Chapter 119 Tsk, no manners at all.
"Who the hell is this guy?" Wang Ye frowned and slapped his forehead, trying to search his mind for any clues about the man in black robes. However, he had no memory of this person, which made him very confused.
Li Qiankun gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler tightly, his eyes flickering with vigilance and suspicion. He whispered, "I don't know either. But he seems to be coming for me."
"He's coming for you?" Wang Ye heard this and his eyes fell on the Xuanzhong ruler in Li Qiankun's hand. "Could it be that he's after this Xuanzhong ruler?"
Li Qiankun's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this. He had indeed suspected the black-robed man's motives, but he had never thought it was because of the Xuanzhong Ruler. However, when Wang Ye raised this speculation, he felt it was very possible. After all, the Xuanzhong Ruler was not a product of this world, and the power and mystery it contained were enough to attract anyone's covetousness.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Li Qiankun's mind. It was the voice of the system, explaining to Li Qiankun the possible reason for the appearance of the black-robed man.
"It's normal for people to be interested in you. First, the Xuanzhong Ruler isn't a product of this world. Second, the instruments you crafted with the Divine Machine are all top-tier treasures. The energy fluctuations emitted by these instruments will be of interest to those with ulterior motives. The king before you isn't the only one who can deduce divination and observe the stars at night. The world of extraordinary people is full of extraordinary talents."
Li Qiankun nodded slightly after listening to the system's explanation. He hadn't expected the instruments he'd created to attract such attention. However, when he thought about the possibility of not being able to use them freely, he couldn't help but feel helpless and dissatisfied.
"So, I can't use anything I made with the Divine Machine?" Li Qiankun complained.
Upon hearing this, the system's tone was filled with helplessness and sarcasm: "They can't beat you, so what's the point of worrying about you? You're just stupid."
Wang Ye saw Li Qiankun suddenly lost in thought, feeling somewhat bewildered. He gently patted Li Qiankun's shoulder, trying to bring him back to his senses. However, Li Qiankun seemed to be lost in his own thoughts and didn't notice Wang Ye's actions.
Wang Ye shook his head helplessly and decided to make some noise to wake Li Qiankun. He coughed softly and said, "Brother Qiankun, are you okay? Are you still thinking about the man in black robe?"
Li Qiankun finally came back to his senses. He looked at Wang Ye, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Brother Wang. I was just thinking about something."
"Oh, Brother Wang." Li Qiankun suddenly remembered something. "Don't worry about this matter. It's nothing. The world is so big and full of wonders. We will always encounter some strange people and things. Go back and have a good rest. You don't have to worry about my affairs."
Wang Ye was still a little worried after hearing this, but he couldn't say anything. He nodded and prepared to leave. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Li Qiankun with a look of hesitation and confusion.
"Brother Qiankun, I always feel like I have forgotten something." Wang Ye scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Li Qiankun's heart moved. He knew what Wang Ye was talking about. He smiled and reminded him, "Brother Wang, please stop spying on me in the inner scene. It's not good for you."
Wang Ye's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He smiled awkwardly and nodded, "I understand, Brother Qiankun. I'll pay attention."
After saying that, Wang Ye left Li Qiankun's villa. Li Qiankun stood there, watching his back gradually disappear into the distance.
When Wang Ye's figure completely disappeared into the night, Li Qiankun turned around and began to clean up the traces of the battle in the yard. While cleaning up the traces of the battle, he thought about how to get more benefits and help from the system.
"System, I think I need to get some benefits from you." Li Qiankun said silently in his heart.
However, the system ruthlessly rejected him: "Want to get it for free? Daydreaming. However, you can get rewards by completing some tasks."
Li Qiankun rolled his eyes upon hearing this. He grumbled, "Isn't your system too stingy? Can't you just give me some benefits?"
The system ignored him, as if it had vanished. Li Qiankun shook his head helplessly, knowing that bargaining with the system was futile. So, he began to think about how to complete the tasks given by the system to obtain the rewards.
At this moment, Li Qiankun's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and saw the name "Zhang Chulan" on it. Li Qiankun's heart moved slightly, and he was a little curious about why this kid came to him again.
He answered the phone, only to hear Zhang Chulan say on the other end: "Brother Qiankun, do you have time? I have something to ask you."
Li Qiankun was a little confused when he heard this, but he agreed readily: "If you have time, Chu Lan, let's meet at my villa tomorrow. I also want to hear what you want to talk to me about."
Zhang Chulan agreed immediately after hearing this. After the two agreed on a time and place to meet, they hung up the phone.
After Li Qiankun hung up the phone, he began to think about Zhang Chulan's possible reasons for calling him. He knew that while Zhang Chulan might be a bit cunning and slippery, he wasn't someone who would act without purpose. Since he was calling him, he must have something important to discuss.
Thinking of this, Li Qiankun decided not to worry about the system for now, but to focus on the upcoming meeting with Zhang Chulan. He turned back to the villa and began to prepare for the meeting with Zhang Chulan.
However, while he was busy, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly stopped what he was doing, his eyes flashing with determination.
"System, I think I need to solve the points problem first." Li Qiankun said silently in his heart. He knew that in order to obtain more benefits and assistance from the system, he must have enough points to redeem. And what he lacked most now was points.
Thinking of this, Li Qiankun decided to go to the mall to look for some materials that could be used to refine the Life-Returning Pill. He knew that this kind of pill was very precious in the alien world and could provide him with a large amount of points.
He opened the system's shopping mall interface and began browsing the prices and uses of various materials. However, when he saw the high prices, he couldn't help but feel powerless. He knew that his current points were far from enough to redeem these materials.
"Looks like I need to find a way to earn more points," Li Qiankun muttered to himself. He decided to write down the names and uses of these materials first, and then find a way to find them.
Just then, his phone rang again. He glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. Li Qiankun's heart moved slightly, and he was a little curious about who the owner of this number could be.
He answered the phone, only to hear a deep and mysterious voice on the other end: "Li Qiankun? I know you possess the secret of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. If you want to protect your life and the secret, do as I say."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun couldn't help but feel a little nervous, as he was also being threatened.
He didn't expect that the man in black robe actually had accomplices, and would actually take the initiative to find him.
Li Qiankun pretended to be nervous and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed very satisfied with Li Qiankun's reaction. He whispered, "It's very simple. As long as you hand over the ruler and the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to me, I can guarantee your safety. Otherwise, you and your family and friends will suffer a devastating disaster."
Hearing this, Li Qiankun pretended to be afraid and his voice trembled slightly: "Ah? Is that true? As long as I give you the things, you will let it go?"
The old man didn't expect Li Qiankun to be so cowardly and immediately began to curse inwardly.
"Damn it! Rumors have been circulating that Li Qiankun is no ordinary person, his strength is hard to fathom, and that almost no one who fights him escapes unscathed. How come things are completely different now? Could it be that the rumors have been exaggerated?"
Seeing no response from the other side for a long time, Li Qiankun asked again: "How should I give the things to you? Do you come to me to get them, or do I go to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other party instantly felt that he had been fooled.
"Boy, you will pay for what you said!!"
The phone was hung up after he finished speaking. Li Qiankun saw that the other party was angry and grumbled.
"Tsk, you have no manners at all. You can't even say goodbye and hang up the phone!"
