A chubby, oversized face appeared on the screen. It had a pair of fangs barely the length of a thumb and large, adorably wide eyes. Looking at Li Yu, it spoke in a milky, childish voice, "Who are you looking for?"
Li Yu imdiately feigned shock and exclaid, "Manager Tu, who used a Ti Divine Ability to strike you back to your childhood?!"
The screen abruptly went black before a coarse, rugged face replaced it. The expression was dark and gloomy. It was Tu Rui. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Li Yu?"
"Manager Tu sure moves fast. It hasn't been long at all, and you're already at the Hospital. However, you should be careful not to get accidentally injured by Dark Star."
Li Yu said with mock concern.
"What is it?" Tu Rui had no intention of chatting with Li Yu. His attitude was extrely peculiar. He no longer seed angry; instead, he treated Li Yu with pure apathy, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"I feel there is sothing I need to tell you..." Li Yu smiled and recounted how Siege had just co to see him.
As expected, Tu Rui's expression shifted slightly, and a trace of fury surfaced on his face. This matter was completely beyond his expectations.
A mont later, Tu Rui reined in his emotions and stared at Li Yu. "Did you agree to his terms?"
Li Yu imdiately shook his head. "You are my manager. How could I possibly listen to him?"
Tu Rui let out a cold sneer. "Do not think I am unaware of what you are planning..."
Suddenly, before Tu Rui could even finish his sentence, a tiny little foot stretched into the fra and kicked him right in the face.
Li Yu wore a bizarre expression, struggling to hold back his laughter. Tu Rui remained entirely expressionless as he pushed the tiny foot down and out of sight.
"Stop harboring delusions of threatening ..."
Li Yu realized that Tu Rui was clearly fearless due to his backing. It was highly likely to be Taotie's contingency plan. Could there be another juvenile Troll Heart?
'How could that be?' he thought. Trolls were a Dominant Race; they would never allow the organs of their Tribesn to be sold so easily, and their investigations into such matters were exceedingly strict.
"Not at all, I was just worried about you. Manager Tu, I have matters to discuss, so I will hang up first," Li Yu said with a smile.
"Wait..." Tu Rui's expression darkened. He pondered for a mont before asking coldly, "What terms did he offer you?"
"Three Citizenships..." Li Yu replied with a perfectly calm expression.
"Impossible!" Tu Rui was as decisive and absolute as ever.
'Why is it always those exact sa words?' Li Yu grumbled internally. On the surface, he rely shrugged. "Suit yourself if you don't believe ."
"I'm going to go back and edit so videos. Let's see if I can put together a nice compilation."
"Enough!" Tu Rui snapped coldly, panting heavily. "I will give you two Citizenships! Three is impossible! Every single Citizenship requires an enormous price!"
"I will fulfill this promise as soon as I return!"
'Two... that works too...' Li Yu thought for a mont before nodding. "A pleasure doing business with you. By the way, your son's foot is stuck in your nostril."
The screen went black as Tu Rui abruptly cut the transmission.
"Interesting. I didn't expect the information I possess to hold such value. What is the underlying reason...? What kind of harm would seeking a Troll Heart bring to Tu Rui?"
"Being loathed by his Tribesn?"
Li Yu was sowhat puzzled, entirely lacking any solid clues.
That night, two System Logs updated simultaneously.
[Day Two - Transforrs World: Having just massacred the Gang, you successfully landed yourself on the Wanted Order as desired.
Relying on the mories in your mind, you located Sam's house and forcefully seized his grandfather's Glasses. However, just as you were about to deal the lethal blow at the very end, you were stopped by Bumblebee.
Your strength left Bumblebee shocked, but you were also powerless against him. You had no choice but to calmly retreat.]
[Acquired Blue Title - Enemy of the Protagonist. Extract?]
'A blue title?' Li Yu was a bit surprised. This was his very first ti receiving a blue-tier title.
'Extract!'
He wanted to see what kind of effects it possessed.
[Acquired Blue Title - Enemy of the Protagonist: Naturally incurs the hostility of protagonists, possesses a high affinity with Villains.]
It was a very simple introduction: an enemy to protagonists.
He scratched his head. 'This title is genuinely fascinating.'
[Day One - Dune World: You descended upon the dunes of the Fren, awakened by the roaring engines of a Flying Vehicle.
Paul and his Mother had just escaped the relentless pursuit of House Harkonnen. You helped them survive the treacherous dunes.
Although they were highly suspicious of you, they had no other choice but to travel alongside you.]
[Acquired Special Item - Seed of the Voice. Extract?]
'Seed of the Voice? Isn't that an ability of the Bene Gesserit? It allows the user to manipulate others through language.'
'Good stuff!'
'As expected of my Second Clone, my precious treasure!'
'Extract!'
[Acquired Special Item - Seed of the Voice: By planting the Seed of the Voice, one can obtain the Alluring Voice Ability. The power of this ability is directly linked to the strength of one's ntal Power.]
It was a white seed radiating a milky-white halo. Just a single glance at it evoked a compelling urge for Submissiveness.
'The Voice... no matter how I look at it, this thing feels far inferior to Mo Duo's eyes. I actually have to speak to use it. Still, it's better than nothing.'
Swallowing it in one gulp, Li Yu felt that the object didn't travel down his esophagus into his stomach. Instead, it broke through the confines of his flesh and blood, rising straight into his mind.
He felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy sledgehamr. The agony was excruciating, resembling the sensation of a handsaw cleaving his skull open.
In another room, Mo Duo seed to sense sothing. She abruptly opened her eyes, her dark green pupils flickering ceaselessly.
After a long while, Li Yu felt that the world before his eyes had beco significantly sharper. The flow of the air, the drifting dust—everything was incredibly clear.
"Stop!" he spat out a bizarre syllable. Accompanied by a tremor in the air, he felt sothing invisible flow out from his mind.
'Is this ntal Power?' Li Yu marveled. It was a very peculiar sensation. His ntal Power wasn't weak right now, perhaps owing to the fact that he was a transmigrator.
Early the next morning, as he pushed open his door, the first thing he saw was Mo Duo with furrowed brows. The mont she laid eyes on Li Yu, her pupils instantly contracted.
"How is this possible?!"
She could no longer sense Li Yu's emotions. In the past, she had always been able to vaguely perceive what he was feeling, but today, it was as if an invisible barrier stood between them.
This wasn't her first ti experiencing this sensation. She had felt it from those cha pilots before; it was the outward manifestation of ntal Power.
But it had only been a single night. Moreover, how could Li Yu possibly possess a thod for training ntal Power?
"Are you srized by my looks?" Li Yu teased as he looked at the utterly dumbfounded Mo Duo.
Mo Duo didn't reply; she rely gave him a profound, lingering look.
Buzz!
The chanical Door slid open, and a squad of guards filed in. Right in the middle was Siege. He wore a cold sneer on his face, acting completely differently from the day before.
"Li Yu, you have violated the regulations of the Tyron Chamber of Comrce by colluding with The Howler and intentionally forfeiting the match. Co with ."
He read rigidly from a script, his voice sharp and piercing. Dozens of gun barrels were aid squarely at Li Yu. If he dared to make any sudden moves, there would only be one outco.
Li Yu's brows furrowed tightly. Another unexpected variable had arisen. What kind of crazy pill did this old goat take? Why was he suddenly making a move against him?
"Manager Siege, I agree to your terms..." Li Yu began to say.
Siege sneered coldly. "What terms? Still trying to fra ? Take him away!"
