"Member of the Legislative Council? Haha... Young people should be more realistic. Don't think that just because there have been a few people in Zion who became members of the Legislative Council as researchers, you can do the same.
In the hundred-year history of Zion, the number of councilors alone has exceeded 300, and there are only 4-5 such people in total.
Heroic hymns are indeed worth remembering, but more often than not, they are just the yearning of ignorant people.”
Aqi said a lot, which generally denied Xu Le. She looked like a lady who was easy to talk to, but perhaps the real situation was not as she looked.
Hearing Aqi's comment, Xu Le nodded and looked at the tattooed Gougude.
Good smiled and said nothing, but he arched his lips at Moen, meaning that he wanted to listen to Moen's opinion first.
But at this time, Moen was still immersed in the Bright Soap and had no intention of paying attention to what the other people said.
He carefully opened the paper package, and strong blue ancient sound energy immediately began to float outward.
The most intuitive thing was that Moen's old face was illuminated by the blue light. The office, which was not very bright because the lights were not turned on, turned into another color because the soap was turned on.
The brilliant blue light seemed to bring this office into the ocean.
Aqi on the side frowned slightly. Even if she didn't understand energy science, the light and momentum emitted by the soap were enough to let everyone know that this was no ordinary thing.
"This thing..."
Tattooed Gogud also came over at this time.
"It's a beautiful thing, a glowing object?"
"It's energy." Moren said heavily, but he added in his heart: powerful energy.
"Energy? Does Zion still lack energy? Don't we have the most abundant energy reserves among the four major city-states?"
Archie folded his arms, revealing a kind of... arrogance that the others saw as that of an ignorant person.
Zion does have the most powerful and abundant energy reserves, but why does Zion need so many energy reserves
It’s because I have nothing to rely on.
The Lighthouse has the Golden Tree of Light, Tianrui Lifeng has the Volcanic Land, and their population is also exploding. Not to mention the Red Moon Temple, they claim that the moon belongs to them.
Zion is said to be the capital of technology, but the reality is that other people there rely on mutations, gods, and outrageous things like the world. Zion has none of those, so it can only rely on itself.
So Zion is actually the city among the four major city-states that needs new energy the most.
Without change, we will be annihilated.
"This is incredible stuff, what are its raw materials?"
“Weird, a zombie, a ghost, or a crawler can turn into this.
Endless weirdness will bring us endless resources and power, and Zion will enter a new era."
Xu Le's words seemed a bit arrogant. Many people have said similar things about leading Zion into a new era.
But in reality? It's just some minor fights.
Archie's eyes flickered as she looked at Moen's serious expression and she swallowed back the words "shameless".
"This kid..."
After feeling the power of the soap, Moen slowly placed it on the table and turned to look at Xu Le:
"Very stable and very powerful, can it be mass-produced?"
"It can be mass-produced. These 9 pieces are the output for one night."
Xu Le did not continue to hide at this time, because he really didn't know how much pressure Li Wen was under.
He was afraid that before he could do anything, Li Wen would be the first to break down, and then he would be finished.
Something like a furnace needs a backer before it can appear.
And after appearing, you need a backer even more.
In the early stage, it is because of resources, and in the later stage, it is for safety.
The education and influence Xu Le received forced him to believe that there are not so many good people in the world and everyone could be a bad person.
Li Wen has always been very protective of them, and now it is time for him to give back to Li Wen.
“9 dollars?” Moen nodded slightly, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with the amount being too little or too much.
"What's your name? I forgot."
"My name is Xu Le."
"Okay, what did you say you wanted?"
Xu Le looked at Morn and immediately felt that the old man was looking for trouble by asking such questions continuously, but he still said patiently:
“I said, I want to be a member of parliament.”
This time, Xu Le had no intention of hiding his ambition. His goal was very clear: to become a member of parliament.
After confirming Xu Le's request, Old Moen didn't even blink, and didn't know whether to do it or not.
"Congressman, that's great. I'm about to leave soon. Do you want me to give you my seat?"
Moen's voice was a little hoarse, with a smiling expression on his face, and it was unclear whether he was serious or just talking casually.
"Mr. Moon?" Archie suddenly interrupted.
"What's wrong?" Moen turned his head curiously.
"How can you make such a casual decision on such a matter, councillor? If you make such a decision now, are you going to ignore the previous judgment of the parliament?"
"Oh!~ You mean Wang Xi, Edita and Luo Lan? Oh, oh, oh, I forgot. After all, I'm old and my memory is not good."
Archie narrowed his eyes. How could this old fox forget such an important thing
But at this time, Morn turned to Xu Le:
"Xu Le, right? Do you really have to come out and vote?" Moen held a cigarette again and leaned back on the sofa.
Li Wen on the side took the initiative to light it for him, then looked at Xu Le.
Xu Le didn't understand what was going on, but at this point in time, he could only go for it.
"Yes, I will definitely run for election. Whoever has the most ability will be the councillor."
Moen, Li Wen, and Xu Le were all smiling, and it felt like three old friends were having a party.
Then, Moen and Li Wen looked at Archie together, and then nodded at Xu Le, meaning that he should ask Archie directly.
Xu Le immediately understood what the two meant and turned to look at Mrs. Aqi:
"Mrs. Archie, I have made such a great contribution to Zion. Do you support me being a member of parliament?"
Aqi didn't expect that this sudden forced abdication would fall on her. She didn't even know what Guangming Soap was.
She glanced at Li Wen and Moen, then at Xu Le, and suddenly laughed:
"Dr. Xu Le has so many people supporting him, so it doesn't matter whether I support him or not. I have to go back to a meeting later, so let me take my leave first."
Aqi said that it didn't matter, but in fact she had already made her attitude clear, which was that she would not support Xu Le.
Maybe she has made her choice.
After Archie left, Good closed the door on his own initiative, and the room fell into silence again.
After a while, Morn suddenly said:
"Did she betray us?"
"I don't know, Xu Le, what do you think?" Li Wen suddenly asked.
Xu Le was stunned. He didn't even know that Aqi. What could he say at this time? He could only talk nonsense.
"The famous botanist Liu Huaqiang once said that when you doubt whether a melon is raw, the melon is already unripe in your mind, so it doesn't matter whether you crack it or not.
Once suspicion arises, the crime of betrayal is established."
Li Wen nodded slightly. Although he didn't know who this famous botanist Liu Huaqiang was, he must be an extraordinary person to be able to say such words.
"Yes, once suspicion arises, the crime of betrayal is established. Archie is no longer on the same path with us."
At this time, Morn walked towards Xu Le, holding a piece of bright soap in his hand:
"You can make 9 of this thing in one night?"
"Yes, you can."
"Is Gu Yinduo made in such a strange way?"
"Mr. Moen, I have explained this question before."
"Okay, what's its real name?"
"We usually call it soap." Xu Le said with a slight sense of ease, as if jokingly.
"But it has the word 'light' on it. It should have a greater and more resonant name, a real name."
Xu Le pondered for a moment. This thing did have a name, but this name might not be allowed by this world, especially not by the Red Moon Temple.
"It's called the Ancient Sound Multi-Tech Core."
"Isn't this name... a little inappropriate?" Li Wen was the first to question.
Apart from anything else, the whole society is now dominated by the Red Moon.
The Red Moon Temple itself has absolute repressive power, and it holds an intolerable attitude towards Gu Yinduo. If this name is released, it will definitely cause conflicts.
And it's not just the Red Moon Temple that is under pressure. In fact, Gu Yinduo himself will face resistance from the people.
For example, the previous incident of Gu Yin having multiple children has not been perfectly resolved until now.
A few security guards were arrested, a few family members of the offenders were shot, and then what
There is no more...
It is almost impossible to investigate the people behind Gu Yin's multiple descendants because the obstacles are too many and too great.
All these will lead to people's resistance to Guyinduo. If the name Guyinduo is used now, leaving aside the Red Moon Temple, perhaps a group of Zion angry young people will rush into the Bright Soap Factory out of their own wits.
After hearing Xu Le talk about the core of Guyinduo technology, Old Moen also frowned.
“Your technology is indeed using ancient sound to extract energy, which is a great innovation.
This name is indeed risky, but it is also a clear declaration, telling the world that we in Zion can truly utilize the energy of ancient sounds, which is indeed enough to change the landscape of Zion and even future innovations.
And for you personally, the Declaration is your ticket to the parliamentary round table, Dr. Schuler."
What did Moen call Xu Le before
Brat, that guy, I don’t know him, damn it.
Now what
Dr. Xu Le.
I don’t know whether this is a quick turnaround for politicians or a recognition of Xu Le as a person.
But it’s okay, at least I’m not a punk anymore.
"Will Mr. Morn support me in becoming a councillor?"
Morn stood up and extended his hand towards Xu Le:
"Dr. Xu Le, I will fully support you in becoming a Zion councillor."
After Moen made his statement, Tattooed Brother Good finally spoke up, and his words were concise and to the point:
"Me too."
"Thank you." Xu Le bowed slightly.
…
In Li Wen's office.
After Xu Le left, Morn suddenly became depressed.
He sat down on the sofa tiredly, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and smelled it, and then he felt a little better.
"Old man, how long can you hold on?" Li Wen asked.
"Who knows? Let's just take it one day at a time."
"Don't you have any clues about the longevity fruit?"
"You can't buy the longevity fruit just because you want it. I have money and I want it, no problem. But aren't there a lot of rich people in Zion? Quite a few...
If they get a longevity fruit, they will most likely hide it or eat it themselves and will not sell it to me.
They just want me to die, hehe."
Morn's voice was still hoarse and his body looked extremely old, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
Li Wen glanced at Moen, as if to confirm Moen's physical condition.
"Just don't die suddenly. At least wait until the election is over."
"So I am the tool you used to push this kid to the top? You bastard, cough cough cough..."
"That's probably it." Facing Moren's question, Li Wen admitted it nonchalantly.
But Morn nodded:
"I have never understood why you are unwilling to be a member of parliament yourself. If you wanted to, you would have had the opportunity to become a member of parliament a long time ago."
When Li Wen heard that Moen wanted him to be a member of parliament, he shook his head:
"Old man, don't use your thoughts to judge my actions. I don't have any grand plans to implement, so becoming a member of parliament is just like drinking tea for a few years."
"Is that really the case?"
"If I become a councillor, I will not be able to fully support young people like Xia Libo, Zhang Nuoan and Xu Le. Although they all have various shortcomings, their ideas are commendable.
Zion needs people like them who are thoughtful and creative, but I myself have no thoughts and no creativity, so I can't do it.
These thoughtful and creative people need resources and help, and it is my responsibility to be the one who helps them.”
Morn nodded, but he suddenly asked:
“What if no such person appears?”
"If you don't have it, go look for it, cultivate it, and wait. I'm only 50 years old, I have plenty of time to wait. I never cut back on research and development expenses. This is what makes me different from those people.
As long as I am in this position, Zion will not be short of talent in the worst case scenario.
I just had to wait for an opportunity. Fortunately, God took care of me and Zion, and brought me Xia Libo, Zhang Nuoan, and Xu Le. "
"You said before that Xu Le doesn't know any technology and is a complete idiot."
“Does it matter whether he understands technology or not?”
Moen narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Wen for a long time, then picked up the soap in front of him, which was the Guyinduo technology core.
"Indeed, it doesn't matter what he did before since he can come up with something like this."
"When will Xu Le's news be announced?"
"May 20th, let me test the strength of the energy core first, and then let that kid accumulate more and send them all over."
Hearing what Moen said, Li Wen was a little surprised:
"You mean, we need to use this batch of ancient sound multi-tech cores? Forget it, it's too confusing. Let's just call it soap to save trouble."
Moen spread his hands and looked at Li Wen with a slightly disdainful look:
"You are indeed good at logistics, but when it comes to showing off, you are still a little behind."
"What do you mean?"
"That guy thought of using sealing paper to isolate the energy and then scare me. Why can't you think of this?"
Li Wen frowned. He still didn't understand what Moen was going to do. This time it was Moen's turn to explain patiently.
“Think about it, when the black tide comes, all Zion equipment will be replaced with new energy sources, and after the battle, another message will be sent over the radio.
The energy this time is provided by Dr. Xu Le's Guyinduo Technology Core, which can support the creation of the world.
Guyin multi-core technology and energy are beyond your imagination.
This is called a great shock, have you learned it?"
Li Wen almost lost his temper after hearing this. Such an awkward advertising slogan...
"Really, are you serious?"
"If you think one person is cool, ten people are exciting, and a hundred people are blood boiling. Learn from them."
…
In the evening, at Wang Xi’s manor.
Rona kept staring at the direction of the Guangming Soap Factory. In front of her was a pile of Guyinduo cards, and her face looked very solemn.
Suddenly, Rona put away all the Guyinduo cards, thinking that Gu Beichen had come.
But when she looked at the door, she realized that the person standing at the door was Zhou Di.
"What are you doing here?"
"You felt it too, didn't you?"
"I felt it? What are you talking about?"
Seeing that Rona had no intention of admitting it, Zhou Di's expression gradually became playful.
“The Red Moon Temple sends a large number of spies to the other three city-states every year. These spies are hidden in various levels, such as travelers, employees, mercenaries, or international students.
These spies are usually tasked with monitoring the three city-states and investigating information, which is very different from mercenary warlocks like us, right?"
"You really are good at imagining things. Have you heard too many rumors about the Red Moon Temple?"
"Whether it's imagination or not, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, but I think you should be very interested in that place. What a rich ancient sound and energy...
If you can investigate the situation there, you should be able to return to the Red Moon Temple, right?"
Rona narrowed her eyes and said nothing.
Zhou Di continued:
"Since there's such a big commotion, I think something important must have happened. If you miss tonight and that place becomes more important, you might not have a chance, Warlock Rona.
We will take action in a moment, you must follow us!"
Zhou Di left after he finished speaking and came to the outside of Wang Xi's room.
A team of people was already waiting here, led by three people with different characteristics, a scarred and strong warlock, a short woman, and something almost hidden in the shadows.
Zhou Di couldn't sense what he was, and wasn't even sure if it was it.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that these three people all have the aura of Gu Yinduo.
Such private soldiers are too strange.
As a warlock of the Red Moon Temple, cooperating with Gu Yinduo is simply a betrayal and blasphemy to the temple. However, given his current situation, it would be almost the same even if he didn't betray the temple.
"Are you ready?"
The leading warlock stared at Zhou Di, making him feel chilly, but he was not afraid of him and just nodded.
"alright."
"Okay, let's go."
"good."
As the owner of this place, Wang Xi did not show up, and it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.
After all these people left, Rona's figure quietly appeared at the door. She stared at the departing crowd for a while before getting up and following them.
This is not over yet. After Rona left, Gu Beichen quietly stood in Rona's previous position.
Before he could leave, a mean voice stopped him.
"Hey, Warlock Gu Beichen, please take care!~"
"Huh?" Gu Beichen stopped with some confusion. He saw Wang Qing walking behind him.
After looking Wang Qing up and down, Gu Beichen asked doubtfully:
"Didn't I tell you to wait for notification? Just wait for Xiong Nuoan's call at home."
"It's not Xiong Nuoan's business. I came here specifically to remind Mr. Gu Beichen."
"Oh, what is it?"
"I don't know the other two, but I'm sure the guy hiding in the shadows is not human. It looks like a ghost, but it will actually turn into a pus-like monster. You have to be careful."
Regardless of the purpose of Wang Qing's reminder, it was well-intentioned and useful to Gu Beichen at this time. He nodded to Wang Qing:
"Thank you very much."
…
After everyone left, in the deepest part of the manor.
Mrs. Aqi, who was negotiating with Li Wen and others during the day, was drinking and chatting comfortably with Wang Xi.
Both of them were a little tipsy. Mrs. Archie leaned lazily in her chair, drank the wine in her glass, and then said:
"That guy has been recognized by Morn. I heard that he has a technology that can change the situation in Zion?"
"Use technology to change the situation in Zion? Don't be ridiculous. The Red Moon Temple has been oppressing us like this. Zion has developed technology for so many years, but I haven't seen any changes in the situation.
Technology is not an option. As the black tide grows stronger, Zion needs a stronger force to protect itself."
Hearing what Wang Xi said, Mrs. Aqi nodded heavily.
During the last black tide, although the large ground forces were blocked by the city defenses, many flying species still rushed into the parliament building.
A zombie dragon rushed in front of Archie.
She felt like she was going to die, but she was saved just before she died.
He is the one with the three black trees, and he has many descendants.
From that moment on, Archie felt firsthand the importance of power. Economy and resources are not power, and are far from the importance that power brings.
Power is power, it is something that exists objectively.
When death approaches, no matter how much money, connections, and resources you have, they all become meaningless.
Because I have no strength, I cannot protect myself.
"Yes, Zion needs strength, lots of strength.
"Zion can no longer go on like this. Only by changing and gaining the power of the Son of Ancient Yinduo can we have the capital to fight against the Red Moon Temple and the ability to fight against darkness."
"Will the Son of Gu Yinduo give us the power to change the current situation?" Archie seemed to be making an important decision.
"Of course, ma'am, you should be able to see the newspaper about the Bright Soap Factory tomorrow morning.
Those who have become your troubles may no longer exist tomorrow morning."
Hearing Wang Xi say this, Aqi raised his glass:
“For Zion.”
“For Zion.”
