After the vicious cannon fodder pampered the imperial marshal, he became popular

Chapter 175 Unsolvable
Wen Shishu didn't pay much attention to the comments on the StarNet; he glanced at them and then closed the app.

She slowly raised her eyes, glanced at the small box she had recently taken out and placed beside her, and pursed her lips.

Then she opened the intranet of the Empire's central system. She now had full access and began searching for what she wanted.

#Slave Collar#
At the time, I only glanced at it briefly in the backend due to time constraints, and didn't have time to look at it in detail. I only knew that this thing existed on the intranet.

Wen Shishu's gaze fell on the screen of the quantum computer, reading it word by word about how it was created, its uses, when it was banned by imperial law, and...
A glint of light flashed in Wen Shishu's eyes. He had found it!
How to remove it!

There's a lot of information about the collar, but very little about how to remove it; you don't see it until much later in the slide.

.

The door to the master bedroom was opened gently.

Wen Shishu poked her head in, looked at the person on the bed whose eyes were already closed, and called out in a very low voice, "Fu Ciyan, are you asleep?"

After a while, the person on the bed did not move, and Wen Shishu let out a breath.

She opened the door and tiptoed in, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the things in her hands—the contents of the small box from earlier.

Indeed, Wen Shishu opened it. The empire's intranet did have a method to open it, which required using mental power to draw a pattern according to the requirements.

It was extremely complex. She made many mistakes while drawing it, concentrating on each step for fear of making a mistake. Her mental focus was extremely high, and by the time she finished drawing, her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the pattern was completely drawn and began to glow.

Become!

The small box was opened, and inside lay a tiny crystal, unlike any of the crystals she had previously absorbed energy from.

Wen Shishu looked at the small crystal in her palm and blinked gently.

What came to mind was what Fu Ciyan had said before: he said there was no need to untie it.

The implication is that by not untying the knot, she would have an extra layer of protection and wouldn't have to worry about him doing anything bad to her.

However, Wen Shishu pursed her lips. She knew perfectly well that even if he untied her, he wouldn't harm her, would he?

Wen Shishu took a breath, her slender fingers slowly landing on Fu Ciyan's neck, gently parting his collar to reveal the choker around his neck.

Looking at the person before him with their eyes tightly closed, a black collar binding him, its panel reflecting glimmers of light. Even someone as powerful as Fu Ciyan couldn't escape this collar; it seemed as if she could do anything to him if she so desired.

Wen Shishu let out a soft breath, clearing the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

He slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the crystal in his hand, then placed it into the small groove on the gleaming panel.

Her eyes were fixed on the collar around Fu Ciyan's neck. Perhaps it was because she had been looking forward to this for so long and it was about to be removed, but she felt a little nervous.

However, as time passed, the collar around Fu Ciyan's neck showed no reaction whatsoever.

Wen Shishu was taken aback. What was going on?

That's exactly what the literature I just found says, so how could it not work?

Even the crystals automatically retracted.

Wen Shishu stared blankly at the crystal that had been returned to her hand, muttering to herself, "How could it be useless?"

There was clearly no problem; she simply followed the instructions she saw.

Wen Shishu refused to believe it and repeated the steps as before, but it still didn't work.

"I don't believe it." Wen Shishu gritted her teeth, preparing to do it again, when she saw the person on the bed cough lightly and frown.

woke up?!
Wen Shishu suddenly stopped moving and hurriedly put the things away, but the person on the bed just turned over and didn't make any other movements.

After a while, Wen Shishu breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that she had tried it many times over.

If it's useless, it's useless.

No, she had to go back and check the quantum computer to see what was wrong.

Thankfully, Fu Ciyan wasn't woken up, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing if he knew I couldn't untie it.

Wen Shishu tiptoed away again.

Unbeknownst to her, after she left, the person who had just been sleeping on the bed slowly opened their eyes, their gaze clear and bright, showing no trace of sleepiness.
