177: Section 177

"Bu-but... My King, Sister Yan and the others are still waiting for you."

"Oh?" Su Ming flicked Zhixin's little head lightly, teasing her playfully, "Now you remember your Sister Yan? You weren't like this this morning."

"Waaah, but I can't hold on anymore... My King, have pity on your little angel."

Su Ming smiled, patted her head to soothe her, "Alright, get some good rest..."

As he finished speaking, Su Ming rose and left.

The moment the door clicked shut.

The two little ones poked their heads out, exchanged a glance, and simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, still feeling lingering fear.

Chapter 199: Leng and Yan: You Call Fishing Relaxing?

Sensing the two little ones gradually drifting off to sleep in the master bedroom, Su Ming went downstairs, feeling quite content.

Before he even reached the living room, sounds of an argument drifted over.

With a Blink, he stealthily arrived by the fireplace, ready to watch the drama unfold.

But... the situation didn't seem right.

He wasn't sure, so he watched a bit more.

They were currently surrounding the display cabinet in the living room, conducting academic research!

Were they arguing? Certainly, they were arguing.

However, they were debating an academic issue.

It could barely be considered an argument.

Su Ming simply revealed himself and walked up to the two women, saying helplessly, "It's just a Thrill Box, you don't need to fight over it..."

Yan scoffed, crossing her arms with a knowing smile, "But why do I get the feeling that while Leng and I haven't started fighting, you, my King, are the one who's disappointed?"

"An illusion! That must be an illusion!" Su Ming sternly changed the subject, "That's the Thrill Box, dropped by Pennywise in It..."

"Pennywise? It seems there really is such a monster in a 90s miniseries on Earth."

"Er... not that one, the 2017 version..." Su Ming paused, then smacked his forehead, "I forgot, it's only 2014 on this Earth, the movie version of It hasn't come out yet."

However, that didn't matter.

"Back to the Thrill Box. I was listening just now, you were arguing over the Thrill Box's derivatives, right? Unfortunately, it's neither an energy entity nor a reality-based Creation... you argued for nothing."

Yan: "..." Leng: "..."

So, wasn't my rigorous defense just now incredibly foolish?

Su Ming suppressed his laughter and explained, "Strictly speaking, it should be considered a directional molding based on fear."

"And emotions are neither energy nor matter!"

"Take your time. If you really can't figure them out, it doesn't matter if you just dismantle these toys. These items are basically only useful as teaching aids now."

The Thrill Box uses the explosion of derivative sub-entities to inject extreme fear into others' minds.

At the same time, the Thrill Box can place six derivative sub-entities at will.

Once a life form steps within three meters of a derivative, it can achieve a hard-control effect similar to fear...

Unfortunately...

For Su Ming now, this item is not only low in intensity, but its functionality is also extremely singular.

There are many similar items in the display cabinet against the wall in the living room.

Yan sighed, looking a bit dejected, "We are, after all, combat-oriented angels. Scientific research, especially in the completely unfamiliar field of idealism, is still too far beyond our scope."

Leng nodded frankly and agreed, "Yes, my King. Theoretical research in frontier fields should ultimately be left to sisters who specialize in scientific research. This girl and I are better suited for drawing our swords and fighting."

"There will come a day when you draw your swords... Besides, you are already very impressive. I never expected you to be able to use magic to reproduce a cosmic-level catastrophe like a Gamma-Ray Burst."

Yan, having received Su Ming's praise, immediately beamed and winked at Leng.

Leng snorted, cursed her silently as a childish brat, and then asked curiously, "My King, why did the Queen evaluate the magic version of the Gamma-Ray Burst as needing improvement after it was successfully developed?"

"That is a Gamma-Ray Burst, a terrifying catastrophe that can easily sweep across a star system."

"Is it because the spell guidance time is too long?"

Su Ming shook his head, "Not only that! The Lieyang star-driving technology also requires long-term guidance, yet that technology is still Lieyang's trump card!"

"The real reason is..."

"The initial version of the spell was too difficult to control. It was the kind of... weapon that, if one were careless, could create a lifeless zone of hundreds of light-years."

"Moreover, the problem with this spell is that it is easily interfered with by the external environment."

If the first problem could be avoided by aiming at the enemy's home base in a way that harms the enemy without harming the angels, the second problem was too fatal.

There are too many variables on the battlefield.

Who can guarantee that their spell will hit the target as intended?

What if?

What if the enemy takes the opportunity to interfere, and it ends up affecting comrades instead?

Looking at the thoughtful Yan, Su Ming advised, "Yan, find some time to study arcane theory properly. Using fire magic to interpret a phenomenon like a Gamma-Ray Burst is a bit too violent. Changing it to an arcane structure would be more reasonable."

Yan's eyes lit up. She happily stepped forward to hug Su Ming's arm and gave his face a fierce kiss.

"Thank you for the reminder, my King. I will work twice as hard."

Su Ming nodded with a smile, took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Yan's waist, and returned a more intense kiss.

At that moment, the look in Leng's eyes toward her old rival changed!

This dead girl really has a scheming mind!

That look of dejection just now must have been faked!

So annoying!

The key is, she actually believed Yan's nonsense!

No way?

She even dared to wink and provoke her!

Gritting her teeth!

Fortunately, the King's self-control was still up to par.

He finally let go of this scheming angel just as Yan was about to sink into it.

However, meeting Yan's puzzled gaze, Su Ming wrapped his arm around Leng's waist.

Starlight fell, and the three of them vanished into the pillar of light.

When they reappeared, the three of them were already on the bank of the River of Starlight.

On the beach, delicate as if sprinkled with starlight, the mist of dreams quietly spread.

"My King, what are you..."

"Haha, the timing is just right, I'm taking you to relax."

"But... relaxing is one thing, but why are you bringing a fishing rod?"

"The River of Starlight is still a river, isn't it... Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. The Pseudo-Current isn't here, and I just happened to get a whim!"

Su Ming was exceptionally certain, "I have a feeling that this time I'll definitely catch something big!"

Chapter 200: The Divine Beast Cub That Took the Bait

Whether fishing counts as relaxing is hard to say.

However, Su Ming truly loves it.

Who else has a mysterious fishing rod?

Previously, Su Ming was indifferent to fishing.

But the effect of the mysterious fishing rod was too tempting.

Ever since he fished up a Ghost Leviathan in the One Piece world, the mysterious fishing rod seemed to have been blessed, and every once in a while, it would bring Su Ming some small surprises from other worldviews.
