Chapter 2 A Little Bit More

The next morning.

Li Cheng Yi first went to see his sister, only to find her unwell, her entire being listless. Knowing there was no hope, he then visited Marian Xilian, who had been re-hospitalized.

She was in relatively good spirits, but her eyes were dull when looking at things, and she would occasionally pause suddenly, becoming motionless.

Li Cheng Yi worried that forcing the issue might cause her permanent mental illness. For sustainable development, he switched to other targets.

In the morning, he went to a nearby maximum-security prison, and in the afternoon, he rushed to the provincial capital, Nanzhou, to participate in a grand temporary fear magic show. By evening, the degree of evil thought for the Jiemao Feilian Flower God seat reached 87%.

Just a little bit more to completion.

This was a case of compensating for poor quality with quantity, and the efficiency was not bad. As long as he didn't harvest the same targets every day, the occasional session worked well.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao. I, Li Cheng, have some ability to handle things myself.” Fei Yunyi smiled noncommittally, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Yue Qian Tian's smile slowly faded. He put down his wine glass.

“Now that my younger sister's matter is settled, then next, Zhao wants to chat with Mr. Zhao about future matters.” On the top floor of the Nanzhou Xianglong Hotel, in the revolving sky restaurant.

“Money is good as long as it's enough. Has Mr. Zhao ever heard that many technological items in the Dead Zone cannot be used? So money, for us, is only so useful. It's not what we truly need,” Fei Yunyi replied.

“One year! As long as the sect master is willing to share the technical modules of that special modified body, I guarantee that I can make Li Cheng famous worldwide within a year, becoming a top-tier conglomerate second only to Weibang! By then, Li Cheng's directors can rise up and become top domestic capitalists! Making a family's fortune is not just a dream!”

“Just a small token of my appreciation. Mr. Zhao is too kind.” Yue Qian Tian took Fei Yunyi by the hand to the front of the banquet, to a terrace, where they sat down on wooden chairs.

“Sect master, won't you reconsider?” A few minutes later, Sect Master Li picked up his glass and took a light sip.

Otherwise, with Yue Qian Tian's potential, developing a small group within a year was more than possible. It was a deal that would fill his belly and last a lifetime.

Nominally, it was not hosted for Fei Yunyi, but rather an academic banquet to explore the relationship between space and humans. “Understood,” Mu Hua nodded.

In the dimly lit banquet hall, the four walls transformed into scenes of the deep starry sky. A woman in a couple asked softly.

Li Chongnan's Fei Yi (Flying Instrument) talent had been improved, but was firmly locked down by the Li family, unknown to the outside world. Suspended above their heads was a golden sun, burning and releasing light.

He turned around and walked towards the terrace exit.

Now only fourteen years old, he was in his prime, and because he had completed the gene-strengthening injections and various Taoist pills had greatly slowed down aging, Sect Master Li at this time, even in the entire Zhao family, was a powerful contender for the position of family head.

“The loophole in the eight-layer defense is the one-minute interval for the exchange of guards. This minute is the patrol team's shift change.” “Mr. Zhao's words are indeed tempting.”

“The eighth layer is Zhao's basic guard team, a total of seventy people. Their strength is weak, all at the seventh level, but the alarm communication network they form is very troublesome.” The woman explained bit by bit.

With fluttering sleeves, a tall crown, and long hair, he was unrestrained. This was related to the Yiguo upper class's reverence for Taoist metaphysics. Planets of different colors and sizes slowly orbited around them.

If this negotiation broke down, the Zhao family would definitely take action, but the current Li Cheng was no longer the weak group it once was. The theme of the banquet was eternity, starry night, and love.

He reached out and clenched his fist lightly.

“Actually, the main purpose of my visit this time is to resolve some misunderstandings and offenses that my younger sister, Zhao Qianrou, had towards you.” Sect Master Li sincerely raised his glass.

Fei Yunyi didn't reply and strode out of the terrace, about to leave towards the exit.

“So, Sect Master thinks he's very strong now?” Yue Qian Tian put down his glass, making a soft sound. Sect Master Li was a direct descendant of the Zhao family.

It was difficult for ordinary people to pull off the long, flowing hair look without appearing unkempt and disheveled. “Why is that? Can the sect master tell me the reason?”

“Although Li Cheng Group is only a medium-sized group now, that's because its development time is too short, plus you're all Dead Zone people in charge of the business, so its potential is limited.

In the dim light, most people didn't notice the figure of the person who came in, only Ming Yuan and Mu Hua, who had been paying attention to Sect Master Li, noticed that he smiled when he saw the person, got up, and took the initiative to greet him.

“Then there's no need for Mr. Zhao to worry.” Yue Qianyi's expression also faded. Actually, if the Hualin Yi (Flowscale Armor) technology could really be shared, he would still be willing to release a portion. It was a pity....

“As long as it's not an opponent like Mr. Zhao, we only see the rest of the so-called wolves as dogs,” Fei Yunyi replied with a smile.

“The first layer is a modified human guard composed of You Er (Right Ear) and Bao Zhu (Pearl), their strength is unknown, but they once solved two seventh-level modified human masters who assassinated in seven seconds.”

“With my Zhao family's connections, network, and resources, coupled with the system behind Mr. Zhao, the potential...”

Sect Master Li was no exception. After discovering Fei Yunyi's value and the significance of what he represented, he immediately wanted to use the excuse of apologizing for his sister to have a face-to-face meeting with Fei Yunyi.

He was just waiting in a corner, observing others. Further away, in another corner, two young lovers embracing and kissing lightly were secretly observing him.

“One year.” He held up a finger.

“Makes sense.” Sect Master Li nodded, “But, since the sect master has shown such technology, you should understand that there's a saying, 'to be innocent, but to possess a treasure is a crime'.”

Following him, his cousin Zhao Enran, through his network, invited many relevant talents. “Future matters? What does Mr. Zhao mean?” Fei Yunyi raised an eyebrow.

Doing multiple things at once was already commonplace for people like them. A faint sound of glass shattering came from all corners.

“Does the sect master know a saying, 'it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.' Li Cheng's directors are not all strong, but... they also have families, and they also have friends... Facing a pack of wolves, I'm afraid they'll eventually run out of strength....” Sect Master Li raised an eyebrow, hinting.

“In that case, I, on behalf of my younger sister, will punish myself with eight cups first.”

“Mr. Zhao is too kind. You sent so many valuable gifts before we even met. I and the directors of Li Cheng have long wanted to thank you in person. Now that the other directors are temporarily busy, I have come as soon as possible on behalf of Li Cheng to express our gratitude.”

Just then, another person entered the banquet hall entrance.

This assassination mission against Sect Master Li was the largest mission their entire Motley Crew organization had received. And once this mission was completed, they could quickly transfer abroad through Longhe's special channels. Their strength was weak, and they were even inferior to many seventh-level modified humans in direct combat.

After the recent Chaoyu terror attack, Zhao Qianrou was implicated and investigated, and is now under house arrest at home.

“The patrol route and time intervals have already been investigated. Yue Qiantian's bodyguards have a total of eight layers.” The woman looked almost like a normal cream puff, with a stern temperament and a shy, harmless smile on her face.

This was the favorite style of dress of the upper-class nobles of Yiguo.

“Overpraised. I was just forced by the situation. Mr. Zhao should know that we Yue Qian are all Dead Zone members, right?” Fei Yunyi sighed.

But the person who entered now had sharp eyes, a captivating aura, a small mustache on his lips, and long white hair that added to his heroic and fierce aura.

“Of course I know, but having developed to this point, even Dead Zone people have their own brilliance. The country won't ignore it, and everyone around won't ignore it,” Sect Master Li said, “So... the reason why Zhao came here personally this time is to sincerely invite Mr. Zhao to join my Zhao family's Wanshi (Myriad World) Chamber of Commerce.”

Regardless of the amount or difficulty, it was the highest in history.

Yue Qianyi smiled without saying a word.

The key was that this person was dressed in a close-fitting white shirt and white pants, with a silver dragon tattooed on his chest, making it difficult to judge his origin. Everyone had weaknesses, fatal points. As long as they hit the fatal point, even a fourth-level would die without a doubt.

“Then, what about Sect Master Li?”

He looked up, looking at the other party's expectant face. Soft music slowly surrounded them.

Sparse guests stood among them, as if they were in the deep, distant, dark space. The purpose of my Li Cheng is just a small group composed of Dead Zone people. In the face of the many dangers of the outside world, they may be able to block it for a while, but they will never be able to block it for a lifetime.” Sect Master Li said lightly.

“Welcome, welcome, welcome Mr. Zhao, I always hear my sister mention you, you are like thunder to my ears, I have admired your name for a long time.” Yue Qiantian smiled and shook hands with Fei Yunyi.

One of the purposes of this night banquet was to attract those talents, not just Yue Qianyi alone.

“The seventh layer is a team of seventy people led by the Two-Swords Chen Kaiming. The average member is an eighth-level modified human. Chen Kaiming is a style Fei Yi (Flying Instrument) master on staff in the military, and his strength is unknown. At least above the eighth level.”

“Well, be careful, that guy is very strong, an eighth-level modified human, and a seventh-level Flying Instrument master. There are also high-level bodyguards protecting him around the clock.” The woman had a pure temperament, wearing a light green dress, and was only eleven or twelve years old. At this time, she was whispering to the woman while pretending to be a couple.

Ming Yuan and Mu Hua were quickly guessing the person's origin in their minds. “It's up to you,” Yue Qian said softly.

“Me?”

He immediately drank it all in one gulp, then continued to fill it, drinking eight cups in a row. The two were puzzled and secretly carefully observed.

Fei Yunyi slowly opened his mouth.

Before Fei Yunyi arrived, Yue Qiantian sat quietly watching the guests chatting in the hall.

There were only a dozen direct descendants in the family, and he ranked seventh among them, being Zhao Qianrou's elder brother.

“That's right.” Yue Qiantian smiled, “According to convention, the first place in the Grand Tournament will be invited by the military to take a military position. Miss Li Chongnan is a member of the Li family, so naturally they have their own arrangements. What Zhao wants to talk about is Mr. Zhao.”

That's right, what is the Grand Tournament compared to this? “Understood,” the woman nodded.

Suddenly, all the lights in the hall went out.

So the Zhao family came, and the biggest purpose, of course, was the special armor technology behind Tianming (Destiny).

Sect Master Li, the host of this night banquet, wore a white robe with a silver belt around his waist. Faint purple light faintly appeared and disappeared on the belt.

But reality was not a game where you simply compared who had a higher level. “Mr. Zhao is saying someone wants to come and snatch it?” Fei Yunyi smiled.

“People's greed is like the big rivers and small rivers, endless. The sect master is just one person, and Li Cheng is just a small group composed of Dead Zone people. Facing the dangers of the outside world, they may be able to block it for a while, but they will never be able to block it for a lifetime.” Sect Master Li said lightly.

“Welcome, welcome, welcome Mr. Zhao. I have always heard my sister mention you. You are like thunder in my ears. I have admired your name for a long time.” Yue Qiantian smiled and shook Fei Yunyi's hand.

These two, the woman's code name was Yue Qian, the man's code name was Mu Hua, and they were also the main executors of this operation.

After waiting for a few minutes.

“Yue Qiantian is too polite, offending is out of the question, it's just a small misunderstanding. Now that it's been said, then let's call it even.” Yue Qianyi smiled slightly.

The person Sect Master Li welcomed was nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a wide body. He had a strong physique, and his head of white hair fell straight down his shoulders. He did not appear to be older than eighty years old.

The waiter poured wine for the two and quickly retreated.

Then there was a roar. It came from the terrace where Sect Master Li was. Just the second Fei Yunyi walked out of the banquet hall.

Occasionally, a piece of meteor or comet flashed past the crowd, causing people to reach out and touch it.

“That's right, my Zhao family is eager for talents, and I personally admire Mr. Zhao and the members of Li Cheng Group. Being able to start from scratch and create such a medium-sized group in such a short period of time is a fantasy for many people,” Sect Master Li said with a smile.

“Besides, only the weak are guilty of possessing treasure, the strong, that's called the virtuous dwell in it.” Mu Hua took a deep breath and said no more.

“Now there are only seventeen minutes left. After the operation, whether it's successful or not, we only have seventy seconds to evacuate. Sister Marian will give us subsequent support,” Ming Yuan said in a low voice.

With the Li family behind him, and so much favor from Chaoyu, even against Yue Qiantian, he had to try to know how strong or weak he was. “But, I refuse.”

“Assassins!!”

So the Zhao family came, and the biggest purpose, of course, was the special armor technology behind Tianming (Destiny).

The host of this night banquet, Sect Master Li, wore a white robe with a silver belt around his waist. Faint purple light faintly appeared and disappeared on the belt.

But reality was not a game where you simply compared who had a higher level. “Mr. Zhao is saying someone wants to come and snatch it?” Fei Yunyi smiled.

“People's greed is like the big rivers and small rivers, endless. The sect master is just one person, and Li Cheng is just a small group composed of Dead Zone people. Facing the dangers of the outside world, they may be able to block it for a while, but they will never be able to block it for a lifetime.” Sect Master Li said lightly.
