Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna asked: “What kind of bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor said: “Ask for one of his patented technology research ——any of them is fine, if you can get one, I’ll take it as my loss and the Serum is yours”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what if I don’t get one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’m sorry. But we can talk about it again the next time the two of you come to Fuxi as guests” the Emperor shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you promise?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promise”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna then turned on her Holo-Brain and connect to Gu Qing Shan, saying that she wanted one of his Mech technology research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, a data packet arrived from space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only took a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the Emperor’s smile clearly deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna didn’t hesitate and forwarded the packet to the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing over at it, the Emperor said: “Men, come verify this”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person came and took the Holo-Brain away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, let us go horse riding for a bit” the Emperor invited her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, it’s been so long since I last rode a horse” Anna spoke very cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor picked a tall and majestic black stallion, while Anna picked a crimson red female horse. They rode around the stable while chatting about this and that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they came back, his subordinates were very keenly waiting for the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientists were staring at the Holo-Brain, unable to contain their excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it?” the Emperor got off the horse and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading scientist answered excitedly: “Your Majesty, this piece of technological research is completely genuine, not to mention it even managed to solve a particularly difficult bottleneck that we’ve been facing”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A bottleneck?” the Emperor instinctively repeated that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, this problem has managed to stop the two of us for over many years, numerous specialist research theorem has been suggested, but none actually manage to break through”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist said without holding anything back: “Thanks to this technology, our Empire’s Mech power supply problem has been completely solved”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good, you’re dismissed” the Emperor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it? Seems like I’ve won” Anna pridefully spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, your boyfriend doesn’t only care a lot about you, he’s also an exceptional talent” the Emperor commented\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was able to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a top-level genius Mech researcher, he was definitely born in the wrong country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor gently replied: “When you go back, tell Gu Qing Shan that I’ll move to my summer palace in about a week, since it’s a long way from the Confederate, you two had better go a bit sooner”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine, no problem,” Anna said, “then what about our bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor laughed and answered: “You think I’d go back on my words?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, two subordinates came with a sealed cold box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna couldn’t help but silently gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy to create such a Serum, not to mention with the quick expiry date, they normally aren’t made unless specifically required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With how much she knows about the Fuxi Empire’s current situation, she’s very sure that the Empire doesn’t have any of them in stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which means this vial was created in the short time that she and the Emperor went out horseback riding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fuxi Empire is ruled tightly under the Emperor’s iron fist, as long as he wants something done, the entire country will move to do it, fast and efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a very scary empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna didn’t dare to think further, only stared at the cold box in the servants’ hands and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take it, take it. Just see the look on your face, you’ll really make the Royal family lose face one of these days” the Emperor smiled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna quickly came up and took the sealed cold box, smiled and said: “Thank you very much, your Majesty”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor reminded: “Use it quickly after you return, this thing only lasts for a day at most”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you now” Anna turned on her Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm —–ah? Do you mean?” Anna looked up in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor clasped both hands behind his back and coldly replied: “Go and tell him, this is my gift to him”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna sighed, showing a complicated expression on her face and said: “What a big investment you’re making”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s only 1.5 billion, if that’s able to make Gu Qing Shan see me as an Emperor he can trust his life to, that much money is nothing”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Anna, the Emperor didn’t bother to hide his intention and spoke: “Being at the Confederate will only dull his talent, only at Fuxi will he be able to truly shine like he deserves”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell that to him, word for word”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I will thank you on his behalf”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, you can return now, I’ll be waiting for you to come as guests”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna took the sealed cold box, did a curtsy as etiquette then turned around to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Elementalist Awakening Serum has an expiry date, she must quickly return to the Confederate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s what he said”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna told him the Emperor’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1.5 billion! Just like that, he gave 1.5 billion away!” Ye Fei Li was so stunned he was screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he looked nothing like the Murder Clown, or the strongest Man Killer Fiend on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even I would feel a bit moved by that” Liao Xing stared at the sealed cold box, eyes boiling with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged looks, seeing the emotions in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the Fuxi Empire is able to surpass the Confederate these last few years” Zhang Ying Hao commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, he’s a very decisive ruler” Gu Qing Shan also commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the sealed cold box from Anna’s hand and said: “Impartial Goddess”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m here, sir]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin producing the Martial Potential Enhancing Serum and the God’s Chosen Awakening Serum”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Currently in the production progress, it will be done in 1 hour]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve troubled you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan checked his body again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still heavily wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Dantian has already gotten better, a little bit of spirit energy has already started to gather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to stand up, finding himself able to walk just a bit, but his entire body will scream in pain if he walks just a bit too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Has the Game of Eternal begun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It haven’t, it’s still staying silent for now” Ye Fei Li answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good then” Gu Qing Shan sighed from relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with how you are right now, even if it does appear, you’re not going to be able to do anything” Ye Fei Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan can only wryly laugh to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, Liao Xing yawned, followed by Zhang Ying Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s with you two? Aren’t you a bit too tired?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been watching over you for 2 days, what do you think?” Liao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the Game of Eternal hasn’t started yet, we might as well return and rest up for a bit” Gu Qing Shan decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll have the chefs prepare some good” Zhang Ying Hao turned on his Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want a feast!” Ye Fei Li licked his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small-sized Interstellar Warship brought them back to the mountaintop mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was pretty much unable to take care of himself, so Anna stuck close to him to feed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Gu Qing Shan’s Holo-Brain lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sir, the Serums has been successfully produced without any problem, do you need it now?] Impartial Goddess asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, bring them here” Gu Qing Shan excitedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he’s able to evolve his lightning thaumaturgy, any injury is worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Anna came out to get the Serums and brought Gu Qing Shan back to his room to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I feel like Anna isn’t quite herself today?” Ye Fei Li asked with a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stupid” Liao Xing didn’t even bother to look up and answered while eating, “when a woman is madly in love, of course she’ll become another person”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you guys talking about?” Anna carefully closed the door and returned to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she’s been taking care of Gu Qing Shan, she’s only started to eat after Gu Qing Shan is done with his meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s nothing” Ye Fei Li and Liao Xing quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the bed, in front of Gu Qing Shan were two sealed cold boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them has been opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the box Anna brought back from Fuxi, a vial containing a yellow fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other box came from Impartial Goddess, inside were two glass vials, one contained a red fluid, while the other contained a glittering white fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan opened the War God UI to see two wheels still rotating very slowly in the middle of the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larger circle was grey, while the smaller one had three empty slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larger circle is the circle for rolling his thaumaturgy at Golden Core realm, while the smaller was to evolve his lightning thaumaturgy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can only activate a new thaumaturgy mission after he finishes the lighting evolution mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s finally time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan placed each of the vials of Serum into the slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them instantly closed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire wheel started to spin, letting out a blinding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War God UI started to show glowing lines of text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Detected user to have made it to Foundation Establishment peak]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Detected all three necessary evolution Serums]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Energy necessary for thaumaturgy evolution is full]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your lightning thaumaturgy is about to evolve]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after Gu Qing Shan read through them, the lines of text disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the circle split into three balls of light, drawing a “品” in front of Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ting]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System let out a chime notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The user has selected Smiting]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The user has selected Lightning of Life]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please select one out of three choices to complete the evolution for Smiting]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan glanced at the first ball of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his gaze, a few lines of text started to appear next to the ball of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Potential Enhancement: In short period of time, exponentially increasing your movement speed and attack speed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: The power of Lightning will trigger your cells to provide you extraordinary speed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A really great evolved ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ability description, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a feeling of reaping his harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at the second ball of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Electrified Phantom: You can freely create mirages in battle to fool your opponent’s eyes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: Using lightning, sound, thunder, shadow and light to create a mirage, a very convincing illusion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan glanced over this ball of light and looked at the third and final one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stiff: When a living being is struck by your Lightning, they will lose control of their body.
