Chapter 48

He gave up the idea of dealing with the leader of the Blood Oath Alliance in Starlight City.

Starlight City is a city with highly developed legal and civilized systems, where any illegal activities are prohibited. Even on the train to Starlight City, carrying any firearms is not allowed. Even banned drugs cannot escape detection by various machines.

Therefore, Jiang Li always purchases and consumes any banned drugs directly in Ruin City.

"How much assets does your boss have?"

Jiang Li continued to ask.

"We don't know. How could we, mere lackeys, know about the boss's personal assets? But it's probably a few million."

Ah Biao answered drowsily, greedily swallowing his saliva. Subconsciously, he very much hoped to get that money.

"When does he usually go out to meet his mistress?"

"Weekends, at night. We don't know the specifics. The boss always goes out alone, and it's a big secret."

Jiang Li asked everything clearly, then suddenly rallied his spirit, his brain cells ten times more active, his eyes glowing like a phantom fox: "Go to sleep, have a good sleep, and when you wake up, you will forget everything."

"Yes, sleep, sleep, so sleepy..." Ah Biao fell into a deep sleep, collapsing in the alley, unconscious.

Jiang Li took away the three guns, carefully put them away, and left. If nothing went wrong, these three would not wake up until the next day. As for what to do after they woke up, he didn't care. He didn't kill them with his own hands.

Although the three were definitely criminals with a long list of offenses, Jiang Li didn't want to deal with them personally. Since they failed to complete their mission, the gang would surely punish them severely, and their fate wouldn't be good.

Click!

In an alley, Jiang Li played with the gun in his hand.

It was made of an alloy, more durable and less prone to deformation than tungsten steel. The bullets were small but had a great explosive force and a long range. The effective range was 1000-2000 meters. Two hundred years ago, during the era of nation-states, the effective range of a pistol was only 100 meters.

Jiang Li checked the bullets and found they were small, green pea-sized nuclear fission bullets.

They had strong propulsion and speed, containing nuclear technology. After leaving the gun, they would explode, generating a powerful burst. This made the gun have no recoil.

Once they hit a person, the metal bullets would explode, creating a large hole in the body, with extremely strong killing power.

These were prohibited firearms, only available on the black market.

He didn't expect to get three, worth at least 30,000 star coins, and the bullets were very expensive, each costing nearly dozens of star coins.

However, these were low-grade firearms. Some had a longer range, up to 10,000 meters, and the bullets could automatically track and turn, containing computer chips.

But these bullets were even more expensive, costing thousands of star coins each, used only by the military in interplanetary combat.

"It seems I can't return to Starlight City for now." Although Jiang Li was fond of the three guns, he knew he couldn't take them back. He would likely be arrested as soon as he stepped onto the train.

"I'll stay in Ruin City for three days. It's the weekend tomorrow, and if nothing goes wrong, Blood Feud should go to meet his mistress!" Jiang Li felt a burning passion: "Blood Feud should carry a lot of money. According to his online profile, he is extremely powerful, though not a hypnotist, his mental cultivation is probably the same as mine, deep sleep stage three, dream power. But if I eliminate him, how many victimized families can be avenged? How much money can I get?"

The Zheng Wenbing family was rumored to be millionaires, but in reality, they might not have more than a few million in cash. If Jiang Li could take out this one, obtain Blood Feud's wealth, he could surpass them in one step, and then it would be easy to play with them!

The only concern was that Blood Feud was very powerful and couldn't be hypnotized.

This would only alert him.

However, Jiang Li's recent meditation on the Cosmic Brain had greatly improved his hypnosis skills, and he could definitely hypnotize someone of the same mental strength.

"Fortunately, I robbed 380,000 star coins to buy Moon Essence. I'll reach the peak of my strength and mental state before doing anything else." After planning, Jiang Li turned and went to the Security Building.

"Brother, are you here to buy Super Protein again?"

Gao Ren recognized this "Jiang Huo."

"This time, I'm not buying Super Protein. I want to buy Moon Essence. How much per bottle?" Jiang Li took out his chip to pay.

"If you buy in bulk, it's 150,000 per bottle. If you buy a small amount, it's 180,000, but since you've done business with us before, I'll give you 170,000."

"Two bottles, then."

Jiang Li didn't hesitate, spending the money directly.

Two bottles of "Moon Essence" were in his hands, and he was about to leave.

Gao Ren hurriedly said, "Brother, wait a moment. Last time, I mentioned that our company is hiring hypnotists. Are you interested?"

"How much is the salary? I don't have a hypnotist qualification certificate." Jiang Li stopped.

"That's not a problem. Getting a certificate would only invite government supervision." Gao Ren smiled: "Actually, many初级 hypnotists don't bother with certification, which makes it easier to operate. There are many such experts in Ruin City. As for the salary, if you can hypnotize me, your monthly salary would be at least 100,000, and you would receive focused training from the company. The company even hires intermediate hypnotists to train us in hypnosis techniques."

"Intermediate hypnotists giving training."

Jiang Li was a bit tempted.

His current hypnosis skills were purely self-taught, and progress was slow. Without the "Mental Emperor Seal" technique, he wouldn't be making so much money in Ruin City.

If he had guidance from an intermediate hypnotist, he believed he could make rapid progress.

However, joining the security group wasn't a good thing, as it would come with many restrictions.

"I'll think about it carefully and contact you next time." After some thought, Jiang Li refused Gao Ren again.

"Truly regrettable, but I respect Mr. Jiang's choice." Gao Ren spread his hands.

Jiang Li hurriedly walked out. As soon as he left the Security Building, he felt that someone was watching him. It was surveillance, not from the security group, but from some gangs outside who wanted to rob others. Many people who came to the Security Building to buy things were watched once they left.

"Such a chaotic city."

Jiang Li shook his head and quickly slipped into an alley.

He felt that many people were quickly following him.

Bang!

He quickly drew his gun and fired a shot into a distant wall.

The wall immediately exploded with a large hole.

"Bad, the other side has a gun!"

"Highly destructive metal micro-nuclear bullets!"

"Run, run, this is a fierce character." ...

Some gang members were in chaos. Jiang Li suddenly burst out, moving swiftly like a monkey, weaving through the streets and alleys. In no time, he shook off his pursuers.

Using his sixth sense, he confirmed no one was following him. Jiang Li hid deep in an abandoned, uninhabited building, first checking the authenticity of the two bottles of Moon Essence, then began to consume them.

This time, he swallowed a whole bottle at once, immediately feeling a cool sensation all over his body, as if wrapped in moonlight. His mind became unprecedentedly clear, and Jiang Li quickly entered the third stage of deep sleep, practicing the Mental Emperor Seal. Instantly, his body moved as fast as the wind, his hands forming seals with a dreamlike quality, and white mist emerged from his pores, indicating that his physical and mental meditation had reached their limits.

Half an hour later, he suddenly woke up from the "Drunken Fist" state, clenching his fist and feeling a surge of power from within. With a slight thought, his entire body felt explosive.

He felt a significant increase in physical strength, and his brain cells became more active.

"Indeed, it's a good thing. Moon Essence is a step up from Super Protein." Jiang Li looked at the remaining bottle, marveling at the power of human technology, capable of creating the essence of the sun and moon.

When treating Snowy, he had taken it drop by drop, and by the end of the treatment, he had only consumed half a bottle. Now, taking a whole bottle at once, he felt the power of the substance, which not only repaired brain cells and slowed brain aging but also made cell division more active.

Unfortunately, it was really expensive.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the money to take it for a long time. If I took a bottle every day for a year, how much would my vitality improve?"

He was indulging in fantasy.

In Starlight City, there might be no one who could take "Moon Essence" every day. At the lowest price of 150,000 per bottle, it would cost over 50 million a year. Who would invest that much in one person?

Even Ouyang Xing might reach his limit with one bottle a month.

He hid in the building to rest and lie low.

In Ruin City, many abandoned buildings, some left over from a hundred years ago, were not rented for business and were left to decay. Some buildings even had no ownership, and homeless people would find shelter in them. Of course, these buildings had no water or electricity, and the toilets were unusable.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had wilderness survival experience, so hiding in the building was not a problem.

He hid in an abandoned building not far from the Blood Oath Alliance, buying a high-powered telescope to observe day and night.

The next day, he took another bottle of Moon Essence, spending 170,000 star coins in one go, in exchange for an improvement in his mental state and a gradual increase in physical strength. This investment was truly enormous.

"I wonder if my vitality has reached 1.1?" Jiang Li wanted to go back to school for a check-up.

Since passing the military training, surviving life-and-death battles, and advancing mentally, he had improved his martial arts through intense practice. After taking Moon Essence, his speed in the "Mental Emperor Seal" and his meditation had slightly improved.

Recently, his investment in his body had exceeded 500,000 star coins.

This investment was less than Ouyang Xing's, but he had the Great Dream Heart Sutra to practice. Could it make up for the difference? Ouyang Xing's investment in his body was definitely in the millions, several times more than his. This was incomparable. So far, he had only taken two bottles of "Moon Essence," while Ouyang Xing might have taken more than twenty.

"This time, I'll pull off a big job, take Blood Feud's money, and then I can focus on cultivation, even cultivating my sister." Jiang Li lay low, like a black leopard in the night.
