Chapter 58

Just a few hours, Jiang Li had done the work equivalent to ten junior hypnotists.

After hypnotizing twenty people, he finally felt tired and knew that he couldn't continue hypnotizing today, or it would damage his brain and cells.

Twenty people, each could earn him 800, so according to the contract, he could get 16,000, and after tax, he could get 12,800 yuan.

More importantly, each person he hypnotized gave him different experiences and insights, which greatly helped his hypnotism and cultivation.

A few days ago, he could only hypnotize ten people.

Now, the number of people he hypnotized had doubled, indicating a leap in both his skills and mental state.

However, this was not enough.

He didn't receive any cash; all the money from hypnotism was used to pay off his loan.

Fortunately, the company provided an interest-free loan; otherwise, the interest would have been a significant burden. This meant he was now penniless, with almost no money left to buy nutritional supplements.

Moreover, he needed a 4 million yuan Life Fruit to fully recover his body.

In this case, even hypnotizing 200 people a day wouldn't be enough.

Although earning money seemed distant, he was not at all anxious. Every day, he hypnotized in the morning, cultivated and comprehended in the afternoon, and taught the cats in the park in the evening, while also practicing.

Due to the lack of money to buy a large amount of nutritional supplements, his physical strength did not improve much, but his mental cultivation advanced rapidly.

For ten consecutive days, he maintained this routine.

Gradually, he became the absolute chief hypnotist in the Security Group, and his reputation soared. The Security Group's business improved many times over.

There were few junior hypnotists in Xinghua City, and Jiang Li could now handle ten at once, hypnotizing quickly and with high quality. Many clients hoped to be hypnotized by him, and hundreds of people queued up every day.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hypnotize everyone.

Ding!

One day, after finishing his hypnotism and resting, he suddenly heard Chu Xixi's voice in his email: "Jiang Li, come to the office."

He immediately rushed to the office.

"Watch this video," Chu Xixi said, turning on the large screen.

The scene slowly unfolded.

In the distance, a huge armored flying car appeared in the sky, oval-shaped, emitting a loud sonic boom.

The ground shook, and some buildings seemed to sway.

"This armored flying car is military-grade, with the Sun and Moon emblem? Is that the Xuhua City black market? Yes, this military-grade armored flying car cannot fly in Xinghua City, but in the lawless Xuhua City black market, it can do as it pleases," Jiang Li said, closely watching the live video and paying attention to the information.

Sure enough, the huge armored flying car slowly landed in a deserted square in Xuhua City, causing the ground to shake.

Jiang Li watched closely again.

Click!

The door of the armored car opened.

Dark shadows loomed inside, as if something was about to come out.

"Fire!"

Suddenly, many gang members appeared outside the square, all armed with continuous pulse guns and expensive solid bullets.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Flames spewed out, attacking the open door of the armored car.

This kind of firefight was too dangerous to approach. The massive explosions could shatter reinforced concrete, but they had no effect on the armored car.

Whoosh!

Just as the armored car was surrounded by many gang members, a shadow darted out at high speed.

This shadow was two meters tall, completely black, like a demon, with spikes on its back. Solid bullets hit it in rapid succession, causing continuous explosions, but left no marks.

Ah!

A scream, the shadow broke the sound barrier, colliding with a gang member, who screamed and turned into a bloody mist.

"Sound-speed mech!" Jiang Li's voice was low.

In the past, a car traveling at 100 kilometers per hour could turn a person into a bloody mess, with a speed of about 28 meters per second.

The speed of sound is 340 meters per second.

A sound-speed collision could completely obliterate a person, tearing them into a bloody mist.

"What is this? A sound-speed power armor? Metal exoskeleton?" Jiang Li was shocked, seeing a one-sided slaughter in the video.

The black shadow, moving at sound speed, darted around, continuously killing gang members armed with guns.

What is a superhuman? This is a superhuman.

Swish!

The shadow flew up to a building, darting through the corridors, and no one could withstand a single round against it. Even martial arts masters were as fragile as paper in the face of such absolute power.

In less than ten minutes, over a hundred gang members armed with guns were all killed!

No gun could harm this shadow.

The gang members outside the square were completely cleared, and all the threats were eliminated by a single person.

"Too strong!" Jiang Li was excited, feeling the shock and power of the sound-speed mech from the video.

The video on the internet ended here.

"This is a scene from today in the black market, where the Sun and Moon Group completely crushed many gang attacks and suppressed the situation," Chu Xixi said, looking very unhappy. "Now, they are building a large base in Xuhua City, setting up a headquarters, and directly selling banned drugs! This has caused significant losses to our Security Group's banned drug market. Many people are now buying directly from the Sun and Moon Group, and the price of Moon Essence has dropped to 70,000 yuan per bottle!"

"Cut in half!" Jiang Li's eyebrows shot up.

Originally, Moon Essence was 140,000 yuan, and now the price was cut in half, which would cause a sensation in the black market, drawing in countless people.

The Sun and Moon Group's move had disrupted the market, creating chaos.

This was their first step in dominating the Earth market.

"Our original income for the Security Group mainly came from banned drugs. Now, the banned drug market is being heavily impacted, causing significant losses. In Xinghua City alone, many families who used to order banned drugs from us are now flocking to the black market and the Sun and Moon Group," Chu Xixi said, opening another screen showing many names of former Security Group clients who had now switched to the Sun and Moon Group.

Jiang Li immediately saw the Sanhe Group.

The Sanhe Group was a joint venture of Zheng Wenbing, Zhang Yue, and Yang Wu, with considerable influence.

"The Sanhe Group has directly torn up their agreement with us and ordered Moon Essence from the Sun and Moon Group. They have also sent many people to the black market to prepare for a big deal," Chu Xixi said, opening detailed information.

"Oh?" Jiang Li's mind stirred, forming an idea.

"I called you here to understand the current situation and see if you can think of a way to turn things around for me," Chu Xixi said.

"The Sun and Moon Group is too strong, even using sound-speed mechs. After occupying the Xuhua City black market, their power will grow even more," Jiang Li shook his head. "I can't think of a good solution right now. A sound-speed mech is a mid-level combat mech, which is far beyond human capabilities."

"Really troublesome."

Chu Xixi sighed.

Mecha are divided into "low-level combat mechs," "mid-level combat mechs," "high-level combat mechs," "super combat mechs," and "sacred mechs."

Even ordinary "low-level combat mechs" are incredibly powerful, impervious to blades and bullets, and can jump over dozens of floors. These mechs are expensive and legally prohibited, being destructive weapons. Anyone who owns one outside the military faces life imprisonment.

A "mid-level combat mech" is a sound-speed mech, with even greater power, as Jiang Li had already seen.

As for high-level combat mechs, super combat mechs, and sacred mechs, Jiang Li had seen them in the dreams of the Great Dream Sutra, where Earth's warships entered other planets.

The human body cannot possibly withstand such things.

"Mid-level combat mechs" are rare even in the military, only equipped in first-tier cities. Xinghua City is a fourth or fifth-tier city.

Ordinary low-level combat mechs cost millions.

Mid-level combat mechs cost dozens or even hundreds of times more.

In Xuhua City, large groups might own "low-level combat mechs," but "mid-level combat mechs" would never appear. Therefore, a "mid-level combat mech" would absolutely shock everyone.

Combat refers to combat power.

Low-level combat means low-level combat power.

Night.

Jiang Li appeared in the outskirts of the Xuhua City black market, quietly lurking, as if waiting for something.

"The Sanhe Group always stops here to enter the city and buy banned drugs. I will ambush here and intercept the goods halfway," Jiang Li knew from the Security Group's information that the Sanhe Group would soon bring in a large batch of goods.

So, he entered the black market to gather information.

With his hypnotism skills, he was like a fish in water in the black market and quickly uncovered some of the Sanhe Group's secrets.

He would not let Zheng Wenbing, Yang Wu, and Zhang Yue off.

The outskirts of Xuhua City were truly a wasteland, with abandoned factories, buildings, deep pits, sewage ditches, and garbage heaps everywhere.

Jiang Li quietly lurked.

Sure enough, not long after, a flying car landed in the darkness, and several powerful experts walked out! People from the Zheng Wenbing, Yang Wu, and Zhang Yue families had arrived!

"Indeed, they've come!"

Jiang Li deeply lurked, observing the powerful experts and listening intently.

Conversations reached his ears.

"The black market is now a mix of fish and dragons, with ten times more people. We need to be careful this time when picking up the goods, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Don't worry. We have so many people hiding in the car. Who would dare to approach? We'll wait for the Sun and Moon Group people to come, exchange money for goods, and it will be safer."

"Why haven't the Sun and Moon Group people arrived yet?"

"They're here."...

Jiang Li moved and saw several people in "low-level combat mechs" flying over and landing. The mechs were two meters tall, all metal, and very powerful, with the Sun and Moon Group emblem.

One of them was carrying a box.

"We've brought the goods, pay up."

"Check the goods first," the Sanhe Group people said hurriedly. The two sides gathered to inspect, and Jiang Li suddenly saw that the box was filled with Moon Essence.

"Count them, 100 bottles of Moon Essence, 70,000 yuan per bottle, you need to pay 7 million yuan," a person from the Sun and Moon Group said.

"No problem."

The transaction was quickly completed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!... The Sun and Moon Group people flew away, disappearing instantly.

The Sanhe Group people carefully inspected the goods and were about to return to the car with the box.

"Right now!"

Jiang Li suddenly let out a long whistle.
