"President Jiang, I don't want any special privileges. I just want to be an ordinary citizen.
To have my own business, earn a little money, and be able to fill my stomach. To have a small family, have children, and carry on the family line.
As for matters within the system, I don't want to care and I'm unwilling to bother with them," Guo Xuyang stated his attitude directly.
"Alright. If they find you, you can tell them this. I don't think they will make things difficult for you.
At that time, they might take you for some tests to see what special abilities you have and what level you've reached.
They will also tell you some precautions. Overall, it shouldn't be a big problem," Jiang Qixin said.
"If they ask you if you are willing to accept their arrangements and provide assistance to the organization, you'd better agree to provide assistance.
At the same time, state your conditions and requirements.
If you refuse, it might not be good for your business.
You might not know how much power these people wield, but for them, it's incredibly easy to push you to a dead end.
You can consider my suggestion."
"Thank you for your concern, President Jiang. I will keep that in mind."
"Then that's settled, I won't keep you any longer."
"Okay, President Jiang. Goodbye."
Guo Xuyang bid farewell to Jiang Qixin and went downstairs with Lü Liang.
Ilena was still waiting for them in the underground parking lot.
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay," Lü Liang said to Ilena.
The three of them found a star-rated hotel and checked in.
"Yangzi, what did they want with you?" Ilena asked, lying beside Guo Xuyang.
"Nothing."
"I saw that Lü Liang seemed very serious. It won't be bad for you, right?"
"No. Someone might come looking for me in the next couple of days. When I'm not around, you can just stay with Lü Liang."
"Mm."
Perhaps because of the matter at hand, Ilena didn't tease Guo Xuyang and fell asleep shortly after.
Guo Xuyang hadn't expected Li Ziyu's backing to be so powerful, and that they would find him so quickly.
He was filled with curiosity about the Fourteenth Bureau.
"Yu'er, are you there?" Guo Xuyang asked silently.
"I am, Master," Yu'er's gentle voice replied.
Hmm, the voice had changed. The soft childish voice had become a gentle one.
Guo Xuyang couldn't help but focus his gaze inward, and saw a beautiful girl, about eighteen years old, looking at him with a smile.
"You are Yu'er? You've grown so much?"
"It was the gold and diamonds Master collected that helped me grow."
"That's great. I need to hurry up and process this gold so you can come out sooner."
"Master, please don't process this gold for now. I've been carefully observing this aircraft during this period, and it seems some things inside require the use of this gold."
"What about the diamonds?"
"These diamonds cannot be processed either. I see Kasa and his companions need these."
"Then you won't be able to come out?"
"I can, Master. You can find other ways. Earning a hundred billion is very easy, and besides, you don't need the full hundred billion to upgrade now."
She made it sound so simple, but where would he earn that much money?
He needed to quickly make arrangements at the Myanmar shop and see if he could extract more from there.
"Yu'er, help me upgrade my Life Ability."
"Ding... Congratulations Master, your Life Ability upgrade is successful. Your Life Ability is now Level One." Yu'er's voice sounded in his mind.
"I can decompose, reinforce, and reshape any life within a hundred meters."
"Yu'er, help me upgrade my Combat Ability."
"Ding... Congratulations Master, your Combat Ability upgrade is successful. Your Combat Ability is now Level One." Yu'er's voice sounded in his mind.
"I can use driving, boxing, swordsmanship, sabersmanship, ghost control, Taoism, escape, tracking, assassination, stealth assassination, shooting, high-altitude walking, and more."
"High-altitude walking?"
"Yes, Master. You can try walking in the air. You just need to let go of your consciousness. The air is like water."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Guo Xuyang consciously lifted his body, then slowly spread his arms.
Indeed, he gradually lifted off the bed and floated up.
He was truly floating.
Fearing he might disturb Ilena, he stretched out his arms like he was swimming on his back and glided.
He floated around the room once and returned to the bed.
"That's amazing, Yu'er. I wonder what other skills I'll unlock in the future?"
"This requires you to continuously upgrade. The surprises are all in the future. You should rest early, Master."
"Thank you for your hard work, Yu'er."
"It's not hard. I will protect you."
Guo Xuyang was now focused on earning money to upgrade. He didn't know what he would become in the end.
But he knew that with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
The next day, Guo Xuyang woke up to Ilena's excitement. The little vixen was happily bouncing around, her ample bosom catching his eye.
With a roar, he charged like a cavalry, overwhelming the enemy until they were in disarray.
Today was strange; he didn't feel the usual exhaustion but instead felt energetic and spirited.
Could it be the upgrade of his Life Ability?
He couldn't figure it out.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. As long as the hoe is wielded well, no corner can't be dug.
Especially since he had dug this corner countless times before.
By the time he went out, it was almost noon.
He drove Ilena and Lü Liang to the entrance of Pi Xiaoqian's Kyoto Ruixiang Jade Specialty Store.
Pi Xiaoqian was leisurely sipping tea on the second floor. Upon hearing the sound of a car, he ran downstairs.
"Brother, leave two of those stones you cut here for me. Help me increase my store's popularity."
"What's going on?" Guo Xuyang asked as he walked into the store with Pi Xiaoqian.
"Word has spread this morning that Treasure Pavilion has a string of exquisite purple grapes, priced at 1.5 billion.
I figured it was from the raw stones you placed in President Wu's car that day, so I went to check.
Who knew President Wu was so ungracious, saying everything you mentioned was sold in his store, and he wouldn't give me even one."
Guo Xuyang finally understood that the sculptor had already carved out that well-shaped purple jade.
"I can't make that decision. The item is with him. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to ask him to give it to you.
Don't you think so?
If I remember correctly, he also has a piece of seven-colored jade.
Why don't you go find him again and see if he'll give it to you?"
"That's probably not going to happen. He definitely won't give me that one."
"Isn't it noon now? Why don't you invite him for lunch?"
"Right! You must put in a good word for me then."
"No problem."
Pi Xiaoqian picked up his phone and dialed.
"President Wu, are you done? Shall we have lunch together?
Don't refuse just yet. Brother Guo is here with me, along with Brother Liang and Ilena.
Uh, should I come to pick you up, or will you come here? Alright, we'll wait for you to come."
Pi Xiaoqian hung up the phone and said, "President Wu will be here soon."
Before he finished speaking, two more people walked in from outside – Li Minxi and Su Ran.
