Chapter 250 – What Do You Want to Do to Me?

In this world, although technology has developed to some extent, it hasn’t been widely disseminated due to the Spirit Demon Abyss appearing since ancient times, granting people opportunities to obtain extraordinary powers.

Because wilderness hazardous zones separate the Base Cities, communication between each Base City is incredibly difficult. Even among the major Families and powerful factions controlling the Base Cities, few have the ability to easily communicate with the outside world.

For instance, regarding the Hazardous Species Seal incident that Longyao City recently encountered, even though the matter has passed, Longyao City still needs to expend great costs and effort to establish contact with other Base Cities, exchange information, and allow the outside world to belatedly learn about what happened here before they can respond.

Then there’s Tianfeng City, which opens its doors wide to the world to recruit talent. Their methods either involve painstakingly sending envoys to investigate and invite people, or directly utilizing local resources, developing city residents into permanent staff to recruit for Tianfeng City. After all that, they still need to handle the safe escort of those they recruit. One can imagine how troublesome this approach is.

But there’s no other way—this is the current state of the world. Base Cities are self-sufficient and carve out their own territories like kings. Even if they exchange resources with each other, it’s difficult for them to interfere in one another’s affairs. The communication problem desperately needs solving.

This results in even if a Base City successfully develops high technology, these technologies struggle to spread widely. It’s already quite rare for them to spread among a few nearby Base Cities; beyond that, it’s impossible.

Because of this, the technological development in this world is somewhat strange.

Some Base Cities developed high technology early on, exhibiting a full sci-fi style.

Some Base Cities are relatively technologically backward, where even some basic technologies aren’t necessarily widely applied.

Other Base Cities even maintain ancient styles, as if preserved from antiquity, where you can’t even see skyscrapers.

Moreover, the styles and cultures of each Base City differ. Some seem like ancient Greek worlds appearing in the present era, others resemble medieval Western Europe. Their technological development differs completely—both in direction and speed, extremely inconsistent.

Longyao City is relatively better off. Because it has always exchanged resources with the other three Base Cities, the Four Base Cities have maintained an iron alliance relationship since ancient times. The distance between them isn’t too great, resulting in basically consistent technological development progress among the Four Base Cities—at least not too different from modern times.

However, due to the existence of extraordinary powers, while skyscrapers are one thing, something like the Yun Family Estate’s underground base with its full advanced technological style has never been seen before.

Su Ming even suspected that the military bases within Longyao City don’t possess the technological capabilities of this Yun Family Estate underground base.

That’s why he was so surprised and astonished.

Yun Langyue offered some explanation to Su Ming in this state.

“This base was built in the past by technicians from other Base Cities that my father paid a great price to invite. Apparently, their coming to Longyao City was an accident. After that, they left and never returned to Longyao City, so throughout all of Longyao City, only our Yun Family Estate has an underground base like this.”

While speaking, Yun Langyue continued unlocking the protective doors along the way.

“Here are many advanced instruments left from that time. Father went through considerable effort to invite some professionals to maintain those instruments, keeping that batch of instruments preserved, which attracted many experts and technicians from Longyao City.”

For those experts and technicians, being able to use a batch of advanced instruments for research is undoubtedly a great temptation.

The Yun Family Estate leveraged this to recruit many high-tech personnel, having them serve the ‘Cloudflow Commerce.’

“Our ‘Cloudflow Commerce’ was able to develop and expand so quickly thanks to the technologies researched by those experts.” Yun Langyue smiled slightly at Su Ming. “For a period, my father was quite obsessed with those high-tech products, extremely admiring technological products, almost transforming ‘Cloudflow Commerce’ into a large commerce group selling high-tech products.””

“Haha.”

Su Ming forced a dry laugh.

Damn, so the famous ‘Cloudflow Commerce’ actually has such a dark history?

The prestigious coastal largest commerce group dealing in Extraordinary Items actually almost became a tech product seller?

Simply unbelievable…

However, Su Ming roughly understood why Yun Langyue brought him here.

“In other words, I need to undergo examination here?”

Su Ming grasped this point.

“Correct.” Yun Langyue nodded. “Here we have technicians cultivated by our Yun Family Estate, experts recruited from outside, and the most advanced instruments in Longyao City and even the Four Coastal Bases. Is there any place more reassuring than here to undergo examination?”

“…That’s true enough.” Su Ming said with a conflicted expression. “But using high technology to examine extraordinary powers—doesn’t that seem somewhat inappropriate?”

To put it simply, does this style match?

Are their specialties even aligned?

Su Ming kind of wanted to complain about this point.

Regarding this, Yun Langyue rolled her eyes.

“Do you think technological power is ineffective against extraordinary powers? Do you know what methods Longyao City’s detection department uses for external detection?”

Undoubtedly, it’s either using alchemical tools or large instruments.

Whether detecting the appearance of a Spirit Demon Abyss entrance in Huaming District or detecting the magnetic field interfering with Mist Waves, Longyao City relies on its detection department.

This sufficiently proves that, at the very least, this world’s advanced instruments have been developed targeting extraordinary powers as their object.

In light of this, using advanced instruments to examine, analyze, and even interpret extraordinary powers is completely fine.

“Alright.”

Su Ming could only accept this matter and let Yun Langyue make the arrangements.

Yun Langyue thus brought Su Ming, passing through protective doors one after another, finally arriving at a facility resembling a research institute.

Here, a group of technicians wearing white lab coats were already waiting.

One of them seemed to be the person in charge here. Seeing Yun Langyue appear, he immediately came forward.

“Young Miss.”

He bowed quite respectfully towards Yun Langyue.

Yun Langyue nodded towards him, then introduced him to Su Ming.

“This is Professor Ying, the highest person in charge here. He will be fully responsible for this examination.”

Hearing this, Su Ming, through his mask and hood, gave him a slight look.

He was a middle-aged man appearing to be in his forties, wearing glasses with dark circles under his eyes. Dressed in a white lab coat, he didn’t differ much from the high-tech technicians in Su Ming’s impression—clearly someone with solid professional skills.

“You must be Lord Ming Wang?”

Professor Ying seemed to know about Su Ming’s matters, secretly glancing at Su Ming before respectfully bowing.

“I’ve heard about the matter from Young Miss. I will examine your body as thoroughly as possible and give you satisfactory results.”

Frankly speaking, when Su Ming heard this, he felt very awkward.

What does ‘examine your body as thoroughly as possible’ mean?

What do you want to do to me?

There are already quite a few people interested in my body, but at least they’re beautiful girls. Can you, a rough man, please not say such things?

With such thoughts, Su Ming couldn’t help but remind him.

“I only need my right hand examined, not the entire body.At least, Su Ming reminded him this indirectly.

Unexpectedly, the other party became serious.

“I have already gained some understanding of your condition beforehand. Forgive my bluntness, but this likely isn’t just a problem with your right hand alone.”

Professor Ying began speaking eloquently.

“The Demon Emperor Sword is a Divine Artifact, but it’s an ominous weapon that can drive people berserk. Its influence on the spirit is already undeniable, but how much it affects the body remains unknown.”

“Additionally, your situation is special, actually causing the Demon Emperor Sword to enter your body. So besides your right hand, it would be best to conduct a detailed examination of other parts of your body to avoid overlooking any conditions.”

“Personally, I recommend you undergo the most comprehensive full-body examination, including but not limited to blood drawing, hair testing, and various bodily fluid tests.”You can safely entrust your body to me.” I will definitely uncover all its secrets in the most professional manner.”

As he spoke, the look in Professor Ying’s eyes beneath his glasses began to change, becoming intense and shining brightly.

His gaze at Su Ming no longer held only respect but also fervor.

He looked exactly like he had seen some excellent white mouse, an experimental animal.

Su Ming: “!!!∑(?Д?Su Ming admitted—in that instant, he felt fear.

What kind of technician or expert professor is this?

This is clearly a mad scientist!

“Pfft!Beside them, Yun Langyue, seeing Su Ming’s awkward and timid expression, couldn’t help but chuckle.

“What are you laughing at!?”Su Ming was instantly provoked, unable to control himself and shouting.” “This isn’t something you arranged on purpose, is it?”

“How could that be?” Yun Langyue quickly denied, though her eyes held laughter as she said, “I haven’t even conducted the most detailed full-body examination on my great benefactor yet, why would I deliberately arrange for someone else to do such a thing?”

Dirty!

You old hag! All you know is saying such things!

If you have the guts, then actually take action!

Damn!In the end, Su Ming was still taken away by Professor Ying for a detailed full-body examination.

Of course, the main focus was examining his right hand.

Professor Ying indeed had some understanding of Su Ming’s condition. Not only did he focus on examining Su Ming’s right hand, he deliberately separated samples from Su Ming’s right hand and other body parts, conducting two examinations to compare the differences between them.

Su Ming underwent such examinations for an entire day.

And the instruments in this base were indeed very advanced, the technicians very professional. They quickly organized the examination results, focused on discussions, analyzed, consulted, and finally produced a report.

“It’s simply unbelievable!””Professor Ying appeared before Su Ming and Yun Langyue with that report, extremely excitedly shouting.”

“I’ve never seen data like this before! Not just the right hand—data in every aspect far exceeds existing records. Especially this Bloodline purity—it’s completely unprecedented!”

“What grade Bloodline is this? A Hazardous Species’? But even Hazardous Species can’t reach this data!”

“This is clearly… clearly…!?Professor Ying was so excited he couldn’t find north anymore. His gaze at Su Ming even became dangerous, giving Su Ming the déjà vu that he might be dissected at any moment, making him unable to help but want to flee in panic.

It was Yun Langyue who stopped Professor Ying from continuing.

These data are the Yun Family Estate’s highest secrets. Don’t speak of them casually, Professor Ying.Yun Langyue cast a warning glance towards Professor Ying.

“My apologies.Professor Ying then somewhat regained his composure, adjusted his glasses, and bowed in apology to Su Ming and Yun Langyue.

“Tell us the results.” Yun Langyue looked at Professor Ying. “Did you find anything?”

Yun Langyue’s inquiry was met with Professor Ying’s nod.

“I won’t elaborate on the specific analysis.” I’ll directly explain the examination results to both of you.”

Professor Ying wasn’t like some professionals who start with a bunch of technical terms and incomprehensible explanations. Instead, he used the most straightforward, simple-to-understand way to explain the examination results to the two.

According to the examination, we indeed detected a very violent energy and spiritual fluctuation in Lord Ming Wang’s right hand. Preliminary judgment identifies it as the Demon Emperor Sword, one of the Three Divine Artifacts.”The Demon Emperor Sword is attached to Lord Ming Wang’s right hand through an unknown method, merging with a vast power within Lord Ming Wang’s right hand.””These two powers are extremely similar in nature.” Therefore, we conclude that if one power fluctuates, the other will inevitably resonate.”So, when Lord Ming Wang uses the power in his right hand to fight, the Demon Emperor Sword’s power will quickly respond.””

Professor Ying’s words made Su Ming narrow his eyes.

Indeed, whenever he uses the power in his right hand, the Demon Emperor Sword reacts.

“Then what about the effects?” Yun Langyue immediately asked. “What effects does this phenomenon produce?”

“The effects are still significant.” Professor Ying answered Yun Langyue’s inquiry. Firstly, the power within the Demon Emperor Sword will automatically release its own power when the power in Lord Ming Wang’s right hand activates, providing some enhancement to Lord Ming Wang’s power.”Secondly, the Demon Emperor Sword’s power seems to affect the Phantom Demon Bloodline, stimulating factors within the Bloodline, causing unknown changes in the Bloodline—possibly evolution, possibly degeneration. The outcome is quite unstable.”

“Furthermore, the Demon Emperor Sword’s power also affects Lord Ming Wang’s body. Currently, this influence fluctuates between good and bad. Due to lack of comparison and records, we haven’t reached a conclusion yet.”Finally, just as both of you worried, the Demon Emperor Sword’s power causes mental pollution.” Lord Ming Wang is very likely to experience this phenomenon.Professor Ying’s words caused both Su Ming and Yun Langyue’s expressions to sink.

This news wasn’t particularly good.
