Gao Jian kept his promise. He tucked the fragment of the Yongle Encyclopedia into an old book and mailed it to Wan Hu through an international shipping service.
Wan Hu, or rather Tao Chengdao, apparently lived in Singapore.
Singapore had a large ethnic Chinese population, so it was hardly surprising that Wan Hu lived there. If he were in China, almost anything he tried to do would probably be inconvenient.
As for the "Blue Arrow Shares" Tao Wan Hu had promised him in the game, Gao Jian had not paid them much mind. The Blue Arrow Company had gone public the previous year, with a market capitalization exceeding thirty billion. Even if Wan Hu really was its largest individual shareholder, he could not simply transfer shares whenever he pleased.
From what Gao Jian learned afterward, this private aerospace company apparently had state backing, perhaps even military backing, and close ties to CNSA. Shares were not something you could transfer on a whim.
I'll deal with that when the time comes.
As for that Yongle Fragment...
Gao Jian had naturally slipped a few tricks into it.
Using his spiritual power as a guide, he had drawn runes invisible to ordinary people on the fragment describing the Fire Wheel Engine, then poured a great deal of spiritual power into it. The entire fragment of the Yongle Encyclopedia had effectively become a talisman.
A second-tier one, at that.
It was powerful enough to threaten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
This talisman, which Gao Jian had dubbed the "Yongle Talisman," could actively protect its owner, withstand one Tactical Missile-level bombardment, or deliver one rocket-level strike.
Of course, the Yongle Talisman's most important feature was its surveillance function.
The Yongle Talisman held a wisp of Gao Jian's divine sense, allowing it to passively monitor everything within
