Chapter 281: Energy: 738,900 Grams

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They had a busy afternoon. They completed a task and earned 4,000 points.

Lin Yao was also busy for several hours, but he completed dozens of tasks, and the points earned, in addition to his merit points, totaled up to 180,000. These could be exchanged for 180 places in Ninghai City. Even in the war-torn Tianhai City, 36 Individuals could be arranged to enter the safety zone.

This gap between them could not be measured. If they earned money through missions, Qin Ya would not mind the difference. She might have liked power and wealth but would not be a slave to money.

However, in this turbulent era, points were equivalent to chances of survival, and the survival of one’s family could be guaranteed. Qin Ya placed high importance on the points.

“All of you did a good job.”

She might be praising them, but Qin Ya was a little absent-minded. She was thinking about the path she should take in the future.

‘Should I continue to groom Jin Cheng and the rest of them as I planned to do in the past?’

With this thought in mind, Qin Ya thought of her parents. Judging from what Lin Yao had told her, she had already guessed that his plan was to bring his family to Shanghai to settle down.

The girls who were with him also had a high probability of bringing their families over to Shanghai to settle down. As Lin Yao became stronger, his family would also have a higher status in Shanghai.

For the time being, Qin Ya did not need to worry about her status. She was playing a big role. However, Yan Yu’er and the others were growing, and there would come a day when they would be capable assistants.

‘Even if they are not as capable as me when they mature, they are loyal to Lin Yao and he trusts them. In the end, I will gradually be marginalized.’

After working with Lin Yao for a while, Qin Ya understood that even if she was marginalized, her family’s safety would be guaranteed. Lin Yao was not someone who kicked a person to the curb when they outlived their usefulness.

However, the Qin Family could merely be assured of their safety. Yan Yu’er and the girls would have a higher status than the Qin Family.

‘Could I tolerate it if one day, Yan Yu’er and the others ride on my back and order me around?

‘Could I bear the fact that their families will always surpass the Qin Family? In fact, Qin Xue’s family might even become the main line of the Qin Family, while my family will become the branch.

‘Furthermore, if Shanghai is besieged one day and Lin Yao can only save some of us… will he save my family first?’

These were the three questions she asked herself. After a moment of silence, she had her own answer and made a decision.

At that moment, Jin Cheng and the others were still talking to Qin Ya, bursting with excitement. However, she was no longer in the mood to reassure them.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I’m tired too, and all of you should rest as well… By the way, I have something to do during this period of time, and the company will temporarily be managed by ***. If you need anything, you can look for her. It’s fine if you want to leave too. You don’t have to pay liquidated damages.”

“…”

“Sister Qin, what happened?”

“Did that scoundrel force you to do this?”

“Shut up. Enough, this is my own decision.”

Qin Ya hung up the phone and looked at the room where Lin Yao was sleeping with a mixture of emotions.

When she had come to Shanghai, she had been worried that Lin Yao would have conflicts with Jin Cheng and the others and she had even been ready to step in to mediate.

However, the final result had exceeded her expectations.

There was indeed a conflict. Jin Cheng and the others were afraid that Qin Ya would be snatched away and they caused Lin Yao trouble.

However, Lin Yao did not plan to confront them to get even, nor did he compete with Jin Cheng and the others for her.

Knowing that she could not concentrate all her attention on him, he’d immediately drawn a clear line of demarcation, stating that they’d solely work together, and he had tried his best to get rid of her influence.

Since then, he had been in contact with her only for work. He had never interfered with her personal affairs.

He was being respectful and polite.

However, as a result, she gave up on Jin Cheng, who valued her, and was ready to devote herself to help Lin Yao.

Actually, Qin Ya, who had decided to stand on Lin Yao’s side, was relieved that she had made the decision now.

‘Fortunately, chaotic changes in the world are occurring during this period. If it happened two to three years later, when Yan Yu’er and the others would have matured and grown up, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to join them even if I was willing.’

She was thankful that she had made the decision now. At the same time, Yan Yu’er seemed to have heard her conversation on the phone. Yan Yu’er stood up to “comfort” her. “Sister Qin Ya, you made painstaking efforts to start the management company. It would be a shame to give up in vain. Ah Yao has us. Don’t worry.”

“It’s alright.”

“It will be fine. Sister Qin Ya, I believe that with your ability, you can handle the situation on both sides.”

“You sure have a lot of faith in me.”

Upon seeing Qin Ya, who was smiling but not quite, Yan Yu’er laughed awkwardly and did not dare say anything else.

However, her eyes flashed twice as she looked at Lin Yao’s room.

Lin Yao had no clue what was going on outside. It was not good for the huge amount of information received through the Electromagnetic Induction to accumulate in his mind. Lin Yao’s rest was also affected.

Fortunately, there was the golden cicada. With the Cicada Chirp—Clear Sound, Lin Yao’s consciousness felt cool and breezy, as if he had returned to a summer when cool breeze had been blowing when he was a child. This relaxed his spirit and allowed him to have a good nap.

Lin Yao’s strong physique enabled him to regain his energy after sleeping for slightly more than four hours.

It was one o’clock at night, but the super-strong Electromagnetic Induction enabled Lin Yao to see that it was not peaceful outside. There was a large number of armed policemen, soldiers, night guardsmen, and civilian martial artists who were very busy outside.

‘Shanghai is much more dangerous at night than during the day. During the day, there are only beasts around. However, at night, not only the beasts come out, but there are also a lot of freaks… Speaking of that, it is easier for me to find freaks than beasts.’

The freaks were better at hiding than the beasts. The beasts had to follow the rules of reality, which was something that could be understood.

However, the freaks, as one could tell from their name, were absurd and unusual.

A mirror, a piece of paper, a voice, a shadow, and even a dream could be freaks. The difficulty of finding them was 100 times higher than that of finding beasts and it was far more dangerous.

However, to Lin Yao, it seemed easier to find freaks than beasts.

This was because some beasts were righteous, but all freaks were malicious. They did not have the slightest bit of good in them.

As they harbored very powerful malice, there was no way for them to hide from Lin Yao.

‘It’s time to attack. If I want to bring my family to Shanghai, I will need at least 100,000 points per person. I would need a total of 400,000 points for my parents, younger brother, and younger sister. Besides, I still have to find accommodation for them after bringing them here.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao did not go out. However, his mind jolted, and he went deep into his Sea of ??Consciousness, staring at the green energy ball floating above the sacred tree.

The energy inside the energy ball was 738,900 grams.

Yes, that was right. Lin Yao currently had 738,900 grams of energy, which was nearly 740,000 grams of energy.

The reason why Lin Yao’s energy had soared from 400,000 and 500,000 to more than 700,000 was related to his actions today when he had searched for beasts and destroyed them. This was undoubtedly protecting the people and making a contribution. It was normal for his energy level to increase.

Of course, it was impossible to obtain such a huge amount of energy based on this alone. The surge of energy that came with killing beasts only accounted for a little more than 90,000 grams. The reason it had reached 738,900 grams was due to the 3 billion funds given by the soldiers in the early stage.

Lin Yao had instructed people to use part of the money meant to build the elementary school as a relief fund and spent it on the people affected by the disasters. This was also making a contribution to the people.

Hundreds of thousands of people had benefited from the huge amount of funds, and energy had continuously poured into Lin Yao’s Sea of ??Consciousness.

Lin Yao could clearly see that when he was in the Sea of ??Consciousness for a short time, green energy balls kept appearing one after another.

50 grams, 30 grams, 7 grams, 18 grams, 27 grams… Each ball had very little energy, but there were a lot of them. The small balls merged with the green energy sun, and the green energy ball turned even bigger. The 738,900 grams of energy inside it kept increasing as well.

‘At this rate, if there is another harvest tonight, I will be able to accumulate one million grams of energy by early tomorrow morning… My sacred tree could be upgraded again!’
