150: Zero Yuan Purchase Plan
Su Jue slept very deeply this time.
He had a very long dream.
In the dream, he returned once more to that dark and gloomy Demon Dragon Star Domain.
His massive adoptive father, Dragon Emperor Ao Yuan, was clumsily holding a burning star, attempting to roast a Starry Sky Behemoth for his dinner.
As it turned out, he accidentally turned the heat up too high and roasted the giant beast into charcoal.
Ao Yuan stared at the pitch-black 'charcoal' and fell into deep thought.
Then, he tossed the star away like trash and grabbed an even larger, brighter one... At the end of the dream, his cold and aloof mother, Elizabeth, appeared.
She gave Ao Yuan a look of disdain, then extended her dragon claw, using the Law of Time to restore the charred giant beast to its state before it was roasted.
Su Jue just watched them, one responsible for 'destroying the heavens and earth' and the other for 'resetting the world,' his heart completely unruffled, even finding it a bit funny.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Su Jue slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was no longer the familiar starry sky, but a dilapidated ceiling.
"You're awake?"
A lazy voice drifted over from the side.
Su Jue turned his head and saw Capybara lying on the table, with dozens of virtual light screens floating in front of it, flickering with dense streams of Data.
Its small eyes were bloodshot, making it look like a programmer who had pulled several all-nighters.
"How long was I asleep?"
Su Jue sat up and stretched.
He felt his entire body overflowing with power, as if he could punch right through the planet.
The energy from the star dao fruit had been completely digested and absorbed by his Advanced Chaos Dragon Body.
"Not long, just a day and a night."
Capybara yawned, swiped its claw in the air, and closed all the light screens.
"Boss, while you were sleeping, the world outside has turned upside down."
It briefly and concisely reported the intelligence it had gathered to Su Jue.
City-wide martial law, a three-hundred-million reward, an inescapable dragnet... After Su Jue finished listening, his face remained expressionless.
"Oh."
He merely gave a faint response.
It was as if none of this had anything to do with him.
This indifferent attitude made Capybara's lip twitch.
As expected of you, Boss!
Remaining calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse before you!
"So, what's your plan?"
Su Jue asked.
"Ahem!"
Capybara cleared its throat, its spirit suddenly lifting.
It jumped off the table, walked in front of Su Jue, and swiped its claw in the air. A massive 3D holographic map appeared in the center of the room.
At the center of the map was the towering Li Group headquarters skyscraper!
"Boss, please look!"
Capybara acted like a general giving a military briefing, its claw pointing at the map.
"Based on my night of analysis and calculation, we have been completely locked down by the Li family. The entire Star River City is a giant cage for us!"
"Any attempt to flee will be exposed under the surveillance of the 'Heavenly Eye' system!"
"Therefore, I have formulated a 'Hidden in Plain Sight' plan!"
The light of wisdom flickered in its small eyes.
"Since we can't hide, we won't hide!"
"We'll do the opposite and infiltrate their most heavily guarded and unexpected location—the Li Group headquarters!"
"I've discovered that the Li family is currently fighting with the Chen Family for dominance over a project called 'Cinder-Flame'. The core Data for this project is stored on the top floor of the headquarters building!"
"We can take advantage of the fact that they're focusing all their attention on searching for us to quietly slip in and steal this Data!"
"Firstly, it can disrupt the Li family's deployment and throw them into chaos."
"Secondly, we can use this Data as a bargaining chip to sell to the Chen Family, letting them fight the Li family like dogs!"
"Most importantly, the top floor of the headquarters building has an independent signal source that blocks the 'Heavenly Eye' system. As long as we get in, it's equivalent to temporarily disappearing from this world!"
"It's literally killing three birds with one stone! Perfect!"
Capybara grew more excited as it spoke, as if it could already see the scene of the Li family in total disarray after the plan succeeded.
It looked at Su Jue with a face full of expectation, waiting for its boss's praise.
Su Jue, however, fell silent after listening.
He rubbed his chin, seemingly seriously considering the feasibility of this plan.
Capybara's heart rose to its throat.
After a long while.
Su Jue finally spoke.
"The plan is not bad."
Capybara immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appearing on its face.
"But..."
Su Jue changed his tone.
"It's too much trouble."
Capybara's smile froze on its face.
"Trou... trouble?"
"Yes."
Su Jue nodded.
"Infiltrating, stealing things, selling to others... it's so tiring."
"And,"
Su Jue pointed at the fortress-like building on the map and said in a childish voice:
"Something this big... it should be pretty satisfying to dismantle, right?"
"???"
Capybara's CPU was smoking.
Dismantle... dismantle it?!
Boss, that's the Li Group's headquarters building!
It's one of the economic lifelines of the entire Lihuo Star No. 3!
Its defense level is comparable to an interstellar fortress! There's even a King Realm Expert stationed inside!
You're telling me... you want to dismantle it?!
"Boss, you... you're not joking, are you?"
Capybara's voice was trembling.
"I never joke."
Su Jue grinned, revealing two rows of pearly white baby teeth.
"I've decided."
"The next target is that."
He extended a finger and tapped the center of the map.
"We're not going to steal anything."
"We are going to move the entire building away."
Capybara looked at Su Jue's excited expression, its mouth twitching wildly.
Infiltration plan?
This is clearly a demolition plan!
And a violent demolition at that!
"Boss, please reconsider!"
Capybara was about to cry. "That's a place with a King Realm Expert! If we just charge in like that, how is it any different from seeking death!"
Su Jue glanced at it.
"Who said I'm charging in head-on?"
He stood up and stretched his limbs.
After digesting the star dao fruit, he felt his own strength had improved significantly.
He pulled up his system panel.
[Name: Su Jue]
[Race: Human (Advanced Chaos Dragon Body 15%) (Intermediate Datafied Dragon Body 55%)]
[Realm: Domain Transformation Realm Level 6]
[Cultivation Method: Heart Canon (Entry 1.8%)]
[Law: Chaos Unity (1.5%)]
[energy points: 3,188,670,000]
[Divine Abilities: ... (Collapsed)]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: Congratulations! On the path of being a 'Daddy's Boy', you have gradually begun to learn to think independently. But remember, if you can't win, call your dad; it's not embarrassing.]
Seeing the system's final evaluation, several black lines appeared on Su Jue's forehead.
This crappy system was really getting more and more cheeky.
However... Domain Transformation Realm Level 6!
Just by sleeping, he had broken through from the peak of Level 5 to Level 6!
The progress of his Advanced Chaos Dragon Body had also increased by 14%!
This star dao fruit was indeed a great tonic!
Feeling the surging power within his body, Su Jue's self-confidence swelled like never before.
King Realm?
It's not like I can't test my strength against one!
