It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Xu Shi knew it too, so he pulled her over and kissed her without any hesitation, "Great."

If she isn't the little treasure, who else could be?

"I'm willing to do whatever you ask, no matter how tiring it is."

Jiang Chengcheng didn't shy away from it, and simply pressed her whole body against him, "It would be better if you could make me worry less..."

Everyone present was an acquaintance, and they didn't think anything of it. Instead, they all laughed happily, instantly filling the place with a happy atmosphere.

"Master, come and cut the ribbon, please?"

Yu Xingchuan handed over a pair of small scissors. It was necessary to have a sense of ceremony.

"it is good."

Xu Shi was a little impatient and completed the simple ceremony with a sharp knife.

"Signal tower, start!"

With his order, the huge steel machine was officially put into operation.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the connected virtual projection screen.

After a while, a voice gradually came from the instrument, "Hello?"

The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar, and soon, Su Lin's face became clear.

"can you hear me?"

Xu Shi was delighted and waved to her.

"...Master."

Su Lin could naturally hear it, and tried to hold back her joy, saying as calmly as possible, "Yeah, I can hear it."

"Okay, you just know that Sister Su Lin has forgotten me, right?"

Her voice was soon drowned out by a cheerful and happy little rabbit. Gu Yi forced her way in and took up most of the screen.

Miss Black Rabbit had sharp eyes and spotted Xie Qingyan standing next to Xu the Bastard at a glance.

Although she is a few years younger than the other person, she is an experienced person in this regard and can easily notice the difference between the other person.

This made her furious, "Okay, I knew it! It turned out that you planned to take her without me. You two are really in cahoots... humph!"

"Why, does this matter still need your approval?"

Xu Shi didn't let her get away with it, and he stretched out his hand to bully her.

The coward Gu Yi subconsciously shrank back, but quickly reacted, "Hahaha, it's a video now, you can't bully me! Come on, come on, lululu..."

Hey.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes. The little girl has grown up to be so capable that she even dares to mock him... Have you forgotten what happened before? Besides, do you think that buddy will never come back? I'll remember everything for you!

Xie Qingyan laughed when he saw this, "Hello, sister Gu Yi."

Why did I dislike this little girl before, but when I saw her again today, I thought she was very cute... Maybe it's because I'm in a different position and I look at things from a different perspective?

Even the last time the other party colluded with Xu Shi and deliberately angered her, the bitch had let it go. They might be sisters from now on... But I heard that this little girl is timid. If it were her, she would always be able to bully her, right?

She looked calm, and Miss Black Rabbit felt a little embarrassed. "Hello... Sister Qingyan?"

She was so familiar with Xu the bastard that she could not be more frank with him, but she was not so familiar with Xie Qingyan and for a moment she did not know what to say.

But she didn't have time to think, and she was soon thrown aside.

The person who lost her was Tang Shuang. Governor Tang looked at Xu Shi with a smile on his face. "Long time no see, Xu Shi."

In a small corner where no one noticed, there was Lin Yue huddled aside, looking at her master with a red face, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment - the time for communication was agreed upon, and they had been together for this very early.

"Huh? You guys..."

Xu Shi noticed something wrong. There was nothing wrong with Su Lin, Gu Yi and Tang Shuang being in the same frame, but with Lin Yue added, didn't that mean...

"Come on, you can hide your little thing for a while, but can you hide it forever?"

Tang Shuang rolled her eyes at him, "We all know about her... You really are a person who has no other skills but to bully little girls."

"No, not really..."

Lin Yue stammered as she tried to defend her master. She might have cared about what happened between the two of them in the past, but now it didn't matter to her anymore. Being able to see Xu Shi again was the best thing for her.

The atmosphere of the call was quite cheerful. Seeing both sides talking and laughing, Xu Shi also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

There is also a bit of melancholy mixed in. It should be said that it has been a long time since I went out to sea... Speaking of which, I feel that the girls who stayed in the Night Sin City have become much prettier, especially the little black rabbit. Although she still has a bit of bad aura, overall, she has really grown into a big girl...

The person opposite him had similar thoughts. Was it because they hadn't seen each other for too long? It seemed that Xu Shi was a little more handsome than before...

"Okay, let's talk about something serious."

Finally, it was Su Lin who interrupted them, her expression becoming serious, "Chengcheng told me earlier that something happened to the young master, what exactly happened?"

This was the first time they had a video call, but they had exchanged telegrams before, and they had all received news about the expedition against the Sea God, so naturally they wanted to get to the bottom of it now.

"This one……"

Although it was a safe bet in the end, the atmosphere inevitably becomes a bit heavy when talking about this.

"Xia Wuyou."

Director Su mentioned Xia Xiaomao's name, and it was very rare for him to call her by her name. "I asked you to protect the young master's safety, and this is what you did?!"

She is recognized by everyone as a wise woman. Although she may not talk about this on weekdays, when it comes to things related to Xu Shi, Su Lin will suddenly become extremely serious, not to mention that Xu Shi is in danger of his life this time, so her tone is already calm.

"I……"

Xia Wuyou didn't know how to explain. You said she didn't protect him? Of course not, but she did not save Xu Shi. If Xu Shi hadn't had his own ideas, he might have been in great danger this time.

This also made her feel a little aggrieved, and she dodged and dared not look Su Lin in the eye.

"Well, why do you blame her? Things are not what you think."

Xu Shi smiled and sighed, then pulled her over and said, "Listen to me, this is what happened at that time..."

It was obvious that Director Su didn't know everything before. After hearing Xu Shi's whole story, her brows gradually relaxed.

"...So that's it."

She also sighed, "It's true that Wuyou shouldn't be blamed. I was a little impatient."

"No, no, me too..."

Xia Wuyou waved his hands. This was not Sister Su Lin’s problem. If she wanted to blame her, she would blame herself for not being strong enough.

"I know, you don't need to explain."

Su Lin shook her head. "Isn't it the Master who should be blamed? I've told you that you're not good at fighting. If you encounter danger like this, you shouldn't rush to the front. I was a little worried before, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

The joyful conversation instantly turned into a nagging from her sister. That day, Xu Shi recalled the fear of being dominated by the old nanny...

"Anyway, I'm still a little worried."

After an unknown amount of nagging, Su Lin finally stopped preaching, "Now the route is clear... I think it's better for me to come over."

"I want to come too! I want to come too!" Gu Yi was the first to agree.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can take a vacation." Tang Shuang also said.

Lin Yue murmured in the back, "Me, me too..."

Even if you come, you can’t control me... Xu Shi muttered to himself.

He then asked about something he was concerned about, "I haven't asked you yet, what was the situation in Night Sin City when we were away?"

"We are going very smoothly here. The reconstruction of Sin City is basically completed, and the regulations jointly promoted by several consortiums have also begun to be implemented."

Su Lin pursed her lips, "Snake Ring and Prism have also made many improvements and updates to previous products, such as the Twin chip, which is now the fourth generation, and Sublimation... Let me show you the demonstration picture first, and the specific information can be transmitted later."

She was obviously well prepared, with all kinds of pictures available. She said she understood the situation, which was naturally mutual.

"You have worked hard too."

As the pictures passed by, I sighed softly.

All I can say is that no one is really giving up - a lot can be seen from the situation in Sin City alone. Before I left, only the basics had been completed there, but looking at it now, it feels like it is in no way inferior to the level of District 13 and above, and it looks prosperous.

It can be said that the entire Night Sin City has been greatly improved, which made him feel that keeping Su Lin to help with the construction was really the right choice.

Of course, Tang Shuang, Lin Yue and the others are also very capable, including Gu Yi you mentioned, they are all definite contributors.

He also took the opportunity to introduce everyone to Silver Pine Island and the situation of Pan Cheng's side. He called him along so that he could have a more intuitive feeling of what he could provide him, or what the specific things on Silver Pine Island were.

Pan Cheng was indeed shocked by this. No matter how good the previous description was, it was not as shocking as seeing the real Night Sin City.

This is completely like two different worlds from Silver Pine Island! Even the main city of the empire has many differences, or shortcomings and backwardness compared to them...

"Brother Xu, can these things be installed on Silver Pine Island?"

He also asked bluntly, "It doesn't have to be exactly the same as your city-state, but many places are really helpful to Silver Pine Island."

Before, Xu Shi only showed him part of it, or he could feel some of the things himself, such as circuits, and things like electric lights, which he had some understanding of.

At that time, he knew how valuable these things were to Yinsong Island. It was not that the Hualan Empire did not have similar facilities, but the energy used to activate them was completely different. The Hualan Empire's usual practice was to use liquid "divine breath" to activate them. The effect might not be obvious, but the cost was really high. Not to mention the people on the island, even he, the island owner, might not be able to afford it.

Including the communication method you mentioned, if it is driven by "divine breath", the formation has been so stable for so long, I'm afraid it will drain all his wealth...

"Of course."

Xu Shi smiled and signaled him not to worry. "I had considered this aspect when I laid the circuit, as well as water use and road access. I also have ideas for upgrading Yinsong Island. As for the details, such as how to do it and who we should send to help you, Brother Pan, don't worry. We can talk slowly."

"...Thank you, Brother Xu."

Pan Cheng was overjoyed. He knew very well how much these things would change Yinsong Island once they were completed.

Xu Shi smiled faintly. He had always regarded Pan Cheng as a trustworthy person. Besides, the sisters Feng and Ling were also his own and now his descendants, so of course he would help them as much as possible.

Moreover, transforming Yinsong Island into a base would be of great benefit to his subsequent deployments.

This is a complete win-win.

However, when it comes to the sisters Feng and Ling, their focus does not seem to be on this aspect.

Especially Pan Ling, the stupid apprentice who witnessed the whole process, now has only one thought in her mind.

Should we call all these people "shiniang" too? My goodness, Master, how many "shiniang" do you have... And the one called Gu Yi doesn't seem to be much older than me.

Then could it be that the master also... oh, what nonsense is he thinking?
