Chapter 88: Qian Yaoduo

During the period when the system was merging, Ma Jun lived in complete leisure. For the most part, he spent the entire two months at the ranch in Australia.

Each day he rode out on horseback, sampling delicacies or fine wine that Old Qian had procured from countless worlds. At times he would even hunt on the ranch, with the prey already prepared by Old Qian.

He returned to his home country only once, for the celebratory banquet of the Blossoms in Silence production team. Because the television series had achieved the highest ratings of its season and, with the year drawing to a close, ranked among the best of the entire year.

Both the company and the performers were thoroughly pleased. Everyone gathered together, splendid and radiant, lifting their glasses in celebration.

Beyond that, Ma Jun remained in Australia and did not even visit the other worlds.

Old Qian, on the other hand, was exceedingly busy.

Because the system was fusing with its new vessel and could not yet travel between worlds, he had been occupied with the company in the primary world.

With dozens of lower-grade biochemical men who could be wholly trusted and were skilled in their specialized duties serving as assistants, using both overt and covert methods in concert, and with vast sums of money paving the way, Pegasus Film and Television had already been integrated into a corporate group and was developing at a remarkable pace.

Soon afterward, the final moment arrived. Ma Jun hid in the secret laboratory beneath the Australian ranch, tense and ready, awaiting the system's ultimate fusion!

In the room of more than two hundred square meters, half of the space was occupied by ultramicrochips made from superconducting material, while the rest was filled with various lower-grade biochemical men wearing white coats.

Each carried out his own duty, busily monitoring different data.

In a small adjoining room, through a glass window, Ma Jun stood with a cigarette in hand, motionless as he stared inside.

"Boss, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong," Old Qian said softly from the side.

"I'm just a little excited," Ma Jun said, exhaling a plume of smoke.

In the central laboratory, one of the technicians spoke into a microphone. "Fusion degree, 9999999999. Final countdown, ten."

"Nine!"

"One!"

"Fusion complete. Activate power source!"

"Antimatter fusion reactor activated. Power source operating perfectly!"

"Please, Boss, try running the system! Begin the test!"

The laboratory door opened. Someone carried over a palm-sized screen that looked like glass and handed it to Ma Jun. "Boss."

Ma Jun nodded and took it.

With the intelligent housekeeper Little Flower gone, the system would now operate through voice and touch control. What Ma Jun held was equivalent to a computer monitor, while the countless ultramicrochips served as the main unit.

With a light swipe across the screen, the system interface appeared, and all data was displayed in full.

"System level 2"

"Store level 1"

"Total prestige 6000"

"Energy 26000"

"Plundered worlds: Infernal Affairs, Titanic, The Tuxedo, The Duke of Mount Deer, Avatar"

"Energy feedback from plundered worlds 10000"

"So the energy fed back from plundered worlds is this much! Little Flower had been hiding it from me all along!" Ma Jun shook his head and smiled. "Hmm, now all of the system's data is fully displayed. The operating cost of energy is separated out here as well. It also uses the energy fed back from the plundered worlds, and the consumption isn't much. On that point, Little Flower didn't lie to me."

"Boss, how is it?" Qian Moduo asked from the side.

"No problem," Ma Jun said with a smile.

The technicians immediately began sorting and packaging all the ultramicrochips. Very quickly, Ma Jun entered the central laboratory and stored the system core inside his universe ring.

It occupied an entire intermediate universe ring.

Returning to the room above ground, Ma Jun sat comfortably on the sofa by the window, holding a cup of tea and sipping it as he pondered.

"This laboratory can be withdrawn. Let all these lower-grade biochemical men go help Old Qian expand the company in the primary world! Everything is ready now. I can finally act with confidence. As for the other worlds, it's time to prepare for action."

"At present, I have a total of 26000 energy points, enough for an upgrade, but there's no rush. I don't need to plunder any new worlds yet. The worlds I've already taken should be carefully developed. In the future, those places will be my paradise."

"Still, if that's the case, I'll need more manpower. Lower-grade biochemical men are ultimately not enough to stand on their own. Old Qian was created by the system, and besides being utterly loyal, he's like a human being and has enormous potential for future growth."

"Then I'll buy another biochemical servant. Ten thousand energy points is well worth it."

Taking out the system screen, Ma Jun tapped into the system store and found the biochemical servant. This time, a detailed description appeared.

A biochemical servant is a product of the fusion of cultivation civilization and technological civilization. Completely loyal to its master, with the strength of an ordinary person at the outset. It requires ten thousand energy points to cultivate. Name, age, gender, and identity can be assigned.

Ma Jun clicked the purchase button, and in an instant a young man appeared before him in the primary world. He had plain features, stood about one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, and wore a suit.

"Master."

Though it was not the first time, Ma Jun still looked at the biochemical servant before him with curiosity. Only after a moment did he say, "Uh, hello. From now on, don't call me master. Try to call me Boss instead."

"Yes, Boss."

Ma Jun set the new biochemical servant's name as Qian Yao Duo, twenty-four years old. His identity was essentially the same as Qian Moduo's: both were Chinese with foreign nationality in the primary world.

"You have a senior named Qian Moduo. Since you both have the surname Qian, from now on I'll call you Qian the Second," Ma Jun said with a sly grin.

"Yes, Boss."

"Fine. If anything comes up later, ask him for advice. After all, he arrived before you. He knows me very well, and he knows my affairs very well. Now go out and bring him here. I have some things to tell you both. Oh, right."

As he spoke, Ma Jun bought another entry-level universe ring from the system store and handed it to Qian the Second. "Take this. You'll need it for traveling between worlds later."

Qian the Second took it solemnly and turned to leave. His bearing at the start was exactly the same as Old Qian's had been back then.

Ma Jun paid no attention. He opened the computer before him, created a new text document, and began typing rapidly.

At present, there were five worlds in his possession.

Among them, Infernal Affairs and The Tuxedo possessed complete social order. In those two worlds, Ma Jun planned only to establish giant companies for the transfer and plunder of resources.

In the Titanic world, since the First World War was about to begin and the world was already unstable, Ma Jun decided to intervene in the formation of its rules. Before that, however, preparations were necessary so that he could crush everything with force at the proper moment.

The Avatar world, in truth, offered little beyond those mouthwatering scientific technologies and superconducting ore. After all, it was a ruin. As for technology, he had already accumulated quite a lot. On Pandora, however, he could expand the base.

The world of The Duke of Mount Deer was, of course, the most important territory at present. Moreover, Lady Concubine Mu Jianping was there as well. Ma Jun decided to go there in person to take charge.

Once the resources of these worlds were fully integrated, a new era would begin for Ma Jun.
