Chapter 241: Chapter 233: Trump Card

"Silly girl."

Thinking of the past, Shitou couldn’t help but rub the top of her head a little harder. To be fair, his silly girl wasn’t completely foolish—usually, she was quite savvy when it came to dealing with other matters. But, sigh—

Sometimes he had to admit, her ideas were just too innocent and naive, often depicting humanity as too benevolent. It was a contradiction, but such a side of her irresistibly attracted him more and more.

"I knew you wouldn’t misunderstand me."

Lu Yun hugged Shitou with a giggle. She had completely ignored being called "silly girl" by Shitou again. Forget it, she thought, just treat it as his "nickname" for her. She had protested many times to no avail; for some reason, Shitou was exceptionally stubborn about this nickname.

"I was just thinking that it won’t be easy for me to travel abroad in the future, so why not simply collaborate with the country? We could share the mining veins and then, when the time comes, I could use the Space Stone to bring stuff back without anyone noticing. Isn’t it a happy thought?"

"So because of this, you want to expose the Space Stone?" Shitou was almost at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"What else can I do? If we do it my way, we can’t reveal my space without revealing the Space Stone, can we?

Besides, I don’t feel guilty about mining from them at all. How is it that they were allowed to plunder us back then, but we can’t repay them in kind?

I even thought that once our Psychic Power Cultivation reaches a higher level, we could form a team and visit several places to use spiritual power to discover unexplored mining veins, like gold, silver, all kinds of gemstones, diamonds, as well as oil fields, tin, iron, coal, and so on...

Just imagine, we could use the Space or the Space Stone to perform a Great Shift of the Universe and bring things back without anyone noticing—how wonderful is that stealthy wealth? But to be honest, even if we were to swallow all those mining veins ourselves, we don’t have that big of an appetite, so such things still need to be done in collaboration."

Lu Yun looked at Shitou righteously, "I’m not just after the mining veins; it doesn’t matter if our family takes less from them. I just can’t stand it. If the law of the jungle is acceptable, why was it justified for them to bully the weak and not for us to do the same now?"

"When did I ever say it wasn’t okay?"

Shitou couldn’t help narrowing his eyes, his heart tempted by Lu Yun’s idea. Actually, it might be more accurate to say that he was somewhat inspired by her speech.

He thought of other aspects, and if they could use spiritual power and the Space Stone openly, beyond detecting mining veins, there were many other areas where they could apply it...

Perhaps exposing the Space Stone wasn’t such a bad thing after all—"the more debts, the less the worry," right?

"Don’t worry, other secrets can be exposed to some extent, but I will never mention anything about my space and the secrets of my past life to anyone else again. In this life, I still want to live a long and lasting life with you," Lu Yun promised Shitou very seriously.

She wasn’t truly "silly" enough to freely give things away; she had only told her parents and Shitou because of her experience in her past life, knowing that they could be completely trusted.

She would never do the same with others. In her past life, she had never dared to share the secrets of her space and the Elixirs as openly as she did now. It was a shame that, in the end, even the highly diluted Elixir had led to a "bloodbath"...

"As long as you know," Shitou heaved a sigh and patted her little head, "This is a serious matter; let’s discuss the specifics with Grandpa tonight."

"Mm, it’s not like we don’t have any cards up our sleeves. For example, even if we reveal the Elixir, we don’t have to offer the best ones; the effects can be slightly reduced compared to what we use;

Not only the effectiveness of the Elixirs but the Psychic Power Cultivation Techniques can also be simplified. The efficiency of the cultivation after simplification will definitely be lower than the original version.

I mean, we can only reveal the simplified version of the Cultivation Techniques before the tenth grade. These pre-tenth-grade Cultivation Methods will inevitably start with promotion in the military, and one day they will surely spread to the civilians.

It’s even possible that one day the state will start selecting talented children with Psychic Power Talent directly from the civilian population for training.

Anyone who can attain the tenth grade with the simplified version of the Psychic Power Cultivation Technique is definitely talented. By then, no matter who they are, if they want to continue cultivating, they will still have to come to us or we can reach out to them. By that time, why worry that we won’t have enough power to protect ourselves?

Even for the Space Stone, we don’t need to take out too much; more is not necessarily better—just one or two pieces would do, mainly to provide to researchers for study purposes."

The more Lu Yun spoke, the more feasible she thought it was. She looked up at Shitou, her face shining with a bright smile, pure and flawless like fine jade, dazzlingly beautiful, which left Shitou utterly spellbound.

"In my last life, what I loved most about those science fiction novels was space. If the human lifespan can truly be extended by hundreds of years, the one or two Space Stones we bring out will be perfect for the scientists to start researching now. Who knows, maybe in the future our world will also have equipment like Space Buttons."

"Maybe you’re right," Shitou stared at Lu Yun in a daze and couldn’t resist kissing her deeply, her lips full of passion as Lu Yun’s face flushed with embarrassment...

After a while, when they finally parted, Shitou, looking at Lu Yun’s shy appearance and thinking of her "little plans," chuckled lightly. He secretly vowed in his heart to one day fulfill her wish.

The desire to become stronger once again took precedence. Personal strength was not enough; he needed the whole family to grow stronger together—to protect the ones he loved and fulfill all her dreams; to be so strong that they would never have to worry about whether to reveal their valuable possessions again with so much anxiety and fear.

That afternoon, Shitou and Lu Yun spent the entire time together reworking their "story" to make sure it was watertight. Then they quickly came up with the simplified version of the Psychic Power Cultivation Technique.

The first ones they turned to were Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, revising and "confirming" the improved "story" with them to ensure that no discrepancies would be present when the time came.
