Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 114 Dual-Line Operation: The Daily Life of the PPT Master and the Savior of Arad

Faced with Mr. Qi, whom the Hongmeng Abyss demon clan placed high hopes on, Yu Jizi dared not neglect him and directly arranged for him to move into a villa area in the middle of Xianyang.

This villa area has flowers, trees, and shrubs in the front and artificial mountains and waterfalls in the back. If you like beautiful women, there's a three-story street right across the street, where you can enjoy nightly revelry.

Before leaving, Yu Jizi left a message saying that he would arrange for Mr. Qi to go in and learn his skills after a while, and then he made a hasty departure.

Yu Jizi's words might fool the demon clan members of Hongmeng Abyss, but to fool Qin Feng would be like pushing a millstone with your bare bottom, going around in circles and making a fool of yourself.

Do you think I, Qin Feng, don't know your background, Yu Jizi?

You, Yu Jizi, don't have many connections in Xianyang. You're not part of the Empire's elite circle at all, while almost everyone who knows my mecha forging technique is from the Empire's elite circle.

And you're going to send me to learn how to build mechs? Is that even possible?

It's like telling Meng Yi, "Let me play with your family heirloom for a couple of days." Would Meng Yi give it to you? He'd probably just give you a cold shoulder.

The way Yu Jizi arranged himself clearly showed his attitude: he didn't expect to make any contributions, but only sought to avoid making mistakes and offending Hongmeng Yuan.

Qin Feng finally understood that Yu Jizi's collusion with the demon race might not be limited to Hongmeng Abyss, but also included Hongmeng Heaven, the East Sea, and other miscellaneous forces.

However, Yu Jizi would never know that these forces, including his own pseudonym Qi Tian, ​​were also very famous. After he had gone through a lot of trouble, he would find that it was still most reliable to turn to him.

Of course, Qin Feng and Yu Jizi were not related, and he was too lazy to have so many personal conversations with Yu Jizi. Qin Feng was currently preoccupied with two things at once.

First, I made a PowerPoint presentation and wrote a business plan for Ying Zheng.

This business plan is not easy to write. After all, Qin Shi Huang was not a foolish ruler. Your PPT cannot be just empty talk; it must be feasible!

Qin Feng went to great lengths, first listing a series of facts, from the historical roots and basis of cooperation between the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Human Realm, to how to carry out cooperation, how to guard against the demon race, achieve a win-win situation, and let Great Qin win more than twice!

This was not difficult for Qin Feng. Based on his knowledge from his previous life, Qin Feng clearly proposed a five-level cooperation relationship, from bottom to top.

Ordinary diplomatic relations, mutual recognition of each other's sovereignty and legitimacy, and no acts of war or friction.

Strategic reciprocal relationships involve relatively frequent business dealings and mutual benefits, resulting in a relatively high level of mutual trust.

The two sides have a friendly cooperative relationship and are business allies with complete mutual trust in business matters, but political exchanges are still relatively unfamiliar.

Strategic allies are each other's staunch business allies and engage in basic political cooperation, thus possessing a certain degree of credibility.

They are all-weather strategic partners, each regarding the other as their strategic ally. If one is invaded, the other will provide full assistance.

At the same time, we must guard against the cooperation between the other six countries and the gods. The best way is to drag them into the mess and get the other six countries involved in this trade with the demon race. Everyone should get involved together, and no one should stand on the moral high ground.

In this, Qin Feng listed the abundance of precious materials possessed by the demon race, especially the real-life examples of a vast number of Xuanbing blacksmiths being able to forge top-grade materials by hand. He also listed the truth behind the demon race's import of discarded second-hand classical mechs from humans.

By exchanging resources, with humans providing magical artifacts and mechs and demons providing materials and forging techniques for mystical weapons, the two-way prosperity of the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm is bound to be promoted.

This business plan was highly persuasive not only to the Qin Dynasty but also to the other seven states.

First, it eased the tension between Qin and the six states. Currently, Qin is confronting the six states and wasting a lot of war resources. As long as the six states and Qin are on the same side, they can save money.

Secondly, if the Qin Dynasty takes the lead and helps the six states make a fortune, it can, to some extent, weaken the alliance between the six states! After all, when it comes to interests, even brothers must settle accounts clearly!

Finally, the rulers of the seven kingdoms had long been disgusted with the gods. If they could get the demon race to fight the gods without the demons having to participate, they would be more than happy to see it and might even provide subsidies!

In the very end, Qin Feng boldly predicted that as Hongmeng Abyss opened its trading ports and established a commercial alliance with Qin, the other seventeen blessed lands would follow suit and open their trading ports to humanity. At that time, the inner and outer universes would be unified, and the solar system would achieve unprecedented unity!

If everyone does business together, there won't be so much hatred. As long as the interests are aligned, humans and demons can become sworn brothers, or even recognize the same ancestor and get married without any problem!

At that time, it will be those bastards from the heavens who will panic!

From Qin Feng's personal perspective, if he can bring about a great reconciliation between the human realm and the immortal realm, it will be a tremendous achievement for his career!

In the past, Su Qin and Zhang Yi persuaded seven states; today, I, Qin Feng, persuade the three realms! This is of great benefit to myself and to the strategists!

Qin Feng spent two days working on the business plan, but in the early hours of the third day, Fu Su came knocking on the door, tied Qin Feng up without saying a word, and rudely snatched the plan away.

Faced with his increasingly rude eldest son, Qin Feng could only sigh that he had become smarter.

Fusu had come to understand a principle: the way to deal with petty people is to treat them with barbarity, not with courtesy.

If you treat them with courtesy, those who are petty will immediately take advantage of your kindness.

If you are savage and reckless enough, even a villain like Qin Feng will be helpless against you.

Although some people knew about Qi Tian's return, most people did not guess that it was Qin Feng who had returned. In fact, Qin Feng did not even tell his sweet little girl, Gu Niantong, that he was back.

Qin Feng has no interest in getting close to Gu Niantong right now; he's focused entirely on improving himself and his clone.

Compared to the treacherous power struggles, Qin Feng increasingly preferred the exhilarating thrill of life and death on the edge of a knife.

After all, nothing is more fun than a clone battle where you get a 100% experience and don't have to risk your life!

In Qin Feng's view, his clone battles are like the holographic combat online games of this era; once you get into the atmosphere, you simply can't extricate yourself!

Day 17 in the Demon Realm, sixth level of the Demon Realm.

A battle has just ended.

Facing them, on the black moss-covered ice plains, lay a twenty-foot-tall dark mech, billowing smoke and purple flames, in the very center of the battlefield.

At first glance, this mech gives people a ferocious and bizarre monster feeling. It has an ape-like tail, a huge body, and even many strange black spikes all over its body. There are also terrifying thorns around its back and neck, like those of a lion.

Around the fallen mech of purple flames, three brand-new mechs quickly appeared. All three mechs had some damage, and one of the melee-type mechs even had its arm torn off.

Three mechs formed a triangular formation, surrounding the central Fallen Mech. The lead mech, wielding a blue-white longbow, emitted a sonic boom: "Sixth-floor boss, Fallen King Kong! It will spawn at least three Demon Seeds and drop rare materials! We're rich!"

The melee mech missing an arm beside him said, "If I hadn't been there to tank for you, you two squishy guys would probably be dead by now!"

The longbow-wielding ranged mech nodded. "That's right. Brother He has put in a tremendous amount of effort this time, so logically, he should be the first to take these three demonic seeds! Why don't you open the box, Brother He?"

The melee mech with the severed arm laughed, "You guys should finish off the BOSS by opening the box. I'm already seriously injured. If I open the box now and the BOSS retaliates, it will be a loss."

The longbow-wielding ranged mech looked at the opposite ranged mech wielding a long spear and a firearm, and asked, "What do you think, Brother Li?"

The ranged mech wielding a long-barreled musket said, "Brother Han, you open the box first. You open the box and choose first, then Brother He chooses, and I'll take mine last."

"good!"

The longbow-wielding mech raised its blue-white longbow, and on the longbow, streams of mech energy gathered wildly, condensing into a light arrow that was more than two zhang long!

Just as the arrow was gathering its strongest power, a sudden and shocking change occurred!

His arrow suddenly aimed at his own teammate's melee mech!

The other two mech pilots reacted incredibly quickly!

Almost simultaneously, the long-range spear mech suddenly pointed its gun at the longbow long-range mech!

The melee mech behind him, wielding a long sword, charged straight at the longbow mech!

boom--

The blue and white Xuanbing Giant Bow erupted, arrows whistling and piercing through, leaving a trail of white rainbows that violently blasted through the damaged wreckage of the melee mech!

At the same time, the arrows severely damaged the longbow mech!

Meanwhile, the Longgun mech's giant antimatter projectile struck the Longbow mech's reactor core.

The three mechs instantly burst into black smoke and crashed to the ground.

The melee mech warrior was instantly killed, but the pilots of the longbow and spear mechs, though not dead, scrambled out of their cockpits, cursing each other. ♨🐺 ❻➈ˢℍ𝕦𝕏.ᑕỖᵐ 🍬💋

"Hey Li, I knew you were unhappy with me. Sure enough, you ambushed me!"

"Brother Han, how have you been? Didn't you also ambush and kill Brother He?"

"Without the protection of your mech, you won't last long! But I'm different; I have a backup team!"

"Where did you get so many support teams on the sixth floor?! Are you dreaming?"

At that moment, the Longbow mech pilot laughed heartily, "I suppose you've never heard of the Axe Gang!"

The other long-range mech pilots froze in place. "You're the infamous Axe Gang, the ones who specialize in killing mech pilots!"

The longbow mech pilot ripped open his shirt, revealing an axe tattoo. "See that? I'm from the Axe Gang! One arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies come to meet us!"

The Longbow mech pilot suddenly fired a dazzling firework into the sky, which coalesced into the shape of an axe.

The long-lance mech pilot was furious. "Bastards! You bunch of murderous bastards..."

As the axe-shaped fireworks gradually faded, a mech soon fell from the sky.

This is a heavy, all-black warrior mech, standing a full fifteen zhang tall. The mech has a rugged design, especially with a pair of huge horns, giving it a rugged beauty!

Despair filled the face of the long-lance mech pilot, and the icy chill on his cheeks made him imagine the scene of his impending death.

The Longbow mech pilot didn't show any joy; instead, he stared blankly at the massive mech before him. "No, that's not right. The Axe Gang only recruits ranged or assassin mechs. We never recruit support mechs. This is a tank/support mech! This isn't one of our Axe Gang's mechs!"

While the two were confused, the mech that had landed on the ground suddenly charged forward, swinging its huge alloy Xuanbing hammer, leaving a visible black hurricane afterimage, and smashed the BOSS Fallen King Kong into pieces with a single blow.

At that moment, a notification sound appeared on the pagers of all the mech pilots.

"Congratulations to Mech Pilot Niu Er for defeating the sixth-floor boss, Fallen King Kong! You have obtained 5 Superior-grade Mystic Demon Seeds, 2 Rare Materials, and 3 Soul Fragments!"

The long-lance mech pilot hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Niu Er from Jilei Mountain! Big brother, is that you? I'm your fan! Big brother, these guys are from the Axe Gang! They specialize in harming us players! Kill them!"

Even faster, the Longbow mech pilot pulled out a gun from somewhere, pointed it at the Spear mech pilot, and shouted, "I'll kill you!"

"You can try it yourself!"

A deep voice boomed as the Minotaur mech, wielding its siege hammer, stood behind the Longbow mech pilot. "If you dare fire, I'll smash you to death! The Axe Gang—kill them all!"

Upon seeing this, the Longbow mech pilot lowered his kinetic gun, raised his hands high, and said, "Boss, let's talk this out. Our Axe Gang has no grudge against you, there's no need for this!"

On the other side, the long-gun mech pilot hurriedly maneuvered half of his mech to escape, shouting, "Thank you so much for your help, boss! I'll repay your life-saving grace in the future!"

On the BOSS's battlefield, only the Minotaur mech and the Axe Gang's Longbow mech pilot remained. The Longbow mech pilot said with a forced smile, "Boss, others may not know your reputation as Niu Er, but I certainly do!"

"I heard you recently joined the young lady's group!"

"If I'm not mistaken, besides you, the young lady and another young hero from the Sirius clan are also in Brother Niu Er's mech cockpit!"

"Your goal here is the seventh level, right? To be honest, my Axe Gang is also after the seventh level!"

"If everyone works together, I believe we can reach the seventh level!"

"Boss, please let me go, and I'll take you to see the Axe Gang leader. What do you say?"

Inside the Bull Head mech cabin, Niu Er sat in the main seat piloting the mech, while in the ten-square-meter space on the other side, Qin Feng and Tu Shanxue were looking down at the Longbow mech pilots.

Support mechs and combat mechs are quite different. Support mechs emphasize auxiliary functions, such as maintenance and recuperation. Therefore, the cockpit of a support mech is larger and can seat more people.

Combat mechs are different; they require high-intensity combat and can only be operated by one person at most! Many classic mechs don't even have a cockpit, only a transformation space.

Qin Feng surveyed the Axe Gang mech pilots below, his face expressionless, as a mental prompt appeared in his mind.

"Ding! Daily good deed completed! You rescued an innocent civilian mecha pilot, gaining +5 attribute points! Current total attribute points gained: 90! Only 10 more points needed to complete the daily good deed quest!"

"Ding! Notification! There is a fallen mech pilot here. Do you wish to collect him?"

Qin Feng spoke up, "Take me down!"

Niu Er raised his hand, and the bull-headed mecha released a halo of light, sending Qin Feng down.

Qin Feng approached the body of the melee mech pilot, gazing at the energy laser crossbow bolt piercing his heart. He took out a glass of wine, and with a touch of melancholy, collapsed before the corpse. "On this day filled with grief and indignation, we gather with heavy hearts to attend Mr. L's memorial service. Today, we mourn Mr. He, for his life was glorious, diligent, and unpretentious. Hard work, helpfulness, kindness, and selfless dedication… May you rest in peace, and never again encounter traitorous teammates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng poured the wine onto the other person's corpse, only to see the body dissipate into specks of light and vanish.

"Notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Soul of Tenacity and Passion x1!"

At this moment, in a miasma-filled forest, a young man opened his eyes. He looked at everything in front of him in confusion: gray streets, a huge blacksmith shop, and tree-hole houses. Looking further into the distance, green vines entwined the vast forest, and a clear spring could be seen flowing in the distance.

Where am I? Why am I here? Wasn't I killed by that Longbow mech pilot in a sneak attack?

However, all of this looks just like a dream!

Gorgeous!

Just then, a melodious, bell-like girl's laughter rang out, "Hello, adventurer! My name is Celia! Welcome to the continent of Arad!"

A familiar voice rang out, and the boy shivered. Then he saw an elven girl with jade-like skin, wearing a strange but beautiful floor-length dress, and carrying a plate of dark food.

The boy hesitated before asking, "May I ask, is this the world after death?"

The elven girl smiled and said, "Yes! Every kind and compassionate human enters here after death to begin a new life, and you are the seventh adventurer to enter Arad! Here is some food and water; you can rest here. Uncle Lin will summon you in a while!"

The boy paused for a moment, then asked, "Who is Uncle Lin? And where is this place?"

The elven girl smiled and said, "On the continent of Arad, in the Forest of Loran, at the Elven Line, Uncle Lin is the mayor and also a blacksmith! You seem to be very good at close combat, right? Maybe you can ask Uncle for a sword and become a swordsman to protect the peace and tranquility of the town."

As the boy gazed at the girl's bright back and then at the cozy, rustic furniture in the treehouse, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Arad Continent, Loran Forest!"

"What a strange name!"

"That sounds really weird!"

"It's normal for it to be unfamiliar. How could the world after death be the same as the world before? If it were, wouldn't it have been a pointless death?"

"But in any case, my death was a sublimation!"

"I was tricked and killed by despicable people, but I have gained my freedom!"

"Heaven will not fail any resilient and passionate soul!"

"I thought my life had come to an end, but unexpectedly, it's starting anew! Haha, how interesting! Maybe I should give myself a name, a new name that fits the Arad style..."

"Never mind, I'm going to sleep for a while! I'm exhausted..."

The boy was fast asleep; he had no idea that a will had just left this place.

Qin Feng looked at the seventh resilient soul he had acquired, and his heart was filled with immense joy.

After seventeen days of fighting, Qin Feng was basically certain that mech pilots who could achieve 100 perfect ratings generally had souls with high resilience.

If the mecha pilot is passionate and kind, then Qin Feng would not hesitate to take them in even if they die.

Although Qin Feng has no bottom line, it doesn't stop him from appreciating upright people, especially those who are righteous and have a heart for the light.

These people are mostly melee fighters, while ranged mech pilots are mostly evil and cunning.

In terms of soul selection, there are also different levels: fragile, ordinary, advanced, resilient, brilliant, and platinum!

Generally speaking, toughness is already rare, so brilliance and white metal are even more hard to come by.

Of the seven adventurers currently ranked, six are resilient and one is advanced.

Tip: You have sheltered a resilient soul. You have gained 100 ink!

Note: You attended the funeral of a deceased person, who gave you a five-star rating! You gained 500 professional experience points from them! Your Draw Sword Slash has advanced to the mid-level of the Profound Rank! You can now unleash Draw Sword Qi! You are 15800 experience points away from advancing to the Earth Rank of the Sky-Piercing Draw Sword Slash!

Qin Feng glanced at the tips in his diary. At this rate, thirty or forty adventurers could advance to the Void-Piercing Draw Sword Technique, and the rest would have a chance to break through to the Ultimate Technique!

As for whether he can learn the Dragon Slaying Technique, that will probably have to wait until he breaks through to the second realm, the Blood Qi Planet grows larger, and the number of adventurers increases!

Notification: You have received a gift from a believer: 85 Spirit Stones! Abundant supplies, three properties! A valuables storage warehouse. Click to view the password.

Qin Feng glanced at these material possessions and sighed inwardly, "Indeed, the more resilient one's soul, the more wealth one possesses."

It will only take a few breaths to tidy up all of this.

Qin Feng turned back to look at the Axe Gang's Longbow Mech Pilot, the instigator. The Longbow Mech Pilot kept backing away, pleading, "B-Boss, don't kill me! I'll give you anything! Please!"

Qin Feng smiled at the Longbow Mech Pilot, "Why would I want to kill you? We have no grudges against each other, right?"

The Longbow mech pilot hurriedly nodded, "Yes, sir, you're right. We have no grudges against each other. In fact, the Axe Gang greatly admires you, sir. If you were to visit the Axe Gang, you would certainly receive a warm welcome..."

Qin Feng turned and walked towards the Minotaur mecha. "Goodbye, my friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng returned to the Bull Head Mech, which then leaped away and disappeared in an instant.

The Longbow Mech Pilot stared blankly at the departing Minotaur Mech. "He really didn't kill me? That doesn't make sense!"

Inside the cockpit of the Minotaur mecha, Tu Shanxue glanced at Qin Feng and asked, "Why did you release him?"

Qin Feng said, "Would killing him benefit us? It would only offend the Axe Gang and make things much more difficult for us! I won't do something so thankless!"

On the Tushan Snow Trail, someone said, "The Axe Gang is a criminal organization; kill them as soon as possible! I've encountered these scum before; they love to stalk others and pick up scraps, just like the most shameless bedbugs!"

"Young Miss," Qin Feng said, spreading his hands, "we're here to slay monsters, not to uphold justice and travel the world. With your overflowing sense of justice, why don't you consider traveling the world with Master Meng?"

On the snowy path of Tushan, someone asked, "I'd like to go. Would Master Meng accept me?"

Qin Feng didn't continue arguing with her; his father had taught him that he could never win an argument with a woman.

Qin Feng's reason for releasing the Axe Gang members was also very practical. Without these villains like the Axe Gang, where would I find so many daily good deeds tasks, and where would I collect so many kind and resilient adventurer souls!

To me, Qin Feng, these members of the Axe Gang are my helpers in achieving my goals. How could I kill them? I even considered giving them money to do evil!

Niu Er, piloting the mecha, chuckled, "In my opinion, the Great Sage's actions are quite similar to those of Qiongqi, the throne of the Primordial Abyss!"

"It is said that before becoming the throne, the Qiongqi (a mythical creature) loved to punish the good and promote the evil. When there was a fight, it would encourage the wicked to kill the kind. The Great Sage is the same way!"

"If Qiongqi were fortunate enough to see this, he would surely consider the Great Sage a close friend!"

Tu Shanxue snorted, "Your flattery is spot on. Anyone who knows you understands you're a bull demon, but anyone who doesn't would think you're a horse demon!"

Niu Erdao said, "You can't say that. Oxen and horses are one. What horses are good at, oxen are good at too. Miss, you are biased."

"Shut up!" Tu Shanxue said, "You're just a background support character, what right do you have to talk so much! Focus on piloting your mech!"

Niu Er didn't dare to utter a sound and obediently started the mecha.

Qin Feng silently looked at the scenery on both sides, mentally estimating his own consumption. Seven people living on his satellite, each person's blood energy consumption was at least 70 points per day!

If there are 100 people, that's 1000 points of health!

And this is just the blood and energy consumed daily!

If there are combat or other kinds of actions, there will be even more!

I only have 4080 blood energy. If I consume too much blood energy on the blood energy satellite, it will be a loss.

These people must be armed quickly so they can contribute to their own little world, whether it's cultivating land, leveling up by fighting monsters, or compiling art!

They need to be able to support themselves while providing me with attribute points, ink, and blood energy!
