619: Dial-up application
"It's right here! Didn't you see? That beggar was just here!" Qiong Juanshu grabbed the clothes of the servant beside him and said.
The servant, listening to his Young Master's words, was full of questions: "Young Master, are you not well-rested?"
"I..." Qiong Juanshu frowned tightly, rubbing his forehead: "Perhaps."
Bringing the servant, the two walked towards the Qiong family mansion.
Lanterns hung at the entrance, providing light.
As the two stepped over the threshold and walked inside, behind them, there was a third shadow, like it was only one step behind!
Silent and soundless.
The next day.
The autumn rain, which had fallen for over ten days, finally stopped.
In the hazy sky, there was no Sun.
Ning Buxiu was woken up by an itch.
Looking at his tightly bandaged right hand, Ning Buxiu frowned and lifted the cloth covering the wound.
Beneath a layer of black-green medicinal herbs was a blurry mass of flesh and blood.
And within this flesh and blood, a patch of steel-needle-like white hair had grown!
That intense itch was precisely coming from this wound covered in white hair!
When the demon soldier bit him, it didn't just suck blood; it also came with corpse poison and a curse.
If he left this injury untreated, he would likely be assimilated into a zombie.
His gaze fell on the table beside him, where two Martial Arts books and a piece of Gu were placed.
Huodu Palm, Nimble Step.
If he could Cultivate the Huodu Palm to completion, he could probably expel the corpse poison from his hand and heal the injury.
Ning Buxiu estimated as such.
Unfortunately, he had no money now, which he needed to earn.
After re-bandaging his hand, Ning Buxiu slowly got out of bed.
The dizziness brought on by anemia almost made him sit back down.
His body was truly severely depleted. He wondered if the female lust Ghost in this World was as ruthless as the demon soldier.
"Master, you're awake?" The maidservant, who was bringing warm water for Ning Buxiu to wash up, saw this scene and said with pleasant surprise.
Not long after.
A large group of people arrived in Ning Buxiu's bedroom.
The Lan Family Head, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Mother, Fourth Mother...
"Xiuer, how are you feeling?"
"Do you want us to call a doctor to take a look?"
Everyone surrounded Ning Buxiu, asking questions all at once.
Listening to these words of concern, Ning Buxiu smiled and shook his head, his heart also slightly warmed.
The villain's family is indeed very harmonious.
"I'm fine, Father, how many telephones are we producing now?" Ning Buxiu waved his hand, bringing up the topic he was concerned about.
telephones are linked to money, money is linked to strength. Only when his strength improves is he truly fine.
As soon as Ning Buxiu's words were spoken, the Lan Family Head Ning Jiushan looked around and coughed: "You all go down first, we have something to discuss with Xiuer."
After dismissing the others, only Ning Jiushan and Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle remained in the room.
"According to the template you gave, Xiuer, our craftsmen produced 3500 of those things in one night."
"3500 units? That's about right for opening up the market in the early stage." Ning Buxiu murmured, glancing at the System panel.
With the server built, he could now completely support over ninety thousand telephones for normal use without any pressure!
"Let the craftsmen continue production. These 3500 units that have been produced can be directly taken to our Ning family's shops for sale," Ning Buxiu decided.
"Do we still need to rush production? The demand for this map thing isn't that high. Making too many will waste materials," Eldest Uncle said with some worry.
"Eldest Uncle, take a look at your telephone. Has a new application appeared?" Ning Buxiu reminded him.
Eldest Uncle Ning Qishan took out his telephone with a slight doubt.
"Huh? How did this appear?" Ning Qishan looked at the dialer next to the Small Grass Map, and clicked on it with some curiosity.
What appeared was a dialing screen.
Ning Buxiu's explanatory voice emerged: "This is called dialing. As long as you enter the telephone number of someone you know, you can talk to the other party. No matter how far away the other party is from you, you can communicate with them through the telephone."
"You can talk to people far away using this thing?"
"You don't even need to face each other to talk?!"
Eldest Uncle was surprised, with a hint of disbelief.
Ning Buxiu's explanation was simply too incredible.
People talking to each other naturally had to face each other. How could holding this small thing possibly allow communication with people directly, regardless of distance?
"If you don't believe me, Eldest Uncle, you can go to a relatively distant place. I'll call you later," Ning Buxiu patiently explained.
This kind of thing was common sense in modern society.
But for this era, it was understandable that people didn't understand, didn't believe, and even didn't trust it.
Hearing his nephew's words, Ning Qishan hesitated slightly and walked out of the room with the telephone.
He really wanted to see if this thing was as magical as Ning Buxiu boasted.
"Xiuer, let's focus on your map. You haven't even figured out how to sell the map yet, and you've already come up with this thing. You're a bit too impatient," Father Ning Jiushan said earnestly, trying to persuade him.
"That's right. Right now, I think your map should be handled more steadily, take it slowly," Second Uncle said at this point, then continued: "The Zhou family's legitimate son caused such a big incident at the poetry gathering. Now the entire Zhou family's situation has instantly become the most dangerous among our Four Great Families in Five Directions City. The other two great families and the official forces are all eyeing the Zhou family, which has made things much easier for us."
"There's no need to be as anxious as before."
Listening to the words of his two elders, Ning Buxiu, however, showed little emotional change as he picked up a telephone from the side.
Under their gaze, he operated it step by step.
He opened the dialer and clicked on Eldest Uncle's telephone number, which was already recorded.
It was such a simple operation.
The next moment, the telephone screen showed the dialing screen.
On a street a thousand meters away.
Ning Qishan stood among the crowd, looking at the bustling people coming and going, watching them talk face to face, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
How could two people communicate regardless of how far apart they were?
Sending messages by carrier pigeon was more reliable.
As he shook his head slightly, Ning Qishan suddenly felt the piece of beautiful jade, the telephone, on his body vibrate!
While this movement startled him, he took out the telephone.
There were two buttons on the telephone.
Connect, Hang Up.
This telephone really had changed!
His gaze fell on the two buttons above, and Ning Qishan pressed the connect button with a guess.
"Hello, Eldest Uncle, where are you?" Ning Buxiu's voice came directly from the small jade block in his hand.
Hearing this voice, Ning Qishan was stunned.
He looked around, and Ning Buxiu was not around him!
Then how did this voice come about?
"Eldest Uncle, you wouldn't think I came over, would you? I'm sitting on the bed right now and need help to stand up. Do you think I can come to your side to talk?"
Ning Buxiu's nephew's voice appeared again on the telephone.
"Xiuer! Where are you? Are you locked in by this telephone?! Your voice really appeared in my telephone!"
Ning Qishan's hurried voice emerged.
Here in the bedroom, the observing Ning Jiushan and Second Uncle both widened their eyes slightly.
They actually heard Boss's voice through that small square!
Looking outside the door, there was clearly no one!
"Eldest Uncle, where are you?"
"I'm on the street. Right next to the Buxiu Restaurant that you, kid, opened." Ning Qishan's mood calmed down a bit, but his breathing quickened slightly.
What his nephew said was true; he really had created something that allowed people to communicate regardless of distance!
