Jade Inlaid with Gold (First Update, Merry Christmas Eve)

Li Yao mentally labeled the foundation's Tao Litte as "extremely dangerous" and planned to ask Guo Changshi about it later.

The monk was not afraid of danger.

They are not afraid of the unknown.

They have a habit of trying to understand the unknown, so mages generally have a strong sense of curiosity—which comes with an extremely smooth ability to court death. However, because they have so much experience in courting death, conventional courting methods can no longer harm them.

This is similar to the honey badger.

So what if a snake's venom is ferocious? Years of recklessly flirting with death have honed their resistance and given them experience, making them immune to it.

This Master Tao Litte should also be a naturally gifted individual, possessing the ability to control and manipulate minds.

That's why she can interfere with and influence everyone who has met her.

So,

What is the essence of so-called innate superhumans? Various research institutions have actually conducted relevant research, and some institutions have even developed so-called "artificial ability circuits," which have indeed proven effective.

The effect was just too poor.

Li Yao then began to ponder...

What do the ways in which innate superhumans control their abilities have in common with the magic model circuits constructed by mages?

If the opportunity arises, Li Yao wouldn't mind conducting research, even though it might involve human trials, as programming on Earth is quite troublesome.

If you want to conduct relevant research, you have to avoid all eyes and ears.

As for the materials,

There's an old saying, isn't there?

We had no guns or cannons, so the enemy made them for us!

All done!

Li Yao noted this point down, then went back to the hotel to talk to Guo Changshi about what happened that day.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Changshi said, "Tao Litte's origins are a mystery, and it's common knowledge that people have forgotten her appearance. It seems that she caused a lot of trouble in her youth because of her appearance, so she studied technology and created a Magical Artifact to amplify her abilities and cover up other people's memories."

Li Yao asked, "Is this the only effect?"

Guo Changshi understood what Li Yao was thinking, so he said, "At present, we only know of this one effect."

After saying that,

He also remarked, "Because of this mysterious nature, many people are unwilling to be enemies with Master Tao Litte."

Because mystery represents the unknown.

The unknown is often associated with fear.

Li Yao smiled.

If you're so capable, go talk to the monk!

Li Yao silently noted it down and didn't pursue it further. Guo Changshi then pulled Li Yao Li Yao the opponent in the upcoming challenge.

Guo Changshi: "This time, your opponents are the Voodoo Rack from the Mediterranean region. With the support of the American Federation, they have created so-called ' Stand Soul ' through experiments. Test subjects possessing Stand Soul are called Stand Warrior. They possess immortality, and the Stand Soul and the original can act independently to a certain extent. This means the next challenge will not be a fair fight."

Li Yao, however, didn't seem to care much.

He had already obtained the research results on the Voodoo Rack, although he did not have detailed research data or Force models.

Even from simple information, it can be seen that the so-called "Stand Soul" is nothing more than a special substance extracted from the body of an alien and combined with the human body, allowing the human's spiritual power to manifest a spiritual form after breaking through a certain threshold.

Based on this special substance,

While creating Stand Soul, it can also replenish the original body and repair the damage to the original body.

but,

There is no such thing as immortality in this world.

The mage has proven with his actions that even a god can die if killed.

Two days later, the second challenge began as scheduled, and Wei Dadong and his team arrived at the museum's exhibition hall early to prepare.

Li Yao was a little later because he needed to practice the "Qi Refining Technique".

But as soon as he arrived at the exhibition hall, a large group of people swarmed around him!

They surrounded Li Yao, bombarding him with questions, and... they were all foreigners:

"Mr. Han, what tactics do you plan to use this time?"

"Mr. Han, are you still planning to win this battle without losing a single person?"

"Mr. Han, how long do you plan to take to eliminate the enemy this time?"

Li Yao was a little confused. What was going on?

Upon seeing this, the security personnel at the venue quickly came to Li Yao's side to protect him and separate the foreigners. Although the security measures were very good this time, what if some forces were planning to break off relations and attempt to assassinate him?

These days, skilled technical personnel are hard to find! Especially someone like Li Yao, who can invent and create things that can shake up the entire supernatural realm, is even harder to find!

After finally settling down, Zhuge Feng, Yun leaned over and said with a smile, "Some people heard you directing the dispatch that day, so they all want to ask you about the dispatch situation this time."

Li Yao understood.

This is the guy who came to me that day after losing money, trying to get inside information!

Li Yao immediately became excited!

He stood up and walked towards the group of people who had just surrounded him, but Zhuge Feng, Yun grabbed Li Yao and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Yao: "This is a great opportunity to make a fortune!"

Zhuge Feng, Yun: "???"

Li Yao explained, "I'm creating a group, having them pay to join, and then I'll share insider information! Let go of me, why are you holding me back!"

Doesn't this interfere with making money?! Zhuge Feng, Yun was baffled at the time, how come you have so many unconventional ways to make money? Wait a minute,

Why are you so obsessed with making money? You made over 170 million yesterday, and today you're already thinking about making money off gamblers? Watching the departing figure, Zhuge Feng, Yun fell into deep thought. He suddenly looked up and shouted, "Slow down! Add me to the group too!"

soon,

Li Yao was surrounded by a group of people. He held up his phone and said to them in a friendly manner, "Come add me on WeChat. Send a red envelope if you want to join the group!"

"Is the information accurate? I Han Guang, am absolutely honest and trustworthy!"

"100,000 is still too expensive? I'm practically giving you a freebie! Not just WeChat, but Alipay and bank card contactless payments are all accepted!"

Master Guo watched as Li Yao went around adding everyone on WeChat with his phone, and his face turned ashen.

beside,

A colleague, also a director of the Artificer Association, asked, "Old Guo, this piece of rough jade you found... seems a bit off, doesn't it?"

Guo Changshi sneered, "So young and yet so capable, what else can you call him but a rough gem?"

"Jade Inlaid with Gold?" The director exclaimed, "I think this young man's ability to make money is even stronger than his ability to Weapon Refinement. Why don't we let him be in charge of the association's finances and revenue generation?"

Guo Changshi: "You're letting a money-grubber manage the money?"

This is practically raising rats in a granary! Guo Changshi said quietly, "Tell me, do you have some kind of problem with the association?"

Colleague: "..."

In the preparation room, Wei Dadong, who was putting on his armor, shouted to Wei Dadong, "Old Wei, look what Mr. Han is doing!"

Wei Dadong glanced at it as well, thought for a moment, and said, "They're probably trying to extract information from us and help us formulate a strategy!"

Since last time,

Wei Dadong felt a great deal of goodwill and admiration for "Han Guang". Look at how Mr. Han was being polite to those foreigners in order to get information from them... The way he was holding his phone and smiling broadly was really touching!
