Chapter 559: Li Qingzi and Tao Baibai (3k)

Bai Cangshu uses Gantz to craft a Gantz suit (Reinforced Suit), which requires the consumption of one E-rank Singularity and 2,500 Dimension Points.

The price Bai Cangshu quotes to Song Xian is one D-rank Singularity and 5,000 Dimension Points.

The Singularity cost tripled, and the Dimension Points doubled.

For his current resource consumption, this is not considered much of a profit; of course, because Dongxia is trading with the goal of arming an entire 【Qinglong Department】, the total amount of resources Bai Cangshu can obtain is still quite considerable.

Today, he provided 30 sets of equipment; Bai Cangshu simply treated the price of the X-gun and H-gun as the Rare and Peerless quality Qi Sword, and waived the consumption of Dimension Points.

Song Xian and the others can accept this result, because this portion of resources is actually not being paid for by the Special Affairs Bureau, but is being split by these official Reincarnators themselves.

This is the most awkward point about official organizations: they have no control over the resources within the Infinite Dimensional Space.

Therefore, they cannot provide benefits to these members through resource allocation.

This is also the reason why, among the many Reincarnators in the vast nation of Dongxia, the number of those willing to join official organizations unconditionally has never been high enough.

People who purely harbor burning passion and ideals are always in the minority; furthermore, in a place like the Infinite Dimensional Space with such extreme life-and-death pressure, it is even harder for Reincarnators to keep acting based on such passion and ideals.

The Special Affairs Bureau has, of course, considered many supplementary plans, including giving them many benefits in reality, protection for their families, and so on.

But these things, in the end, cannot help Reincarnators in those treacherous and dangerous mission worlds.

Therefore, seeing that Bai Cangshu is willing to use items to offset more of the resource consumption, Song Xian and the others actually feel a sense of relief in a certain sense.

Not everyone is willing to sacrifice as much as he and Tianjie have.

Chu Qi had long guessed this result; he simply waved his hand and left first.

Song Xian and Tianjie left Tao Baibai's Private Space with a full thirty sets of Gantz equipment, and happened to see people from over seven or eight teams already arriving at the stall.

They were displaying various materials, presumably hoping to build a good relationship with the future big shot, Tao Baibai.

A guy whose hands are stained with the blood of Reincarnators has instead become an object for other Reincarnators to curry favor with; such a thing seems quite absurd.

Tianjie only watched this scene indifferently; he swore that he must absolutely not let Dongxia become like this.

He cannot accept the collapse of order, with everything yielding to pure bloodshed and violence...

In Korea, at the March Conglomerate building, the giant screens above have already begun to scroll non-stop with various promotional videos related to 【Ability Users】.

【Han Baihu】 has already been positioned as a sort of top-tier star or idol; images of him transforming into his half-human, half-tiger form are everywhere.

Although similar things had appeared in various film and television works before this, Han Baihu's transformation—which allows cameras to capture all sorts of close-ups and details—is still completely different.

Koreans have an inexplicable obsession and reverence for the image of the white tiger, and Han Baihu was chosen for this reason to become a figurehead of this kind.

The March Conglomerate now rarely places advertisements for those new smartphones, monitor screens, or even its chip business in various locations, and rarely continues to promote them.

Under Li Qingzi's iron-fisted rule, various voices within the group quickly vanished; some people also believe that certain board members were physically eliminated.

In short, the behemoth that is the March Conglomerate has quickly completed its transformation.

Under the control of the March Conglomerate, Gaoli has also quickly undergone a transformation, and the citizens have fully accepted the existence of the emerging race of 【Ability Users】.

Furthermore, a special kind of national pride has emerged, with the belief that their Gaoli nation is the first to accept and embrace 【Ability Users】, and that Gaoli will play an even more important role in the future progression.

In a certain sense, what they are saying is not entirely wrong.

The March Conglomerate has also begun research into Gantz technology and various other types of items and knowledge.

Inside the building, Han Baihu—who has now become the truly unique top-tier celebrity of Gaoli, surpassing any idol star or even baseball player—has a stern expression as he takes the elevator to the upper floors.

This is the 44th floor, a rather ominous floor.

After exiting the elevator, two Reincarnators wearing Reinforced Suits are fully armed; Han Baihu undergoes iris recognition before being allowed to enter the floor's interior.

In a huge conference room, everything including the doors and windows is sealed off by a new type of alloy.

By the time Han Baihu enters, most of the Reincarnators registered within the agency have already arrived.

As a country that has fully embraced the agency system, the March Conglomerate, in a short period of time, has used both coercion and inducement to obtain the registration and membership of over fifty Reincarnators.

These people vary in strength; the lowest have been in the space for less than a week, while the strongest have already entered the third Ladder.

"Baihu, what is this all about?"

"Yeah, Senior Baihu, has something happened? Why do I always have a bad premonition!"

Everyone's expressions are somewhat uneasy.

Han Baihu has a good character, and many people trust him; at this moment, they are all asking questions one after another.

But although Han Baihu is a key focus of publicity on the outside, he cannot enter the center of power within the agency; he can only shake his head and say,

"Be careful when you speak later. With this kind of setup, I suspect it's not anything good."

The others look at each other.

Tap, tap, tap...

The crisp sound of Footwork, accompanied by a terrifying sense of sharpness, is even mixed with a special aura that makes one's hair stand on end.

That scent is quite pungent, making one feel very uncomfortable.

Han Baihu is actually quite familiar with it; he knows that it is 【Demon Qi】!

A special scent that only emanates after one has strengthened their demon Bloodline.

It is not just a scent; 【Demon Qi】 is also a type of energy. When the Demon Qi is strong enough, simply releasing it can kill other living beings over a large area.

The mechanical door opens, and a woman with long hair reaching her waist, wearing a white suit jacket, walks in wearing high heels over ten centimeters tall.

Han Baihu keeps his head lowered, feeling as if even those high heels are radiating a sharp aura, seemingly able to pierce him to death at any moment. Killing intent... very strong killing intent!

Today's meeting is truly dangerous!

His scalp tingles slightly; this short one or two weeks of contact has made him clearly realize that this new helmsman of the March Conglomerate is a woman far more cruel and decisive than Li Xianhou.

Moreover, she is strong—stronger than everyone present!

Jin Yuean, the red-haired woman wearing black-rimmed glasses, has also made a rare appearance.

Han Baihu was previously Jin Yuean's Captain; he discovered her, so at this moment, Han Baihu looks at Jin Yuean, hoping the other party can give him some information through eye contact or mental suggestion.

But that woman, who used to wear thick-lensed glasses, is now sharp-edged, her gaze equally fierce, and even her pupils are flashing with a luster like yellow gemstones.

That is... the Magic Eye!

Crack!

As her high heels steadied, a fine, fragmented sword light actually spread out from beneath Li Qingzi's feet, causing the others to exclaim in surprise.

Only Che Xiantai, sitting in the front row, remained as calm as ever; he was the only Reincarnator in the agency who had entered the third Ladder.

Although he was over fifty, for a Reincarnator, the issue of age was not an issue at all.

"President Li, with such great killing intent, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Li Qingzi swept a cold glance over this self-important old thing and said nothing, merely signaling for Jin Yuean to speak.

Jin Yuean stepped forward, took out a tablet, and said,

"It is regrettable that someone within the agency has betrayed us, seeking profit by selling Intelligence on their own people."

"We shall here, together, witness the fate of the traitors."

Jin Yuean then began to call out names.

"Jin Junhao, Park Minyoung, Li Zhexian..."

She read out six names in a row, which was already more than one-tenth of the agency's members; because the March Conglomerate held all the data on these people, they were all addressed by their real names within the agency.

These few people stood up in a panic and began to defend themselves.

"No, I didn't betray the agency!"

"I only gave a Description of that Mr. Bai's characteristics; that guy isn't a member of the agency, is he!"

A man spoke loudly, and then another curly-haired woman chimed in,

"That's right, a guy like Tao Baibai—what's wrong with us giving out his Intelligence? If others can kill him, wouldn't that be a good thing for us..."

Hum!

A verdant green sword light flashed in an Instant, and Che Xiantai's hand gripping his scepter tightened subconsciously, but the light of his Magic had not yet ignited.

A woman's head flew up accompanied by blood shooting into the sky, then hit the ground with a thud.

Such a fast sword! Che Xiantai felt a tightness in his heart.

Li Qingzi plunged the Nano Combat Blade in her hand into the ground and looked at the others with a cold expression.

"To betray him is to betray me."

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

Han Baihu's face turned pale; Shen Huizhen was the same as him—both were Reincarnators pushed out by the March Conglomerate for publicity, and they had quite a bit of fame in the outside world.

But Li Qingzi, the President, had killed them with a single sword strike without the slightest hesitation, even though they were such "billboard" Reincarnators...

The urge he originally had to plead for the others faded significantly at this moment.

Seeing that the others offered no defense, Li Qingzi raised her sword again; the few of them looked at each other and instantly erupted, quickly unleashing various abilities.

But as the terrifying sword light shone, only the pungent smell of blood and a pile of fallen, mangled corpses remained.

After completing the purge, Li Qingzi left directly, leaving Jin Yuean to clean up the mess.

Li Qingzi took her private elevator back to her office; she closed the office door and stood by the window, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the capital of Gaoli.

The smell of blood from the killing still lingered in her nostrils, but she did not change her clothes.

She clutched that white suit jacket and even took a deep breath.

That strange yet familiar smell of blood gave her a sense of unusual comfort.

She gripped her right hand, and the gantzsword immediately extended its nano-blade; Li Qingzi gently stroked the sword, her eyes appearing as if in a sigh, as if in nostalgia.

She admitted that she was actually missing the days spent with that guy.

Those days mixed with agitation, fear, and blood made her feel more alive than ever before.

And now, was she to be shackled in the affairs of such a tiny country...

Beep, beep.

Her phone rang; Li Qingzi's heart stirred. She picked up the phone and saw the familiar number; she felt as if her Spirit had lightened a little.

*Ahem*, she cleared her throat slightly, lowering her tone completely to become cold and detached.

"Hello?"

"Woman, I am going to turn 【Paradise】 into a Public Space in the real world; go and promote it for me. All Reincarnators can come to 【Paradise】 to trade."

"And I, Tao Baibai, will provide them with shelter."
