Chapter 452 A Talent That Was Almost Overlooked
"Alright, alright! Stop flattering me! I'm not falling for that!" Li Muyang said, but you could tell from his smile that he was still quite pleased with himself. It wasn't easy to get this guy to say nice things!
Xuan Yue grinned: "This isn't flattery! Let my eldest brother and second sister be the judges. I've always hated flattery the most! I always speak my mind!"
I have to say, this guy's words are actually quite pleasant to hear! Li Muyang's mouth was practically splitting open to his ears; he doesn't even need makeup to cosplay the Ugly Duckling.
No wonder ancient emperors liked ministers who knew how to flatter, especially someone like Xuan Yue who usually spoke his mind and even liked to criticize and insult people from time to time. Such people don't usually flatter, but when they do, it's really pleasant to hear!
"Ahem! Let's get back to the main topic! Let's talk about what's next." Li Muyang finally snapped out of his reverie and coughed lightly, saying, "Next up is the Brain Domain Game Machine and the Bureau's matter. Are you planning to go over there and join the fun?"
Xuan Yue shrugged: "Boss, you can place the order!"
Li Muyang clapped his hands: "Alright! I guess you're not interested in business matters, nor are they suitable for you. How about this, go expand the territory for our Administration Bureau! How about I give you a world mission to do? I can take your mercenary group with me and let you see the vastness of the myriad worlds!"
“Alright.” Xuan Yue nodded, then, remembering something, asked, “What about Karenkaya?”
Li Muyang paused for a moment.
Seeing Li Muyang's reaction, Xuan Yue opened her mouth speechlessly, covered her face, and complained, "You...you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Li Muyang chuckled and scratched his head: "I...I almost forgot about that...cough cough!"
"Oh, never mind, it's alright, there's no rush! I'll definitely let you know in advance when I need you! Besides, my cultivation level has improved further, so the danger has been greatly reduced!"
If before his breakthrough, Li Muyang was 80% confident in resolving the cause and effect of Kalenkaya, then now... it's 99%!
The remaining 0.1... isn't that a bit too cautious? We should leave some leeway! We can't go too far.
Seeing that Li Muyang had said so, Xuan Yue could only ignore the matter. Fine, you're the boss, so you decide. Anyway, now that his older brother and sister are here, there will be two more people to share the burden, so he won't be the only one getting beaten up.
After finalizing the next steps with Xuan Yue, Li Muyang enthusiastically strolled around the cruise ship.
Besides the people from Xuan Yue, everyone from Li Muyang's small world was also on the cruise ship, especially those who had never seen this thing before.
"...I still don't quite understand how this steel thing floats on the sea surface," Jingni asked with a curious expression.
Hmm, surely no one has forgotten her, right? They haven't forgotten that there was still someone like her in this little world, have they?
As an ancient person, even though it's a fictional historical world like Qin's Moon, and even in that world, science isn't very important, Jing Ni had never seen such a huge steel behemoth sailing on the sea.
Even the Gongshu family doesn't have this ability!
Li Muyang was a little stumped when he heard this question. It wasn't that he didn't know how to explain it, but rather that he didn't know how to explain it in a way that Jingni could understand.
"Well... to put it simply, steel ships have successfully achieved floating in water by increasing their displacement and utilizing the balance between buoyancy and gravity," Li Muyang said leisurely. He felt that this answer was ambiguous, but for a more detailed explanation, he would have to use physics calculation formulas.
Jingni doesn't understand any of this stuff! If he's going to explain, he has to start from the beginning!
However, Jingni seemed very interested, and since Li Muyang had nothing else to do anyway, he started from the beginning for her, from Archimedes' principle to the definition of density, then to water displacement, and all the way to the role of hollow structures.
Finally, I recommend that Jingni find relevant books and knowledge. Li Muyang is simply too busy to explain today, but he may not have time next time.
Jing Ni had no objections. She had always felt that she was not very useful under Li Muyang in the small world and wanted to find an opportunity to strengthen herself. In terms of cultivation, she was still in the foundation-building stage. Even so, Jing Ni knew that it would be difficult for her to increase her strength rapidly in the future.
So, improving oneself in other ways is also a viable option! For example, in terms of learning.
It can only be said that Li Muyang underestimated Jing Ni's learning ability. She is the mother of Empress Lü, who is famous in history! Of course, the two may not be related, but in the original plot, Tian Yan's talent was indeed inherited from Jing Ni and Lord Xinling!
I almost forgot, Jingni's biological father is Lü Buwei.
Neither of them are ordinary people, so how could Jing Ni be mediocre? What? Can talent be inherited across generations? It's not impossible... but it seems that Jing Ni is much more capable than Li Muyang imagined!
It can only be said that the Luo Wang organization wasted Jing Ni's talents, and Li Muyang was unaware that Jing Ni possessed an almost photographic memory! Her learning ability was also outstanding!
Please, how could Jing Ni, who could move a young master like Lord Xinling to such an extent, be just a pretty face? You know, their acquaintance began with a piece of music! And that was something Jing Ni had only learned at the last minute to carry out her mission.
Jing Ni's last-minute cramming for the zither made her stir Lord Xinling's heart. Perhaps it was also because Lord Xinling was willing to indulge in debauchery at the time to lower King Wei's guard, but later Jing Ni definitely stirred Wei Wuji's heart!
The fact that Jing Ni could develop such a strong sense of independence under the almost brainwashing training of the Luo Wang organization also demonstrates her talent!
Therefore, all Jing Ni lacks is a learning opportunity and time! Even during this time in the small world, everyone treated Jing Ni as a martial artist and never expected that she was also a highly intelligent person!
Smart people are popular everywhere!
Since Li Muyang only recommended a few books on basic physics to Jing Ni, he thought it would take her a long time to fully understand them. Unexpectedly, as soon as the cruise ship returned to the Great Xia Sea, Jing Ni came over with the books.
Under Li Muyang's astonished gaze, after randomly testing a few knowledge points, he discovered that Jing Ni had really mastered it!
Wow! He's a hidden academic genius?!
Jingni humbly stated that she still had the help of the jade disc that transmitted modern basic knowledge.
Well, this thing is like teaching an ancient person how to survive in modern times. It's common sense. Li Muyang gave it to Bai Yuxiu and the others, and they all grasped it to the point where they could barely use it.
Unexpectedly, Jing Ni was the only one who had studied it seriously and carefully!
Therefore, she was exceptionally quick to grasp this knowledge when she first encountered it! She has strong learning and execution abilities!
This finally caught Li Muyang's attention! Naturally, he wouldn't just give her a cursory attempt anymore! So he specially devised a learning plan for Jingni, first teaching her the basics, and then letting her decide for herself which aspect she preferred.
Besides her strong learning ability, Jing Ni's greatest strength lies in her willingness to learn and improve herself after leaving the Luo Wang organization. Furthermore, switching to a new training system has allowed her to develop in various aspects, making her learning ability even stronger than before!
Li Muyang was really looking forward to seeing what surprises she would bring him in the future!
Once Jing Ni was focused on her studies, she completely ignored Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er! "Don't disturb me while I'm studying!" The two girls were speechless! Such a big change! They were both a little unaccustomed to it! Was this still the Jing Ni they knew?
As the old saying goes, a fine horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye for talent is rare.
The most important thing to her is that she can see Jing Ni's talent and support her, because Jing Ni left Luo Wang to realize her own life value, not for others or anything else, but for herself!
The matter of Jingni was put aside for the time being, because they had already returned to the port of Daxia, and Li Muyang had been summoned by Huang Boren to oversee the situation.
Well, at least the person has been brought back, so at least we can't let Lu Jin and Li Muxuan fight at the port! If they really do fight, Huang Boren hopes Li Muyang can help mediate!
Although they had invited Mu You from Jianghu Xiaozhan and Na Ruhu from Xiguge, two of the Ten Elders, to watch over the place, whether the two of them could hold back Lu Jin and Li Muxuan was another matter entirely! Even Na Ruhu was one of the "Two Heroes" who were second only to the "One Supreme".
Who can blame them when these two old men are no pushovers? Lu Jin and Li Muxuan are not only powerful, but also incredibly stubborn!
Lu Jin could still be reasonable. The title "Flawless in Life" given to him was no joke. As for Li Muxuan's reputation... anyone from the older generation who knew him knew what kind of person he was.
Just as Li Muyang said earlier, Zhang Xuanlin told Li Muxuan to die outside and never come back, because he was really afraid of this stubborn guy. He would become even more stubborn as he got older. If he came back and angered Lu Jin to death, then the Sanyi Sect would really be wiped out, leaving only Lu Lin as a descendant.
If Lu Jin were to kill Li Muxuan... Zhang Xuanlin could only say that he deserved it, even though he didn't want Li Muxuan to die.
When Li Muyang disembarked from his cruise ship and arrived at the port, he saw Lu Jin and Li Muxuan staring blankly at each other, accompanied by a group of people. The group of people were all on high alert, ready to break up the fight and pull people apart at any time.
Just as Li Muyang was about to step forward and break the silence, he heard the sound of a car engine from the side. A low-speed electric car rushed over at a speed unbecoming of its class, then drifted to a stop right next to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan. The car door opened and two people got out.
It was Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo.
"Oh? The charlatan and the cook are here too?" Li Muxuan immediately laughed and teased, "What a grand welcome! I'm flattered!"
Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo both gave him a cold shoulder: "Are you tired of living? Don't you fear Old Lu will kill you?" x2
They spoke in unison, as if they had rehearsed it.
Lu Jin rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Gentlemen, am I really that unreasonable?"
"We're confident in everything else, but this is the difficult part," Hong Anguo sighed leisurely. "However, if you really want to kill this bastard, we'll absolutely support you! I'm not kidding!"
