Chapter 114: Bloodthirsty Frenzy

In recent years, Lei Wuye has lived in seclusion and rarely appeared, mostly in his seaside fishing village, living like a hermit.

It looks light and breezy, like a hermit, but in reality, his desire for power has not diminished in the slightest.

From his picturesque place of seclusion, he is still controlling the operation of his named industries through various means, issuing instructions, and making judgments. It's like visible shackles turning into invisible reins, wrapped around the necks of everyone who can't see the light.

The last time he appeared was a few months ago, at the inauguration ceremony of the new Viceroy. At that time, Mr. Lei Wuye, as a citizen representative, shook hands with the Viceroy, and how harmonious they looked in the camera.

But only a short time has passed, and he is already in the ICU.

For a time, it was completely unbelievable.

But while it was too bizarre, it seemed to have a few points of credibility.

And what's even more bizarre is that such a fatal piece of news, for some reason, spread like wildfire!

Overnight, everyone knew, it's not good, it's not good, Lei Wuye is going to die, making people's hearts restless and chaotic.

Logically speaking, an old dog, if he dies, let him die, what's the big deal?

After all, Lei Wuye has been working on the dark side of Yacheng for so many years. To say he did good deeds is ridiculous. A life full of sins, not to say full of evil, but it can be called deserving of death.

After finishing the edamame, Wen Wen had already waved for someone to come over and open champagne to celebrate.

Die well, die wonderfully, die so the Viceroy quacks!

Good meow!

Even if he didn't die, if Wen Wen couldn't stand it one day and slammed the door and quit, she might go to the door and pinch that old dog like a plastic bubble film to vent her anger.

Alas, he won't be the only one to die.

A whale falls, everything grows, this is truly a virtue, but few people can do such a thing that benefits generations.

And for some tumors that emit a foul odor, once they burst, they will only make pus and maggots crawl all over the ground, making people frown.

This is why the first department called the second department.

The bureau chief is away, the first department minister Tong Shan and the deputy bureau chief are in charge. The deputy bureau chief has been away for many years, running around and not seeing anyone, so the power has fallen entirely into Tong Shan's hands. It can be said that this eldest son of the Tong family in Yacheng is now the acting bureau chief of the Security Bureau in fact.

After the call, starting tomorrow, Wen Wen will have to run errands, and as usual, go to beat up all the heads of all the gangs in the North Mountain District—don't make too much trouble, if dirty things leak to the street, it won't look good for anyone.

There are nineteen big cities in the Federation, and naturally, there are differences in each city, and the oil and water are also different.

Located in the southernmost part of the Federation, Yacheng, although local industries are average, the oil and water brought by import and export trade are enough to feed countless parasites.

Electronic products, weapons, luxury goods, and even banned drugs...

Imagine how many interests are hidden in the many fishing villages and dark ports along this coastline. It's simply a flowing river of gold. How many people will be moved?

One Lei Wuye dies, the next Lei Wuye will continue to stand out.

But the next Lei Wuye, why can't it be me?

As an organization covering the dark side of the whole world, the complexity and scale of the Wasteland Market naturally don't need to be said. Twelve leaders are high above, like dragons calling for wind and rain, making groups of snakes bow and follow.

But how many people dare not even think about soaring and changing like a dragon, but the position of a snake is truly powerful enough to confuse people's minds.

The Wasteland Market manager is a real local snake.

The speaker of the dark side of Yacheng.

Nominally, he is here to preside over justice and avoid the two sides from making trouble to the point of being irreconcilable.

After all, the leaders can't always worry about whether it's appropriate to open another word-game stall on which street in Yacheng.

Those who become leaders are either the Bai Lu Heavenly Humans who are currently the strongest in the world, or the behind-the-scenes BOSS who secretly integrates several regions or cities, or the uncrowned king who controls shipping routes between the Thousand Islands and can easily bankrupt any small country...

Born and died to become a leader, and still have to work hard after becoming a leader, then isn't this leader a waste?

Therefore, the local director is a tool person born under such circumstances.

Equivalent to the local general manager of the Wasteland Market.

In the Wasteland Market, they are under the leaders, but in Yacheng, they are undoubtedly above ten thousand people.

As long as you skillfully use this power and name, even a person without a weapon can subdue a strong dragon and settle all the fighting that crosses the line on the dark side in one word.

Not to mention the money that has become numbers and the authority that is almost infinite downwards.

Generally speaking, such a tight position, even if the manager encounters an accident, will have a successor.

But this old dog Lei Wuye, in his life, accepted fourteen godchildren and goddaughters, each given responsibility in one aspect, and then let them check and balance each other, so he could sit back and relax.

After all, the Bai Lu path is like this, loyal dogs are not few, but white-eyed wolves are more. It is common for younger brothers to kill the boss after their power grows, and it doesn't matter how many second brothers you worship.

He played this set too well, so much so that when he let go, no one could control the whole situation, and it became a plate of loose sand. Even, in the long-term conflict and the gaps brought by it, they regarded each other as enemies.

Now Lei Wuye hasn't died yet, just lying in the ICU, the great cause he created has already begun to fall apart, and is about to kill each other.

I really don't know if that old face under the oxygen mask is angry or panicked at this moment?

Maybe, before he stopped breathing, everything he cared about no longer belonged to him.

At that time, Wen Wen thought it was ridiculous and sad to see him die with his eyes open.

But thinking of the many struggles and the innocent people involved, she couldn't help but want to rush over and completely smash this old thing into ashes.

Look at the good things you've done!

"When can all this garbage be killed?"

She looked up and drank the celebratory and lamenting wine in one gulp.

Lei Wuye loses the deer, and everyone involved will begin to chase crazily.

Or rather, that ferocious deer, hungry and never satisfied, having tired of Lei Wuye's staleness, has already begun to look for the next sacrifice among countless prey...

The dark side of Yacheng is about to be in chaos.

"Another storm of blood."

Wen Wen looked up at the pitch-black sky, amidst the clouds, she could no longer see the moon and stars.

"Grass, what kind of storm of blood is this..."

The next morning, Ji Jue looked at the doubled homework, and in his wailing, his eyes went dark, and even the sun that had just risen into the sky became dim.

The world is gloomy.

According to Professor Ye's instructions, since he asked for a whole day off, he should make up for the progress in his spare time.

Given Ji Jue's subjective initiative, supervision and review were unnecessary, but if he didn't brush questions for a day, he would know, and if he didn't read books for two days, Professor Ye would definitely know. By then, maybe he would add another class to the spiritual quality defense and attack class at night.

Can't eat the bitterness of learning, so go eat the bitterness of fists, why bother?

Ye Chun watched from the sidelines and was speechless about this strange teacher-student relationship.

After all, such a free management and training method for apprentices can only be called a strange flower in the whole artisan world.

In an ordinary workshop, apprentices who have no advantages, no money at home, and average ability are no different from corporate slaves. They clock in in the morning, get off work in the evening, pay the tuition, help the artisan, and if they are in a good mood, they teach you two sentences. If they are in a bad mood, they give you a big slap, and you can only go home and shed little pearls quietly.

Or they are students with extraordinary talent, amazing talent, tight hooks, and the teacher's favorite, who are often brought by their side, listening to teachings, ear-to-ear, working hard every day, from entry to burial. Until they become new artisans after apprenticeship, then go to enjoy other flattery, respect, and hooks.

But Ji Jue is neither.

If you say she values him, she really values him. She knows everything and says everything. As long as she has time, Professor Ye has never refused Ji Jue's questions and doubts, not to mention the clues of Non-Aggression and the inheritance of the Dissociation Art.

But if you say she doesn't value him, she is indeed a bit indifferent, because after teaching the basics and pointing out the direction, she lets go and continues to be busy with her own projects, throwing the student into the warehouse and library, letting him touch the electric door and play by himself.

Progress is not checked, results are not asked, and she doesn't care about what kind of trouble he caused outside or being locked by a sniper. So much so that although he is a domestic apprentice, he was raised into a wild beauty.

But both of them are content with themselves and don't care about other things.

"The basics of the elements of ascension are already okay. You have your own understanding of the purification part because of fluid alchemy, which is enough for now. You can make up for the lessons later."

Professor Ye said slowly after reading Ji Jue's reading notes: "The next direction to attack is 'Extraction and Change'. This is your real weakness. Apart from practicing the Dissociation Art, for the rest of the time, you should read this part of the data first."

The four elements of modern alchemy: Ascension, Extraction and Change, Purification, and Harmony.

Ascension refers to endowing matter with spiritual quality, such as turning stone into gold, making it lean towards the nature of the Supreme Good, so that it can accommodate blessings.

Purification is to make the physical properties purer, screen out impurities, shield interference, so that it can transition and evolve infinitely towards the purest direction.

Harmony is to integrate all components, making multiple spiritual quality circuits, structures, and Supreme Good blessings completely melt into a whole.

And Extraction and Change is to make multiple materials and blessings stimulate each other and then transform into a brand-new state.

In short, to use the words that card players like most, it's called 'fusion'.

But how to fuse two things together, when to fuse, how much more or less, different times, altitudes, and positions, magnetic field strength, and even character... will all have earth-shattering changes.

Even if there are infinite formulas in modern alchemy, and this number is still rising further in various explorations every year, it is still far from enough.

Rote memorization is useless to a certain extent. Every artisan should have their own understanding and feelings in this process.

Accumulate experience through massive practice and attempts, and then let instinct and perception tell you what you should do and when.

At the same time... this is also the most krypton-gold place, none of them.

Ascension entry is simple but it is difficult to improve. Purification steps are troublesome, operations are fine, and twelve thousand points of caution are needed. Harmony needs to control the overall situation, keeping all components in their places and cooperating with each other without interfering with each other.

These all have one characteristic: success is success, if not, be careful and come again. As long as you follow the process, you will never be wrong. If you make a mistake, give yourself two big mouths, and you will remember it in the future.

But Extraction and Change is a desperate dead cycle for apprentices—if you don't have money to buy materials to try, you won't learn, if you don't learn, you will make mistakes, if you make mistakes and materials are scrapped, you will get big mouths and money will be deducted, and if money is deducted, you will have even less money to buy materials.

Mentioning this, Ji Jue, as a senior poor person, subconsciously felt a headache.

Touching the one million plus that hadn't been warmed up in his arms, he only hoped that the dead ghost Chen Yubo would hurry up and pay him the final payment.

"As for money, you don't have to worry."

＿￠o

Professor Ye drank tea and placed a black card on the table, pushing it to Ji Jue, "It seems you didn't work for nothing last night."

"Someone has already solved it for you."

The exquisitely shaped pitch-black card on the table, the gold-stamped code on it shining with golden light in the sun, illuminated Ji Jue's eyes.

Exuding an aura of money, making people feel noble instinctively.

Shocking the poor.

"My... god."

Ji Jue's heart skipped a beat, he almost couldn't restrain himself, and said a dirty word in front of the professor, hurriedly changing the subject: "What kind of card is this, I haven't seen it? Who gave it?"

? ￠o

"Chen Xingzhou, sent someone over this morning. The two brothers don't interact on weekdays and don't even send people. Now it seems that he cares quite a bit about his own younger brother's life."

The professor sneered: "I only said you were an apprentice who just started, and that guy knew what to take out."

"This is a membership card provided only to high-end customers of the Tianping Chamber of Commerce. It should be that he urgently found someone to buy it last night, and the name and information have all become yours."

"There's about twenty million in it. If you find it troublesome, you can take it out and put it in your own card. However, with this money, you don't have to worry about expenses for at least half a year."

Holy!

Ji Jue couldn't hold back the dirty words in his heart anymore, dumbfounded: Is this a big shot? Twenty million just given away? Is the thank-you gift so exaggerated?

Directly multiplying the final payment by ten times?!

And...

"Half a year?"

He looked at the professor in front of him blankly, several times, wanting to speak but stopping—is the speed of this alchemy burning money a bit too fast?!

Twenty million divided by one hundred and eighty, which is about 111,111 per day. This number makes single dogs feel sad, but when this number is converted into money and multiplied by every day, it is enough for any single dog to transform into a diamond king, a spiritual shareholder of manufacturers like Black Peach Q, and a world-class hero who dominates the night scene.

Eleven thousand a day?!

Ji Jue wouldn't need that much even if he ate, drank, and played to death!

What kind of alchemy burns money like this?

"Your own progress is too fast, don't blame alchemy."

Professor Ye glanced at his ignorant look: "Two months, other apprentices haven't even finished learning the basics. Who is like you, not learning enough modern stuff and then tossing out the ancient stuff?"

"If you want to flow for a long time, it's no problem. Ten or eight years is enough for you. If you endure for a few more years, maybe you can become an official artisan when you are thirty. By then, others will praise you for being young and promising."

"Chen Xingzhou probably planned it this way too. After eight or nine years, you become an artisan with his money. Isn't it simple and convenient if you have any needs?"

Ji Jue accompanied with a smile, not daring to speak.

Can only sigh, worthy of being Ember, krypton gold becomes strong, and you can even recharge to add progress.

It's just that he originally thought rich people were just burning money, but he didn't expect that even a thank-you gift could have so many tricks. Although if you speculate a bit darker, this possibility is undoubtedly very large, but... people didn't sign a contract with you!

Even not a single extra word.

Human feelings come and go, and when they come and go more, human feelings exist. This kind of thing always requires your willingness.

Chen Xingzhou's shot is generous, but Ji Jue didn't do nothing, and besides, if it weren't for Professor Ye's relationship, he wouldn't have gotten such generous treatment.

Ji Jue wasn't stupid enough to take out the card and ask, "Would you like to share half?" If he really did that, he would get a white eye from his teacher.

Can only try to speed up the progress.

Completely unaware that his progress in modern alchemy had already reached such a fast speed, the soul of the scroll dog had once again begun to burn.

If the professor wasn't nearby, he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh three times:

I have liver, and I have krypton!

Liver and krypton dual cultivation, who else in the world can match my practice level?!

But soon, his gaze was attracted by the pendant next to the card.

"What is this again?"

"Your spoils of war, sent over after Chen Xingzhou's people cleaned up the scene."

"Looks like an alchemical work?"

Ji Jue picked it up to examine it. It looks like it, and in fact, it is.

It's just that he could feel the blessing aura in his hand, this feeling of being there or not, floating up, is Ascension.

He became more cautious.

Generally, the blessing of Ascension acts on the soul and consciousness. If it is used carelessly, maybe his own brain will have problems.

Besides, this workmanship...

How to say it, it looks fancy and very much like a thing, and it can be seen that the technique is very skilled, much stronger than Ji Jue.

But having seen the beauty of the unity of things and self in the mercury works, and having felt the strict spirit of meticulousness and inclusiveness in Professor Ye's works in the study of modern alchemy... he can only say, it's just that.

Even, it seems...

"A bit flawed?" He was a bit uncertain.

"It seems that your vision has also improved."

Professor Ye rarely praised him, and then commented: "Don't be so polite. Making such materials and blessings into this look, apart from garbage, there is nothing else to say."

"Being able to melt blessings into this kind of clumsy goods, and still having the courage to take them out for sale, is completely embarrassing. It's no wonder that the artisan didn't dare to carve his own badge on it. If it is dug out by someone in the future, I am afraid that he will be treated as a joke for the rest of his life."

The materials are very good, and the blessings are also very good.

Only the workmanship is rotten to a mess!

Ascension is only in form, Extraction and Change is copying formulas, Purification is uneven, Harmony is a mess, there is no more appearance-only appearance than this.

I guess the blessing inside knew it would become like this, I am afraid it jumped down directly and rotted with the Nine Evils in the vortex.

Professor Ye had already seen the specific situation of the blessing.

The name is Transcendental Vision.

In a word, it is the ability to accelerate the user's self-perception and thinking speed, thereby achieving the strange scene of time slowing down in disguise.

Not ordinary, but not precious, because there are many blessings with the same effect. Such as Bai Lu's 'Lightning Reflex', Wasteland's 'Unity of Things and Self', Vortex's 'Nerve Spiritual Quality'... and even the legendary blessing 'Time Interception' given by the Eternal Gate!

In fact, 'Miraculous Hand' also has similar models.

The Great Group has 'Plundering Hand', Bai Lu has 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger', Vortex has 'Miraculous Hand Rejuvenating', but one focuses on strong destructive power, one is more focused on agility and counter-control, and one is simply a healing ability, which cannot be compared with the terrifying versatility and growth of Miraculous Hand.

"Alright, stop looking, it's just a clumsy thing."

Professor Ye interrupted Ji Jue's thinking, and then made a sound that seemed to come from the deepest part of the nightmare: "Since this thing is in your hands, let's add a homework for you—"

Don't!

Ji Jue's face changed in shock, subconsciously wanting to throw this thing away.

Can I not want it?

How can this homework be added just like

"Next, for the introductory practice of the Disassociation Technique, let's change the operation target to this."

Professor Ye picked up her teacup, merciless: "What you need to do is take it apart, strip away those messy spiritual quality circuits and material contamination, and keep the internal blessing as unaffected as possible. The Ghost Artisan will stay in the workshop to assist you in extracting the blessing completely."

"Uh..."

Ji Jue hesitated and asked: "Are there any time requirements?"

"Up to you, it doesn't matter if you do it fast or slow."

The professor took one last look at him and administered a shot of adrenaline that drove Ji Jue completely crazy: "I think, once the blessing is stripped out, it should be about time to begin."

She said faintly: "Your first, in the true sense, alchemical creation."

"..."

In the dead silence, Ye Chun closed her eyes in despair.

But Ji Jue's eyes lit up, as if emitting a bloodthirsty light...

In that instant—

—The grinder, berserk mode, complete!
