Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 276 He's done all sorts of bad things!

"Has Second Sister-in-law ever seen or discovered those research institutes?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"I guess you could say we've met before," Kun Youniang said, sounding somewhat strange.

"Uh, what do you mean by 'we've met before'?" Wu Xian, Xue Lingling, and Xue Zhengying looked at each other in confusion.

Kun Youniang pondered for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Back then, I actually escaped from an abandoned research institute."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.

"what?"

Xue Zhengying was inexplicably furious, and her heartache was almost overflowing.

"Although I was just an insignificant experimental subject in their eyes back then," Kun Youniang said coldly, "I will settle accounts with you sooner or later for all the pain and torment you suffered."

"So why was that research institute abandoned back then?" Wu Xian asked seriously.

"They messed up by themselves," Kun Youniang said gleefully. "They created a world-destroying insectoid monster, and apart from a few that barely managed to escape, they all ended up as my mother's food."

"Mother?" Everyone was surprised.

“It’s that world-destroying insectoid monster,” Kun Youniang explained. “Back then, the insectoids in the research institute were basically all children of their mothers, and I was no exception.”

Xue Lingling asked with concern, "What happened to Second Sister-in-law's mother in the end? Is she still alive?"

"After killing those guys, Mother, with her last shred of consciousness, disintegrated and returned to the world of the Zerg."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

"The higher-ups have really done all sorts of bad things!" Xue Zhengying gritted his teeth.

Kun Youniang calmly added, "The research institute doesn't only have us Zerg; there are also some humans who have been captured for experiments. As experimental subjects, they are in a much worse situation than us."

"..."

Wu Xian and his companions felt a chill run down their spines.

It seems that those in the upper echelons have completely lost their humanity.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. They all consider themselves gods, so naturally they wouldn't treat the lower classes as human beings.

Take the Wang family for example. To treat them like dogs is already a great "gift" in the eyes of the upper class.

……

Back to the small villa in the North Block.

It took Wu Xian a long time to recover from the nausea he felt at the top.

But he also understood that the task of conquering the upper echelons was arduous and long-term, so he would take it slowly.

He took out his phone, logged into the forum he had arranged with the two spies, and after searching for a while, he found the intelligence left by the two spies, which were mostly the locations of abandoned research institutes.

Wu Xian originally intended to do it himself.

But after realizing that those core data points were of little value to him, there was no need to go through all that trouble.

He immediately contacted his second brother, Xue Zhengying, and shared the information with him.

As a powerful demon from another world, Second Sister-in-law Kun Youniang must have some connections in various other worlds, and the powerful demons in those worlds should be very interested in this information.

As for the two spies, with the Day and Night Scouts on their side and prior knowledge of the situation, there was naturally nothing to worry about.

After arranging everything, Wu Xian began to meticulously "carve" the [Divine Power Fragment] left behind by the sinister man.

After all, it is a framework of laws and forces that has developed "naturally," so it is impossible for it to completely fit one's own ideas, but overall it is still very similar and fits well.

Remove the useless laws and retain the framework of laws that are useful to you.

As for the subsequent replenishment of the power of the laws, that is not something he can directly control; he still has to follow the process of drawing the extraordinary scroll.

"Tiger-related materials, dragon-related materials, lion-related materials, dog-related materials, and I also need to add some materials related to the Qilin. It's not going to be easy!"

Although you have the [Divine Power Fragment] as the core, the quality of other materials also needs to be up to par in order to create the Jade Scroll.

Regarding the conception of the scroll, with the blessing of incense and faith, it should be achievable. Moreover, as my first jade scroll, I must treat it with utmost seriousness.

I spent the whole night organizing my thoughts and finalizing the draft.

The next day, I went to the club and searched for suitable materials on Taobao.

The value of the Hero Points Shop is undeniable, but I don't have enough Hero Points to go around.

"Master Sister, I'm still missing some crucial materials. Could you lend me some Hero Points?" Wu Xian cheerfully approached his beautiful and intelligent master sister.

Unlike him, who was a spendthrift, his master sister was quite thrifty when it came to using hero points.

After all, there's only one set of ideas for drawing scrolls, so the demand for high-end materials is limited.

[Underworld + Peach Blossom Mountain] We earned so many Hero Points that Master Sister can't possibly spend them all.

"..." Xue Lingling said irritably, "What? Preparing your jade scroll ideas?"

"Yes."

"Hmph! I don't even have a jade scroll yet, and you're making things difficult for me!" Xue Lingling pouted.

"What are you saying? What's mine is yours, isn't it?" Wu Xian said righteously. "What era are we in that we're still distinguishing between 'mine' and 'others'?"

"But I just feel unbalanced."

Wu Xian pounced on him and pinned him down on the bed, smacking his lips a few times. "Are you balanced now?"

Xue Lingling blushed and hurriedly chased Wu Xian out of the palace.

Not long after, looking at the 100,000 Hero Points that had been credited to his account in the League of Legends profile, Wu Xian was filled with emotion.

Who would have thought that one day I would be reduced to "selling my body"?

Fortunately, it was a good deal.

Go back and wander around the eerie abyss a few more times, and get a suitable [Divine Power Fragment] for your master sister as compensation, and that's it.

Back on the league equipment, I happily placed my order.

Soon after, several pieces of material that I liked were submitted.

On the network side, the Four Seas Dragon Palace card pool has also officially launched its open beta today, but its popularity is only so-so.

After all, the gacha system relies entirely on the support of the people of Yaoyang City, and Yaoyang City does not have the dimensional rift of the Endless Sea.

No problem, the rewards from the last elite raid are ready, and several technicians from the Alliance have arrived to begin constructing the [Endless Sea] portal.

On the card pool side, Wu Xian also put the [Endless Seas Entry Ticket] in.

From now on, adventurers in Yaoyang City will no longer need to travel far to reach the Endless Sea; they can go directly from their homes.

After discussing with his mentor, they decided to set up the Endless Sea Teleportation Gate in the plaza outside the club.

"Speaking of which, why are you masters only arriving now?" Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously.

The lead technician complained helplessly, "What else could it be? The intercity space corridor is still closed, and we don't know when it will ever be reopened."

"Is there any accurate information from the alliance?" Wu Xian has been having a headache about this lately.

“Absolutely not,” the lead technician shook his head. “In my opinion, intercity space corridors are probably going to become history.”

Wu Xian took a deep breath. If that were really the case, things would be troublesome later.

"In my opinion, this was entirely the work of that [Emperor of the Void]. Otherwise, why are the other spatial teleportation devices unaffected? Why is it that only the intercity spatial passage is unusable?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian fell into deep thought.

I just can't understand what the purpose of [Emperor of the Sky] is in doing this?
Is it simply to annoy the higher-ups, or is it a covert way to restrict something?
While he was pondering, Du Yifan sneaked over and gestured for him to speak in private.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"Can't I see things that others can't see now?" Du Yifan hesitated. "I don't know if it's just my imagination or what, but I always feel that something is wrong around the City God Temple. I can see strange things from time to time."
