Xu Shi had only shown him a part of it before, or rather, he could sense some of the things himself, such as circuits and things like lights, which he understood.

He knew then how precious these things were to Silver Pine Island. It wasn't that the Hualan Empire didn't have similar facilities, but the energy used to activate them was completely different. The Hualan Empire's usual practice was to use liquid "divine breath" for activation. You might not be able to tell much from the effects, but the cost was really high. Not to mention the island's inhabitants, even he, as the island's lord, might not be able to afford it.

Including the communication methods you mentioned, if they are driven by "divine energy," and the magic array has remained so stable for so long, it must have drained their entire fortune...

"Of course."

Xu Shi smiled, indicating that he didn't need to worry. "I had already considered this when I laid the circuits, as well as water supply, road access, and other aspects. I had the idea of ​​upgrading Silver Pine Island. As for the specifics, such as how to do it and who we will send to help you, Brother Pan, there's no need to rush. We can talk about it slowly."

"...Thank you very much, Brother Xu."

Pan Cheng was overjoyed. He knew very well how much these things would change Silver Pine Island once they were completed.

Xu Shi smiled faintly. He had always regarded Pan Cheng as a trustworthy person, and since Feng and Ling were now his juniors, he would naturally do his best to help them.

Moreover, transforming Silver Pine Island into a base would greatly benefit his subsequent plans.

This is definitely a win-win situation.

However, when it comes to the two sisters, Feng and Ling, their focus doesn't seem to be on this aspect.

Pan Ling, in particular, witnessed the whole thing with her foolish apprentice, and now she has only one thought in her mind.

Do all these people have to call me "Master's Wife" too? Goodness, Master, how many "Master's Wives" do you have... And that Gu Yi doesn't seem that much older than me.

What if Master also... Oh dear, what am I thinking?

This historic video lasted quite a while, mainly because everyone hadn't been in touch for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about, and they chatted until late into the night.

Both sides were a little reluctant to part when they hung up. Fortunately, the base station has now been completed, so they no longer have to suffer the pain of longing for each other. They can chat whenever they want, including when Su Lin and the others will come and what preparations need to be made. These can all be discussed in detail later.

night.

Back at his residence, looking at the communication bracelet that could finally be used again, Xu Shi felt a little emotional.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't touched such high technology for so long that he suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Just then, the bracelet's communication function rang for the first time in a long while.

The person who called was Gu Yi.

"You miss me already?"

Xu Shi answered the call with a smile; it certainly seemed like something she would do.

"Dream on, I'm so happy I'm not being bullied by you."

Miss Black Rabbit adopted a haughty demeanor, "But I do have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"Well... I forgot to tell you earlier, I tried using 'Ascension' a while ago, and now I'm an A-rank or even A+-rank 'Ascended'!"

"Would you like to know what my abilities are?"
