Chapter 131 Big Liar Li Xiaochou
Chapter 131 Big Liar Li Xiaochou
"What, you want to increase the budget again? Lao Li, you and Lao Ke are almost emptying the group." Ma Tian was speechless in the office of the chairman of Tiantianhao Group. In recent times, I don't know how much money these two old foxes have asked for.
Even though his Tiantianhao Group is one of the largest multinational corporations with total assets exceeding one trillion yuan, it cannot withstand the withdrawal of such a large cash flow.
Seeing that Ma Tian was resisting, Li Xiaochou immediately explained: "Mr. Ma, Oxer was infected by the Zangbo virus, and now the virus has taken shape..."
But before he finished, Ma Tian lost his patience and interrupted, "I don't care about viruses or not, Oxer or anything like that, I just want money. Lao Li, how is the progress of the vaccine?"
Now that things have come to this, Li Xiaochou has to show some sincerity to stabilize Ma Tian, the cash cow, as the funds for virus research still depend on him.
“Mr. Ma, I assure you that we will speed up the research on the virus and the development of vaccines.
However, such a huge budget not only includes the cost of viruses and vaccines, but also the development funds for the PICKER chip that collects viruses.
I am helpless too, Mr. Ma, we are short of manpower, and there is only one Piccolo at the moment."
After Li Xiaochou expressed his position, he immediately began to explain his reasons, and every word he spoke sounded very logical.
Faced with Li Xiaochou's explanation, although Ma Tian knew that Mr. Li would not tell him everything, but thinking that he had already invested so much in the virus and armor, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to pay.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. You'll spread the virus and I'll sell the vaccine. Haha..."
As he spoke, Ma Tian began to fantasize about his business empire, and even...
Seeing Ma Tian's expression, Li Xiaochou knew that the time was almost right, and immediately said: "Mr. Ma, after the vaccine sells well, your wealth will indeed be enough to rival a country and rule the world.
However, kings of all generations are restricted by their lifespans and cannot rule the world forever. If you want to break free from this limitation, you need to evolve.
The theory of the sadomasochism virus turning people into Oxer is also a kind of evolution, Mr. Ma..." However, Li Xiaochou was very smart and he did not finish his words at once.
“Well… you guys who do scientific research always have wild imaginations, but I, Ma Tian, only care about wealth.
By the way, what's going on with Qingshan recently? Why doesn't he have the summoner? "Ma Tian said he only wanted money, but he was actually tempted. As they chatted, he asked about Ma Qingshan again.
Little Li at the side said, "Boss Ma, as far as I know, the eldest young master was unwell, so he gave the summoner to the eldest young lady, who then gave it to someone named Duanmu Yan."
Hearing this name, Ma Tian and Li Xiaochou were shocked. This little bastard actually got the armor.
"Duanmu Gushang's son, Mr. Ma, you see..." Li Xiaochou only said half of it, but the meaning was already very clear, whether to take action against him or not.
Hearing this, Ma Tian remained silent, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then waved his hand. His meaning was also obvious. After all, this was the orphan of an old classmate, so he would wait and see.
……
"Isn't that enough? I have been accumulating the foundation for four years, but there is still no sign of opening up the sea of qi to build the foundation of the Tao. Is this the shackles of the tenth level of Qi Refining and wanting to have no time to build the foundation? I am afraid it is more difficult than ordinary cultivators breaking through the Golden Core Realm..."
In the system training space, Li Chen sat cross-legged on the stage and muttered to himself.
Four years have passed since he entered the tenth level of Qi Refining in the great battle with the black demon beast four years ago. During these four years, Li Chen has been constantly absorbing energy and accumulating his foundation, while also comprehending the power of many laws.
Now, he has an extremely profound foundation, and even his aura is comparable to that of a person in the middle stage of foundation building.
In addition to the nine laws of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, yin and yang, after a battle with the ultimate shadow beast, Li Chen was also inspired and comprehended the law of space.
Except for the law of space which is too difficult and his comprehension is still at the third level (late Jindan stage), Li Chen has comprehended the other nine laws and powers to perfection (peak Jindan stage) and has touched the threshold of controlling the laws.
This level of understanding of the laws is usually only seen by those peerless geniuses when they are at the peak of the Golden Core stage or even half a step into the Nascent Soul stage.
However, even so, Li Chen still couldn't break through the foundation-building stage, which was truly incredible.
"Does it mean that we can only settle for the next best thing and build the Heavenly Rank Foundation?" Li Chen said unwillingly.
When a cultivator breaks through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, his Tao foundation can have several qualities: incomplete, yellow level, mysterious level, earth level, heaven level and the strongest flawless foundation.
Those who are not good at it will only stay in the initial stage of foundation building for their entire lives. Those at the Huang level have no hope of breaking through to the Jindan level. Those at the Xuan level have a chance to break through the Jindan bottleneck. Those at the Di level will definitely break through to the Jindan level and have a chance to impact the Yuanying level.
The Heavenly Stage is recognized as the strongest foundation-building stage, and is bound to break through the Nascent Soul stage and reach a higher level. And the ethereal and illusory flawlessness that has always been there is the Immortal Fate...
"I just don't believe that flawless foundation building really only exists in legends." Li Chen said fiercely to himself.
However, after four years of dedicated practice, Li Chen did gain something.
With his current foundation and understanding of the laws, let alone a half-step golden elixir (quasi-king level), even a late-stage golden elixir would be enough to fight, the only difference being that the consumption would be greater.
"Ding! The main quest "Thunder Shines in the World" is officially launched. The overall quest goal is to stop the violent insects from invading the earth. Additional quest: Change Duanmu Yan's path to becoming a strong man.
The story mission "Forging the Molten Flame" was released. Duanmu Yan encountered the cold-blooded Piccolo for the first time and was not strong enough.
Mission objective: To teach Duanmu Yan as a senior and make him stronger. "
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Li Chen's eyes lit up. This broken system has been silent for several years. It finally has something to do.
hum...
Li Chen's figure flashed and left the system space.
Without saying a word, Li Chen came to the Happy House Ramen Restaurant. According to the time, the second Oxer should be appearing soon. It was also the first time that Duanmu Yan encountered Leng Xue.
"It's you, brother. What flavor of noodles do you want to eat this time?" Ma Lingling recognized Li Chen as soon as he entered the ramen restaurant.
Ma Lingling, who was still struggling with the matter of Ma Qingshan coming to ask her about the summoner, immediately entered the working state. Ma Lingling recognized Li Chen, the person she and Duanmu met last time.
However, when Li Chen heard himself being called "big brother", he was speechless. He was only 21 years old, so why not just call him "brother"? What the hell was "big brother"?
"Well, it's me. Let's have the chopped pepper fish head flavor this time." Li Chen said after thinking for a while.
After a while, the ramen was brought out from the kitchen. Li Chen ate it with relish, while Duanmu in the kitchen leaned against the wall. It was his first time making ramen in Happy House, and he was not familiar with the process, so he was very busy and exhausted.
At the dining table, Li Chen had just put down his clean bowl when he saw Shi Lei and the cursing Xiao Mi walk in. Ling Ling saw this and quickly brought two glasses of water over, then asked the reason.
"Really? How could there be such a person? This Liu Hai insisted that it was Yu Li and Wang Tian who did it. We have interrogated them and they have no alibi.
But he is a friend of the director's nephew, and he insisted that those two were the ones who set his house on fire, so there is nothing we can do about it." Shi Lei also echoed Xiao Mi.
Hearing this, Duanmu and Lingling came over immediately. Before they could say a few words, Lingling thought of something and immediately proposed to go to the cinema where Wang Tianyuli was that night to investigate. However, Shi Lei and Xiao Mi didn't want to move at all and planned to slack off.
"You guys can go by yourselves. I'm so tired. Our special case investigation team is here specifically to monitor events related to Oxer..." Shi Lei complained to himself.
Then when he looked up again, he found that neither Duanmu, Lingling nor Li Chen had disappeared.
Of course, Duanmu and Lingling went to investigate the case, but Li Chen was not interested. He went there to find an opportunity to complete the mission. If it weren't for the mission, he would not even bother to do this little dish himself.
Following them all the way to the cinema, Li Chen discovered two hiding people. However, in his eyes, these two were no different from naked runners, and his spiritual sense detection allowed him to detect their whereabouts clearly.
"Are you sure he bumped into you on purpose?" Lingling and Duanmu were asking the cleaner at this time.
"I'm very sure that it was Yu Li who deliberately bumped into me..." The cleaner became more and more excited. Who wouldn't be depressed if encountering such a thing? Fortunately, he didn't have to pay any compensation.
As the two were talking, Duanmu suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at the corner by the wall and shouted, "Hey! Who's there?"
In the corner, Yu Li, seeing that he was exposed, made up his mind and ran out of the cinema hall. Duanmu and Ma Lingling followed him on their bikes. Li Chen glanced at Leng Xue who was also chasing after him, and he followed him.
This is the third time Duanmu Yan has summoned armor, and Li Chen wants to see how his strength has improved.
"It's Oxer, Duanmu, be careful." The two chased all the way to the square of a gymnasium, and Oxer, who looked a bit like a lizard, just stood there.
"Lingling, you hide aside. Flame Nawa..." Duanmu Yan summoned the armor without saying a word.
boom!
Flames burned fiercely on Nawa's fists. Two molten fists hit the lizard Oxer, causing the opponent to take several steps back in pain.
"Don't block my way, you damn Molten Flame!" The lizard Oxer also recognized the Molten Flame power contained in Nawa. He roared and summoned a mace, swung it around and smashed it at Nawa.
"Molten flame defense! Fierce flame attack!" Unexpectedly, Nawa's attack and defense repelled it twice in a row, and it couldn't even get close to Nawa.
Although he was only at the peak of the middle general level, Nawa did not give the lizard Oxer any chance at all when facing its chaotic moves. The difference between their realms was not big, but the result was that the former suppressed the latter.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The lizard Oxer roared, picked up the mace and smashed it hard on Nava's breastplate, but as a price, it was also blasted away by a fierce flame attack.
"Molten Flame Spiral Fist!" This is not a sure-kill move, but a simplified version of an elemental combat skill that Nawa quickly launches, with a power comparable to that of the Fierce Flame Slash.
After three consecutive punches, the lizard Oxer fell to the ground and rolled over. Nawa took advantage of the victory and summoned the Molten Scale Blade, suddenly swinging out the Fierce Flame Slash, and it seemed that Oxer was about to collapse.
