Sun Moon Empire Imperial City, Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
This is the most upscale restaurant in the city, and it is also the favorite gathering place for the Sun Moon Empire dignitaries.
There are nine floors in the restaurant, and each floor is equipped with different levels of soul guidance facilities. The topmost private room is even equipped with a soundproof array, an anti-peeping barrier, and a soul guidance kitchen with automatic cooking.
Su Yun walked into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion with three beauties and asked for the top Imperial Private Room without hesitation.
"Sir, the cost of Imperial Private Room for one night is one thousand Purple Gold Soul Coin..."
The waiter at the front desk looked at Su Yun with some embarrassment.
One thousand Purple Gold Soul Coin is equivalent to ten years of income of an average family in the Sun Moon Empire.
Su Yun didn't even raise his eyelids and threw out a gold card.
"Is that enough?"
The waiter took the gold card and scanned it with verification Soul Tool. He almost fell out from behind the counter.
"Distinguished... distinguished guest! Please, please go upstairs! I will arrange the best service for you immediately!"
The balance in that gold card is enough to buy the entire Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Su Yun took the three girls to the ninth floor and sat down in an outrageously luxurious box.
While he was enjoying the top-notch dishes, he used his mental power to lock his eyes on a red-haired figure downstairs who was debating whether to follow him or not.
"Su Yun brother, what are you laughing at all the time?"
Xiao Wu asked vaguely with a piece of Dragon Liver Pastry stuffed in his mouth.
"There's a little kitten wandering downstairs."
Su Yun The corners of the mouth are slightly hooked.
"Brother plans to tease her."
He casually took out Diary and wrote a few lines on it.
Then, he did something that shocked the entire system.
He took the initiative to open the license rights of Diary Copy to Ju Zi downstairs.
[Ding! The host actively opens the Diary Copy license to non-travel targets, confirm?]
[Confirm.]
[Copy permission has been opened. Target Ju Zi will receive Diary Copy in three seconds.]
Downstairs, Heavenly Mystery Pavilion corner of the hall.
Ju Zi was holding a cup of cold tea, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window, but in fact all his attention was focused on the direction of the ninth floor.
She is one of the Sun Moon Empire's top espionage agents, and tracking and surveillance are her specialty.
But for some reason, she always felt that the young man in white seemed to be smiling all the time.
She laughed so hard that she felt a little guilty.
"No way."
Ju Zi shook his head and comforted himself.
"My stealth skills are the best in the empire, and it is impossible for an outsider to discover me."
At this moment, there was a sudden burning sensation in her arms.
Ju Zi lowered her head suddenly, only to see a black notebook with golden text on the cover, which appeared in her underwear pocket at some point.
"What?!"
Ju Zi's pupils suddenly shrank, and his first reaction was Hidden Weapon or the tracker.
But her mental power detection did not find any Soul Power fluctuations, and the book seemed to appear out of thin air.
After hesitating for a moment, Ju Zi took out the notebook.
The cover clearly says <Su Yun's Diary>.
"Su Yun?"
Ju Zi frowned.
She had never heard of this name.
But since it appeared on her, it must be related to the boy in white upstairs.
Professionalism drove her to turn the first page.
[On X, month, X, year, weather: Sun Moon Continent has really heavy smog.]
[I was followed as soon as I arrived at the Sun Moon Empire. The stalker was a red-haired girl, wearing Mechanical Armor, Soul Guidance Pistol on her waist, and a pair of Mechanical Wings behind her back.]
[It looks cool, but... the tracking technology is a bit lame.]
[Brother discovered her at the pier, but she actually followed her all the way to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion before she even realized she was exposed.]
[If this was a spy in the Spirit Hall, he would have been captured by Ghost Douluo and fed to spiders.]
Ju Zi's face turned pale instantly.
She was discovered?!
Discovered right from the dock?!
Impossible! Her concealment Soul Tool is the most advanced model in the empire! Even the nine-ring Soul Douluo may not be able to detect her!
But the description in the diary is too precise - red hair, Mechanical Armor, Soul Guidance Pistol, Mechanical Wings.
Every detail is exact.
She continued to look down, her expression getting more and more ugly.
[But having said that, the identity of this young lady is quite interesting to me. Sun Moon Empire First Soul Engineer? Imperial Research Institute Vice dean?]
[Tsk tsk, if such talents can be recruited, the development of Spirit Guidance Technology can be advanced at least ten years.]
[And she looks quite pleasing to the eye. The tight-fitting armor makes her waist slender, and her legs are straight and long. With red hair and fair skin, she feels like the Douluo version of the Black Widow.]
Ju Zi's hands began to shake.
Not out of anger - well, a little bit.
Mainly because of fear.
Her true identity is the empire's top secret.
There are no more than five people in the entire empire who know that she is "Vice Principal Imperial Research Institute".
How did this outsider, whom he had never met, know?
"Who is this person...?"
Ju Zi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her professional instinct told her that this Su Yun was definitely not a kind person.
But there are further contents in the diary.
[Forget it, I won't play the cat-and-mouse game with her anymore.]
[The diary is now in her hands.]
[Little sister, if you are watching, let me tell you something.]
[Brother is not your enemy.]
[Brother comes to the Sun Moon Continent to do business. And you are the partner I want.]
[If you are interested, come up to the ninth floor now. I will buy you a cup of tea and let's chat.]
[Don't worry, I won't bite anyone.]
[At most... pinch your face.]
Ju Zi stared at the last line of words, his temples pounding.
Face pinching?
Is this person serious?
She is the strongest fighting type Soul Engineer in the empire, and she is not a little girl who can be manipulated by others!
But her reason told her that this Su Yun had too much information that she shouldn't know.
If his background is not known, it will be a huge security risk for the empire.
Ju Zi took a deep breath, put Diary in his arms, and stood up.
"Since you already know, there's no point in hiding it."
She adjusted the concealment device on her armor, turned it off, and then strode towards the stairs of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Ninth floor, Imperial Private Room.
The moment Ju Zi pushed open the box door, she was greeted by a pressure that made her scalp numb.
That's not suppression on Soul Power.
It is a kind of crushing from the level of life.
The young man in white standing in the center of the box was like a sun to her perception.
Hot, dazzling, and impossible to look directly at.
"Hey, here you come?"
Su Yun looked at Ju Zi at the door with a smile, holding a chicken leg in his hand.
"Sooner than brother expected. It seems that you are not only good-looking, but also courageous."
Ju Zi stood at the door, his eyes quickly scanning everything in the room.
Three stunning girls were sitting in different places, and the smell of each one made her feel frightened.
Especially that little loli with the different-colored eyes of ice and fire, the pressure she exuded was stronger than any Titled Douluo she had ever seen!
"Who the hell are you?"
Ju Zi got straight to the point, and his right hand had quietly touched Soul Guidance Pistol on his waist.
"Where did you get that information? What is your purpose?"
"There are too many questions."
Su Yun threw the chicken legs to Xiao Wu, then picked up the napkin and wiped his hands.
"Sit down and talk slowly."
He pointed to the empty seat opposite.
"Brother has already said that he is not your enemy. If we really want to take action, do you think you can run away?"
Ju Zi's body stiffened slightly.
She really felt that if this boy wanted to kill her, she wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
The feeling of oppression is too real.
Gritting his teeth, Ju Zi walked to the opposite side and sat down, but his body always maintained a vigilant posture.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Su Yun took out a drawing from his pocket and pushed it in front of Ju Zi.
"Do you recognize this?"
Ju Zi looked down and his pupils suddenly shrank.
That is a design drawing of Soul Tool.
But not just any Soul Tool.
What was painted on it was a cross-era product that she had never seen before, which was far beyond the current level of technology.
"This is...Space Folding Engine?"
Ju Zi's voice was trembling.
"How could you have such a thing? This kind of technology... even Imperial Research Institute is only in the theoretical stage!"
"Not only do I have the design drawings, but I also have a complete manufacturing plan."
Su Yun crossed his legs and spoke in an understatement.
"But I need someone to help me build it."
"And you are the one I chose."
Ju Zi raised his head and looked into Su Yun's eyes as deep as the stars.
She saw confidence, calmness, and a confident control over everything in those eyes.
"You want me to... help you make Space Folding Engine?"
"It's not just this."
Su Yun shook his head.
"What I want is for you to be my chief scientist."
"Help me build a complete set of Cross-Plane Teleportation System."
"In return..."
Su Yun took out a bottle of liquid that exuded nine colors of light from System Space.
"This is Martial Soul Purification Liquid. If you take it, your soul guidance talent can be increased tenfold."
"Your technical bottlenecks that have been stuck for several years can be broken through overnight."
Ju Zi stared at the bottle of liquid and his breathing became rapid.
As the top Soul Engineer in the empire, she is very aware of how difficult it is to break through the bottlenecks she encounters.
If those technical problems that had troubled her for many years could be solved overnight...
"The terms you offered are indeed very attractive."
Ju Zi Force yourself to calm down.
"But why should I trust you?"
"No need to believe."
Su Yun smiled.
"You just need to verify."
He pointed to the design drawing.
"If you can find any mistakes in this drawing, I will leave immediately without any further entanglement."
"But if you can't find the error..."
Su Yun The corners of his mouth rose.
"That shows that my strength is real."
"When the time comes, you can decide for yourself whether you want to cooperate with me or not."
Ju Zi was silent.
She lowered her head and began to examine the design drawing carefully.
The more she looked, the more shocked her expression became.
Those design ideas were not only perfect, but even exceeded her cognitive limits in many places.
Some theories she couldn't even understand.
Ten minutes later.
Ju Zi raised his head and looked at Su Yun with completely changed eyes.
From vigilance to shock.
From shock to... frenzy.
"This drawing... was designed by you?"
"Of course." Su Yun said lightly.
Ju Zi Take a deep breath and stand up.
Then, she made a move that even Su Yun didn't expect.
She knelt down on one knee.
"Ju Zi, real name Vermilion Bird, Sun Moon Empire first Soul Engineer."
"I would like to serve you."
Su Yun was stunned for a second, and then laughed out loud.
"Okay! Enjoy it!"
He took out Diary and wrote today's harvest on it.
[On the first day of the Sun Moon Continent, the number one Soul Engineer in the empire was successfully recruited.]
[Brother gives himself full marks for this efficiency.]
[Next, it's time to go to Imperial Research Institute to empty out their technology library.]
[With Ju Zi as the leading party, isn't this easy to do?]
[Hey, Sun Moon Empire's emperor never dreamed that the scientific and technological talents he relied on most had become my brother's people.]
[By the way, the system shows that Ju Zi's favorability has increased to 60.]
[Well, this speed is good.]
[But I'm not in a hurry to conquer her now. Let's get down to business first.]
[After all, technology is the primary productive force!]
Su Yun closed Diary, looked at Ju Zi kneeling in front of him, and waved his hand.
"Get up."
"From now on, you are the chief scientist of Spirit Hall Soul Guidance Research Institute."
"The annual salary is one million Purple Gold Soul Coin, plus a set of God-level Laboratory."
"How about it? It's much better than working for the empire, isn't it?"
Ju Zi stood up, his sharp eyes shining with unprecedented light.
"Your Excellency, no annual salary is required."
Her voice was firm.
"Having access to that level of technology is the biggest reward in itself."
"I have only one request."
"Say."
"Let me see how that...Karma Diary works."
Ju Zi's eyes are burning with the curiosity unique to scientists.
Su Yun smiled.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
"Let's go, take brother to your institute."
"Brother, I heard that there is a Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon there?"
"Brother wants to take it apart and take a look."
Ju Zi: "..."
Dismantle?
That is the treasure of the empire!
Are you sure you used such an understatement as "take it apart and look at it"?
