Chapter Ninety-Three: The Third Imperial Research Institute

Shuangye led the way with elegant steps at the front, while Luo Tian followed half a step behind.

The demonic sword silently hovered beside Luo Tian, ​​its hilt slowly shimmering with a scarlet color, and its booming sound, like the beating of a heart, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

The main purpose of going to the Third Imperial Research Institute today is still to cause trouble. Although the Sword Demon's boost to Luo Tian's combat power is not significant, it can still prevent some minor troubles.

At the very least, Luo Tian could have stopped himself when using the demonic sword, preventing him from destroying the entire research institute in one fell swoop.

The location where the magic-powered hovercar stopped was not far from the Third Research Institute. After only a few steps, Luo Tian saw a building with a metallic texture in front of him.

It was only the size of a manor on the surface, and didn't seem very large. But in reality, Luo Tian could sense that most of the Third Research Institute's buildings were buried underground. The words "Third Research Institute of the Empire" were clearly written at the main entrance of the buildings on the surface.

As Luo Tian and Shuang Ye approached the Third Research Institute, the heavily armed guards at the entrance noticed them, pointed their magic-powered guns at them, and issued a stern warning:

"This is a restricted area of ​​the research institute; entry by any outsiders is strictly prohibited!"

Shuangye didn't speak, but with a flick of her right hand, a golden token with the words "Palace" written on it appeared in her hand.

The two guards were taken aback. One of them immediately rushed into the research institute, while the other remained standing in place, but the gun he had raised was now lowered.

Two minutes later, a man wearing a white lab coat and round-framed glasses, with an extremely round figure, suddenly rushed out of the research institute. The agility he displayed was completely opposite to his size.

"So it turns out we have distinguished guests from the imperial court. Please forgive us for not greeting you properly!"

"My name is He Mo, and I am currently serving as the deputy director of the Third Research Institute."

"Your Highness, does the Lady of the Palace Maid have graced us with your presence at the Third Research Institute today? Does Your Highness have some urgent business to attend to?"

He Mo's eyes narrowed to slits, and his chubby face displayed an unusual sense of comicality.

He first focused his gaze on the token and clothing in Shuangye's hand, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes before glancing at Luo Tian, ​​completely ignoring the knight at Luo Tian's feet.

Then, He Mo's face showed some difficulty, and he said to Shuang Ye:

"Please forgive my rudeness, but the Third Research Institute is currently completing a very important research project. If Your Highness needs the Third Research Institute to handle certain matters, it may need to be postponed for some time."

Although He Mo's attitude was very respectful, his refusal was all too obvious.

Whether Yin Qianyu can secure her throne after returning to the capital remains to be seen, so it's perfectly normal for He Mo, as a neutral party, not to want to have contact with her.

Even so, he still left some room for maneuver in his words, not saying anything definitive to avoid angering the palace maid in front of him.

It should be understood that each palace maid represents Yin Qianyu's will to some extent. Although they may not have high strength or status, they wield considerable influence. He Mo did not want to get into any trouble.

After giving a slight nod in greeting, Shuangye said in a calm tone:

"Director He Mo is overthinking it. I am not here for His Highness, but to make a deal with Director He Mo."

He Mo's gaze sharpened instantly, and his voice held a hint of hesitation as he said:

"What deal?"

"A deal concerning the path to godhood researched by the Third Research Institute."

He Mo looked troubled, neither agreeing nor refusing outright, but instead changed the subject and said:

"In fact, this lady of the palace should know what the purpose of our research on the path to godhood is."

All the nobles want to take this opportunity to curry favor with a person who has the potential to become a true god. Our research institute is not short of funds, so I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint Your Excellency, the court maid.

Shuangye's expression remained unchanged as she said:

“I know the financial strength of the Third Research Institute, so the transaction I’m talking about is not just about money, but something much more important.”

"Something more important?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in He Mo's eyes.

"A Saint-level swordsman from another world can participate in your experiment, along with three sword manuals from other worlds."

"I wonder if Director He Mo will be satisfied with this offer?"

Upon hearing this, He Mo's face immediately lit up with surprise, and his eyes, which had been narrowed to slits, widened considerably.

He stared intently at Shuangye, his voice slightly urgent as he asked:

"Have these three secret texts been included in the Imperial Register?"

Shuangye gently shook her head, her tone remaining calm as she said:

"These three secret manuals come from the Xianxia civilization and have not been included in the imperial register. Director He Mo should be aware of their value."

After receiving an affirmative answer, He Mo laughed heartily, immediately changing his previous respectful yet subtly reluctant attitude, and his tone became full of eagerness:

"Please come in, sir. We can discuss the specifics in detail inside the research institute."

"What are you two doing here? Hurry up and go inside to tell them to get ready!"

At He Mo's invitation, Luo Tian followed Shuang Ye into the Third Research Institute.

In fact, whether it was the Saint Realm swordsman mentioned by Shuangye as a test subject, or the three sword dao secret manuals from the Xianxia world, they were all bait that Luo Tian had discussed with Shuangye beforehand, in order to actively lure out the big fish of the Third Research Institute.

If we just charge straight in, it would be too brutal and would also defeat the purpose of the little maid witnessing the truth.

Therefore, Luo Tian made empty promises, verbally offering what the Third Research Institute needed most right now. Whether it was experimental subjects or other extraordinary system texts, they were all crucial to completing the research on the path to godhood.

Stepping through the gates of the Third Research Institute, everything in sight is silver-white, as if entering a world constructed of metal.

After crossing a long corridor and entering the institute, Luo Tian could see a large number of staff members in research coats hurrying along with documents in their hands, and various data displayed on the sophisticated instruments all around.

Above the hall, monitors and projectors displayed images from various small laboratories, where staff dissected supernatural creatures, conducted preliminary supernatural system experiments using animals as a reference, and presented the final results to the experimental headquarters.

Everything before my eyes appeared so orderly and without the slightest hint of anything unusual.

There were no brutal human experiments as one might imagine, no horrific and bloody corpses; everything was so calm and reasonable.

Even before dissecting the extraordinary creatures, the staff would solemnly bow to them, exuding an aura of craftsmanship.

In this environment, Shuangye couldn't help but look at Luo Tian with a suspicious gaze.

This action was keenly observed by He Mo, who smiled eagerly and asked Shuang Ye:

"I wonder if I have the honor of knowing the names of those three classic texts on the immortal and martial arts civilization?"

Chapter Ninety-Four: They're all just consumables!

Shuangye was startled. The idea of ​​fishing was just something Luo Tian casually mentioned to her; the two had not had any substantial discussion about it.

Normally, transactions at this level require multiple rounds of negotiation and profit-sharing before those items can be presented. Therefore, no substantial Xianxia sword manuals are needed in the early stages, so Shuangye didn't care.

But who would have thought that He Mo would suddenly change his mind and ask to know the names of the three classic books, which immediately put Shuang Ye in a difficult position.

It should be noted that the extraordinary classics of the Xianxia civilization are among the rarest in the Star World, and there are only a handful of Xianxia classics even within the entire Third Research Institute.

It's not just because these classic texts are rare; more importantly, the Xianxia civilization emphasizes cultivation techniques and methods. Even within the same type of text, each can form its own distinct school, making its completeness far surpass the extraordinary texts of other civilizations.

If one is to create an extraordinary system, the classic texts of the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) civilization are undoubtedly the best source of reference.

However, the classics of the Xianxia civilization are logically rigorous and have corresponding professional terms. Ordinary people may not even be able to make up the names, let alone understand the content.

Shuangye had some understanding of He Mo, who was a researcher, but she was at a loss because it would be too easy for him to see through her improvisation of a name on the spot.

"This...the transaction hasn't even officially started yet, why is Director He Mo in such a hurry?"

"That's not quite right. I just wanted to know the names of these books, not to pry into their contents. If you were truly interested in making a deal, why were you being so secretive?"

He Mo's narrowed eyes gleamed slightly as he glanced discreetly at a researcher beside him.

The researcher nodded slightly, then turned and left the institute's lobby.

Completely stumped, Shuangye looked embarrassed and could only stammer in response:

"The name of the book is..."

"The first classic book is 'Spring Thunder Startles the Sword'."

Luo Tian, ​​who had been standing behind Shuang Ye, suddenly spoke, calmly uttering a name before looking directly at He Mo and saying in a flat tone:

"The second and third classic books are the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Profound Sword Technique and the Great Evolution Transformation Impermanence Sword Technique, respectively."

He Mo's eyes widened in surprise, and he muttered to himself in astonishment:

"Spring thunder, Nine Heavens, Great Evolution... This is indeed the style of the Xianxia civilization."

But sir, how do you know the names of these classic texts?

"Because I made it up on the spot!" Luo Tian thought to himself.

In fact, Luo Tian himself did not expect He Mo to ask such detailed questions from the very beginning. Without communicating with Shuang Ye in advance, Luo Tian could only make up a story on the spot.

Fortunately, his years of experience as a fan of fantasy novels have left him with enough skill to concoct names that even real cultivators wouldn't be outdone, and he can still fool the natives of these star-studded worlds.

This was only because Luo Tian deliberately restrained himself. If he had directly fabricated something like the "Great Luo Dao Scripture," it would probably have scared He Mo half to death.

After all, in the extraordinary world, some words themselves possess extraordinary characteristics that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and they cannot even be spoken directly unless one's status reaches a certain level.

When Luo Tian mentioned the term "Da Luo" to Yin Qianyu, it attracted some unseen prying eyes, but the distance across many worlds was too far, so there was no result.

Overall, He Mo was currently fooled by the name Luo Tian had made up on the spot.

Faced with He Mo's question, Luo Tian continued to fabricate lies and asked in return, "I was the one who took out these books, so why can't I know about them?"

He Mo suddenly realized what was going on, then looked at Luo Tian and Shuang Ye, a meaningful smile on his face.

He originally thought Luo Tian was Shuang Ye's bodyguard and attendant, but judging from the current situation, the relationship between the two should be equal.

For He Mo, this situation is quite intriguing.

The palace maids under the Princess of the Empire have cooperative relationships with others. Is this the Princess's scheme, or is the Princess simply unpopular?

Such a thought only flashed through his mind, and He Mo then smiled and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, this was my mistake. I apologize and will present gifts to you both later!"

After speaking, He Mo bowed to the two of them and said:

"Since you two are sincere in this transaction, our Third Research Institute will naturally not neglect you. Next, we will give you a detailed introduction to the progress and improvements on the path to godhood."

Starting with the most basic disassembly and stitching of the extraordinary system, He Mo methodically gave a detailed introduction, handed over detailed experimental data to Luo Tian and Shuang Ye, and personally led the two to the experimental center.

"This is the Extraordinary Research Center of the Battle Qi System. Although the Battle Qi System is widely spread, the methods of squeezing life force are too crude, making it difficult to extract anything of value."

"This is the Martial Arts System Extraordinary Research Center. The Martial Arts System focuses on technique, and top experts can even touch upon the realm that is close to the Dao, but it is too difficult to promote. We can only select a part of it."

"This is the Extraordinary Research Center for the Magic System. Although many people are against incorporating magic into the extraordinary sword system, there was a sword master in the Star World who was able to wield a light cannon who once said that a light cannon is also a kind of swordsmanship. If you don't like it, don't learn it."

"This is the Extraordinary Research Center of the Martial Soul System..."
