Someone Came Bearing Money

The Li Family residence in Tianjin City:

"Miss, who are you looking for?"

Li Houming looked in puzzlement at the breathtakingly beautiful woman before him, dressed in close-fitting black armor, her long black hair cascading down.

Although he had been retired for a long time, he could tell at a glance that her armor was at least A8 Grade. He had to treat someone like her with caution when she came to the Li Family residence.

"I'm the former captain of the Black Rose Squad. My name is Bai Mengfei, and I'm here to see Li Xin."

"He saved my teammates in the Wilderness Zone, and I'd like to thank him in person."

Although Bai Mengfei had left the Black Rose Squad, its members were all like sisters to her. Since Li Xin had refused their money, she naturally wanted to thank him herself.

Besides, after learning about Li Xin's circumstances, she wanted to befriend this rising star. She knew very well how formidable spiritual psychics could be.

Hearing Bai Mengfei's name, Li Houming was deeply shocked. He had paid some attention to the Black Rose Squad. After all, it was a squad composed entirely of female martial artists-what man wouldn't take an interest?

So he knew perfectly well that Bai Mengfei, standing right before him, was a War God Level powerhouse!

"War God Bai, you're here to see Li Xin too?"

Before Li Houming could say anything, Ming Chengjun walked over. He was surprised to see Bai Mengfei as well. After all, she was a genuine War God!

"That's right!"

Bai Mengfei nodded.

Hearing her confirmation, Ming Chengjun grew wary.

Ming Chengjun knew that Bai Mengfei was a female War God from the Thunder Dojo. How could he not be wary when she came looking for Li Xin, the Extreme Martial Hall's newly rising star?

"My son isn't home, but I'll call him and ask him to come back."

With another important figure arriving at his home, Li Houming felt he could no longer handle the situation, so he hurriedly took out his phone.

"Uncle Li, there's no need to call him. Just tell me where he is, and I'll go find him."

Bai Mengfei stopped Li Houming from making the call.

"Yes, exactly. We'll go find him. There's no need to trouble him to come back."

Ming Chengjun quickly chimed in.

Left with no choice, Li Houming told them where Li Xin was.

After Ming Chengjun and Bai Mengfei left, Li Houming hurriedly called Li Xin to tell him what had happened, so he could prepare himself.

"Dad, don't worry. They're probably coming to see me about something good."

After hanging up, Li Xin continued setting up his laboratory.

He had already built more than a dozen robots here to manage the factory. With his human mind and the Eternal Divine Brain, he was like a member of the Machine Race-or rather, an intelligent life-form. Every robot he built was under his control.

[Eternal Divine Brain advancement progress: 30%]

Meanwhile, as the Eternal Divine Brain analyzed the most powerful computer he had newly purchased, its upgrade progress continued to climb.

He estimated that once the Eternal Divine Brain had thoroughly mastered the supercomputer's technology and incorporated it into itself, its upgrade progress would be more or less complete.

"The Eternal Divine Brain's upgrade progress is pretty much taken care of. All that's left is the Eternal Divine Furnace's energy problem."

He had already begun upgrading the Eternal Divine Furnace into a version capable of supplying the energy needed for the Eternal Divine Brain's advancement, solving the problem once and for all.

"Supervisor Wang, War God Bai, what brings you here?"

Only after Bai Mengfei and Ming Chengjun arrived at the factory did Li Xin emerge from his laboratory.

"Li Xin, here's the thing. The Extreme Martial Hall places great importance on talented individuals."

"Although you declined the special training program, I still secured the best benefit I could for you: a free copy of the complete Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique!"

"Your access privileges have also been raised. You can now download any technological knowledge you can see on Limit Home for free. However, that knowledge is for your eyes only."

Ming Chengjun was terrified that Bai Mengfei had come to poach him. So, after spotting several battle swords hovering behind Li Xin and confirming that he really had awakened Spiritual Force, he immediately spoke first.

"Thank you so much, Supervisor Wang!"

Naturally, Li Xin was delighted that someone had come bearing money. After all, he didn't currently have enough money to buy technique manuals and all that knowledge.

"Li Xin, thank you for saving the Black Rose Squad. There's one billion on this card. You refused payment from my sisters before, but you can't turn me down this time!"

Bai Mengfei handed Li Xin a black bank card. She knew perfectly well that, unless this young man died before reaching his potential, he was certain to become a War God. If she didn't befriend him now, she might never get another chance.

"Since you put it that way, War God Bai, I'll gladly accept."

With someone offering him such a large sum, Li Xin naturally wouldn't refuse. He was short on money right now.

One billion wasn't a huge amount, but it was no small sum either.

"No need to stand on ceremony. I might have to rely on you someday."

"Here's my contact information. If you run into any difficulties in the future, you can contact me."

Bai Mengfei was straightforward, too. After giving him her contact information, she left.

"Li Xin, if anything comes up, you can also come find me at the Extreme Martial Hall. My name still carries some weight here in Kyoto Base City."

Seeing that Bai Mengfei hadn't tried to poach him, Ming Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief. He left his contact information and departed as well.

"Now that I have money, I'll buy another ten flying swords. I need to replace my battle swords with A9 ones, too, and buy some other technological equipment and raw materials."

After seeing the two off, Li Xin immediately upgraded his equipment again.

Then he returned to his laboratory, in no hurry to go out hunting monsters again.

As the saying went, sharpening the axe didn't delay the woodcutting. Only after getting the Eternal Divine Furnace ready and setting up his money-making operation back home could he maximize the strength he gained from hunting monsters.

Half a month passed in a flash. Li Xin had completely renovated the once-abandoned factory.

There wasn't a single human worker anywhere in it. Intelligent robots did all the work.

[Eternal Divine Brain upgrade progress: 100%]

[Eternal Divine Furnace has insufficient energy. Unable to upgrade.]

Over those days, Li Xin had thoroughly studied the entire supercomputer and integrated it into the Eternal Divine Brain. He had even built the final version of the Eternal Divine Furnace.

The two-meter-tall robot standing before Li Xin was the combined form of the Eternal Divine Brain and the Eternal Divine Furnace.

Although the Eternal Divine Brain had integrated the supercomputer, its own core had become even smaller. The supercomputer had now become a subsystem of the Eternal Divine Brain, as well as the factory's central Control Core.

Even when the Eternal Divine Brain wasn't here, it could control the entire factory through the supercomputer.

"Time to go hunting!"

At a thought from Li Xin, the robot before him transformed into a rectangular metal box and hovered beside him.

Li Xin went to his garage, where an off-road vehicle he had modified was parked. Its body was three times larger than his previous vehicle's, and its performance was more than ten times better.

After letting his family know where he was going, Li Xin stepped on the accelerator and sped toward the wilderness.
