Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1234 Surrender
"Since you can't help my brother, I have no choice but to eat you and then find a way to restore him."

This was Shangluo’s last words before he started eating.

"So, you just ate him?" Phaethon stood there in astonishment.

It was indeed only five seconds for Shangluo to get out, a full five seconds.

Nothing happened in the first four seconds. In the fourth second, the Spear of the Sun God was taken away from her hand. Before the end of the fifth second, Shangluo walked out of the shrine. Phaethon even went up to help.

"What about me! Shangluo, what about me!"

How do you get him out?

"Wait a minute." Shangluo turned his back, retched a few times, and vomited out two balls of fur. The balls of fur rolled on the ground and turned into two rabbits.

[How about your cosplay as Bo Yikao? You spit out the rabbit after eating it, right? ]

"Then what can I do? This is the only way."

He picked up the rabbits one in each hand, and he was used to pulling the rabbits' ears - but he felt that something was wrong, so he took the rabbits back one in each hand.

He stuffed the rabbit into Zhu Xianxun's hands.

“???” Zhu Xianxun took the two rabbits with a confused look on his face.

He and the rabbit exchanged glances and saw a familiar look. It was him.

"Shangluo! Thank you! You actually saved me! Although it's a bit hard to hold on after becoming Bo Yikao, but ah! I'm alive!"

"It's just that I'm still one step away from changing back."

"It's okay! It's easy as long as we rescue them! I say, don't you want to thank Shangluo?"

One of the two "rabbits" was dozing with his eyes closed, while the other was in a daze with his eyes open. They obviously recognized Shangluo, but they didn't seem very satisfied with Shangluo's "rescue". It seemed that they had had a lot of fun playing the creative mode in there before.

"Okay. Thank you on my behalf."

"By the way, how did you decide who stayed and who left?"

"No decision has been made. In fact, neither of them wanted to go out, and I was the only one who was willing to go out. After all, the conditions offered by Xu Fu were really good. We were all very tired. As long as one of us could go out and fulfill our responsibilities, the other two would still want to stay. I didn't want to leave them behind, and I tried, but I finally accepted Xu Fu's proposal - to take what I wanted, leave there forever, and leave them behind. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Fu and I murdered them together."

[Ah, now that I think about it, he did have this sign before. This person was very depressed most of the time. But the remaining one seems to be very positive. This seems to be the side of him that is most willing to face the world. It's not bad, after all, it's his own choice.]

"Shangluo! I don't know how to thank you! When I go back and publish the research results of this pill, I will give you the title of second author. Oh no, I will give you the title of co-first author!"

"Oh my! How can this be so embarrassing!"

"This is what you deserve. If you rescue me, I will give you my sister's salary voucher! She has 5 taels of salary voucher!"

"Wait a minute." Phaethon asked, "I won't ask why it's the princess. What is a lottery?"

"It is a kind of bond we use to settle the royal family." Zhu Xianxi replied, "You can receive 3% interest on the face value every year, and you can inherit it."

"So, why is it your sister's?"

"Because I don't have any. When I become an emperor, I no longer have the Lu Coupon. I can't give my sister to him, my sister is not an object. Of course, if I give the Lu Coupon to Shangluo, the two of them should be able to see each other more often."

[Ah! He must be taking the dowry in advance to keep you in check! How come his aggression has suddenly become so strong!] "Maybe this is his ambition that has been balanced out by his own 'laziness'."

[Whose ambition is to arrange a marriage? 】

"Ahem," Phaethon said, "Let me correct you. The so-called 'matchmaking' is to forcibly bring together a man and a woman who have no emotional foundation. These two do have some emotional foundation."

"What kind of emotional basis is this?" Shang Luo wondered. "She keeps me as a lucky charm. Is this called emotional basis? Then can it also be understood that we have business dealings, a relationship of raising and being raised?"

In short, he rejected Zhu Xianxin's proposal:
"Forget it. Zhu Ling's certificate is hers, how can I take it?"

"Oh, that's a pity." Zhu Xianxi shook his head. "Then I'll give you this. Just consider it as a deposit."

[What is a deposit? He wants to reserve you, right?]

Shangluo also discovered that Zhu Xianxin's current "aggressiveness" was not of the same order of magnitude as before. If he didn't accept the deposit, he might come up with other ideas.

"Okay, I'll take it. But what is this key to?"

"You'll know when you get there - so, what are you going to do next?"

"As expected, the Jindan stage is the Jindan stage after all, and it is really difficult to break through. I will find a way. I also want to study it."

"This is a very valuable research material. After all, so far, no real person in the Jindan stage would take out his own 'Jindan' for others to study. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. If you need assistance or research funds, just let me know."

"Eh? Brother, do you have money now?"

“I’ve always had money.”

"But you used to say that when it comes to spending money..."

"Ah, that's because of a different mindset. In the past, I was frugal because I thought I might need the money at a critical moment. Now I think that money should be spent when it's needed, because it's an investment. So if your research requires money, materials, or perhaps a place, just tell me directly."

"It shouldn't take long. At worst, I can split the golden elixir or refine it in other ways. But the harder it is to manipulate the golden elixir, the more powerful it is."

"I suggest you meet with Master Lan and have a good talk about what the Golden Core Stage is - if you can successfully refine it, then the first step to the Heavenly Court will be secured. By then, except for Master Lan who can fight against you, you will be completely above everyone else in the mortal world. The Heavenly Masters above you are extraordinary, so that means you are almost invincible."

"So what about you here, brother?"

"As long as you rescue me, there will always be a way. My progress has been very successful, and now I have also reached the foundation building stage. The two people next to you who only have the appearance of rabbits have not lost their sanity at all, and their strength is also at the foundation building stage. I can divide my work between the two of them - ahaha, now there are three of me working, and there will be no chaos caused by the 'three suns in the sky'. This is simply the best result! Better than the two of them recovering to human form, and even better than me being three in one!"

"Well, in that case, Xu Fu's body is really full of treasures."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yuanshan next to him suddenly picked up the phone. He spoke a few words hurriedly to the person on the other end of the phone, then turned around and said to the two of them:
"Your Majesty, and the Heavenly Lord, if something goes wrong, do you remember that Xu Fu said before that he assembled a fleet in Qianye to prevent the enemy from crossing the sea?"

"Is this true?" Zhu Xianxun asked.

"That's true." Shang Luo nodded, "Xu Fu told me this - the enemy is coming?"

"Yes." Fu Yuanshan nodded, "Our reconnaissance plane discovered that a large fleet is heading towards Edo. It seems that they appeared because Xu Fu's formation disappeared completely. It is also possible that they were trapped by the formation before, and came out to continue to execute orders after Xu Fu disappeared."

"What is that? A large fleet? How many warships are there?"

"They're not warships. There aren't any warships. They seem to be cargo ships. There are about 20 of them, and they all look exactly the same. They're airtight like a square box. Our scouts said the air around them smells like baking bread, as if they were baking bread while sailing."
