237: Chapter 35: Updating Communication Features in Laptops 237: Chapter 35: Updating Communication Features in Laptops After swallowing that pill, Wang Yunxiao really felt nothing.
Let’s be reasonable, every dicine has a release ti; it’s not a herbicide that shows imdiate effects once ingested.
His focus remained on the notebook.
Li Mumu wrote her agreent to connect, and I haven’t even written yet!
Does the owner’s opinion not matter?
What kind of bootlicker’s notebook is this, having no integrity at all?
But then, thinking it over calmly…
Wait a second, did the notebook really accept as its master?
Was it because I took it into the bathroom and threatened it, that it agreed to let use it?
Ah, then no problem.
Recalling the initial incident, Wang Yunxiao suddenly felt a bit guilty.
By this ti, the notebook’s reboot process seed to have finished, and new text erged on the page.
“Connection activated, new features activated as follows.”
“1.
Detecting Magical Items.”
“2.
Detecting Magical Fluctuations.”
“3.
Establishing a communication channel.”
There were a few more lines of simple text annotations.
Detecting Magical Fluctuations was originally a feature of Wang Yunxiao’s notebook, capable of detecting Echo Erosion residue on him…
The notebook describes it as Magical Fluctuations; it seems from the annotations that they are different nas for the sa thing.
Detecting Magical Items must be a feature on Li Mumu’s side; well, isn’t that just like a treasure map?
As for establishing a communication channel, according to what Li Mumu just said, it seems that ssages can be sent through these two notebooks?
Wang Yunxiao silently watched as a cartoon bear pattern slowly erged on his notebook.
Li Mumu imdiately tested out the communication feature by drawing a little bear in her notebook while glancing at Wang Yunxiao’s notebook.
It was indeed real-ti communication; the drawings were perfectly identical.
She picked up the notebook, held it close to her mouth, and whispered, “Eating grapes without spitting out the skins!”
Wang Yunxiao looked at her as if she were an idiot, “No matter how magical the notebook, surely it can’t transmit sound, right?”
“Oh right…”
Li Mumu giggled foolishly.
But that’s not right, Wendy ntioned that she had seen a priest from the Apocalypse Sect talking to soone with a notebook.
If you can send emojis in real-ti communication, why can’t you send voice ssages?
That’s not magical at all!
“Young Hero Wang, I have a small presumptuous request!”
Li Mumu put down the notebook and took out her wallet, “Can you please transfer this notebook to ?”
Why do you always whip out your wallet?
What do you take for, you damn little rich girl!
Wang Yunxiao had wanted to say just that.
A tool that allowed for ssage exchange was very useful to him, but he didn’t have any money and didn’t have a deep enough connection with the rich little sister to broach such a subject.
The opponent got ahead first.
“This isn’t about money, Miss Li.”
Wang Yunxiao pretended not to see the crisp new bills Li Mumu had taken out of her wallet and said solemnly, “This notebook involves a life and so unresolved grudges, so I cannot transfer it to you for now.
Also, there’s no need to call Young Hero Wang, just call by my nickna Yuanxiao.”
“Oh…”
Li Mumu thought to herself that it was just a life; she had thought it was sothing serious.
But as a young lady, it would seem very impolite to persist further at this mont.
The other party also ntioned it was only temporary, indicating there might be a chance in the future.
However, she imdiately beca interested in the grudges Wang Yunxiao ntioned.
“Yuanxiao…
ahem, Brother Wang, what exactly are these grudges you ntioned?
Can you share them with ?
You know Yinyin is at my house now, and since it’s related to her, I’d like to know more about it, just to be ntally prepared.”
Wang Yunxiao hesitated for a mont, unsure if he should divulge so information to Li Mumu.
If he didn’t tell her, a young lady with no experience in the Jianghu World could easily be deceived by bad people.
If he did tell her, a young lady with no experience in the Jianghu World encountering such ssy matters might have nightmares.
“Well, I don’t know much myself, but it’s about the Cosmos, which you know about, right?
I rember your family of four took that ship to co back, right?”
“Right, and then?”
“There were demons on that ship!”
“Yikes!” Li Mumu gasped, “Oh my, that’s terrifying!
Is it true?
No wonder we were isolated and inspected for so long at Edo Port, and they told there was an infectious disease on board!”
“Whether it’s true or not, how would I know?
I’ve never even seen what the captain looks like.”
Wang Yunxiao shrugged and said, “It was while I was investigating Mr.
Tong’s background that I stumbled upon it.
Do you know what his profession is?
Do you know what Lean Horses ans in Yangzhou?”
“I don’t know!
What does it an?” Li Mumu blinked her clear, large eyes.
“It ans specifically choosing pretty little girls, training and cultivating them from a young age, teaching them various skills.
When they grow up, soone will buy them and send them to the royalty and nobility.
Jiang Yinyin was bought by him, originally planned to be raised as a Lean Horse.”
Seeing the horrified look in the eyes of the young girl opposite him, Wang Yunxiao decided to add a bit more to make her realize the seriousness of the issue.
“Actually, Jiang Yinyin’s family conditions aren’t very good, but now with the new governnt’s strict enforcent, he doesn’t dare to go too far.
If this were in the past, people like him would specifically target girls like you.
You see, although your family isn’t lacking money, you’re neither part of the royalty nor nobility, and you have no powerful backing.
They would specifically set up a trap to seize your family’s wealth, kill your parents, and push you and your sister into the abyss.”
“The more those mbers of the Royalty and nobility, descendants of the Noble Families, have higher demands for won.
They’re tired of ordinary girls.
But if it’s a young lady whose family has fallen…
just think about how attractive that would be to those people.”
Li Mumu shivered.
Fear, yes, fear, mostly fear, maybe even nine out of ten parts.
She felt utterly ashad of herself for understanding imdiately and having hundreds of scenarios flash through her mind in a second.
“Those are things of the past.
Now there are explicit laws prohibiting the trading of human lives, so they definitely wouldn’t dare to do such things blatantly anymore, but they are still looking for ways to exploit legal loopholes.
Like the case with Jiang Yinyin, as there is no contract between you two, even if she personally calls the police, they wouldn’t be able to intervene.”
“Moreover, there’s another special condition specified by the new governnt that unregistered foreign races, foreigners, and those demons and evil spirits are not protected by the law.”
This wasn’t sothing Wang Yunxiao made up.
When he first heard about this rule, he realized the loophole—if the criterion was just household registration, then wouldn’t those forced to beco demons and evil spirits be unprotected too?
Even he could think of this loophole, so those who truly wanted to exploit it definitely would too.
