Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 46: Dropped

"No, I wanted the continuation of one of the novels you gave me before.

The story just got good, but why are there no next chapters?

It's the one with the MC named Lucas. I remember the title had 'kill' or 'author' in it."

Hearing this, Alex smirked. At first, he thought she would get addicted to the mobile game, but then he thought she got addicted to novels instead.

"Oh, that one. The author dropped the book."

"What!? Why would he write it if he didn't plan to finish it? So annoying," MingYue complained.

Alex chuckled. "Well, I can't do anything about it.

I would drop him one hundred castles if he continued the story, but I heard the author died in an accident, crushed by a truck.

I'll just send you a completed novel next time. But if you're still curious, there are fanfictions that continue the author's story."

"Fanfiction? Castle?" MingYue asked, not understanding what he meant.

Alex then explained what fanfiction meant and how a castle was simply a donation of money to support the author.

In response to that, MingYue declined.

"No, I'll just read another story then. If it doesn't come from the real author, there's no point in reading it.

Just prepare it then; we'll trade when I reach my sect.

Also, you told me there's a story with pictures and even videos; send me some of them."

"She really likes reading stories," Alex thought to himself, but he didn't mind since that meant they both had the same interests and hobbies.

He just needed to gather his collection of manhwa and anime onto an SD card and then send it to MingYue.

"Oh yeah, I found a Warhammer that should be suitable for you.

Vesa said you found a way to raise Life Force capacity. Let's exchange it for that, then."

"That method is still in the experimental stage, but since your situation is similar to mine, there should be no side effects for you."

Alex then asked MingYue about the progress on the Qi crystal mine.

"I haven't taken any, but I got a stockpile of Qi crystals from my family's treasury.

Most of it is low-grade, but there should be thousands of them. I will send some of the medium-quality ones to you later."

"No need for too much. I just need it for experiments. Send the low-quality ones, too.

If possible, I want to modify a portable generator to run with qi.

This way, I can just send in devices from my world; there's no need to modify them," Alex replied.

He had already used his ability, thinking about how to build one.

Based on his calculations, Alex had two options: he could order a custom one, replace every single part of it with a more robust one, or create a new component that worked like a stabilizer for the volatile qi energy.

MingYue then told Alex about her concerns.

There were a few small qi crystal mines under the Xueqi family, but all the mining processes were handled by affiliated families, and it was labor-intensive.

This meant that after MingYue took over, she would need to put many people there to guard the mine and also manage the workload and transportation.

This was a big problem since the sect was still lacking people with decent strength.

They could use guns, but since only MingYue could control her qi skillfully, the rest of her people would be dependent on Mana crystals, and this was a limited supply since she could only get them from Alex's world.

Another reason she didn't want to do this was that MingYue didn't want their sect to be discovered by anyone for now.

Even with all the technology from Alex's world, compared to real big sects, their military power was still nothing.

All this instead became detrimental since the sect became a treasure trove that every other sect and prominent family would want to take over.

Hearing this, Alex suggested, "Why not use Vesa then? You haven't used Vesa's abilities to search for treasure.

Try to look for a new Qi crystal lode, then dig underground and move the secret realm entrance there.

That way, you won't need to worry about transport and other people finding the location of the sect."

Hearing this, MingYue agreed, and she put this on her next to-do list. Alex then asked MingYue about the progress with her family.

MingYue skimmed over part of the story, only telling him the key points of what happened.

The reason was that she already knew how he would react; even without the full story, she could already hear him laughing.

"Told you it wouldn't be that simple, just like in the novel you read. There's a reason authors write it like that," Alex said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, can you stop laughing?

Thanks to you, I need many life force energies to unlock this pendant. And it's my life, not a novel; stop comparing it."

Hearing MingYue's rebuke and being reminded of his blunder made Alex stop laughing.

"Alright, sorry, I didn't mean it like that.

Anyway, you already used some of the tools from my world in Daying City, and then you blamed it on the Hua family.

Won't the people there start talking when they come to investigate?"

"They won't believe it. I made sure no photo was left behind.

I also left them some money; this will make the Hua family think they were bribed to tell lies.

And without any qi residue, they won't be able to do much investigation.

The only result they will get is that a Golden Core cultivator came to the city and destroyed the Xueqi family."

Alex agreed with her reasoning. He then changed the topic, explaining the storage cube he had made and how he wanted to use it to capture beasts and criminals.

He would use them as his army until his own cultivation method was perfected.

Meanwhile, in Alex's world, inside a luxury car.

The driver looked at the rearview mirror with a worried expression.

"The young master doesn't even look at his phone, and he keeps changing expressions, even laughing.

Should I tell madam about this?"
