Chapter 276: Done Every Evil Deed!
“Second Sister-in-law, have you ever seen or discovered those research institutes?” Wu Xian asked curiously.
“Sort of seen them, I guess.” Kun Youniang seemed somewhat anomalous.
“Uh, what do you mean by ‘sort of seen them’?” Wu Xian, Xue Lingling, and Xue Zhengying looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kun Youniang pondered for a moment, her expression complex as she said: “This Emperor actually escaped from an abandoned research institute back then.”
At these words, everyone was greatly shocked and pale-faced.
“What?”
Xue Zhengying felt an inexplicable surge of anger, his heartache nearly overflowing.
“Though in their eyes back then, this Emperor was just an insignificant experimental subject,” Kun Youniang’s face turned cold, “those pains and torments will one day be settled with them.”
“By the way, why was that research institute abandoned back then?” Wu Xian asked seriously.
“They played with fire and got burned,” Kun Youniang said with schadenfreude: “They created a world-ending level insectoid monster, and in the end, except for a few who barely escaped, everyone else became Mother’s meal.”
“Mother?” Everyone was surprised.
“That world-ending level insectoid monster,” Kun Youniang explained: “Back then, the insectoids in the research institute were basically all Mother’s children, and this Emperor was no exception.”
Xue Lingling asked with concern: “So what happened to Second Sister-in-law’s mother in the end? Is she still alive?”
“After Mother killed those guys, relying on her last wisp of consciousness, she self-destructed and returned to the heaven and earth of the insectoid world.”
Hearing this, everyone felt inevitably saddened.
“The upper class people really do all kinds of bad things!” Xue Zhengying gnashed his teeth.
Kun Youniang calmly added, “The research institute didn’t just have us insectoids; there were also some humans captured for experiments. As experimental subjects, they suffered far worse than us.”
“…”
Wu Xian and the others only felt their scalps go numb.
From the current perspective, those upper class people had completely lost their humanity.
But thinking about it, it made sense; they all fancied themselves as gods, so naturally they wouldn’t treat lower class people as humans.
Take the Wang Family, for example; treating them like dogs was already a great “favor” in the eyes of upper class people.
…
Back to the North Street District Small Villa.
It took Wu Xian a long time to recover from the malice of the upper class.
But he also understood that the campaign against the upper class was a long road ahead; take it slowly.
He took out his phone, logged into the forum pre-arranged with the two spies, and after some searching, found the intelligence left by the two spy brothers, mostly locations of abandoned research institutes.
Originally, Wu Xian had planned to handle it personally.
But after realizing those data cores held no value for him, there was no need to go to such trouble.
He immediately contacted Second Brother Xue Zhengying and shared the intelligence with him.
Second Sister-in-law Kun Youniang, as a great demon from the insectoid otherworld, surely had some “connections” in various otherworlds, and the great demons in those otherworlds should be very interested in this intelligence.
As for the two spy brothers, with the day and night patrol gods at hand, plus advance knowledge, there was naturally no need to worry.
After arranging everything, Wu Xian began to carefully “refine” the 【divine power fragment】 left by the sinister man.
After all, it was a law framework of law power that “naturally” developed, so it naturally couldn’t perfectly match his own scroll painting concept, but overall it was quite similar and compatible.
He removed the useless law power, retaining the law framework that was useful to him.
As for supplementing the subsequent law power, he couldn’t directly manipulate that; he still had to follow the process of drawing extraordinary scroll paintings.
“Tiger materials, dragon materials, lion materials, dog materials, and also need to add some qilin-related materials—not easy to get!”
Although he had the 【divine power fragment】 as the core, to make a jade axis scroll painting, the quality of the other series of materials also needed to keep up.
For the scroll painting concept, now with incense and faith added, it should be achievable.
Moreover, as his first jade scroll, it must be treated seriously.
He spent the whole night organizing his thought process and finalizing the draft image.
The next day, he went to the club and browsed for suitable materials in the Hero Points mall.
The value of the Hero Points mall was beyond doubt; it was just that his Hero Points were a bit short.
“Master Sister, I’m short on some key materials here. Can you sponsor some Hero Points?” Wu Xian cheerfully approached his beautiful and wise Master Sister.
Unlike him, this spendthrift guy, Master Sister was still very frugal with Hero Points.
After all, there was only one set of scroll painting concepts, with limited demand for high-end materials.
Having earned so many Hero Points from 【Underworld + Taoshi Mountain】, Master Sister couldn’t spend them all.
“…” Xue Lingling said irritably: “What? Preparing your jade scroll concept?”
“Exactly.”
“Hmph! Your Master doesn’t even have a jade scroll yet, and you’re doing this—it’s hard for me to handle!” Xue Lingling pouted her small mouth.
“The way you say it, what’s mine isn’t yours?” Wu Xian said righteously, “At a time like this, why distinguish between us?”
“But I just feel psychologically imbalanced.”
Wu Xian pounced fiercely, pinning her down on the bed, and planted a few kisses, “Balanced now?”
Xue Lingling’s small face flushed red with shame, and in her panic, she chased Wu Xian out of the palace.
Not long after, looking at the 100,000 Hero Points arriving in the alliance information panel, Wu Xian was filled with emotion.
Who could have thought that one day he would stoop to “selling his looks”?
Fortunately, it was worth it.
He’d go to the Abyssal Realm more later and get Master Sister a suitable 【divine power fragment】 as compensation.
Returning to the league device side, he cheerfully placed the order.
Not long after, several desired materials were delivered to him.
On the Network Department side, the Four Seas Dragon Palace card pool had officially gone public beta today, but the popularity was average.
After all, the gacha system relied entirely on Yaoyang City folks for support, and Yaoyang City had no 【Endless Sea Region】 dimensional rift.
But no matter; the rewards from the last special grade expedition were already in place, and several alliance technical personnel had arrived and begun constructing the 【Endless Sea Region】 teleportation gate.
On the card pool side, Wu Xian had also put in the 【Endless Sea Region entry ticket】.
In the future, Yaoyang City adventurers wanting to go to the Endless Sea Region wouldn’t need to travel far; they could go directly from home.
After discussion with Master Sister, they decided to set up the Endless Sea Region teleportation gate in the plaza outside the club.
“Speaking of which, why are you masters only coming now?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but ask curiously.
The lead technical personnel helplessly complained, “What else? The intercity space channel still hasn’t been unsealed, and who knows when it will be.”
“No accurate news from the alliance side?” Wu Xian had also been headache over this lately.
“None at all,” the lead technical personnel shook his head: “In my view, the intercity space channel is probably going to become history.”
Wu Xian took a deep breath; if that was really the case, there would be trouble ahead.
“In my view, this whole thing is deliberately done by that 【Emperor Spirit of the Void】. Otherwise, why are other space teleportation devices unaffected, but specifically the intercity space channel can’t be used?”
Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
He just couldn’t figure out what the 【Emperor Spirit of the Void】’s purpose was in doing this?
Simply to disgust the upper class, or restricting something in secret?
While pondering, Du Yifan sneaked over furtively, signaling him to step aside to talk.
“What’s up?” Wu Xian asked in doubt.
“You know I can see things others can’t now, right?” Du Yifan hesitated, “Not sure if it’s my illusion or what, but I keep feeling something’s off around the City God Temple; I occasionally see some strange scenes.”
