After staying in the Martial Arts Pavilion for three days, Ye Lingchen left after having learned the Void Realm Language, which he had wanted to do. Although his proficiency had only reached 25% in total, the presence of that foundation gave him a chance to improve it to 100%.
Miracle Island.
The entire island had undergone great changes during the construction period.
The pharmaceutical factory has been completed, and the machinery required for pharmaceuticals has been purchased. Dong Miaomiao has also convened the employees of Thousandsprout Pharmaceutical and some of the production lines have already started operating.
Grandmaster Hao’s construction team started to build the entire island according to Ye Lingchen’s design plan, and at Ye Lingchen’s request, the constructions leaned toward high-tech buildings such as Wanrong Technology.
Although the Void Realm did not support technology, it could not be denied that the power of technology was not to be underestimated. Since spiritual energy was versatile, it should be feasible to use spiritual energy instead of electricity to power those technologies.
Unfortunately, the construction progress was too slow and things had to be sped up.
Ye Lingchen contacted several engineering teams through his connection with the Warrior’s Department, and arranged to stagger the construction time along with Grandmaster Hao’s team and divided their work in order to realize all the island’s plans as soon as possible.
Aside from the original plan, a warrior school was added as well.
Miracle Island was huge, so the addition of a school was not a big issue. The school even occupied a very large area that surpassed all the other buildings. It was more magnificent than some of the more famous schools.
Later, Ye Lingchen approached Dong Miaomiao personally and gave her the rabies prescription’s formula so she could hurry up production. In addition, there were some formulas for skin care products which Dong Miaomiao was asked to produce as part of their trial product promotion.
What was the one thing that lacked most during the accelerated construction of Miracle Island? It was none other than money, of course!
Although the peripheral copyrights of Drawing Sword had been sold for more than 200 million and Ye Lingchen had other ways of making money, it was still only a drop in the bucket for the funds used to develop Miracle Island.
The daily expenditures would be an astronomical figure he wanted to complete the construction in a short time. His only recourse was to speed up his ability to make money, and creating medicine was obviously the fastest way of doing so.
Soon after, Ye Lingchen met with Ouyang Qing again and placed a drawing right in front of her.
Ouyang Qing looked at the title of the drawing and her pupils contracted suddenly. She exclaimed, “Smart Housekeeper Robot?”
“Mm, design it as fast as possible, promote it, and put it on the market as soon as possible,” Ye Lingchen responded bluntly.
“This… can it really achieve the functions that you mentioned?” Ouyang Qing asked in a trembling voice.
“These functions are just basic functions, so it’s no big deal,” Ye Lingchen answered. “Since we already have the design, how long will it take to produce it, based on the company’s ability?”
Ouyang Qing responded, “If all the departments are fully operating, a prototype can be built in about two months.”
“Okay, get it done as soon as possible!” Ye Lingchen nodded.
The first generation of Smart Housekeeper Robots stood at height of 1.75 meters and was shaped like a human, complete with limbs. Its functions were simple, such as chatting, sweeping the floor, and serving tea and water.
Even so, that alone was enough to shock the world. Ye Lingchen also had plans to upgrade the robot in the near future. Soon, the robot would know how to cook and even be equipped with medical functions that enabled it to perform simple assessments of a family member’s health.
In addition to making money, he was ready to quickly push through Earth’s trends to prepare for the appearance of Iron Man in the future.
The entire Miracle Island suddenly became busy with Ye Lingchen’s arrival. Everyone felt a sense of urgency from Ye Lingchen, and no one was lazy. On the contrary, they immediately entered a workaholic state.
After ensuring that everyone was in order, he returned to the room, entered the system interface, and counted his current popularity value.
His entire body was in a daze the second he looked at it.
32 million popularity points!
That much?
Surprised, Ye Lingchen remembered that the last lucky draw left him with only 11 million popularity points. Even if Drawing Sword was well-received and managed to his record-high ratings, a 10 million increase was already considered good enough and it could not possibly increase by 20 million.
Where did that pleasant surprise come from?
In any case, it was a good outcome and Ye Lingchen did not pay much attention to it. He immediately summoned his knowledge interface.
There were six advanced knowledges: Parkour (advanced), Animal Taming (advanced), Eight Extremities Brute Training (advanced), Arhat Fist Force (advanced), Formation (advanced), and Wood Spirit Constitution (advanced).
As for intermediate knowledge, there were three: Cat Language (Intermediate), Dog Language (Intermediate), and Aura Divination (Intermediate).
Cat Language and Dog Language made Ye Lingchen speechless for a brief moment.
Fifteen elementary knowledges remained: Cultivation (Basic), Refining: Defense (Basic), Dragon-Catcher Hand (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Gastronomy (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Transfiguration (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic), Bug Language (Basic), Touch of Death (Basic).
100% proficiency knowledge: Heart Destruction Palm, Soaring Wind Kick, Biology, Chemistry, Calligraphy, Drawing, Ball Games, Western Medicine, Deutsche, Russian…
The three intermediate skills were relatively tricky, because the crux of the matter was that it required a full 10 million popularity points to upgrade intermediate skills to advanced skills. It was thus very costly.
Perhaps he should go slow and start with basic skills.
‘God, please look kindly upon me. Don’t give me any language skills or I’ll cry.’
Ye Lingchen prayed in his heart, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, before starting!
He used one million popularity points to upgrade to intermediate knowledge!
The golden glow flicked across the 13 basic knowledges quickly, with a speed so fast that it sent Ye Lingchen’s heart beating frantically too.
‘Cultivation, can it please be Cultivation?
‘Even if it’s not Cultivation, it’d be just as good to get Refining: Defense or Dragon Catcher Hand.’
In short, as long as it was not language.
Ye Lingchen roared in his heart.
Finally, the speed of the glow slowed down considerably and Ye Lingchen’s gaze became serious too.
Ding!
With a soft sound, the glow finally froze on Transfiguration (Basic)!
‘F*ck, Transfiguration?’
Ye Lingchen’s expression was a bit stiff. The skill could be used to spoof, but it did not seem to have much effect on his current self.
After the dazzling light flickered—
Transfiguration (Intermediate): You can use transfiguration materials to change yourself into whatever you want!
Ye Lingchen raised his brows slightly. The difference between the intermediate and basic was that basic necessitated using the object of disguise as a template. It was only after being branded that one could disguise themselves as the other person. In other words, if one intended to disguise themselves as someone else, the other person had to be branded, be it voluntarily or by force after knocking them unconscious. For intermediate level, one could commence the transfiguration directly after preparing the materials.
From a practical perspective, one could say that it had improved significantly.
