After the protagonist left Fengcheng, undercurrents surged.
Of course, this is for Li Haibo.
In order to keep the family fortune that Lin Tianyu gained through cheating, he traveled here and there, using both soft and hard tactics, suppressing, making deals, and compromising. He struggled to deal with the established forces in Fengcheng, and from time to time he had to take care of useless "teammates." I just wish I could break one person into eight people.
As for our "villain" Ling Yao, he has no sympathy for this and says that he is just here to listen to the gossip. Brother Haibo, please continue to complain.
After all, he also heard that although Lin Tianyu left in a very chic and unreliable way, he still left a lot of good things for Li Haibo.
Just like during the college entrance examination, the teacher left a collector's edition of Wu San for students, which basically covered the questions, but then he walked away and left you to study on your own...
For someone like Li Haibo, a "little classmate with strong self-learning ability", this may not be a bad thing.
At least a year has passed, and Li Haibo has established himself in the fifth rank, stabilized his huge industry in the black market, and is running Lin Tianyu's company calmly.
Ling Yao is also a cultivator who has become a monk on the way, and Ling Yao feels inferior to him in terms of resource conversion efficiency.
Maybe this is what I was forced to practice.
However, in comparison, Ling Yao's life was not going smoothly.
It's not that there are any troubles left behind by the previous Raven Base, but that his "pirated internal repair system" has encountered a bottleneck.
In the process of continuously training new people and gradually training the first batch of students to the seventh level, Ling Yao's own cultivation realm has not yet climbed up, and is stuck at the peak of the sixth level.
The sixth level to the fifth level is a big pass, and the true energy in the cultivator's body will turn from gaseous state to liquid state.
For external practitioners, this is the ultimate tempering of the body, so that the true energy can flow through the body without any hindrance.
As for internal cultivation, it is necessary to forge an unprecedented and extremely powerful Dantian to accommodate the new form of true energy. Compared with the physical body, the Dantian is much more fragile. If you want to develop such a Dantian, the difficulty is undoubtedly much greater than that of external cultivation.
As a "piracy player", Ling Yao constantly squeezed, extracted, refined and reorganized the complaints and training classics from previous lives, and calculated several possible paths to successfully reach the fifth level. But after this year's attempts, all these methods undoubtedly failed, and even left him with many hidden injuries that were difficult to recover from.
Even Hou Jinshuo received instructions from his superiors and personally came to persuade him not to be too anxious. His promotion to the sixth level within two years is a miracle that cannot be replicated. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to break through from the sixth level to the fifth level without any obstacles. Not to mention reaching the fifth level from a completely unknown cultivation path.
"Nan Botu" is only 26 years old, and there is still a lot of time to try and practice. There is no need to compromise your physical health just for a temporary breakthrough, but instead lay a hidden secret for future growth.
Ling Yao naturally understood what Hou Jinshuo meant. It was an expression of trust. He hoped that he would not force himself, but would take his time and take the long term to catch big fish.
It can be said that the Secret Service can talk about it for this reason, instead of blindly squeezing him and continuing to spit out new cultivation methods. It has already regarded him as one of its own.
But Ling Yao couldn't give up this trying method easily. It wasn't because he was worried that the Secret Service would think his progress was slow, or that he couldn't keep up with the protagonist Lin Tianyu.
Just because if he doesn't try, who will?
Not to mention that he is the only one who has cultivated to the sixth level according to this path of cultivation. Even the method used by Lin Tianyu may not be 100% the same as his.
Even if there really is a perfect candidate who can try various breakthrough methods for him, he has finally reached the sixth level with little success, so how can he be willing to use extremely risky methods to achieve breakthroughs? How can he ensure that the trick he runs is exactly what Ling Yao envisioned?
Only he himself knows his theory best, has the firmest belief in his goal, and has the greatest determination to take risks and sacrifice for this cause.
Rather than saying that he is anxious, it is better to say that he has come up with so many possibilities within this year and is constantly trying.
And he felt that it was close. Now he just needs to give him a breakthrough, or in other words, a little inspiration.
"In two days, I have to leave, also to Kyoto. I'll leave the project here to your own control, so I won't worry about it."
Ling Yao waved his hand and dropped a bombshell to Li Haibo.
But this bomb only had a three-second stun effect, and Li Haibo quickly reacted:
"The Secret Service called you back to headquarters? Are you in such a hurry?"
"No, actually, I was notified last week. I just remembered to tell you today..."
"Fuck! Get out of here!"
"Oh, anyway, I am no longer in control of several projects you have come into contact with. It doesn't matter whether I am in Fengcheng or not."
Ling Yao turned a deaf ear to Li Haibo's harmless disgusting quotes, as if a cat was angry.
"On the contrary, my absence gives you more reason to contact them directly. Isn't this just what you want?"
Li Haibo certainly knows this truth. Over the past year, Ling Yao had helped him connect a lot of business related to the Secret Service, both covertly and overtly.
At the beginning, Li Haibo didn't understand that he was a gangster in the black market. Even if he was Lin Tianyu's subordinate, the Secret Service had no reason to give him such face.
Only later did he realize that the people in the Secret Service regarded him as a member of Nanbotu, so naturally they were nice and talkative, and they even automatically imagined that he was some kind of black market informant.
Li Haibo was naturally angry and funny about this. He was obviously not in the same camp as this guy, but he was inexplicably put on a pirate ship. If something really happened, if he continued to favor Lin Tianyu, wouldn't it be as if he was not a human being?
However, Ling Yao's explanation is correct: No, listen to my explanation, they are talking nonsense, how can their guesses count? Now Lin Tianyu is the new leader of the Secret Service. Isn’t it reasonable for you to cooperate with the Secret Service?
It's very reasonable. Throwing you into the Ganges River is more like it. Of course, Li Haibo knew that Ling Yao's act of pretending to be stupid would be very effective, but the question was, who provided this opportunity? Didn't he himself know?
He can deceive anyone, but how can he easily get over this hurdle in his heart?
But for now, that's all. After all, it's not just him, he also has an entire Chinatown of people "waiting for food" in the black market. There is no reason to give up such a large piece of fat just for a little bit of trouble.
It would certainly be a great thing for him if he could go beyond Nambotu and directly cooperate more deeply with the Secret Service.
but……
"You won't provoke Lin Tianyu again when you arrive in Kyoto, right?"
Li Haibo looked Ling Yao up and down with distrust on his face.
Ling Yao was so shocked when he heard this that he almost blew his beard and stared:
"Why are you talking, ah, how are you talking! When did I take the initiative to provoke him? Wasn't this all caused by him? I'm such a civilized and polite person, why would I provoke the shark pen when I have nothing to do... You can pretend you didn’t hear the last sentence.”
Li Haibo: I heard it! Although there is nothing to refute...
"Don't worry, keep your mouth shut, no one can poke you out."
Ling Yao was just joking, so his tone became more relaxed,
"I'm mainly here to experience the medical level of a big city this time. I'm not going to have sex with anyone. I definitely won't meet Lin Tianyu, okay... I guess?"
Li Haibo: Please remove the last two words!
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all about a conflict between Ling Yao and Lin Tianyu, but if there was a conflict, he believed that 80% to 90% of it was Lin Tianyu who initiated the problem. No matter how much they sit here and talk, there is no point.
In fact, he was more curious about what Ling Yao was doing in Kyoto.
Although Ling Yao would occasionally complain to him about things going wrong, complaining that he heard that Lin Tianyu was "going on a killing spree" and "expanding his ambitions" in Kyoto, "He should be given an inspiring name like Botu."
But in Li Haibo's view, although Ling Yao is not famous, his achievements may not be less than Lin Tianyu, who "shows off more than he contributes" and "benefits himself more than others".
Lin Tianyu has now withstood the first wave of provocations from the small family, and by displaying his medical skills and combat abilities, coupled with his vaguely revealed "Secret Intelligence Bureau background", he has obtained investment from some families; he has even hooked up with a few A powerful man, he took a temporary job in a large company.
There is no doubt that this is a “rising star” in Kyoto.
At the same time, Lin Tianyu took advantage of both black and white, and soon made countless enemies in Kyoto. Even if Li Haibo didn't know about the "protagonist" and "routine", he knew that this was Lin Tianyu's usual style: walking on a tightrope on a cliff, every step dangerous, as if this could attract attention and win applause.
This is indeed the case. Whether it is newspaper news or gossip forums, everyone is talking about the name "Lin Tianyu".
Li Haibo concluded that Lin Tianyu has changed the world, his level of contact with people and things has continued to increase, and the struggle involving power and money has continued to escalate, but he still does everything he wants. No wonder people are amazed and envious.
But the essence is no different from what was done in Fengcheng.
In comparison, what Ling Yao did in Fengcheng was more like a climb.
Whether it is the successful mass production of introductory elixirs, the further practice of universal internal cultivation methods, the research and development and production of new enchanted bullets and supporting equipment, or the research and realization of gas-fire energy and interlocking mechanism projects, all are It is an important research result that can be directly realized and transformed into actual combat power.
Ling Yao is not fighting alone, but there is no doubt that he is the absolute leader of these projects.
What he did was like packing his luggage slowly, carefully counting his equipment, searching for his teammates carefully, setting off, and then heading towards the towering peak little by little. The steps were difficult and the journey slow.
But every step he takes is a vast new world.
Moreover, he took so many people with him on the road and inspired more people to climb the mountain together. No one can doubt his abilities, his goals, and his ideals.
Even the Secret Service, which was on full defense against him based on his age and identity, is gradually improving his status, amplifying the power in his hands, and even starting to care about his health.
Otherwise, where would the arrangement of “experience the medical level of a big city” come from? Do you really think this is wholesale treatment?
Of course, the name "Nan Bo Tu" will never appear in the streets or gossip like Lin Tianyu, but this name will definitely appear in the history books in the future.
And if working under Lin Tianyu is a straightforward exchange of interests, then cooperating with Ling Yao has a subtle pride that promotes the progress of civilization.
Li Haibo laughed at himself: It turns out that people in the black market will have such feelings one day. This is too strange.
Of course Ling Yao didn't know what was going on in Li Haibo's heart. What's more, when he does these things, what drives him is more interests and hobbies - research, Mang Sheng Big World's specialty.
Over the past year, he has devoted himself to his work in Fengcheng. In addition to the text messages complaining about the "protagonist", he also received news about the "protagonist" all the time, which allowed him to learn more or less information about Lin Tianyu. He seemed to have completely gotten over it. He has achieved the fate of the so-called "plot" and continues to develop in his career.
Therefore, when he returned to Beijing this time, he had even lost the mentality of "Gather up the courage to face the storm brought by the protagonist!" when he returned to Fengcheng, and he seemed quite peaceful.
The only thing that made him uneasy was not Lin Tianyu, but "Professor Xin Ran" who was also in Kyoto.
In the investigation by the Special Intelligence Bureau, Professor Xin Ran's behavior had been normal for the past twenty years, so the people in the investigation department initially thought that Ling Yao was overly sensitive because of his own experience.
It wasn't until they stretched the timeline to thirty years ago that they suddenly discovered that Xin Ran's major research results when he "started" involved a number of ethical issues in medical research - using babies for psychological experiments and deliberately leaving babies with psychological Shadows and more.
Although people might have let it go lightly back then, and passed the document with just a few strokes of characters on three or two pages, but now it is undoubtedly an "anti-human" operation.
Of course, if this is the case, it can also be said that it is due to the limitations of the times. But they gradually discovered more clues:
Where did so many children come from? Whose permission did they ask for their experiments? Who provided the equipment and place for irregular experiments?
Although the old events have been deliberately covered up, the trajectory of Xin Ran's activities in orphanages and remote areas is itself a hint. The Bureau of Investigation even uncovered several human trafficking chains.
But there is no concrete evidence yet, and the Secret Service does not dare to act rashly. But Ling Yao thought that maybe before the Secret Service found evidence, he should meet with Xin Ran to see if he could get more clues - especially the part he wanted to know.
His application for direct contact with Xin Ran was not approved.
This is normal, after all, he is now an important person in secret, and Xin Ran is a suspicious and dangerous person.
But he thought, Lin Tianyu was in Kyoto, Li Jiaheng was in Kyoto, and he also went to Kyoto - Xin Ran would always take the initiative to show up.
He has bought more than a dozen voice recorders, just waiting for this person to bubble up on his own!
After leaving the black market, Ling Yao had finished all his farewells in Fengcheng and came to Kyoto with the rotation bus of the large army.
During the health checkup, Ling Yao met with all the team leaders and direct leaders who may be involved in his project work in the future.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and sincere, which was completely different from the attitude he had when he proposed that he wanted to cooperate with the Secret Service.
Ling Yao was very satisfied with this. Such a state is conducive to the development of more in-depth cooperation.
However, he discovered that in Kyoto, the name Lin Tianyu appeared so highly in the Secret Service.
At the corner of the aisle, three or two logistics members were scolding Lin Tianyu for alerting the gangster about which gangster caused them to cut off their clues, and for having a fight with the underlings of a wealthy family that required them to go to the scene to wipe their butts.
In the coffee shop, several old professors with gray beards sighed and hissed, discussing that Lin Tianyu’s publicity on traditional Chinese medicine did more harm than good. They were sad that the new trend of traditional Chinese medicine caused by Lin Tianyu and the series of medical fraud methods that it caused had resurfaced. .
In the gym, a group of burly team members on duty were wiping sweat while chatting about Lin Tianyu's punches at foreign boxing exchange meetings, kicks at foreign medical associations, and his skills in beating people and treating diseases.
I thought I was quite ambitious at first, but in the end, someone suddenly said, "Why don't you check out what kind of pheasant teams those conferences and associations are? A serious national-level exchange team will not be able to deal with a wild team like Lin Tianyu in the first place." , and the comparison is not as simple as who can win or who can be cured, right? It’s as if his stuff can be promoted."
Then a group of people buried themselves in Baidu, and finally everyone rolled their eyes and dispersed.
By the lakeside of the park, seven or eight intelligence officers gathered around the small tables and stools and lamented how exaggerated Lin Tianyu was in the limelight and how nonsensical his actions were. In order to whitewash Lin Tianyu's various double-standard behaviors, they did it every day. I spent a lot of effort writing a letter to Lin Tianyu on social media because I was afraid of damaging the image of the Secret Service.
Even in the cafeteria, the dish's aunt could tell Ling Yao how many innocent and innocent girls this "big scumbag" had harmed by waving her spoon twice.
Looking back at online news and TV broadcasts, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Tianyu’s reputation inside and outside the Secret Service is as good as ice and fire.
Scenes like this would appear in the headquarters building from time to time, making Ling Yao feel as if he had mistakenly entered the Tucao training base...
But think about Lin Tianyu outside "calling for the wind and rain" and "controlling the situation" without any concern for the consequences, tossing people like the Secret Service to death.
If it hadn't been for the fact that his smoke bomb was almost twice as effective, everyone would have scolded him even more harshly than now.
Ling Yao flipped through the system interface that others could not see. There was still only the information record of Mang Sheng World on it. He was thinking, where is the story of this world going, and when will it end? Do we really have to wait for Lin Tianyu to become a god and marry 108 wives?
He was starting to feel a little bored.
Not as interesting as that little brat in my previous life. After all, this little kid is also a true legend who dominates one side. Can he be the same as Lin Tianyu, a "legend" with a 999-level spread of a Kun at the beginning and a sword?
This boring state lasted until half a month later. Late one night, he received a strange phone call.
The phone number was unfamiliar, but the caller's voice was not.
"I heard you came to Kyoto. It's rare. Do you want to meet? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me think about it..."
The moment the call was connected, Ling Yao's back instantly straightened and his nerves became tense.
"It's been thirty years, right?"
"Nan Botu" is 26 years old this year.
Ling Yao gritted his teeth and finally gave his answer in the long silence, word by word, without any rush:
"It's been a long time indeed, Professor Xin Ran."
