It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?

Chapter 280 If it was Xu Shi, it would be normal
"Hey, tell me the truth, do you really eat both men and women?"

"Hey, hey, it's almost done."

Facing the second lady's question, Xu Shi sweated, "Your apprentice is a little fool, are you a little fool too?"

From this point of view, it is not Pan Feng who has unhealthy thoughts in her mind, but it is clearly her master who is serious on the surface.

"I'm not an idiot!"

Xia Wuyou would never admit it. Although she knew that her useless apprentice was talking nonsense, she was really a little unhappy when she heard her talk like that.

You said that this scumbag man is a playboy, but if he really wants to develop some other hobbies, it will be really hard for her to accept it.

"Okay okay, you're not you're not."

Xu Shi nodded, "But speaking of this, I have something to ask you. Have you ever heard a story about a smart man saying yes and a little fool saying no?"

"No...Xu Shi!"

Xia Xiaomao shook his head subconsciously, and realized something was wrong mid-sentence, "You know how to set a trap for me! If you don't bully your apprentice enough, you've started to bully me again, right?"

Xu Shi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, thinking that you can fall for such an old trick and still think you're not stupid?

Besides, the feeling of bullying a stupid apprentice is completely different from bullying a kitten, okay?Although Pan Ling has now learned to resist instead of simply accepting, the degree is not as angry as the Xia Wuyou in front of her, which is very interesting.

Of course, if you want to say who enjoys bullying the most, it has to be Xie Qingyan.

"Humph."

Xia Wuyou wouldn't really argue with him. As an old married couple, they would just have a few symbolic fights and be done with it.

But she was also really curious, "What did you just say?"

Nowadays, she may not be higher than Xu Shi in terms of mental strength, and since she didn't pay attention at all, she naturally doesn't know what interesting things happened before.

Xu Shi didn't hide it from her, and roughly explained the cause and effect to her.

"……So this is ah."

Xia Maomao listened with great interest and made a similar comment to him, "It seems that Xiaoling has indeed made great progress. If I really go to the City of Night Sin in the future, I'm afraid there will be more than enough to take over from you."

"How do you know I want her to take over my class?" Xu Shi raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise? Are you going to let that little queen take over from you?"

Xia Wuyou rolled her eyes at him, "And I've discovered a long time ago that you are very lazy at heart. You will never trouble yourself if you can leave things to others."

As the diligent person in the team second only to Jiang Chengcheng, Ms. Xia Wuyou, the director of the "Snake Ring" field department who has been working hard in the Night Sin City for ten years, expressed strong contempt and condemnation for this.

It's not shameful to lie down... Xu Shi didn't even bother to refute, because he did have such thoughts.

Pan Ling, this silly apprentice, is really a little treasure. He is diligent, studious and not weak in ability... After being cultivated in a subtle way during this period, both his abilities and his own abilities have made a qualitative leap. Such a good boy will hand over the company in the future. I feel relieved to have her take care of myself.

Should this be said to be irrefutable proof that everyone around the protagonist is gifted?Although similar topics have not been discussed for a long time, this principle seems to be the same everywhere.

But having said that, I haven’t even said a word about this matter. Not to mention that the mess of the Hualan Empire has not been dealt with yet. The environment in Night Sin City is very different from here. If I really want a stupid apprentice to take over, then that’s okay. It must be a long time later.

Well, it seems that my plan to retire at the age of 26 will not be realized, crying.

"But whether you should say it or not, you do value that Lu Baiyan very much."

Xia Wuyou said again, "I've never seen you care so much about other people here... Are you interested in his abilities?"

"...Madam still understands me."

Xu Shi smiled, thinking that after so long, someone finally noticed this blind spot.

Pan Ling's previous analysis was actually correct. Lu Baiyan's identity, as well as his personal character, including the impact of successful wooing, are indeed very attractive.

But if it's just these, it's really not enough for me to take the initiative to try to conquer his mind. The reason why I do this is because of his quite special ability.

"Back in time"

Don't look at the many limitations of this ability. It can only target inanimate objects, and the backtracking is only half an hour... Although it seems that it can only be used as a post-war cleaner, this is still a top-level ability that is unique among thousands.

First of all, abilities involving time and space are very rare, especially time-based abilities, which are even rarer - after all, it is like his own "liminal space", including the little black rabbit Gu Yi currently evolved The "digitization of consciousness" can actually be counted in the field of space system. Naturally, if you see it more often, you won't find it so rare.

However, Xu Shi has only seen Lu Baiyan possess the time-based power so far, and it is indeed more precious in comparison.

"It seems to be the case when you say so."

Xia Wuyou was noncommittal. It had to be said that recently, everyone's thoughts were on the battle of wits with the royal family and the Holy See, and their thinking was inevitably a bit rigid. When encountering anything, they would first think about the pros and cons, or other strange things. On the contrary, personal abilities themselves will be subconsciously ignored.

But this also illustrates Xu Shi’s ability to play with people’s hearts. No matter how you say it, this is what you are encouraged to do...

Fortunately, having said that, Xia Wuyou would be a fool if he still couldn't figure it out. After a moment, he raised his head in surprise, "So, you want to use his ability..."

Xu Shi did not deny it and nodded calmly.

Neither of them said clearly what he wanted to do with Lu Baiyan's ability, but it was a tacit understanding.

That is, completely clear the "rust fog".

There is a saying that the ultimate goal of everyone's efforts to go to sea is not to compete with this person in a strange land. Of course it is a good thing to expand the territory, but there are always only two core points.

One, find out the "natural principles", and two, clear the "rust fog".

The influence of "Rust Mist" is all over the world, and it is not a good influence no matter where it is - it is true that it can help people activate their abilities, but the pollution it brings and the squeeze on the living environment cannot be underestimated. .

Even though the Hualan Empire seemed unaffected, in fact, through browsing the history books of this place before, Xu Shi had already keenly discovered that this experimental field, which is slightly larger than the City of Night Sin, has also become the same as the history of the city. There is a tendency for the population to become denser. For example, a few hundred years ago, the Hualan Empire had 24 counties, but now there are only ten left. Everyone is gathering in the central city.

It is easy to analyze that in a dozen or several decades, this place will become like a city of sin at night. Due to the over-concentration of the population, there will be a lack of survival resources. It is unclear whether it will become a state of final property centralization. , but certainly not much better.

This is certainly not something to be happy about, especially for a being like Xu Shi who has memories of past lives in his mind, and his tolerance for such a situation is even lower.

Apart from anything else, if you flirt with a girl and say that you want to take her to see the stars, her first reaction is not to agree or refuse, but to ask you if there are really stars, and what do you think of growing grass.

Therefore, his obsession in this area is actually much deeper than others. Now that he sees a being like Lu Baiyan who can be called hope, he will certainly not let it go.

"But there's not a lot of room for development of his ability..."

Xia Wuyou understood her man's thoughts very well, but she couldn't help but express concern.

Judging from the information they have, Lu Baiyan's ability is already around S when converted to their system. At this level, time can only be returned for half an hour, and the space for influence is not large. No matter how you look at it, it is theoretically strong. The best example of reality.

"What kind of problem is this?" Xu Shi was not worried. "The strength of the ability is not important. The most important thing is to find people with this ability."

"His ability is not enough. We can use our technology to develop it, not to mention that we also have the means to implant supernatural powers... As long as you are willing to do it, it will always be possible to achieve it."

Especially the level of squinting eyes - in a sense, S level is actually a very subtle level, and it can be said to be a qualitative leap from A level, but whether it is him, Xia Wuyou, Xie Qingyan Those who have made the leap will actually have an experience.

That is, there is a leap, but not as much as imagined.

The most intuitive example is probably Xia Mao Mao. She is a very traditional type. She only upgrades but does not unlock any new tricks. If you ask her to tell her about any earth-shaking changes, she will be embarrassed. For others, , the situation is very similar.

But I have an impression that during the expedition against Poseidon, Xia Wuyou, who was forced to panic, had a breakthrough moment with the blessing of "Suwei" and was infinitely close to the highlight of SS, showing something similar The ability of "collapse" is definitely not comparable to the previous "gravity control". That is the real world of difference.

Therefore, the power itself is very wonderful. Now it seems that the ability is not obvious. Who knows what the next level will be like?

All in all, Lu Baiyan's ability is worthy of their efforts, and Night Sin City's research in this area is far deeper and further than that of the Hualan Empire.

Since he is so interested, he might as well experience it for himself.jpg
"Of course, this is based on the premise that he really wants to be friends with me."

Xu Shi added, "I've told him everything I need to say. If he still wants to be a bastard, then, hum..."

Xia Xiaomao rolled her eyes. She knew very well what a bad man meant.

What he values ​​​​is Lu Baiyan's ability, and it's not like they don't have the technology to extract supernatural powers. As long as they have the ability, it doesn't matter who they are.

So this is a big bad guy, right?But if it's a long time, it's normal.

She was even more surprised by Xu Shi's eclectic imagination. He could think of so much from such a power?To be honest, she knew what was going on with Lu Baiyan, but she never thought of combining the two.

Well.

"Then...what about the first point?"

She did not struggle too much with human ethics, but asked a question that she was more concerned about, "As for the "law of heaven"...what do you have in mind now?" "

Compared with clearing "Rust Mist", "Tianli" is the one who really has a deep hatred for her. Not to mention before, it's not because she has forgotten or let go, it's just that she can't find a solution in a short time.

Or maybe she had entrusted this matter to Xu Shi and was willing to act in accordance with his ideas... Since he mentioned it now, it would be better to discuss it no matter what.

"Isn't this... not yet."

It's a pity that Xu Shi's answer was not optimistic, "At least now I haven't figured out who is the "supervisor" of "Tianli" buried in the Hualan Empire. "

This matter is really not something that many bosses can solve instantly if they are more resourceful. If he hadn't been careful before, he might still be kept in the dark until now... But even so, the information they can master is very limited. .

"Then what are you going to do?"

Xia Wuyou asked.

"Right now, I think it can only be done with a little trial and error."

Xu Shi sighed, "Maybe when the time comes, they can't help but jump out."

This is really the truth, or in other words, everything they are doing now is actually a test of the bottom line of "natural law" - as the black hands operating behind the scenes, they can accept the consequences of a test field. What can one do?
Did he uncover the "Supervisor", or break the shackles and infiltrate another new experimental field?Or is it……

As mentioned before, this thing definitely has a mechanism, or the existence of a red line. Once it is triggered, what is supposed to come will always come.

"Oh……"

Xia Xiaomao nodded. To be honest, this was certainly not the answer she wanted to hear. She would rather tell her the next plan in a eloquent manner, so she would definitely be happier.

But this is not unacceptable, after all, this is not a trivial matter, and it is normal for him to be unable to think of a thorough plan for a while... Besides, she has been waiting for ten years, and now it is only a few months, so she is not so impatient.

"It doesn't matter what you think. If there's anything you really don't understand, just share it with me."

She held Xu Shi's hand in an understanding manner and said with a gentle smile, "Maybe I can help you?"

"You are a little idiot, there is no point in sharing it with you."

Xu started to ruin the atmosphere on a daily basis.

"Hey!"

Xia Xiaomao's hair exploded in a second.

"No, no, you have helped me a lot."

Xu Shi gave in and said casually, "Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how to take down the Holy See... If we can really take the Hualan Empire into our pocket, maybe the mechanism will be triggered, right?"

"Why do I feel that this Holy See has been unable to escape from your hands for a long time..."

Xia Wuyou was not worried about this. Compared with the "law of heaven", the truth of the Holy See was nothing.

"You can't say that. To deny your opponent is to deny yourself."

Xu Shi said sternly, "A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength...and if they insist on guarding now, it won't be as easy as imagined."

"Then what do you think?"

Xia Wuyou agreed and asked immediately.

"Is this..."

Xu Shi thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm thinking about whether I should give them a loophole appropriately?"

"How to sell?"

"I didn't think so."

"I know you're a lazy ass, do you want me to plan something with you?"

"Where to discuss?"

"Where else do you want to be?"

While the two were chatting enthusiastically, they heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Xu Shi, are you here?"

Xie Qingyan's voice came from the door, "I have something I want to talk to you about alone, is that okay?"
