Chapter 261

Two months remain until the ‘World Summoning Beast All-Star Tournament.’ During these two months, Su Hao plans to collect as much information as possible about the competition.

For instance, the current status of past champions, the identities of the organizers’ special guests, the competition procedures, how to access the highest level view, and opportunities to interact with them.

He wants to plan for the upcoming actions to ensure he doesn’t end up empty-handed. Yashan, on the other hand, lacks interest in the Summoner Tournament. He prefers spending time playing games at an internet cafe.

Of course, gaming is just one way for him to explore this world, not something akin to ‘internet addiction.’ His focus is more on how to destroy the ‘Summoned Beast Resistance Association.’

After Su Hao assigns him homework, Yashan takes it seriously, researching how to systematically break down a target and address each aspect.

For example, Yashan has already subdivided the overarching goal of ‘destroying the Summoned Beast Resistance Association’:

1. Physical destruction of resistors.

2. Destruction of resistors’ pursuit targets.

3. Destruction of the resistors’ survival foundation.

Then, he further divides the first point, ‘physical destruction.’ Yashan breaks it down into three parts:

1. Establish a world-class anti-trafficking organization to specifically apprehend ‘resistors’ associated with the traffickers’ association.

2. Use extremely brutal methods to execute captured traffickers, publicize it online as a deterrent, and internally destabilize resistors.

3. Pose as ‘resistors,’ acting in their name to cause trouble among world-class nobles, fueling their hatred and leveraging the power of major nobles for personal gain.

Yashan continues to cascade down in a hierarchical manner, creating a detailed tree structure of tasks.

Finally, he presents the densely packed tree structure to Su Hao. Seeing it, Su Hao is astonished by Yashan’s elaborate planning.

After a thorough check and pointing out some issues, Su Hao praises Yashan, “Not bad, Jingyi! It seems your insight has improved since becoming a ‘Prophet.’ Now, calling you a genius feels almost unfair!”

Ecstatic with approval, Yashan laughs, “All thanks to Boss Jizhong’s teachings. So, is my plan feasible?”

Su Hao smiles, “Certainly! And it’s highly feasible. By doing this, you’ll definitely provoke the resistors. They won’t need to find you; the core members will come to you voluntarily.”

Yashan says, “Haha! Boss Jizhong is right!”

Su Hao advises, “However, when you encounter core members, don’t rush to kill them. Knock them out and bring them back to me. I have a way to uproot their organization from behind.”

Yashan nods eagerly, eager to go out and take action immediately.

Su Hao thinks for a moment, “Your current strength is sufficient, but the city is vast. To pinpoint traffickers accurately, let’s upgrade your ‘Steel Armor King.’ Add a ‘Suspicious Trafficker Search Program.'”

Curious, Yashan asks, “How do I add it? Is it like downloading a game?”

Su Hao says, “It’s more or less the same. First, let’s implant the ‘Life Detection’ skill of the ‘Tracker,’ then train the automatic identification ability of human traffickers. With time, the efficiency of your searches will increase.”

Yashan scratches his head, “Distinguishing human traffickers is indeed troublesome; they blend in with the crowd, making it impossible to differentiate.”

Su Hao explains, “After adding the ‘Life Detection’ skill, you just need to train that skill to distinguish the differences in reactions between children and adults, as well as the unusual reactions in the sleep and unconscious states of children. From my understanding, resistors usually incapacitate children to prevent any commotion. As long as you can do this, the difficulty of finding traffickers at night will significantly decrease.”

Yashan brightens up, “It’s indeed a good method! Boss Jizhong, please add the ‘Life Detection’ skill for me now! What do I need to do?”

Back in the familiar experimental phase, Su Hao smiles, “You don’t need to do anything; just let me administer some injections. Hmm… it might take a few stages, but there shouldn’t be any major issues.”

Yashan happily agrees, “Okay, Boss Jizhong.”

In the following time, Su Hao and Yashan are both busy with their respective tasks.

When a person has a goal, their proactive abilities are unimaginable.

Su Hao, eager to acquire more knowledge, extensively searches for information on summoning beast custody centers online. His aim is to find scattered technical segments, revealing even the top-level management of the summoning beast custody centers and their family backgrounds.

During this period, Su Hao doesn’t solely rely on summoning beast custody centers for knowledge. He continuously learns and experiments on his own. He even attempts to use nearly a thousand basic runes to construct summoning programs, a ‘Rune Summoning Array.’ If successful, summoning might not necessarily require corresponding summoning talents.

In the same timeframe, Su Hao investigates the ‘commonalities’ in spatial manipulation. Through extensive calculations and comparisons, he gains some insight. This further confirms that the key to short-distance teleportation is related to the ‘commonalities’ in constructing two spatial regions.

The current challenge is to identify which ‘commonalities’ are prerequisites and how to construct spatial ‘commonalities.’

To understand this, besides numerous experiments, it also requires a bit of luck. Otherwise, one might spend their entire life without uncovering the secrets.

Additionally, Su Hao takes time to design a ‘Life Detection’ gene sequence for Yashan, conducting various experiments.

If successful, it means that individuals with the 【Shell People】 sequence, the sequence of mutants, can also possess specific abilities of other sequences.

However, this experimentation involves significant risks. In the previous life, Su Hao conducted similar experiments, but the success rate was not high.

Yashan starts learning video shooting, editing, and cybersecurity knowledge, spending his days devouring books like “xxx From Beginner to Master.” Of course, he doesn’t shy away from titles like “Top 10 Tortures,” “A Thousand Methods of Physical Torment,” and “The Secrets of Brutal Confessions.”

For Yashan, this is a true starting-from-scratch experience. Despite having the intelligent brain of a 【Prophet】, he encounters significant difficulties due to a lack of foundation.

He constantly seeks guidance from Su Hao, prompting Su Hao to eventually pay for one-on-one photography and programming tutoring for Yashan.

As for why he enrolled in photography classes?

Yashan insists that if he’s going to do it, he wants to excel. Who says anti-trafficking videos can’t achieve the cool effects seen in short films?

The tutoring shows significant results. Yashan buys a camera, shoots various materials, edits them skillfully, and thoroughly enjoys the process.

His most significant progress lies in his cybersecurity skills. With hands-on guidance from the teacher, he hacks into a few small websites, opening up a new world for Yashan.

Meanwhile, the concept of the ‘Resistor Butcher’ is gradually taking shape in Yashan’s mind. He seems capable of using his expertise in network technology to form an organization specifically designed to counter human traffickers.

Strangers to each other, never meeting in person, they communicate solely through online aliases, sharing information and even posting bounty tasks to accomplish things they find inconvenient to do themselves.

Yashan can leverage the collective power of these individuals to gather more information about the ‘resistors.’

Recognizing that destroying the ‘resistors’ solely with his own strength is an almost impossible task, Yashan is well aware of this fact. As Boss Wei once told him, “Anger and impulsiveness can’t solve most problems, but knowledge can. With enough knowledge, you will be unstoppable.”

Yashan strongly agrees with this sentiment.

Through this period of learning, combined with the talents of a 【Prophet】, he finally experiences the joy of learning, closely following in Boss Wei’s footsteps.

Time swiftly passes as the two engage in their studies and busy routines.

School is now on summer vacation, a time of celebration for all the kids.

This also signifies that the ‘World Summoner All-Star Tournament’ is about to begin.

    Chapter 261

    There were still two months until the World Summoner All-Star Championship.

    During that time, Su Hao intended to gather every piece of useful information he could about the tournament. He wanted to know the current situation of previous champions, the identities of the distinguished guests invited by the organizers, the tournament format, how to gain access to the highest-level viewing areas, and, most importantly, how to come into contact with the people who truly mattered.

    Everything had to be planned in advance.

    He wasn't entering the competition for fame alone. He intended to use the tournament as a stepping stone to reach the world's highest circles. If he failed to prepare thoroughly beforehand, even winning the championship might not help him achieve his real objective.

    Meanwhile, Yashan had almost no interest in the tournament.

    Whenever he had free time, he went to the internet café to play games.

    Of course, gaming was only a way for him to relax and become familiar with the world's technology. His true focus had never changed.

    He still wanted to destroy the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    Ever since Su Hao had assigned him that "homework," Yashan had approached it with complete seriousness. Rather than blindly thinking about killing enemies, he had begun learning to dismantle a massive objective into smaller, manageable problems.

    The ultimate goal was simple:

    Destroy the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    He first divided it into three major objectives.

    The first was to physically eliminate the members of the organization.

    The second was to destroy everything the organization sought to obtain.

    The third was to destroy the foundation that allowed the organization to continue existing.

    He then continued breaking down the first objective.

    How could the members themselves be eliminated?

    After days of thinking, he came up with three approaches.

    First, establish a worldwide anti-trafficking organization dedicated to hunting down members of the Resistance Association involved in child abductions.

    Second, publicly execute captured traffickers using the harshest methods possible, then spread recordings of those executions online to intimidate the organization and weaken its morale.

    Third, disguise themselves as members of the Resistance Association, commit crimes under their name, provoke powerful noble families, and redirect those families' anger toward the Resistance Association.

    From there, each objective was divided again and again.

    Every problem became several smaller problems.

    Every smaller problem became a series of practical tasks.

    Eventually, the entire plan became an enormous branching diagram that covered several large sheets of paper.

    When Yashan proudly handed the completed plan to Su Hao, even Su Hao was surprised.

    He carefully read through every branch, corrected several flaws, added a few suggestions, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

    "Not bad, Jingyi. Becoming a Prophet really has sharpened your thinking. Calling you a genius now almost feels like an understatement."

    Receiving praise from Boss Wei made Yashan grin from ear to ear.

    "It's all because of your teaching, Boss Jingzhong! Then... does that mean my plan will work?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "It won't just work—it has a very high chance of succeeding."

    "If you carry this out properly, you won't need to search for the Resistance Association."

    "They'll come looking for you on their own."

    Yashan burst into laughter.

    "Hahaha! Just as expected of Boss Jingzhong!"

    After laughing for a while, Su Hao's expression became serious.

    "But remember one thing."

    "If you encounter ordinary members, do whatever you think is appropriate."

    "But if you run into core members..."

    "Don't kill them."

    "Capture them alive and bring them back."

    "I have ways to trace them back to their headquarters."

    Yashan nodded immediately.

    "Understood!"

    After thinking for a moment, Su Hao continued, "Your combat strength is already more than enough, but cities are enormous. Simply searching for traffickers one street at a time isn't efficient."

    "So I'm going to upgrade your Steel Armor King."

    "We'll add a new function—a Suspicious Trafficker Detection Program."

    Yashan blinked.

    "Install a program?"

    "Like downloading a game?"

    Su Hao chuckled.

    "Something like that."

    "First, I'll implant the Life Detection genetic sequence."

    "Then you'll train that ability until it can distinguish suspicious biological responses."

    "The more data you accumulate, the more accurate your judgment will become."

    Yashan scratched his head.

    "But traffickers look exactly like ordinary people."

    "How can I tell them apart?"

    Su Hao explained patiently.

    "Life Detection isn't looking at appearance."

    "It observes biological activity."

    "You'll train it to distinguish the differences between adults and children."

    "It can also tell the difference between natural sleep and unconsciousness."

    "From everything I've observed, Resistance Association members usually drug kidnapped children so they won't make any noise."

    "If you can detect unconscious children during nighttime patrols, your search efficiency will increase dramatically."

    Yashan's eyes immediately lit up.

    "That's brilliant!"

    "Boss Jingzhong, let's install it now!"

    "What do I need to do?"

    "You don't need to do anything," Su Hao replied with a smile. "Just lie down."

    "I'll give you a few injections."

    "It'll probably take several stages of treatment, but there shouldn't be any major problems."

    Yashan immediately lay down without hesitation.

    "No problem, Boss Jingzhong!"

    From then on, both of them became completely immersed in their respective work.

    When someone truly has a goal, their initiative could become astonishing.

    Su Hao devoted himself to investigating the Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau.

    He searched through countless online archives, collected fragmented reports, traced the backgrounds of senior executives, mapped the relationships between the Ten Ancient Families, and preserved every seemingly insignificant clue. Even information that appeared useless at first glance might become the missing piece of a puzzle later.

    Naturally, he wasn't relying solely on existing knowledge.

    His own research never stopped.

    Using nearly a thousand basic runes, he began constructing what he called a Rune Summoning Array.

    If the project succeeded, summoning beasts might no longer require an innate summoner's talent.

    Anyone who understood the runic principles could potentially perform summoning.

    At the same time, his research into spatial commonality continued.

    After countless calculations and experiments, he became increasingly convinced that the secret behind short-range teleportation lay in the shared spatial characteristics between two locations.

    The remaining questions were straightforward in theory but extraordinarily difficult in practice.

    Which shared characteristics were truly essential?

    And how could those characteristics be artificially created?

    Finding those answers would require an enormous number of experiments...

    ...and perhaps a little luck.

    Without that stroke of luck, someone could spend an entire lifetime searching without ever discovering the truth.

    Besides his own research, Su Hao also continued improving Yashan.

    He designed a Life Detection genetic sequence specifically for him and began conducting implantation experiments.

    This wasn't without risk.

    In previous lives, Su Hao had attempted similar cross-sequence integrations many times.

    The success rate had never been particularly high.

    If this experiment succeeded, however, it would prove that members of the Shell People evolutionary sequence could also possess specialized abilities belonging to entirely different evolutionary paths.

    Yashan was just as busy.

    He buried himself in books on photography, video editing, programming, and cybersecurity.

    Books like Photography from Beginner to Master.

    Programming from Beginner to Master.

    Network Security Essentials.

    At the same time, he enthusiastically read titles such as Top Ten Torture Methods, One Thousand Physical Punishments, and Secrets of Brutal Interrogation.

    For him, everything began from zero.

    Although the Prophet sequence gave him extraordinary intelligence, he still lacked basic knowledge.

    Whenever he encountered something he couldn't understand, he immediately sought Su Hao's guidance.

    Eventually, Su Hao simply hired private tutors to teach him photography and programming.

    As for why photography?

    Yashan had his own logic.

    "If I'm going to make anti-trafficking videos..."

    "They should look as cool as blockbuster action movies."

    The results were surprisingly good.

    Before long, Yashan had bought a professional camera, filmed material everywhere he went, learned editing software with remarkable speed, and found genuine enjoyment in the process.

    His greatest progress, however, came in cybersecurity.

    Under the guidance of his instructor, he successfully hacked several small websites.

    A completely new world opened before him.

    Gradually, an idea began taking shape in his mind.

    He would create an online organization dedicated to hunting traffickers.

    Its members would never meet each other in person.

    Everyone would use aliases.

    They would exchange intelligence, publish bounty missions, share information, and cooperate remotely.

    By combining the strength of many people, they could gather information on the Resistance Association far more efficiently than any individual ever could.

    Yashan fully understood one thing now.

    Trying to destroy the Resistance Association through brute force alone was almost impossible.

    Boss Wei had once told him:

    "Anger and impulse solve very few problems."

    "Knowledge does."

    "Acquire enough knowledge..."

    "...and you'll become unstoppable."

    Yashan firmly believed those words.

    As the days quietly passed, the two continued studying, researching, experimenting, and steadily advancing toward their own goals.

    Before they realized it, summer vacation arrived.

    For ordinary children, it was the happiest time of the year.

    For Su Hao...

    It meant the World Summoner All-Star Championship was finally about to begin.

    Where is the news of emerging genius? Like appearing in Frontline News "Nine years old Advance Summoner"...

    And also doing it individual to eradicate the resistors seems bad idea he should build an organization for common interests similar to the previous world.
