The Red Arrow People would likely be greatly shocked by the appearance of the Path Building, and Li Aoz also informed N4 about it, telling her that this was her only chance to break into the Red Arrow market.

The Red Arrow Empire's economic strategy leans towards protectionism, and its style is extremely domineering. Nethermark Heavy Industries is not well-liked locally and is easily targeted by the Red Arrow's local courts and government.

Today they check your fire safety, tomorrow your taxes, the day after your social security—which company can withstand such torment, especially one as large as Mingji, which requires at least 20,000 employees to operate? How can you guarantee that there will be no mistakes every time they come to check?

Machines can malfunction, let alone people.

White Obelisk increase the probability of the appearance of [Mutant], and the Red Arrow Empire not only has a need for this, but also cannot match the technology of the Nethermark Heavy Industries. This is an excellent opportunity.

For Nethermark Heavy Industries Industry, withdrawing from the Frostplate market is painful, but compared to the market share of Red Arrow, it is acceptable.

Moreover, judging from Li Aoz's experience, the Frostplate Federation under Dai Weilin's rule was actually quite friendly to foreign companies, so it's not necessarily true that the Nethermark Heavy Industries suffered a complete defeat.

At worst, they can just register a new company, start from scratch, and be resurrected. It would only result in a loss of a few hundred billion derby.

With the strength of Nethermark Heavy Industries, they will be able to earn it back sooner or later.

As for how N4 views this real opportunity as a birthday gift—that's none of Li Aoz's business for now.

Due to N4's unique character specialization and talent, Li Aoz couldn't see the changes in her Favorability. However, it's likely that Red Arrow's market share alone would satisfy her.

On the other hand, manipulating the White Obelisk is an interesting thing.

Within the area of Path Building, as the pioneer of the Daoist path, he can freely inspect the situation.

It's conceivable that Red Arrow will soon realize he can't dismantle this thing, and sooner or later he'll calm down and start observing and studying it, and then he'll discover that it was created by Li Aoz.

Considering that Li Aoz holds Green Card from the Red Arrow, the Red Arrow Empire probably won't be too bothered and will simply consider it a return favor.

Ah, think about it, what a warm-hearted, loyal, and patriotic young man I was! Not only did I care about my country, which I had never met, from the very beginning, but I also poured a lot of resources and passion into it and provided a wealth of intelligence, while Red Arrow only had to bear a little bit of diplomatic pressure.

I'm so gentle and kind, Li Aoz thinks I'm going to cry myself to death.

The Red Arrow Empire has its own Aoneng Training School, but its initial purpose was to prevent these people from being abducted by malicious groups because of their superpowers, and to use them for research, performance, or as weapons. It also aimed to protect these innately awakened superpowered Ability Users and prevent them from going astray.

After all, those who wield power are themselves a threat to the existing system.

Unfortunately, due to racial and environmental factors, Red Arrow has conducted extensive research on Malefic Calamity, and has overused various technologies and hormones, resulting in a relatively high probability of mutations among its Aoneng.

This isn't the kind of Biohazard Giantgod research that Nethermark Professor; it's genuine protective research.

Every year, hundreds of millions of Galen are spent on dealing with the crimes and education of these "Aoneng.

From this perspective, Li Aoz's appearance can truly be seen as a reciprocation of kindness.

"This White Obelisk is really a good thing."

After careful study, Li Aoz discovered that he could store his own designated Aoneng in the White Obelisk for players and NPCs to 'rent'.

Another advantage of NPCs is that they are unlikely to run away. They have a stable income and a fixed living environment. Although they give less experience, their stable life ensures a steady and long-term income.

Li Aoz put his [Gravity], [Eye of Truth], and [Blood of Immortality] into it. The [Calamity] Aoneng was quite dangerous, and after learning from Lady Liu E that the truth about Aoneng was the authority of the Creator and that it had considerable harm, Li Aoz felt it was better to be cautious.

He knew that the four Sequence Aura required by the [Starcaller] were completely without side effects, or rather, basically harmless. However, when Liu E mentioned it, it seemed that some terrible accident and harm had occurred, which is why Lady Liu E was so reluctant to talk about it and turned pale at the mention of it.

But Li Aoz will not give up on expansion.

Gravity is the entry point and core Aoneng for Starcaller. To advance to the Echoer level, one must first master the arcane Aoneng.

On the other hand, the [Gravity] Aoneng is also the milder Aoneng among the arcane Aoneng he possesses. Most people only confuse this thing with telekinesis, but in fact the two are completely different things.

Gravity is nominally called force, but its essence is actually the distortion of spacetime. In other words, this thing is the father of almost all Space-Time Ability.

Gravity can do everything that spacetime can do, and it can also do things that spacetime cannot do. And it can do things that neither spacetime nor gravity can do—specifically, Electromagnetic Force.

There are clearly different levels of power and quality among the Aoneng. Even Li Aoz himself wouldn't dare to say that he could use [Gravity] to compare with the strongest sequences one, two, and three.

Telekinesis is Mental Power that ordinary people can achieve through brain development, although telekinesis can be terrifying in the later stages, such as the [Radiant Torchbearer].

The [Radiant Torchbearer] is powerful enough to Twisted Reality; a powerful Radiant Torchbearer can even project a universe directly with their mind.

Interestingly, the first resident of the Path Building named Cardan directly shared 6 [Mutant] with him, and the number is still increasing. It is estimated that this is because he is in charge of a company or farm. At this rate, Li Aoz estimates that it will not be difficult to grow to 100,000 within 20 years.

In just a short while, Li Aoz had already gained 8,000 experience points. At this rate, in a few days, he would be able to earn 100,000 experience points a day, which, combined with the experience points earned by other players, would be enough to meet his needs.

The only downside is that there aren't many people here, so Li Aoz probably won't contribute many attribute points to him.

But this has actually made it easier for him to collect rent remotely.

NPCs should earn experience points, and players should also transfer their experience points; only then can it be considered fair.

With this thing, paired with the [Echo], he can be much more free.
