Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

When she finished speaking, she had a look of relief on her face that Cheng Yuan had never seen before.

Lin Zexian walked over from the side, his expression much more solemn than before.

He first looked at the Weaver Girl Beast, then at Cheng Yuan, and said in a low voice, "This matter is of great significance. I need to report to General Rabbit and General Ji Chang, and it may also involve higher levels of the association. You should settle her in first and make sure she doesn't leave the territory of Honesty City."

Cheng Yuan nodded: "Understood."

Lin Zexian didn't say anything more, turned around and quickly left the beach. He was almost running, which showed how important this matter was to him.

Without Lin Zexian as his "guide," Cheng Yuan had to take care of the Weaver Girl beast himself.

Honesty City has plenty of places to live, but to be honest, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stay in a military camp or a guesthouse.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yuan decided to take her directly back to the Qilin Group's headquarters in Chengshi City.

Cheng Yuan arranged for the Weaver Girl to be in a room on the third floor of the Qilin Guild, near the window. The window faced east and could see the outer walls of Honest City and the gray-white wasteland in the distance.

Zhao Lu has already received the news and is on her way.

She was holding a tablet when she entered the room. She paused for a moment when she saw Vega, then quickly resumed her CEO expression.

She only showed her little girl demeanor in front of Cheng Yuan; in front of others, she exuded the aura of a CEO.

"Is this the Spider Princess from the Spider Tower?"

“It’s the Weaver Girl now,” Cheng Yuan said.

Zhao Lu looked Vegamon up and down, examining its butterfly wings, antennae, and knitting needles, and nodded: "It's really beautiful. It's one of the most beautiful humanoid Digimon."

The Weaver Girl was a little flustered by her blunt evaluation, but she still nodded politely.

A while later, Zhou Mo also arrived. She came directly from the experimental base of Data Ark, looking travel-worn and still wearing her white coat.

Zhou Mo showed great interest in the background of the Weaver Girl's race, and spent nearly half an hour asking her about the history of the Spider Tower and the origin of the Aquila.

The Weaver Beast couldn't explain many details clearly, since all she knew were fragments passed down orally from the previous lord. However, Zhou Mo still managed to piece together some outlines from her words.

“The Western invaders implanted dark data into the Digicores of your race,” Zhou Mo pushed up his glasses. “Their aim was to transform the original humanoid Digimon into monster-type Digimon, using them as tools of war. And the Arkemon in the Spider Tower was just one of them. I suspect that those towering dark towers in the Digital World are likely seals and curses placed upon the Eastern Digimon race back then. The Western invaders were far too cruel and tyrannical!”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Cheng Yuan: "However, the technology you brought back, the Sacred Purification Crystal Device, if it can be mass-produced, can help the Digital World peel away the darkness and restore the original forms of the distorted Digimon. And more importantly, this purification process requires a massive amount of computing power."

Zhao Lu chimed in from the side: "Computing power happens to be our strength."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "You, as soon as you hear about computing power, you start thinking about money."

Zhao Lu stuck out her tongue.

"Speaking of chips, Cai Yongying's Loongson Group and the Kirin chip we customized in cooperation have also entered the trial stage. It has barely reached the full-level computing power. Although it is not as good as the top chips in Yangon, it has the advantage of stable quality and large quantity."

Cheng Yuan said, "It's okay. If we can't keep up with the high-end, we'll make up for it with quantity. As technology iterates, Dongda's technology will definitely catch up."

This reminded Cheng Yuan, who couldn't help but ask, "When is the next dividend distribution?"

Zhao Lu glanced at him: "Several projects of the Qilin Group have been burning through money recently: Genesis Village Cluster, Nantianmen Project, Data Ark Construction, and Qilin Legion Expansion. They are all money-devouring beasts."

While the profits from armored vehicles are stable, the numerous expenses make it difficult to keep up. Fortunately, the computing power leasing business has started to recover, but we'll have to wait another quarter for dividends.

"Is the financial pressure really that great?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"It's not a big deal, but it's not exactly spacious either," Zhao Lu said. "It's a phase of robbing Peter to pay Paul, but things will get better after these few months. If you're short on cash, you can use mine first?"

“I’m not short of cash,” Cheng Yuan said. “On the contrary, if the group’s funds are tight, I have tens of millions of yuan in cash that I can inject. You can arrange it as you see fit. Also, the future of the Digital World environment transformation is limitless, and it is of great significance to the development of the Digital World. This project should also be followed up.”

What Cheng Yuan lacks is not cash, but wealth equivalent to his cash income.

Moreover, there's still a huge sum of money that hasn't been recovered in Yangon! Cheng Yuan wouldn't forget that Yangon is probably working overtime to produce computing chips.

Zhao Lu nodded and didn't stand on ceremony with him.

Although there are no dividends for the time being and his wealth cannot rely on the Qilin Group for the time being, Cheng Yuan is very confident in the future of the Qilin Group.

For the time being, we can only rely on jungling.

Cheng Yuan took out the living space device. "You should dispose of this batch of Phantom Bee Beasts as soon as possible. Zhou Mo, contact the National Digital Technology Research Institute. Phantom Bee Beasts are rare creatures that come with X-virus and antibody properties, and they are produced in large quantities, which is exactly what they need. It will also help advance the project of artificially cultivating X antibodies, so we should be able to get a good price for them."

Zhou Mo's eyes lit up: "How did you do that! The research progress on the X virus and antibodies at the research institute has been stuck because they lack stable live samples. You went out and caught hundreds of them in one trip. If the National Research Institute takes them all... it's worth at least 2000 million! No wonder they say being a digital hunter is lucrative!"

Cheng Yuanhan, which digital hunter can operate like him?

“Remember to leave a batch for us to study ourselves,” Cheng Yuan said. “Their modification characteristics and evolutionary chain will be of reference value for the carrier-based aircraft group of the Nantianmen Project. In the future, the Qilin Group’s air power cannot rely entirely on ready-made Digimon.”

Zhou Mo waved to indicate that she had received the message, then picked up the living space device and left, walking with a brisk pace, the hem of her white coat billowing high.

Vega sat in a chair by the window, watching the group of humans complete a discussion on asset allocation and research direction within minutes, her expression somewhat complicated.

The "decision-making" she had seen among the older women in the Spider Tower before was either a quarrel among the women or direct physical violence.

This was the first time she had ever seen a group of people sit down and decide on a course of action in just a few words.

That night, the Weaver Girl slept in a room at the Qilin Group.

The next morning, Cheng Yuan was awakened by his communicator. It was a message from Lin Zexian: the Rabbit God General and the Rooster God General had arrived in Honest City.

Accompanying them was the guardian beast of the Eastern Kingdom—the Vermilion Bird.

When Cheng Yuan arrived at the beach behind Honest City, he could see them standing on the edge of the newly grown grass from afar.

Li Xiaochun was still wearing that horse-face skirt, standing at the very front, looking down at the grass at her feet, her finger lightly touching a blade of grass, showing great concern for the environmental improvement project.

Ji Chang stood beside her, his hands behind his back, as if he were waiting for someone.

Not far to the west of Honesty City stood a giant bird covered in crimson feathers.

Four crimson sacred stones encircled its neck, slowly rotating in the dim light of the day.

As Cheng Yuan approached, the Vermilion Bird spoke first.

"Hey kid, we meet again."

The Vermilion Bird's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong "old lady" tone, like a shrewish woman.

Cheng Yuan quickly greeted him: "Lord Vermilion Bird Beast, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time since we last met. I've been incredibly busy." Suzaku turned its head and looked at him with one eye. "I just finished a fight with some bastards from the Dark Zone and was thinking of taking a few days off. But Xiaochun dragged me here to work overtime."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaochun didn't even turn his head, but simply said, "You're just sleeping anyway on your vacation, so there's not much difference if you sleep somewhere else in Honest City."

The Vermilion Bird spewed out a small ball of sparks but did not refute.

Zhu Zhu had said that when she wasn't around, they had to listen to Xiao Chun, and it tolerated it.

Li Xiaochun turned around.

She glanced at Cheng Yuan first, then her gaze fell on the Weaver Girl beside him. After looking her over, she said, "Is she the Weaver Girl?"

Cheng Yuan nodded: "Mm."

"Come with me for a moment," Li Xiaochun said. "Want to talk to you alone for a bit?"

The Weaver Girl hesitated for a moment and glanced at Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan nodded to her, and she followed Li Xiaochun to the shattered sacred purification crystal by the sea.

The two stood there for about ten minutes, during which Li Xiaochun spoke more and the Weaver Girl spoke less.

Occasionally, you can see the wings of the Vega beast tremble slightly, I don't know if it's from nervousness or something else.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Chang walked over to Cheng Yuan and patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, you're always causing trouble wherever you go. You just wrecked the Dragon Crystal Palace, and after only a few days back, you've already stirred up such a huge mess in the Digital World. Even the Ultimate-level beings have been alerted."

Cheng Yuan smiled wryly: "I didn't want to either. I was just going to hunt Phantom Bee Beasts, but I ended up rescuing a Spider Princess, bringing her back to Honesty City, showing her the environmental modification pilot project, and even helping her strip away the dark data of the Arkeli Beast."

Ji Chang looked at his "I really didn't mean it" expression and shook his head with a smile. He naturally knew how much of that "on the way" was exaggerated, but he didn't point it out.

“Honest City had been planning something big all along,” Ji Chang said. “What you’ve done this time has just given us an opportunity.”

"What big move?"

“Tokyo University has been defending itself for too long.” Ji Chang lowered his hand and looked at the gray wasteland in the distance. “It’s time to draw our swords against the Dark Tower. Not all Dark Towers are hostile to humans. Some towers and the Digimon within them have simply lost their way under the influence of dark power. Vegamon’s clan is one such example.”

Cheng Yuan looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

“We need to unite the forces that can be united to fight against those truly irreconcilable goals,” Ji Chang said. “The Spider Tower is a breakthrough point. If we can destroy the Spider Tower and save the Vegamon race, we will not only liberate a dark tower, but also tear a hole in the human power map of the Digital World.”

At this moment, Li Xiaochun and Vega returned. Vega's eyes were a little red, but her expression was calm, as if she had processed a lot of information in a very short time.

"Cheng Yuan".

"Yes, Sister Xiaochun."

Li Xiaochun walked up to Cheng Yuan, his tone calm but serious: "Cheng Yuan, on behalf of the Dongda Beast Tamer Association, I promised the Weaver Beast to destroy the Spider Tower, annihilate the Parasitic Beast, and help her redeem Spider City and her people."

"You'll be leading this mission, are you willing to accept?" Li Xiaochun said, his eyes drifting to the Weaver Girl Beast, "It only trusts you."

Cheng Yuan: "!!!"

Cheng Yuan opened his mouth, then closed it again. He glanced at the Vermilion Bird Beast yawning beside him and tentatively asked, "Sister Xiaochun, it's not that I'm afraid of dying, but Parasite Beasts are Ultimate-level beings after all. What do you think of Lord Vermilion Bird Beast…"

“You’ve misunderstood,” Li Xiaochun said. “The Vermilion Bird Beast is here to guard Honesty City, to prevent the city from being left vulnerable and allowing the Sea Heart Tower to take advantage of the situation.”

Cheng Yuan's face fell.

"Then what should we do?" Cheng Yuan said. "You're not going to make me take my Perfect form to fight an Ultimate form, are you?"

Li Xiaochun smiled.

"Don't you still have the Monkey King?"

Cheng Yuan gave him a look that said, "So you were planning to take advantage of it." He continued, "The Monkey King can only evolve temporarily. It's a one-trick pony. It will regress after it uses its ultimate move. It's good for bluffing, but it's no good for a long battle."

Li Xiaochun remained calm: "Originally, I planned to give you the reward for your achievements in the dark zone of Yangon after this mission. It seems you don't want it anymore?"

Cheng Yuan immediately changed his expression: "I want it, of course I want it. But fighting the ultimate form..."

“Ji Chang and I will be going into battle together.” Li Xiaochun interrupted him. “On the parasitic beast side, there will be me and the Jade Rabbit Beast. This operation should not involve too many people; we should select the most elite and keep the entire operation a secret.”

Cheng Yuan didn't respond. He was processing the phrase "me and the Jade Rabbit Beast".

He knew about Li Xiaochun's partner, the Moon Rabbit Beast, which was a high-level Ultimate-level beast.

But what would make Rabbit God General dare to lead them to a head-on confrontation with an Ultimate level being is probably not just the Perfect level.

He glanced at Li Xiaochun, who put a finger to his lips as a shushing gesture.

“Thanks to your discovery of the digital spirit,” she said. “...As for how to persuade the other Spider Queens, that’s up to you.”

She gestured with her chin towards the distance: "You also have an old acquaintance here. I borrowed him from General Chenlong."

Chapter 647 Overthrow the Parasite!

Cheng Yuan followed her gaze and saw three figures approaching from the other side of the beach.

Leading the way was a suit of silver-gray armor, with blade-shaped armor embedded in the arm and leg armor, and the tail blade curving slightly upwards behind, reflecting a red blade light.

【Hackmon the Savior】

Two nun-like beasts followed behind it, one blue and one black.

Black Sistermon tilted her head, examining the walls of Honesty City, while Blue Sistermon walked quietly beside her.

Behind the savior Hakumon, there was someone else who surprised Cheng Yuan.

Lin Tianyu.

He was wearing a dark gray combat uniform and looked a bit thinner than during the national league, but his eyes were much more composed than before.

When he saw Cheng Yuan, he paused for a moment, then quickly walked over and extended his hand.

"Long time no see, Cheng Yuan."

Cheng Yuan grasped his hand: "It really has been a long time since we last met."

Lin Tianyu released his grip, took a half step back, and looked at him: "I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The reason Hackmon left me after that battle was because I took the wrong path."

Cheng Yuan listened to him quietly.

“I went astray. I only thought about cutting off the connection, about winning, about proving that I was stronger than anyone else. Wrong is wrong. This time I mustered up the courage to come to my savior Hakumon to make up for my past mistakes.”

Black Sistermon chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Tianyu is a really good tamer. Except for not being able to transform into a Digimon, he's no less capable than you."

The black nun beast still harbors resentment towards Cheng Yuan for "stealing" its sister.

Blue Sistermon tugged at Black Sistermon, telling it to shut up.

Lin Tianyu continued, "Cheng Yuan, thank you for that battle. It woke me up. After I figured it out, I felt like I was reborn."

He looked at Savior Hackmon, "I am willing to walk this path of salvation with Savior Hackmon, to help Savior Hackmon, and to save Digimon from danger."
