175: Explanation

Great Xia was very good at biding its time and hiding its capabilities.

During this timing, every industry and profession was riding the wave of rapid development.

At the same time, various Orders were being established.

For instance, as the number of Professionals grew, they relied entirely on Ye Su's three prohibitions, which more or less covered most situations.

If you say you can't bully ordinary people, what if an ordinary person bullies you?

Don't scoff; such situations really did exist.

Some people were just petty, standing under surveillance cameras to provoke you.

Relying on the existence of the three prohibitions, they acted without restraint.

This was clearly wrong.

It was a deficiency in the law and a loophole in the rules.

A while ago, everyone was either in the middle of a battle or on the way to one, so no one had time to deal with this.

Now, there was plenty of time to set these rules.

Everything was done to make this group better suited for this era.

Great Xia was changing its outlook.

It could be said that everything in sight was transforming.

This was the revolution to welcome a new era.

In this environment, Ye Su did not show his face.

He was Cultivating.

Furthermore, he was gradually about to touch upon a Physique of over 100 points.

Although he hadn't deliberately strengthened his body.

Even the White Head Great Profound Scripture's circulation was being intentionally suppressed.

However, things like blood qi and spiritual energy were constantly and passively enhancing his physical attributes.

--- "Whew... I'm starting to feel a slight discomfort."

Ye Su stood up and stretched his neck, saying;

"It's as if my body can no longer contain such explosive power."

"Could it be that humans have limits, and to Breakthrough those limits, one must stop being human?"

Ye Su amused himself with the thought.

However, after breaking through 100 points, something unexpected would indeed happen.

This was something confirmed in the future.

Thus.

Ye Su had to be prepared.

Ye Su didn't need to worry about the details of the Suzhou and Hangzhou's development.

That was Zhuge Hu's job.

Even if Ye Su intervened personally, he might not do as well as Zhuge Hu.

What remained was the overall general direction.

At the Research Institute, Li Qing would fight for his own interests.

He heard that the negotiations with the Luoyang Research Institute were going well.

In the new Suzhou and Hangzhou, a plot of land had already been prepared for cultivating Spirit Medicine.

Even the fertilizer was piled up.

Hmm--- the fermented low-grade meat paste from the Yao Race and Insect Race really had a pungent smell!

Then there was the Professional Metal from Tangshan.

That was its current name; metal specifically for Professionals' use, hence called Professional Metal.

It could indeed conduct blood qi, though its conductivity wasn't as high as the ordinary weapons found in treasure chests.

But at least there was a direction.

With continuous development, it would eventually surpass treasure chest weapons.

As for the research into replicating Divine Weapons—Ye Su put a big 'X' through that project.

Don't be ridiculous.

A Divine Weapon wasn't metal, nor was it a weapon; it was equipment.

This kind of thing was at least a Late Stage item.

Throwing resources into it at this stage would be a waste.

Finally.

There was Zhuge Hu's Professional heavy cavalry unit.

For this, that Precious Horse needed to put in some effort.

"Captain Ye..."

Suddenly, Zhuge Hu knocked on the door with a grim face and entered the room after Ye Su gave his permission.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Su was curious.

Zhuge Hu rarely showed such an expression.

"I just went to the stables and found that the horse ran away... not just it, but all the mares ran off with it."

Ye Su was surprised.

Huh?

That Ferghana Horse was close to the King-level Lifeform level.

Its presence was stable and powerful.

If it moved, he should have been able to notice it.

Yet, he didn't expect it could slip away silently, and take a bunch of mares with it.

Was it a special talent?

"Did it run through the air?"

Ye Su asked.

The stables were guarded, and since the Suzhou and Hangzhou was filled with their own people, running away on the ground should have been easily noticed.

"Yes."

Zhuge Hu said;

"The process of running was silent; it actually leaped directly over the walls and defenses of the Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"I've already sent people to investigate, but the news I got is that it generally headed southwest. However, the one who saw it was an ordinary person and didn't see it very clearly."

"Southwest."

Ye Su muttered to himself.

This horse was still very important.

After all, if the Suzhou and Hangzhou really wanted to establish a Professional heavy cavalry unit, it would be a landmark in terms of combat power and gradual large-scale military strength.

Everyone would see the benefits of doing so, and then every Suzhou and Hangzhou would develop its own large-scale group combat forces.

"Put this matter aside for now. Call Mo Xiaoyu over; the three of us will have a small meeting."

Ye Su thought for a moment and then said.

As for the horse, he would ride the Albatross to chase it later.

No matter how fast it was, it couldn't be faster than the Albatross.

Even if it ran to the ends of the earth, as long as it hadn't been eaten, he could bring it back.

But as time went on.

Ye Su wouldn't be able to suppress himself anymore.

So he needed to give Zhuge Hu and Mo Xiaoyu a heads-up.

Soon.

Mo Xiaoyu rushed over.

"Captain Ye, you were looking for me?"

Mo Xiaoyu asked.

During this solar term, under normal circumstances, Ye Su wouldn't look for her, especially since there were no major battles outside.

Ye Su was busy with his own Cultivation, while Mo Xiaoyu watched over the Suzhou and Hangzhou wall construction; it had already become a habit.

"Yes."

Ye Su nodded.

"Now that the three of us are here, there are some things I need to hand over in advance."

"Hand over in advance?" Zhuge Hu was puzzled;

"Does Captain Ye mean you're going away for a while?"

"Yes."

Ye Su said;

"I won't go into the specific details, but roughly speaking, some problems have arisen in my Cultivation, and I need to stay outside."

Ye Su spoke nonchalantly.

But in the ears of Zhuge Hu and Mo Xiaoyu, it was no different from a bomb.

You've got to be kidding.

Ye Su's Cultivation had a problem?

One had to know that the entire mechanism of the Suzhou and Hangzhou was built by Zhuge Hu based on Ye Su's existence.

If something happened to him.

The Suzhou and Hangzhou would collapse immediately!

"Captain Ye, this is too big of a deal!!"

Zhuge Hu almost jumped up;

"You know, the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou---"

"Then I'll just be blunt."

Ye Su interrupted him.

After all, Zhuge Hu was about to launch into a long speech.

"After the third stage, there should be another path, but this route is very difficult to take, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."

"You should know that we are the first batch of people in this Professional era. Some paths must be forged by us."

A small lie did no harm.

Little did he know.

These words exploded directly in Zhuge Hu's heart.

A towering giant beast, moving forward over skeletons!

It was just like a pioneer opening a path, only to fall along the way, leaving behind a pile of bones as a warning to those who follow.

"Captain Ye, can you... wait a bit?"

Zhuge Hu was enveloped by a sense of destiny.

This was a glimpse of the future brought by his 'Star Gazing' talent.

He was terrified that it would come true at this very moment.

"It's not a big problem. I'm telling you in advance because I hope you'll have a way to deal with it."

"I should be back after the next solar term begins."

"Prepare yourselves, and it's best to be mentally prepared; perhaps when you see me again, my form might be different."

He gave them a full dose of preventive warning first.
