Chapter 2410: Chapter 2402: Lavish and Magnanimous
"You make it sound like I can’t get reimbursed," Professor Guan retorted directly, expressing his dissatisfaction, "Your affiliated hospital of the Military Medical University is still some way away from the top level of our social hospitals."
While Professor Guan and others were arguing, Feng Jun was studying the broken stone tablet.
The stone tablet wasn’t actually large, somewhat resembling a hitching post, twenty centimeters wide, ten centimeters thick, and about forty centimeters tall. The entire stone tablet was ancient and heavy, with a long and distant aura emanating from it.
The height of the stone tablet should have been more than this, as the bottom half was broken. There was an unclear character on it, which roughly seemed to be "Huang." At the break point below, there was a dot in the center, and it was impossible to guess what was below.
Feng Jun pondered for a long time and deduced for a while, ultimately unable to figure out what it was, so he furrowed his brow, "It feels like a broken Magical Treasure, but there’s vaguely some Dao Rhyme... Could it be something above a Magical Treasure?"
He felt it couldn’t be above a Magical Treasure. If it were, it would have already alarmed the Guardian, right?
But then, thinking again, a Guardian is at least a Tribulation Transcending Might; even if it’s a True Artifact used by a Nascent Soul, it might not impress him, right?
Anyway, he felt embarrassed to bother the Guardian with this matter, so he could only analyze it by himself.
However, after analyzing repeatedly, he still couldn’t make sense of it, and three days had already passed. Professor Guan found that Auntie’s white blood cells were steadily increasing and began preparing to let the old lady receive nanobot care.
Feng Jun felt there was nothing much else to do, so he thought of returning to White Pebble Beach, leading people to continue to the Insect World—the Bidirectional Gate was always open, and messages from the opposite side kept coming. It was said that there were already over a hundred Golden Core Masters at White Pebble Beach wanting to go to the Insect World.
At this moment, Sofia transmitted from Australia.
Since becoming Feng Jun’s woman and learning the secrets of the Kunhao Domain, she acted particularly uninhibited, coming and going as she pleased, more carefree than most of the Luohua Disciples.
This time was no different; she boldly declared, "Boss, Avril has transcended the mundane. She wants to make a pilgrimage to the Xiuzhen Courtyard; do you think it’s appropriate?"
"Pilgrimage to the Xiuzhen Courtyard?" Feng Jun found himself unable to comprehend, so he straightforwardly rejected it, "This isn’t a place for Incense Fire Ascension; you’ve got the wrong idea."
"Shouldn’t she be given some hope?" Sofia replied, leisurely, "With only the two of us cultivating Incense Fire Ascension, she feels uneasy and wants to find a few companions."
Feng Jun could very much understand Avril’s thoughts. When he first arrived in the Kunhao Realm, he thought the same—he didn’t know what he was cultivating, but he wanted at least to match others.
This is a kind of herd mentality; you can’t say it’s wrong. Feng Jun thought for a moment, nodded slightly, "Alright then, let’s see how her cultivation is coming along, but don’t stay too long."
The next moment, Sofia brought Avril over, the coordinates next to Luohua Valley Bamboo Forest.
Not far away, Shen Qingyi was also cultivating. She glanced at them and shook her head wryly, thinking that this inclusive teaching style even allowed Foreign Races to cultivate, and it was the Incense Fire Ascension too—didn’t they know this method improves rapidly?
As a Kunlun Disciple, she could not only see the opponent’s cultivation level of Qi Refining Second Layer but also sense the other’s approach.
However, she didn’t bother to say anything. Luohua was now overpowering Kunlun comprehensively, and Feng Jun had become the only Golden Core Master of the Earth Realm. What he did was beyond her judgment.
Feng Jun released his Divine Sense to feel and indeed found it was pure Incense Fire Ascension energy, without Keane’s kind of chaotic emotion, knowing she didn’t veer off, and incidentally applied a bit of pressure.
Feng Jun seldom releases pressure; the fleeting aura could be tolerated by others, but Avril’s legs almost went soft, nearly sitting down, feeling as if she was being stared at by a fierce beast, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.
Fortunately, this feeling came quickly and went quickly. She steadied herself and looked at Sofia, "Sophie, this is... what is this?"
"Boss’s aura," Sofia answered nonchalantly. She didn’t feel much pressure—having reached Qi Refining Fifth Layer—so if she were affected, few in the manor could withstand it. "Alright, I’ll take you to the Xiuzhen Courtyard."
Beauty Lin saw Sofia again bringing out a white girl, and the expression on her face was really as strange as it could be, but she couldn’t say anything, only sulkily said, "Facial recognition, I need her information within half an hour."
Feng Jing also knew Sofia was bringing people in, so she didn’t stop them, allowing them to tour the courtyard. However, there were still a few Daoist Sect disciples suspiciously watching the two white women.
Feng Jun saw her apply for a housing unit that day, so he went on a trip to Chaoyang, inspected the newly acquired mountains, and visited his parents.
The next day, he returned to Luohua, and Yang Yuxin spoke, "That white cell inducer, do you have much on hand? The feedback is quite good, and they want to purchase a batch."
Feng Jun frowned slightly, "There is indeed, but... is it very useful?"
"The market isn’t exceptionally large, but it’s not small either," Yang Yuxin replied softly, "The main thing is this stuff can be used as soon as you get it, I don’t think it will affect your strategic layout."
"Then I’ll give you a portion," Feng Jun agreed with her view, as circulating this kind of finished medicine wouldn’t be a significant problem, "By the way, young people should use it sparingly."
"Young people have stimulating drugs, and not just one kind," Yang Yuxin wasn’t well-versed in medicine, but when others asked her to buy things, they always explained the related details to her, "This medicine is mainly for the elderly... I’ve heard it speeds up cell aging?"
"That’s right," Feng Jun nodded, "This medicine is actually quite terrifying, but since Earth’s human lifespan hasn’t reached its limit, it’s not too concerning."
He gave Yang Yuxin ten thousand tablets, then went directly to Xingzheng Star in the Insect World. Sensing around, he found no one was summoning him through the blood mark, so he made a circuit around Hesheng’s vicinity.
Recently, He Runxian was quite busy, mainly because Hesheng was suddenly flush with supplies, an undeniable message that spread out, attracting some business friends who came one after another.
Director He firmly denied it, but it was no use, Zuo Jing City received a large donation of pharmaceuticals, a fact they couldn’t possibly keep secret—what was troublesome is, Zuo Jing directly published the news to boost public confidence.
They didn’t say who donated it, but for those with an interest, it was too easy to find out.
Initially, those who came to find Hesheng were mostly looking for favors, but later, they were affluent individuals, even far stronger than Hesheng, starting with, "We have a large batch of materials in XXX, just get it here and take half!"
Such people speaking to Hesheng in this manner, there was no doubt they were certainly not to be trifled with.
Later on, the profit share inched up day by day. By now, the notably extravagant Federation Development Bank had offered a ninety percent share—"I’ll give you a million tons of goods, and you just need to get a hundred thousand tons delivered!"
He Runxian was quite startled, not because the reward was too high, but because the Development Bank had a rather complex background.
This bank was initially initiated by the Expansion Legion, aimed at raising funds for the Human Race’s expansion outward, somewhat akin to war bonds, and later grew into a massive bank as humanity advanced further.
From its inception, this bank was incredibly aggressive, and given its ties to the pioneering planet, all sorts of overt and covert methods were inevitable. Among its shareholders, there are influential corporations and forces from the gray zones.
The scale of Hesheng wasn’t in the same league as this giant, and although He Family was a local power on Xingzheng Star, they dared not deny face to the other side. What startled He Runxian most was: Didn’t the Development Bank even have broker channels?
It’s worth noting that recently, the Seventh Legion bought weapons from the front-line brokers funded by the Development Bank, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
So the question arose, if even the Development Bank couldn’t find a way, yet Hesheng found a solution, what does that imply?
He Runxian truly dared not think too deeply, he could only call Mr. Broker thrice daily at fixed times.
Feng Jun came by for a quick circuit, he had other plans, but was not in a hurry to execute them. His main intent was to visit the Big Planet once more and then plan to return to the Void to pick people up.
However, since this person was calling him persistently, ignoring it seemed inappropriate, so he decided to settle matters here first, "What’s up? Calling me constantly, do you really think the military’s encrypted handset can’t be cracked?"
He Runxian had a lot to say, but eventually expressed, "I wanted to discuss with you, when is the next shipment?"
"Isn’t it supposed to only be produced once a month?" Feng Jun lazily replied, "You’re so eager to find me, what do you want to say?"
He Runxian hesitated for a moment before asking, "I wanted to ask if you had any connection with the Development Bank?"
"Not familiar," Feng Jun bluntly replied, "Speak clearly, don’t be wishy-washy, don’t you want the energy stones?"
So it’s just about helping transport two shipments? He Runxian felt a little disappointed, they initially agreed on transporting twice, but he vaguely felt there might be room for negotiation. Seeing the firm stance of the other party now, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
But upon reflecting on some speculations, his spirits were lifted again, "Outside the galaxy, a supply ship from the Development Bank has arrived. They hope someone can help transport it over, they only require ten percent of all goods to reach Xingzheng Star... the other ninety percent is transportation fee."
"Can they bear a ninety percent loss?" Feng Jun was taken aback but immediately understood, "Transport losses during war are incalculable, and ninety percent isn’t too much, especially considering I might also lose transport equipment and lives."
"Heh," He Runxian didn’t know what to say, he could only let out a bitter laugh, but both clearly understood: When Feng Jun transported goods from Hesheng Headquarters, there wasn’t a single loss.
