Protagonist:

Chen Yi

A fully formed giant dragon, possessing extremely strong defense and super strong attack; compared to ordinary-sized creatures, its speed was not slow by a bit. After moving slightly, it destroyed and flattened seven or eight mountain peaks a hundred meters high.

Jiangning had no higher mountains either. Chen Yi stopped the little lizard's further attempts, pointed upward, and said: "Don't let them see all our trump cards. We should go back."

Just as his voice fell, a patch of black clouds drifted over their heads.

The Illusion Dragon laughed proudly: "A giant dragon's body can control airflow; it's innate. I found a cloud from somewhere else, so now it can't be seen, right?"

"There are also electronic reconnaissance methods." Chen Yi said while pressing down on the restless giant dragon's body: "Be quiet. They've seen enough already. If you want to move later, we'll go outside to move."

"Outside?"

"The West Continent or somewhere else."

"It's best to go to the Fire Dragon Temple's territory; they have the most metal there." The Illusion Dragon was still the Illusion Dragon. It didn't like shiny objects; it liked eating large amounts of metal, preferably enough to burst its own body.

Chen Yi nodded, raised the Summoning Ring on his finger, and put the Illusion Dragon away.

If this guy wanted to shrink again, it would take quite a long time.

Back home, his younger sister Chen Rongxi quietly walked over and said: "Some members of the West River Association have come to visit."

"In the living room?"

"Mom is there too."

Chen Yi hurried over. Sure enough, Mom had prepared tea and snacks for the gentlemen of the West River Association and was smiling and talking. Listening more closely, it was all about the Charity Association.

Seeing her son, Fang Man Yi smiled and took her leave. Mao Li and the others took the opportunity to pat their chests and say: "Rest assured, we'll transfer the funds to the association's account as soon as we get back."

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile.

The Chen Family's Charity Foundation was an institution for raising social status and exchanging for privileges. Whether donating to schools or hospitals, they would seek small privilege returns in the future. Compared to power exchange, this method was more concealed and easier for people to accept.

It was also because Mao Li and the others' enterprises were big enough that, for the sake of the West River Association's name, Fang Man Yi would personally go out to find funding sources. Only when they needed to use them in the future would they truly appreciate the value.

"Mr. Chen." Mao Li had changed into a new suit, looking like a serious chairman, and smiled: "I heard this train was delayed for a period of time, so we came to offer condolences."

"Condolences are fake; asking for news is real, right?" Chen Yi laughed hehe. For the West River Association he had organized himself, he didn't need to be polite with these bosses.

On the contrary, when meeting bosses of Level Three or Four Affiliated Enterprises, he was all smiles and amiability.

Mao Li's skin was already thick; he didn't blush at all and said: "The profits of our few companies have risen very fast, but market share is falling, so we came to inquire if tonnage can't be increased a bit more."

"How much do you want?"

"Ten thousand tons each." Mao Li and his group's First-Level Associated Enterprises totaled twelve companies, each with one ship, exactly 120,000 tons.

Chen Yi moved his neck, smiled, and said: "Your ambitions are too small."

The few people looked at each other, surprised and delighted, asking: "Is there still surplus?"

Chen Yi didn't answer but said: "You should think about what to do if the West River City-State's Light Curtain expands."

The Light Curtain's range increasing to 1600 kilometers had not been announced to the outside world. Some people could walk farther than 400 kilometers, but definitely no one had walked out past 500 kilometers. Leaving the West River City-State's range without a Combat Knight-level bodyguard team escorting, an armored vehicle would only be seeking death. Ships entering the deep sea was even more dangerous, and there were no natural deep-water wharves for them to dock.

Finding a good harbor was a matter of accumulation over time. Europe's Age of Discovery had accumulated 500 years of energy, but West River City hadn't even had 5 years. Not only did it lack basic waterway hydrological data, it was almost lacking everything.

Under these circumstances, unless someone could secretly smuggle in a large amount of advanced weapons and professional soldiers, otherwise wanting to reach 800 kilometers away was pure fantasy. Mao Li and the others were among the first merchants to know this news.

The few people were so smart they could grow brains on their knees. Mao Li said without thinking: "If the Light Curtain expands, we'll set up factories on the West Continent."

"Transport raw materials to the West Continent? Wouldn't the transport volume be even larger?"

"Use local raw materials." Someone had already thought of this early on, and the others nodded in agreement.

Chen Yi was noncommittal. Before he could speak, he saw Chen Rongxi tiptoeing and waving at the door, looking exactly like a mouse hiding behind a cat's back making secret signs.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi called out.

Chen Rongxi pouted her lips, pretending to be angry and said: "I was preparing to report to you privately."

"Hmm?"

"There's a person named Sima Jian who asked me to secretly find you."

Sima was a rare surname. Appearing in the Chen Family's residence, it immediately made people's imaginations run wild. The people of the West River Association were all restless, not knowing whether they should take their leave.

Chen Yi waved his hand and laughed, saying: "Please let him come in; let's all meet together."

Requesting a meeting so urgently was almost certainly because of satellite images. If there were other people present, he wouldn't need to explain so clearly.

Chen Rongxi obediently said "oh," and those who didn't know would think she was an obedient girl.

Thus, after Sima Jian entered the door, he saw Chen Yi and a group of West River Association merchants.

The expected private meeting didn't happen. Sima Jian hesitated for a moment and had to ask: "Mr. Chen, may I ask if you left Jiangning City today?"

"Hmm?"

"Some satellite images were noticed by the higher-ups, so..."

Sima Jian said this, and everyone present proposed to leave.

Chen Yi smiled and said: "No need, it's just a matter of a few sentences. I may have left Jiangning today, but is it normal for you to look for me using satellite images?"

"It's mainly some special matters. If we could talk alone..." Sima Jian said, suddenly feeling he was too foolish.

Chen Yi obviously didn't want to talk.

He sighed and said: "Mr. Chen, if you don't want to talk to me, someone else will talk to you."

"And what result could be talked out?" Chen Yi had a smile on his face.

Sima Jian had a wooden face. Indeed, under the current circumstances, what could anyone do?

He muttered somewhat dejectedly: "Hope it doesn't become another Cuba Crisis."

Of course, a single monster wouldn't become a Cuba Crisis. He was just complaining that Chen Yi hadn't given him a chance to speak.

Chen Yi laughed heartily and said, "It won't."

At this time, Sima Jian should have taken his leave and departed.

He might have been in a bad mood, for at this moment he actually couldn't bear it and said, "Mr. Chen, relying on being a bit older, I have a few words I want to say."

"Hmm?"

"Your luck is good enough, you obtained the Channel. But it is ultimately a gift to everyone, you cannot completely treat it as private property, this is unfair to the people of the whole country, the people of the whole world." Sima Jian finished in one breath, his face dark as he said, "Tomorrow I'm going to end my own company, I wish you good luck."

Perhaps the latter point is the real reason he's angry.

Chen Yi curled his lip, and before he left asked, "The words you spoke, do they represent yourself, represent the Sima Family, or represent someone else?"

"I represent... I don't represent anyone, just myself." Sima Jian looked deeply at Chen Yi, then left the Chen Residence.

Ever since forcibly breaking into the Wharf, his development in the Domestic sphere hasn't been that smooth. Plus the relations of the Zhou Family and the other four, without Chen Yi lifting a finger, the West River Association forced him into a dead end. Now acting as the Sima Family's messenger actually also illustrates his predicament.

The "Lord" turning into an "Aide", the frustration in his heart is imaginable.

After seeing off Sima Jian, the inexplicable West River Association people all left as well. After a while, Zhu Guangliang's call also came through. Obviously, he is the executor of the second step — since Chen Yi is unwilling to talk, West River wants to find the answer themselves.

This method is very simple for Ordinary People, but has absolutely no effect on Chen Yi; Jiangning is already under his control, unless Xijing directly sends people over, otherwise don't even think about getting a shred of information from the Chen Family.

Even if they send people, the information obtained won't be much.

Chen Yi instead comforted Zhu Guangliang, telling him to give the higher-ups an appropriate explanation.

A pile of matters done, it was about dinner time, the little Lizard boredly circled around, like a dog waiting to go out for a walk, and shouted, "Let's go to the West Continent? I want to try the Giant Dragon Form again."

"Going to the West Continent is fine, but you have to leave a tube of blood for the Research Institute." Chen Yi took out a Medical Box.

"Blood?" The sharp needle tip made the little Lizard keep stepping back.

Chen Yi grabbed it in one hand, stabbed the needle into its tail, sucked a full tube of blood, put it back in the box, then carried it off to the Jiangbei Wharf.

The box containing the blood was then secretly sent by the Naked Bear to the Biological Research Institute for analysis.

The two boarded the Subway, and the Magic Subway immediately showed an excited trembling.

Due to the Cargo Ship being loaded, the Light Curtain that had become several hundred meters in height trembled lightly, this was something that had never happened before.

The Illusion Dragon swayed its buttocks proudly, as if the Subway really was welcoming it.

"Departing early today?" Someone monitoring the Channel looked at Chen Yi in surprise.

"Yes."

"But our cargo hasn't finished loading."

"Next time hurry up." Li Renchao ran down from Upstairs, grabbing the Channel Committee's subordinate petty bureaucrat.

22:30. The Subway departs.

The Illusion Dragon didn't need instructing, it stuck out its butt and ran to the Subway Door of the Third Carriage.

Waiting for Chen Yi to walk over, after the Subway Door opened, it immediately darted inside and began transforming into a Giant Dragon.

The Subway trembled happily.

The Illusion Dragon trembled even more fiercely, occasionally crying out, "My whole body is immersed in Source Energy."

30 Minutes later, the Illusion Dragon completely transformed into a Giant Dragon.

Chen Yi then brought out a 15-meter-long Special Hollow Steel Spear, aimed at the Giant Dragon's tail and stabbed, and said, "Don't move, I'm taking some blood."

The hard scales blocked it for over 10 seconds before breaking open.

At least a bucket of blood remained in the Long Spear.

The air was also permeated with the smell of blood.

The Subway's 3rd-level Gene Completion rapidly rose from 50% to 75%.

This time, it was the Globe that appeared inside the Second Carriage. (Unfinished. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian. com) to vote Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
