Chapter 558 Upper Level Route

"I think it's pretty good."

Ling Xiyi beeped quietly at the side, and the awed looks of passers-by greatly satisfied her desire to show off.

"you shut up!"

Li Rui said something to her angrily, and began to think about his next action.

"Ruijun, actually Xiyi-chan is right, it's really good."

Teacher Hannah chuckled lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Why do you say that?"

Li Rui blinked and asked with a frown.

"Actually, you are bound by the inertial thinking of modern people."

Hannah stood up and looked around. She really looked like a teacher giving lessons to a group of children.

"We have the Internet and information explosion. Even ordinary people can know the major events in the world. Other worlds do not have such good conditions."

"Ninety percent of the civilians here are illiterate. They have been trapped within a hundred miles radius all their lives. The only way to obtain information is anecdotes passed down by word of mouth. It is too inefficient to start with them."

When Teacher Hannah said this, Li Rui reacted immediately.

"Take the upper-class nobility route?"

Hannah was stunned for a moment and smiled like a child can be taught.

"That's right! The knowledge of the other world is monopolized in the hands of the nobles, and all the latest information will be gathered to them. As long as we control them, we are equivalent to controlling the brain of this country."

"But, the leader of [Bei Baize] is a secret diamond, and he still has two golds under his command. How can we control them?"

Huang Juncai scratched the back of his head and asked doubtfully.

Hannah shook her head: "It doesn't have to be violence. Our goal is intelligence, not colonial rule. We can indirectly achieve the purpose of gathering intelligence through trade or the exchange of skills and knowledge."

"Then should we take the initiative to contact the nobles here?"

Li Rui looked out the window at the darkening sky, thinking about what "gift" to use to pry open the door of the local nobles.

"No, we walked around the city in such a high-profile manner today. As long as the nobles here are not stupid, their desks will definitely be filled with our information. Maybe, someone will come to try to contact them tomorrow."

The progress of the matter did not exceed Hannah's expectation. Starting from the next day, guests from the local nobles successively sent invitations to the inn, inviting Li Rui and his "Demon Slayer" to attend the banquet.

Li Rui also refused to reject anyone and frequently visited wealthy families. Modern people's knowledge, conversation, and social manners were simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to people from other worlds.

They had never heard of so many legendary experiences (Internet jokes + bragging) in their lives, and then they realized that the world was so vast. They were so shocked by Li Rui and his entourage that they suppressed their coveting of girls.

Relying on the occasional show of strength and his deliberately pretentious manner, Li Rui quickly established a relationship with the two most powerful generals in [Northern Baize].

"Did Yoshida Souta finally send an invitation?"

"Well, there's also Hiro Katayama."

Li Rui Yang held the two invitations in his hand and chuckled.

"Great. The leader of [Northern Baize] has not shown up for a long time. Now it is these two generals who hold the real power. As long as we deal with them, half of our goal will be achieved."

Hannah took out the invitation, and following her movements, Li Rui's eyes were shaken, and he quickly looked at his nose, nose, and heart.

"But the efficiency is still too low. There are thousands of known countries in [Izumo Country], and there are nearly a hundred "big countries" similar in size to [Kita Kashiwazawa]. It will take years and months to find clues if you go one by one... "

Huang Juncai sighed and collapsed into a ball of mud on the chair.

Ling Xiyi nodded when she heard this, staring at Li Rui with cold eyes as calm as water.

"Hurry up, I have to go back to catch up, and the monthly pass will expire soon!"

Without WiFi, she's going to die!

Li Rui was angry and slashed her forehead with a knife, making her frown.

To put it lightly, if the rough diamond bosses on the earth could come over and physically convince them one by one, they might be able to cut through the mess quickly.

But the one with the highest level among them is Mr. Hannah’s Shirogane, so why should he “persuade” others?

After sorting out his emotions, Li Rui took a group of teammates to the general's mansion in the core of the inner city to attend the banquet.

The first person to be invited was the invitation of Yoshida Souta. His general's palace is on the left side of the castle tower, facing the general's palace of Katayama Hiroshi on the right, like two samurai guarding their lord.

The General's Mansion occupies a large area, estimated to be nearly ten acres in area. Unfortunately, in Li Rui's opinion, the magnificent and gorgeous building in the eyes of the locals is not as good as the courtyard house of the earthly rich man.

Following the waiter into the door, not only was there no surprise in his eyes, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I've heard Master Li Rui's name for a long time. I'm so happy to come to my humble residence today. Please come in!"

A middle-aged man with a round face and a kind appearance came forward and enthusiastically invited Li Rui and his party inside.

He glanced at the girls behind Li Rui without leaving a trace, his eyes filled with excitement, but he quickly suppressed them.

"Lord Zong Tai is too praiseworthy."

Li Rui nodded humbly and walked into the room with him.

Luo Li, who was following Li Rui, suddenly frowned and twitched her nose.

Li Rui's eyebrows in front of him jumped suddenly, but then he relaxed and continued to chat and laugh with Yoshida Souta.

The spacious hall was already filled with Yoshida Souta's guests. Most of them had met Li Rui at other banquets and nodded to him in a friendly manner.

When everyone was seated, the maids served dishes in a flowing stream, and the lively banquet entered the Gao Dynasty directly.

The dancing girl band entered the hall in a row, and the hall was in a state of chaos.

Seeing the dancers' steps without any regard for their relatives, Li Rui's face twitched slightly.

I don't understand why the people from other worlds have such low excitement points. What's so exciting about the geisha who was painted with white powder and looked like a ghost dancing like a god?

The accompanying music was also quite non-mainstream, and it sounded no different from the domestic funeral music.

Bring a disc of disco dance music next time, then you won't be able to go to heaven?

Although he was full of disgust in his heart, Li Rui's face was still calm, and he exchanged a few words with Yoshida Souta from time to time, and the guests and hosts were all happy.

After three rounds of wine, everyone's face was flushed, and Yoshida Souta asked "inadvertently" when he felt that the atmosphere was about right.

"Master Li Rui is knowledgeable, I wonder if you have heard of "Earth"."

Li Rui's fingers paused slightly, and then he poured the wine into his mouth smoothly and drank it all.

"Hahaha, of course I've heard of the 'Earth' the general mentioned. Not only that, I've also had contact with their people."

"Oh? I wonder if you can open our eyes?"

Yoshida Souta stared at him with burning eyes, and the noise on the field suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Rui.

"Hmm...where should I start?"

Li Rui rubbed his chin and pondered.
