How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

The sun sets in the west.

A taxi drives into Nanhu Villa.

Lin Xiaosu carries a large woven bag and walks alongside Ding Ruoshui into the Ding's Villa.

As usual, Mrs. Ding greets them with a joyful smile.

Ding Ruoshui solemnly hands the bag to her mother: "Mom, this is from his mom... grown by her own hands, filled with her mom's hard work. She said since you're in Jiangcheng and have everything, she could only send you some homegrown vegetables to share a taste of familial love."

There, she kept saying 'his mom' over and over...

Lin Xiaosu felt his cheeks go a bit sour.

But Mrs. Ding was delighted, taking the bag and opening it with a smile as bright as a flower: "Sister Mei, wash these radishes from the in-laws, and I'll make a new dish with them myself."

Aunt Mei cheerfully came over to start the preparations.

Lin Xiaosu reached out and took out a jade bracelet, handing it to Mrs. Ding: "Auntie, this is a gift from me to you."

Ding Ruoshui was quite surprised.

This jade bracelet was crystal clear, with floating patterns inside.

With her insight, she could see it wasn't cheap, at least in the low six figures—of course, provided it was genuine.

Could such a stingy person really buy a bracelet worth tens of thousands for his mother-in-law?

Just hope it isn't fake.

If you buy green vegetables and radishes for thirty-eight yuan at the market, I'd agree just because of the political and ideological work you've done. I assume that's the thing.

But if you give my mom a fake acid-washed bracelet, that's really too much; this thing harms the skin...

Mrs. Ding's eyes sparkled: "Su'er, why did you go through the trouble..."

"Auntie, this bracelet really didn't cost me much. The last time I went to Biannan Province, I spent fifty thousand buying a raw jadeite, and on the spot, it yielded several bracelets, and a pile of pendant pieces. Just selling one recovered the cost, and the rest are all profits."

Mrs. Ding was delighted: "I told you, Su'er is a detective, his eyes are like they're enlightened..."

She accepted the jade bracelet and put it on immediately: "Sister Mei, Sister Fang, come and take a look!"

The two aunties came over, gathered around the lady, admired it, and all praised it, saying this bracelet must be worth tens of thousands...

Mrs. Ding scoffed at them: "Tens of thousands? Who would sell you ice-type with floating patterns for that? I saw one at He Lai Xuan last time, and it wasn't as good as Su'er's, it was eighty thousand to start with!"

Hiss!

The sound of a sharp intake of breath...

The three women entered the kitchen, busy with dinner preparations for the evening.

Ding Ruoshui sat with Lin Xiaosu in the living room, a whisper quietly passed: "Is this bracelet real or fake?"

"What do you mean real or fake? I opened it from the stone on-site, how could it be fake?"

"Is it really worth 80 thousand?"

"To my knowledge, similar products at He Lai Xuan can indeed go up to 80 thousand, after all, it's famous worldwide for overcharging wealthy women..."

"I paid your detective agency 80 thousand for detective fees and pretending to be my boyfriend, and now you give my mom a bracelet also worth 80 thousand, is there any meaning behind it?" Ding Ruoshui said with a smile.

"This indicates that we exit the fake relationship and enter into something real."

"Get lost! Not tonight, a girl can't mess around at her parents' house... I've heard it's not good for brothers."

"Even if we don't mess around, could your brother have a good one?" Lin Xiaosu glanced around: "Where's your brother?"

"My brother..." Ding Ruoshui called out: "Mom, where's brother?"

Mrs. Ding came over from the kitchen: "Your brother has been in a daze lately, tinkering every day with robot cats, robot dogs, Xi Xi, Nan Nan, Bei Bei..."

With her call, two small cats and two small dogs came running quickly down the stairs.

Ding Ruoshui's eyes widened...

The fluffy little animals of cats and dogs naturally have a charm that girls love.

These four cats and dogs, she had never seen before.

But each was adorable.

"The white one is Xi Xi, the black and white one is Nan Nan, the pure black one is Bei Bei, what's the name of this spotted dog again? Sister Fang." Mrs. Ding said.

Aunt Fang responded from a distant corridor: "Madam, this spotted dog is called Xiao Ban."

Ding Ruoshui was a bit bewildered: "We've got Xi Xi, Nan Nan, and Bei Bei; why not call one Dong Dong?"

"Dong Dong is your brother!" Mrs. Ding said: "Xi Xi, Nan Nan, Bei Bei, Xiao Ban, attention!"

The dogs and cats all stood at attention.

"These are your owners, greet them!"

The two little dogs stood up on their hind legs, placing their paws in Ding Ruoshui's hands, while the two little cats stood up in a human-like way, placing their paws in Lin Xiaosu's hands, representing the Ding family, welcoming the two newly returned owners.

Ding Ruoshui laughed.

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Ding thought, as did the Ding's servants, and even Ding Lizhong and Ding Ruoshui, that these four cats and dogs were mechanical pets.

Only he knew.

They weren't.

These were puppets!

Ding Dong had finally taken the first step on his Puppet Path.

He used puppetry to create four cats and dogs.

These animals had no electrical components inside, only arrays and talismans.

This brother-in-law, you have to say, he's a genius.

"He's probably in the basement? I'll go check on him." Lin Xiaosu said.

"Okay, he's been eating down there lately, bring him up for dinner," Mrs. Ding said.

Lin Xiaosu walked to the elevator, pressed the button, and entered the basement.

In the basement, Ding Dong sat at the table, in front of him a cup of coffee, long gone cold, displaying a rarely seen expression.

He was extremely focused on a piece of paper in front of him.

Lin Xiaosu took a step forward, and Ding Dong reflexively waved his hand, making the paper disappear into thin air. He suddenly looked up, saw Lin Xiaosu, and his expression changed rapidly, bouncing up: "Brother, when did you arrive?"

"Just now!" Lin Xiaosu said, "What are you looking at?"

"This!" Ding Dong extended his hand and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Lin Xiaosu glanced over...

This is the complete talisman for controlling the Wing Blade.

"You've drawn the control talisman for the Wing Blade!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Yes, this talisman has to be precise and flawless, very difficult. The Puppet Path allows for no mistakes, otherwise, it would lead to destruction and injury. After a brutal hundred-day battle, I can already form it in one go." Ding Dong was very excited.

Lin Xiaosu praised, "Brother Ding, you truly are a genius in this domain."

"Haha, who in the world doesn't know this?" Ding Dong showed no sign of humility.

"Next, do you plan to try it on the Wing Blade?"

Ding Dong's eyes flickered with light, "I haven't decided yet, whether to contact them before the end of the year, or after."

"If you want to do something, don't overthink it, just do it!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Alright, I'll contact that white-haired girl tomorrow. Hey, brother, how old is that white-haired girl?"

"Damn, I can understand if you ask about her identity, but what's the point of asking her age?"

"What could it mean? To see if she's possible to flirt with..."

"Brother Ding, you really have not changed!" Lin Xiaosu sighed, "Yet I don't know her age either; I generally don't care about women's ages."

"You can't ignore it. What if it's someone in their forties or fifties, that would make me a laughing stock for life..."

Tch!

Lin Xiaosu looked down on him.

In their forties or fifties and it becomes a joke?

I don't even know how old Li Xueyi is, yet I didn't worry about going ahead.

I can clearly know that the Saintess Qian Ling residing at Tashan Lake is over ten thousand years old. If she wants to try something new, do you think I'd have any psychological barriers...

However, these things, of course, are not suitable to share with this convenient brother-in-law...

He took Ding Dong out for dinner.

Once Ding Dong gets busy, he basically flips day and night, meals are random.

But, there are always exceptions, when Lin Xiaosu pulls him up, what can he do?

Ding Lizhong came back, beaming with joy.

Mrs. Ding personally made a new dish, radish soup, with appearance and aroma... well, let's not speak of taste, but the look and smell were perfect...

She shared the origin of the radish during the meal again, and even Lin Xiaosu felt a bit embarrassed...

Luckily, everyone was familiar with the follow-up routine.

It's nothing more than drinking and losing a county-level house, then Lin Xiaosu accompanied Ding Lizhong to sit in the study.

This time of year, there's no need to go up to the rooftop in the bitter cold to enjoy the night breeze.

Entering Ding Lizhong's room, warm as spring, after drinking a cup of tea, Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Uncle Ding looks radiant today, is there some good news?"

"Your visit is a piece of good news!" Ding Lizhong laughed heartily, "Also, there is indeed a piece of great news."

"What is it?"

"Our research project is successfully completed!" Ding Lizhong raised his teacup and let out a long breath, "It's an epoch-making revolution and will rewrite history!"

Lin Xiaosu's heart raced, epoch-making revolution, rewriting history?

The only thing he could think of that fits this description...

Is the "Creation Gate" on the path of genes, unlocking the genetic shackles.

Could it be Yixiang told Ding Lizhong about her breakthrough? Has Ding Lizhong really found the path to gene unlocking?

However, Ding Lizhong's following words told him, it wasn't this!

It was in another domain...

The field of communication!

Currently, all communications are heavily dependent on satellites.

Modern military, modern civil life, all rely on satellites.

In times of peace, there's no problem.

Small-scale local wars, no problem.

After all, those small countries can't destroy satellites, nor dare they think of it.

However, one day in the future, this world will undergo tremendous change.

Folded space will open, superpower entities will appear in this world.

They can fly through the void.

They can destroy flying devices with a wave of their hand.

Satellites may not be safe!

If satellites are not destroyed, modern missiles might still contend with these giants on the Cultivation Path for a few rounds, and perhaps effectively damage them, but, what if these giants fly into the sky and use their ultimate cultivation techniques to destroy all satellites at once?

The Earth's military, already accustomed to satellite positioning, would have no targets for missiles without satellites, how would they effectively counter them?

This is the dead end of communication technology!

Based on this, Daxia has started a top-secret plan called the "Earth Eye Project."

What is the Earth Eye?

If satellites are the Sky Eye, then underground communication bases are the Earth Eye.

The Earth Eye doesn't rely on satellites but on neutrino technology.

This project has been underway for many years.

Progress in the middle has always been very slow.

After Lin Xiaosu got the Purple magic Stone, this project started to speed up, the Changsheng Group was taken over by the state, and what it was doing was this thing.

Of course, it's not just the Changsheng Group doing it.

The Jiangnan Group has also been fully cooperating.
