From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Because the Demon King of the Abyss World might descend to the Human World.

The finger of Evil God Barton once appeared in the Human World, almost resurrecting this evil deity on Blue Star.

With the current combat power of superpower users in the Human World, they are still unable to resist a Demon King.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment, then pursued further: "Which conglomerate is it?"

Ke Yiming smiled and said, "This is intelligence that can only be shared after becoming allies."

The intelligence he mentioned is indeed valuable, but it depends on what he wants before deciding whether to accept it.

"What do you want?" Lu Heng directly asked about his intentions.

Ke Yiming said earnestly, "Our goal is very simple, we want to enter Quenching Castle."

Lu Heng replied succinctly, "As long as you schedule with the Flame Emblem and there are no identity issues, everyone has a chance to enter Quenching Castle."

Ke Yiming added, "You should understand what I mean, our Liwei Mercenary Group wants to enter Quenching Castle via collaboration.

"Of course, we will adhere to the rules of Quenching Castle. If there's anything non-compliant, you can stop the cooperation at any time.

"We just want to obtain a chance to enter Quenching Castle for quenching, forging, and other business cooperation opportunities."

His meaning is already very clear, he wants to become a second "Flame Emblem."

Currently, the only channel to enter Quenching Castle is through the Flame Emblem.

All quenching masters who wish to use the Quenching Furnace must register with the Flame Emblem and then make a reservation.

According to the current reservation situation, it would take about half a month to get a turn.

Not only the quenching business but the scheduling for forging and engraving businesses is also managed by the Flame Emblem.

Therefore, whether quenching masters, forging masters, and engravers can enter Quenching Castle is entirely up to the Flame Emblem.

This power is very significant, one could say it grips the lifeline of superpower users' weapon enhancement.

Ke Yiming's request is clearly to become the second Flame Emblem.

However, the intelligence he provided to gain such immense benefits seems disproportionate.

Ke Yiming seems to understand this point as well, so he continued to add, "Of course, the specific cooperation plans can still be discussed further. Regardless of establishing a new company or cooperating in other ways, all are negotiable.

"I think registering a studio will suffice; the studio's equity can still be primarily held by Mr. Lu, and the Liwei Mercenary Group can take as much as you want, even if it's only 10%.

"Of course, I understand what Mr. Lu is worried about, you surely think this is to make a second Flame Emblem.

"Actually, there are some things you might not know, the Flame Emblem has encountered some internal issues precisely because there's no competition.

"Some quenching masters, despite their talent and ability, have had their quenching appointments indefinitely delayed due to discord with certain management of the Flame Emblem.

"Moreover, some quenching masters who have personal relationships with the management often engage in queue-jumping appointments.

"And because the Flame Emblem has no competitors, the management of this company operates unrestrainedly.

"If this continues for long, problems will eventually arise.

"So, establishing a second Flame Emblem is not a bad thing.

"If you establish a studio, with you still holding the largest share, it'll still be your Flame Emblem, even if it's a second one.

"If you find it unsuitable, you can terminate it at any time; all decisions are up to you, and there will be no issues that cannot be resolved."

When Lu Heng heard the drawbacks of the Flame Emblem he mentioned, he looked very serious.

The Flame Emblem has been established for a year, undergoing several major changes during that period.

The issues he mentioned, Lu Heng hadn't heard of before, but since he's bold enough to mention them, they're likely true.

After all, lying about such things would easily fall apart without any benefits.

Ke Yiming further added, "Actually, if Mr. Lu truly wants the external business of Quenching Castle to develop healthily, the best way is to increase more competing companies.

"One Flame Emblem is not enough, then two, if two aren't enough, then three.

"Competition fosters motivation for progress.

"Currently, the power given to the Flame Emblem is too great, to the extent that some people inside have become arrogant."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied calmly, "Alright, thank you for the reminder, I will consider what you have said."

Ke Yiming knew that it was impossible to achieve his objectives in one meeting, so he got up promptly to shake hands: "Alright, it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Lu is more talkative than I anticipated. Here's my contact information, feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Lu Heng accepted the business card offered to him and gestured towards the door to see him out.

When they reached the door, Ke Yiming waved back, "No need to see me off, thank you Mr. Lu for spending so much time with me."

Just then, Lu Heng suddenly asked, "What level are you at now?"

"Uh..."

Ke Yiming hesitated for a moment, "Source Energy Level? Level 45."

Lu Heng continued asking, "What's your class?"

"[Lawbreaker], Third Transition, is there something Mr. Lu wants to know?" Ke Yiming replied truthfully.

"Nothing really, just curious." Lu Heng smiled slightly as he saw him off from Quenching Castle.

...

Because this person's fourth transition class in a past life was [Death God's Deputy], Lu Heng wanted to confirm his current class, which is why he asked the final question.

Generally, if a superpower user does not actively use their class ability, it's difficult to detect what class they belong to.

Lu Heng couldn't possibly drag him to a lab for testing, so he chose to directly ask.

Judging by the other party's tone and demeanor in his response, he likely wasn't lying.

When he answered the Source Energy Level and the class, his demeanor and reaction were the same.

For superpower users, the Source Energy Level does not need to be kept secret, as perceivers can analyze approximate energy level strength through energy waves, hiding it is impossible.

Since his responses to the two questions were consistent, they should both be true.

The butterfly wings flapped again; in this life, Ke Yiming in August of the second year of the Abyss Era has not obtained the fourth transition class.

Actually, there's another thing that Lu Heng finds a bit strange.

Ke Yiming should be the strongest superpower soldier in the Liwei Mercenary Group, there aren't many superpower users who have reached level 45 at this time point.

Generally speaking, superpower users with peak combat power would spend all their time boosting their combat power, while commercial negotiations are usually entrusted to others.

Yet this person personally came to discuss cooperation, which is indeed a bit peculiar.

...

After Ke Yiming left, Lu Heng issued a notice to gather the Flame Emblem management for a meeting.

Whether what Ke Yiming said is true or not, an internal investigation of the Flame Emblem is necessary.

As for whether to establish a second or third Flame Emblem in the future, that's a matter for later; right now, the issue with the Flame Emblem itself needs to be resolved.

Currently, half of the Flame Emblem's shares have already been handed over to the state, so management is progressively arranging official personnel.

If there are problems found within the Flame Emblem, involving possible corruption, Lu Heng does not need to personally investigate; by raising the issue, there will naturally be someone to investigate.

If any problems are detected, regardless of who it is, they will handle it impartially.
