Chapter Seventy-Eight: Node Limits
Xin Xiao hung up the phone, and Lian Chengbi's mobile phone next to him finally stopped.
"......Huh" Lian Chengbi let out a sigh, threw his phone aside, pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "These people are too well-informed, you just won the championship, and Hongqiao Sports has not officially obtained the support terms of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce, they are like sharks smelling blood." ”
"This is a shrewd businessman, everything is sooner rather than later, and there is no harm in communicating with you in advance." Xin Lin smiled and said: "And this is a good thing for you and the company, and next, you will be busy for a long time." ”
Lian Chengbi was in high spirits, and said confidently: "I have already prepared, whether Hongqiao Sports can seize the Jupiter market depends on how much support the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce can give, and I will start negotiations tomorrow, hoping to get the result I want the most." ”
"I don't understand this, I can't help you, I can only wish you good luck." Xin Lonely has nothing to do, and after winning the championship, he can focus on cultivation.
"You've done enough, and without you we wouldn't have all of this." Lian Chengbi tapped his head and asked, "By the way, when do you plan to return to Earth?" ”
"Not for now." When Xin Lin was on the phone with squad leader Zhao Hengyu just now, he thought about his itinerary and said: "The mastermind behind the sneak attack on us yesterday has not been found, I am afraid that they will have small actions in the near future, which may not be good for you, so I decided to stay and protect you for a while, anyway, I have nothing else to do, so I am not in a hurry to leave." ”
Lian Chengbi was moved when he heard this, leaned over from his seat and hugged Xin Lian, and said with emotion after a few seconds: "Knowing you as a friend is the greatest luck in my life, thank you." ”
"Since we're friends, why do you want to thank you?" Xin Lin patted Lian Chengbi's back, and the fragrance on her body penetrated into his nostrils, making him almost react.
Lian Chengbi turned around and sat up straight, his face slowly returned to normal, and said softly: "Actually, I have also thought about this problem, and I thought that when you leave, I will ask two professional bodyguards to protect you, and then let the company's security department recruit a few more people to come in to improve the company's security level." ”
Xin Lin laughed, "Aren't I the deputy minister of the company's security department, who is responsible for your personal safety, and I still signed a contract to get a salary, and I didn't leave my job, what bodyguard do I invite!" ”
"I thought you, the deputy minister, only took money and didn't work......" Lian Chengbi smiled, amused by Xin Lone's words.
As the two spoke, the airship entered Iceglow City.
Lian Chengbi asked the airship to go directly to her apartment, and the two discussed that they would continue to live together for a while.
Lianchengbi's apartment is not far from the company, located on the top floor of a building, with a wide view, an area of nearly 200 square meters, and a practice room, which has been carefully designed and renovated, and the overall postmodernist style is neutral and cool, with a little fashion taste, which is very in line with her personality characteristics.
This is the house rented by Lianchengbi, and the rent of one month can cover the salary of Xin Lonely in the past year, because there is only one person living in it, and the room in Nuoda seems a little empty.
After Xin Lin came in, he walked around, and couldn't help but admire, or the same sentence: rich people really enjoy it!
However, he found a problem, that is, this two-hundred-square-meter house is actually a single apartment, with only one bedroom, and most of the remaining space is occupied by the practice room and living room. Although the bedroom was spacious and the bed was big and soft, he couldn't sleep in the same bed with Lian Chengbi every day, right?
Even Chengbi sensed the difficulty and looked a little embarrassed.
Xin Xiao coughed dryly, stood in the living room and said, "I'll just sleep on the sofa, anyway, your sofa is big enough, and it's almost the same as the bed, no difference." ”
"How can this work, I'll sleep on the sofa......"
Lian Chengbi hurriedly shook his head, but was interrupted by Xin Lone, and said, "It's okay, I'm not picky, I can sleep anywhere." Besides, 'it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality,' I'm still used to the more humble conditions, and I don't want to learn material comforts too early and interfere with my cultivation mentality. I slept on the couch, and that's it. ”
In fact, this is all nonsense, he really doesn't care about external things, but he will not be affected by material enjoyment, this remark is just an excuse to give her a step down.
Lian Chengbi saw that he had made up his mind, and he was relieved in his heart, so he didn't insist anymore.
After washing up and having dinner, Xin Lin entered the practice room and began today's practice. What surprised him was that there was also an induction cabin in the practice room, and when he came out to ask, he found out that it was rented by Lian Chengbi, with a rent of 600,000 yuan a year, just to facilitate her usual cultivation, save time, and not have to go to the martial arts hall outside.
"Extravagant!"
Xin sighed, according to the meditation duration of the samurai stage, the daily cost is about three hundred, and throughout the year, the use fee of the induction cabin does not exceed 120,000 at most, while renting an induction cabin costs 600,000, which does not include the resources consumed by the induction cabin, and the price is more than five times more than that, just to save a little time.
"Time is money, rich people really know how to play......" he has a deep understanding.
In fact, the rent of 600,000 yuan a year is not unacceptable to Xin Lin now, if it weren't for his very little need for induction cabins, and he was not as dependent on other Force warriors as he was, after returning to Earth, he could also rent an induction cabin and install it at home.
Early the next morning, Xin Lin followed Lian Chengbi to work.
As soon as they entered the company, the employees in the office saw the two of them, especially Xin Lone, who was following Lian Chengbi, and they all stood up and applauded him, and many people showed admiration. Lian Chengbi's assistant Mei Yimin, seeing that little stars almost popped up in Xin Lone's eyes, came up with a pen and paper to ask him for an autograph.
Xin Lin can see that most people are sincere, and they won the championship for Hongqiao Sports, which brought great benefits to the company, and as employees of the company, they will also enjoy the benefits in the future.
"Thank you." Xin Lin smiled and thanked him.
Entering the office, Liancheng Bi was resolute, and immediately asked the assistant to inform the company's senior management to prepare for the meeting, and at the same time, Lian Xiulin on Earth and Liancheng Yu on Mars also joined the meeting, mainly to discuss how the company should negotiate with the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce to strive for maximum support.
Xin Lin is not interested in these things, Lian Chengbi is very safe in the company, he doesn't need to follow him all the time, and he has nothing to do. Fortunately, the company's security department also has a training room, although it is not big, but there are all kinds of strength equipment that can be used, and he has nothing to do, so he soaks in it all day to practice boxing.
Here, his telepathy can extend to Lian Chengbi's office, and he can keep an eye on what is happening around her at all times.
While practicing boxing, I was thinking about cultivation.
The prize money for the champion of the Star Cup has arrived, and after deducting taxes, Xin Lin got more than 40 million, plus the remuneration and bonuses agreed by Hongqiao Sports, he now has more than 60 million deposits in his hands!
It was the first time in his life that Xin Lin had so much money, and when he received the money, he looked at the digital amount in his bank account and had a dreamy feeling.
"That's enough money to buy a company run by three parents."
Xin Lin sighed in his heart, it is indeed much easier for Force Warriors to make money than ordinary people, but it also spends a lot of money!
Next, he was going to buy the exercises of the two parts of the Intermediate Samurai and Senior Samurai of the "Seven Colored Stellar Flame" in one go, which were eight million and thirty-five million respectively, and pay off the previous exercise loan of more than one million in advance. The rest of the money will be given to his parents when he returns to Mars in the New Year, so that they can invest in the company's operation, and in the end, there will be more than 5 million yuan left for cultivation and daily expenses, buying potions, using induction cabins, and so on.
Sixty million seems to be a lot, but it can't be saved for long in Xin Lian's hands, and it will all be spent in the blink of an eye.
However, Xin Lin didn't plan to buy the exercises immediately, adding follow-up exercises requires me to take the exercise chip to the super energy center in person, he just won the championship of the Star Cup, and he is in the limelight, and now he is likely to be recognized when he goes out, so it's not fun.
It just so happened that the existing nine Force nodes had reached a critical point of cultivation, and he kept absorbing vacuum energy day and night, coupled with the potion to improve the efficiency, it was expected that he would be able to grow to the limit in a week.
People are always forgetful, and when the time comes, the impact of the Star Cup has almost passed, and few people will still remember what his championship is like.
Day after day passed, Xin Lin did not forget to protect Lian Chengbi while cultivating, wherever she went, Xin Lin followed closely behind, whether he was working in the company or sleeping at home, he was like a shadow, and he really achieved personal protection.
Although the expected danger did not happen, Xin Lin did not dare to relax his vigilance, maybe the other party was still brewing some conspiracy, this was the time to compete for patience.
Lian Chengbi led the team to negotiate with Jupiter Shang on the terms of support, Xin Lin didn't pay attention to the content of the agreement, but judging from Lian Chengbi's mood in the past few days, the result should be very good, and a smile appeared on her usually cold face from time to time. Hongqiao Company has been launched from top to bottom, all employees are busy with their feet on the ground, and the whole company has shown a vigorous new look, ready to start a big business.
A week later, in the training room of Hongqiao Sports, Xin Lin was testing his strength and speed.
"Bench press strength 1025 kg; Squat strength 1712 kg; The 3,000-meter run is 18.37 meters per second and the 100-meter sprint is 5.72 seconds. ”
Xin Silent silently recorded his data and compared it to other Force warriors.
At this time, the nine Force nodes in his heart have all reached the limit of accommodation and can no longer grow, and the Force contained in each node is more than three times higher than that of ordinary Force warriors, plus the Force nodes of "Seven Colored Stellar Flame" are originally larger than other exercises, and the strengthening of physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary junior warriors!
In terms of strength and speed, Xin Lone's stats are much higher than those of other junior samurai, almost twice as high.
If anyone was present and saw Xin Lone's data, they would definitely not be able to believe that this was just a test result of a junior samurai, almost on par with an intermediate samurai who had condensed all the visceral nodes, and even stronger than some high-level samurai with average cultivation techniques!
Xin Lin carefully experienced his physical strength, compared with half a year ago, it was really a earth-shaking change.
He looked at his palm and said secretly, "It feels good to have power, but it's not enough, it's time to buy exercises and start the next stage of cultivation." ”
