One Sentence, and Everyone in Shrek Was Working for Me!

Xiang Bei felt like laughing. He really hadn't expected Jiang Nannan to be so different from how she seemed.

At first, she'd acted as though she were dying, saying it hurt and asking him to be gentler. Now that the medicine had soaked in, she'd started enjoying it instead, even asking him to use more strength.

Honestly...

Outside the door.

Xu Sanshi had been waiting for a long time. When he heard that Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen had entered Xiang Bei's room, he felt as though he'd been struck by lightning. His Dao heart had nearly shattered.

To keep Jiang Nannan from coming to harm, he'd been listening at the door from the start.

When he heard Meng Hongchen's coquettish shout, he was completely shaken and even snorted in contempt.

"Heh... so that's the kind of man you are, Xiang Bei. I thought you were some sort of upright gentleman, but you're just like me. Thousand-year Whale Rubber, my ass.

"You think I don't know that thousand-year Whale Rubber is supremely firm and yang and works as an aphrodisiac?"

But then Jiang Nannan's voice shattered him completely.

"Nannan... Nannan!"

"Nannan!!!"

Xu Sanshi snapped and roared, pounding frantically on the door and kicking it with all his might. He even used his Soul Skills.

But who was Xiang Bei?

Once bitten, twice shy. After Xu Sanshi had barged in last time, he'd keenly realized that if just anyone could enter, wouldn't his secret be exposed?

So,

He'd surrounded the room with Iron Wall's Protection, a Level 9 Soul Tool he'd brought from Mingde Hall, and powered it with nuclear fusion.

Even if a Super Douluo came, it could hold out for nearly half a day.

There was no way Xu Sanshi could break through.

"You're hurting me." Those words from Jiang Nannan were the last straw for Xu Sanshi. He hammered on the door like a madman, roaring as he broke down, like some impotent **.

"Ah!!!"

Amid his despair and grief, his Martial Soul... evolved.

His originally gray-black Xuanming Turtle sprouted a snake's tail, its head grew increasingly ferocious, and its dual water and earth attributes fused completely into its body.

His Soul Power climbed steadily. The Xuanming Turtle had actually undergone Ancestral Return and become the Divine Beast Xuanwu!

But whether due to radiation or his state of mind, the shell of Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Martial Soul was actually green.

It was dark green on top and pale green underneath, looking just like the famous two-sided turtle.

Xu Sanshi didn't know any of this. All he knew was that he'd grown stronger.

His Soul Skills had undergone a qualitative transformation, and he'd even unlocked a domain! Now that he controlled both water and earth, he could beat up ten of his former selves!

After the Ancestral Return.

His attacks grew even more violent, but he still couldn't shake the room in the slightest.

Because his strength had increased, he could hear the sounds inside even more clearly.

Overwhelmed by grief and indignation, Xu Sanshi spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious on the floor.

Inside the room.

Xiang Bei felt that his control over his spiritual power had improved significantly. Just as I thought, he mused. After all, controlling both his big head and his little head at the same time was hard, okay?

"All right, you two, you've rested long enough. Get ready to work." Xiang Bei dismissed them.

"Contact me with the Azure Luan Communicator if you need anything. I'm going into the Virtual World for a while."

Meng Hongchen and Jiang Nannan walked out of the room, glaring at each other. When they opened the door, Xu Sanshi's sorry state met their eyes.

Meng Hongchen instinctively grew wary. "What's he doing? He's not trying to extort Brother Bei for benefits, is he?"

"Our Shrek students aren't nearly as bad as you make them out to be," Jiang Nannan retorted, though she thought to herself, If it's him, though, you never know.

After calling a student over to take Xu Sanshi to the infirmary for a checkup, Jiang Nannan went straight to work on the assembly line.

By now, every Soul Tool Department student with nothing else to do was working like an ox or a horse on the assembly line. If the academy hadn't offered enough points, they probably would have gone on strike long ago.

Manufacturing Azure Luan Communicators required Soul Engineers, and the Xiao Yu Subsystem's computing power was needed to maintain the ever-expanding Virtual World, so that work could only be left to them.

As for the Soul Tool Department's students and teachers,

The strong ones went to the construction site to carry bricks. The special building materials were made of rare metals, and anyone who wasn't a Soul Master couldn't even lift them.

The fast ones led teams to recover rocket wreckage, mark landing sites, and compile data.

The remaining students all became construction laborers, working two shifts at the suburban construction site to build a new factory and Rocket Launch Site.

Most of the teachers had gone to the various empires to establish Virtual World nodes and ensure that the Azure Luan Communicator could break the ice.

For a time.

All of Shrek Academy was working for Xiang Bei.

The Virtual World.

Compared with the little village of before, it had now undergone a complete transformation.

A massive city stood at its center, with a north-south boulevard running through the entire city.

The city contained many vacant shops. In Xiang Bei's plans, all these shops could be rented out in the future to sell Soul Tools and various resources from different countries or developed by himself.

At the intersections stood several special portals, marked with labels such as Wilderness Zone, Training Ground, and Arena.

Through these portals, Soul Masters could go to the Wilderness Zone for real combat or pay to test new Soul Skills, Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and so on at the Training Ground, according to their needs.

It was worth mentioning that.

Various numbers of wild Soul Beasts lived in the Wilderness Zone. Xiao Yu had artificially created them all using the energy left behind when Soul Beasts died.

The oldest were ten thousand years old. Killing them could increase the age of a Soul Ring. It was also the most expensive of the facilities, with tiered pricing for Soul Masters of different levels.

"Master, you're here."

The moment Xiang Bei entered, Xiao Yu quickly appeared and automatically took charge of his request.

"Are you here to increase the age of your Soul Rings this time? Because of the time constraint, I only recovered seventy percent of the Soul Beasts that died on the battlefield last time. The remaining thirty percent were too young, and their remnants dissipated over time."

"Yes." Xiang Bei nodded. "This time, I want to raise the age of my Soul Rings to the current limit of what my body can bear."

"Oh, right. How are the detailed fees and the exchange rate for Virtual Currency coming along?"

As he finished speaking.

Xiao Yu's figure flickered for a moment. Xiang Bei could clearly tell that she had become livelier and seemed perfectly at ease. He could even see every detail of every strand of hair on her head.

"Hello, Master. The Satellite has reached orbit above the Sun Moon Empire, and I've formally established contact with this side. Would you like me to contact Hall Master Hongchen?"

Xiang Bei understood. The one speaking now was Xiao Yu herself. From the looks of it, her computing power had increased considerably during his absence.

Just this lifelike appearance alone probably consumed a great deal of computing power. Before, it would have been utterly impossible.

"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, Xiang Bei said, "Tell Hall Master Hongchen what happened here. Only mention the Azure Luan Communicator, just enough to give him an idea of the situation."

"Yes, Master."

"By the way, how's that guy Huo Yuhao doing at Mingde Hall?"

At that, Xiao Yu looked as though she wanted to laugh.

"That kid can't stay out of trouble either. He's been stirring up storms in Mingde Hall every day. When Du Busi, the Body Sect's sect master, invaded Mingde Hall a while ago, he took the opportunity to make off with quite a lot of its rare metals.

"He also took a prototype Humanoid Soul Tool that was being developed in secret. I was doing everything I could to hold Du Busi back at the time, and I ignored him as you instructed before you left. They were just rare metals we couldn't use and outdated Soul Tool technology, so I let him have them."

"He acted as though he knew nothing, but little did he know, I saw everything he did."

Xiao Yu's smile turned somewhat sly.

Just as I thought, Xiang Bei mused.

The Star Luo Empire had schemed to put the Snow Empress Embryo up for sale, then persuaded the Body Sect to try to seize it back afterward.

But he'd already intercepted the embryo, so their efforts were destined to come to nothing.

"In a little while, a batch of Azure Luan Communicators will be shipped to the Sun Moon Empire. Remember to set two aside for Huo Yuhao."

"Understood, Master. Oh, and regarding the Virtual Currency exchange rate, I've compiled data on every country on the continent. The final rate is one Silver Soul Coin for one Virtual Currency.

"Using the purchasing power of a Silver Soul Coin, we'll determine the exchange rates for special resources in each country. According to my calculations, once it's rolled out, resource exchange alone can earn us over ten million Gold Soul Coins in the initial stage."
