Chapter 55: Facing the Wind!
When the morning sun shone on the bed, Yang Ming, who had been tired after working half the night, opened his eyes.
He subconsciously patted the pillow, then he remembered that he had returned to the suite he had booked last night and did not stay in that comfortable place for long.
"How do you feel, boss?"
The thief's voice sounded nearby.
Yang Ming's expression is hard to describe.
The watch interweaved several rays of light, and Lu jumped out with a smile, staring at Yang Ming who was lost in thought, wondering:
"Why do you feel disappointed, boss? Based on my observation of the human species, your performance last night, if not unparalleled, can be considered excellent."
Yang Ming let out a long sigh.
"That sister knows more than me."
Lu had several question marks in his head to express his incomprehension of this subtle state of mind.
She complained:
“Boss, you should indulge your desires in the future, and please also consider the increased workload that your assistant will have.
“Your biometric information cannot be leaked at will. Even though you have taken protective measures and used a machine that hardens your skin to prevent debris from falling off, it is still not safe.
“I need to keep close tabs on that target for more than a month.”
Yang Ming cleared his throat: "Okay, let's not discuss topics that are not related to the main business. Have they gone back?"
"Yes, boss."
Lu said softly:
"The little princess's psychological endurance is very limited. When the pressure from all sides accelerates, she will soon be unable to bear it. Last night, she hastily acted out a scene where three of her confidants found her, and she blamed all the guilt on her desire to go to an opera."
"How are the ladies-in-waiting, the guards, and the fake Talisa?"
"Safe for now," Ritsu said softly.
"What was the military's response?"
"very funny."
Lu said in a brisk voice:
“Most of the military’s top brass want to maintain the status quo.
"Guton Maha met with the emperor of the Luofeng Empire overnight. The two simply drank a cup of tea, but the signal sent to the outside world was that the military was surrendering to the royal family.
“This is also the little princess’ rash action this time, which has won a little initiative for the royal family.
"The emperor did not blame the little princess. Instead, he comforted her and told her not to go out casually. The ladies-in-waiting and guards were warned that the fake Talisa was transferred to serve the eldest prince. It is estimated that she will become a bargaining chip in the negotiation between the eldest prince and the military."
Yang Ming thought about it for a moment.
He would not let a brief romance that pleased both the host and the guest interfere with his judgment of the situation.
"Fortunately, I had foresight," Yang Ming said with a smile, "We made a total of 1.5 million from the little princess!"
"Still the same?"
"Let's do it the same as before. One million will be invested in the New Federation's stock market, and five hundred thousand will be kept as a reserve fund," Yang Ming said calmly. "The cost of opening the factory can be given to Kolev."
"Boss, your behavior of fleecing your subordinates is really... very much to my heart."
Yang Ming and Lu looked at each other, then chuckled.
Everything they do next will cost money.
Developing an administrative star and building a powerful fleet both require astronomical figures, so we must learn to increase revenue and reduce expenditure from the very beginning.
"But, Boss," Lu asked softly, "what do you think of this little princess?"
"specific?"
"Potential, leadership qualities, that kind of thing."
Yang Ming adjusted the collar of his shirt in front of the mirror, thought for a while, and said slowly: "I know what you mean, Lu. After we have gone through the first assessment, there will be a second and third round. If we can control the entire Luofeng Empire in the future, it will be a great advantage."
"Yes, boss."
"Lv, people's hearts are evil. Human nature is like a beast hiding in the dark, ready to show its fangs . This princess is full of uncertainty."
Yang Ming smiled and continued:
"It is already very difficult to acquire a planet at this stage, let alone operate such a huge force. Let's take the first step first."
"Okay, boss. I have planned two routes based on the current situation of the Luofeng Empire."
A screenshot appeared on Yang Ming's watch.
The first route: military merit.
Taking advantage of Gudunmaha, he quickly rose in the Luofeng Empire Army.
The advantage is that as long as you have money and connections, you can be promoted quickly.
The disadvantage is that you have to work with the military and most likely have to do some dirty work.
Second route: the royal family.
Through the little princess, he got in touch with the unambitious second prince and found a way to embark on a career in officialdom.
The advantage is that the effect may be faster and you can also maintain a high frequency of aristocratic social interaction.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be caught in the crossfire between various forces.
Yang Ming thought carefully for a while, then said slowly: "How about finding a way to get from the royal family into the army?"
Lu was a little confused: "But the royal family and the military are now in opposition."
"Yes," Yang Ming said gently, "but the most urgent matter for the royal family now is probably to take back the military power. If we participate in this process, we can find more opportunities. Lu, you still don't know enough about strategies."
Lu was silent for a while: "It depends on your performance."
"All we need to do now is wait."
Yang Ming did a chest expansion exercise. He felt that his physical fitness had declined a little since he hadn't exercised in the past few days.
He tapped lightly, and a hidden interface appeared on the projection screen in front of him, with a dark red box popping out.
This is the attribute board he designed himself.
…
ID: 0000000001
Character name: Yang Ming
Title: High-dimensional Ancient Ruins Candidate, Secondary Ancient God Lifeform, Wanderer
Occupation: Genetically modified enhanced warrior
Overall strength rating: C (reference: the first stage Valkyrie status is B)
Potential Hazard Level: Ship-Destroying Level (Squad Level, Team Level, Ship-Destroying Level, Legion Level, Planetary Level, Dreadnought Level, Star Level, Divine Envoy Level, Star Cluster Level, Universe Level.)
…
Below the comprehensive strength assessment option, there are various attributes, including strength, agility, and maximum movement speed. There is also an equipment column, and defense equipment such as lightsabers and light shields have all been scored in detail.
Without this thing, Yang Ming always felt like something was missing.
Later, as long as his various indexes improve, the records will be changed by the law.
As for the potential harm level, it was simply copied from "The Abyss".
The Valkyrie's potential index is at the planetary level.
Yang Ming estimated that his current potential was at most at the legion level.
The three high-level thinking entities who claimed to be from a secondary civilization, the Patrolman, the Gravekeeper, and the Examiner, once gave Yang Ming some hints.
After passing the first stage of trials, Yang Ming can independently choose the type of technology he wants to undertake, including the accumulation of technology in the direction of gene fusion.
As long as Yang Ming can obtain new ancient god cells, and then accumulate, digest and absorb these technologies, and create truly usable instruments, it is entirely possible for him to enhance his potential again and transform himself into a human-shaped ancient god.
In short, there is great potential for personal strength in the future.
So far, Yang Ming has gained countless benefits with this strength.
call out!
Yang Ming put away his personal panel and looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile.
"Today is probably another day for house-hunting."
"Boss," Lu said with a smile, "that guy is here again."
"026?"
"Yes, boss," Ritsu said with a smile, "They have prepared a brand new script, and it seems that they are going to carry the character setting of a rich lady to the end."
Yang Ming's expression was a little strange.
He shook his head: "Don't worry about such trivial matters. Keep an eye on the royal family and the military. I still need to find a chance to deal with Gudun Maha."
"Okay boss, remember the safety measures, hehe."
"screw you."
…
When Kolev found Yang Ming in the buffet restaurant, he rushed up to him like the wind and blinked at him several times.
"That person left?"
"Let's go," Yang Ming asked with a smile, "Uncle, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
"Oh, no need, I'll just deal with it casually," said Kolev, picking up the knife and fork next to Yang Ming and starting to share Yang Ming's simple breakfast.
The old man murmured, "See, I said it was a dream."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows but didn't explain much.
"We have to continue looking at factory sites today," Kolev said, "but we have to come back early in the afternoon. I have an appointment with two ladies for afternoon tea."
Yang Ming looked at Kolev's old waist with some suspicion.
Kolev glared at Yang Ming and said, "Don't let me have such wild thoughts. I'm old now. If my daughter knew about this, she would go to her mother's tombstone to lay flowers again."
"Haha," Yang Ming wondered, "Did she really do that?"
"More than once," Kolev spread his hands, "Although she is my daughter, I must admit that her desire for control is sometimes too strong."
At the door, several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes broke in despite the waiter's attempts to stop them.
Behind the bodyguard, a petite figure came walking quickly, wearing high heels and carrying a thin-strap shoulder bag. She rushed towards Yang Ming and Kolev in a hurry, attracting the attention of many guests.
This is a young girl with a nearly perfect figure, elegant makeup, long hair, and slender legs, all of which conform to the current aesthetic trends.
When a man becomes interested in her figure, he will feel a little guilty as soon as he takes a look at her pure and sweet round face.
Kolev looked up and reminded Yang Ming: "Is he here to see you?"
Yang Ming slowly raised his head with some confusion.
026 bit her lip, with a bit of annoyance on her face. Her acting skills had obviously improved a lot compared to yesterday.
"Hello, what's up?"
Yang Ming asked softly and continued to fiddle with the tableware with his head down.
She grabbed the shoulder bag and smashed it hard against Yang Ming's chest. This brand-name shoulder bag didn't carry much power, and it seemed to be a pure release of catharsis...
Face the wind!
Yang Ming swung his right arm reflexively, and slammed the back of his hand on the shoulder bag with a snap, causing the bag to fly backwards at several times the speed!
boom!
026 was hit by the shoulder bag and fell backwards, sitting on the ground. He felt dizzy, with a large red mark on his forehead and tears immediately formed at the corners of his eyes.
Yang Ming didn't expect that his unintentional attack would be so heavy.
Two thoughts flashed through his mind, and he felt that this might be an opportunity, so he quickly stood up and walked forward nervously.
"What happened? I didn't expect you to give me such a good shot. I play hand-bats... Oh, I'm so sorry. I think we should go to the hospital!"
Hospital?
026 immediately became alert.
She endured the severe pain and shook her head quickly.
If she goes to the hospital and has blood tests, the drugs she used will be exposed!
Yang Ming said, "We must go to the hospital, ma'am. To express my guilt, I will bear all your expenses."
Obviously, his conversation with 026 was transmitted to Kalmi's ears through the bug on 026's button.
The bodyguards rushed over and started shouting at Yang Ming.
"Let my lady go!"
"You bastard! What did you do to our young lady!?"
Kalmi wants to take back 026?
Yang Ming smiled secretly in his heart and asked in a low voice: "They are your bodyguards, not plainclothes police, right?"
"Yes, yes," 026 said pitifully with a red and swollen forehead.
Yang Ming stood up, calmly took off his suit jacket and threw it into the empty chair next to Kolev.
The grey suit pants and grey vest make him look more upright.
Yang Ming moved his wrists and neck.
Kolev immediately showed an excited expression and stuffed himself with a big bite of sausage.
The bodyguards looked at each other.
Yang Ming hooked his finger and said with a smile: "I hate people yelling at me, especially some domesticated vicious dogs."
The bodyguards were immediately furious and rushed forward with their fists clenched.
026 subconsciously covered his mouth.
However, Yang Ming had already dodged nimbly and simply kneed the bodyguard in the front in the abdomen.
The movements are natural and smooth, leaving most of the energy to spare.
