A crisp breeze flowed through Dominion City's tech district—a futuristic marvel built overnight using the System's resources. Skyscrapers of glass and steel gleamed under the morning sun, drones hovered silently, and minion engineers swarmed across construction zones with perfect efficiency.
In the heart of this metallic wonder stood a newly acquired tower: Azure Core Technologies—a global leader in AI and robotics, now secretly under Su Mu's full control.
Inside the tower's top floor lab, a young woman with short blue hair and cybernetic goggles was furiously typing on a holographic keyboard. Sparks flew as robotic limbs assembled a prototype in mid-air.
This was Ai Xue, once known as the "Queen of Technology," a prodigy who vanished from public view two years ago.
Now, she was Su Mu's personal tech strategist—summoned by the system.
"Master," Ai Xue said, not looking up as Su Mu entered. "I just connected our satellite AI network to all major traffic, finance, and defense databases worldwide. We can now listen, predict, or crash systems with a tap."
Su Mu's eyes lit up. "Beautiful work."
> [Ding! ¥100 million spent to build Dominion's AI Defense Grid.]
[Cashback: ¥10 billion deposited.]
Ai Xue finally looked at him, cheeks a little flushed. "I also added a minor defense code that automatically protects any of your... 'private interests'. Including love letters."
Su Mu raised an eyebrow. "You were scanning my messages?"
"I... might have," she said, turning red. "For encryption testing."
Mei'er, who stood at the back, snickered. "Careful, Master. This one's already halfway in love."
Lian'er added coldly, "She's useful. Let her stay focused."
> [Ding! Charm value increased. Ai Xue's loyalty 76% → 93%.]
[Hidden Affection Level triggered.]
As the sun set, Su Mu stood atop the tower, gazing down at his growing empire. His forces were organized, his finances infinite, and now he had total technological dominance.
Behind him, Ai Xue appeared quietly. "I made something for you."
She handed him a sleek silver wristband. "It connects you directly to every system on Earth. Command, destroy, build—all from this."
Su Mu took it with a smile. "Then the world truly belongs to me now."
In the shadows of a perfect city, under the glow of digital stars, the King and his Queen of Technology stood side by side—unseen, unmatched, and unstoppable.
