Chapter 619: This World Has Secrets

Little Deeny had been observing Su Yang’s situation in the bedroom.

On that day, Li Runze had some matters to attend to at home and had not gone to work, so she could free her eight cores to do other things.

That was why she had left a few cores behind to deal with Su Yang’s matters.

She waited for another four hours and her patience was running out. Suddenly, Su Yang sat up from the bed.

At that moment, Little Deeny was so excited that she almost jumped out of his seat. In a flash, she appeared beside Su Yang and threw herself into his embrace.

“Master, I was so worried about you.”

Su Yang was still gathering his spirit energy. When he heard Little Deeny’s words, he almost lost his train of thought. He opened his eyes and looked at Little Deeny.

Little Deeny was already in tears.

‘Clearly, Spirit Building’s unreliable words have scared her, causing her to be worried for me all this time.

Su Yang patted her back and comforted her, “I’m fine, I’m fine. Be a good girl now. Aren’t I fine now?”

As he spoke, Su Yang felt that the spiritual energy that he had been mobilizing seemed to be “rising”. Su Yang felt that he was still unfamiliar with spiritual energy and seemed a little distant…

‘I seem to be sluggish and slow when I “issue my orders” to them. I’m not able to get the hang of this yet.

‘I’ve been trying my best to control my spiritual energy earlier, but it wasn’t being very “obedient”. Then, now that I’m not controlling them, they slowly rise on their own.’

A moment later, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered in Su Yang’s eyes. His eyes were like Spirit Building’s as they shone with a gold light.

However, unlike Spirit Building, the gold light in Spirit Building’s eyes was like the sun, while Su Yang’s eyes were only a faint gold color. If one did not look closely, they would not be able to tell the difference between them.

But that was enough. Su Yang felt the scene before him change as if he had seen something different.

‘I feel like I’m living in a world filled with spiritual energy.

‘Spiritual energy is everywhere in the air, in the walls and on the ground. All in all, it’s everywhere.

‘However, the strange thing is that this spiritual energy doesn’t seem to exist in isolation. It has fused with other substances and it seems to be slowly flowing along a vein.’

Su Yang lowered his head to look at Little Deeny once more. When he took a look, he was shocked.

In his eyes, Little Deeny’s clothes did not seem to be there at all, there was nothing covering her in Su Yang’s eyes. His eyes had fallen square onto Little Deeny’s clear body.

‘Every part of Little Deeny’s body can be seen clearly.

‘What’s even more amazing is that Little Deeny also has spiritual energy. However, there isn’t much, only a small ball of it. Furthermore, it’s only present in her butt, in other words, her tailbone which seems to be the same as humans.’

Su Yang pondered for a while and remembered that Little Deeny could be considered a cell phone monster that’s achieved [Advanced Life Evolution]. However, she was unable to leave the virtual space.

Previously, Su Yang had used professional equipment to check that she, Pool, Bubbles, Janet, Qing Zhu and the rest of the [Advanced Life Evolution] monsters were no different from humans.

After reading through Little Deeny’s spiritual energy, Su Yang turned to look at Spirit Building. However, the moment he saw her, he almost blinded himself.

He was actually blinded!

That was because in his eyes, Spirit Building’s whole body was shining in an extreme gold glow. Especially her hands, which looked like they were holding two suns. It was so dazzling that it was scary.

Su Yang lowered his head and looked at himself. He realized that there was a lot of gold light on his body, but it was not comparable to Spirit Building’s.

He was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Su Yang gave up. ‘You really are quite awesome, you old monster. I guess I can’t deal with you just yet!

‘Hmph! I’ll endure you for two more days. After I’ve cultivated for another 70 to 80 years, then I’ll take revenge on you for using me as a test subject!’

Then, Su Yang walked around the entire virtual space. He looked at all the little monsters and living beings. In the end, he realized that all the monsters had spiritual energy in their bodies, but the ordinary saplings from the real world did not have any traces of spiritual energy.

Su Yang exited the virtual space and focused his gaze on the real world.

Strangely, there was no spiritual energy in the real world.

Not only was there no spiritual energy in the air, there was no spiritual energy in the buildings, ground, or sky.

It was like a world that lacked spiritual energy.

What was even stranger was that when Su Yang went downstairs to take a look at Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi, he realized that although they did not have any spiritual energy, there were traces of spiritual energy on their bodies. In Spirit Building’s words… There was life energy.

‘What’s going on?

‘It seems like as I come into contact with the source’s energy, I’ve uncovered some incredible secret…’

After he was done looking around in his house, Su Yang went to the streets to observe people.

After observing for a day, Su Yang found nothing.

Other than discovering that everyone in this world had natural energy but no spiritual energy, he did not gain anything new.

This puzzled Su Yang.

‘If there’s no spiritual energy in the world, then where did all the spiritual energy that had condensed into special abilities, into little monsters and into virtual spaces come from?

‘Was it given by the system?

‘But, how was the system born in the first place?’

Su Yang called the system.

Then something even more amazing happened!

Su Yang realized that the system interface, which was initially invisible to everyone else, was now emitting a faint layer of spiritual energy.

‘This meant that the system is also made of spiritual energy.

‘It seems that things were getting more and more interesting…

However, just like what Spirit Building had said, everything about spiritual energy was still in the experiment phase. There’s no way to increase it and only the basic utilization methods can be used. In fact, other than myself, it seems like there’s no way to activate the other little monsters’ spiritual energy either.

‘Our understanding of everything is still at the most basic level.

‘Therefore, these secrets can only be slowly unraveled with the research on spiritual energy…’

Su Yang had also decided on a future plan based on this situation. He would continue to use the system to increase his strength so that he could obtain more core abilities and information to increase the process of decryption. Then, he would study spiritual energy and crack the system and the secrets of the world.

Of course, if he wanted to improve his own ability as soon as possible, the most important thing to do would be the release of “Wolf Warriors”.

That night, Su Yang sent Pan Zhaodi to fetch Zhao Licheng. After a day and night, Zhao Licheng was obviously different from before. He was in high spirits as if he had been reborn.

The moment he saw Su Yang, he knelt on the ground and expressed that he would work hard for Su Yang and be of value to Su Yang and would not let him down.

Su Yang did not say much. The next day, he brought him to Jiadian E-Commerce Company, appointed him as the CEO of Jiadian E-Commerce Company and left.

Su Yang did not pave the way for him, nor did he appease the other employees in the company. ‘If a five-star talent can’t even solve such a small problem, he might as well be sent back to the circus.’

As for the string of numbers that Zhao Licheng and his wife revealed, according to Zhao Licheng, it was their common password and only they knew it.

The password for all their accounts was this string of numbers and some letters.

As for the meaning of this string of numbers… It was actually meaningless. However, when they got married, they joked that they were going to build a secret place that belonged to their family in a secret place.

Hence… they created a QQ group. The group number was this string of numbers: 664**** 29.

There were only the two of them in the group. The two of them did not usually chat privately. If there was anything, they would chat in the group. It could be considered as a little fun between husband and wife.

According to what Zhao Licheng had said, the two of them used to fantasize that after they gave birth and the child was slightly older, they would pull the child in as well. This group would then become a small home for the three of them.

When the child had a wife and child, he would bring them in as well.

This group became a witness to the rise and fall of their family.

Su Yang was touched when he heard that. Then, he felt that Zhao Licheng was really a loyal user of Tencent. ‘He’s got investments in Tencent and even his family’s set up in Tencent as well.’

Even though he was complaining, Su Yang still secretly searched for the group number and took a peek.

The group chat had changed from two to three. Perhaps it was the revived Zhao Licheng’s new QQ account.

‘This should be a strange romance between old couples…’

On Monday, Su Yang rushed to the capital and attended the news conference with Wu Feng and the others.

Although it was called a press conference, it was actually a promotional conference.

Even Su Yang’s speech at the press conference was all planned. Su Yang followed the script and praised “Wolf Warriors” and Wu Feng.

After the press conference, Wu Feng, the host, treated Su Yang to a meal.

Su Yang gladly went to the appointment. The two of them ate a very private meal and talked about the next promotion and distribution of profits.

Wu Feng said that he had done some research before the premiere and knew that his box office appeal was not good enough. No matter how much publicity there was, it would not be of much use.

Now that they had an advantage in terms of scheduling and screening schedules, they might as well reduce the initial publicity costs and focus on the post-release publicity.

Because of this, the distributor’s workload was very small and Wu Feng’s fee was lowered to 5%, which was the lowest.

As for the rest of the taxes, Wu Feng did some calculations for Su Yang. He went on and on about it. After all, his main goal was to obtain the greatest benefits for everyone.

Su Yang looked at Wu Feng. Listening to Wu Feng’s nagging, he felt that Wu Feng was actually a little nervous.

‘His first movie had failed and it’s rare for the movie to gain the support of the military and myself, so he’s under a lot of pressure. Today, he said that he wanted to have a chat, but it’s more like he’s trying to relieve his pressure.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang patted Wu Feng’s shoulder. “Brother Wu, relax. Even if this series fails, I’ll still invest in you in the sequel. In fact, it would not be a problem even if I have to invest everything in it..”

“If you’re really feeling pressured, we can just stop screening “Wolf Warriors” and go straight to “Wolf Warriors 2″.”

Wu Feng was amused by Su Yang’s words. “Brother Su, how can such an operation be doable? Releasing the sequel even when the first movie isn’t released.”

Su Yang laughed out loud. “There was, there was! Someone really did that!”

Wu Feng smiled and shook his head, feeling that Su Yang was teasing him.

However, it was precisely because of Su Yang’s jibber-jabber that Wu Feng felt much more relaxed.

He took out his phone, unlocked it, opened WeChat and passed it to Su Yang.

Su Yang took over the phone curiously as he listened to Wu Feng’s explanation. “Actually… I wasn’t so stressed at first. But the whole circle knows about your bet with Big Beard Liu…”

Wu Feng did not finish his sentence, but Su Yang understood what he meant. Everyone was waiting to see the results. To put it bluntly, most of them were waiting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves.

Su Yang put down the phone and looked at the screen. He realized that Wu Feng was really popular. He had many friends and WeChat groups.

“Battle King Pesticide… Entertainment Group”, “Chatting, Bantering”, “Pekingese in Beijing”, “Celebrity Chat Group”, etc.

If one only looked at the group names, they would think that they were a bunch of jokers, which was different from the entertainment industry that the masses were aware of.

Su Yang clicked on it and realized that some of the groups were larger with a few hundred people. Most of the members were actors or crew members. There were also directors, but fewer.

Some groups were smaller and had higher standards. They were all B-Ranked celebrities or famous directors.

But, without exception, most of the chat groups were talking about “Wolf Warriors” and the bet. There were all sorts of comments, but most of them were not positive ones.
