Bai Zhou returned to the outer academy, and life once again became peaceful.
During the day and night, he frequently jumped between Tang Ya and Wang Dong's rooms, managing his time with extreme efficiency.
He took the time to tease Jiang Nan'nan on the micro card. At first, Jiang Nan'nan avoided replying, then occasionally responded, and now she had started proactively sharing interesting things from her life with Bai Zhou.
This was a good sign.
As for Ma Xiao Tao, unsurprisingly, she missed their meetings, disappearing for several days.
Bai Zhou had long anticipated this, so he didn't care too much. He still sent her messages on the micro card every day, morning and night, as a matter of routine.
At first, Ma Xiao Tao avoided Bai Zhou, using cultivation as an excuse.
But when she saw that Bai Zhou seemed unconcerned, she stopped pretending. At first, she was a little reserved, but later she directly started teasing Bai Zhou on the micro card.
Of course, it was just playful banter.
The moment Bai Zhou suggested an offline one-on-one duel, Ma Xiao Tao instantly backed down.
…
Half a month later.
Spirit Conduction Department, Laboratory.
Bai Zhou looked at the black "brick" in his hand and finally showed a satisfied expression.
Through the Wish System, Bai Zhou obtained the blueprint he wanted and created a brand-new "Micro Card."
The new Micro Card only required the injection of soul power and the use of mental power to inscribe any desired content on it, converting it into text to be sent out.
The only drawback was that sending each message consumed mental strength. An ordinary Soul Master could only send a few dozen messages before feeling obvious fatigue.
Although the new Micro Card had a simple function and some drawbacks, the technical content was extremely high. Without the Wish System, it would have taken Bai Zhou at least a year to overcome this difficulty on his own.
After all, this kind of technology had never appeared before, even in the Sun Moon Empire, let alone in the "trash" Shrek Academy.
…
Bai Zhou made two new Micro Cards and immediately found Xian Lin'er to demonstrate their functions.
Xian Lin'er, seeing the effect of the new Micro Card, was astonished and appeared incredulous.
"This… this can transmit information using only thoughts, and the information is so accurate! How exactly did you do this…"
Her eyes were fixed on Bai Zhou as if he were a precious treasure.
"Hehe, just figured it out with a bit of trial and error~" Bai Zhou scratched his head, speaking modestly.
"Come on, if this could really be figured out so casually, how would those Soul Masters who have studied communication technology for decades survive…"
Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes lightly.
Research on "long-distance communication" was a very hot topic within the Soul Master Association.
Since she had a nominal position in the Soul Master Association, she naturally knew some secrets.
Products that dozens of Soul Masters had spent most of their lives developing were not as practical as Bai Zhou's new Micro Card.
Although Bai Zhou's Micro Card still had some defects, with slight improvements it could enter mass production and be applied in various fields, giving it immeasurable commercial value.
However, despite her astonishment, Xian Lin'er had no intention of prying into Bai Zhou's secrets. Instead, she seriously warned:
"Xiao Bai, I know you may have received some opportunities, but possessing treasure brings danger. You can fully display your talents, but it's best not to let people know that you designed these brand-new Spirit Conduction Devices…"
"Teacher, I understand. As I said before, if I were to sell the blueprint, the Academy would get priority. I plan to sell the blueprint to the Academy now," Bai Zhou nodded seriously.
"Xiao Bai, you misunderstood. I just want you not to be too conspicuous, not to threaten you into selling the blueprint…"
Xian Lin'er thought Bai Zhou had misunderstood her earlier words and panicked slightly, hurriedly explaining.
"Teacher, I didn't misunderstand. This was my idea from the start. After all, you've been so good to me; it's only natural I give something back," Bai Zhou said sincerely, looking Xian Lin'er straight in the eyes.
Of course, the gratitude was not toward Shrek Academy, but to Xian Lin'er.
He had paid expensive tuition to get in; it was only fair for Shrek Academy to train him—that was just business.
But the resources he received now far exceeded normal boundaries, all secured by Xian Lin'er for him, even indebting herself to others in the process. This had nothing to do with Shrek Academy.
"You thinking this way is best. Whatever you want, as long as the Academy can provide, I will fight for it for you!" Xian Lin'er said with satisfaction.
"I want you…"
Bai Zhou quickly swallowed his heartfelt words.
He then said seriously, "I am willing to give the blueprint for the Micro Card to the Spirit Conduction Department free of charge. However, if the Academy manufactures Micro Cards in bulk, I want 10% of the profit."
"No."
To Bai Zhou's surprise, Xian Lin'er immediately rejected his proposal and then said seriously:
"10% is too little. I will fight for 50% pure profit for you. The Academy may earn a little less, but under no circumstances will my student lose!"
"Also, since this is when you need resources the most, I will advance you 1 million Gold Soul Coins and provide resources worth 5 million Gold Soul Coins. You can use them first, and repay gradually from your future earnings. If it's not enough, come to me again."
Xian Lin'er knew about Bai Zhou's "loan" from the Treasure Pavilion, so she spoke this way.
Since the Spirit Conduction Department had funds, all bills were paid in advance by the department, and the student would repay over time.
As the "head administrator" of the Spirit Conduction Department, Xian Lin'er naturally knew this.
"Alright, I'll follow the teacher's instructions~" Bai Zhou blinked slightly, then revealed a bright smile.
Xian Lin'er was truly good to him.
Afterward, Bai Zhou handed over the prepared design blueprints and all details regarding Micro Card production to Xian Lin'er.
Bai Zhou believed the market potential for the Micro Card was unimaginable. Once Shrek Academy thoroughly studied and mass-produced it, the future earnings would be astronomical.
Moreover, it would not take long; within a year, he would receive a huge income.
What Bai Zhou did not expect was that Xian Lin'er was so generous—not only advancing 1 million Gold Soul Coins, but also providing resources worth 5 million Gold Soul Coins!
If he could fully utilize these resources, he didn't know how strong he could become.
"All right, I will handle the procedures for you. I am a bit tired now. Give me a foot massage,"
Xian Lin'er waved lightly, lay down, took off her shoes, and placed her feet in Bai Zhou's lap, clearly wanting to relax.
"Oh…"
Bai Zhou quickly took her small feet.
He sat down expertly and began massaging seriously.
He had done this many times before and handled it effortlessly.
Moreover, Xian Lin'er seemed to really enjoy having her feet massaged.
Previously once a day, now it was twice a day.
Bai Zhou felt he was becoming Xian Lin'er's personal technician.
He massaged carefully, cautiously, and very gently, as if polishing a delicate work of art.
At first, Bai Zhou still had some difficulty controlling his instincts.
But after getting used to it, he could control himself.
Not letting anything go wrong.
Bai Zhou did not know that Xian Lin'er's cheeks were unusually flushed at this moment.
Her heartbeat was several times faster than usual…
Because she was thinking about whether or not to reward Bai Zhou…
