Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 590 - 588: Returning to the Present to Buy "Weapons

Chapter 590: Chapter 588: Returning to the Present to Buy "Weapons

Exiting the Sun Mansion, Lin Wanwan swayed back and forth in the carriage heading toward Kaihua Square.

With Princess Changle Li Lizhi backing the soap business and Immortal Sun in charge of the spirits, Lin Wanwan was on stable ground if she wanted to develop her business.

Returning to Bamboo Garden, Lin Wanwan saw Kun Lun, who had been brought back, covered in cuts and bruises. She disinfected what needed disinfecting and stitched up what needed stitching.

After treating Kun Lun, she went to the residence of Ali, who had been hit by an arrow. Ali’s fever had subsided, and the most dangerous time had passed; now it was just a matter of slowly recovering.

After taking care of the patients, Lin Wanwan accompanied little Qingyu and Xiao Yixun for dinner, followed by a reading session.

After both had fallen asleep, Lin Wanwan returned to her room, locked the door, took off her outer robe, let down her hair, and returned to the modern time.

Today in the Great Tang, she accomplished many tasks, and now back in the modern era, she felt a bit fatigued but mentally relaxed.

The modern environment didn’t require the caution she had to maintain in Great Tang Chang’an City, making it a lot more relaxed.

After lying on the bed for a short while, Lin Wanwan changed into a black down jacket, put on a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, grabbed her phone, and went out.

A few days ago, she ordered two high-quality nail guns online, one powered by gas and the other by gunpowder.

She also got to know a small outdoor gear shop owner through a rather wild antique shop owner on the Great Tang Night City Pedestrian Street, who slightly modified the two nail guns for her.

Today was the day she’d arranged to pick them up.

A place like the Ancient City really hides talents.

The outdoor gear shop where Lin Wanwan was stationed appeared to be a straightforward shop, but it was actually an arsenal for various "enthusiasts."

Wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, Lin Wanwan paid in cash, following the store’s rules. Outdoor gear could be paid by scan, but modifications required cash, and no credit was allowed.

The two nail guns were packed in their original boxes, which would not attract any attention. After all, they’re not anything special, almost every carpenter and repairman had one.

However, these nail guns could serve as Lin Wanwan’s secret weapon in the Great Tang!

No matter how skilled in martial arts, one shot could take them down.

Even the pneumatic nail gun, powered by gunpowder, could easily pierce a one-centimeter thick steel plate.

As Lin Wanwan left the outdoor gear shop, situated in a corner of the city, preparing to hail a taxi home, her phone rang. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Raising her eyes, she saw it was a call from Lu Shouyue.

"Mr. Lu, are you back?" The two had been in contact via WeChat earlier, and Lu Shouyue mentioned he’d return from Hong Kong Island soon.

"Yes, just got off the plane. Where are you now, Wanwan? We have some rare Iranian beluga caviar at the auction house, and I bought some. Want to join me for dinner tonight?"

Lin Wanwan chuckled, "I’m not sure how good this caviar is, but if it’s at the auction, it’s surely precious. Why didn’t Mr. Lu ask Boss Xie to handle it?"

Lu Shouyue laughed, "Wanwan, if you don’t mind the trouble, we could fly back to Yongcheng to find Old Xie, and fly back to the Ancient City after dinner."

Lin Wanwan laughed, "You must be joking, Mr. Lu?"

"No, it’s completely normal."

Lu Shouyue was gradually unveiling more luxurious habits to Lin Wanwan, no longer hiding his extravagant way as a wealthy young master who would go to great lengths to enjoy good food.

"Forget it, I’m too tired." Lin Wanwan, though also a foodie, couldn’t indulge in such luxury.

Sometimes, Lin Wanwan felt she was disgracing the title of a time-traveler. Others who time-traveled would either become an emperor in ancient times or conquer e-commerce giants like Taobao and JD in modern times. Yet here she was, just managing a decent life in both eras.

"Alright, where are you now? I’ll come to find you."

Lin Wanwan had already hailed a taxi: "I’m on my way back to the courtyard, see you in a bit."

"Okay."

As Lin Wanwan approached the courtyard gate with her two nail gun boxes, Lu Shouyue was already leaning against the gate, playing a game on his phone.

The setting sun cast a shadow, and the evening breeze lightly brushed by. He wore a casually open black down jacket, paired with simple washed jeans. His demeanor was relaxed and casual, nothing special fashion-wise, yet it exuded a noble charm.

Perhaps it was the two vigilant black-coated men and the chefs in their hats standing not far from him that emphasized the scene.

"Mr. Lu!" Lin Wanwan waved in greeting.

Lu Shouyue lifted his head from the mobile game, his inky eyes shining with a special light in the sun. Smiling, it was like misty moonlight: "Wanwan, you’re back."

Just a simple sentence, and Lin Wanwan’s mood inexplicably improved.

It felt like the way you feel when you find someone left the light on for you at home, a warmth that you’re reluctant to let go.

Lin Wanwan opened the door to invite everyone in: "Why do you have two extra black-coated men today?"

Lu Shouyue casually replied, "Did you see the recent news from Hong Kong Island? My grandma is worried about me and insisted on having two bodyguards follow me closely."

"Oh, you mean the socialite who was murdered over money?" Lin Wanwan recalled, sighing, "Such a beautiful girl, and her ex-husband had the heart to do it."

Lu Shouyue said, "Some people only see money and profit and have no humanity. So, Wanwan, make sure you don’t marry into a lower-value situation."

Lin Wanwan’s face flushed slightly, feeling there was more to his words.

"It’s not really about marrying into a lower-value situation; it’s more about poor background checks. Her entire family had bad character."

Lu Shouyue’s lips curled into a faint smile, refraining from further comment. It was time for dinner, and such bloody news wasn’t suitable for pre-dinner chat.

"Wanwan, it looks like you’re planning to stay in the Ancient City for a while. When do you plan to return to Yongcheng?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but sigh, "Another few months, I suppose."

Lu Shouyue asked, puzzled, "Why do you sound hesitant?"

Ah? Was it that obvious?

Lin Wanwan quickly flashed a business-like smile, "No, no, I just enrolled in a traditional Chinese medicine advancement class at the Ancient Capital Medical College, staying back for the learning experience."

"Oh." Lu Shouyue looked her deeply in the eyes, "Not bad. If I fall sick one day, I’ll come to you, Dr. Lin?"

Somehow, the way Lu Shouyue said "Dr. Lin" had a lingering tone as if he’d been taking romance lessons rather than conducting business trips these past weeks.

Why did it feel like he was starting to flirt?

The dinner consisted of Kobe beefsteak and caviar, along with a few seafood cold dishes. Once the chefs finished their work, they retreated, and the two black-coated men either went to grab their meals or guarded the door, minimizing their presence.

Lin Wanwan munched away while scrolling through her phone, suddenly captivated by a message that popped up in her middle school group chat.
