Chapter 403
Si Tiantian was also working hard while the Huang family's grandfather and grandson were working hard.
According to the Complete Collection of Taoist Talismans, the talismans in this book are divided into three levels according to their power: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
For example, even if Huang Nanchi could draw a lightning talisman that could strike down lightning bolts as thick as a thigh, it could only be considered elementary. When a talisman could strike down 10 lightning bolts as thick as a thigh, it could be considered intermediate. The advanced one was even more amazing. It could disrupt the celestial phenomena, with lightning striking half of the sky, and it could last for a period of time. This was called an advanced lightning talisman.
Si Tiantian is still at the beginner level. The lightning talisman she drew before could strike down six lightning bolts as thick as thighs. Now that she has time, she plans to upgrade her talisman drawing ability to the intermediate level.
She sat at the table, took her stance, concentrated her attention, and then drew a lightning talisman in one go with her pen, and then she couldn't wait to try it out.
"Boom——"
Seven lightning bolts as thick as thighs struck down from the sky.
The rooster Dahong, who was holding his head high, was so scared that his neck shrank and he couldn't hold his head up anymore.
Si Tiantian scratched her head and thought it was not enough, so she continued drawing.
After drawing it, he threw it again, and this time eight lightning bolts as thick as thighs struck down.
The big red one tucked its wings and squatted quietly, so well-behaved.jpg.
Wang Wenyuan, who was not far away, also squatted down, as quiet as a chicken.
Si Tiantian still felt unsatisfied and continued to draw...
So the whole afternoon, except for a short period of silence when someone came to buy talismans, there were constant thunder explosions over the Si family's house, one rumbling sound after another. If you didn't know, you would think that this family had done something bad and was struck by lightning.
Fortunately, the people who came to buy the talisman promoted it, saying that Si Tiantian was trying out the thunder and lightning talisman. This made the eyes of those watching the excitement turn into envy, jealousy and hatred. However, the energy absorbed by customers after the thunder explosion demonstration was still very good. Just for this power, who wouldn’t want to get one!
That day, most of the people in Wolong Bay came to the Si family and bought a few talismans to take back. Those with more cash bought Si Tiantian's talismans, while those with less money bought Huang Nanchi or Old Man Huang's.
Si Tiantian made a lot of money, and the Huang family's grandfather and grandson also benefited from it.
Of course, what made Si Tiantian happiest was that she successfully drew an intermediate talisman, so the price of the talisman could be raised again.
By the time they finished drawing the talisman and the Huang family came out of the Si family, the blood moon had already risen in the sky.
At the door of the Si family's house, the Huang family's grandfather and grandson said goodbye to Si Tiantian with gratitude on their faces and agreed to come again tomorrow.
"Hiss—why is the wind so cold? Isn't it only September?"
Wang Wenyuan shrank his neck, hugged his weak wife beside him, and said worriedly, "Wife, are you cold? I'll carry you back."
Mr. Huang also rubbed his arms and frowned, "It's indeed a bit cold. This weather is not right."
Si Tiantian, who was wearing a constant temperature suit and couldn't feel the cold or heat, was stunned after listening to their words. The book seemed to have written that there was a rapid drop in temperature not long after the strange thing came, and many people were frozen to death in their sleep.
"and many more--"
Si Tiantian shouted hurriedly.
Mr. Huang stopped and turned to look at her. "What's wrong, girl? Is there anything else?"
Si Tiantian reminded, "After this strange event arrives, the weather might change as well. It's better to be careful. Since you guys are feeling cold now, Grandpa Huang, the temperature might actually drop. You should prepare some extra blankets at night, or turn on the air conditioner when you sleep."
"Good good."
Old Master Huang and Huang Nanchi nodded repeatedly. Wang Wenyuan felt that the elder's reminder was very meaningful and took it as a guiding principle. He planned to get thick quilts for all his elders when he returned to be prepared for any eventuality.
After returning to the house, Si Tiantian also reminded the Si family about the drop in temperature.
"Make a phone call and remind that kid Si Qian."
Uncle Si Xianzhi spoke.
Si Huaizhi and Li Yunlan were both stunned and didn't react for a moment. Who was Si Qian?
Then he thought, wow, isn’t that their second son who passed away and hasn’t been heard from for a long time?
Si Tiantian also scratched her head, almost forgetting about her second brother.
This second brother is really awesome. After the strange thing happened, he didn't go home but just reported that he was safe. It is said that he is still staying in the laboratory doing research. He is a research maniac who even disregards his life for research.
Li Yunlan felt a little guilty and quickly called Si Qian. She felt relieved only after confirming that he was safe.
In the laboratory.
"Senior Qian, did your family call?"
asked a graduate student wearing glasses.
Si Qian was still immersed in his research, and without even looking up, he said, "Yeah, they said the temperature is likely to drop tomorrow, so I should be careful. You guys should be careful too. The air conditioner in this lab needs to be turned on tonight to prevent the things in the petri dishes from freezing."
"I see, Senior Qian. By the way, Senior Qian, the professor said that the Jian family in Beijing is interested in investing in several of our research labs and wants to invite us to move to Beijing. Then we can directly join the Jian family's largest private research institute, the Jianke Research Institute. Professor Li next door has already agreed today, and it is said that they will be taken to Beijing in a few days.
Ma Xingchen was so cocky today, saying our professor is incompetent and that you have no future following him. He was mocking our professor and you, Senior Qian, both openly and covertly.
Since entering the academy, Ma Xingchen and Si Qian have been called the twin stars of the academy because of his intelligence and good grades. However, in reality, he is always a little worse than Si Qian. No matter whether it is exams or other competitions, he is always ranked second. Therefore, he and Si Qian do not get along well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sworn enemies.
Si Qian frowned. The Jianke Research Institute was indeed very famous in the past, but he never thought about going there. His family was rich, so wouldn't it be nice for him to invest in a research institute and carry out projects himself?
But now it is the end of the world, and there is no trace of his own private research institute. It is indeed possible to do better research in other mature research institutes, but the location is in Beijing, so he has to think about it. After all, his family is in Hangzhou, and now it is the end of the world, and transportation is inconvenient. What if he goes there and can never come back?
He frowned and hesitated.
"Senior Qian, what do you think? You are our professor's most proud student. If you want to go, the professor will definitely not think twice and will agree directly. Then everyone in our laboratory can go with you."
Si Qian frowned, hesitant, "How long do we have to consider this invitation?"
"It's said to be 10 days."
"Okay, there's still time. Let me think about it. Let's make this E-class sonic driver first."
"Okay, but Senior, can our research really succeed? The first experiment this morning not only failed to drive away the ghosts, but also attracted a D-class giant ghost. Our field team who went to the experiment was almost trampled to death. Luckily, your sister and Mr. Jian passed by and rescued them, otherwise we would have been in trouble. When the field team came back, they spit in my face. Senior Qian, you are lucky that your sister helped you, so those people didn't get to you."
