Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1258 602: Dark Bridge (This Chapter Is Nuclear)_5

Seeing He Jiaqing's sincere attitude, He Yuxiu agreed, and the next morning, she handed the items over to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng didn't mind the lack of quantity, returned to Yuezhou that day, and gave the items to Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye was overjoyed: "Brother, how much did these two items cost? I surely can't let you spend so much."

Li Banfeng replied truthfully: "He Jiaqing didn't ask for money. He wants some leniency. If the leniency goes smoothly, perhaps we can retrieve a few more items."

Shen Jingye thought it over and called Liao Zihui the same day.

The two talked for half an hour and settled the matter. Liao Zihui contacted the Border Defense Envoy of the Ink Shop and allowed a factory under Duan Shuqun to resume operations.

Since He Jiaqing was wanted, this factory had been closed until now. Now that it's finally operational, Duan Shuqun was overjoyed and immediately shared the good news with He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing sat in the pawnshop's warehouse and opened the box again.

The information obtained by the hook confirmed that Li Banfeng was indeed reconciling accounts with the Dark Star Bureau.

The news from the factory confirmed that the reward for reconciling accounts was very generous.

He Jiaqing took out six more carriers and handed them over to He Yuxiu that night.

This time, he didn't attach a hook. He knew that the hook would eventually be discovered by the Dark Star Bureau. The necessary verification was already done; he didn't need to damage the hard-won mutual understanding for insignificant matters.

He Yuxiu looked at these six carriers and frowned: "When will you stop dragging your feet with these useless things?"

He Jiaqing laughed: "Aren't I gradually retrieving them? I still need to trouble my aunt to put in a few more good words."

The next day, Li Banfeng received these six carriers. One of them was a dark yellow stone with green specks.

"Husband, this is a Lie Root Stone!" The phonograph was very excited.

Li Banfeng said, "This is one of the items sent by He Jiaqing. Check first to see if there are any hooks on it."

"Little Servant has checked, there are no hooks. Little Servant will start now and install this stone on the Dark Bridge Cannon!"

Li Banfeng handed the remaining item carriers to Shen Jingye, who then contacted Liao Zihui again, freeing three more businesses under He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing was delighted and hurriedly delivered more items to He Yuxiu.

This time, Li Banfeng didn't rush. He had some legitimate work to do.

With all the experimental equipment ready, Li Banfeng brought along his family to assist his wife.

After working for three whole days, the Dark Bridge Cannon was completed.

Li Banfeng went to Bei Wushuang's territory, which was the most desolate among all the territories he controlled, as there were no Strange Monsters here.

Li Banfeng entered a Pine Forest and first brought his wife and the Dark Bridge Cannon out of the house.

Then he used the Door-Closing Technique to create a halo around him.

The Light Halo from Home Cultivation was very similar to a Boundary in nature. Li Banfeng used the same old method to experiment by replacing the Boundary with the halo.

The phonograph inspected the Dark Bridge Cannon, ensuring everything was correct. But before the experiment began, the phonograph still had some concerns.

"Husband, the Craftsmanship Method for the Dark Bridge Cannon is too complicated. Little Servant is worried there might be errors. Please be extremely careful during the experiment."

"Don't worry, my wife. I am well-prepared." Li Banfeng also brought two Cabbage People, planning to let them explore the path first.

His wife closed the first knife gate, charging the electromagnetic instrument, and the Dark Bridge Cannon fired its first shot, casting a shadow on the halo.

"Husband, this shadow is the entrance to the first layer of the Dark Bridge." After speaking, his wife closed the second knife gate, charging the Lie Root Stone, and the Dark Bridge Cannon fired a second shot, embedding another shadow within the shadow.

"Husband, this is the entrance to the second layer of the Dark Bridge."

Li Banfeng asked, "Why make two layers of the Dark Bridge?"

"The first layer of the Dark Bridge is real, made with a magnetic field, allowing you to enter the wormhole,

the second layer is virtual, created with the illusionary realm of the Lie Root Stone, enabling you to exit the wormhole and cross the Boundary using this wormhole."

Li Banfeng called one of the Cabbage People, directing him towards the shadow.

The moment the Cabbage Person passed through the shadow, he turned into a pile of ash, just like an ordinary person crossing a Boundary.

The phonograph's heart chilled: "It seems this thing still isn't working."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Wife, don't worry. Wait a bit longer. The halo I created with my Technique wouldn't let the Cabbage Person turn to ash this quickly."

After waiting for two minutes, outside the halo, about ten meters away, the Cabbage Person staggered and slowly appeared!

Li Banfeng was overjoyed, hugging his wife: "Success, my beloved wife, our Dark Bridge Cannon is a success!"

His wife was also happy and pulled Li Banfeng's head into the Big Horn, dancing the waltz with him for half an hour.

The next night, Li Banfeng arrived at Hemp Bamboo Mountain, ready to conduct the second round of experiments.

This time, he intended to cross a real Boundary, the one between Greenwater Bay and Medicine King Valley.

The phonograph prepared the Dark Bridge Cannon, setting up two Dark Bridges in succession.

Li Banfeng once again let the Cabbage People lead the way. The Cabbage People entered the wormhole, and after two minutes, appeared ten meters away.

The phonograph explained: "Husband, no matter which Boundary we cross, our Dark Bridge leads to the same wormhole. Whatever it was yesterday, it still is today. No need to worry."

Despite the reassurance, when it was time for Li Banfeng to go himself, the phonograph's heart remained apprehensive.

Li Banfeng took out a key from his pocket and handed it to the phonograph: "Wife, if I can't come back, remember to go home yourself."

The phonograph pushed the key back to Li Banfeng: "Don't talk nonsense! If you can't come back, Little Servant will go with you, no matter where, no matter when, we husband and wife will be together!"

Li Banfeng nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the shadow.

As he stepped onto the shadow, it was as if he was pushing open an ancient door, dust spewing from the door panel, causing him to cough.

This was the source of the ashes!

Li Banfeng's body merged into the shadow. Instead of darkness, there was a faint light ahead, illuminating the path.

The path seemed paved with dust particles, extremely fine, yet it was remarkably solid underfoot.

Li Banfeng looked up but couldn't see the end of the road. He was cautious not to veer off as he didn't know what might happen.

After just over a minute of walking, Li Banfeng suddenly heard someone speaking: "Master, it seems someone else has arrived."

Following the sound, Li Banfeng saw a man in white robes on his left, looking towards him curiously.

Isn't this supposed to be a wormhole?

Why are there people in a wormhole?

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

In his astonishment, Li Banfeng heard more words.

"How strange, I also sense someone's presence, but why can't I see them?"

Following the voice again, Li Banfeng saw a Crane, taller than a person, conversing with the man in white.
