Chapter 115 The Internet Connection Project, Chi Shu's Great Adventure in the Starry Forest
"How did your talk with your mother go?"
"Everything is finished."
The Papal Palace was built on the mountainside, and Qian Renxue and Chi Ping were walking on the path to the summit.
"What's going on between you and that vixen? I just saw you two exchanging glances!" Qian Renxue said angrily.
Chi Ping smiled. "Jealous?"
"No!"
"It was just a quick chat. You know I can chat with anyone. Besides, the way you and the Pope were acting just now, like you wanted to devour each other. Hu Liena and I were standing there awkwardly, and somehow our thoughts just clicked. By the way, what's going on between you and the Pope? Why is there such hostility?"
Qian Renxue: "I should be asking you that! How did you know she's my mom? I don't remember telling you."
Chi Ping said, "If I can't even tell the bloodline, then I shouldn't be a researcher in the field of life sciences."
Qian Renxue said, "It's a long story. In short, she killed my father and tried to kill me when I was little."
"what?"
Shock, shock, and terror!
"That's ruthless?!"
No wonder I didn't see my father-in-law.
Chi Ping exclaimed incredulously, but then his expression turned to doubt. "But she seems to care about you quite a bit. Besides, would a woman who can lead the Spirit Hall to such power go this crazy? That's strange!"
"Blinded by lust for power!" Qian Renxue uttered four words to judge Bibi Dong.
"Okay, I don't want to talk about her anymore. When are you going back to Shrek?"
Chi Ping still had doubts, but upon closer reflection, Qian Renxue's statement made sense.
The ultimate career woman eliminates her husband and daughter in order to climb to the pinnacle of power.
It makes sense, but... it's still strange.
There's nothing, like love, responsibility, or even power, that forms the basis for a strong woman like Bibi Dong to have children.
Not to mention cutting off the child's father after the birth, or even wanting to kill the child! Even if it's for power, they need the child to solidify their position, so why would they want to kill the child?
There's probably some secret behind this.
—Let's investigate this secretly later.
"I'll leave after I hand you over to your grandfather."
"Is it in such a hurry?"
Chi Ping gently squeezed his girlfriend's hand; it was very soft.
"Little Tree and I have a plan concerning the future of the continent to begin, and I must go back to take care of Little Tree's main body."
Qian Renxue was a little confused. "What plan?"
Chi Ping chuckled, his voice filled with reminiscence and longing, "The Douluo Village Project is also known as the Continental Internet Project."
……
One month later, in Xiaoyun Village, Fasno Province.
The sunset climbed to the horizon, and dusk drew a tranquil curtain across the sky.
The houses made of bluestone stand side by side. The villagers return home early to light fires and cook, and smoke rises from the backyards of each household.
Starting about twelve years ago, the harvests in the fields have been increasing year by year, and there was even a wave of tax cuts five years ago.
In addition, with no bullies or idiotic nobles to bother them, the villagers' lives got better and better.
The mud-brick and stone-tiled houses have been renovated into a row of blue stone and black tiles, which is pleasing to the eye. The previous two meals a day have been changed to three meals a day, and meat has been served on the daily table. The children are all plump and healthy.
Eleven years ago, Xiaoyun Village had two hundred households; now, that number has grown to over three hundred, nearly a thousand people.
Around 6 o'clock, after finishing dinner, the families turned off their oil lamps and went out, carrying small stools, towards the village chief's house.
Although not everyone went out, the country lanes were still quite crowded.
The original muddy road has long been repaired and widened, and even paved with gravel and sand. Every ten meters along the roadside, there is a bamboo pole with a cute white and plump golden mushroom decoration hanging from the top.
"Hey? Second Uncle! You're here really early!"
"Oh, it's Xiaoyun. You're not late."
"Haha! I just wanted to see that 'TV series' that Koike Itsuki was showing! I wonder how far the little girl will get today."
"Xiaoping has really made something of himself; his daughter is so capable." They were all from the same village and mostly related by blood, so they chatted and laughed all the way.
Ahead of them, next to the Spirit Hall, stood a mushroom-shaped house with a red roof and white walls, emitting a soft glow.
There is a large square in front of the Mushroom House, which is connected to the square in front of the Spirit Hall.
Chi Tianping, who has grown a white beard, is maintaining order with his great-granddaughter.
It wasn't just villagers from this village who came; villagers from neighboring villages also came when they had free time.
At 6:30, the square was full of people, with a 150-inch super-large screen erected in front of the Mushroom House facing the square.
"Good evening, viewers! This is Chi Shu, the goddess of life and the internet, bringing you the show, The Great Adventure in the Starry Forest!"
Let the lovely and charming Miss Chishu lead everyone to experience the mysterious scenery of the largest Soul-Hunting Forest on the continent—the Star Dou Great Forest!
A lively female voice rang out from the broadcasts on all sides, and high-definition images were displayed on a large screen.
The picture appears to have been taken from high altitude. Ikegi's face occupies the left half, and he is smiling happily, making a peace sign with his left hand in front of his left eye. On the right side is a forest background, where a person surrounded by a blood-red aura with a bluish glow is exchanging blows with an earth dragon clad in iron armor and resembling a small mountain. The shockwaves knock down trees that are hundreds of meters high.
"Continuing from last time, this young lady arrived at area C12 of the Star Dou Great Forest and encountered a group of Soul Hunters with rather unfriendly attitudes..."
As Chi Shu explained, images were displayed on the screen like a PowerPoint presentation. Most of these images were taken from Chi Shu's first-person perspective, with a few taken from a third-person perspective.
"Thanks to my wisdom and courage, and after some friendly exchanges, the Ogre Soul Hunters have realized their mistakes, decided to repent, accept and uphold the peace pact, and work together to maintain love and peace! Let's give them a round of applause!"
The screen displayed a photo of seven people with bruised and swollen faces, along with Ike no Ki, all of whom shared the characteristic of having green-gold mycelial patterns on their necks.
It was a contract and a punishment, meaning the other party could no longer harm humans. If violated, the mycelium would trigger a life force chaos, causing cancer to instantly claim their lives. This was a byproduct of Ikehira and Ikeki's research on communication networks and the Light of Life; essentially, it was a detector and a rigid execution mechanism.
"After seeing off the Ogre Soul Hunters, we headed north."
The scene shifts to a forest.
"We encountered a ten-thousand-year-old frilled lizard..."
From a first-person perspective, the head of a one-meter-long blue lizard with a huge umbrella-shaped collar membrane on the back of its neck appears in the frame. As the camera zooms in, the lizard's membrane unfolds, revealing magnificent blue wind patterns.
As they continued to approach, when they were less than ten meters apart, the wind patterns lit up, and a hurricane-like breath swept in from all directions.
Wow!
The villagers, who were intently watching the screen, were startled by the rushing blue hurricane; some of the more timid ones even tumbled over.
But then he remembered it was just a picture, so he dusted himself off and sat up again to continue watching.
No one laughed at them; everyone's eyes were focused on the screen.
Where else in the past would I have had the chance to see something like this!
Following Chi Shu's explanation and combining it with the pictures, it felt as if I was also on an adventure in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Thrilling and exciting, with an unforgettable experience.
On the screen, the image flickered continuously, but the center was always on the frilled lizard, with the background being wood chips and leaves shredded by wind blades.
"That little lizard's pretty fierce! Watch me entwine it with mycelium!"
Chi Shu's voice was relaxed and easygoing, easing the tense atmosphere.
From a third-person perspective, the green-gold mycelium tangled and extended from the little girl's hand, like several monstrous pythons, smashing through the wind blades and approaching the frilled lizard.
The frilled lizard leaped to dodge, but the mycelium python changed direction and continued its pursuit.
The wind blades swept through, but they couldn't stop the speed of the strange python. Moreover, more mycelium pythons followed closely from all directions, attacking relentlessly.
Before long, the hurricane frilled lizard was tied up and placed on the ground.
In the square in front of the mushroom house, the villagers smiled with relief. It was unclear which side they had identified with.
"sharp!"
"This little girl is amazing!"
The camera continues, zooming in on the frilled lizard's nose before backing away to reveal its facial features, limbs, and most notably, its skin membrane.
"The Hurricane Frilled Lizard is a wind-attribute soul beast. The umbrella-shaped membrane on the back of its neck has the ability to gather wind, allowing it to unleash wind blades in a very short time. These wind blades can easily cut through trees as thick as a person's embrace," the camera pans to show the surrounding plants shredded by the wind blades. "Even ordinary thousand-year-old soul skills cannot withstand it. This is also the key to judging the Hurricane Frilled Lizard's cultivation level; the larger the area of its membrane and the more complex the patterns on it, the higher its cultivation level..."
After explaining for a few minutes, Chi Shu released a green light from his hand, and the Hurricane Frilled Lizard visibly recovered.
Then the mycelial python loosened its grip, and the frilled lizard fled as swiftly as the wind.
"Let's keep going!"
