Facing two shameless fellows, with Li Shimin, who couldn't wait to watch the show, Li Jiuye, with great straightforwardness, chose to back down.
Well, I'm a cultured person, I won't stoop to the level of these uncouth fellows!
A cultured person should win people over with virtue!
At this moment, one mouth would definitely lose to three mouths. You guys just wait for me, Old Ji!
His face turned from green to red, his expression changing back and forth. After a moment, he stomped his foot fiercely and pointed at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
Then he left without saying a word.
Although he didn't speak, his meaning was very clear.
If you have the guts, don't leave after school!
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde didn't take his threat to heart. With two against one, who would be afraid?
They cupped their hands towards Li Shimin and said, "Supreme Emperor, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."
"This wound still hurts quite a bit. We'll go find Old Sun to get some medicinal wine to rub on it."
Li Shimin waved his hand casually, indicating they could do as they pleased.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, who had the time to bicker with them?
After Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde left, he walked to the door and glanced around. After confirming there were no idle bystanders, he casually closed the door.
Then he returned to the table, took out that signed document, and with a triumphant look, found a pen and started writing and drawing on it.
For example...
Ten Emperor-class spacecraft identical to the specifications of the White Emperor...
Fang Er already knew the hull numbers for the five Emperor-class motherships, and it was just as Fang Er had previously thought. He didn't voice any opinions about this.
Because Li Shimin knew very well that even if he had opinions, the outcome for such matters would be just three words.
No...
Merit...
Of...
The five motherships were hovering in the sky outside. Wang Xuance led people with paint to brush the hull numbers onto the ships.
Yellow, Green, Red, White, Black!
Not only were the ship names being painted, but the entire hull of the motherships were to be painted with the colors of their corresponding Emperor names. This was a massive undertaking.
It is said that time flies when you are in seclusion, and a thousand years have passed in the mortal world.
Time passed by day by day without anyone noticing.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a year had gone by.
On this day, Yuan Tianrang came running over excitedly.
"Young friend, quickly, that mothership, I have successfully modified one of them!"
Fang Er was overjoyed upon hearing this. Installing the array tower on the mothership meant that it now possessed the ability of space jumps.
Even light speed was not fast enough compared to space jumps.
The first ship to be modified was the Qingdi Hao mothership.
At this moment, the Qingdi Hao was hovering in the wilderness outside Lor City.
The massive spaceship was parked there, like a small mountain.
When Fang Er led everyone there, all the finishing touches had been completed.
The Qingdi Hao mothership, which originally looked like a mobile castle, now had something resembling a sea ship's ram at its front.
This was precisely the array tower that Yuan Tiangang had painstakingly installed.
This array tower was a hundred times larger than the one used for the experiment!
The purpose was to have enough power to open a wormhole large enough to accommodate the massive body of the mothership.
"Have you tried it?"
Seeing Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin enter the mothership through the hatch, Fang Er turned to Yuan Tiangang and asked.
Yuan Tiangang scratched his head and replied somewhat awkwardly.
"Not yet."
"Also, there's one more thing you need to take care of."
Fang Er asked instinctively, "What is it?"
Yuan Tiangang's old face turned red, and like a young girl on a blind date, he became bashful.
"The power of this array tower is too great. To operate it normally, one or two Tang Stones are not enough."
"Therefore, I have modified the formation."
"Now, to activate the formation, ninety-nine Tang Stones, eighty-one in total, need to be installed on the array base in the eight trigrams arrangement."
Fang Er: ...
Eighty-one pieces!
Damn it!
Where am I supposed to get so many Tang Stones from!
These past six months were calculated according to Atari Planet's timekeeping. If converted to Earth time, over a year had passed!
But even with such a long period, fewer than fifty Tang Stones had been delivered from Nuosu Star!
Moreover, for those less than fifty Tang Stones, that island had almost been dug hollowed out!
Even the magma pool inside the volcano had been pumped out by the mad scientists in the research institute using specially made high-pressure pumps made of Taijin!
And after the magma cooled, they broke them open one by one, searching for any possible Tang Stones within.
Therefore, Fang Er's current inventory of eighty-one Tang Stones was simply not enough!
Suddenly, he thought of something!
Something he had long overlooked!
When he had captured Atari Planet, he had asked the high-ranking officials of the Luomo tribe for the mining rights to a planet!
And that planet also produced Tang Stones!
The Tang Stone embedded in the altar of the Bright Sword world came from this planet!
Chiyan Star!
This was a small planet about 500,000 kilometers away from Atari Planet!
Thinking of this, he smacked his forehead.
Damn!
How could I almost forget such a big thing!
