Chapter 51: The Scheme of Beauty Approaches
Upon returning to the wooden house, Yi Chen spent half an hour improving and weakening the new skill before focusing on his training.
Having already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Spirit Release, with the help of spirit stones, he successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Spirit Release in just a few hours.
As for advancing from the seventh level of the Spirit Release to the eighth level, Yi Chen estimated it would take no more than five or six days.
Compared to his breakthrough from the seventh level of the Qi Condensation stage to the eighth level, this was not significantly slower.
This speed was largely due to the presence of spirit stones, which doubled his training speed.
Additionally, with his territory extending to 160,000 square kilometers, his talent bonus had reached 16%.
His training speed had improved by 16% compared to before.
This allowed his current speed of improvement to be on par with his past performance from Qi Condensation.
After a night of training, the high priest came to inform him in the morning.
More than 170 tribe members who had broken through to Spirit Release had gathered in the valley, except for those who stayed behind to suppress the fierce beasts.
Yi Chen immediately headed to the gathering place.
A melodious and graceful sound of a bamboo flute floated through the air, making him pause in his steps.
The flute sounded both bold and gentle, clear and grand, like celestial music, making it hard to forget.
At times, it felt lively and joyful like a girl.
At other times, it evoked the image of a decisive general, strong like Iron Blood, commanding and powerful.
…
"They’re coming, the scheme of beauty is here, this heavy criminal is starting to show her strength."
"Look at Yi Chen’s expression; he is clearly attracted."
"Not just Yi Chen, even I am captivated. This heavy criminal obviously has remarkable skill with the flute."
"It’s impossible to resist; this piece was clearly tailored to Yi Chen’s character by a top composer. It balances softness and strength, easily sparking Yi Chen’s curiosity about the flutist."
"And curiosity often marks the beginning of love."
In the live room, a female viewer couldn’t help but lament, "It’s over, my idol is going to be deceived by a love scammer."
"What can be done? Just this talent alone is enough to deeply attract Yi Chen. In the brutal age, there was no music at all."
"Even ordinary music can have a massive impact, let alone a piece crafted specifically for Yi Chen by a top composer from the interstellar era. The flutist’s skill is off the charts. Even in the interstellar era, she would undoubtedly be a sensation."
"The most terrifying part is that the heavy criminal’s puppeteer has analyzed Guli’s past failures."
"This heavy criminal not only possesses a beauty that rivaled Guli but also has a gentle side that Guli lacks."
"With such a versatile goddess, how can Yi Chen defend himself?"
"Hopefully, this heavy criminal is backed by the Federal Parliament."
"Whether they are affiliated with the Federal Parliament depends on whether the beauty scheme works, and once Yi Chen falls for her, what her true intentions are."
"Only when her motives are revealed can we determine which side she truly stands on."
“No matter which side it is, deceiving Yi Chen’s feelings is wrong!”
“It is indeed wrong, but would you oppose it if it were someone from the Parliament?”
“Keep in mind, if it is someone from the Parliament, their main goal is surely to quickly obtain the new skill created by Yi Chen, or even guide him to create a new skill that we need.”
“There are many methods; it doesn’t have to involve this kind of emotional deception.”
“Throughout history, the scheme of beauty has always been the best way to achieve one’s goals!”
The audience in the live room constantly debated.
…
“Chief, that is Hai Lan playing the flute.”
Seeing Yi Chen stop to listen, the high priest pointed to a nearby thatched hut.
“Hai Lan is a girl whom Chief Tai Shi unexpectedly saved five days ago.”
“She not only possesses beauty and talent that rival Guli’s but also created a musical instrument called the flute, often playing for the tribe members. Her music is beautiful and unforgettable.”
“The flute…”
Yi Chen clicked his tongue.
Someone actually invented an instrument like the flute.
This girl named Hai Lan is truly a musical genius.
“Chief, shall I let her come to your side later to play the flute for you?”
A flattering look flashed in the high priest’s eyes.
…
“This high priest is indeed not a good person. From his attitude, it’s clear he plans to offer up a beauty to win Yi Chen’s favor.”
“This high priest has always been a treacherous minister aiming for power; his actions are quite normal.”
“With him inciting things, the success rate of the scheme of beauty will probably exceed 99%.”
“What 99%? It’s a full 100% success rate!”
“Poor Yi Chen, as the greatest genius in our humanity’s history, he is going to be deceived by an ugly woman.”
“And likely an ugly woman who has undergone surgery.”
“Know that in the brutal age, tall women with rough skin and loud voices were not uncommon. But in our current interstellar era, they are extremely rare.”
“Not to mention, finding such a woman who is also talented, has superior acting skills, and possesses the qualities of a spy is no easy task.”
The audience in the live room felt complicated emotions.
They both hoped that this heavy criminal was sent by the Federal Parliament and that the scheme of beauty would succeed.
At the same time, they felt pity for Yi Chen being deceived emotionally.
…
“Take some time to plan the living arrangements for the tribe members.”
Just as everyone thought Yi Chen would nod in agreement with the high priest’s suggestion.
Yi Chen’s response was unexpected.
“What?”
The high priest did not immediately understand what Yi Chen meant.
“Before, we lived in thatched huts because of a food shortage and no workers to cut down trees. What about now?”
Yi Chen retorted.
“I will arrange for the tribe members to chop down trees and rebuild wooden houses later.”
Cold sweat appeared on the high priest’s forehead.
He sensed the displeasure in Yi Chen’s tone.
“Plan the living arrangements properly. Don’t let it be as messy as it is now. Divide the areas for the tribe members to plant vegetables and raise small animals.”
“Make arrangements for daily cleaning and tidying of the bird droppings, bones, and fallen leaves in the tribe. Don’t waste your time on chaotic matters.”
Yi Chen’s gaze became serious.
There were many issues regarding internal affairs.
He had already noticed problems like the tribe’s untidiness and extremely poor hygiene.
Issues such as children’s education, care for the elderly, and how to promote fertility also needed solutions.
However, at the current stage, there weren’t many tribe members in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
These problems did not have a significant impact.
His greatest interest lay in expanding his power and enhancing his talents.
So, he planned to address and change these issues gradually in the future.
The high priest could not see or think of these problems, but Yi Chen felt there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, he was a time traveler, and comparing the Flame Mountain Tribe to society in his past life made the problems clear.
He did not intend to blame the high priest for these matters.
However, the high priest’s actions today crossed his bottom line, forcing him to find a reason to reprimand him.
Having already taken control of the Flame Mountain Tribe and even surpassing the four leaders, he actually thought of relying on recommending women to strengthen and elevate his power.
If it weren’t for the fact that the high priest had done well with the tasks assigned to him before, Yi Chen might have replaced him.
“I understand!”
The high priest lay prostrate on the ground, scared and drenched in cold sweat.
