Li Jing sighed and looked back.
"Five hundred Spirit Chickens, when exactly do Mr. ng and Miss Yue need them?"
"At the end of the month, a week before the wedding banquet starts, they said to deliver them directly to the wedding preparation site."
Liu Sisi replied.
"Five hundred Spirit Chickens, the volu is indeed quite large. We can’t fit them even if we wanted to. I’ve just contacted the dealer and asked them to reserve stock by the end of the month, and I’ll deliver them then. Miss Yue Lingling has given a deposit of two million for now, and the remaining twenty-three million will be settled upon delivery."
While saying this, Liu Sisi held her small face, showing a look of longing.
"To be honest, I’m a bit envious of Miss Yue Lingling. She caught a golden turtle [rich husband]. The Spirit Chickens will only be a few dishes on the table, it’s hard to imagine how grand this wedding will be. The cost of the wedding must be at least a few hundred million. This kind of scene, I’m afraid it’s beyond anything even a big star marrying into a wealthy family would put on."
Li Jing smirked at the comnt.
Wedding banquets are expensive.
But it’s rare to see anything so excessive.
Before he crossed over, it would have been unimaginable.
In this world though, it could be described as the height of luxury.
With so much money, wouldn’t it be better to buy sothing that helps with cultivation?
Thinking about the Linglong Tower that Chen Jing had just given him—a tenth-level treasure that’s almost a spirit weapon and worth around ninety million—this wedding could afford several Linglong Towers.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Sisi looked at him with her big watery eyes.
"Li Jing, when will you be so capable and generous? I wouldn’t mind chasing you."
"..."
Li Jing was speechless, laughing and replying.
"Sister Sisi, aren’t you being a bit materialistic?"
"Huh! What does this have to do with being materialistic?"
Liu Sisi snapped back.
"If you could have it, why not go for it? What’s the difference between not trying and being a salted fish [useless person]? Besides, just like it’s okay for n to be lustful, it’s also okay for won to be a bit materialistic, right?"
"..."
Li Jing was rendered speechless.
Although reluctant to admit it, she was right.
Seeing him speechless, Liu Sisi winked and said,
"In summary, with your current situation, it’s unlikely that I’d chase after you. But you can try chasing after , who knows, I might just give you a chance if I’m not thinking straight."
"..."
Li Jing was speechless.
So, all she needs to do is ’not think straight’ to give him a chance...
Liu Sisi was indeed Liu Sisi - she dared to say anything.
To prevent her from continuing with whatever she might say next, Li Jing quickly changed the topic.
Sister Sisi, since we have two joyous events today, shouldn’t we have a celebration? Like...eating a Spirit Chicken or sothing?"
After hearing this, Liu Sisi’s spirited face instantly fell.
"All you think about are my Spirit Chickens! Is your boss lady not as good as a Spirit Chicken!?"
Huffing in discontent, Liu Sisi got up looking deflated.
"Let’s go, it’s almost ti for dinner. Let’s go to the kitchen and prepare one."
"Alright!"
Li Jing quickly replied.
...
With the "heroic" sacrifice of an 8-point health bar Spirit Chicken under the butcher knife, Li Jing enjoyed another delicious Spirit Chicken for his work al.
During this rare leisure ti, Li Jing chose to stay in the shop with Liu Sisi.
He would beco an official patroller the next day, and although he would still co to the shop, he’d inevitably have less ti to spend there.
The afternoon passed quickly.
At around three o’clock, Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu each sent a ssage saying that they had successfully passed their exams.
However, neither of them chose the Security Departnt.
The forr chose the Intelligence Departnt responsible for information collection, while the latter chose the Special Action Team responsible for assault operations.
All three mbers of the Heavenly King Group had joined different departnts. Li Jing felt a bit pensive.
But each has their own ambition, so he couldn’t really comnt.
And normally, if given the choice, no one would choose the Security Departnt – where officers are out in the field every day.
As dusk fell, Li Jing bid farewell to Liu Sisi and returned ho.
For the past few days, Chen Yuran had been on day duty.
It was almost six in the evening, ti for her to get off work and go ho.
In the past, Li Jing used to co to the shop in the evening and prepare dinner for her before leaving.
But today, he was out the entire day, and Chen Yuran would have nothing to eat when she got ho apart from the dog, Stinky Tofu. She would probably complain about it tonight.
On his way back to the villa, Li Jing bought so fresh vegetables and started cooking right away after feeding Stinky Tofu when he got ho.
After preparing a sumptuous dinner and while waiting for Chen Yuran to return, Li Jing took out the tablet he had received during the day to access the Patrol System.
He was slightly concerned about ng Fanhao and Yue Lingling.
After poking around the tablet for a while, Li Jing found their identity information.
He furrowed his brows, puzzled, after perusing their information.
Yue Lingling, as a human-shaped monster living among humans, understandably had valid docuntation in order to keep up the pretence. She wouldn’t be able to continue her façade without a proper identity.
What surprised Li Jing was...
Yue Lingling’s public identity was that of a sowhat popular online strear.
Another very adaptive human-shaped monster...
Compared to Zu Qiong, who directly infiltrated the Managent Bureau, Yue Lingling’s act wasn’t too surprising.
But Yue Lingling’s approach was even more audacious than Zu Qiong’s...
Just as Liu Sisi had said, she really had netted herself a goldmine of a son-in-law!
ng Fanhao, the only son of ng Hongtu, the founder of Huan Yu Group in Jianghai city, also held the position of CEO of Huan Yu Cultural dia, a subsidiary of Huan Yu Group.
The limited data in the Patrol System showed that the assets of the Huan Yu Group exceeded a trillion, and Huan Yu Cultural dia alone was worth more than a hundred billion.
This was an incredibly wealthy family!
How many won would envy Yue Lingling, a minor internet celebrity, for getting involved with soone as influential as ng Fanhao?
So...
How did she manage to get him?
Li Jing, driven by curiosity, pulled out a small portable device to visit Yue Lingling’s live stream website.
Just as he accessed the live stream, the nickna of the person ranked first attracted his attention.
The nickna was Huan Yu Culture, and the amount tipped was 17 million.
Li Jing was a bit taken aback.
Was this tipping amount for real?
The amount the person ranked second had tipped was only a few hundred thousand.
Seeing the nickna Huan Yu Culture, it was obviously ng Fanhao’s doing.
This guy was flaunting his wealth without any restraint.
Incredible!
Li Jing exclaid in sincere amazent.
A minor online strear like Yue Lingling didn’t really earn much.
The wealthy people of this world either did business or were high-level cultivators who earned high salaries no matter what they did.
These two groups rarely watched live streams.
Moreover, the industry was oversaturated.
Only those strears who were extrely popular really made a lot of money.
For people like Yue Lingling, making a couple of hundred thousand a month was considered breaking the norm.
However, the amount ng Fanhao alone tipped was 17 million!
The world of the rich wasn’t sothing he could understand.
Li Jing marveled as he looked at Yue Lingling’s strear nickna.
It was Under-Moon Mystical Fox.
Looking at her nickna, it seed like she was a fox demon?
While pondering if the strear’s nickna had any significance to Yue Lingling’s seemingly monster identity, the villa’s door was suddenly pushed open — Chen Yuran was back.
Li Jing, seeing Chen Yuran returning, instinctively looked up to greet her.
Just as he was looking at her, the image on the webpage lit up. The already stunning Yue Lingling cranked up the beauty filter to level ten and started her live stream.
"Hello everyone, did you miss the Mystical Fox? I missed you all!"
She sounded syrupy sweet, nothing like the tone she used when talking to Li Jing. It was sickly sweet.
But that was not the issue.
She was a strear after all!
Wasn’t she supposed to create so drama?
The main issue was this overly sweet voice blasted through the speakers of the compact device, built by the Research Institute, at the maximum volu.
Chen Yuran had just returned and was about to greet Li Jing while petting Stinky Tofu who had co over to nuzzle her hand.
When she suddenly heard this sound, she pursed her lips and her face turned a very strange shade.
"So you like this sort of thing?"
"..."
Li Jing.
Silently closed the live stream page, he put the annoying little thing away into his storage space.
On his phone, he usually switched on the vibration mode.
While watching videos, he always kept the volu low.
The noise from Yue Lingling’s live stream had just played at maximum volu, clearly because of that mischievous little creature, how could he not lock her away for a while?
Putting it into "seclusion", a flustered Li Jing spoke.
"Yuran, don’t misunderstand, I was just..."
Before he could finish, Chen Yuran waved her hand.
"I understand that young people are into this thing nowadays. I’m just a bit surprised that you..."
Midway through her sentence, she gave a aningful smile and then stopped speaking.
This made Li Jing uncomfortable.
He wanted to explain this problem.
But he didn’t know how to do it.
He couldn’t just outright say that a fox demon was live streaming, could he?
On the other side, Chen Yuran went into the room and saw the sumptuous dinner on the table, she quirked her eyebrow.
"Wow! Such a rich al tonight?"
While speaking, she sat down on another couch.
"My dad told about your successful patrol examination. I was thinking of going out to celebrate with you when I ca ho. But since you have prepared dinner, let’s have it at ho."
"Okay."
Li Jing nodded.
Since Chen Yuran didn’t dwell on the topic, he, of course, wouldn’t push it any further.
What’s the harm in dying socially once?
It’s not a big deal.
Quietly deciding to lengthen the "sentence" of that creature to an entire night, Li Jing looked up.
"I chose the Security Departnt, did your father tell you that?"
"He did."
In response to Chen Yuran’s answer, he said,
"Starting from tomorrow, we’ll be colleagues. It so happens I’m on day shift these few days. We can go to the Security Departnt together tomorrow, when I’ll introduce you to the departnt head. How about you follow and Luo Zhize during your probation period as a newcor?"
"I have no problem."
Li Jing smiled and said,
"That was what I was thinking too. It would be much more convenient for us to commute together and have dinner at ho."
"Ahem!"
Chen Yuran coughed, stood up, and cleared her throat.
"The food is getting cold, shall we eat first?"
"Sure."
Li Jing chuckled in reply, getting up.
In a way, Chen Yuran was quite understanding.
Her initiative to introduce him to the departnt head tomorrow was definitely a practical move.
...
The night passed without incident.
The following day, Li Jing woke early in the morning around five.
Making breakfast was still early.
He and Chen Yuran had work at nine, they could still make it if they woke up at eight.
The reason why he woke up so early was that Linglong Tower would upgrade to a Spirit Weapon around six in the morning.
Ti quietly passed, second by second.
As it was approaching six, a prompt sounded in his ear.
"The Linglong Tower has reached 100% progress in cultivation, quality improved, Spirit Weapon Level One."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up. Without rushing to take out the Linglong Tower, he quietly waited.
Through the connection, he could sense the marvelous changes occurring in the Linglong Tower, which had already ford a deep link with him. A sense of independent existence was slowly evolving within it.
Clearly, this consciousness belonged to the Linglong Spirit Weapon that had been born as the Linglong Tower was promoted to a Spirit Weapon.
The birth of the Spirit Weapon required a certain amount of ti to fully evolve.
This process must not be interrupted.
If the process is interfered with, the independent consciousness of the spirit weapon may beco damaged, causing the entire spirit weapon to beco scrap.
A spirit weapon without a complete spirit can’t be considered a spirit weapon.
Li Jing waited for over an hour.
Finally, near seven o’clock, the spirit weapon within the Linglong Tower completed its evolution.
At that mont, the Linglong Tower, which was at the root of Li Jing’s spiritual power in his consciousness, conveyed a deep sense of affection to Li Jing.
At the sa ti, Li Jing had a mont of enlightennt.
The initial attribute of the Linglong Tower is tal.
The five elents of artifacts.
tal and water are Yin, wood and fire are Yang, and earth is balanced between Yin and Yang.
Linglong Tower’s initial attribute is tal, which Li Jing was very pleased about.
Although he had been hoping to possess a Yang Elent spirit weapon capable of dealing devastating damage to Yin beings such as weird creatures easily, there is no doubt that a tower-type spirit weapon with a tal attribute is the best.
The tal of Five Elents, represents stability, convergence, and heaviness.
These three representations of power are extrely significant for treasure-level tower weapons.
A tower itself is one of the suppressing items, which has a suppressing effect.
If it is not stable and heavy enough, how can it suppress?
This power of convergence can further enhance the suppressing effect.
With a spread of his hand, the Linglong Tower appeared in Li Jing’s hand, its weight shifting up and down.
The golden body of the Linglong Tower was vastly different from when it was still a treasure, exuding an oppressive presence.
After inspecting the Linglong Tower for a while, Li Jing took out the Yin Qi crystal with a wave of his hand.
The Linglong Tower only had preliminary consciousness at the mont and did not have a spirit weapon form.
But even so, it was already in harmony with Li Jing’s intentions.
As soon as Li Jing pulled out the Yin Qi crystal, the Linglong Tower conveyed a sense of excitent and pulled the Yin Qi crystal into itself.
Watching the Linglong Tower draw away the Yin Qi crystal, Li Jing put it back with a flip of his hand.
Feeding a spirit weapon requires ti for digestion.
This Yin Qi crystal in his hand should be enough for the Linglong Tower to digest for a while.
After all, the Linglong Tower was only newly ford as a spirit weapon, its "digestive ability" is limited.
Putting away the Linglong Tower, Li Jing let out the small gadget that had been "locked up" in the storage space all night.
Before he had a chance to speak, the little gadget lit up the screen and popped out.
"Master, did you call ?"
Looking at the lively appearance of the little gadget, Li Jing’s mouth twitched slightly.
It seed that a simple "lockup" was no longer "satisfying" for the little gadget.
She was used to being locked up...
He rubbed his forehead and spoke in a low voice.
"Search on the Immortal Learning website, with ’Suppress’, ’Guard’, and ’Trap’ as the direction, and find the most suitable control objects skill for a tower-type treasure."
"Received!"
The little gadget snapped a strange salute on the screen.
In a few seconds, a web page window appeared behind the little gadget.
The little gadget then casually swiped and adjusted the Immortal Learning website to the Three Realm Control Objects Skill page for a freeze fra.
"Master, according to your requirents, the Zhenshi Skill is the most suitable control objects skill. Since it’s an unpopular control skill, the online reviews are not very reference-worthy."
Li Jing glanced down at the sound of the voice.
Looking at the page the little gadget had paused, he found that the Zhenshi Skill was not a heavy general use law, but a specific control objects skill exclusive to tower-type artifacts, priced at 800,000.
Specialized control skills like Sword Controlling are only available for popular artifacts.
Cold control skills are usually general control skills extended from a particular characteristic of an artifact.
Seeing that it was a specialized control objects skill, and the one selected by the little gadget, Li Jing clicked to purchase it without much thought.
The text of the skill popped up, and a prompt sounded.
"An active skill, the Zhenshi Skill, available for learning has been found. Would you like to log in?"
Li Jing silently logged in his mind, and the prompt sounded again.
"Successfully logged in the active skill, Zhenshi Skill."
After learning the Zhenshi Skill, Li Jing took a mont to experience it.
Without skill points, he was only a beginner in Zhenshi Skill, far from mastering it.
But even so, he could barely manipulate the Linglong Tower.
He could directly use the Linglong Tower like a cannonball to smack soone in the face, which should at least bring out a bit of its potential power.
