Chapter 129

Chen Luo gave Xia Haoran a Level 4 physical crystal to help him advance to Level 4 more quickly.

Deducting 300 points from Xia Haoran, Xia Haoran had accumulated a substantial 1128 points in total, nearing the required 1500 points for promotion to Elder status. Xia Haoran didnt mind as earning 30 to 40 points a day was still quite effortless for him.

Chen Luo remarked, Notify me when you reach Level 4.

At Level 4 of the Physical ability users, one could selectively temper specific body parts. Chen Luo advised Xia Haoran to focus on strengthening his hands to avoid unnecessary detours.

If Thunderbolt King were to find out about this, he might exclaim, Wow, back in my day, I only received 100 points for a Level 4 crystal, and now youve turned around and sold it for 300 points? It was essentially profiting as an intermediary.

When Chen Luo returned to the villa, Thunderbolt King was playing with Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong lay on the ground, looking dispirited and uninterested.

Seeing Chen Luo, Thunderbolt King nervously observed him, hoping he hadnt plan to turn Xiao Hong into fried chicken.

Master, Xiao Hong belongs to me.

Xiao Hong had been quite energetic when it arrived in the morning, but now it seemed to be running out of energy. If Law King continued to overexert it like this, how much longer could it live?

Chen Luo scolded, Didnt I ask you to take care of it? Is it going to lay eggs this way? Take good care of it and dont keep pressing on it.

After some thought, Chen Luo gave Xiao Hong two Level 3 crystals.

Thunderbolt King, if Xiao Hong doesnt know how, teach it how to absorb these.

Over at Jiang Longs place, crystals were in short supply, and there werent enough people. How could they possibly allocate crystals to chickens? Even if they had enough, who would have thought that chickens could absorb them?

If Xiao Hong could grow, perhaps its taste would become even more delicious, or it might lay more eggs in the future?

Back in his room, Chen Luo continued absorbing Level 3 crystals. There werent many Level 4 crystals, and he preferred absorbing a large quantity of Level 3 crystals. The Level 4 crystals would be reserved for outstanding members.

Unless they were Level 6 crystals, they wouldnt have a significant effect on Chen Luo. The effects of Level 4 and 5 crystals werent as pronounced, especially since Chen Luo was already at Level 5.

Rice, on the other hand, was Chen Luos top priority in terms of cultivation. Although Rices precognitive abilities were abnormal, they could currently only sense events that would occur within about ten minutes. Even for Chen Luo, Mi Li, and the others, she could only predict dangers that might happen within half an hour.

Qi Lins base was located within a resort, boasting excellent surroundings. When the apocalypse occurred, Qi Lin was already here, enjoying a vacation. This base had been developed by him. At the time, he was vacationing with a group of his underlings, and they were all present.

The attendees included more than ten bosses, each with several hundred subordinates under their command. Small groups like Deng Xianhongs, which had only around twenty members, were not invited by Qi Lin.

Qi Lin warmly welcomed each person with a hearty laugh. For a gathering like this, he couldnt simply neglect the hospitality. They all sat around a large outdoor table.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Qi Lin began, That kid Ye Gaofei, hes really gone too far. Couldnt we all develop independently without any issues? His ambitions are just too grand; he wants to swallow all of us.

Heck, even if his old man were still alive, he wouldnt dare talk to me that way, Qi Lin continued confidently.

Zhao Hai chimed in, Brother Qi, youre not exaggerating. In terms of wealth, youre on par with Ye Gaofeis family, if not even higher. Besides, Ye Gao Fei is just an heir; hes not the one in charge.

Qi Lin burst into laughter, saying, Forget about the wealth from before the apocalypse; its meaningless now. Today, everyone here is a brother.

After some more casual chatter, Qi Lin got to the point, To be honest, the way Ye Gaofei is handling things, we dont really need to do anything. It wont take long for him to self-destruct; he cant sustain so many people on his own.

His idea of collective resources might sound good, but can it actually work? someone asked.

But hes being aggressive, trying to eliminate us first. Thats not something we can tolerate, another person chimed in.

Listen, I have a way to deal with Ye Gaofei. Once hes gone, his base will fall into chaos. We can block them, and trust me, it wont lead to a full-blown conflict, Qi Lin explained. And then, we can divide his people among ourselves. Now, lets not beat around the bush; Ill be responsible for taking out Ye Gaofei, but Ill take a 30% cut of the resources from his base.

Chen Luo squinted his eyes, intrigued by Qi Lins claim that he had a way to eliminate Ye Gaofei. Could it be that Qi Lin was behind Ye Gaofeis death?

One person in the group asked, Brother Qi, could you tell us how you plan to eliminate Ye Gaofei?

Qi Lin simply smiled but didnt answer the question directly.

All right, those who are willing to join in dealing with Ye Gaofei, show your support, Qi Lin said.

Everyone, including Zhao Hai, nodded in agreement. Not only would they be able to deal with Ye Gaofei, but they would also get a share of his people and resources.

Chen Luo shook his head and said, I have fewer people, so I wont participate.

Qi Lin chuckled and said ominously, Do you know theres a tradition in fights like these? Its kill the bystander first.'
