After handing over the captives to Ye Er for interrogation, Ye Kai waited for a full three hours before finally obtaining the information he sought.
This had already left him astonished; Ye Er, who was skilled in over a hundred forms of torture, took three whole hours to pry open the leader's mouth and uncover the true purpose of their expedition to the Abandoned Continent.
Of course, he also learned that there were individuals from other factions among these captives.
"Following the guidance of the stars, traversing the spine of the dragon, in that place known as Primordial Land, endless mysteries awaken," Ye Kai thought, his eyelids twitching as he held the ancient parchment.
What the hell does this mean?
He recognized the words after translation, but when put together, it left him somewhat bewildered. Was it a riddle?
“Sir, that old man named Karliza doesn’t know either. However, if he can decipher the meaning of the first sentence, he will surely be able to find the tomb of the Dawn Wizard!” Ye Er said respectfully from beside him.
“Hmm!”
Ye Kai felt a pang of regret; why hadn’t he brought that old man Alex along?
As the saying goes, "An elder at home is like a treasure." Moreover, given the similar relationship between Mage Envoys and wizards, it was possible that Alex could uncover some clues!
“Lock all those people up for me and have the Combat Robot conduct repeated interrogations. Remember, it’s everyone. I want to see if there are any other gains to be had!”
“Yes, sir!” Ye Er narrowed his eyes again, a sinister smile creeping across his lips.
"Go, go, go! Your smile is getting more and more terrifying!" Ye Kai rolled his eyes dramatically and scolded, "I'll give you three more days. If there's still no progress, then let's arrange for them a 'lifetime tour' in the System Space."
Seeing that the commander had finally returned to his usual self, Ye Er immediately became sycophantic. "Don't worry, Commander. If you’re not happy for even a moment, I’ll make sure they’re unhappy for a lifetime!"
With his face twisted in a grimace, he actually managed to convey a bit of sincerity. Ye Kai patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction and sent him on his way.
Currently, his most capable assistants were just a few individuals, and if Ye Yi had been present at that moment, he definitely wouldn’t have uttered such an obviously flattering remark.
Because that guy’s mind was filled with nothing but war, war, and more war!
Every cell in his body, every neuron was saturated with the purest essence of a battle-hardened soldier.
That fearless bravado, that yearning for conflict, relishing the smoke and fire of battle—Ye Kai thought it resembled the behavior of a top-tier addict.
But he didn’t mind; after all, having someone like him under his command was undoubtedly significant for the future of the Dimension Conquest plan.
Ye Yi commanded an iron-blooded army, launching direct assaults while countless Starships swept through to crush any potential enemies.
Ye Er wielded power from the shadows, conducting operations quietly without the enemy’s awareness, only to strike suddenly at the last moment and seize their throats.
Ye Kai smiled with satisfaction.
From the very beginning, it was these two who had followed him and protected him.
Now they had grown strong enough to support their own endeavors, allowing him to finally unleash his ambitions.
"God, have you analyzed the structure of that weapon called 'Black Annihilation Wave' yet?" Ye Kai asked cautiously.
"Not yet..."
Just when he thought he was about to annoy the girl again, he suddenly heard her cheerfully say, "But God has found a solution to the problem of radiation energy interference. Hehe, isn't that impressive?"
"Really?" Ye Kai exclaimed with delight.
"Of course it's true! How could Lord God not believe in God..." This cute girl immediately changed her expression, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and pounced at him with claws out.
This was truly an unexpected gain; he hadn't anticipated that a lucky mistake would solve one of the most critical problems at hand.
Whether in daily life or during war, what is most important? Isn't it the significance of information!?
Once they could launch an Artificial Satellite and a Multifunctional Detector, he would regain the initiative in this prolonged war. How could he not be thrilled?
It seemed that after this bout of exhaustion leading to deep sleep, this chubby little girl had become even more lively. She felt just like any ordinary child from a regular family.
If there was any difference, it was that she had become more protective and put even more effort into her designed "toys." Even though these so-called "toys" were actually powerful weapons, she was less tolerant of others' doubts.
Ye Kai knew very well that the conception, analysis, development, experimentation, and final shaping of these weapons were mostly thanks to those researchers.
However, the strength of God lay in her ability to further enhance the overall performance and quality of these weapons based on that foundation.
Therefore, regarding this girl taking all the credit for herself, Ye Kai wouldn't mind. After all, for those researchers, having direction and conditions for their studies was more important than anything else.
If in the past they would have placed great importance on the issue of ownership regarding research achievements, for them now, it was merely a series of challenges to overcome.
Each of them had numerous similar problems waiting to be solved, leaving no time to argue with you about ownership issues.
Ye Kai did not know how others viewed this group of research fanatics, but every time he saw these spirited individuals in white coats, their faces glowing with enthusiasm, he felt a shiver run down his spine.
Because even when facing him, the Lord God, these people would not hesitate to pound the table, glare fiercely, and even roar loudly.
Well!
This was a group that could not be scolded or reprimanded; they had to be treated with care like precious treasures!
With the divine presence among them, there was no way these individuals would suffer from anything like "overwork death." In fact, when they felt even the slightest bit tired, they would immediately pop a "blue pill" filled with pure life energy.
Once ingested, within just a few minutes, they would be revitalized, striding forward with vigor.
Ye Kai had witnessed it firsthand: two national treasure-level researchers in their seventies or eighties, when angered, would roll up their sleeves and charge in bare-armed. Not only would they curse loudly, but they could also dodge and weave as they did so.
Their punching speed and physical agility were enough to easily outclass any twenty-something youth.
What?
You're still an elderly person in your seventies or eighties?
If you have the guts, go ahead and try to persuade them. They might stop fighting each other, but they would undoubtedly turn their ire toward you. No matter who you were, after jumping around and cursing at you, they'd roll up their sleeves and come after you.
This is what researchers are like.
This is the reason why every time Ye Kai sees them or hears their reports and complaints, he feels a shiver run down his spine.
And now, the adorable, chubby Girl has not only transformed into the number one warrior in the System Space but has also developed a strong interest in research projects.
This left Ye Kai utterly bewildered.
However, as long as she is willing, like now when she holds a colorful marker, preparing to draw on her own face, he feels content.
Although it’s unlikely that she will get her way, Ye Kai truly enjoys this relaxed atmosphere.
It seems that even if the days ahead continue like this, there’s nothing wrong with it!
The sound of her bell-like laughter filled the entire Hope with vitality and energy at that moment.
At the same time, it awakened Ye Kai's childlike spirit, making him laugh and play along.
“Lord God, Deputy Commander, the Multifunctional Detector has been launched. Should we immediately launch the Artificial Satellite?” Just as they were having fun and starting to feel a bit hungry, WIKI suddenly appeared.
In fact, he had already become an individual in his own right, but he still felt a great deal of fear towards the nominal Deputy Commander, who could control his life and death with just a thought.
However, there were some matters he truly didn’t dare to decide on his own, which was why he had ‘gathered his courage’ to report.
“Well, you can handle that yourself!” Ye Kai waved his hand dismissively.
"Exactly, exactly, this WIKI is getting dumber by the day!"
The deity suddenly squinted with big eyes, revealing a sly, fox-like grin. "Should I…"
"You little Girl, why are you bullying WIKI? He's not having an easy time either. Now when he sees you, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. Look how scared you've made him."
Ye Kai gave Girl a light thump on the head. "No more teasing him, got it?"
"Ouch! That hurts!"
The deity covered her forehead, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, ready to shed 'golden tears.' Ye Kai chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Girl, why do you get all teary over just one word?"
…
Soon enough, the time of seven had passed.
Sitting in the already constructed main base hall, Ye Kai and the others grew increasingly serious and tense.
This was a pivotal moment, a historic one.
Under the complete betrayal of Karliza, all the infiltrators from other factions were identified one by one. By gathering the experiences and insights of this group, they actually discovered some useful information.
For instance, just three hours ago, the Multifunctional Detector had detected something very strange.
They had found and studied certain characteristics that could be used to modify the Hope-Class Air Battleship and the Multifunctional Detector. Surprisingly, the 'Stellar Iron' had inexplicably vanished from that country called Sarudin, located tens of thousands of miles away.
Moreover, the five Multifunctional Detectors that were sent to investigate kept disappearing as soon as they reached their designated locations, never to be contacted again.
It is important to note that the current Multifunctional Detector was developed using a combination of various technologies. Not only did it possess excellent detection capabilities, but it also had very powerful protective devices.
However, now six of them had vanished in succession, which made Ye Kai increasingly interested in the ‘Wizard's Treasure.’
“Uncle, look quickly!!!”
Allen, who had stubbornly joined this meeting, curiously stared at the enormous Light Screen in front of him and suddenly let out a startled shout.
Ye Kai, who had been fully focused, was taken aback by the sudden noise. However, seeing the annoyed expressions on the faces of others, he shot a fierce glare at Allen before turning his attention back.
“What is that thing? Could it be that it’s the one that devoured the Multifunctional Detectors?” Ye Yi suddenly murmured.
The others also noticed this scene and immediately perked up, looking towards the Light Screen.
On the Light Screen, the Multifunctional Detector seemed to have entered a strong magnetic interference zone. The image was shaking continuously, with strange and distorted lights flickering from all directions.
Suddenly, the scene changed. A group of Crimson Armored Cavalry riding black horses was rapidly approaching another group of fully equipped Silver-Armored Cavalry. Suddenly, a massive lava explosion with a diameter of hundreds of meters erupted in mid-air.
Every droplet of molten rock that was blasted away instantly transformed into huge flames, raining down like a Meteor Shower, obliterating all the cavalry in an instant.
