Chapter 3380 The Problematic Foundation (Please Subscribe)

After a minor incident, Gu Xi's entire mood was disrupted.

Gu Xi had originally planned to relax in Baiyujing and wait for the results of the transformation of this batch of Netherworld Flower seeds.

Gu Xi has absolutely no interest in it now.

"Honestly, you encounter all sorts of things everywhere you go, it really puts me in no mood at all."

Gu Xi muttered something to himself and stood up abruptly.

Li Yufang had already returned by then. Seeing Gu Xi in this state, she immediately went up to ask him what was wrong.

"Sir, we still have some time. Why don't we take care of some of the backlog of work first?"

"Li Yufang, are you the secretary or am I the secretary?"

Didn't you see how my last bit of good mood was ruined?

"It's precisely because your good mood has been ruined that I'm asking you to handle some work."

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, and all the businesses in the Underworld aren't open right now, I might as well use this time to do something."

"Fine, fine, I'm really scared of you."

How much work do I still have to do?

"There aren't many, just some routine reports. This is the table of contents."

As Li Yufang spoke, he took out something that looked like a dictionary and handed it to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi resigned himself to his fate and opened the document. He read it himself, while the head of the goddesses behind him quickly recorded and analyzed it.

Because he was the head of all the goddesses, Gu Xi could also communicate with Li Yufang while reviewing the reports.

"By the way, sir, Titanium Lion said that the game world for advancement has been locked, and the teleportation channel will be completed in about five or six days."

As Li Yufang took the signed documents from Gu Xi, he spoke some simple information.

Hearing this, Gu Xi raised his head and said, "I've been waiting for a long time. Tell him to speed things up. Also, have him search for the game world where he can advance to become the Emperor of the Ghost Kingdom."

After completing this advancement, my leveling speed will increase further.

"Okay, right, there's also..."

Gu Xi and Li Yufang worked together very well, and in the blink of an eye, they had finished a lot of work.

Most importantly, Gu Xi also added a lot of information.

"That's about it. You're quite fast, adults."

"That's enough! What do you mean by 'quickly'? Do you think I'll be quick?"

Gu Xi was speechless at Li Yufang's words.

Is this human talk?
I'm usually not fast, okay?

He usually plays until one or two in the morning before going home.

If you say that again, I will sue you for defamation.

Just then, Shaya arrived.

"My lord, I intend to establish two more intelligence organizations targeting the underworld. This is my plan..."

Gu Xi rolled her eyes. "Li Yufang, you approve it for her."

Also, make sure those spies don't show their faces in front of me.

There's absolutely no challenge.

Gu Xi knew exactly what Shaya had come for the moment he saw her.

Although he was somewhat displeased, Gu Xi still agreed to Shaya's idea.

After all, these were his contracted undead, so he could only help him check and fill in the gaps in this matter from behind the scenes.

"Thank you, sir."

Gu Xi waved his hand, intending to let Shaya leave. But just then, Shaya seemed to remember something.

"By the way, sir, I've just found out some information that you might be interested in."

Hearing this, Gu Xi gently pressed his forehead.

Again.

Gu Xi had a clear feeling that things were all coming together and erupting at once.

He didn't know how this situation could have happened to him.

It's always the same: either nothing happens at all, or everything piles up at once.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"It seems like something suddenly went wrong with Cornerstone."

Shaya said with a serious expression, "This is information I obtained by chance when I was temporarily reassigning personnel to form a new intelligence department."

As adults know, every new intelligence agency has a newbie protection period when it is first established.

You will always unintentionally receive some information that you don't know the purpose of.

The information we received this time was that Cornerstone had run into trouble.

I plan to follow this line of investigation, but I should first inform the adults.

"It should have been said first."

Gu Xi nodded in agreement.

Gu Xi is aware of the concept of a cornerstone.

After confronting White Destiny, Gu Xi specifically inquired why White Destiny would place something as insignificant as magic on the same level as death and life.

Is it because magic controls something different?

After making detailed inquiries, Gu Xi finally understood that the reason why magic was ranked in such a position was not because it was on the same level as life and death.

Rather, it's because magic belongs to the hard-working type.

He knew he was not up to par, only slightly better than those insignificant ancient gods.

Under normal circumstances, an ancient god like him would be the perfect cannon fodder in the face of a great calamity.

At best, they are just cannon fodder with a slightly more glamorous appearance, and their status is even lower than that of the three generals under Life and Death.

At least they have someone to bail them out.

Magic is working incredibly hard to save its life.

His efforts were focused on laying out something called a foundation.

This foundation is drawn from the very rules of magic and placed in every corner of the real world.

The most basic function of the Foundation Stone is to enhance all mages, whether they are newly hired magic users or ancient god-level mages, whether they are normal mages or non-mainstream magic users. As long as they are related to magic, they can receive the Foundation Stone's blessing.

Most importantly, magic power is not what everyone thinks of as magical power. Magic power includes all kinds of energy that can be used to create skills, such as true qi, internal energy, and magical power. The scope of this is quite large.

At the same time, magic power also refers to the power of skill attacks. Increasing magic power is equivalent to increasing the power of spells, so each of these foundation stones has a significant impact.

If there are only one or two foundation stones, people won't take the magic seriously; they'll just see it as something thankless and arduous.

But when the cornerstone permeates the entire real world and the depths of games, leaving its mark in every game, the situation changes.

Magic thus became a force on par with life and death.

If he continues to set things up like this, it won't be long before he not only fails to achieve his destiny of combining the three, but even his life and death will sometimes have to depend on the whims of magic.

At this moment, when the foundation had a problem, Gu Xi understood that it was because an ancient god disapproved of magic and wanted to suppress it.

Even if that doesn't work, at least we should prevent the magic from advancing any further.

These ancient gods are all bad people.
