Beep, beep, beep ~
Emperor Ling Hui’s gaze landed on Zeng Sanshui’s wrist and he discovered something strange. “What is this?”
Zeng Sanshui immediately became interested and introduced excitedly, “Your Majesty, this is a watch. It’s used to check the time!”
“Time?”
“It’s the time. There’s machinery in them that’s fully automatic. It’ll remind you when a specific time is up.”
Emperor Ling Hui became interested and ordered Zeng Sanshui to take off his watch for him to see.
This fully automatic mechanical watch was not available on the market in Carefree Kingdom.
He was the one who shamelessly asked Village Chief Zhao’s eldest son, Zhao Sheng, for it. He had carefully protected it along the way.
When he handed it to Emperor Ling Hui, Zeng Sanshui looked extremely pained.
Emperor Ling Hui chuckled and took the watch. He wanted to turn it.
Zeng Sanshui’s heart was in his throat as he hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you can’t touch it casually. There’s no watch repairer in our country. If it’s broken, it would become useless. Just take a look. I’ll teach you how to read the time.” Emperor Ling Hui raised his eyebrows. “Is it that complicated? There are so few people in Carefree Kingdom and so many of us. Aren’t we afraid that we won’t be able to find a craftsman who can repair it?”
Zeng Sanshui subconsciously looked at him. “The watch is exquisite. Even in the Carefree Kingdom’s National Research Institute, only a few people have mastered this technology.”
His abnormally respectful attitude towards the Carefree Kingdom made Emperor Ling Hui ask, “What is a scientific research institute?”
Zeng Sanshui was stunned and said carefully, “The scientific research institute is a place specializing in research and development of technology in the Carefree Kingdom. There are many outstanding talents in all fields gathered together to develop all kinds of technological products.”
“Technological product?” Emperor Ling Hui looked at the sneakers at Zeng Sanshui’s feet and asked curiously, “Is this also a technological product?”
Zeng Sanshui chuckled. “This isn’t a technological item. This is a pair of sneakers. They’re especially comfortable and light when walking. They’re also smell-proof. Although it’s not a technological item, it’s specially developed in Carefree Kingdom. The salesperson said that it’s made of rubber, like the rubber on the tires of cars.”
Emperor Ling Hui did not understand a few phrases. “Car? Tire?”
Did Zeng Sanshui go to the Carefree Kingdom or another world?
Zeng Sanshui hurriedly explained, “Cars are the most advanced technology in Carefree Kingdom. They can make iron-skinned machines move easily without relying on livestock!!! Their speed far exceeds that of carriages. When the Great Empress of Carefree Kingdom goes out, she always takes that thing. There’s a leather sofa inside. I’ve tried sitting on it once and it’s especially stable. There are also red, blue, and black cars. 1 want to buy one for you, but they won’t sell it!”
“The tires are also the wheels of a car. The outer ring is made of rubber, so it has elasticity and extremely strong gravity bearing.”
When Emperor Ling Hui heard this, he felt that it was a fantasy.
He was about to continue asking when the poison acted up in his body again.
Emperor Ling Hui’s entire body was visibly purple. Zeng Sanshui was frightened and hurriedly called for a doctor.
Doctor Lin was always around. When he heard someone shout, he immediately entered the carriage and quickly administered acupuncture and medicine to Emperor Ling Hui.
When Emperor Ling Hui woke up again, he was extremely tired. It was difficult for him to speak.
The team did not delay any longer and quickly headed to the southern frontier.
Zeng Sanshui and Qu Yuanxian had yet to return to the capital when they followed them back again.
On the way, Zeng Sanshui secretly ate chocolate and was caught by Emperor Ling Hui. It was difficult for him to speak, so he gestured with his eyes to give him one.
Chocolate was a snack for everyone in Carefree Kingdom. It was purchased at limited quantity every time.
Zeng Sanshui had just left the southern frontier and did not have much left.
It was fine if Emperor Ling Hui ate one, but he became addicted to it. Whenever the poison acted up, he would ask him to take out chocolate..
