I was going to lead a team to the southeast.
Xie Yi came over to take charge of the military camp, handling daily management and personnel deployment.
I handed him the personnel roster and the remote controls, teaching him how to use the three remotes. I told him that the doctor might arrive at the camp within the next day or two. When he did, Xie Yi should have him study the remotes and see whether he could create a universal remote.

They could even become a massive force capable of speaking on equal terms with any transcendent power in this world. Xiaobai, it's enough for you to know about this. Don't tell anyone else. I won't tell anyone either. I won't even report this to Old Shu and the others. It's not that I don't trust Old Shu, but there are people above him.

"But there's one thing. I hope you use this power wisely.
