This ability...

terrible!

terrible!

After witnessing Lan Ying's extraordinary abilities, Lin Mo couldn't help but begin to doubt himself.

If technology has advanced to the point where even legendary abilities like teleportation can be easily achieved, is there still a need for humans to practice martial arts?

It's important to understand that even among the very few martial arts practitioners at the very top, only the ability to dodge bullets is still quite advanced.

The two are not even on the same level.

But Lin Mo quickly dismissed the idea.

According to what Lan Ying said, Earth will enter the spiritual energy era in the future, and the strength of individual humans will undergo earth-shattering changes compared to now.

There is no limit to the path to becoming stronger.

However, there is an upper limit to the path of technological development!

Given Earth's resources and conditions, it is simply impossible to support an advanced civilization. In other words, the future spiritual era will still focus on enhancing military strength.

With the ability to teleport already appearing, it seems not impossible that in the future... flying through the air, moving mountains and overturning seas.

"My mother-in-law is so heartless. After all these years, Youyu missed her so much, and she just left without even giving her a chance to react."

While Lin Mo was still lost in thought, An Youyu had already silently started her rant, "Heartless, so heartless! Every time I went to sweep her grave, I cried so hard, and she wouldn't even come out to see me..."

After Lin Mo came to his senses, he couldn't help but rub her head and comfort her gently, "Okay, stop complaining. Didn't your mother-in-law just say that she has her reasons for not coming out to see you?"

"Are you still speaking for her?"

An Youyu put her hands on her hips and began to interrogate Lin Mo, "I haven't even caused you any trouble yet. Since you knew that Grandma was still alive, and even knew where she lived, why didn't you tell me?"

"I was wronged."

Lin Mo looked completely innocent. "Little Fish, I've brought up the topic of Grandma possibly not being dead to you more than once before, but you always reacted very strongly, as if you were going to get angry with me. I didn't dare to continue the conversation."

"Nonsense, that's not true."

"some."

"I don't care, it's all your fault, apologize to me."

An Youyu's sweet and soft voice makes even her willfulness adorable.

Lin Mo cupped her face in his hands, "My little darling, I'm sorry... okay?"

The moment those last three words were uttered, An Youyu, who was about to forgive Lin Mo, instantly flew into a rage. "What do you mean, 'Fine, fine'? If you're going to apologize, at least be polite. Don't you know that the phrase 'Fine, fine' is designed to provoke conflict?"

Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, looking righteous and indignant, and said, "Go ahead and hit me. As long as you're comfortable, even if you beat me to death, I won't utter a sound."

"I……"

An Youyu clenched her fist and raised it high, but couldn't bring it down. "Who cares to hit you? Humph, let's go!"

More than ten minutes later, the two left the ruins and took a lift back to the ground.

As soon as they stepped off the elevator, Lin Shu, Li Zhao, and Ye Liu came towards them, followed by some members of the archaeological team.

A large group of people surrounded the two of them. Lin Shu looked worried. "Were you two very scared down there? A strong wind suddenly blew up in this area just now. To prevent sand from entering the ruins, I had to have the elevator shut down."

Lin Mo chuckled and said, "Mom, Xiaoyuer and I had a lot of fun exploring the ruins. Actually, we didn't know the elevator was closed. We just walked around the ruins and then came up."

“If you hadn’t told us, we wouldn’t have known the lift had been turned off.”

"Besides, why would we be afraid?"

An Youyu opened her mouth, her expression revealing a hint of wanting to say something but holding back.

She knew she wasn't good at lying, so she simply kept quiet and nodded slightly in agreement with Lin Mo.

What happened today was truly outrageous and absurd.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears...

Even if I said it, no one would believe me!

Chapter 832 If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

"That's good."

Hearing her son's explanation, Lin Shu didn't think much of it. She took An Youyu's hand and asked softly, "Yu'er, were you disappointed after entering the ruins? Apart from some metal pillars left over from the pre-Xia calendar era, there wasn't much else inside."

"No."

An Youyu suppressed her many thoughts and replied with a smile, "Those metal pillars are also very interesting. It's a rare opportunity to see technological products from the last era up close."

"A technological product?"

Seeing Lin Shu's surprised expression, An Youyu blinked, puzzled. "Right, those metal pillars are products of technology. Didn't you know that, Auntie?"

Just then, Li Zhao spoke up, "No, right? Aren't those just simple metal pillars?"

Ye Liu chimed in, "We tested these metal pillars before, and there were no electronic components or anything inside; they're just pure metal. Although we haven't figured out what purpose these metal pillars were made by humans before the Xia calendar era, they shouldn't be related to any technological products, right?"

After hearing their explanations, An Youyu dared not say anything more and silently turned to look at Lin Mo.

The moment Lin Mo noticed the girl looking at him, he quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Mom, teachers, Xiaoyuer and I have different opinions on this matter. Those metal pillars really don't look like technological products."

After saying that, he changed the subject, "But as we all know, the technology in the pre-Xia calendar era was extremely advanced, so it was impossible for them to go to such lengths to produce so many pure metal pillars. I think there must be some unknown circumstances involved, and I secretly tried it out, and it seems that the inside of these metal pillars is hollow."

"So, after some discussion, Xiaoyuer and I finally decided that these metal pillars should be considered a technological product. As for what their function is, we can't confirm that."

"Hollow?"

After hearing Lin Mo's words, Lin Shu, Li Zhao, and Ye Liu exchanged glances, looking somewhat bewildered.

The underground pre-Xia calendar era site has been under excavation for nearly two months now.

During this period, the archaeological team conducted extensive research on these mysterious metal pillars, but no results were found.

In contrast, Lin Mo and An Youyu, having only been at the site for a little over an hour, came to a conclusion that the archaeological team had failed to reach.

Lin Shu coughed and turned to the archaeological team members around him, instructing, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Take advantage of these few days to rest well. Once the orders from above are given, we'll probably be working non-stop again."

Everyone nodded.

Soon, the members of the archaeological team who had been watching returned to their tents.

A few minutes later, in the tent where Lin Shu was staying.

As soon as they sat down, Lin Shu couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Mo, how did you and Yu'er discover that those metal pillars were hollow?"

"This one……"

Lin Mo glanced at An Youyu with a strange expression, then lied without changing his face, "I patted it a few times and identified it by the sound."

An Youyu lowered her head guiltily, not daring to interrupt at all.

"what?"

Before Lin Shu could say anything, Li Zhao's eyes widened in shock at Lin Mo's words. He said incredulously, "How many times did you pat it? Don't you know that you can't touch ancient artifacts directly with your hands? That's a rule of the archaeological team."

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged. "Nobody told me, why didn't you say so sooner? Wouldn't I have known if you had told me earlier?"

Li Zhao: "..."

Ye Liu glanced at An Youyu, who was hanging her head, and said, "You don't know? Doesn't An girl know either? Girl, why didn't you remind Lin Mo?"

Hearing Ye Liu call her name, An Youyu slowly raised her head, forcing a smile, "Teacher, this..."

She was interrupted by Lin Mo as soon as she opened her mouth, "Her attention was on the metal column at the time, not on me. She only realized it after I finished taking pictures."

Helpless, Ye Liu could only look at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu blinked. "Why are you looking at me? It's not like I asked him to take the picture. Besides, it's already been taken, so it's too late to say anything now."

Ye Liu: "..."

Is the way they're protecting their own more obvious?

Lin Shu crossed her legs and asked, "Xiao Mo, did you hit the slap hard?"

"Okay."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes and didn't delve into the topic. "It's not bad. By sheer chance, you discovered something that our archaeological team hadn't found. You've done a great job."

Li Zhao: "..."

Ye Liu: "..."

have to.

Not only did they not scold him, but they even praised him?

Noticing the change in their expressions, Lin Shu glared at them. "What kind of reaction is this? Did I say something wrong? Do you even know what it means to be results-oriented?"

Two people: "..."

Lin Mo chuckled and replied, "Meritorious service? Is there a reward?"

Lin Shu responded with a laugh, "Yes, I'll have the chef add a big chicken leg for you and Yu'er each at noon tonight."

Lin Mo curled his lip, "Chicken leg? Is that considered a reward?"

Lin Shu's brow twitched. "Don't want it? Don't even want this!"

"want!"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Why not take it if it's free? I'll take it!"

Lin Shu chuckled inwardly and continued, "Xiao Mo, besides discovering that the pillar is hollow, what else did you find?"

"cough…!"

Lin Mo cleared his throat. In fact, he had already prepared his explanation while riding the elevator back to the ground. "It's not that I didn't find anything, Mom. You know I have some knowledge of the technology field. After repeated confirmation, I believe that apart from a control chip, the metal pillars are made up of purely mechanical parts."

"Reducing reliance on electronic components can greatly extend the lifespan of equipment, which is the main reason why these metal pillars can still operate even after thousands of years."

Li Zhao suddenly spoke up, "How do you know these pillars are over a thousand years old?"

Faced with the sudden question, Lin Mo remained calm and glanced at An Youyu, who had been silent all along, "Isn't what Xiaoyuer said right?"
