Chapter 19

"My eyes seem to be able to see at night."

Li Yi, who returned to the room, cultivated for another day after eating, but at night, he suddenly discovered that he could see clearly even though he didn't turn on the lights, and this vision was very strange, not the normal vision before.

The colors became a bit special, as if he had turned on night vision goggles.

"It seems that my body has evolved to a new stage. This feeling is really wonderful." Li Yi's eyes flickered with light in the dark at this moment, like a fierce beast in the jungle at night.

Many top hunters in nature have better vision at night than during the day. This is the result of evolution spent by hunters for countless years, in order to increase the success rate of hunting at night, so as to better survive and multiply.

And people who cultivate also have night vision functions after evolution, which means that people who cultivate are also constantly improving their status in the food chain.

Li Yi didn't continue to cultivate, he was constantly adapting to his vision at night.

After a while, he suddenly noticed something in the room and looked at the door.

"Who?"

He drank in a low voice.

This change in the body is not just in the eyes, his hearing has also become sharp. He heard the slight footsteps in the corridor, and also judged that the footsteps stopped at his door.

And the appearance of this ability didn't make Li Yi feel anything wrong, but more like an instinct.

"Li Yi, it's me, can you open the door?" A woman's voice came from the door.

Zhao Xiaoxiao?

Li Yi frowned immediately. He didn't have a good impression of this Zhao Xiaoxiao. Just like Zhang Gao said, Zhao Xiaoxiao is a kind of speculator among cultivators, always thinking about stepping high and bowing low, managing relationships.

Of course, this behavior is actually not a very bad thing. After all, he is really poor, and it is normal to be looked down upon.

It's just that Wu Zhen's incident yesterday made Li Yi very uncomfortable, after all, Zhao Xiaoxiao was also one of the participants.

"I'm going to sleep, let's talk tomorrow if there's anything." Li Yi didn't open the door, just refused coldly.

But Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't leave and continued to say: "I have something particularly important to tell you, please open the door, rest assured, I have no malice this time, and there is only me at the door."

"Something particularly important?" Li Yi's expression moved, and he continued to ask: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

"It's your business." Zhao Xiaoxiao said at the door.

Li Yi thought for a while, and finally opened the door with some vigilance.

There was indeed only Zhao Xiaoxiao at the door.

"What's the matter, say it." Li Yi said.

"Let's talk in your room, it's not convenient to talk outside." Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

Li Yi frowned: "What are you trying to do again?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I think there are some misunderstandings between us, and I really have no malice when I come to find you this time. You might as well believe me once. If I do anything unfavorable to you, you can move your hands to me immediately, and I will never resist."

"Well, I want to see what your purpose is for finding me this time. If you can't say why, don't blame me for throwing you out." Li Yi looked very cold.

Zhao Xiaoxiao walked into the room and closed the door directly. She sat on the sofa next to her as if she were familiar.

Li Yi didn't know what medicine this woman was selling in the gourd, just standing on the side looking at her with some vigilance.

Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "I am a girl who came to find you late at night and is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"Going out, boys also have to learn to protect themselves. There are not no female hooligans these days." Li Yi said seriously: "Tell me your purpose for finding me."

At the same time, he turned on the recording on his phone to leave evidence.

Zhao Xiaoxiao's smile faded, and then she said seriously: "First of all, I want to apologize to you for Wu Zhen's matter yesterday, I hope you don't hold a grudge."

Li Yi said: "I am not angry about Wu Zhen's behavior, nor will I really hold a grudge against you people, because such things have happened before, and I believe there will be in the future, but as long as it happens to me, no matter how many times, I will resist."

"Forced, it's nothing more than life for life. Although I also know this is very reckless, even impulsive, this is the survival way of a poor boy. After all, my life is not worth money, but your lives may not be."

"I didn't understand before, now I can understand."

Zhao Xiaoxiao stood up from the sofa at this moment, then walked over and said: "It's just that Li Yi, have you ever thought that your cultivation talent shouldn't be rolling in the mud, you should have a better future."

"Whether it's me, or Wu Zhen, Lu Jue, Zhang Gao, they will never be on the same path as you. You are a genius. The reason why you are in such a mess is because you are bound by family and life. If someone can help you solve these problems, I believe the potential you explode will be huge."

Li Yi glanced at her: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Today's guidance work opened my eyes and saw the real gap between cultivators. It turns out that rich people can afford cultivation pods and can hire four batches of guides... My cultivation value is only seventy-five percent, not high or low, and my family background is quite ordinary. These things combined are destined to make me mediocre."

Zhao Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said: "But I also have my way of survival. So, I want to invest in you."

"Invest in me? Why?" Li Yi frowned.

This is the first time in his life that he has heard someone say they want to invest in himself, and it is from Zhao Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "My words just now have been very clear, your potential is huge, and it is worth investing."

"Potential is huge?" Li Yi said: "Just because my cultivation value is higher than yours?"

"Higher? Li Yi, you really don't know much about cultivation. You are not higher than us, but three times higher. What is the concept of three times? This is a chasm that we ordinary cultivators can never cross. And I think you absolutely reserved something when you first guided cosmic energy. Lu Jue estimated your cultivation value at one hundred and eighty percent, but I don't think so."

"Your cultivation value has absolutely exceeded two hundred percent. I have never encountered such a high cultivation value in my life except for hearing about it, so I want to gamble."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said, took out a bank card from her pocket, and handed it to Li Yi with both hands: "This is my entire net worth, a total of 1.37 million. Although it is not much, it can also prove my sincerity. As long as you agree to my investment, I will do my best to provide you with cultivation funds from today, act as your guide, and let you cultivate with peace of mind."

Investor?

Li Yi remembered at this moment that such a thing would indeed happen to cultivators.

Some talented people will be funded by others, and even some genius cultivators will be heavily invested by some big bosses and big rich people.

Because this world has changed, top cultivators can already influence the changes in the situation, and this is only ten years after the Sky Tilt. If it is another twenty years, thirty years... This future is destined to be an era where cultivators are in power.

Under the trend of the times, the investment boom will naturally emerge.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxiao is also very nervous, but she feels that her behavior today is not wrong. Li Yi must be the protagonist in the novel and will definitely soar into the sky. At that time, as long as she gets a little light, it will definitely be better than her own efforts to cultivate.

The room fell into silence at this moment.

Li Yi didn't say a word, and Zhao Xiaoxiao was also waiting for Li Yi's reply.

Facing this scene, Li Yi, who was only twenty years old, said it was false not to be moved. He had never encountered such a good thing in his life. Not only could he get more than one million for nothing, but he could also earn a labor force for nothing. This Zhao Xiaoxiao said so well, she could earn money to invest in herself in the future, let herself have no worries, and focus on cultivation.

In the face of such sincerity, those previous contradictions and conflicts seemed to be ignored.

As for whether Zhao Xiaoxiao will regret it in the future, that doesn't seem important.

Investment is originally profitable and losing.

But Li Yi quickly resisted the temptation. First, he is not a genius, and his cultivation value is not two hundred percent. Second, the secret of the mystic object cannot be exposed, otherwise Lao Ya's group will definitely not let him go, and even attract death. And he currently has no ability to deal with these.

Of course, there is a third point, he is very disgusted with this Zhao Xiaoxiao.

She will invest in herself today, and if she encounters a cultivator with greater potential in the future, maybe she will sell herself.

It is not worth it to attract so many hidden dangers for temporary benefits.

And Li Yi can earn more than 200,000 a day now, Zhao Xiaoxiao's money is not urgent for him.

Thinking of this, he made a choice in his heart.

"Zhao Xiaoxiao, I refuse your investment." Li Yi said bluntly.

"Why?" Zhao Xiaoxiao's body trembled, looking at Li Yi in disbelief.

She didn't understand why Li Yi wanted to refuse her investment.

There is absolutely no reason for this.

"Li Yi, don't be impulsive. You are in urgent need of investment now. Don't refuse because of a little unpleasant thing before. In the adult world, there is no hatred, only interests. You shouldn't be impulsive." Zhao Xiaoxiao tried to persuade again, she thought Li Yi was young and was gambling.

But Li Yi interrupted her: "No, you are wrong, I am not impulsive."

"Then what is your reason for refusing investment?" Zhao Xiaoxiao was eager to know the reason why she was refused at this moment.

Because most cultivators are very willing to accept others' investment, after all, this is a benefit for nothing.

Li Yi said: "No reason, if you have nothing else, you can leave."

He didn't explain.

"I... understand."

Zhao Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said: "But I still hope Li Yi you can think about it carefully. During the time we work, as long as you change your mind, tell me immediately, I will still firmly make this choice tonight."

Li Yi didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao sighed: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you, I'm going back."

She didn't continue to pester, but turned and left Li Yi's room.

"Bang!"

After Zhao Xiaoxiao left, the door closed, without any intention of staying.

"It seems that your action today is not very smooth."

When Zhao Xiaoxiao returned to her room, Lu Jue's door next door opened, and he stood at the door and said with a smile.

"I want to invest in Li Yi." Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

Lu Jue shook his head and said: "Invest? Then you are late. Li Yi earned 220,000 today. As long as he works for a period of time, it is not a problem to save millions. This guide job is the beginning of Li Yi's change."

"Unless you invested in him when you first met him, it's a pity that at that time you looked down on others because they were so poor that they didn't even have taxi money, and didn't even want to pay attention to them, which led to missing a good opportunity in vain."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, if I invested at that time, Li Yi would definitely agree, but it's a pity that I misjudged."

"It's not just misjudging, you also offended people. Before, you ignored them, now you can't climb high." Lu Jue said with a smile.

"Shut up." Zhao Xiaoxiao was ashamed and angry, and after walking into the room, she closed the door with a bang. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
