Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 320 Qin Shi Mo Yu's Endless Greed

The next day, early in the morning.

The faint morning light shone through the window lattice, barely dispelling the gloom of the candlelight that had burned all night.

Qin Shi Moyu had been working tirelessly at his desk for a full day and night without sleep.

With superhuman energy and analytical skills far exceeding those of ordinary people, they finally managed to get through these seemingly unrelated volumes of files.

We have regained control of the Han and Baiyue regions, and these are the changes that have occurred in the past few months.

Such long hours and high-intensity monotonous work.

Even Yan Lingji, who was standing to the side, looked a little tired. Her charming eyes were drowsy, and her eyelids kept drooping.

In contrast, Qin Shimoyu, sitting behind the desk, was still full of energy, with clear eyes and no sign of fatigue.

Although Yan Lingji had previously pushed her lightness skill relentlessly to rush back to Xinzheng, it was nothing compared to the self-torture-like "non-stop" work in front of her.

Given Qin Shi Mo Yu's workload, Yan Ling Ji is genuinely worried that he might die from exhaustion!
After reaching the Innate Realm, theoretically, one does not need to sleep.

But that's done by practicing meditation, which has a similar effect to deep sleep, not actually making you a 007!
Let alone carbon-based life forms, even silicon-based life forms need to rest sometimes.

"Owner……"

Yan Lingji gently pressed her throbbing temples, trying to stay awake, and softly advised, "It's already dawn, you should have some breakfast and rest for a while."

Qin Shi Moyu glanced at the mountain of unwritten bamboo slips beside him, estimating that it would still take an hour:
"It's alright, let me finish reading the rest first."

Yan Lingji's lips twitched slightly, feeling utterly powerless.

This man really treats himself like an animal.
No, I doubt any farmer in the world would mistreat their oxen like that!

After all, it's a terrifying thing if large livestock really start to lose weight!
Just as I was debating whether to forcefully persuade him, a series of steady footsteps came from behind me.

Dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, with a three-foot-long sword hanging from his waist, he strode into the study, his face expressionless, and said:

"Commander, the several 'Net' strongholds and spies that you specifically ordered to be secretly monitored... have just been wiped out. According to the investigation, it should be Ji Wuye's men."

Qin Shi Moyu paused, stopping his reviewing, and a smile crept onto his lips.
"Looks like the fish took the bait."

Upon hearing this conversation, Yan Lingji, who was feeling drowsy, suddenly became more alert.

The two of them seemed to be talking about something important that she couldn't understand.

Under normal circumstances.

She has always been too lazy to bother with such brain-taxing matters.

But Qin Shi Mo Yu's words from last night, "The Crimson-Eyebrowed Dragon-Snake will die!" still haunt me like a nightmare.

His commanding presence today clearly indicates that he's planning something big again!
It's hard not to connect the two things!
Was Tianze also bait used by Qin Shi Moyu to deal with someone?

"Commander, what's our next move?"

Mo Jia's cold voice interrupted Yan Lingji's thoughts.

Qin Shi Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment.

The original plan was to mobilize an elite force to "close the net" against Ji Wuye.

In South Korea, the only elite troops he had available were the remnants of the Baiyue army.

After dividing up houses and land, dividing up wives, and undergoing six months of regular intensive training.

After being equipped with superior armor, their combat capabilities are definitely something to look forward to!
But... just a few days ago, the hero Mo Yu had provided him with more than ten armed helicopters.

Putting aside everything else, just look at the twenty-odd aircraft machine guns he dismantled...
We just need to find a way to lure the enemy into a narrow valley.

Then block it from both the front and back.

Even if you are a military-level legion, you will perish here!

Therefore, Qin Shi Mo Yu decided to abandon the original troop deployment plan.

He's not one of those Souls players who enjoy suffering and self-torture.

He doesn't use cheat codes; he simply wants to cultivate this world deeply, to help it develop a complete technological tree and its own innovative capabilities.

Rather than simply being a large factory.

Again.

As for factories, the world of Kill la Kill, with its inherent advantage in materials, and the modern world are both superior to the world of Qin's Time.

But that doesn't mean he can't cheat!

As long as no one sees it!

As long as it doesn't seriously interfere with the normal development of the world's technology tree!
Qin Shi Mo Yu truly didn't mind exchanging the art of war with the cavalry and infantry of the cold weapon era using a Gatling gun.

Just imagining this scene of overwhelming power made him feel a little excited.

If you have a cheat program and don't use it, then what's the point of using it?!
The only problem now is
How can we get Ji Wuye to make the first move against him?
He needs to create the perfect victim persona of being 'forced' into the political and party system in order to occupy the moral and public opinion high ground and further improve his persona.

And how to make Ji Wuye completely lose his mind and personally lead the core main force away from Xinzheng, stepping into the encirclement he had carefully set up?

The former already has a plan.

He's quite confident when it comes to directly mocking someone and messing with their mentality.

As for the latter...
We might need Bai Yifei, that traitor, to help us out.

After only a moment's thought, Qin Shi Moyu filled in the details of what was originally just a rough outline of the plan in his mind.

He looked up at Mo Jiayi:

"Has the cultivation technique been sent to Mingzhu?"

"It's been sent over."

Mo Jia answered respectfully.

A strange and playful look quietly appeared on her usually cool and aloof face.

She couldn't help but recall it again.

The Chao Nv Yao's face lit up with barely suppressed excitement and ecstasy when she first received the cultivation technique;

And the overwhelming joy of discovering a treasure after eagerly unfolding and examining it;
And... the most exciting and interesting part...
When she discovered that the martial arts manual in her hand was not only the second volume, but also that five key bamboo pieces had been maliciously removed,
The astonishment, blankness, confusion, anger, and frustration on his face eventually gave him an amusing expression that was even uglier than crying.

All I can say is... it is indeed quite interesting.

It's no wonder that our own president has always been so enthusiastic and engrossed in this pursuit.

"After receiving the 'secret manual,' she entrusted her subordinates to convey a message to the commander. She said... she hadn't seen you for several months and missed you terribly. She also said... she had been practicing the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) diligently recently and had learned a few new pieces, which she would personally play for the commander to appreciate."

At this point, a hint of confusion and bewilderment flashed across Mo Jia's eyes.

When did our commander start liking to listen to xiao music? Isn't his favorite music usually qin music?
She followed Qin Shi Mo Yu from the moment he entered the Mo family, making her arguably the person who has been with him the longest.

Mo Jia was confident that he knew his commander's many habits better than anyone else.

That's why she practiced her zither skills so diligently at Zilanxuan.

And indeed, her commander had repeatedly praised her exceptional musical skills. Could it be a new hobby of his? Should she also take some time to learn a few tricks herself?
"Oh? Xiao Ji..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Moyu couldn't help but picture the alluring lips of the Chao Nu Yao, painted with vibrant nail polish, and her awkward, youthful first taste of forbidden fruit.

"Hmm... Since the beauty is so hospitable, I should naturally show some respect and properly 'appreciate' her."

He licked his dry lips.

"Reply to her, I will go to Zilan Pavilion at Chenshi (7-9 AM). Tell her to wait for me in private room number one on the third floor."

"Yes."

Mo Jia nodded and turned to leave to deliver the order.

"Wait a moment."

Qin Shi Moyu called out to her again:
"Send an invitation to Bai Yifei as well. He is invited to the private room number two on the third floor of Zilan Pavilion. He has some free time today and has prepared a small feast for a gathering at Chenshi (7-9 AM)."

"Remember, send the two invitations separately. Tell Mingzhu to be careful not to let her cousin find out."

"understood."

Although Mo Jiayi did not understand the meaning, he still accepted the order without hesitation and arranged for people to notify them separately.

As Yan Lingji watched Mo Jia's capable figure disappear into the distance, her charming fiery eyes filled with worry again, and she turned her gaze to Qin Shi Moyu.

She desperately wanted to know what Qin Shimoyu's plan was, and even more so, she wanted to know whether Tianze was alive or dead.

However, her red lips twitched several times, but she ultimately did not speak.

Because she understands it better.

Given the man's unpredictable temperament.

The more concerned and attentive one is to Tianze's safety, the higher and more resolute the commander will be in taking action against Tianze!

Last night, in her moment of panic, her concern almost pushed Tianze to the guillotine!

If Tianze were to speak again now, he would surely die, with no chance of survival whatsoever!

He remained silent, watching his former master die without taking any action; his conscience was troubled.
To speak would be tantamount to sending him to his doom, making it even harder to feel at ease!
can only say……

The warrior's subordinates are dangerous.

Because these are often life-or-death tests, if you can't pass them, you have to send them away.

Being a subordinate of a group of heroes is mentally exhausting.

Although he was destined for greatness, he was too lazy and relied entirely on his subordinates to push things forward.

Being Qin Shi's subordinate is heartbreaking.

Although the danger level is low, you don't have to work too hard, and the pay is high enough, he will occasionally mess with your mindset.

Furthermore, the more someone is valued by him, the more frequently and intensely he manipulates their mentality!

Tide Demoness, Flame Spirit Princess, Madam Hu, Jing Ni...

Zhao Tuo, Xuan Jian...

It can be said that, apart from the Mo Jia Yi being a rather special case, the rest are all without exception.

He really messed with their mentality.

Qin Shi Moyu seemed completely oblivious to Yan Lingji's incredibly complex inner struggle. He slowly raised his head, his gaze gently falling on her beautiful, slightly pale and haggard face, and said with concern and tenderness:
"I know you must be tired from traveling day and night. After breakfast, go take a bath and change your clothes, then go back to your room to rest and recharge."

Yan Lingji looked at the commander, who seemed to have forgotten what happened last night and had returned to his gentle and refined demeanor. Her red lips were tightly pressed together, and she struggled with inner turmoil for a long time before finally letting out a barely audible sigh.

"Yes... Thank you for your concern, Master. I will go and rest now. You should also not overwork yourself and get some rest as well."

In the end, she didn't dare to ask even a single question about Tianze's life or death.

Qin Shimoyu smiled and nodded, watching her slender, slightly lonely figure slowly disappear through the study doorway.

When Yan Lingji's figure completely disappeared.

The spring-like smile on his face gradually faded, his eyes turned cold, and he murmured in a voice only he could hear:

"Yan Ling Ji... Yan Ling Ji... you must make the 'right' choice! You absolutely must not... disappoint me!"

As a seasoned pervert who has lived two lives and wallowed in the mire of lust for beauty for many years, Qin Shi Moyu has naturally fantasized countless times about possessing this "dream goddess of the two-dimensional world".

They also thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having complete control over the ultimate pleasures of worldly desires such as "power, beauty, and wealth".

But... he has yet to make a move on this stunning beauty—Yan Ling Ji.

He simply used his own methods to slowly win over her seemingly unbreakable heart, which in fact also longed to be conquered and possessed!
Gradually build up goodwill.

Because, in his heart, Yan Lingji was somewhat different from Chao Nu Yao and Jing Ni, who were purely "tools of desire" for "exchange of interests".

He is very greedy.
What he wanted was not only Yan Lingji's unparalleled beauty, but also... her true heart!

He wanted her... body and soul, mind and will, completely and utterly, belonging only to him!
No room for even the slightest flaw or betrayal!!
So he can wait, and temporarily suppress his most primal desires!
He wants to... test!
He had to see for himself whether, in Yan Lingji's heart, he, Mo Yu, was truly the only 'master' left!
Does he still harbor any unwarranted illusions or lingering affections for his former master, Tianze, who has long been abandoned by the times?
He wanted her to make her own, unregrettable final choice between 'past favors' and 'current interests', between 'the illusory dream of restoring the kingdom' and 'the readily attainable glory', between 'the doomed, useless crown prince' and 'the contemporary tycoon who could give her everything'...

Qin Shi Moyu picked up his pen, intending to continue grading the remaining files.

But when his gaze returned to the contents of the bamboo slips, an inexplicable restlessness and unease made it difficult for him to calm down.

The brush hovered in mid-air, unable to fall for a long time.

He knew that his almost pathological desire for control and his penchant for testing stemmed from a lack of self-confidence and a fear of loss.

I can't help but want to repeatedly place those I value in the agonizing dilemma of 'loyalty' versus 'betrayal,' 'survival' versus 'death,' and then hide behind the scenes to coldly observe their painful struggles, to see what they truly are...

Will you choose yourself and stay true to yourself at the final decision?
During this process, he was actually very scared and suffered a lot.

They fear that they might lose something precious that they shouldn't have lost.

I'm afraid that the other person will ultimately make a choice that isn't mine!
He knew that what he was doing was wrong, even despicable and cruel.

The human heart has always been the most complex and fragile thing in the world.

It simply cannot withstand such deliberate and repeated testing.

But... the intense, deep-seated desire for complete possession, like the sweetest poison, constantly tempted him to prove it! To confirm it!!
Those he values ​​must, and inevitably will, be absolutely loyal to him without reservation! Without the slightest betrayal or blemish!

And every time the test was successful, every time he saw those he valued ultimately choose to be loyal to him, just as he had hoped...

All of this would give him an indescribable sense of immense satisfaction and supreme joy!
That intense pleasure was like the most potent poison, completely captivating him!

It must be ten times, or even nine times, stronger than the satisfaction of "power, beauty, and wealth"!

Like a poppy, even knowing it's "poisonous," he was still intoxicated and obsessed, unable to extricate himself...

"Ugh……"

Qin Shi Moyu let out a long, helpless sigh.

He slammed the pen down on the desk, his forehead throbbing slightly. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair for a short rest...
