Ming Dynasty: Gain one supernatural power every day

Zhu Gaoxi lay on the large rosewood bed, crafted with divine artistry, with a fluffy golden shaggy dog ​​nestled in his arms, and a cup of Mixue Ice Cream, freshly served from the gourmet dining table, sipping it casually through the straw.

After a day, he found that his subordinates were much more interesting than he had imagined. Zheng Cong's spiel about Qiu Sheng was so smooth, one joke after another, that he even wondered for a moment if they were also from another time.

But then I thought about it again and felt relieved. After all, he was a military officer, and most of them had this kind of personality. Like my second brother, he was straightforward and said what he meant, never holding back his words.

If it were a civil official, the situation would probably be quite different. Thinking about how the civil official group in the late Ming Dynasty completely ruined the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but shake his head. Oh well, I'm getting off-topic.

In fact, Zhu Di probably took this into consideration when he arranged these people.

These subordinates, in terms of ability, might not be able to provide the fourth prince with any particularly impressive services. The fourth prince himself is like a god, and no one can serve him. But at least they can provide emotional value.

Zhu Di had long realized that the fourth and second sons had the best relationship. On the surface, it was because the Prince of Han's residence was closest to the Prince of Rui's residence, but in reality, it was because the second son's witty and humorous words always made the fourth son laugh.

Therefore, when assigning officials, Zhu Di deliberately included several military officers. Military officers are honest and straightforward, and it's not tiring to work with them. As for civil officials, Yang Ji and Hu Ying were enough; they could handle paperwork and government affairs without being too boring.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in the Crown Prince's residence in Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Zhanji was staring blankly at the policy essay in front of him. He had spent the whole day thinking about how Zhanhe and the others were playing in the palace, eating snacks with their grandmother, seeing new pets, and frolicking in the Imperial Garden. Only he was locked in his study doing his homework.

"It's too hard, I can't do this problem... Waaah!" He looked down at the densely packed problems on the page, getting more and more annoyed. His little face scrunched up, and suddenly he slapped the table, wincing in pain.

It's not that the questions were too difficult, it's that the table was too hard and my hands hurt.

"Who can help me?" he cried, waving his hands, his eyes red, whether from pain or grievance, it was hard to tell.

If there were background music at this moment, it would probably be that song.

"Snow...flowers...drift...drift...the north wind howls."

Night had fallen, and the new post station at Caishiyi was quiet. Zhu Gaoxi lay in his bedroom on the second floor, the faint chirping of cicadas from the riverbank and the crackling of campfires burning in the distant camp drifting in through the window.

He closed his eyes, waiting for that familiar notification sound. The night watchman's drum sounded; it was three in the morning.

[Ding! It's time to check in for tomorrow. Do you wish to claim today's special ability?]

"receive."

[Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new supernatural ability—the Sound Transmission Technique.]

A translucent, pale gold panel surfaced deep within my consciousness.

Number of check-in days: 14

Acquired supernatural powers: Power of Creation, Immortal Body, Sword Control, Culinary Delight, Divine Craftsmanship, Rat Talisman Power, Light of Time, Myriad Heavenly Book, Somersault Cloud, Gourd Heaven, Monkey Talisman Power, Beast Taming, Divine Ascension to the Throne of the Nation, Telepathy.

Sound transmission technique

[Supernatural Power Effect: Boundless Heaven and Earth, Transmitting Sound Across Ten Thousand Miles. Sound can be transmitted using magical power or by carving array patterns onto external objects, enabling two-way sound transmission with ordinary people. (See WeChat for details)]

The panel surfaced deep within my consciousness.

He clicked on the detailed description, and his eyes lit up as he read.

This sound transmission technique is different from previous spells that could only transmit information one-way; it also includes a complete set of weapon crafting techniques.

To be precise, this is a simplified version of WeChat created by a disciple of a major immortal cultivation sect.

By engraving resonant array patterns on jade plaques, long-distance voice and video calls can be achieved through the resonance of these patterns, and videos can also be recorded.

It has four functions in total: voice chat, video chat, video recording, and a social media feed.

What's even more remarkable is the master-slave architecture of this jade pendant set, where one piece is the main control console and the rest are auxiliary devices.

Furthermore, jade plaques engraved with the same set of array patterns can be connected to each other, like creating a group chat on WeChat. This is great! We can create a group chat and call it "Happy Family," or "Loving Family," or "Zhu Family Courtyard." That would be wonderful.

The main console that the protagonist crafted allows him to view the chat history of all the attached jade tablets.

The jade tablets can also communicate with each other, covering a very wide area. As long as the signal is full within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, global coverage will not be a problem once the cultivation level is improved.

What's most astonishing is that this jade pendant can be used by ordinary people; it doesn't require spiritual power, just sun exposure is enough.

To facilitate intelligence gathering among mortals, the disciples of the cultivation sects specially designed the jade tokens to be usable as long as they absorbed enough sunlight each day, so that ordinary people could carry them around and use them as cell phones.

However, Zhu Gaoxi did not intend to tell anyone the secret of the control panel. He would be the first to know if anyone posted anything they shouldn't on their WeChat Moments. He enjoyed the thrill of peeping, hehehe, and hoped that Zhu would not catch him.

This thing is so useful. In the future, every general in the army will be equipped with one. Command and dispatch will no longer rely on messengers running around. If there is any problem, they can contact each other directly with the jade token. It's very convenient.

He scrolled down the instructions again, and his lips twitched when he saw the last line of small print.

It is said that the cultivation sect that developed this thing has recently even launched a cultivation loan business, where cultivation can be financed in installments and even offered at high interest rates.

Without further ado, Zhu Gaoxi sat up from the cloud bed, moved the golden gradient jade pendant to the side, and used his divine craftsmanship to create a batch of jade pendant blanks.

The jade pendant is small, about the size of a palm, with a mutton fat white jade base, warm and translucent, and fits perfectly in the hand.

He concentrated his mind, activated the method of sound transmission, and golden light condensed at his fingertips as he began to carve resonance array patterns one by one on the jade tablet.

The first batch consisted of several dozen pieces. I kept one main control panel for myself, and the rest were auxiliary jade tokens. I will distribute them to my father, second brother, and others first thing tomorrow morning. I can also give a few to Zhang Fu and his subordinates so that it will be easier to contact them.

The binding method is the same as before: just a blood oath, which is very convenient.

When the "We're a Loving Family" group chat is set up, things will get interesting.

He is the group owner, and he can see everyone's chat history from the control panel. He can see clearly what others post in the group and what they chat about in private.

The first person he wanted to keep a close eye on was his second brother. That rough and tough guy was a master at fighting and charging into battle, and his voice was so loud it could lift the roof off. He wanted to see what his second brother was like when he talked to his sister-in-law in private.

Don't let him be some greasy middle-aged man who sends his second sister-in-law mushy messages every day.

A picture suddenly popped into my mind.

Zhu Gaoxu, with his angular, stubble-covered square face, sneaked into the military tent and, using his bubbly voice, said to the jade pendant, "Are you there, baby?"

Just thinking about the contrast between his second brother's expression and his appearance made him burst out laughing.

Alright, time to rest. Goodnight, everyone.
