Chapter 78

The beacon ability has been a tremendous help to Zhang Hao. Without mentioning other aspects, just in military terms, through the beacon ability, the use of the spacetime gate can enable unimaginably rapid maneuvers, completely unrestricted by terrain, time, or defenses, as if giving the army wings.

After capturing Luoyang, Zhang Hao used the intelligence personnel of Suifeng to deliver devices containing beacons to various places as much as possible. This was to ensure that when needed, he could directly launch rapid strikes. One could say that the beacon ability indirectly helped Zhang Hao save manpower.

However, only Zhang Hao can use the spacetime gate, so even though he doesn't need to worry about overseeing various regions and mobilizing troops, he still has to spend some effort on using the spacetime gate to open passages when necessary.

In addition to these matters, Zhang Hao is also gathering talented individuals and renowned doctors from various places, preparing to establish medical and engineering colleges to elevate the social status of doctors, craftsmen, and even merchants.

There are countless tasks, and during this time in the Three Kingdoms world, Zhang Hao has had no idle moments. This time, returning to the main world, when Su Linlang called to say she wanted to visit, Zhang Hao did not refuse, as he wanted to relax with the two of them.

Moreover, the Spring Festival is approaching in the main world, and Su Linlang and Shu Yun are already on summer break, having worked part-time for half a month. Su Linlang is fine since her home is in Qinzhou, but Shu Yun has to return to her hometown for the New Year. The next time they meet will likely be after the New Year, so it's natural to gather now.

"Come, cheers." Su Linlang held a can of beer, her face slightly flushed. This girl gets excited easily when she drinks. "Brother Dapeng, why didn't you prepare some garlic sprouts or something like that? Don't men usually like those aphrodisiacs? Oh, right, you're already so strong, so you don't care about these things."

"Linlang, what are you saying?!" Shu Yun, speechless, pinched Su Linlang.

"Ah, hahaha, Xiao Yun, you're still blushing. When the time comes, I bet you'll be rolling around in bed with Brother Dapeng." Su Linlang raised her eyebrows, looking at Shu Yun's glare, she quickly raised her hands. "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Brother Dapeng, do you have a sound system here? Let's find it and dance. Xiao Yun hasn't danced with a man before, only with me. Let her understand what real dancing is like."

Zhang Hao naturally did not refuse.

On the rooftop, they enjoyed the scenery, barbecued, drank beer, listened to music, and danced for a while. It wasn't until Su Linlang fell asleep that they finally stopped.

Well, doing these things on the rooftop in this season felt quite strange, but since Su Linlang requested it, Zhang Hao and Shu Yun could only accompany her.

After sending Su Linlang to the guest room to rest, the atmosphere between Zhang Hao and Shu Yun became somewhat intimate. Fortunately, Zhang Hao was quite experienced. Although his experiences in the Three Kingdoms world couldn't be applied to the modern world, he had been with enough women to not feel too awkward.

They chatted about their childhood and some people they both knew in the past, and the atmosphere quickly became warm.

"Brother Dapeng, do you know? After we left our hometown, I often think about those times. My biological father was addicted to gambling and often beat my mother and me. You led everyone to condemn my father. That day, he was drunk and wanted to hit you, but you fought back. A few kids beat up a drunk adult, and while fighting, you said you wanted him to know what it felt like to be beaten. Before leaving, you also told him that if he dared to hit me again, you would come back and beat him."

Shu Yun's eyes became misty, and she gently leaned on Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was taken aback. He still had some memory of this incident. Back then, he was quite mischievous. He also bullied the village kids, but after primary and middle school, when people from different villages mixed together, Zhang Hao realized the importance of unity and started to band together with Wang Zhi and others to protect the people from his village.

At that time, Shu Yun was not very noticeable, but Zhang Hao still remembered the incident with her father.

After all, a few kids fighting an adult was quite a big deal.

The key was that Shu Yun's biological father was too irresponsible. He originally did some small business and lived a good life, but after getting addicted to gambling, the family quickly fell apart. He also started drinking and causing trouble, often beating Shu Yun's mother and Shu Yun. The villagers couldn't stand it.

Zhang Hao remembered that not long after fighting Shu Yun's father, he got into a car accident while drunk and became paralyzed. Both parties were at fault, but the other side settled for compensation to avoid further trouble, which covered the medical expenses and some debts.

Shu Yun and her mother had a hard time. They lived in poverty. What was most admirable was that Shu Yun's mother took care of her paralyzed father until he passed away. She stayed in the village, worked hard to pay off the debts, and only after paying them off did she take Shu Yun back to her hometown.

It was in her hometown that Shu Yun's mother remarried.

These things, if not experienced personally, might be touching to hear, but ultimately lack a personal touch. For Zhang Hao, as his studies became more demanding, these memories faded into the background. If not for meeting Shu Yun in Qinzhou, he might not have remembered her at all.

"It's all in the past, and things will get better in the future." Seeing the tears in Shu Yun's eyes, Zhang Hao felt pity and hugged her, kissing away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Shu Yun's face turned slightly red, but she didn't refuse, only closing her eyes, her meaning clear.

Zhang Hao didn't hesitate and kissed Shu Yun's red lips.

They didn't do anything more, just leaned against each other, talking and occasionally kissing, the atmosphere very harmonious.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Yun, you really are a virtuous wife." Su Linlang, still sleepy, came out of the guest room and saw Shu Yun helping Zhang Hao wash clothes.

"Right." Seeing Zhang Hao, Su Linlang seemed to remember something and said, "Brother Dapeng, Xiao Yun prepared a gift for you. Did you receive it?"

Zhang Hao nodded. Shu Yun might have noticed that Zhang Hao's keys were scattered, so she specially gave him a very exquisite keychain.

"That's not Xiao Yun's real gift. Let me tell you, Xiao Yun is good at embroidery. She knitted a scarf recently, but later she thought it wasn't as pretty as the ones in the store, so she gave you the keychain instead. In my opinion, the scarf is much more valuable, every stitch is filled with affection."

"Linlang, you're talking nonsense again. Didn't we agree not to mention this?" Shu Yun, blushing and flustered, said.

"Haha, Brother Dapeng, I secretly brought the scarf. I'll go get it for you." Su Linlang laughed and ran out.

"I'm very grateful and touched. But don't do these things in the future. It's not that I don't like them, but as Linlang said, your affection is far more precious than money. I just don't want you to work too hard. I'm thinking of earning more money to let you live a comfortable life."

Zhang Hao held Shu Yun's hands and kissed them, saying.

"Hey, you two are progressing so fast. Tell me, did you do something while I was sleeping?"

At this moment, Su Linlang burst in, looking at their actions, she exclaimed.

Zhang Hao took the box Su Linlang threw and took out the gray scarf inside. Shu Yun's hands were very skillful, and the style was very fashionable. Zhang Hao liked it very much and immediately put it on to show the two of them.

Seeing that Zhang Hao genuinely liked it, Shu Yun, who was a bit worried, relaxed, and her heart felt warm.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao thought of something. He asked the two women to wait, went upstairs, and came back with a pile of things.

"Wow, Brother Dapeng, did you go robbing or did you really get rich? Are these all real?" Su Linlang, flipping through the things Zhang Hao laid out on the coffee table, couldn't help but say. Even as a wealthy and beautiful girl from a wealthy family, Zhang Hao's display still shocked her.

"Xiao Yun, come and look, they're all luxury brands." Su Linlang called out to Shu Yun.

After two trips, Zhang Hao felt that this was enough and stopped. These luxury items were collected by Zhang Hao in the "I Am Legend" world. But how much could he use himself? The rest were given as gifts to people in the Three Kingdoms world, and the rest were left there.

Of course, what Zhang Hao brought were all brand new. He collected them directly from stores in a small coastal town using a remote-controlled aircraft. He wouldn't give away used items.

These items may seem small in volume, but they are very valuable. Just the luxury watches, each one costs tens of thousands of dollars. But Zhang Hao didn't think about selling them. One, there was no need; if he needed money, he could exchange it for jade, yellow stone, and chicken blood stone. Two, these luxury items have serial numbers, but these numbers and certificates are not valid in the modern world. Selling them would only cause trouble.

"Hey, that's not right. Brother Dapeng, Chanel doesn't seem to have released this handbag, does it?"
