"I'll give you a taste of it first, so you can experience it properly before we talk about what happens next."
He slapped the razor to slightly stimulate the drug's effects.
"Ah, ah, hoo, ho, hoo..." Various sounds of pain came from the razor's mouth. He felt as if ten cruel tortures were being performed on him at the same time, making him unable to live or die.
Once the effects of the drug subsided, Song Yi acquired a fresh dog.
"I intend to establish an assassin organization called Yellow Springs, Razor. You are now the first member of Yellow Springs."
"When Huangquan grows stronger and replaces Reincarnation as the strongest assassin organization, as a veteran, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory. Do a good job, I have high hopes for you."
Razor knelt down with a thud, kowtowed to the ground, and said with heartfelt submission: "Razor is willing to die for the Lord!"
"Very good, then go take orders, do more tasks, and promote your identity as a member of the Yellow Springs as much as possible, and make money to support the organization."
"Huh?" Razor was stunned. I'm making money to support the organization?
"What, you expect me to earn money to support you?" Song Yi's face darkened, and his tone turned cold.
Daring Razor, you dare to covet the master's authority and spy on the organization's interests; you are courting death!
Razor immediately knelt down: "No, no, no! What Razor gains is what Huang Quan gains, and what Huang Quan gains is what the Lord gains! Razor will do his utmost to contribute all his strength to the development of the organization and to the progress of the Lord!"
Song Yi nodded, very satisfied.
"Very good. From now on, 90% of the money you earn from completing tasks will be deposited into this account, and you can keep 10% for task completion funds and wages."
"You need to know that compared to the exploitation of employees by most capitalists in the world, I'm already being extremely generous by taking only 90%. You should be grateful."
Razor was so moved that he wept bitterly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I've accumulated some funds from my previous missions, and I'd like to contribute them to the organization. I hope you'll grant my request!"
Since we've already sold ourselves, the money is useless now. Let's just use it to make a good impression on our lord.
Song Yi readily agreed.
Look, you can squeeze oil out of it.
Just after Razor was dismissed, his subordinates suddenly reported that someone had broken into the Mighty Building. This person was monstrous in their nunchaku skills and had already passed through seven checkpoints, with no one able to stop them.
Just as Song Yi was getting interested and was about to make a move, the alarm was lifted, and the intruder collapsed on the electric floor of level 8.
There are still 91 more checkpoints ahead, and you must overcome them all to meet Chen Weiwu.
It's a truly despairing road to heaven.
The intruder was quickly brought in and interrogated. It was learned that he was also a level-four assassin who had come to kill Chen Weiwu, codenamed "The Bachelor".
Hearing this unlucky code name, Song Yi exclaimed that he had never heard anyone call him that before!
This bachelor is exceptionally brave and likely follows the path of unparalleled assassination, never resorting to underhanded tactics; he kills openly and honestly.
Even so, he still managed to survive and become a Level 4 assassin. His strength is still not to be underestimated. His muscles are honed through countless trials and tribulations, making him even stronger than Song Yi. His muscles can hold small-caliber bullets.
Such talent deserves to be used by the Yellow Springs!
Torture, drugging, torture, subjugation, and PUA were all employed to take him away in one fell swoop, instantly doubling the power of the Underworld and gaining two more members.
As negotiations between the Weiwu Group and the Xihuang Group progressed, the person behind the scenes seemed to be becoming more eager to assassinate Chen Weiwu.
Every time Song Yi opened the dark web to check the missions, he could see Chen Weiwu's bounty climbing.
It started at 5000 million Tianlong coins, then rose to 5500 million, 6000 million, 7000 million, and now, just one day later, it's 1 million!
As the bounty increased, the assassins also became increasingly eager.
This type of open mission has no limit on the number of people who can accept it, but the reward will ultimately go to the person who gets the kill.
Whoever kills Chen Weiwu first will receive the 1 million Tianlong coins bounty.
For the vast majority of level four assassins, 1 million Tianlong coins is already a huge sum of money.
Generally speaking, the bounty for a level 4 mission is between 10 million and 50 million Tianlong coins.
However, since mission levels are determined by the Dark Web based on the difficulty of the assassination, while the bounty is provided by the employer, there are sometimes instances where the bounty is significantly higher than the range that should be for the mission level.
The task is what it is; employers are willing to spend a lot of money, and nobody is unwilling to earn more.
Of course, you can only give more, not less, otherwise no one in the underworld will do charity.
One hundred million Tianlong coins is already the reward for a normal level 5 mission.
Many level 4 assassins who complete the upgrade missions never dare to touch the same level missions again, and may never earn this much money in their entire lives.
Driven by greed, they finally abandoned their caution and launched an attack on the Mighty Building.
Of course, there are very few unparalleled assassins like the bachelor Chen Weiwu. No one chooses to confront him head-on anymore. Instead, they all use various methods to try to infiltrate the Weiwu Building, get to the top floor, kill Chen Weiwu silently, and escape safely.
If it were the old security level, Chen Weiwu would have had a near-death experience facing such a high-intensity infiltration.
But now, thanks to Song Yi's professional renovation, the Weiwu Building's security has been enhanced to an epic degree, becoming an insurmountable barrier for many assassins.
The 99 floors represent 99 challenges, each more difficult than the last. Following Razor and Bachelor, 11 more assassins have fallen on their journey.
They were all level four assassins, with at least twenty or thirty lives on their hands. They were powerful figures in the underworld, capable of stopping children from crying at night, yet they all fell beneath the 99 barriers of the Mighty Building. Not one of them even made it to the 20th floor.
Suddenly, the Mighty Building became a den of dragons and tigers, inspiring fear in many assassins.
Having been established for less than a day, Huang Quan's influence has expanded at lightning speed, and it is already a powerful organization with 13 level-four assassins.
On a dark web forum, a post titled "Majestic Ascent to Heaven: 99 Levels" suddenly appeared, and its click count quickly climbed to the top, attracting the attention of many people who were not interested in the matter and clicking on it out of interest.
"The headquarters of the Tianlong Kingdom Lianchangzhou Weiwu Group, the Weiwu Building, has a monstrous level of security. Its 99 layers of security are unparalleled, and many assassins have fallen in battle. It can be called the Heavenly Gate."
"If one can rise up in one day, overcome all obstacles, and pass through 99 levels, one will surely be able to leap over the dragon gate, ascend to the sky, wash away the dross and become a level 7 master, sit and watch the wind and clouds rise and fall and look down on the prosperity of the world."
"Awesome ascent to heaven, 99 barriers, a visible stairway to heaven. Who will be the first to step over them? Stay tuned." — Ascension failed.
The post included a photo of the majestic building towering into the clouds, its imposing presence radiating golden light from its rooftop. The words "威武" (Wei Wu, meaning majestic and powerful) seemed to illuminate the entire earth in gold.
A golden ascension passage, digitally created, rises from the base of the building, passes through the entire building, and enters the sky, inscribed with "Road to Heaven, Step into the Sky," conveying extreme holiness and magnificence.
Song Yi was stunned. Who was this person who failed to ascend and pulled off such a stunt?
The 99 levels of the Mighty Building are likened to a stairway to heaven, with claims that whoever overcomes them will become a rare level seven assassin in the underworld...
It's like putting the Mighty Group on the hot seat, calling on thousands of assassins to participate in the trial and seek a chance to ascend to heaven!
With this approach, Chen Weiwu's fate became irrelevant.
"Fine, fine, you can't pass the level yourself, so you flip the table and make everyone else come at you, huh!"
"Since you've already promoted it like this, I might as well go with the flow and truly make the Mighty Building an impregnable fortress, helping you ascend to the heavens!"
Song Yi swiftly adjusted the configuration, reshaping the entire 99-level defense system with the strength to defend against level seven assassins.
A list worth 20 billion was quickly handed to Su Xiaoqian, which included a wide variety of equipment, materials, permissions, personnel, etc., so dense that it made her explode with a sharp rage.
"The group's net profit isn't even that much in a year. How can I possibly get it approved for you? Bro, you might as well just kill me!"
Indeed, her power in the Weiwu Group was practically absolute, but such a large-scale, costly project that wouldn't generate any cash flow was beyond her ability to manage.
In principle, even if the chairman is approached, a board meeting must be convened and a two-thirds majority vote is required for approval.
After grieving all night, Chen Weiwu finally opened the door, took the list, glanced at it, and immediately signed and approved it.
"Screw the rules, just do it!"
After a night of excruciating pain, Chen Weiwu seemed to have shed his last remaining naivety and innocence, and was now full of vigor.
My third uncle is most likely gone, but it doesn't matter, I have Brother Song again.
The greatest fortune of my life is recognizing this brother. He has gone to great lengths for my safety, so how could I not fully support him?
Soon, everything on the list was in place and Song Yi made all the arrangements.
With the money in place, construction proceeded at lightning speed, and the entire project was completed in just a few hours.
The 99 levels of the Majestic Building have been transformed once again, truly possessing the grandeur of a heavenly gate, displaying immense power and ever-changing scenery.
This is no longer an office building, but a fortress, a defensive line, a position!
The group of heroes observing through binoculars were all taken aback, their hearts pounding with fear, and they hesitated to move forward.
Until someone came along.
Level 5 Assassin - Higurashi!
Chapter 43 If you can't pass the Heavenly Gate, the cicada will never die!
Han Chan, a Level 5 assassin, belongs to the assassin organization "Zero" and is skilled in disguise and infiltration, close combat, jujitsu, and handgun shooting.
This is a terrifying woman who can often kill her targets silently and without them even realizing it, and has created many locked-room murder cases that remain unsolved to this day.
Mission history: Level 1 12 times, Level 2 36 times, Level 3 101 times, Level 4 42 times, Level 5 4 times.
Each mission represents at least one life, meaning she has at least 195 lives on her hands; she is a ruthless killer.
Moreover, unlike those level 5 gatekeepers who never touch the same level again after completing the upgrade, she, as a level 5 assassin, has a record of 4 level 5 missions, which is very glorious and terrifying.
This is a level 5 mid-to-late stage powerhouse. Her arrival undoubtedly gave a powerful boost to the many level 4 assassins who were intimidated.
"Even Han Chan has come. I heard she took on the mission to assassinate the president of the Haidong Society and has been lying low in Switzerland recently. I didn't expect her to come here so quietly. It seems the president of the Haidong Society is already dead."
"It's terrifying. The Haidong Society is one of the six top gangs in Switzerland. The Haidong Society's leader has hundreds of underlings by his side every day, even when he goes to the toilet. It's unbelievable that he could kill them and escape successfully."
"Not only that, I heard that the president of the Haidong Association was also a master. His Shadow Dance God was as fast as lightning. Even if seven or eight strong men with knives surrounded him, they couldn't get close to him. He was as strong as a monster. And yet he still died. Han Chan, he really makes people tremble with fear."
"Han Chan is indeed very strong, but the 99 levels of the Mighty Ascent to Heaven are not to be trifled with. No one has ever made it to the twentieth level before. I wonder how Han Chan will perform and whether he can clear it?"
"..."
Numerous discussions took place in the "Yearning for Ascension" group, with everyone holding high expectations for Hanchan.
After all, previously only level 4 assassins were clearing the levels, but now that they've been replaced by powerful level 5 assassins, the situation should be quite different, right?
Unbeknownst to everyone, Han Chan had already successfully infiltrated the heavily guarded Weiwu Building.
Looking at everything in the building, Han Chan smiled slightly, took a picture of the first floor with her phone, sent it to the group chat, and quickly typed something.
"A bunch of insects. You're stumped by the security of a mere state-level corporation? You're a disgrace to the world of assassination."
"Watch me do it now, and you'll learn something new."
The group of Level 4 assassins fell silent, put down their phones, picked up binoculars, and searched for Han Chan's figure through the glass curtain wall.
