With the joint efforts of the Literary Church and Zhou Li's United Chamber of Commerce, Jordan began to carry out post-disaster reconstruction in an orderly manner. What many people did not expect was that the Literary Church, which was originally regarded more like a poor scholar in the eyes of the world, was actually capable of participating in post-disaster reconstruction work.
At first, people generally only looked at half of the news about "The Literary Church took over Jordan, and the United Chamber of Commerce of Braves helped rebuild it." That is to say, the post-disaster reconstruction was purely the result of Zhou Li's warm hand covering everything, and the Literary Chamber of Commerce was nothing more than It was just a target set up by Zhou Li.
"There is still some money left."
In the conference room rebuilt after the war, Fei Yuzhen put his silver-framed glasses on his nose, smiled and said to Zhou Li: "The believers of the Literary Church still have some money left. They heard about the stories that happened in Jordan, and they also We learned that He had been here before. So we received quite a lot of money from the two fundraisers we conducted, and we didn’t spend much during these days.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li stopped spinning the pen in his hand. He glanced at Fei Yuzhen strangely, then looked at the order in his hand and asked uncertainly: "Do you have any money left?"
"Um."
Nodding, Feiyu replied: "The reconstruction in the past two months has not cost much money, and I am very grateful to your chamber of commerce for statistics and procurement. Otherwise, just us people may have spent more gold coins."
"This is what we should do, but..."
Looking at the long list of bills in his hand and the total cost of "a total of 629,715 gold coins" at the end, Zhou Li fell into silence for a while. He never imagined that writing could be so profitable in this world.
So damn rich.
Until now, Zhou Li didn't know that the copyright awareness in this world was extremely high. The popularity of the magic circle has made pirates and storytellers almost extinct. Just an adjusted secrecy rune can kill all spoilers. Therefore, as long as a writer in this world has a little bit of fame, wealth will rain down on their heads like raindrops.
You know, in this world, the literary church is the only one that in turn lends money to the commercial church.
"Feiyu, you don't have to be so honest."
Zhou Li felt a little complicated. He looked at Fei Yu and said sincerely: "When you buy some things from Yingnan, you can add some modifying words appropriately. For example, if this thing is not half discounted, tonight the brave will knock you down. Men, it’s best to be alert and active, and it’s better to spend less on things like money.”
"Oh, can it still be like this?"
Feiyu was stunned for a moment. He still overestimated Zhou Li's bottom line. Seeing that Feiyu did not object to his statement, Zhou Li suddenly became energetic and immediately began to spread the animal behavior of "how to use existing advantages to reduce initial costs and accelerate capital expansion" to Feiyu.
But unfortunately, just when he was talking about "manpower is the cheapest product in some cases", a dim blue light interrupted him.
Looking at the blue jellyfish slowly emerging in front of him, Zhou Li made a pause gesture, then stretched out his finger and touched the tentacles of the small jellyfish. After getting the message, he seemed to have expected this situation, and sighed softly. Take a breath.
"Mr. Zhou Li, I'm going to the refugee camp first. If you have any questions or need, please send me a message."
As if he noticed something, before Zhou Li could speak, Feiyu took the lead and said to Zhou Li: "That's it for today's meeting. Keep in touch at any time."
"OK, thanks."
Understanding Fei Yu's intention, Zhou Li thanked him apologetically. Then he stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the building.
There was no sunlight in the dull sky, and the lights in the house pulled Zhou Li's back a little. Looking at the shadows on the ground and the people leaving, Fei Yu closed his eyes, and a warm silver halo flashed, leaving only a sigh in the room.
"The most painful parting is separation..."
"Where are you going?"
Jordan's port is bustling with people, and ships from the United Chamber of Commerce are constantly delivering supplies to the city. Leaning against the stone pillar, he lowered his head to light the cigarette. Geralost raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky, and replied with a slight daze: "I don't know, I'm just going to take a look."
"Your body..."
Zhou Li frowned, a trace of worry flashed across his face. Geralost is a creature created by falsehood, and Gaia also left a back-up plan in his body to deal with falsehood. The result is that regardless of whether the two parties complete their goals, Geralost's body will suffer irreversible damage. harm.
"ha."
Geralost laughed. He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou's chest, making a thumping sound. "Like you said, it's just a fatal injury, nothing worth mentioning."
"What the hell..."
Zhou Li gritted his teeth, but when he saw Gerost with a smile on his face, he swallowed his original words and turned into a helpless smile.
"Five years, only five years."
The light of the cigarette butt was obscured by the lights of the pier. Gerost exhaled a puff of smoke and said with relief: "Actually, I died more than 20 years ago. Living for so many more years is enough."
"How do you plan to spend the next five years?"
Taking the cigarette Jalost handed him, Zhou Li held it in his mouth without smoking. He just looked at the freighter going away and said to Jalost beside him: "I have some influence in Magnum, really. You can come find me when you can’t walk anymore.”
"I have saved up a bit in the past few years and am ready to travel around."
He threw the cigarette butt aside in a very dishonest manner, and Geralost stretched out. The sea breeze was moist and the air was cool, "Old Ke is not a person who can stay in a daze. He has never done anything good in his life, and his soul must be trapped in it." He couldn't get out of his body. It just so happened that I took his ashes around for a while, maybe I could make him happy, and I reincarnated as soon as my mind became open-minded. It can be considered a good thing that I did."
Showing the package he was carrying, Gerost said to Zhou Li in a joking tone: "This kid was like a monkey at first and couldn't stay in the military camp. Later I saw him become an official and work all day long. Sitting in the office looking serious all day long, I thought he was a different person, and I almost laughed to death."
"Okay, let's walk more, Lao Ke thinks so too."
Zhou Li smiled, glanced at the coastline, and sighed: "Cloudy days in Jordan are really common."
“It’s also nice on cloudy days.”
Nodding, Gerost said in agreement: "Jordan is cloudy all year round, with few sunny days and even fewer suns. But Lao Ke told me that since you came, there have been more sunny days in Jordan. stand up."
"This old boy really treats me as a sunny child."
Zhou Li and Gerost looked at each other, and then laughed loudly in perfect harmony. Geralost laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He wiped the corners of his eyes with rough fingers and shook his head with a half-smile.
"gone."
The whistle sounded in the distance. Gerost picked up his backpack. The silver giant crossbow and cross blade had long been destroyed in the war. The only demon hunter in the world straightened up and told Zhou Li: "Leave little Raya to me." You, she only needs a small amount of energy to survive, she is a very cute girl."
"rest assured."
A small jellyfish emerged from Zhou Li's shoulder, and her tentacles lightly touched Gerost's face, as if to express her reluctance. Geralost rubbed the little jellyfish's head as usual, smiled and said to her: "Raya, think of me when you see the stars in the future."
Raising his head and looking at Zhou Li, Gerost said with a teasing but also sincere tone: "Eluma is a good girl, you must cherish her."
Nodding, Zhou Li responded: "Do you still need to ask? I even gave her the Black Emperor's crown."
"Haha, don't be soft-hearted. In the end, you won't be able to beat Eluma and cry to me. I can't help you."
Facing Gerost's ridicule, Zhou Li replied disdainfully: "Nonsense, if we really fight, even if we are tied together, it won't be enough for her to fight alone, so what's the use of you coming here."
"Okay, no more words."
Hearing the third whistle, Gerost turned around, turned his back to Zhou Li and shouted loudly: "Let's go, bye."
"Jordan will never forget you."
There were no pretentious words or sadness of parting. Zhou Li just looked at Gerost's back and responded firmly: "This land will never forget anyone."
"me too."
Waving his hand, Geralost stood up and walked towards the distant cruise ship. There are no long shadows under the setting sun, nor the sound of farewell blown by the wind. Only the bustling crowd and the smell of fish fell next to Zhou Li, making him feel a little dazed.
After a long time, Zhou Li came to his senses and saw that the cruise ship had slowly left the port. He also turned around, taking the reluctant jellyfish with him, and walked towards home.
After inserting the key and opening the door, you will see sisters Lin Zi and Lin Ling, who are wearing facial masks and relaxing. Of course, as usual, Linghai was also pulled aside, and the expression of giving up the struggle was reflected on the mask, which was very vivid.
"Where is your sister Eluma?"
Collapsed on the soft sofa, Zhou Li looked at Lin Zi, who looked satisfied, and asked, "Have you gone shopping?"
"I don't have enough honey at home, so I went to buy some."
Stretching out her small white palm and pushing Zhou Li aside, Lin Zi said slowly, "You'd better go to Linde Market now. Ain is also there. I'm afraid they can't carry it."
As soon as he heard that Ai Yin was following him, Zhou Li suddenly felt as big as his head. As a human calculator, what Ain is best at is extreme calculation, but this also brings her a little flaw, that is, when she buys items in the market, she always likes to calculate the superimposed discounts, and in the end she often buys a lot Something unplanned.
Although it saves money, it is really not necessary.
"Okay, let me go."
Zhou Li rubbed his brows and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and continued to slump on the sofa, "Forget it, there's no need."
"ah?"
Facing Azi's doubts, Zhou Li twisted his neck and said matter-of-factly: "Your sister Eluma is now a brilliant professional. Not to mention that little thing, even if she moved the Linde Market here, she wouldn't try it." Can't do it."
"Oh, too."
Thinking that Eluma now possesses a brilliant level of power, Ah Zi, who was a little uncomfortable, nodded. She struggled to keep the balance of the mask, turned her head, and asked Zhou Li: "If you say that, , you gave your power to her just to be beaten by Sister Eluma in the future?"
"Why do you always worry about me being beaten by her?"
Somewhat confused, Zhou Li had a huge question mark on his face: "Are you taking revenge privately?"
"It's okay, aren't I worried about you~"
With a smile, Ah Zi took off the mask on her face and threw it in the trash can. She swayed her smooth calves and asked Xiang Zhouli curiously: "You gave your power to sister Eluma, what will you do then?" ?”
"I?"
Zhou Li thought for a while, and then replied nonchalantly: "Let's just eat soft food. If something happens in the future, let Eluma out and let her beat ten of them."
"I can hunt ten rabbits."
There was a sound of pushing the door, and Eluma, who controlled Black Mist and carried large and small bags, entered the room. Ain's face was slightly red. It was obvious that she was ashamed of her inexplicable purchase of a lot of things. Of course, Kaya, who was holding a pile of snacks, was very happy, and Eluma didn't care too much.
"I'm looking at Xuan."
Zhou Li stood up and subconsciously wanted to control the black mist to take the bag from Eluma's hand. But he quickly reacted and walked forward without any trace of performance and took the bag with his hand, "How is the control of Black Mist? Are you used to it?"
“Very good~”
After controlling the black mist to sort the large and small bags, Eluma said to Zhou Li with a smile: "Xiaobai is very obedient and very smart."
noob…
This title silenced both those who didn't like talking and those who liked talking in the room.
"Your naming skills are pretty good..."
Zhou Li broke the silence. He looked at the black mist beside Eluma who behaved like a border shepherd, and said with a corner of his lips: "It's wonderful."
"Hehe, Xiaobai also likes this name."
The black mist rolled up and down, indicating that his master and controller must be right.
In fact, Zhou Li was very surprised by Heiwu's well-behavedness. During the time when he was using the Black Emperor's power, Heiwu had been constantly inciting his heart and amplifying his inner desires and negative emotions. If Zhou Li hadn't had strong self-control and the memory of his previous life, he might have been swallowed by the black mist and become a true tyrant.
He knew that the black mist did not have its own consciousness, it was just a pure desire amplifier, just like when a person breathes in air, it is just its habit to amplify the host's desire. Therefore, what Zhou Li was most worried about was that Eluma would turn black due to the black mist. Therefore, before handing over the power of the Black Emperor to Eluma, Zhou Li made dozens of preparations to prevent Eluma from turning black.
Based on how well-behaved the black mist is now, Zhou Li doubts whether this thing is the one that followed him before. He doesn't understand what kind of desire this black mist amplifies Eluma?
Looking at the honey scattered on his fingers secretly licking in front of him, Zhou Li fell into deep thought.
