For them, the survival crisis that had plagued the soul beast race for countless years has now ushered in a bright future!
Gu Yue looked at the hope on their faces, her eyes flickered slightly, and the slight wavering in her heart finally made up her mind.
She said no more, turned around, and walked step by step into the deep lake of life behind her, her figure slowly swallowed by the water.
She needed to use the gold from the creatures at the bottom of the lake to quickly replenish the physical weakness left after the healing process. Then, following the orders given to her before the person left, she began to take human form.
As long as she doesn't breach the contract, the soul beast race will not encounter any problems.
As long as the soul beast race doesn't cause any problems, he doesn't care what he does to her.
It was just a necessary sacrifice.
Chapter 200 Maid Qiu'er
Time passed, and a few days later,
Inside the pavilion of the Kong Family Garden,
A gentle breeze blew around the pavilion, and a simple and elegant purple clay tea set was placed on the stone table inside.
The gentle-looking young man sat quietly by the stone table, then slowly picked up the teapot.
The young man skillfully warmed the teapot and cups, then took out the tea leaves and poured in water. His movements were fluid and effortless; in no time, the aroma of tea rose with the rising steam.
A short while later, he calmly poured two cups of clear, amber-colored tea, then pushed one of them forward.
The silver-haired, blue-eyed girl blinked, then carefully picked up one of the cups, brought it to her nose to inhale its aroma, and took a small sip.
Suddenly, the girl's icy blue eyes lit up: "It tastes good! Is it a new variety?"
"This is an experimental sample. Next time, let's try the cold brew method and see if it tastes better."
This was a byproduct he accidentally obtained while exploring the application of life energy. Nourished by life energy, even tea of ordinary variety underwent a qualitative leap in taste.
Miss Meng narrowed her eyes: "That's great~ Then I'll give you a reward next time?"
"As long as it's not some weird reward like someone wearing white stockings stepping on me, it's fine."
Miss Meng tilted her head, feigning ignorance: "You clearly don't mind it."
Kong Ming'an sighed: "I didn't reject you, okay?"
Miss Meng paused upon hearing this, blinked, but did not refute it further.
She paused briefly, her eyes involuntarily glancing towards one side of the pavilion.
There, a young girl stood quietly.
The girl had long, radiant golden hair like sunlight and a pair of bright red eyes like glass. Her face was delicate, with a touch of heroism in her features, making her quite striking.
Of course, what's most eye-catching is her maid outfit, which contrasts sharply with her own dashing and heroic temperament.
The upper body features a classic black and white color scheme, with a well-tailored dress that accentuates her proud and full bust. The waist is slightly cinched, creating a balanced silhouette, and a large black bow is tied at the back. Both elements complement the curves of her upper body perfectly.
The skirt hem reached her knees, edged with delicate lace. Beneath the hem, long, slender legs were tightly encased in sheer white stockings. The stockings, with their slightly reflective material, subtly revealed the color of her skin, outlining her legs flawlessly.
On the girl's face, however, was a clear sense of discomfort and humiliation, which, intertwined with her inherently proud, lion-like demeanor, created a strange contrast that was hard to look away from.
Anyway, her attention was immediately drawn to this unfamiliar maid when she arrived today.
It's that strange feeling of wanting to tease or bully the other person for no reason.
Meng Hongchen leaned closer, then lowered her voice and whispered, "What's up with this little maid of yours? Where did you come from?"
Kong Ming said calmly, "She insisted on staying by my side to monitor me, and I couldn't get rid of her, so I simply made her my maid."
"You have such a twisted sense of humor," Miss Meng retorted.
"Not at all."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Miss Meng smiled, paused slightly, and leaned closer: "Do you have any extras? Can you get me a set too? You can help me put it on yourself?"
Kong Ming'an: "..."
Please don't test your cadres at any time or place.
Kong Ming'an couldn't help but complain inwardly, but instead of answering, he changed the subject, asking, "How are the preparations going for the things I mentioned before?"
Miss Meng looked slightly disappointed, but when it came to serious matters, she became more reserved and lost her joking expression.
"It's basically all sorted out."
As she spoke, she skillfully opened the "Ling Shu Network" and shared her screen. Instantly, a detailed map of the Sun and Moon Empire appeared before Kong Ming'an's eyes.
"The promotion of the Ling Shu Network started a long time ago. After all, members of the Chamber of Commerce have access rights, and we have not concealed the convenience brought by using the Ling Shu Network. Therefore, there are many people in the public who are curious about it, so it is not difficult to promote it."
"However, the royal family, or rather the imperial nobility, have some other ideas. They want an independent method for constructing the Spiritual Pivot Network, or at least independent network management authority."
"In exchange, they promised to implement a mandatory access system for the Ling Shu Network throughout the Empire, with the aim of achieving universal coverage."
Kong Ming'an looked at the coverage area of the Ling Shu Network on the map and asked thoughtfully, "Which version of the Ling Shu Network do they consider to be?"
Miss Meng narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips, making her look like a little white fox:
"The initial version used specially designed soul tools as servers to construct nodes, thereby establishing a mental transmission network."
"Then, a certain Crown Prince couldn't sit still any longer and hired two super Douluo-level evil soul masters to steal it. One of the super evil soul masters died, and the other was half-dead and severely injured."
"However, they did manage to accomplish their mission and brought back the blueprints for building the Ling Shu network server."
She paused, her tone becoming slightly more serious.
"Because it's the initial version, the network that's built is at most a subordinate network of the Ling Shu network. The information is independent, but I can still view and interfere with it."
"They were unaware of this and had secretly built several small internal networks."
“I’ve monitored it. Some of them are normal, but there are a few sub-networks where the active users are all evil spirit masters.”
Kong Ming'an nodded and said calmly, "Then let's agree to their demands."
Because of the appearance of the "Tree of Billions of Silver Radiance," the information processing and carrying capacity of the "Spiritual Pivot" has been elevated to an unimaginable level.
Therefore, the "Ling Shu Network" has the conditions for widespread adoption.
Furthermore, since the "Spiritual Pivot Network" is an extension of the "Spiritual Pivot," and the "Spiritual Pivot" is one of the three elements that constituted his first spirit ring,
Therefore, he has absolute control over the "Ling Shu Network" and all its derivative sub-networks.
Once the Sun and Moon Empire is fully established, he will have the ability to monitor every corner of the empire.
At that time, information about all evil spirit masters, criminals, and villains will be as clear as fireflies in the dark.
What awaits them is an inescapable massacre under the shadow of the "Ling Shu Network".
It's like your room is usually messy, but you haven't tidied it up yet because you've had too many things to do.
If I have time, I will definitely clean the room thoroughly, put away all the trash, and leave nothing out of the way.
Miss Meng nodded: "Understood, then I'll reply to them like that."
Kong Ming'an nodded: "You can arrange it."
Miss Meng got up, preparing to leave to continue her business, but after taking only a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Kong Ming'an.
"Remember to get me a set too, the kind that's easy to untie."
Kong Ming'an: "..."
Chapter 201 Ling Shu Goes Online
After her usual attempt to seduce her childhood sweetheart, Miss Meng left satisfied.
Kong Ming'an continued to leisurely sip the remaining tea in his cup.
At that moment, as if remembering something, he turned his head and looked at Qiu'er, who was dressed in a maid's outfit and staring intently at him.
"Shall I pour you a glass too?"
Qiu'er remained silent, her pair of crystal-clear red eyes still fixed on him.
Why would she wear such a shameful outfit and act as the other person's maid?
It's very simple. She just wants to keep a close eye on this bastard. As long as she keeps a close watch on him, she will always find a chance to stop him from reaching out his evil claws to her master!
I will keep watching you forever.jpg
Kong Ming'an looked at Qiu'er thoughtfully, wondering if he should simply let her listen to the sounds outside the door next time he flirted with the Dragon King's daughter.
It sounds like it would be very interesting?
A strange sense of morbid curiosity arose within him, and Kong Ming'an smiled slightly.
Without asking any further questions, he gently picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then imbued it with soul power to maintain its constant temperature. He then gently placed it on the table beside him.
Although Miss Ruishou is being stubborn now, she will naturally come and drink when she is really thirsty.
Cats will find their own water bowl when they're thirsty.
Having finished these tasks, Kong Ming'an returned his attention to his own research.
With a slight thought, two spirit rings with completely opposite attributes appeared beside him.
One is dark purple, and the other is emerald green.
The foundation of these two spirit rings was a "seed" formed from a small amount of divine power extracted from the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, which he then used as a blueprint to build upon.
Kong Ming'an tentatively refers to them as the "Ring of Destruction" and the "Ring of Life".
Its power is certainly not at the level of a god-king, or even at the level of a god; it is more like a high-level imitation and replication.
One of his core purposes in constructing them was to explore the legendary power of creation.
In the original story, the combined powers of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life briefly recreated the power of the God of Creation.
Now that he has samples of both divine powers, he is constantly exploring and experimenting, and who knows, he might actually be able to create a beggar's version of the power of creation to play with.
Of course, it's not his usual style to just fumble around like a headless fly; he does have a direction.
Kong Ming'an's gaze was calm as a complex energy model clearly emerged in his mind—the energy model of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The essence of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is that after the fall of the two great god-kings, the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, their extremely opposite dragon souls and energies clashed and annihilated each other under special terrain conditions, ultimately achieving a strange balance, giving birth to a special environment that can greatly accelerate plant growth.
Previously, with the help of the "Ling Shu's" massive computing power, he successfully analyzed and replicated this energy model, creating the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Greenhouse".
Unfortunately, due to the limited quality of the energy source, the effect is far inferior to the original, only providing a three- to four-fold growth acceleration, but that's sufficient for most purposes.
Now, however, he possesses even higher levels of destructive and life-giving divine power.
These two forces also represent the ultimate opposition and unity. Can they also be applied to this proven energy model?
Kong Ming'an was eager to try. Regardless of whether it would succeed, it would at least provide a direction, and perhaps even yield some results.
Thinking this, Kong Ming'an slowly closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in the deduction.
Behind him, the phantom of the "Divine Kingdom of Order" faintly appeared. The branches and leaves of the ancient silver tree, its entire body shimmering with silver light, trembled slightly. A huge silver halo revolved around it, and a vast stream of data provided it with unparalleled computing power support.
Under the close watch of the maid behind him, Kong Ming'an entered a state of research.
……
……
Time passed slowly. After Kong Ming'an finalized his decision, and Miss Meng carried it out on his behalf, the Sun Moon Empire's high command's resolution regarding the widespread adoption of the "Spiritual Pivot Network" was passed and implemented with extraordinary speed, all within just three days.
The resolution was passed so quickly partly because the "Ling Shu Network" itself offers many tangible benefits, such as efficient information flow and convenient social management.
The other part is that other forces within the Sun Moon Empire are genuinely impatient.
Leveraging its first-mover advantage through "Ling Shu Network," the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce has virtually crushed the vast majority of traditional industries, establishing a near-monopoly.
If the person behind the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce wasn't that pillar of the empire, and if the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce didn't operate with an aggressive business model, and hadn't developed many other industries to share the pie with everyone,
Otherwise, the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce would have been targeted long ago.
Only by popularizing the "Ling Shu Network" can everyone's starting point be temporarily brought back to the same level.
After the empire promised a series of preferential policies and resource allocations, the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce finally handed over the detailed methods and technical standards for building the "Ling Shu Network" server.
After rigorous verification by the Empire, confirming the technology's feasibility and the absence of any backdoor risks, the "Ling Shu Network" universalization program was officially promulgated and announced nationwide.
Subsequently, a massive wave of server base station construction, officially spearheaded by the Sun Moon Empire, swept across the empire.
