Master of Science and Technology - Chapter 64

Even with the help of technology, a successful journey, and the upper hand in the Realm, Ye Zan was still aware of the fact that mechanical devices were not all-powerful. Regardless of how modern or developed his technology was, it was still unable to become omnipotent in this word.

There were a lot of unknowns in this world for Ye Zan; things modern technology could not even interpret. Under these circumstances, Ye Zan could only increase his wariness and alertness in terms of the future. This was the only way he could survive.

Haring Ye Zan’s requests, Zhou Ming suddenly laughed. He probably thought that he had an asset now, saying: “That’s right. Only I can open this Hundred Treasure Space. You’re too afraid to bring it out. So you can only beg for me to open it for you. But do you think that I’m stupid enough to do that? We can just stay as we are. I’d like to see how much time you have to waste here.”

The boundaries of this Realm would change in a couple of days. After that, it would take ten years for them to open again. It was because of this that Zhou Ming thought, no matter how much torment he endured, as long as he held on, there was an opportunity for survival.

“You are only so confident because you don’t understand me. This isn’t your fault. But, if you want a demonstration, I can educate you.” Ye Zan was like an antagonist; never moving to anger, only raising his lips in a cold smirk.

After this, Ye Zan opened a prepared suitcase. He had long predicted that Zhou Ming would not be easy to work with and had prepared a set of torturing tools. Although there was little bloodshed, Zhou Ming’s cries were unending in the time after; turning from a high shriek to a low croak.

The torturing tools of the modern world were far more developed than any simple techniques. Using drugs, they increased sensitivity in the body and created shocks directly towards the nerves, even directly targeting the pain reception systems of the brain. This process was not bloody but required great will to resist.

And if Zhou Ming had a strong will, he wouldn’t have gone mad in this Realm, and wouldn’t have been the person he was today. Right now, Zhou Ming only wanted to faint. But how could Ye Zan let him do so? And how could modern technology not have processed this point? 

Finally, Ye Zan stopped, holding only a random branch. And Zhou Ming, looking at the branch in Ye Zan’s hands, had eyes full of terror, his sweat drenching his clothes, and his body still uncontrollably spasming.

“Actually, I could let you be mute. Did you know that screaming is actually a way for pain-relief in humans? Letting you scream was only to let you suffer a little less when fulfilling my needs. But, now it seems that you have some backbone. So, I guess we’ll just have to….” Ye Zan raised the branch in his hands as he spoke.

Before Ye Zan could finish, Zhou Ming had finally surrendered, rushingly shouting: “Wait, I’ll give it to you. I’ll give it all to you. I’ll do whatever you say!”

In Zhou Ming’s eyes, Ye Zan was more terrifying than a demonic cultivator. He had just gone through what seemed like h*ll. He did not want to experience that again. Furthermore, hearing Ye Zan’s words, it seemed like he would not let him sound out this time. Even if he wasn’t sure if what he said was true, he was still unwilling to test it. 

“Could you let me go so I can take the Hundred Treasure Space out?” Zhou Ming said with a shaky voice.

Ye Zan chuckled, poking Zhou Ming with the branch, saying: “It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson yet.”

“No, no, no,” Zhou Ming hurriedly shook his head, scooting his body away from Ye Zan. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get far.

Reaching through the web, Ye Zan took the Hundred Treasure Space out of Zhou Ming’s arms. He then proceeded to take out one of Zhou Ming’s hands, poking it through the web’s opening. Stuffing the Hundred Treasure Space into his hand, he said: “There should be no problem now. Take everything out. If you have some other, selfish thoughts…well you can try.”

“No, no I don’t dare,” Zhou Ming was really unwilling to have any other motives. Forming his hands into the opening spell, he opened the Hundred Treasure Space; the objects inside flowing out.

There were all sorts of spiritual grasses. Unfortunately, they were dried and could only be used for pill making, and were unfit for plating. There were also some Beast Cores. Sadly, they were not of high quality. He could tell that Zhou Ming was not as powerful in this Realm as he had bragged of. Apart from the resources taken from within the Closed Realm, there were also some texts: a sword technique book, a spell technique book, and a spiritual cultivation book.

“Nothing left?” Ye Zan took a look at what was on the ground.
“No- Nothing left.” Zhou Ming nodded in terror.

Unfortunately, Ye Zan wasn’t joking with him when he said that the modern technological world had a lot of research done on lie detection. Not even mentioning the special machines that could be used, even the naked eye could be trained in detecting expressions, allowing one to be able to detect lies based on the slightest changes in facial expressions.

But Ye Zan had an artificial intelligence assistance chip with information on facial detection inside. He could tell from Zhou Ming’s face that he was not being honest. Thus, without a second word, he took out a needle and jabbed it into Zhou Ming’s body, inserting the fluid under his terrorized stare.

“Wait a second. I haven’t finished. I haven’t finished!” Zhou Ming hurriedly said.

Ye Zan didn’t speak, but stopped, calmly looking at Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming didn’t dare stall, continuing to cart out the things in the Hundred Treasure Space. This time, he was bringing out what he had stolen from the Jin Guang, Wu Zhu, and Qing Yue Sword Sects. These things were not high in value, as Ye Zan had long taken all the high-quality objects.

Finally, everything had been taken out.

Ye Zan could tell from Zhou Ming’s face that he was not lying, saying: “Wouldn’t it have been nice if you had been like this from the beginning? You would have suffered a lot less. What was the point? Alright, enough chatter. Time to send you on your way.”

Ye Zan was not moved in the slightest by these things, not having the slightest pity for Zhou Ming. After all, in moving before him, Zhou Ming could have no other fate but death.

“No, wait a second. I can be a responder for Yu Qing Sect. I can turn this Closed Realm into Yu Qing’s private Realm.” Zhou Ming hurriedly said. This reason would be appealing if heard by any other people.

Unfortunately, Ye Zan was not moved by Zhou Ming’s words. What a joke. He had already prepared two clones, all sorts of technology, and even a fortress. He had even prepared a long-term plan. What uses did he have for Zhou Ming?

“You said this to the Wu Zhu Sect back then, right. But, sadly, I have no use for you.” After saying this, Ye Zan swiped his electric sword at Zhou Ming’s head without an ounce of hesitation. With a crack, Zhou Ming began spewing blood, his head filling with smoke, and his body losing breath.
