Good heavens! One hour inside is equivalent to one minute outside. Going inside to research weapons and such can not only save money on materials but also save time.
I have to get my hands on something this good, no matter what.
I took out my phone and contacted Peng Jun. When Peng Jun heard that it was a virtual world and that I could hack into the backend, he was finally relieved.
"Master! You should just retreat to the Great Xia base. If I need you, the plane can drop me off as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about me here."
"Alright then! If you can get behind the scenes, the entire army coming out won't be a problem. Let's retreat first."
The military is exaggerating. They can't bring people back to life, but they can revive the dead. However, they won't listen to me if I try to bring people back to life.
Another issue is that when a person dies, their data is erased, and it's unknown whether it can be recovered.
Unmanned mechanical corps is possible, but I'm afraid the system will detect it.
I don't want to do this before I get my hands on the core program.
Anyway, Peng Jun and the others can go back first.
I taught Aunt Jun how to communicate with the subroutines of the auxiliary brain, and I believe they will retreat soon.
After doing all that, I went back inside.
In the few minutes I was outside, it was already daylight inside.
Training shouts of "Hey-ha!" could be heard from outside.
I went to the window and saw that the courtyard was full of technicians, who were also the lowest-ranking soldiers.
"Zheng Yang! Are you up yet?"
Shuo Rong's annoying voice came from the speakers again.
"What's up?"
"The princess wants you to go to the sixth floor."
"knew!"
Damn! Trying to please her seems a bit too much. If I'm constantly being pestered by the princess, how am I supposed to get anything done?
When I got to the sixth floor, I was shocked as soon as the elevator doors opened. Were all six floors princess rooms?
This living room is as big as a football field. The piano from yesterday has been moved down and placed in a corner.
Shuo Dai and Shuo Rong were both in front of the wine cabinet at this time, and Shuo Dai was having breakfast.
"What are you standing there for? Come here!" Shuo Dai said with a bright smile.
That's when I noticed that there was a breakfast in front of her.
I approached, and Shuo Dai gestured with her lips towards the seat opposite her:
"Sit down and eat with me."
Eat if you want. I'm a guest now, so I don't need to worry about Shuo Rong's feelings.
I sat down and picked up a piece of bread. The food here was quite similar to what I could get outside, and the taste was normal.
It seems that only superior beings can enjoy better food.
How does it taste?
"Delicious! This is the first time I've ever tasted something so sweet."
To avoid arousing suspicion, I had to lie and praise this kind of thing that's so common outside.
Shuo Dai smiled: "Shuo Rong! Do you have any announcements today?"
"Yes! In addition to the normal battle reports, there were a few suspicious people among those sent to the General's Mansion yesterday."
They don't speak our language, but they're quite powerful.
Several escaped during the arrest, and the general ordered Kangcheng to do everything in its power to capture them.
Furthermore, the situation in Kangcheng is not optimistic; it is very likely that the people of Si will attack Shuocheng soon.
The general's intention is for the princess to quickly assemble her own inner circle. If Kangcheng falls, he may send you and the eldest princess on the expedition.
Women have to go out and fight too?
Shuo Dai frowned: "How's the recruitment of Core Engineers going? The success or failure of this war depends on Core Engineers."
"Well... after the Yuan Sacrifice, the number of Core Masters has decreased sharply. Now, the monthly salary of a Level 6 Core Master has risen to one million, but even at that price, there is still no market for them, and very few people come to apply."
"Adding to the competition from the eldest princess, we've only managed to recruit two level five individuals so far."
After hearing this, Shuo Dai put down the food in her hand and rubbed her temples, looking worried.
"Can't they buy any from the Imperial Academy either?"
"The Imperial Academy still wants the princess to marry into their family; otherwise, they won't give us a core member."
Even the Grand General couldn't do anything about it; they wouldn't even give them the Shuozi Army.
"Damn it! A piece of trash who forcibly awakened his intelligence and hasn't even reached level four in ten years, why should I marry him?"
If you push me too far, believe me, I'll just find anyone and consummate our marriage.
After Shuo Dai finished speaking, she looked directly at me.
Holy crap! Is she planning to sleep with me?
"Princess! Please don't do this. The general didn't force you, did he?"
"What if the war gets intense and we still can't replenish our cores?"
Even a great general would have to sacrifice his own daughter.
"It shouldn't be, right? The General is a Level 10 Core Intelligence Master! He can't possibly lose."
Shuo Rong herself was unsure.
"Don't they have chip masters? If we really fight this far, even if my dad goes into battle, they can still come out."
Moreover, of the ten deputy generals, only two are at the ninth rank, and both are quite old. What use are the remaining seventh and eighth ranks?
Holy crap! Judging from this, there's a serious shortage of level 10 players here!
A level 10 chip expert, with a chip intelligence of 320,000, could potentially wipe out hundreds or thousands of chip-based devices with a wave of their hand; such talent is not easily found.
I only reached level 10 because of a series of lucky encounters. If I had to level up on my own, it would have taken forever.
"Forget it! Let's not think about that now. Zheng Yang! Go to the manufacturing department today. I'll give you twenty people. Make whatever you can."
"It's a princess!" I couldn't have been happier.
"Shuorong! Let's go recruit chip engineers."
"Little sister! Are you in such a hurry?"
The elevator doors opened, and a woman who looked very much like Shuo Dai entered with two other people.
This must be Shuo Zi, right? Although she looks about 50% like Shuo Dai, she's still not as pretty as Shuo Dai.
Upon seeing Shuo Zi, Shuo Dai's brows furrowed even more.
