Chapter 151: Chapter 97 Human Sentiments and Worldly Affairs_2

Wang Jixuan was now more inclined toward the "Summoning Thunder" concept because "sacrificing" the Blade Beast Soul basically required his direct involvement.

He just wanted to provide the human army with "Basic Magic Tools," not bind himself to this workstation.

Cultivation was his main pursuit.

Uncle Tai had already found several reliable engineers to design an experimental device that simulates lightning strikes.

They definitely couldn’t match the energy of natural lightning strikes, and simple artifacts like the Demon-breaking Dagger couldn’t withstand the bombardment of natural lightning.

The subsequent experiments would proceed at a rapid pace.

In places unseen by Daoist Wang, the overt and covert battles between the Thirteenth Institute and the D5 military district had reached a point of near eruption.

Political persecution, Professor Zhuang was targeted; military threats, Professor Zhuang was sentenced; Spiritual Ability pressure, Professor Zhuang was betrayed; the Commander-in-Chief was furious, Professor Zhuang lay unconscious in prison...

All these dramas were being staged in turn.

In the place directly visible to Daoist Wang, it was extremely peaceful.

Lingtong was waiting for the repair of her mechanical arm.

Ms. Wan secretly told Wang Jixuan that they had received orders from the Commander-in-Chief to carry out an advanced upgrade on Lingtong’s mechanical arm, instead of performing an in-depth transformation of her body.

Because after testing, it was found that Lingtong’s fully enhanced human body had once again shown significant improvements in all metrics.

It wasn’t just a one or two percent improvement, but around ten percent.

Delving into the reasons, Ms. Wan determined that it had to do with Wang Jixuan’s massage.

Ms. Wan secretly asked Daoist Wang to continue massaging Lingtong, as Lingtong might truly become the successor to the Commander-in-Chief, piloting the new generation of Horror Mecha and bringing hope to humanity for counterattacking the Blade Beasts.

Of course, Daoist Wang readily agreed.

In the future, he could even teach Lingtong some simple Magic Methods to cultivate her spirit and make up for her final shortcoming—being susceptible to spiritual impact.

As for Lingtong’s subsequent bodily enhancement, that wasn’t a worry either; the higher his cultivation, the more he could naturally improve her.

These matters were his "secret plotting" with Ms. Wan; Lingtong had a bit of pride, so they decided not to inform her for the time being.

Ms. Wan, having been through similar experiences, understood Lingtong’s character very well; during this time, Ms. Wan had been sending a photo of Lingtong to Daoist Wang every day via Uncle Tai’s communicator.

Every night at ten o’clock, Wang Jixuan would send a greeting message to Lingtong, simply reporting that all was well.

Every morning at six, Lingtong would send a message that said [Wake up for training].

Since both of them were busy with their own tasks, the instances of casual chatting were actually quite rare.

Zhou Zhengde, on the other hand, had a peaceful time, also starting to study, read, and entertain himself in military prison, his total sentence undetermined, waiting for the outside struggles to subside before being directly released.

As long as Xiao Zhou was on "vacation" in the military prison, he could provide a protective umbrella for Fortress 76, ensuring it remained devoid of Spiritual Ability Users for a while.

If Daoist Wang were to comment on this, he could only say:

Well done!

If Daoist Wang were to assign a prison term for Zhou Zhengde, it should be...

A few more months.

After all, Zhou Zhengde was also enjoying his time inside, and Zhou Meiyin truly began arranging for her son to have blind dates inside the military prison!

Wang Jixuan could almost envision the scene:

[In the dim visiting room of the prison, the refined Mr. Zhou, dressed in immaculate prison garb, sat opposite a lady in a mermaid dress, both lighting two white candles, savoring the taste of fermented alcohol, sizing up each other’s pectorals, secretly wiping away drool, while prison guards prepared a bed in the next room.]

’Tsk, even I am beginning to learn bad habits.’

Daoist Wang shook his head and continued to cultivate in peace.

On their tenth day after moving in, Dongfang Zhenghong found Wang Jixuan again.

This time it was past eleven at night when Dongfang Zhenghong, accompanied by several guards, came directly to Wang Jixuan’s dormitory.

Clearly, the Commander had some important matters to discuss with him.

...

"Wang Zheng, take a look at this."

Dongfang Zhenghong, holding a piece of paper, handed it to Wang Jixuan.

It was a handwritten list of data.

It detailed the number of various Blade Beasts killed and Crystal Cores seized during the battle against the Young King Worm and the defense of the Fortress.

Wang Jixuan was puzzled: "What’s the matter?"

"Ahem," whispered Dongfang Zhenghong, "this data is currently only in our possession, because there are no Spiritual Ability Users left in the Fortress for now, meaning no one to oversee... You understand what I’m saying."

Wang Jixuan’s eyes gleamed: "How much can we keep?"

"This half, from the battle against the Young King Worm, the data is nearly transparent."

Dongfang Zhenghong explained:

"Satellite detection data, as well as our data sharing with the command headquarters of the two-level war zone, it’s best not to touch these, otherwise it would give the Thirteenth Institute a handle for trouble.

"The current laws are a balance point after the power struggle between various factions; it’s best not to disrupt it for now.

"But this part below can be manipulated... many young Blade Beasts don’t have a Crystal Core inside."

"My thought is to mark some of the Crystal Cores from adult Blade Beasts as those from young Blade Beasts, reducing the Crystal Core output rate of young Blade Beasts from the current 67% to 47%... What do you think?"

Wang Jixuan leaned back: "Can’t we lower it to 27%?"

"That would be too outrageous; they’d spot it in a glance."

"How many Crystal Cores can we get in total?"

"We can get about five thousand..."

Dongfang Zhenghong chuckled:

"The Crystal Cores from the young ones are smaller and have lower Spiritual Ability reactions. We can even secretly swap them. As long as we don’t get caught by the Thirteenth Institute, it can be done."
