I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Calm Before the Storm

Due to signing the confidentiality Death Contract, Zhou Heyu and the others couldn’t reveal too much to Zuo Qian.

However, it wasn’t hard to tell from the conversation that Lin Yi was definitely not someone who would betray his master.

For this, Zuo Qian felt immensely proud.

”Mr. Zuo, the situation at Jiangcheng Second High School, my two disciples and I have seen it with our own eyes.”

”But we have our difficulties, and I hope, Mr. Zuo, you can understand. You came to me, Zhou Heyu, this time, I assume because the school is having financial issues?”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qian nodded eagerly.

”Mr. Zuo, rest assured, this is not an issue.”

Indeed, for the esteemed Alliance Leader of the Xia Professional Alliance, money certainly wasn’t a problem.

For Jiangcheng Second High School, which was facing difficulties, it was truly a timely solution to their dilemma.

Mr. Zhou waved his hand at the Golden Rhinoceros War God.

”Did you hear that? Due to special circumstances, Lin Yi has caused trouble for the school. He saved your life; can you settle this matter?”

The Golden Rhinoceros War God confidently patted his chest, solemnly assuring:

Teacher, rest assured, in other matters, I cannot say, but when it comes to finances, it is absolutely no problem.

With that, he took out a golden card and handed it to Zuo Qian.

”Mr. Zuo, this is my family’s gold card. I will deposit a billion Xia currency into it each month. This should help Jiangcheng Second High School get through the hard times before Brother Lin Yi returns.”

”I cannot repay Brother Lin Yi’s life-saving grace, so please, Mr. Zuo, do not refuse.”

Being addressed as Mr. Zuo repeatedly immediately thrilled Zuo Qian.

Being called that by the Golden Rhinoceros War God is something to boast about for a lifetime!

A billion each month?!

This was not just helping to overcome difficulties; it also provided funds for expanding Jiangcheng Second High School!

After thinking it over, Zuo Qian declined Golden Rhinoceros’s good intentions.

”Golden Rhinoceros War God, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept rewards for nothing.”

”By the way, Mr. Zhou, before Lin Yi left, he gave me two stones, saying they could be exchanged for money. I would appreciate it if you could take a look.”

Saying this, Zuo Qian took out two Tara Stones from his personal space.

Instantly, the air in the conference room turned silent.

To say that Zuo Qian could clearly feel the three War Gods in front of him staring at the materials in his hand with glowing eyes is not an exaggeration.

This time, it was Zuo Qian’s turn to be dumbfounded. He tentatively asked.

”Respected War Gods, is this thing valuable?”

Valuable is an understatement! In the entire Xia, and even Blue Star, it is a priceless treasure!

”Mr. Zuo, Lin Yi, that kid, is really generous, giving you such a good thing. Occasionally, this material appears at the Blue Star International Auction House, starting at ten billion Xia currency, with selling prices generally over thirty billion Xia currency....”

The Beautiful Country, Washington.

In a certain office within the majestic Pentagon, Lin Yi was sitting with his legs crossed, sipping coffee.

Opposite him was a radiant Bai Di, the person in power in the Beautiful Country.

At this moment, Bai Di was unable to contain his excitement, using both his hands and feet to explain the future blueprint of the Beautiful Country to Lin Yi.

”Mr. Lin Yi, joining our Beautiful Country is definitely a wise choice.”

”In this power-revering nation, you absolutely can become an absolute decision-maker. Soon, there will be only our Beautiful Country left in Blue Star.”

”At that time, the entire Xia will be yours! I can guarantee it.”

Bai Di’s excitement stood in stark contrast to Lin Yi’s calmness.

Lin Yi’s expression remained tranquil.

He showed no interest in all that Bai Di depicted.

Gently swiping the lid of his cup and taking a sip of coffee, Lin Yi spoke in a deep voice.

”Bai Di, these things you talked about, I’m not very interested in. I just want to know, when will you fulfill your promise to provide the remaining fifteen War God corpses?”

”Additionally, I need to meet with Chu Xi.”

This...

Upon hearing this, Bai Di started stammering.

Regarding the War God corpses from previous generations, he indeed had no say.

Because it involved the corpses of the ancestors of the Beautiful Country’s capitalists.

Bai Di himself never imagined that Lin Yi’s execution ability would be so strong, accomplishing what seemed like an impossible task with his sheer power.

”Oh, Mr. Lin Yi, no need to rush about this. Let’s have a cup of....”

Just a sharp glance from Lin Yi, and the cup in front of him shattered into several fragments.

Under extreme Gravity Manipulation, the fragments instantly flew before Bai Di’s eyes.

At this moment, Lin Yi’s eyes were indifferent, releasing an aura of arrogance and contempt for the world without reservation.

He slowly stood up, walked in front of Bai Di, picked up the coveted Poseidon’s Trident, and began to toy with it.

”Bai Di, I’m a person with strong principles.”

”Whatever I promise stays unchanged; one remains one, two remains two, so I hope others fulfill their promises to me likewise.”

”You know, the Pentagon’s defense against me is ineffective. You’re only at the level of Ninth Transformation, and I can kill you with just a flick of my finger.”

”We are both smart people. Neither those above me nor those above you likely consider us humans. Sacrificing our lives for such people isn’t worth it.”

”If you help me get what I want, perhaps one day, you’ll be the one to take over?”

Upon hearing this, fear immediately flashed in Bai Di’s eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, his gaze began to return to normal, then was replaced by a manic look.

The folks above indeed only saw him as a workhorse for dirty tasks.

Regarding his future, those above had never considered it.

To the capitalists behind the scenes, Bai Di was just a puppet to be replaced at any time.

Had it not been for encountering Lin Yi, Bai Di certainly wouldn’t have had any thoughts of overstepping.

But now, with Lin Yi having said this much, how could he not be tempted?

”Mr. Lin Yi, if you truly promise to support me to the top after gaining sufficient power, I, Bai Di, will definitely risk my life to help you achieve your will.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi snorted coldly.

Then he snapped his fingers, turned around gracefully.

The fragments floating in front of Bai Di instantly turned to powder, scattering to the ground.

”Mr. Bai Di, time is limited. Once you’ve fulfilled your promise, we can discuss these matters again.”

”You can feel free to use that Trident.”

Finishing, Lin Yi pushed open the office door and walked out.

After discovering that their elite forces had perished entirely in Atlantis, every country of Blue Star was outraged.

When they attempted to pressure the Beautiful Country through the Blue Star Professional Alliance, they found that all Beautiful Country professionals stationed there had long disappeared.
