170: Chapter 170 Three Months, Dark Clouds

Ye Yang had no intention of hiding the fact that Little White Fox Ah Li possessed a cell phone from the people of Jianghai City.

It was impossible to hide anyway, as using the internet on a phone consumed data. The person in Jianghai City who lost the phone likely discovered the strange situation shortly after, using location tracking to realize that someone... no, some creature in the outskirts of Jianghai City was playing with her phone.

Following Little White Fox Ah Li's phone contact, a helicopter flew over shortly after.

The person who stepped off the helicopter was the Jianghai City liaison—Yu Weiyue.

Ye Yang looked down at Yu Weiyue, whose body was only about the size of one of his claws. Seeing her slender frame trembling slightly, he spoke directly.

“This is a weapon from that foreign army from before. Can you manufacture a batch for me?”

Yu Weiyue’s fearful yet bright eyes followed his gaze to the laser rifle in Monkey King Wukong's hand.

“Russia's laser rifle?!”

She let out a cry of surprise from her small mouth!

“Russia...”

Ye Yang murmured to himself; so that military unit was a squad from Russia.

Yu Weiyue’s delicate and beautiful heart-shaped face recovered from its state of shock, and she said excitedly,

“Yes! Our Jianghai City can definitely mass-produce Russia's laser rifles!”

Ye Yang nodded.

According to his knowledge of the Great Xia Kingdom in this world, Great Xia's copying technology was the best in the world.

“Just keep the proportions to this size...”

...

Afterward, Yu Weiyue excitedly left the mountain forest on the outskirts of Jianghai City with the laser rifle.

As soon as her helicopter landed back in Jianghai City,

The laser rifle was taken away by the Jianghai City Research Department, which had been waiting for a long time.

The leaders of Jianghai City were extremely happy!

“Excellent! With Russia's laser rifle weapon, we have a very high probability of reverse-engineering its weapon principles!”

“Indeed!”

There was a reason they had such high confidence.

Russia's strength in researching military weaponry was indeed very high, but other countries on the Blue Star were no pushovers either.

Generally, as long as there was a blueprint or structural diagram of the weapon's principles, the weapon could be perfectly replicated. Even with just a prototype weapon, it was only a matter of spending a bit more time.

After all, the technological gap between Russia and other major powers on the Blue Star was not that large; otherwise, Russia would have already used forceful military power to rule the Blue Star.

Sure enough, after a month of work, the laser rifle was perfectly replicated by Jianghai City!

Simultaneously, a week or two later, Yu Weiyue delivered over a hundred laser rifles.

After Ye Yang harvested them with satisfaction, he told Monkey King Wukong to take this batch of laser weapons to arm his Golden Monkey Group.

Once they had weapons, they still needed training; otherwise, what use was a laser rifle if they couldn't hit anything?

...

Time passed for another three months.

The Blue Star seemed to have entered the quiet and peaceful days of the past before the Spirit Qi Rejuvenation, with no major events occurring.

It was even calmer than before, as all countries were delving into everything related to Spirit Qi, striving to maximize its effects on the human body.

No country wanted to fall behind others in Spirit Qi research because they were certain that the next hundred years of human civilization would surely be the era of Spirit Qi!

In just over half a year, even those who did not practice Great Xia Kingdom's Spirit Qi cultivation were affected by Spirit Qi, becoming healthier and stronger—not to mention those who focused on absorbing Spirit Qi for cultivation.

It was said that a foreign strongman, once the world's best, personally visited a zoo not long ago and sent an African elephant flying with a single punch!

This immediately went viral across the entire internet!

Countless people who couldn't stand the boredom of Spirit Qi cultivation were suddenly pumped up like they'd been injected with chicken blood, and began to cultivate diligently!

But reality was often cruel. Modern people were constantly attracted by the novelties of the internet; how could they endure ten-plus hours of boring and tedious cultivation?

Moreover, the Spirit Qi cultivation aptitude of the vast majority was truly low. Cultivating for a week was not as fast as one day for someone with high Spirit Qi aptitude.

This resulted in very few among the billions of people being able to persist.

They felt even more strongly that the Great Xia Kingdom's Spirit Qi cultivation methods were wrong, and were all looking forward to their own countries researching a way to absorb Spirit Qi and become stronger that didn't require such hard work...

...

On the other side, in the mountain forest on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

During these three months, this forest had been quite peaceful, aside from the occasional sound of blasting caps echoing from a distance.

At the temporary habitat, a brilliant golden great bird looked to the side.

Not far from him, a white giant bear as sturdy as a small mountain and a Giant Panda of similar size were sitting on the hilltop, eyes closed as they silently absorbed Spirit Qi.

On the other side, Monkey King Wukong, having learned the posture from somewhere, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing the Body Tempering Gong released by Great Xia that he had learned from Little White Fox Ah Li's phone.

Seeing his three subordinates working so hard to silently absorb Spirit Qi and cultivate, Ye Yang nodded silently.

“Not bad, they are all working hard to get stronger.”

The stronger his subordinates were, the greater the help they would be to him.

Then he turned to look the other way. On a cyan rock, the infant Hou Lingling was staring at Little White Fox Ah Li's phone screen; the two little ones were watching the phone without even blinking.

Ye Yang glanced at Little White Fox Ah Li with some doubt.

“Xiong Da and those guys have been running breathing techniques on the hilltop to absorb Spirit Qi and cultivate for these three months. Combined with the Black Giant Snake meat from last time, their evolution levels have finally risen to ‘D+’...”

“But—this Little White Fox Ah Li is a total phone addict all day long, and I haven't seen her run any breathing techniques to cultivate...”

“Could it be that she has an automatic cultivation system just like me?”

Ye Yang shook his head; although Little White Fox Ah Li's leveling speed was fast, it was far from being able to compare with his.

He also knew what the Spirit Body of the infant Hou Lingling meant—it meant that Spirit Qi would spontaneously pour into her body, acting as a small cultivation cheat.

“After consuming the dragon blood fruit, these guys' own potential has been greatly improved...”

“I should also undergo a Racial Evolution...”

He looked up at the sky. At some point, the clear, cloudless sky had developed a patch of pitch-black dark clouds, which was rapidly spreading toward the distance...

At the same time, the electromagnetic fields in the air of this mountain forest began to densely intertwine... a "zzzt zzzt" sound of electric current appeared in the air.

...

In the distance, the massive construction teams of Jianghai City were working.

In three months, the Spirit Qi in the Blue Star's air had risen significantly once again. Twenty-four hours a day, a thin white mist of Spirit Qi shrouded the mountains and ridges.

Originally, it was only because of the extremely high pay and astronomical insurance that a large number of equipment operators were willing to come to the outskirts of Jianghai City to build this project.

But after several months without encountering the feared wild beast attacks, they had already fallen in love with the Spirit Qi-rich wilderness.

But suddenly, the movement of the dark clouds in the distance rippled out to this place...

It made everyone's hearts tremble with fear...
