Pull In the Genius, Blades Flashing

Inside a coffee shop in Bear City.

Hai Zida met Xu Gou and Gao Linzhi.

"This is our boss. He's the number one player in the community, a complete and overwhelming force. He came here today especially for Brother Hai," Xu Gou introduced Gao Linzhi.

"Hello, may I ask your surname?" Hai Zida politely extended his hand.

"My surname is Gao, Mr. Hai. As a young genius, you should understand best what the most painful thing for a genius scientist is, right?" Gao Linzhi said with a smile.

"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Hai Zida somewhat unconvinced.

He thought, "You're not a scientist, how do you know?"

"Of course, it's a scientific problem that's about to be solved, but my life is coming to an end. Archimedes said this before he was killed by the brutal Roman soldiers. Let me solve these problems. I can't leave them to future generations, can I?" Gao Linzhi said with a smile.

Hai Zida was immediately filled with awe.

Clearly, this Mr. Gao understands and respects science; otherwise, he wouldn't know about Archimedes.

"Yes, the brutal soldier was dealt with by the Roman general afterward. The Roman general understood the value of Archimedes, but ordinary people rarely do. He severed a head with a single sword stroke, a head that only appears once every few centuries."

"That's right, and this kind of thing has continued to happen. Humans always squander the genius minds that nature has generously and randomly bestowed upon them, which is why humans have always suffered nature's punishment: disease, aging, and death." Gao Linzhi and said.

Hai Zida immediately became interested.

The other person had hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, we geniuses aren't afraid of any difficulties, we're only afraid of not having enough time to finish our work."

"Join us, and you'll have plenty of time, because we're going to turn back time and bring the dead back to life," Gao Linzhi casually uttered a famous quote.

"I understand, I'm willing..."

"Wait, Hai Zi, you can't join them!" a woman's voice rang out urgently.

There was a woman in high heels, dressed fashionably... in short, a woman who commanded respect from men.

No wonder Hai Zida infatuated with her.

"Why?" Hai Zida, somewhat dissatisfied.

He had just had a pleasant conversation with Gao Linzhi, and he believed that the other party could meet his requirements and would not pose any threat to him.

However, the charming woman didn't notice this; she simply said to herself, "You shouldn't join them; they're all from small companies."

"It's unreliable."

"To put it bluntly, they're a company made up of a bunch of bastards."

"They definitely won't treat you well, and they'll probably get rid of you in the future."

The woman kept talking, completely Hai Zida's increasingly unpleasant expression.

"They'll only betray you after they've served their purpose, Hai Zi, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Gao Linzhi immediately laughed upon hearing this.

"That's ridiculous! Saying something like that just shows that you're that kind of person!" Xu Gou then acted as Gao Linzhi's mouthpiece.

How could a powerful figure argue with such an ignorant woman?

If Gao Linzhi even acknowledges her, it means he has lost.

"You have no idea how powerful our Four Village Trading Company is!"

"You think you've chosen a good company for your boyfriend?"

"Actually, you're nothing more than a crow. When an eagle flies by, you crow quickly swoops down and hides the dead rat you've left behind."

"You have no idea, eagles wouldn't even bother eating those dead mice."

"After all you've said, do you think everyone does things the same way you do?"

"Absolutely not! You don't know our boss's magnanimity. He wants to achieve Immortality and gather the most talented people!"

"The most talented!"

"Did you hear me? You foolish woman!"

The woman was furious upon hearing this.

She grabbed Hai Zida's clothes:

"Look at this, you haven't even started the job yet, and she's already saying this to me?"

"What kind of attitude is this?"

"Can you really tolerate them like this? Do you still want to join them?"

Suddenly, with that one grab, Hai Zida lost all interest in this woman.

All the love has vanished.

That's just how geniuses are; their interest comes quickly and goes quickly.

Love comes quickly, but rationality quickly fades away.

He has absolutely no loyalty to women.

He only follows his heart and enjoys what he feels.

Once that feeling is gone, one will decisively leave.

So he calmly pushed the woman's hand away. "Lizhi, let's break up."

"What, break up?" The woman immediately flew into a rage. "You weren't like this before!"

What kind of attitude is this?

"Are you going to break up with me just because I advised you not to fall for their tricks?"

"No, I want to write about you, I want to write about you, write about you..."

Hai Zida didn't care at all. "Go ahead and submit your manuscript, it doesn't matter."

"I'm not someone who makes money through advertising or a persona."

Hai Zida's cruel and heartless words immediately enraged the woman.

She turned and walked away.

Not long after.

She returned, and another middle-aged man appeared behind her.

Not far from that man, there were two teams of bodyguards in black following him.

"Look, the boss of that big company came to greet you personally," the woman said resentfully.

She was determined to prove her ex-boyfriend's choice was wrong.

She made only one mistake in her entire life: choosing the wrong boyfriend.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to find someone who is absolutely loyal?

She shouldn't have rejected those sycophants; she should have kept trying for a few more years.

And at this time...

The middle-aged man behind the woman stepped forward.

Two bodyguards followed him closely.

One of the bodyguards was a burly, very strong man, almost unlike an ordinary person.

The burly bodyguard stood directly to the left of the middle-aged man, almost completely obscuring him.

"Gentlemen, I am Wang Wenzhou, the chairman of the Fifth Generation Company."

"Interesting, is he personally coming to persuade them?"

"Want to visit Zhuge Liang three times? Interesting."

Gao Linzhi couldn't help but laugh.

It seems this genius is indeed very valuable.

I made the right choice coming here.

These large, established companies have many flaws, but for ordinary people, there is still a set of standards for judging them.

We will carefully investigate how advanced the technology is and how much practical value it has, and then write a complex investigation report and a proposed solution.

This is far superior to just randomly guessing and making decisions.

At this moment, Wang Wenzhou smiled and said, "To be able to say something interesting, it seems you must be the famous number one on the list, Mr. Canxue."

"We naturally have great admiration for your deeds."

"However, we also hope you can treat us with some dignity."

"After all, we at Fifth Generation are a big company, and Kidney had the last laugh."

Gao Linzhi but smile.

"If I have to give you dignity myself, what right do you have to deserve it?"

"I'm sorry, the name 'Fifth Generation Company' does not exist in my dictionary."

Gao Linzhi's words immediately provoked Chairman Wang Wenzhou.

He waved to the people behind him and said, "Okay, very good."

"It seems the rumors were true; you're someone who never gives face to companies or powerful families."

"But young man, I advise you not to forget, the only place with the most people you need is our family."

"If you don't give me face, then I'll make them not give you face either."

Upon hearing this, Gao Linzhi help but smile.

"Haha, whatever you like."

The middle-aged man's eyes darted around. "In that case, Tathagata a wager?"

"If you can successfully defeat the people we send, we are not only willing to release this genius, but also to prevent his ex-girlfriend from going through any legal proceedings."

"At the same time, we should also invest a large sum of money in this brilliant scientist to help him complete his research as soon as possible."

"And that game slot, consider it an advance investment we made for him."

Gao Linzhi smiled.

I have to say, these guys are really smart.

Especially these guys, they've trained hard since they were little.

They knew that once Gao Linzhi intervened, they wouldn't be able to get their hands on the so-called fashion items.

Because the previous strategy was to retreat and seek one's own goals, on the one hand, it was to test Gao Linzhi's strength.

On the other hand, it also meant preparing to receive this genius in advance.

Upon hearing this, he looked at the brilliant mathematician.

The other person nodded, clearly showing no regret about his decision to become Gambler.

There was nothing to be dissatisfied with or offended about this Hai Zida.

Because this is precisely how one proves their worth.

As a scientist, he understands best that a person's greatest achievement lies in the value of their Mental Power.

Investing in you is only possible if others perceive you as valuable.

Just like all the projects he's done in the past.

Projects without value will not attract investment and will ultimately become a black hole.

This is a black hole caused by bad debts.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The woman standing to the side said angrily:

"That's not what you just said to me. You said we would kill you all afterward, like killing a rabbit after it's caught and discarding it once the birds are gone."

Gao Linzhi but say, "I really was wrong about that, I'm very sorry."

Xu Gou had no choice.

The boss originally didn't want to be here, but he seemed to value this scientist highly, so he came in person, wasting a poster in the process.

Similarly, women tend to be a bit too simplistic in their thinking.

He would be furious if anyone disobeyed the Five Dynasties.

Gao Linzhi immediately laughed.

Sure enough, I'm sitting tight.

They haven't even conquered the world yet, and they're already fighting over it.

How ridiculous!

And at this time...

The middle-aged chairman nodded and said, "Alright then, I have an idea."

"Since you refuse to back down, then we'll be the red and black sides, and the competition will begin."

Then the chairman said to the Barbarian Bull- like bodyguard behind him:

"Barbarian Bull, are you sure you can handle this?"

"Confidence?" the Barbarian Bull analyzed dismissively.

Clearly, in his eyes, only physical condition and rank determine everything.

"What is that? Can you eat it?"

"I'm a level 45 Expert Level shieldbearer."

"You could say I'm in the top tier of players; I know Canxue."

"He's strong, but that's because he cheated. He has the talent to spend money on in-game purchases, which others don't."

"He makes a lot of money just by buying items from the game store and reselling them to players, which makes him very strong."

"However, he also did something wrong, namely, he kept his level stuck."

"As long as he stays at the Level Lock, his current strength can't possibly be stronger than mine."

"That's good. I'm relieved now. His strength is inferior to yours, so we have even less to worry about him surpassing us," the middle-aged chairman said with satisfaction.

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely defeat him easily."

Gao Linzhi didn't care after hearing this.

Soon, the two led the group to a high platform.

Gao Linzhi chose to show contempt because he needed to assess his own strength.

This Substitute Puppet cannot fully unleash his own power.

Currently, we can only utilize 20-30% of our full potential.

The platform, a full two hundred meters high, was clearly a mound.

Meanwhile, in the distance, many people set up telescopes, ready to monitor the actual combat strength of the players in real time.

At this very moment, the image on their minds was entirely focused on who would ultimately win.

They even started making bets...

These people are all wealthy individuals, and they have a history of using underhanded tactics.

Now, naturally, they worry that others will use the same methods on them.

These are some of the local wealthy people.

They had all heard about some of the players' experiences and had also witnessed them firsthand.

However, they have never actually seen a truly skilled player.

The previous matches were all against ordinary rookies.

To be honest, these guys, especially the new players, are quite weak.

Basically, a small, elite team of three or four people can completely control this new player.

This forces the opponent to waste time upgrading.

Either run away, or work honestly.

Two months later, these new players were all very weak, so they could only quickly earn money, buy monsters, and then kill them.

Then quickly increase your constitution; you should increase it to at least 40 points.

This is equivalent to combining multiple combat forces.

And at this time...

The Barbarian Bull Bodyguards charged at Gao Linzhi first.

In his view, he had lived a life of ambition and would never be defeated!

With a single charge, the Barbarian Bull charged straight at Gao Linzhi.

At this moment, Gao Linzhi had already seen its extraordinary nature.

The Barbarian Bull had grown to a full 3.5 meters tall.

This is a true giant.

The tallest human to date has only reached 2.7 meters.

But he grew to 3.5 meters tall.

Gao Linzhi smiled.

The Barbarian Bull's charge was indeed powerful, but he was able to block Barbarian Bull momentum with just one finger.

This Barbarian Bull doesn't know any tricks; it just keeps ramming into things.

Then, Gao Linzhi grabbed the other person's arm.

He then threw it directly upwards, and the opponent's massive body immediately flew into the air.

"Ah!" A scream of Barbarian Bull echoed from high above.

The Barbarian Bull now has a physique of at least 100.

Some of these Constitution Points come from leveling up, and some naturally come from other tasks, mainly rewards from Job Change Quest.

In fact, for ordinary indigenous people, their high physical fitness comes from the rare cultivation techniques they practice, which enhance their physique.

However, this kind of cultivation method requires at least 20 years to master, so it's something players can't enjoy for the time being.

Upgrading is the main theme of the game, and the benefits and rewards gained from upgrading are naturally substantial. This is how the game motivates players to upgrade and spend money while upgrading.

Ordinary Player can only hold their Level Lock temporarily, because in the long run they will definitely be much worse off than higher-level players.

Only someone like Gao Linzhi, who uses a Skyfall Stone to reset the resurrection Resurrection Cooldown for an infinite number of resurrections, would get stuck at level 1.
