Ren Ye arrived at the high-rising building surrounded by many magnificent infrastructures, making him feel as though he was transported into a science fiction novel.
The building in front of him stood high, towering over others. Ren Ye raised his head to observe the building before noticing a statue situated in front of the building.
It was a bronze statue of a man in scholar robes from ancient times.
The man was holding a book by his chest as his face looked out the city and onto the mountain in the distance.
What was truly magnificent about the building was it was a real historical figure.
Driver Yan dropped them off in front of the building, he came over and joined Ren Ye and Gong Fan. Upon seeing the dazed looks on both of their faces, he couldn't help but boast about his master's family.
"This old sir is my master's ancestor. He was one of the country's best scholars who sought out divine wisdom and taught them to his followers."
Interestingly, my client came from a lineage of scholars. I am a bit unsure if he lives up to the expectation of his ancestor with his ways of spending money.
"Eventually, his descendants stopped continuously studying, believing knowledge was infinite and complex to comprehend the whole. They turned to business and opened a paper-making company."
"Producing 30% of the country's paper, including school accessories and toilet papers. They have many businesses and franchises under their name."
Driver Yan spoke with a prideful face.
Gong Fan tapped the ground with his cane, he remarked coolly, "No wonder he is a carefree man with his man."
Ren Ye lowered his head and entered the building, he was greeted by a line of welcomers. They were dressed professionally and gracefully, wearing black skirts and red blouses.
Complimenting their company's logo, which was red and white with the name 'Ma' on them.
Ren Ye nodded his head calmly and didn't budge an eye to their attractiveness. Gong Fan followed one of the ladies and gestured for Ren Ye to follow along.
As soon as Ren Ye took a step on the elevator, he felt a chilling sensation behind his back. It was as though he was going up the building and eventually entering a tiger's den.
The feeling was dark and sensual, causing Ren Ye to tremble unconsciously.
"Mm, this sensation."
Old Yi spoke quietly inside Ren Ye's head as Gong Fan appeared casual and didn't notice anything odd happening. Ren Ye felt he was stepping on needles at this moment.
The area was covered in darkness and gloominess as Ren Ye felt his chest suddenly throb from the intensity of the sensation. Old Yi sent a shock through his spine and knocked him out of his thoughts.
"Don't lose yourself right now, you haven't gotten to the spirit yet and you're already losing the battle."
"What are we going to do?"
Ren Ye forcibly relaxed and frowned.
"Identify the Spirit first."
Ren Ye nodded his head and decided to use his senses to find traces of the Spirit. He didn't think his abilities would work but he definitely would want to make it work.
[Ability]
[Teleportation]
[Shapeshifting]
[Super Strength]
[Agility]
He opened his abilities and tried to find a way to deal with the Spirit. Almost everything he had was useless, he truly felt his system was being stingy with him.
"Use the revolver," Old Yi advised him, "I believe there are bullets targeting spirits."
Ren Ye raised his head slightly and had his inventory window open in case he felt he was being threatened.
Old Yi hummed softly and appeared to be deep in his thoughts.
Ren Ye immediately remembered something in his head, "Didn't you say Ice was able to cleanse evils? Is it possible to use it to eliminate the Spirit?"
Old Yi snapped his fingers, "Ah, right!"
"Use the Ice Entrancing Potion from your inventory and infuse them with your weapon of choice."
Ren Ye suddenly had an idea and turned to inform Old Yi in an amusing tone, "I carry poison and needles with me all the time. I'll infuse the needles into the Ice Entrancing Potion."
"How long is the duration before the potion loses its vitality?"
"10 mins."
Old Yi continued in a low tone, "It goes warm and loses its vitality, you should be quick with what you do. Although it is an Ice potion, you can't rely on its ability to stay cold forever."
Ren Ye nodded his head, listening carefully to what Old Yi was telling him.
"I am ready then."
The elevator suddenly stopped and it shook slightly, Ren Ye thought it was going to fall on the ground. The elevator door slowly opened, and a gush of air slammed into his fair face.
The smell was horrendous.
Despite it being cleaned many times, Ren Ye was able to smell the tiny particles left behind. It was extremely pungent and moist, making him want to gag.
Ren Ye controlled his expression from showing his disgust as Gong Fan appeared rather casual and left the elevator.
"It leaks of corpse and death."
Old Yi remarked with much disgust in his tone, "Who would do such a thing?"
Ren Ye has read the forum online about the case of Ma Corp. It was rumored that the CEO of the Ma Corp was convicted of murder and attempted to hide a body inside his office.
What a pity. If he was smart, he would have sent someone to kill and hide for him. He wouldn't have to kill or hide the body of his victim…
He felt the netizens lack common sense as they believed the rumor too quickly. After all, the rumored culprit came from a family of scholars and eventually became powerful businessmen.
Ren Ye snorted softly and pitied the young man.
A figure dressed in a white costume slowly opened his room and waved his hands toward Ren Ye and his team, Ren Ye was unable to see the man's face due to the cover but he was able to differentiate the man's expression.
The man was panicking very much as his body was shaking from excitement from seeing him.
Ma Zheng felt he had seen heaven for the first time as he saw a handsome man with extreme coldness emitting from him and an old man beside him, whom he considered a friend right now.
The aloof man in front of him watched him with almost disdain, Ma Zheng felt slightly ashamed of himself in front of him and couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Ren Ye noticed Ma Zheng felt slightly intimidated by him.
[Ding!]
Suddenly a green exclamation mark appeared above Ma Zheng's head as it floated over him.
[Transmigrator Identified!]
Almost suddenly, Ren Ye felt defensive and lowered his gaze onto Ma Zheng, believing he was an evil transmigrator.
[Ma Zheng]
[Past Identity: Tycoon]
[Information: born in the Materialist Universe where one's status is based on how much money one earns and how much one invests. Monopolies are commonly practiced and every citizen owned more than two companies.]
[Ma Zheng was one of the poorest tycoons in his universe and died after he was robbed at a gas station and shot by a coin bullet. He was reborn into the young master and newly elected CEO of Ma Corp after being accidentally elected by his family as a joke.]
[His current system is the Tycoon System]
[Trait: Lawful Good]
"…"
Ren Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry after reading his biography, feeling even more pity for the man. He felt a bit ashamed just now for planning to kill him on spot.
Good thing, he was a good person, judging from the ratings of the system.
Ma Zheng watched anxiously as the angry man in front of him suddenly stopped grimacing and lowered his volume of coldness. Ren Ye raised his eyes and stared at Ma Zheng calmly, he smiled casually at Ma Zheng.
Ma Zheng felt dumbfounded and returned an awkward smile.
Gong Fan tapped the ground with his cane, making a thudding noise as he smiled at Ma Zheng with a wrinkled smile.
"Good to see you again, I bought you a special guest today who will be able to deal with the plague that has been worrying you these past few days."
Gong Fan pointed toward Ren Ye with his cane, squinting his eyes and smiling casually.
"…"
"He may be able to find the one who caused you all of these troubles."
"…"
Ren Ye felt this old man was boosting in a passive-aggressive manner as his features twitched constantly. He nodded his head toward Ma Zheng who still retained a distance from him.
Ma Zheng felt this man was extremely unapproachable of his looks and from his past life, he had learned an extremely painful lesson; never approach those who do not want to be approached or else you may not end up in a good place.
Ren Ye was thinking of the opposite thing as he tried to come up with a way to make Ma Zheng and him be on good terms. Although he didn't like being close to strangers at first, wanting to keep a mysterious air.
He believed it was an extremely beneficial thing to exchange his knowledge with his money.
After all, they were on the same coin but on opposite sides.
I may need to use him for money, mmm.
As soon as he was done scheming, he felt an intimidating and dark aura cover them. He immediately straightened his back with a grave expression. He turned his head to look behind Ma Zheng.
Old Yi pointed out loudly inwardly, "There!"
A dark shadowy aura was spreading from there as Old Yi informed him in a rushed tone, "Its head is there."
Old Yi was the only person who was able to see as Ren Ye was completely clueless.
