Chapter 164 Science and Cultivation
Only sixty people remained. Yes, there were only sixty people out of a thousand. But, Brian wasn’t worried. As long as these people follow his lead, he knew he can win whatever the situation might be.
“Are you sure to go with just sixty people?” Cao Ping asked with a serious expression. She was a bit skeptical about this plan and hopes to change his mind.
Sixty is almost half of a regular legion.
“That’s what I said at the beginning. Only sixty people are enough for me.” Brian nodded his head as he spoke to his master. Then, he turned his head at the remaining sixty people.
“Since you have chosen to follow me into the battlefield, I will be your commander from now on. You must follow my every command. Since we have a week left for us, do whatever you want to do right now.”
“And, you, come forward!”
Brian said while pointing at the young man who previously asked him about regret. The young man was a bit stunned. He nervously walked forward.
“Do you have anything important to do for a week?” Brian asked.
“N-nn-no, I don’t have anything to do.” The young man immediately shook his head. He truly didn’t have much to do.
“What’s your name?” Brian asked.
“M-my name is Guo Ming.” Guo Ming shuttered when he replied. He was extremely nervous.
“Good, I announce you to be my personal assistant. You can’t command anyone to do anything but everyone must cooperate with you, and answer any of your questions. Whether anyone has greater strength than you or not matters nothing.”
“I am Las giving you this position to prepare a record for me. I want you to record everything of my legion’s members including strength, weakness, cultivation technique, martial arts, secrets arts, special talent, pills, weapons, specialized profession, background, everything.”
“And, also prepare another report. For this report, you can ask any twenty people you see fit. This report is about our enemies and opponents. I want every information from the small legion to the big legion.”
“The name and powers of every ranker. The strength and possible weaknesses of every young man or woman who has entered GOLF. You can ask elders, other disciples, and even leave the sect to gather information.”
“Rumors or truth, it doesn’t matter. I want every possible information that you can gather. And, here take this!” Saying so, he took out a spatial ring from the original spatial that his master gave him and send it to Guo Ming.
“Now, leave!”
He looked at the others and shouted. His voice shook their soul for a moment as they quickly left. Brian’s tone was scary for a moment.
Even elders were surprised. Cao Ping looked at him with surprise and asked “Have you already considered everything in your mind?”
“I have seen their realms so I am currently formulating the possible training sensation for them. I am not just going to complete the task but also rank first on the list. For that, I need to make them a strong team.” Brian replied.
“So, what do you plan to do now?” Cao Ping asked.
“I need to visit a place. Where do we keep weapons?” Brian asked.
Hearing his question, Cao Ping turned her head at one of the elders and said “He will take you to the Weapon Hall. You can get whatever you want as long as it is not above Domain Rank.”
“Thank you, master!” Brian brightly smiled as he thanked his master and walked to that elder.
“Is there something you want, Brian?” The elder was surprised by his approach and asked.
“Elder, I would like to get a weapon. Can you take me to the Weapon Hall and help me identify the weapon that I want?” Brian asked.
The elder was surprised but he quickly smiled and nodded.
“Of course, please follow me!”
“Ahh, wait a minute! I want to ask the other two elders to come with me.” Saying so, he rushed toward Ying Mo and asked.
“Elder, is it possible to accompany me and help me with something?”
Ying Mo was surprised but also extremely thrilled.
“Of course, I would love to do so.”
“Thank you, please join that elder. I will join you in a minute.” Saying so, Brian walked away toward elder Su.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Elder Su was surprised as well. He saw Brian approaching two other elders and now he wanted to approach him which surprised him for a moment.
“Elder, I am working on a new project and I plan to finish it within a week. I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with it.” Brian requested him with a bow.
“Of course, I am glad to help you.” Elder Su was embarrassed by his bow. While his strength was weak, in terms of intelligence, he feels Brian was much above him.
“Elder Su, do you know any elder who is good at forging?” Brian asked.
“It would be Elder Tu. He is quite an amazing forger.” Elder Su replied.
Brian looked around but he didn’t see Elder Tu. He caught up to his master who was already leaving and said “Master, can you contact Elder Tu and ask him to meet me at Weapon Hall?”
“It seems like you are doing something big.” Cao Ping was surprised by the number of elders he had gathered. It wasn’t just numbers. They also had a variety.
“I am working on something.” Brian answered.
“Alright! I will inform him.” Cao Ping nodded and left. After she left, Brian approached three elders.
As they walked away, Brian spoke “Elders, I would explain my plan after Elder Tu joins us. Is it okay?”
“I don’t think that’s a problem. But, I do have a question. Brian, you are very young but then why do you know so much?” Elder Su asked curiously. The other two elders were also curious.
“Elders, I have Eidetic Memory. I can memorize anything and never forget it. And, I can understand everything just after reading it. So, I have understood everything except for cultivation during my childhood.”
“I have a lot of hypothetical theories which haven’t been proven yet but they are solid. Let’s just say that I am very intelligent about these things.” Brian answered with a smile.
“What exactly did you study? I mean you gave me such a wonderful idea and it seems like you knew it was correct. How could you know something that is related to cultivation without knowing anything about cultivation.” Elder Su continued to ask.
Brian thought for a moment and answered “Actually, you can consider this as cultivation. It is a bit different but understandably, it is actually the study of nature.”
“As cultivators, you understand the natural laws and try to comprehend them. As a scientist, you also understand the natural laws and try to manipulate them.”
“The only different between science and cultivation would be the ways to harness the natural laws. Those who study science use technology. Such as this.”
Saying so, he took out his small watch and continued “It has a small motor inside it which keeps on spinning. So, instead of using a sand watch or watching the sun, I can measure time by simply looking at the needle.”
“Currently, the smallest needle is pointing at 3 and the bigger needle is pointing at 10. These two are the needles for hours and minutes. The time starts at 12:00 in the morning. We can find out what time it is just by looking at where the needle is and where the sun is.”
“I mean it doesn’t tell us whether it is evening or morning but the sun does that for us. As for the bigger needle, it tells us the minute. You can see the small line between 1 and 2, right? Well, these lines represent the passing of each minute.”
“When it passes 59 lines, it finally moves the smallest needle. And, the one which keeps moving is second. And, it moves continuously so that it can move the minute needle after 59 lines.”
“This is science. On the other hand.”
Brian extended his hand and the fire came out of his palm.
“This is cultivation. Using science, we still can’t produce fire out of the palm. But, using cultivation, it is possible. Now my next project is related to both of these.”
Hearing his words, three elders looked at him with shiny eyes.
“Does that mean you are going to tell us more about this Science stuff?”
Brian’s expression got a bit ugly as he replied.
“I might not be able to tell you everything since I only have a week and also need to cultivate but I will do my best.”
“That would be enough. That would be enough. We just want to expand our knowledge. With your science stuff, maybe we can make our cultivation a bit easier.”
