Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

After comparing the man's face with the company's database, Liu Ke learned his identity: 'Jin Yong' from Liaodong, who was proficient in Tiangang Qi and Pikong Zhang.

Liu Ke took a deep breath, then he lowered his voice and said, "Please come in."

After hearing this, Jin Yong, who was outside the door, first glanced at the dog, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

The big man from Liaodong turned the doorknob slowly and lightly, took a quick look, and then walked in.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw two people sitting on a big bed inside the door, a man and a woman, their clothes were quite neat.

Seeing this, Jin Yong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. His deep voice softened as he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Ke, I... don't think I came at the right time."

After saying that, he paused for a few seconds and said tentatively, "How about I come again tomorrow morning if you're free?"

After hearing this, Liu Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, it's not what you think. Anyway, you probably misunderstood something."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Looking at you, you don't look like you have bad intentions. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

As he spoke, Liu Ke snapped his fingers and projected a chair to the burly man in front of him.

At the same time, he and Gao Yushan both straightened their bodies and faced each other in a more formal manner.

After Jin Yong sat down, he said without further ado, "Mr. Liu Ke, my name is Jin Meng, and I'm here to invite you."

Hearing this, Liu Ke couldn't help but feel a little amused and asked with a smile: "Invite me? Uh, sorry, you are..."

"What's the origin?"

Chapter 152 New Interception (1)

Jin Yong, the elder brother of the "Liaodong Savage" Jin Meng, is tall and mighty, with a perfect mastery of the Tiangang Qi. He is also skilled in the Stepping Gang Dou Bu and the Tiangang Splitting Palm, and his fighting power is astonishing. He is a well-known tough guy in the company's files.

And when this tough guy who was recorded as a "scattered person" suddenly came in front of him today and said he wanted to invite him, Liu Ke naturally became curious, so he asked him where he came from.

The question in Liu Ke's words was relatively subtle, but also very obvious. Jin Yong was not a fool, so he naturally understood the question in his words.

The sturdy man was not surprised by the questioning. He just breathed a sigh of relief and took out a small ball with a yellow shell from his trouser pocket.

Then, he glanced openly at the dog that was lying at his feet, clearly on guard against him, and said, "According to the leader, he hopes you can become his partner, and I am the one sent to invite you."

"Our leader said, you may be confused, but when you see these two things, you will understand."

After saying that, Jin Yong used his body energy to push the ball in his hand.

call out!

As energy burst out from the suspected 'switch' of the small ball, a 'person' suddenly jumped out from it.

Or to put it more accurately, it is a mechanical puppet with the same body shape as a human, wearing clothes, but with a face that is deliberately made different from a human.

After the mechanical puppet landed on the ground, it performed several kinds of salutes respectfully to Liu Ke, just like a maid from a wealthy family in the Republic of China era. In the end, it ended with a very funny "Xi Hai salute".

After these sets of movements, Liu Ke almost couldn't hold back his expression. He could only purse his lips and try hard not to laugh out loud. Then he gave Jin Yong a thumbs up repeatedly.

"You guys... this is quite interesting, really quite interesting."

Although Jin Yong was surprised to hear Liu Ke's unexpected praise, he broke out in a sweat and quickly explained, "Mr. Liu Ke, this one... I just took it with me when I left."

"I don't know who programmed it to do these movements. Sorry, that's really a bit rude."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ke waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then he carefully observed the mechanical puppet in front of him, and then looked at the small yellow ball in Jin Yong's hand.

After observing for a while, he felt that these two things were quite rare and contained mysteries.

Liu Ke turned to look at Jin Yong, then pointed at the uniquely shaped, large-eyed female mechanical doll and said, "Compared to this."

Seeing this, Jin Yong replied in time: "It's called Ruhua."

Liu Ke nodded and said, "Compared to this 'Ruhua', I'm more interested in this thing in your hand... yes, that little ball."

Jin Yong was stunned when he heard this, then he generously threw the ball to Liu Ke and said, "This thing is called a swallowing capsule. It was made by our leader. It can hold many things."

"But it also has limitations. It can only hold objects without will, like inanimate objects like flowers."

At this point, Jin Yong noticed that Liu Ke was quite interested in the items he brought, and he felt more at ease. He said, "As I said before, our leader hopes to become your partner and invites you to visit our base."

"Of course, our leader also said that everyone has their own aspirations. Whether you are willing to come or not, this Devouring Sac and this Ruhua will be given to you."

After Liu Ke took the devouring sac thrown by the other party, he did not directly answer the other party's words, but nodded to indicate that he understood.

Immediately, he used his [Projection] ability roughly and knew the general usage of the hand-held device.

"Is... this how it should be used?" Liu Ke said to himself, then stood up, aimed the devouring sac at Ruhua, and activated the Qi.

call out!

Just as quickly as Jin Yong released the puppet before, in the blink of an eye, Ruhua was taken into the devouring bag.

After seeing that the method was successful, Liu Ke nodded, smiled and activated the devouring sac again, releasing Ruhua again.

After testing it for a while, he turned around and asked, "Is this thing really made by your leader? It's quite impressive. I think this swallowing sac has great potential."

"But, are there still religious leaders these days? I remember that Christianity and Protestantism were all run by the Western pope, weren't they?"

As if he had thought of something, Liu Ke's face turned awkward and he said, "You can't be a sect that came from Korea or Japan...right?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yong waved his hands and replied, "No, no... We are not those Japanese, Korean, or Southeast Asian cults. We are all Chinese."

"Well, if we're serious, we're not a religion in the traditional sense, but..."

After a pause, Jin Yong said to Liu Ke, who was pouring water from a bottle of Wahaha, "We are the New Jiejiao."

It must be said that the timing of these words was just right. After hearing them, Liu Ke couldn't help but spit out all the water that he hadn't swallowed yet and coughed violently several times.

He coughed out all the water in his throat and then said in a hoarse voice, "New what?"

"Jiaojiao?"

……

In the common people's understanding, Jiejiao is a fictional religious sect in the Chinese Ming Dynasty mythological novel "Investiture of the Gods". It is listed as one of the two major immortal sects along with Chenjiao. Its doctrines and settings are rich in mythological colors and philosophical connotations.

According to the origin story, Jiejiao was founded by Tongtian Jiaozhu, a disciple of Hongjun Laozu. Taking into account the recent developments in Honghuang novels, Tongtian Jiaozhu is often considered one of the Three Pure Ones, a younger brother of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

This Master Tongtian has a strong character and advocates "teaching for all", believing that all living beings can practice and attain enlightenment. Therefore, the Jiejiao sect is a mixture of immortals, humans, and demons, and its power is huge.

In general, the Jiejiao, which "seizes a glimmer of hope", has a very strong background even if it is placed in a mythological story.

However, myths are myths after all, and there is always a gap between them and reality.

Although, in the company's records of the materials during the Shang Dynasty, the so-called dispute between Wu Zhou and Shang Dynasty does have the shadow of the struggle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

However, the fight between the two sects was not a so-called battle between gods, but just a fight between two extremely powerful groups of aliens due to different ideas.

Of course, during the Shang Dynasty and Wu Zhou Dynasty, supernatural powers were not something shocking like they are today. Instead, they were a symbol of power that could be discussed openly.

Therefore, the war between Shang and Zhou can indeed be regarded as a fight between sects among aliens, and Jiejiao was indeed an ancient alien sect.

So, when Jin Yong said that he was from the Jiejiao Sect, Liu Ke was immediately shocked and looked at Er Zhuang for help.

Chapter 153 New Interception (2)

There were three people in the room at the moment. Putting aside Jin Meng, the outsider, if Liu Ke wanted to apply for "knowledge assistance," he could only turn to Gao Yushan.

But the name of "Jiejiao" made Gao Yushan, who was born and raised in the circle of extraordinary people, feel very confused after hearing it.

Of course, her confusion was normal. After all, the most advanced technology in the 21st century was electronic technology, and Gao Yushan's special ability allowed her to navigate through vast amounts of information.

Even before she met Liu Ke, Gao Yushan, who was confined to a life-support machine, was like this. Therefore, she was by no means ignorant, but rather a know-it-all.

But even though she was like this, and was a girl from the Gao family, one of the four major families in the country's supernatural world, she had never heard of the so-called Jiejiao.

So, when Jin Yong mentioned the name "Jiejiao", facing Liu Ke's inquiring gaze, she could only stare with her eyes wide open, shake her head, and not know what to say.

Seeing her expression, Liu Ke immediately understood what was going on. He turned to Jin Yong and asked seriously, "Jiejiao?"

"Um, I want to confirm again, this 'Jiejiao' you mentioned... is that correct? The Jiejiao in the Investiture of the Gods?"

After hearing this, Jin Yong immediately realized what the other party had misunderstood and said directly: "Yes, the two words Jiejiao are indeed the same as the Jiejiao in the Investiture of the Gods."

"But, in case you misunderstand, I still have to say that we are the new Jiejiao, and we are different from the Jiejiao."

After hearing what the other party said, Liu Ke cleared his throat and asked with a very serious attitude, "Well, how should I put it, it's just... I'm also wondering, what do you mean by 'new'?"

Seeing the other party's curiosity, Jin Yong felt relieved and introduced to Liu Ke: "Actually, if we want to be more precise, we are actually called 'New Jie', not New Jie Religion."

"The word 'jiao' was actually added by us followers without permission. The leader himself didn't really like us calling him 'jiaozhu', but since we all called him that, he got used to it."

Liu Ke nodded after hearing this, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Oh my, that's a really big name you guys have come up with. It makes me sweat. I was thinking you were the Jiejiao sect founded by Tongtian Patriarch and living in the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island."

After hearing this, Jin Yong also said with a strange expression, "You are right. Our 'New Intercept' is currently stationed in Liupanshui. The new base is called Biyou Village."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ke and Gao Yushan exchanged a glance, then nodded blankly and gave a thumbs-up, praising, "You guys are truly amazing. Really impressive! If your school can truly flourish, I personally feel it will be even more famous than names like Longhu Mountain or Zhuge Wuhou."

After saying that, Liu Ke looked at the Devouring Sac in his hand again and asked, "Let's not talk about this for now. What is the purpose of your so-called leader asking you to contact me..."

"Putting aside the ambiguous term 'partner', to put it bluntly, you're here to invite me to join your new team, right?"

Jin Yong nodded after hearing this, and then Liu Ke asked, "Then I... You should have seen the Luotian Grand Ceremony, so you know that I'm a jack of all trades, right?"

Jin Yong nodded again, then replied, "It doesn't matter. The reason we call ourselves Xinjie is because of the leader's philosophy."

"Just like what the Jiejiao in that myth said, and also like the philosophy of the Jiejiao aliens behind the Shang Dynasty in our real world, we agree with the Jiejiao's teachings that are open to all."

"The leader appreciates your skills, your designs, and your ideas."

"When I told him about your dog, our leader was very excited. After watching the competition video I filmed, he was convinced that you are an excellent designer and refiner, and wanted you to join us."

After hearing this, Liu Ke raised his eyebrows, then smiled slightly and said, "I understand. Thank you for your kindness, leader. But... first of all, I'm not dissatisfied with you, but if he wanted to recruit me, he should have come in person, right?"

Jin Yong didn't show any expression when he heard this, but said, "I'm sorry. Our village is under construction in full swing, and the leader can't get away. His original intention was to talk to you through my phone after I met you, but..."

"Before coming to you, the leader had some personal issues. Unfortunately, he may not be able to speak to you today."

"Normally, I should wait until tomorrow or find another opportunity. However, it's so hard to find time to talk to you alone. If I don't come today, I may never find another chance."

Liu Ke nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the Devouring Sac in his hand and said, "Very interesting, whether it's this Devouring Sac or what you call the New Interceptor or the Leader. When I finish my work, I'll go take a look at your place."

Jin Yong had originally thought that he would have to persuade the other party today, but unexpectedly, Liu Ke was surprisingly easy to talk to. He hurriedly said, "That's great."

"In the eyes of the leader, you are very special, and he sincerely invites you to join. But, as I said, even if you ultimately don't want to join 'New Intercept', that's fine too. Just treat it as a fun outing."

"Of course, if you are willing to join us in the end, you will definitely receive a great gift. Our leader said that it is the greatest skill for weapon refiners."
