"Brother Fu, what do you want to do? Let's not do business today. How about we go out and have some fun together?"
"Where to go for entertainment?"
Fu Zhener asked, since Liu Ziye came all the way to invite him, of course he would not refuse.
Liu Ziye glanced at Ah Pi, whose face still blushed, and said with a smile, "I heard the Science and Technology Museum is having a new exhibition today called The Secrets of Mathematics in Architecture. How about we go check it out?"
After leaving Fu's laboratory, the group continued walking along the sidewalk.
Liu Ziye and Fu Zhener were in front, and Xiying, Ahuan and Asi followed behind.
The sky gradually darkened, but people walking on the street could still recognize each other for a moment.
Liu Ziye chatted casually with Fu Zhener, listening to him talk about the observation and cultivation of the several groups of biological and plant samples he had just collected.
"Little Marquis!"
A voice filled with surprise and unexpectedness rang out on the street beside him.
Liu Ziye and Fu Zhen'er both looked towards the sound, and saw a boy about ten years old jumping down from the frame of a car that was commonly seen in Yucheng and was steaming with white steam. He ran straight in this direction like an afterimage.
The boy's face looked unfamiliar; neither Fu Zhen'er, Ahuan, or Abi had ever seen him before.
Fu Zhener took a step forward and stood in front of Liu Ziye.
Xiying also moved quickly, took a step forward, and temporarily stopped the boy who suddenly rushed out.
