19: Chapter 19: Grudges and Debts Are No Big Deal! Family Member Life Rating [G+]

A few moments later, a faint rustling sound came from the other end of the phone, followed quickly by a voice:

"The latest report just came in: All the gold and artifacts in secret rooms 1 and 2 of the villa's basement have vanished, yet there are no signs that the alloy doors were opened. From this, we infer that the extraordinary ability Jiang Jin possesses not only allows him to pass through walls but also includes spatial storage capabilities!"

"Do not take action against him for now. Organize all the initial events, and I want to see a complete report by dawn."

The old man paused, his tone as calm as an ancient well, and added: "Do not make a scene regarding Wang Zhen's funeral arrangements; handle it discreetly."

"Yes!"

After hanging up, the old man put on the gray coat handed to him by his secretary, walked steadily into the courtyard, looked up at the dark night sky just before dawn, and murmured a cryptic remark:

"Will what comes after dawn be the future, or... destruction?"

"The great era is magnificent; those who defy it shall be crushed to pieces..."

"If one can achieve longevity, what is the loss of a son?"

The flicker of heat in the old man's eyes was quickly extinguished. He turned his head and said to the middle-aged secretary with an expressionless tone:

"I recall that during yesterday's meeting, the Yao family proposed transferring Mo Wudi to Xiangnan Province?"

"Yes. The Yao family stated that public security in Xiangnan Province is facing significant issues this year and urgently needs a strong and capable officer to purge the shadows of evil."

The middle-aged secretary bowed slightly, responding respectfully.

The old man showed no emotion and said: "Approve Mo Wudi's transfer order."

"...Approve it?"

The middle-aged secretary was stunned, as if he thought he had misheard.

"Xiao Li, you must understand that at our level, there are no absolute grudges. What is called opposition is merely a conflict of interest."

The old man saw through everything and understood what the middle-aged secretary was thinking. He clasped his hands behind his back and instructed calmly:

"When interests align, grudges are nothing more than a matter of a single cup of wine."

"...I understand, sir!"

Upon hearing this, a bone-chilling coldness welled up from the bottom of the middle-aged secretary's heart!

He gained a new understanding of the struggle, though his expression remained largely unchanged as he bowed in response.

"Go prepare the 'nomination order.' Old Man Yao will naturally understand my intentions. We will discuss the rest after the detailed report comes out."

"Yes!"

...

Sichuan Province.

Yibin City.

Inside a high-end hotel in the city center, Jiang Jin had just finished taking a hot shower.

He glanced at the time on the phone on the table [04:15], his expression thoughtful.

"At this moment, someone should have already discovered Wang Zhen's corpse."

"I just wonder what kind of reaction the Wang family will have?"

"Will it be revenge? Or... reconciliation?"

Soon, Jiang Jin stopped overthinking. He felt that no matter what happened, he remained in an invincible position.

If someone wanted to make a move from the shadows, he would be even more pleased. Perhaps Wang Zhen could welcome some "fellow travelers"?

One must know that his Origin Continent was extremely lacking in "living Bodhisattvas" to work for him for a hundred lifetimes!

Feeling sleepiness wash over him, Jiang Jin lay down on the soft and comfortable Simmons mattress and fell into a deep sleep.

Nine-thirty in the morning.

Jiang Jin got up and spent three minutes washing up.

He ordered a hearty breakfast from the front desk over the phone.

After gorging himself, he pulled the curtains, turned off his phone, leaned back into the high-end sofa, and quietly let his consciousness enter the... Singularity Universe.

Nearly twenty-four hours had passed since his consciousness last entered.

Under a time dilation ratio of one hundred times, nearly one hundred long days had already passed on the Origin Continent!

Jiang Jin's figure descended onto the Origin Continent, his eyes scanning the area with great fervor.

He saw that the one-hundred-square-meter plot of land was filled with plants and animals. The ninety square meters of desert that had been newly expanded were already a paradise for vegetation and small animals.

Pushing aside the grass, he scooped up a handful of soil from the ground. Clearly visible black humus was mixed within it, filling the original yellowish-brown sand particles with organic matter.

Under a virtuous cycle, the plants would be able to absorb more and more nutrients, and the stems and leaves that grew in the end would be thicker and more lush.

Jiang Jin threw away the black soil in his hand with great satisfaction. After clapping his hands, he turned his gaze to the transparent crystal panel before him:

[Creator: Jiang Jin]

[Creation Rank: Lv2 (307/1000)]

[World Origin Points: 148]

[Dependent Life Form Rating: G+]

[World Operation Information: Ninety-eight days ago, absorbed the Soul of a chrysanthemum to gain 0.28 World Origin Points. Forty-six days ago, absorbed the Soul of an eel to gain 0.67 World Origin Points. Thirty-five days ago, absorbed the Souls of eight humans to gain 160 World Origin Points. One day ago, absorbed the Soul of a white lotus to gain 0.77 World Origin Points. ...]

"Huh? The Dependent Life Form Rating has increased by half a level—?"

Upon seeing the [G+] rating on the panel, Jiang Jin was first surprised, then turned slightly excited.

When he was digging the soil just now, he had felt that some of the small animals scurrying through the grass were very strange. Their shiny, hard shells clearly showed that they had undergone some unknown evolution!

Clearly, all of this was the work of—Spiritual Qi!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jin casually grabbed a seven-spotted ladybug from the grass that had already undergone slight mutation.

Looking closely, this seven-spotted ladybug was slightly larger than a soybean, and on its red and black spotted shell, there were several very attractive patterned stripes.

He pinched it gently with his hand, but for a moment, he couldn't crush it. He could clearly feel the hard resistance coming from its body!

"Is this just the evolutionary appearance after absorbing two wisps of Spiritual Qi?"

"It really is quite amazing!"

Jiang Jin increased his strength slightly again before finally crushing it with his hand.

Looking at the remains of the seven-spotted ladybug on his finger, he sighed in amazement; Spiritual Qi was truly the foundation of the extraordinary!

It had been less than a hundred days since he introduced Spiritual Qi, and under the pressure of survival of the fittest, the small animals had instinctively begun to absorb and initiate Fusion with the energy contained within the Spiritual Qi to fuel their own evolution and growth.

Throwing away the remains of the seven-spotted ladybug, he went to the edge of the small pool and caught another "micro-evolved" frog.

"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit~" The frog seemed terrified and struggled vigorously in Jiang Jin's hand.

"I must say, this little guy is quite strong."

The green frog's body size hadn't changed much, but its round green eyes were clearly more lively than before.

"I wonder if there are any aftereffects after absorbing Spiritual Qi?"

Jiang Jin used his Authority of Creation to conduct a meticulous "physical examination" on this green frog, not even sparing the frog's Soul.

The result was clear: there were no aftereffects, and the vitality of this frog was about twice as high as that of a normal frog!

From this, one can see how astonishing the evolutionary transformation brought by Spiritual Qi is!

"Since there are no side effects, should I also start absorbing it?"

Releasing the [Micro-evolved • Frog], Jiang Jin stroked his chin and pondered to himself.

He yearned extremely for true extraordinary power; that ultimate experience, which was far beyond what could be brought by consuming World Origin Points, was the path he had to take in the future!
