Chapter 139: This Matter is Easy to Handle (2)
“Does Fellow Daoist Ning Jing have a phone?”
Wang Yi did not explain anything. Instead, he asked a question that left Venerable Ning Jing confused.
She really could not figure out why Wang Yi would ask her for her phone at this time. Could it be that he could contact the various giant cities through her phone?
How ridiculous…
Ever since the wilderness was occupied by the beast race, although the human race had also tried to build a base station, all of them had been destroyed by the beast race without exception.
The human race was helpless and could only give up in the end. Therefore, cell phone calls or computer networks could only exist in the respective giant cities. It was no different from a fool’s dream to rely on cell phones to contact other giant cities.
Venerable Ning Jing suddenly felt that this was ridiculous. She asked in disappointment, “Fellow Daoist Wang, were you referring to this method when you said that the matter is easy to handle?”
Of course, Wang Yi understood what she meant, but there was really no way to explain this.
Wang Yi could explain what the Skynet system was and that its satellites had covered the entire world. The key was whether Venerable Ning Jing could understand this information.
He was helpless…
Wang Yi could only reveal an expression as if he had a brilliant plan. He smiled and said, “Venerable Ning Jing, don’t be anxious. We’ll know if you can solve the problem after we get the phone.”
Wang Yi seemed very confident.
Venerable Ning Jing also felt that it was impossible for a Venerable like Wang Yi to treat such a matter that concerned the survival of the human race as child’s play. Hence, she instructed Wu Shuang. “Go and get my phone for Fellow Daoist Wang.”
With Venerable Ning Jing’s status, she naturally had a messenger. How could she carry a phone with her?
This was not the era of information explosion like in Wang Yi’s previous life.
People never left their phones behind in his previous life. They watched dramas, chatted, and played games. There were countless types of entertainment available on phones, while communication became an auxiliary function.
In contrast, the phones in this world were simply communication tools to be used within the giant cities.
Wu Shuang stood up and left. Not long after, she handed a phone to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi pressed a few buttons before asking Venerable Ning Jing, “Venerable Ning Jing, you should have a way to contact the other giant cities, right?”
Venerable Ning Jing nodded slightly. “Of course! However, the price is very high, and I can only send simple messages.”
Wang Yi clapped his hands and chuckled. “It isn’t complicated. I only need to send a few words to Cang City.”
At this point…
Venerable Ning Jing also wanted to see what Wang Yi was up to. Then, she instructed Wu Shuang, “Bring Fellow Daoist Wang the Reflecting Stone.”
Wu Shuang received the order and soon returned to the hall with a palm-sized piece of pure white jade.
At this moment, Venerable Ning Jing introduced the jade to Wang Yi. “This item is called the Reflecting Stone. It exists in pairs.”
“It has an extremely strong reaction to spiritual power. When one uses spiritual power as a pen to write words on the Reflecting Stone, the other Reflecting Stone will reveal the same words no matter how far away it is.”
Wang Yi’s eyes lit up as he stared at the Reflecting Stone in Wu Shuang’s hand. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. As expected of the world of martial arts, there were many magical treasures.
Venerable Ning Jing continued. “Although this thing is magical, there are many restrictions when using it.”
“After each use, there will be 100 days of cooldown. During that period, no more messages can be sent using the Reflecting Stone.”
“Furthermore, every pair of Reflecting Stones can only be used up to three times. After three times, they will shatter on their own.”
“Most importantly, this item is extremely rare. We can only equip each city with one pair every century. As for the inventory, there’s none at all.”
Wang Yi was enlightened. He finally understood why Venerable Ning Jing said that it was very expensive to pass on information.
He looked at the pure white Reflecting Stone again and lost interest in it.
Although this item was magical, its many restrictions made it too weak.
After receiving the Reflecting Stone from Wu Shuang, Wang Yi directly used his spiritual power to write on it.
The content of the message was very simple. He asked Fang Yuan to dial 404 using his phone before calling the phone number that Wang Yi left behind.
As for how he knew the number of the phone that Wu Shuang had given him, that was simple.
After Wang Yi dialed 404 and connected to Skynet, he naturally found out.
In the Guardian’s Residence in Cang City…
Sun Ran stood up straight and looked at the pure white jade in front of him.
His duty was very simple and important. He was in charge of guarding the pure white jade in front of him. As long as there were any abnormalities, he had to inform the Guardian immediately.
However, it had been more than two years since he took on this duty, and he had never seen any abnormalities with pure white jade. He did not know what kind of changes could be considered abnormal.
Buzz!
At this moment, a faint halo suddenly appeared on the pure white jade. Then, lines of words appeared on it.
Sun Ran was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that the pure white jade that had never changed would actually change today.
Sun Ran did not dare to delay at all. He picked up the pure white jade in front of him and ran toward Fang Yuan’s study.
In the study.
Fang Yuan looked at the intruder in front of him and the pure white jade in his hand that was glowing. His expression suddenly changed.
Others might not know the meaning behind this, but as the Guardian, how could Fang Yuan not know?
As long as this Reflecting Stone lit up, it meant that the Venerable Palace in Langya County City had passed down an order. It was definitely an urgent matter that concerned the survival of the human race.
Fang Yuan did not dare to be negligent at all. Before Sun Ran could speak, he snatched the Reflecting Stone over.
However, looking at the words that appeared on it, Fang Yuan’s expression could not help but be a little strange. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
If not for the fact that he was certain that the item in his hand was indeed the Reflecting Stone, and that the message was signed by Wang Yi, he would definitely think that someone was deliberately teasing him.
Although this was unbelievable, Fang Yuan still chose to follow the instructions on the Reflecting Stone and took out his phone to operate it.
Ding ling ling! Ding ling ling! Ding ling ling!
In the main hall of the Venerable Palace in Langya County City…
A series of phone rings broke the silence in the hall. Wang Yi looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen and pressed the answer button.
“Sir Wang?”
As the call was answered, an uncertain voice came through the receiver.
Apart from Su Shiya, everyone present was extremely powerful. Even the weakest, Wu Shuang, was a supreme expert.
At such a close distance, how could they not have heard the voice on the receiver? Everyone looked incredulous.
Wu Shuang, in particular, had the most obvious reaction.
After hearing the voice from the receiver, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
She had just returned from Cang City and had interacted with Fang Yuan before.
Thus, just from the voice, she could tell that the person who spoke was definitely Fang Yuan.
