Chapter 228: Network Rotom

Time flew swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1992.

Over these two years, Luo Ge continued to manage his forces, developing the Gro Company into even greater prosperity.

Beyond the usual fruit juices and healing potions, a brand-new industry was added to their main fields.

The Internet!

This was all thanks to a Pokémon he had captured a year ago.

From the moment he began cultivating his forces until now, five years had passed.

During these five years, the Gro Company recruited many people, but few could become elite subordinates.

That is, people who signed the 【Absolute Contract】 were not many.

Every single one of these individuals possessed high talent.

Especially after Luo Ge and the Gro Company became famous, more and more people came seeking fame, striving to become part of it.

According to rigorous testing, those who managed to enter had talent that was far from low, let alone those filtered out to become elite subordinates.

Five years.

A total of fifteen first-class Nen users, nearly two hundred second-class Nen users, and nearly three hundred third-class Nen users were cultivated.

This was a terrifying number!

Keep in mind that even by the original Election Arc, the Lierenxie Society had only 661 members, among whom many were low-strength Association-exclusive Hunters.

The Lierenxie Society undertakes work contracted by governments or corporations, most of which is delegated to Hunters belonging to the Association.

In such cases, regardless of whether the Hunter succeeds or fails at the job.

The Association guarantees they receive a certain payment determined by the risk and difficulty.

Short for "Association-exclusive."

They are generally third-class Nen users.

In other words, his power was already approaching the largest civilian force—the Lierenxie Society!

Apart from a lack in high-end combat power, there was not much difference elsewhere.

After all, the Lierenxie Society is equivalent to a neutral organization, like a Hunter's Guild in a Western fantasy worldview, where anyone can join.

However, their cohesion with the Lierenxie Society is not strong.

To them, the Lierenxie Society is merely a platform provided to better pursue their dreams.

His forces are different; every member is a most loyal subordinate, obeying orders without question.

If a real fight broke out, a significant portion of the Lierenxie Society would stay out of it, simply not intervening for such matters.

Plus, the so-called Twelve Earthly Branches have not yet been established; if you exclude him and Netero, the two leaders.

Luo Ge believes his forces would not lose much to the Lierenxie Society.

After all, he still has Machi, Shizuku, and Menchi, three first-class existences!

Their strength exceeds that of first-class Nen users.

Zhu Di, due to being busy handling official duties during the 12th month, had less time for training, yet still remained at the level of a first-class Nen user.

Relying on the accumulated foundation, he had unknowingly raised a massive force!

Even one capable of influencing the world's political landscape!

Gro Company Headquarters.

This company building, which attracts worldwide attention, is located in Manhack City.

The highest floor is Luo Ge's personal exclusive zone; only a specific few are permitted to enter the entire floor.

Inside the office,

Tap, tap, tap...

Luo Ge sat at the desk, his face showing a look of deep thought, subconsciously tapping the table surface with his fingertips.

After a long while, the tapping sound suddenly stopped.

"Rotom, how is the network progress now?"

Immediately, a red phone floated up from the desk, revealing a pair of eyes and a mouth on its surface, and replied:

"Rotom Rotom."

"We can now fully access the network world; the developed Internet technology has matured and has been launched onto the market."

"Our Gro Company not only sells routers but also high-tech products like portable smartphones and laptop computers."

"Now, no matter where, our Gro Company's products are the best-selling."

"Relying on these products and the traces left while browsing the Internet, I can collect information from all over the world."

"Most unknown secrets can also be learned, forming a terrifying information network."

The phone Rotom recounted everything in detail.

Luo Ge nodded slightly, satisfaction showing in his eyes.

Rotom was the Pokémon he met and captured on Zhidao a year ago.

Rotom's body is composed of plasma.

Its orange body is its core, surrounded outside by blue translucent plasma, which can materialize as Rotom's hands.

Rotom's body, like electricity, can enter certain machines.

It appears to be a soul powered by electricity, an extremely strange Pokémon.

It uses its ion-constituted body to infiltrate various machines, most enjoying using them as bodies to play pranks and scare people, thus becoming famous.

Relying on Rotom's data capabilities, it can access the network world and vigorously develop related industries.

The Hunter World has a network; the computers people use rely on it for communication.

However, its penetration rate is low, and it falls far short of Blue Star in every aspect.

Other products need no mention; even the latest mobile phones are still of the PHS style.

Thus, Luo Ge smelled a huge business opportunity from this.

Seizing this opportunity, he first had Rotom absorb data from the network world to strengthen itself.

Then he developed high-tech products such as routers and smartphones.

From now on, as long as someone goes online, no secret of his will remain a secret.

Rotom was like weaving a spiderweb named "the Internet," catching everyone in the world in one net.

Any information existing online, it could learn with ease, establishing an intelligence network other forces could never imagine!

Just Rotom, one Pokémon, is enough to rival a thousand armies!

Because it means intelligence.

The Qianer Society can serve as a consensus underground organization where everyone posts missions or accepts missions.

First, because they possess great power, have a large organization scale, and command numerous personnel.

Second, because they control vast intelligence, which is a very important resource in the Hunter World.

Now with Rotom, his faction will not be in the slightest inferior to the Qianer Society.

Today is a good day; Luo Ge casually used his Nen ability.
