Chapter 26: X-Ray Vision, Wall-Passing, and Invisibility
"Damn, the analysis above is highly plausible. I was wondering why the editor would step in to support 'Youth.' If they are the same person, it all makes sense!"
Netizens began speculating about the relationship between the three.
"Just a passerby, but honestly, with your company's capabilities, there's no way you can blacklist Xue Ting."
"A third-rate company I've never even heard of wants to blacklist our Tingting? Please, stop trying to make us laugh, okay?"
"I was wondering when Tingting started endorsing a carbon fiber manufacturer. I looked it up online... well, their annual production capacity is only 360 tons. I bet their total profit isn't even enough to cover Tingting's endorsement fee. Hilarious!"
Xue Ting's fans mocked the post relentlessly.
In that villa in Shanghai:
"Honey, the boss of this company has stepped in. Maybe we should just let it go," Xue Ting said, her tone dripping with a feigned fear of causing trouble for Liu Sanhai, looking pitiful enough to stir anyone's heart.
Hearing this, Liu Sanhai curled his lips in disdain. "Damn, it's just the boss of a third-rate company. Watch how I crush him!"
Liu Sanhai had already looked up the information on Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd.
Based on an annual production capacity of 360 tons of T1100-grade carbon fiber, the company's annual revenue was only 540 million.
With his own net worth exceeding ten billion, the two were simply not on the same level!
Dong City Airport.
After posting that tweet, Jiang Jin drove his Lamborghini Aventador back to Dong City with Wu Qingya.
Life is more than just the drudgery before your eyes; there is also poetry and the fields in the distance.
To Jiang Jin, Xue Ting was merely an entertainer. There was no need to waste his energy on such people; completing tasks and strengthening himself was the top priority!
The trip was less than 200 kilometers. With Jiang Jin's driving skills, he made it back in two and a half hours, even while sticking to the speed limit.
After lunch, the two went to the Yinrui Ziyue sales center.
Staying in hotels indefinitely wasn't a long-term solution, and he was still 80 million short on his spending task. He had seen online a few days ago that this place, Yinrui Ziyue, happened to have detached villas with a total price of over 80 million.
Moreover, they were fully furnished and move-in ready, and the location was excellent, so there was nothing to consider.
After parking, the two walked into the sales center, and a young woman in professional attire with black stockings greeted them.
"Sir, Madam, welcome to the Yinrui Ziyue sales center. I am your property consultant, Zhao Yueyuan."
Jiang Jin's eyes lit up. The young woman had short hair and slightly chubby cheeks, giving her a cute appearance.
While she couldn't compare to Wu Qingya in terms of looks, she was still quite attractive among the sales staff.
"Take me to see the D-type villa area."
Jiang Jin had already set his target and went straight to the point.
Zhao Yueyuan's eyes sparkled. People who spoke like that were usually serious buyers, and the chance of a successful sale was high!
Soon, Zhao Yueyuan led them to the D-type detached villa area.
It was a three-story villa: two stories above ground with seven bedrooms, three living rooms, and seven bathrooms, plus a basement that could be converted into a game room or wine cellar.
There was a swimming pool in the front where he could invite friends for parties in his spare time, and a small garden in the back to plant flowers and grass.
In two words: cozy!
The property area was 1,212 square meters, with a total price of 88 million.
After asking for Wu Qingya's opinion, Jiang Jin paid directly with his card.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Carbon Fiber Series Task (III) is complete. The reward is being issued...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 tons/24h of T1100-grade carbon fiber production speed and 100,000 system points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the T2000-grade carbon fiber series task is unlocked.]
[Ding! Host, you have a new task.]
[Task: X-Alloy Series Task (III)]
[Task Goal: Cumulative spending of 10 million Dragon Kingdom dollars.]
[Task Reward: X-Alloy production speed increased to 100kg/24h, 10,000 system points, and unlocking the Vibranium series tasks.]
[Task: Carbon Fiber Series Task (IV)]
[Task Goal: Cumulative spending of 1 billion Dragon Kingdom dollars.]
[Task Reward: T1100-grade carbon fiber production speed of 100t/24h, 1 million system points.]
[Task: T2000-grade Carbon Fiber Series Task (I)]
[Task Goal: Cumulative spending of 10 million Dragon Kingdom dollars.]
[Task Reward: T2000-grade carbon fiber production line, production speed 100kg/24h, 10,000 system points.]
[Three tasks to choose from. Abandoned tasks will be refreshed later. Please make your choice within 10 seconds.]
Jiang Jin chose the T2000-grade carbon fiber series task (I) without hesitation!
The strength of T2000-grade carbon fiber was 10 times that of the T1100 grade, and no country in the world could mass-produce it yet.
If he were the first to bring the production line out, it would inevitably shake the carbon fiber industry!
More importantly, if the Dragon Kingdom used T2000-grade carbon fiber in military aircraft and rockets, it would greatly enhance national defense capabilities!
As a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, contributing to the country in this way was his responsibility and honor!
As for slapping the faces of internet trolls and critics, that was a secondary matter.
With 100,000 system points in hand, he could finally purchase those three divine skills.
Jiang Jin chuckled, entered the system mall, spent 30,000 points to buy "X-Ray Vision," "Invisibility," and "Wall-Phasing," and clicked to learn them.
A massive stream of information flooded into Jiang Jin's mind, and he quickly mastered the three skills.
Invisibility: Can enter an invisible state at any time, silencing all sounds and aura.
X-Ray Vision: Can see through any material.
Note: Consumes 1 system point per second while in use.
Wall-Phasing: Can pass through any material.
Note: Consumes 100 system points per use.
Damn, it actually costs system points to use them!
Jiang Jin felt like thousands of creatures were galloping through his mind!
But once he thought about the power of these three skills, his resentment vanished.
With the ability to see through walls, walk through them, and turn invisible, who cared about those few points?
Just use them sparingly!
Jiang Jin fantasized for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Qingya.
Wu Qingya felt a chill. What was that look in Jiang Jin's eyes? It was as if she had been completely seen through!
"Hey, Jiang Jin, why are you having a nosebleed?"
Jiang Jin smiled awkwardly. "Oh, maybe I'm a bit overheated these past few days."
"Mr. Jiang, let me get you a glass of herbal tea," said Zhao Yueyuan, who was helping Jiang Jin with the property purchase paperwork.
Jiang Jin nodded at her, his nosebleed worsening.
The side effects of these divine skills were too great; he shouldn't use them lightly in the future!
In the following time, Jiang Jin spent another 6,000 system points to purchase 6 Combat Pills and consumed them all.
After clenching his fists, he felt a power far exceeding what he had before; he was one step away from shouting the famous line, "I can take on ten!"
[Ding! Detected that the host's combat power has exceeded 100. Do you want to spend 10,000 system points to learn "Internal Energy"?]
Jiang Jin was startled, then quickly clicked into the system to check.
"Internal Energy": After learning this skill, you can gain power that connects your joints and focuses your intent, with the ability to concentrate your entire body's strength at a single point.
Note: "Internal Energy" costs 10,000 system points and automatically increases combat power by 100 after learning.
So that's it.
Modern fighting should belong to external martial arts, which only train the muscles and bones.
Internal energy, however, generates a much more powerful force within the body. A punch fueled by this energy would have a destructive power that modern fighting simply couldn't compare to.
Since it could strengthen himself, there was no reason not to learn it.
After consuming 10,000 system points, Jiang Jin felt a warm current surge through his entire body. He clenched his fists.
"Crack, crack."
The sense of power was explosive!
