"Whew."
Watching the smoke rings erge from his mouth, Chen Jiuge couldn’t help but squint his eyes. What is life? This is life!
"Gululu, gululu."
Downing the soda that looked very much like cola in one gulp, Chen Jiuge even felt as if he had returned to a past life.
Luocheng, which absorbed the technology of countless small worlds, naturally took in soda—sothing beloved by the masses.
"Luocheng, once things stabilize here, I absolutely have to visit!"
Prior to departing, Lan Yun from Luocheng had once recruited Chen Jiuge, hence Chen Jiuge learned much information about Luocheng: chanical prosthetics, chanical modifications, biological modifications, gene enhancents—the kind of things that clearly don’t fit with cultivation, yet they were common sights on the streets of Luocheng, sparking great interest in Chen Jiuge.
"Beast Master, here is last month’s profit report!" Andrew respectfully handed over the statent in his hand.
Since acquiring all ten gladiatorial arenas, Andrew naturally beca the overall manager of the arenas with all operations now handled by him. Chen Jiuge only intervened when tricky issues arose.
As for whether Andrew might harbor any cunning, Chen Jiuge wasn’t worried at all because Andrew was simply too useless!
This wasn’t to say his ability to manage was poor—in fact, Andrew’s capability was extrely strong, perhaps the best among the managers of the ten arenas—it’s just his cultivation talent was utterly useless!
In this cultivation world, without strength, there’s no voice, even amassing wealth won’t help—no, one can’t quite say that; if Andrew had a high citizen status, it might be different. Alas, Andrew was rely a Third Level Citizen, and that, too, bought with money.
"The usual rules, take out ten percent of the profits, and keep a close eye on those sent by the Star Lord. Not a single penny should go to them!"
"Rest assured, sir, I’ve already arranged everything. If they manage to get even a penny, then I shouldn’t be the Grand Steward anymore!" Andrew said slyly.
"Okay, go on then!"
After Andrew left, Chen Jiuge glanced at the ledger casually and set it aside, with a trace of gravity in his eyes.
For the past three months, he’d kept the Star Lord from gaining anything, so Chong Yun probably wanted him dead.
"Yun Yan ntioned that in a month, headquarters folks will arrive, and then Law Enforcent Team mbers will imdiately control Chong Yun. The only variable now is whether Chong Yun can break through to the Seventh Level!"
Unlike old cultivators with little hope, Chong Yun was still young. His past cultivation journey showed his character was quite tough—though perhaps not the sharpest—but the chance of breaking through to the Seventh Level wasn’t small!
Chong Yun’s faults were neither light nor heavy, just enough to lose the position of Star Lord, but not fatal. If he broke through to Seventh Level Great Cultivator, he’d likely stage a coback, which Yun Yan couldn’t accept.
Of course, Chen Jiuge couldn’t accept it either, especially since Yun Yan was an inspector from headquarters, probably of significant status. It was different for him; if Chong Yun broke through, he’d likely be the first one to die!
"Ruishui, Ruishui!"
Awaiting the situation wasn’t Chen Jiuge’s style. Yun Yan had ntioned Chong Yun could only turn to the Weak Water Organization to break free from the current predicant, seeking breakthrough resources there, though Seventh Level resources were very expensive, and Chong Yun didn’t have enough.
Although he didn’t know precisely how much Chong Yun was short, Chen Jiuge ensured he’d secure nothing at all—if he could still break through then, it was just his bad luck.
Besides this, Chen Jiuge was also trying to make contact with the Weak Water Organization.
Though Weak Water was rely a second-rate force in the Yellow Springs Realm, even among second-rate it was bottom-tier, it held beings above Ninth Level, formidable and unattainable for soone like Chen Jiuge.
In the whole Mountain City, only two official forces could contact the Weak Water Organization 100%, besides them, only the Wu Family.
"Beep, beep, beep."
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, a communication from Wu Sheng ca.
"Hello, Wu Sheng, did you reach Weak Water?"
"I got in touch, but you know in Mountain City I’m significant, but compared to a big organization like Weak Water, I’m just an ant."
"I understand!"
"Seven tonight, I’ll bring people to find you!"
"Coming directly?" Chen Jiuge was sowhat surprised.
"Yes, the Weak Water mber I reached out to doesn’t hold a high position, but knows so details. Your Star Lord Chong Yun seems to be in a semi-abandoned state!" Wu Sheng’s tone was sowhat peculiar.
"Semi-abandoned?" Chen Jiuge found it odd.
Chong Yun had Sixth Level Cultivation and was a Star Lord of a Dark Star city. No matter how, abandoning him seed unlikely.
After all, according to the information Yun Yan found, Chong Yun hadn’t committed overly serious offenses!
"Alright, see you tonight!"
/.......
Seven in the evening.
In his office, Chen Jiuge t the Weak Water mber Wu Sheng had brought.
A tall, slim youth with an extrely handso face, had it not been for his flat chest and Adam’s apple, Chen Jiuge would have thought he was a woman.
"I’m Yun Shan. You want to know about Chong Yun, I can tell you, but it’s going to cost you money!" Yun Shan declared confidently.
"Alright, no problem!"
Chen Jiuge waved a hand grandly, placing a hundred Life and Death Crystals on the table.
"A hundred Life and Death Crystals, I want to know all of Chong Yun’s experiences!"
Life and Death Crystal is the upgraded version of Life and Death Coin. In the Yellow Springs Realm, Life and Death Spirit Ore can be mined, from which Life and Death Crystals are fetched. However, not every Life and Death Crystal is intact; so fragnted crystals are made into Life and Death Coins.
