From Now On, Just Call Me Xiao Xuan. / The Villagers Have Shared Nuclear Fusion Technology with You...

Ling Xi: "???"

Holy crap, is this what a money-grubber is like? Even in this day and age, he still can't stop thinking about making money.

"Ahem, Cangxuan, do we really need to do this?"

Ling Xi looked at her little Cangxuan Xuan with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and said with a smile, "We don't lack anything now, so why would we need to exploit primitive humans? Besides, human productivity and resources are very limited now, so even if we tried, we wouldn't get much."

"Tch, what do you know?"

Cangxuan pursed his lips and laughed, "For me, how much money I can earn doesn't matter. The main thing is to enjoy the process of making money. Don't you find it enjoyable?"

I don't think so.

Ling Xi shrugged and laughed, "Compared to making money slowly, I still prefer the process of getting rich overnight. I'm just waiting for someone to come to me and say that my ancestors were a certain royal family and that I have hundreds of billions of dollars in inheritance to inherit. That kind of explosive growth."

"Tch, tasteless..."

Cangxuan looked disgusted, then continued picking up seashells.

"Ling Xi".

Suddenly, Cangxuan spoke again, saying to Ling Xi, "I think this beach will definitely become a permanent home for humanity in the future, and it has the conditions to form a natural harbor, so... I believe that in the future, this place can definitely become a large city with tens of millions of people like Canghai City."

"I think so too."

Ling Xi agreed, because according to the satellite map, this place is the future Pig Sauce Delta, except that it is currently a sea area and has not yet formed land.

However, this place is bound to become an extremely prosperous metropolis in the future.

"It seems we share the same vision, so..."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you know what we should do next?"

After a moment's thought, Ling Xi said, "Protect this place well and prevent alien races and Honkai Beast from invading."

Cangxuan "..."

"Fool..."

Cangxuan rubbed his forehead and said irritably, "Our next step... is, of course, to buy this place. While there's no one here yet and the economic value isn't high, let's buy this land, and that way..."

Cangxuan's eyes gleamed again. "In the future, we'll definitely never lack money. We might even... establish our own kingdom here... Well, never mind, since if we establish a kingdom, the Honkai will use us as a target for civilization level assessment..."

"However, we can still buy this place, so we won't have to worry about money in the future."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't I just say? I don't lack supplies right now, what would I need money for?"

"That just means we don't need money now, but we won't need it in the future either."

Cangxuan curled his lip and snorted, "Think about it, in the future, especially in the modern era, are we going to live off your supplies forever? If you don't have money, what if I want to buy some food or a bag in the future? Who am I supposed to ask for it? Also, what if we get sick or have a baby? How are we supposed to see a doctor if we don't have money?"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi found herself unable to refute it. Thinking about it, it made sense. Although money was indeed useless in this era, it would be very useful in the future, not to mention the modern era, even in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Therefore, Cangxuan's concerns were not entirely unfounded.

Chapter 510: From now on, just call me Little Xuan.

"Okay, you have a point."

In the end, Ling Xi was persuaded by Cangxuan, but she still asked with a smile, "However, isn't it a bit too early for us to start saving money now? This place is currently unclaimed land, so who are we going to buy it from? And..."

Ling Xi stroked his chin slightly and said, "According to the history of my parallel world, it would take at least five thousand years for humanity to go from this era to the information age, going through dozens of dynasties, large and small. And this land, we might just buy it today, and the dynasty might be overthrown tomorrow, and then the land would be taken back."

"Hmm, that is a problem..."

Cangxuan also began to ponder deeply. Although with Ling Xi and Hua around, they could completely flatten this world, but...

Unless absolutely necessary, we, as pioneers, should try to avoid having too much contact with humans, as this would affect human development.

"Unfortunately, I can only buy it in the future."

Finally, Cangxuan looked regretful, then continued collecting seashells, laughing, "Let's collect more seashells, and then in a thousand or two, we'll collect an antique and put it in our cave. In the future, we can become billionaires by selling antiques."

Although he could no longer get rich by speculating on real estate, Cangxuan immediately thought of other ways. Moreover, given his current situation, there were at least a hundred ways to become rich in the future, but it was unnecessary.

After all, over the course of thousands of years, I must have tried to make money to some extent, so...

Let's take it slow, there are still several thousand years to go.

Ling Xi: "..." What a die-hard money-grubber...

"Hey, Ling Xi, I'm hungry."

After collecting seashells for a while, it was already noon, and Cangxuan felt hungry.

What would you like to eat?

Ling Xi decisively took out a parasol, then arranged the table and chairs, preparing to have a picnic by the sea with Cangxuan.

"Let's have a barbecue."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "I think this place is perfect for a barbecue. By the way, Ling Xi..."

Cangxuan suddenly leaned over and hugged Ling Xi's arm, laughing, "Ling Xi, I want to eat king crab. Can you go to the sea and catch two for me?"

"Puff..."

Ling Xi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood and said irritably, "First of all, king crabs live in cold waters, such as the North Pacific. Secondly, king crabs live at depths of about 900 meters. How am I supposed to catch them for you?"

"Huh? Really?"

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "But... why do I see videos where king crabs are caught on the beach? And on tropical beaches at that."

Ling Xi: "???"

Ling Xi couldn't help but ask, "Is there still tape on the king crab's claws?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Cangxuan deliberately feigned surprise.

Ling Xi: "..." Is this a video from a beachcombing streamer?!

"Alright, stop playing around. Even though we don't have king crabs, I can still catch some seafood for you."

Ling Xi took off her clothes and pants, leaving only her underwear, and prepared to go into the sea to take pictures... oops, to catch shrimp!

Wow... abs...

Cangxuan couldn't help but touch Ling Xi's lower abdomen.

Ling Xi "..."

Before long, Ling Xi brought back some marine life, but they were mostly shrimp and crabs, and all of them were ones that Ling Xi recognized. After all, Ling Xi wouldn't dare give Cangxuan anything unfamiliar.

On the beach, Cangxuan had already prepared the charcoal fire, and while Ling Xi was in the sea, she had also grilled some chicken wings and sausages, which were now ready to eat.

"Cheers."

"Mmm, cheers!"

The two men held their beers, clinked glasses lightly, and then enjoyed a bite of barbecue followed by a sip of beer – pure bliss.

"By the way, Ling Xi."

Suddenly, Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "From now on... you can call me Little Xuan."

"Puff..."

Ling Xi spat out a mouthful of wine. Luckily, she turned her head quickly enough, otherwise she would have sprayed Cangxuan's face with it.

"What? What's with your reaction?"

Seeing that Ling Xi actually spat out his words, Cangxuan was immediately annoyed. He had asked this guy to call him Little Xuan, which was a term of endearment, but... what did this guy mean by that?

"Ahem, sorry, I just..."

Ling Xi almost choked and said, "I'm just suddenly a little happy. After all... Little Xuan, doesn't that sound very intimate? It means that you like me very much, so I'm so happy that I choked."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

Cangxuan then revealed a satisfied smile.

Ling Xi "..."

However, Ling Xi wasn't spraying it out of excessive joy, but rather because... "Little Xuan" was the title the Immortal used for the Book of Cangxuan, and now that the Ancestor of Cangxuan had given it to herself, then...

What will the future Immortal call the Book of Cangxuan?

Um, wait a minute, in this timeline, Cangxuan and Danzhu should be able to survive, so perhaps the Book of Cangxuan isn't even needed, and other puppets can be made instead...

I quite like the nickname "Little Xuan".

"Then, Little Xuan?"

Ling Xi called out tentatively.

"Um?"

Cangxuan looked up at Ling Xi with a hint of curiosity, as if asking Ling Xi what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to try calling out."

Ling Xi simply smiled at Cangxuan. She had to admit, the city was quite pleasant to listen to.

"Snort..."

Cangxuan rolled his eyes at Ling Xi and chuckled, "By the way, since you call me Little Xuan, my sister will definitely be jealous, so..."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "When we get back, you can call her Little Zhu."

Ling Xi: "..." I seriously suspect that this is your real purpose in making me call you Little Xuan.

At the beach, the two enjoyed a barbecue and the sea breeze, finishing their sumptuous lunch. To be honest, Ling Xi thought the seafood he caught wasn't as good as the spicy crayfish from a street-side restaurant...

In the afternoon, Ling Xi accompanied Cangxuan for a stroll on the beach. Ling Xi, Ling Xi took out her tools and, under Cangxuan's arrangement, buried the civilization sphere she had made underground, waiting for future humans to discover it.

The Civilization Sphere is actually a spherical quantum computer made of Soul Steel, storing some of the knowledge from the Previous Era. This is because at least five thousand years have passed since then, and it's impossible for them to have retained all that knowledge for so long. Furthermore...

No one knows if any unforeseen events might occur during this time, preventing the knowledge from being passed on, so...

Cangxuan stored the knowledge of the Previous Era in batches within this spherical Soul Steel computer as the last guarantee for the inheritance of the knowledge of the Previous Era!

Over the next few days, Ling Xi accompanied Cangxuan across the entire land of Shenzhou, burying nine civilization spheres before finally piloting the spaceship home to prepare for assembling the Honkai Energy detection device...

Chapter 511: The villagers shared nuclear fusion technology with you...

During the few days that Ling Xi accompanied Cangxuan to bury the civilization sphere, the two also enjoyed sightseeing while working. If it were just the task of burying the sphere, it could probably be completed in a day or two at the speed of the spaceship, but...

Since we'll have to go to the place where we buried the sphere sooner or later, and the fuel consumption will be the same whether we go early or late, we might as well take the opportunity to travel around and enjoy the scenery instead of rushing home.

After all, after this, there probably won't be any more opportunities, and even if there are, it will probably be in the very distant future.

So, what should have been a one-day task turned into a week-long trip of sightseeing for the two of them. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them at home had already started eating instant noodles, Ling Xi would have liked to accompany Cangxuan a little longer.

Well, this could be considered a honeymoon, the only pity is that Danzhu wasn't brought along, which made it a bit difficult for Cangxuan to handle it alone...

In addition, during this week, the two also encountered some human tribes. Some of these tribes had already begun to form villages because they had received guidance from Cangxuan a few years ago. Ling Xi was very curious about one thing, which was...

What if one day a villager finds the Civilization Ball and hands it over to Guo Jia? Wouldn't that lead to...?

"Ling Xi, sister, you're finally back."

As the spaceship landed on the open ground in front of her house, Danzhu happily rushed over and hugged Cangxuan, saying with a joyful expression, "I've missed you so much after a week apart."

"I miss you too, Danzhu."

Ling Xi also pretended to hug Danzhu. To be honest, if the spaceship wasn't so small, Ling Xi really wanted to bring Danzhu along. Although she and Cangxuan had gotten along well this week, it felt a bit lonely without Danzhu, the chattering girl.

"Come on."

However, Danzhu just snorted unhappily, "If you missed me, then why didn't you take me with you in the first place?"
