Chapter 130: Researching Soul Guidance Device Switches

After the affairs in the Star Luo Empire were resolved, Jerry returned directly to the Spirit Hall.

As soon as he returned to the Spirit Hall, Jerry ran to the Cabinet of the Great Spirit Hall.

The twelve Cabinet Elders arrived one after another.

"In this recent period, has there been any trouble in any of the departments?" Jerry asked.

"Recently, there have been many scams, and most of them are Spirit Masters scamming ordinary residents," said Elder Magic Bear of the Military Department.

"Oh! What is going on?"

"The public security department under my jurisdiction has frequently received reports from ordinary civilians recently about being swindled by some Spirit Masters using various methods. We even caught several Spirit Masters staging accidents on the street to extort money!" said Elder Magic Bear.

"These Spirit Masters, not focusing on their Cultivation and instead going out to stage accidents, it really is something!" Jerry said.

"There is no help for it! It is not easy for many Spirit Masters to get by right now. Moreover, many of these original residents are ordinary people who have money in their hands!"

"Ordinary people have money in their hands? This is the first time I have heard of this. Even if they have money, could they possibly have more than Spirit Masters?"

"That is not the case. Nowadays, many Spirit Masters use their money for Cultivation. These Spirit Masters are only registered with the Spirit Hall and do not participate in work. Furthermore, since they cannot hunt Soul Beasts to take people to obtain Spirit Rings, and they do not like to participate in Soul Fighting, many Spirit Masters only have expenses and no income!"

"Then why don't they find work in Wuhun City?" Jerry said.

"Alas! This group of people are all arrogant and conceited after becoming Spirit Masters; how could they possibly go to work! So they thought of scamming and staging accidents!"

"Then why did they target ordinary residents? Shouldn't they have targeted people from large families instead?"

"People from large families all have influence, so they do not dare. Besides, the original residents are truly wealthy now. Many of them rely on collecting rent and have quite a bit of income every month! The housing prices are too high now, so a group of people who make a living by collecting rent has emerged. These people have money, but they are ordinary people themselves and do not need to spend money on Cultivation, which has created the current phenomenon where ordinary people are wealthier than Spirit Masters!"

"So that is the situation! Housing prices still need to be controlled! It is not a good thing for ordinary people to have too much money in their hands without it circulating. Money must circulate to be considered money; if it is always clutched in their hands, it is nothing. No wonder they are being targeted!" Jerry said.

"Yes, ordinary people basically spend very little money in their daily lives," said Elder Magic Bear.

Jerry had previously only thought about earning money from Spirit Masters because Spirit Masters were wealthy! So it resulted in Spirit Masters having no money now, while ordinary people have become increasingly wealthy. However, their consumption is low, preventing this money from circulating, which is very troublesome!

What is the most profitable? Naturally, it is Soul Guidance Devices, but ordinary people have no soul power at all, so even if they were given Soul Guidance Devices, they could not use them!

He had obtained the Rule symbols for hardness and sturdiness in Slaughter Town, and now they could be used!

"Lan Qiaoqin, Minister of the Development Department, the rise in housing prices is related to you all; there are simply too few houses!" Jerry said.

"Lord Jerry, you might not know, but construction outside Wuhun City has already reached the tenth ring. Work has not stopped for these past few years; there is really no other way!" Lan Qiaoqin said.

"How about this! Renovate the old houses and convert them all into high-rise buildings! How about this: these next few days I will go to the site with you and personally build a large building!" Jerry said.

"By the way, where did ordinary people or Spirit Masters spend the most money before?" Jerry asked.

"I know this. They used to go to brothels; ordinary people went, and Spirit Masters went too! However, Lord Jerry, you previously prohibited the opening of brothels in Wuhun City, so now ordinary people have one less place for high consumption."

A flock of crows flew through Jerry's mind. Sure enough, no matter which world it is, gambling, prostitution, and drugs are always the most profitable! However, after Jerry began managing the Spirit Hall, he banned them directly.

"Alright then! Let's stop here for today. We will bring down the housing prices first, and I will research Soul Guidance Devices that ordinary people can also use," Jerry said.

Returning home, Jerry took out his previous Soul Guidance Devices; every Soul Guidance Device required the input of soul power to start.

Jerry truly could not understand how to make them work without soul power. Although there were many mechanical devices in his past life, a single electronic component could stump Jerry.

It seemed he still had to start with the Soul Guidance Devices. After thinking it over, Jerry could only think of starting with the switch.

Subsequently, Jerry took out a Soul Power Stove. Originally, one would input soul power, and a flame would appear, which could be used to light a fire and cook.

How could he make it work without inputting soul power?

If he added soul power at the switch and designed the switch as a button or a rotating dial—thinking of this, Jerry began his experiment.

Ordinary stoves do not have an Energy Storage Device and are all supplied through pipes. Only when the switch is activated can the energy inside be accessed; when not activated, the energy cannot be accessed. In this case, he could only install a small Energy Storage Device at the switch. Twisting or pressing the switch would release the soul power within the switch to activate the Soul Guidance Device.

Then Jerry began to make the switch. First, he set up an Energy Storage Device that automatically released energy, and then he added a rotating switch at the connection point of the patterns.

Jerry tried it out. When the switch was twisted straight, the Energy Storage Device stopped releasing soul power; then, when twisted flat, the switch began to release soul power. How did it feel a bit like a water faucet? Forget it, as long as it works!

Subsequently, Jerry installed this switch onto the Stove Soul Guidance Device, then twisted it flat, and the Stove Soul Guidance Device immediately emitted a flame.

Success!

This switch was a major breakthrough for Jerry. In this way, ordinary households could install Soul Guidance Stoves, Soul Guidance Lighting, Soul Guidance Ovens, Soul Guidance Water Heaters, and so on.

This switch is simple. Most of these household Soul Guidance Devices are equivalent to Level 1 Soul Guidance Devices. Spirit Hall's Soul Guidance Master class, it is time for you to put in some effort.

Afterwards, Jerry redesigned the production methods for all these household Soul Guidance Devices, compiled them into a booklet, and then took this booklet to the academy to find his master!

When he arrived at the Soul Guidance Master class, there were quite a few people inside!

"Lord Jerry!"

"Lord Jerry."

"Lord Jerry has come to see us!"

With so many people greeting Jerry, Jerry felt wonderful inside. He then said, "Where is your teacher?"

At this moment, a student said, "After Teacher Chrysanthemum finished the lecture, he went to do other things. I heard he seems to be building some new venue!"

Oh no, he forgot one thing. Before he went to the Star Luo Empire, he had given his master a task!

"Thank you! Since my master is not here, I will give you a lecture!" Jerry said.

"Great, great! I heard Lord Jerry is a Level 9 Soul Guidance Master. It is wonderful that he can give us a lecture!"

"Everyone, be quiet! Today I am giving you an experimental class! The production of a Soul Guidance Stove—not the current Soul Guidance Stove, but a Soul Guidance Stove that even ordinary people can use. I have one here; let me demonstrate it for everyone to see!"

"The principle of the Soul Guidance Stove is..."

"I will distribute the materials now. In this class, everyone will start making them. Treat it as a class assignment and hand it in before the end of class! I will be guiding you from the side."

"For those who produce them quickly and pass, I will distribute another set of materials for everyone to practice with for free!"

"Lord Jerry is so kind!"

"That is right, distributing materials to us for free. Thank you, Lord Jerry!"

"Thank you, Lord Jerry!"

Watching this group of students earnestly begin to make the Soul Guidance Devices and keep thanking Jerry, this batch of students was truly excellent and had a bright future.
