Chapter 531: Today’s divination: Great Fortune! (Seeking monthly votes and recomndations)_1
It’s hard to imagine.
It turns out that what has always wanted to deal with was not a person, but an intelligent brain!
And it’s the silly-looking intelligent brain Gaia from the Western Continent!
When Pei Jinye probed, he had already obtained the result.
For this result… he was sowhat caught off guard.
Even now, he doesn’t quite understand what Gaia ant by “cause and effect.”
...
His contact with Gaia… If you could call it real contact, it probably only happened in the Fla God Coffin World.
As for the real world…
When he was trapped in Nagano at the beginning, Gaia was still in self-check status, so there was no chance for contact.
Could it be that everything that happened in the Fla God Coffin World really carries over into reality?
He had previously thought that Star Ring rembered these things because the Fla God Coffin itself was dominated by it.
“Gaia… why do you so want dead?”
…
An unexpected storm began to rage over the sea surface.
Thunder roared through the sky.
…
In an underground intelligence center located sowhere in the Western Continent.
Rows of text appeared on a screen that was not open to the public.
[Who is he?]
[Can his words just now be trusted?]
[There is a 50% possibility they are true…]
[What is his purpose in doing this?]
[Is he the Sword Dominator? That woman’s disciple? No, he uses a sword, he is not the Sword Dominator.]
[Who exactly is that woman to him?]
[It’s unwise to provoke that woman…]
Suddenly, an alarm went off on the panel.
[Undersea laboratory has been exposed, imdiate cleanup required.]
The warning indicated that the risk of its exposure had skyrocketed to a dangerous level of 90%!
[Therefore, he must die.]
The entire underground intelligence center was bathed in red light, as if Gaia had fully awakened.
The panel constantly refreshed.
[Initiate search!]
[Encountering blockage!]
[Increase search precision!]
[Blockage unlocked!]
[Target locked, permission to fire granted.]
Just as this command appeared, a military stronghold in the Western Continent suddenly opened its missile silo.
The base entered first-level combat readiness.
Many soldiers were confused.
Even most of the high-ranking officers at the base were in the dark, as they had not received any firing orders.
“General?”
The soon-to-retire old general raised his hand, signaling everyone to remain calm.
“This is a secret directive from headquarters.”
The people around him were filled with astonishnt and doubt.
“Countdown to launch in ten seconds.”
A chanical voice sounded throughout the base.
“Nine…”
“Eight…”
“Seven…”
…
“One…”
Observed by a hovering satellite.
Above the Federico Sea, a fixed-wing plane sped through the clouds, fleeing towards Central State.
The face Pei Jinye had previously exposed in the undersea setting appeared precisely in the satellite’s observation screen.
[Confirmation, fire!]
“Bang!”
A base along the coast of the Western Continent shuddered violently.
A big ball of white gas billowed.
In the sky, a God Exterminating Cannon appeared… almost instantly, an explosion occurred within the clouds above the Federico Sea.
The clouds were illuminated by a burst of firelight.
More beautiful than the sunset.
The dispersing clouds ford so sort of scorching fast wind tunnel, resembling a trail of azure flas.
[Target has been hit.]
Afterwards.
A secret order from the Western Continent was quickly followed by a search in the Federico Sea for the wreckage.
During this ti.
The sudden use of the God Exterminating Cannon, especially its remote usage from the Western Continent, caused widespread speculation.
Since the explosion took place near the border of Central State and the Western Continent, the location was sensitive, inevitably raising alarm among the people.
Various factions received this intelligence at the sa ti.
…
At this mont in Central State.
A secret report was delivered to Han Sen.
“What did the Western Continent say?”
“This operation is extrely confidential and not open to the public,” Xing Tian replied.
“Extrely confidential operation?” Han Sen sneered. “In their own territory, they can do whatever they want. But above the Federico Sea… Does the Western Continent really think they can act with impunity?”
“Shall I convey your stance to the Western Continent?” asked Xing Tian.
“Send it! The Western Continent must give us an explanation for this matter!” Han Sen said coldly.
The phone on his desk rang.
Han Sen picked up, his tone softening: “Let the old man answer.”
Soon after.
The voice of Councilor Cui Min, sounding sowhat tired, ca through the receiver: “I’m already aware of the incident in the Federico Sea and have ordered the Western Continent to give us an explanation… Also, regarding the mist incident on Naless Island, the Western Continent should also give us an explanation.”
“The mist incident… I’ve inquired about it before, but there was interference from the Federation level,” Han Sen said.
Councilor Cui Min spoke slowly: “Let’s not talk about the past. As for now, they must forward all research materials to us, whatever the study is.”
“Understood.”
While Han Sen was speaking, a report from Xing Tian appeared on the panel in front of him.
Han Sen then said to Councilor Cui Min on the phone: “The Western Continent has agreed to offer compensation. They’ve decided…”
After listening for a mont.
Councilor Cui Min’s voice ca through the phone: “You can ask for more, use your judgnt.”
“Yes.”
The call ended.
Han Sen softly exhaled.
“Xing Tian.”
“I am here, Sir Han Sen,” Xing Tian replied.
Han Sen opened his mouth but, in the end, said nothing and stood up to leave.
Inside the room.
The two green orbs representing Xing Tian’s eyes dimd slightly.
“Gaia… what exactly does it want to do?”
…
Under the suppression of an invisible giant hand, the turmoil in the Federico Sea was abruptly quelled in a sowhat distorted fashion.
Although no one knew what had occurred, no one doubted that a powerful figure was behind it.
…
Da Peng City.
Within Saint Sun Hospital.
“Master, Governor Zhou Weiren is expected to arrive in ten minutes to visit you,” Zhong Xuan said, bowing.
The figure in the hospital room, with his back turned, slowly rotated: “Zhou Weiren? Good, let him co.”
Once the door closed.
Pei Jinye lay on the hospital bed with a blank expression.
From the mont he began to probe, he knew that Gaia would definitely not let him off.
Trading an avatar for a precious God Exterminating Cannon, Pei Jinye felt it was worth it.
Such a feat, if known, could turn Pei Jinye into a legend overnight.
How many people in this world could survive within the range of the God Exterminating Cannon?
However, such an event wasn’t enough to bring Pei Jinye joy; it was rely ntioned in passing, not worth making a fuss over.
No matter how strong Gaia was, it could not uncover the secret he harbored.
Introducing the Female Sword Immortal was to draw Gaia’s attention away.
When the ti was right, he would strike back with all his might.
“What a pity that this bastard has grown to LV7, with my current ability… attempting to infiltrate him right away is but a fool’s dream.”
“I need to devour more of the Psychic Network System.”
Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.
“But it’s not all for naught.”
“At the very least… I once had a grasp of its core algorithm. To know your enemy and know yourself is to be unbeatable in a hundred battles…”
Logically, LV4 shouldn’t be as accurate as the current Gaia.
But it’s important to rember that during the Solar Calendar era, Gaia was no more than what Pei Jinye is capable of now.
And back then, an LV4 Gaia managed to control a continent of 140 million square kiloters.
Thus, in a sense, Pei Jinye isn’t far behind.
He only appears weaker compared to an LV7 Gaia.
The only real difference is that an LV4 Gaia doesn’t need to use Extraordinary Abilities like Pei Jinye does for storage… Its operation isn’t affected by its state.
Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.
“Now that I know who’s behind all this, the next steps should be easier.”
Ten minutes later.
Zhou Weiren arrived, all smiles and politeness.
Accompanying him were high-ranking officials of the Da Peng City Military Departnt, as well as Secretary Lin.
Seeing the pallor on Pei Jinye’s face, everyone was frightened.
If the Jiang family’s patriarch were to pass away, the Jiang family would be dood. And for Zhou Weiren… The Jiang family couldn’t have any mishaps during his term, as it was related to his future prospects.
In fact, Pei Jinye wasn’t feigning this weakness.
After a fight and the ntal strain of setting up the ruse to make Gaia believe he was dead, Pei Jinye’s expenditure was enormous.
But, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
Despite the great expenditure, there were many benefits.
Overall, it was worth it.
The Military Departnt officials did not stay long.
Soon, only Zhou Weiren and Pei Jinye remained in the room.
“Regarding the construction of our city…”
Zhou Weiren was sowhat troubled. He wanted Da Peng City to advance further, but unfortunately, the local comrcial forces were not strong, and the scale of foreign investnt they attracted was no match for other cities.
“Whatever you need to do, just say the word,” Pei Jinye maintained his persona as Jiang Qingcang without revealing anything.
First, Zhou Weiren laughed heartily, sparing no praise, then he cautiously inquired if the Jiang family could take over so unfinished projects in Da Peng City.
“Certainly,” Pei Jinye’s response was straightforward.
Zhou Weiren was very surprised.
However, Pei Jinye had one condition; the soon-to-be-established Da Peng Port Corporation needed comprehensive official support from the city for its mariti operations.
Zhou Weiren agreed without hesitation.
Mariti operations were profitable, and the city would get more tax revenue from successful businesses. It would also increase his, Zhou Weiren’s, chances for promotion.
They reached a mutual agreent.
After Zhou Weiren left.
That sa afternoon.
Pei Jinye sat in the Jiang family car, leading a grand motorcade back to the Jiang ancestral ho.
Regardless of what happened outside, what did it have to do with him, Jiang Qingcang?
In the back garden.
Pei Jinye coughed lightly, his face now regaining a bit of its color.
Who would believe it if it were told?
If it weren’t for his current attribute points being at an Extraordinary Fourth Rank, the specific Extraordinary Talent of his Instrunt · Sword would be enough to synthesize an advancent to Fifth Rank.
It was already challenging for Pei Jinye to advance from Third to Fourth Rank.
Not to ntion upgrading to Fifth Rank…
Pei Jinye even felt surprised by this.
Why was Gaia so eager to recruit so many swordsn?
A gentle breeze wafted through.
Pei Jinye felt the Sword Intent emanating from himself, beginning to polish the surging Sword Intent.
A Bluebird hovered nearby on a tree branch.
Even the Giant Python, which had been resting, couldn’t help but raise its head to look… It inexplicably felt a sharp Sword Intent emanating from Pei Jinye.
Ti flew swiftly.
And the evening sun set.
Pei Jinye slowly ended his practice.
Divination! Consulting the oracle for today’s fortune!
[Gua Symbol: Auspicious]
A grand fortune!
“Could there be more good news to co today?”
Pei Jinye’s eyes brightened instantly.
