How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

The latest major breakthrough is indeed related to Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu and Zhao Zhen from Jiangnan Group traveled to Yingyu Country and brought back a person—He Xinkai.

He Xinkai had wandered in foreign countries for many years, ostensibly working for Yingyu Country, but he was always pondering this project.

Years of thinking, not daring to write it down, not daring to discuss it with anyone, just pondering deeper and deeper, with thoughts wandering ever further.

After returning to the country, he implemented his various ideas and finally found inspiration in the field of neutrinos...

Neutrino technology has now broken through the last bottleneck and reached the practical stage.

When the 360 stations of Daxia are deeply embedded underground, Daxia's communications will have a backup system. Even if the Heavenly Eye is damaged, there's still the Earth Eye. In times of disastrous tribulations, even if satellites are destroyed, Daxia's missiles can still be launched normally...

This is top secret.

But Ding Lizhong didn't keep it from Lin Xiaosu.

Because he had heard too much about Lin Xiaosu's deeds.

He knew Lin Xiaosu was a key person in this monumental calamity.

Lin Xiaosu felt deeply moved...

Indeed, there are heroes on every front.

A project like this is truly essential.

Others might not accept it, but he wouldn't doubt that someone could easily destroy Heavenly Eye satellites.

Human military strength may not be enough to compete with top masters on the Cultivation Path, but having "something" and having "nothing at all" are two fundamentally different concepts.

He feels fortunate that there is such a group of people, silently working in this domain.

Indeed...

This path is not lonely!

That night.

Lin Xiaosu sleeps in the guest room at Ding's Villa.

Midnight, just when he plans to sleep.

However, the door quietly opens, and Ding Ruoshui silently slips into bed.

Embracing her soft warmth, Lin Xiaosu asks her softly, "Didn't you say we shouldn't fool around?"

Ding Ruoshui stammers, "That's just feudal superstition..."

So gently adjusting, gently feeding, softly rising and falling, the whole process controlled, Ding Ruoshui feels extremely comfortable at the peak, whispering in his ear, "There's the fierce taste of fierce, and the softness of soft, you should keep it varied, three fierce times and one soft...

"No more fierce... I have to go home tomorrow."

"Then come during the Spring Festival!"

"I really might not be able to come during the Spring Festival."

"I'll come over during the Spring Festival..."

"..." Lin Xiaosu: "How about after the Spring Festival! After the Spring Festival, I need to go to Kun Cang. Let's go together."

"You're going to Kun Cang?" Ding Ruoshui was surprised.

"Hmm!"

"I heard... I heard from Blue Demon that you locked the Gate of Kun Cang..."

"The gate is one-way blocked. Trying to come out might not be possible, but entering from this side is quite easy."

Ding Ruoshui glanced at him sideways: "You didn't understand me at all. Those Kun Cang bigwigs hate you for being controlled this way. You dare to enter Kun Cang? Aren't you afraid they'll do you in?"

Lin Xiaosu replied, "Afraid! So... I plan to deal with them first."

"Admit it, you're tough when you're on me, but you'll be useless in Kun Cang; you won't be able to handle anyone..." After a sidelong glance, Ding Ruoshui said, "Actually, I also need to go to Chunshui Palace."

She had broken through to the Observing Earth Realm, and the next step is Observing Heaven.

Her Observing Heaven is a bit unique, requiring her to light the first Heavenly Star in the Secret Realm of Chunshui Palace and build the path for subsequent Heavenly Stars.

The next morning.

Lin Xiaosu left Ding's Villa, and Ding Dong saw him off.

This is indeed news.

Ding Dong has never sent anyone off, unless it's a beautiful woman he hasn't yet taken into action...

Today, he actually took the initiative to send Lin Xiaosu off.

With this gesture, he sent him from Jiangcheng straight to Fengcheng.

On the way, Lin Xiaosu discussed a lot with him about the Puppet Path.

A door in Ding Dong's mind opened at that moment.

The Puppet Path, used in modern warfare, could be a strange force. For example, Daxia's world-renowned machine wolf packs, the only effective defense from rival countries is electronic warfare.

Using electronic interference to disrupt the control system of machine wolf packs.

This is effective.

However, what if they were replaced with puppets?

Electronic warfare entirely loses its effectiveness, catching the opponent off guard; could they still not be defeated?

Ding Dong's vision widened, his heart filled with unspeakable excitement. After sending Lin Xiaosu to the Detective Agency's door, he immediately turned around. Passing the Fengcheng city sculpture, he produced a special communicator and pressed it down.

The communicator transmitted the voice of Qianlong Nine, Xue Ying: "What's up?"

"Haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you!"

After a long moment, Xue Ying finally sighed, "It's almost New Year, don't force me to swear, just say it!"

"I need to go to the Base immediately. I've made a scientific breakthrough, even hoping to reveal the third form of Wing Blade."

Ding Dong tried hard to keep his voice calm and peaceful, looking forward to hearing a surprise shriek from Xue Ying, this white-haired girl, through the communicator.

However, there was no shriek, only surprise: "Lin Xiaosu conveyed this method to you?"

"What do you mean Lin Xiaosu conveyed it to me?" Ding Dong was furious: "In all the world, I alone could possibly accomplish this ancient mission!"

"Then why... why did Lin Xiaosu already achieve the third transformation of Wing Blade half a month ago?"

Ding Dong was dumbfounded, touched his face, took a deep breath, and found it completely unbelievable, "Really?"

"It's normal that you don't know. No one outside has seen the grandeur of the third form of Wing Blade firsthand…" Xue Ying said, "But you're not wrong, Qianlong urgently needs to know this method. Where are you now? I'll come to pick you up!"

"I am... I am in Lin Xiaosu's hometown! I'm considering whether to drive and run him over!" Ding Dong gritted his teeth, "That bastard praised me as a genius with a straight face yesterday, while he was actually waiting for me to call him the genius of geniuses... My sister, she's just been swindled..."

Currently, Ding Dong was on cloud nine, as if he were second only to the heavens.

However, in just a few words from Xue Ying, his spirit was completely dampened.

Because he suddenly realized that the huge breakthrough he was so proud of had already been surpassed; he was no longer second to none. Even if he truly succeeded in the third transformation of Wing Blade, he was just following in Lin Xiaosu's footsteps...

Failing to show off in front of the white-haired girl, Ding the dandy felt somewhat dejected...

Lin Xiaosu returned to the Detective Agency.

In the agency, only Miao Ruolan was there.

Upon seeing him, a familiar gentle smile appeared on Miao Ruolan's face and she stood up, "You're back!"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu gently gave her a hug.

Miao Ruolan leaned into his embrace a bit, brushed past him, and went to pour him tea.

A cup of tea was placed in his hands, and Miao Ruolan said, "Some more money just arrived."

"How much?"

"A million came in the day before yesterday, and five hundred thousand just arrived." Miao Ruolan lightly exhaled.

Lin Xiaosu was aware of these two sums of money.

The million was due to the great achievements Lin Xiaosu had in the Southwest War Zone, slaying the Earthfall Beast and removing Li Tian Saint Master. The merit was too great to be calculated in detail, so they simply converted it into two top-level missions, amounting to a million at the cap.

And the five hundred thousand that just came in today was likely from yesterday's operation against the Utopia Venerable Master.

This amount also capped at five hundred thousand.

Miao Ruolan looked out onto the street, lowered her voice, "Little Su, just this year, we've made over 70 million on paper, it's really kind of scary, and the funds from 101 are all tax-free."

"Tax-free?" Lin Xiaosu was a bit surprised, "Qianlong was quite considerate to waive the taxes."

"Mm, let's discuss something." Miao Ruolan sat next to him.

"What is it?"

"Still about the shares, why don't you pay me an unprecedented high salary? Don't roll your eyes, isn't a million a year enough? A million annual salary places you at the pinnacle of the pyramid," Miao Ruolan said.

"No! This isn't something we can decide on our own; the law clearly states that we have equal shares, fifty-fifty!"

"But... but all the work is done by you."

"I've already won you over, why dwell on who did the work?"

Miao Ruolan's cheeks blushed...

Lin Xiaosu started his persuasion, "They say, when men have money, they go bad. If you give all the money to me, I'll definitely go bad. You don't want me to go bad, do you?"

Miao Ruolan snuggled into his arms, lightly nibbled on his hand, "I'm not worried about that; you're already as bad as it gets, how much worse can it get?"

These words, spoken between young lovers, seem kind of indulgent.

Lin Xiaosu's hand slipped underneath her clothes.

Miao Ruolan quickly held it down, giggling, "Actually, I've gotten a bit bad too."

"Oh? Really? Could my Ruolan also turn bad?"

Miao Ruolan blinked, "Really, a few days ago, I did something particularly bad... I'll tell you, but don't tell anybody else..."

She began recounting her misdeed.

It was targeted at her future sister-in-law.

Her brother, at the end of last year, went on a blind date with a girl, right?

That girl asked for a dowry of 388,000.

At the time, her parents were so worried their hair nearly fell out; Miao Ruolan gave her mother 400,000, and once the dowry was given, the other side was very happy, thus the marriage was set.

But unexpectedly, that future sister-in-law and her family were insatiable.

While discussing the wedding, they started causing trouble; first, they demanded to buy a house in the provincial capital, then a house in the county town, then they wanted an additional dowry, claiming that one of her friends received a dowry of 500,000, then they asked for five gold, eight gold, reasoning that it's the norm now.

Her parents were overwhelmed.

They felt that their future daughter-in-law's appetite was too large, like a bottomless pit.

If they backed out of the engagement, the other side wouldn't return the dowry.

Meeting all her demands, firstly there wasn't enough money, secondly, who knew where her demands would end.

When her mother shared this with Miao Ruolan, both women at the Detective Agency were furious.

Zhou Xi said, our Detective Agency has solved so many difficult cases, how can we not resolve something like this for ourselves? No way, we have to come up with a solution.

They plotted all night and came up with a particularly bad plan.

Miao Ruolan gave her mother 3 million and had her deposit it in a postal savings bank.

The clerk at that postal bank happened to be a friend of her future sister-in-law, who had been encouraging her to keep demanding money.

Her mother pretended not to know her and deposited the large sum in her own name through her hands.

The next day, the future sister-in-law took the initiative to contact her brother, being unusually gentle.

Her brother, according to her and Zhou Xi's plan, acted distant towards that sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law panicked, and went to her house, showing excessive warmth to her parents.

Her parents, following Miao Ruolan's arrangement, weren't cold nor particularly warm. During the visit, Zhou Xi also arranged for a matchmaker to come by, pretending not to recognize the sister-in-law, and introducing a potential wife for her brother, saying that woman was particularly suitable for living a life, unlike the issues with women nowadays…

The sister-in-law listened throughout, her face alternating between red and black.

Afterwards, the sister-in-law's family had a complete change of attitude.

They no longer discussed any conditions, urging the couple to get married quickly. Now the date is set, for May 1st next year, and currently, the sister-in-law is at their house every day helping her parents, appearing very virtuous and well-behaved...
