Chapter 197. Yin Ju, the God of the Sea City
On the way back, Jiang Jianxin was in a daze, constantly thinking about what he had seen on the commercial street.

Black Eye Pharmaceuticals... released a new drug?
Is it still about awakening talents in those without any talent?

The main reason why the lower-level talents in a society with a system of checks and balances have not rioted has always been that the lower-level talents are not strong enough to compete with the upper-level talents.

—Now that Black Eye Pharmaceuticals has launched such a drug, isn't that filling the last condition for the outbreak of war?

Jiang Jianxin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

—The development of this drug by Black Eyes Pharmaceuticals must have cost money. If the cost is too high to be widely promoted, it will not directly lead to a war, but it may intensify the conflict.

Jiang Jianxin did not want war to break out, because once a world war broke out, she, as a war leader, would most likely be sent out by the War Alliance to participate in the war.

Tang Guang's sword swept across all directions, but that was to protect the common people, not to massacre cities and destroy countries.

When war breaks out, the warlord of the War Alliance will stand there, and she will be facing the entire city's people. She will be caught between the dilemma of whether to release Wan Jian Gui Zong or not. She will turn around, kill the warlord, and then slaughter the War Alliance.

—Wouldn't that be even more outrageous?

If a chaotic era truly begins, a war tycoon with a conscience like her will only find herself in a dilemma.

Jiang Jian sighed with worry, thinking that these days it's really hard to make money and even harder to make a living. He thought that becoming an elder of the War Alliance would mean a comfortable life, but who would have thought that war would come so suddenly.

The night was as dark as ink. Jiang Jianxin, feeling listless and depressed, dragged his weary figure back to the flood control office.

The moonlight cast dappled shadows on the muddy path as she trudged along, her coat still stained with undried wine.

As she turned past the last tent, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Yin Ju's office tent was still lit, its warm yellow glow standing out in the darkness.

He was sitting in a folding chair, holding a thermos in his left hand and flipping through flood control reports with his right, while goji berries slowly floated in the tea.

"came back?"

Yin Ju asked without looking up, his voice tinged with weariness. But when he caught a whiff of the scent in the air, his brows immediately furrowed.

He put down the documents, his sharp gaze sweeping over me like a searchlight: "You reek of alcohol and perfume. You haven't been out partying at a den of iniquity, have you?"

Jiang Jianxin subconsciously touched the tip of his nose.

Under the moonlight, Yin Ju's seated figure inexplicably reminded her of a wife who had caught her husband picking up girls at a bar.

She kicked at the pebbles on the ground, her voice growing softer and softer:
"Nothing's wrong, you know my abilities. I'm just a human killing machine. I can't cure diseases or save lives, and I can't coordinate affairs well."

Yin Ju didn't say anything, because Jiang Jianxin's abilities were indeed only suitable as a killing weapon. He just frowned and said:

"There are all sorts of shady characters in those dens of iniquity; don't get involved in gambling, prostitution, or drugs."

Jiang Jianxin didn't mention that he had gambled away a fortune at the casino that day and ordered six male models to do a striptease; he simply shook his head sincerely and said:
"Don't you trust me? ... I'm an honest man. I only go to places of debauchery to take a look. I won't get involved in these kinds of things."

Yin Ju nodded, barely accepting her words.

Jiang Jianxin, however, suddenly became interested and tilted his head to ask:

"Speaking of which, you've been managing the floods in Haidu for so many years, have you ever been to any dens of iniquity?"

Yin Ju continued to review the documents with his head down, his tone indifferent:
"I went there, but only to reorganize them."

He paused, then added, "They kidnapped people from my flood control office."

Jiang Jianxin raised an eyebrow:
"With the city so chaotic, do you think you can take on the entire place by yourself?"

Yin Ju suddenly looked up, his face flushed red, and his finger pointed directly at her:

"You...you're questioning my abilities?"

"No, no, no, I was just asking casually."

Jiang Jianxin quickly waved his hand.

Yin Ju took a deep breath and said, word by word, "This is Haidu! This is Haidu!"

He emphasized his words.

Do you know the significance of a city's name containing the water radical (氵)?

What is its gold content?

Jiang Jianxin looked completely bewildered.

Yin Ju rubbed his forehead, then laughed in exasperation:

"No wonder you're itching to spar with me; it turns out you don't know my skills in Haidu."

Yin Ju quickly opened the weather app on his phone, tapped on the weather data for Haidu, and pointed to the "humidity" line for Jiang Jianxin to see.

"See that? The current humidity is 98%, and the air is full of saturated water molecules."

"And they are all my fastest and sharpest knives."

Seeing Jiang Jianxin stunned, Yin Ju continued to explain:
"When the ambient humidity is below 90%, my ability to control water is very weak. I can only summon water clouds and fog overhead to bring down the water."

"But once the ambient humidity reaches above 90%, I can sense the water in the air and extract water directly from the air."

He casually made a sweeping motion in the air, and a huge ball of water suddenly condensed inside the previously calm tent, crashing to the ground with a splash and wetting the road.

"it's here--"

Yin Ju explained slowly.

"Every breath of damp air is a bullet to me."

Jiang Jianxin's pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"So... the entire air of Haidu is your arsenal?"

"correct."

Yin Ju took a sip of tea, the rising steam blurring his sharp eyes.

"Torrential rain can become my vast army, and sea fog can transform into a deadly blade."

He put down the thermos, the bottom of which made a crisp sound as it hit the table.

“In this city, I am a moving natural disaster.”

Outside the tent, the distant sound of waves could be faintly heard, and the damp night wind whispered through the gaps in the canvas, carrying the salty scent of the sea.

Jiang Jianxin wiped the sweat from his brow and said:
"pretty good."

—That's really great. No war giant is to be underestimated. Even Yin Ju, who seems to be the weakest water-based war giant, has become a top-tier player in Haidu.

...Directly controlling the water in the air, with that kind of power, if a real war broke out, wouldn't it be a nightmare to play?
Jiang Jianxin's assessment of Yin Ju's strength suddenly rose. She was about to tell him about Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals' new product when she saw Yin Ju clench his fist and strike his other palm thoughtfully, saying:

"By the way, the war tycoon from Haidu that I mentioned to you before is landing tomorrow morning. You can come with me to take a look. He belongs to Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals."

Why use the word "login"?

Jiang Jianxin asked casually.

She just found it strange, since ordinary people wouldn't log in.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he controls the winds and keeps a few artificial mini typhoons."

"Tomorrow, it will make landfall in Haidu from the mouth of the Cangjiang River, along with its typhoon."

Yin Ju spoke slowly.
