Li Chengqian then began to disassemble the parts at the bottom of the "iron box" with his bare hands.
In a short while, the huge "iron box" split in two.
Setting down the two-part iron box, Li Chengqian pointed to the part with four wheels and said, "You just need to install the core on this part."
"You don't need to worry about the other part."
Looking at what was in front of him, Tie Shou took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Li, rest assured, I will do my best to complete it."
"Okay, take your time."
"You two hurry up and do what you're supposed to do. The inn can't be managed by Xiaoyuer alone."
"Yu Yan also went to help."
Li Chengqian sent Wanwan and the others away, and then went back to his room.
However, when Li Chengqian returned to his room, he kept cursing something in a very low voice.
"You despicable bastard, you won a motorhome and then you took the engine apart. Why didn't you just give me a bunch of iron ore and tell me to build it?"
"You took apart the engine, fine, but you also took apart the refrigerator, light bulbs, and TV."
So you're not even letting anything with the word "electric" in it go?
in the room.
After calming down, Li Chengqian opened the system panel.
"Ding! The inn's roads have now connected three dynasties. The inn is about to be upgraded. Please prepare, host."
"Ding! The inn's development level has broken records, rewarding you with one silver-level targeted lottery draw."
[Ding! The host has triggered the side quest "Hero Island".]
[Task: Obtain the recipe for Laba porridge from Xia Ke Island.]
[Reward: Regular supply of ingredients for Laba porridge from Xia Ke Dao.]
Upon seeing the message from the system, Li Chengqian immediately adopted a fawning expression.
··Requesting flowers···
"As expected, the system understands me best. I hope that next time it can remove the technological components from the real world."
"Would I be the kind of person who develops technology in a martial arts world?"
"System, you're so wise and powerful, you must trust me!"
The system remained calm in the face of Li Chengqian's flattery.
Since the real world was added to the regular lottery, Li Chengqian would spend tens of thousands of popularity points on the regular lottery every few days.
The reason is simple: Li Chengqian wanted to usher in a technological era.
After all, no matter how comfortable the martial arts world is, can it compare to the technological age?
However, the system seemed to have noticed Li Chengqian's little scheme, and the ordinary lottery system refused to give out any technology products.
.. ...
If you occasionally draw a technological item, the system will erase all traces of technology from that item.
For example, this RV.
Engines, refrigerators, televisions, light bulbs, wiring—anything involving technology, regardless of whether it can be copied, is dismantled with remarkable thoroughness.
The huge RV was reduced to just the chassis and some sofas and tables.
The only saving grace was that the system didn't remove the tires, otherwise the RV would have been just a decoration.
After flattering everyone, Li Chengqian turned his attention to the system's targeted lottery.
Targeted lottery, as the name suggests, allows you to specify a particular type of item to be entered into the lottery.
Li Chengqian was extremely envious of this feature.
This feature is a godsend for gamblers and unlucky people alike!
What will be included in the targeted lottery?
"The upper limit of the silver lottery pool is not high, and you can't get anything good, whether it's cultivation techniques or treasures."
As he was muttering to himself, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How could I forget about that? Li Xunhuan keeps mentioning the good wine I promised him."
"There's nothing lacking in the martial arts world, except for drunkards. The higher the skill level of a master, the more they like to have a few drinks."
"If Ping An Inn had a famous wine, it would attract a steady stream of customers even if I didn't run a storytelling venue."
"With the Laba porridge from Xia Ke Island from this mission, won't my AFK (away from keyboard) life be taken to the next level?"
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian immediately used the Silver Targeted Lottery.
"Ding! Prize draw successful!"
Chapter 372 The Famous Wine "Three Lives", The Drunkard Li Xunhuan
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the 'Three Lives' liquor set."
Upon hearing the system notification, Li Chengqian quickly checked his reward.
After all, this is my first time trying a targeted lottery, and the quality of the reward will directly affect my future choices!
After ten breaths, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth began to turn up.
"Be good!"
"If I didn't dislike drinking, I would at least have a sip."
"This exquisite wine is so good, it would be unreasonable to charge less than 180 taels per cup!"
As he spoke, Li Chengqian grabbed a cup and quickly ran to the back of the bamboo grove courtyard.
The system's method of awarding the prize this time was somewhat special; the famous liquor "Sansheng" was not directly placed into its own system space.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was another storytelling event, held every five days, and martial arts enthusiasts from Ping'an Town, a mile away, flocked to the "263" Inn in Ping'an.
"This is wonderful! We've finally got to hear Mr. Li tell stories."
"I've been thinking about Qing'er's fate for the past five days. If Mr. Li doesn't reveal the answer soon, I'm going crazy."
"That's right, I suddenly feel that the martial arts world is no longer interesting."
"Instead of fighting and killing in the martial arts world all day long, it's better to stay in this peaceful town."
"Listening to storytelling on weekdays and occasionally doing some small business, this kind of life is actually not bad."
"But speaking of which, what's been going on in town lately? Everyone who comes back from outside looks so serious!"
"I don't know, I guess something big has happened in the martial arts world again."
"Who cares? What could be more important than Mr. Li telling stories? Let's hurry up and go."
"If you go too late, there won't be any seats left."
Ping An Inn.
Li Xunhuan stared at a wine pot, his Adam's apple bobbing repeatedly.
Some martial arts practitioners, noticing Li Xunhuan's unusual behavior, couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Master Li, what are you doing?"
The voices of others woke Li Xunhuan, who immediately laughed and said, "This guest is joking."
"I am currently just a servant at Ping An Inn, and the title of 'hero' is absolutely unacceptable."
"Well, Mr. Li recently acquired some fine wines, and Xunhuan is currently selling them."
Upon hearing this, the lips of the people standing nearby twitched.
Are you trying to sell something?
You hid the wine inside without even putting up a label. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were hiding some kind of treasure.
"Hehehe!"
"I see. The wine that makes the third-ranked scholar so envious must be an exceptional brew."
"But if I remember correctly, Li Xunhuan, the third-ranked scholar, always carried wine with him, and this peerless wine is right in front of us."
"Why doesn't the third-ranked scholar bring out his wine and have a good drink?"
Hearing this, Li Xunhuan felt even more pain in his heart.
"Brother, you've hit a nerve. Mr. Li knows I'm a connoisseur of wine, so he's set a rule for me."
"I can only drink one pot of wine a month. If I drink this wine now, I won't have any to drink for the next few days."
Li Xunhuan's words further aroused the curiosity of those martial arts enthusiasts.
In an instant, Li Xunhuan was surrounded by people.
"A wine that Mr. Li cherishes so much must be comparable to fine wine."
"My lord, bring me a jar of this wine quickly. No matter how expensive it is, I must try it today."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan, who had been all smiles, instantly fell silent.
Although he was extremely unwilling, he still took out a bamboo tube that was about a foot tall and as thick as an arm from the very back of the cabinet.
Seeing this, everyone understood why Li Xunhuan was behaving this way.
Drinking the finest wine in front of a drunkard, isn't that worse than killing him?
"Don't be stingy, Scholar. Although Mr. Li only allows you to drink one pot of wine a month, he didn't say that others can't treat you to wine."
"I'll treat you to this drink."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan's expression immediately returned to normal.
"In that case, I'll gladly accept it."
"However, before we drink this wine, we must mention the price. This wine is called 'Three Lives,' and it costs one hundred and eighty taels."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
