Chapter 1734 - 1736: Dismantle One Ship?
Bai Qi was originally still in a complex mood, contemplating whether it would be better to close the entrance to the Demon Realm.
Then he saw Elder Yu walking over.
To be honest, just earlier, when he first saw Elder Yu and heard Lu Xiaobu introduce him as the person in charge this time, he somewhat looked down on him.
There was no helping it. Whether it was from his past years in the Demon Realm or all his experiences later in the Cultivation World, the concept that the strong are revered was deeply ingrained in his mind.
And Elder Yu’s strength was evidently somewhat low!
At this moment, having returned once more, seeing Elder Yu again, he had completely abandoned those thoughts!
"General Bai!" Elder Yu respectfully saluted.
"Please rise!" Bai Qi quickly said.
Elder Yu was taken aback. Why was he being so courteous?
However, he didn’t think much of it: "General Bai, I came to ask about something..."
Elder Yu then opened up and babbled on about his thoughts once again.
Then!
Bai Qi’s expression rapidly changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Incredulous, madness, doubt, self-doubt.
Ultimately, it all turned into a wry smile!
"You guys have gone so far as to be this crazy?" Bai Qi smiled wryly multiple times.
Transforming an entire island as vast as the mainland into a weapon, such an idea, just hearing it is enough to drive anyone mad. But the way it’s expressed doesn’t seem entirely insane, otherwise, Elder Yu wouldn’t have brought it up!
And this fact is precisely the craziest part!
Bai Qi seemed to understand a bit more!
The people from their world possess an innate ambition or perhaps aggression!
In the past, with Martial Arts, everyone’s thoughts and ambitions were focused on Martial Arts or unity.
But later, with the passage sealed, Spiritual Energy vanished, the barren earth and relatively stable order turned their thoughts to different directions.
Conquering the sky, conquering the earth, conquering unseen and untouchable things like air; they even set their sights on outer space.
As a result, it all blossomed into what it is now!
Bai Qi shook his head, clearing the clutter in his mind, and then spoke again: "Whether it’s feasible, I don’t know, but I can offer some suggestions."
Afterward, Bai Qi and Elder Yu began exploring the topic together.
Core, energy transport, materials, arrays, technology, spatial rifts, and so forth.
The two of them were using what they knew to collide with each other, hoping to spark a result.
Regardless of whether this result succeeds or not, this action alone is enough to go down in history!
While Bai Qi was conversing with Elder Yu, Xiang Yu approached Lu Xiaobu, also looking complicated: "Kid, who would’ve thought things have completely changed, huh?"
"Right?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
"Yeah." Xiang Yu sighed: "There was an iron-clad object that could compete with my strength and almost won. It’s truly incredible!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched. He kind of didn’t want to know what this guy had been up to now.
Hopefully, nothing went wrong.
Then Li Bai also came over.
"Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, rap and check it out! Pancake and fruit, get a set, you say eggs, I say want! Yo yo yo!"
Listening to the familiar tone, familiar words, familiar voice, but completely chaotic rapping, Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched as he looked up.
Then!
There he saw none other than Li Bai wearing a hip-hop hat, big toad sunglasses, wide and loose clothing, moving his body up and down, back and forth, muttering words... Li Bai!
"Pfft!"
Lu Xiaobu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Can you imagine the scene before your eyes now?
In childhood, we all made various alterations to the paintings of those poets in language books, making them look like muscular men or refined women, and of course, hip-hop artists!
And now, the Li Bai who was turned into a hip-hop artist appears vividly in front of Lu Xiaobu.
"Elder Taibai, how did you turn out like this?" Lu Xiaobu was both laughing and crying.
The esteemed poet immortal, great poet, has in a blink of an eye become a hip-hop artist?
"Yo yo yo young friend, please don’t call me Li Taibai, my nickname is Cannon, seeing my flamboyant nickname, you know how wild I am!"
Li Bai introduced his new nickname while swaying back and forth with his body.
Lu Xiaobu: "..."
Xiang Yu: "..."
Liang Lan: "..."
Su Luoxue: "..."
They really couldn’t fathom it, it was too chaotic!
Li Bai changing his name to Cannon, bold and outrageous?
You can’t say it doesn’t rhyme!
But only...
"Wow! So cool!" Little Chili said with eyes sparkling.
"Hey, girl! I, Cannon, thank you for your compliment, care to rap together with me? Hehehe!" Upon hearing this, Li Bai’s eyes lit up, finally someone appreciated him.
Everyone: "..."
Very well and strong, he even learned English, and using "girl"!
Lu Xiaobu shook his head with a wry smile and stopped speaking.
Perhaps Li Bai getting into these things isn’t so strange. After all, Tang Dynasty poetry wasn’t purely poetry, it was also songs, they were lyrics too.
Li Bai being seen as a poet is a later societal definition, perhaps if we viewed him by today’s standards, he might just be a rebel, walking on the edge of fashion, a singer at odds with the mainstream.
Thinking this way, Li Bai liking rap and rock-and-roll seems not too peculiar.
People can live however they want, without needing to conform to others’ expectations.
Just as they were wrapping up about Li Bai, another matter arose!
"Officer Yu, Officer Yu!" Someone rushed in hurriedly from outside the passageway speaking.
"What is it? What happened?" Elder Yu was joyfully discussing with Bai Qi.
"Well, it’s about that Zheng He who went out..." At this point, the person swallowed nervously, then wryly said, "He insists on dismantling an aircraft carrier, you say..."
"An aircraft carrier? Being dismantled?..." Elder Yu’s mouth also twitched, then he looked at Lu Xiaobu—what should we do?
Lu Xiaobu felt his temples throbbing.
Is there not a single hassle-free person among them?
Dismantling an aircraft carrier?
How about giving you two model ships instead?
But, after another glance at the swaying Li Bai, he said again: "How about letting him dismantle one?"
Compared to Li Bai’s dramatic transformation, Zheng He just being persistent about ships is much better, surely he just wants to see how such a large ship is made!
"But..." Elder Yu hesitated, this stuff isn’t just for dismantling and playing around with.
Then.
"No need, dismantle, it’s ours, right." Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow with an implied smile.
"Oh!" Elder Yu had an epiphany, then winked: "Then let’s dismantle one! If it’s not enough, there’s more!"
