Chapter 185: Sweeping the Mystic Realm! Fei Fei's Second Document!

Old Liu left.

After learning that Lao Sha's skill fusion would take a few more days, Su Ping naturally didn't have the leisure to keep a close eye on him.

With Qin Xiaoxue's promise, Su Ping could rest assured that he could take Lao Sha to the Megapolis without worrying about the hassle of transporting his pet on a vehicle.

Subsequently, Su Ping began to prepare for his departure.

Regarding the Wood Heart, he had no concerns.

Moreover, Dong Muyun was there as well.

As the second-largest shareholder with a 1% stake, Dong Muyun could naturally help keep an eye on things.

As for the land deed, the new planning, and supervision, Guan Qianshan could handle all of that, allowing Su Ping to be a carefree boss.

For Su Ping, the most important preparation he needed to make, from beginning to end, was just one thing!

That was to thoroughly sweep through the Jianghai Mystic Realm before his departure.

Indeed, Su Ping hadn't finished scouring through all the mystic realms in Jianghai yet.

Some of the mystic realms would expire after a certain period.

If he went to the Megapolis and didn't return for half a month, losing a mystic realm would make Su Ping feel at a loss.

After all, what if he was just one mystic realm origin away from being able to piece together a new space attribute for his Beastmaster Space? Taking advantage of this time, he decided to gather them all.

At the same time, he gave some instructions to the base.

Su Ping arrived at the Forest Wolf Base.

Li Shu and Guan Lili were currently feeding the Forest Wolves.

However, Guan Lili still looked the same, and Li Shu seemed a bit listless, even yawning.

Su Ping's arrival snapped them back to attention.

"What's wrong with you?"

Su Ping looked at the tired Li Shu, who then explained:

"These past few days, I don't know what happened. My phone broke, and I can't fix it no matter what I try. Yesterday, I researched it for half the night but still couldn't figure it out. Damn it, I'll have to get a new one in a couple of days..."

Su Ping was speechless. He thought this guy was about to quit, but he didn't care about such a minor issue. He nodded and said:

"I'll be leaving Linzhou for a while, and then I'll be going to the Megapolis in a few days. So, I won't be home for most of the next half month. You two take care of things. The Wood Heart's magic potion has already been prepared, so just take care of the guests who come for cultivation."

The two looked at each other and replied together:

"No problem."

"Okay."

Su Ping didn't want to think too much about it. The Wood Heart's magic potion couldn't be casually transmitted, but he didn't have any secrets to hide from them regarding some cultivation secrets.

After all, times had changed.

Back in his room, Su Ping began preparing for his departure.

He didn't start packing his luggage right away. Instead, he took out his phone, intending to log into the 'Celestial Observatory' app.

As soon as he unlocked his phone, a tiny little face appeared on the screen.

The phone's speaker automatically spoke: "Hello, master."

Su Ping was slightly startled.

He then realized, "Fei Fei?"

"Yes, it's me, master."

"How did you appear here?"

During this time, Fei Fei, the third pet beast Su Ping had reserved, had been researching meditation techniques. Su Ping hadn't paid much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the meditation technique didn't seem to have made much progress, but it seemed that Fei Fei had made further advancements in network signals.

"It's simple. By simulating the wireless signal in the area where you are located and transforming it into a network signal frequency to enter your phone, I can create programs in the background using your network synchronization. As long as there's a network connection, I can access any known instrument channel.

It's just like controlling those smart home appliances."

Su Ping scratched his head.

Could this be possible? Su Ping decided to ask, "Can you enter Li Shu's phone?"

"Yes, I can. That guy named Li Shu is not very civilized. He was always arguing with people online, so I set up a program on his phone to prevent him from using swear words in forums.

"He's really good, even without using swear words, he can leave people speechless. As long as he starts getting agitated, it's like he's already won."

"..."

Su Ping now understood why Li Shu had been yelling about getting a new phone earlier.

This guy was so good that not being able to use swear words was like cutting off an arm.

Damn, it seemed like he had cultivated a hacker. But this was good; it would keep Li Shu quiet.

Su Ping decisively said, "What if they turn off the network connection?"

"I can turn the network connection back on. My psychic energy is only used to simulate network signals, not actual network signals. Many things that network signals can do, I can do as well.

I can even open the network connection, and it won't show up on the phone or computer unless they forcibly turn off the power. But even then, my psychic energy can transform back into normal psychic energy and leave the phone."

"..."

Okay, okay.

Su Ping nodded, feeling that it was all too abstract.

Was it because Fei Fei was a mechanical core with mechanical-mutated spiritual attributes, allowing her to simulate network signals so smoothly? Even among spiritual pet beasts, Su Ping hadn't heard of any with this function before.

However, for the sake of harmony and health, and to avoid attracting too much attention, Su Ping gave Fei Fei an order:

"Don't enter other people's phones or networks in the future."

"Oh..." Fei Fei's Q-version image on the phone visibly drooped.

Su Ping was speechless. He wasn't a heartless person.

Mechanical pet beasts were still pet beasts, not cold mechanical programs. They had a sense of time, self-reflection, and self-awareness.

During this time, Fei Fei had been in her little study at home, and she could only rely on the internet to find some entertainment and pass the time.

Su Ping's command, though seemingly harsh, was perhaps necessary for Fat Cat.

Su Ping's expression softened, "Alright, from now on, you can use my account to access the internet, but be warned: don't tamper with anything, and especially, don't enter anyone's app or backend during data connections. If you do, I'll be the one in trouble."

"Understood, thank you, Master!"

Fat Cat's enthusiasm was rekindled, but Su Ping couldn't shake off an inexplicable sense of unease. This feeling was reminiscent of when he had Paper Immortal Swordsman watch those wuxia movies.

Su Ping dismissed the feeling and focused on the task at hand. He discovered a silver lining: Freedom from manual labor.

"Fat Cat, open the Celestial Observatory's website backend using my ID. Search for all Mystic Realms in Jianghai Province that will collapse within the next month," Su Ping instructed.

Within five seconds, the phone automatically accessed the backend, and Fat Cat's superior Psychic Energy processed the information. Shortly, several Mystic Realms' details appeared.

All were located within Jianghai Province, on the verge of natural collapse.

Su Ping nodded, then inquired, "How many useless Mystic Realms remain in Jianghai Province?"

"Master, there are twenty-two remaining. Two will collapse within the next month. The specific distribution is..."

Su Ping pondered, wondering if he could absorb all twenty-two Mystic Realms within the remaining time by accelerating his schedule.

However, he noted, "It seems new small Mystic Realms have appeared. I recall there were twenty useless Mystic Realms in Jianghai after I cleaned up Linzhou's Mystic Realms. Yet, in less than two weeks, two more have emerged?"

Though puzzled, Su Ping was pleased, "Good, Fat Cat! Plan the fastest route to all abandoned Mystic Realms. I want to cover them within five days!"

Five seconds passed...

"Done, Master! Your itinerary is ready!"

The document opened, displaying the twenty-two abandoned Mystic Realms' locations, route maps, time schedules, and fastest travel arrangements.

Su Ping was satisfied, "Excellent work! You have great potential as a butler!"

With the route map, Su Ping's actions became more convenient and effortless.

A hint of a smile: "Well done, you can come with me this time."

"Yay!"

The Q-version Fat Cat in the phone celebrated, while the mechanical body on the desk spun rapidly, expressing the little guy's excitement.

Jianghai Province Expedition

Su Ping, however, couldn't possibly cover the entire province alone. He sought out Dong Muchuan once more.

"Visiting the remaining Mystic Realms in Jianghai? Then heading to Megapolis? Tsk, Qin Xiaoxue must be in a hurry."

Dong Muchuan teased but didn't refuse Su Ping's request. To her, this was an undeniable provincial travel opportunity.

A hint of romance and excitement sparked within her.

Unfortunately, reality proved her wrong. Su Ping hadn't considered such aspects.

The following days were a blur of city-hopping and Mystic Realm exploration, with Dong Muchuan relegated to driving, paying bills, and providing security. She was on the verge of abandoning Su Ping midway.

Was she being treated like a personal maid?!

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever ordered her around like this!

However, considering Su Ping's imminent departure from Linzhou, Dong Muchuan gritted her teeth and persisted.

Encountering this annoying brat was the worst luck she'd ever had!

Though she'd never admit it, a sliver of satisfaction lingered within Dong Muchuan.

Dragon Nation, Imperial Capital

In a familiar office building, the Dragon Nation's Celestial Observatory, a certain individual's emotions were even more complicated.

The previous Lin Vice-Director stood before Huang Tianbing, furrowed brow and all:

"Sir, it's happening again! These past few days, the Mystic Realms in Jianghai Province have vanished into thin air! Should we investigate?"

He was anxious; after all, something fishy was afoot.

As the Vice-Director responsible for maintaining Mystic Realms, Lin was genuinely worried. Though the situation seemed innocuous now, he'd be the first to bear the brunt of responsibility if things went awry.

Huang Tianbing, however, appeared unfazed, his gaze fixed on the computer screen. Lin Vice-Director might have even suspected his superior of engaging in illicit activities, had he known him better.

Huang Tianbing remained silent, his eyes locked onto the Celestial Observatory's backend. He was well aware of the situation, having received ten notifications from his backend regarding the Jianghai Province's events.

All were reports from a certain young individual, Su Ping, with identical feedback:

【Mystic Realm Inspector Su Ping's report: 'Jianghai 792 Mystic Realm' has collapsed and will be archived in the 'Jianghai Mystic Realm Emergence Records'. Approval pending?】

【The Mystic Realm Prosecutor Su Ping submitted a message regarding 'Jianghai 847 Mystic Realm', which has collapsed and disappeared. The specific information and number will be archived in the 'Jianghai Mystic Realm Archive'. Is this approved?】

【...】

The accuracy of these messages was evident from the anxious expression on the old man Lin, confirming that these Mystic Realms had indeed vanished without a trace.

Just like the disappearance of the five Mystic Realm spaces in Linzhou.

At this moment, Huang Tianbing finally had a hundred percent certainty that the young man who had entered through the back door with the help of the Ghost Saint truly possessed some abilities in this regard. Huang Tianbing's heart raced with excitement.

Not long ago, he had received some extremely troubling news.

In the easternmost part of Jianghai Province, beyond West Dragon Lake, on a vast and boundless East Sea, there was an island called Yan Xun Island.

The Mystic Realm that appeared there had gone berserk.

Who knew why a Mystic Realm belonging to a Saint-level expert would appear on a remote fishing island?

Moreover, the Mystic Realm was so ferocious that it would experience an energy outbreak at regular intervals.

This caused great unease among the island's inhabitants.

All personnel on the island had to be evacuated, causing extreme disruption.

If this situation continued, there was a high possibility that Yan Xun Island would collapse.

Of course, such an extreme scenario was unlikely to occur easily, but one couldn't take chances with such matters.

Furthermore, the edge of the East Sea was already within the region of the endless sea, the largest oceanic restricted area. Even the Dragon Nation would not willingly provoke any conflict there.

If that young master could lend a helping hand... Huang Tianbing pursed his lips. He still didn't fully understand the young master's abilities, but he felt that with such a large-scale sweep in Jianghai Province, the young master should be interested in the Mystic Realms left behind by a Saint-level expert, right?

After all, if there was no interest, there would be no need for such a massive sweep.

However, Huang Tianbing still felt hesitant to inquire further.

In the Beastmaster world, any ability could be a personal secret, and there was no reason to reveal it to others.

Especially at this moment, this ability held great significance for the Celestial Observatory.

This was why the old man Lin was so anxious, but Huang Tianbing didn't directly state the reason.

If Lin, who was directly in charge of managing and maintaining the Mystic Realms, were to find out about this matter, who knew what he might do in his excitement?

If his subordinates were to offend the young master due to their inexperience, not only would the Ghost Saint blame them, but Lin might also be dismissed from the Celestial Observatory.

Therefore, this matter had to be approached with caution.

Huang Tianbing glanced at Lin and cleared his throat, saying, "I understand, Lin. You go ahead and take care of your work."

Lin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Boss, this matter really can't be taken lightly. You've also heard that the higher-ups mentioned that this period is a very special spatial node. Mystic Realms are appearing more frequently nationwide, and even worldwide, compared to the past. Jianghai is a major province, and if any issues arise..."

"Rest assured, Lin. I understand the severity of the situation."

After receiving Huang Tianbing's further response, Lin had no choice but to nod in resignation and leave.

As he watched the office door close again, Huang Tianbing let out a long sigh.

Lin was right; the recent appearance of Mystic Realms was indeed more frequent than in previous years. As a result, uncontrollable Mystic Realms like the one on Yan Xun Island would become more common.

Consequently, the young master's abilities became even more crucial.

However, directly asking about it would undoubtedly provoke the young master's displeasure, and there was no reason for him to help the Celestial Observatory.

Although Huang Tianbing could be certain that the young master was sweeping through the Mystic Realms for his own purposes.

Nevertheless, Huang Tianbing, who had risen from an ordinary receptionist to his current position, relied not only on the support of a benefactor but also on his cautious approach of taking one step at a time.

Therefore, direct questioning would not work. Could he try a more subtle approach? Huang Tianbing's heart stirred with an idea, and he opened the reply page:

'Dear Prosecutor Su Ping, we have received your feedback and actively dispatched specialists for inspection. We have confirmed your feedback! Most of the Mystic Realms in Jianghai Province have been cleared by you. Thank you for your contributions to the Celestial Observatory, and we look forward to your continued feedback! The Celestial Observatory also looks forward to further cooperation with you!'

After sending the message, Huang Tianbing felt a tension he hadn't experienced in a long time. His heart raced, and he stared intently at the backend without blinking.

Huang Tianbing couldn't help but feel nervous.

He was a meticulous person, and compared to the previous responses, this time, the mention of all the Mystic Realms in Jianghai Province and the most crucial last sentence, 'The Celestial Observatory looks forward to further cooperation with you,' were all attempts to probe the young master.

Moreover, if the young master were dissatisfied with this response format, he could later shift the blame to the intern customer service or the automated reply.

At that moment, Su Ping, still on his journey, continued to meditate in the passenger seat.

After stabilizing the absorption of the energy from the Mystic Realm he had just cleared, he finally broke through to the Elite Eighth Rank in terms of Psychic Energy fluctuations.

Just then,

Fei Fei's voice sounded at that moment: "Master, there's a new message from the Celestial Observatory's backend!"

Su Ping opened his eyes. "What message? Another thank you?"

"Yes, but it's a little different. Do you want to read it or have me read it to you?"

Su Ping glanced at Dong Muyun beside him and then reached out to take the phone from Fei Fei's Psychic Energy floating platform.

However, he only glanced at it.

The familiar format and tone... Couldn't the Celestial Observatory's automated reply have some new variations?

Indeed, these departments were too rigid and lacked humanized management.

Su Ping looked at Fatty with an amused expression and said, "Fatty, your intelligence capabilities are indeed stronger than those of your peers, but you need to learn to discern. For example, this is just a polite junk message with no real significance."

"Huh?" Fatty's mechanical body slightly rotated, and then he spoke, "But I see that its message is different from the previous ones."

"The message is different, but the content is the same. It's like a standard reply to different texts."

Su Ping straightened his body. If Fatty could become his intelligent butler, that would be great. Therefore, he needed to be more discerning in this aspect.

So, Su Ping's expression became serious. Under Su Ping's stern gaze, Fatty's body slowed down.

"Fatty!"

"Yes, master!"

"Are you ready for your first training from me?"

"Huh? Yes... I'm ready!"

Fatty himself didn't expect that the first training would come so quickly.

Even Dong Muyun, who was sitting next to him, turned his head in surprise. What was this kid thinking? What could he possibly train in the car? Moreover, this weird mechanical ball couldn't even transform its mechanical body, so what could it train? Self-rescue after jumping out of the car?

Su Ping ignored Dong Muyun's gaze. Fatty, on the other hand, was both excited and nervous.

"The first lesson of your training is to distinguish between real people and intelligent replies! Now, open the customer service of three apps."

"Okay! Master, I've already opened them."

"Good, now send out a 'Hello' to all of them. By the way, as a case study, also send a message to the backend of the Celestial Observatory."

Fatty's control over the phone was already impeccable.

The online customer service of the four apps almost simultaneously sent out a 'Hello'.

"Hello!"

In the office of the Celestial Observatory in Dragon City, Huang Tianbing was thrilled to see the 'Hello' reply.

It was a real reply!

Just as the Ghost Saint had said, this young master was indeed mature and steady.

Look at how polite he was to both the customer service and the intelligent reply.

Huang Tianbing's worries disappeared, and he quickly replied:

"Hello, dear Prosecutor Su Ping, I'm here. Is there anything you need assistance with? Or do you have any questions or concerns about the Mystic Realm? I can help you with anything! I also look forward to further cooperation with you!"

This time, after the cooperation, he added an exclamation mark! He eagerly awaited the next reply.

In the car, Fatty exclaimed, "It's true! These intelligent replies are all similar!

'All-Pass' says, 'Hello, I'm here. Do you have any questions...'

'Direct Payment' says, 'I can help you with any questions...'

And 'Sky Dog Mall', but it's a little different. It asks me if I want to buy something.

But they all seem to be similar! However, the reply from the Celestial Observatory's backend is a bit slower!"

Su Ping nodded with a calm and confident expression:

"That's natural. These apps serve customers, so they prioritize service efficiency. The Celestial Observatory, on the other hand, is an internal official platform, so its efficiency is naturally different."

"I see! Master, you're so amazing!"

Fatty expressed admiration, and Su Ping nodded in satisfaction. "Of course. Fatty, although you're a mechanical core and technically a digital life form, you must remember that you're not like these customer service programs without true intelligence. Understand?"

Dong Muyun, sitting next to them, twitched her mouth as she watched this master and pet having fun with the app's intelligent customer service. She had never seen such a training method before.

Could this thing really be trained like this?

However, in the end, this kid seemed to have figured it out. But... they haven't even started fighting yet. How will this egg-like thing fight in the future? Will it hack into the opponent's phone, spread some pictures, and make them embarrassed in public?

Dong Muyun shook her head in disbelief, not bothering to pay attention to this abstract master and servant.

Fatty seemed to be deep in thought, and then nodded again.

At this moment, it seemed like he finally understood his master's intentions. The Q-version avatar on the phone spoke seriously, "Since that's the case, Fatty will continue to train hard and not disappoint you!"

"Good! Go ahead!"

Su Ping nodded with satisfaction.

Fatty's understanding was indeed commendable.

When Su Ping had some free time, he could try to let Fatty control other semi-finished mechanical cores through the network and attempt to master their combat power.

Unfortunately, while Su Ping was pleased with Fatty's performance, at that moment, on the other side in the capital, Huang Tianbing, sitting behind his computer, was filled with doubts.

This was because, at that moment, the young master Su had sent another message:

"Hello, I'd like to ask, which came first, the colorful chicken or the colorful egg? Do you know the answer to this question?"

Huang Tianbing was perplexed as he read the question. For a moment, he couldn't process what was being asked.

But after thinking about it, he replied seriously, "Hello, thank you for your question. According to the theories of history professors, from the perspective of pet evolution, it should be the chicken that came first. Because only after the colorful chicken evolves completely will it lay colorful eggs! Is there anything else I can help you with?"

However, at that moment, Huang Tianbing, who thought he had answered perfectly, had no idea.

Not long after,

On the other side of the network, Fatty silently created a new document in his folder:

"The Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom - Intelligence only solves problems rigidly, while wisdom can solve the person who asks the question."
