Expensive property in the capital
"I also heard that Yuchi Dao gave you the pass for The Brotherhood's Trade Carnival?" Qin Mang asked.
Xia Fei nodded. "That's right. I met him in the Black Abyss galaxy, and we almost had a misunderstanding. So far, Yuchi Dao is the strongest opponent I've ever encountered. His magnetic ability has already reached the Eternal rank, and he's pressured me to the point where I can hardly breathe. It's a good thing that he's friends with you, old man; otherwise, I'm afraid that I would have been left there by him."
Qin Mang snorted disapprovingly. What's the use of having a high cultivation? He's the most unreliable person I've ever known in my life. Did he tell you his nickname?
Xia Fei smiled. According to him, his nickname is the Late Father; I wonder if it's true or not.
More accurately, he should be called the Forever Late Duke! Qin Mang huffed. Yuchi Dao has always been a careless and eccentric person since he was young. Remember, don't count on him for anything. He'll never be able to keep his promises. Qin Mang sighed.
Xia Fei did not say anything. He did not want to get involved in the complaints of Qin Mangs brothers.
"The Brotherhood's Trade Carnival is only held once every three years. It's a unique event within the Alliance. How could he be willing to give you the pass?"
"Yuchi Dao said that he would be late anyway, so there was no point in keeping the pass, so he gave it to me." With that said, Xia Fei took out a metal plate made of some unknown material from his spatial ring and handed it to Qin Mangs. Old man, take a look; this is what he gave me.
Qin Mang took the pass in his hand and glanced at it before returning it to Xia Feis hand it over. Not bad. This is the pass to participate in the trade carnival. Do you plan to take a look?
Xia Fei nodded. "I heard that there will be plenty of top-tier items in the Alliance appearing in this trade fair, so I'm thinking of going there to broaden my horizons. Besides, it's going to be held very close to the capital ring, and I'm going there to pick a new office for Quantum Holdings anyway, so I'm thinking of going there to take a look."
Qin Mang said, "It's good to go and take a look. Maybe you'll find something useful there. Right, I have a house on a planet called Duiwu in the periphery of the capital ring. I'll go with you when you go there."
Xia Fei curiously asked, "Old man? Are you not satisfied with living on Earth? "
Qin Mangs shook his head. Earth is fine. I'm going to the capital because I have something to take care of.
…
Three days later, Xia Fei, Qin Mangs, and Andre boarded the Impaler and set off for the capital ring.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would one day be able to leave Earth and explore the bustling universe. What's more, I'm going to the capital of the Pan-Human Alliance!" Andre's eyes were filled with excitement as he stood by the ship's window.
Xia Fei smiled. "The Pan-Human Alliance has a d * mn rule that non-ability users can't get an interstellar travel passport. Now that Quantum Holdings is an A-list supplier to the military, any employee of the company will no longer be bound by this rule. You can go wherever you want."
Qin Mang laughed. "At my age, it's already good enough for me to go to the capital ring. I really don't dare to think about anything more."
Xia Fei said, "Don't say that. Charlie and the others still have to stay on Earth to deal with the relocation of the headquarters. Finding a suitable office space in the capital and planning the company's relocation is all up to you."
Moving the headquarters of Quantum Holdings from Earth to the capital was a plan that Xia Fei had come up with long ago. After all, the capital had the best and most concentrated resources in the Pan-Human Alliance. Although it seemed like a huge expense now, it would be more beneficial to the long-term development of Quantum Holdings. Moreover, being able to establish a headquarters in the capital, where every inch of land was worth gold, was in itself a manifestation of strength.
"If there's nothing else, I'd like to go back to my room and continue my cultivation," Xia Fei said to Qin Mangs and Andre.
Qin Mangs and Andre expressed that they could take care of themselves, and Qin Mangs even volunteered to monitor the Impaler so that Xia Fei could focus on his cultivation.
In the small room next to his bedroom, Xia Fei sat cross-legged. Phantom said, "At present, your main ability, speed, has already reached the Intermediate Star River rank, maintaining a speed of around ten thousand meters per second. Your second ability, Thought Control, is a little worse, at the Low Star Domain rank. You can perfectly use the level one martial technique of psychokinesis, Demon Axe, and level two martial technique, Thunderstorm, but the stronger Thousand Venerables will still put a lot of pressure on you, so try not to use it unless you're fighting for your life.
"Level four of the Beast Spirit Codex is enough to deal with the vast majority of exotic beasts, and the level three cloning technique, Delusion, has yet to be tested."
Xia Fei smiled and added, "I still have Sly Thrust."
Phantom said, "Indeed, but you've already perfectly grasped Sly Thrust. You just need to spend some time practicing it once every day. What I want to say is that you still have four ultimate techniques that you need to improve. You should understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew."
"I understand," Xia Fei softly said. Xia Fei softly said, "You think that I'll be distracted if I cultivate so many techniques at the same time, but I don't think so. There's no harm in having more skills. Every one of my abilities and martial techniques have their own uses, so I've decided to continue improving them at the same time."
Phantom chuckled. "Of course, that's not what I mean. I just think that you should focus on one of your abilities during this half a month in the capital ring and try to improve it by a level."
Xia Fei nodded. "What you say makes sense. I'll focus on cultivating Thought Control for this half a month."
He took out a thin booklet from his spatial ring. Aside from Xia Fei himself, no one else knew of its existence.
After a year on Heritage Planet, Xia Fei had not only improved his combat awareness, but more importantly, he had obtained this Thought Control manual.
Unlike his speed ability, Thought Control was not Xia Fei's innate ability but a support-type extension ability. His damaged seventh brain region meant that Xia Fei could not rely on cultivation to improve his speed ability, but his second ability, Thought Control, was not affected.
It was true that it was Xia Fei's ability, but it was independent of his seventh brain region. Such a mystical ability could only be obtained in a place like Heritage Planet.
Not only did the booklet record the method to increase the intensity of one's thoughts, but it also recorded a nameless martial technique. Xia Fei called this nameless martial technique psychokinesis.
Martial techniques were separated into nine levels, and each level had a corresponding level.
At the Primary Star Light rank, one could cultivate the first level of psychokinesis, Demon Axe. At the Advanced Star Light rank, one could perfectly execute the Demon Axe. At the Star Base rank, one could cultivate the second level, Thunderstorm. At the Star Domain rank, one could cultivate the third level, Thousand Venerables, and so on.
Xia Fei was currently at the Primary Star Domain rank and could already use the Thousand Venerables martial technique, but it wasn't perfect. Forcefully using it would cause great damage to his body. Xia Fei planned to improve his Thought Control while he was on the warship, striving to raise it to the Advanced Star Domain rank.
…
Cultivating Thought Control was rather boring. Xia Fei would constantly try to use his thoughts to lift heavy objects and control them to fly around.
As his rank increased, the objects that Xia Fei could control would become heavier.
Xia Fei controlled a four-hundred-kilogram metal ball to quickly circle in the air.
"Change direction!"
Xia Fei roared and unleashed a large amount of brainwaves! The heavy metal ball no longer followed a fixed trajectory and flew around like a butterfly! It was dragging an afterimage behind it!
"Hold on! There are still five minutes left! "Phantom encouraged Xia Fei.
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and struggled to hold on. The immense mental pressure was making his brain ache.
Five minutes later, the metal ball slowly landed on the ground. Xia Fei heaved a sigh of relief and laid flat on the ground.
"Success! Xia Fei, your Thought Control has already reached the Advanced Star Domain rank. With your current level, you can completely use your consciousness to lift your own weight and fly! "
Xia Fei was panting heavily. Flight was a watershed in assessing a control ability user. When a person's mental strength reached that level, they would be able to step on weapons and perform all sorts of unimaginable maneuvers, and no obstacle would be able to stop them from advancing.
Xia Fei was lucky. His ability and his martial arts techniques all had a subtle connection with each other. His speed ability was able to maximize Sly Thrust's nimbleness and unpredictability, while the Beast Spirit Codex and Delusion were both brain-controlled martial arts techniques that required mental manipulation to be strengthened.
"You can now perfectly use the Thousand Venerables martial technique without suffering any damage, but the fourth martial technique, Fearless, will still need some time," Phantom excitedly said.
…
Duiwu was an important agricultural planet near the capital ring. Sixty percent of the fruits in the capital came from this planet.
Qin Mang's house was at the bottom of a hill, and there was a boundless strawberry plantation as far as the eye could see. The bright red fruits were plentiful and pleasing to the eye.
Thuram had already sent someone to clean up this abandoned mansion. Qin Mang had many friends in the capital ring, so there was naturally someone to take care of him, so there was no need for Xia Fei to be distracted.
After bidding farewell to Qin Mang, Xia Fei piloted the Impaler to the capital and parked it at the docking point outside of the Venal Galaxy. Afterward, he and Andre took a passenger plane to the capital.
"Which planet should we set up our headquarters on? You should know that aside from the six military planets in the capital Venal Galaxy, there are still twenty-three planets suitable for human habitation. All of them are picturesque and have their own unique characteristics, "Andre asked.
Xia Fei replied, "I've already thought about it. Let's set it up on Venal 19. Quantum Holdings mainly produces military machinery, and the four major warship companies and other machinery companies in the Alliance have their headquarters on Venal 19. It'll be easier for us to communicate with them if we're neighbors.
"Plus, the nearby Venal 20 is the economic lifeline of the Alliance, while Venal 17 is where the Alliance's government and upper and lower chambers are located. It's a pretty good location."
Andre agreed. He turned on his microcomputer and checked a few real estate websites in the capital ring. He exclaimed in shock, "Heavens! Venal 19's commercial real estate index is actually over 1,800 points! That's the sixth highest price in the entire Venal Galaxy! On average, every square meter of office costs six hundred thousand star coins! The more prosperous ones are even higher! "
"Six hundred thousand star coins per square meter! That's practically daylight robbery! "
