NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190: Lingmiao Company
However, when Lin Guang looked into those emerald green eyes filled with obvious recollections, it was clear that this matter wasn't so simple.
Before understanding her true reasons, Lin Guang couldn't bring himself to ask for more from his teacher with a clear conscience.
At this moment, the television started broadcasting related overseas news.
The host's calm and fluent voice came from the television.
"Imperial Capital time, exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the task force made up of third-year students from Longteng University has already set off for Great Yue to quell the current Demon Race invasion event."
"According to reports from the frontline, this Demon Race invasion occurred approximately two days ago, with about five thousand invaders. Currently, 'Hanoi City' has already fallen, with casualties exceeding eight hundred thousand people."
"According to Article 7 of the 'Declaration to All Countries and Tribes,' when a Demon Race invasion causes a major disaster, Great Xia has the right to dispatch personnel across national borders to cleanse the demons."
"For this operation, Longteng University's Martial Arts Department Master Su and Botany Department Master Mu will personally lead and command the team."
"Let us all wish them military glory and a successful completion of their mission."
"Recently, the activities of the Demon Race have grown increasingly frequent. If any citizens discover clues or information related to the Demon Race or Demonic Qi, please immediately call the national hotline to report."
"..."
"The situation over there in Great Yue seems rather severe."
Lin Guang rubbed his chin, "Not being able to resolve the problem in two days suggests the situation might be somewhat out of control; otherwise, Longteng University wouldn't send True Men over."
Vishdair, leaning against Lin Guang, slightly straightened his body, furrowing his brow, "Did I hear wrong? Eight hundred thousand?"
The native population of Kazdail, at a stretch, probably doesn't even reach this number.
Just a minor Demon Race invasion, a campaign tasked to university students to quell, caused so many casualties?
"Huh, I didn't mention it before?"
Lin Guang thought for a moment and explained, "There aren't many peaceful places in this world; even the level of peace in Great Xia is the exception among exceptions."
"In this world, it is an indisputable fact that foreign peoples are living in deep miseries and difficulties."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Vishdair completely baffled and even Lisa slightly confused, Lin Guang pondered for a while and said, "You can think of Great Xia as the Land of Light... no, you wouldn't understand that."
"In terms of the Terra World analogy... just simply envision it as a super-enhanced version of Ratlan City."
"What?!" Vishdair's pitch suddenly rose several notes.
Lisa even covered her mouth in surprise.
The Holy City of Ratlan, located in the central region of Terra Continent, is a theocratic nation untouched by suffering, with no wars ever affecting it — a millennium of peace in this holy city.
It is said that they have their own being, capable of truly manifesting powers, "The Master."
Yet, even so, "The Master" seems to only be able to encompass Ratlan City with radiance, only able to bestow miracles to Sakota (Angels), safeguarding merely six million people, never intervening with the outside world, eternally maintaining neutrality.
A Ratlan City that shelters tens of billions of people and even actively intervenes in foreign affairs clearly exceeded the imagination of the two, taking quite a while to process it.
"Ah, so that's how it is..."
Lisa pondered.
In addition to diligently cultivating every day, she strives to absorb the knowledge of this world, to think effortfully, but the knowledge of a world, a civilization is simply too vast; she only understands a few common-sense notions, even less about affairs abroad.
Lin Guang opened his mouth as if wanting to say something more.
At this moment, a rhythmic knocking at the door interrupted him.
Lin Guang got up and went to the Profound Gate to open the door.
Standing outside was an unfamiliar middle-aged man, wearing a highly fitted, likely custom-made high-end black suit, looking to be about forty, with an impeccably commercial smile on his face.
"Hello, is this Lin Guang?"
Although phrased as a question, the man spoke without a hint of uncertainty, while simultaneously handing out a business card from his chest pocket to Lin Guang.
Lin Guang accepted the card and glanced at it.
Zhen Sheng City Lingmiao Industrial Co., Ltd., Business Department Manager, Xin Qi.
This seems to be a company located in Mingguang District, a bit far from here.
Naturally, Lin Guang hadn't heard of this name.
Being sought out, he didn't feel particularly boxed in, as after he crushed the geniuses of the three great families, his residence was no secret.
Only most people have the sense not to disturb him.
After all, it's possible to offend an ordinary person without consequence.
But offending a genius capable of defeating the prodigies of the three great families single-handedly; if the other party is even slightly petty, one might as well start digging a hole waiting to die.
Xin Qi looked at Lin Guang, with that impeccable smile, gently said, "Our company's main业务 is potion研发 and fur processing."
He spoke in officialese, "I've heard that Lin Guang discovered the Evolutionary Path of the Swaying Lily, and it's of a rare Ghost and Spirit Attribute, so our company is interested in合作 with you."
Lin Guang raised an eyebrow - he always felt there was a subtle, indescribable sense of discord in the man's tone.
However, putting the tone aside.
His paper on the Evolutionary Path of the Swaying Lily has not yet been published in journals, from what path was it found?
This person coming to the door so swiftly at this very juncture had to make Lin Guang suspicious — his paper may have been leaked during the review phase.
This is not rational.
Moreover...
Potion研发?
Nearly seventy percent of the Meditation Potions on the market have their main materials linked to Spiritual Element native-type plant Spirit Beast, this is indeed correct.
But the types of plant Spirit Beasts are as vast as smoke, even the Spiritual Elements are numerous.
A paper on a new native-type plant Spirit Beast needs to be discussed for合作事宜 during the review phase?
It's worth noting that the potential of the Swaying Lily is only at the Green excellent level, it's not particularly eye-catching, its only unique point being one — its petals are the key ingredient of the Protective Umbrella Company's Meditation Potion No. 13.
Closely watching the content of the paper, specifically coming to visit related to this matter...
Lin Guang frowned — could it be...
Is it related to the Protective Umbrella Company?
Xin Qi could not possibly know how much Lin Guang pondered in such a short time, he looked at Lin Guang's overly youthful face and chuckled softly, "Lin Guang, are you interested in visiting our company's factory?"
"...?"
Lin Guang was slightly stunned, a more pronounced sense of discordos began to rise from his mind, but he couldn't quite understand what was the matter: "Have me go and see?"
Xin Qi nodded, "Assessing our company's实力 before making a judgment isn't too late."
"Alright."
Lin Guang turned to look at Lisa and Vishdair on the sofa, "Let's go, unexpectedly need to go out for a bit."
...
Xin Qi's private vehicle was parked downstairs.
The entire车身 is black, the弧线 of the engine cover sharp, with a futuristicStyle distinct from Great Xia's brands.
Lin Guang wasn't very familiar with luxury车 brands, but he had a vague impression — this car's标志跑车 was imported from the distant Federation Country, the价格 not less than fifty thousand Credit Points.
It's worth mentioning that when Vishdair exited, she frowned slightly upon seeing Xin Qi's face, said nothing, and straightforwardly took Lisa back to Lin Guang's Spirit Beast Space.
Upon seeing them vanish beside Lin Guang, Xin Qi also seemed a bit惊讶, as if he hadn't expected them to be Spirit Beasts.
Seeing this, Lin Guang approximately guessed a few things.
