Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 437 Mom is sniping someone on the banana path
The next day.

After being thoroughly slept on Da Shi's chest, Zhang Ze, feeling refreshed, got dressed.

Zhang Ze sighed inwardly, thinking that this innate Dao Body was indeed a divine skill, as it could repeatedly refresh its state and its endurance far exceeded that of the past.

If it weren't for other important matters, taking a few more days off would be a piece of cake.

Holding a cup of Golden Jade Goji Berry Tea, Zhang Ze strode over to the Thousand Machines Magic Artifact.

The crystal that Zhang Ze put into the Thousand Machines Magic Artifact yesterday has been refined and is currently undergoing final nurturing. The results should be available in a few more quarters of an hour.

To ensure stability, Zhang Ze summoned the magic array and adjusted several array symbols to make it more stable.

While I was doing the inspection, my junior sister's voice rang out from behind me.

"Senior brother, break a boulder with your chest."

Zhang Ze: "Didn't we already sleep together? Why are you here again?"

"No, that's not it!" the junior sister said shyly. "It really was about breaking the boulder. I genuinely wanted to give you a good performance, but you were so impatient last night."

She spat lightly and beckoned Zhang Ze over.

Zhang Ze, unaware of what was going on, walked over, sat down at the stone table, and waited to watch the new program.

Logically speaking, to break a large stone on one's chest, one would need not only the chest but also a large stone and a hammer, but Zhang Ze looked around for a long time and couldn't find either of these items.

"Where's the hammer?" Zhang Ze asked.

"What do you need a hammer for? Your chest is enough. Watch closely, senior brother." The junior sister held her hands in front of her, raised them, and then brought them down.

With a muffled thud, Zhang Ze stared blankly at the stone table in front of him, where cracks began to spread.

A moment later, the stone table was reduced to pieces.

"I'm amazing, right, senior brother!" the junior sister said happily.

Zhang Ze looked at Chen Qin with a complicated expression and reached out to touch her forehead.

It's icy cold, not like a fever, but why has it become so abstract?

"Is this some new way to play?" Zhang Ze's expression remained complicated.

"What are you thinking? This is the acquired Dao Body! I've mastered it too!" the junior sister said proudly.

Zhang Ze's expression became even more complicated.

The sign of entering the Dao Body after birth is to transform a small part of the body into a Dao Body; however, there is no fixed number for which part.

So, it's not necessarily wrong for the junior sister to do it this way.
“I understand the reasoning, but why use this program to demonstrate it?” Zhang Ze gently raised his hand and restored the shattered stone table in front of him.

"Because I can only transform here, I'd be shy showing it to you directly. Besides, I have nowhere else to show it to you." The junior sister made a hand seal and transformed back.

Zhang Ze reached out to check, and it was indeed back to normal.

His junior sister's words were indeed reasonable and well-founded, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute them even after thinking about it for a long time.

In the end, he couldn't help but wonder how much responsibility he should bear for his junior sister's increasingly abstract behavior.

Oh well, let it be.

In the end, Zhang Ze could only reply dryly, "It's changed for the better. Don't change it next time. I still prefer the original."

The junior sister pouted, seemingly very dissatisfied with Zhang Ze's reaction.

Judging from her expression, it seemed like she wanted to touch him again.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze took a step back, preparing to run away.

Just then, a beep sounded behind them, and the crystal that had been refined all night was freshly made.

Having found a pretext, Zhang Ze raised his hand and snatched the crystal, also taking the entire set of Thousand Machine Magic Artifacts into his palm.

"I have to go out for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Zhang Ze turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

When Zhang Ze opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the entrance of the System House. After verifying his identity, Zhang Ze went down to the bottom.

According to Fu Ji's reliable intelligence, her mother-in-law and Sect Leader Lu are hiding in this place, studying a telescope.

The specific progress is still unknown.

All we know is that their general idea was to first create a space completely isolated from spiritual energy and the influence of the earth and sea, and then place the telescope inside it.

This is to shield spiritual energy from the influence of mortal practices.

Zhang Ze came at this time to present the treasure for this purpose.

Walking down the silvery-white corridor, the crystal in Zhang Ze's hand reflected a faint white light, inside which was sealed a small chip.

It was just made.

……

Besides Luoyu Mountain, Baidi City also preserves many technologies from the old era.

However, although Xiangxiang and the Celestial Spirits borrowed some ideas from it, due to the limitations of spiritual energy, their technology has evolved into something completely contrary to the original technology, and quite sinister.

An orphaned technology system that can't function without the Protoss.

As for the little bit of ancient technology they unearthed and the inspiration they got from Zhang Ze, all Xiangxiang and the others did was preserve it.

Until recently, these technologies have been rediscovered due to the presence of sky barriers and telescopes.

Although he didn't know how far his mother-in-law and the others had progressed, Zhang Ze felt that in that environment where spiritual energy was isolated and magic was abandoned, a computer should be of great use.

It should be useful for both calculations and surveying.

As for the many missing key technologies, that's not a problem. Zhang Ze didn't want to restore the entire technology tree; he only needed the results.

Therefore, he plans to replace many intermediate production steps with cultivation techniques.

These things that are produced will not be damaged by spiritual energy as long as they are not activated.

Holding the crystal in his hand, Zhang Ze felt confident that the Thousand Machines Lithography Machine he had handcrafted, along with this chip sample, would surely earn praise from his mother-in-law and further enhance her impression of him.

Thinking this to himself with a sense of satisfaction, Zhang Ze bumped into Xiangxiang, who was wafting out from a side road.

It wasn't exactly a collision, because Zhang Ze passed right through Xiangxiang's projection.

"Um, weren't you in Changzhou? When did you come back?" Zhang Ze was taken aback.

Xiangxiang: "As long as there's a port, I can be anywhere."

Zhang Ze: "So where are you going this time?"

"Go deliver the game." Xiangxiang pointed to a round magical artifact floating behind her.

Zhang Ze, "?"

Zhang Ze didn't understand, just like he couldn't understand his junior sister's chest breaking a boulder.

Xiangxiang was too lazy to explain. She made a gesture, indicating that Zhang Ze should come with her.

As he was walking, Zhang Ze suddenly thought of a question, "Speaking of which, since you can appear anywhere as long as you have a port, why do you need to use floating to walk?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiangxiang replied, "In order to maintain my identity, I can only do some inefficient and useless work to pretend that I am a person, so as not to forget who I really am."

Zhang Ze, "..."

"Don't blame yourself, I'm used to it." Xiangxiang pretended to pat Zhang Ze on the shoulder to comfort him.

After passing through several more doors, the two arrived at a newly opened circular hall.

The mother-in-law and Sect Leader Lu are drinking tea there.

After Zhang Ze stepped forward and bowed in greeting, he placed the chip, some design drawings, and the small box containing the hand-made lithography machine on the table.

However, after a cheerful introduction, Zhang Ze noticed that both of their elders had expressionless faces.

He doesn't seem interested in this matter.

A moment later, Mo Jingchun put down his teacup and looked at the table. "That's it?"

Zhang Ze: "Yeah, that's it... Is this not good enough?"

"So-so," Mo Jingchun said, shaking his head.

As soon as she finished speaking, several materials appeared out of thin air in her hand, and then these materials were directly refined and combined together.

At the same time, the tiny sword energy was precisely controlled to the extreme, and under the precise cutting, countless fine lines were engraved on it.

“Yours won’t do. The 1.4 is too ordinary. It’s not as good as my 0.1.” Mo Jingchun tossed the chip, which he had actually hand-crafted, into Zhang Ze’s hand.

"Silly boy, you don't think we're really ancient relics, do you? We've already thought of what you're thinking of. Come, let me show you something." Sect Master Lu put down his teacup and chuckled.

Lu Yuzhou stood up, snapped his fingers, and the metal plate in the middle rose up.

The hall is divided into three levels, each separated by metal plates and opaque crystals. The outermost level serves as a transition, the middle level is equipped with a magic array, and each level is entirely made of spiritual materials.

A man-made, spirit-free place, the highest level of that.

As the crystal gradually became transparent, Zhang Ze was able to see what was inside.

In the very heart of this high-class place, besides a huge telescope that was in its early stages of development, there were also two 'computers' in the corner.

The kind that comes with a mouse and keyboard?
Zhang Ze looked at the chip in his hand, then at the two computers, and was momentarily puzzled.

What am I here for?
"This……"

Lu Yuzhou ignored him and turned to look at Xiangxiang instead, "Did you find it?"

"Found it." A strange-looking 'USB flash drive' flew out from the metal magic artifact floating behind Xiangxiang.

Lu Yuzhou took it and waved to signal them to follow.

Zhang Ze turned to look at Xiangxiang, 'Why didn't you remind me?'

Xiangxiang shrugged innocently. 'You didn't say why you were coming, what could I do?'

Zhang Ze, "..."

After passing through the three-ring barrier, Zhang Ze, looking completely bewildered, followed them into the very center of the Spirit-Slaying Land.

Under Zhang Ze's complex gaze, the two skillfully turned on the computer, sat down, and plugged in two USB drives. A moment later, a small figure holding a gun appeared on the screen.

Zhang Ze, "?"

"What exactly is going on?" Zhang Ze asked Xiangxiang in a low voice.

"You two are bored, aren't you? Because all the operations require isolating spiritual energy, you've been staying inside lately. But a lot of the adjustments have to be done at night, so there's really nothing to do during the day. They don't want to go in and out too often, so they asked me to help them find some fun," Xiangxiang said, her hands tucked into her sleeves.

Zhang Ze: "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking where these two computers came from?"

"One of them was made by me, and the other was copied by two people."

"As for why I did this, it's because I was bored."

As she said this, Xiangxiang felt a pang of nostalgia.

"There are many manuscripts left behind by you in your previous life in Baidi City, which contain a lot of strange knowledge and ideas."

"I started to teach myself because I was bored, and I wanted to restore it. Although I am not smart, I have enough time, so it is not difficult to restore it."

"Of course, it will definitely be different from what you know, and it won't be exactly the same."

"However, although many things have been created, they have never been very useful. After all, these things explode as soon as they are activated outside the Land of Annihilation, and frankly speaking, their efficiency is far inferior to that of the Star God and traditional magic artifacts."

“Maintaining a place devoid of spirits for a long time is not an easy task, so I sealed all these things away.”

“Until yesterday, I saw that the two of you spent the day inside drinking tea and bickering, which seemed quite boring, so I brought out this thing that you call a computer.”

Zhang Ze nodded silently, watching the little figure controlled by his mother-in-law on the screen walk into the banana lane with a sniper rifle, only to be shot in the head...

"Speaking of which, with our current capabilities, we should be able to create a magical artifact version, right? If we sell them, we should be able to make money. Didn't you think about that before?" Zhang Ze suddenly asked.

Zhang Ze thought he could open an internet cafe when he had some free time. After all, the school already had one, so having another internet cafe would make it more complete.

Zhang Ze's thoughts drifted further and further away, and he began to think about how much a bucket of instant noodles should cost.

Xiangxiang's voice brought Zhang Ze back to reality.

“I have thought about it, but Baidi City and Zhendong Merchant Guild are not short of money, and... because this is your secret, I don’t actually want too many outsiders to know.”

“However,” Xiangxiang then said with a smile, “if you want, then it’s up to you. Lily and I will discuss it another day; she should be quite interested in this.”

As the two were talking, Mo Jingchun was already cornered at the spawn point by Sect Master Lu.

If the monitor hadn't been borrowed, and if she hadn't had to go out to remake it by hand, and if she hadn't had to suppress her cultivation here, she probably would have smashed it to pieces with a single punch.

'So... even Mahayana cultivators have weaknesses when suppressing their cultivation.'

'This gun is too soft.'

Zhang Ze suddenly thought of it.

He gave Xiangxiang a look, signaling us to leave first, so as not to get into trouble here.

But before he could run away, Zhang Ze was called back.

"You go! You have to win!" Mo Jingchun stood up and gestured for Zhang Ze to sit down.

Losing is acceptable, but losing to Lu Yuzhou is unacceptable. We must win today. If we don't win, we'll ban this game tomorrow and let Xiangxiang switch to a new one.

Zhang Ze reluctantly sat down, familiarized himself with the area, and, feeling the return of his fat memories, began to move the mouse.

……

Half an hour later.

"Go away! Adults are chatting, kids shouldn't interrupt. Go, go, go."

Sect Leader Lu, who was stuck at the spawn point and unable to get out, pointed at Zhang Ze and told him to get out of the way.

They got desperate after losing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze felt relieved, quickly got up from his seat, chuckled, and hurriedly left.

It's too difficult. You can't win too much, and you can't openly throw the game. It's simply not a job for a human being.

As he was leaving, he glanced at his mother-in-law and noticed that she seemed to have figured out something when she watched him play. Now the two of them were evenly matched.

Judging from the situation, no one is allowed to disembark today until a winner is determined.

"Games are harmful."

Zhang Ze sighed inwardly and stepped out of the outermost isolation array.

He had barely stepped outside, and before he had taken two steps, the small walnut at his waist began to vibrate wildly.

It was a missed call from my junior sister.

There are so many messages, it seems like something urgent has happened.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ze asked.

"It's my brother's business!" the junior sister's voice rang out.

"For some reason, Senior Zhu Luo's tortoise shell has lost its effectiveness and no longer responds to my elder brother."

"So because my brother has been too arrogant these past few days, after those old men found out about it, they set up a plan to beat him up."

"My older brother is currently being beaten up at Haihukou, 300 miles away. What is Mom doing? Can she help him?"

Even through the small walnut, Zhang Ze could hear the sound of magical artifacts cutting through the air, as well as the strange, garbled laughter of some old man.

Judging from the sounds, the battle is quite intense.

Zhang Ze glanced back at the Spirit-Slaying Array. "Our mom's pretty busy right now. She's sniping at Sect Master Lu on the Banana Road."

Junior sister, "?"

Zhang Ze didn't want to explain because he found it troublesome, but just as he was about to go and complain to get help, his junior sister suddenly said that everything was fine.

"No need to bother Mom, let her focus on sniping, okay?"

Zhang Ze: "Hmm? Someone stepped in to help?"

Junior sister: "No, it's already over."

Zhang Ze, "..."

"I hope he's alright," Zhang Ze prayed for his brother-in-law.

But then again, what happened to Zhu Luo?

There should have been a response.

What happened in Changzhou again?
Zhang Ze looked at Xiangxiang, who made an OK sign and disappeared without a trace.
