Chapter 783: The Plan To Control The World

At 11 pm, Su Yang, who was reading on the sofa, heard Little Deeny’s voice. “Master, it’s time for the experiment.”

Su Yang looked at his watch. ‘She’s right, it’s time…’

At that thought, he took out his glass phone from his pocket and called Old Pei.

“Du… Du… Du…”

Shortly after, the call went through.

Su Yang asked, “Old Pei, are you ready? Is there no one there right now?”

Old Pei’s slightly aged voice came from the other end of the line. “Ready, Boss.”

Su Yang used the Jiadian phone as a node and arrived at Old Pei’s side.

After appearing in the real world, Su Yang realized that he was in a huge warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of raw materials including gold, silver, copper, iron, and sand. They were all the raw materials Su Yang needed.

Standing in front of these materials, other than Old Pei, was the Clown Sea Serpent with a face full of smiles.

“Oh, what a coincidence.” Su Yang greeted the Clown Sea Serpent.

The Clown Sea Serpent smiled and bowed. “Good evening, Master.”

Su Yang asked, “Why are you here?”

The Clown Sea Serpent said, “Master, this is your first time in Central Asia, of course I have to welcome you.”

Su Yang nodded and looked at Old Pei. “Old Pei, let’s begin.”

Old Pei nodded. “Yes, Boss.”

As he spoke, Old Pei took out his glass phone and started to scan the raw materials.

Instantly, the piles of raw materials disappeared like they were swallowed by the green light.

Su Yang’s gaze followed Old Pei as he watched the raw materials disappear.

When half of the items in the warehouse disappeared, a notification popped up in front of Su Yang.

[Virtual Space Transportation Upper Limit Reached]

Little Deeny and the rest did not have the help function, so they could only see the hint rather than the exact reason or the method to break through the upper limit.

However, Su Yang did. Hence, he clicked on the system’s help function and clicked the notification before him once again.

Instantly, an explanation appeared before him.

[Virtual space exists between virtual and reality. If you use it as a long-range channel, you will need to expend a certain amount of spiritual energy to transport matter remotely to the virtual space.]

[Specific Criteria: 10 tons of supplies per day, 300 tons of supplies per month. Anything exceeding this, a cost of 1,000 coins per ton must be paid.]

Su Yang almost vomited blood when he saw the notification.

Actually, the problem was not with the low upper limit, but how Su Yang had to spend so many coins the moment he wanted to exceed the upper limit!

‘This completely doesn’t conform to the “Conservation Of Energy” theorem! Does it?!

‘In this case, is the system giving me 10,000 coins worth of teleportation per day for free? Where is all the spiritual energy for all of this coming from?’

Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, another notification popped up before him.

[The spiritual energy required for daily transportations in the virtual space is collected by the spiritual energy that overflows from the virtual space every day. The amount of spiritual energy per day is related to the level, size, the number of living beings and items in the virtual space.]

Seeing this, Su Yang was speechless.

‘This…

‘This somehow makes sense.

‘In this case,actually, there were very few things that could be transported into the virtual space in the past. However, because the things that I transported were so light, the upper limit was not triggered in the first place.

‘Now that I think about this… Of course, even the few thousand saplings that were transported were not that heavy in total. In fact, I doubt they might have even weighed a ton.

‘So, if I look at it this way, it does make sense.

‘However, as much as it does make sense, the idea of having to spend more coins to purchase more transportation limits is absolutely wasteful.

‘According to my calculations, I could produce 2,000 units of glass phones with 10 tons worth of materials.

‘So, with 4,000 glass phones per day, I could earn about 8,000 coins. Meanwhile, these 8,000 coins would only be able to increase the production rate by 700 units per day, which wouldn’t be worth it in the slightest.’

At that thought, Su Yang dismissed the idea immediately.

However, at the same time, another idea popped up in Su Yang’s mind.

The idea was… The [Descent] and [Half-Descent] ability.

Actually, before the experiment that day, Su Yang had already thought about it. ‘The transportation of materials is all done through being scanned by the glass phone, so it’s only normal for there to be an upper limit.

‘However, the space between [Descent] and [Half-Descent] exists between reality and virtual. Thus, in theory, they should have existed in this world after they’ve descended, and should not be subjected to this upper limit.

‘I could take Socot Island as an example. It shouldn’t be possible that even seawater wouldn’t be able to flow into the virtual space after the upper limit has been reached, should it?

‘If that’s true, then every time it reaches its upper limit, would it form an empty region within the center of Hawaii? Would the seawater stop flowing?

‘It’s very easy to realize that this doesn’t make sense.

‘So, if I follow through on this theory…

‘After I [Half-Descent] a room, it should not be restricted by this upper limit.

‘After all, if there really is an upper limit, then people who don’t know that there’s a virtual space wouldn’t be able to enter the room after reaching the upper limit, would they?

‘In that case, wouldn’t it mean that even oxygen would be able to travel through the room?

‘It doesn’t make sense at all.’

At that thought, Su Yang made a bold assumption. The [Descent] and [Half-Descent] abilities aren’t affected by the upper limit at all.

Actually, everything that happened before that night was just Su Yang’s assumption. However, the notification that he received from the system made him believe his own judgment even more, the fact that spiritual energy was expended to enter and exit the virtual space was because of the long-range transportation. On the other hand, neither [Descent] nor [Half-Descent] were long-range, so Su Yang should be able to bypass them.

As for the matter of how Su Yang would be able to verify this, it was very simple…

Su Yang gave Little Deeny a call. “Little Deeny, fly to the border of the virtual space and see if the seawater has entered the virtual space.”

“Ok, Master.”

After listening to Su Yang’s instructions, Little Deeny appeared at the edge of the virtual space in a flash.

After a while, Su Yang heard Little Deeny’s voice. “Master, you’re right. The seawater is still undulating and continuously flowing in and out.”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Yang’s face as if everything was within his control. ‘As I expected…’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang activated the virtual space’s [Descent] function.

Immediately, the 3D images of two zones appeared before him.

Su Yang thought about it for a while. ‘In order to save as much resources as possible as well as reduce the risk of me being exposed as much as possible, I’ll connect a corner of the warehouse to an empty space next to the virtual space’s [Cellphone Development Factory] and prioritize the “Real World”.’

After making his choice, a 20-square-meter cement clearing suddenly appeared on the ground next to the phone factory.

Then, Su Yang called the Clown Sea Serpent over and asked him to carry a box of iron ores to that corner.

The Clown Sea Serpent obediently carried out his instructions.

Sure enough, something magical happened. In the virtual space, a box of iron ore appeared out of thin air.

Then, Su Yang ordered some Little Monster Beans to move the box of iron ore to the [Cellphone Development Factory].

A moment later, in front of Su Yang, the Clown Sea Serpent, and Old Pei, the box of iron ores moved to the border and… Disappeared.

“Done!”

Su Yang held out a thumbs up.

At the same time, the Clown Sea Serpent and Old Pei clapped and cheered for Su Yang.

Listening to the applause, although Su Yang was a little proud of his own intelligence… ‘Why do I feel that… I’m a little old fashioned?

‘What’s with this feeling of a chairman being s*cked up by his subordinates?

‘This feels so official!’

While complaining, Su Yang found a place and continued to make his plans.

Even though he had found a way to bypass the transportation’s upper limit, Su Yang knew that this was only the first step.

After all, descending a small area and having people transport the supplies inside before producing them in the virtual space was very inconvenient and unsafe.

‘I would be fine if this was done in a chaotic region like Central Asia, but someone would definitely notice that something’s wrong if we did this in China.’

Hence, Su Yang thought about it and decided to split it into three steps.

He wanted to source for locations where he could obtain the glass phone’s raw materials globally.

Because Central Asia was rather chaotic and no one paid attention to it, Su Yang had asked Old Pei to transport it to the warehouse there.

On the other hand, the resources harvested from America by King Latin would be transported to Socot Island by a large ship and then transported to the [Cellphone Development Factory] for production.

As for the raw materials obtained within the country, Su Yang felt that since he had already secured lands for himself in the mountains, he might as well use [Half-Descent] on the [Cellphone Development Factory] to the industrial park in Shanghai.

When the time came, he would get the trucks transporting the raw materials to head to the industrial park and have the glass phones produced there.

That way, even if there were higher ups who wanted to conduct an inspection or visit, they would have somewhere to go.

As for the possibility of there being enemies who wanted to destroy or commit espionage…

‘Hmm… If they’re actually capable of doing something like that, our country would be thriving already.

‘Just look at those awesome machines in the [Cellphone Development Factory], not even a phone spirit like Little Deeny could tell what they were for even after looking through a bunch of information. Furthermore, the efficient processing of raw materials and the technologies used to make the glass phones aren’t something modern technology could comprehend.

‘So, I’m not afraid of there being anyone who’d be able to steal these technologies at all.

‘As for the risk of exposure…

‘I already have a factory, so what’s there to be exposed?

‘People think that it’s unreasonable for me to be able to gain such an awesome development? Then, is it reasonable for 2nanometer series chips to exist?

‘As long as it’s technology that could be displayed, there’s nothing unreasonable about it.’

Thus, after Su Yang gained more and more power, he became more and more generous as well!

Hence, after making all the decisions, Su Yang shared his thoughts with a few important little monsters before instructing them to carry out the plan from the next day onwards.

As they chatted, it soon past midnight, and the transportation upper limit of the virtual space was refreshed.

Thus, after Su Yang greeted Old Pei and the Clown Sea Serpent, he prepared to return to the virtual space.

However, before he could turn on his glass phone, the Clown Sea Serpent and Old Pei stopped him, saying that they still had something to talk about.

So, Su Yang looked at them curiously, not knowing what they wanted to say.

Then, Old Pei said in embarrassment, “Boss, I’ve gone through your plan, but there’s a problem. The area where you descended is relatively small and needs to be kept a secret, so I can’t get the workers to transport it there.”

Su Yang pondered for a moment before he took out a silver-white box from the virtual space and handed it to Old Pei.

“Old Pei, this is a shape shifting liquid metal avatar which can be controlled mentally. Plus, it has immense strength.

“In the future, you might have to work harder. After the workers leave, you’re going to have to transport the stuff there.”

Old Pei took the box and said boldly, “That’s fine. We’re serving the people after all.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Yes, that’s right. I am “the people”.’

After talking to Old Pei, Su Yang looked at the Clown Sea Serpent. “Why are you looking for me then?”

The Clown Sea Serpent grinned and said, “Master, I just discovered something very interesting.”

A few question marks popped up on Su Yang’s head. He did not know what the Clown Sea Serpent was referring to.

“Recently, I’ve been studying the situation of the whole world,” said the Clown Sea Serpent. “It turns out that the reason America is able to rob the world of its wealth is mainly because they are in control of Central Asia. Or rather, they’re in control of the equivalent of blood in the industry, petroleum.

“Moreover, the world’s petroleum production is mainly concentrated in three places, Central Asia, Russia, and America. Amongst these three, Central Asia is the most crucial source.

“On top of that, America controls China and Central Asia, which is the equivalent of controlling the entire industry. Plus, the world only uses USD in their transactions related to petroleum, so they’re able to harvest their entire world with finance as their strongest weapon.

“So, I’ve suddenly gotten an idea.

“If…” the Clown Sea Serpent paused, then added, “This is only “if”, Master.

“What if I use our powers to create a new armed forces in Central Asia, and a new alliance with us as its leader, and then have petroleum be removed from the shackles of USD? Would America be dealt with a heavy blow?

“In fact, we don’t even have to remove the shackles. Instead, we could just refuse to reduce the petroleum’s production rate according to America’s request, plus we could increase the unit price of petroleum. Then, we start to sell with lower margins but higher volume, wouldn’t America be dealt with a heavy blow all the same?”

Su Yang touched his chin and pondered.

After a while, he said, “America aren’t fools, so wouldn’t they be on their guard?”

The Clown Sea Serpent smiled and said, “In that case, let’s find a reason. For example, we can talk about the civil strife in Central Asia, the change of the king’s position, conduct a negotiation with Russia, and so on. In any case, we could use some seemingly reasonable excuse.

“Then, before we officially unshackle them, they would at most try to appease us without using force.

“Hence, during this period of time, we can take the opportunity to empty the stock market and plunder their wealth. Then we can develop ourselves. For example, we could build our [Large Ship Construction Dock], our aircraft carriers, and satellite missiles.

“By that time, the whole world will be under our control! We can have as many people as we want, and as many coins as we want!”

Hearing this, Su Yang was rendered speechless.

Then, he looked at the Clown Sea Serpent’s fanatic expression and felt that he had not misjudged him. ‘This guy is indeed someone who craves chaos!

‘However… Why does his plan seem so attractive?

‘If I could really do it, I wouldn’t have to worry about my coins and the number of people I could influence…’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang said calmly, “We’ll go ahead with your plans for now.”

Then, he added, “But… Don’t get exposed. Take your time.”

The Clown Sea Serpent grinned, revealing his signature evil smile. “As you command, my Master…”

Looking at the Clown Sea Serpent’s dark face, Su Yang suddenly thought of the Wangs.

As one of the most powerful forces in the country, the Wangs temporarily gave up on investigating Wang Jue and Su Yang due to the country’s intervention.

However, it was still a thorn in Su Yang’s heart.

‘I won’t be able to rest easily if I don’t resolve this issue.

‘After all, I doubt they would let me off the hook.’
