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

"OK."

Jiang Chengcheng nodded, "I carefully analyzed the structure of the Sea God Stone, and the result is not good."

"Although it looks beautiful, the rust mist content of Poseidon Stone is actually not as high as expected. It is inferior to the ore from the Forgotten Mine... Even the best part can only be slightly better, about 0.5%."

She put the data records aside and began to tell the story.

“Is this thing very hierarchical?”

Xu Shi asked.

"correct."

Jiang Chengcheng took out a sample and showed it to him. "You can tell by looking at the appearance, right? This piece of dark blue has the highest content, and the lighter ones are inferior products... This whitish piece is no different from ordinary crystal, and the "rust mist" content is almost zero."

"My personal analysis is that although they are all pieces of the Sea God's corpse, the Sea God is huge, and the Sea God stones formed from different parts will definitely not be exactly the same. The main part must be of better quality."

Xu Shi agreed with this statement. After all, he had been inside the body of Poseidon, so he felt this more intuitively - the main body of Poseidon had a complete ecosystem, while the tentacle part could only spray dirt and grow spikes. Of course, they could not be generalized.

"That means this thing can't be used as a tonic, right? It's not even very effective as a synthetic material?"

"Of course. You don't think you can just eat it, do you?"

Jiang Chengcheng smiled. You can't just absorb "Rust Mist" directly. You have to transform it... "Its conductivity is average. I tried adding it to weapons, but the results were not good. I guess it has something to do with the uniqueness of Poseidon. This is not an ordinary "Rust Mist" ore."

"The only outstanding feature is probably its plasticity. It is easier to polish than it looks. If you just want to destroy it and extract the rust mist, it does have some value."

She continued, "Or maybe carrying it with you all the time would help the Ascendant to some extent? Although the effect is not obvious."

"That's it..."

Xu Shi was a little disappointed when he heard that. The gold coins dropped by the old man were not very good.

But the next second, he realized something.

It is more aesthetic than practical, has its own level, is highly malleable, is non-renewable, and has not yet been popularized by the public...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud very wildly, as if he had encountered some great thing.

"what happened to you?"

Jiang Chengcheng was almost frightened and asked hurriedly.

"Nothing, nothing."

Xu Shi shook his head and snapped the book in his hand shut. He then tore off a piece of paper, wrote something on it, crumpled it into three balls, and handed it to her.

"This is what we're going to do next... pick one?"

I'm back, everyone please don't follow my example of staying up late or having an inverted schedule, it's bad for your health...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 250: Classmate Xia Wuyou, I will give you special education!

Everyone knows the subtext of Xu Shi’s question “What to do next?”

It was obvious that he had already thought about how to deal with the imperialists...but Jiang Chengcheng still couldn't figure it out for a while.

Because she knew Xu Shi very well. If he wanted to do something, especially something like a prank, he would either use a series of tricks or defeat the enemy with one move... What could he do with something like the reliable Poseidon Stone?

She is good at things like engineering materials and weapons, but not so good at going around in circles. Even after she came to power, she basically followed Xu Shi's orders. She managed people just by putting on a sour face, but she didn't really have any other special skills.

But since Xu Shi had spoken, she of course obeyed and picked up a paper ball at random.

When I opened it, I saw a small flower painted on it.

"Is this... a tulip?"

It took her a while to remember what kind of flower it was. That's how engineering girls are... Especially since Night Sin City is a steel forest with little green, it's not easy to call out its name.

But she certainly didn't quite understand the meaning behind this, and everyone else present was also confused. What was this guy up to?

"Well..."

Xu Shi had no intention of pretending to be mysterious. Everyone present was his own family, so there was nothing difficult to explain.

Tulips naturally represent the tulip bubble, one of the three major bubble events in modern Europe in the past life. According to records, this was even the earliest bubble economy event in the past life.

The situation at that time was that the new flowers tulips introduced into the market were snapped up by people extremely crazily, and then speculators came into the market and drove up the price to an unprecedented high. Finally, the bubble was burst and the farce ended.

Fortunately, the authorities at that time took timely action and solved the problem simply and roughly. Otherwise, the mess would have definitely dealt a heavy blow to the maritime overlord at that time.

What he has to do now is to replicate this incident.

It can only be said that the land of the Hualan Empire is too suitable for such a feast - similar social structure, imbalance of wealth... In this case, his original idea was to start an economic war or something like that. After all, turning the Hualan Empire upside down in this way will definitely be better in the long run than simply conquering it by force.

Especially when conquering by force, you have to consider many external factors, such as Cheng Gujian, the most direct one.

Even if he was a powerful official who could cover up everything, Xu Shi knew through the previous conversation that he was firm in his heart. Not to mention that he was an outsider, he even held deep hostility towards the Holy See. If they really had a falling out, he had no doubt that the other party would be the first to die.

As everyone knows, it is no exaggeration to say that an SS-level "Upgrader" can defeat thousands of troops alone - my grandfather Wen Shengkui's performance in the previous riots can already explain a lot of problems... The fact is that if there was no leadership at the time, the old man could definitely rely on his own strength, with a little help at most, to easily suppress it.

Including what you said about Xia Ke'an, the old lady certainly didn't have the fighting power, but that was just because she didn't have the right professional skills. How could she be so bad at "foreseeing the future"? Without her help, it would have been impossible to be foolproof before.

The reason why he only took action at critical points was simply because my grandfather was indeed old. On the other hand, he probably wanted to test his eldest grandson. If such things could be solved perfectly, he would not have any worries no matter what happened in the future.

From this perspective, the riot caused by Shen He was really lost from the very beginning... But that's all in the past, and I didn't lose, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Qin had already been standing beside him, trying to kill Jiang Chengcheng, the bad woman, with her eyes, and she also noticed the changes in Xu Shi's expression.

She didn't know what Xu Shi was thinking, but she was happy if her brother was happy. The happiness of a good sister was very simple.

Then again, from this we can imagine that Cheng Gujian is also a tough nut to crack. Can you be sure that he showed his full strength when he defeated the Sea God? It's impossible to think about it... It's no exaggeration to say that the ability like "Destruction" is terrifying. Even if he can win, both sides will suffer in the end.

Xu Shi didn't want both sides to suffer losses. Losses of that magnitude were no different from failure. There was even another problem that could not be ignored.

Even someone as powerful as Cheng Gujian is still in confrontation with the Holy See, right?

Of course, it’s because the strength over there is also strong, and there is a Pope who has been fighting with him... The only one who can compete with an SS is of course another SS.

Xu Shi had heard before that this Pope lived in seclusion and many local people didn't know how powerful he was, not to mention himself. When he tried to get information from Cheng Gujian, the answer he got was evasive - according to Cheng Gujian, the last time he fought with the Pope was more than 20 years ago, when both of them were only S-level. It was hard to say how he was doing now.

This is already two hats to bear...not to mention that he is an outsider. Who can guarantee that once a war breaks out, they will temporarily put aside their past grudges and come together to deal with him?

I can only say that this possibility is definitely not too low. If that is the case, then we must do it...

Therefore, in this situation, the means must not be too radical. It is definitely better to infiltrate little by little by boiling the frog in warm water.

Especially since this is a plan that needs to be implemented step by step, it is easier to test the other party's bottom line, and it will be more convenient for him to make flexible adjustments at that time.

Please note that the bottom line mentioned here is not just the bottom line of the Holy See and the royal family. There is also a problem that must be faced, that is, how tolerant "heavenly justice" is of his exception. This is also one of the reasons why he went to sea to explore the New World.

Alas, being a villain is really tiring.

It’s a pity that the others didn’t have time to empathize with him yet, they were in a state of extreme shock.

Jiang Chengcheng was fine, having followed Mr. Xu for so long, what storms had she not seen? But Pan Ling was different. The more she listened, the brighter her eyes became, full of admiration for her master.

Because she could still roughly understand the plan, and could imagine how much trouble this would cause... Was the master really that powerful? Could he come up with a plan that could affect the entire empire while chatting and laughing?

Although Xu Shi only gave an outline, the silly disciple was still very smart and knew that there must be more details later. Besides, just the outline alone was already impressive, okay?

If you say you didn't worship the right master, then who else is right?

Thinking of this, she even felt a little excited - one could only say that Xu Shi was like this. After being with him for a long time, anyone would have a vague expectation of doing bad things and eventually become a fun person.

It was Xia Wuyou before, and now it’s her...

Shen Qin's eyes were also sparkling - to be honest, her memory had just been restored, and many things were really blank. Xu Shi's words filled in these blanks very well.

It fits her inner thinking that "my brother is awesome, oh no, my brother is the awesomest."

As for the consequences, who cares? My brother is never wrong.

Pan Feng was similar to the other two, with big, twinkling eyes.

But that kind of light is "light full of wisdom"... To be honest, she might be the only one who didn't understand most or even completely what the master was saying.

But since everyone thinks that the master is great, then the master must be great.

I don’t really understand it, but it sounds pretty impressive.

"So how did you come up with this idea?"

That being said, Jiang Chengcheng still asked this question. After all, her husband always came up with something new for everyone, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it difficult? Pretty simple, right?"

Xu Shi shamelessly flattered himself, without any guilt at all for being a plagiarist. His tricks were not new, as long as they worked.

Or maybe this is a new tactic - the gap between the rich and the poor in Night Crime City is too big, so it is difficult for a bubble to appear. Maybe it happened a long time ago? But it can't affect the thinking of their generation.

As for the Hualan Empire, it had never encountered such a situation at all. This was the reason why he had been reading the history books of the Hualan Empire these days.

Come up with something you haven't seen before. This will be a wake-up call that will catch them off guard and give them a big blow.

"Then is this Poseidon Stone the tulip that Master mentioned?"

Pan Ling also quickly added.

"otherwise?"

Xu Shi pinched her little face and said, "You still ask this kind of question. I think you want to copy the sect rules again."

In fact, even without the Poseidon Stone, this could still be done, and there are so many similar substitutes.

But in comparison, this thing is better. The advantages have been mentioned before. It is simply too suitable.

One more thing to add is that the Holy See and the royal family also have a large amount of reserves - what's even better is that both parties have no intention of letting the reserves flow into the eyes of the general public, which is undoubtedly another great advantage.

To be honest, this is the best reflection of the social structure. Xu Shi didn't believe that neither side had studied the Poseidon Stone. Maybe they also knew that this thing was not valuable... But having said that, the leftovers that the master couldn't eat would only be fed to the dogs. How could it be considered helping the poor?

But it’s better this way, it will only make it easier to implement his plan.

"I don't want to..."

Pan Ling rubbed her face in grievance. What a shame. The master was good in every way except that he loved to bully her. He should change for the better.

"Who cares whether you want to or not?"

Xu Shi gave her a reminder on the forehead, "It's okay to copy the sect rules, but you have to make up a detailed rule according to your teacher's ideas. This is considered homework."

"Yes."

The silly apprentice's grievance suddenly turned into excitement. She had to say what she should say. After hearing the evil master's plan, she actually came up with many ideas.

Even if Xu Shi didn't say it, she would try to make a copy, so that she could better compare and see what the gaps are between herself and her master.

Everyone said that Pan Feng practiced hard, but that was more because martial arts were more intuitive. In fact, Miss Xiaoling was not bad at all in this regard.

"go Go."

Xu Shi nodded with satisfaction. His silly disciple was indeed very diligent.

"I have another small question."

Just then, another voice suddenly rang out.

When I looked up, it was Xia Wuyou, who was leaning against the window and asking questions like a curious baby.

"when did you come?!"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows. If you're here, just come in. What's the matter with climbing on the window?

"Some people are talking big, I won't bother you for now, let you finish your acting first."

Xiaomao Xia smiled and walked in from the window.

Being considerate is reflected in all aspects. Being a qualified listener is also a rare quality, isn't it? Of course, the fact is that she was also a little fascinated by Xu Shi's aura just now. Don't look at the bad guy who doesn't have plastic surgery. When he is serious, he is more handsome than anyone else.

Hey, my man is awesome.

"What are you asking?"

Xu Shi also laughed and asked another question.

“It’s just a small problem.”

Xia Wuyou blinked, "Sister Chengcheng drew this tulip, so what are the other two paper balls?"
