Chu Xiaoang told Qin Siyang that the military base had been completed.
Qin Siyang couldn't help being amazed by the construction speed of the Chu Legion's construction team.
It had only been a week since Chu Xiaoang's call with him, yet they had already finished building a military base for ten thousand people.
By comparison, the construction site of the Tengfei Group next to South Glory had been banging and clanging away for several months, and it still looked exactly the same as before.
Qin Siyang arranged for Chu Baxing to inspect the military base together with Huo Dangkou, the nominal regimental commander, while he stayed in South Glory and diligently trained at the God Arena.
That day, after finishing his training, Qin Siyang sat in Zhao Longfei's office with his legs crossed and said, "Just look at the efficiency of the Chu Legion's engineering team! Now look at your Tengfei Group!"
"You don't know shit!", Zhao Longfei blew out a ring of smoke, "That construction site is an important operating location for the underground market. There isn't a better place to conduct transactions in Zone 7. How could we possibly finish it? Once it's finished, where are Zone 7's expenses supposed to come from? Are we supposed to drink northwest wind?"
"Fine, fine, I get it."
"Why didn't you go inspect the military base with Chu Baxing? That's your military base. Don't you care about it at all?"
"Ah! There's no point in going. I can't tell one thing from another there anyway. As for whether Chu Xiaoang had the construction team install some kind of surveillance equipment in the military base, don't I have you keeping an eye on things for me? Help me deal with it too."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
Qin Siyang smiled slightly, "Principal Zhao likes to plan everything from behind the scenes and keep an eye on what's happening in the world. How could you possibly not help me keep an eye on the construction site?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I wasn't spying on your military base! Don't throw dirt on me here!"
Qin Siyang shrugged, "I didn't say anything!"
Zhao Longfei snorted, "Praising me on the surface while taking a jab at me under the table. You think I can't tell?"
Qin Siyang laughed, "Anyway, with Principal Zhao keeping watch for me, there shouldn't be any problems. Once the issuance of Crystal Coins stabilizes, I'll have a large fortune in Crystal Coin quotas, and it will be time to open the military base for business."
"It's your business. Just handle it yourself. I'm telling you, Qin Siyang, why have you been coming over here every day lately? Nowhere else to go?"
Qin Siyang sighed, "Old Li and the others are obsessed with research every day, so I don't want to bother them. Chu Baxing went to Area 4444 to inspect the newly completed military base, and Hu Chan went to Area 75 to deal with the Trinity Church. Gu Yunpeng and Zhao Sifang are preparing the announcement for tomorrow's Crystal Coin Plan. Other than training at the God Arena, I really don't have anywhere else to go."
Qin Siyang rubbed his brow, "I spent three hours working hard at the God Arena today. I'm really tired and can't fight anymore, so I came to see you."
After learning from Quan Taibin in the cave two days ago how to turn the divine circular plates into Sequence Potions, Qin Siyang no longer had to rack his brains over how to obtain Sequence Potions.
More than a dozen boxes were filled with the corpses of Doom Octopuses, and the Sequence Potions contained in their circular plates were almost enough for him to establish his own church.
Qin Siyang compared the kowtow method with the peeing method and discovered that there was no difference at all in the amount of Sequence Potions ultimately obtained.
So he chose the faster peeing method to convert them into Sequence Potions.
At the same time, a question jumped up in his mind.
Which method did the Sequence Potions distributed by the United Government come from, the kowtow method or the peeing method?
Whether it was raising a group of people to secretly kowtow or raising a group of people to pee together, just imagining the scene felt a little bizarre.
Or was there some other way to obtain Sequence Potions?
Since he was no longer short of Sequence Potions, he also stayed in the God Arena longer than before.
He hoped to find a way to bring out his potential as soon as possible.
Today, he had come to see Zhao Longfei after his combat training. If there was nothing else, he would go back and rest.
Zhao Longfei asked, "Still fighting the Sacrificial Giant Vine?"
"That's right."
"Any gains?"
Qin Siyang nodded.
Recently, he went to the God Arena every day to explore his combat skills.
Even though he was exceptionally talented, he still firmly believed that perseverance and persistence were more important than a moment of inspiration and luck.
Sweat more during normal times, bleed less in battle. Constantly breaking through his limits and improving himself was the most important guarantee for surviving safely in the apocalypse.
Although he was still far from being able to freely draw on the potential of his entire body, he was already much better than when he had first started, when his movements had been unfamiliar and stiff.
During this process of breaking down and rebuilding himself, Qin Siyang felt that he was gradually grasping an indescribable sensation, as if he were constantly forming some kind of connection with the [Origin Sequence] ability within his body, thereby helping him bring out all of his strength.
And this sensation was something he had never experienced before when he possessed a Sequence ability.
A thought faintly emerged in his mind. The process of forming this mysterious connection with his own [Origin Sequence] was what made awakening an Origin Sequence truly powerful.
Zhao Longfei nodded in satisfaction, then said, "The fact that you're consuming so many Sequence Potions at the God Arena is very likely to attract attention. There is a limit to the number of Sequence Potions exchanged through the United Government. If you consume too many, it's bound to arouse suspicion."
Qin Siyang's gaze became sharp when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Longfei.
Could Zhao Longfei have figured out that he already had a way to obtain large quantities of Sequence Potions without going through the United Government?
Zhao Longfei's expression remained unchanged as he continued in a casual tone, "So you'd better come up with an explanation, so no one can say that you have a large quantity of Sequence Potions from an unknown source."
"Here's what you should do. If anyone asks where your Sequence Potions came from, just say that you obtained the circular plates by hunting gods yourself and exchanged them for the potions, along with the dividends the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce gives you. Those two explanations are enough. Don't say anything else. If someone keeps asking, push it onto the Zhao family. My brother and I will deal with it for you."
After saying that, Zhao Longfei leisurely started smoking his cigar again.
Qin Siyang nodded slightly.
Zhao Longfei had made his point this far. How could Qin Siyang not know that Zhao Longfei had already figured out that he had a way to turn the circular plates into Sequence Potions?
But Zhao Longfei did not spell it out. He only quietly told him what to do and what kind of help he would provide.
Qin Siyang smiled knowingly, "I understand."
"Mm. You need to be more careful about this matter," Seeing that Qin Siyang understood what he meant, Zhao Longfei couldn't help adding a few more words, "Sequence Potions are strictly controlled by the United Government. If you suddenly produce an amount that doesn't match what you should have, it's very easy to attract attention. On top of that, Quan Taibin, the person researching the circular plates, disappeared for no reason. Anyone with ulterior motives might make an issue out of it."
"You should know that there are quite a few people secretly watching you."
Listening to Zhao Longfei's earnest advice, Qin Siyang nodded in agreement, "Mm, I'll remember that. Thank you, Principal Zhao."
Zhao Longfei held the cigarette between his teeth and grinned.
