Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

After lunch, we returned to Cangnan Star.

Li Fei then went directly to the fortune-telling shop.

As soon as I entered, I saw Jasmine with her hair in a high ponytail, wearing a tight leather outfit stained with blood, as if she had just been through a big battle.

"You've arrived?"

She greeted Li Fei casually as he walked in from outside.

"Hey, got into a fight today?" Li Fei sat down familiarly. After spending a week with Jasmine, he had come to fully understand that this second-tier professional was actually quite easy to get along with, and didn't even seem like a gang leader.

"Hmm... the Sand Wolf Gang is starting to make a move. One of their second-tier psionicists has attacked. They'll probably be unable to hold back any longer and launch a large-scale counterattack soon." She took a sip of her drink and sat down opposite Li Fei. "However..."

"Second tier..." Li Fei muttered to himself. When he mentioned the second tier, he remembered something. He had always thought that the Sand Wolf Gang was a gang with very weak combat power. The leader was only a first-tier professional, and the second leader had just entered the first tier. The overall combat power of the gang did not seem very strong.

Why is Jasmine, such a powerful Tier 2, so timid and hesitant?

"Uh, excuse me for interrupting," Li Fei interrupted her, voicing the question that had been on his mind.

"It's actually very simple," Jasmine explained. "The Sand Wolf Gang is just a puppet, and Sand Wolf himself is just a figurehead."

"The company's initial goal was simply to establish a gray industry in the wilderness for their research."

"However, Sand Wolf is also quite ambitious, so he started causing trouble under the company's protection. So even though he's only at the first level, he has quite a few skilled men under his command."

Quite a few skilled fighters... Li Fei's lips twitched, sensing something was amiss.

Seeing Li Fei's expression, Jasmine could roughly guess what he was thinking, so she took the initiative to explain, "You don't need to worry. The so-called experts are actually just a few psionicists who have just entered the second tier. Although the company has a strong foundation, it is still a gray industry. They don't dare to place too many powerful psionicists here. After all, once they enter the third tier, they are basically the backbone of Cangnan Star. They are all well-known figures. If such people come here as bodyguards, it would not only lower their status, but they would also be found out in no time."

I see. But second-tier is already quite strong.

Li Fei recalled his two encounters with the second-tier opponent, and realized that he now had almost no way to deal with them.

"How many second-tier members does the Sand Wolf Gang have?" he asked in turn.

Jasmine shook her head. "I'm not really sure about that either, but he doesn't seem to be very strong. Anyway, the one last night was no match for me."

Sigh... Thinking of these formidable enemies, Li Fei couldn't help but rub his temples. "Are we really going to confront the company head-on? How are we supposed to compete with such a behemoth?"

Jasmine lit a cigarette, gracefully crossed her right leg over her left, took a deep drag, and then looked at Li Fei and said, "The reason I came to see you today is because of this matter."

Huh? Li Fei looked bewildered. "You want me to deal with the company? Are you kidding me?!"

With that, he got up to leave.

But then came Jasmine's cold voice from behind, "I'm not asking you to deal with them, but rather I want you to get close to someone who can deal with the company."

"So you already had a plan!" Li Fei immediately stopped and sat down happily. "Tell me in detail."

"Actually, it's very simple. There are three major companies on Azure Star, you should know that, right?"

"I know," Li Fei replied. "Xinhe Group, the Valenta family, and Teleker Industries."

"That's right, these three major groups practically control all the industries on Azure Star right now." She leaned back on the sofa, and through the swirling smoke, the hatred in her eyes could be seen. Her voice came through the smoke: "Xinhe Group mainly operates in the pharmaceutical business, Taylor is in industry, and the Valenta Family Association is a family business formed by the high-ranking humans who first came to this planet. The three largest families are Valenta, Rosen, and Kurokawa."

"These three companies check and balance each other, and their relationship is not harmonious. And this Sand Wolf Gang is backed by Xinhe Group."

Hearing this, Li Fei roughly understood that they were trying to use other companies to deal with Xinhe.

But how do you do it?

He said directly, "Others aren't fools; they wouldn't let themselves be used as pawns. The people in these companies are all shrewd; they would never do something without a profit motive."

"So," Jasmine tossed away her cigarette, stood up, and looked at Li Fei with a half-smile, "that's why I came to find you."

Li Fei suddenly felt like he was being stalked by a pervert. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm just an apprentice. I really have no idea how to handle things at the company. You'd better find someone else!"

Jasmine smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you're an important partner of ours, and we would never sacrifice you no matter what."

Ha, you probably don't even believe it yourself when you say that.

"Tell me about it." There was no other way; he was already on a pirate ship, and he couldn't get off whenever he wanted. At least he still had the indigenous people to cling to. If the indigenous people fell, the other side could crush him as easily as crushing an ant.

"A very important person will be coming to the N7 settlement tomorrow night."

"A big shot? How big?"

"The youngest daughter of the Kurokawa family, Kurokawa Reina."

"Her?" Li Fei looked surprised. Although he was not interested in the entertainment industry, he had heard the name Kurokawa Reina many times, but this reputation did not come from the Valenta family, but from her own.

As the most famous singer, dancer, and actress on Cangnan Star, she is practically a national idol and is even well-known outside of Cangnan Star. She is the face of Cangnan Star.

Furthermore, her privileged family background gave her the confidence not to worry about unspoken rules, and there was not even any negative information about her online.

"She's definitely a big shot," Li Fei couldn't help but remark. "But what's she doing here?"

"It seems like it's because there's some kind of adaptive suit here? Anyway, don't worry about why you came, you'll definitely come anyway," Jasmine replied impatiently, then tossed a photo from her arms. "Here, that's her, isn't she beautiful?"

Li Fei didn't even glance at it, quickly pushing the photo away and replying, "Hey, why are you giving it to me? Let me make this clear, I will absolutely not do anything that would send me to my death."

He quickly sat down a good distance away.

Jasmine found it somewhat amusing and explained, "When such an important person comes, the police will definitely send people to provide symbolic protection. We hope you can secure that protection opportunity."

"Why bother seizing an opportunity?" Li Fei asked, puzzled. He then exaggeratedly slapped his thigh. "Does it mean I should chase after her, infiltrate the Valenta family, become the family heir, and destroy Xinhe Company?!"

Jasmine was exasperated. "If you can win her over, go for it. I have no objection."

"All I need is for you to report her whereabouts regularly so we can protect her."

"Protect her? Who's going to lay a hand on her?" Li Fei asked.

"You don't need to know that. Leave the protection to us. The important thing is that Rena cannot die."

"Alright," Li Fei didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was just reporting his whereabouts, and he could do that with a raven, right?

After saying goodbye to Jasmine and leaving the fortune-telling shop, his smartwatch rang again not long afterward.

When Li Fei opened the call, he was stunned. It was Song Yu's call? What did this guy want?

Considering the other party's identity, he still chose to answer the call.

"Hey? Deacon Song, what is it?"

"Little Fei, what have you been up to lately?" Song Yu's eager voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Busy figuring out how to woo a big star..."

"Oh, what a coincidence! I happen to have a job protecting a big star. Do you want to take it?"
