Chapter 109 Secrets, Believers
After leaving the airport, Li Yuan immediately spotted Diwen standing by the car with a strange expression.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"
Devon was taken aback when he heard this, but when he saw that it was Li Yuan who came out, he quickly changed his expression.
They greeted him warmly:
"Mr. Li, please get in the car."
Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to the change in his expression.
After getting on the bus, I simply asked about the project out of curiosity:
"Divin, what exactly is this project? You're being so mysterious."
Devin leaned close to Li Yuan and whispered:
"It's a small piece of software that hasn't been officially launched yet, but my friend is very optimistic about it."
Li Yuan nodded in sudden realization.
As technology advances in the coming years, the internet's earning power will continue to grow stronger.
Devin continued his introduction:
"They didn't publicly solicit funds; they just inquired about prices within a very small circle, and that's how I learned about it."
"What's the name of this software?"
Li Yuan inquired about the name with suspicion; if it sounded familiar, he planned to participate.
"It's called Facebook, and it was developed by a group of college students."
"No problem, I'll join if I can get a share of the profits."
Upon hearing the name, Li Yuan readily nodded in agreement.
Facebook is poised to explode in popularity, thus leading the way in social media.
Its stock is also very resilient.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
Diwen was very happy to see that Li Yuan had agreed.
He wanted to curry favor with Li Yuan, but he was afraid the other party would refuse if he offered money directly.
That's how they subtly offered Li Yuan a chance to make money.
Actually, Diwen misunderstood; Li Yuan probably preferred him to just give him money directly.
The car took the two to a restaurant where they had a simple dinner.
During the meal, Li Yuan recalled Keanu's words, frowning as he thought to himself:
Perhaps it really is time to upgrade our firearms.
The Glock 21's single-point destructive power is decent.
But it struggles against some of the larger ones.
For example, that Class A mutated shark.
Seeing Li Yuan frowning and lost in thought, Devin asked:
"Mr. Li, are you in some kind of trouble?"
Upon hearing Devin's words, Li Yuan suddenly remembered,
I was going to ask him for help anyway, to find the materials for the crafting.
We might as well hand over the weapon matter to him as well.
Then Li Yuan looked up and asked:
"Can you get your hands on some weapons that are powerful enough to cause damage at both close and long range?"
Devin nodded quickly and said with a loud laugh:
"You've come to the right person. I happen to have a friend who works in a military factory."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:
"Oh? Then take me to see it. I want to get a handy weapon."
"Um... I'm afraid going there is not an option; the security there is quite tight."
Seeing that Li Yuan looked somewhat disappointed, Devin quickly continued:
"But you can make a request: I'll have a friend bring the weapons to the manor, and we'll trade there."
Li Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying:
"It needs to be highly destructive, and ideally it should be able to handle both short and long ranges. Size isn't important, just don't make it too bulky."
At this point, Li Yuan handed Devin a list of the forging materials he needed:
"There are still these left; I need to make something."
"No problem, I'll make a call."
Devin confidently made the call and quickly informed his friend of the request.
They agreed to meet at Devon's manor later.
After hanging up the phone, Devin assured Li Yuan:
"Mr. Li Yuan, we guarantee your satisfaction with our weapons!"
Then, somewhat awkwardly, he said:
"As for the materials, it may take a few days, as they need to be custom-made."
Li Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding:
"Sure, just let me know when the materials arrive."
After dinner, Li Yuan followed Diwen back to the manor.
However, as soon as Li Yuan entered the manor villa, his brows furrowed.
Devon didn't notice Li Yuan's expression.
Instead, they invited him to have tea in the living room while they waited for the guns to arrive.
Devin took a sip of tea and slowly put down the teacup.
Her gaze darted around at Li Yuan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Yuan glanced at him with displeasure and said:
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"Um...can I receive the protection of the Holy Light?"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes upon hearing this:
"Aren't I protecting you right now?"
"No, I mean..."
He looked at Li Yuan, his expression somewhat hesitant, and said:
"I heard... your assistant can also use Holy Light now?"
Upon hearing Devin's words, Li Yuan frowned.
How could he know that Edward possessed the Holy Light?
He then asked in a deep voice, "Who told you that?"
Seeing this, Devon quickly said to Li Yuan:
"Your assistant used Holy Light outside the airport, uh... exactly the same way you did it."
Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked with great confusion:
"When did this happen? I don't know about it."
Seeing Li Yuan's increasingly somber expression, Devon quickly rubbed his hands together and explained nervously:
"There was a car accident outside the airport before you came out."
Mr. Edward used holy light to heal the wounded.
"That idiot!"
Li Yuan slapped his forehead and said helplessly:
"So you mean you also want to use Holy Light?"
Devon said excitedly:
"Yes, may I?"
Li Yuan glanced at him, pursed his lips, and looked towards the basement.
He asked rhetorically, with a pointed remark:
What do you think?
Devin looked in the direction Li Yuan was looking.
His face instantly turned ashen, and he explained in a trembling voice:
"I didn't want to do this, it's all to join them..."
After listening to Devin's explanation, Li Yuan said noncommittally:
"While using Holy Light doesn't necessarily require becoming a saint, it certainly doesn't mean you can't be a beast."
Then Li Yuan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said:
"Let them go."
"Release it immediately!"
Devin quickly gave the butler a wink.
Then he bowed his head and assured Li Yuan:
"I promise! From now on, I will cut off all ties with those guys and never do anything bad again!"
"You'd better keep it up, or if I find out again, you'll be dead."
Li Yuan, with his keen hearing, protected Diwen last time...
They then heard a woman's voice coming from the basement.
In his previous life, Li Yuan had heard some of the legends surrounding the wealthy circles of America.
I thought they just had a lot of different ways of playing.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the villa, they heard even more cries for help.
Who would have thought that this Devin would actually want to become my servant?
Li Yuan stated, "I've already been very lenient by not killing you."
A moment later, several bodyguards carried three blindfolded women out of the villa.
Looking at the woman's thin clothes, Li Yuan asked curiously:
"Aren't there quite a few places like this?"
Devon nodded, somewhat hesitant to look at Li Yuan.
"They are conducting the same experiment in many places, but so far there has been no progress."
"What's the name of their organization?"
Diwen didn't want to reveal the organization's name, fearing retaliation.
But seeing the look in Li Yuan's eyes, Devin took a deep breath and said:
"Martyrs Foundation"
Li Yuan had some impression of that movie.
The members of that organization were all psychopaths who were frantically conducting human experiments in order to hear God's will.
Li Yuan stared coldly at Devon, a soft holy light flashing in his hand:
"You cannot hear God's will from me; I believe in the Holy Light."
Devin immediately knelt on one knee, placing one hand on his chest.
With an extremely serious expression, he explained to Li Yuan:
"I don't want to listen to God's will; I just want to become detached."
He looked at Li Yuan and said with a devout gaze:
"From this day forward, I am a believer in the Holy Light!"
[Ding! Power of Faith activated! You now have 1/100 followers.]
[Power of Faith: Once a believer meets the required standard, they can provide the host with a portion of divinity.]
[Ding! Acquired skill: Naaru's Blessing: After use, it permanently blesses the believer with a ray of holy light, slightly enhancing their physical attributes.]
Li Yuan listened to the system's notification sounds echoing repeatedly in his ears.
He froze on the spot, his eyes filled with astonishment.
