Rain Sand Taiji
"Young master, don't let the dilapidated appearance of this house fool you. Two hundred years ago, a Top Scholar emerged from this house. The current prefect, Lin Boyi, is a descendant of that Top Scholar!" There were no brokers in the small town, so this eloquent man was the manager of the Bu family, named Wang Gang.
Yang Ning laughed and said, "What is a prefectural magistrate? I've only heard of county magistrates and prefectural governors. Is a prefectural magistrate simply the chief clerk of a prefectural governor?"
Wang Gang was taken aback. I was thinking that the county magistrate was called the county magistrate, but it turns out that the prefectural governor is not called the prefectural governor, but the governor!
He laughed heartily, "Then I must have misremembered, but I'm not lying! Look at this tree, it was planted by the top scholar himself before Top Scholar left home, and it's already dozens of feet tall!"
But it's just a locust tree, only 42 years old.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me how much this house costs!"
"Uh!" Wang Gang wasn't embarrassed at all, and pulled out four fingers. "No bargaining, 40 taels!"
"Not bad!" One coin could buy two cakes, which was roughly equivalent to one yuan in modern times.
One tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins, so 40 taels of silver is forty thousand coins.
In a small town, buying a courtyard house with three courtyards and three entrances, totaling 400 square meters, is a bit expensive, but not too bad.
There were no offices in the town; once the two people signed the contract and a guarantor put their fingerprint on it, the house belonged to Yang Ning.
"Mochou, pay up!" Yang Ning said.
"Yes!" Xiao Huan struggled to lift the package and open it, and Wang Gang next to her immediately narrowed his eyes.
It turned out that the package contained more than a dozen gold ingots and dozens of silver ingots!
"Here you go!" Xiao Huan found a silver ingot, cut off two-thirds of it, and handed it to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang immediately felt that he had sold it too cheaply, but since the contract was already signed, he couldn't go back, so he could only leave with a resentful look on his face.
"Are we going to live here from now on?" Yuanxi looked around the empty room with some curiosity. "So this is what the mortal world is like!"
Yang Ning nodded, flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept through the entire house, inside and out, before he began taking things out.
A liquid resembling mercury, a full meter in diameter, lay on the ground like a metallic slime.
The liquid, once placed on the ground, seeped into the cracks in the floor tiles like mercury spilling onto the ground, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.
But the floor tiles beneath their feet became clearer and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were being cleaned with a high-pressure water jet.
"This Rain Sand, no matter how many times I see it, it will always amaze me!" Yuanxi exclaimed, looking at the house that was being transformed at an extremely fast pace. She knew that this was not just a repair; the Nanorobot could devour any material and replicate themselves, spreading out while also laying a protective film on the house.
The houses may appear to be just cleaner than before, but their sturdiness has actually improved by hundreds of levels!
Yang Ning smiled but remained silent.
Rain Sand is a Spirit Artifact, but it is not actually made of Spirit Materials, so it is a fake Spirit Artifact.
However, its function is in no way inferior to any Spirit Artifact, and it even surpasses many treasure artifacts in terms of convenience.
Because this is a Nanorobot!
Since the birth of the first generation of Bacteriophage Robot, Yang Ning has been upgrading and modifying the robots.
There are generally two directions to choose from in the development of robots.
One direction is towards development towards height, size, and robustness, such as the robots in Pacific Rim.
However, such robots would be mere sitting ducks in front of immortals, and they would be easily exposed. Although Yang Ning had the technology, he did not manufacture them.
Another branch is developing towards versatility, miniaturization, and nanotechnology.
Early liquid metal robots, later Iron Man's Nanorobot, and the robots of the day the Earth stopped spinning are all products of this concept.
Yang Ning is also a staunch supporter of this idea, since the development of natural physics has always progressed from the macroscopic to the microscopic.
Yang Ning upgraded and miniaturized the Bacteriophage Robot, and drew inspiration from the shape of a falcon to design a robot that is only 40 nanometers long.
The newly created Nanorobot were not performing well; they were too weak to chew through metal, had slow replication speed, and slow flight speed, among other problems.
Yang Ning's target, however, is the indestructible, all-consuming Nanorobot of the day when the Earth stops rotating!
Left with no other choice, Yang Ning could only inject the Lawful Nightmare Power into this robot, causing it to exceed its limits.
Only after reaching superlimits did the Nanorobot possess some of the grandeur of alien creations. They could fly at speeds up to 12 times the speed of sound, devour all natural minerals and most Spirit Materials, and combine into any shape.
Yang Ning also inscribed 64 rune circuits on each Nanorobot, which, when combined, could unleash all currently known runic spells.
These Nanorobot excel at offense, defense, object mimicry, and engineering construction. They can also form nano-armor to wear, making them faster, stronger, and more versatile than Iron Man's.
If it weren't for the existence of cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm, Yang Ning would already be able to begin ruling the world.
In addition to this Nanorobot, Yang Ning also constructed another type of Nanorobot using carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. As for the function of this Nanorobot...
The sky had just darkened when several uninvited guests arrived at the gate of the Yang residence. Without saying a word, they climbed over the courtyard wall and entered!
The group of six, all dressed in black and carrying swords, had fierce expressions.
"A family of three. Kill the man, but keep the two women; the master needs them!"
"Yes!"
The six of them carefully crossed the courtyard, climbed the steps, and arrived at the door of the house.
The leader shook his head in acknowledgment, but no one else moved.
"What? Go ahead and do what? Do you expect me to open the door?" He immediately became angry.
Turning my head, I saw my five companions standing like stone statues, in a forward-moving posture, completely motionless!
The man immediately felt a chill rise from his tailbone and rush to his forehead.
What, what's going on?
The next second, he finally realized what had happened.
Because he can't move anymore!
After a while, the six of them returned to their starting point, the gate of a magnificent manor, in neat steps.
"Was it all right?!" A short, stout middle-aged man with a somewhat comical tone stood in the doorway. Upon seeing the six people, he immediately approached them. "You guys better not embezzle any of the money! I've seen that money; I know how much it is!"
It was none other than Wang Gang, the man who sold the house to Yang Ning during the day.
The man in black, without saying a word, simply pulled a syringe from his pocket and inserted it directly into Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was startled and tried to dodge, but the man in black beside him reacted quickly and subdued him.
Less than 10 seconds after the substance in the syringe was injected into Wang Gang's body, Wang Gang's eyes changed.
The seven people remained silent and gently pushed open the door.
The two gatekeepers were fast asleep on the ground when the man in black took out two syringes and gave each of them an injection.
The group split into nine teams, each heading in a different direction. Along the way, they didn't miss a single person—patrolling soldiers, maids, cooks, or young masters and ladies getting up in the middle of the night!
Ten seconds after being injected, the eyes of each person change, and they then gain the ability to conjure syringes out of thin air and go on to inject more people.
Most people are completely unguarded around people they know well. Even if someone reacts quickly and senses something is wrong, they can be taken down instantly!
Despite being a frail little maid, after gaining something inside her body, she suddenly became sharp-eyed, agile, and swift in her movements, displaying perfect control and grace, just like a martial arts master!
This is the martial arts Nanorobot Tai Chi developed by Yang Ning!
After entering the human body, some of the Tai Nanorobot spread throughout the body via blood vessels, while others enter the brain, stopping in the frontal lobe. They then disguise themselves as proteins in the serum, cutting off information transmission from the brain while receiving information from Deep Blue and sending signals to the body on behalf of the brain, turning a normal person into Deep Blue's puppet.
Deep Blue's inherent computing power and insight can naturally transform an ordinary mortal into a martial arts master in an instant.
While her muscle mass, strength, and cellular resilience may be far inferior to that of a martial arts novice who has trained for months or even days, her combat skills are undoubtedly far superior!
Of course, this method of depriving people of their humanity and turning them into puppets is a very immoral act.
Therefore, Yang Ning doesn't turn just anyone into a puppet. He only permanently transforms those who deserve their punishment. Many maids and servants who have done nothing wrong are only temporarily transformed, and after tonight they will forget this memory and act as if nothing happened.
Yang Ning wouldn't compensate them either, because the Taiji Robot itself is the greatest compensation. It can coordinate the human endocrine system, emit ultrasonic waves to passively temper the human body, kill bacteria and cells that enter the body to ensure the body is free from disease and disaster. If the person is beaten or injured, it can also make the wound heal quickly!
If this person embarks on the path of cultivation, he will find that his cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds, and if he has enough resources, he may even surpass Yang Ning in his prime!
After all, Yang Ning didn't have this when he was cultivating!
Of course, the benefits of Tai Chi go beyond this.
Yang Ning drew inspiration from RNA viruses for its synthesis mechanism, which allows it to self-replicate inside cells, then enter the lungs, and finally be exhaled.
If there are people nearby, Tai Chi will be inhaled into their bodies and then begin a new round of replication and evolution among those people.
In other words, the six people who left Yang Ning's residence were six pathogens.
Of course, since Tai Chi is beneficial and harmless to people, it would be more appropriate to say that they are super gene carriers.
