"Have the Gene Testing Device prepared and delivered to the rooftop of the building ahead of time. Get it ready for testing."

Li Yang watched the message arrive through the communicator he had just activated, and a smile flashed across his lips. The moment the communicator came online, a message had come from the other side. That meant the two slaves had been waiting attentively for his instructions. As soon as the connection went through, they had immediately begun communicating with him, which put him in a good mood.

Understood, Master!

The voice of the female slave, Chang Yanyan, came through the communicator. Li Yang nodded in satisfaction, then swept his gaze around the Supercomputer "to1" stored inside the Gold Shop. He suppressed his anticipation for something like the Genetic Potion and took a USB drive from his pocket.

Although these evolutionary items that acted directly on the body were more thrilling than technology, the preparations that needed to be made still had to be made first.

Over the past few days, he had studied the operating methods and precautions for this world's top-tier 2071 Supercomputer to1 every night before bed. He had also studied the maintenance and manufacture of the Exoskeleton Armor in greater depth.

In the end, through his constant studying, he had successfully learned how to operate these supercomputers, as well as how to maintain and manufacture the homemade basic Exoskeleton Armor made by the female slave, Chang Yanyan.

Although there were many things he understood without knowing why, Li Yang felt that as long as he was given the corresponding materials, he could now make one himself.

Of course, that depended on being given enough materials. In other words, he could assemble one himself according to its components now.

But as for how the components themselves were made, he had no idea at all...

Even so, Li Yang was very satisfied with his learning progress. It meant that he had begun to grasp the basic knowledge of this world and could start putting it to use.

The Supercomputer before him was one example.

"I hope I can get something out of this."

A smile flashed across Li Yang's lips. He connected the 5 TB external hard drive he had purchased in the Real World to the adapter socket sent over by the female slave, Chang Yanyan, via drone, then plugged it into the Supercomputer he had been using to practice and study.

The dedicated power switch beside it was already on. When Li Yang clicked a switch on the table in front of him, a clear light screen immediately projected into the air before his eyes.

Information in various categories floated before him like planets. Li Yang silently transferred several compressed folders to his own hard drive one after another.

The contents were clear at a glance. They included every hit novel from 2023 to 2071 in this world; hit films and television shows, along with their production methods; and thirty hit games of various types.

He had found resources for all of these himself and downloaded them after operating this Supercomputer to connect to the world's network.

Their purpose was obvious—to make money.

Not every novel, film, television show, or game would necessarily become a hit again after being brought to Earth, but with so many excellent things from this world, at least one of them would surely catch fire.

If two more became hits, he would have even more money.

With more money, before he had grown strong enough, he would have greater confidence in the Real World and more room to maneuver in all sorts of matters.

The files Li Yang transferred contained more than just the finished products. They also included their detailed production processes. With these things, even if Li Yang worked on them himself in the future, he could slowly recreate all these games.

In particular, there was one important thing—the elementary Artificial Intelligence system of this world.

Should the pure version of the elementary Artificial Intelligence Xiao Ka be transferred to this storage device?

Li Yang clicked confirm on the transfer. He watched the progress bar on the projected display slowly reach the end, then pulled out the hard drive and smiled.

"Besides that, there's also..."

Li Yang replaced it with a new hard drive and set his eyes on the screen's first-generation battery iteration technology—2035. His heart stirred, and he silently loaded it onto the hard drive he was carrying.

After finishing all this, Li Yang put away the labeled hard drive. With a thought, he returned to the Real World and carefully stored it inside the large safe.

Looking into the safe, he saw that it already contained many stacks of paper documents, divided into more than ten piles. Now there was also a package filled with hard drives.

After checking that nothing was wrong, Li Yang locked the safe door. He then wrapped a thick iron chain around the safe and locked it as well, before carefully placing the key inside his backpack.

"Whew~"

Li Yang stretched and smiled at the safe. These were all the capital with which he would make his start in the Real World.

Next... was his own evolution!

"Genetic Potion."

A spark flashed through Li Yang's eyes. He swiftly stripped off all his clothes, opened another backpack on the floor, and took out the breathable skintight suit he had specially purchased earlier.

After changing into the skintight suit, he opened the Exoskeleton Armor case. Once he had put it on snugly, he activated the power and moved his limbs around, nodding with considerable satisfaction.

In the next moment, his figure blurred, and Li Yang appeared in the Apocalyptic World.

"Yu Dong, did you bring the Micro Smart Brain I asked for?"

After arriving in the Apocalyptic World, Li Yang tapped the communicator with his finger. His eyes flickered as he switched it on, then suddenly spoke to Yu Dong.

Ah, Master, forgive me. I'll go back and get it now.

"Mm, go get it. Tell Chang Yanyan to hurry. Change the destination to the rooftop of a building one kilometer beyond the original destination. I've already sent her the coordinates. Once you have the item, just ask her for the location."

Li Yang gave the order calmly. He began putting the Mingguang Armor on over the Exoskeleton Armor while watching the drone's surveillance feed. After seeing Yu Dong respond on the video, he watched him turn and fly back.

Whenever he did anything, he had to bring a drone and make sure its field of vision covered both of them. That was Li Yang's second requirement.

Master, I'm Chang Yanyan. I've already reached the rooftop of the destination building.

Chang Yanyan's voice came through the communicator. A smile flashed across Li Yang's lips, and at that exact moment, he had already finished putting on the armor.

He turned the Exoskeleton Armor's power all the way up. The armor on his body felt as light as paper. He secured the two tubes of potion close to his body, then immediately took up the repeating crossbow, slung the Miao Dao over his shoulder, and strode toward the rooftop.

"Once you get there, set up the device first. Master will be there in a moment."

With the Exoskeleton Armor beneath him, Li Yang was light as a swallow and moved swiftly to the rooftop. He followed with a running start and instantly leaped onto the rooftop of a building eight meters away. After landing, a relaxed smile flashed across his lips, and he continued running toward the next rooftop.

With the World Gate that allowed him to travel between worlds at any time in hand, he was not worried about falling at all. With no pressure in his heart, he naturally adapted to this kind of movement at lightning speed.

Perhaps because the population was too large, the buildings in this world were packed extremely densely together. With the powerful assistance of the Exoskeleton Armor, crossing these rooftops was as easy as walking on level ground.

Even wearing forty kilograms of armor, he still moved across the rooftops with swift, sure steps. In only a minute or two, Li Yang reached the rooftop ahead without a single mishap and saw a woman standing there.

Beside her stood a machine as tall as a person, a removed Exoskeleton Armor, and a drone held up by the Exoskeleton Armor's hand, aimed at her as it filmed.

"Bang."

Li Yang leaped and crashed heavily onto the rooftop. The Exoskeleton Armor absorbed the impact, leaving him completely unaffected. He stood upright on the rooftop as usual, his eyes blazing as he stared at the woman ahead and the machine she was adjusting.

"Master!"

The woman wearing the Slave Collar had sensed her master's approach long ago. Once Li Yang landed, she stopped adjusting the machine. A seductive look appeared on her face as she turned, knelt on the ground, raised her hips, and saluted him.
