Thirty-Seventy Split

Li Yao pulled his hand away from Wang Xueyi's. "That's not a pleasant thing to hear!"

He emphasized, "Can you call something done by smart people dirty? It's called tactics!"

Wang Xueyi's eyes lit up even more. "Yes, yes, yes! Tactics!"

He grabbed Li Yao: "Let's talk this over in detail!"

Because they needed background information on Ra to construct the ruins, Li Yao had almost finished organizing all the materials. Reaching the fireplace, Li Yao took a stack of documents from the coffee table and handed them to Wang Xueyi: "The information about Ra is basically all here; you can take a look."

Wang Xueyi immediately started reading.

He watched intently, his ordinary face framed by bright, shining eyes.

After watching it,

Wang Xueyi looked up. "This 'La Shen' really existed, right?"

This document provides very complete information about Ra, from their origins and the process of Ra's growth and conquests, to the biographies of the paladins and many heroes under Ra's command, as well as the emblems and holy symbols of their sect.

He originally thought that this so-called God of La was a fictional character!

But now it seems that's not the case at all! Li Yao nodded. "That's all in the past. Now we just need to focus on the present."

Wang Xueyi nodded in agreement. Regardless of whether this "God of La" truly existed or what his current situation was, that was Mr. Li's business.

It's not his place to investigate.

Wang Xueyi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, do you know that there is also a supreme god named Ra in Egyptian Mythology?"

Hmm? Li Yao didn't know much about Egyptian Mythology. He only knew about God of the Underworld Osiris, from watching movies, and Anubis, the kobold, from the game LOL. That was about it.

Of the many mythologies on Earth, Li Yao is more familiar with Chinese mythology, Northern Europe mythology, and Greek Mythology.

Oh, and there are also the myths and legends of the Holy See... but the myths and legends of the Holy See are more like one-sided boasting, and many things about them are not credible.

Therefore, Li Yao said, "I would like to hear the details."

Wang Xueyi said, "Yes, that's how it is..."

After Wang Xueyi's explanation, Li Yao gained some understanding of Ra, the supreme god of Egypt.

Ra is the sun god in ancient Egyptian Mythology, regarded as the midday sun, and is also the chief of the Ennead of Heliopolis.

Beginning with the Egyptian Fifth Dynasty, he became the most important god in ancient Egyptian Mythology, and after Thebes became the capital of all Egypt, he merged with Amon, the supreme god of Thebes, to become Amon Ra.

For over a thousand years, Ra has been the supreme god of Egypt.

He was replaced by Aten during the reforms of Akhenaten under Pharaoh Amenhotep IV of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.

However, this reform was too radical, infringing on the interests of the aristocratic class, and it came to an end with the death of Amenhotep IV, and Ra was restored to the status of the supreme god.

Wang Xueyi said, "The main center of Ra worship was Heliopolis, which was known as the Land of Pillars in Egypt. There, Ra was regarded as the local sun god ' Atum '... But in reality, Atum and Ra were two different people."

Li Yao was quite interested in these myths and biographies, so he immediately chimed in, "What's different?"

Wang Xueyi said, "Atum is actually the original creator god. Ra is the one who usurped Atum's power to become the supreme sun god. And the legendary union is essentially a process of devouring and merging."

Li Yao was a little surprised. "Is it that amazing?"

Wang Xueyi said, "Yes, the myths and characteristics of different places are different. The Middle East and Western Europe advocate monotheistic worship, while Egypt and China are similar to polytheistic worship. China has constructed the divine way based on the Five Elements and Five Virtues system, which has radiated to East Asia and Southeast Asia."

But Egypt is different!

Their gods are represented by "Ka" and "Ba". Ka is the embodiment of their spiritual power, while Ba is the manifestation of their body and soul.

According to the Egyptian tradition, these things can devour each other.

After hearing this,

Li Yao asked, "I understand all of this. What are you planning to do?"

At this crucial moment, Wang Xueyi immediately perked up. "What a coincidence! We can confuse your Ra with the supreme Sun God Ra from Egypt, and set up an archaeological site for them to fight over! Mr. Li, why don't you come with us!"

He advised, "Your understanding of Ra is very helpful for us in setting up the ruins. The key is that you have a talent for swindling people!"

Li Yao: "..."

He couldn't tell whether this guy was praising someone or insulting them. Li Yao: "Did your PE teacher wash bamboo skewers for hot pot vendors before teaching you Chinese?"

"Can't you speak properly?!" Wang Xueyi was taken aback. "You're brilliant!"

Look how skillfully he put it! He insults people in such a roundabout way!

Li Yao: "..."

"What kind of weirdos are in the Staff Department?" He replied, "I have a pretty high bounty in the Esper World right now, it would be too dangerous for me to go with you guys."

Wang Xueyi slapped his thigh. "Our Staff Department's secrecy level is very high! No one will know about this! Besides, we have secret weapons!"

Li Yao: "There are no secrets in this world."

Wang Xueyi: "The Staff Department has it."

Li Yao: "..."

He asked, "Don't you even tell your own people?"

Wang Xueyi was puzzled. "Why tell our own people? Only three people know the details of this matter so far: you, me, and the Chief of General Staff. With the Chief of General Staff protecting us, this matter won't leak out! Even if no one in our department knows, we'll definitely have to give advice to the Operations Department later."

Li Yao: "..."

This is truly a case of betraying even one's own people!

Li Yao seemed to understand why Feng Li had such a strong opinion about the people in the Staff Department...

All they talk about are those filthy, disgusting people! They've clearly been scammed before!

Wang Xueyi retorted righteously, "Only by dragging our own people down can we drag people from other forces down as well! Don't you think that makes sense?"

After speaking, he stared expectantly at Li Yao, as if seeking Li Yao approval! Li Yao pursed his lips, not daring to respond! Seeing that Li Yao remained unmoved, Wang Xueyi leaned closer and said, "The location set up this time is in a small subspace of an Egyptian god. We actually discovered that subspace a long time ago and also found a way to enter through a secret door! If you go, we'll split the contents 30/70!"

Li Yao's face immediately hardened, and he said sternly, "These are all national property, is it appropriate for us to divide them like this!"

Wang Xueyi: "..."

Isn't it said that this person in front of me, though stubborn and unyielding, is easily persuaded by money and valuables?

Why are you refusing now? Li Yao: "You've put in so much effort and manpower, how can you only get 30%? Do you think I'm that petty? It's 50/50! I won't agree to anything more!"

Wang Xueyi: "???"

This is the first update. I think the pacing is okay. I hope everyone enjoys reading it. Also, thank you to the Rudder Master of February 2 for the generous donation. I've been very tired lately and haven't checked the backend. Thank you also to flamma, a certain master, Ghost Yaoshun, and readers like "Beginning with the Book and Ending with the Book" for your love. Thank you all very much. I love you all.
