Chapter 663 Invitation


    Cao Youyi was wary of the two new recruits early on, so she hid something from the two of them, whether it was the sudden enlightenment of Coke, the secret cultivation method on the tortoise shell, or the nine talismans of the Dragon Palace.


    The main force in studying the secrets of cultivation and the Dragon Palace Nine Ribbons was Zhou Zuolin, Dai Lianliang and other old people. They only asked Gu Peilun and Sheng Tongwen for the obscure and difficult parts. On the contrary, the iron box matter was known to all the teachers and students in the school because Ma Lu planned to go fishing.


    After discovering that Gu Peilun was missing, Cao Youyi immediately checked the principal''s office and saw that the drawer where the iron box was stored had been pried open. The iron box was missing, but two bank drafts worth one thousand oceans were still inside.


    This also proves from the side that the person who stole the iron box did not want to make money.


    "Oh, Mingxia''s people are pretty quick to do it," Ma Lu said, "It seems they really want what''s in the box."


    Cao Youyi took out a gold-gilt invitation.


    "This was sent an hour ago. Luo Xiangshi, the big boss of Mingxia, is hosting a banquet at the Liuguo Hotel and would like to invite you to the banquet."


    "Isn''t he planning to take me down directly in the name of the banquet?" Ma Lu asked after taking the invitation.


    "It shouldn''t happen. As far as I know, in addition to you, Luo Xiangshi also invited the mayor of Pingcheng, the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, the director of the police, Wang Qi, the leader of the Salt Gang, and many local gentry and entrepreneurs.


    "There are so many prominent local people gathered together. Even with the power of the Mingxia Group, it is difficult for them to act violently under the eyes of so many people."


    "So can I go meet Luo Xiangshi?"


    "No, on the contrary." Cao Youyi said, "I don''t recommend that you go. I used to think that the Mingxia Group didn''t have much power in Pingcheng. At most, it had some contact with the Railway Bank, but now it seems that I underestimated them. , even after leaving Sindura Xiangshi''s influence is still not small.


    "Tonight''s banquet will be attended by almost all business and political dignitaries from Pingcheng. Since these people are willing to show favor, even if not all of them are famous heroes, most of them are biased toward famous heroes.


    "If you had any conflict with Luo Xiangshi at the banquet, you would have offended these people at the same time. It doesn''t matter if these people are on their own, but together they can make it impossible for Houde to continue to have a foothold in Pingcheng."


    "Interesting, Luo Xiangshi saw that he failed to take advantage of us a few times before, so he plans to play politics this time." Ma Lu said thoughtfully, touching his chin.


    "Then I have to go, otherwise I won''t let him drag all the local forces in Pingcheng to the side of Mingxia."


    Seeing that Ma Lu had made up his mind, Cao Youyi stopped trying to persuade her and just said, "You want to attend the banquet and need a female companion. I can accompany you. Although I may not know all the big and small forces in Pingcheng, at least I know them." We all look familiar, and for the sake of the old principal, they can’t help but make things difficult for us.”


    "That''s fine."


    Before going to the banquet, Ma Lu also took the time to check the scientific research results of the previous week. The three new technologies he selected were [Studying Heaven and Man], [Endless Life] and [Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness].


    Among them, [Xuetu Tianren] is used on teachers, which can improve school teachers'' lesson preparation efficiency by 100%.


    The reason why Malu studied this technology first was so that the school''s teachers could master the secrets of cultivation on the tortoise shells and the Nine Dragon Palace''s Dragon Palace as early as possible, so that they could be taught to students.


    And Zhou Zuolin and others lived up to expectations. With the blessing of [Scholarly Heavenly Man], they had already learned one of the talismans called the Palm Talisman in less than a week.


    After this talisman is used, it can command the water creatures within a radius of one mile for the user to drive. It is very useful in places with rivers and lakes. As for the two scientific research projects [Endless Life] and [Wai Da Zheng Zhi], they are used to clean up the disaster zone.


    The function of [Endless Life] is that for every physical and mental energy consumed by participating teachers and students in the disaster zone, half of it will be obtained.


    In other words, virtuous teachers and students will only use half of their physical and mental energy to clean up the disaster zone from now on, which can offset the negative effects of [weight-bearing practice].


    [Anti-attack] is to solve the panic effect caused by [Besieged on all sides]. Its function is that when the combat decisions and execution actions of teachers and students participating in the battle are wrong, there will be a 75% probability of exerting 150% effect.


    When Ma Lu first took over Houde, in order to quickly collect education points and improve his strength, he had to find another way to sacrifice the combat effectiveness of Houde teachers and students in exchange for education points.


    He found the first pot of gold by going out to clean up the disaster zone, but after all, he could not stay in this plane forever. Under his leadership, Houde has gradually developed and is on the right track.


    Malu hoped that the school could operate normally after he left, so he began to consciously prepare for his departure and improve the strength of Houde teachers and students in the disaster zone.


    After checking last week''s scientific research projects, Ma Lu also arranged for the next week. Seeing that it was almost time, he was about to go out with Cao Youyi to the Six Nations Hotel for a banquet.


    As a result, he saw a figure rushing into his office in a hurry.


    "Principal Ma, are you going to Boss Luo''s dinner? Take me with you, I will be your female companion!"


    6◇9◇Book◇Bar


    The person who entered the door was Lu Yingying.


    Today she wore a Western dress, with wavy hair and hollow leather shoes. She looked modern and fashionable. She also wore a mesh hat on her head, hiding half of her face behind a black veil, and for her It adds a bit of a sense of mystery.


    "Don''t make trouble," Ma Lu said, "I went there for business. I''ll play with you later."


    However, Lu Yingying had already taken a step forward, took his arm, and said coquettishly, "No, I promise I will be good and won''t cause any trouble to you, Principal Ma. Just take me there, listen." She said that Chen Meng, the most popular female star in Xindu, will also show up tonight, and I want to get her autograph."


    Ma Lu felt helpless when he heard this and could only say, "I have a grudge against Boss Luo of Mingxia Group and I haven''t settled it yet. I''m afraid tonight''s dinner will not be peaceful. You''d better stay away from me."


    However, contrary to his expectation, Lu Yingying did not let go of his arm, but winked at him.


    "I know that most of the guests at the banquet tonight are from the celebrity side, so you need me to stay with you even more. Although my father is not a big shot, he has a bold personality and a wide range of friends. If Mr. Luo wants to touch you, I might be able to make him think again."


    Malu was a little surprised. He didn''t expect that Lu Yingying, who looked heartless and had fun all day long, was not as silly and sweet as she appeared. Not only could she see what Luo Xiangshi wanted to do, but she was also quite loyal.


    She said she was going to play, but actually she was worried about him.
