Chapter 257: Coding

Lu Zhen nodded his head with a satisfied expression as he looked at the five people present in the room.

One of the people looked like a beggar with his hair aged and his clothing tattered and patched up, while three of the people wore regal clothes with an elegant demeanour.

If you looked closely at the three people, they all had an arrogant expression on their faces, which they suppressed while bowing towards Lu Zhen, their eyes filled with reverence.

The last person was a familiar woman, Lu Qing, one of the twins, who was wearing a navy-coloured robe.

"You can rise up now," Lu Zhen spoke, and the five all simultaneously stood up.

"How is the machine going?" he said as he looked at a capsule that was standing at the centre of the room, floating in mid-air as if it were defying gravity itself.

"Young master, these machines are quite interesting, and I have been studying them for a long time only the final step is left now," Lu Qing said with a smile on her face.

"The machine is finally ready?" Lu Zhen's eyes shined with glee.

"Yes, from my knowledge combined, it looks like everything is completed, except for these strange devices. What is this device used for? Although you gave us the blueprint and we constructed it, we don't know what to do with these." Lu Qing pointed at the mobile device which was connected with a wire that linked all the things in the room.

"On these is the remote to activate all the things," Lu Zhen spoke with a smile on his face.

"Hmm?" Lu Qing was confused when she heard this, looking at Lu Zhen in confusion.

"You won't understand; your little brain can't comprehend such stuff anyway." Lu Zhen said with a smile and patted her.

Lu Qing blushed when she felt the warm hands of Lu Zhen on her head as she pouted.

"I will teach you three, my alchemy technique after this," Lu Zhen suddenly spoke as he looked at the three alchemy apprentices with regal clothes and an elegant demeanour.

The three's eyes lit up with excitement when they heard this, and they immediately knelt in front of Lu Zhen.

"Please take us as your disciples," the three of them said in unison.

"Good," Lu Zhen nodded his head. He wouldn't mind some extra free workers—cough, disciples. Especially since they were alchemists and could concoct some pastes. Although the apprentices weren't as skillful as Lu Zhen and weren't very efficient, an extra pair of hands was always welcome. He could save some valuable time with them.

"What do you need, old man?" Lu Zhen smiled as he looked at the beggar.

"I want some of that knowledge, young master. I have seen countless languages around the town, but it is the first time that I have seen such an intriguing piece of this language. This is the most profound and vast knowledge I have known till now. I want to learn and explore this language." The old man laughed maniacally like a man possessed.

Lu Zhen frowned upon hearing this; however, he still nodded his head.

"If you want to learn the language, you have to become my follower, then. I am looking for talented individuals like you, scholars."

The old man hesitated when he heard this. However, looking at the machinery in the room, he gritted his teeth.

"This subordinate greets his master." The old beggar decisively bowed his head.

"Good, call me Young Master Lu Zhen or the Leader from now on, got it?"

"Yes, Leader," the old man voiced with reverence.

"Then all of you guys leave the room now," Lu Zhen said with a smile on his face.
