Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1735: Madness

Though adorable like a puppy, Xiao Zhi’s dignity is quite real.

About an hour later, a small robot resembling a bee was brought over by Xiao Zhi, as if he were presenting a treasure.

”Brother Xiaobu, this is the finished product.” Xiao Zhi offered with both hands.

”Hmm.” Lu Xiaobu took the bee robot, holding it in his hand to examine it.

Standing on tiptoe, Xiao Zhi explained to Lu Xiaobu, ”The front bee mouth is where spiritual energy is delivered, the rear abdomen holds a small spiritual energy storage device, and the chest contains the latest chip capable of precisely controlling the flow of spiritual energy.”

”These are all military products. Once confirmed, we can proceed with mass production.”

”The only issue is that it’s a bit too large, easy to knock down.”

”The main reason is that the current spiritual energy storage device cannot undergo high-intensity compression. If we make it smaller, the quantity won’t suffice!”

At this point, Xiao Zhi seemed a bit disappointed, feeling he hadn’t achieved perfection!

Lu Xiaobu listened to Xiao Zhi and nodded; indeed, it’s not small, especially for cultivators, it’s not a size to be ignored.

But it’s not a big problem, since counter-control is an additional function. As long as a part of it works, the rest can be replaced by persuasion.

”It’s okay, great work!” Lu Xiaobu comforted Xiao Zhi. ”If you manage to solve the spiritual energy compression issue, wouldn’t it mean you could mass-produce Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages?”

”That’s true.” Xiao Zhi finally smiled bashfully again.

But soon, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration, exclaiming, ”Brother Xiaobu, are you saying that Foundation Establishment is essentially a process of compressing spiritual energy?”

”Yes.” Lu Xiaobu nodded, unsure what Xiao Zhi had realized. ”Not only Foundation Establishment, even the Golden Core stage is merely a more compressed process.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi immediately activated his superpower.

Having just activated it earlier, doing so again made his face pale instantly.

However, he didn’t turn it off and continued pacing in place.

Speaking continuously, ”Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage are all processes of spiritual energy compression, and I’ve heard that when people from the small world come to the big world, as long as they aren’t overwhelmed, they can quickly become Golden Core stage!”

”If so, then there must be something different between the small world and the big world. What is this difference?”

”If we grasp these differences, could we directly mass-produce humanoid Golden Core robots?”

”Even if these robots can’t use spiritual energy, simply using them as bombs would undoubtedly be extremely destructive!”

”Moreover, could we create auxiliary items to compensate for those who wouldn’t survive, allowing them to safely reach Golden Core stage?”

”And...”

Xiao Zhi continued muttering, and the surrounding researchers started gathering, continuously recording everything Xiao Zhi was saying, then passing the information down.

Soon, after further discussion, several new topics emerged once again.

Lu Xiaobu looked on at the scene in bewilderment.

My goodness, this is truly a case of quantity leading to quality change!

Xiao Zhi’s super memory syndrome enabled him to remember many trivial things, which were once burdensome to him, considered symptoms.

But now, having awakened this superpower, these previously burdensome things often gave Xiao Zhi all sorts of inspiration indirectly.

These insights aren’t always correct, but they are absolutely irreplaceable.

Research always needs direction, even if it’s the wrong one. Without direction, wandering aimlessly like a headless fly would result in lots of effort for little gain.

Furthermore, some hypotheses raised by Xiao Zhi had significant chances of realization!

Remarkable! Truly remarkable!

Watching the busy crowd, Lu Xiaobu chose not to disturb them, instead exiting the research facility quietly.

”How is it?” Elder Yu asked.

”Very good, go ahead with mass production, for now, produce three thousand units and adjust depending on circumstances!” Lu Xiaobu said.

We won’t need this many yet, but the potential of these things is unimaginable.

With this leverage, the Yiji Mansion is no longer a frightening, death-defying force.

Instead, they become the bomb, ready to blow themselves up at any moment!

”Alright!” Elder Yu immediately nodded, ”I’ll arrange it right away!”

He then spoke a couple of words to his accompanying staff.

After which, he looked back at Lu Xiaobu, a glint flashing in his eyes. ”Well, Xiaobu, we have an idea, what do you think?”

”What idea?” Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.

An idea significant enough to discuss directly with him certainly wasn’t ordinary.

”Little Ya proposed a crazy plan!” Elder Yu’s voice was somewhat dry, ”She wants to transform the entire Blood Continent, using the core as energy to construct a massive combat spaceship!”

Elder Yu’s voice grew drier as he continued, yet he couldn’t conceal a hint of enthusiasm.

He knew Little Ya’s idea was insane, had they still been on Water Blue Star, he’d surely call it a pipe dream!

But this was the Cultivation World!

And given that the Blood Continent was originally an island of the big world, having moved here, why couldn’t it be transformed?

Therefore, he too was somewhat swept up in the madness.

However, he retained some sanity, choosing to consult Lu Xiaobu.

”Uh...”

Lu Xiaobu was stunned!

Stunned once more!

Oh my goodness, this idea is crazy enough!

Xiao Zhi morphed into a mad scientist, and now Xiaoya became a transformation fanatic?!

Directly transforming a continent?!

Impressive!

”I can’t quite say.” Lu Xiaobu shook his head.

Just as he uttered this, Bai Qi and six others emerged from the corridor, faces filled with a mix of complex emotions.

There was joy from seeing their homeland after thousands of years, but also the loneliness where things remained yet people changed, as well as a sense of unfamiliarity that felt out of place.

Despite spanning thousands of years, many concepts they shared were generally common.

However, this time upon venturing out, everything had changed.

Steel jungles, steel cities, countless people appeared like ants, streams of people moving rapidly, various vehicles darting around, and even people flying without cultivation, on what they called airplanes, the steel birds of the sky.

And that wasn’t all, someone even told them not only could you fly, but reach outer space, another planet—this was simply...

They even began to wonder—could blocking the passage back then have been a good thing?

After all, looking through the history briefly, it seemed the world began to experience drastic changes right after sealing the passage!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t know what they thought, but he pointed at Bai Qi, ”Elder Yu, go ask him!”

Subsequently, he started to observe the changing expressions on Bai Qi’s face!
