331 Dark Ancestry (2/2)

He couldn't control the surge of emotions inside him as he pondered. He began to have his own guesses about the blood-colored mist. However, everything was mere conjecture at this point. Wang Baole himself was unsure of his own conclusions.

The thought of the blood-colored mist reminded Wang Baole of Lin Tianhao. Even though he had spoken to various people and had received occasional news, the blood-colored mist was too bizarre a phenomenon. He couldn't help but be concerned for Lin Tianhao…

Wang Baole immediately pulled out his voice transmission ring. After a moment of thought, he decided to send a transmission to Li Wan'er. He coughed when Li Wan'er's cold voice rang out from the voice transmission ring.

”Minister Li, I'm Wang Baole. Erm… it has been more than a month since my subordinate, Lin Tianhao, was taken away by the military. I still haven't managed to establish contact with him…” Wang Baole paused at this point and didn't continue.

Li Wan'er was silent for a moment. Then, she spoke coolly.

”The other teams have all returned. Lin Tianhao's team sent a voice transmission two days ago reporting that everything was in order. They will be returning to base soon.” Li Wan'er ended the transmission after that.

Wang Baole didn't give too much thought to Li Wan'er's attitude. She had offered him an answer which eased the worry in Wang Baole's heart. He continued studying his Dark Fire. Then, suddenly, he smacked his thigh. He raised his head and stared at the door to his chamber.

Man… I seem to have forgotten… the donkey! Wang Baole rose to his feet hastily. He swung the doors to his chamber open and immediately saw the donkey sprawled before the entrance. It had slimmed down considerably and had a blank, lost look in its eyes.

The donkey noticed Wang Baole. It was starving and weak. Its eyes shone with resentment, and it seemed to be asking Wang Baole why the ten days Wang Baole had spoken of… seemed so long.

Wang Baole felt slightly sheepish. He immediately removed the restriction on the donkey. As soon as the restriction was stripped away, the donkey, which had its mouth clamped shut for two weeks, finally made a sound.

”Son…”

Its voice sounded weak, and it seemed like it was about to cry. Wang Baole felt slightly guilty. He pulled out a handful of snacks and threw them towards the donkey.

”This will teach you to be on good behavior next time!” Wang Baole coughed after throwing the snacks out. He gave the donkey a few words of scolding and watched as the donkey gobbled up the food like a starving wolf. He couldn't help but soften his stance. He pulled out a few more bags of snacks.

The donkey was overwhelmed by emotion as it saw so many snacks before it. Its eyes brimmed with tears. It looked at Wang Baole with gratitude in its eyes.

”That's right, that's what I call a good donkey!” Wang Baole was pleased with the effect he had gotten from this punishment. In the next four days, he continued to study the Dark Fire and perfect his blueprints for his stronghold. He also started crafting construction puppets. The lesson of having its mouth sealed shut seemed to have been seared deep into the donkey's brain. Despite having regained its energy and vitality, it didn't dare to overstep too much. It was especially meek and obedient when in front of Wang Baole.

This pleased Wang Baole tremendously. He thought that since the donkey was so obedient now, he might consider buying it a beast bag. As he thought about it and was about to make a trip out, he suddenly received an invitation from the military via his voice transmission ring!

The Martian military cordially invited Wang Baole to instruct them in the installation of the Baole Cannon!

The Baole Cannon that Wang Baole had invented received widespread usage in the military on Earth. The Martian military had also been allocated a number of the cannons. However, due to the logistics of transportation as well as constraints on existing resources, the cannons were sent to them in parts and required assembly.

Originally, a consultant would be required to assist and supervise the assembly. This was because Wang Baole had installed encryptions inside the Baole Cannon. He had shared the encryption with the military when he sold it to them, but the encryption remained a top secret inside the military.

However… the original creator of the Baole Cannon, Wang Baole, was on Mars. No consultant could rival Wang Baole's understanding and knowledge of the Baole Cannon. That was why the military had cordially invited Wang Baole to oversee the assembly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Wang Baole accepted the invitation readily. It was true that he was now the dean of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, a well-known personality on Mars, and had a wide social network. However, if he should establish a good, strong relationship with the Martian military, this would further cement his safety on Mars.

With Wang Baole's agreement, the military sent a cruiser to receive him. Wang Baole gave his donkey a look. He didn't feel safe leaving it alone on its own, so he brought the donkey onboard with him, and they raced off towards the Martian military base!
