In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 344 Trading
Although Xie Lingxin was born in an urban village, a place considered a slum by the powerful clans, she was still a person of great talent and virtue.

However, it is still quite different from a real slum.

Most of the villagers in urban villages still have legitimate jobs.

With Lao Xie around, he at least has the profession of a teacher.

Although this old man is not very responsible and often makes him go hungry twice in three days, at least he can ensure that he doesn't starve to death, so that he has the energy to do his own thing.

People like Xiaolin are truly from the lowest rungs of the slums, where people can't even afford to eat and have to fight with stray dogs for food.

He had heard of such things; there were several real slums like this in Tonggu Bay, but he had never been there.

Because of being timid.

That place is very chaotic.

Burning, killing, looting, plundering, poisoning, rape...

Every imaginable evil exists in those places.

The authorities won't interfere.

This is the sewers of a city, the cesspool of humanity.

From this perspective, compared to Kobayashi, I was actually quite lucky with my background...

Xie Lingxin sighed inwardly and said, "You can follow me for now, not for any other reason than that I need money."

Kobayashi's glasses gleamed: "I'm very good at making money."

"I believe."

The fact that he could make a name for himself in the underworld, move between so many gangs, and still live a good life, while making those people quite wary of him, is already clear proof.

"I don't care about being a dog or anything like that. As long as you can help me make money, I won't treat you badly."

Xie Lingxin said seriously, "What I have, you can have too."

He glanced at Chen Lingguan, who was arguing fiercely with Wangcai outside, and said, "In my opinion, you're much better than that guy outside."

"Aside from sharing the same blood as me, he's utterly useless!"

Xiao Lin is very shrewd; he can often come up with a complete plan from just a few words from someone, but at this moment, he doesn't quite know what to say.

This was not what he expected.

Xie Lingxin's reaction was one of only three possibilities, as he had anticipated.

One type is like those sons of powerful families, who look down on him and treat him like pigs or dogs.

One type is like those gang members, valuing him, either coercing or enticing him, or pretending to be brothers with him while plotting to stab him in the back.

One type is a poor person who suddenly becomes rich and then goes to extremes, likely gaining pleasure by humiliating him.

He could accept either outcome without hesitation, and it wouldn't change his mind about serving him; only the methods would be different.

He knew this was the price he had to pay for what he wanted.

But Xie Lingxin is neither of those.

A rare moment of confusion arose within me.

"Making money isn't urgent. First, tell me what this 'blood business' is all about?"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand, putting these matters aside for the time being.

Xiao Lin said, "I'm not entirely confident right now. Give me three days, and I'll give you an answer."

Xie Lingxin nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you for three days."

Xiao Lin immediately stood up, but then Xie Lingxin suddenly said, "Boss Xiao Lin, I have a magic weapon called the Soul-Capturing Mirror."

Xie Lingxin looked up and smiled slightly: "As the name suggests, this mirror can capture a wisp of soul. The life and death of the captured person is in my hands."

"I've said it before, you can have anything I have, but only if you can gain my trust."

"So, are you still willing?"

Kobayashi suddenly smiled: "I was a little disappointed just now, but I'm relieved now."

Xie Lingxin asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xiao Lin said, "Because you are too weak, I thought it was due to your background that you lacked ambition. It's impossible for you to do great things if you are too soft-hearted and soft-hearted."

"Now it seems I was wrong again."

He pushed up his glasses: "You don't need to wait any longer, you can absorb my soul now."

"You don't regret it?"

Will you make me regret it?

"Probably not..."

"Then do it."

"it is good."

Xie Lingxin no longer hesitated, took out the Soul-Capturing Mirror, and shone it on Xiao Lin.

Xiaolin felt a flash of light in the mirror, his mind went slightly dazed, and he felt a sense of loss and emptiness, but that was all.

A moment later, I felt nothing again.

"Okay, let's go."

Xie Lingxin put away the Soul-Capturing Mirror and smiled.

Kobayashi nodded and left with a normal expression.

It seems completely unaffected.

This surprised Xie Lingxin.

This person... if not for his limited background, his achievements would be unimaginable.

Xie Lingxin shook her head.

Everyone has their own destiny.

All he can do is try his best to protect himself.

Using the Soul-Capturing Mirror to control Xiaolin may seem a bit illogical, but it's also perfectly reasonable.

After all, this was the first time he had met this person, and he couldn't possibly believe him completely based on just a few words.

"Wangcai, let him in!"

With a shout, Wangcai ran in again, carrying Chen Lingguan in its mouth. It turned its head and flung him to the ground.

"Ouch! You damn dog!"

"Xie Lingxin! You're not human! How could you treat your own brother like this!"

Xie Lingxin sneered: "Younger brother? I remember your surname is Chen, right?"

Chen Lingguan immediately shut his mouth and shrank back.

This is the thing he feels most guilty about in his life—he can't talk back.

Xie Lingxin pouted and said, "Let me see how well you've mastered the Azure Emperor's Ascent to Penglai."

"Hey, you'd better open your eyes and take a good look, don't be startled!"

Chen Lingguan immediately started trembling again.

He felt that in such a short time, he had mastered the Ten Directions Visualization Diagram, such as "The Azure Emperor Steps on Penglai," and had even broken through the three mental barriers. He was very confident that he would reach the fourth barrier after his sophomore year.

How many of the four mental hurdles of a sophomore year can a student under 19 years old face?

Who dares to say he isn't a genius!

who? !

A faint sense of life rose from the room, carrying a gentle moisture, like a spring drizzle.

This clearly shows that the Azure Emperor has entered the gate of Penglai.

Xie Lingxin nodded inwardly.

I have to say, this kid is really talented.

If I hadn't used cheats, I probably wouldn't be as good as him.

No wonder that woman chose him back then.

"Okay, you can go back."

Having figured things out, I decided to get rid of him.

Chen Lingguan's eyes darted around.

"Um...brother..."

The word "brother" sent chills down Xie Lingxin's spine and gave her goosebumps.

"What was that trick you used to deal with those thugs at the ancestral hall called...?"

Xie Lingxin immediately knew what he wanted to do, and smiled disdainfully: "You want to learn?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Chen Lingguan nodded repeatedly, his face full of anticipation: "Is it alright?"

"No."

Xie Lingxin's resolute statement enraged him: "Xie Lingxin! I'm your own brother!"

Xie Lingxin sneered: "Did I acknowledge you?"

"you……"

"If you want to learn this, wait until you break through the sixth level. Wangcai, throw it out."

Chen Lingguan was snatched away by Wangcai again.

But he didn't yell or shout.

Because he's a bit silly.

Only one thought occupied my mind: Break through the six barriers...

The strange woman said that Xie Lingxin had broken through the sixth level and was qualified to compete for the title.

He didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just nonsense.

But now, hearing Xie Lingxin's words, he began to understand.

What that woman said is true!
Title-level... He's actually a title-level person?
The breakthrough phenomenon that everyone in Leizhou was talking about before was him?!

Chen Lingguan wasn't stupid; he connected everything together and realized the truth.

Then I was dumbfounded.

How is this possible?
Isn't this even more outrageous than Chen Jinxin?

He had just learned the news that Chen Jinxin had broken through six levels of barriers at the Central University.

But it happened this month.

That strange phenomenon appeared several months ago!
After Wangcai threw him out of the small villa, he sat blankly on the ground, and then subconsciously climbed into his sports car.

“Hey~!”

After a while, a strange cry suddenly rang out.

Just kidding, who is this?

My brother! My own!
"Boom~!"

The Thunder supercar roared, as excited as Chen Lingguan, and suddenly shot off.

All the way back to the Chen family manor, Chen Lingguan was still incredibly excited, grinning foolishly and walking unsteadily.

Passing through the large reception room, I found Chen Yuntao receiving guests.

When Chen Yuntao saw him, he frowned slightly: "So impulsive, what kind of talk is this?"

"Dad." Chen Lingguan immediately stopped grinning and greeted him nervously.

"You're busy, I'll go back to my room first."

Just as he was about to slip away, Chen Yuntao stopped him: "Wait, you've been handling the job in Leigong Village all along, haven't you?"

Chen Lingguan nodded: "Yes, Dad, is there a problem?"

He felt very nervous and also found it strange.

Didn't you ask me to do this? Do you even need to ask?
Nothing will go wrong, right?
Chen Yuntao pointed to the guest next to him and said, "This is Young Master Xiao Longtu, a distinguished guest from the Central Star. Please pay your respects first."

Chen Lingguan did not dare to hesitate: "Young Master Xiao."

But I also felt strange.

Xiao Longtu?
Which member of the Xiao family was in that special task force?
By now, the existence of the special task force is no secret among the major families in the new district.

The people inside were thoroughly studied, and Chen Lingguan had also heard of them.

Just as he was wondering, Chen Yuntao said, "Young Master Xiao has come this time with the intention of acquiring shares in the Spirit Mine. Could you explain the situation to Mr. Xiao?"

Chen Lingguan seemed to have a thorough understanding of this, and immediately said, "According to the speculations of sellers in the city, the complete collapse of that domain should have happened this month."

"That means the spirit minerals will appear this month, and their ownership will be allocated according to the nearby land."

“The municipal government holds the largest share, 25%, followed by our Chen family and Qixing Academy, each holding 20%, and the remaining 25% is distributed among several major clans in Leizhou.”

Chen Yuntao said, "Hmm, anything else?"

besides?

Chen Lingguan was stunned for a moment, then remembered Chen Yuntao's instructions.

He glanced at Xiao Longtu, a thought flashing through his mind, and said, "Oh, so our Chen family's share has been transferred to my brother and sister's names."

"Didn't you say that they are the best people in our two companies, and we should give them enough resources to support them?"

Chen Yuntao then nodded and smiled at Xiao Longtu, "Young Master Xiao, you heard that too?"

“It’s not that I’m reluctant to part with it. Young Master Xiao’s price is very fair, and it is indeed a good deal. But it’s just unfortunate. I can’t take back what I’ve given to a junior, can I?”

Xiao Longtu showed no surprise upon hearing this, and simply smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I was being presumptuous."

"Patriarch Chen is truly generous, giving away such an important resource as spirit minerals so readily."

Chen Yuntao smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? One is my biological daughter, and the other will be family sooner or later. It's only right."

"Ha ha……"
