10: Chapter 10: Mutual Schemes, A Premonition of Impending Crisis!
The Rich Young Master hung up the phone, tossed it casually onto the sofa, and pulled the beauty beside him into his arms in an excellent mood.
Looking closely, the name saved in the phone for that call was — "The Wang Family's Donkey"!
"Young Master, after you get the item, do you really intend to ask the Old Master to reward him?"
The beauty asked The Rich Young Master with a soft, sweet, and nasal voice, full of doubt.
"Reward him? Reward him for what?"
The Rich Young Master's face was filled with disdain: "Does a donkey need a reward for running errands for its master?"
"Besides, let's see if he can even survive the Yao family's hurdle first!"
The beauty was puzzled: "Didn't you say you were going to get him an 'Iron Certificate of Merit'?"
"Heh, the younger generation of the Yao family only has that girl Yao Muxue. For the sake of the monk, one must respect the temple; if we take out their son-in-law, someone naturally has to be the scapegoat!"
The Rich Young Master had the air of someone in full control, laughing wantonly:
"If my Wang Family's Donkey doesn't carry the burden, does it mean I, the master, have to?"
"Haha, thinking about the divine object being in my hands soon, my body is so excited!"
"Come, little beauty, we must fight three hundred rounds today to celebrate!"
"Young Master, it's still daytime... Ying~"
"What does day or night matter? This is my castle; does anyone dare to barge in?!"
"Ying ying~ Young Master, be gentle..."
...
...
Guangnan Province.
In a picturesque manor on the outskirts.
A sturdy man threw his phone away in a fit of rage, gritting his teeth as he cursed:
"This guy clearly has bad intentions; he wants to make me the scapegoat!"
"Who doesn't know that their main family has a grudge against the Yao family? At a time like this, taking out their son-in-law is just asking for death and handing someone a knife!"
Before him, his slightly younger-looking brother, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was also filled with indignation:
"Brother, we've done so much dirty work for him over the years; why don't we just expose it all!"
"At worst, we go down together!"
"Sigh, it's not that easy!"
The sturdy man shook his head and sighed: "With the Wang family's sky-covering power, even if there were dirty secrets leaked, they could suppress them very quickly."
"Brother, then what do we do? Do you really intend to be the scapegoat?!"
"Little brother, don't be anxious, listen to your brother's arrangements!"
A flash of ruthlessness appeared in the sturdy man's eyes as he said: "You immediately use the secret line to send our parents abroad!"
"After I get the item here, we will leave together!"
"Brother, are you planning to intercept the divine object?!"
The shock on the younger brother's face flashed by, but then his brows furrowed tightly:
"But, we haven't had time to transfer those billions in assets yet?"
"At a time like this, don't talk about money!"
The sturdy man saw things clearly and waved his hand, saying bluntly:
"Although I don't know the specific capabilities of that divine object, the fact that it has attracted the attention of so many top big shots already speaks volumes!"
"Besides, it's not like I haven't prepared an exit strategy all these years. I have over a dozen different private accounts abroad, and the money stored in them... is enough for our family to live for ten lifetimes!"
"Alright —"
"Brother, I'll listen to your arrangements!"
After his younger brother left, the sturdy man stood up from his chair.
Looking out the window,
watching the high-society figures playing golf in the manor, his eyes drifted slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he said: "Making me a pawn is fine."
"But if you want me to die, then ask the blade in my hand — if it agrees!"
Soon, a mysterious call was made from his hand,
"Notify the 'Jungle Leopard', at twelve o'clock tonight, fully armed, gather in Xiangnan!"
...
Xiangnan Province,
Jiang Jin stretched,
after his nap, he felt refreshed.
"Hmm —?"
"Why do I have a feeling of unease?"
Suddenly, Jiang Jin frowned, and an indescribable "sense of foreboding" welled up in his heart.
"Could it be that I'm too tired recently, and my mental state is slightly abnormal?"
But soon, he shook his head and denied it: "No!"
After becoming the controller of the Singularity Universe, even though his physical body hadn't changed, his 'status' had actually transcended the category of a Mortal!
In this case, even the slightest premonition had a traceable cause!
Jiang Jin pondered secretly: "Could it be that someone wants to harm me?"
Thinking back to the past, he didn't have a habit of making enemies; in his treatment of others, he was still relatively "kind," and there were no life-and-death grudges.
"Looking at it this way, it only has to do with it!"
Jiang Jin's eyebrows raised slightly, and he softly uttered a term: "extraterrestrial meteorite!"
Regarding the handling of the extraterrestrial meteorite, he was confident no one knew. But in this situation, how did the information leak?
His thoughts were meticulous, and he carefully recalled his recent actions. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something!
"So that's it!"
"It seems someone used internet means to internally check my phone's network routing!"
Jiang Jin's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he secretly thought: "Fortunately, they only know I possess the extraterrestrial meteorite, but they don't understand its specific capabilities."
As early as before arriving home last night, for the sake of safety, Jiang Jin had turned off all his phones and computers, and unplugged the SIM cards and wireless network cards.
As a computer graduate from a top university, he knew the methods of the internet too well!
Even without using the actual hardware, just by relying on network routing, one could easily find any internet usage traces of electronic devices!
This matter was indeed his oversight!
Yesterday morning in the dormitory, he had also habitually and unintentionally gone online to check information about various strange meteorites. He never imagined that just because of this, he would still be precisely suspected...
"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth. I am not the me of the past!"
The strange look on Jiang Jin's face dissipated, replaced by a confident, faint smile:
"If you want to use dark means to deal with me, then be prepared to have your teeth shattered!"
Suddenly,
his heart stirred,
he walked to the bedroom, picked up his phone, inserted the SIM card, and turned it on.
Sure enough, on the phone's lock screen, there was an unknown text message received two minutes ago:
"It's getting dark, remember to lock the doors and windows."
Seeing the content of the message, there was not much change on Jiang Jin's face. He skillfully turned off the phone, removed the card, walked out of the bedroom, and continued to lie leisurely on the rocking chair.
Before closing his eyes, a trace of trance finally flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly:
"I knew you sent me a text message; this is probably our last exchange..."
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Jin's consciousness entered the Singularity Universe.
...
Although only three hours had passed in the outside world, more than ten days had already passed on the Origin Continent!
The desert area that Jiang Jin had newly created was now lush, covered with various grasses, and fat little animals hiding among them.
A flying mosquito was sucking juice on a plump stem and leaf, but suddenly, a yellow-green dragonfly caught it with an elegant flying posture...
A small shrimp in the pond was comfortably devouring green algae and mayflies, but in a blink of an eye, it was swallowed by a catfish that had been waiting for a long time...
These vivid jungle scenes made Jiang Jin, who had never paid attention before, feast his eyes!
On the Origin Continent, he could truly do whatever he wanted.
With just a slight thought, he could magnify the scene of small animals hunting by a hundred times, and "project" it truthfully and accurately before his eyes!
After observing interestingly for a while, Jiang Jin withdrew his gaze and looked at the transparent data panel in front of him:
[Creator: Jiang Jin]
[Creator Rank: Lv1 (69 / 100)]
[World Origin Points: 21]
[Kindred Life Rating: G]
[World Operation Information: ...]
Seeing that the World Origin Points had reached 21 drops again, Jiang Jin rubbed his chin and pondered:
"I need to find a few ways to deal with tonight's problem."
"The best way to deal with technological weapons is to use... extraordinary means!"
Thinking of this, the corners of Jiang Jin's mouth raised, and a few "kind" ideas quickly welled up in his heart.
