I've Compensated You for Everything

Yang Xiaolong's Chinese wasn't very good, and her slip of the tongue sent the scene into a brief state of chaos. It took a long time for everyone to finally understand that what Yang Xiaolong meant was that they would work for Liu Yun to pay off their debts.

This actually wasn't a bad idea; letting these few people off the hook just like that was absolutely out of the question. If Liu Yun did that, who would fear him in the future?

"Fine, since you have this idea, then I don't mind! You can work for me to pay off your debts and prepare to be my servants for the rest of your lives."

He was finally willing to accept these few people now, and he was also thinking about heading to various places to hunt monsters and further cultivate his martial arts.

Hearing this, Glinda finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Liu Yun had no intention of leaving the HR Alliance yet. After all, Liu Yun was definitely someone who had encountered miraculous opportunities; they couldn't let him go without digging out the secret of his fortune.

"War God Liu Yun, don't look down on these girls. After all, they are the same age as you, and this is also an opportunity for you to build your own social circle!"

A gentle and strategic smile hung on Glinda's face once again. Her meaning was clear: whether it was Ruby, Yang Xiaolong, Xueni, or Blacka, they were all considered very young geniuses, even if they seemed a bit clumsy compared to Liu Yun.

If Liu Yun wanted reliable people, he had to start building from his own team. After all, friends in the same team went through life and death together, and trust could be built very quickly. In particular, these four beautiful girls with their distinct charms were people whom many others would love to befriend.

Liu Yun remained silent for a moment. He wasn't ignorant of social nuances; it was just that the passing of Little Red made it hard for him to let go.

"Are you really going to accept us?"

Ruby stepped forward with a look of doubt. In truth, their performance up until now had been very poor—one could even say it was terrible—so Liu Yun's acceptance seemed somewhat suspicious.

"Hmph, I just want you to pay off your debts. Accept you? Where did you get that idea? Until the debt is paid, you aren't allowed to go anywhere!"

Liu Yun retorted without a hint of politeness. The expressions of the four girls dimmed, but just then, Liu Yun quietly added two more sentences.

"However... it's not that I have an inherent grudge against you! Besides, aren't you also spying on the secret of my strength? That proves you have some yearning for me! We can cooperate."

He was telling the truth. In any case, he had been counter-monitoring every move of the HR Alliance. Hearing this, the "Green Tea Ancestor" began to lose her composure; after meeting Liu Yun, she always felt her skills still needed improvement.

Ruby smiled, no longer feeling awkward. If they could speak the truth, then everyone could feel more at ease.

"I think you must have obtained a magical crystal ball, and that's how you grew up, just like Cinderella..."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and every word sounded like a carefully selected musical note, making one unable to help but want to listen. Even the Green Tea Ancestor didn't possess such a fresh and refined skill.

But even this was enough to make Liu Yun lose his composure. He suppressed his rising anger and explained with a smile.

"Little sister, perhaps you're right! However, my success isn't as simple and childish as magic. It's slightly more complex than magic; we generally call it hard training."

Liu Yun had actually given up on revenge. His original intention for coming to the Jiangnan Base was to recruit some subordinates. Having these four as a start might be a bit troublesome, but a start was necessary nonetheless.

It was precisely when he was determined to build his own power that, at the grave of Little Red, several figures in black were acting suspiciously. They dug up the grave, took a feather stained with blood from Little Red, and immediately restored the grave to its original state.

Soon, this feather reached the hands of Li Yao, who was eager for revenge. Both he and his wife, Venina, held infinite passion for every possible clue.

"Venina, we must use this feather to find the murderer who killed our son." Li Yao's voice was low and firm, every word revealing unquestionable determination.

Venina clenched her fists tightly, tears shimmering in her eyes, but she didn't back down either: "No matter the cost, I must avenge Wei'er."

They quickly contacted the top team of scientists within the HR Alliance and used the most advanced DNA analysis technology to conduct a detailed study of the feather. As expected, the analysis results confirmed their suspicions—this feather indeed belonged to a rare descendant of an Undying Bird, and this species was a creature unique to that volcanic region.

In the hands of someone with an agenda, a single feather was enough to decide life and death! Li Yao recalled the various miraculous rumors about Liu Yun within the HR Alliance recently, and his heart burned with rage.

"How can there be so many coincidences in the world? It must be him! Although our investigation shows his location is in Yingzhou or Xianbeiliya (that is, Siberia; Xianbeiliya is actually a more appropriate transliteration), he still completed the Undying Bird mission and even obtained a descendant of the Undying Bird."

Li Yao's heart was already boiling with fury, and he was determined to fight to kill the true culprit. While Venina was certainly angry, she also had some concerns.

"But the evidence is insufficient. Conventional methods are hard to use against our own people in the HR Alliance, and Liu Yun also has the strength of a mid-level War God. He won't be easy to deal with!"

Li Yao's wife, Venina, analyzed the situation thoroughly. They had no normal channels to resolve this matter, and abnormal channels often came at too high a price.

"Don't worry about it! At worst, we'll ask the councilors in the family to take action. Can't we deal with such a small War God? I can kill this Liu Yun myself."

Li Yao couldn't take in these words of discouragement; he was blinded by hatred and could only think of revenge.

Venina sighed deeply and buried her head in Li Yao's chest. When she raised her delicate head again, her eyes were already bloodshot.

"I tried to capture the sister of that scoundrel Liu Yun, but unfortunately, the military got there first. We can't infiltrate the military! Perhaps only you can go and hunt him down to avenge Wei'er. I also have a gut feeling that the murderer is definitely him!"

Venina agreed with Li Yao's point of view. How could there be so many coincidences in the world? In fact, it would have been better if Little Red hadn't been killed; it wouldn't have been easy to obtain its DNA silently. Now that it had been killed, everything was exposed.

They had originally wanted to make Liu Yun experience the sorrow of losing a loved one, but unfortunately, they were blocked by the military, and Liu Ling would not appear again for a short time. Now, everything was left to Li Yao to execute. Moreover, if Li Yao found he couldn't handle it, Venina would be in even greater danger, because she might truly be able to move a Planet-level expert. When that time came, with a calculated strike against an unprepared target, even if Liu Yun didn't die, those around him would be in grave danger.

Meanwhile, Liu Yun had already prepared for his next move. His target was Australia, where the Spirit of Vegetation was located.

Once at the Planet-level, the Cell Evolution Fluid would be hard to make effective. In fact, to break away from the Apprentice stage, taking medicine was harmless and would definitely be effective—there was no doubt about that. If the Machine Race Clone couldn't even formulate medicine of this level, it might as well self-destruct.

The Cell Evolution Fluid after the Planet-level required extremely precious materials to be made. The Spirit of Vegetation was a must, and Liu Yun had long wanted to go to Australia.

"I have prepared battle suits for you. Once you put them on, your strength will be greatly improved. Let's go! Follow me directly to Australia."

Liu Yun truly treated these girls as teammates and even gave them Nano Battle Suits. These Nano Battle Suits were extremely magical; they could become like everyday clothing while still maintaining the enhancement of abilities and protection.

"What? You've been wearing this kind of thing to fight? Where can I buy this? I want to buy one too!"

After Yang Xiaolong put it on, she felt her strength leap, reaching the level of a sub-War God, and she couldn't help but be greatly excited.

On the side, Blacka, holding a Straight Blade, tested the blade with the Nano Battle Suit. She felt that her power was that of a War God.

"This isn't something you can buy; it can only be from ancient ruins..."

Blacka said quietly. These words made the expressions of the others shift. Such a treasure was priceless; perhaps even War God-level experts didn't have many pieces. The fact that Liu Yun actually gave them away showed how generous he was.

However, to Liu Yun, these were just secondary battle suits, far inferior to the Venom battle suit on his own body. This thing was like a parasite on a person; it could reverse-control ordinary people with weak wills and also provide huge combat power enhancements to others.

"This is amazing, it's simply incredible!"

The few of them sighed in this way. Things from the Machine Race were just like this: the effects were strong, the threshold for use was low, and the impact on human society was extremely huge. Once mass-produced in industrial bases, this thing would rewrite the fate of all humanity.

"Haha! Is it easy to use? However, on one hand, you must keep it a secret, and on the other hand, I'm not giving you these battle suits for free! This counts as a rental: ten million a day, no bargaining!"

Liu Yun said with a loud laugh, triggering a chorus of "Holy crap" sounds. By now, these people had even learned Chinese swear words; one could say they had changed very quickly.
