A group of people set out and returned to the Great Tang with people in less than half a day. They watched as the groggy Shang Boliang and others were carried down from the gold-collecting ship. Fang Er's mouth twitched unnaturally. Good heavens, this definitely involved violent means.
"Your Highness, how about another one..." Wang Xuance walked over with a smile.
Fang Er: ...................
Is this like playing with sacks?
"Alright, take them away, next batch!" Xiang Lin waved his hand, telling him to take Shang Boliang and the others back to the research institute dormitory, throwing them together with the previous three. Then, he opened another portal to another world. Depart, capture, return. Wang Xuance and the others were skilled at this...
For the next half month, they repeatedly ran this same dungeon. As the number of gold-collecting ships increased, the people participating in the operation gradually grew from just Wang Xuance's team to seven! The result of all seven portals being open was that within half a month, they had traversed 285 parallel worlds. They collected a total of 263 gold-collecting ships, 217 Shang Boliangs, 256 Gauss', and 188 Faradays! This result greatly surprised Fang Er.
Fang Er was not surprised that the gold-collecting ships in 22 worlds were accidentally discovered and taken away. He was also not surprised that in nearly 100 worlds, Faraday had died before 1830. After all, being a master of both physics and chemistry, it was understandable to lose one's life during experiments. But why was the mortality rate of Shang Boliang, a linguist, so high?
Wang Xuance walked over with a booklet and reported, "Your Highness, I asked the people below. The main reason is that Shang Boliang made a mistake while translating for someone and was beaten to death."
Fang Er: ..................
Damn, translation in the 19th century is a high-risk profession? Seeing him frozen there, Wang Xuance asked, "Your Highness, do you want to continue?"
"Follow me!" Fang Er did not answer immediately, but led him to the seven devices. In the past few days, while Wang Xuance led people back and forth between parallel worlds, he had been guarding the devices, adjusting them until his hands were calloused. The system had previously said that besides opening seven temporary portals and two fixed portals simultaneously, there was also a second management permission slot. Fang Er was very satisfied with Wang Xuance's performance over the years, and it was good to have him as the administrator.
"System Sister, bind Wang Xuance as the second administrator."
[Binding the second administrator costs five billion points, confirm?]
"Confirm!" Fang Er replied affirmatively. He had long lost the concept of points and money. Whenever he lacked them, he would just take out more than 200 gold-collecting ships and go on a spree. The main thing was that he, a living person, could not be tied here and used as a tool.
However, as soon as this thought arose, the system's extremely dissatisfied voice came into his mind.
[You scoundrel! You're so rich, why haven't you ever given me a gift?]
Fang Er almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.
"System Sister, you're being unreasonable. Take whatever you like from the warehouse. Why are you saying such a thing?"
[Nonsense! Do I want your things?]
"Uh, I didn't say you couldn't use them. If you have needs, just say it, and I guarantee it will be done in minutes!"
[You're hopeless! I want your attitude, understand?]
Fang Er: .................
"My dear System Sister..." Damn it, before he could finish speaking, he felt disgusted himself, so he gave up the idea of speaking in such a syrupy tone.
"That's enough! Let's do the serious business first. We'll talk about this romantic stuff later!"
[You've got a severe case of male chauvinism! How did I end up with a host like you!]
As soon as she finished speaking, a blue light shot out from Fang Er's forehead, piercing directly into Wang Xuance's forehead. Before Wang Xuance could react, the blue light disappeared. The next moment, he felt as if this world had become somewhat different.
[Ding! Second management authority bound successfully!]
The prompt sound soon appeared in Fang Er's mind, but then he heard the system's resentful voice.
[I've done the job for you. Think carefully about what you should do, otherwise, I don't mind finding another host, for example, this Old Wang is quite good!]
What the heck? Old Wang next door? Fang Er looked at Wang Xuance with immediate vigilance. Had he dug a pit for himself?
When Wang Xuance turned around, he saw his prince staring at him, his eyes even showing a hint of... Killing intent? He couldn't help but shiver and quickly said, "Your Highness, is there something I haven't done well enough?"
Fang Er shook his head meaningfully at him. "Not at all. I was just wondering if it's time to find you a wife..."
"You run around to different worlds every day. If you fancy someone, bring them back yourself. I'll personally be your witness, how about that?"
Wang Xuance's face instantly turned crimson upon hearing this, and he said shyly, "Your subordinate dare not trouble Your Highness..."
Huh? Seeing his reaction, how could Fang Er not know that he had a target? But if he didn't want to clarify, then he wouldn't press further. He would ask Xue Rengui and Ge Luoyang later. Those guys would definitely know something.
Fang Er smiled at Wang Xuance and then handed him a pile of character profiles. From Lu Ban and Mozi in the Huaxia homeland to Huang Luzhuang and Zou Boqi in the Qing Dynasty, anyone who had achieved something was recorded in these profiles. Then, he patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder a few times and pointed to the surroundings.
"Notify them to have the craftsmen come and build a wall around here."
"This place should also have a name. From now on, it will be called the Time and Space Administration, and you will be the first director!"
"Come, I'll teach you how to open a time and space portal to connect with other worlds."
After saying that, he personally demonstrated it to Wang Xuance. In fact, this operation was very simple, and Wang Xuance had seen him do it before, but without binding the brainwaves, others could not operate it. Now that he had the second management authority, Wang Xuance also tried to rub the protruding stick above the sphere a few times. Soon, a line of small blue characters appeared on the sphere: pc005-440 BC. Seeing this, he excitedly asked, "Your Highness, can this open a time and space portal to the Spring and Autumn period?"
