Chapter 477: Building a Relationship with Lin Qi
Chapter 477: Building a Relationship with Lin Qi (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Lin Qi glanced at his parents. From his perception, their vital energy had grown significantly stronger recently.
Over these past few months, they'd grown even stronger. Now that their circumstances had improved and they could afford resources, their physical constitutions had become more robust.
"Dad, how have the businesses been lately?" Lin Qi suddenly asked.
Lin Zhen's expression flickered briefly before he smiled normally. "Business has been smooth. Everyone knows you're my son and shows me respect. You don't need to worry about business matters."
Lin Qi sensed his father wasn't being entirely truthful but said nothing. Instead, he continued, "Dad, if anyone tries to bully you because of their status, tell me immediately. Don't worry about causing trouble!"
Lin Qi knew that although he was now an Sss-Rank Genius—among the highest ranks in the Xia Kingdom—there were still many who wouldn't fear his status. Some Sss-Rank Geniuses or even families of Nine Realms Experts might not be intimidated. After all, he was only an Sss-Rank Genius, not yet a Nine Realms Expert himself.
After a brief catch-up, Lin Qi carried his luggage into the martial arts training hall. Returning from the Otherworld to the Blue Planet, he felt his body unusually light, as if walking on springs. He could sense his ability to explode into greater speed had increased.
"Dad must be in trouble!" Lin Qi thought, recalling his parents' fleeting expressions earlier. As an Sss-Rank Genius, his problems wouldn't be simple. He decided to ask his uncle Fang Zhe tomorrow. If the issue proved unsolvable, he'd have to seek help from his master's master, Mountain and River King. "Connections exist to be used. I won't consider it burdensome."
"Xiaochan, activate Crimson Heaven Residence!" he ordered as he got to work.
"Understood, Master!" The orb transformed into a black-haired girl, complete with a battle suit. She lifted her hand, projecting a green screen.
Lin Qi logged into Crimson Heaven Residence and began searching. With countless Disaster Beast blood meats about to be transferred to his account, he needed to repurchase Blood Flesh Harmonizers since he'd finished his last batch. He also needed more soul water. During this month-long summer break, he planned to advance his cultivation further.
【Fingerprint authentication successful!】
【Payment successful!】
【Lin Qi, your order of 5 Soul Waters and 10 Blood Flesh Harmonizers will be delivered tomorrow!】
Looking at the 350 million Xia Kingdom Currency he'd just spent, Lin Qi exhaled. Thank goodness for his monthly subsidies and rewards—otherwise, maintaining this cultivation rate would be impossible. Then he resumed his training.
In the living room, the burly Lin Zhen sipped his tea. "Why didn't you tell Xiaochi about the situation?" Fang Huiyi asked, puzzled.
Lin Zhen waved his hand. "No need to trouble Xiaochi with this minor issue."
Fang Huiyi pressed, "But the Xu Corporation problem isn't minor! They're selling spoiled meat at premium prices. Old Guo arranged negotiations with their manager, but they kept delaying and stood us up!"
Lin Zhen shook his head. "The Xu Corporation is a Xia Kingdom giant. Xiaochi just became an Sss-Rank Genius—no need to bother him over this triviality. Interrupting his training might even draw the Xu Corporation's retaliation. Better to keep him out of this vortex and let him focus on cultivation."
Fang Huiyi sighed. They were just ordinary people after all. Without Lin Qi's prestige, they wouldn't have even entered this industry. Earning a decent profit was enough—demanding more would become greed.
"Boom!" In Tianhai City, a crimson Falcon Fighter descended slowly onto Cloudtop World residential complex, one of the city's most prestigious communities reserved for the wealthiest.
"Boss, our plan is to rest today and visit the company tomorrow", the pilot explained. The young man in custom black suit waved him off. "No rush. First, schedule a meeting with Lin Qi. I heard from Xiao Qin that he's also an Sss-Rank Genius. Our top priority in Tianhai City is building a relationship with this genius."
He adjusted his glasses. "Plus, his family deals in Disaster Beast sales. Our Xu Corporation already handles marine Disaster Beast processing and sales across Tianhai City and Cang Province. Potential cooperation exists."
The bespectacled secretary nodded. "Boss, the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion recently developed a new Train Marrow Elixir based on Marrow-Washing Elixir technology. However, it requires massive quantities of marine Disaster Beast organs and blood meats. This trip aims to expand our marine Disaster Beast market—this will be a lucrative blue ocean."
The man nodded. He was Xu Changfeng, Xu Qin's second elder brother. Though gifted with abundant resources since childhood, he was the weakest martial arts talent among his siblings and lacked notable combat innate talent. After university, he chose commerce over the battlefield, joining the family enterprise. Many relatives made similar choices. Now in Tianhai City, his mission centered on the Train Marrow Elixirs—set to become a highly profitable project. Lin Qi, Tianhai City's first Sss-Rank Genius and Cang Province's third, would eventually dominate the city. Building early relationships was crucial.
The next morning, after finishing his cultivation, Lin Qi found his parents already left for work. He received a delivery at the villa gate, then his phone buzzed as Xiaochan projected Xu Qin's message onto the screen. She mentioned her second elder brother had arrived in Tianhai City for business and might settle here long-term. She hoped to arrange a dinner introduction.
Lin Qi agreed after brief consideration. At the celebration banquet, Senior Xu Qin had gifted him Disaster Beast blood and shared much valuable knowledge. Getting to know her elder brother seemed worthwhile.
"Beep!" Xu Qin quickly sent a digital business card. Lin Qi added her on Weixun immediately.
