It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"No, not really..."

Lin Yue stammered as she tried to defend her master. She might have cared about what happened between the two of them in the past, but now it didn't matter to her anymore. Being able to see Xu Shi again was the best thing for her.

The atmosphere of the call was quite cheerful. Seeing both sides talking and laughing, Xu Shi also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

There is also a bit of melancholy mixed in. It should be said that it has been a long time since I went out to sea... Speaking of which, I feel that the girls who stayed in the Night Sin City have become much prettier, especially the little black rabbit. Although she still has a bit of bad aura, overall, she has really grown into a big girl...

The person opposite him had similar thoughts. Was it because they hadn't seen each other for too long? It seemed that Xu Shi was a little more handsome than before...

"Okay, let's talk about something serious."

Finally, it was Su Lin who interrupted them, her expression becoming serious, "Chengcheng told me earlier that something happened to the young master, what exactly happened?"

This was the first time they had a video call, but they had exchanged telegrams before, and they had all received news about the expedition against the Sea God, so naturally they wanted to get to the bottom of it now.

"This one……"

Although it was a safe bet in the end, the atmosphere inevitably becomes a bit heavy when talking about this.

"Xia Wuyou."

Director Su mentioned Xia Xiaomao's name, and it was very rare for him to call her by her name. "I asked you to protect the young master's safety, and this is what you did?!"

She is recognized by everyone as a wise woman. Although she may not talk about this on weekdays, when it comes to things related to Xu Shi, Su Lin will suddenly become extremely serious, not to mention that Xu Shi is in danger of his life this time, so her tone is already calm.

"I……"

Xia Wuyou didn't know how to explain. You said she didn't protect him? Of course not, but she did not save Xu Shi. If Xu Shi hadn't had his own ideas, he might have been in great danger this time.

This also made her feel a little aggrieved, and she dodged and dared not look Su Lin in the eye.

"Well, why do you blame her? Things are not what you think."

Xu Shi smiled and sighed, then pulled her over and said, "Listen to me, this is what happened at that time..."

It was obvious that Director Su didn't know everything before. After hearing Xu Shi's whole story, her brows gradually relaxed.

"...So that's it."

She also sighed, "It's true that Wuyou shouldn't be blamed. I was a little impatient."

"No, no, me too..."

Xia Wuyou waved his hands. This was not Sister Su Lin’s problem. If she wanted to blame her, she would blame herself for not being strong enough.

"I know, you don't need to explain."

Su Lin shook her head. "Isn't it the Master who should be blamed? I've told you that you're not good at fighting. If you encounter danger like this, you shouldn't rush to the front. I was a little worried before, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

The joyful conversation instantly turned into a nagging from her sister. That day, Xu Shi recalled the fear of being dominated by the old nanny...

"Anyway, I'm still a little worried."

After an unknown amount of nagging, Su Lin finally stopped preaching, "Now the route is clear... I think it's better for me to come over."

"I want to come too! I want to come too!" Gu Yi was the first to agree.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can take a vacation." Tang Shuang also said.

Lin Yue murmured in the back, "Me, me too..."

Even if you come, you can’t control me... Xu Shi muttered to himself.

He then asked about something he was concerned about, "I haven't asked you yet, what was the situation in Night Sin City when we were away?"

"We are going very smoothly here. The reconstruction of Sin City is basically completed, and the regulations jointly promoted by several consortiums have also begun to be implemented."

Su Lin pursed her lips, "Snake Ring and Prism have also made many improvements and updates to previous products, such as the Twin chip, which is now the fourth generation, and Sublimation... Let me show you the demonstration picture first, and the specific information can be transmitted later."

She was obviously well prepared, with all kinds of pictures available. She said she understood the situation, which was naturally mutual.

"You have worked hard too."

As the pictures passed by, I sighed softly.

All I can say is that no one is really giving up - a lot can be seen from the situation in Sin City alone. Before I left, only the basics had been completed there, but looking at it now, it feels like it is in no way inferior to the level of District 13 and above, and it looks prosperous.

It can be said that the entire Night Sin City has been greatly improved, which made him feel that keeping Su Lin to help with the construction was really the right choice.

Of course, Tang Shuang, Lin Yue and the others are also very capable, including Gu Yi you mentioned, they are all definite contributors.

He also took the opportunity to introduce everyone to Silver Pine Island and the situation of Pan Cheng's side. He called him along so that he could have a more intuitive feeling of what he could provide him, or what the specific things on Silver Pine Island were.

Pan Cheng was indeed shocked by this. No matter how good the previous description was, it was not as shocking as seeing the real Night Sin City.

This is completely like two different worlds from Silver Pine Island! Even the main city of the empire has many differences, or shortcomings and backwardness compared to them...

"Brother Xu, can these things be installed on Silver Pine Island?"

He also asked bluntly, "It doesn't have to be exactly the same as your city-state, but many places are really helpful to Silver Pine Island."

Before, Xu Shi only showed him part of it, or he could feel some of the things himself, such as circuits, and things like electric lights, which he had some understanding of.

At that time, he knew how valuable these things were to Yinsong Island. It was not that the Hualan Empire did not have similar facilities, but the energy used to activate them was completely different. The Hualan Empire's usual practice was to use liquid "divine breath" to activate them. The effect might not be obvious, but the cost was really high. Not to mention the people on the island, even he, the island owner, might not be able to afford it.

Including the communication method you mentioned, if it is driven by "divine breath", the formation has been so stable for so long, I'm afraid it will drain all his wealth...

"Of course."

Xu Shi smiled and signaled him not to worry. "I had considered this aspect when I laid the circuit, as well as water use and road access. I also have ideas for upgrading Yinsong Island. As for the details, such as how to do it and who we should send to help you, Brother Pan, don't worry. We can talk slowly."

"...Thank you, Brother Xu."

Pan Cheng was overjoyed. He knew very well how much these things would change Yinsong Island once they were completed.

Xu Shi smiled faintly. He had always regarded Pan Cheng as a trustworthy person. Besides, the sisters Feng and Ling were also his own and now his descendants, so of course he would help them as much as possible.

Moreover, transforming Yinsong Island into a base would be of great benefit to his subsequent deployments.

This is a complete win-win.

However, when it comes to the sisters Feng and Ling, their focus does not seem to be on this aspect.

Especially Pan Ling, the stupid apprentice who witnessed the whole process, now has only one thought in her mind.

Should we call all these people "shiniang" too? My goodness, Master, how many "shiniang" do you have... And the one called Gu Yi doesn't seem to be much older than me.

Then could it be that the master also... oh, what nonsense is he thinking?

This historic video lasted for quite a while, mainly because we hadn't been in touch for a long time and naturally had a lot to talk about, so we chatted until the evening.

When they hung up, both sides were still a little reluctant to leave. Fortunately, the base station has been completed now, so they don't have to suffer from missing each other. They can talk whenever they want, including when Su Lin and the others will come and what specific preparations to make, which can also be discussed in detail later.

night.

After returning to his residence and looking at the communication bracelet that could finally be used again, Xu Shi felt a little emotional.

Maybe it was because he hadn't touched these high-tech things for a long time, and for a moment he actually felt as if he was in another world.

At this moment, the bracelet's communication rang after a long absence.

The caller was Gu Yi.

"You missed me so soon?"

Xu Shi answered the call with a smile. This really seemed like something she would do.

"You wish. I'm so happy that you don't bully me."

Miss Black Rabbit put on a tsundere look, "But I do have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

"That's right... I forgot to tell you just now, I tried using "sublimation" some time ago, and now I am also an A-level or even A+-level "upgrader". "

"Do you want to know what my ability is?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 246 The female ghost clamored online and was killed offline Ver20

"Do not want to."

Xu Shi’s answer was brief and straightforward.

"Hey, Xu Shi, you bastard!"

Gu Yi's face was visibly red on the other end of the line. "I came to you with good intentions, and you treat me like this?"

Warning warning!

"Oh~ It's obviously you who missed me too much, okay?"

Mr. Xu was shameless and wanted to uncover the little black rabbit's veil. "So I should be the one showing mercy... Why don't you say thank you, Mr. Xu?"

"You... you're making me so angry! I didn't believe people saying that men get bored easily, but now I believe it!"

Having her little trick exposed, Gu Yi jumped up and down in anger, "You, you, you...just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Come on, come on... Xu Shi laughed so hard that he rolled over. To be honest, he missed Gu Yi as well, mainly because other people were not as fun to bully as her.

Shen Qin? Who is she? I don’t know her… And to be honest, that should be called “training”. Besides, my good sister is still in a coma and hasn’t woken up yet, right?

But just as he was admiring Miss Black Rabbit's helpless and furious look, she suddenly reached out her hand to him.

Before Xu Shi could react, he felt someone hit him on the head.

Ok?

Looking around, of course there was no one else, only Miss Gu Yi laughing happily on the other side of the screen.

“Hahahaha… Do you know how powerful I am? Hmm?”

Miss Black Rabbit was very proud, "Bad men who get bored easily should be severely tortured!"

Oh ho?

Xu Shi blinked, and quickly realized the other party's new ability.

To put it in simple terms, this should be... hitting someone through the Internet cable?

Oh my god, is there really such a power?! When I read the novel in my previous life, I just thought it was funny, but I didn’t expect it to really happen to me...

But speaking of this, Xu Shi couldn't help but feel confused. If his memory was correct, when Gu Yi's "data supercomputing" broke through to level A, the new ability that emerged should not be this. It was simply a further deepening on the original basis to gain stronger personal concentration.

This is also why she has abilities comparable to AI in the original work... and now she has come up with new tricks?

Quite interesting.

But after thinking about it carefully, he let it go. After all, the current situation deviated from the original world line a lot. If you really calculate it by time, it might not even be the day for his final battle with Shen He... It's no longer the same day.

Similarly, for Miss Black Rabbit, both the environment she is in and her own personality and development have undergone very big changes.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for her ability to change... This thing is originally related to her own situation. Even if he has gone further, hasn't he? It is no longer the time to rely on the original book.

So, if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be something to worry about.

but.

Having said that, this isn't a reason for some female ghosts to act recklessly with their new abilities, right?

then.

"Since I let you deliberately piss me off, I should give you a few more hits, humph... hey hey hey?"

Miss Black Rabbit was still immersed in the joy of turning over and becoming the master, but the next second she suddenly felt as if her wrist was grabbed by someone and was suspended in the air, unable to move.

Before she could react, she saw Xu Shi appear in front of her.

"Xu Shi, you..."

Looking at the bastard man in front of him, the little black rabbit was completely stunned, "You, how could you?"

"What? You're awesome for being able to hit someone along the internet cable, huh?"

Xu Shi smiled evilly, "I heard someone just said that he wanted to torture me severely?"

"No, you, why can you... No one can catch me like this..."

Gu Yi had no time to discuss this kind of problem with him. She was incoherent and tongue-tied, and had no idea what was going on.

"Do you think you are the only one who has made progress during this period?"

Xu Shi smiled happily. He didn't expect that his sudden inspiration would come true.
