"Got the data sorted out during the annual leave?"
Seeing Li Wenkang handing over a USB drive, Ansheng showed a look of surprise on his face and accepted the USB drive.
"I suppose so, otherwise they wouldn’t have assigned a Golden Leopard and two professors to escort it the entire way."
Li Wenkang nodded slightly, looking with interest at the USB drive in Master Fuli’s hand.
Since the annual leave couldn’t leave the [Dragon Nest], the release of the USB drive involved inviting the King of the Universe to encrypt the storage card with First Epoch technology.
Looking across the entire Blue Star, all true First Epoch creatures are on the Xia Country side, and unless ordered by Master Fuli, they don’t bother with others, unless food and lodging are included.
The content recorded on the USB drive was simply prepared to be shown solely to Master Fuli.
Talking about the First Epoch, Master Fuli is the insurmountable mountain on this path.
"You want to see it too?"
Ansheng glanced at Li Wenkang, looking at him, not knowing from where he conjured an ice-cold cola.
"Knowledge is a priceless treasure, great gratitude is beyond words!" Li Wenkang said with a strange expression, joking with Master Fuli.
"Old Lin called you a stingy person, and he wasn’t wrong," Ansheng retorted to Li Wenkang, full of black lines on his face:
"After you’ve seen it, in the future, all my foot massage and entertainment expenses will have to be on your tab."
"Anything below eighty-eight thousand is fine." Li Wenkang nodded cheerfully, quickly picking up Master Fuli and running toward the third-floor non-public exhibition hall of the Fox Immortal Palace.
In the non-public exhibition hall, Li Wenkang forcefully found a hidden elevator in the wall of a reception room.
Ansheng watched, eyes wide, with a head full of question marks.
After transferring to the elevator, they directly reached underground, arriving at a bio-research facility hidden below.
"Is this your home or mine!" Ansheng said suspiciously, looking at Li Wenkang:
"I didn’t even know there was an elevator hidden here."
"Actually, I didn’t know at first either, but a few days ago, I saw Eye King crawling over here, so out of curiosity, I followed it and found some hidden exits and entrances."
Li Wenkang shrugged, not at all guilty of trespassing, rather looking full of conviction.
The research facility hidden underground at the Fox Immortal Palace didn’t have any special research projects, mainly for the convenience of Grandmaster Lin to store materials moved back from overseas, and for the secret mass production of Spirit Particle Potions.
The Spirit Particle Potions Lin Ying used to use were produced in the underground lab of the Fox Immortal Palace.
"No wonder, Lin Ying always said, living in such a big house doesn’t feel safe; turns out there’s an immoral ancestor in the family born under the sign of a field mouse...."
Ansheng exclaimed in wonder, making a tongue-clicking sound.
Ansheng knew about the research facility under the Fox Immortal Palace during its construction.
Just didn’t expect there would be so many hidden escape routes as well, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.
"This place should be safe now."
Li Wenkang pushed open a door, inside there was nothing too special, just an ordinary canteen, shining bright because it hadn’t been used yet.
But, at the food serving area, there were some jars containing Spirit Plants and some women’s clothing.
"I told you, why does the gluttonous snake disappear so often and then suddenly pop its head out again."
"Turns out it built a nest in the lab, able to escape through various exits and wander around the Fox Immortal Palace."
Ansheng said, both crying and laughing, finally understanding why the canteen was so shiny.
The King Cobra built nests often protruding above ground like a raised dead tree nest, with a very large volume, noticeable to those with forest activity experience.
King Cobra has a "kind" temperament but gives a warning before beating small animals and its kind.
But that absolutely doesn’t include if you poke its nest. Once you touch its nest, it’s a massive chase over a thousand miles.
A gluttonous snake building a nest here means no one dares to hang around nearby, afraid of being killed.
King Cobra can be very fierce when protecting its nest.
"Let me see what’s on the USB drive that makes the annual leave hem and haw..."
Ansheng sat at the long table, lifted his hand, and activated the [Genetic Editing Workstation] in his palm.
Tiny columns rose up because of the limited palm size, the columns almost lifting the USB drive upward.
At the instant the workstation was activated, cells invisible to the naked eye climbed out from the storage card, resembling an octopus form, yet with six eyes scanning the surroundings.
The octopus looked at Master Fuli, its eight lower legs rooting in his palm.
[King of the Universe is initiating file sharing with you.]
[Scanning in progress.....]
[Scan complete, suspected high-risk genes, requesting principal authorization for full-scale extermination.....]
"No, ignore the risks and install directly." Ansheng glanced at the [Life Blueprint System] prompt, casually ignoring the system alert, downloading the data to the workstation.
The King of the Universe inherently existed with mental illness; the genetic plugins it creates are naturally high-risk software.
However, Ansheng wasn’t too concerned, it wasn’t as if he would load them onto his Physique.
Loaded onto the workstation, there inherently existed a layer of risk isolation, capable of clearing out high-risk plugins at any time.
"Li Wenkang should be beside you, right? With his nature of feeling ripped off if he doesn’t pick up money, he’d surely lick his face to ask you..." As the high-risk plugin finished loading, a projection appeared on the workstation in the palm.
But it clearly lacked intelligence, just following initial settings to speak out certain things.
"The annual leave predicted your actions." Ansheng gleefully looked at Li Wenkang and said.
"That’s better, at least it didn’t call me stingy." Li Wenkang nonchalantly waved his hand.
"Next, I’ll apply an illusion, you and Li Wenkang can come in together, everything that needs to be said is inside."
"If it’s not inside, it means it doesn’t affect the current situation."
The projection, after ridiculing Li Wenkang, waited a minute, then started to invoke the pre-set Power of Will illusion.
An invisible force surged, laying down a scene akin to panoramic VR around the space.
In the illusion, there weren’t any frills, just an extraordinarily ordinary grassland scene.
The figure of the annual leave appeared inside the illusion, and about ten meters in front of it, there appeared another male figure without any distinct facial features, but it was clearly dressed like a Dragon Person.
"Based on Sun Xingyao’s data, I deduced the power models of the Immortals."
"However, I wasn’t familiar with the Witch King, so I chose another who inherited the name of the tribe king for the deduction."
"The abilities of the two are indistinguishable." The annual leave looked over at Master Fuli and said:
"But..."
"Do you know why, at the end of the First Epoch, Blue Star was tormented by flesh-and-blood creatures to the verge of collapse, forcing them to flee Blue Star prematurely."
"Yet in the [Surface Level], the Dragon Society, which wielded even greater power, could always function stably, without triggering any planetary upheaval or Blue Star catastrophes?"
The annual leave looked at Master Fuli, smiled, and said:
"Because... in the eyes of other races, the ’gods’ are seen among their own kind as ordinary; saying this you might laugh."
"I’ve worked for nearly thirty years to buy a house, and even the repairs were funded through a bank loan."
"It’s not that I can’t warp material, but I can’t modify the Dragon People’s creative particles, without those means, naturally I am just a commoner."
"I alone cannot carry hundreds of tons of construction materials upstairs."
"What cannot be determined cannot be conquered."
