Chapter 523: 334, Qing’s Family Time Traveler
Countdown 144:00:00.
Midnight, 12 o’clock.
Neatly lined up in front of the Daybreak Villa were rows of electric bikes, Yadea, Xiao Niu, all brands present.
Qing Chen had considered other modes of transportation, such as motorcycles.
But motorcycles require a driver’s license, and Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen had obtained their C1 driver’s licenses early through improper means via their families, but it was not like Qing Chen and the others were willing to go as far as to ask Hu Dacheng to do such a trivial favor.
If Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen were stopped by traffic police while riding motorcycles, it would be more than just a thirty-minute verbal lecture.
Luo Wanya was very efficient, completing the tasks that Qing Chen had assigned in the afternoon by evening.
And most crucially, this local serpent with thirty years of experience had fully grasped Qing Chen’s intentions.
All the electric bikes he had purchased were second-hand, none brand new.
Moreover, all of them were of different models.
Interested, Qing Chen asked, “Why did you buy all second-hand? It would be normal for you to buy the highest standard according to your personality. I wouldn’t be surprised even if you drove a fleet of Teslas here.”
Luo Wanya replied with an embarrassed smile, “Buying second-hand doesn’t attract too much attention for being too new, and choosing different models is to facilitate your operations so that people won’t remember the specific models of the electric bikes. Being too uniform could easily give us away.”
Too many people mechanically execute a task when instructed by their leader, never considering the leader’s reasons for assigning that task.
But Luo Wanya was different; he had his own thoughts.
Daybreak already owned two luxury cars worth two million each, so why would they need electric bikes? Surely they wanted to keep a low profile.
So, under the premise of ensuring the performance of the electric bikes, Luo Wanya chose the ones that were the most discreet.
He said to Qing Chen, “Don’t judge by the old shells, but the parts inside, including the batteries, have all been replaced with new ones.”
Qing Chen nodded, “Lao Luo, your thirty years in the jianghu were not in vain. The boss said just yesterday that Daybreak needs talents like you.”
Luo Wanya was ecstatic inside. The shift from General Luo to Lao Luo, along with the olive branch the boss had proactively offered, all indicated that his recent hard work had not been in vain.
He said excitedly, “If you say so, then all I have done is worthwhile.”
Qing Chen could not distinguish whether the sly fox’s words were true or just skilled deceit.
After so many years in the jianghu, the other party’s acting skill had reached perfection.
However, Qing Chen didn’t need to differentiate between truth and lies; there is no such thing as unprovoked loyalty in this world. He just needed Luo Wanya to be willing to work.
After some thought, he said, “Bring the twelve subordinates of the Time Traveler over to the courtyard, and come along yourself.”
Luo Wanya was puzzled. What did that mean?
Still, he did as told.
Shortly after, the twelve of them were sitting earnestly in the Sunlight Room in the courtyard.
The Sunlight Room was thirty square meters in size, completely made of glass, probably a place where the original owner entertained and sipped tea.
Now, Qing Chen had Luo Wanya and the others throw away all the tables, chairs, tea sets, and tea boards in the Sunlight Room, leaving it completely empty.
Luo Wanya felt it was a pity, “Why throw away everything here? It would be nice to drink tea and relax when you’re free.”
Qing Chen glanced at him, “We haven’t reached the point of strength where we can afford to sit back and enjoy tea.”
Luo Wanya’s expression turned serious, “Understood.”
“Go on, sit down on the ground too,” Qing Chen then squeezed the wrist of one of Luo Wanya’s subordinates, inducing a deep, meditative state.
Luo Wanya was stunned. So this was to impart cultivation techniques, no wonder it was so solemn!
Zhang Tianzhen glanced at him and said, “You guys are getting a good deal. This is the method of cultivation, which will allow you to stand in the Inner World.”
He then seriously assumed the role of the enforcer, “But remember, this is not given for nothing. If there is betrayal against the organization, we’ll naturally take care of it.”
Luo Wanya promptly assured, “Don’t worry, that will never happen!”
Qing Chen brought all thirteen people in front of him into deep meditation. At that moment, Nan Gengchen stepped in front of Luo Wanya and, as if testing, placed his palm on the top of Luo Wanya’s head.
Immediately, Nan Gengchen turned to Qing Chen, “Brother Chen, after completing the Grand Circulation, it seems I can also perform Empowerment on others.”
Surprised, Qing Chen said, “Keep trying, see if you can help Luo Wanya illuminate his first node.”
“Alright,” Nan Gengchen placed his palm again on Luo Wanya’s crown chakra.
As Zhunti True Qi continuously flowed from him, Luo Wanya opened his eyes, “My first node has been illuminated!”
Amazed, Qing Chen turned to Nan Gengchen, “How many nodes can your Zhunti True Qi illuminate at once for him?”
“Two,” Nan Gengchen assessed.
“Good, use up all your Zhunti True Qi at once, and see how long it takes to recover,” Qing Chen instructed.
He suddenly realized that this Zhunti technique was practically a divine artifact for swiftly elevating the ‘group level.’ It reminded him of the principle of ‘from one, two are born; from two, three; and from three, all things are created.’
He could use Knight Vital Energy to quickly advance the cultivation levels of Nan Gengchen, Zhang Tianzhen, and Li Tongyun. And once these three completed the Grand Circulation, they could help him with the pressure of subsequent expansions.
Although initial progress was slow, if the number of those who completed the Grand Circulation increased, then Daybreak could mass-produce E-Class cultivators.
Although E-Class wasn’t high, the threshold for intelligence officers in large organizations was just E-Class, with core members considering promotion to D-Class or higher, and only the most central figures were allowed to complete a full set of Genetic Potion.
