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

Wang Wei was resting on the third floor, while Bai Lu became the busiest person.

After a brief period of calm in Dixing City, almost all the members of some of the major families came to visit and express their gratitude.

Regardless of the cause, it was Wang Wei who saved Dixing City.

This is a good opportunity to get closer to the shop owner.

The five major families, including the Gu family who had not shown up until now, all came together this time.

Moreover, each company brought 500,000 vials of energy liquid, as if by prior arrangement, demonstrating their sincerity.

Bai Lu's shock never stopped from the beginning.

She didn't expect it to cause such a huge sensation.

Even though she was just an insignificant law enforcement officer, the people from the five major families treated her with great courtesy, addressing her as "Miss Bai" and speaking with a smile.

Bai Lu knew very well that all of this was because she was standing in Wang Wei's shop.

Otherwise, the heads of these powerful families wouldn't even give her a second glance.

After learning that Wang Wei was resting, the members of the five major families did not linger. After expressing their invitation for Wang Wei to come and visit, they left on their own.

Bai Lu's hands trembled as she looked at the energy liquid they had left behind.

Five companies, each producing 500,000 units, totaling 2.5 million units.

After the five major families left, Bai Lu thought she could finally rest, but then all the prominent figures from Dixing City arrived.

They brought anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of cigarettes; none of them came empty-handed.

Many people even gave Bai Lu a few bottles of energy liquid, just so she could pass on a few words.

Bai Lu received so many energy liquids that her hands were sore and her eyes were blurry from keeping so many accounts.

Her expression went from shock to numbness, and from numbness to existential doubt.

People kept coming and going, and Bai Lu was busy until nightfall before she saw off the last distinguished guest.

After closing the shop door, Bai Lu looked at the energy liquid filling the hall, feeling completely numb.

Many people might spend their entire lives earning only one or two bottles, but now, energy liquid is piled up in stores by the ton.

Bai Lu's outlook on life and values ​​were shattered.

While she was lost in thought, Wang Wei slowly walked down from the third floor.

Bai Lu quickly said, "These are all for you. I've written down the list."

Wang Wei nodded.

After securing a multi-billion dollar order, he no longer cared much about these other things.

Even a small fly is still meat; every little bit counts, and something is better than nothing.

Bai Lu thought Wang Wei would be excited, but he only glanced at her and then ignored her.

Bai Lu couldn't help but say, "This...this is millions of vials of energy liquid, aren't you going to count them?"

Wang Wei casually replied, "What's there to count? I trust you."

Bai Lu blinked, feeling inexplicably touched.

"Some people gave me a few more." She took them out and handed them to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei looked at the seven vials of energy liquid in her hand and waved his hand.

"Keep it," he said. "I won't miss your pittance."

Bai Lu's eyes reddened, and she said with emotion, "I never thought that someone as greedy as you could be so generous."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei teased, "How about you repay me with your body?"

Bai Lu blushed and was about to speak—

Wang Wei suddenly said, "Someone's coming, you should stay out of the way."

Bai Lu nodded upon hearing this and turned to walk towards the third floor.

Wang Wei's statement suggests that the person who came must be someone extraordinary.

After a moment, the shop door opened, and Zi Chen walked in.

Behind him, a group of people carried a large number of boxes and placed them directly into the hall.

The boxes hit the ground with a dull, rhythmic sound, one after another, quickly piling up into a small mountain.

Wang Wei watched silently until those people carried all ninety million vials of energy liquid into the store and respectfully left before he spoke.

"You were on time."

Zi Chen said in a deep voice, "Shopkeeper, the final payment has been made. I need the list of everyone else."

"How am I supposed to give this to hundreds of thousands of people?" Wang Wei shrugged. "Are you expecting me to write them all down one by one?"

Zi Chen's gaze sharpened: "Shopkeeper, what is the meaning of this?"

Even though he was the city lord of Emperor Star City, he was still a little nervous at this moment.

Everyone witnessed Wang Wei's strength today; if Wang Wei really wanted to cheat, there was truly nothing he could do.

"Don't be nervous," Wang Wei said with a smile. "Of course I won't ruin my own reputation."

Zi Chen was taken aback, not understanding what Wang Wei meant.

Wang Wei slowly said, "I will announce the entire list in the virtual space first thing tomorrow morning."

"That might not be a good idea," Zi Chen frowned. "What if it causes a riot..."

"The First Empire is utterly useless," Wang Wei said disdainfully. "They can't even handle a mere hundred thousand Kailo silicon-based races within their own borders."

Zi Chen remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then let's do as the shopkeeper says."

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this and said directly, "In that case, City Lord, please return. The list will naturally appear on the virtual network tomorrow morning."

He started directly kicking people out.

Zi Chen was taken aback.

He was actually kicked out?

When Wang Wei saw that Zi Chen remained motionless after he finished speaking, he immediately realized that Zi Chen, or rather the First Empire, must have other demands.

Wang Wei wasn't in a hurry; he just watched Zi Chen.

Finally, Zi Chen revealed a bitter smile.

He never expected that Wang Wei was not only unfathomably strong, but also had a temperament that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zi Chen spoke first: "The Empire wants to make another deal with the shopkeeper. In exchange for 10 billion bottles of energy liquid, we can obtain a method to identify the Kailo silicon-based race."

Wang Wei was somewhat surprised to hear this: "You have absolutely no solutions?"

Zi Chen explained, "The essence of the Kailo clan's consciousness invasion is memory weaving. They make some humans unknowingly believe that they are Kailo."

There was one more thing Zi Chen didn't say.

The empire was unable to distinguish who had been invaded because those whose consciousness had been invaded remained unchanged in both body and soul.

They simply have an additional experience in their consciousness that didn't originally exist.

Unless the person whose property has been seized speaks up, no one else can tell the truth.

But if these words were spoken, there was no guarantee that Wang Wei wouldn't make exorbitant demands.

Wang Wei asked, "Then how did you determine that the thousand people on the list I gave you were members of the Kairo clan?"

"Reverse the deduction process," Zi Chen said truthfully. "Treat them as members of the Kailo clan and trace their past."

Wang Wei nodded.

This is indeed feasible, but it's a clumsy method.

"It's a deal, I agree," Wang Wei readily accepted.

Zi Chen showed a hint of surprise.

He didn't expect Wang Wei to agree so easily.

After all, if he doesn't say anything, the empire will have to keep paying him fees.

Once it's said, it becomes a one-off deal.

Ten billion may seem like a lot, but in the long run, it is far from enough.

"Thank you." Zi Chen cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need," Wang Wei waved his hand. "Since you've agreed to the deal, I'm not worried about the Empire defaulting. Telling you in advance how to identify the Kailo silicon-based race is fine too."

Zi Chen was taken aback. Was the shop owner suddenly being kind?

"Actually, the method is very simple," Wang Wei said, "just two words."

Zi Chen clenched his fists instinctively.

This is extremely important to the empire!

Wang Wei took a deep breath and uttered two words:

"Ask me."
