"Just out of prison and already so hot-tempered, President Li. Looks like you need to go get some fire cupping therapy. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off."
Lin Jichen said this and left without bothering to look at Li Fengwen again, walking away with a swagger.
Thousands of Blood Fiend Guild members could only watch him leave in silence.
Li Fengwen's face turned ashen with rage.
"Boss, should we take action and finish him off?" Kuang Xiaoyan asked angrily.
Li Fengwen shook his head and said, "Didn't you see those Moon Shadow women watching us? If we make a move, they'll definitely intervene. Besides, that bastard Lin Jichen can take down a Golden Core Realm boss. What do you have to fight him with? Haven't you learned from our past mistakes?"
Kuang Xiaoyan had no choice but to drop it. However, Li Fengwen suddenly sneered, "But don't worry, this kid won't be arrogant for long."
"Boss, you have a plan?" Kuang Xiaoyan asked eagerly.
Li Fengwen smirked, "We can't deal with him in the game, but in reality, it's much easier. During my seven days in prison, I spent a lot of money and connections to investigate him. His information is top secret, but I managed to find some clues."
"You found him? What are we waiting for? Let's finish him off! If you can't do it yourself, I'll find someone to handle it, no loose ends." Kuang Xiaoyan whispered excitedly.
"If only it were that simple. His information is top secret, but I found out he's a student at Jiangling Normal University. However, he's no longer at school. According to real estate sources, he dropped out and bought a villa and a car. He lives in a high-end community."
Li Fengwen's eyes were filled with a desire for revenge.
"Should I take action now?"
"No need. That community is well-guarded, and he stays in the game all day. If you go, you'll alert him. Besides, I don't just want to kill him; I want to torture him slowly."
As Li Fengwen spoke, a malicious and perfect plan formed in his mind.
Meanwhile, Lin Jichen had already arrived at the Moon Shadow Guild.
The girls of Moon Shadow had been eagerly awaiting the return of the great Lin Jichen. As soon as he arrived, they couldn't contain their excitement.
"Lin, handsome~ It's been so long, did you miss us?"
"Lin, little brother, big sister missed you so much. Come here and let me hug you~"
"Lin, my husband~ You're my husband~"
"Jichen oppa, you look even more handsome than before. I'm falling for you all over again, ahhh~"
The girls were noisy until Su Wanling's stern voice quieted them down.
Lin Jichen walked up to Jiang Luoyu and smiled, "Haven't seen you in a few days, and you've opened so many shops. I saw them all over the city."
Jiang Luoyu chuckled, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. If I had more Spirit Stones, I could open small shops in all four states."
"So many shops, can you keep up with the supply?" Lin Jichen teased.
This woman probably wants to make her business the biggest in the world...
"It's fine. I've hired tens of thousands of Alchemy Masters and equipment masters. They make elixirs and equipment every day. Our guild players are constantly raiding Secret Realms for gear. It's enough for now. If not, I'll just hire more people." Jiang Luoyu said casually.
"Tens of thousands? No way, are there that many NPCs to hire in the city?" Lin Jichen couldn't believe it.
Jiang Luoyu looked puzzled, "Why hire NPCs? It's a waste of Spirit Stones. Just hire players, pay them cash, three to five thousand a month."
Too small-minded, too small-minded.
Why didn't he think of that?
He wanted to imitate her, but he didn't have the financial strength.
Tens of thousands of employees, three thousand a month, that's thirty million...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt defeated. Sigh, being rich is great.
He felt overspent hiring just a few dozen employees, while Jiang Luoyu hired tens of thousands. Goodness!
Lin Jichen wanted to ask if he could borrow some of her employees for a few days...
But he didn't have the nerve to ask.
"Let's go raid a Secret Realm." Lin Jichen didn't want to continue this topic, afraid of getting more frustrated.
"Sure, you be the leader and organize the team. The gear we get from the Secret Realm is all yours."
"No, we agreed before, fifty-fifty. If you insist, I won't feel comfortable joining the team." Lin Jichen insisted.
"Alright, fifty-fifty then. You organize the team." Jiang Luoyu agreed happily.
Lin Jichen glanced at the Moon Shadow players' general information and smiled wryly, "There's nothing much to organize. Most of your guild members are in the mid to late Foundation Establishment stage, with many in the Crystal Realm. We can just steamroll Corpse King Valley."
With the players' cultivation levels rising, these three Secret Realms had become easy to clear.
Even the Hell difficulty was being cleared by many teams daily.
The leaderboard for clearing times was constantly being updated with new records.
The records Lin Jichen had set with Moon Shadow were long broken.
These beginner Secret Realms could no longer satisfy the players' needs.
Lin Jichen knew that with so many players advancing, the second batch of Secret Realms would soon be released.
After a quick formation setup, Lin Jichen led thousands of girls into Corpse King Valley, even on Hell difficulty.
There was no suspense. Lin Jichen didn't even need to act or command. The Moon Shadow girls were well-coordinated and easily steamrolled the entire Secret Realm.
The Crystal Realm Corpse King was also instantly killed by them.
Previously, most of the Moon Shadow girls were in the Qi Refining stage. Now, Qi Refining stage players were mostly new players.
The majority were above the Foundation Establishment stage, with fifty percent in that realm and thirty percent in the Crystal Realm.
So, how could Corpse King Valley still pose a challenge to them?
Lin Jichen coasted through the entire Secret Realm, winning effortlessly.
After clearing the Hell difficulty, they also cleared the Extreme, Hard, and other modes.
Later, with Jiang Luoyu, Su Wanling, and other guild girls, they cleared the Night Cave Ghost Ridge Secret Realm as well.
Lin Jichen was just along for the ride, chatting with Jiang Luoyu, and easily cleared the Secret Realms.
They ended up with ten thousand of pieces of equipment.
Lin Jichen felt a bit embarrassed, as Jiang Luoyu was practically giving them to him.
"This feels a bit too much. How about I give back thirty percent?" Lin Jichen offered.
Jiang Luoyu refused and retorted, "When we relied on you to clear the way, didn't we feel the same about the gear you got us? You didn't say anything then. Just take it, consider it Moon Shadow's way of repaying you."
Hearing this, Lin Jichen didn't refuse anymore and accepted the equipment.
Their relationship seemed to have returned to its former state, full of laughter and conversation.
