novelArmored Body Of Light LV7
| ← Ch.158 | Ch.160 → |
Lin Yao could not know what had happened at midnight. In the early morning, by the time the first ray of light shone on the light cocoon through the glass, Lin Yao's physical body had completed its adjustments and he awakened. However, after waking up, Lin Yao was surprised to find that Qin Ya, who had originally only been accompanied by a chauffeur, some assistants, and other personnel, was surrounded by a few middle-aged people in suits and a number of beautiful girls.
"Have I missed something?"
"Of course not. Have a glass of water."
While speaking, Qin Ya handed a glass of water to Lin Yao casually.
"Thank you. Who are you?"
Lin Yao was casual about it as he looked at those successful middle-aged people.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I am from Tianhai Real Estate..."
"I'm from the Haining Foods Limited Company..."
...
The businessmen handed Lin Yao their business cards one by one and quickly introduced themselves. Everyone was talking at once. Lin Yao learned who they were and why they had come. They were businessmen who valued his talent and wanted to invest in him.
Lin Yao felt frustrated about the noise around him. Of course, more importantly, he was too impatient to deal with them. He was more interested in seeing his own changes after his evolution.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao did not talk to them. Instead, he looked at Qin Ya.
"You are right, a famous martial artist really needs a professional manager."
Qin Ya smiled upon hearing his remark.
'I made the right bet. I got here first. '
Lin Yao did not know what was on Qin Ya's mind. He barely smiled as he looked at those successful people."You can talk to my manager about any investments."
"The amount we are going to invest is huge, Mr. Lin..."
Of course, talking with a manager could not satisfy those people. They were more interested in befriending Lin Yao. Therefore, someone approached Lin Yao. Qin Ya stood up before he could finish his sentence."Everyone, my partner is only a student and doesn't know much about business. I am authorized to act as his manager in this regard. I will also do my best to secure the best benefits for my partner. Or do you think it is easier to cheat students who don't understand business?"
"Of course not."
Now that Qin Ya had spoken up, and the businessmen could tell that Lin Yao looked impatient and trusted Qin Ya, they finally stopped speaking.
They had no idea what Qin Ya's relationship with Lin Yao was. If they were in a romantic relationship, it would be even worse to provoke Qin Ya. After all, the power of pillow talk was unimaginable.
The group of successful businessmen quickly retreated, and the beautiful girls who followed them could only leave reluctantly.
Those girls were not dying to get married. In fact, they'd sternly opposed the plan on the journey there. Some of them were even weeping and crying. However, Lin Yao was too handsome.
After he woke up, Lin Yao's figure and appearance had once again been optimized.
His appearance was very lethal for ordinary girls but not very effective for successful, strong career women like Qin Ya, who only cared about work. Everyone left, but Qin Ya did not leave immediately. She closed the door and had a private conversation with Lin Yao.
As she faced Lin Yao, who had become a little more perfect, her expression did not change in the slightest.
"Mr. Lin, do you intend to accept those investments?"
"Of course I will accept them. I need to do a lot of good deeds. The more money, the better."
"You'll accept all of them? I talked to them a little bit at night, and their combined investment amounts to about 500 million yuan."
"500... million yuan... That much?"
To be honest, Lin Yao was shocked. He was not surprised that people wanted to invest in him. In fact, he even knew why those people were there. They must have sensed the light aura and felt that Lin Yao was worth investing in. However, Lin Yao had not expected them to invest such a huge sum in him. 500 million yuan was not a small amount.
In response, Qin Ya had a different view.
"That's not much. You are worth it. This is also their initial investment."
"That's really an honor."
"Oh, you didn't faint from excitement."
"That's because I know that these investments are not for no reason."
Lin Yao was naturally excited when he first heard that he would receive 500 million yuan. However, after this excitement, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he calmed down because of the huge amount.
"Don't accept them all. Check their situation before we decide."
Lin Yao believed that all gifts in life had a secret price.
The bigger the investment, the more they'd want to get from Lin Yao.
Of course, Lin Yao was not overly afraid of the consequences. He already knew what they wanted, and that was his future.
After his development, he would be powerful enough to shelter them, and they would spend money so that he could develop as soon as possible. This was a win-win situation, and Lin Yao was also willing to accept the deal.
However, this did not mean he would accept all of the investments. Besides, it was inappropriate to rashly accept a large amount of money.
Even though he was looking for investments, Lin Yao had to discover the background of those people. If some merchants were involved in corruption and crime, he would be in trouble.
Besides, he was not prepared to accept too much money in one go. If he owed too many people a favor, and they broke the law in the future and asked for his help, should he save them or not?
Plus, what should he do if they sent their children to him so that he could teach them?
Even if there were no such trivial matters, what if the city was in danger and they wanted him to help or invited him to patrol the city? All this would be very time-consuming.
Of course, Lin Yao was willing to do this, but he could not spend too much time on it. Otherwise, he would not have time to cultivate in the future.
One could not treat the favors they owed others lightly.
Qin Ya breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his cautious attitude."You didn't let me down. Don't worry, leave this to me. I will make sure that it is settled properly."
Qin Ya sat on the chair in the room, signaled for Lin Yao to sit down, and said, "What is the upper limit of the amount you are willing to accept at this stage?"
"100 million yuan."
This was the answer that Lin Yao gave after thinking about it for a long time. The reason he would accept an investment of 100 million yuan was mainly because he needed a lot of money. This large sum of money would allow Lin Yao to help the poor or ordinary children more, and he felt that, given his current talent, he'd be able to bear 100 million yuan of debt.
"Although 100 million yuan is a large sum, they still can't threaten me with this amount. If anything comes up here, I can find someone from another area to top up the money."
Lin Yao was not being arrogant. He could sense that the high-level officials in Ninghai City considered him very valuable. It would not take too long for him to fully unleash his talent and return the 100 million yuan.
Worst-case scenario, he would completely devote himself to the government or the military. Lin Yao did not believe that a merchant in a small city was capable of influencing the government or the military.
"I understand."
Now that she knew Lin Yao's bottom line, Qin Ya was ready to go out. However, she had barely taken two steps when Lin Yao spoke up.
"Wait a minute. When you talk to them, tell them that we accept but we need to think about it. We also need to discuss this when signing a contract with them."
Qin Ya looked somewhat helpless upon hearing his words.
"This is the basic quality of a professional manager. I will not override you and make decisions on important matters."
"Uh, is that so... Also, tell them that I borrowed the money. Help me set up a charity organization similar to Project Hope[1], which will find poor children around Ninghai City and provide them with supplies and support so that they can go to school and grow up with peace of mind. Invest the entire 100 million yuan into this charity organization."
After several days of busy work, Lin Yao understood that money could really make a lot of things happen, and this also made him realize that doing things through an organization was more efficient than doing things alone.
Therefore, he planned to set up a non-profit organization that focused on helping children to gather energy.
"Invest the entire 100 million yuan into the organization? Aren't you going to leave some aside to buy medicine, training materials, and other things?"
"Put it all in. I'm not short of training materials. As far as the medicine is concerned, the investment quota you gave me hasn't been used up. 10 million yuan is enough for me."
"It's 30 million yuan now."
Qin Ya smiled when she saw the surprised look on Lin Yao's face.
"Your talent can be improved, and I am even more optimistic about your future."
"I know this is considered an additional investment."
Qin Ya nodded. Seeing that Lin Yao had nothing more to add, she stepped out of the room with sharp eyes to have an "intimate" meeting with the businessmen.
Lin Yao had a lot of faith in Qin Ya's abilities, so he left the task of communicating with the people outside to her. Lin Yao finally had time to look inwardly at himself and see the changes in his Sea of Consciousness.
When he first entered the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yao discovered that the biggest change was that the Celestial Tree was almost 10 times taller than the Tree of Heaven Punishment across from it. Nine-tenths of the area was the Celestial Tree's domain.
Although the Celestial Tree had only improved by one level, it was already 10 times larger than the tree opposite it. This might seem abnormal, but if one thought about it, it would make a lot of sense. After all, the Tree of Heaven Punishment had only spent a little more than 10, 000 grams of energy since it had been planted and had grown to its present size. As for the Celestial Tree, it took 100, 000 grams of energy for it to advance from silver to gold. One really got what one paid for. After he'd spent so much energy, the Celestial Tree was naturally much bigger than the Tree of Heaven Punishment.
In addition to feeling the huge size of the Celestial Tree, the second thing in the Sea of Consciousness that attracted Lin Yao's attention was the sleeping angelic holy infant in the center of the Celestial Tree.
Although the golden halo above its head was still very small, it had a sense of sacredness to it. Lin Yao could feel that his body and mind were connected to it, and he could even integrate it into his body. This was not an illusion.
'Angels are energy creatures. If I integrate them into my body, that will be considered Angel's Descent. '
As Lin Yao looked at the angelic holy infant and the Celestial Tree, an information panel appeared on the Celestial Tree's body, where Lin Yao's various information was inscribed in detail. Lin Yao could clearly see his changes from above.
After studying the panel carefully, Lin Yao noticed that there were not many changes in other areas, except for a few skills related to the Celestial Tree that had undergone tremendous changes.
One of them was the Armored Body Of Light. After an advancement, Lin Yao's Armored Body Of Light had gone from Level 4 to Level 7.
The seventh-level Armored Body Of Light resulted in a 210% bonus for all of Lin Yao's attributes. In addition to this, there were also huge improvements in other areas.
[Armored Body Of Light LV7: The host now has the ability to absorb sunlight (LV MAX) and store it in his cells. The host can use the stored sunlight to replace energy, physical strength, and energy consumption. At the same time, when there is an abundance of sunlight in the host's cells, the host will obtain the talents of Light Healing (high-level), Light Purification (high-level), Body of Light (high-level, full 210% bonus for all attributes), and Light Adjustment (high-level). ]
[Note: The host's sunlight absorption has reached LV MAX, which is the peak. It can absorb most of the power of the sun and obtain the Sun God Pattern (LV7) ability. The energy stored in the seventh-level Sun God Pattern takes up seven times the storage of the host's body. ]
[1] Project Hope is a Chinese public service project organized by the China Youth Development Foundation and the Communist Youth League Central Committee.
