Listening to Gu Mo's continuous praises, the Second Miss's brows did not relax.

This person is not unaware of Mino's advantages, but sees things very clearly. If so, why does he still seem so indifferent... She frowned, suddenly recalling something—yes, it is said that this person has come from across the sea.

She took a deep look at the person pointing and commanding, recalling what her father had mentioned once before. Back then, she didn't think much of it, but now it seems to be absolutely true.

Crossing the sea... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

With mysterious origins...

But definitely noble beyond words.

Moreover, during the time managing Lushan City, his great talent was evident, showcasing an astute political acumen, silently smoothing the factions there. According to her father, such a person is not meant to remain restrained in just Japan...

It's even possible that not long ago when he left under some pretext, he was actually going to contact his own forces. After all, such a noble person, even if forced to flee overseas after failing in the power struggle at the Celestial Dynasty, would still have loyal forces following him.

Recalling the words her father had spoken to her not too long ago, though mainly speculative, they came from the heart— the experience and wisdom of an elder engaged in commerce and politics for half a lifetime. The Second Miss couldn't help but sigh lightly and subconsciously glanced at the black-haired girl on the other side.

Her sister too...

Perhaps she is indeed very lucky.

In such an era, being born a woman, no matter how extraordinary, seemingly cannot avoid facing certain issues that cannot be evaded. Naturally, the Second Miss had thought about it, often feeling confused about the future, with an understandable sense of dissatisfaction, followed by helplessness and discouragement.

Her sword could slay any enemy, regardless of how powerful the Demon Ghost, or how gallant and adept the enemy general was, none could be her match.

She had such confidence, but only... when it came to the future, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Hidechika seemed to sense something, looking toward her sister. Though not fully understanding the complexity in the Second Miss's eyes, she still gave a faint smile. She hadn't thought too much about it, nor felt that these chaotic matters had anything to do with her; she was simply content to go with the flow.

The Second Miss, observing her sister's gentle and faint smile, couldn't help but purse her lips.

And at this moment, Gu Mo also stopped his eloquent talk, thinking carefully, he realized the geography of Nongzhou was indeed excellent. Establishing a dimensional sub-base here would be the best — what he told Saito Dosan before was not merely bluffing.

He truly had such ideas.

A mirror space-time line located in the sixteenth century, the world was amidst the era of great geographical discoveries and colonial ambitions, gunpowder was emerging, and the mystical darkness had not completely faded, entirely representing a backward and feudal ancient world... The glorious planet Earth had almost not been developed at all.

Furthermore, there was no need for the many constraints found in the real world, and coupled with the asynchronous time flow, if given free rein, the construction progress of this world could proceed rapidly, likely soon surpassing the real world...

Although the price would be venturing into a bizarre and peculiar future.

It might end up developing into an anomalous zone-like strange space-time.

"In a few days, I will figure out a way to bring over a batch... well, a batch of people to help. By that time, you may also need to step in." Gu Mo made up his mind, preparing to send aid materials from the Lunar Base to accelerate the construction progress in this world.

After all, both sides were his assets, essentially the left hand helping the right hand, with the early investment made in anticipation of better reciprocity later. The production and industry at the Lunar Base far exceeded that of the real world, serving as robust external support.

Exactly, that's the plan!

The resources from this dimension would be transported back to support the continued expansion of the Lunar Base, setting the foundation for the Moon Ring City to engulf the entire Moon. Various products produced by the Lunar Base could be injected into this dimension, thus forming a virtuous cycle, and within this cycle, enhancing the construction progress here.

"I understand… is there anything you need me to do?"

The Second Miss nodded, deeply burying the brilliance that flashed through her eyes in her heart.

Indeed, just as her father had said, this person indeed has a force loyal to him in secret and is now preparing to act… this really is something to look forward to; looking forward to where Nongzhou will head, and what kind of tumultuous upheavals the Warring States will witness.

...

...

Owari Country.

Qingzhou City.

As a prominent feudal lord force directly bordering Mino through the Nongwei Plain, the Oda Family naturally received the information first, much faster than any other nations.

"Mino has changed hands, and it's actually an unknown person… Lord Dao San is truly generous."

In the exquisitely scenic courtyard, Oda Nobunaga put down the iron cannon in his hand, the target opposite was slightly tilted, and near the center, there was a hole — the mark left by a bullet he had just fired. The man casually passed the musket to the side, and someone immediately accepted it respectfully.

He took the latest intelligence report and examined it carefully, slightly furrowing his brow:

"It's actually been declared, so it must not be mere theatrics. But what qualifies this person to assume control of Mino... Hmm, Gu Mo, this name seems somewhat familiar."

"Lord Nobunaga, a few days ago, Miss Ah Shi secretly asked us to gather information, and it was this name she mentioned..."

The person in front respectfully replied.

"Ah Shi..."

This reminder made the man recall that just a few days ago, his sister was secretly trying to have someone gather information about a name, which seemed to be this person. However, she hadn't considered that such matters could never be hidden from him, the Patriarch.

Oda Nobunaga knew almost immediately, but he said nothing, unsure of what his sister intended to do, and merely observed calmly.

But now…

Glancing at the intelligence report in his hand and at the matching name, Oda Nobunaga suddenly felt puzzled. Why would Ah Shi know this man?

(PS: Another case has arisen here, and I was once again called for a nucleic acid test these days. Last night, I braved the heavy rain to queue, and today I was scheduled in the afternoon, and I'm just now getting back… Sorry about this, being late means waiting at least two to three hours, with people constantly cutting in line ahead, barely moving forward, leaving me physically and mentally exhausted (￣_￣|||)_
