Technical Inferiority, Permission to Demonstrate

The third floor of the Anti-Entropy Technology Tower was used to display various Soul Tools. Mo Yuan mainly felt that, as a high-tech enterprise, Anti-Entropy Technology would look rather unreasonable if it did not put out some technological products that demonstrated its capabilities.

So he simply set aside an entire floor to display some of the more "outdated" Soul Tools he had made in the past.

At that moment, A-01 was showing Gu Yuena and the other two around.

"Please take a look, ladies and gentlemen. This Soul Tool is a Level-7 Soul Tool." A-01 pointed at the cube-like object in the nearest glass display case and explained, "It is called the Gravity Amplification Regulator. It can adjust the gravitational field within a radius of one hundred meters, reaching up to ten times normal gravity. Its value in actual combat is not very high, but it is quite useful for training."

"And that Y-shaped Soul Tool is the Light-Element Particle Converter. It can temporarily convert the user's body structure into light elements, rendering them immune to physical attacks. It can also be used for high-speed movement..."

A-01 continued its half-hearted introduction.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie clicked their tongues in amazement. When had they ever seen such high technology?

The Soul Tools they usually came into contact with were generally Soul Tool streetlamps and Soul Tool cars. How could those compare to such high-end products?

Yet according to A-01, these things that were unquestionably high-tech in their eyes were being displayed here only because the Anti-Entropy leader considered them too outdated and had decided to exhibit them?

This left them utterly dumbfounded.

Gu Yuena was especially shaken. She had never imagined that human technology had already advanced to this extent.

After all, the ability to transform one's body into pure elemental matter could be considered an extremely advanced skill. Even human Soul Masters would hardly be able to obtain such a Soul Skill from a low-year Soul Ring.

Especially since, according to A-01, it apparently had no side effects!

Gu Yuena made up her mind. It seemed she absolutely had to meet this so-called Anti-Entropy leader. Since he could bring out such things for display, the technology in his hands was definitely even more advanced.

An existence of this level would most likely have a tremendous impact on her plans.

Thus, she could not help asking A-01, "So what exactly did your leader invite us here for?"

In her opinion, someone like the Anti-Entropy leader should not need the help of low-level Soul Masters like them.

It was just like how Di Tian would never seek out a ten-year Soul Beast alone, let alone come to it with such solemnity.

A blue light flickered in A-01's eyes, as if it were evaluating how it should answer.

"Authorization retrieval in progress. Beep—"

"Click—"

"All right, A-01, you can withdraw. I'll answer this question myself."

Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure walked straight in. At the same time, a clear, melodious voice rang out.

"Beep. Program correction." A-01 paused, then suddenly raised its right hand halfway as if it had received some order. In a ringing voice, it said, "Everyone, consider yourselves honored. Standing before you now is none other than the great Anti-Entropy leader, the youngest Level-9 Soul Engineer in history—"

"Stop!"

Mo Yuan's vision went dark, and he hurriedly interrupted A-01's mysterious performance.

"When did I ever program you to do this?"

He glanced at A-01. "Now, immediately, get out and move that pile of experimental equipment outside into the laboratory!"

"Yes!"

A-01 saluted and left.

After A-01's interruption, Mo Yuan felt a headache coming on. What was this supposed to be...

"Um..."

"Big brother!"

The next moment, a silver figure shot into Mo Yuan's arms with astonishing speed.

Mo Yuan instinctively caught the girl in his arms. She had buried her head against his chest and was sobbing quietly. Before long, he felt the front of his shirt grow damp.

"Wuwu, big brother, I missed you so much..."

"Ah..."

Mo Yuan was speechless. All the words in his heart turned into that single sigh. Though he did not really understand how things had become like this, he still comforted her. "It's all right, Na'er. Big brother has always been here..."

As he patted the girl's back, he looked up at Tang Wulin.

"Wulin, it's been a long time. You've grown taller again. I knew you would come."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin scratched his head awkwardly. "Big Brother Mo Yuan, I never expected Anti-Entropy Technology to be your company. I originally planned to earn some money to repay what I owed you, but now that I see this, it seems..."

"That's not a problem. I need to spend money recruiting people anyway. You can come work for me directly, and I'll use your salary to offset your debt."

"Oh, oh..."

Tang Wulin nodded, then furtively glanced at Gu Yuena, who was still sobbing.

She had just called Big Brother Mo Yuan "big brother," so were they relatives?

"All right, Na'er was adopted by my family. You could say she's my younger sister. We haven't seen each other in quite some time."

Mo Yuan said this casually, then gently patted Na'er on the shoulder. "Aren't you going to get up? Someone's been watching this whole time."

Hearing this, Na'er reluctantly rose from Mo Yuan's arms, but she still clung tightly to one of his arms.

Fine. If she wanted to hold on, then let her. It would not affect anything.

He waved his hand, and three luxurious sofas appeared out of thin air. He gestured for Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to sit down, then sat down with Na'er himself.

"As you can see, Anti-Entropy Technology is indeed the company I founded. It is used to research or promote various technological products. My recent research topic is how to accelerate the cultivation speed of low-level Soul Masters and, going a step further, how to allow ordinary people who failed to awaken Soul Power to embark on an extraordinary path different from that of Soul Masters."

"What?"

After hearing Mo Yuan's words, Xie Xie immediately cried out in surprise.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan said nothing. After all, he was merely an ignorant child.

"So I intend to cooperate with Eastsea Academy. The students there are generally low-level, and it just so happens that you've come here. So, are you willing to participate in the experiment? Of course, I'll provide a generous payment."

"I'm willing!"

Mo Yuan had not even finished speaking when Tang Wulin shot to his feet.

Xie Xie was instantly dumbfounded.

Brother, how did you agree so quickly? What if they're tricking you into signing a slave contract?

He glanced again at Gu Yuena, who was still holding onto Mo Yuan's arm.

So I'm the only outsider here?

Damn...

There was nothing he could do. Tang Wulin had already agreed, so what else could he say? Besides, he wanted to see whether what the other party had said was true. After all, which Soul Master could refuse the chance to cultivate faster?

"I'm willing to participate too."

"Very well. Since both of you are willing to participate, go back and wait for further notice. It'll be the same number as before. Someone will contact you when necessary."

Mo Yuan nodded and immediately began seeing them out.

A robot promptly entered and led the two away.

The door closed, and Mo Yuan then turned to Na'er.

"Now that the people in the way are gone, let's talk about our business..."

"What should I call you now?"

"Na'er... or... the Silver Dragon King?"
