Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 852 - 429: Spokesperson (Part 2)

Lin Beichen could help her retrieve that part of the footage.

"Do I just need to take care of Luo Meixiang to get all this?"

Zhao Yilian hastily said, her eyes filled with deep longing.

If she could obtain Luo Meixiang's resources, why would she be angry with her?

The reason she was angry was because she felt it was unfair.

As someone in the entertainment industry, changing faces quickly is a basic skill.

"Go away, and don't bother me again."

Lin Beichen said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yilian quickly nodded and cautiously walked out of the room.

The night passed without a word.

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxi and the others wearily left their rooms, watching the pier up close, feeling a sudden sense of disorientation.

This trip to Xiang Island had been going very smoothly in the beginning, but the last few days had felt excruciating.

Only when they stepped on the land again did they feel a sense of reality.

Liu Yunxi and the others had to return to their country, as every holiday must come to an end, and although they were just auditing classes at the Foreign Affairs College, they had still managed to learn something.

After Liu Yunxi and the others left, Lin Beichen still had to stay.

The exchange conference organized by the Feng Shui Association was imminent, and he had to stay.

Lin Beichen was not looking to support Master Wang and the others, but to see if there were any opportunities at this conference.

The Feng Shui Association had a very extensive influence, spanning over various Southeast countries, with reportedly over a hundred participants from dozens of countries attending the conference.

With so many cultivators participating, perhaps there might be some treasures.

Moreover, although he resolved the Zheng Clan, he had not yet received the treasures from their treasury.

The Zheng Clan had assets worth billions, and treasures from all directions were constantly being gathered in Xiang Island, which would take some time.

Although Lin Beichen did not intend to take advantages from all sides, he had to stay in Xiang Island; otherwise, these people would engage in underhanded tactics given human nature.

There's no shortage of people who aren't afraid to die and even more who won't part with their money.

The crimes of corrupt officials in ancient times, which led to the confiscation and execution, didn't deter people from stealing chestnuts from the fire; what's more, in modern times?

"Perhaps I should heed the advice and find someone to oversee things for me, otherwise when I return to Xiang Island, nobody will know who I am."

Lin Beichen thought thoughtfully.

He didn't care if others respected him; what mattered was that when he sought special materials, there should be someone on Xiang Island to get things done for him.

He couldn't keep running around the world every time he lacked something.

He could run now because, in essence, he only lacked money this time; various materials weren't scarce for the time being.

Before coming, he hadn't anticipated that the Zheng Clan would default.

The Zheng Clan was too shortsighted, but it was also because Lin Beichen lacked a representative locally.

If he had a strong assistant, there would be no need to come expressly to collect debts.

If outsiders knew about it, they would probably die of laughter.

Even Qin Wenwu didn't personally collect debts, let alone himself, known as the best in the world.

This train of thought once it came, he couldn't suppress it.

Thinking along these lines, Lin Beichen increasingly felt it necessary to establish a representative.

During this visit to Xiang Island, he didn't know many people.

First, there was the Feng Shui Association, and whether Mr. Gao or Master Wang, they both had great connections with the Feng Shui Association.

But after some thought, Lin Beichen felt that the Feng Shui Association was not a good choice.

The Feng Shui Association was deeply rooted in Xiang Island, with a complex web of interests, so he could ask them for help but couldn't let them represent him.

They had a certain influence themselves, and even if they gained his support, they wouldn't think it was his help and would rather believe they couldn't do without him.

With such a mindset, they would only pay lip service without sincerity.

If he needed a representative, it was best to support someone from scratch, someone with no foundations, who had to depend on him, so regardless of his intentions, the person would execute them tirelessly for the sake of maintaining their own comfort and wealth.

There were many such candidates suitable on Xiang Island.

However, those brave enough to confront great families and even willing to oppose their own families to help him search for treasures, such courage and resolve, weren't qualities everyone possessed.

Lin Beichen silently pondered, his figure flickered, and he returned to the slums.

Jiulong Village.

It's the largest and most legendary slum in Xiang Island.

Dozens of big shots have emerged from here, some of whom could influence not only Xiang Island but also the entire Chinese world.

With such immense strength, Lin Beichen had thought of it before, but due to lack of time, he hadn't managed to scout talents in Jiulong Village.

Lin Beichen released his perception.

His perception flowed along the Earth Vein, covering every person in Jiulong City in the dead of night.

These people were still unaware that fortune awaited them.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Luo Zhigui scratched his scalp; in the deep night, when everyone slept, hunger gnawed at him, making it impossible to sleep.

Three months ago, he was sacked by his old employer. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The promised settlement wasn't given, and the promised new job yielded no word.

In Xiang Island, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, even eating a plate of pig trotter rice cost 50 bucks; he had less than 200 in total, so how could he eat and drink frivolously?

His monthly communication fee nearly killed him, but without it, he couldn't even receive any calls.

Between starving and losing contact, he chose to starve.

After all, no matter how poor one is, starvation won't claim him—garbage picking could still feed him.

But today was different.

Earlier on the street, he accidentally saw some old friends and had to sneak back, worried they would see him scavenging for food.

Even when nearing starvation, he still cared about maintaining face.

After all, that was all he had left: his dignity.

Years ago, he was doing very well, but due to sticking up for a brother, he offended a big shot.

The big shot declared that whoever could kill him would get 30 million.

His boss had no choice but to cut him off.

He didn't blame his boss; after all, now that he was worth 30 million, his boss letting him live was already out of past sentiments.

At that moment, he suddenly froze, noticing through the wooden shacks of Jiulong City that the moonlight tonight seemed unusual.

In Jiulong City, lights were minimal, especially at night, when everyone saved a few bucks on electricity by turning them off early.

Thus, the only light visible was that of the stars and the moon.

But moments ago, a star appeared exceptionally bright, its presence seemed to grow, as if it was about to fall.

For unknown reasons, Luo Zhigui found himself mesmerized, reaching his hand out to touch the star.

Quickly shaking his head, absurdity crossed his mind.

Was he so hungry he was hallucinating, thinking the star was falling?

But as he thought this, his eyes widened in astonishment.

At the very moment he doubted sanity, the star indeed descended toward him.

In an instant, Luo Zhigui sprang up, eyes glued to the star, as from within it, a streak of light landed on him.

In that instant, Luo Zhigui felt a surge of strength throughout his being, where once hunger resided, a newfound vigor like that of dragons and tigers enveloped him.

As he thought this, someone suddenly appeared beside him.

"Who are you?"

Luo Zhigui cried, instinctively reaching for the machete on the table, when suddenly the person gazed leisurely at him, revealing a faint smile.

"Tonight is not the time to meet, no need to fret.

I will present you with three tests; surpass them, and we shall meet again when I grant you vast fortune."

The figure before him flickered like a ghost and vanished into nothingness.

This was an ordinary night for others, but for Luo Zhigui, it was filled with strangeness.

That eerie figure had vanished without a trace.

What exactly did the Three Tests intend to test?

Luo Zhigui didn't dwell too much; a man near death from hunger had no right to overthink.
