Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 438 - 340: The First Broadcast!

The Daoist had other delivery tasks. He handed the radio to Elder Chen, explained the detailed usage instructions, and reminded him to pay attention to the notifications in the radio later. Then, he turned and headed elsewhere.

Elder Chen, along with Liu Ahsan and the entire family, respectfully bid farewell to the Daoist. Then the family gathered around the new-style radio and sat down.

Elder Chen’s son is named Chen Dalang, who is fifty or sixty years old. Like his father, he has dark skin and a lean build, but his eyes are sharp, and he always wears a stern expression, resembling an old scholar from an academy.

Chen Dalang, unlike his father, always thought the people in Liu Ahsan’s village were very cunning.

When Elder Chen heard that the emperor was fighting monsters, he brought the whole family to help the emperor.

Although Chen Dalang believed that his family was no match for the monsters, after all, they couldn’t even defeat the beasts that harmed the crops.

If it weren’t for the strict patrol of the imperial army, those beasts would have likely devoured them long ago.

But Chen Dalang couldn’t go against his father, and over the years, the family had indeed benefited greatly from the imperial army.

Therefore, even though Chen Dalang knew this was a deadly mission, he still brought the whole family along.

Only when they reached the Capital City did they realize it was a mistake. Not only was the emperor fine, but the family also received great royal favor.

This made Chen Dalang feel both ashamed and deeply grateful for the royal family’s kindness.

Liu Ahsan’s people were different.

Chen Dalang heard Liu Ahsan say that their village received news that the emperor had been attacked by a monster and had to eat a person every day to stay alive. Their whole village came to provide food for the emperor.

Only the Crown Prince and Elder Chen believed this story; Chen Dalang didn’t believe a word of it.

Especially when Chen Dalang heard that Liu Ahsan wanted to offer his chubby son as a medicinal lead for the emperor, he completely regarded Liu Ahsan as a fraud.

The reason was simple; if he thought about it personally, he wouldn’t bear to let even a hair of his own yellow-haired girl to be touched, let alone such a fair and chubby boy.

Liu Ahsan isn’t an ignorant madman, so how could he bear to send off such a good child as medicinal lead?

Moreover, he brought the entire village to offer as medicinal lead too.

If it were Chen Dalang, he would never do such a thing.

Chen Dalang was willing to bring his family to help the emperor fight monsters, but he would never be foolish enough to offer his family as food for the emperor.

Therefore, there must be something hidden in all this.

Either the people from Liu Ahsan’s village are all fools, or they knew there were benefits from the emperor and deliberately painted themselves as loyal to gain a share of the profits.

Chen Dalang always felt that the emperor and Crown Prince were too kind-hearted to recognize Liu Ahsan’s malicious intentions. But as for deceiving himself, that would be next to impossible!

This cunning and treacherous person even dared to imagine marrying his brother to their family’s daughter!

Liu Ahsan sat on the other side of Elder Chen. Seeing Chen Dalang frequently glare at him, although he found it a bit baffling, he had grown used to it over these days and didn’t think much of it.

Liu Ahsan focused more on the new-style radio in front of him.

On top of the radio was a Spirit Stone, and beneath it, the surface of the red brick had a mysterious Array composed of peculiar inscriptions. It looked both mysterious and dazzling.

Even without the strange sounds as the Daoist mentioned, just looking at this red brick was enchanting enough to watch all day without feeling bored.

On one hand, the inscriptions on the new-style radio were so mesmerizing, ever-changing, inspiring wonder.

On the other hand, Elder Chen and these farmers were truly bored.

In the Cultivation World, they were busy from dawn till dusk every day, barely having any free time, never knowing what boredom meant.

Now, in the New World, with little farming work to do, the fertile land needed no watering, no weeds in the fields, and they just had to wait for the harvest after planting the seeds.

Living like this for a day or two was fine, but a year and a half like this turned into a form of torture.

If not for the abundant Spiritual Energy in the New World silently nourishing people’s bodies, countless would have fallen ill and died already.

Although no one had died, many had severe psychological issues, especially farmers like Elder Chen who had worked all their lives. Suddenly stopping felt like losing their soul, completely unsure of what to do.

Moreover, living far apart from one another, there was no one to chat with, aggravating the boredom and emptiness.

This was also why Zhao Yi was concerned about the mental issues of the New World’s people.

Finally having something new, even if devoid of content, could improve these farmers’ overly monotonous and dull lives.

Liu Ahsan watched the red brick for a long time, liking it more the more he looked. Thinking of his kids at home, he couldn’t help but ask Elder Chen, "Grandpa, can I borrow this for a night to take home? My boy is nearly stifled; I’ll take it back and let him have a look."

Chen Dalang instinctively wanted to refuse upon hearing this.

To him, Liu Ahsan was a scammer, not to be trusted.

But Liu Ahsan said he wanted it for his child. Chen Dalang had seen his son, looking like a porcelain doll, rosy-cheeked and adorable.

If it was for that child, Chen Dalang could bear to lend it.

So, Chen Dalang opened his mouth but swallowed his words, ultimately not refusing.

Elder Chen glanced at his son, seeing him say nothing, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. Then he casually waved it off to Liu Ahsan, smiling, "Take it home later, play with it for a few days. If your boy is feeling stifled, have his uncle bring him over to our home. Kids should see more people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dalang knew his father was secretly matchmaking Liu Ahsan’s younger brother with their daughter.

He snorted coldly, refraining from contradicting out of respect for his father, but his expression was noticeably unhappy.

Liu Ahsan, knowing Chen Dalang’s bad temper, didn’t get upset and readily agreed with Elder Chen. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Liu Ahsan chuckled, "Grandpa, then I’ll thank you for the boy in advance."

Humph!

Chen Dalang let out another cold snort, then turned away, refusing to look at Liu Ahsan who acted gratefully after getting what he wanted.

Liu Ahsan was just about to speak when suddenly, the radio in front of him made a sound.

He instinctively asked the others, "Did you hear a sound?"

Chen Dalang also heard the sound and was about to speak when the radio sounded again.

"Hello, all farmers, this is the Xuanzhen Temple Brewing Department. I will now teach you how to brew wine..."

Hearing the endless stream of voices from the radio, their faces all showed signs of shock.
