Chapter 1319 - 666: Before the Storm (Part 2)
Such an awkward positioning is destined to leave it as nothing more than a decoration, a luxury.
Is it useful?
Yes, but not much.
Is it useless?
You can't say that either, what if?
"What if one day it actually comes in handy?"
Old Dragon laughed: "Once a Chosen One has this thought, they've already walked onto the path they preset... just like how many people carry multi-functional knives they'll never use.
Compared to the watch, this safety between the lines of existence is what he truly wants to sell. And those who really find it indispensable, it's not even the Chosen Ones!"
For a moment, Andel's eyes widened.
Finally, the realization dawned.
"You're saying... it's the ordinary people related to the Chosen Ones?"
"Look, a dial that can display rank fools everyone. What a beautiful feint to strike where least expected." Old Dragon chuckled softly: "The registered classification isn't alchemy creations, but the remodeling of antiques and curios... The large-scale selling of alchemy creations requires the Association's approval, but the remodeling of antiques and curios has too many loopholes in the regulations.
If I hadn't noted this, I fear I'd have been misled too.
Hey, young people these days are truly frightening!"
All the features of the Sun Dial Watch—the ability to constantly monitor one's condition, display the surrounding mutation index, gradually absorb one's own spiritual essence for storage, and slowly restore spiritual essence...
These features are good, but unfortunately, they're also quite ordinary and can't result in any qualitative transformation.
Not particularly useful.
Because almost every Chosen One possesses these capabilities.
So much so, very few people realize that when wearing this watch, anyone can be considered half a Chosen One...
Being able to store one's spiritual essence and mobilize this power without hindrance means they can use Blessed Creations!
And even complete Upper-level Summoning with it...
For the Chosen Ones, it's merely a small enhancement, but for ordinary people, it's limitless possibilities, opening the gateway to power.
But does it bring transformation or chaos?
Old Dragon chuckled silently.
"Just wait and see, this time, someone is going to have very bad luck..."
.
.
"How could this happen?"
Inside Vision Workshop, the old craftsman had collapsed into his chair, incredulous: "Master Hu, how could this happen!! We... we were just..."
"Hmm?"
The amiable voice on the other end of the phone grew cold: "Previously, you sought connections to ask me for help, and now, at this point, you blame me? What's going on here?"
The old craftsman mumbled, unable to speak.
What else is there to say? What the hell can be said!
By now, it's very clear they've been played?!
Inquiry meeting?
What the hell is an inquiry meeting?!
Everyone came to you for support just to limit Ji Jue's product, to secure a piece of their own market. Once divided properly, everyone could sit down and share the profits!
Now, you're directly tearing it apart?
Moreover, risking a lifetime of achievements, it's especially them who must charge into battle...
Even thinking with your heels, it's already clear you've been inexplicably dragged into the Association's internal struggles!
"Don't worry, I've talked to everyone." The voice on the other end softened again: "Everyone will support you, Director Zhu is also paying attention to this.
Be spirited, Old Sun, he's one of our transformation series masters, don't lose face when the time comes."
In a moment of fuzziness, Sun Shicheng's mind flashed with lightning, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
Even with a hunched posture, his expression slowly resolidified.
"I..."
His voice paused momentarily, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, "I understand, except I am insignificant and have a weak voice..."
"..."
The voice on the other end seemed to laugh: "Don't worry, Old Sun, your years of toil for our faction are well-recognized, it's time you step forward."
Sun Shicheng didn't speak, who can't draw a pie?
After a pause almost imperceptible, the voice continued: "Hmm, let me see, your project's report, I've read it. It's very good and has great potential.
Opportunities are rare, seize it, Old Sun."
"Oh, thank you, all thanks to your guidance."
In the unremarkable conversation, the tacit transaction was already completed.
The call ended.
Sun Shicheng was silent, looking at the watch on the table, his expression changed.
The opportunity he dreamed of all his life was right in front of him.
Just need to bet once...
For a long time, he suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"Fate decides everything, hardly any part by one's self."
.
.
As if nothing happened.
Pretending not to notice the undercurrents within the Association, nor the messages from peers, Coast Technology continued to operate.
The selling of the Sun Dial was still orderly, neither too cold nor heated.
"Did you already plan this?" Lou Feng suddenly asked.
"Ah? Plan what?"
Ji Jue looked back at him, bewildered, then realized, and sighed helplessly: "You're overthinking it, Old Lou. Who would idly look for trouble with peers when they can live peacefully?"
"Obviously, it's you!"
Lou Feng sneered, pretending to be innocent, damn it, would I not know you?!
Raising waves without wind, feeling uncomfortable without causing trouble for a day. For months without incident, it's been brewing for this big one, the product not yet released, probably already scheming how to kill and bury!
