Junjun Zhao did not understand the Art of Incense, and at this moment, her heart was filled with confusion.
She had come to report the situation and to take credit for her contributions, but why had Manager Qiao stopped her halfway through her report and without any explanation walked over to the Incense Burner and suddenly decided to burn incense?
Junjun Zhao had countless doubts in her heart, and Manager Qiao paid no heed to any of them, simply pouring the incense powder into the burner.
When it came to the Art of Incense, it was indeed a complex craft.
Generally speaking, it required great patience to benefit from this craft, and for ordinary people like Junjun Zhao, the Art of Incense was nothing but a waste of time.
However, Manager Qiao seemed very keen on it.
He placed an Iron Piece on the gray-white Incense Ash, then poured in the pale yellow incense powder, filling the gaps in the Iron Piece.
After all the incense powder had entered the Iron Piece, he gently lifted it away.
But a miraculous scene occurred; despite the missing part of the Iron Piece being square-shaped, when he lifted it, the incense powder was not square but had turned into the cannon she had seen the night before.
The appearance of this cannon was much more refined than her drawings, even the details were perfectly presented.
Junjun Zhao took a step forward in disbelief, and after seeing the cannon, which was nearly identical to what she had seen the night before, her mouth hung open in shock.
Manager Qiao smiled and curved his lip, "Replication is managed by a pair of symbiotic worms, which can share information. One worm copies what it sees into its memory, and the other worm can then reproduce the exact same thing based on this memory."
Junjun Zhao was so astonished that she was completely speechless.
Thinking of the mysterious little box that Manager Qiao had given her, Zhao Xiaomiao felt her heart skip a beat.
She had thought it was a Poisonous Worm, only to find out it was such a capable creature.
It was taken aback how casually Manager Qiao had entrusted her with such important creatures!
Luckily she had not lost it. What would she have done if she had?
"You have done very well. The Lord will arrive soon, and when he does, I will definitely commend you,"
Upon hearing these words, Junjun Zhao no longer felt scared and was ecstatic; she bowed deeply: "Thank you, Shopkeeper, for your support!"
"Keep up the good work. With us, your future will be brighter than before," hinted Manager Qiao.
Junjun Zhao, understanding the implication, bowed deeply: "Don’t worry, Shopkeeper. Although Shopkeeper Yan has recommended me, it is Thousand Miles that truly gave me a new life. I am absolutely loyal to Thousand Miles, ready to go through fire and water."
Manager Qiao nodded, "Your loyalty will surely be seen by the Lord."
The two people in the dungeon heard the conversation above clearly, never expecting the seemingly innocent Junjun Zhao to also be aware of Thousand Miles.
After all, she had willingly gone to Thousand Miles to take the medicine; she wouldn’t dare to ingest random substances without clear knowledge.
The two exchanged glances, reading a trace of surprise in each other’s eyes.
Soon there was no more sound from above; Manager Qiao and Junjun Zhao must have left.
Thinking of the commotion by the Incense Table earlier, the two could no longer sit still.
Even though the mechanisms above seemed to be an insurmountable barrier, they possessed Special Abilities!
Their Special Ability was like a cheat code, there was no wall they couldn’t climb.
Li Wenli wrapped his arms around the young lady and with a lift of his hand, the pale blue flame intensified.
The iron bars and dirt above were instantly scorched by the intense heat, creating a large hole.
Li Wenli, holding Bai Junjun, then headed for the outside.
After escaping, they restored the room to its original state before running to the Incense Table.
Although they had not seen it, they had heard the tinkling sounds by the Incense Table.
