Chapter 173: Farewell to the Imperial Capital

Although there is no sound of firecrackers, Dong Chen feels that the New Year's atmosphere here is still okay, it is very lively, there are performances to watch every day in some squares, and major troupes will take this opportunity to show some performances.

Dong Chen also followed Jin Shanshan and them to participate in some aristocratic balls, but Dong Chen was not very interested in this, so he went twice and didn't go.

The most important thing is that the food they prepared is not quite to Dong Chen's appetite, and the attraction of other things is not great, except for some regular things such as singing and dancing, repertoire, tricks and ballroom dancing, etc., there is nothing else, if the food is not delicious, it will be even less attractive.

In this way, Dong Chen focused his attention on the library of Imperial Capital University again.

Normally, everyone is in the library, and Dong Chen can't show any too weird behavior, such as flipping through a book quickly or something, after all, this is not Black Rock City, but the imperial capital, and there are too many strangers.

Now that there is no one, it is just time for Dong Chen to continue his book sweeping plan.

There is no saying in this world that "no new year is a year", the vast majority of people's activities will be in the city, and they will not go to other cities until they die, after all, the various "costs" of going to other cities are a bit high, which is not acceptable to ordinary people.

After the 5th, all the work that should start here in the imperial capital has started, and even the shops or factories that have only taken a day off on the 1st have already started, and the work in the children's library has also begun to get busy.

Now, four months have passed, and the work of collating, proofreading and re-editing the books is nearing completion.

As Dong Chen stayed here for longer and longer, and his fame grew, he also took out a relatively powerful ability accordingly to speed up the process of this mission, if nothing else, this time he would be able to complete the previous six months in five months, and it is estimated that he would be able to return to Black Rock City in early February.

However, Jin Shanshan's side made a lot of adjustments after the start of construction, and he looked like he was bursting with liver, not only the new factory expansion and branch construction plan were arranged, but also a lot of overtime time was arranged.

However, the corresponding overtime pay and bonuses are also sufficient, and I am not afraid that those workers will not work hard.

This year, they have high hopes for several factories, all of which are counting on making huge profits this year.

The dream of the various "kings" of Jin Shanshan will also be realized this year, last year was the beginning, and this year is the time to witness the strength, one year is enough.

In the last period of time, Dong Chen did not make any major inventions, but only made some improvements to the existing inventions, achieving the ultimate in existing technology, and earning a wave of points by the way.

It wouldn't be so simple if others wanted to upgrade their technology, at least because the technological limitations of the era wouldn't allow them to do so.

Unless someone can make a breakthrough from somewhere else, and a lot of people break through a lot of technology, that's the only way to do it.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Do you really want to go back?" Jin Shanshan looked at Dong Chen with some puzzlement, "How good it is to stay in the imperial capital, here is a stage for you to show your strength, as for that Shanghai town, just let them continue to develop on their own, anyway, the annual tax revenue is not much." โ€

"I'll build you a huge workshop in the Chamber of Commerce, all kinds of equipment in the imperial capital can be made, you can have anything, you can do whatever you want, the headquarters of the Cult of Technology are here, isn't it better than you going to a small place and starting from scratch?"

"And you're gone, what about my sister? Do you want to be a bad guy? โ€

"Poofโ€”"

Dong Chen squirted out a sip of tea, almost choking himself.

"Your words in front are normal, but what the hell are your words in the back? What did I do to your sister? โ€

"As long as you're not blind, you know that my sister has taken a fancy to you," Jin Shanshan said helplessly, "Although you look bad, but I'm a brother and I can't help it, I can't break the leg of the major shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce, right?" And if I break your leg, my leg will probably be broken by Alice. โ€

Dong Chen took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his mouth, and glanced at Jin Shanshan with disdain, "That is, Sister Alice is not here, if she was here, your leg would definitely be broken by now." โ€

"No, if she wants to be here, you definitely won't dare to say this, because you coaxed a batch."

"Hehe~"

Jin Shanshan first shook his finger and smiled disdainfully, and then naturally admitted, "Of course, I didn't dare say that when she was there." โ€

"But to state again, that's not called cowardice, then the love for Alice, the love of my brother for my sister, understand?"

"I know you're a ghost, you're just cowardly," Dong Chen unceremoniously raised a middle finger at Jinshi.

And Jin Shanshan did not hesitate to return a middle finger.

Having known Dong Chen for so long, he now knows what this gesture means.

Now that the time has come to February 2982, the tasks of the librarians have almost been completed in advance, Dong Chen is going to go back to Black Rock City in two days, and he specially came to say hello to Jin Shanshan, after all, after he is gone, Jin Shanshan is still needed to watch here.

And when the airship he ordered is completed, he also needs Jin Shanshan to recruit an airship control team for him, and then fly directly to Shanghai Town.

There are also some subsequent purchases of equipment and machinery, all of which need Jin Shanshan's help, and he wants to build Shanghai Town, these things are indispensable.

Shanghai Town is just a small town, you don't have to think about it to know how bad the infrastructure there is, if it becomes Dong Chen's territory, the gene of the "infrastructure madness" will definitely force him to build there, and some equipment in the early stage can only be purchased in the city.

Fortunately, although Shanghai Town is far away from various cities, the waterway transportation is relatively convenient, and the big ships from the imperial capital can directly go south down the sea to Shanghai Town, and the goods from Black Rock City can also be sent to Shanghai Town through the Qingshui River.

The two made some small plans about what happened next, and then they broke up, this is just a small gathering between the two of them today, and there will be a farewell party tomorrow, that is a big reunion.

Sure enough, a lot of people came the next day, and Jin Shanshan's gang and Dong Chen's acquaintances basically came, including several girls.

Alice was impressively listed, but Antoria, who usually didn't come, probably didn't like this kind of scene very much, after all, there should be many people among these people who were alienated from her in the first place.

At the end of the farewell party, Alice was very reluctant to Dong Chen, but her mouth grew a few times, and she still didn't know what to say, and finally Dong Chen said with a smile, "Welcome to Shanghai Town in the future, I will definitely receive you with the highest specifications." โ€

Alice was only stunned for a moment, then nodded with a red face, "Hmm." โ€

"What about me?" Jin Shanshan also leaned over and pointed at herself, "If my sister goes, I will definitely go too, I don't worry about her running away alone." โ€

"You?" Dong Chen squinted at him, "No matter if you eat or live, love doesn't come or not." โ€

"Hey, you kid, you're arrogant when you become an engineer or a lord!"

Jin Shanshan was not angry, but he didn't dare to talk to Dong Chen, so he could only glare at Dong Chen silently, which meant "You wait for me!" โ€

Alice is still here, he basically doesn't dare to blow up the stab, especially after the bicycle yelling incident, don't look at Alice Seeing others with a gentle and shy appearance, seeing Dong Chen blushing even more, but to his brother, it was never polite.

He can even doubt life.

In the end, Jin Shanshan, a few people who were most familiar with him, sent Dong Chen to the airship, and asked Dong Chen to bring a large number of gifts, even Dong Chen's luxury bicycle.

When the airship took off and everyone waved goodbye to Dong Chen, no one noticed Alice's determined eyes.

She waved her hand and clenched her fist on the other, as if she had decided something.
