Professor Mo Xuan's entire fortune!
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
As Mo Xuan's disciple, he knew very well what it meant. It was no exaggeration to say that his teacher was one of the richest men in the entire Federation. His wealth was comparable to that of an entire country!
More than a hundred years ago, when Li Yao had just joined the Grand Desolate War Institution as a freshman, Professor Mo Xuan, as the dean of the Refining Department, had devoted all his wealth to the 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit Project'. He was so poor that he had to borrow money everywhere he went.
However, as the 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit' became the first mass-produced Crystal Suit designated by the Union Army and was installed in more than ten legions, Professor Mo Xuan's fortune was completely reversed.
The 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit Project' did not belong to the Grand Desolate War Institution. It was basically the responsibility of Professor Mo Xuan and Yuan Manqiu. Not only was the original framework of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit redesigned by the two of them with the scraps of the Crystal Suit of the Star Ocean Imperium, most of the research and development funds had been raised by the two of them.
Therefore, they were the biggest beneficiaries of the project. Li Yao was only a researcher and test pilot who had joined the project later. His share was only a small fraction.
But the 'fraction' had brought Li Yao innumerable benefits every year in the future, which had been exchanged for countless training resources and laid a solid foundation for him to soar forward in the future.
When Li Yao returned from the Flying Star Sector for the first time, the income from the authorization of the 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit' had already been astronomical.
It was needless to mention the countless upgrades and derivative versions based on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in the hundred years that followed.
To this day, the 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit Family' was the best-selling Crystal Suit of the Xing Yao Federation in the past hundred years. Its low cost, sturdiness, and ease of maintenance had been fully carried out in the complicated and changeable environment of the seven Sectors and the harsh resource planets. It was very popular among the people of all social classes in the Federation, especially the ordinary people.
It was safe to say that wherever the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem of the Federation could be seen, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which was rusted and riddled with holes but still in use, making great contributions to the golden development of the Federation!
Leaving the illegal workshops aside, in the legal Crystal Suit factories, every Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit produced would have to pay a small fee to the original designer. After more than a hundred years, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was the best-selling Crystal Suit series in the Federation. Even Li Yao's share of the profit was astronomical. Professor Mo Xuan's share of the profit was inestimable!
This was only a small portion of Professor Mo Xuan's net worth.
It must be remembered that when the Glorious Sunlight Group was established in the Flying Star Sector, it was mainly a disguise for the Glorious Sunlight Magical Equipment Laboratory, which was owned by Professor Mo Xuan, who had turned into a 'star spirit' at that time.
Therefore, Professor Mo Xuan had a large share of the Glorious Sunlight Group, too, which was not much smaller than Li Yao's own.
Li Yao respected his professor very much. Neither he nor his professor were interested in money. Naturally, they did not care about such trifles.
Right now, the Glorious Sunlight Group was developing quite well. It was one of the top twenty corporations in the Federation. Professor Mo Xuan's share had soared to an astounding degree, too.
Also, Professor Mo Xuan had absorbed a lot of the computational ability of the 'star child' in the rebellion of the Immortal Cultivators led by Xiao Xuance. He had saved the Flying Star Sector together with Li Yao and indirectly changed the future of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the entire New Federation. His own computational ability had soared crazily, too. In many indicators, he was the best in the Federation!
With his remarkable computational ability, he was essentially a super crystal processor that boasted the soul of a human being. Professor Mo Xuan became the earliest developer of the game 'Civilization'.
The initial development was basically Li Yao's and Su Changfa's creative sparks. Lu Qingchen would take notes nearby, and Professor Mo Xuan would figure out a way to implement the game.
Naturally, Professor Mo Xuan had a lot of shares in the 'Civilization' project, too.
To this day, 'Civilization' had developed into a behemoth that influenced the entire Federation. Did Professor Mo Xuan's net worth need any explanation?
But he had invested all his wealth, which was enough to buy a planet, into the 'Tinder Plan' that seemed unattractive and could only affect billions of years in the future?
How immeasurable the mysterious' Tinder Plan 'must have been if he had developed it to this day!
Li Yao couldn't help but feel that something was not right.
Long Yangjun was surprised. "This Professor Mo Xuan must've had a lot of wealth as one of the most influential people in the federation, right? But all his money has been invested in a groundless' pessimistic plan '. What a fool!"
"Who can say that he wasn't?"
Ling Xiaole opened her hands and said, "It is said that he had a huge argument with his ex-wife, Yuan Manqiu, another famous master of refining in the Federation, because of the issue. They even divorced because of it! It's true that he has devoted his life, his entire wealth, and his entire soul to the 'Tinder Plan'! "
Li Yao and Long Yangjun looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
As it turned out, it was not as simple as cheating. The whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.
Li Yao had come to Professor Mo Xuan partly to investigate Lu Qingchen's background. His main purpose was to find a reliable channel to reach out to Ding Ling Dong and Jin Xinyue through Mo Xuan.
But now, it seemed that …
Professor Mo Xuan was gradually becoming the real 'protagonist'!
"Teacher, what exactly happened to you? A whole hundred years have passed. What exactly have you become? Or …"
While Li Yao was pondering, the shuttle shivered and slowly stopped on a silver track close to the ground.
There was green grass on both sides, a gentle breeze in front of him, and a blue sky, white clouds, and bright sunlight above his head. Although he knew that it was just a virtual illusion, he still felt refreshed.
Cheers and laughter entered Li Yao's ears. The cheers were like a brook, and the laughter was like silver bells ringing.
Looking in the direction of the sound, there were hundreds of primary school students playing on the lawn, playing with each other. There were also a few teachers in white dresses participating, playing games with the children. It was as if they were out for a picnic, a spring outing, or an autumn outing.
What was different from other elementary school outings was that every child here was accompanied by … a weird object.
Li Yao blinked, not knowing how to describe it.
Some of the objects floating next to the elementary school students seemed to be some sort of furry, round, and cute pets, like the 'puji critters' that had short and stupid wings in Li Yao's memories.
But some of the elementary school students had raging dragons floating above their heads, which looked a bit scary. But the elementary school students were not bothered at all. Even the pretty girls ignored the ferocious beasts above their heads.
Some of the elementary school students were followed by glittering puppets, some of which were even living people!
Some of these people were dressed in Daoist robes or sword attire. They looked like ancient cultivators who had transmigrated from forty thousand years ago.
Some of them, on the other hand, were wearing mustard-seed combat suits with the 'Demon Beast Detector' that Li Yao was very familiar with on their faces.
Some of them even had pure white wings on their backs and glamorous horns on their heads, as if they were the kings of the demon race.
Every elementary school student had such a 'being' around them.
Before Li Yao figured out what was going on, he saw two tall and strong boys not far away colliding with an existence that was following them closely like a guardian!
"Ha! I've finally got a chance today. Look at my grandpa. It's the ninth generation of the latest model. You haven't seen it before, have you? I'm sure that your grandpa will be beaten to a pulp! "
"Hehe. The ninth generation is nothing. Although my grandpa is the eighth generation, his combat system was upgraded yesterday with quite a few brand-new techniques!"
"Stop bragging. Watch how awesome I am. Let's kill him!"
"Bring it on. I'm not scared of you!"
The two boys, who looked like calves, hugged each other and rolled into weeds and mud. The two 'grandpas' behind them floated into the air and fought fiercely, too.
What slightly surprised Li Yao was that the moves of the two 'old grandpas' were quite similar to that of experts. Glamorous and dazzling auras of sabers and swords were spreading out like fireworks when they raised their hands.
Had it not been for the fact that Li Yao did not sense any intense spiritual waves, he would've thought that the two 'grandpas' were real people.
Sure enough, the teacher-in-charge at the side quickly noticed the scuffle between the two primary school students. He quickly ran over and lightly pressed a button on his wrist crystal processor. With a "Shua" sound, the "old grandpas" above the heads of the two kids who were fighting brilliantly turned into two streaks of light and were sucked into the teacher's wrist crystal processor.
"Xiaolong, Xiaoqi, it's you again! Old grandpas are here to teach you knowledge, not to play around! You are not allowed to use the grandpas for three days! "
The teacher in the white dress said angrily.
"Three days? Please don't, teacher! "
The two boys immediately shrank their necks and begged for mercy with tears in their eyes.
Li Yao looked at Ling Xiaole. Ling Xiaole stuck her tongue out and opened her hands, indicating that it was the first time that she had seen such a weird scene and that she knew nothing about the Tinder Base, either.
While the three of them were suspicious, a little blue bird carved out of crystals hovered above the shuttle for a long time before it slowly landed in front of the shuttle. It 'shook its body' and turned into the image of a pure, tranquil, elegant, and somewhat lonely woman who looked like an orchid in a deep valley. She looked at them with a smile.
Li Yao's heart slightly trembled.
He had seen such an image on a train north to the Grand Desolate Plateau more than a hundred years ago.
Of the seven Cultivators who sacrificed themselves valiantly to save a whole train of ordinary people, Wei Qingqing, who had the lowest Cultivation, the weakest combat ability, and the least need to stand up for them. She was … the free little bird.
He had not seen her for a hundred years, but he had never forgotten her.
It had nothing to do with lust, but it was something deeper and more intense than lust.
Li Yao had awakened his spiritual root and embarked on the path of Cultivation because of the encouragement of Wei Qingqing and the rest of them.
The scene where Wei Qingqing and the rest of them sacrificed themselves became part of his belief and deeply melted into his soul, never to be erased.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Wei Qingqing. I am a teacher here. You may also call me 'Miss Wei'. I will be leaving for billions of years in the future tomorrow. You are welcome to see me off."
