Chapter 469: Remotely Controlling the Wing Blade to Search for the Three Realms
Lin Xiaosu saw it.
The money just transferred.
Ten million!
Transferor: Southern Group.
Lin Xiaosu laughed, "Did a little something for the Southern Group."
"Ten million in one go!" Miao Ruolan was very excited, "Our income this year is truly terrifying. A few days ago, Base 101 also made a transfer, also more than before, also 10 million!"
Base 101 transfer, 10 million!
It truly was unprecedented.
The highest reward for a Qianlong mission is 5 million.
5 million is the cap.
This time a one-time reward of ten million is actually the capped reward for two missions.
One of them was the Qianlong purification mission, where he rooted out 28 moles in one go, including the highest echelon infiltrators of Qianlong, deserving nothing but the cap.
The other was finding an energy source solution for Wing Blade, giving Qianlong an actually operational super battle wing, also deserving the capped reward.
"Congratulations, you're a multimillionaire now." Lin Xiaosu picked up Miao Ruolan and spun around.
Miao Ruolan lay on him giggling, "It's all yours, I'm just keeping it for you. When you get married, I'll give it all to you."
"What if I marry you?"
"I wouldn't dare! I'm afraid little Ye will swing her little fists and beat me up..."
Of course, this was a joke.
In the following time, Lin Xiaosu seemed to be making an effort to be a qualified scumbag.
Shuttling between the county and his hometown.
Showering both Miao Ruolan and little Ye with attentions.
However, what no one knew was that Miao Ruolan's attentions were genuine while little Ye's were just an excuse.
Lin Xiaosu was only experimenting with his Array.
Ten days, twenty days, more than twenty days...
The thirteenth of the eighth lunar month! The twenty-fourth of September on the solar calendar.
Near Mid-Autumn!
The night was almost a full moon.
Lin Xiaosu sat on the second floor of his old family house.
In his hand was an Array Plate.
The Array Plate slowly lit up, seemingly reflecting a stretch of sea.
At the same time, in the deep pool of Old Tashan, Wing Blade's eyes suddenly opened.
In the next instant, Wing Blade shot skyward, heading northwest.
On Lin Xiaosu's Array Plate appeared the vast night sky and vast earth seen through Wing Blade's eyes.
Lin Xiaosu pointed a finger to the left, Wing Blade tilted its wings in that direction, skimming over a mountain peak.
Wing Blade's speed slowed down, and the Array Plate displayed the northwestern mountains and rivers.
He used Wing Blade as his eyes to observe the endless northwest landscape...
This meant one thing.
That is, his grand plan of using the Array to control Wing Blade was, after nearly a month of exploration, finally successful.
His knowledge of the Array Path, after this extreme challenge, had also greatly increased.
The sixth Heavenly Star Tear within him had also dripped.
Currently, the seventh was on the verge of dripping.
All signs indicated that his long period of rest wasn't really rest, but recharging!
Moreover, Wing Blade's reconnaissance of the northwest also had two objectives, the first being a test.
The test's effect was near-perfect, remotely controlling Wing Blade as skillfully as moving one's fingers. He had truly taken an unprecedented step (though, this was just on the foundation of his current knowledge, as the ancients' world was vast, and he had no idea if there were ancient Heavenly Prides who flawlessly combined Puppetry Technique and the Array Path).
He had a second objective.
This objective was... to search for the Three Realms!
The Three Realms, extremely mysterious.
Existed only in legend.
Even Qianlong Head didn't know where the Three Realms were.
However, Lin Xiaosu wanted to try and find them.
In the past, attempting to find the Three Realms via the geographical features created by the Array on top of the Thirty-Three Towers would typically involve computer searches, searching various images for geographical feature comparisons.
That method was very uncontrollable, relying a lot on luck and coincidence.
But now, Lin Xiaosu had a new method.
That is to use Wing Blade, using it as the eyes, to survey from high above, looking for that grassland, that river, that snow mountain, that Taoist Temple...
Throughout the night, he focused intensely.
Once the landscapes below entered his view, they were compared with the picture in his memory...
This search lasted a day and two nights!
Finally, on the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Xiaosu's eyes lit up.
He found the area.
Southwest of Kunlun Mountain!
The river was named the Tadao River.
The mountain was Duan Liang Snow Mountain.
The grassland was a part of the Southern Border Grassland.
However, there was no Taoist Temple on the snow mountain.
It wasn't that the Taoist Temple was incomplete, it was completely absent!
Wing Blade flew over the deserted snow mountain seven times, checking from all directions, nothing!
Lin Xiaosu frowned slightly and flicked his finger gently.
Wing Blade quickly returned.
Half an hour later, Wing Blade returned to the deep pool, took a few Crystal Stones from the pool's bottom, and filled its Energy Cabin.
These Five Elements Array Formation Crystal Stones were the energy Lin Xiaosu prepared for it.
After evolving into a Puppet, Wing Blade could recharge its energy source itself.
Alright, the matters he wanted to accomplish were mostly taken care of.
The remote control issue was resolved.
The place he wanted to find was found.
But why wasn't there a Taoist Temple of the Three Realms?
Was it destroyed over time?
Or were there more secrets?
Perhaps it required an on-site visit to check...
But that wasn't a matter for now.
The Three Realms were legendary existences.
They should only be disturbed when civilization ends...
Lin Xiaosu put away the Array Plate.
His gaze shifted to the bed.
On the bed, little Ye was really bold in this summer, with her snow-white thighs and flawless figure giving quite the thrill.
The towel hanging by the bedside, in particular, constantly reminded him to savor it.
Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath, blocking out the sensation, and sat cross-legged.
With that sit, he began the process of discarding, merging, and ascending the seventh Heavenly Star Tear.
At dawn, Lin Xiaosu stood up, left the room, and his cultivation had reached Seven Stars Shining in the Sky, getting so close to Observing Heaven realm's Nine Stars Breaking the Sky, really so close!
He was going out again.
This time, he was going for a date.
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Chang Ye's birthday.
In the past, he didn't even know her birthday, and even if he knew, he couldn't go to Base 101, but now, he could.
Because he had Level 3 Authority.
He issued a command through Dragon Eye, and an hour later, a flying car landed on the roof of the Detective Agency.
Lin Xiaosu boarded the flying car.
There was no one on the flying car, Lin Xiaosu inputted a command, and the flying car took off, heading to a place he had been before.
The very same Base 101 where Chang Ye brought him the first time he set foot.
A year and a half had passed.
The big island seemed unchanged.
Buildings rich in modernity.
A peak in the midst of noise and tranquility.
However, Lin's mindset had changed significantly.
Back then, he was a rookie.
Today, he could compete with the topmost Heavenly King.
Back then, he obtained Reserve status on this island; today, with Level 3 Authority, he was almost equivalent to the Heavenly King.
Saying almost, because he ultimately wasn't in the Qianlong establishment; his Level 3 Authority ultimately wasn't completely equivalent to Heavenly King's authority, at least some core things he couldn't touch, such as Qianlong Gold Medal's current tasks.
However, on this island, he was already detached.
With Level 3 Authority, the whole island was accessible without obstruction.
Lin Xiaosu didn't head to the sensitive areas, walking up along a stone path.
This path led to the mountaintop.
The mountaintop was the island's monitoring center, while halfway up the mountain, there was a big garden.
The garden was full of exotic plants, and there was a swing.
Sitting on the swing at the moment was one person.
Chang Ye!
Today's her seemed a bit different from usual; her cheeks were red, and her mood swayed like the waves of the South Sea beneath the island.
Because a few days ago, Blue Demon came by and brought her something and also delivered a message...
Today, Mid-Autumn Festival, he would come!
It was that thing, and that message, that made Chang Ye feel like a passionate and ardent young girl awaiting her lover's appointment, unable to suppress the stirring within her.
The small garden gate gently pushed open, and the person she had been waiting for for two days entered her garden.
The swing under Chang Ye suddenly steadied.
Lin Xiaosu walked to the front of the swing, his hand lightly reached out and grasped Chang Ye's hand: "I heard it's your birthday today."
"Did Blue Demon tell you?" Chang Ye said softly.
"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I know you don't actually like cakes or gold and silver jewelry, so I could only bring myself over to accompany you on the swing."
Chang Ye chuckled, got up and poured him a cup of tea, and they both sat on the swing together.
The swing swayed gently, and her body also subtly leaned into his embrace.
The sky was dotted with wandering white clouds.
The blue sea beneath was also wandering.
Her thoughts were also wandering...
"That day, I didn't wait for you to wake up at headquarters." Chang Ye said.
"I know, a traitor was discovered on the island, and you hurried overnight to eliminate the traitor." Lin Xiaosu said.
"I heard you ascended the Thirty-Three Towers?"
"Yes!"
"I really didn't expect, the person who walked out from here could have grown so quickly to such heights." Chang Ye tilted her head: "Do you admire my sharp eyes in recognizing pearls?"
"I admire myself!" Lin Xiaosu said: "How many people in the world dare to get their female instructor into bed?"
Chang Ye cast him a sideways glance: "You're bringing this up again, Xinyue calls you little fierce!"
"Where's Xinyue?" Lin Xiaosu looked around, indeed not seeing Xinyue.
Chang Ye smiled lightly: "She knew you'd come, so she hid!"
"Not really? She's still afraid of me?" Lin Xiaosu said: "I think I'm topping her little list of grudges again."
Chang Ye laughed like a blooming flower: "No worries, her little list changes more often than the island's weather. One moment you're at the top, the next a tiny outburst, and you might slip off the list..."
The two got more relaxed as they chatted.
After lunch, they wandered around the garden, and after wandering enough, they returned to the swing.
The sun set in the west, and the Mid-Autumn night approached.
They drank a little wine and enjoyed a delicious meal, and then entered Chang Ye's room.
The room lights were pink.
The sheets reflected the pink light as well.
Lin Xiaosu seemed to have to admit, the pink really was somewhat stimulating, which made his hand roam over her several times, and the two once again approached the edge of something steaming...
"How about I go outside and swing?" Lin Xiaosu intended to retreat.
Chang Ye's hand reached out and grabbed him.
Her eyes, at this moment, carried a swirl.
"If we go on, you won't be able to hold back..." Lin Xiaosu said.
"If I can't hold back, then I won't..." Chang Ye gently breathed out fragrant air.
"Huh?" Lin Xiaosu was surprised.
"Open the bedside drawer..." Chang Ye's cheek turned three shades redder.
Lin Xiaosu opened the bedside drawer, his eyes widened immediately.
Inside there were three condoms...
"These... these are nanotechnology fourth-generation condoms!"
"Mm!"
"Qianlong's latest high-tech being used here, is it really okay?" Lin Xiaosu was in disbelief.
"Technology serves people..." Chang Ye didn't finish her sentence, too shy to continue as she hid under the covers.
Sounds came from outside, the sound of clothes being taken off followed by the sheet being lifted.
Chang Ye's voice came: "Still, be gentle, take it easy..."
Lin Xiaosu fully understood.
Condoms are just condoms, not offering that much protection; normally enjoying it with small streams going long is great, but truly can't get too excited...
That night, Chang Ye was so happy she forgot everything.
That night, all three condoms were used.
The next morning, Chang Ye got up first, and the first thing she did was clean up the condoms, washing them with special liquid, planning to use them again at night...
