From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Furthermore.

In terms of the number of practitioners, the combined number of all the samurai and ninjas in the island nation is definitely less than a fraction of the number of Qi practitioners in China.

But their original destiny was tragically disrupted, resulting in the deaths of an entire generation and the extinction of many sects...

Jiang Liu finally understood the reason.

Besides the fact that none of the major sects and families in China had a leader to guide them, and that they were scattered down the mountain or organized small teams in private to participate in the battle, resulting in sloppy tactics and being defeated one by one by the enemy, and that the power of firearms could indeed penetrate the defenses of supernatural beings, the other major reason was that the Japanese pirates in this world were also terrifyingly "strong".

In terms of individual strength, the Japanese pirates were naturally inferior to the Qi cultivators of the Central Plains, but they had the advantage of experimenting on human bodies to develop drugs, mass-producing them to enhance the physical fitness of individual soldiers, thus winning by sheer numbers, like a locust swarm passing through.

Even the strongest superhuman will be overwhelmed and killed once their Qi is exhausted.

[Conducting human experiments to create "super soldiers?"]

Red Girl said with a hint of teasing, "Moon Queen, you're the most qualified to speak on this matter."

I conduct experiments ethically and systematically, essentially for the future of all humanity; it cannot be generalized.

Bai Yuekui argued that, apart from the time when she was young and ignorant and illegally swapped her teacher's brain into the body of a murderer, all other times, including the ecological chimera experiment using cranioblasts, were based on her rigorous consideration.

As for whether conducting experiments on clones violates humanitarian principles...

Further research into the differences between Primordial Qi and Life Source Essence reveals that Primordial Qi is merely a form of energy, while Life Source Essence is Primordial Qi incorporating abstract information such as memories, emotions, will, and mind from a life experience.

Stepping outside the three-dimensional perspective and observing from a higher angle, one will find that the primordial Qi presents a blue and white color scheme, with blue as the main color, while the life essence presents a brilliant and dazzling golden radiance.

and so.

Even now, Bai Yuekui still believes that it is not wrong to use clones as experimental subjects. Without abstract information such as memory, emotion, will, and mind, they are just a group of slightly special "apes".

after all--

Scientific progress, especially in medical science, is fastest achieved by directly studying the human body.

If humans cannot be used, then cloning is the best option.

Honestly.

Bai Yuekui actually quite liked this era because there were many devilish individuals she could study, and she didn't have to bear too much psychological burden.

For example: Quanxing (全性).

Or perhaps: Japanese pirates who invaded this land.

Since the Japanese pirates want to study the human body, shouldn't they use their own bodies to contribute to all of humanity? That would be the right path, wouldn't it?

Upon hearing Bai Yuekui's words, Lu Jin and Miss Liu shuddered, realizing that it would be best to avoid provoking this "mad scientist" in the future.

But Miss Liu asked, "Is this the time to discuss these things? When are we going to rescue my master?"

Relax, the culinary competition hasn't even started yet, has it?

Watching the patrol of soldiers walk past them, Jiang Liu had already formulated a plan in his mind—to participate in the Culinary God Competition, then send Hong Fugui and the insightful people of the Gong faction away from Jilin, and then explore the reincarnators' target, while also thwarting the "Imperial Army's" conspiracy.

[Brother Jiang, can't you directly perceive the reincarnators' purpose?]

Lu Jin was extremely surprised.

You should know that Jiang Liu has cultivated wisdom and mastered the Dharma Eye, yet he couldn't detect the reincarnator's target.

incredible!

Upon entering Jilin—no, I should say, the instant I entered Northeast China—it became increasingly difficult for me to observe the situation.

It's obvious!

The Supreme God distorted the abstract information within this area. From the perspective of the naked eye, the world still appeared the same as usual, but the abstract information hidden in this normal space was in an extremely chaotic state.

When it comes to organizing, summarizing, and drawing conclusions, Jiang Liu is also capable of doing so.

But it is not necessary.

Just as Duanmu Ying once said to him:

If you use your keen eye too much, your brain will become rusty.

For Jiang Liu, the current situation is nothing more than returning to the starting point of his cultivation, and simply rekindling his anticipation of exploring the unknown.

Besides, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

The main god space causes chaos in the abstract information of this area, which inevitably requires constant maintenance, and this "maintenance"—

This is simply a manifestation of the rules!

which is:

Order exists even amidst chaos!

Once Jiang Liu finds that "order," his understanding of the Main God Space will be able to advance further.

That supreme god is truly despicable. It would be one thing if he helped us, but he actually twisted the rules.

Miss Liu cursed, but there was nothing she could do.

Although Jiang Liu's discerning eye was failing him and his divine eye was also ineffective, he still managed to locate Hong Fugui's location—a high-end restaurant run by Japanese people.

After all, it also has the skill of mental scanning.

Jiang Liu and the other four were no longer their original appearances. Dressed in kimonos and wooden clogs, they were about to enter when they were stopped by a man with a small mustache and wearing a light white headscarf with a red dot on it. The man said in Japanese, "Please show your identification."

What identification?

Jiang Liu countered in fluent Tokyo dialect, "I just came from Tokyo not long ago. I missed the sushi from my hometown, so I asked around with my family and that's how we found this place."

Upon hearing that Jiang Liu's family was from Tokyo, the man's expression turned solemn. He bowed apologetically, but still stood in the doorway, saying, "I hope you are aware that there are spies in Changchun recently. Just in case, please show me your and your family's identification."

Please understand that these are extraordinary times. The Chinese people on this land are treacherous and cunning, and we must be wary of them.

Chapter 1333 Nobi Shinsuke's Family

"I understand."

Upon hearing the term "Shina people," all five were shocked and enraged.

Even Jiang Liu felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he remained outwardly calm and asked in return, "I've also heard about the recent unrest, but I'm from Tokyo. Do you think I'm a spy?"

Instantly.

The man sensed a powerful aura in the darkness, swallowed hard, and hurriedly said, "Of course not, sir, it's just that the rules are the rules, and we dare not disobey them."

"Really? But I think you're a spy?" Jiang Liu turned the tables, his sharp gaze making the other person's heart skip a beat.

Jiang Liu then stretched out his hand and said leisurely, "Let me see your identification first!"

The man was already terrified, wondering if Jiang Liu was some important figure. Then he saw the five men's kimonos, which were smooth and delicate, made of high-grade silk. His heart sank even further, but he could only stammer as he took out a document from his waist: palm-sized, with a white cover and the words "Residence Permit" written on it.

Unlike what Jiang Liu remembered from his previous life, in this Qing Dynasty, the Japanese pirates created two types of certificates.

One was a certificate of good citizenship, issued to local residents.

The second is a residence permit, which is issued to Japanese citizens.

Regardless of age, even newborn babies must be registered.

The residence permit can be further divided into three categories: white for ordinary Japanese citizens, yellow for Japanese military personnel, and red for Japanese citizens who have provided significant assistance to the Japanese military.

Jiang Liu snatched the white residence permit, examined it for a moment, scanned it with his mental power to confirm the situation, and then casually threw it at the other person's face.

Snapped!

Before the man could get angry, Jiang Liu put his right hand behind his waist, grabbed five red residence permits out of thin air, and handed them over with one hand.

Upon seeing the red residence permit, the man's anger vanished instantly. He tried to examine it but couldn't take it from Jiang Liu's hand. He asked in confusion, "Sir, what is this?"

"You caught it with one hand, are you looking down on us?" Jiang Liu's eyes were sharp.

"No! I absolutely did not mean that!"

The other party immediately apologized, and to show sincerity, bowed ninety degrees, raised both hands, and respectfully accepted the five red residence permits from Jiang Liu, comparing them with the photos of the five people—

The man in the lead (Jiangliu) is named Nobi Shinsuke, a great painter who once funded the army with 300 million yen. His residence permit bears the seal of Muto Nobuyoshi!

The two women standing next to Jiang Liu are named Nobi Tamako (Red Girl), Nobi Shinsuke's wife, and Shizuka Gozen (White Moon Queen), Nobi Tamako's cousin.

Standing in front of Jiang Liu were two young men and women, both with youthful appearances and around 1.5 meters tall. One was named Nobita Nobi (Lu Jin), and the other was named Shizuka (Miss Liu). They were Jiang Liu's children.

After confirming his identity, the man respectfully held the five residence permits with both hands, his eyes full of envy. Seeing Jiang Liu's impatience, he respectfully handed the residence permits back and led the way, saying, "Respected Mr. Nobi Shinsuke, Mrs. Nobi Tamako, Mrs. Shizuka Gozen, and young master Nobita and young lady Shizuka, please follow me. I will take you to the most upscale private room and guarantee to provide you with the most attentive service."

"Lead the way."

Jiang Liu took the residence permit, tucked it behind his waist, and it vanished in an instant. He then went to the private room with the waiter.

Upon entering the private room, one finds it spacious with tatami mats on the floor. To the left is a square table with quilts on all four sides, forming a kotatsu, a common Japanese heating appliance.

Without him.

This is simply because Japanese people are used to sitting on the floor.

"What would you like to eat, Mr. Nobi?" The waiter asked respectfully, taking out a small booklet and a pen.

"One serving each of sushi, ramen, eel rice, and Wagyu beef. The food on the ship wasn't fresh when we arrived here," Jiang Liu ordered.

"Our ingredients are absolutely fresh, and they taste several times better than the pre-made meals on those merchant ships!" the waiter said, and immediately went to make the arrangements.

But Jiang Liu stopped him and asked, "I've heard that Chinese cuisine is also very good. Would you mind serving us a portion as well?"

"this···"

The waiter was somewhat hesitant, but considering the family's red residency permits, and that Nobi Shinsuke's permit even bore General Muto's seal, he dared not be negligent. He could only explain, "Mr. Nobi, you must have heard about the Culinary Masters Competition, right? One of the local chefs from Qing Dynasty is here with us. General Muto gave the emperor face, which is why he was allowed to stay here before the competition..."

No one here can order him to cook.

He doesn't serve us outsiders either; he's inflexible.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jiang Liu stood up and ordered, "Take me to see that cook."

"this--"

The waiter pondered for a moment, realizing that no matter how capable Hong Fugui was, he was still just a cook. General Mutō didn't care about him at all; he only wanted to appease the puppet emperor...

This Mr. Nobi Shinsuke was related to General Muto, and he couldn't afford to offend him. Moreover, if he served him well, he might get more benefits in the future, so he agreed and added, "Where is there any need for Mr. Nobi to come? I will bring him here."

How could this be?
