The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 538 Major Breakthrough in Earth Eye Project

The biggest breakthrough recently was actually related to Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu and Zhao Zhenyuan of Jiangnan Group went to Eagle Feather Kingdom to bring back a person, who was He Xinkai.

He Xinkai had been living abroad for many years, ostensibly working for the Eagle Feather Kingdom, but in reality, he had always been thinking about this project.

After years of contemplation, I dared not put it into writing, nor discuss it with anyone. So I pondered deeper and deeper, my thoughts wandering further and further. Finally, this gave the project a great inspiration, leading to a substantial breakthrough.

Lin Xiaosu was deeply gratified by this.

Others might find it hard to accept that someone could so easily destroy the Tianyan satellite, but he would never doubt it.

Humanity's military power may not be enough to contend with top experts in cultivation, but "having" and "not having" are two completely different concepts.

That night, Ding Ruoshui broke her own promise and secretly slipped into Lin Xiaosu's guest room.

After all that fuss, we held hands and talked.

"Will you come over to pay your respects to your in-laws during the Chinese New Year?"

"Well... cough, I might not be able to make it."

Ding Ruoshui said with a hint of resentment, "Then I'll go visit my adoptive mother-in-law during the Spring Festival..."

"..." Lin Xiaosu: "How about after the Spring Festival? I'm going to Kunming and Cangzhou after the Spring Festival, let's go together."

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

"Ok!"

"I heard... I heard from Lan Yao that you locked the Gate of Kun Cang..."

"This door is a one-way lock. It might be impossible to get out from the inside, but it's very easy to get in from this side."

Ding Ruoshui glared at him: "You didn't understand what I said at all. Those bigwigs in Kuncang hate you to death because you manipulated them like this. You still dare to enter Kuncang? Aren't you afraid they'll come after you?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "I'm scared! So... I plan to take them down first."

"Stop bragging. You're tough on me, but once we get to Kuncang, you'll be all soft and weak and no one will be able to touch you..." Ding Ruoshui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Actually, I also need to go back to Chunshui Palace."

She has already broken through to the Earth-Gazing Realm; the next step is to Gaze into the Heavens.

Her celestial observation was somewhat special; she needed to light up the first celestial star in the secret realm of the Spring Water Palace and pave the way for subsequent celestial stars.

The next morning.

Lin Xiaosu left the Ding family, and Ding Dong saw him off.

This is truly a strange story.

Ding Dong never gives things away, except to beautiful women he hasn't really gotten his hands on yet...

Today, he actually offered to take Lin Xiaosu home.

He delivered the package directly from Jiangcheng to Fengcheng.

On the way, Lin Xiaosu and he discussed many things about the art of puppetry.

A door was opened in Ding Dong's heart.

The art of puppetry, when applied to modern warfare, can be a surprising and effective tactic. For example, the renowned machine wolf packs of the Great Xia Dynasty are the only effective defense against enemy nations, which is electronic warfare.

Use electronic interference to disrupt the control system of the wolf pack of machines.

This is effective.

However, what if it were a puppet?

Electronic warfare tactics have become completely ineffective. If we catch the enemy off guard, how can they possibly remain undefeated?

Ding Dong's horizons broadened, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it. After dropping Lin Xiaosu off at the entrance of the detective agency, he turned around and, as soon as he passed the Phoenix City Sculpture, took out a special communicator and pressed the button.

The voice of Snow Oriole from Qianlong No. 9 came through the communicator: "What is it?"

"It's been so long, I've missed you!"

Xueying finally let out a long sigh: "It's almost New Year's, don't force me to swear, just get to the point!"

"I need to get to the base immediately. I've made a major scientific breakthrough, and there's even hope that the wing blades can exhibit a third form."

Ding Dong tried his best to keep his voice calm and peaceful, anticipating the exclamation from Xue Ying, the white-haired girl, through the communicator.

However, there was no gasp, only surprise: "Lin Xiaosu passed on this method to you?"

"What do you mean Lin Xiaosu passed it on to me?" Ding Dong was furious: "Under the whole world, only I have the potential to complete this eternal mission!"

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

Ding Dong stared in disbelief, touched his face, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Really?"

“It’s normal that you don’t know, since no one outside has ever witnessed the Wing Blade’s third form firsthand…” Xueying said, “But you’re not wrong either. Qianlong desperately needs to know this method. Where are you right now? I’ll come pick you up!”

"I'm...I'm in Lin Xiaosu's hometown! I'm contemplating whether or not to run him over with my car!" Ding Dong gritted his teeth. "That bastard, yesterday he was seriously praising me as a genius, but actually he was waiting for me to praise him as a genius among geniuses...My sister, she's been fucked by a ghost..."

Ding Dong is currently in top form, seemingly invincible.

However, Xueying's few words completely dispelled his anger.

Because he suddenly realized that the huge breakthrough he was so proud of had actually already been surpassed. He was no longer the second-best. Even if he did successfully break through to the third form of the Wing Blade, he would only have followed in Lin Xiaosu's footsteps...

Having failed to impress the white-haired girl, the纨绔 (playboy) Ding was somewhat dejected...

Lin Xiaosu returned to the detective agency.

Inside the detective 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!"

"Mmm!" Lin Xiaosu gave her a gentle hug.

Miao Ruolan leaned closer to him, snuggled against him, and went past him to pour him tea.

A cup of tea was handed to him, and Miao Ruolan said, "More money has just been deposited into your account."

"How many?"

"It reached ten million the day before yesterday, and just now it reached five million." Miao Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiaosu knew about these two sums of money.

Ten million—that's the great achievement Lin Xiaosu made in the Southwest Theater Command. Killing the Earth Beast and eliminating the Holy Lord of Litian was too much to calculate in detail. It can be directly converted into two top-level missions, and the two maximums would only amount to ten million.

The five million that just arrived today must have been from yesterday's raid on the Utopia Lord.

It's also capped at five million.

Miao Ruolan looked out at the street and lowered her voice: "Xiao Su, this year alone, we have earned more than 70 million in revenue. It's really a bit scary. And the payments from 101 are all tax-free."

"Tax-free?" Lin Xiaosu was a little surprised: "Qianlong is quite thoughtful, they actually exempted it from tax."

"Well, I have something to discuss with you." Miao Ruolan sat down next to him.

"what's up?"

"It's still about the shares. How about you give me an unprecedentedly high salary... Don't roll your eyes, how about a million? A million-dollar annual salary is at the very top of the pyramid, no matter where you are," Miao Ruolan said.

"No! We don't have the final say on this. The law clearly states that we have equal shares, so it's 50/50!"

"But...but you did all the work."

"I've already taken care of your people, why are you still arguing about who did the work?"

Miao Ruolan blushed...

Lin Xiaosu began to reason with him: "As the saying goes, money corrupts men. If you give me all your money, I'll definitely go bad. You don't want me to go bad, do you?"

Miao Ruolan nestled into his arms, grabbed his hand, and gently bit it: "I'm not worried about that. You're the worst person to begin with, how much worse can you be?"

Saying this between young couples seems to be a bit indulgent.

Lin Xiaosu's hand slipped under her clothes.

Miao Ruolan quickly pressed it down, chuckling, "Actually, I've become a little bad too."

"Huh? Really? My Ruolan can turn bad?"

Miao Ruolan blinked: "Really, I did something really bad a few days ago... I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, okay..."

She started talking about her bad points.

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

Didn't her brother go on a blind date with a woman at the end of last year?

The woman asked for a bride price of 388,000 yuan.

At the time, her parents were so worried that they almost lost their hair. Miao Ruolan gave her mother 40 yuan as a bride price, and the other side was very happy. The marriage was settled just like that.

However, I never expected that my future sister-in-law's family would be so insatiable.

When her family was discussing the wedding, they started causing trouble. One minute they said they wanted to buy a house in the provincial capital, the next they wanted to buy a house in the county town, then they wanted to increase the bride price, saying that one of her best friends had given a bride price of 50 yuan, and then they proposed five or eight gold items, saying that this was the way it was now.

The parents were completely overwhelmed.

I think this daughter-in-law has too big an appetite; she's a bottomless pit.

If the engagement is called off like this, the other party will not return the betrothal gifts.

We went along with her in everything because we didn't have that much money, and we didn't know where her boundaries were.

When the mother told Miao Ruolan about it, both women at the detective agency got angry.

Zhou Xi said at the time, "Our detective agency has solved so many difficult cases. How could it be my turn and I still can't solve this? No, I have to think of a way."

The two women plotted all night and came up with a very bad plan.

Miao Ruolan gave her mother 300 million yuan and asked her to deposit it in a post office bank.

The teller at the Postal Savings Bank happened to be my future sister-in-law's best friend, and she kept urging my sister-in-law to keep asking for money.

The mother pretended not to know her and deposited the huge sum of money in her hands, in her own name.

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

Following her and Zhou Xi's arrangement, her brother treated his sister-in-law with indifference.

My sister-in-law got anxious and went to her house on her own initiative, showing great enthusiasm to her parents.

Following Miao Ruolan's arrangement, her parents neither rejected her nor were particularly enthusiastic towards her. Meanwhile, Zhou Xi arranged for a matchmaker to visit, pretending not to know her sister-in-law, to introduce her brother to a potential wife, saying that the woman was perfect for settling down and not as demanding as women these days...

My sister-in-law listened to the whole thing, her face turning red and then dark with each passing moment.

After that, my sister-in-law's family made a complete 180-degree turn in attitude.

Without discussing any conditions, they directly urged the two to get married as soon as possible. The date has already been set for May Day next year. Currently, the sister-in-law is staying at her parents' house, helping them with chores every day. She seems very virtuous and kind...
