The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 192 The story before departure
Ashley's words are not unreasonable, but Leon cannot predict the future. His original intention of collecting crystal dew drops was to use them for his own people, and he had no intention of taking them out at first.

"I only thought of this after hearing you talk about setting up a company, so strictly speaking, your plan is very useful."

Hearing what he said, Ashley put on a helpless expression that said, "There's nothing I can do about you."

"I want to take one of the elixir bottles and conduct a simple analysis and research on the ingredients inside to test the maximum efficacy and duration. Once I have the results, I can fill it into red wine."

Li Ang understood what she meant and nodded in agreement.

The physiques of the people on earth and those in the borderland are different. What is an ordinary elixir in the borderland is like the Shiquan Dabu Pill on earth. The effect of the medicine is too powerful and overbearing.

It must be diluted before it can be taken into the mouth, otherwise it will be easily exhausted and the body will explode and die.

It's like drinking concentrated Coca-Cola puree directly. Even if you don't die completely, you will die half-death.

Only by analyzing the human body's tolerance to the elixir through scientific means can we determine the most appropriate dilution ratio. At the same time, the filled red wine can be divided into different specifications based on the dilution ratio and sold to businessmen and politicians with different social status.

Otherwise, it will be easy to get into the situation of 'how dare you use the same grade as me'.

Li Ang could even think of who Ashley would find to research and analyze the elixir.

Rebecca.

There are ready-made drugs that experts in the field do not use, which is a bit of a waste.

So he simply picked out a few crystal dew drops of various types and gave them to Ashley.

"After the crystal is put into the elixir bottle, it will be automatically mixed into the elixir."

"But for the specific effects that each elixir will have on the human body, I have to trouble you to go in and test them one by one. I can only provide a general direction."

"The same goes for everyone else. If you are interested, just take a few and play with them. I have many more here."

After hearing this, the mother and daughter of the Di family took a bottle of elixir and a few crystals each. They didn't care what the efficacy of the medicine was. The main thing was to see whether the color and appearance of the crystals were pretty.

Ashley ended up taking most of it, emptying her carry-on bag to barely fit it in.

"It seems you've made a fortune in just two weeks without seeing me."

"Let me remind you, if you get something similar in the future, you can show it to me first. It may be helpful to our plan."

A smart woman never asks where things come from, she only says: I will keep them for you.

"I know." Li Ang responded.

After putting away her luxury handbag filled with priceless treasures, Ashley thought of something she had overlooked before.

"We should set up another private security company, like the Umbrella Corporation's UBCS (Emergency Countermeasures Corps), to protect our company's property."

"I happen to know a lot of US military officers and CIA agents, and I can directly contact them to recruit retired soldiers or agents."

"If those field agents had a chance to retire."

The president's daughter finally sneered at the Federal Intelligence Agency, which often offends and kills people, indicating that she is in a pretty good mood now.

Li Ang thought for a moment and said: "The security company is necessary, but recruiting people is not needed for the time being. I have other arrangements."

Archina then asked: "Are you planning to use viruses to cultivate biochemical soldiers or werewolves like Miranda and Heisenberg?"

Ashley couldn't help but frown when she heard what Madam said. She didn't like using viruses to control other people.

After all, the experience in Spain 14 years ago is still vivid in my mind.

Li Ang would not use such low-level methods, so he explained to the girls: "I just said that I would go out for a while, and I should be able to bring back a lot of good things like this time. In addition to solving the company's future transformation into the medical field, Maybe it can also help with the construction of security companies.”

"So the recruitment can be slowed down for now, and we can wait until I come back."

The girls roughly understood what he meant, but the third lady said coldly: "Where are we going this time, the United States? New York?"

Ashley asked in surprise: "When have you been to New York?"

Li Ang suddenly looked embarrassed. He had been to New York, but unfortunately it was the New York of "The Originals of Murder".

Before leaving, Daniela, who was also going out, said she would go to New York to find him. The result was as you can imagine, it was him who let others go.

No wonder he could always feel a strong sense of resentment in the third lady when he came back this time.

"It is true that I am going to the United States, but not New York, but a place called Night City."

As an old American Stars and Stripes person, Ashley couldn't remember where this place was after thinking for a long time. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "I think you need to find time to explain to me. You often go out and are unwilling to reveal your true whereabouts. The reason."

Archina and Bella more or less knew the secret of Leon's ability to travel to other worlds, and it was really inappropriate to only hide it from Ashley.

Therefore, Li Ang agreed: "I will tell you when I have a chance."

The president's daughter calmed down after getting the promise.

Later, he and the girls refined the valley development plan and finalized what could be determined in the early stage. The next step was to implement it step by step.

Nearing the end of the night, this internal meeting related to everyone's future came to an end.

Since the process was rather boring, the eldest lady, who was not interested in this aspect, had already fallen asleep in Li Ang's arms.

Aqina couldn't help but start to yawn: "That's it for tonight, Daniela, send Miss Ashley back to the guest room."

The third lady immediately stood up from the sofa: "Yes, mother."

"Come with me, Miss Ashley."

"I'll see you off." Li Ang gently put Bella in his arms on the sofa: "I just have something to talk to her about."

Daniella turned to look at her mother.

Aqina looked at him suspiciously and asked meaningfully: "Just chatting and nothing else?"

As soon as these words came out, Ashley blushed instantly and stood there helplessly.

Although she is older now, she is still an inexperienced little girl and cannot withstand the madam's harsh words.

Li Ang looked dumbfounded: "Where are you thinking? It's really just a chat."

The lady hummed noncommittally: "It's up to you. Anyway, you can't do anything you want to do. Because one more person suddenly arrived and there was no time to prepare a new guest room, I arranged Professor Rebecca to Miss Ashley's room. .”

"So, some people must not disturb the professor's rest~"

There are enough guest rooms in the castle to accommodate ten more people. To prepare and clean up, you only need to ask the maid below. Aqina clearly did this on purpose.

"I know, I'm measured." Li Ang smiled helplessly.

He had no intention of sharing a room with Ashley tonight. The two of them had agreed before (mainly because of Ashley's strong request) to wait until their new home in the valley was built.

Moreover, Bella suffered a great injustice today and had to stay with her.

"Then Ashley and I are leaving first." Li Ang took the slightly heavy handbag of the president's daughter: "Please, two sisters, please give your sister a gift. I will go back later."

Aqina waved her hand impatiently: "Get out of my sight quickly. Bella doesn't need you to worry about it. Do I want my daughter to sleep on the sofa?"

Daniella jumped up and down in front of Li Ang and stretched out her white and tender hands.

"Reward, brother-in-law, if you want our sisters to listen to you, we must pay accordingly."

Cassandra nodded silently.

Li Ang slapped away the third lady's claws that almost reached into his eyes: "Okay, okay, I'll get back to you later."

Only then did the two sisters let him go with satisfaction.

After leaving the madam's boudoir, Leon found Elena still guarding the door: "We are done, you should go back and rest early."

The little maid rubbed her sore eyes: "The reception room has not been cleaned yet. I will go to rest after cleaning." Finally, she did not forget to bow and said: "Thank you, sir, for your concern."

Li Ang didn't persuade him any more and took Ashley to the guest room.

Halfway through, Ashley suddenly said: "Mr. Li Ang, you are so beautiful. Even the maid at home looks like this."

Li Ang replied without changing his expression: "To each other, Miss Ashley."

"?" Ashley pinched the soft flesh around his waist: "What do you mean?"

Li Ang grabbed the president's daughter's mischievous hand and intertwined his fingers with it: "I'm praising myself for being handsome, don't you hear it?"

Ashley laughed out loud: "You are really not ashamed."

Li Ang said confidently: "You can't catch the president's daughter if you are thin-skinned."

"It's the former president." Ashley emphasized specifically: "And have you chased me? It was obviously me who confessed to you first, okay?"

"When I think about it carefully, I feel that I am at a great loss. I was deceived by you so easily."

Li Ang retorted with an exaggerated expression: "You can't lie or not, we are running in both directions!"

Ashley reached out and pinched his nose: "Strong words."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the door of the guest room.

Li Ang took out two talismans that he had prepared long ago and put them into Ashley's palm: "It's too late and I won't go in. These two things are the gifts I brought you when I came back this time."

"The stargazing girl improves her intelligence, and the dragon emblem shield reduces damage."

After saying this, he thought about it and took out another talisman: "Pearl Dragon Emblem, Dragon Emblem Large Shield reduces physical damage. It reduces all damage except physical damage."

"Take them all and be prepared."

Ashley could hardly let go of her hands and joked: "Are you going to push me into the fire pit? Give me so many protective items."

Li Ang was about to open his mouth to explain, but she interrupted: "I know what you mean."

"Thank you, I like the gift very much."

After that, he kissed Li Ang gently on the corner of his mouth.

Ashley has only experienced the initial fungal infection and the strengthening of blood power. Her strength is much weaker than that of Aqina and her daughter. In addition, she does not like fighting, so the items given to her are items with better protective effects. .

There are two legendary items alone.

Li Ang is indeed somewhat biased in this regard.

Of course, just strengthening the defense is not enough. In the future, he will also let Ashley learn prayer and pyroxene magic.

"Then I'll go ahead and see you tomorrow."

Ashley carefully stored the three amulets close to her body and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself.

Immediately afterwards, Ada walked out: "If you two don't go in, what are you talking about here?"

Li Ang repeated the reason just now: "It's too late, I'm afraid it will disturb your rest."

Ada showed disdain: "You are pretending to be a gentleman at this time. Come in, the professor and I are not asleep yet."

After that, she turned and returned to the room.

The two people outside the door looked at each other. Ashley smiled and winked at Leon: "Let's go."

After entering, Rebecca was indeed still asleep, holding coffee in her hand and a laptop on the table in front of her.

He was staring listlessly at the screen, and his short brown hair had lost the luster it had during the day.

Ashley was very worried when she saw this, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Professor, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's Ashley." Rebecca's reaction seemed a little slow: "I'm fine, I didn't get jet lag before, and I drank some wine today, which gave me a headache."

Aunt Wang filled a glass of water for the two people who had just entered the door, and added: "The professor said she didn't plan to sleep tonight. She will wait until the jet lag is reversed. She is struggling now."

As soon as Li Ang heard that the opportunity had come, he immediately winked at Ashley.

Ashley understood instantly, took out a green crystal dew drop from her bag and put it into the elixir bottle. After shaking it evenly, she poured a drop into the water Ada gave her just now.

Then he handed the cup to the confused Rebecca: "Professor, this is a medicine that can restore energy. I have been using it, and the effect is very good. Please try it."

Ada next to her looked at the embarrassing couple with her eyes.

It's okay to just take the medicine.

However, she knew that Li Ang and the others would not poison anyone, so she did not say anything.

Rebecca had great trust in Ashley and Ada, and because her mind was really not clear, she took the cup and took a big sip without thinking.

After drinking it, he remembered it. He took the cup and looked at it carefully: "How can there be such sweet medicine? Are you being raped?"

Before he finished speaking, a warm feeling spread throughout his limbs.

Rebecca's eyes, which were extremely decadent a second ago, suddenly became bright and clear. "Wait a minute, there seems to be something in this medicine."

"Which company, what brand, the effect is so good, it's immediate!"

"Do you have the ingredient list? Let me see it."

When Ashley heard this, she was immediately possessed by the movie queen, with a troubled expression on her face. She turned to look at her boyfriend, as if hesitating whether to say anything.

Li Ang also seemed to have made a decision that went against his ancestors, his expression was full of hesitation.

"To be honest, this medicine is my family's ancestral secret recipe."

"Secret recipe passed down from generation to generation?" Rebecca frowned, turned the cup over and over, and finally got closer to smell it.

"First of all, as a scientific researcher, I have the responsibility to remind you."

"Old does not necessarily mean good. After all, it is something that is put into the stomach. It is best to be tested before taking it."

After a pause, she added: "It seems that it is necessary for me to conduct a comprehensive physical examination."

"However, the effect of the medicine is indeed very good. At least so far, my body has not experienced any adverse reactions."

At this time, Ashley walked around behind Rebecca and tapped her shoulders diligently.

"Professor, my original intention is actually to ask you to help test the ingredients inside. Li Ang and I plan to open a pharmaceutical company to sell this kind of medicine. We also want to hire you as the company's consultant."

Rebecca looked at the president's daughter who smiled like a little fox and was stunned for a moment.

"I thought you were giving me medicine out of kindness, but it turned out you were playing tricks on me."

Taking advantage of her young age, Ashley hugged Rebecca and started acting coquettishly: "I'm sorry, sister Rebecca."

"We really don't know what to say to you, so we have no choice but to make this decision. Can you please forgive us?"

Li Ang always felt that he had seen this scene not long ago.

Rebecca wasn't actually angry either: "Then just tell me and don't drug me directly."

Ashley said plausibly: "If you don't take a sip yourself, how would you know how effective it is."

Rebecca was speechless for a moment, it seemed to be the truth.

"Okay, take out the things. I'm fresh now and can help you do a simple test."

The various instruments she brought have already been moved to the room, so it is very convenient.

Ashley obediently picked up her handbag and dumped the contents onto the bed.

For a moment, big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate.

"So many!" Rebecca picked up a crystal: "And this thing."

"It looks like some kind of mineral or gem." Ada bent down and picked up a crystal that rolled to her feet and said, "It doesn't look like medicine."

Rebecca shrugged: "She said what I wanted to say."

"Besides this, you need to understand that even if this thing is medicine and has positive effects on the human body, it will be difficult to get a batch number for sale."

"Not to mention you have so many kinds."

Ashley was putting crystals into the elixir bottle at this time, and Li Ang answered for her:
"It is indeed difficult to launch new drugs, but what if we sell health products, such as red wine with health effects, and we do not plan to sell to the public for the time being, and only do business with regular customers."

Rebecca's eyes lit up: "Yeah! This is a good idea, it can perfectly circumvent supervision."

"In this case, I have to test it carefully. I hope there will be no harmful ingredients in it, otherwise you won't even be able to pass my test."

Li Ang said confidently: "Just test it. Since we dare to come to you, it means there will definitely be no problem with this medicine."

"I like your confidence." Rebecca stood up and started tinkering with her equipment: "If you want to chat, please keep your voice down, so as not to disturb my work."

"By the way, I need your blood sample. Let's analyze it together."

"Ada, do me a favor." She handed the sample-taking tool to Aunt Wang: "Ashley's, too. She should also have drank that kind of medicine."

Several people in the room were turned around under the command of Rebecca who was in the state.

Ada took the tool and came to Li Ang, who had rolled up his sleeves: "You seem to be quite skilled. Have you sold blood before?"

"I guess I have to stay up late with you today. Do you still have the medicine? Give me a sip."

Li Ang asked Ashley to make her a glass of energy dew drops: "It's really strange that there are people vying to be the guinea pigs to test the medicine."

"Shut up." Ada retaliated by inserting the needle into the blood vessel.

"I'm sorry. I'm not a professional nurse after all. The technique may be a little rough. Just bear with it and you'll be fine soon."

Li Ang, who felt no pain, raised his eyebrows: "Revenge does not last overnight, I like your attitude."

"I apologize again, because I don't like you." Aunt Wang took the cup handed over by Ashley: "Just look at him, and just call me when it's full."

"It's full!" Li Ang looked at the sample bag with an unknown capacity: "When it's full, I will become a mummy."

"What does it have to do with me?" After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she walked away with her head held high.

Ashley watched her go away with a smile, then sat next to Li Ang and asked curiously: "Why are you and Ada always bickering, since the first time you met? Can't you just have a calm chat?"

Li Ang stretched out and hugged the waist of the president's daughter: "Obviously, she has a problem with the two of us, one of us is single, and she is jealous of our sincere relationship."

Hearing this, Ada, who had already left, stepped back: "Bah, am I jealous of you?"

"But you are right about something. I do have a problem with you, and it has nothing to do with Ashley."

With that said, he suddenly pulled out the needle on Li Ang's arm.

The wound healed in the blink of an eye, and Aunt Wang showed a disappointed expression. The blood splatter she most wanted to see did not appear.

"Ada, please be gentle." Ashley rubbed her boyfriend's arm distressedly.

Li Ang leaned on her shoulder, looking aggrieved that I was hurt.

Seeing this, Ada couldn't help but sigh: "Ashley, you are hopeless. Now that he has sold you, I guess you will happily help him count the money."

Ashley couldn't help laughing and said: "It's too exaggerated. How could I be that stupid?"

While chatting, Rebecca, who was working hard, suddenly looked up: "Quiet everyone, I said I need a good working environment."

The three fell silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, Li Ang whispered: "If it's nothing to do with me, I'll go back first."

Ashley kissed his cheek: "Go and go to bed early."

"You too." Li Ang stood up, quietly left the room, and gently closed the door.

After he left, Ada said while drawing Ashley's blood: "My room next door is still empty. If you are sleepy, you can go and rest. I will keep an eye on the professor."

Ashley refused: "No, I'll go with you."

There was some disdain on Ada's face: "We are working hard here to help him, but it would be better for him to escape first."

Ashley is also a little melancholy now: "I can't help it, there's a whole family over there."

"Sooner or later he will be exhausted to death!" Aunt Wang said viciously.

On the other side, the hands-off shopkeeper Li Ang returned to his room. When he opened the door, he saw that the three sisters were sleeping soundly.

He did not choose to join this time, quietly exited and went to Madam's house instead.

Aqina had fallen asleep, but he woke her up again: "Hey, you are such a rare visitor, what kind of wind brought you here."

"Could it be that you were too rough and scared Miss Ashley?"

Li Ang climbed onto the bed, returned to his original body, and held the gentle lady in his arms: "Don't talk nonsense, we are innocent."

For Aqina, the feeling of being hugged by someone was quite novel, and she felt a sense of happiness.

"There's actually nothing wrong with being older," she said with emotion.

Li Ang strongly agreed: "Of course, more is beautiful, big is better!"

"I always feel that there is something in your words." Mrs. Bachi, who had always been aloof, now turned into a little woman, with a slightly coquettish voice: "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Good night." Li Ang buried his head in his lady's smooth hair.

"Good night." Aqina adjusted her posture, moved closer to him, and then fell asleep.

Nothing to say all night, three poles in the sun.

From the moment he opened his eyes the next day, Li Ang found that the whole world had changed.

He seemed to be collectively ostracized by the women around him.

It may be a bit inaccurate to say that he is being excluded. The most accurate way to say it is that the girls have no time to care about him at all.

Aqina is busy leading the villagers to cultivate new vineyards and brew new wine.

It is foreseeable that the demand for various types of red wine will be huge in the future. As the most basic part of the entire plan, she cannot let it slip.

The three sisters were busy learning to pray and stayed in the library almost every day, causing the whole castle to become quite quiet.

Donna had already closed the door and thanked the guests, skipping the conversation.

After careful analysis of the elixirs, Rebecca also discovered many miraculous effects besides their own medicinal effects. She excitedly told Leon that these medicines are likely to set off another change in human society.

So she not only took a long leave from the university where she taught, but also planned to stay in the valley until the research results were obtained.

As for Ashley, as the chief architect of the valley development plan, she is so busy every day that she never sees anyone.

In the morning, I was still in the valley planning the terrain and selecting the company's site. In the afternoon, I might go outside the valley to deal with the builders and order the required materials.

In order to protect her safety, Ada could only follow her everywhere.

Now the most leisurely person in the whole valley is Li Ang.

He wanted to help the girls, but he was usually coaxed away before long.

Basically, they thought he was joking and joking, delaying the work progress.

Because he was really bored, Li Ang had no choice but to go into the bacteria network to find Miranda, wanting to see what was going on over there.

Although the Mother Goddess is also very busy.

But at least there is a place where he can be used.

coax children.

In this way, Li Ang played happily with Eva for several days.

In the end, even Eva felt that it was too decadent to continue like this, and one day she asked him: "Dad, don't you need to go to work?"

Li Ang knew that he was being disliked again.

The old mother returned the precious girl to her and left the bacterial net in despair.

Now, only Xiaomei can give him some psychological comfort.

Unexpectedly, he entered the Great Blessing, only to find that Melina was not there either, and left him a note for Bayek, who was responsible for staying behind, to deliver it to him.

[I'm going to visit the border area. Don't worry, I brought Dixi with me. There won't be any danger. Don't think about it. ]
Previously, he was afraid that Melina would feel lonely alone in the Great Blessing, so Li Ang gave her the Soul Summoning Bell. If she was really bored, he could chat with the two legendary ashes.

In the end, he was the one who ended up alone.

So half a month, three days and 17 hours after his return, Li Ang was forced to start the next journey.

Since the difficulty of the dungeon was not particularly high, he didn't prepare anything in particular.

Bring the Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea and Moon Shadow knives to deal with those who don't have eyesight, and bring the Holy Grail bottle and the elixir bottle to save those who are pleasing to the eye.

The Wolfsbane and Broken-Wing Butterfly that have not been used for a long time are also put into the equipment slot, and go to the dungeon to find someone to modify them.

The rest will not be used for the time being, so put them in the Great Blessing first.

In the end, Li Ang took off the aristocratic dress that his wife insisted on him to wear, and put on a casual outfit that didn't look so eye-catching to reduce the sense of disobedience.

After preparing everything, he lay down on the bed in the bedroom and slowly closed his eyes.

"Night City, here I come!"
