Chapter 193: Gu Yue Na: “thank You.”
Gu Yue Na slightly straightened her body, her silver long hair gently swaying, and picked up the thick stack of technical reports on the table.
The entire technical report was about over a thousand pages, which wasn’t too heavy for a Soul Master; with a little force, two fingers could easily pick it up.
But Gu Yue Na felt it was very heavy. She gently bit her lips, her gaze complex, realizing that the thing she had always desired might be right in her hands.
Huo Yuhao across from her acted completely indifferent, sipping coffee in small mouthfuls, casually admiring the appearances of the maids around, nodding from time to time.
The maids here were all real females, not Huo Yuhao’s Technology and Ruthlessness.
So Huo Yuhao admired them without any psychological burden; as for those in Xilu City, better not.
Customers unaware of the truth were fine, and due to the witch characteristics, every one of those maids had top-tier appearances and came with inherent seductive traits.
But those who knew the truth didn’t dare to admire their appearances closely, fearing issues with their own sexual orientation.
Seeing Gu Yue Na’s nervous expression, a smile appeared on Huo Yuhao’s face.
“Don’t just sit there, take a look.”
“For others, this is a confidential document, but you are the Enthusiasm Director stationed in Shrek City, so you are qualified to read it.”
“Anything you don’t understand inside, you can ask me.”
“I can explain it to you.”
Gu Yue Na nodded her small head heavily, her throat trembling slightly, then she opened the document.
The second page was a technical overview personally written by Roman, which surprised Gu Yue Na somewhat.
She knew Roman’s knowledge was vast, even including special Soul Skills like the ice-blue figure created with Soul Bones that she had seen before; she didn’t expect him to have contributed to this technology as well.
Gu Yue Na did not follow Huo Yuhao’s suggestion to directly look at the detailed overview on the last page.
She felt she wasn’t that dumb and should be able to understand this technology, right?
Soon, this technical report directly taught Gu Yue Na how to become a dragon.
After just reading two or three pages, she felt her head spinning; merely three pages, with mathematical reasoning taking up more than half, plus a bunch of images and transforms.
She didn’t understand most of the mathematical reasoning, like Fourier Transform or convolution theorem, Markov chain.
Knowledge entered her left ear and exited her right.
Even with computing power unmatched by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, she was helpless against this mathematical reasoning.
After all, she didn’t understand this knowledge at all; she had never seen these theorems and formulas, so no amount of computing power helped.
Strong Spiritual Power only meant strong computational ability, not high IQ.
Otherwise, Ilex and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wouldn’t have nearly been pissed off by the Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress had Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power; in terms of computing power, she was much stronger than the Golden Tortoise, but on exam scores, the Golden Tortoise crushed the Snow Empress.
Gu Yue Na swallowed, quickly flipping through the document, trying to find pages with less reasoning.
Then she discovered that pages with more text were discussing Soul Beast body structures and the preservation of soul, memory, and abilities during conversion to Soul Spirits.
This involved molecular biology, bioinformatics, genetics, Soulology.
Gu Yue Na had heard of this knowledge; the Enthusiasm Headquarters research institute offered these courses and had even invited her to study, but she refused.
At the time, she thought that knowledge was useless and she’d probably never need it in her life; she didn’t expect this boomerang to hit her face today.
She recognized every word here, but put together, she didn’t recognize them.
She even marvelled to discover that words could be arranged and combined like this! She just didn’t understand this combination.
Gu Yue Na’s slender, fair legs under the table trembled slightly, then parted and closed again; it looked like the entire dragon was sweating profusely.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao showed a gentle smile and said to this dumb dragon trying to show off:
“If you don’t understand, don’t force it.”
“Inside are the most cutting-edge knowledge sequences.”
“Biology and Soulology as the foundation, mathematics as the load-bearing pillar, mysticism and physics interwoven as the shell, even with some Soul Tool Knowledge as embellishments.”
“Soul Spirit Technology is the combined product of vast knowledge, a work of collaboration between me and the Enthusiasm research department.”
“Of course, I only contributed a tiny bit.”
Immediately after, Huo Yuhao made a finger gesture that could cause heartbreak in the Korean market.
Seeing this, Gu Yue Na sighed, her purple eyes somewhat unwilling, thinking to herself inwardly.
“Looks like I need to visit the Enthusiasm Headquarters research department in the future.”
“Some knowledge still needs to be learned!”
“I absolutely cannot become a dragon without knowledge!”
“Otherwise, even with the technology right in front of me, I can’t understand it.”
Gu Yue Na gave up on grinding through it and followed Huo Yuhao’s suggestion, directly flipping to the last page.
This page was also written by Roman, an overview of the entire Soul Spirit Technology, written in simple and easy-to-understand language, a kindergarten version prepared specifically for laypeople.
With her powerful Spiritual Power, Gu Yue Na quickly finished reading the entire technical overview; the novel concepts and brand-new system made her purple eyes widen suddenly.
She could hardly believe what she had read, rereading it several times, even using Spiritual Power to record the entire text.
Gu Yue Na’s slender fingers subconsciously wanted to grip the report paper tightly, but she suddenly placed her hand on her dress; she didn’t want this technical report damaged in the slightest.
Her beautiful and mysterious purple eyes now shimmered faintly; the once bleak future for Soul Beasts suddenly had new hope.
Seeing she had finished reading, Huo Yuhao smiled at Gu Yue Na, his voice gentle.
“How is it?”
“Any questions?”
“You can say them.”
“I can explain for you.”
“The original proposer of Soul Spirit Technology is me; I’m confident no one understands Soul Spirits better than I do!”
Huo Yuhao’s face showed confidence as he pulled an accordion with his palm, looking just like a grand commander.
His confident yet somewhat comical figure reflected in Gu Yue Na’s eyes; she pursed her lips slightly, then asked:
“What do Soul Spirit Contract and Contract Dissolution mean?”
“Can you explain in detail?”
Huo Yuhao took a sip of coffee and said to her:
“As expected of my secretary!”
“One question and you hit the key point!”
“Contract and Contract Dissolution are the most critical technologies in the entire Soul Spirit Technology!”
“The current Soul Rings in the Soul Master world, if deconstructed with Soulology, are a kind of contract, albeit an extremely domineering one.”
“Compared to a contract, I’d rather call it a plunder agreement.”
“An agreement that plunders Soul Beasts’ power or even souls.”
“The advantages of Soul Rings are obvious: simple and crude, quickly boosting power.”
“The downside is inability to unleash all of the Soul Beast’s original power.”
“During fusion, most of the Soul Beast’s power and bloodline is wasted.”
“Only a small portion of energy and bloodline forms the Soul Ring to help the Soul Master break through.”
“But Soul Spirit Contracts are different; when a Soul Master and Soul Beast form a contract, the Soul Beast enters the Soul Master’s Sea of Consciousness as a soul in Soul Spirit state.”
“Soul Spirits retain the Soul Beast’s most authentic power.”
“They can even provide the Soul Master with multiple Soul Rings, as the power is fully preserved and can occupy multiple Soul Ring positions.”
“In a sense, this weakens the Soul Master.”
“So I adjusted the Soul Spirit Contract to ensure that during fusion, the Soul Beast communicates with the Soul Master’s Origin.”
“The resulting Soul Skills will surely combine the best traits of the Martial Soul and Soul Beast.”
“Because they remain in a conscious will state, if the Soul Master and Soul Spirit unite their wills, they can influence the Soul Skill, creating even stronger variant Soul Skills.”
“This is my reinforcement to Soul Spirit Technology.”
“With the advantage that Soul Spirits paired with Soul Masters can fight together, the Soul Spirit system can completely replace the Soul Ring system.”
After speaking, Huo Yuhao felt a bit parched and wanted a sip of coffee, only to find it gone; Gu Yue Na immediately handed him her juice.
Huo Yuhao unceremoniously took a sip, smacked his lips, and continued:
“Contract Dissolution is key to Soul Spirit Technology, also a bit of my personal selfishness.”
“You probably saw it too; as I just said, there’s no essential difference between Soul Rings and Soul Spirits.”
“Whether Soul Rings or Soul Spirits, they are all vassals of the Soul Master.”
“When the Soul Master dies, the Soul Rings and Soul Spirits dissipate.”
Gu Yue Na’s eyes dimmed noticeably; she had indeed seen that Soul Spirit Technology was only slightly better than Soul Rings, but it didn’t change the relationship between the two races.
“So, I added Contract Dissolution to Soul Spirit Technology.”
“Soul Spirits can use an item called Talisman to Break All Precepts to proactively dissolve the contract and detach from the Soul Master.”
“The Talisman to Break All Precepts enters the Soul Spirit’s body the instant fusion occurs.”
“A Soul Spirit can activate the Talisman to Break All Precepts in only two cases: one is the Soul Master’s death, causing the Sea of Consciousness to collapse.”
“The other is the Soul Spirit developing extreme anger toward the Soul Master, using that anger to trigger the Talisman to Break All Precepts.”
“A Soul Spirit losing the Soul Master’s supply can continue existing in the outside world with Spiritual Power; if insufficient, it can be sustained with Dream Coins.”
“Until finding the next suitable Soul Master.”
“By the way, this isn’t really confidential; the Magic Net creator Ye Ge is very interested in this technology.”
“He proactively offered that if a Soul Spirit dissolves the contract, Magic Net can provide a hundred years of Existence spiritual power.”
“After a hundred years, it can choose to integrate into Magic Net or contract with another Soul Master.”
“That’s the details of Soul Spirit Contract and Contract Dissolution.”
“Do you have any other questions?”
Gu Yue Na’s purple eyes sparkled, her hands tightly gripping the fabric of her white dress.
“Why do this?”
“Why research this technology?”
Huo Yuhao smiled at her and said:
“No reason.”
“Just because I wanted to do it, I could do it, so I did.”
“A person’s life is a hundred years, nothing more than leaving something in this world.”
“Soul Spirit Technology is my gift to the world.”
“In the future, whoever uses Soul Spirits will inevitably think of me.”
“I become a mountain in history that cannot be surpassed.”
“Also, I want to change this unchanging world a bit.”
“That’s the only reason.”
Gu Yue Na fell silent, her purple eyes gazing deeply at the confident Huo Yuhao, wanting to etch this man firmly in her heart.
The answer she had sought for so long arrived before her in such a simple way.
She, as the Soul Beast Co-lord, hadn’t contributed a single bit to the issue between the two races.
Yet this problem was about to be solved by the extraordinarily talented person before her.
This frustrated Gu Yue Na, but also made her happy, because at least Soul Beasts now had one more path forward.
“Thank you.”
A mosquito-like voice was drowned in the classical music of the Maid Coffee Shop.
But Huo Yuhao heard it with his Spiritual Power, though he didn’t show it.
Gu Yue Na felt her heart beating a bit fast; this was the first time she sincerely thanked someone, even if he might not have heard.
Her exquisite, pristine pretty face now flushed red; she lowered her head, turning into an ostrich.
She felt some indescribable strange emotions stirring in her heart.
