Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 552 Customized Champion
——What a terrifying aura!

The leader of [Emerald Pharmaceuticals], a man who maintained a human outline but seemed to be wriggling under his skin at any time, looked at the nearest woman, the leader of [Dust Contract Generation] who was dressed elegantly and gracefully, and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

Momentum, aura... no matter what you call it, for them who have reached the fourth ring [Sublimation], these are no longer empty words.

Even if they were the least good at the spiritual realm [Transcendence] in theory, when they reached their realm, they could overwhelm ordinary people with a glance, the oppression from the life status. Yes, not every one of the eight of us was good at "momentum".

But after gathering the strength of the eight, the combined momentum was still extremely strong, but this time they were unable to suppress the opponent at all, and instead collapsed like a landslide!

Compared to the records in the archives, the opponent's strength - to be more precise, his attainments in momentum - has actually improved a lot!
"Compared to someone's 'power', your methods, huh..."

Song Shi stood with his hands behind his back: "I don't want to be too rude, so I won't say the word trash."

"What an arrogant tone. What a powerful backing."

Reginald Barker grabbed a piece of ice and chewed it with a crackling sound. Large pools of icy water flowed out from between his teeth, crawled over his jaw, and formed patches of water that covered the handmade carpet.

Even among the eight people, he is still the most eye-catching one.

[Southern Region Heavy Industry] belongs to [Transcendence] who has always liked strong and sturdy physique. A three-meter-tall man looks like a small iron mountain even when sitting there.

"As long as I tear you apart." Reginald's pupils turned scarlet and he laughed wildly: "Hehehe, I will definitely be able to break through to the fifth ring."

Song Shi glanced at him and said only four words.

"——You are worthy of it?"

Reginald straightened up suddenly.

"Let's stop here." The leader of [Dark Crystal Credit], a man dressed in formal attire and speaking in an orderly manner, clapped his hands lightly and said, "Let's get down to business."

"Song Shi, we have two requests. The first is to meet you, a genius of your generation." He said gently, "Second, if possible, can you ask your [Nine Imperial Defense] to withdraw from the World's No. 1 Security Conference?"

Song Shi waited for a few more seconds, then suddenly laughed: "That's it, that's all?"

"I thought that no matter what, you would at least give me 5 billion credit points."

"If you are willing to join Dark Crystal Credit, I think this is not a problem, we can talk about it." The other party smiled and said regretfully: "But I think you have heard these words countless times, and you chose to refuse every time."

"So, keep your life," he said. "That's all you can get."

"To translate it, if I don't withdraw, you will kill me in the next game." Song Shi folded his hands: "Even if I don't withdraw, it seems like you won't do that."

"——Keep your life?" Song Shi sneered: "If someone really only wants to pursue living, he won't come with me to the Shell Land. How can you understand?"

".Hahaha."

After an unknown amount of time, the leader of [Dust Contract Generation] covered his mouth and laughed softly.

"Oh, I've been ridiculed from head to toe. Should I not have come here in the first place?" "It's just a little trick to distract attention. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work." The leader of [Dark Crystal Credit] looked up at the ceiling and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who the champion is. The world's number one security conference doesn't matter. The only thing we must guarantee is this."

"——Only Song Shi's death."

······
"Uh, what did you guys talk about?"

Chu Tonglu was carrying a plate of midnight snack cakes when he bumped into Song Shi who was returning. He was also aware of the other party's going to the banquet.

"I sent you a soft threatening letter, saying I'll kill you if you don't withdraw from the competition."

Chu Tonglu laughed on the spot. He scooped the cake and put it into his mouth, saying, "In Paddy Morse's physical shell, you threaten a hostile fourth-ring? And you want to kill him? Ha, these guys are pretty funny."

"Want to kill me? What are you thinking?" Song Shi gave him a strange look: "I'm not participating in the competition."

Chu Tonglu's spoon froze for a moment.

"By the way, we're going to fight the Hops Group tomorrow. I checked the files and found that they have good players." Song Shi sank into the sofa next to him: "Considering the casualties, you can get ready. I haven't seen your Jiayu Mingyuan for a long time."

"If you want to get paid, I'll do it, but are you considering the casualties?" Chu Tonglu took the last sip of the cream and looked up at the young man: "Excuse me for saying something too much, but don't act like a nanny. How can there be no casualties in a competition of this level? Besides, you said that the company will kill people next."

"Throwing them out to die intentionally and having no other choice are two different things." Song Shi said nonchalantly, "We are not real corporate dogs. In order to conceal your information, we deliberately suppress our actions and use the lives of others to gain intelligence advantage - it is not the time to do so yet."

"That's good. I feel relieved that you know the answer." Chu Tonglu shook his coat and stood up. "Oh, there's one more thing."

"Song Shi, forgive me for being blunt, but even with my participation, it's still a bit unrealistic for us to win the championship." He gestured: "It would be fine if you were to go on stage yourself, but you are not allowed to go on stage in the fourth ring."

Song Shi sighed deeply.

"You really don't have the self-awareness of being a company man at all."

".Huh?" Chu Tonglu was stunned.

"Which company tells the truth when making a PPT?" Song Shi shook his head, with a tone of disappointment: "Champion? I said that [Jiuyu Defense] will go up to be a judge next year. Are you asking me to just say, everyone, we will guarantee to be in the top 32 this time, strive for the top 16, and have a hope for the top 8?"

"Damn it!" Chu Tonglu was furious. "I saw you swearing every day that you would aim for the championship, and I thought you really didn't know what you were doing and your brain was confused!"

"——You can't be too decisive."

Song Shi's fingertips condensed into flames, which turned into slender flame snakes, lingering between his fingers: "The championship prize of this World's No. 1 Security Conference, the General Security Bureau once again offered the position of 'Strategic Partner'."

"There are some signs of a world-shaking trend. The Security Bureau cannot remain immune. They also need allies to survive the catastrophe. The Enlightened Ones are obviously more suitable for this position than the giant corporations, at least for now."

Song Shi clenched his five fingers and extinguished the flame snake.

"And if Paddy Morse ends up custom-making a champion for us, who knows?"
