Chapter 870: The Down-to-Earth World’s Number One Expert

In Wuji City, Ren Baqian stood in front of a window and looked down upon the unusual city.

It was cold, but gradually getting lively.

It had been more than a month since his first visit, and there seemed to be more people on the streets.

After direct observation, there were nine people on the bus that just drove by.

Previously, he only saw seven people at most.

Ren Baqian was almost fully recovered from the injuries that he sustained two days ago. He at least had no problems walking by himself. Regardless of being on Earth or in the palace, the black mud cream and bone joining cream were always readily available.

These medicines were very expensive for the average person, but it was nothing to him.

Behind him was a woman who was as cold as ice. She was a neutral person like Shen Feng. If it wasn’t for her long hair and well-developed chest, others might mistake her for a man.

Ren Baqian was convinced by how those people always arranged such personal assistants for him. At least her curriculum vitae and her ability to work were unquestionable.

However, he had to admit that assistants like these were the safest.

If he were to get a beautiful one, he couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to live past half a year!

The empress might be generous, but she could also get extremely jealous at times!

Especially after watching so many television series!

Television series were truly the source of all evil!

This time, his assistant’s name wasn’t neutral and didn’t match her appearance at all.

Lin Xiaoyu!

“She has gone back to work. Her condition seems much better than before.”

Her voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that she had even gone through a selection round based on her voice and looks.

Lin Xiaoyu looked at Ren Baqian’s back as they spoke, and she appeared to be a bit curious.

She knew about Qi Jiayu because Shen Feng had told her.

She didn’t know why Qi Jiayu ended up jumping off a building.

However, she was shocked at the hole that Ren Baqian made. Although it was a flower bed, the hole was more than half a meter deep. Yet, he merely suffered fractures in his legs and sacrum. This was more than shocking. He actually fell from a height of 68 meters.

Lin Xiaoyu was equally curious about why he jumped from there. Just to save that woman? This truly surprised her.

From the information that she received before coming here, the person in front of her was a relentless killer.

“I see. You may leave,” Ren Baqian replied without even turning his head.

“Do you wish to dismiss all of the previous staff?” Lin Xiaoyu asked with a little selfishness.

Ren Baqian didn’t mind it and simply said, “Dismiss some of them. Just make sure that she’s alive. Get the others to follow her.”

After she left, Ren Baqian rubbed his brow. After so many things, it was now back to the starting point again.

Forget it. If she wished to stay there, then just let her be.

When Ren Baqian returned to Dayao, the empress looked puzzled after taking her first glance at him.

She looked at him and frowned, “What happened?”

“I found something interesting!” He smiled and continued, “Bungee jumping. Have you heard about it?”

The empress’s face turned sluggish and had a look of disdain as she responded, “Boring stuff.”

She naturally knew that bungee jumping was about tying a bungee cord to a person and jumping down from a height.

The problem was that she wouldn’t even die from a fall without a bungee cord, so how fun would it be to have one tied to her feet then?

To the empress, bungee jumping wasn’t as fun as bumper cars!

At least bumper cars had a little technique involved!

“I wonder if I can build a 150-meter high frame outside the city.” Ren Baqian was eager to try. When he jumped off the roof that day, the sensations of weightlessness and acceleration were quite cool!

If he hadn’t been speeding the whole way down and forced to throw Qi Jiayu to safety when he was just a few meters off the ground, he wouldn’t have been injured so badly. He estimated that this was the amount of injury he would sustain if he were to fall from a height of 100 meters.

At a height of 150 meters, unless they had specifically practiced vertical leaping techniques, it would be pretty dangerous even for an Earth Wheel expert,.

“Boring!” The empress twitched her mouth and ignored him.

Ren Baqian spread his hands. Even though she found it boring, he still felt that it was pretty interesting.

He hadn’t thought about this before, but now, he suddenly felt that it was pretty fun!

In addition to bungee jumping, there was also parachuting and hang gliding. He had to try them someday.

However, Ren Baqian didn’t have time to deal with this bungee jumping platform at the moment. The most important thing now was the internal combustion engine research center.

It seemed to be taking too big of a leap forward to be researching the internal combustion engine when the steam engine hadn’t even been implemented.

However, one had to know that the first gas internal combustion engine was manufactured in 1860, while the first four-stroke internal combustion engine appeared in 1872.

Even without Ren Baqian’s presence, someone might think of a way to shrink the steam engine after a few decades, but he couldn’t wait that long.

It could be achieved with their current level of manufacturing; it was simply short of someone proposing this idea.

Even fuel, the biggest limiting factor of the internal combustion engine, had been addressed long ago.

The first batch of sunflowers was now ripe, and the first batch of peanuts would be ready in two months.

Ren Baqian intended to use biodiesel as the basis of fuel in this world.

The next day, a separate small yard not far from the school’s backyard was officially opened.

This was the so-called internal combustion engine research center. In addition to a specific group of craftsmen who would go to the courtyard every day, there were the senior students in their fourth year. They were supposed to graduate in three years, but had forcibly delayed this to three and a half.

This internal combustion engine was their graduation thesis.

Apart from being busy with various things, Ren Baqian was also making time to prepare some interesting highlights. This group of dim-witted students had done many senseless things over the years, and he had managed to film quite a fair bit of these.

He was preparing to show these to them during their graduation.

Displaying these in public would probably leave them with a memory of a lifetime.

Dayao’s first movie would be based on the senseless acts of these foolish students!

“Kid, where’s that boy by the name of Ning?”

As soon as Ren Baqian finished his lecture, he returned to his office and saw someone standing at the door. There was also the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

“Wow! You are old, yet you still remember? I really can’t tell! Your body is old, but not your mind!” Ren Baqian laughed.

“Bullsh*t. Do you really think that I don’t know that that person is a man? He changed his appearance and ended up looking like a monster!” Li Fu munched on his sweet potato as he cursed with an indistinct voice!

“Why are you looking for him?”

“Crap, he still owes me money!” Li Fu rolled his eyes. “I only went to collect from him when I needed it. Little did I know that he suddenly disappeared.”

“How much does he still owe you?” Ren Baqian laughed.

“30 taels!” Li Fu stretched out his fingers and gestured. This was the money they used for their business partnership. He had put in all the effort while Ning Caichen simply placed a few iron crotch guards there to sell. It ended up with him running away with the money! How pathetic!

“Tsk tsk!” Ren Baqian sighed in admiration. The world’s number one expert was whining about a few taels of silver. What a down-to-earth man!

Who would believe it if this news got out?

Still, Li Fu had never acted like he was the number one expert in the world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone around kicking people in the testicles every day.

“You’ll never get this money back! He’s not coming back anymore!” Ren Baqian said unhurriedly. “However, I have a good job opportunity for you. Would you be interested to learn more?”

“Not interested!” Li Fu rejected without even wanting to learn more.

He was the world’s number one expert. If he wanted money, he simply needed to speak up and it would be delivered to his door.

He wasn’t interested in doing anything for Ren Baqian.

As for the 30 taels of silver, that was his hard-earned money!

“As for the causes and effects of the human race’s history, there’s still another vast world!” Ren Baqian spoke slowly.

“Oh, you are referring to those monsters, right?” Li Fu sneered, appearing to look unconcerned.

“You know about this?” Ren Baqian was caught by surprise!

“I have been around this world for 200 years, so I’ll surely know some things that not many people know about! Yet, so what if I know about them? I have no interest in all this history!”
