Chapter 1762 - 1765: Terrifying, Truly Terrifying
Liu Funing looked at the trio with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Even though they were like a support group, each of them had their own little thoughts.
For example, these three didn’t quite have a high opinion of him, thinking that he, as a dignified City Lord, often hung around those little kids and liked researching the things those kids had which they didn’t value.
However, today, he would let these three know that he was the one with foresight.
So, he slowly took out a mobile phone from his pocket.
"This is..." Qi Jiatong furrowed his brow, "It’s square too. Is it the better soap you mentioned earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Funing felt furious enough to curse.
Is this guy an idiot?
Was the material from earlier the same as this one?
But just as he thought of this, he suddenly felt deflated.
Alright, these are all mundane things, they seem almost the same in their eyes.
Holding a soap made from ordinary iron, if it could work effectively, they might be able to use it too.
However, Hu Nanshan thought for a moment and spoke up, "Is this...the thing Lord Lu often uses?"
Lu Xiaobu had stayed with Hu Nanshan the longest, and they had interacted the most, so he remembered the thing.
"That’s right!" Liu Funing immediately showed an appreciative look, "This is called a mobile phone, and it’s something the advisory group asked me to introduce to everyone."
"Hand chicken? Chicken? Food?" He Quwu asked aloud.
Liu Funing felt the urge to curse again!
Forget it, forget it, don’t get mad at these ignorant people.
So, he got straight to the point, "This thing isn’t for eating or washing, it’s for communication, and it’s similar to the Communication Jade Token."
"Communicating? Like the Communication Jade Token?" Hu Nanshan frowned, "What’s the use?"
Of course, he knew about the Communication Jade Token; it was said to enable remote communication, but this remote was really for ordinary people.
That little distance, they might as well shout directly, and at the Nascent Soul Stage, they could convey sound into the entrance.
So, the Communication Jade Token was always a tasteless thing that was hard to justify discarding.
"I just said the effect is similar, but the distance is vastly different!" Liu Funing immediately stated, "The ordinary Communication Jade Token only covers twenty or thirty li at most, while the mobile phone can reach beyond a thousand li in the blink of an eye!"
"What?! A thousand li?!" Hu Nanshan was shocked, Qi Jiatong was shocked, and He Quwu was shocked!
"For now, it’s a thousand li!" Liu Funing wasn’t content with speaking cautiously, "I investigated thoroughly. As long as that thing called a signal tower, oh, the pointy thing that Old He worked on, once that thing is wherever, the message can transmit there!"
"So amazing?!" Hu Nanshan was a bit unconvinced.
This thing didn’t have any Spiritual Energy, yet it could communicate?
"Let’s give it a try." Liu Funing smiled slightly, proudly opened the mobile phone, and made a call using the method taught by the advisory group.
The other end was a Nascent Soul from Hengqin City.
Although technically, as someone in the Golden Core Stage, he shouldn’t contact the other party, but since they were all Lord Lu’s people, naturally there weren’t those usual external rules.
Listening to the sounds from the phone, the three of them looked and listened in bewilderment.
Deep down, they still didn’t quite believe it.
However, in the next moment...
"Hello? Liu Funing?"
The voice from the mobile phone was clearly audible.
Moreover, the other party’s voice seemed to be filled with excitement and disbelief as well.
Hearing the voice from the phone, Hu Nanshan and the other two almost jumped out of their skins in shock, "What kind of Magic Treasure is this?"
"Sorry for disturbing you, Senior Li!" Liu Funing first ignored the three of them and spoke to the Nascent Soul with the surname Li: "I was ordered by Lord Lu to explain the mobile phone to Hu Nanshan and the others, so..."
The Nascent Soul with the surname Li didn’t get angry upon hearing this matter, instead, a burst of laughter came through, "I understand, I understand, when I told a few fellow Daoists about this mobile phone, they were just as skeptical!"
"Thanks, Senior Li, for your generosity!" Liu Funing quickly said.
Then the two chatted a bit more and hung up the phone.
Only then did Liu Funing look at the three of them with a face full of pride, "How was it?"
"That voice just now...was Senior Li?" Qi Jiatong’s mouth felt a bit dry.
They had also met this Senior Li before, so they naturally recognized his voice.
As for how Liu Funing could be making this up, they absolutely didn’t believe it since they were all working for Lord Lu. With the other party being a Nascent Soul and the mobile phone being made by the advisory group, there was no need for Liu Funing to do so!
"Of course it’s Senior Li!" Liu Funing was even more proud.
This time not only was he telling these bumpkins about these things, but through this phone call, he was also able to build some rapport with Senior Li and might even get some pointers.
A win-win situation, oh, no, even doing a good deed for Lord Lu, a win-win-win situation!
"Is it really that magical?" Hu Nanshan’s eyes were glued to the mobile phone, already showing signs of zoning out.
He still couldn’t quite comprehend why this little thing could instantly contact Senior Li!
Qi Jiatong and Hu Nanshan hadn’t yet reacted, but He Quwu suddenly thought of something else and immediately looked at Liu Funing, "Old Liu, you said, this thing can make calls, but it also needs that signal tower?"
"Yes, I don’t know how that thing works exactly, but that’s what the advisory group said." Liu Funing gave a detailed answer.
Before he said these things, the trio might have criticized him in their hearts for shamelessly cozying up to a bunch of juniors.
But saying it now elicited a different feeling.
Look at who is closest to the advisory group? Who is closest to Lord Lu?
Yet.
Subsequently.
He saw that He Quwu slowly revealed a smug look on his face: "Oh, so that’s how it is! Very good, very good! Knowing that I can earn merit for Lord Lu, I’m relieved!"
This remark left Liu Funing feeling as if he had eaten a fly!
Damn!
So he was thinking about this...what was it called again, oh right, thinking about this bragging session!
This guy is really annoying; doesn’t he understand that he’s currently bragging himself?
To interrupt someone’s bragging, how hateful, how hateful!
Especially when seeing Hu Nanshan, who also works as a laborer, looking at He Quwu with envy, he found He Quwu even more detestable.
However, he had nothing to say, he could only secretly grind his teeth—just wait, soon you won’t know how to use it, and you’ll be stuck staring at it. You think you can earn merit, huh? Go ahead and research with your signal tower!
Everyone pondered their little thoughts for a while, but soon they started murmuring and discussing again.
They all have been City Lords, especially relying mostly on trade and communication in Gourd Waist, they well understood what the speed and distance of the message transmission represented!
So, the more they discussed, the more they felt the advisory group and Lord Lu were unfathomable!
Terrifying, truly terrifying!
