Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1469

There was also a protrusion on the side of the cylinder that looked like a button, but Shen Lin wasn't sure.

Just as he was wondering what this thing was for, Wei Wu suddenly grasped it between his fingers and pressed the button.

Suddenly, a red light appeared in the hole at the top of the metal cylinder, but it was just a red light.

Completely baffled as to what this thing was, Shen Lin asked directly.

"Young master, what is this thing, and what is its purpose?"

Hearing Shen Lin's question, Wei Wu chuckled, then shook his hand and said:

"This thing is called a laser pointer. As for its function, you can look back at what's on the wall behind you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin immediately turned to look at the wall behind him, only to see a small red dot moving around on the wall.

Upon seeing this, Shen Lin immediately understood that this thing was launched from the one in Wei Wu's hand.

Before he could ask again, Wei Wu explained directly:

“This laser pointer can shoot out a red line, and it can travel a very long distance. You can use it to respond to Master Zheng.”

“If Master Zheng tries to say something to you through the listening device, you can use this to respond. Don’t you still have a telescope?”

"Just use the telescope to aim, and then shine this laser pointer directly into Master Zheng's eyes. He should understand."

Wei Wu trusted Zheng Shiye very much, after all, the man was intelligent and had been by his side for so long.

Once Master Zheng found an opportunity to spread the news, his eyes immediately flashed with a red light, and he could easily deduce the answer.

After hearing Wei Wu's instructions, Shen Lin immediately reached out and took the laser pointer, then tried it out on the wall.

It must be said that this thing was indeed interesting to an ancient person, so much so that Shen Lin instinctively played with it a few more times.

To this, Wei Wu chuckled and said with a hint of jokingness:

"Alright, you'll have plenty of time to play later. Now, go back and keep watch. Master Zheng will start experiencing drug reactions tomorrow."

"But everyone's metabolic capacity is different, and no one can say for sure when the reaction will occur. What if Master Zheng appears earlier?"

"I wanted to tell you the details, but it's troublesome that you're not here. Go over there quickly and let me know on the walkie-talkie as soon as you have any news."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin did not hesitate and immediately nodded solemnly, saying:

"Yes, Master!"

After giving a reply, Shen Lin did not stay in the ward any longer and quickly returned to the restaurant near Master Zheng's residence to keep an eye on things.

For the rest of the night, Shen Lin leaned back in his chair and pretended to sleep, but he did not let his guard down and kept the terminal in his hand the whole time.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and there was no news from Master Zheng's side; everything was very peaceful.

As the night passed and the sun broke through the darkness, Shen Lin vaguely heard Zheng Shiye's voice coming from the terminal.

However, it wasn't a voice at first, but a sound like gagging, but you could still tell that he was in a lot of pain.

After a few retching sounds, Master Zheng's voice finally came through.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling dizzy, nauseous, weak all over, and extremely exhausted?!"

No sooner had Master Zheng finished speaking than Xiao Jinghai's gloating and sarcastic voice rang out.

"Why? That's because the pill you swallowed is starting to take effect! Isn't this medicine interesting?"

"Let me tell you, the medicine you took is called Seven Days of Floating Life. There is no effect at first, until the third day of taking the medicine."

"After the drug takes effect, the person taking it will be like a drunkard, and eventually fall into a deep sleep as time goes by."

"This is the cult leader's exclusive secret medicine, enjoy it! Enjoy one of the few remaining moments of your life!"

After hearing Xiao Jinghai's words, Master Zheng forced himself to stay alert, staring intently at him as he said:

"No, I won't die! The cult leader said that as long as I do what I'm supposed to do, he'll give me the antidote!"

"cut!"

After Master Zheng finished speaking, a hint of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on Xiao Jinghai's face, and then he pouted and said:

"I don't know what the leader saw in you. If you ask me, a traitor like you doesn't deserve the Seven Days of Floating Life."

"We should capture you and hang you in mid-air to whip you to death, or throw you into a snake pit or insect nest to suffer endless torture until you die!"

The conversation from the terminal ended there; neither Master Zheng nor Xiao Jinghai spoke again.

However, Shen Lin knew very well that the words that came from the terminal just now were spoken to him by Master Zheng.

So after the conversation with Master Zheng ended, Shen Lin immediately reported the news to Wei Wu without saying a word.

Upon learning the details of the seven days of life, Wei Wu immediately lay down on his sickbed and practiced falling into a coma.

Subsequently, Zheng Shiye would occasionally find excuses to pass messages to Shen Lin.

Each time, Master Zheng would act as if he were afraid of death, crying and describing his symptoms.

Xiao Jinghai didn't notice anything amiss; he just felt even more contempt for Master Zheng's cowardice.

To save his own life, he first betrayed the White Lotus Sect and joined Wei Wu, and then betrayed Wei Wu again to save his own life. He was a complete villain.

In this way, thanks to Zheng Shiye's flawless acting skills, Wei Wu learned about all of his uncomfortable symptoms.

Wei Wu memorized all the details and practiced the appearance of various symptoms repeatedly while on his sickbed.

Everything is ready. Now all we need to do is wait for the drug to take effect, and then we can put on a show together.

Time passed slowly under these circumstances, just when everyone thought everything was ready except for the final push.

The White Lotus Taoist actually appeared at Master Zheng's house for the third time. Not only Master Zheng and Wei Wu, but even Shen Lin felt something was wrong.

It should be noted that in the past, the White Lotus Taoist always kept a low profile and rarely showed himself except when meeting with high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect.

But now, this has happened three times in just a few days, and all three times it involved meeting the same person. This is extremely careless.

This was completely out of character for the White Lotus Taoist, so Master Zheng couldn't help but probe with a question.

"My Lord, please grant me the antidote first! This medicine is too unpleasant; I... I can't take it anymore!"

Upon hearing what Master Zheng said, the White Lotus Taoist turned and stared at him for a while before saying indifferently:

"What's the rush? The time will come and it will be bestowed upon you. The suffering you are enduring now is merely a minor punishment for your betrayal!"

Upon hearing Bai Lian Dao Ren's response, a hint of doubt welled up in the depths of Master Zheng's eyes.
