As night fell, the lanterns were lit.
Tan Xiu was nestled in Ouyang Lulu's bedroom in the Paradise Club, quietly reading a financial magazine. With the widespread popularity of the Internet, Tan Xiu found that the business opportunities contained in this area were extremely huge. Even with the impact of today's physical industry, the Internet tycoon was making a lot of money.
As a former Supreme in the Immortal World, he had experienced the technology of a higher civilization. It made him realize a way to make money, and even made him aware of several businesses that relied on online marketing.
AI!
It was once a necessity for people in a higher civilization, such as the mobile phone in today's society. The AI had a complete set of functions, integrating communication and network into one. It was convenient and portable, and contained a shopping mall in a virtual space. One could use the virtual screen to browse the Internet, and one could immerse one's consciousness into the virtual shopping mall. One could achieve the effect of going out shopping even without leaving the house.
Games!
It also contained a gold mine of business. < Elite Fighting Arena >, < Speed Arena >, < World of Cultivation >, < Interstellar Voyage > …
When Tan Xiu arrived in a higher civilization's starfield, he learned some common knowledge of this world, and the most familiar game names were these. However, after he got his hands on a AI, he didn't pay attention to other games except for the Elite Fighting Arena. He felt that there was no technical content in it. After all, with his status and strength, he was just curious about it on a whim.
But …
Just the idea of the AI and the game, he could imagine a lot. In fact, with his experience, he could easily write a game plan. And if he wanted to make a product, the most basic thing was the research and development of AI.
Tan Xiu put down the financial magazine with a vexed look in his eyes. If he didn't lose his interspatial ring in the Immortal World … Now, it was equal to holding a treasure house. At the very least, there was an intelligence system that he had casually tossed into his spatial ring.
"Although I still have some money in my hands, the speed of burning money has been maintained. If I don't think of a way to get a lot of money, I'm afraid it won't be long before I run out of money. The Everlasting Feast Hall's income is good, but the purchase of Star City's New City requires a huge capital chain, so I can't easily use the money there. "
"The Everlasting Feast Hall is also making a lot of money every day. But with the cultivation of their subordinates, the purchase of a lot of cultivation resources, the planting of elixirs, and the breeding of fierce beasts, it's completely burning money. It's already very good that they can barely maintain the balance."
"Money, money, how can I earn more money in the shortest time possible?"
Tan Xiu was not a money-grubber, but he still felt the pressure. He actually had a grand plan in mind, and it was to form an army of cultivators. In particular, the number of street children who had been found from all over the country had now reached 1,200. It would take a huge amount of money to nurture them.
In the past, Tan Xiu was the kind of person who didn't know the cost of daily necessities. But now, he deeply felt the feeling of not having enough money.
"Bang bang …"
The door was knocked and Mo Awu's voice came from the outside, "We found some suspicious traces, Boss. Our men have followed them."
Tan Xiu's expression moved and he immediately expelled the problem of money from his mind. He flashed and appeared outside the door, asking in a deep voice, "Is it those strange creatures?"
"That's right." Mo Awu nodded. "Some strange creatures appeared in Rainbow District's Golden Cypress Hotel during the day. Our intelligence personnel have already conducted a test. According to the traces left by those strange creatures, they have now reached the junction of Shanghai and Changxi City. They should be heading toward Mount Lao. "
Changxi City?
Mount Lao?
Tan Xiu had been there before, and it was when he first came to Shanghai. He followed Chi Nan to Mount Lao Highway for a car race. After hesitating for a moment, Tan Xiu asked, "What's the result of the police's investigation?"
"The police intelligence personnel we bribed have already sent the news," said Mo Awu. "Right now, the police are also at a loss. They haven't found the murderer who killed the four nightclub girls. They haven't even determined the nature of the criminal case, so they can't find out who killed them. However, I heard that the police have contacted some people from the special department. Maybe some people from the state will come soon. "
"Forget about the police. Let's head to Changxi City immediately." Tan Xiu nodded. "I wanna see how powerful those strange creatures are." * * *
Changxi City, Mount Lao.
In a valley between the peaks, there was a sparkling small lake. Shanjenna was curled up in a tattered black robe beside the dim lake, shivering. Her wings were pierced by a silver bullet. Although it was not a fatal wound, it made her injury worse.
Han Jintong sat paralyzed beside her, gasping for breath. His pale face and messy hair vividly displayed his wretched state.
"Shanjenna, I … I suspect that we have something or smell on us that can be grasped by the assassins. That's why they can chase after us like maggots. I don't know much about you vampires, but you should be able to figure out the crux of the problem. Or rather, there's a solution, "said Han Jintong after wiping off the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and calming down his breathing.
Shanjenna hesitated for a moment before she suddenly asked, "Professor, can you smell any special smell on me?"
"No." Han Jintong shook his head.
"Smear the blood on both sides of your nose bridge and smell it again," said Shanjenna.
Han Jintong stared blankly for a moment. He immediately cut his finger with a knife and smeared it on both sides of his nose bridge. After smelling it, his complexion changed and he quickly said, "It's a fragrance. It's a very faint fragrance. It smells good, but it makes me feel a bit dizzy."
Shanjenna's expression instantly turned extremely unsightly as she said with an awkward expression, "Professor, quickly wash the blood on both sides of your nose bridge. Damn it, we're screwed. No matter where we escape to, they'll hunt us down because they used the Soul Concealing Fragrance on me. "
"What's the Soul Concealing Fragrance?" asked Han Jintong quickly.
"It's a special potion of our Dark Races that has a magical tracking effect," explained Shanjenna. "Once someone is smeared with the Soul Concealing Fragrance, the Dark Races will be able to smell it. They can lock onto the target even if they are hundreds of kilometers away. They must have smeared it on me while I wasn't paying attention last night. I can't drag you down anymore, Professor. Leave quickly and don't worry about me. "
Han Jintong frowned and said, "Don't persuade me to leave. I can't abandon my student. Since you already know it's the Soul Concealing Fragrance, then wash it off quickly. Won't they not be able to find us once the Soul Concealing Fragrance is gone? "
"I can't wash it off." Shanjenna shook her head and said with a bitter expression, "The Soul Concealing Fragrance is a smell that escapes through the flow of blood. Unless I become a corpse and my blood turns cold, I can only wait … wait for about half a month before it slowly disappears. With our current situation, let alone half a month, we can't even persist for three days. Professor, if my guess is correct, they have already caught up with us. "
"Kekeke …"
An ear-piercing strange laughter came from the high mountain forest. The erratic voice created a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere in the valley.
Amidst the strange laughter, five hazy figures appeared from the woods. Two hairy Beastmen, two Feathermen with wings, and a pale Vampire in a black windbreaker. As soon as the five people appeared, they directly surrounded Han Jintong and Shanjenna.
"Shanjenna, hand over the Skull Badge."
The erratic voice did not come from the mouths of the five heterogeneous creatures. The voice seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to determine its origin.
Shanjenna grabbed a crescent-shaped scimitar backhandedly, held it horizontally in front of her chest and berated, "Grove Bear, I don't have the Skull Badge. How can I not hide it in a safe place while being chased by high-ranking assassins like you? As the Stygian Club's Gold Assassin, don't hide like a coward and come out! "
"The second heir of Salzburg, huh? You're really brave."
Along with the appearance of the hazy figure, Shanjenna was punched and sent flying before she could even react and heavily fell into the lake. But the next moment, Shanjenna spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood and broke out of the water. She flapped her broken wings and swayed as she flew above the lake.
"You're a Bear, Grove Bear. But don't even think about getting the Skull Badge even if you kill me today. The contents inside will soon be obtained by the Radiant Castle's guardian. By then, your factory will be destroyed and all your painstaking efforts will be in vain. "Shanjenna's voice turned a bit sharp as she roared fiercely.
"No, no, no. How can I kill you, Shanjenna?" Grove Bear waved his hand and said, "You're just a beautiful little bat in my eyes. I like your body very much. I want to possess you, imprison your soul, and ravage your body day and night. I want to see you screaming, wailing, and begging for mercy under my crotch. "
After saying that …
His eyes then fell on Han Jintong. He raised his brows and sneered, "You're not a vampire, nor do you belong to our heterogeneous race. Tsk, tsk … you're actually a human? Interesting. That's really interesting. To think that Shanjenna can seek help from a human. This human seems to be quite powerful. "
"All intelligent beings are the same in my opinion." Han Jintong sneered. "There are scums among humans, but there are more scums among your heterogeneous races, such as assassins like you."
Grove Bear gave a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration, "If all humans could think like you, then we beastmen would have controlled the fate of humanity long ago. We wouldn't be hiding in the dark world, not daring to use too much force, not daring to openly kill people under the sun, eating meat, drinking blood …"
