Chapter 874: Gu Li’s New Job
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Look at how scared you are, even if there’s radiation, we are not ordinary people, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Alright, stop messing around!"
Just as Ling Feng’s voice fell, Ling Yao’s voice came through.
Afterward, she and Long Xiaoyu walked from the entrance and came straight up to the Yuan Force Gemstone.
Both of them looked down, exchanged glances, and then Long Xiaoyu said, "The blue gemstone inside this rock is actually a primordial energy from the Chaos period of heaven and earth."
"Oh? Then why can it kill people?" Ling Feng asked.
"Can only say that the people who died were out of luck, caught up in the tide effect!" Long Xiaoyu said.
At this moment, the women crowded around, and Ling Feng asked with curiosity, "What’s this tide effect about?"
Long Xiaoyu: "When the moon is closer, it causes the rivers and oceans to have a tide effect, and it’s the same with the energy here. The people who died before were definitely caught up in an energy outburst due to the tide effect, resulting in their meridians being unable to withstand it and dying."
"Then leaving it here, won’t the next tide effect day harm our own people?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
However, Long Xiaoyu shook her head, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen. This place isn’t affected by the tide effect. Haven’t you seen that the oceans of The Fifth Layer and Sixth Layer have never experienced rising tides?"
"That’s true, there really hasn’t been!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Mm, so just leave it here. With this, I might be able to shorten the duration of your evolution in the future to five months," Long Xiaoyu said.
Ling Feng was taken aback: "Halve the time?"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, so this is a good thing, you’ve found a treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was overjoyed: "That’s great!"
But soon he became puzzled again, "How did this Yuan Force gemstone appear in Mianluo Country?"
"That’s unclear, it’s a matter of ancient times, I don’t know much either. Probably, it’s scattered everywhere. There’s more than one of these gemstones, you should collect more when you encounter them in the future, they’re beneficial for you!" Long Xiaoyu said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, I’ll pay attention to that!"
The energy contained within the Yuan Force Gemstone was actually primal force from the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, much purer than Spiritual Energy. Of course, he would treasure it like a precious gem!
Collecting more of these gemstones would naturally make cultivation progress like riding a rocket, which is precisely what Ling Feng needed most at the moment!
After some discussion, Ling Feng left the Yuan Force Gemstone in the Nine Heavens and then teleported back to the hotel in Guo City.
The Teleportation Array here was planned to be installed inside the hotel. That way, it would be convenient for everyone to come and go in the future when expanding business operations in Mianluo Country.
Seeing that it was nearly evening, Ling Feng called Liya and told her about his decision.
Liya on the other end was naturally very happy, so she immediately prepared to hold a celebration banquet and also wanted to sign a paper agreement with Ling Feng.
Of course, the content of the agreement did not specify how Ling Feng would care for the livelihood and safety of Mianluo Country’s people in the future, but rather regarding Ling Corporation’s intention to develop in the area.
As for this, Ling Feng hadn’t thought it through yet, so he declined Liya’s proposal, but still agreed to attend the banquet.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng’s eyes rolled, and he thought of someone.
So, he made another call to Gu Li and after getting through, asked, "How about, do you want to follow me from now on?"
"Huh?"
Gu Li on the other end was directly dumbfounded by the question and after a moment of silence said, "Of course, would Mr. Ling give me this opportunity?"
"If I wasn’t willing, I wouldn’t have called you. Come to the hotel now, I’m going to take you to a place later!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Okay, give me five minutes!"
Gu Li was extremely excited upon hearing the news and immediately hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, he was standing excitedly at the doorway of Ling Feng’s room.
"Come with me to a banquet tonight, there will be benefits for you!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Are we heading to the Royal Palace?" Gu Li asked.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "How do you know that?"
"Heh, Mr. Ling had already visited in the morning, probably discussed some important matters with the Princess. If you’re going again in the evening, it must mean that the negotiations were successful, right?" Gu Li speculated.
"I really didn’t misjudge you!"
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s correct, the negotiations were successful. My Ling Corporation will soon be expanding its business to Mianluo Country!"
"Great, I’ll definitely not shirk any opportunity to contribute where I’m needed!" said Gu Li immediately.
But Ling Feng laughed, "You don’t need to get involved with the company matters. What I want is for you to enter the government departments of Mianluo Country, or even better, set up an intelligence network or something!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Li was dumbfounded, his eyes widening as he asked, "Why, why would I do that?"
"I feel your talents lie in intelligence. This is how you can best utilize your strengths!" Ling Feng explained.
"But, but I’m just an ordinary person. It’s not that easy to get into a government institution!" Gu Li said.
"Don’t worry about that, I will take you to the Royal Palace tonight. There will likely be many government officials there, and I’ll introduce you then!" Ling Feng assured him.
"Okay then."
Gu Li didn’t expect to be given such importance and was so touched he didn’t know what to say.
As night fell, Ling Feng and his party took a car to the Royal Palace, where countless lights were already illuminating the banquet hall as if it were daytime.
Liya was dressed to the nines for the occasion, in an elegant white evening gown that suited her regal and graceful demeanor, making her seem like a Heavenly Immortal descending to earth.
Next to Ling Feng, Li Fei’er and Feng Ling were not to be outdone; both were also dressed in evening gowns, and immediately started chatting affectionately with Liya as they got out of the car.
Gu Li, in his suit, stood beside Ling Feng with slightly sweaty palms.
He saw that the scene included not just government officials but even the Prime Minister of Mianluo Country!
To think that this was the man who held the reins of national policy, economy, and military power! The thought that these people were all here because of Ling Feng made Gu Li feel a sense of pride, thinking his boss was indeed a strong figure!
That evening, Ling Feng was attending the dinner as the President of Ling Corporation, and only a few people at the venue knew his true identity.
After Feng Ling’s introduction, Liya said to Ling Feng, "Before the banquet starts, why don’t we sit down in the meeting room for a bit?"
"Sure!"
Ling Feng nodded and turned back to Gu Li, "Let’s go, follow me!"
"Ah? Is that appropriate?" Gu Li’s eyes widened.
"Of course, it’s appropriate!"
Ling Feng smiled and introduced to Liya, "This is my friend. He was a private detective in Guo City, but now, I’m thinking of arranging a new position for him!"
"Good, then let’s all go to the meeting room to talk!"
Liya smiled and took the lead into the castle.
