"The Titled Douluo killed all his enemies and avenged his lover. But his lover will never come back."
"That Title Douluo was in so much pain that he didn't want to live alone after his lover died, so he ended his own life and died for love."
Ke Ke vividly recounted a poignant and moving love story. After she finished, she said with emotion:
"Ah~ When will I be able to meet the Titled Douluo that belongs to me~"
After listening to this, Huo Yuhao fell silent.
It's not that he doesn't believe in the old rumor of suicide for love, but he always feels that the story is not credible, as if it was made up specifically to deceive girls like Keke.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Senior Sister Keke, a peerless powerhouse like a Titled Douluo must have an extraordinary character. I don't believe he would die for love so easily."
Ke Ke said: "This is the power of love. Don't disbelieve it. For thousands of years, the strongest people on the continent have betrayed their country for their lovers, some have broken up with each other because of falling in love with the same person, and some have been because of..."
“Their stories are widely known.”
The more Ke Ke spoke, the more excited she became, and the more Huo Yuhao listened, the more confused he became.
He still didn't believe that a Titled Douluo-level warrior would be so emotional that he would do such things.
Huo Yuhao had seen people who were in love before.
Xu Sanshi is a typical love-brained person. At the fighting spirit competition, he had several outbursts because of Jiang Nannan's injury.
Bingdi asked calmly: "Why don't you believe it?"
Huo Yuhao answered casually: "I just think it's inappropriate for a Titled Douluo to do such things, and I have never heard of a Titled Douluo being trapped by love."
"For example, the one who betrayed his country, I believe he was motivated by other interests rather than simply pursuing his own love."
Bingdi asked back: "You haven't heard of it, so it doesn't exist?"
“I haven’t seen it, but it’s possible that it exists. However, I still think it’s unlikely that a Titled Douluo is just in love.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “Unless I see such a Titled Douluo with my own eyes, I will be convinced.”
While Huo Yuhao was listening to Ke Ke's story, Orange was always in silent thought.
Perhaps she was the girl that Huo Yuhao described as strong and brave, working hard for her lofty ideals. It was a pity that such a girl had her own goals, so how could she be trapped by a mere emotion?
Juzi couldn't help but smile. She felt that it might not be easy for the new student to find such a girl.
Thinking of this, she suddenly asked: "Ke Ke, do you have any ideals?"
Ke Ke replied: "Me? My ideal is to find my destined partner, and it would be even better if the other person is a member of the royal family."
"Then why didn't you like Wang Shaojie before?"
"He's so rude, I don't like it."
Juzi turned to look at Huo Yuhao again and asked curiously, "Brother Yuhao, what is your ideal?"
Chapter 220 Soul Guidance Technology Revolution
"My ideal?"
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised that Ju Zi would ask him a question. After a brief thought, he replied, "My ideal may sound a little ridiculous, so please don't laugh at me, senior sisters."
Orange smiled sweetly: "It's okay, just tell me about it."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I hope to lead the transformation of this continent."
Juzi and Keke were both stunned.
Ke Ke covered her mouth and chuckled: "Isn't your ideal too hypocritical?"
Huo Yuhao waved his hand: "This is not empty talk. I have already seen the possibility of success."
Orange could sense the confidence emanating from Huo Yuhao, and asked seriously, "What is it?"
Huo Yuhao held up two fingers and said seriously, "The key lies in two points. First, using soul guides to replace manual labor; second, using soul power to replace other motive forces."
“When these two points are truly combined, the entire continent will undergo earth-shaking changes.”
"I call it the Soul Guidance Technology Revolution."
Orange frowned and asked, "What kind of changes will it be?"
As smart as she was, she realized that this was not a joke or bragging as soon as she heard these two sentences. Her keen intuition told her that this would be a sign of leading the Sun-Moon Empire to a leap forward.
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: “If it succeeds, the efficiency of soul guide manufacturing will be greatly improved, and the threshold for use will be greatly lowered.”
"Originally this was just my idea, but after meeting Teacher Xuan, I firmly believed that this would come true. These two key points correspond to the two soul guides respectively."
Orange asked excitedly, "What kind of soul guide is this?"
"The prototype of the soul-guided machine tool that I proposed, and the sealed milk bottle that Teacher Xuan is developing."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Teacher Xuan of Soul Guidance Machine Tool has already given you a general introduction this morning. The development of the sealed milk bottle can perfectly solve the power problem. Then soul guidance technology will move to a new level.”
He also briefed the two about the sealed milk bottle that Xuan Ziwen was developing.
After hearing this, Orange couldn't contain his excitement.
She knew that the research and development of these two soul guides would further enhance the technological level of the Sun-Moon Empire, which would in turn further enhance the national strength of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Stronger national strength naturally means stronger military power.
This way, her chances of successful revenge would be much greater.
Orange looked up at Huo Yuhao, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
The junior fellow student in front of him not only had outstanding strength, unlike the average Soul Master, but he had also reached the fifth-level Soul Instructor level at a young age, and now he had come up with an astonishing idea.
If we can recruit such a genius around us, wouldn’t he be an extremely powerful help in the future?
Even Orange didn't realize that there was another reason behind his thought.
She suddenly asked, "Brother Yuhao, do you...want to serve the Sun-Moon Empire?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior Orange, what do you mean...?"
Orange carefully arranged her words, trying not to reveal her relationship with the royal family: "I feel... your idea is really great, but is it difficult to realize your idea in the academy?"
"Have you ever thought about entering the imperial city and gaining a higher position after leaving the academy?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then replied, “Senior Sister Juzi, if possible, I would rather stay in Mingde Hall. As for entering the Imperial City, forget it.”
"Why?" Ju Zi tried her best to hide her intention to recruit him, and advised, "Mingdetang is just a research institute. You won't have much power here."
"But, after entering the Imperial City and being appreciated by the royal family, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely have the opportunity to be second to none in the future."
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Senior Orange, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. I think it is better to have less dealings with the royal family."
Ke Ke agreed, "Yeah, Juzi, think about it, even a rude guy like Wang Shaojie is a member of the royal family. And those princes are not simple either, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or..."
As she spoke, a playful expression appeared on her face.
Juzi's face changed, and she quickly interrupted her: "Keke, you must not be rude to the princes."
Ke Ke looked at Ju Zi aggrievedly: "There are no outsiders here now, and all the people in Mingdu know about it. What's wrong with me telling you?"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and asked, “Senior Sister Keke, what happened to the Crown Prince? I don’t know the anecdotes of the other princes. Can you tell me about them?”
Ke Ke was surprised and asked, "You don't know?"
"I don't know."
"Then let me tell you about the princes. Let's start with the eldest prince, the Crown Prince."
Ke Ke started gossiping, "Our Crown Prince is really extraordinary."
"How unusual is it?"
“He is a disabled person.”
"what?"
"It's true. Both legs are gone."
"why?"
"I heard that it was caused by the conspiracy of the Second Prince a few years ago, but afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince retaliated against the Second Prince with thunderous means."
"Then is it still appropriate to pass the crown prince position to the eldest prince?"
"Yes, I heard that because of his disability, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince have long been dissatisfied with his position as Crown Prince."
"so……"
Hearing Ke Ke telling Huo Yuhao the news about the princes so openly, Ju Zi did not say anything to stop her, but her expression was cold.
The struggle between the princes was no secret, and Xu Tianran's disability was known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who stopped a commoner on the streets would know about it. There was nothing to hide.
As the Crown Prince's person, she would not think of shutting up the people.
As long as no one knows the secret of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his position as Crown Prince will always be stable.
"A prince in a wheelchair?"
Huo Yuhao listened to Ke Ke telling news about several princes, and was particularly interested in the disabled Crown Prince.
He recalled a president of a certain country in his previous life, who was also a top leader in a wheelchair.
Although the image of a disabled leader will reduce his prestige to a certain extent, if used properly, it can win the love of the people.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the science briefing."
……
After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao lay down on the bed and said with emotion: "Alas... This is the real royal family, this is the struggle between princes."
The struggle between the Sun and Moon royal families is much simpler than the battle for the throne among the nine princes, but also more cruel.
Less strategy, more blood.
"Xu Tianran..."
Huo Yuhao murmured the name repeatedly.
Ke Ke told him that the Crown Prince in a wheelchair was a gentle prince, but his methods were the most extraordinary.
Tian Meng's voice rang out: "Yuhao, is your ideal really to lead that technological revolution?"
Huo Yuhao answered casually: "I have many ideals, this is just one of them."
"Unfortunately, I have a pessimistic feeling. Due to the difference in rules, the successful experience in another world seems to be met with unprecedented resistance in this world."
