He thought of the looks of awe on people's faces, and the contempt behind their backs.
He thought of...
There were too many.
"I'm willing."
Whoosh~
After making this decision, Liu Chuang felt a sense of relief.
Liu Chuang lived his life by loyalty and keeping his promises.
As long as the boss didn't break his word, Liu Chuang was his man!
"Good, come, let's drink."
Han Fei picked up his teacup.
"Alright, Big Brother!"
Liu Chuang felt like he had just formally acknowledged a big brother, so there was no need to be too distant. He casually picked up his teacup, clinked it against Han Fei's, and downed the tea in one gulp.
Han Fei then chatted with Liu Chuang, getting to know him better. He also told Liu Chuang to be prepared for new training.
Finally.
Liu Chuang left, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
Han Fei watched him go with a smile.
After Liu Chuang left, Han Fei's smile gradually faded.
The plan is working.
Deno's people thought the Super Gene would remain hidden, waiting for a future activation. They didn't realize that in the near future, the Super Gene would be activated in this generation, and the chaos of the entire universe would begin.
Therefore, influencing its ideology now would be a guaranteed profit in the future!
Even if Liu Chuang turned out to be a scoundrel and reneged on his promise, Han Fei wouldn't care. It was just a speculative move; if it worked, great, and if it didn't, could that small amount of money really be considered a loss?
Having money made him this willful.
"Right, should I take this opportunity to try and win over the other Super Genes as well?"
After a moment of thought.
"Never mind. By contacting Liu Chuang like this, he should understand by now. If my guess is correct, Deno won't let me find those other Super Genes anymore."
"Besides, I should also think about what I'm going to say later."
Han Fei looked at his phone.
He waited for the moment it would ring.
Chapter Eleven: Political Dealings and the Light Shadow Stone
"Through how many hardships, darkness will be dispelled..."
The phone rang.
Han Fei smiled. "They're here."
"..."
"Alright, same place."
After hanging up the phone, Han Fei sat in his chair and pondered.
"Dukao's actions shouldn't be too drastic, but it's probably impossible to pretend this incident never happened. They won't be fooled. Would exchanging an experimental project for them be a fair deal?"
"Probably not..."
Soon.
It was the same coffee shop.
The same two people.
Sitting in their chairs, both were silent.
They drank their coffee quietly.
Dukao's expression changed slightly as he drank his coffee. After just one sip, he immediately stopped.
Seeing this, Han Fei smiled gently. "Don't you think it's good? Don't worry, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it."
He took another sip.
Dukao didn't speak and didn't touch the coffee again.
He clasped his hands together, his eyes fixed on Han Fei.
"You should know why I'm here."
Han Fei raised his eyelids slightly.
He certainly knew, but even if they both knew, Han Fei wouldn't admit it.
Some things are just like that, understood but never spoken.
"What did you say?"
"I don't believe in coincidences. Once is a coincidence, twice is definitely not. Han Fei, you understand us better than I imagined."
Dukao, however, seemed unwilling to play coy any longer, his meaning clear.
"But since you know, you shouldn't have touched it."
Han Fei blinked. "I didn't touch anything. I just made a new friend recently."
"Liu Chuang."
His eyebrow twitched.
This guy was cutting straight to the chase, meaning he wasn't going to compromise?!
"Liu Chuang, just a 'friend' I recently met. Do you know him?"
"Of course, he's quite important to me."
Han Fei seemed to realize something.
He was clumsily changing the subject.
"Oh, right. I'm a bit short-handed lately. Can you take over Giant Gorge Experiment Number Three?"
"Hmm? Are you sure?"
"And our researchers aren't very good at this sort of thing."
"Heh, consider it a favor," Han Fei said, acting like they were old buddies.
"Haha, indeed. By the way, I do know your friend, and we have some connection. Please take good care of him. I don't want to see him end up in the hospital or anything."
Dukao also laughed heartily and said to Han Fei amicably.
His tone grew slightly heavier when he mentioned the hospital.
"No problem, no problem."
Han Fei understood what he meant.
Don't delve too deep into the research.
"..."
Watching Dukao leave, the coffee opposite him was still steaming.
Han Fei stared blankly.
"Why does this Dukao seem less like a military figure and more like a politician?"
The feigned ignorance, the initial intimidation, and emphasizing Liu Chuang's importance were all part of his plan to extort him later.
Wait!
The gene was indeed important, but it hadn't been activated yet, and Earth hadn't been invaded. Dukao's attitude seemed to be merely protective.
Han Fei pondered.
Still, he felt he'd taken a slight loss this time.
Giant Gorge Experiment Number Three was a research project led by the Black Star Group, specifically focusing on material science. New Titanium Alloy was related to this experiment.
Although some of the materials had already been removed, it was still a valuable asset.
"Oh well, it's an investment. You have to give to get."
Han Fei shook his head, stood up, and got into the car.
"Right, remember to bring back the kitchenware."
That kitchenware was crucial for his culinary desires.
"Yes."
A bodyguard in black returned to the car with a pot.
"Alright, let's go."
"...Is it really okay to let it go like this?"
"It's fine. As for Han Fei, if my guess is correct, the inherited legacy shouldn't be that powerful. We've been on Earth for over a thousand years. Although we couldn't interfere too much with the civilization's progress due to the principal's words and the order of the Angel civilization, we've been observing and preventing other civilizations from entering. Therefore, his inherited legacy could only be from before that time."
"Based on the statistics of god-level civilizations in the universe, Han Fei should have inherited a mid-to-low-level space civilization with a different development direction."
"Even if the restrictions were lifted, given time, he wouldn't be able to research anything from Liu Chuang."
"Actually, if we hadn't lost most of our technology during our wandering, I wouldn't have to be so diplomatic with him over these things now."
Dukao said with some helplessness.
Civilization's development is a very slow process.
Earth's development to the pre-nuclear age in just over five thousand years was the result of his subtle, gradual interference. Any faster, and the angels would have initiated judgment.
And now, the items they presented perfectly matched Earth's current development. It was just right.
That was why he made this decision.
Lian Feng parted her red lips. "You are not wrong, but I still feel that allowing him to get so close to Liu Chuang is not a good thing."
"Haha, the gap between a god-tier civilization and a spacefaring civilization is like the difference between an ape and a human. It seems small, but in reality, it's a world apart."
"Can he activate it? No, I'm afraid even detection would be impossible."
"This is a chasm of civilization. One step is forever."
"Erm, I can't even detect Super Genes!"
Han Fei looked at the report on the Black Star screen, feeling a bit displeased.
He knew Super Genes would be difficult, but he didn't expect detection to be this hard!
Han Fei despaired at the power of this world once again.
The stratification of this world was too oppressive.
In a fantasy world, with cultivation techniques and resources, you could at least advance step by step. Here, you had to endure immense hardship first, become a high-ranking member of your civilization, and then develop step by step in the universe to obtain genes.
It was too difficult.
"Fortunately, I'm not a native. Otherwise, I'd never rise in my lifetime, and might even be wiped out in some war."
He shook his head.
"Black Star, open the progress of the Light Shadow Stone project."
"Yes."
