Qi Dian went out and walked around, and the number of people gathered at the door not only did not decrease, but became more.
Everyone wanted to see if anyone would come out to do some work soon.
The video of Backpack Weirdo making an impassioned speech and then being struck by lightning has spread at the speed of light. Now Qi Dian is finally as popular as Xing'er on the same city network. Countless people forwarded the lightning strike with the text "Hahahaha"...
I got the heat I dreamed of, but Qi Dian didn't feel happy.
Even a little desperate.
"If this kind of embarrassing video spreads, how can I be a proud idol in the future..." He looked up at the sky, about to cry without tears.
"Think on the bright side. Even without this video, you wouldn't be able to do it." Xing'er comforted her kindly.
For some reason, after she comforted him, Qi Dian cried.
Yue Wen smiled and said, "This is a blessing in disguise for us. We have found a new way to charge you Heavenly Thunder Power."
"That's right." Qi Dian scratched his head, "Although it's not very decent, but you don't have to wait all day at the critical moment."
The fact that being struck by lightning is equivalent to charging up is indeed a surprise for him. Otherwise, like before, he would have to recharge for a whole day after fighting with all his strength.
Qi Dian had been lucky before. Fortunately, Nightmare Town held on on the third night and steadily entered the top 16. In this way, he only needed to fight once in the breakout round. If he was allowed to compete in two arenas in one day, Heavenly Thunder Power would not be enough.
When Yue Wen was about to go back and continue to study Divine Sword Lightning Control Art, a message suddenly came from the phone, which was sent by Dong Mengyao, "There is a friend who wants to meet you and talk about something. It only takes fifteen minutes, okay?"
Dong Mengyao does have a wide network of contacts in Jiang City, but this thing does not come for nothing. If you can find people to help you, it means that you should also help when others find you.
She had helped him a lot before, so Yue Wen gave her this face and replied, "No problem, just ask him to come to the back door of our office."
"I only said that I would help introduce him. As for what he wants to talk to you about, you don't have to look at my face." Dong Mengyao added. Seeing her saying this, Yue Wen vaguely understood that the person who came here was probably not a good person. She must have been forced to help under some pressure. After a while, a man in his thirties squeezed through the crowd to the back door and slipped in through the crack in the door.
He was wearing a business suit jacket, had short hair, was slim, and looked kind-hearted.
"Sit." Yue Wen welcomed the person in, pointed to the sofa, and said with a smile, "Sister Yao's friends are my friends, just treat this as your own home." The man nodded politely and introduced himself, " My subordinate, He Tang, is the deacon disciple of the Good Fortune Sect. I am responsible for operating the branch of our sect in Jiang City... I ask Boss Yue to keep this confidential."
"Good Fortune Sect's sub-rudder?" Yue Wen nodded, "I'm sorry."
In the world of spiritual practice, many large sects have their own properties. After all, the higher you go, the more expensive it is to practice. No one can afford to support so many disciples without property.
The practice of some large sects has no special characteristics. They are just strong in cultivation. Instead, they can only do some regular things and the industry development is average. The most common ones are to make money by accepting tasks, helping surrounding cities to drive away evil spirits and escort goods, like a larger office. The stronger ones can also receive official escort tasks, which is to escort people passing between cities. Flying Boat, but this is a business that only first-class large sects can take on. If the inheritance itself has advantages, a medicine refining sect like Pudu Sect will run a pharmaceutical company; a weapon refining sect like Tiangong Gate will run a weapon refining business. These are the most profitable businesses, so naturally there is no need to say more.
The inheritance of some small sects is more unique. Even if the sect is weak, the industries developed are still very profitable.
For example, there is a small southern sect called Turtle Breath Sect. The Cultivation Method inherited from the sect is not very powerful in combat, but there is a move in Cultivation Method that can suppress the breath for a long time, making it extremely difficult to pretend to be dead. It is so lifelike that it can almost look real. It was originally a small and weak sect of the fourth and fifth ranks. Later, a generation of sect leaders suddenly had a whim and specially took over the business of collecting debts from gangsters. If they did not pay back the money, they would send disciples to hang themselves in front of Lao Lai's house every day. The effect was very good, and the sect became prosperous in one fell swoop.
There is a martial arts sect called Eight-Armed Gate. There is nothing strong about its inheritance. The only feature is that Cultivation Method can grow six extra arms and increase its strength. But other than that, it has no other advantages. Sect Leader can compete with others. He was often beaten up and looked ugly, so it was very difficult to develop. Then one day he suddenly realized that if I can't beat you... why don't I just provide you with services? So he turned around and opened a massage parlor to relax the muscles and bones of practitioners with strong bodies. Now he has opened hundreds of branches in several continents.
There is also a small sect called Snake Mouth Sect. Cultivation Method can cultivate a large mouth that can expand freely, and the tongue can also become a long letter... Later, the whole sect started to engage in mukbang, and now the traffic is very high.
When Good Fortune Sect started, it was such a small sect. The sect inherited and practiced the method of luck. Different from Dragon Pool Carp Pinching Art, Good Fortune Sect's method of practice was more utilitarian, and they all tried to find ways to help themselves increase their luck.
However, this kind of luck has side effects. For example, it takes ten days of bad luck to get good luck in one day. The price of making a lot of money is to suffer a bloody disaster. The price of awakening one's physical fitness is to become an orphan. Even my own Sect Leader does not dare to abuse it at will.
Good Fortune Sect has been living in poverty for decades. Later, the new headmaster thought of a way to make money, which was to help others get lucky. Although they would clearly tell others that there was a price for getting lucky, there were always people who would forcefully install it regardless of the risks, just like the disciples of the Pudu Sect who were afraid of the side effects and did not dare to take medicine, but instead made a fortune by selling medicine.
Good Fortune Sect disciples did not dare to change their luck for fear of the cost, but instead made a fortune by changing their luck for others.
Later, the leader of the Good Fortune Sect discovered that many people who had changed their luck were going to casinos, so he simply opened a casino. Later, he found that opening a casino was more profitable than changing people's luck!
You need to provide services to improve people's luck. If you open a casino, you just do nothing and wait for others to send money to your door.
Up to now, Good Fortune Sect has become the number one giant in the gambling industry. With the money he earned, he has developed his sect into a first-class sect, with casinos in hundreds of cities, large and small.
However, most cities do not allow blatant gambling, so they mostly open underground casinos, which is why He Tang needs to keep it secret. He can manage a casino in River City at a young age, so his status within the Good Fortune Sect should be high.
After all, Yue Wen is familiar with the position of sub-rudder, and it generally belongs to the most outstanding young talents in various factions.
"We can't talk about the helmsman, he just helps the sect run a small business." He Tang smiled modestly, and then said, "I came to see Boss Yue today because it is also related to our sect's business."
"Oh?" Yue Wen tilted his head and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.
"City Hero Battle is very popular, and our casino has always done some related handicaps. For example, in this ranking battle, originally Brother Yue, you were a strong candidate for the top sixteen or even the top eight, but now you fell to the last place, causing many people to lose money with us."
"In the next breakout match, you have to start from the bottom of the track and play eight games in a row to advance. You must also know the difficulty." He Tang said quietly, "In the history of Jiang City, no one has ever achieved a comeback with eight consecutive kills, so the probability is extremely low." "It is indeed difficult." Yue Wen nodded.
"So, you will definitely lose along the way, but where you lose is very important." He Tang added, "I came here today just to think about whether I can discuss a cooperation with you. When the track list comes out, can we have a tacit understanding and lose in the race with the highest odds." "A fake race?" Yue Wen said, "Sorry, I may not have this idea."
"Brother Yue, don't refuse in a hurry." He Tang advised, "You see, the possibility of us breaking through is so low. If we lose, we will lose everything. Why not use that loss to give us some money for future practice, right? After all, you are a casual cultivator and have no background support. There is no need to feel sorry for doing this."
Yue Wen laughs, why do you feel that in the eyes of these people, casual cultivators are scum who can do anything for money?
Pudu Sect used to advertise for Medicine Dragon and came after him, but now the casino is also looking for him when it comes to fake matches. Now there is only one pornographic, gambling and drug addict left. "My current idea is to try my best to get out of the breakout competition." Yue Wen said truthfully.
"We have calculated the probability. You are a casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Gang Realm, and your opponents will have Immortal Gate disciples in the early and middle stages of the Gang Realm, and there may even be those in the late stage of the Gang Realm. According to the probability, this may be infinitely close. Yu Ling, although your combat power may be stronger than that of ordinary casual cultivators, if you fight eight games in a row, all your tricks and trump cards will be forced out, and mental and physical exhaustion are also a big problem." He Tang said seriously, "The idea of a successful breakout is a bit too naive."
"Ho ho, we can look at this later. There are only three days left, and I have to continue to prepare for the war. Brother He, I won't send you off." Yue Wen shook his head and said nothing more.
Letting this person sit here and chat for a few minutes is already giving Dong Mengyao face. If it wasn't for her sake, he would have closed the door and let Xing'er go. "Okay." He Tang left a business card and said, "If you change your mind after the track list comes out, you can contact me at any time." Yue Wen took the business card, looked at it and smiled, "I'll go to your place when I have time."
He Tang and Yue Wen chatted peacefully for a while, then turned around and walked out of the back door, squeezing out of the crowd.
After watching him leave, Xing'er asked, "If you reject him this time, he won't get angry and stumble you secretly, right?"
"There are so many stumbling blocks." Yue Wen smiled and waved his hand.
People who can run a big business in one place must be well-rounded and kind to others. Being rejected is not a big deal. Unless it is the most fundamental conflict of interests, no one will easily become enemies.
The only thing Yue Wen was worried about in River City was Hu Family, because they once destroyed Hu Family's research institute, and later he robbed Fox Demon Empress's treasure in the Fox Demon Secret Realm and handed it over to the Supervision Bureau, leaving Hu Family with nothing.
In the Hu Family's view, this should be regarded as touching their most fundamental interests, so Yue Wen has been so actively interacting with the Supervision Bureau during this period. A large part of the reason is to have a backer to guard against the Hu Family's revenge.
Fortunately, according to True Person Ming Guang, she will completely liquidate Hu Family as soon as City Hero Battle is over, so she shouldn't have to be careful for too long. The most important thing now is to improve her own strength to ensure that she can break out of the siege in the second round. Divine Sword Lightning Control Art has been initially mastered... but it's not very accurate.
Once you have mastered this sword technique, you can then practice Rampaging Dragon Bloodburn Art and Flame Pupil Swallow-Illuminating Art. It is best to practice all three magical powers before the start of the breakout competition.
Although it is very difficult, Yue Wen thinks you can give it a try.
If you don't push yourself, you will never know where the upper limit of your understanding is.
He was about to go back when he heard Xing'er ask, "Boss, what should we eat for lunch?"
"Huh?"
Only then did Yue Wen realize that he couldn't order takeout now. As for cooking... He looked at Xing'er and looked at her; then he turned his attention to Qi Dian and looked at him again; after receiving their helpless expressions, he looked at Big White.
Big White was stunned for a second and then shouted, "Woof woof woof woof!"
Qi Dian said, "It said it can really try."
Yue Wen sighed softly, "Is it credible?"
"Of course it's not credible!" Qi Dian shouted, "Three big people can't play mahjong as well as a dog, and they can't cook as well as a dog, right?!"
Hu Family.
On the large black pure leather sofa, Hu Yunting was relaxing with his mobile phone. He happened to browse the video of Yue's Cultivation Firm's door and saw Qi Dian being struck by a thunderbolt.
"Divine Sword Lightning Control Art?" His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he realized something.
As a disciple of the Famous Sword Academy, he naturally has seen and heard of the Azure Nether Sect's three secret sword techniques.
"What's wrong?" Hu Hanyi stood up from the dining table next to him, stepped on the soft antique velvet carpet on the ground, and came behind Hu Yunting. "It's okay." Hu Yunting swiped the video away with a swipe of his finger, and then put down the phone.
Hu Hanyi just caught a glimpse and said with a smile, "Are they the casual cultivators from that office again? Don't worry, dad has already arranged it. They can't threaten your position as captain River City. Just think about how to deal with Li Feixia."
Hu Yunting turned to look at his father and said very seriously, "Whether it's Li Feixia or Yue Wen, I can defeat them openly with my strength."
Hu Hanyi was startled, then smiled and said, "Of course, my son is the best."
"I'm going to the practice room." Hu Yunting said, leaving a few words and turned to leave.
Watching his son's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Hu Hanyi picked up his cell phone again and dialed a number.
"Hello?" He asked in a deep voice, "How are you doing? Is your plan going well?"
