Chapter 115 Bloodthirsty Madness
In recent years, Lei Wuye has lived a secluded life and rarely appears in public. He spends most of his time in his own fishing village by the sea, living in seclusion.
He looks calm and composed, like a hermit from this world, but in fact his desire for power has not diminished in the slightest.
From his picturesque retreat, he still remotely controls the operation of his industries, issues orders, and makes decisions through various means. It is like the visible shackles have become invisible reins, wrapped around the necks of every person who does not want to see the light.
The last time he appeared was a few months ago at the inauguration ceremony of the new governor. At that time, the citizen representative Mr. Lei Wuye shook hands with the governor and smiled in front of the camera.
But after such a short period of time, the person was already admitted to the ICU.
It was totally unbelievable for a moment.
But at the same time it was too bizarre, it seemed to have some credibility.
What’s even more bizarre is that such fatal news spread like wildfire for some unknown reason!
Overnight, everyone knew that something bad had happened and Lei Wuye was going to die, which made people feel uneasy and confused.
Logically speaking, if an old man dies, then what's the big deal?
After all, Lei Wuye had been working in the dark side of Yacheng for so many years, it would be ridiculous to say that he had done many good deeds. He was full of sins, and although he was not completely evil, he deserved to die.
After eating the edamame, Wen Wen waved and asked people to come over and open champagne to celebrate.
Good death, wonderful death, the dead governor is so sad!
Like a meow!
Even if he didn't die, if Wen Wen couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the door and resigned one day, she might go to Lao Deng's house and squeeze him like a plastic bubble wrap to vent her anger.
However, he will not be the only one to die.
When a whale dies, all things come to life. This is truly a virtue, but few people can do such a thing that will benefit generations to come.
As for some tumors that emit a foul smell, once they burst, pus and maggots will crawl all over the ground, which is frowning.
This is why Department One called Department Two.
The director is away, and the head of the first department, Tong Shan, and the deputy director are in charge. The deputy director has also been away for many years and has been out of sight, so the power has fallen into the hands of Tong Shan. It can be said that the eldest son of the Tong family in Yacheng is now the de facto acting director of the Security Bureau.
After answering the phone call, Wen Wen will start running errands starting tomorrow. As usual, she will go and give a lecture to the leaders of all the associations in Beishan District - don't go too far, if the dirty stuff leaks to the streets, no one will be in trouble.
Among the 19 major cities in the Federation, each one has its own merits and demerits, and the amount of wealth in each city naturally varies.
Located in the southernmost part of the Federation, Yacheng City has average local industries, but the profits from import and export trade are enough to support countless parasites.
Electronic products, weapons, luxury goods, and even banned drugs...
Just imagine how much profit is hidden in the many fishing villages and secret ports scattered along the coastline. It is simply a flowing river of gold. How many people would be tempted?
When one Lei Wuye dies, the next Lei Wuye will stand up.
But why can’t the next Lei Wuye be me?
As an organization covering the dark side of the whole world, it goes without saying that Huangji is complex and huge. The twelve leaders are high above, like dragons, controlling the clouds and rain, making the snakes bow their heads and follow them.
But how many people dare not even think about rising and changing like a dragon? However, the position of the snake is so high and powerful that it is enough to confuse people's minds.
The person in charge of Huangji is the real local tyrant.
The person in charge of the dark side of Yacheng.
In theory, he came to uphold justice and prevent the two sides from getting into a fight.
After all, the leaders can't always rack their brains every day to figure out whether it's appropriate to open an extra stall on which street in Yacheng.
The leader is either the most powerful White Deer Celestial Being in the world, or the boss behind the scenes who secretly controls several regions or cities, or the uncrowned king who controls the shipping routes between the Thousand Islands and can easily bankrupt any small country...
Before becoming the leader, he went through life and death and worked very hard. Now that he has to work very hard again, then isn't it a waste of time to become the leader?
Therefore, local officials are the tools that come into being in this situation.
Equivalent to the general manager of the local department of Huangji.
In Huangji, they are second only to the leader, but in Yacheng, they are definitely above ten thousand people.
As long as one skillfully uses this power and reputation, even an unarmed person can tame a powerful dragon and settle all cross-line struggles in the dark with a single word.
Not to mention the money that has turned into numbers and the almost unlimited authority downward.
Generally speaking, for such an important position, there will always be an heir even if the person in charge encounters an unexpected event.
But this old dog Lei Wuye adopted fourteen godchildren in his life, promised each of them a task in a certain area, and then let them check and balance each other, so that he could sit back and relax.
After all, the way of Bai Lu is like this. There are many loyal dogs, but there are even more ungrateful wolves. It is common for younger brothers to kill their bosses after they become powerful, and it is useless to worship any number of second brothers.
He was so good at this that once he let go, no one could control the situation anymore and they all became a mess. In the long-term conflicts and the gaps that came with them, they even regarded each other as enemies.
Lei Wuye is not dead yet. As soon as he was admitted to the ICU, the great achievements he created began to fall apart and were about to become a murderous act.
I really don’t know whether the old face under the oxygen mask is angry or panicked at this moment?
Maybe, before he died, everything he cared about would no longer belong to him.
By then, Wen Wen would find the look of death with eyes open ridiculous and pathetic.
But when she thought of the many struggles and innocent people that would be implicated, she couldn't help but want to rush over and grind the old man to ashes.
Look what you've done!
"When can we kill all these rubbish?"
She raised her head with emotion and drank the liquor of celebration and lamentation in one gulp.
When Lei Wuye loses the deer, everyone involved will start a frantic chase.
In other words, the hungry, never-satiated ferocious deer, disgusted with Lei Wuye's staleness, has begun to look for the next sacrifice among countless prey...
The dark side of Yacheng is about to become chaotic.
"It's another bloody storm."
Wen Wen raised her head and looked at the dark sky. The sky was filled with dark clouds and the moon and stars could no longer be seen.
"Fuck, what kind of bloody storm is this..."
The next morning, Ji Jue looked at the homework that had doubled in size, wailing as his eyes went dark. Even the sun that had just risen in the sky became dim.
The world is gloomy.
According to Professor Ye's instructions, since you have taken a whole day off, you should find time to catch up on the progress.
In view of Ji Jue's subjective initiative, supervision and review are unnecessary. But if you don't do exercises for one day, you will know it yourself. If you don't read books for two days, Professor Ye will definitely know it. By then, you may have to add another spiritual attack and defense class in the evening.
If you can't bear the hardship of studying, why bother yourself with being punched?
Ye Chun saw it all and had nothing to say about this weird teacher-student relationship.
After all, such an unrestrained way of managing and training apprentices can only be described as a rare flower in the entire craftsman world.
In an ordinary workshop, an apprentice with no advantages, little money at home and average ability is no different from a social animal every day. He punches in the morning and gets off work in the evening. When he has paid the tuition, he helps the craftsman. If he is in a good mood, he will teach you a few words. If he is in a bad mood, even if he gives you a big bag, you can only go home and drop your little pearls quietly.
Or the students who are gifted, talented, and most favored by the teacher are often brought around, listening to the teacher's teachings all the time, and studying hard every day, from entry to entry. Only after they become new craftsmen can they enjoy other flattery, respect, and hooks.
But Ji Jue is neither of them.
To say that he values it, he really does. He is willing to tell Ji Jue everything he knows. As long as he has time, Professor Ye has never refused Ji Jue's questions and doubts, not to mention Fei Gong's clues and the inheritance of the dissociation technique.
You could say he didn't care about the student, and was indeed a bit indifferent, because after Professor Ye taught the basics and pointed out the direction, he just left him alone and continued to busy himself with his own project, throwing the student into the warehouse and the library, leaving him to play with the switch on his own.
He didn't care about progress or results, and didn't care about any trouble he got into outside or being locked by a sniper. As a result, he was obviously a domesticated apprentice, but he managed to create a kind of wild beauty.
But both of them were enjoying themselves and didn't care about anything else.
"You already have the basics of the elements of ascension. As for the purification part, you have your own understanding of fluid alchemy, so it is enough for now. You can make up for it later."
After reading Ji Jue's reading notes, Professor Ye slowly said, "The next direction we should focus on is 'Concentration and Transformation', which is your real weakness. In addition to practicing the Dissociation Technique, you should spend the rest of your time reading this part of the material first."
The four elements of modern alchemy are ascension, transmutation, purification and harmony.
Ascension refers to giving matter spiritual qualities, like turning stone into gold, making it closer to the nature of goodness so that it can accommodate blessings.
Purification is to make the properties of things purer, screen out impurities, shield interference, so that it can infinitely transition and evolve in the purest direction.
Harmony is the unification of all components, allowing multiple spiritual circuits, structures and blessings of the Supreme Good to be completely integrated into a whole.
Transformation, on the other hand, is the process of activating multiple materials and blessings to transform into a completely new state.
In short, to use the card players' favorite word, it's called 'fusion'.
But when two things are put together, how and when they merge, which one has more or less, the different time, altitude and location, the strength of the magnetic field and even the character of the person... there will be huge changes.
Even though modern alchemy already has infinite formulas and this number will further expand and increase every year through various explorations, it is still far from enough.
Memorizing by rote is no longer useful to a certain extent. Every craftsman should have his or her own unique understanding and feelings in this process.
Accumulate experience through a lot of practice and attempts, and then let your instinct and perception tell you what to do and when.
At the same time... this is also the most expensive place, no doubt about it.
It is easy to get started with Ascension, but it is extremely difficult to improve. The purification steps are complicated and require careful operation. The coordination requires overall control of everything, so that each component can work together without interfering with each other. These have one characteristic: if it succeeds, it succeeds. If it fails, be careful and try again. As long as you follow the process, you will never go wrong. If you make a mistake, you will be slapped twice in the face, and you will remember it in the future.
But Cuibian is a hopeless vicious circle for apprentices - if they don't have money to buy materials, they won't be able to learn no matter how hard they try; if they can't learn, they will make mistakes; if they make mistakes and the materials are scrapped, they will get a slap in the face and have their money fined; after the money is fined, they will have even less money to buy materials.
Speaking of this, Ji Jue, a veteran poor guy, subconsciously felt his head spinning.
Touching the more than one million yuan in his arms, he just hoped that Chen Yubo, that heartless bastard, would transfer the balance to him as soon as possible.
"Don't worry about the money."
Professor Ye drank his tea, put a black card on the table, and pushed it in front of Ji Jue, "It seems that your work last night was not in vain.
Someone has already solved it for you."
The exquisitely shaped black card was on the table, and the gold-embossed code on it glowed brightly in the sunlight, illuminating Ji Jue's eyes.
It exudes an aura of wealth, making people instinctively feel noble.
Deter the poor.
"Oh My God."
Ji Jue's heart skipped a beat and he almost couldn't help swearing in front of the professor. He quickly changed the subject: "What kind of card is this? Have you seen it before? Who gave it to you?"
"Chen Xingzhou, someone was sent over this morning. Normally, the two brothers don't interact with each other and didn't even send anyone. Now it seems that he is quite concerned about his brother's life and death."
The professor sneered: "I just said you were a new apprentice, and that guy knew he had to take out something.
This is the membership card of the Libra Chamber of Commerce, which is only provided to high-end customers. He must have urgently asked someone to buy it last night. The name and information have now all become yours.
There is about 20 million in it. If you find it troublesome, you can withdraw it and put it into your own card. However, with this money, you don’t have to worry about spending it for at least half a year.”
I'll take it!
Ji Jue couldn't hold back the curse words in his heart any longer, and was dumbfounded: Is this the boss? He gave 20 million just like that? Is the thank-you gift so exaggerated?
Directly increase the final payment tenfold?!
as well as……
"Half a year?"
He stared at the professor in front of him blankly, and for several times, he seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself - wasn't the speed at which this alchemy was burning money a little too fast? !
Two thousand divided by one hundred and eighty is about 11.111111 per day. This number makes single guys sad, but when this number is converted into money and multiplied by every day, it is enough for any single guy to transform himself into a diamond bachelor, a spiritual shareholder of manufacturers such as Queen of Spades and Remy Martin, or a hero who dominates the nightlife.
One hundred and ten thousand a day?!
Ji Jue doesn't need that much food, drink and fun!
What kind of alchemy is so expensive!
"You are progressing too fast, don't blame alchemy."
Professor Ye glanced at his ignorant and stupid look and said: "It's been more than two months. Other apprentices haven't even finished learning the basics yet. Who is like you who is not satisfied with learning modern things and still wants to dig up ancient things?
If you want to take it slow and steady, that's no problem. Eight or ten years will be enough for you. If you gain some experience, you may become a formal craftsman when you are thirty years old. By then, others will praise you for being young and promising.
Chen Xingzhou probably planned this as well. After eight or nine years, you will become a craftsman with his money. Wouldn't it be easy and convenient to do whatever you need?"
Ji Jue smiled along but didn't dare to say anything.
I can only sigh that it is worthy of being called Amber. You will become stronger if you spend money, and you can even recharge to increase your progress.
However, he originally thought that rich people had too much money to spend, but he didn't expect that there would be so many ways to come up with a thank-you gift. Although if you speculate in a dark way, this possibility is undoubtedly very high, but... they haven't signed a contract with you!
Not even a single extra word.
Human relations are intercourse, and the more you interact with others, the more human relations you will have. This kind of thing always requires both parties to be willing.
Although Chen Xingzhou was generous, Ji Jue did not do nothing. Moreover, if he did not have a relationship with Professor Ye, he would not have received such generous treatment.
Ji Jue wasn't stupid enough to just take out the card and ask, "How about you split it in half?" If he did that, he would be looked down upon by his teacher.
We can only try to speed up the progress.
Completely unaware of how far he had progressed in modern alchemy, Curly Dog's soul had once again begun to burn.
If the professor wasn't right next to him, he couldn't help but laugh out loud three times:
I have it if I work hard, and I have it if I spend money!
I work hard and spend a lot of money on both training and cultivation. Who else in the world can beat me in terms of training? !
But soon, his eyes were drawn to the pendant next to the card.
"What is this?"
"Your spoils were sent here by Chen Xingzhou's men after they cleaned up the scene."
"It looks like a work of alchemy?"
Ji Jue picked it up and looked at it carefully. It looked like it, and in fact, it was.
Just by holding it in your hand you can feel the breath of blessing. This vague and elusive feeling is a transformation.
He became more cautious.
Generally, the blessings of ascension act on the soul and consciousness. If you use them carelessly, you might even have problems with your brain.
Besides, this work...
How to put it, it looks fancy and very similar, and it can be seen that the technique is very skillful, much better than Ji Jue's.
But after seeing the natural beauty of Mercury's works, and feeling the meticulous, all-encompassing and majestic spirit of Professor Ye's works in his study of modern alchemy... he can only say that it is just like that.
Even, it seems...
"A little flaw?" He was a little uncertain.
“It seems that his vision has improved.”
Professor Ye rarely praised it, and then commented: "Don't be so polite, such materials and blessings, made into this state, there is nothing but garbage.
Being able to smelt the blessing into such a crappy product and having the guts to sell it is completely disgraceful. No wonder the craftsman didn't dare to carve his emblem on it. If it is ever exposed in the future, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life."
The material is very good and the blessing is also very good.
The only thing is the workmanship, it's terrible!
Ascension is just a form, transformation is a formula, purification is uneven, and harmony is a mess. There is nothing more superficial than this.
It is estimated that if the blessing inside had known that he would become like this, he would have jumped down and rotted in the whirlpool with the nine evils.
Professor Ye has already looked at the specific circumstances of the blessing.
It's called Transcendent Vision.
In a nutshell, it gives users the ability to speed up their self-perception and thinking, thereby indirectly achieving the effect of slowing down time.
It's not ordinary, but it's not rare either, because there are many blessings with the same effect, such as White Deer's "Lightning Reflexes", Ruins' "Oneness of Objects and Self", Vortex's "Nerve Spiritualization"... and even the legendary blessing "Time Interception" given by the Eternal Gate!
In fact, there is a similar blessing from 'Miaoshou Tiancheng'.
Daqun has the "Hand of Conquest", Bailu has the "Telepathic Finger", and Wo has the "Miraculous Hand", but one focuses on strong destructive power, one focuses more on agility and counterattack, and the other is simply the ability to heal people. None of them can be compared with the terrifying versatility and growth of Miaoshou Tiancheng.
"Okay, forget it, it's just a crappy thing."
Professor Ye interrupted Ji Jue's thoughts, and then uttered a voice that seemed to come from the deepest nightmare: "Since this thing is in your hands, I will give you an assignment--"
do not!
Ji Jue's face changed in shock, and he subconsciously wanted to throw this thing away.
Can't I just not want it?
How can this homework be added just like that? !
"Next, in the introductory practice of dissociation, the object of operation will be changed to this."
Professor Ye picked up the teacup and said mercilessly: "What you need to do is to disassemble it, remove those messy spiritual circuits and material pollution, and keep the internal blessing unaffected to the greatest extent. The ghost will stay in the workshop to assist you and extract the blessing completely."
"Uh……"
Ji Jue asked hesitantly, "Are there any time requirements?"
"It's up to you. It doesn't matter whether you do it fast or slow."
The professor took one last look at him and gave Ji Jue a shot of chicken blood that drove him completely crazy: "I think it's about time to start after the blessing is stripped out."
She said calmly, "This is your first true alchemical creation."
"..."
In the dead silence, Ye Chun closed his eyes in despair.
But Ji Jue's eyes lit up, as if emitting a bloodthirsty light...
At that moment——
——Curl the dog, go berserk, done!
