I can travel to the past and the future

As evening approached, Qiao Yuan looked towards the eastern side of the campus, not far away: "Has he already left?"

"Hmm," Tu Shanlin twitched his ears, "That was a tall, thin man with long black hair wearing a gray top hat and a dark gray overcoat. His face under the hat brim was mean and gloomy, but he was wearing a dark red skull graffiti mask, which only revealed his deep gray-white pupils on the bridge of his nose. He should be a member of the Devil Gang."

Qiao Yuan was quite surprised. He looked at Tu Shanlin with slight astonishment: "You're amazing. You remember so much detail. I remember now. That time at the branch office, you were able to find Lin Xuan's trail by her scent."

Tu Shanlin blushed with embarrassment at the praise, his eyes darting around, his big, fluffy white tail wagging back and forth.

It was the first time she had ever spoken so much in a row, and she found it unbelievable. But after receiving encouragement and recognition from Qiao Yuan at lunch, she inexplicably gained tremendous courage.

He stammered, "This is a talent of our Tushan clan. You've helped me so much."

Qiao Yuan smiled earnestly and said, "Thank you, Lin. This is very important to me. However, I'd like to ask one more question: has he found out about you?"

He had just discovered that the little fox in front of him seemed to not only crave recognition, but also rarely, if ever, receive it.

He only gave a casual compliment, and Tu Shanlin was overjoyed, his eyes shining brightly.

Is this how it is in large families?

He couldn't help but think of his father, who had mentioned in that letter that his grandfather was extremely controlling and that his father didn't want to be used as a tool for family marriage, so he eventually ran away from the city.

However, as a family on par with the ten interstellar giants of the Tianqi Federation, the Tu Shan family must be under immense pressure, given that the father of the other party is at least at the tenth level of ascension and there must be many high-level ascensions or even demigods in the family.

After all, Tu Shanlin is only at the second tier...

He was indeed a little curious.

Tu Shanlin shook his head slightly: "No, but he left after you frog-jumped to the finish line."

"Okay, I'm going back."

This second guy is smarter, and Qiao Yuan gradually formed a new plan in his mind.

Seeing this, Tu Shanlin's eyes flickered slightly, and he pouted with a hint of worry: "Do you two have a conflict?"

"It's okay, I'll talk to you about it tomorrow."

"Hmm~ Okay!" Tu Shanlin turned around and walked towards the school's main gate, his steps becoming lighter.

Are they good friends?

It should count, it definitely does, she was certain in her heart, but for some reason there were some new things making her think wildly, and she couldn't quite put her finger on the specific feelings.

That boy always had clear eyes and a gentle demeanor free from any ulterior motives, unlike any other boy I had ever met.

Like the first pure and flawless snowflake falling from the winter sky, it is enchanting.

"But...but he called her baby." Tu Shanlin became increasingly anxious.

She didn't know how to bring it up, nor did she know how to ask for information. Sigh...

……

Qiao Yuan and Hu Tu went to the cafeteria for lunch. He had already experienced the high cost of living in the main city. The cafeteria was much cheaper and more nutritious.

After the meal, Hu Tu waved and said, "Ahem, well, wait for my and Qin Xue's good news."

"Okay, don't rush."

Upon arriving at the school's east gate, Qiao Yuan immediately activated his Demon Substitute to return home. This necromancer demon, possessing taunting properties, was even stronger than a bulletproof vest.

Anyway, we have an even better trump card now.

Since Simon knows him so well, there's probably no need to hide the body double that Lina used in the battle.

Safety is the most important thing, and besides, his real trump card is to travel to the past and the future.

Upon arriving home, Qiao Yuan immediately went to the bedroom and drew the curtains tightly shut.

The guy Tu Shanlin just mentioned is smarter than the previous one; he's proactive in observing.

Unfortunately, he was a cut above the rest, possessing Tu Shanlin's powerful perception. Now, all that's left is to wait for the other party to make another appearance.

The more Simon wanted to know if he had become a cult member, the less he intended to let him have his way.

Hey, it's just for fun.

He took out a bottle of flesh and blood gene enhancement fluid of the 200,000 level from the cabinet. He had been using the 100,000 level before, and it was time to upgrade it.

Alternatively, pour the enhancement liquid into the bathtub, where it turns into a beautiful pale gold color, and then soak for an hour.

While taking a bath, he used his phone to connect to the holographic theater function at home, where a light blue image appeared in front of him. He looked up information about the Devil Gang, which was immediately clear.

The man described by Tu Shanlin is likely the leader of the Devil Gang, a small gang that has been in contact with the Hell Cult.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Simon was supposed to be a member of the Church of the Night, but he hired a mercenary connected to the Hellish Cult to test whether Simon knew the Night Breathing Technique.

Then there is only one possibility: this devilish gang leader with grayish-white pupils is Simon's spy planted near the Hell Cult, or there may even be a plan to infiltrate him into the Hell Cult.

"What if I provide this information to the Hellish Cult, like Old Jin's employer?"

Qiao Yuan thought about it and decided to give up.

While this was an excellent plan to create a dogfight, he did not have access to the channels.

Secondly, rather than watching them fight like dogs, it's better to just kill each other and get it over with.

His mindset has changed a lot since he first gained the ability.

On August 3rd, when he was kidnapped by White Rose at the Rebirth Hotel, after using the timeline to travel to the past for the first time, he thought that he could use the past and future to learn the secrets of various important figures and use them as bargaining chips or conditions for transactions.

But reality is different from imagination.

Using the other party's secrets as leverage is naturally the best strategy, but only if the two sides are evenly matched or not too far apart in strength.

There's a saying that goes, "Only those with strength can sit at the table to eat; those without strength can only be eaten."

Otherwise, the more secrets you possess, the faster you'll die. Those big shots have plenty of methods and connections; it's like throwing an egg against a rock.

Therefore, once he enters the main city, he will try his best to eliminate any threats he encounters.

Now that Captain He and Director Fan have a relationship, we should make the most of it. In any case, it will be a great achievement for Yu Jin, and everyone will be happy.

Use it as a bargaining chip, or something like that. We'll deal with it later when he's strong enough and the enemy can't kill him.

He murmured to himself, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a while. He was quite tired from doing frog jumps all day, and he felt it was much more tiring than running.

Because frog jumps are a type of standing long jump, not a normal straddle jump, a 20-kilometer lap is honestly a bit grueling.

Who would be crazy to train someone like this if it weren't for military training?

It's only because they are the transcendent beings that their physical constitution is different from that of ordinary people, far exceeding that of ordinary people by several times.

I remember when I was in elementary school, even doing 100-meter frog jumps would leave my legs weak with exhaustion; it was so painful.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

He took two deep breaths, stood up, and excitedly licked his lips as he looked at his prominent six-pack abs.

Actually, his six-pack abs were already quite defined yesterday. The intense military training these past few days has indeed been very beneficial to his physique.

This is now a step closer.

With this two-level improvement in physical fitness, plus the improvements from the military training over the past few days, I'm now approaching level 13!

Qiao Yuan laughed heartily twice.

Let's set a small goal first: to develop eight-pack abs.

Today is the 24th, only five days ago. When I came to the main city on the 19th, I was only level 7, and now I've almost doubled.

Although most of it was achieved with the help of the enhancement fluid, he was still very satisfied.

Now that we have money, it's only a matter of time before we can buy millions, tens of millions, or even billions of enhancement fluids. We'll use them when we can. Having strong personal power is the only real thing; everything else is secondary.

Even if Yan Baobao is a god, he can't be by your side all the time; most of the time, you have to rely on yourself.

He specifically checked the effects of the 200,000-strength enhancement liquid and found that using it on top of the 100,000-strength liquid would only increase his physique by half, or even a third, of what he had, but it was able to reach two-thirds!

Awesome, so awesome!

Qiao Yuan smiled and went to the washroom to dry his hair. There was a bunch of other gene enhancement fluids at home. Even if the effects would gradually weaken over time, the cumulative effect, combined with military training, would probably still be considerable.

It's time to take a look at that quantum hard drive.

He changed into a gray striped long-sleeved undershirt, put on summer sandals, sat on the living room sofa, and used his phone to wirelessly connect to the hard drive to look through the three folders inside.

The names, from top to bottom, are [Past], [Present], and [Future].

Wow, Caesar really knows how to name things.

Qiao Yuan first opened the first folder, "Past," and found that it contained about a hundred files in image and audio formats.

He opened them one by one in order.

Gradually, it was discovered that the pictures were all about the psionic factories of Legalist Heavy Industry, and the audio was recordings of key personnel and management, involving matters related to factory operations and some private secrets.

It looks like evidence used for blackmail.

Moreover, these psionic factories are all located in Joyful State, and he has visited many of them.

Ah, that's all in the past now.

Although it's unclear what Caesar intended to use it for, it certainly wouldn't be of much use to him at the moment.

Then Qiao Yuan opened the [Now] folder, and the contents were completely new.

This mainly refers to the various strongholds of Legalist Heavy Industry in the main city, including official sales areas such as large-scale arms supply stations and civilian technology flagship stores.

In addition, it also involves various aspects of Fajia Heavy Industry, including its major laboratory bases, warehouses, factories, administrative buildings, legal department, and R&D building.

With over 800 images, it is extremely rich in content and can be considered an encyclopedia of Legalist heavy industry.

Qiao Yuan looked at each document one by one, his mouth growing increasingly dry. Although most of it was public information, there was also a lot of more confidential information.

Because it not only provides the addresses of various locations of Legal Heavy Industry, but also the information of key personnel in each location, like opening a box.

He has virtually no access to or information about this, unless he uses a large amount of timeline data to look at it.

With this detailed information, the actual manipulation of explosives and other such actions becomes a piece of cake.

For Lina, this is indeed a huge legacy from Caesar, very suitable for a villain.

Qiao Yuan even saw a "familiar face".

Wang Yubin is the deputy leader of the 12th Biological Research and Development Group under the Technology Department of Fajia Heavy Industry.

The boyfriend of serial killer Lin Xuan.

When they arrested Caesar and Lin Xuan, the other party mentioned that they had taken all of Lin Xuan's intellectual property rights and patents under the guise of a romantic relationship.

Before Lin Xuan died, she said that Yu Jin was a dog raised by the Legalist family, which made Yan Baobao hesitate for a moment.

He agreed on this point. Later, during the trial of Caesar, the Legalists' orders clearly superseded those of the embers, and even the final federal court trial was conducted by Legalists...

He didn't actually like it either, but there were huge companies among the shareholders behind Ember, and in Silvermoon City, Legalist Heavy Industry held the majority stake. This was probably just their inextricable fate.

In other words, all he can do now is make the most of the Legalist heavy industry's advantages.

Before we can fully dominate the world, everything else is meaningless and too far-fetched.

Caesar only went to the main city on August 16th, so this information should have been provided by Simon.

With today's advanced technology, these things are hardly considered secrets by the company's top executives.

Because this folder does not contain any information about the headquarters of Fajia Heavy Industry.

Through online research, Qiao Yuan discovered that the headquarters of Fazhong Heavy Industry is located in the second main city, at an altitude of over 10,000 meters, and also has many space branches and a large number of planetary industries, including star destroyer cannons, star nuclear fusion extraction, neutron star development, and dimensional reduction technology.

To move such a behemoth, even if Simon were several hundred times larger, it would be impossible.

Therefore, they must borrow the power of the Mother of Night...

Qiao Yuan suddenly realized what was inside the [Future] folder.

The real Night Project proposal.

He continued watching, his brows gradually furrowing. Damn it, these beasts actually started by targeting Yu Jin, planting spies in various branches, and it's already begun.

Simon, your mother is dead!

Only now did he understand why Simon, knowing he had taken Caesar's inheritance, had turned a blind eye and instead kept sending assassins to test whether he had become a cultist...

Simon definitely wants him to become an undercover agent for the Tiandu branch, and even wants to drag Yan Baobao into it!

The first phase of Project Dark Night involved planting trusted agents in various Ember branch offices. While it was best if they were Ember members, they didn't necessarily have to be, but they did need to be very familiar with the people in the office...

The more Qiao Yuan looked at it, the more he felt like he was looking in a mirror.

Now everyone in the Tiandu branch knows him, and even Captain He wants to recruit him.

Against the sky!

Are you playing the double agent?

Damn it, he's not interested in the other branches, but the Tiandu branch where the baby is can't be messed up.

This is only the first phase of the Night Plan. The second phase is to implement a massive power outage after disrupting the social order of the main city, including destroying all backup power.

When complete darkness descends, it will become the stage for the cultists of the Night Church.

They will also summon the Night Messenger, and even the Night Priest!

Those were the guys he foresaw about the future of the wreckage area, powerful cultists from other places.

It also mentions Caesar's own methods, including the two-faced mechanical head he once summoned.

Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up. It was truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn," a new harvest indeed.

This is an extremely complex summoning incantation. After reciting it silently, you will see a world called Graham, a desolate planet with depleted energy, and ultimately decide whether to summon it.

The Graham race, who pursued mechanical ascension, suffered a devastating blow in the interstellar war. Two mechanical gods perished one after another, and their people were wiped out, leaving only some broken heads of various sizes.

Summoning doesn't require any cost or sacrifice, but it does come at a price: one will be interfered with by the mechanical will of the Graham race, constantly affecting one's sanity.

He watched with great interest, and then began to chant silently. Under the Eternal Great Luo position, he was instantly and completely purified, just like the power of the night.

From then on, the heads he summoned would obey his commands completely until they died in battle, and would be unaffected by any of the Graham people.

After that, he saw Graham, a planet filled with black smoke and scrap metal.

The giant heads that Caesar summoned are gone; only small ones remain.

This perspective seems to be fixed; in other words, it can only be summoned to what he can see right in front of him.

Not bad either.

He saw three majestic mechanical heads and three compassionate mechanical heads, each three to five meters in size, the largest being nearly ten meters.

As expected of Caesar's legacy, he has gained another means to summon six mechanical heads, or to summon six at once!

He remembered very clearly that the majestic face could emit black lightning, while the compassionate face could control machinery; both were very powerful.

Although these small things cannot compare to the original kilometer-tall, super-large double-faced head.

But at least we have one more trump card!

The Night Project is divided into three phases. The third phase is with Simon, as emphasized in Caesar's folder. The second phase can be observed and waited for.

This is meant for Lina.

If Simon implements this, it will be an advantage for the Night Cult in the second phase.

The good news is that although the plan has begun, it won't be launched anytime soon.

Another piece of good news is that he already knows the names of the undercover agents who have been planted in many of the Ember Branch offices.

Qiao Yuan fell into deep thought as he looked at the plan, which was prepared before Caesar was captured.

With Caesar's capture, he revealed some truths that enraged the Legalist leaders. The plan remained the same, but reality had changed, so the plan would also change.

He speculated that if Fajia Heavy Industry and Huanghun Group really went to war, or rather, if friction occurred...

Simon will definitely implement his Night Plan during the war phase, since the more chaotic the better.

He can't release the list of undercover agents yet, otherwise it would be a formal falling out with Simon, and with the enemy in the shadows, he would be at a disadvantage.

Since the other person really enjoys playing, let them play too, since they like playing as well.

Whew, Qiao Yuan then ejected the hard drive, reset the password, disconnected it from the phone, and put it back in the cabinet.

The password is 824710. The first three digits are the date, and the last three digits are the time when you see it.

It was already 7:11 p.m. Qiao Yuan went to the balcony to calm himself down and stared blankly at the traffic flying in the night sky.

A short while later, he began to practice the Canghai Force.

I haven't practiced for two days.

Now that my physical condition is getting better and better, my speed is getting faster and faster. By the time my baby gets off work and comes home, I have easily climbed from the 36th floor to the 41st floor.

The baby took off his mecha suit and walked over: "You used gene enhancement fluid again?"

"Yeah, level 13.04 already, hehe." Qiao Yuan stood up, then his expression suddenly changed: "Baby is amazing too, reaching Tier 2 solo so quickly."

I remember my baby just advanced to level two on the 20th, and the progress was so fast, only four or five days later.

Yan Baobao smiled with narrowed eyes: "Aha, it's mainly because I was chasing cultists last night. Are we still playing games tonight? That StarCraft game is pretty fun."

"Let's play for a while." Qiao Yuan nodded.

"Okay, I'll take a shower first."

"Oh, baby, I've been followed today. It seems to be the leader of the Devil Gang, wearing a gray top hat. He'll definitely show up again tomorrow. To avoid alerting him, I'll send you a location, and you can come and catch him."

"What?" Yan Baobao's expression changed abruptly: "The Devil Gang? I'll arrest them right now."

Qiao Yuan shook his head: "No need. He's very cautious. He only monitored me today and didn't make a move, but I already have a plan. I guarantee he'll stand there obediently and let you catch him tomorrow."

"So confident?" Yan Baobao said with some concern, "Don't try to show off again."

"I'll be at school tomorrow, I definitely won't do anything, don't worry, just wait for my news."
