Chapter 64:
The world Su Li described wasnt entirely aligned with the settings in light novels where everything, aside from the realm, was similar to the mortal world.
Instead, it was a fusion of elements from light novels, Laoshans Strange Stories, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and other settings from his previous life. Whether or not Li Er believed, Su Li certainly did.
Ultimately, whether or not Li Er believed was inconsequential, he sought a reasonably plausible explanation. As for subsequent validation, Li Er would handle that himself.
Even if Su Lis words were incredibly convincing today, it was unrealistic for Li Er to believe wholeheartedly without his own verification efforts.
And Su Li, too, wanted a reasonable excuse to showcase his extraordinary abilities in the future or to create some curious and unusual items. Anything could work. He just said that he was a time traveler with a system. There was nothing that could not be revealed
However, considering this was ancient times, it was likely that Li Er might struggle to accept the concept of time travelers and systems, and explaining it would be troublesome. Su Li also disliked spoilers, and he did not want to get involved in the complex political situations of the Tang Dynasty, where Li Er and his son turned against each other. Spoilers were truly thankless, especially since everything had not happened yet.
However, given the eras strong belief in immortal legends, attributing strange occurrences to heavenly beings or Bai Yujings legends might be acceptable to Li Er. It could save a lot of explanations.
As Su Li had predicted, Li Er didnt enthusiastically inquire about heavenly beings after Su Lis explanation.
Despite being an emperor, Li Er still possessed rationality, even though he believed in the existence of immortals and gods.
He was skeptical about the credibility of Bai Yujing, but considering Yuan Tiangangs divination and Princess Changles awakening, Li Er reluctantly accepted Su Lis explanation.
Yet deep down, Li Er planned to consult Yuan Tiangang for more details. He naturally trusted Yuan Tiangang more than Su Li.
And Su Li finally found a reasonable excuse to obtain system products in the future.
At this stage, it was just an initial contact, and neither Li Er nor Su Li pushed the issue further. They both maintained a level of distance and suspicion. Li Er doubted Su Lis words, while Su Li suspected that once Li Er fully believed he was from Bai Yujing, he would inquire about heavenly beings.
This outcome was inevitable, but there was no better explanation in this era. Although it might seem clich in a novel, starting with the reveal of being a time traveler was not a good approach for Su Li, considering the historical context.
Su Li knew his relationship with Li Er wouldnt end with this conversation. They were in a phase of maintaining a peaceful distance.
Who knew how Li Er might react in the future when Su Lis behavior became more outrageous?
Would it be persuasion coated with charm or intimidation through power? It was hard to predict and depended on how Su Li managed to stir Li Ers interest.
In the end, it was clear that peoples hearts were easily swayed, especially someone like Li Er with a history like Xuanwu.
About Bai Yujing Im unsure about heavenly beings, but is there truly an art of longevity?
Li Ers curiosity surfaced. If what Su Li said was true, could people really achieve immortality?
While contemplating Li Ers personality, Su Li hesitated and used the attribute detector on Li Er.
Speaking of this, Princess Changles revered position alone could earn such a substantial amount of points.
On the flip side, considering that Li Er was the ruler of a nation, how many points should he generate?
Moreover, speaking earnestly, after avenging its past shame by defeating the Turks, the present-day Tang Dynasty had reached a point where it stood unrivaled in the world with its unparalleled national strength. By this logic, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to claim that Li Er, as the leader of the Tang Dynasty, held the highest status globally.
Name: Li Shimin
Age: 32
Strength: 92
Constitution: 91
Keen: 97
Perception: 96
Charm: 93
Status: Supreme
Initial intimacy: 2000 points/hour.
Level 2 intimacy: 3600 points/hour.
Level 3 intimacy: 7200 points/hour.
Level 4 intimacy: 10,000 points/hour.
Is that for real? Su Lis expression was filled with disbelief.
One could only say having attributes all above 90 was truly fitting for Li Er.
No matter how you looked at it, he was indeed the founder of the Tang Dynasty!
In his youth, he was a top General of the Heavenly Strategies. The contributions to Li Tang alone could rival those of many combined commanders.
Emperor Taizu even acclaimed him as the emperor with the most exceptional military achievements among all the emperors in history. Setting aside the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Ers abilities undoubtedly placed him at the forefront of emperors throughout various dynasties.
He excelled in both warfare and governance, making him the unrivaled ruler.
However Su Lis astonishment was not about Li Ers outstanding attributes.
But the rate at which Li Er was generating points!
It was twice as much as Princess Changles!
Twice! That was astonishing!
Holding hands for an hour could earn 2000 points!
Su Li was left utterly speechless!
Level 4 intimacy gave 10,000 points for an hour, which totaled 240,000 points in a day! Over 7 million points in a month! More than 80 million points in a year!
Oh, by the waythe fourth level of intimacy was quite unique
But this was already incredibly surprising.
What did this mean?
It meant that the points gained from fourth-level intimacy over two years were sufficient to exchange for those seemingly unattainable items in most system stores.
Remember, the complete set of seven dragon balls required just over five million points.
Of course this was an ideal scenario.
After all, it was uncertain if the fourth level of intimacy could be maintained for 24 hours
Of course, didnt misunderstand. Su Li naturally didnt harbor any negative thoughts about Li Er due to the points.
Instead, he began seriously pondering a significant issue.
Could Changle become an empress after all?
Objectively speaking, if Changle became the empress and as long as the Tang Dynastys power did not diminish, continuing to expand its territories, Changle should indeed attain the highest status.
It seemed he could also accumulate so many points from Changle.
Initially, it was just a feeling, but now Su Li genuinely considered it.
After all Su Li could not resist those highly-priced and alluring items in the system!
However, considering that Li Er had a positive outlook on him and he was the spouse of Princess Changle, winning over the empress would not be a simple task. It might be more practical to consider marrying a few more princesses together to gain influence.
Su Li and Li Er returned to the inner courtyard one after the other. Li Er looked serious, still pondering what Su Li mentioned about Bai Yujing. Meanwhile, Su Li was contemplating the possibility of Princess Changle becoming the empress or marrying multiple princesses. Of course it was just a fleeting idea. For now, Su Li didnt plan to do something so unconventional.
Neither of them had a happy expression. Princess Changle immediately approached Su Li, assuming her husband had faced some challenges, disregarding the gazes of Li Er and Zhangsun Wu Fei. She grabbed Su Lis arm and nervously spoke in a hushed voice.
Husband
Then she glanced at Li Er with a slightly displeased look.
Su Li patted Princess Changles small hand.
Li Er contemplated the credibility of Su Lis words and whether he should consult Yuan Tiangang to confirm. Unexpectedly, he received a resentful look from his child, wearing a slight pout. His expression instantly turned dark.
Hey! You just woke up, and youre already plotting behind my back? You dont trust your father that much? Li Er thought resentfully.
