Of course, Bai Zhou didn't have such incredible stamina either.
After clinging to Xian Lin'er for nearly half an hour and accompanying her for a delicious breakfast, Bai Zhou finally resumed his studies in soul tool crafting.
As for the assessment, there was naturally no need for much preparation—he could just step onto the stage and start fighting directly.
This time, what Bai Zhou was researching was naturally the transmission issue of the Micro Card.
At present, the Micro Card's functions were already more than sufficient and didn't require rapid updates.
Moreover, updates were something that Shrek's other soul engineers would handle, and the difficulty wasn't particularly high.
Right now, the biggest challenge lay in the transmission distance.
Bai Zhou had already thought of a solution long ago—learning from his past life and building base stations.
Of course, satellites would be the best option, but with Bai Zhou's current level—or even the level of this world—there was no way to build something like satellites yet.
Although the number of Micro Card users was large, it was nowhere near the scale of mobile phone users from his past life, so base stations were more than sufficient.
The role of base stations was to amplify and transmit signals.
The Sun Moon Empire might possess this kind of technology, but on the side of the Three Great Empires, it was guaranteed they did not.
After all, among the Three Great Empires, only the Soul Engineer Association and Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department had any real substance.
Other wild soul engineer organizations were no better than trash—everything they researched consisted of junk eliminated by the Sun Moon Empire a hundred years ago.
Strategic-level technology like signal transmission was naturally something the Sun Moon Empire would never disclose.
Bai Zhou didn't need to rely on the Sun Moon Empire either. Using two wishing opportunities, he directly obtained the construction blueprints for signal amplification base stations.
Base stations also came in different levels, from the lowest Level 4 to the highest Level 9, and Bai Zhou obtained all of the blueprints.
Although Bai Zhou was currently only considered a peak Level 3 soul engineer, base stations—despite being Level 4—were extremely large in size. This significantly reduced the difficulty of production, making it no great challenge for him.
However, they still couldn't be completed in just one or two days.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhou decisively went to find Xian Lin'er and handed over all the base station blueprints.
After all, by himself, even if he—
...
"Base stations… signal amplification!! Where did you get these blueprints from?!"
When Xian Lin'er saw the blueprints Bai Zhou took out, she was completely dumbfounded.
Good heavens!
Just a few days ago, she had allocated several million gold coins to assemble a large team of dozens of people to research a major project similar to signal base station amplifiers.
Who could have imagined that the project hadn't even begun—and it was already over…
Just where in the world did this kid Bai Zhou get all these things?!
"Hehe, I picked them up on the road."
Bai Zhou shifted his gaze slightly, feeling a bit guilty as he made up an excuse on the spot.
"Alright, alright, I won't pry into your secrets…"
Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes lightly, then gently hugged Bai Zhou, saying with delight, "Xiao Bai, you really are my little treasure. You brought me such a huge surprise so quickly."
"Then can this count as bride price?"
Bai Zhou blinked and looked up at Xian Lin'er.
"Idiot, why do you always think about that!"
Xian Lin'er fiercely pinched Bai Zhou, feeling utterly speechless.
Had this kid gone crazy wanting to marry her? Why did everything lead in that direction?
"Hehe, then can I get some kind of reward?"
Bai Zhou smiled awkwardly. If it couldn't count as bride price, at least he wanted a reward.
"Don't worry. The academy won't treat you unfairly. I originally opened this as a research topic, and the first phase was planned to invest three million gold soul coins."
"Although you only provided blueprints, their value is immeasurable. I'll first apply for a one-million gold soul coin reward for you. As for the rest, you'll receive profit shares later, just like with the Micro Card."
As Xian Lin'er spoke, she pressed Bai Zhou deeper into her arms, clearly in an excellent mood.
After all, researching a topic required enormous funding, and most of it would end up wasted.
Now that this money didn't have to be thrown away but was instead given to Bai Zhou, she was naturally very happy.
This wave could be described as a win-win!
"One million? That much?! Then wouldn't I be able to buy a house in Shrek City?!"
Hearing this, Bai Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, his face filled with excitement.
"You still want to buy a house? Absolutely not!"
Xian Lin'er immediately frowned and rejected it outright.
"You're only allowed to live in the residence I gave you. You're not allowed to buy any other houses!"
Xian Lin'er grabbed Bai Zhou's chin, her presence extremely domineering.
If she hadn't given Bai Zhou a house, she wouldn't have minded him buying one himself—she might even have subsidized him.
But now that she had already given him her house, this little rascal still wanted to buy another one. That was going too far!
Was he dissatisfied with her house?
Or was he afraid she'd monitor him?
No matter which it was, Xian Lin'er felt extremely displeased.
At this moment, Bai Zhou felt like he had transmigrated into an overbearing CEO novel and become the female lead being controlled by a domineering CEO—his head hurt a little…
However, Xian Lin'er's strong reaction clearly meant that his casual remark had displeased her.
"Alright, alright, my fault. From now on, I'll only live in the house you gave me, Teacher. I won't live anywhere else, and I definitely won't buy a house!"
Bai Zhou quickly apologized sincerely.
Although Xian Lin'er almost never got angry with him, this was the first time she had reacted so strongly.
It was clear that his words had genuinely hurt her feelings.
So Bai Zhou apologized honestly and completely abandoned the idea of buying his own house.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Seeing Bai Zhou's excellent attitude in admitting his mistake, most of Xian Lin'er's displeasure immediately dissipated.
"Mmm, Teacher is the best~"
Seeing this, Bai Zhou immediately clung to her, kissing and coaxing her until Xian Lin'er was finally comforted.
Although Xian Lin'er had experienced many things, much of her life had been spent in sadness.
So now, facing a sweet relationship, she cherished it deeply.
As long as Bai Zhou coaxed her a little, she would quickly calm down—she hadn't truly been angry in the first place.
The two hugged each other and discussed the future development of the Micro Card.
Bai Zhou directly brought out the development history of "mobile phones" from his past life.
Although many of the functions would be difficult to realize, even implementing just a small part would be a massive shock to this fantasy world.
At the same time, it would also bring extremely enormous profits.
Although Xian Lin'er had long known that Bai Zhou had a wild imagination, she still hadn't expected him to have so many unrestrained, sky-defying ideas.
In her view, realizing these ideas was nothing short of fantasy.
But if it were Bai Zhou…
Then it was hard to say.
After all, Bai Zhou was best at creating miracles.
The two researched and discussed for most of the day.
It wasn't until nightfall that Bai Zhou finally took his leave.
After all, he hadn't returned for quite some time—Wang Dong's resentment was surely deep, and he needed to properly placate it.
