Chapter 56: Handing Over the Micro Card, Xian Lin'er

Bai Zhou returned to the Outer Court, and life became peaceful again.

During the day and night, he jumped back and forth between Tang Ya's and Wang Dong's rooms, his time management extremely on point.

He took time to tease Jiang Nannan with the Micro Card. Jiang Nannan, who had avoided replying at first, later replied occasionally, and now had begun to take the initiative to share interesting things in her life with Bai Zhou.

This was a good sign.

As for Ma Xiaotao, she broke her promise as expected and hadn't been seen for several days.

Bai Zhou had expected this long ago and naturally didn't care much, just sending Ma Xiaotao messages every day with the Micro Card; 'good morning' and 'good night' were essential.

Ma Xiaotao hid from Bai Zhou at first, using cultivation as an excuse.

However, when Ma Xiaotao saw that Bai Zhou didn't seem to care much, she simply stopped pretending. She was a bit cautious at first, but later she took the initiative to tease Bai Zhou on the Micro Card.

Of course, it was just verbal sparring.

As soon as Bai Zhou said he wanted to fight offline, Ma Xiaotao instantly chickened out.

Half a month later.

Soul Tool Department, laboratory.

Bai Zhou looked at the black "brick" in his hand and finally showed a satisfied expression.

Through the Wishing System, Bai Zhou obtained the blueprints he wanted and manufactured a brand-new "Micro Card."

The current Micro Card only required the injection of soul power, and then using mental power, one could engrave the content they wanted on it, turn it into text, and then send it out.

The only drawback was that each transmission required the consumption of spiritual power; an ordinary Soul Elder could send at most a few dozen messages before feeling obvious fatigue.

Although the new Micro Card's functions were simple and had drawbacks.

But the technical content was extremely high. If Bai Zhou didn't have the Wishing System, he would have needed at least a year to overcome this difficulty on his own.

After all, this kind of technology, let alone trash Shrek, hadn't even appeared in the Sun Moon Empire.

Bai Zhou made two new Micro Cards and then found Xian Lin'er to demonstrate the functions of the new Micro Card.

Seeing the effect of the new Micro Card, Xian Lin'er was also amazed and found it a bit hard to believe.

"This... this can actually transmit information with mental power, and the information is so accurate! How on earth did you do it..."

Xian Lin'er stared at Bai Zhou with burning eyes, as if looking at a great treasure.

"Hehe, I just fumbled around a bit and made it~" Bai Zhou rubbed his head and said modestly.

"Forget it, if this could be fumbled out at will, how would those Soul Tool Masters who have studied communication technology for decades live..."

Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes lightly.

Research on "long-distance communication" was considered a very popular topic in the Soul Tool Master Association.

She was registered in the Soul Tool Master Association, so she naturally knew some secrets.

The products that dozens of Soul Tool Masters had studied for half their lives were not as easy to use as the new Micro Card in Bai Zhou's hand.

Although Bai Zhou's Micro Card still had many flaws, as long as it was slightly improved, it could be mass-produced and applied in various fields, and its commercial value was immeasurable.

However, surprise was surprise; Xian Lin'er had no intention of pursuing Bai Zhou's secrets at all, but instead earnestly warned: "Little White, I know you may have obtained some opportunities, but an innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him guilty. You can show off your talent to your heart's content, but it's best not to let people know that you designed these brand-new soul tools..."

"Teacher, I know. I said before that if I wanted to sell the blueprints, I would prioritize the Academy. Now I intend to sell the blueprints to the Academy." Bai Zhou nodded and said earnestly.

"Little White, you misunderstood. I just wanted you not to be too sharp-edged; I wasn't threatening you to sell the blueprints..."

Xian Lin'er thought Bai Zhou had misunderstood her words just now, and she panicked, hurriedly explaining.

"Teacher, I didn't misunderstand. This was originally my idea. After all, you treat me so well, it's only right for me to give back some." Bai Zhou looked directly at Xian Lin'er, his eyes full of sincerity.

Of course, he wasn't thanking Shrek, but Xian Lin'er.

He had paid expensive tuition to get in; Shrek cultivating him was only right and proper, and this was just a transaction.

But the resources he was getting now far exceeded the normal scope, and these were all fought for by Xian Lin'er, who even owed quite a few favors for it, which really had nothing to do with Shrek. "It's best if you think this way. Whatever you want, as long as the Academy can afford it, Teacher will fight for it for you!" Xian Lin'er said with great gratification.

"I want you..."

Bai Zhou hurriedly held back his true thoughts.

Then he said solemnly: "I am willing to donate the Micro Card blueprints to the Soul Tool Department for free. However, if the Academy mass-produces Micro Cards, I want 10% of the profits."

"No."

What surprised Bai Zhou was that Xian Lin'er rejected Bai Zhou's proposal directly, then said earnestly: "10% is too little. I will fight for 50% of the net profit for you. The Academy can earn a little less, but I absolutely cannot let my student lose out!"

"Moreover, you are currently at the time when you need resources the most. I will advance you 1 million gold soul coins and rewards worth 5 million gold soul coins. You take them and use them first, and then slowly deduct them from your future earnings. If it's not enough, come find me again."

Xian Lin'er said this naturally because she had received the bill for Bai Zhou's "loan" at the Treasure Pavilion.

The Soul Tool Department had money, and all bills were paid in advance by the Soul Tool Department, and then the students were asked to repay them slowly.

As the "General Manager" of the Soul Tool Department, Xian Lin'er naturally knew about this.

"Alright, then I'll listen to Teacher~" Bai Zhou was slightly stunned and instantly showed a brilliant smile.

Xian Lin'er was still the one who treated him best.

After Bai Zhou finished speaking, he handed over the design blueprints he had prepared long ago, as well as all the details involved in making the Micro Card, to Xian Lin'er.

Bai Zhou believed that the market for the Micro Card was absolutely unimaginable. As long as Shrek thoroughly researched the Micro Card and mass-produced it, the future revenue would be an astronomical figure.

And this time would definitely not be too long; within a year, he would receive a large sum of income.

It was just that what Bai Zhou didn't expect was that Xian Lin'er was so generous, not only advancing 1 million gold soul coins but also having resources worth 5 million gold soul coins!

If all these resources were digested, Bai Zhou didn't even know how powerful he would become.

"Alright, I'll handle the procedures for you. Teacher is a bit tired; you massage my feet."

Xian Lin'er waved her hand lightly, then lay down, took off her shoes, and stuffed her feet into Bai Zhou's arms, clearly wanting to relax properly.

"Oh, oh..."

Bai Zhou hurriedly took Xian Lin'er's small feet.

He sat down familiarly and began to massage them very earnestly.

He had done this kind of thing many times.

Naturally, it was easy for him.

And Xian Lin'er seemed to like having him massage her feet very much.

It used to be once a day, but now it was twice a day.

Bai Zhou felt that he was almost becoming Xian Lin'er's exclusive technician.

Bai Zhou massaged very earnestly, cautiously, and extremely gently.

It was like polishing an exquisite piece of art.

At first.

Bai Zhou actually still couldn't suppress his instincts.

But after getting used to it, he could already control it.

Not letting it make a fool of himself.

What Bai Zhou didn't know was that at this moment, Xian Lin'er's cheeks were exceptionally rosy.

Her heartbeat was also several times faster than usual...

Because she was thinking at this moment whether or not to give Bai Zhou a reward...
