Chapter 27

A shop.

Lin Qi, who was holding his phone and browsing the news, laughed out loud after seeing some Xianzhou netizens' praise for Qingque.

"God of Cards?"

"In a way, it really is, but it's a pity..."

"She herself probably doesn't want to wear this title."

Lin Qi put down his phone, then stood up, looking at the shop door with burning eyes.

There was a tall figure outside the door.

When this figure approached to a certain extent.

Lin Qi spoke again.

"Am I right, General Jing Yuan... of the Luo Fu Xianzhou?"

Seeking flowers, seeking reviews.

25. Jing Yuan's intention, obtaining grotto-heaven technology.

After Lin Qi's voice fell, the figure outside the shop walked in, revealing his true face.

This was a white-haired man with a handsome appearance.

Although his demeanor was lazy, if one looked carefully, one could see the aura of a superior on him.

Either he had been in a high position for a long time, or his strength was extraordinary.

And as one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals, a proper Emanator of the Hunt, Jing Yuan obviously had both.

"I have long heard of your great name; I should have visited you earlier, but I have been busy with official duties and couldn't get away. I hope you will forgive me."

Jing Yuan said apologetically, with a gentle and elegant tone.

If someone who didn't know saw it, they might think he was a Confucian general.

In fact, he was not only proficient in swordsmanship, but a single array blade also killed countless enemies, making the enemy terrified.

More importantly, he was actually famous for his strategies.

"General, you are too polite; I am just a small businessman, how could I trouble the General to visit in person." Lin Qi shook his head.

Jing Yuan said seriously, "General is just a temporary identity; you can just call me Jing Yuan. Moreover, you are not a small businessman. Leaving the Xianzhou, my martial power is not outstanding in the universe. The so-called strategy has no place to be used. You are different; just relying on a few curios, you have stirred up the whole Luo Fu. Jing Yuan admires you!"

"General... Mr. Jing Yuan, you are too modest." Lin Qi replied with a smile, a bit unsure of Jing Yuan's intention.

However, his attitude was very good, and everything he said was flattering.

Thinking about it...

He shouldn't be here to find trouble.

So far, Lin Qi had seen several Emanators, namely the executives of the IPC and the geniuses of the Genius Society.

Then there was the Xianzhou General in front of him.

But Lin Qi had never seen an Emanator go all out.

He only understood the astonishing destructive power of the Lord Ravager and the Swarm from the data.

It is no exaggeration to say that it can destroy a planet at the lightest, and destroy a galaxy at the heaviest.

It is the highest combat power in the universe under the Aeons.

Lin Qi indeed had many curios with astonishing effects, and after his body was optimized and transformed, he also possessed extraordinary power.

But in fact, he didn't have much experience in fighting enemies, and his combat experience was pitifully small.

It's not that he hadn't fought with anyone.

It's that the shot was a crush.

When he took out those props with great destructive power, there was a sense of absurdity like using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito.

So much so that Lin Qi felt that the Path power on his body, "Destruction," seemed to be more than "Erudition"...

But in any case.

Lin Qi hadn't fought an Emanator, and wasn't sure if his curios would be fully effective.

After all, Emanators are too special, not only in destructive power, but some can even change "rules" or create "domains."

This is something Lin Qi hasn't fully understood yet.

Therefore.

Lin Qi attached great importance to the suddenly visiting Jing Yuan.

Not to mention anything else, he is still in their base camp now.

Of course.

Even if he couldn't beat an Emanator, it would be very easy to run.

On the other side.

While Lin Qi was thinking quickly, Jing Yuan spoke again; this time it was no longer pleasantries, but slowly stated his purpose.

"You spread curios on the Luo Fu, causing chaos on the Luo Fu; this matter has spread within the Alliance, and many people have complaints about it. However, I don't have any opinion on you; geniuses are always different from ordinary people. If they had the same style of conduct as ordinary people, I'm afraid they wouldn't be called geniuses."

Although Lin Qi hadn't joined the club yet, with Qingque's performance, no one would think Lin Qi wasn't qualified.

The word "genius" is no exaggeration.

Jing Yuan paused and continued, "And I came here for only one thing, which is to ask your attitude towards the Alliance..."

"Is it an enemy? Or a friend?"

This matter is very important.

No matter how dissatisfied some people within the Alliance are, they don't want to see an enmity with a "genius."

Even another big force in the universe—the IPC—is the same.

Perhaps the power of the geniuses themselves is not as good as the Emanators of other Paths, but when it comes to the destruction of the universe...

Maybe it can rival an Aeon!

Therefore.

It is important to figure out Lin Qi's attitude.

"Definitely not an enemy."

Lin Qi shook his head.

This answer made Jing Yuan feel a little relieved; you know, there were people within the Alliance who advocated directly using swords and soldiers to take Lin Qi down in order to obtain Lin Qi's curios.

However, this voice was very weak and was soon covered up.

Among them, Jing Yuan played a big role.

For this.

He bore some pressure.

If Lin Qi's answer was another answer, then regardless of what the Alliance would say, he would have to consider how to defeat and expel Lin Qi at the smallest cost.

Obviously.

This "smallest cost," no matter how small, wouldn't be small.

Fortunately, Lin Qi is not an enemy.

"But it shouldn't be a friend either, at least not now." Lin Qi continued to reply.

Lin Qi has no malice towards the Xianzhou.

Due to his previous life's background, he even felt quite close to the Xianzhou.

However, just because of this, it wouldn't make him rush to contact the Xianzhou, or even fawn over them.

"The Xianzhou welcomes everyone who yearns for peace, and for those like you who possess heavy weapons but do not cause chaos in the universe, we are even more favorable. I believe we will become friends in the future." Jing Yuan laughed heartily.

Saying this.

Jing Yuan took out a beautifully packaged and simple gift box.

"I don't know what you like, but the Xianzhou has had a tradition of 'precious swords for heroes' since ancient times. After learning about the miraculousness of your curios, the Alliance discussed and decided to gift the 'grotto-heaven' technology that the Xianzhou has studied for thousands of years to you, in exchange for your friendship. I wonder if you accept it or not?"

Grotto-heaven technology?

Even though Lin Qi was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but look sideways and marvel at the Alliance's generosity.

Before his space domain technology achieved obvious results, he knew that the Alliance's grotto-heaven technology was the best in the universe, making the Luo Fu, which was only the size of a warship, possess an internal space exceeding the surface of a planet.

This is something the four-dimensional pocket couldn't do.

After all, pockets are mostly used for storage.

Perhaps the large-scale opening of "grotto-heavens" is because of the boundless power bestowed by the Aeons.
