Chapter 219 Crystal powder, purification!

“Brother, it’s broken!”

Seeing Li Bailong coming in, Jiang Lishu rushed over and hugged him, screaming: “I seem to be cursed!”

Li Bailong’s eyes twitched, and he vaguely guessed something, but still asked: “…What’s wrong?”

“Just now, when I was illuminated by the beacon’s radiation, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind…” Master said in panic, “This thought kept repeating itself – The Legend of the Imperial Battle of Heaven is really interesting!”

“…”

“Then I couldn’t help but recall the details in the book, couldn’t help but come back to read it carefully again and again, couldn’t help but go to the bookstore to buy a few more copies… Damn it! I couldn’t control myself at all!”

She was shocked and angry, and began to suspect the culprit: “Is it Long Batian who cursed me? Damn it, is this how the sales and data are generated?”

Famous female writers in Huazhou loudly denounced this despicable behavior.

“——How enviable! I also want to use this method to brainwash readers, make them accept everything I write unconditionally, please me, follow me, worship me, and even skip the steps of writing and publishing books, buying and reading books, and directly give me money! Damn it, why can’t they become my slaves!”

“…”

——What is this person talking about! How dare he criticize and despise the respectable gentleman like this!
Get off my seat!
As a creator, he is so shameless as to think about this kind of thing that can make money without any effort!
Ridiculous, such a good thing…is it your turn?

Li Bailong sneered in his heart.

He asked gently: “Is your symptom severe?”

“what?”

“The emperor approved it.”

Even the wisest people in the world would find it hard to figure out what these three words meant, but the master understood immediately: “Hey, it doesn’t seem that strong now.”

She thought about it and gave a quantified answer.

“When I was illuminated by the radiation just now, at that moment, my imperial approval level was at its highest, probably to the level of ‘I will die without the imperial book’. When I said goodbye to you and returned here, my imperial approval level had dropped a lot…”

“To quantify it, it should be at the level of ‘this is the confidence that the Imperial Book gives me’.”

“Now…”

She shrugged and said, “It has been reduced to the level of ‘I want to become a high-ranking imperial scholar.'”

“Very intuitive.” Li Bailong praised, and then asked, “Is it still descending?”

“It seems to remain the same…” Master said this, and then he looked distressed again, “Damn it, is this what it feels like to be blinded by marketing promotions?”

She sighed, feeling confused and uneasy: “What is going on?”

“Beacon.” Li Bailong said, “This is probably the effect of the beacon… You also saw that the cattle and horses became scabs, and the officials also became loyal. This is probably the effect of the beacon.”

“Brainwashing? Mind control device?” the master asked in horror, “Am I being painted?”

“…”

Damn it, I told her so much useless knowledge that I can hardly keep up!
“It doesn’t feel like it, because it’s not something created out of nothing, but something in my heart has been magnified.”

Li Bailong pondered and said, “No matter whether they are soldiers or officials, they all have loyalty to Da Qi in their hearts. This emotion is magnified, so they are full of energy and initiative. And you, my friend…”

He looked at his master with a friendly expression and gave him a thumbs up: “You must be a hidden emperor…”

Without waiting for the master’s expression to change, he started laughing strangely.

“Oh, you are a famous writer in the female channel. You write books for girls all day long, earn money from girls, and are praised by girls. But who knows that you are secretly reading books in the male channel. You are secretly reading books, right? You secretly like this kind of books that insult women. Do your readers know? Oh, you are so thirsty for men. You are just a little wife. Don’t write in the female channel. Come to the male channel. I will ask Chen Botang and others to change your label entry…”

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head and took a few steps back.

“Your tone really deserves a beating.” The master looked at him unkindly, “I always feel a little unhappy. Are you hiding something?”

Li Bailong’s smile froze slightly.

In his mind, Long Aotian, who was watching the show, said happily: “Why don’t you just reveal your identity directly? You can also take the opportunity to humiliate and ridicule her, a loyal reader, as the original author.”

“No.” Li Bailong said decisively, “You will die.”

“At least you died on the way to the charge, tragically and honorably.” Aozi said sincerely, “Trust me, now is the best time for you to reveal your identity.”

“I believe you.”

“Ah.”

“So, this is the function of the beacon?” The master asked suspiciously, “How come you are okay?”

Li Bailong stared at her steadily, turned his head slightly, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness under the candlelight. Then he showed a sly smile: “How do you know… I’m okay?”

It seemed as if a cold wind had risen out of nowhere.

In an instant, he seemed to recall the horrific memories of his previous wanderings.

The master froze.

The next moment, A-di rushed to her and hugged her.

“Hey, it’s Mo Feng! Mo Feng! Great author, I finally see you, hey, you smell so good, so soft, give birth to a baby for me, Mo Feng, hiss, hiss, hiss…”

Li Bailong’s heavy breathing sprayed on her face: “I have liked you for a long time, and I have liked your books for a long time. I like your writing so much. I want to tie you up in the basement of my house. If you don’t write 10,000 words a day, you won’t even have clothes to wear, hehehehe…”

“——Get lost!”

The second headbutt knocked the rebel back.

The master said fiercely, “Tell me, how come you are okay?”

Li Bailong raised his hand helplessly: “Did you forget? I am completely immune to mental attacks.”

The master suddenly realized and said angrily, “Do you want to activate this too?” “Passive does not count as activation.”

Jiang Lishu asked a few more questions, still frowned, and looked towards the second hall.

“I feel like there’s something wrong,” she said. “That beacon…”

“Since it is regarded as a winning weapon by the emperor’s uncle, it must have some miraculous effect.” Li Bailong thought about the enthusiastic reaction of the crowd and pondered, “I think the function of this thing is probably to purify the crystal powder…”

Zhang Mao, a second-generation person with a good family background, is undoubtedly the emperor’s (uncle’s) descendant and does not need to be purified.

But Zhang Chun was clearly an old official who wanted to get promoted. He acted based on personal gain and loss. Under the influence of the beacon, he actually ignored Director Li’s will and carried out the emperor’s uncle’s orders with 100% determination.

Engineer Cheng is even more bizarre, he is clearly a lowly construction site technician, that is, an all-terrain adaptive bipedal creature that can beat a gray cow or a horse, yet he dares to contradict a state-level leader, it is clear that his purity has been greatly increased.

The function of the beacon is so terrifying.

As the purity increases, distracting thoughts dissipate, and the mind becomes as clear as a mirror, the power of vows will surely become much purer.

Li Bailong gave a general explanation.

The master asked with empty eyes: “What does that have to do with me becoming an emperor?”

She was immediately shocked: “Could it be that Long Batian is also doing something similar?”

I knock!

Li Bailong was shocked, but he said calmly, “No way? What he did in Huazhou is tantamount to stealing food from the imperial court. King Zhao must kill him, right?”

Aozi said faintly: “I think it would be best if you kneel down and confess now.”

Shut up! Your advice on male and female experience is the most useless!
——How can I be willing to die now? I haven’t taken advantage of you enough! I can still continue to exploit Master! I have to play with Master’s shame inside and out!
Jiang Lishu had no idea what the traitor was thinking and was still confused: “Then why would I…”

“Coincidence?”

Li Bailong pretended to think: “Zhang Mao and Zhang Chun showed their loyalty to the royal family, but Master will never be loyal to a certain person or a certain force, so…”

As he was speaking, the master looked at him and suddenly sighed.

Li Bailong said guiltily: “Ah? What?”

Aozi said calmly: “She said you are an idiot.”

——Huh? What happened! Who just laughed at me? I was actually laughed at by such a person!
Li Bailong suddenly came back to his senses.

He reacted quickly, staring with wide eyes, and complained first: “Wait! Sister was hit by the beacon, why didn’t her love for me double and she became obedient to me?”

Jiang Lishu rolled his eyes and sighed.

Aozi said calmly: “She said you are a big idiot.”

“…”

Finally, the big idiot did a series of experiments.

First, he invited Junior Sister Xu Wangyu to the side of the beacon and took a photo of it.

Junior Sister Xu, no reaction.

Then five regressive elements who refused to read the imperial edict were found from the Tongwen Bureau.

The four people did not respond.

The fifth person became grateful and cried, saying thank you to Lingyu Sect for giving him the opportunity to be reborn and start a new life, and he would definitely serve Governor Li well.

He also found several clerks and booksellers from the bookstores under the Tongwen Bureau.

Finally, there are the imperial critics who read the imperial books.

“…That’s not right, old dragon.”

Although it is appropriate to say that the function of the beacon is to “purify the crystalline powder”, not everyone can purify it.

For example, Junior Sister Xu Wangyu regards the head master as her own mother and is loyal to the sect. If the beacon can be purified, her loyalty should be doubled… but she has no reaction.

The officers of the Tongwen Bureau also showed similar behavior.

The only thing that was purified was the crystal powder of Lingyu Sect.

The same is true of the booksellers in bookstores, who do not show any “fanatic love” for other authors.

In addition, as human beings, everyone should have their own loved ones, but no one shows deeper loyalty and sincerity to family and love.

Zhang Mao and others are the royal family’s favorite fans.

Therefore, the so-called purification, the amplified “loyalty” or “identification”, seems to be selective…

It seems that only the royal family and the six major factions will allow those affected by the beacon to pledge loyalty.

Oh, and there is Long Aotian.

If there is one thing they have in common, it is that they can “collect vows”.

“Not good.” Li Bailong said solemnly, “Do the people in the court understand this mechanism?”

If they understand, then when the beacon is activated, all the people in Huazhou will be affected. By then, the bigwigs in the court will find that in addition to the good people who are loyal to Da Qi, there are also the emperors who are dancing wildly with joy…

Now the beacon’s influence range is extremely small, and only those who are illuminated by the golden light of the disc will react, but the function of the sub-tower is probably to expand this influence range.

Now, Zhang Chun and others have started to build the first sub-tower.

“Ao Bao, say something, Ao Bao!”
