I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

The shock that Wang Wei brought to Emperor Star City and even the entire empire continues.

In the city lord's mansion, Zi Jin stood frozen in place.

The moment the star-destroying warship appeared, she contacted her father, only to receive the reply—to wait and see.

At first, Zi Jin had some difficulty understanding it.

But what happened next not only confirmed her father's words, but also overturned Zi Jin's understanding.

Wang Wei caught the charged attack from the star-destroying warship with his bare hands, then crushed it.

"Just how strong is he...?" Zi Jin murmured.

She suddenly realized that she didn't know Wang Wei at all.

When she was first kidnapped by Wang Wei, she thought that no matter how powerful he was, he was just a high-level Source Venerable.

But now, Wang Wei's abilities have once again raised the bar for her evaluation.

Zi Jin suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved that he and Di Xingcheng had not made enemies with Wang Wei.

Those 100,000 vials of energy liquid were well spent!

Meanwhile, inside the "No Cheating on the Poor" shop, Wang Wei was nonchalantly eating the breakfast that Bai Lu had brought him.

Bai Lu also recovered from her shock at this time.

She looked at Wang Wei and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you to be so capable."

While eating, Wang Wei said, "It's just basic stuff, nothing special."

Bai Lu pursed her lips.

No wonder he dares to name his shop "Ping Renjian Shi" (meaning "Smoothing Human Affairs"), he really can do it.

"Now you're famous throughout the entire empire," Bai Lu asked. "What are your plans now?"

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this: "Of course, we should open a store while the trend is hot, that way we can make more money."

"Make money?" Bai Lu stood there, stunned.

She couldn't understand why someone like Wang Wei would be interested in money.

If he wished, he could even hold a high-ranking position in the empire.

"Is money really that good?" Bai Lu murmured.

Wang Wei glanced at her, took out a vial of energy from his pocket, and twirled it between his fingers: "Want some?"

Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "For me?"

Wang Wei deliberately said, "Don't leave tonight."

Bai Lu's face stiffened. She understood what Wang Wei meant. "I'm not that kind of person."

Wang Wei took out another one: "Is this enough?"

Bai Lu was slightly angry upon seeing this.

So that's what she was like in Wang Wei's eyes!

Just as she was about to refuse, Wang Wei calmly took out ten more and placed them in front of her.

Eleven vials of energy liquid, worth 330 billion Imperial Coins.

If she nods, it's hers.

Bai Lu's breathing suddenly became rapid.

She swallowed hard, her eyes glued to the pile of energy liquid.

Wang Wei was somewhat surprised. Could they still hold onto their bottom line?

He then took out twenty more and placed them in front of her.

Thirty-one vials of energy liquid were neatly stacked on the coffee table, gleaming enticingly under the light.

Bai Lu's breathing became completely disordered.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say, "I'm not that kind of person," but the words that came out were, "You...you're serious?"

Looking at her conflicted expression, Wang Wei suddenly laughed and reached out to take all the energy liquid back.

"Just kidding. I know you're not that kind of person."

Bai Lu looked stunned, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, unsure of what to say.

She hesitated for a moment before whispering, "If you really like me, you don't need to give me these things..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei suddenly became wary.

He looked at Bai Lu cautiously: "You want to marry me and then give me half of the energy liquid?"

Bai Lu blushed, and said angrily, "Go to hell! Who wants to marry you!"

"Haha..." Wang Wei laughed without restraint.

Bai Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost ruined her reputation in her later years.

However, she felt inexplicably disappointed.

Just then, Wang Wei's ID card suddenly beeped.

Wang Wei was taken aback, then answered the call.

The virtual customer service representative reappeared, and was ten times more respectful than before.

"Hello, we have reopened your complaint. The company involved is willing to provide ten times the compensation you requested, amounting to 100 million bottles of energy liquid. Are you satisfied with this solution?"

Bai Lu, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

One...one hundred million?

The unit is not Imperial Coins, but Primal Energy Liquid!

She counted on her fingers: one hundred million bottles of energy liquid would be enough for her to live for tens of thousands of lifetimes.

However, Wang Wei responded expressionlessly, "Not satisfied. Have them recite the numbers again."

The virtual customer service representative smiled and said, "Your request has been recorded and will be forwarded. You will be notified of the new solution within 24 hours."

After saying that, the virtual customer service representative disappeared.

Bai Lu looked at Wang Wei in disbelief: "Why did you refuse such a good offer?"

Wang Wei said slowly, "I demanded ten million when I was in the wrong, but now that I'm in the right, I naturally have to raise the price."

He patiently guided Bai Lu to correct her thinking, "Think about it, maybe they sent a star-destroying warship to bomb me, but it didn't kill me. Now they're scared and want to send me away with a hundred million guns?"

Wang Wei solemnly asked, "Is my life only worth one hundred million guns? Is my shop only worth one hundred million guns? Are the lives of billions of people in Emperor Star City only worth one hundred million guns?"

Bai Lu stared blankly at Wang Wei.

So that's how he calculates things.

However, Bai Lu still grasped the key information: "Is it a warship sent by the leading force?"

She angrily said, "If that's the case, the Enforcement Division cannot stand idly by."

"It's not certain yet," Wang Wei said casually. "I personally think it's them."

Bai Lu was taken aback.

Can you just guess about something like that?

"What? You think what I said doesn't make sense?" Wang Wei asked.

"No," Bai Lu quickly shook her head, "You have a point."

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

He suddenly got up and walked to the third floor: "I'm going to take a nap. You watch the shop. Accept any money that comes your way."

"Okay," Bai Lu replied instinctively.

Wang Wei returned to his third-floor bedroom, but instead of actually sleeping, he entered the virtual network space.

He plans to use his current momentum to open branches in other major cities of the empire.

This way, the efficiency of earning energy liquid will be higher; otherwise, some people would have to travel thousands of miles to Emperor Star City to deliver money to him, which would be a waste of time.

On the virtual network, Wang Wei directly posted the demand information:

Purchase a prime location shop in one of the eleven main cities of the Empire and open a "No Cheating on the Poor" branch. At the same time, recruit eleven full-time branch owners.

The news caused an instant uproar on the internet!

"I want to sign up to be a shop owner!"

"I can do it without money!"

"I'll pay to work! I'll even pay you to!"

"Shop owner, choose me! My family has a clean record for three generations!"

"Upstairs, the shop owner doesn't check household registration, he checks money."

Countless people were excited.

Everyone knows that the shop owner is a powerful figure; as long as you can establish a connection with him, you can do whatever you want in the empire.

The powerful families, merchant guilds, and even the city lords' mansions in the major cities saw the news immediately and began to plan their prime locations in the city.

However, Wang Wei left the virtual space after posting the information.

He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to think.

Who was his employer who assassinated him?

Kellogg silicon-based family?

People of the First Empire?

Or was the disciplinary organization itself orchestrating the whole thing?

Wang Wei could have deduced it, but he didn't.

Because it's uncertain, it could be either side.

In other words, whichever party he claims to be the victim must provide compensation.

"Hmm..." Wang Wei nodded silently.

This is the correct solution.
