I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Return (II)

The most well-funded factions in East Lake City were the martial arts schools, clans, and large corporations led by warriors.

Chen Yiming, who had been away from home for a week, didn’t linger for long.

He took out the snake gallbladder that had been saved for him, and politely declined Fang Hongkun’s offer to send him to his house. He carried the snake gallbladder and walked alone in the direction of the Jinghu district.

…

At home, nothing much had changed from when Chen Yiming left. They had only added some cups and two new lights.

“Brother, what are you holding in your hand? It’s bloody,” Chen Yingying asked in surprise.

“This is food for you,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

The gallbladder of the black snake at the level of a warrior candidate was about the size of a basketball.

In order to keep it as fresh as possible, it had been kept at a low temperature the entire time. Therefore, it was not much different from when the black snake had just died. The blood on it was still bright red.

“Do I really have to eat this?” Chen Yingying’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes widened.

“This is the black snake gallbladder. It can remove the poison accumulated from consuming mutant beast meat for a long time,” Chen Yiming explained.

Seeing that Chen Yingying was still hesitant, Chen Yiming smiled and said, “This is a black snake gallbladder at the level of a warrior candidate. It’s impossible to buy it outside. The money you spend on cultivation for a year is probably equivalent to a small piece of this snake gallbladder.”

“What!”

Before Chen Yingying could react, Father Chen and Mother Chen gasped.

They were just ordinary people, so they would not have imagined that the ordinary-looking snake gallbladder was actually a priceless treasure.

“You prodigal daughter,” Mother Chen couldn’t help but shout.

Chen Yingying also reacted at this moment and retorted, “How can you blame me?”

At the side, Father Chen coughed and said, “Alright, why are you so agitated? Don’t compare our family’s current situation to that of the past.”

Hearing this, Mother Chen glared at him and insisted, “Do you think you can squander all our money away just because we are in a better situation now?”

Previously, Chen Yingying had spent more than a million yuan on martial arts every month. However, as Chen Yiming’s martial arts level increased, the cultivation resources he provided for Chen Yingying became more expensive.

Chen Yiming watched his family bicker and didn’t stop them.

They were not really quarreling. It was just that they were too bored at home and had to find something to do.

…

On the second day after returning to East Lake City, Chen Yiming slept until the sun had risen completely.

The smell of home made him completely relax his tense nerves. Therefore, even though he had woken up long ago, he did not get out of bed.

After getting up, he made a call to the company.

“Beep…”

“Boss, you’re back!”

Shi Changyi’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“I’m back. I’ll drop by the company later,” Chen Yiming said.

With that, he was about to hang up.

“Wait a minute, Boss. The company is no longer where it used to be. It has moved to Xinyi Building.”

“Got it.”

Chen Yiming hung up.

Although he was already at the second stage of the warrior realm, he could not just leave the company alone and not care about what was happening in East Lake City.

After washing up, Chen Yiming talked to Father Chen and Mother Chen before leaving for Xinyi Building.

The Xinyi Building was located in the center of East Lake City, about a kilometer away from the Jinghu district. It had a total of 45 floors and was one of the tallest commercial buildings in East Lake City.

The city center hadn’t been affected by the attack from the alien bird creature, so the streets were bustling with people. It took Chen Yiming nearly 10 minutes to reach Xinyi Building.

At this moment, a red carpet and flower basket had been placed at the entrance of the building. Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan were already waiting at the entrance.

Beside him was a row of receptionists. They were all about 1.7 meters tall and were wearing high heels, the black stockings showing under their knee-length skirts.

Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan greeted Chen Yiming from afar once they saw him.

“Boss, after you set off, there was news that you had broken through to the warrior realm. The company’s development changed drastically every day, and it reached its current size a week later,” Shi Changyi explained.

“Got it.” Chen Yiming nodded.

The reputation of the warrior realm was a trump card. As long as Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan did not offer harsh conditions, there would be almost no problems with the company’s acquisition of assets.

Countless small and medium-sized companies in East Lake City were begging to join Chen Yiming’s company.

Chen Yiming followed the two of them into the building. Under the welcome from the receptionist, they took the elevator to the top floor.

The top floor was Chen Yiming’s personal office. There were meeting rooms of various sizes, and all the modern facilities were available.

After the three of them sat down at the tea table, a beautiful secretary immediately poured them some tea.

After the secretary left, Shi Changyi whispered, “Boss, that was Xiao Yao, the personal secretary we arranged for you.”

Chen Yiming glanced at Xiao Yao, who had automatically left the office.

She was over 1.7 meters tall, had an oval face, smooth black hair, and was wearing a black suit.

Her figure and appearance would score close to full marks among ordinary people. She did not look weak or helpless, and clearly had some martial arts foundation.

This was a rare sight in a small city like East Lake City. She was a level higher than the receptionists from the Mantis Snake Sword School headquarters.

“Tell me about the company’s situation first,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

When Shi Changyi heard this, he put away his trivial concerns and explained, “The company basically didn’t spend a single cent on the acquisition. Wei Chaoyuan and I even repeatedly compared the companies that wanted to join us.

Now, compared to the other martial arts companies in East Lake City, our scale is still slightly smaller. However, the general framework has already been established, and we are extending our reach into all areas in East Lake City.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

Shi Changyi’s performance was pretty good, and he had behaved roughly in line with his thoughts.

He did not need the company to provide him with much strength. Instead, he needed to be able to gather valuable information.

To him, most of the information was worthless. Therefore, he had to spread out his net to ensure that he could obtain the information he needed as soon as possible.

“Boss, the company has set up 11 hunting teams. Should they be gathered near one space-travel passage or be scattered around a few space-travel passages?” Wei Chaoyuan asked.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming recalled how the Blue Cloud Sword Sect had tried to kill him.

“11 hunting teams are a little too few. We should expand to as many as 100 teams.

In addition, the hunting teams need to focus on gathering information. Not only should they be stationed in this province, but we should also send people to the neighboring provinces,” Chen Yiming instructed.

“Alright.” Wei Chaoyuan nodded.

At the end, Chen Yiming roughly estimated that his Level-3 swordsmanship talent would allow him to comprehend a sword technique unique to him from the concept diagrams.

This sword technique would always allow him to look ahead in his path of cultivation, and was an important way for Chen Yiming to keep his subordinates in check in the future.

The speed at which Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan cultivated to the warrior candidate realm would definitely not be able to catch up to the speed at which he upgraded his talent.

“Don’t slack off on your own cultivation. When you break through to the warrior candidate realm, come to me to receive the sword technique for the warrior realm,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

When Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan heard this, their eyes turned red as they tried their best to hold back their tears.

“Boss, we’ll do our best,” they promised in unison.

No one was completely selfless. The two of them had helped Chen Yiming go from setting up a small detective agency to owning a large corporation. Naturally, they had their own requests.

However, Chen Yiming’s talent was too shocking. Breaking through was as easy as eating and drinking for him. Naturally, the company’s development wasn’t hindered by much, so the two of them were too embarrassed to mention their requests.

Chen Yiming knew this as well. Therefore, he had decided that all the core members of his faction would cultivate his unique sword technique in the future.

This way, as long as they cared about their progress in martial arts, they would never be able to escape from his control.
