CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 242: THE SURPRISE BROUGHT BY GAO SI, TOO SHOCKING_1

BRRRING...

Zhang Bin’s phone rang urgently, the sound echoing directly in his mind. He always kept it in his Space Ring, so he rarely needed to take it out. The call was from Gao Si.

As soon as Zhang Bin answered, Gao Si’s image appeared in his mind. His face glowing with excitement, Gao Si said, "Zhang Bin, my brother, my plan has finally succeeded! Today, I’m going to give you an earth-shattering surprise, one that’ll excite you so much you won’t know which way is up!"

"What kind of surprise? What exactly is your plan?" Zhang Bin asked, both surprised and intrigued.

"Hehe... Do you see this thing?" Gao Si laughed proudly, pointing to a strange disk on the ground.

He was in a secret chamber, at the center of which was a metal disk about ten meters in diameter. The disk was at least half a foot thick, its surface carved with countless mysterious, multicolored lines that were far more complex than the Eight Trigrams Diagram.

"I see it. What kind of high-tech device is that?" Zhang Bin asked, puzzled.

"You’ll find out in a moment what this device is," Gao Si chuckled strangely. He inserted his phone into a special socket on the disk and then picked up a delicate, fist-sized device, saying with a grin, "This is called a Spirit Stone Maker. Just feed the Spiritual Energy you’ve gathered into it, and it will rapidly compress it into Spirit Stones."

"A Spirit Stone Maker? That’s great! I need one. Can you give me the technology to make this machine?" Zhang Bin looked on with envy, eager to create his own Spirit Stone Maker. It would make Qi gathering so much more convenient; after all, Spirit Stones were far smaller than Spiritual Water and much easier to store.

"This is true high technology, just like your phone. It’s beyond Earth’s current technological level," Gao Si said seriously. "So, even if I gave you the blueprints and manufacturing techniques, you wouldn’t be able to build one."

Disappointment immediately washed over Zhang Bin’s face. His phone was so advanced that Earth’s technology couldn’t replicate it, even with another ten thousand years of development. It seems I’ll never be able to get a Spirit Stone Maker.

"Hehe..." Seeing Zhang Bin’s disappointment, Gao Si grew even more smug, chuckling strangely. After a moment, he stopped laughing under Zhang Bin’s baffled gaze and said, "Brother, find a secluded spot and take out your phone. It’s time for you to witness a miracle."

Zhang Bin’s heart began to race. He had a feeling a truly enormous surprise was coming today.

He immediately went down to the villa’s underground secret chamber. It had been built for him by Ma Rufei with only one door and no windows. Even the ventilation ducts were tiny and led far away. This was the room he used for secluded cultivation to break through bottlenecks.

Once inside, he shut the door tightly. Only then did he retrieve the phone from his Space Ring.

"Brother, open your eyes and watch carefully," Gao Si said excitedly. He then placed the Spirit Stone Maker in the center of the disk and pressed a special button on it.

WHIRR...

A strange sound hummed through the air as the disk emitted a blinding white light. Then, the Spirit Stone Maker vanished like a ghost.

Almost simultaneously, Zhang Bin’s phone lit up with the same white light. A Spirit Stone Maker suddenly emerged from the void, nearly smashing him in the nose.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Zhang Bin snatched it out of the air. His face was a mask of shock and his mouth hung wide open. He realized that this was the exact same Spirit Stone Maker Gao Si had just shown him. But we’re separated by eighty thousand light-years! How could it suddenly appear here? This is inconceivable... I just can’t understand it.

After a long moment, he regained some of his composure. Staring at the screen where Gao Si was doubled over in laughter, he asked, "Gao Si, did... did you really send this Spirit Stone Maker to me from eighty thousand light-years away? Am I dreaming?"

"Hahaha... How about that? Is that a big enough surprise for you?" Gao Si roared with triumphant laughter.

"This surprise is too big... I can’t believe it. Is this real?" Zhang Bin asked, still stunned.

"Of course, it’s real. This disk is a genuine high-tech artifact—an Interstellar Teleportation Array. In other words, as long as there’s enough energy, items can be teleported between two points anywhere in the Universe, closely connecting intelligent life on different planets," Gao Si explained seriously.

"My God, that’s terrifying! Does that mean you can come here? And I can go to your world?" Zhang Bin asked in awe.

"My brother, it’s not that simple. Anyone who hasn’t reached the Great Tree Realm in their cultivation cannot withstand the pressure of spatial teleportation; they’d be crushed to dust. Furthermore, Space Rings can’t be teleported, as the space inside them would shatter under the effects of the Space Law. Therefore, the Interstellar Teleportation Array can only be used for extremely precious Treasures. The energy consumption is just too immense..." Gao Si clarified.

After listening to Gao Si’s explanation of the Interstellar Teleportation Array, Zhang Bin gained a much clearer understanding of its principles and rules.

As it turned out, Zhang Bin’s phone had a Micro Teleportation Array built into it. It was essentially a receiver, acting as a positioning system that guided Gao Si’s array to send items to his location. However, his phone lacked the ability to send items back. He would have to wait for Gao Si to teleport a complete Teleportation Array to him before he could send back the Spirit Stones Gao Si needed.

As for the energy source, it used Gold. A single teleportation consumed a significant amount of Gold.

That was why Gao Si had previously urged Zhang Bin to work hard and earn money—so he could purchase enough Gold to use as fuel. It would be far too inefficient for Gao Si to teleport an energy source from his side.

For years, Gao Si had been secretly building the Interstellar Teleportation Array as a private project, pouring nearly all his earnings into it. And now, he had finally succeeded.

Even so, Zhang Bin was so excited and overjoyed that he nearly fainted. To Earth, Xuanwu Star was a planet with both high technology and a brilliant cultivation civilization. This meant he could make many deals with Gao Si, obtain many wondrous Treasures, and enhance his own strength and influence.

"Gao Si, since the technology on Xuanwu Star is so advanced, haven’t you ventured out from your world? Have you not discovered other Green Planets?" Zhang Bin asked, affecting a casual tone.

Clearly, he was a little worried about the Xuanwu Star People invading Earth.
