Chapter 962

(Unedited)

…

A handsome middle-aged face with that gentle smile seems to merge with the young and handsome face. She could not put her mind into it and could not even believe that such a coincidence is true. It has been a long time since that guy Shin Jiao left and she has not seen him ever since she returns to the capital.

Since the group is preparing to enter the capital, she knew that they have a lot of things to do and when she left; she could tell that their preparation is only half done.

Gwendolyn is a bit absent-minded and one of her sisters saw her looking at the handsome young man with the king.

"Sister… you already have a fiancée; don\'t tell me that you fancy that guy?"

Gwendolyn was a bit taken aback but did not say anything. She just flashed a faint smile towards her sister and took a quick glance at Shin Jiao.

She saw him talking to the king casually as if they are equal, so this made her feel a bit of suspicion. Suddenly, she recalled something that has happened in the capital these past few days. It was about the noble houses hunting a young man.

But then those noble houses suffered such a huge defeat in his hands and are now afraid of him.

With that thinking, she slowly turns her head and looks at the young man again but now has an incredulous expression on her face.

"How could father entertain such a man in the palace? If those haughty noble houses learned of this, would this be creating more trouble for our royal family then?" she thought as she tries to analyze what the king is thinking.

…

Meanwhile, the king and Shin Jiao began discussing the virtual helmet. Gulliver, who is on the side, just listens to their discussion with his face changing every now and then.

"Will the Mystique Shop be selling those types of helmets soon?" the king asked as he took a sip of the tea.

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face.

What he gave the king is advanced technology; this type of technology is something that is hard to copy as it uses the beguiling stone, a stone that no one dares to touch in this world.

However, he is still researching a way to connect two or more beguiling stones without strengthening their powers and affecting the real world. The danger of a beguiling stone lays in being able to affect the outside world once they are grouped together.

So he has to seal the stone inside a box and create an array system program that would make the user feel the things that the programmer wanted them to feel. In the view of what Shin Jiao gave the king, it is an adventurous battle against giant creatures.

Though it is a dream, the beguiling stone is known for killing those that enter its influence. Every pain inflicted in the dream could be felt like it is real by those inside its influence.

Hence, it also poses danger to those who use it. But of course, Shin Jiao has already controlled it to produce around 15% of the pain to simulate a slight feeling of realism.

Now the problem is connectivity with other virtual helmets.

In Shin Jiao\'s experiments, once two or more helmets are connected, then the effect of the beguiling stone would actually exit the confine of the array as it travels wirelessly in the air.

As Shin Jiao explains things, the king and Gulliver also began to think. Gulliver, who is always outside in the world facing many dangers, suddenly suggested something.

"I have encountered in my travels a beast that could communicate with its underlings through intricate roots inside the dungeon. The creatures adapted to this because mages can actually intercept their communication using spells. So instead they would use the roots of the plants in the dungeon."

"So you mean we would use plants as a way to connect two or more helmets?" the king asked with interest.

"Hmm… I think the prince has a good idea. Although it would be more troublesome than using wireless connectivity, it is the best way to protect others from the influence of the beguiling stone. Imagine if someone in the vicinity would suddenly enter the virtual world and experience 100% of the pain it would be a good experience. But I\'m sure they would lose their minds once they have woken up. Haha…" Shin Jiao chuckled.

The king nodded his head.

"Well, I think it is truly feasible. I will start with this plan, and then expect that before the entry of the Mystique Shop in the capital, I will be able to finish this project… But, we will be starting to put up poles in the capital city just like in Zepa City and other villages under the influence of Mystique shop. Would that be fine, your majesty?" Shin Jiao said.

"Umm… I have already heard that those things provide something called electricity to the whole city or village and have cause their nights to brighten up. If it is that miraculous, then why not." The king said.

Mana power generator is very efficient in producing mana energy which in turn could power the light bulbs, radios, and etc. The people will not need to buy mana batteries anymore which is more convenient for them.

The king is already aware of this and upon hearing that those poles would be erected in the capital, he could not agree more.

"Hehe… Mr. Ji… Why not we do this… I will provide you with the materials and the manpower to erect those towers in the entire capital city... As I\'ve heard, those are also used in mana-generated power, right? We can have cooperation and I will just ask for a 10% share." The king said with a smile.

"Hmm… The materials alone are not cheap my king. We would create two types of wires, one is for the mana energy, and the other one is for the network. Would the royal family be able to afford such huge expenses?" Shin Jiao asked with squinted eyes.

"Haha… Do not worry, how much are we talking about? Millions of gold? No problem…" the king said with a chuckle.

Even if it caused billions of gold, the royal family could afford such a thing. This is because; the king has a hidden treasury that has been accumulated for many centuries by the ruling kings of the land of both light and dark followers. That money is not spent because of the lack of improvement and reason to spend it.

But since now there is a chance to use it for the good of the people, why would he not use it. If this plan is successful, he would be known as the king who revolutionizes the kingdom and his name would be immortalized in the annals of history.

This has already made King Grav excited.

Shin Jiao thought that this king is someone who could see potential in things. He even knows the word \'share\' in business jargon. He was a bit surprised, but also glad to take this chance to get materials and manpower this way, he can concentrate more on creating. 

On the side, Gulliver Astride is showing a hint of amazement in his eyes. Though he did not know what the real effect of that thing is called virtual helmet is, but from what his foster father is telling, it is something amazing.

But the curiosity in his heart could not be contained as he lowers his head and then suddenly strengthen his resolve.

"My king… can… can this lowly one ask…"

"Yes…"

"The virtual helmet?…" Gulliver said with a hint of reluctance.

When the king heard this, his eyes showed understanding. He waves his hand and called a servant. The servant was then followed by a special guard of the king as they enter the palace.

After 20 minutes, they arrive with a box in tow.

The servant carefully puts the box on the table and Gulliver looks at it with curiosity. The king wanted to tease this son of his, but seeing that curious gaze, he could not help but laugh.

"Alright, open the box and put the helmet on. Choose 5 minutes, that is enough time for you to experience this thing…" the king said.

Gulliver carefully opens the box and saw a metallic helmet that looks fancy.

When he lifted it up, he was amazed at how light it is. Though it looks metallic it seems that the material used is actually not made of metal.

As he puts it on, he heard a voice and followed its command.

5 minutes later…

Gulliver removes the helmet with a sense of excitement in his eyes. He has experienced a lot of things in the outside world, things that have always threatened his life. There are a few techniques that he has not used in actual battle as it poses danger to himself and to his teammates.

But in that world, he could fight freely. He could even feel that his understanding of his fighting style has improved in that short span of 5 minutes.

"Father… this… this thing…" Gulliver said with an excited expression forgetting even to address the king properly.

With a big smile on his face, the king knew that with this, a new era would now open in his kingdom.
