Chapter 60: The Reason for the Little Gold Ball’s Stay
"Alright! As I expected, the scheme of beauty has failed."
"Not just a failure, Hai Lan has almost been cast into the cold palace, labeled as never to be favored again."
"Yi Chen directly handed her over to Guli."
The audience in the live room sighed continuously.
If you asked who in the Flame Mountain Tribe didn’t like Hai Lan, undoubtedly, the first to dislike her would definitely be Guli.
As the most beautiful woman in the Flame Mountain Tribe, Guli enjoyed an extraordinary special status.
Then, suddenly, a woman appeared, whose looks were comparable to hers, and who was also talented in many ways, making it hard for the tribe’s men to resist her charm.
Guli certainly felt unhappy in her heart.
She naturally looked down on Hai Lan.
When she learned that Hai Lan had even tried to get close to Yi Chen, her frustration grew.
It’s worth noting that Guli also admired Yi Chen.
Now, with Hai Lan falling into Guli’s hands as a rival, how could Guli let this opportunity slip away?
Yi Chen’s punishment was truly harsh and decisive.
"I really can’t understand why the scheme of beauty failed and was met with such severe punishment."
"That’s why you’re not the greatest genius in the history of humanity."
"I’ve said it before; Yi Chen’s thoughts are beyond what ordinary people can guess. As soon as I heard you say the success rate was full, 100%, I knew it was unlikely to succeed."
"Sigh, with Hai Lan’s failure, not only does she have little hope left, but it also makes things much harder for those who come after her."
"We can only go with the flow and see if others have better methods."
The audience in the live room quickly felt relieved.
In a sense, Yi Chen’s contribution to humanity also raised the quality of human nature.
Because of his repeatedly unexpected attitude, all of humanity faced disappointment.
And once the frequency of disappointment increases, the ability to bear it grows as well.
…
Yiyao Group Headquarters Building.
In the chairman’s office.
Looking at the plans that had almost succeeded, Hai Lan.
Bang!
Chairman Lian Zhancheng angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand.
"Useless, truly useless!"
Lian Zhancheng exploded with rage.
The red wine was all prepared, just waiting for celebration after success.
He never expected that Hai Lan’s proactive approach would fail, and so completely.
It left him feeling foolish for getting his hopes up.
During this time, he had felt particularly lucky, as if the heavens were helping him.
He spent a tremendous cost to send two fake heavy criminals to the exile planet.
One of them was surprisingly dropped directly onto the Flame Mountain.
Moreover, that person was the only one dropped on the Flame Mountain.
Such luck was simply unbeatable.
The Federal Parliament was surprisingly lenient about the early transport of heavy criminals to the exile planet.
However, in the areas that were strict, they were impossibly strict, with no room for negotiation no matter the cost.
For example, arranging for people to sneak in among the heavy criminals was utterly unguarded.
Background checks were ignored completely.
As long as one was willing to spend money, arrangements could be made.
Even allowing hackers to invade the intelligence of the warships, modify various video data, and enable heavy criminals to carry special items, all went unchallenged.
Lian Zhancheng even suspected that the parliament didn’t check for spies among the Various Races, allowing those spies to blend in as heavy criminals.
Strangely, the strict areas were also exceedingly rigorous.
First of all, the heavy criminals must have no strength and can’t carry lethal weapons.
This regulation went through multiple layers of scrutiny.
Each wave of checks followed another, leaving no loopholes to be found.
No amount of money would be of any help here.
Furthermore, the release of heavy criminals was fully random, controlled by the intelligence.
Any hacker attempting to infiltrate the system to change the random drop locations faced massive retaliation from countless hackers.
Being dropped directly onto the Flame Mountain, one could imagine the level of luck involved.
The fake heavy criminal closest to Yi Chen would undoubtedly be the first to succeed.
After all, everyone saw Yi Chen as coming from the wild world, lacking any experience in scheming and investing all his energy in training and creating new skills, making him an unguarded target.
As long as one got close to Yi Chen, success was guaranteed.
Whoever was nearest to Yi Chen would be the one to succeed first.
The last time Yi Chen ignored Hai Lan’s flute playing had already left Lian Zhancheng feeling it was incredible.
What he never expected was that Hai Lan’s proactive move would fail once again.
Moreover, she was even cast into the cold palace.
"Damn it, can someone really grasp the art of scheming without a teacher?"
Lian Zhancheng couldn’t understand.
After thinking it over, he believed the main reason for Hai Lan’s failure was that Yi Chen saw through her intentions.
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.
It can’t be that Yi Chen is uninterested in women, right?
Since Yi Chen also shows no interest in men, the chances of that are almost zero.
What he can’t understand is how Yi Chen, with no experience in this area, could see through Hai Lan’s intentions at a glance and decisively make such a choice.
But no matter whether he can comprehend it or not, the facts are clear.
He spent a huge cost to send two heavy criminals to the exile planet, and one of them has already been rendered useless.
And it happened at the moment when there was the greatest hope.
If not for having weathered countless storms, Lian Zhancheng could have been so furious he would have spat blood.
……
Flame Mountain Tribe.
News spread that Hai Lan was punished severely for secretly bothering Yi Chen.
The entire tribe was in an uproar.
If even a stunning beauty can be heavily punished for a small matter, what about the others?
The tribe members’ awe of Yi Chen grew even stronger.
As for Yi Chen himself, he had long since pushed this matter to the back of his mind and continued to focus on comprehending the laws of nature.
The only thing that caught his attention was his unexpected discovery that the Little Gold Ball was absorbing spirit energy and, after reaching level 10 peak, began to absorb the spirit power from his Qi Sea.
This made him vaguely understand why the Little Gold Ball, after being killed by him twice, still clung to him so relentlessly.
Despite its wild and untamed nature, why could it endure loneliness and remain by his side?
It seemed that the Little Gold Ball regarded him as a kind of host.
Much like many fierce beasts, after being born, it viewed the first living creature it saw as its greatest support and family.
In Yi Chen’s speculation, this Little Gold Ball is definitely an incredibly powerful fierce beast.
This was evident from its high intelligence even in the youth stage.
At first, the Little Gold Ball likely discovered his presence by instinct or powerful perception.
Then it chose him as a host, absorbing the spirit power from his Qi Sea as its energy source.
With an energy source established, the Little Gold Ball could then absorb the spirit energy from the world to increase its strength.
Once it reached a certain level, it would need to absorb spirit power from his Qi Sea to replenish its energy source.
The fact that the Little Gold Ball showed no interest in the spirit power of other tribe members suggested that whoever it chose first would become the sole energy source in the future.
Because of this, the Little Gold Ball could endure loneliness and control its temper while staying by Yi Chen’s side.
If it did not have Yi Chen, its strength would stagnate once it reached a certain point and it would be unable to improve further.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Yi Chen.
It meant that not only would he have a subject to study the laws of life, but he would also have a pet with a high strength ceiling that was utterly loyal.
The only trouble was that the Little Gold Ball would eventually need to absorb his spirit power as it grew.
For others, this could pose a significant risk.
After all, the Little Gold Ball’s training speed was extremely fast, and the spirit power it needed would inevitably keep rising.
There might come a time when the Little Gold Ball’s speed of absorbing spirit power could exceed his own training speed.
But Yi Chen had no such concerns.
No matter how high the talent limit of the Little Gold Ball is, it could never surpass him, the strongest among humanity.
Not to mention, his own talent could increase rapidly.
Currently, his talent was close to doubling.
While others might worry about the Little Gold Ball’s high talent limit, Yi Chen only hoped that the higher the talent limit of the Little Gold Ball, the better.
