Chapter 94: A living creature opened from the treasure chest!?
Lu Xie Xiaofeng soon left the Lotus Tower to prepare the eight golden plaques, so that those qualified to enter the Imperial Palace to watch the duel between Ximen Ximen Chuixue and Ye Ye Gucheng could do so!
And Li Li Lianhua? He didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the Imperial City!
After all, the payment from the Emperor for the three Beauty-Preserving Pills was about to arrive!
Furthermore, the medicinal herbs prepared by the ladies of the inner palace, along with his own service fees, should be ready soon, right?
Therefore, before these matters were settled, Li Li Lianhua naturally would not leave.
But it was a pity that, according to the original plot, Ye Ye Gucheng would die in this decisive battle at the Forbidden City!
Although he could save him before he died.
However, if he were to intervene and save someone who had attempted treason, usurpation, or even the assassination of the Emperor, wouldn't that put him completely at odds with the Great Ming Emperor?
So, it seemed this particular consultation fee would not be earned!
"Right, I still have over 260,000 in consultation fees; let me open a chest first and see!"
Thinking of the consultation fee issue, Li Li Lianhua recalled the 200,000 taels of silver he had just received for medical services and medicine!
He checked, and the cost to open a chest had already reached 180,000?
Without any hesitation, Li Li Lianhua directly chose to redeem it!
The 180,000 taels of silver vanished into thin air, and then, an exquisite treasure chest appeared before Li Li Lianhua!
So, what kind of good item could this chest yield?
With curiosity and anticipation secretly in his heart, Li Li Lianhua reached out and opened the chest before him!
Once again, a brilliant light bloomed, the same familiar feeling as always, making Li Li Lianhua instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes!
A moment later, the brilliant light radiating from the chest slowly dissipated!
An object appeared in Li Li Lianhua's palm!
No, to be more precise, was this a living creature?
A living, breathing creature? This seemed to be the first time he had opened a living thing from a chest since he started opening them, right?
He examined the creature closely; it looked like a snail, but it lacked the slimy feeling of a snail, feeling quite clean and fresh in his hand!
As Li Li Lianhua’s gaze rested upon it, information about this snail-like creature automatically surfaced in his mind!
Den Den Mushi mother snail; it can give birth to two baby Den Den Mushi every month!
Whether it is the mother or the baby, they can communicate with each other!
"So, this is a Den Den Mushi!"
Looking at the snail-like Den Den Mushi in his hand, Li Li Lianhua suddenly realized!
This Den Den Mushi was a special product from the world of the One Piece anime.
Its function? Naturally, as the name implies, it is used for making calls!
Although it is a living creature, it performs the role of a mobile phone!
Moreover, this Den Den Mushi is even rated as the most expressive animal!
Why? Because when a call is connected, the Den Den Mushi will actually transform to look similar to the person on the other end!
And then? Whatever expression the person on the other end has while talking, the Den Den Mushi can perfectly replicate it.
It can even replicate snoring, blowing bubbles from the nose, or spitting blood; it is almost exactly like a video call.
That is why this Den Den Mushi is jokingly called the most expressive creature!
Li Li Lianhua hadn't expected that he would actually open a creature like a Den Den Mushi from a treasure chest!
However, Li Li Lianhua was actually quite satisfied with this item!
People living in the modern era were long accustomed to the existence of mobile phones, making communication incredibly convenient!
But in this world of martial arts, once people parted ways, contacting them again was almost impossible, and Li Li Lianhua really wasn't used to that!
Now, with this Den Den Mushi, things would be much more convenient!
In the future, whenever he met someone he wanted to keep in touch with, he could just send them a baby Den Den Mushi, and they could contact each other at any time, right?
More importantly, at the beginning and middle of every month, the mother Den Den Mushi would give birth to a baby Den Den Mushi.
This meant the number of people he could call in the future would keep increasing, right?
This was perfect, even more perfect than just giving him a mobile phone!
After all, even if he had a phone, he couldn't build a communication network, so the phone would be useless!
Unlike the Den Den Mushi, which he could use to contact anyone anytime, anywhere, and he didn't even need to pay phone bills?
With a satisfied expression, Li Li Lianhua placed the basketball-sized mother Den Den Mushi on the table in the Lotus Tower!
Usually, when there were no calls, the mother Den Den Mushi remained in a sleeping state, which was quite good!
It was just that, since the Den Den Mushi was a living creature, what did it eat?
Li Li Lianhua thought for a moment and placed some meat in front of the Den Den Mushi.
The Den Den Mushi remained in its sleeping state, seemingly completely unaware of the scent of meat right in front of its nose!
On the contrary, the fox-spirit wagged its tail, staring at him with eager eyes!
……
The fox-spirit stared at the mother Den Den Mushi on the table, its eyes filled with vigilance!
In the fox-spirit’s view, originally, besides its master, it was the only little treasure in this home, and all of the master's love belonged to it!
But now? Suddenly, a new competitor had appeared!
The meat it liked to eat most, the master wouldn't give to it, but instead took the initiative to feed that thing he didn't even know!
It was already asleep, yet the master still took the initiative to feed it, without even noticing it?
So, love really does fade, right?
Wagging its tail for a long time, the master still hadn't looked at it.
Even worse, seeing that the other one wouldn't eat meat, he actually went out himself to pick some grass and wild fruits?
Finally, that thing he didn't know opened its eyes when faced with the wild fruit, and then opened its mouth to eat one!
And what about the master?
Seeing that thing eat the wild fruit, he actually had a happy smile on his face!
The master had never been like that with it!
……
Not to mention what kind of "Mom and Dad had a second child and don't want me anymore" feeling the fox-spirit had while watching Li Li Lianhua feed the Den Den Mushi!
"So, this Den Den Mushi eats fruit!"
After trying meat, grass, and fruit separately, seeing the mother Den Den Mushi eat the wild fruit, Li Li Lianhua nodded silently; he finally knew the Den Den Mushi's diet!
In the original One Piece anime, although there were many scenes with Den Den Mushi.
But as for what they ate? It had really never been shown!
Just as Li Li Lianhua watched the Den Den Mushi eat a fruit and then go back to sleep obediently, he nodded with satisfaction!
A Den Den Mushi didn't need to be very lively!
Like this, eating until full and then sleeping was the best!
Just then, a voice rang out from outside the Lotus Tower: "Is Divine Physician Li home?"
Hearing the sound, Li Li Lianhua walked out of the Lotus Tower's door, and then, with a surprised look, he saw a secret agent standing before him!
"You are? From the Dragon Protection Villa?" Li Li Lianhua asked, looking at the other person with surprise!
Hadn't he just come out of the Dragon Protection Villa? What was the meaning of this agent following him here?
"Divine Physician Li, the Divine Marquis asked me to invite you, saying he is hosting a banquet tonight to properly entertain you!" The agent saw Li Li Lianhua's surprised and questioning look and spoke up!
"Oh, alright, I will go over tonight!"
Li Li Lianhua thought for a moment, feeling that the Iron-Willed Divine Marquis must be grateful to him, so he wanted to entertain him, or perhaps even build a good relationship to pave the way for future needs?
For a banquet to build a relationship with a client, and one set up specifically for him, Li Li Lianhua was naturally willing to go!
Besides, he would be staying in the Imperial City for a few more days, and eating alone was still eating; he might as well go to the Dragon Protection Villa for some liveliness!
Having received Li Li Lianhua's affirmative reply, the Dragon Protection Villa agent turned and left to report back!
Not taking this matter to heart, Li Li Lianhua turned and went back into the house!
However, as he turned, he saw the fox-spirit lying in its doghouse, looking dejected.
Li Li Lianhua asked with surprise: "Fox-spirit, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Li Li Lianhua's words, the fox-spirit raised its head to look at him, showing neither enthusiasm nor coldness, just looking at Li Li Lianhua calmly!
Based on its jealousy of the Den Den Mushi, the fox-spirit naturally wouldn't show that attitude!
It is just like a child at home; even if they are jealous of a second sibling, they would never show it to their face!
At most, they would wait until the parents weren't around to secretly pinch them a few times to vent their dissatisfaction!
The fox-spirit's appearance made Li Li Lianhua feel surprised; he squatted down and reached out to stroke the fox-spirit's head!
However, the fox-spirit's behavior was still completely different from before.
This made Li Li Lianhua secretly surprised; for the fox-spirit to be so abnormal, could it be sick?
Then, a blue light flashed gently on his hand, and Li Li Lianhua kept his hand on the fox-spirit's head!
Accompanied by the ability of the Blue Hand, Li Li Lianhua was finally able to feel the fox-spirit's emotions!
Good heavens, this fox-spirit was actually jealous? Jealous that another pet had stolen its attention?
"You fox-spirit, so you were jealous of the Den Den Mushi?"
"You have to understand your position; you are my pet, and you could also say you are my partner!"
