Chapter 298 Transporting Supplies
The collective fall of the deities to Earth was definitely a major event for the priests.
After all, if they couldn't get a response from their gods, they couldn't use their Divine Arts.
But for Viola, there was almost no impact at all.
The Avarus Demon Kingdom had forbidden the worship of deities from the very beginning.
Besides, Li Chengxi was perfectly fine, so the priests of the Demon God could all still use their Divine Arts.
Compared to these matters concerning the gods, Viola was currently more focused on preparations for a counterattack.
Of course, Li Chengxi knew what his number one follower was up to.
To make the counterattack a little smoother, Li Chengxi had specifically requested a batch of supplies.
Or rather, he had bought a batch of supplies.
Li Chengxi didn't need to intervene when it came to food.
The Leon Territory had a bountiful harvest this year, and their food reserves were plentiful.
Nor was there a need for protective gear like cotton clothes.
Viola had ordered a large number of fur coats to be sewn in advance.
There was only one thing they needed most.
Medicine.
Although Li Chengxi could bestow Divine Arts, using them still consumed a priest's mana bar.
Even if a powerful Divine Art was granted to a mortal, not just anyone could use it casually.
Because of this limitation, medical supplies were extremely important.
They would use medicine to treat the lightly wounded, and only use Divine Arts on the severely injured.
Good steel should be used for the blade's edge, after all.
The medicines Li Chengxi had Section Nine prepare weren't anything too expensive.
They were mainly wound medications like amoxicillin, iodophor, and Yunnan Healing Powder, as well as bandages, vitamin tablets, and the like.
It sounded like a lot, but in reality, Viola only had two thousand troops.
Li Chengxi spent about five million to purchase these supplies, which averaged out to a standard of around 2,500 yuan per person.
Moreover, the sources Section Nine helped find offered prices far cheaper than buying from a pharmacy.
When distributed among everyone, they could practically use it with wild abandon.
After transferring the money to Section Nine, Li Chengxi took a car to a warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
He opened the main gate, and large cardboard boxes were already neatly arranged inside.
The next problem was how to transport this pile of stuff over.
Li Chengxi closed the warehouse's main gate, connected the projector he brought to his laptop and hung it up, then hung a white screen on the opposite wall of the warehouse.
He had tried it at home before; the screen projected by the projector could still function just like a computer screen.
He then stood before the screen displaying the game's graphics, and a portal shimmering with intense light appeared there.
But it only looked like a portal.
In reality, it was just an illusion created with divine power, not a real portal.
Qian Sen had once mentioned that an unscientific force like magical power could interfere with the operation of electronic devices.
Logically, such a major disturbance should have affected the projector.
But in reality, it didn't.
Divine power was different from magical power.
Divine power acted entirely according to a god's will.
If Li Chengxi didn't think it could affect electronics, then it wouldn't.
By the same logic, Li Chengxi subconsciously felt that the game AAI shouldn't be revealed to others, so when others looked, they could only see him playing a mini-game.
This was equivalent to casting an illusion over the game screen, something Li Chengxi himself hadn't even realized.
After these preparations, Li Chengxi reached towards the image of the portal and made a pulling motion, yanking Audel, who had long been informed and was waiting, out of the screen.
With the image of the portal in front, it looked as if Audel had opened the portal herself to come through, and Li Chengxi had just given her a helping hand.
Don't forget, this was a warehouse Section Nine helped rent.
Li Chengxi didn't believe for a second they weren't hiding somewhere, peeking.
"Are these all medicines?"
Audel immediately looked around curiously.
She usually appeared in Li Chengxi's home.
This time, being in a warehouse piled high with cardboard boxes felt very novel to her.
For people whose pharmaceutical production had not yet moved beyond manual craftsmanship, the amount of medicine stored in the warehouse was a considerable figure, especially since there was more than just one or two types.
However, in the context of modern pharmaceutical industry, this small amount of medicine was nothing at all.
"Things have been a bit turbulent on my side recently. I'll show you around next time I have a chance. Let's get down to business first."
With the gods having fallen to Earth, Section Nine was on high alert.
Although he had given Qian Sen a heads-up about Audel, it was still asking for trouble in such a tumultuous time.
At least until the gods found a way to return, it was better for Audel and Viola to stay away from Earth.
Audel nodded in understanding.
She immediately raised her staff as they had agreed and began muttering incantations.
From time to time, magical light of different colors would flash from her staff, making it look as if she were maintaining the portal's operation.
This was a special performance for Section Nine, to mislead them into thinking that Audel was the one who could open the portal, and it had nothing to do with Li Chengxi.
Then, Li Chengxi turned around and raised both his hands upwards.
The large cardboard boxes filled with medicine on the shelves were all enveloped in a layer of golden light.
Hundreds of boxes flew into the air at the same time, arranging themselves into a specific formation, flying towards Li Chengxi in groups of four or five.
Then they passed over him, went through the image of the portal, and flew into the screen behind him.
Originally, Li Chengxi had been quite troubled over how to transport these supplies.
After all, the quantity was too large for one or two people to move casually.
He had considered whether to pull over a few dozen Royal Guards, and even contemplated driving a small truck himself, sticking the cargo bed into the projector screen, and then driving it out after everything was moved.
However, Aidas falling from the sky and teaching Li Chengxi how to use divine power made all that unnecessary.
Li Chengxi just needed to provide cover to prevent Section Nine from seeing through the ruse.
When Qian Sen came to pick up the person earlier, Li Chengxi had specially mentioned that he had received some divine power from his god.
That preventative measure was for this very moment.
If Li Chengxi had to move several hundred boxes by himself, he would be exhausted to death, but with divine power, it was much easier.
In fact, Viola's side was slower at moving the boxes away than he was at sending them in.
He had to wait for the 'unloading area' to be cleared before he could continue sending more.
In total, it only took about ten minutes.
Once the medicine was moved, Li Chengxi reached out towards the far end of the warehouse and made a lifting motion.
The empty oil barrels stacked there also began to float up.
This was also something in urgent need at the moment.
For the counterattack, Viola needed to store a large amount of crude oil as fuel, but the speed at which the carpenters in the Leon Territory made barrels was simply not fast enough.
So, Li Chengxi had Section Nine help him find two hundred of them.
After putting all these items inside, Li Chengxi gave Audel a few instructions.
Then, the young woman, holding her staff, also passed through the 'portal' and jumped into the screen.
Li Chengxi then dispelled the portal's illusion, making it look as if Audel had dismissed it after finishing the job.
Almost as soon as he had done all this, Qian Sen called.
"Hello? Did Miss Audel just come over and go back again?"
"Yes, she went back after moving the things."
This matter had been reported to Qian Sen, so his call was just for confirmation.
"Besides, you guys should have already seen the whole process, right?"
"It's good that you understand. Our technicians are very interested in the operation of how to travel to another world."
Neither admitting nor denying it, Section Nine was definitely observing the warehouse from the shadows.
"Don't tell me you're planning a PLA invasion of another world?"
"It's purely a technical issue. If we can figure it out, at least we won't be as passive as we are now."
Li Chengxi heard the sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard through the phone, and then Qian Sen said:
"I need to file a report on this matter first. It's nothing major. You should also be careful with the divine power you have. Make sure no one sees you using it."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Li Chengxi looked at his phone screen and reached out to turn off the projector.
He wondered to himself, should he be thinking about buying a new house?
