That's Hard on the Eyes!

Li Yao woke up a little late from his meditation the next day.

He stayed up too late last night with that bastard Lin Xiaowei!

They're practically like the clients at a design firm: one revision, one complaint, and they're back to it! Then they think it's too daring, so they revise it again! And after that, they say it's not lively enough, not engaging enough...

What does she want?! Li Yao felt that Lin Xiaowei was deliberately tormenting him! But thinking about it, he hadn't offended her at all recently... Li Yao was completely baffled.

Of course, he had no idea that the Mage Forum on his best friend's side was already in an uproar!

If he weren't so far away,

Lin Xiaowei could definitely shower him with a whole set of Evocation School spells! So, yes, Lin Xiaowei did it on purpose.

She figured that keeping him up until 3 a. m. was already letting him off easy! If it weren't for the fact that she herself needed to meditate and cultivate later, she could have kept him up until dawn!

After getting up, Li Yao, as usual, washed up, used Vitality Potion to wake himself up, and then began practicing his Qi Refining Technique. After persisting for so long, Li Yao's physical fitness was almost on par with that of a mid-stage second-tier superhuman.

Combined with the Spring Breeze Sword Qi, he even felt he could wield Magic Swordsman! After finishing his training...

Li Yao returned to the second floor of the Shi Sui Pavilion and lay down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to study magical knowledge, occasionally gazing out the window.

From his vantage point, he could see many men in black suits carrying folders, walking around the fields, going door-to-door to discuss demolition and relocation.

After the location of the Spiritual Research Academy was finalized,

The Wallfacers then negotiated with the relevant parties and began discussing the demolition matters.

Because of the special nature of the Spiritual Research Academy, there shouldn't be many ordinary people left on the Bagua Continent in the future.

As for the demolition compensation...

This time, Maeve Manufacturing and the Wallfacers jointly funded the project.

Originally, Li Yao wanted to invest alone, but the Wallfacers was very determined and said he would provide a lot of preferential policies, such as this land... If Li Yao took it himself, the price would be sky-high!

If the price is calculated based on the total price, rather than the price per unit area,

I'm afraid it will become the most expensive land in the provincial capital!

and,

Maeve Manufacturing has made a lot of money, but it may not be enough to just buy land.

Therefore, Li Yao eventually agreed to let them invest.

As one of only two shareholders of the Spiritual Research Academy,

Wallfacers have priority in training their warriors and students within the Spiritual Research Academy.

The latest research findings must also be shared.

certainly,

Some experienced veteran Inhuman warriors can also serve as lecturers, mentors, or even professors at the Spiritual Research Academy after retiring.

In fact, what the Wallfacers value most is the research results that the Spiritual Research Academy can provide!

This is the key to the Wallfacers becoming even stronger!

Even with the Wallfacers investing as shareholders, the subsequent construction costs were still substantial...

Maeve Manufacturing's current cash reserves are roughly enough for the initial construction budget. This is even after the Wallfacers incorporated the existing buildings of the Bagua Continent into the budget plan.

Li Yao was getting a little anxious...

How come someone who's already so rich feels like they're getting poorer? They might even need to use some of the money from their senior's investment later...

Just as Li Yao was pondering these things, Xisen strolled in from outside.

Li Yao could even see the guy knocking on the door from the second floor. When he saw Li Yao on the balcony, he started waving and yelling for Li Yao to open the door for him.

Once we got downstairs, we opened the door and let him in.

Xisen sat down under the shade of the canopy in the courtyard on the first floor and said in very broken Chinese, "Boss, shall we have some tea? I know how to make tea!"

Mr. Fu Qinghua enjoys drinking tea.

Therefore, tea tables are available in both the courtyard, the first-floor hall, and the second-floor living room.

However, Li Yao shook his head...

Although brewing tea may seem like a very particular process, it's actually just for aesthetic purposes.

It is a kind of ritual.

If you're just drinking it, most people can't really tell the difference.

So you can also soak in Xisen.

But seeing this foreign-looking guy brewing tea... that's weird!

Li Yao sat down in the main seat and asked, "Did you come here for something? Have all the people you brought been settled?"

Xisen: "Everything's settled, but I'm a bit bored... It's been too peaceful here! I've been assigned to patrol a few times recently, but there's been absolutely nothing to do, it's so tedious... So we came here to ask if there are any exciting missions we can take on?"

He's been cooped up here for ages!

Although this group of people were completely subdued after meeting Li Yao.

But before this, they weren't exactly good people.

They were responsible for many of the bloody crimes in the Romania region.

This is why they were reviewed for so long before being allowed in... After all, they were already inadequate in terms of background and resume verification.

Therefore, they had to undergo various questionnaires and mental tests, and later even congenital superhumans with psychic abilities were deployed to conduct the tests.

During that period, it was practically the same as being in prison for them.

Even after being released,

The Wallfacers also secretly monitored him for more than a month.

They were only allowed in after everything was confirmed to be in order.

Li Yao rolled his eyes after hearing Xisen's request. "You're such a jerk! Isn't peace and quiet good enough? I love it! What's the point of fighting and killing every day?"

Xisen shrugged. "Our noble Blood Clan' fighting instincts weaken if we don't fight for a long time!"

The noble Blood Clan...

"Young man, you definitely have a problem with your self-perception!" Li Yao pointed at him and said, "From now on, call yourself a vampire, and don't try to play dumb with me!"

Xisen: "..."

We vampires don't like garlic! Wait, that's not right...

We Blood Clan don't like to eat garlic!

Never mind...

Anyway, we're all under someone else's control now, and we can't even compete with a mere name.

Xisen immediately deflated and slumped into the soft chair. "Vampires are vampires, so be it. Speaking of which... no wonder when I was with Da Jin, that guy always kept saying something about how home is the best... If you want to live a peaceful life, this place is really comfortable."

Li Yao was touched. He filled the kettle with water and started boiling it. The electric kettle soon began to gurgle.

He took out a tea cake, brewed some tea, and handed a cup to Xisen: "Yes, home is still the best."

When Xisen raised his cup, Li Yao poured the tea onto the tea tray and said, "To Da Jin!"

Xisen: "..."

You should have said so earlier! I'd already drunk half of it!

He reluctantly took the cup down and spilled the liquid on the tea tray. "A toast to Da Jin!"

After putting away his teacup, he sighed, "After this incident, I suddenly realized that I've matured a lot. I was too naive before... I was always trying to prove myself. Even after leaving the clan, I still tried to dress like the elders, and even styled my hair and appearance like theirs. Later, I realized..."

Li Yao Yaoshun continued, "... Only later did we realize that the adult didn't have much hair?"

I thought about a handsome vampire with a receding hairline...

Vampire Jason Statham?

Holy crap!

That's fucking disgusting!

First update! I feel a bit tired carrying my head on my neck... I want to take it off (╥╥)!!! Hope you enjoy reading~
