He rubbed his hands together.
Han Fei put his hands into the water.
He pulled out the familiar bottle.
A glowing stone?
Han Fei was completely bewildered.
"This is the downside of a message in a bottle, you don't know what's inside. Hmm? Wait."
Han Fei saw there was something else inside.
He poured it out.
It was half a blood-stained piece of paper.
And it was in Chinese!
"Shadow Realm... Light-Shadow Stone... Armor... Summoner isn't the key... Bloodline..."
Han Fei's expression gradually grew serious.
"It seems I'm a European Emperor."
After properly storing the items.
Han Fei smiled happily.
So he decided to go out and stroll through the night market today.
Juxia City, as one of the largest cities in the entire country, was unparalleled in its prosperity.
Especially at night.
In recent years, with rapid development, there were many more forms of entertainment at night.
Stalls selling all sorts of glowing toys and novelties were everywhere on the streets and alleys.
And waves of different yet enticing aromas wafted through the air.
Han Fei looked at all this, his resolve to protect it strengthening in his heart. This was the scene he wanted to see.
Everyone could at least live without worrying about their lives, living in peace and stability.
As for chaos, he disliked it entirely, especially passive chaos!
He stopped the car and stepped into the crowd.
To join the revelry.
However.
"What are you doing here?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you too."
Han Fei and a very beautiful girl looked at each other.
But soon, they started walking together, talking as they went.
"You have time to come to the night market? Shouldn't you be staying in your building busy with business every day?"
"Qi Lin, in your eyes, are all wealthy people busy non-stop?"
That's right, the beauty before him was that Divine River generation Super Soldier.
"Mhm? Isn't that true?" Qi Lin asked back with a hint of playfulness.
Han Fei shrugged, not intending to argue.
"By the way, thank you for my dad's matter."
Qi Lin said suddenly.
Han Fei smiled, "Don't mention it. Besides, didn't you already treat me to a meal to thank me before? There's no need to do it again."
Qi Lin shook her head.
"No, I'm truly grateful. If it weren't for you, my dad would probably be in the hospital right now. This isn't something a simple thank you can cover. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Han Fei glanced at her.
He couldn't figure out what someone who hadn't awakened their Gene yet, and whose official position wasn't as high as her dad's, could do to help him?
Oh, no.
It wasn't that there was nothing.
Her silky long hair, delicate face, fair and straight long legs, a personality that was both playful and virtuous, and a top-notch figure.
She could be considered a suitable candidate for a girlfriend.
Wait.
He shook his head.
Abandoning some impure and degenerate thoughts.
Focusing on romance right now is disrespecting your own life.
Han Fei's eyes regained their calm.
Moreover, developing the other person into a lover doesn't align with my own interests.
As early as two months ago, he had begun a new plan.
Zhao Xin was initially someone to rely on, but after his Golden Finger awakened, he gradually became a brother. However, the plot's impact wasn't significant.
But for the subsequent plot, Han Fei didn't intend to make too many changes before the story began.
Therefore, some people couldn't be approached casually.
For example, Ge Xiaolun, and Liu Chuang.
They were both being monitored; getting close would bring nothing but harm.
But Qi Lin was different!
She was a warrior of the Divine River Civilization, not within Deno's surveillance range.
So.
Two months ago, Han Fei had someone save Qi Lin's father during an unexpected attack.
And thus, they established a connection.
And now, it's best not to mix feelings into using connections.
"Hello?"
"Hello?!"
"Huh?"
The voice in his ear was a bit loud.
It startled Han Fei.
He saw Qi Lin standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him speechlessly.
"What were you spacing out about just now?"
"Nothing, just thinking about a multi-billion dollar business deal."
"..."
Qi Lin was speechless because this guy could genuinely discuss multi-billion dollar deals. She could only cast a sidelong glance at Han Fei.
"But I thought about it and decided to give up on this big deal."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because it's not quite suitable yet."
Han Fei smiled as he looked at her.
Qi Lin perked up, "Let me tell you, although I can't compare to you in business, I feel like you have to seize opportunities. What if someone else snatches it? Or are you saying you don't even care about a multi-billion dollar deal? No way? No way?"
For some reason, Han Fei felt like laughing.
"Yes, I'm still hesitating about that multi-billion dollar deal, but thinking carefully, the other party is indeed quite good. Thank you for your advice, I will consider it carefully."
Qi Lin smiled, feeling a little happy that her advice could help him.
Even her gloomy mood improved a bit.
"We've been walking for so long, here, eat something. The snacks on this street are amazing."
Qi Lin handed a skewer of spicy fried food to Han Fei and picked up a piece of fried chicken for herself.
"I used to be a city manager. Back then, to get me to let them pack up later, people often treated me to food, and I'd give them a little leeway. Of course, I paid for it later. It's not easy for people to do business, so I could only help a little like that..."
As she spoke, Qi Lin had already swallowed a piece of fried chicken, leaving a slight greasy mark on the corner of her mouth.
Han Fei listened quietly to her words.
His three years as a businessman had sharpened his ability to read people.
He keenly sensed that Qi Lin seemed to have something on her mind. All these words were actually a form of venting.
So.
He would be a quiet listener for now.
"Here, this blood sausage is delicious, and this..."
Han Fei accepted them all.
Skewer after skewer.
Chapter 8: Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Machines
Time ticked by.
Qi Lin seemed to have eaten until she was full.
She kept letting out burps.
"Ah, I'm done for. I ate too much. I'll have to run ten kilometers tomorrow."
Qi Lin looked annoyed.
Han Fei just smiled.
He ate another chicken cutlet.
Losing weight?
That had nothing to do with him.
The cultivation of the Eight Extremes Heaven was grueling, with immense training volume, especially the foundational Body Tempering.
After all, if Body Tempering wasn't successful, one couldn't withstand the training for the other eight extreme combat styles.
So, his current appetite was actually quite large. This little bit of grease?
It was nothing.
"It's getting late. Shall I walk you?"
Han Fei asked Qi Lin proactively.
"Sorry, Azure said she's almost here and will pick me up."
Qi Lin apologized.
"Okay, no problem. I'll head off then."
"Wait, let's add each other on QQ."
Qi Lin called out to Han Fei.
