The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Yan Wei was fast, and in less than two minutes, he had the data for the first-generation network transmitter ready and sent it to Tang Rao's hands.

Upon receiving the USB drive, Tang Rao connected to the overlord's Illusion City.

"The goods are prepared. Do you want to come get them yourself, or shall I have Gong Jianliang deliver them?" Tang Rao asked directly.

"That quick?"

"Digital age, gotta be fast." Tang Rao rolled his eyes, thirty trillion Spirit Stones, I have to hurry, right?

Besides, what if you change your mind? Wouldn't I miss out on making money?

"Give it to Gong Jianliang, and as for the Spirit Stones, I'll give them to him to bring to you."

"That works." Tang Rao nodded.

...

Two hours later, Tang Rao met with Gong Jianliang, who handed him a Space Ring.

Tang Rao didn't waste any words and went straight into the Space Ring.

The entire space was filled to the brim, all with Spirit Stones. Endless and dazzling to the eyes.

To be honest, Tang Rao had never seen so many Spirit Stones before. Giant Merchant Star is really damn rich, thirty trillion is probably just a drop in the ocean for them.

This enormous entity has been operating for so many years, and the amount of Spirit Stones it has accumulated is terrifying.

Although Illusion City's money-making speed is incredibly crazy, Tang Rao is clear in his heart that it is impossible to surpass them in a short period of time.

So now, he must use some very high-handed tactics; otherwise, he cannot contend with Giant Merchant Star.

Giant Merchant Star is huge and has terrifying power. However, Tang Rao knows that such a gargantuan being often has its inherent drawbacks.

High-ranking negligence.

Yes, Tang Rao doesn't believe the high-ups of Giant Merchant Star would pay attention to the living conditions of those below, so this is his opportunity.

As long as he keeps infiltrating, drawing people from various fields of Giant Merchant Star to join his camp, reaching a certain critical point, Giant Merchant Star will inevitably decline.

An empire never relies on just the few people at the top.

"No wonder it's said wealth can't surpass Giant Merchant, they truly have the money. Thirty trillion, just to purchase some junk, I'm impressed." Tang Rao withdrew his consciousness from the Space Ring, his face wearing a satisfied smile.

"If the Grand Chairman knew you've already developed the second-generation network transmitter, I wonder what kind of expression he would have." Gong Jianliang said from the side.

Honestly, he was now somewhat grateful to be following Tang Rao.

Perhaps Tang Rao's power was not yet sufficient to compete with Giant Merchant Star, but this guy was too cunning, too calculating. Gong Jianliang believed that given enough time to Tang Rao, he could not only contend with Giant Merchant Star but even topple the whole Giant Merchant Star.

"Speaking of which, do you have information on those few old guys?" Tang Rao inquired.

Gong Jianliang shrugged: "I only know the Grand Chairman, Second Chairman, Third Chairman, and Fourth Elder. As for who they are, what they look like, and how strong they are, I have no idea. They're very secretive, never showing their faces. Even when they meet me, it's from behind a curtain."

"I do know what they look like," said Tang Rao.

Gong Jianliang was slightly taken aback.

As he spoke, Tang Rao pulled out a tablet and opened an email on it.

The email had four attachments, which when opened, were four photographs, three old timers, and a stunningly gorgeous young woman.

"This Fourth Elder, turns out to be a woman, and so young too." Tang Rao clicked his tongue, it must be said, this Fourth Elder was indeed extraordinary. Even from the photograph, one can see she's a woman of irresistible charm, an utterly enthralling character.

Gong Jianliang stared dumbfounded at the tablet in Tang Rao's hands, he'd been with Giant Merchant Star for thirty years and never seen the four chairmen's faces, yet Tang Rao had them.

"Do you recognize them?" Tang Rao asked.

Gong Jianliang shook his head; he hadn't seen any of these four people.

"But..." Gong Jianliang furrowed his brows slightly, hesitant to speak.

"But what?" Tang Rao asked.

"Above the Fourth president, there seems to be someone else," Gong Jianliang said, "I'm not sure, but I once overheard the Third president mention the 'President.'"

"There definitely is," Tang Rao nodded, "Among these four presidents, the Grand Chairman's power should be comparable to Cui Baiyi's. How could the Giant Merchant Star not have a true Cultivator of Great Perfection..."

Gong Jianliang agreed; indeed, it would be unreasonable for the Giant Merchant Star to contend with the Soul Capture Pavilion without a Cultivator of Great Perfection.

"This Fourth Elder is quite something," Tang Rao suddenly said.

Gong Jianliang was startled, "Boss, you're not thinking of using the Fourth Elder as a breakthrough point, are you?"

"The other three are old guys; comparatively, I prefer a beautiful woman," Tang Rao said with a smile.

One of the four presidents had to be grasped in his own hands.

"But, the Fourth Elder, this person might not be that simple. Be careful. I've never communicated with her, and although she is the Fourth Elder, her authority is higher than that of the Second and Third Elders," Gong Jianliang said.

"Is that so? Then it's even more interesting," Tang Rao chuckled, "Alright, you go back. If there's anything, just notify me using Illusion City. It's best if we don't meet, so you don't arouse suspicion."

"What if I do get suspected?" Gong Jianliang asked.

"Then you can just go to the Moon," Tang Rao said.

"If that happens, the Giant Merchant Star might do something unfavorable to the Moon," Gong Jianliang frowned.

"So what if they do? I, Tang Rao, am not so easily bullied. Rest assured, as long as you're a brother of mine, Tang Rao, even if you're gonna die, you'd die by my hand. Nobody else should even think about it," Tang Rao declared with overwhelming confidence.

Gong Jianliang found Tang Rao quite full of himself, but it also genuinely moved him.

In a place like the Giant Merchant Star, where interests are paramount, those who can be sacrificed will be sacrificed.

...

After parting with Gong Jianliang, Tang Rao started strolling around the Giant Merchant Star.

"If you ask me what I'm doing, I'm looking forward to an encounter that's not been arranged!" Tang Rao muttered to himself and even began to hum his randomly composed tune.

A few minutes later, a roar came from Yan Wei through Tang Rao's Illusion City: "Tang Rao, stop singing, I'm going to puke. It's terrible!!"

"You really have no appreciation," Tang Rao retorted, "Anyway, where's my beautiful encounter? Are you even capable? It's been so long."

"Go east." Yan Wei threw out three words and then directly blocked out Tang Rao's voice.

This idiot, what on earth is he singing? It's infuriating everyone.

Why don't you sing when you fight? If you sang, you could sing a Great Perfection Cultivator to death, even a fairy-level master could be sung into mental breakdown.

...

Tang Rao walked east for about twenty minutes and finally encountered the longed-for encounter.

Hmm, the Fourth Elder.

That utterly charming ~~lady.

But at the moment, the Fourth Elder was wearing a veil, making it impossible to see her face.

No wonder Yan Wei couldn't find any information about them – turns out they took protective measures when they went out.
