Chapter 50 You'll find out tomorrow
"What a great name!" Kong Deming's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.
"Taking the characters 'Morning Star' from your name, we can transform them into 'Starry Sky.' Starry Sky hangs high in the sky, while the tower soars into the clouds. Together, they represent the highest and farthest reaches—truly a magnificent Starry Sky Tower!"
Ye Chenxing said, "Elder Kong, I have another request."
"Oh?" Kong Deming raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
"I don't want the Star Tower to be too closely tied to the officialdom," Ye Chenxing said, carefully choosing his words. "At least on the surface, that's best."
Jing Hongchen frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Why? With official endorsement, your products can circulate freely throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire. Isn't that a good thing?"
Ye Chenxing shook his head and looked calmly at the two of them: "It's precisely because it's too good that it won't work. It's already difficult for a Soul Master product from the Sun Moon Empire to enter the Douluo Three Kingdoms. If the Star Tower is marked with the official mark of the Sun Moon Empire from the very beginning, it will be even more difficult."
"What I want is for the Star Tower's soul tools to appear in every corner of the continent, instead of being locked within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire."
Kong Deming pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "That's simple."
"Let's choose a site in the outer city of Mingdu to establish our headquarters."
"The outer city is a melting pot of people, with merchants from all over the world gathering there, making it an ideal hiding place. On the surface, Star Tower is just an independent private force, which will make it much easier for your products to enter the original three kingdoms."
Ye Chenxing smiled and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Kong. I will go back and make preparations now."
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Yulin suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Chenxing stopped and looked at Ye Yulin with some surprise.
This ninth-level Soul Master suddenly seemed a bit strange. He rubbed his hands together, his face showing a hint of awkwardness, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Elder Ye?"
"Morning Star, have you forgotten something?"
Ye Yulin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "That... that level five 'Sun God Needle' you made before, could I... take a look?"
The fact that a level nine Soul Master made such a cautious request made everyone present unable to help but chuckle.
Ye Chenxing chuckled and immediately took out an exquisite soul tool from his storage soul tool, handing it over with both hands. He said humbly, "Elder Ye, you flatter me. This is a level 5 gadget that I made after seeing your level 9 Sun God Needle recorded in the ancient books. Compared with your level 9 masterpiece, it is really not worthy of being presented."
Ye Yulin disregarded formalities and took the soul tool as if it were a rare treasure, scrutinizing every detail with eager eyes.
He examined it closely, exclaiming in uncontrollable admiration, "Morning Star, this is no imitation! The craftsmanship and ingenious design surpass even mine! This divine needle has broken through my limitation of only being able to charge during the day, and can even be used at night... The name 'Sun God Needle' is no longer worthy of it; it should be called, it should be called 'Sun and Moon Divine Needle'!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxing smiled slightly: "The inspiration originally came from you. Whatever you say it's called, that's what it will be called."
Ye Yulin, however, was completely immersed in the intricate manufacturing process and paid no attention to the outside world.
"Oh my god, so this is how it can be done..."
"The core magic array can be layered and depicted in such a way... Brilliant! I see, this way, it's indeed possible to achieve such an amazing effect within the limits of a mere level five material!"
"A masterpiece! This is absolutely a masterpiece!"
After a long while, Ye Yulin reluctantly raised her head, her eyes filled with curiosity and disbelief: "Chenxing, tell me honestly, how long have you been researching this piece?"
Upon hearing his question, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen also curiously came over.
"Research? Not really... I just had a sudden inspiration while reading a book, thought I could give it a try, and then I made it."
"??"
The room fell silent instantly.
What kind of outrageous and inhumane words are these!
Soul tool research isn't like that! You should first have a preliminary concept, then undergo lengthy theoretical verification, draw hundreds of design sketches, experience countless collapses of the core magic array and material waste, and then have a flash of inspiration in the dead of night! Only by searching for that one and only possibility among thousands of failures can you finally succeed!
Ye Yulin took several deep breaths, quickly bolstering her spirits, and forcibly changed the subject: "Um, Morning Star, what do you think is the best way for us to develop the field of high-altitude soul tools going forward?"
At this moment, Ye Yulin regarded Ye Chenxing as a soul guide master who was the same as him, no, who surpassed him, and asked him this question that had troubled him for a long time.
Ye Chenxing lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "I think we should continue to work on altitude." He stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head, "What we are doing now is not enough. My idea is to send a special soul tool to an extremely high place that even a Limit Douluo cannot reach, so that it can float and orbit outside our world like a star for a long time and stably."
Amidst the shocked gazes of the others, he slowly said, "I call it... Soul Guidance Satellite."
"This idea is closely related to the soul guidance communication that I have been researching all along. Without this satellite high in the sky as a signal relay, the coverage of soul guidance communication will ultimately be limited. Elder Ye, your research in the field of high-altitude soul guidance devices has reached its peak. I very much hope to work with you to turn this idea into reality."
Ye Yulin was thrilled to hear this, her eyes shining brightly. She was overjoyed and exclaimed "Bravo!" repeatedly.
In the following time, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming couldn't hold back any longer and joined the heated discussion.
Ye Chenxing, relying on his insights into Blue Star technology as a transmigrator and Archer's understanding of soul tools, seemed to be able to see through the clouds and get straight to the core of every point raised by the three, no matter how difficult or complex the question was.
Gradually, the three powerful figures who could make the Sun Moon Empire tremble with a stomp of their feet all unanimously became listeners.
They either frowned in thought, or suddenly realized something, or clapped their hands in admiration, their faces occasionally showing expressions of amazement, as if to say, "So that's how it can be done."
After the discussion ended, Kong Deming let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with admiration and respect as he looked at Ye Chenxing: "Chenxing, I thought I had overestimated your talent in soul tools. But now it seems I greatly underestimated you."
Ye Chenxing maintained his humble demeanor and smiled slightly: "Master Kong, you flatter me."
Kong Deming waved his hand, a mysterious smile on his face, and changed the subject: "I was having a headache before, wondering how to get those Soul Masters who usually stay cooped up in their own laboratories to willingly join the Star Tower to assist you, a junior. Now I finally have an idea."
"Huh?" Ye Chenxing was taken aback, wondering what this senior was up to.
Kong Deming simply stroked his beard mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense: "You'll find out tomorrow."
(P.S.: The organization was created primarily to pave the way for characters from Douluo Three Kingdoms to appear in Sun Moon.)
