Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 92 An Unending Stream

But things are different now.

The other party dropped it off and left, which was much faster than making money gambling in Shui'ao City.

If he had known this would happen, he would have made a bet.

Indeed, strength is the only true currency.

It's just a matter of moving up one level, yet the world I see before me is completely different.

But when Meng Li opened the door, she realized she was wrong.

"The Lin family?"

Meng Li asked with some doubt.

The visitor did not come to befriend him, but to express his gratitude.

"Lin Ruotong?"

But soon, after a moment's thought, Meng Li remembered the only person with the surname Lin with whom she had recently interacted.

"Yes, our master is very grateful to you for saving Miss Lin Ruotong."

"However, due to the current unstable situation in the Ocean Blue Federation, the Master is unable to come to express his gratitude to you in person. I am here today to present you with the gift in advance. Once the situation stabilizes, the Master will hold a banquet to formally thank you."

"No need, it's just a small favor."

Meng Li truly hadn't expected that Lin Ruotong's identity was actually quite complex.

He always thought the other person was just a minor celebrity.

However, for him now, worldly identities no longer exert any pressure on him. Even if the other party has an extraordinary status, they are nothing more than someone he can kill at will.

Saving Lin Ruotong was just a casual act; he hadn't thought about any reward, so he naturally shook his head and refused.

"Mr. Meng, we know you are an Awakened One, and this gift was carefully selected for you by the Master. Although it is nothing compared to the life-saving grace, he still hopes you will accept it."

After hearing the man's advice, Meng Li thought about it and finally took it.

It's not that he's greedy for these things. To put it bluntly, if he were willing to put in the effort, the Federation would belong to the Meng family. He could get anything he wanted.

He had also come to terms with the situation. Although the other party said the gift was nothing, it clearly carried a sense of wanting to end things there.

And they figured out what the other person was thinking.

"In that case, I'll accept the gift; it's just a small favor. I'll skip the banquet."

Meng Li had no objection to this.

He had no intention of getting involved with the powerful families of the Ocean Blue Federation, so he was happy to accept their offer to buy out his shares.

To avoid the other party thinking he has ulterior motives, which could lead to a bunch of messy situations and force him to go on a killing spree.

Although he had countless lives on his hands, killing was merely a means to an end for him. He was a good person and would try his best to avoid killing if possible.

Seeing that Meng Li accepted it, the expression on the other person's face finally relaxed a little.

Just then, someone rang the doorbell again.

Meng Li bowed apologetically to the man before her, then went to open the door.

"Mr. Meng, I am the mayor of Huaihai City."

Another heavyweight figure.

Huaihai City is a prefecture-level city, directly under the jurisdiction of his current county-level city. The status of its mayor is self-evident. The fact that the other party was able to come so quickly shows that they had already noticed him.

Upon meeting Meng Li, the other party didn't waste any time with small talk but went straight to the point.

"We have always been extremely eager to have a young talent like you. The person behind me is the director of our Huaihai City Administration Bureau. We hope you will consider that if you can settle in Huaihai City, you can contact us directly for any worldly or extraordinary needs you may have."

For a moment, Meng Li almost thought he had returned to the Superpower Empire.

Even if he is quite strong, logically the other party shouldn't be so eager right from the start.

But he misunderstood.

Because he hadn't had time to check the news after returning, people kept coming to visit him, so his understanding of the information was slightly inaccurate.

At this time, the abnormal phenomenon of monster invasion in the Federation has become increasingly obvious. Many of them are even invisible and intangible, and are not afraid of artillery fire. If it weren't for the existence of Awakened Ones, many cities would probably have fallen.

It is precisely because of this that the status of Awakened Ones in the Federation has greatly improved, and Awakened Ones with strong abilities like Meng Li are highly sought after by local rulers.

The mayor of Huaihai City wasn't stupid. After learning about Meng Li's strength, he started paying attention to the area. Upon discovering that Meng Li had returned, he dropped everything and rushed over immediately.

Even the Zhou family, who were the first to give gifts, were arranged and tacitly approved by him.

After all, although Meng Li's file has been studied countless times, who knows how much reference value it still has now?

The Zhou family were the kind of frontline fighters who went through fire to test Meng Li's attitude toward the family and the Federation.

It would be best if Meng Li had a gentle temperament.

He proceeded to make contact as planned.

But if he is brutal or cynical, then it will be troublesome. He will have to revise the contact plan, and if necessary, even deploy weapons to kill him.

Fortunately, the situation is developing very well.

Although he didn't know whether Meng Li would agree or not, he had already gained the upper hand.

After explaining the pros and cons to Meng Li, the mayor of Huaihai City did not offer much further advice.

After Meng Li said she needed to think about it, he decisively put down the gift and turned to leave.

"Sorry, we had a customer just now."

"fine."

The Lin family members looked at Meng Li, who placed the gift box against the wall along with their own, with somewhat strange expressions.

He recognized the identity of the mayor of Huaihai City at a glance. After all, as the chief secretary of that leader, it was understandable that he didn't recognize the lower-level officials, but he had the mayor of a prefecture-level city in his mind.

But as far as he knew, Meng Li's superpower was just ordinary teleportation. Was the mayor of Huaihai City so eager to recruit talent that he was so courteous to an ordinary awakened person?

Before he could even figure it out...

It was as if they had made a prior arrangement.

As the doorbell rang, Meng Li, who had just sat down, had to get up again to greet the doorbell.

When the door opened again, Meng Li was greeted by a group of successful people in suits and ties.

It seems that all the major families in Huaihai City have come.

This is the Lin family, and that is the Li family.

Later on, there were so many different kinds of families that Meng Li became too lazy to remember them all.

They all handed over gifts and business cards and then turned and left.

Even so, because there were so many, the corners of Meng Li's room were piled high with gift boxes of all sizes.

More than half an hour passed before the crowd gradually dispersed.

He sat back down.

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy."

"fine."

This time, the Lin family members waited for a few minutes with strange expressions, making sure no one else was coming.

"Mr. Meng, I won't bother you any longer. I'll be leaving now."

As if his backside was on fire, he said goodbye and hurriedly left.

Watching his receding figure, Meng Li didn't think much of it and instead began to unwrap the gift in front of her.
