Chapter 113

"You can hear the sound in my heart?" Li Li Banfeng was greatly shocked and retreated two steps rapidly.

Ling Ling Miaosheng laughed: "Sir, don't worry. I can tell you frankly that I am a nightmare cultivator. It is precisely because I heard music in your heart that I introduced so many phonographs to you.

I know you are a person who loves music, and I am willing to become friends with you, but just now I heard the sound of steam puffing. I think I cannot provide help to you.

Steam phonographs produced in the Outer Amikan Kingdom, there are only two in the entire Puluo Continent. One is on the Lu family's special train, and the whereabouts of the other phonograph are unknown.

I guess you have special feelings for that phonograph, but it's a pity that I cannot help you make up for those feelings."

Ling Ling Miaosheng was preparing to see his guest out.

Li Li Banfeng scanned the room: "I'll buy the sewing machine phonograph and the bellows phonograph."

Ling Ling Miaosheng was stunned, then shook his head slightly: "Sir, I must remind you that every phonograph has different characteristics and tones. The things you want to find cannot be provided by these two phonographs, and these two phonographs are not cheap."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Name your price; buying is buying."

These two phonographs were indeed not cheap; the bellows phonograph was 60,000, and the sewing machine phonograph was 70,000.

But Li Li Banfeng felt that the gears, bearings, and such inside should be usable, and he gave the cash without hesitation.

But gears and bearings alone weren't enough; many parts of the steam engine on his wife's body were also broken, the connecting rod was bent, and several water pipes were leaking. Where could he find these parts?

In the corner of the room, he also saw a phonograph that hadn't been displayed.

Li Li Banfeng smelled the scent of fuel on this phonograph.

"Show me this phonograph!"

Ling Ling Miaosheng hurriedly explained: "Sir, this is not a phonograph; this is a film projector."

A film projector?

It was actually a movie projector.

It's just that this projector had nothing to do with electricity.

Most cinemas in the Puluo Continent had nothing to do with electricity, and movies didn't actually need electricity; having light, film, and being able to rotate was enough.

When Ling Ling Miaosheng uncovered the curtain, Li Li Banfeng's eyes lit up.

This projector was the good thing he was looking for.

It was steam-driven!

"Outer Amikan Kingdom's steam film projector, burns grease. You've seen a steam phonograph, so you shouldn't be unfamiliar with its working principle."

Ling Ling Miaosheng demonstrated this film projector for Li Li Banfeng.

First, put on the heavy film box, hang the curtain, and Ling Ling Miaosheng lit the grease.

Inside the fuel tank were three mirrors, which projected the flame behind the lens through reflection.

The flame was not only the power for the steam engine but also the light source for the projector.

Focus adjusted, pressure in place, piston floating, steam puffing, connecting rod driving gears, the projector began to run.

This was a black-and-white film, 15 minutes long, telling the story of a man and a woman trapped on a desert island and their various adventures; there was basically no plot, only absurd and bizarre comedy performances.

The film finished, Ling Ling Miaosheng extinguished the fire for the projector and said to Li Li Banfeng: "This film projector is produced by the same factory as the steam phonograph; as for the price, it is also not cheap."

Ling Ling Miaosheng asked for 300,000.

Li Li Banfeng didn't bargain; since it was produced by the same manufacturer, the parts must be interchangeable.

Using the excuse of going home to get money, Li Li Banfeng went to the Personal Residence, returned, paid directly, and bought the two phonographs and one film projector together.

Ling Ling Miaosheng was surprised by Li Li Banfeng's straightforwardness and gave Li Li Banfeng 30 records and 20 films as a gift. Li Li Banfeng also bought 10 barrels of grease, 2 barrels of machine oil, and hired a carriage to load the two phonographs and one film projector onto the cart for delivery.

Li Li Banfeng gave a random address, arrived at a small alley, and Li Li Banfeng directly had the carriage unload the goods.

The carriage owner specifically reminded him: "Boss Ling has already paid the money, asking me to move the things into your house."

Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "No need to move them into the house; this is fine. Hurry back."

The carriage owner picked up a bargain and left happily.

Li Li Banfeng was about to take out the key, preparing to send the things back to the Personal Residence, when he suddenly heard malice approaching from behind.

Li Li Banfeng turned his head abruptly and saw a young man walking towards him quickly.

The two were less than ten meters apart; seeing Li Li Banfeng notice, the man stopped and looked at Li Li Banfeng with a smile.

What's the situation?

He had walked so close, yet Li Li Banfeng hadn't heard a single footstep?

This person had cultivation.

What sect?

While pondering, danger approached from all directions; in the alleys on both sides of the lane, five people appeared one after another, surrounding Li Li Banfeng in the middle.

They walked without any footsteps; one person stepped forward and touched the phonograph, another stepped forward and touched the film projector, and someone else stepped forward and touched Li Li Banfeng; Li Li Banfeng instinctively felt his inner pocket empty, and his wallet was gone.

What nimble skills!

What sect were these people from?

A man wearing suspenders opened Li Li Banfeng's wallet and laughed at the man in the suit beside him: "Big brother, look, this is truly a rich one; there's more than 10,000 in this wallet."

"Do you need to say that?" The man in the suit laughed. "If he weren't rich, could he afford such expensive phonographs? And he bought so many.

I say, brother, since you are so rich, reward us with two, just consider it making a friend."

This is Green Water City?

Does Green Water City also have such things?

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Sure, making a friend. What's your name?"

Everyone burst into laughter; the one in suspenders laughed until his stomach hurt and turned to the suit-man: "Big brother, he's asking for your name. Tell me, are you going to tell him?"

The suit-man laughed: "I won't tell you my name. We are from the Ghost Hand Sect; you can inquire about our reputation in Green Water City. Making friends with us, you won't lose out."

"I also feel I won't lose out. The money in the wallet, I'll give it to you. Is this friend considered made?"

Being able to say such words was not easy for Li Li Banfeng; robbing him was equivalent to touching his bottom line, but today he endured it.

Li Li Banfeng didn't want to stay in Green Water City; he was anxious to go back to repair his wife, and he was also worried about exposing his identity.

"This bit of money isn't enough," the suit-man looked at the wallet in the suspenders-man's hand, then looked at the phonographs beside Li Li Banfeng. "Leave these phonographs behind. Although we don't understand the market, things from Ling Ling Miaosheng's house can definitely sell for a good price."

"The phonographs cannot be given to you." Li Li Banfeng shook his head.

The suspenders-man laughed, flashed in front of Li Li Banfeng, and used Li Li Banfeng's wallet to pat Li Li Banfeng's face: "What did you just say? You said no? You said no to us? Do you know what the consequences are? Do you know..."

Swish!

Li Li Banfeng raised his hand abruptly and used his Mandarin Duck Axes to cut the suspenders-man's throat.

The suspenders-man covered his neck, looking straight at Li Li Banfeng with both eyes, his face full of astonishment and fear.

Li Li Banfeng took the wallet back from his hand and patted his face twice.

The suit-man was shocked and threw a dagger, stabbing at Li Li Banfeng's throat.

Li Li Banfeng grabbed the suspenders-man's head and used the back of his head to block the knife.

A man in black came from behind, and Li Li Banfeng turned his hand and took out the Blood-Containing Pendulum, slashing at his neck.

The suit-man was stunned.

What kind of person is this?

How is killing people even more efficient than killing chickens?

At 1:00 AM, Li Li Banfeng moved the two phonographs and one film projector back to the Personal Residence.

His wife had no sound, seemingly still sleeping.

Li Li Banfeng sat beside his wife, breathing with difficulty.

The smell of blood hit his nose, and his wife woke up.

Chi chi~

"Wei ya~ Hus~band," fluctuating high and low, his wife's speech was still off-key. "Where have you been?"

"Went to Green Water City, met people from the Ghost Hand Sect, and had a fight with them."

"What did you go to Green Water City for? Isn't there~ someone catching you? You ran there~, don't you want your life anymore?"

Li Li Banfeng gave a bitter smile: "I thought you never cared about things outside the house."

Hu chi, hu chi~

"Ghost Hand Sect? Nightmare cultivator? This sect is actually still around! Hus~band, the little slave is injured, yet you didn't say you brought~ back two little thieves for the little slave to nourish~ her body?"

"There were many of them; I couldn't quite handle it."

"Many is good~, bring them all back~, the little slave will handle them."

Li Li Banfeng gave a bitter smile: "You're in this state; what if you can't beat them?"

"What state am I in? Are you disliking~ me? I turned into this state, wasn't it for you?

You brought so much junk back, the house can't even fit it, yet you didn't say you'd bring me something to eat. You're not good to the little slave, you're not good to the little slave, you... why are you injured like this?"

The phonograph was injured, and her eyesight wasn't very good.

She only just saw Li Li Banfeng holding his stomach, blood still flowing.

"Husband, why are you injured~ like this?"

He had been stabbed, and the wound was very deep.

"Didn't I say just now? There were many of them." Li Li Banfeng leaned against the phonograph, his breathing becoming heavier.

"There were many, yet you didn't run? And you brought this junk back for what?"

"This isn't junk; these are phonographs and film projectors from the Outer Amikan Kingdom. I'll take them apart in a while, replace the parts for you, and you'll be fine once they're replaced."

"You risked your life to run to Green Water City, just for this?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't say anything more and supported his body, wanting to stand up.

He prepared to take apart the phonographs and film projector.

Hu chi~

A mass of steam wrapped around Li Li Banfeng, letting him lie on the bed, steam swirling, gently rubbing against the wound.

Li Li Banfeng's lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It hurts me to death..."

The steam swirled around Li Li Banfeng's forehead, and Li Li Banfeng felt a wave of drowsiness strike, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Hu chi, hu chi.

"You madman, don't even look at what kind of garlic sprout you are. You still want to save me? Who gave you the ability? Who gave you the guts?"

Hu chi, hu chi.

"Do I need you to save me? I just treat you as a knife that can kill people, earning food from you. You really treat me as your wife?"

The Copper Lotus sneered in the outer room: "If it weren't for this madman saving you, your cheap bones wouldn't have lasted long, right?"

The phonograph sneered: "It's just a body; what if I don't want it? Just change to another one."

"Can you change to another object? Is there a suitable object for you in this room?"

"There isn't one in this room, but there are always some outside."

"Can you get out? Besides, things that carry smoke and fire, can boil water, and can sing songs aren't easy to find outside. This madman actually helped you gather them all."

Hu chi, hu chi.

The phonograph didn't want to argue with Did Honglian.

She kept using steam to gently stroke Li Li Banfeng.

"You madman, you're a good madman."

Hu chi, hu chi~

Li Li Banfeng suddenly woke up: "Wife, are you calling me?"

Hu chi~

A piece of steam struck, bringing Li Li Banfeng back into dreamland.

The steam swirled around Li Li Banfeng for a whole night.
