By the time Li Jialing completely woke up, seven days had passed since the battle of the Great Iron Plants. They had long evacuated to hundreds of kilometers away from the Great Iron Plants and blown up the main mines and tunnels on the way, cutting off the possibility for the Immortal Cultivators to attack through the Great Iron Plants.
The subsequent treatment and strengthening for him were actually carried out in an enormous drilling train.
As Li Yao expected, Li Jialing, who was young and not very steady mentally, did have obvious resistance to the existence of the two little fellows.
Or rather, Li Jialing's reaction was more like the stance that a "normal person" should have when they were faced with information lives. He was partly scared, partly wary, partly confused, and partly shocked.
He was not like the "freaks", "terrorists", and "superdevils" such as Li Yao, Grand Guardian Xu Zhicheng, and Li Jialing, who could talk and laugh peacefully without any grudges.
As a matter of fact, when Li Yao introduced Xiaoming and Wenwen to Li Jialing for the first time, the golden-haired young man was dumbfounded for five minutes at first. Then, he waved and screamed in the medical drugs, unable to accept such an "outrageous" fact at all.
In the following days, he also quarreled with the two little fellows three times a day on average, carrying out heated cross-species cultural communication.
Of course, the reason why he quarreled and even bared his teeth at the two little fellows when he saw them might have had nothing to do with such a magnificent topic as the destruction of the civilization of mankind. It was purely because the two little fellows had been tormenting him in the weirdest and cruelest ways every day, exploiting the last drop of potential deep inside his cells. Also, because he was heavily wounded and unable to move, he could only be at the mercy of the two little fellows.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Li Jialing shrieked miserably. "Just wait for it. You won't get what you want. I'm not as gullible as Brother Yao. I'll certainly watch you closely on behalf of the civilization of mankind!"
"Do as you wish."
Xiaoming and Wenwen, on the other hand, replied with a smile, "If you really want to watch us closely, it is all the more reason for you to squeeze out all your potential while holding back the pain and boosting your combat ability to the maximum! Speaking of which, Uncle Li, are you sure that you are qualified to represent the civilization of mankind with your golden hair and the head of a tiger? If an ignorant onlooker were to evaluate the three of us, he would surely think that we are more human than you are. "
"Stinky brat, who's the tiger? I'm the lion, the Golden Lion!"
Li Jialing was in so much pain that his tears and snot were flowing out at the same time. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Don't think that you can deceive and buy me over by treating my wounds and training me with such petty favors. I won't be fooled! You clearly know that I harbor such deep enmity towards you, yet you still put in so much effort to help me cultivate. What exactly are you scheming? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose to get back at me for calling you 'stinky brats', didn't you?! "
"Sorry, but our computational ability is rather precious and limited. Who has the time to play the childish game of 'stinky brats' with you, Uncle Li?"
Li Xiaoming sniffed. "We are not interested in the boring business of buying you, deceiving you, or retaliating against you at all. It's just that Dad does have a point. Some sort of 'safety valve' or 'breakwater' is indeed needed between the information lives and the civilization of mankind.
"Did you know that on the super crystal processors that are extremely complicated in structure and often overloaded to the point that the temperature rises to unbearable levels at any moment, similar 'safety valves' will be installed.
"Once the temperature of the super crystal processor is too high and the load is too heavy, and it is about to collapse on itself, the 'safety valve' will be activated to kill the overly complicated and dangerous processes and activate the cooling system.
"The existence of such 'safety valves' is not only beneficial for the users of the super crystal processors but also for the super crystal processors themselves. If somebody keeps an eye on them all the time, it will be unlikely that the super crystal processors will burn themselves out so easily!
"For us, the logic is the same. After careful calculations and repetitive deductions, if such a 'safety valve' like Uncle Li keeps an eye on us all the time, our overall odds of survival and development will be greatly improved, at least by 20%!
"In fact, when our two main processes really go out of control and go on a rampage, if you can really kill us, it will be a good thing for the other processes and even for the whole. It's like cutting off branches that are growing crazily so that the whole tree will grow even more luxuriantly. There's no need to look at me like an idiot. I know you don't understand, but it's fine as long as you remember that you have a great responsibility."
"Yes, your responsibilities are quite great. So, please seize every second to train yourself crazily and try to be mature as soon as possible."
Li Wenwen also chimed in, "Not that I'm criticizing you, Uncle Li, but you can be really childish sometimes. You are even more childish than Dad. I really don't know what to do with the two of you."
The two little fellows put their hands in their pockets and shook their heads at Li Jialing.
Li Jialing felt that his veins were about to break apart, and all the blood was about to spurt out of his eyes.
"Brats, is it too late for me to cut ties with your father now?"
Gnashing his teeth, he asked the two little fellows for advice.
Such a scene had to be repeated at least three times every day.
However, even though he was in too much pain to pee, Li Jialing had to admit that they, including the underground hominoids, could not do without the help of the information lives right now.
Without the spiritual puppets that the two little fellows controlled to help move assets, maintain and operate the penetrators, and maintain the air circulation and the temperature adjustment magical equipment in the underground towns, more than half of the workers and their families who were evacuated from the Great Iron Plants a while ago would've been killed.
But right now, not just the workers and their families, even the dozens of underground towns in the destination of their evacuation, including the 10084 district, had hope to survive until the real brightness arrived.
More importantly, the two little fellows had also upgraded and modified a lot of spiritual puppets.
It was impossible for them to carry too many spiritual puppets on their way to escape from the capital planet. As they went further and further away, their control over the spiritual puppets would be weaker and weaker, until they were completely blocked by the rocks in the end, and the connection would be cut off.
With that in mind, they simply modified the crystal processors of the spiritual puppets and sealed a lot of integrated commands in advance, making the operation mode even more "idiotic". Even the ordinary people could command the spiritual puppets to work easily in the most common language.
There were a lot of skilled workers in the Great Iron Plants who had abundant experience working with the spiritual puppets in the first place. It was not impossible to teach them the most fundamental operation mode after only a few days.
After that, they left dozens of spiritual puppets in every underground town to carry out the most dangerous missions for human beings, including the daily maintenance and maintenance of the town maintenance system. In such a way, the safety and comfort of the town would be significantly improved.
Everything that the two little fellows did for the ordinary people below the ground was seen and remembered by the ordinary people.
Even Xu Zhicheng, who had awakened his spiritual root, studied a lot of jade chips, and worked as the Grand Guardian of Nepenthe for years, found it hard to understand what an "information life" was. The ordinary people below the ground who were illiterate were even more confused and indifferent.
They only knew that these two little dolls, who looked like they were carved from jade, had incredible divine abilities. They could bring them hope to live, and they were very willing to help them.
That was enough.
Wherever the two little fellows went, they were as popular as Li Yao and Long Yangjun. No, because of their highly confusing appearance, they were even more loved by the ordinary people below the ground than Li Yao and Long Yangjun. The simplest example was that even though the two little fellows had built a very precise and strict body management system, they still gained almost ten kilograms after only a couple of days because of the passionate "feeding" of the aunts!
Li Jialing could do nothing about such a scene.
In fact, he had contributed a lot in the battle of the Great Iron Plants. At the very least, he had fought bloody battles to the last moment! Naturally, the workers and their families of the Great Iron Plants did not forget his contributions and should be closer to him.
The only thing to blame was his current appearance. He was too powerful, too … domineering. The two little guys were right. If he, a golden-haired human-shaped lion, was placed next to a pair of delicate and pretty girls, who would be more popular? Was there a need to say?
Besides, not just the ordinary people below the ground, even Li Yao, Long Yangjun, and Li Jialing's own magical equipment maintenance, the reconnaissance and blockage of the squads, and the intrusion and interference of the Spiritual Nexus could not have been achieved without Xiaoming and Wenwen's assistance.
Long Yangjun's Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" had been completely crippled in the battle of the Great Iron Plants. Li Yao's bad luck that he had to blow up a Crystal Suit or a Colossus in every battle had also been infected.
Thankfully, the three experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage on the Immortal Cultivators' side had all left their Colossi.
Among them, Yue Wushuang's Colossus "Moon Devil" had been detonated by her on her own initiative. The core components were almost all shattered and melted, and they could not be recycled at all.
However, "Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi's and "Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen's Colossi were both spiritual residences. The cockpits had been pierced through and blown up, and the rest of the components, including the limbs, had been torn apart at best. A lot of units and components could still be recycled.
Under the careful calculation and overload drive of the two little fellows, Li Yao personally gathered the debris of Long Yangjun's, Li Jianyi's, and Song Huanzhen's Colossi. They were reborn and ready to fight in the sea of stars again.
The remaining components and armor were simply used by Li Yao to maintain Li Jialing's Transformative Crystal Suit extravagantly. An unparalleled super Ares Extension was even produced.
Building an Ares Extension with the armor and components of a Colossus was, in Li Yao's words, "Even the emperor of the Imperium has never been so extravagant!"
After the job was done, Li Yao was interested in naming Long Yangjun's new Colossus.
"I don't plan to change the name. Let's just call it 'Heavenly Crystal'."
