Ai Li frowned slightly:
“Was I stupid before?”
Xu Le thought about it. Regarding Rewi Alley's IQ, she seemed to have always been outstanding...
Perhaps due to limitations in her vision and cognition, Rewi Alley's response to the mysterious side was not accurate enough, but she usually had very keen judgment on conventional things.
For example, she once suggested that Xu Le could try to challenge for the position of member of parliament when she only knew a little about him. This is wisdom and vision, and it is very powerful and outstanding.
"I got it wrong. You are not stupid. You are smart and have good vision. Otherwise, you would not have chosen me."
"You're crazy." Ai Li waved her hand, but she still wanted to continue asking the previous question.
"Don't interrupt me, tell me what happened just now. I don't think your purpose is that simple."
"Let's drive first."
Xu Le pointed forward, and Ai Li started the car and drove away from the manor without urging him.
The car was not driving fast, and it seemed like Ai Li was taking Xu Le for a ride. It was a bit absurd for a girl to take a guy for a ride, but it was not the first time between Ai Li and Xu Le.
After all, she often sent Xu Le home before.
Xu Le had been holding his chin with his arm resting on the window, thinking about something. In the past, Ai Li probably would not have disturbed him.
But what happened tonight still made her unable to help but speak:
"I have the same idea as Councillor Morn. I always feel that Xu Le has some other purpose."
Xu Le came back to his senses and realized that she was talking about the previous promotion of free energy for all people. As for his own ideas and policies, Xu Le had never had anyone to discuss with.
Xia Libo? He is a pure researcher.
Wang Shu? He's just a crude warrior. It's more realistic to let him kill people.
Gu Beichen? Ahem…
Ding Ke? Give it a chicken drumstick instead.
Li Wen is definitely the best person to discuss important matters with, but Xu Le doesn't know whether Li Wen can accept his ideas.
Perhaps the Ai Li in front of him was just the person with whom he could discuss things.
After a brief pause, Xu Le finally nodded:
"Yes, I do have some ideas about gathering the people's popularity. Do you think this is a bad idea?"
“But if you become a member of parliament, you can try out an independent policy, isn’t that enough
It is the power of every member of parliament to implement policies, and there is no need to gain additional popularity among the public. "
Ai Li still couldn't understand Xu Le's idea. This time Xu Le had no intention of hiding anything and said slowly:
"I want to change some of the current situation in Zion."
"Change the status quo in Zion? Why?"
"Actually, this idea came to me when I met Mrs. Archie." Xu Le answered truthfully.
"Mrs. Archie, isn't she dead?"
Ai Li is an idealist, but also a very practical person. Her idealism stands on the side of Xu Le, so those who hinder Xu Le are dead, and there is nothing to say.
But she didn't know that it was her attitude that completely changed Xu Le's mind.
"She's a councillor."
"I know."
Xu Le paused. He didn't know how to express himself. He organized his words a little before continuing:
"Although she is on the opposite side of us, she is still a member of the Zion Congress. Do you understand the meaning of this?"
Snap! Xu Le slapped her thigh.
"I don't understand, but you'd better take your hands away. I'm driving." Ai Li shook his head.
“The fact that Old Moen and Uncle Li were able to call on Aqi in the beginning shows one thing: Aqi was originally their ally, or at least he used to be their ally.
However, one such congressman ally betrayed his original ally because of certain changes.
Alliances are powerful and allies are important, but the betrayal of an ally can be fatal.
Wang Xi's attack on us was actually a foreseeable event, but the superiors chose to stand by and watch. Do you know why?"
"Uh..." Ai Li was stunned again.
She seemed to understand some of what Xu Le wanted to express, but she didn't understand it very clearly, which felt a bit strange.
"It's still because of allies, interests, and groups." Xu Le said, shaking his head slightly.
This time, Ai Li understood that Xu Le had doubts about the current policies.
"Do you think that the current parliamentary system is not good? But the people's livelihood in Zion can be said to be the best among the four major city-states. The parliamentary system has lasted for a hundred years. It has given many people with dreams opportunities, just like you."
Xu Le affirmed what Rewi Alley said, but he still did not think that Zion's current system was suitable for this era.
Yes, it’s not bad, it’s just not suitable for the current era.
“You are right, the parliamentary system is fair and gives people like me a chance to be promoted, which is a condition that other city-states do not have.
But because of the fairness of the parliament, power was dispersed, leading to the emergence of three forces: allies, neutrals, and hosts.
Today’s Zion is rich, but it still lacks a decisive voice and power. It is better than fairness, but also weaker than fairness.”
Hearing this, Ai Li understood what Xu Le really meant:
"Use free benefits to exchange for extremely high prestige and reputation, and then use your own extremely high prestige and reputation to achieve a transcendent status, is that right?"
Pah! Xu Le slapped Ai Li's thigh again.
"I told you that you are very smart..."
"Take your hands away."
Xu Le pretended not to hear, but this time Ai Li didn't say much. He just kept driving towards the Guangming Soap Factory.
But on the way, Xu Le's fingers became a little dishonest.
Ai Li frowned slightly, stopped the car abruptly, and turned to look at Xu Le.
Xu Le was also shocked. He thought, he wouldn’t be angry, right
However, Ai Li's eyes did not seem to contain much anger, and the atmosphere was more ambiguous.
In the moonlight, the two gradually moved closer until their shadows stuck together...
When he returned to the Guangming Soap Factory, because some strange things happened in the car, Ai Li lowered his head and went back to his room. His specific expression was unclear.
After Xu Le got out of the car, he raised his left hand, savoring the touch just now, with an intoxicated expression.
"this is life… "
Before he could savor the memory for long, Xia Libo interrupted his thoughts:
"Why did you come back just now? Go back to work."
Xu Le was stunned:
"Back to work? Didn't I tell you that it's OK as long as the furnace is running normally?"
"We have to open two city gates tonight. I won't feel comfortable if you are not here to preside over it."
Xia Libo had a good argument, and Xu Le didn't know how to refute it:
"I've been busy all day, I'm a little tired..."
"Why are you tired? You are only 20 years old. You should shine in your job and contribute your part to Zion."
Xu Le: …
Xu Le was forced to nod numbly:
"All right."
…
According to the same requirements as before, the gate of Area 3 was opened again.
The soldiers on guard were still discussing the matter of opening the gate at night, but since it had not been published in the newspapers yet, the lower-level soldiers did not know what was going on.
I just feel that these stinky researchers in Zion are getting more and more excessive.
"This time the request is more excessive than before. They want us to open two doors."
"What if it triggers a small black tide or something? Wouldn't that be a trap for us?"
"Do you still need to open the door?"
"Of course we have to open it. This is an order from above."
"That… "
"Fart if you want to."
"Will there be any red envelopes tomorrow morning?"
"I don't know about this!"
The soldiers were still nervous. After all, opening the door at night was an absolutely dangerous thing for the soldiers standing guard in the city defense.
And they didn't just open the door, those stinky researchers seemed to have used some means to attract monsters.
As long as the city gate is opened, the monsters will swarm inside, and the natural overflow of heart energy will not be like this at all, it's quite weird.
"Open the door, open the door."
Gates 3-1 and 3-2 were opened. Everything was normal at first, but after a while, the scattered monsters began to gather towards the gates.
The guards raised their weapons one after another, but these monsters seemed unaware of them, or perhaps there were things in the underground passage of the city gate that attracted these monsters more than them.
The exact same rhythm as last time also appeared again.
The 1-2 level monsters rushed madly into the tunnel, rushed into the furnace, and were then disintegrated by the golden lightning current and red evil here.
Xia Libo and some researchers were recording some data and doing their respective jobs, although because two city gates were opened, the strange traffic tonight was much larger than before.
The power of the furnace was too strong, and these monsters couldn't even get to the position in front of the furnace guide circle.
In terms of expressiveness, although there are more weird things tonight, the expressiveness seems to be not as good as the previous time.
"The weirdness seems to have weakened a little." A researcher asked Xia Libo.
The yellow-green ball in front of Xia Libo flashed for a while, and then he said:
“Is there a possibility that it’s not that the monster has become weaker, but that the strength of the furnace has increased?”
"Um, the production of the furnace..." The researcher looked at the core of the furnace, and he became a little uncertain about Xia Libo's statement.
Level 1-2 monsters pose almost no threat to the furnace until the first level 3 monster appears.
A very rare level 3 Death Walker, ghost species.
The Death Walker is a ghost species that is almost a pure spirit. Although the Golden Thunder and the Red Evil have had some effects on it, these effects are not enough to stop it from flying towards the core of the furnace.
Until it gradually approached the furnace, black flames suddenly rose out of nowhere and instantly wrapped around the body of the Level 3 Death Walker.
The ghost species continued to scream its soul, but was unable to escape the black flame that appeared out of nowhere.
Its performance was even worse than the last level 3 deformed species. It fell from the air before even touching the core room of the furnace.
Once on the ground, the ghost species' performance was even worse.
Golden thunder, red evil and black flame, the three forces are constantly entangled and decomposed.
Soon, this level 3 ghost species that was enough to give law enforcers a headache disappeared in front of everyone.
"Boss Xia, what is that black flame? It wasn't there last time, was it?"
Xia Libo was silent for a moment. He certainly knew what that black flame was. It was the power that Xu Le gained when he was promoted.
Xu Le seemed to have demonstrated this ability once or twice in the past, but it was always fleeting and more like borrowing.
But now, this power has become an ability that truly belongs to him.
The furnace was indeed one with him.
All the abilities of the furnace are a reflection of Xu Le’s personal abilities.
The only thing that made Xia Libo a little curious was that the previous level 3 monster suddenly died after rushing into the core room of the furnace. That kind of power should have nothing to do with the black flame in front of him.
At the time, it looked like there were tentacle-like things moving around inside the monster's body.
What is that? Is it also Xu Le's power? Can it be reused
Xia Libo was very curious, but this kind of thing was every sorcerer's private secret, and he couldn't ask Xu Le.
"Forget it, just do your own thing. There are quite a lot of monsters right now. It looks like tonight will be a good harvest day."
"yes."
With Xia Libo's reminder, everyone returned to their work.
Wild monsters are not endless. The birth of monsters requires mental energy, ancient sound energy, and moon spirit.
Unless they use the dark rules to kill monsters, after a few days of killing like this, the number of monsters in the area outside Gate No. 3 will decrease significantly.
Of course, Xu Le has already thought of some cool solutions.
For example, you can put a mental energy trapping device on the car, then drive around outside to attract monsters from other areas.
But doing so would put the driver at higher risk.
Xia Libo turned his attention to the core of the furnace. Perhaps Xu Le, who had been staying at the core, was having a hard time
…
While Xia Libo was worried about Xu Le, Xu Le was lying on the floor of the furnace core, studying a technique he had seen before.
The Trinity Principle of Warlock Luo, the arcane secret technique - Gate of Transcendence.
As for what he is doing by studying the Gate of Crossing Boundaries
Nonsense, of course it was to touch her legs, he was almost suffocating.
If he stays at his job, he will only be exploited by the capitalists, although now he is exploiting himself.
But Xu Le still felt that he couldn’t stay here. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and was about to explode!
"Are you studying the secret techniques?" Yan Luo asked.
"Do you understand this?" Xu Le's face was full of hope.
“I don’t understand it, but I’m blown away.”
"Depend on."
Seeing that Yan Luo didn't understand, Xu Le gave up the idea of paying attention to him. At this time, because the Soul Tree absorbed Gu Yinduo's energy, the whole room was filled with blue energy.
The spiritual energy in Xu Le's body was almost overflowing. In this state, he was extremely polluting.
But fortunately, no one here is afraid of him causing pollution.
"Everything is based on the principle of three. To go beyond the three is to go beyond the rules. I should not use excellence as an imitation. The stability of the Trinity Principle is not suitable for trying to change.
Demon Child - Ordinary Disguise: Spell - Crossing the Gate. "
Following a blue space fluctuation, a "door" appeared in the core of the furnace.
…
