Ten days later.

Lu Youyou received statistical information from various races.

They've actually discovered materials for making suspended soil balls!

She used her own resources to exchange for materials, and then created a floating earthen ball about the size of a small planet, which she placed around the planet Wangxing.

She doesn't intend to distribute this planet among the various families; instead, she plans to plant or raise things that her own members like.

On the same day, Zhang Yuning also brought her good news.

"Youyou, look! The cell phone I made!"

Lu Youyou looked at the black lump in front of her, a question mark slowly appearing above her head.

Seeing Lu Youyou's question, Zhang Yuning said excitedly, "Youyou, you don't understand. I always feel that it's not safe for us to rely entirely on our watches to stay in touch."

"So you just made a phone yourself?"

Zhang Yuning nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'm using basic materials, which are different from the finished products from the laboratory. I'm just afraid that if the watch malfunctions, the entire universe will be paralyzed."

"It shouldn't be paralyzed, right? The previous boss worked on it for so long, and there's no record of it being repaired."

"The less maintenance records there are, the scarier it is! What can last for more than two hundred years without breaking down? Besides, the previous leader wasn't stupid. Why didn't he use the methods we use to subdue various races to subdue them?"

"A watch definitely can't handle too many functions; it might stop working any day. Let's stick with the phone I made. It has all sorts of games and videos; we can mentally numb ourselves to them."

Lu Youyou suddenly burst out laughing, and when she saw Zhang Yuning's slightly resentful look, her smile widened.

“Yu Ning, it’s not that I don’t believe in your abilities. Uncle Zhang has said before that you studied computer science and have talent in both hardware and software, but… don’t you think this phone looks too much like a brick?”

"It's inconvenient to hold it in your hand, and it's not safe to put it in your pocket. Everyone will definitely put it in the backpack compartment to keep it safe. If the watch breaks down, you won't be able to get the phone out of the backpack compartment either."

Zhang Yuning slapped his thigh, realizing Lu Youyou's concerns.

"Then I'll go and do some more research to see how to make them the size of a normal mobile phone."

"Okay, once you've finished your research, I'll send one to every member of the universe and let them get addicted to playing on their phones."

Zhang Yuning was very efficient. In less than half a month, he developed a thin-plate mobile phone, as well as large-screen TVs, computers, tablets and other devices.

When Lu Youyou saw the two improved items, she was still somewhat incredulous.

It was only then that she realized how terrifying Zhang Yuning's talent in computers was.

One person, without a team, created electronic devices that were exactly the same as those used by everyone on Earth.

Leaving aside the commonly used apps already installed, the most important thing is that it contains hundreds of classic games that she has recreated.

Every single one of these games is one that Lu Youyou has seen others spending money like crazy and getting completely hooked on.

Lu Youyou casually opened a short video app and found that all the videos were highly-rated ones she had watched before.

It's either educational or a funny video...

The video was entirely created by Zhang Yuning from memory; it wasn't a real recording, yet it was exactly the same as what Lu Youyou remembered seeing.

She gave Zhang Yuning a thumbs up and affirmed, "Okay, it works. Can you mass-produce it?"

"I probably can't do it alone. I also want you to ask in the guard group if anyone has studied computer science before. Both software and hardware are needed. Only when everyone works together can I mass-produce."

Lu Youyou suggested, "How about we use the lab's mass production function?"

Zhang Yuning pursed his lips: "Given a choice, I don't trust other people's skills; I only trust my own."

Lu Youyou raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll help you find some computer science students in the guard group, and you can make the phones yourself."

After saying that, she tagged all the guards and told them what had happened.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few people studying computer science; out of 100,000 people, 12,000 are involved in computer-related fields.

Lu Youyou simply had the construction robots build a large factory that could accommodate all these people.

With everyone's participation, production efficiency has greatly improved.

There is a large inventory of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, but it is still not enough for every member of the universe to have one.

Lu Youyou came up with a solution: distribute the money in descending order of the proportions based on the order in which the contracts were signed.

The top three races, including the Mosquito family, basically ensure that every adult member has one; the further down the line a race signs a contract, the less they receive.

Once races start playing new games and watching new jokes, they forget about scheming and instead spend all their time late into the night fiddling with their phones.

The top-ranked groups are alright; most of them have mobile phones, so they don't have to play them all the time. Although they can be addicted, they don't neglect their responsibilities.

The smaller groups are in a much worse situation. Some groups with hundreds of members only have a handful of phones, so they have to wait in a long line to play.

Gradually, discord arose within the group, with people beginning to complain about those who had agreed to join forces with the firefly family to rob the soil-ball crops.

They even forced the most active people who mobilized everyone to go to Wang Xing to apologize to Lu Youyou, just to get a few more cell phones.

After they left, Lu Youyou went to Zhang Yuning's office and gave him a thumbs up with both hands.

"Yu Ning, you're amazing! They really are addicted to their phones."

Zhang Yuning sat on the sofa chair, proudly crossing his legs.

"Of course, we're not obsessed with cell phones because we've played with them since we were kids and we've already passed the point of addiction. But it's different for them; they've never even had a chance to use them, so of course they'd get addicted!"

"To gain the loyalty of a family, you have to dispel their original xenophobic ideas. They need what I have, and they can only accept the knowledge that I share with them on short videos."

"Even if we can't change their minds in a short time, we can change the minds of their descendants. They will know that Lu Youyou is the greatest person in the universe. Those who obey you will prosper, and those who oppose you will perish."

Lu Youyou was amazed by Zhang Yuning's intelligence and even more delighted that Zhang Yuning was wholeheartedly making plans for her.

The reactions of the various races were consistent with Zhang Yuning's expectations, and Lu Youyou's anxiety subsided.

What Zhang Yuning just said was like laying many layers of soft cushions on the ground.

My heart didn't hurt at all as it fell; instead, it bounced around a few times with joy.

She rushed over, hugged Zhang Yuning, and kept saying "You're so good" countless times.

"Okay, okay, that's enough! I'm not a lesbian~ I'll stop now!"

Lu Youyou withdrew her hand and sat down neatly next to Zhang Yuning.

"Anyway, thank you so much."

"You're welcome. We're all in this together. By the way, tomorrow is your birthday. Everyone has a surprise planned for you. Make sure you get up before six o'clock."

"Okay! I'll go to sleep before it gets dark tonight, and I'm sure I'll wake up before six o'clock."

In fact, Lu Youyou was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, she sat in front of the mirror, looked at her two huge dark circles under her eyes, and laughed in exasperation.

Damn dark circles!

Why does it have to happen on a special day when her friends surprise her?

She sighed, took out foundation from the drawer, and silently began to apply makeup.

Half an hour later, she finished packing.

The moment she opened the door, Lu Youyou was shocked. Why was there such a big commotion?

Seven-colored long-tailed birds flew around the house in the sky, and all kinds of races on the ground transformed into human form, kneeling on both knees, their voices unified and awe-inspiring.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the long road!"

Lu Youyou: ……

What did she do with that?

It seems the emperor has ascended the throne.

Zhang Yuning quietly approached Lu Youyou and raised an eyebrow.

"I told you, short videos will spread the messages I want them to receive. Quickly get them to get up, and while you're at it, announce that the new phones can be picked up for free after the banquet, to increase your approachability."

Lu Youyou suppressed a laugh and announced to the people below.

"Get up and eat, everyone. After the banquet, go to Zhang Yuning's place to get a free cell phone. She just told me that because she saw how well you all did."

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "Thank you, Miss Zhang."

Zhang Yuning glared at Lu Youyou resentfully: "I asked you to increase your approachability, but what did you do? You've taken all the credit for me!"

But the next second, he broke character and smiled broadly. Who doesn't want their friends to think of them?

"No need to thank me. As long as you respect Youyou, I'll let you try out any good things I invent as soon as possible. Let's eat."

The cooking robots lined up to deliver food in an orderly fashion.

At the dinner table, Zhang Weimin raised his glass.

"I am the oldest and the most burdensome. I am only able to come to Wangxing thanks to everyone's care. I will do it."

After downing a glass of wine, Zhang Weimin's face turned bright red, and he became delirious, sitting on the ground grinning foolishly.

Wang Qiao also raised his glass: "Thank you, Youyou, for giving me a second life. I will always remember that."

Yang Yan's eyes reddened: "With friends like you, it would be worth dying tomorrow."

"Why are you saying such unlucky things on such a fine day!"

Zhang Yuning slapped Yang Yan in anger, then drank a glass of wine in one gulp, spitting it all out because he wasn't used to the taste.

Lu Youyou smiled and replaced the baijiu with Sprite, pouring it for everyone.

"It's my birthday today, so no one's allowed to say anything discouraging. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers!"

After finishing her Sprite in one gulp, Lu Youyou let out a satisfied burp.

She looked around and saw close friends, loyal pets, powerful guards, and ample resources…

Her life from now on will be smooth sailing.

Not just her, everyone is.
