Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"I want to...follow you. Whatever you say, Orange will do." Orange's beautiful eyes were full of determination.

It was all for the pie in the sky that Xu Cheng had promised.

The world is prosperous, the people live in peace, and there is no more war. This glory is so grand that when the girl first heard it, she was filled with shock and excitement.

Although her hatred for Dai Hao remained, the girl had a grander goal after dealing with him.

"in this way……"

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Then let me introduce myself."

"My name is Xu Cheng, the eleventh prince of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Your Highness?!"

Upon hearing this, Orange paused in the act of chewing.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

They hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Although the Sun Moon Empire was technologically and ideologically advanced, it was ultimately a feudal regime, and in terms of the royal family, it was not much different from the Three Kingdoms.

Xu Cheng smiled.

“I told you, the Holy Spirit Cult will help you stand up... Call me Brother Cheng, or A-Cheng, it’s fine.”

"..."

The girl's eyes were filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty... Brother Cheng."

"Eat, there's not enough."

Xu Cheng chuckled.

"Ok!"

"..."

Watching the girl become more conscious of her appearance, Xu Cheng lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

Now that we've found them, nurturing them is extremely important.

To become a legendary warrior, one must undergo years of trials and tribulations.

But should he simply hand her over to the military and entrust her to Huo Qing's care, allowing her to mature more quickly through the crucible of war and learn the ropes of combat, or should he bring her back to the Sun Moon Empire? After all, what he needs most right now is talent, and temporarily appointing her as his secretary is a good option...

"Ju Zi, I'll give you two choices. One, join the army to hone your skills, fight the Star Luo Empire, strengthen yourself, and even become an army commander to avenge your parents."

"Second, come back to Mingdu with me and join the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire. Stay by my side as my secretary. When the time is right, I will directly send you into the army."

After a long silence, Xu Cheng finally spoke.

After thinking about it, I decided to give the choice to Orange.

"I choose two!"

The girl swallowed the chicken leg without hesitation.

"Being my secretary will bring a lot of trouble, and who knows when you'll become the commander-in-chief of the army. As for assassinating Dai Hao, it's a completely unheard-of plot. Are you really sure?"

Xu Cheng stopped tapping his fingers on the table.

"I am sure!"

The girl's eyes were full of determination.

……

Chapter 42 The Royal Inspectorate! Getting Involved!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking in the homeless Orange. Reward: Design of the [First Generation Artificial Intelligence] Soul Guiding Core Array!"

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply.

Artificial intelligence! That's artificial intelligence!

You should know that this is the thing that Xu Cheng has always been thinking about.

Especially those from later generations who know its horrors.

Future research plans, particularly in the area of ​​missiles, suggest that with artificial intelligence, many things can be accomplished!

Moreover, in the field of mecha research, he had been drooling over Jarvis, the Iron Man, in his previous life.

Even basic artificial intelligence will have an enormous impact on the entire Soul Master community!

Xu Cheng glanced at the girl sitting in the soul-guided vehicle beside him, who kept dozing off.

A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

What a lucky charm!

……

Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire

After sending members of the Holy Spirit Cult to handle Orange's enrollment procedures.

After instructing Nana to settle Orange into her accommodation,

They couldn't wait to go to Mingde Hall.

Since becoming Master Cheng's disciple, I no longer need to go to the experimental building, but to Master Cheng's own laboratory in Mingde Hall.

Xu Cheng placed his badge on the front of the laboratory door for scanning, and with a "beep," the metal doors on both sides slowly opened.

Walk inside.

Various rare metals were casually piled up on both sides, as well as high-level instruments that could not be bought on the market and high-level soul guidance core formations. These were everywhere here, and every time I came in, I couldn't help but marvel at Old Master Cheng's extravagance.

A basement laboratory spanning thousands of square meters—even in the capital city where land is incredibly valuable, very few people could afford it.

Professor Cheng is not here at the moment; perhaps he has gone to give a lecture.

Without wasting words, Xu Cheng took out the design blueprints for the core formation of artificial intelligence and placed them on the instrument table.

I'm starting to use my analytical expertise...

Two hours later.

Xu Cheng slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with joy.

Although during the final exam, he "programmed" the arrangement of the core formation, using a few clever tricks to create a stunning scene.

Strictly speaking, it has absolutely nothing to do with artificial intelligence.

The programming principles from the previous life were applied to the core formation, enabling them to operate simply through the formation.

Xu Cheng prefers to call this initial AI formation design an "attached formation".

For example, using it in conjunction with other high-level soul tools would definitely be a moment that goes down in the history of soul tools!

"Let's discuss this after the teacher arrives."

Xu Cheng stretched.

His current strength is ultimately too weak; only by handing over such powerful weapons to his teacher can their full potential be realized.

Future missile designs... may not be too far off.

……

I walked out of the laboratory building.

It's currently a holiday.

With about ten days left before the start of the school year, the campus was visibly deserted.

Xu Cheng headed straight for his dormitory, intending to catch up on some sleep.

But several figures blocked their way.

Xu Cheng looked up.

There were six people in total, all middle-aged men in their thirties or forties, wearing standard military armor.

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Two Soul Emperors and six Soul Kings.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group strode up to Xu Cheng, waved a token in front of him, and sneered, "Royal Guard, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince, come with us..."

Xu Cheng's electrocardiogram showed a rapid change.

It was obvious that the other party was targeting him.

It's common knowledge that the head of the Royal Guard is biased towards the Fourth Prince, so for the Ming Dynasty to target him directly seems rather arrogant...

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Your Highness, Eleventh Prince, you are suspected of deliberately harming a member of the royal family. Come with us to assist in the investigation."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of golden handcuffs, and the fluctuations of his soul power became noticeably stronger.

It was obvious that if Xu Cheng dared to resist, he would immediately be subjected to a fierce attack by the six men.
