Chapter 528: Dog God, May This Prosperous Age Be As You Wished
Qingshan Ridge, a research laboratory inside the mountain.
Fourteen "Artificial Ninth-Rank Cultivators" floated silently in the air, the dim blue luster they emitted illuminating the faces of over thirty onlookers.
Actually, calling them "Artificial Ninth-Rank Cultivators" is not quite appropriate; they are not human-shaped at all, and should rather be called some kind of high-intelligence military weapon, or a Ninth-Rank intelligent spell-casting platform. It is just that, like a Spirit Cultivator, they have solidified many types of spells, and they happen to be roughly comparable to a Ninth-Rank Cultivator. Using this world's spirit soul fusion technology combined with programming to grant them near-human intelligence, they are temporarily called by this name.
In terms of appearance, they are objects carved from crystal-clear energy crystals, suspended in the air, with the dim blue luster brightening and dimming like breathing.
Chen Shu could feel the immense energy within them.
This is the young girl's research project.
A total of fourteen were manufactured, and the power of the spells they cast is close to that of a normal Ninth-Rank Spirit Cultivator, which is extremely terrifying.
It is just a pity that such a result relies almost entirely on the energy of the Heavenly Palace, and this is non-replicable; only these fourteen could be created in total, and it sacrificed the Heavenly Palace, which possessed great strategic deterrent power for Yiguo.
"We call it 'Qing Mo'."
A researcher wearing a white lab coat standing in the front introduced it. He caught a glimpse of the project's lead, who was hiding in the crowd, but that Doctor Ning, who was usually serious and difficult to get along with, was now exceptionally well-behaved, like a little girl staying next to her parent.
"There are fourteen Qing Mo in total, from Unit 1 to Unit 14. They are as powerful as Ninth-Rank Cultivators, so they can pass through the Plane barriers, and they can also maintain normal operation in that withered and broken Plane.
"They possess a certain degree of intelligence and can fight completely independently, but after all, they are not as good as real humans. Therefore, the best method is to coordinate with humans, preferably with systems such as Wangting Sword Sect, Martial Cultivators, Demon Race, Night People, and the Buddhist Sect, or to fight under human command. So, if it encounters humans, it will prioritize obeying human orders, treating the humans it meets as superiors; if there are no humans, it will fight independently.
"The priority order is as follows:
"Commander Ning Qing has the highest priority and can control them remotely; she can also assign them to the several Excellencies who have previously had practice with them, or command them to fight independently or in groups.
"Sword King, Wangting Sword Sect member Zhong Xiuxian, and Wu Eiwei have the second priority, because Wangting Sword Sect members are very skilled at coordinating with modern military weapons.
"In addition, everyone else has equal priority. When scattered in various places, in the process of receiving instructions from the commander to gather, or if they cannot receive instructions, or if the commander assigns it to your side according to the situation, in short, as long as you encounter it, you automatically obtain its command authority..."
Chen Shu stared intently at these "Qing Mo," as if he could see those spells from their glowing bodies.
Indeed, they are more suitable for those systems whose combat methods are primarily mid-to-short range, especially suitable for pairing with Wangting Sword Sect members. The True Ultimate Sword Dao of the Wangting Sword Sect is essentially calling for modern strategic weapon strikes, which can bring out their strength very well.
Some Cultivators have already practiced with them.
However, due to time constraints, not all Cultivators could spend time practicing with them, and at least for a Spirit Cultivator like Chen Shu, there was no such need.
"Yiguo has spent a fortune."
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat moved.
In fact, the number and quality of the Ninth-Rank Cultivators they are sending out this time exceed those of the previous Plane by a lot. Added to other multi-faceted preparations, their strength is far, far greater than the lineup sent out in the previous Plane, and it also far exceeds the values calculated by Ning Qing and the New Saint of the previous Plane that would lead to victory. But in this matter, there is never an end; there is no strongest, only stronger.
This is a life-and-death battle that cannot be repeated. Facing opponents in the darkness, any probability of defeat, even the slightest, is a great irresponsibility to civilization.
Even if the win rate has already reached 99.99%, one must still fight with all their might and add a few more nines at the end.
One week later, Lingzhou, Spirit Sect.
Chen Shu returned to retrieve his Artifact.
The Spirit Cultivator system does not rely on Artifacts, weapons, or the like, but there are some somewhat useful Artifacts that can enhance certain offensive and defensive capabilities. After Chen Shu obtained them, he happened to test them a few times behind the Spirit Sect. By now, he had already put them away and was just sitting quietly on the roof of Yuling Hall, watching the lights of the ancient town below.
The statue of the Spirit Saint has stood in the square for nearly a thousand years, its surface roughened under the moonlight.
Suddenly, his Mobile Phone vibrated.
"Buzz, buzz."
Haoran: @All members
Grandma Always Says: You @ your grandma's ball
Nameless Person: Your reaction is so fast!
Haoran: Everyone, there are seven days left until we head to the different Plane. This journey is long, the future is unknown, and life and death are unpredictable.
Gate of All Wonders: The group owner is about to give a speech.
Gate of All Wonders: Looks very serious.
Gate of All Wonders: You guys don't make a sound.
Grandma Always Says: You type pretty fast when you're being a lackey.
Haoran: I have a proposal.
Haoran: Serious.
Grandma Always Says: Serious your grandma's ball.
Grandma Always Says was muted for 1 minute by Haoran.
Haoran: We are all going to a different Plane; who knows who might not come back. Since everyone has some social death moments, why not post them and see?
Gate of All Wonders: /Surprise
Gate of All Wonders: I always thought that only Qingcai Caike could come up with this kind of proposal.
Gate of All Wonders: How could...
Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, +1.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: +1.
Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: +1.
Jiang Lai: It really sounds like something Brother Chen would say.
Suddenly Stopped Speaking: +1.
Qingcai Keke: Stereotypes are not good.
One minute had already passed.
Grandma Always Says: You motherf...
Grandma Always Says: Makes sense!
Grandma Always Says: Good proposal!
Grandma Always Says: Then let's start with you, hurry up and post your social death scene for us to see!!!
Qingcai Keke: Same as above.
Qingcai Keke: @Haoran
Haoran: The two of you start first.
Zhang Suannai: Why?
Qingcai Keke: Same as above.
Haoran: You two have rich experience in this area, especially you @Zhang Suannai, you should take the lead.
Zhang Suannai: Why though?
Qingcai Keke: Same as above.
Zhang Suannai: You are the group owner, you should take the lead.
Qingcai Keke: Same as above.
Zhang Suannai: And didn't you propose this?
Qingcai Keke: Same as above.
Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, is this the reason why Qingcai Caike did not propose it?
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Profound and mysterious, the mystery of mysteries.
Wuming Renshi: /Shock
Chen Shu saw these few messages and suddenly thought back to when he had just started his freshman year; at that time, they were the ones who popped up in the group most often.
Haoran, Zhang Suannai, Qingdeng Gufu, Zhong Miao Zhimen, Qingcai Keke, and Wuming Renshi were chatting very happily.
Calculating it, that was already a matter from the year 5020.
Now it is almost the year 5029.
But counting on one's fingers, when will the west wind arrive, and one does not notice how the fleeting years have secretly changed.
"Buzz buzz."
Haoran:...
Zhang Suannai: Hurry up! Be quick! If you post, we guarantee we will post!
Chen Shu remained calm, long-pressed, and copied.
Qingcai Keke: Hurry up! Be quick! If you post, we guarantee we will post!
Haoran:...
Haoran: Forget it, pretend I didn't mention it.
Qingcai Keke: Sigh...
Qingcai Keke: /Complex expression
Qingcai Keke: As expected, relying on you all is unreliable.
Qingcai Keke: Then I shall throw out a brick to attract jade.
Qingcai Keke: 【Video】
Qingcai Keke: Don't thank me.
Jianzhou, Sword Sect, the signal is not very good.
Zhang Suannai sat on that giant rock inscribed with the two characters "Sword Sect"; unlike before, this time she was there brazenly. Someone flew over on a Sword from afar, but Zhang Suannai only glanced at him, not afraid of being reported.
Anyway, no one can beat her now.
The video was slowly loading, but from the video cover, she could already tell whose video it was.
Her mood was momentarily heavy, her fists clenched tight.
It just so happened that the Inner Sect Disciple riding the Sword passed by.
"What are you looking at? Get lost!"
The other party replied in a friendly manner:
"Your mother's..."
A friendly exchange, a friendly atmosphere.
Lowering her head, the video finished loading.
Zhang Suannai opened it with a heavy heart.
"Why won't you let me go to the bathroom?
"I can't hold it anymore!
"Nonsense! I am a man!
"If I, a man, don't go to the men's room, should I go to the women's room? I won't do that!
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Although she had expected it, she still couldn't help it; a gritted-teeth "fuck" resounded through the night sky of the Sword Sect mountain gate, reaching straight to the Milky Way.
The Mobile Phone was thrown several meters away.
However, what was unexpected was that the quality of this Mobile Phone was actually so good; it didn't break even like this, and instead continued to play the video, with sounds constantly coming from it.
"Go ahead, remember to close the door properly.
"What is this for?
"Oh, this is a urinal, used by boys to pee, you go into that.
"Why?
"Don't you want to go to the bathroom?
"I want to pee...
"You go into that!"
"I'm a boy... I need to pee... This is for boys to pee in... I'm going to pee right here... How does this thing work again? I forgot all of a sudden."
"Forget it if you've forgotten, just go into the stall."
"No! I want to pee in the urinal!"
"You're definitely not a boy!"
"I am a boy!"
"Boys usually don't pee in urinals! Unless all the stalls are occupied! Look at you, the stalls are clearly empty, yet you insist on peeing in the urinal! Don't try to argue, you're definitely a girl!"
"Why?"
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Zhang Suannai had already clutched her head, her features twisted.
Why did she have to endure this...
She had clearly already forgotten it! Why did she have to be made to remember it again! And these memories, surfacing after so many years, were actually so clear in her mind, practically as if they were new! Was it because they hadn't been used?
"Ahhhhhhh..."
Just thinking about how everyone in the group was holding their Mobile Phone across the length and breadth of this country, admiring her foolish appearance, gave her the urge to destroy the world.
"Because I'm afraid of being compared!"
"Oh!!! I am a boy... I'm going to go into the stall to pee... Standing outside to pee, I'm afraid of being compared..."
The video ended here.
Zhang Suannai's expression suddenly recovered; she put down the hands clutching her head, rubbed her face that had just been twisted, and went to pick up her Mobile Phone with a calm face, without even a single wail or cry, just silently flipping through her inventory.
Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
You want to start a nuclear war, right? You started this.
Grandma Always Says: 【Video】
It was still a slow upload.
Yujing, Eastern Palace.
The fragrance of plum blossoms at night makes one's heart calm.
But the person in the room could not calm their heart; being able to hold back their laughter was already the astonishing self-restraint of a member of the Imperial Family.
"Interesting, interesting..."
Eventually, he simply stopped holding it back, and such unbridled laughter erupted from the Eastern Palace for the first time.
"Hahahaha..."
Laughing is one thing, but typing could not stop.
Haoran: @Grandma Always Says
Haoran: Aren't you going to counterattack?
Gate of All Wonders: Finally not @ing me, that's not easy.
Haoran: I couldn't help it this time.
Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, if this poor monk isn't mistaken, it should already be on its way.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: The Sword Sect's internet speed is trash.
Gate of All Wonders: Nuclear strike detected in transit.
Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: So scary, so excited, so thrilled, so looking forward to it.
Grandma Always Says: 【Video】
The group owner's hand speed was extremely fast; she clicked to open it in a second and loaded it in a second.
An adult crying loudly came into view.
"Waa..."
"Don't cry, don't cry! I'll get you an ice cream!... Sister Suannai, help me watch my brother-in-law, don't let him fall, I'm going to get him an ice cream!"
"Rest assured... your mother sold you to us."
"Waa..."
"..."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, just like that, take a pee, and there you go, you have water! Then you can play with mud! No, no, no! That's not how you take it off, do you see those two little strings, grab one end of the string..."
The smile on the group owner's face could simply not be contained.
Grandma Always Says: I watched it again.
Grandma Always Says: It killed me with laughter.
Haoran: Returning to childhood innocence, very nice /snicker
Nameless Person: A bit interesting.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: /facepalm
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Image collapsed.
Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: Hahaha, Senior Brother Chen becoming a child is too funny, I really want to bully him a little too.
Suddenly Shut Mouth Standing: /dying of laughter
Jiang Lai: /dying of laughter
Gate of All Wonders: Saved.
Then below was a continuous string of +1s.
Grandma Always Says: Do you regret it? @Qingcai Keke
Qingcai Keke: /picking nose
Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Donor Grandma, you underestimate Donor Qingcai. Given Donor Qingcai's personality, perhaps she is laughing at herself right now too.
Gate of All Wonders: Agreed.
Qingcai Keke: /Simpering smile
Qingcai Keke: It's your turn.
Grandma Always Says: It's your turn.
Gate of All Wonders: @Haoran Zhengqi
Haoran Zhengqi: What?
Haoran Zhengqi: /Confused
Haoran Zhengqi: Sorry, I don't have any social death scenes.
Qingcai Keke:?
Qingcai Keke: @Grandma Always Says
Grandma Always Says: You motherfucker, you aren't trying to welch, are you?
Haoran Zhengqi: Welch on what?
Haoran Zhengqi: Go back and check the chat history.
Haoran Zhengqi: You all said that as long as I posted, you would definitely post, but I never said that if you posted, I would definitely post.
Haoran Zhengqi: Besides, I really don't have any.
Qingcai Keke: /Black guy question mark face
Qingcai Keke: Someone! Kick this dog group owner!
Grandma Always Says: Is this the character of the Dayi Imperial Family? I'm in love, I'm in love.
Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, this shouldn't be.
Gate of All Wonders: It really shouldn't be.
Nameless Person: Group owner, let us see yours.
Haoran Zhengqi: I don't have any /shrug
Haoran Zhengqi: It's late, let's end the chat here for today.
Haoran Zhengqi: Good night, everyone.
Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: In my impression, the group owner was an upright group owner who dared to act and take responsibility.
Suddenly Shut Mouth and Stand: Just post it, brother.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: I can't even watch this anymore.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: I'll help him.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: 【Video】
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Crown Princess, my apologies. I will make amends to you after I return from the other Plane.
Qingcai Keke: Anyone who uses administrator privileges to recall it is a dog.
"..."
The group owner's expression suddenly stiffened.
He then lowered his head to look at the Mobile Phone screen—
He wished so much that everyone would jump out right now and accuse him, "Didn't you say you didn't have any?", or say something like "Well done" to Wu Eiwei, but at this moment, the group was deathly silent, and not a single message popped up.
Even that Nameless Person didn't make a sound.
End of Chapter
