Novel Bin Chapter 91 - Company (II)
Wei Chaoyuan widened his eyes and gasped. “Tsk! Are you kidding us?”
“Have you ever seen me crack a joke?” Chen Yiming rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Shi Changyi tried to curry favor and said with a smile, “Brother Chen, count me in. I’ll directly transfer some of my father’s subordinates into your company.”
“I have no problem with that either. I can just resign and join you,” Wei Chaoyuan added.
Following Chen Yiming’s guarantee that he would be able to break through to a warrior candidate soon, the atmosphere at the tea table became relaxed.
By starting a business with a warrior candidate, Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan could become founding members of a new faction. Both of them felt that they had a bright future ahead of them.
“There’s another problem. After all, I’ve always been focused on martial arts, so I don’t know much about other things. I want to hear your opinion on what kind of business the company should be dealing with,” Chen Yiming said.
“Brother Chen, what do you need the most at the moment?” Shi Changyi asked.
Chen Yiming thought about it for a moment before replying, “It’s best if the company can receive all kinds of news about the martial arts world in East Lake City immediately.”
He did not need the company’s employees to have high combat strength. Instead, what they could provide him with was all kinds of timely information.
This was because he was currently a warrior who was hiding his true abilities and had not openly joined the circle of those in the warrior realm. If he wanted to obtain the technique for cultivation after the warrior realm, he had to rely on himself.
After all, the martial arts talent system had only helped him increase his talent. The cultivation technique would not appear out of nowhere.
After Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan heard his request, they calmed down and thought about it, trying to come up with the best plan./
A few minutes later, Shi Changyi was the first to speak. “Brother Chen, what do you think about starting with a detective company?”
“Tell me more,” Chen Yiming urged.
“This is what I’m thinking. First of all, even if Wei Chaoyuan and I can get some friends to join the company, the company’s strength will definitely be lacking in the early stages.
As for the detective business, it can avoid the disadvantage of not having enough raw strength. After all, it’s just gathering information, and there’s no need to fight anyone,” Shi Changyi explained. “What do you think?” Chen Yiming looked at Wei Chaoyuan. He wanted to ask for more opinions and consider things from different perspectives.
“I wanted to suggest a logistics company just like the one I am working in, but after hearing Shi Changyi’s suggestion, it’s indeed more suitable to start with a detective company.
The company will be relatively weak when it is first established. It’s best to narrow the scope of business to within East Lake City,” Wei Chaoyuan replied.
“That’s right.” Chen Yiming nodded.
After settling the direction of the company’s business, the three of them discussed some details.
Shi Changyi and Wei Chaoyuan promised to rope in a group of people to start the company as soon as possible.
As the foundation of the company, Chen Yiming was responsible for focusing on cultivating and improving his strength so that he could break through to a warrior candidate as soon as possible.
Once there was a warrior candidate presiding over the company, countless people would naturally come to join them. That would be the time for the company to flourish.
It was two days later.
It had been sunny for the past month, and the past two days were no exception. The thunderstorm that Chen Yiming had been waiting for had yet to arrive.
The company had already been registered. Its name was the ‘Yiming Detective Agency’. It was simple and easy to understand.
In the future, if there were more types of businesses, he could directly set up a corporation and include the ‘Yiming Detective Agency’ as a subsidiary company.
The sky had turned slightly light.
Chen Yiming left the city openly through the city’s gates.
After he was a few kilometers away from East Lake City and confirming that no one was following him, he unleashed his true speed and moved in a randomly chosen direction. He found a canyon dozens of kilometers away from East Lake City and started his cultivation.
During his cultivation, the power of lightning formed from his internal force would spread throughout his entire body, creating a lot of noise.
If he cultivated in the city, he would not be able to hide it from others. Therefore, he had to leave the city for his daily cultivation.
At this moment, Chen Yiming was sitting cross-legged on the top of a cliff in the canyon.
Looking down from the cliff, he could vaguely make out the figures of a few mutant beasts.
This was not within the range of the space-travel passage. The mutant beasts here were like the wild beasts of the past. Not only were they rare, but they were also relatively weak. They were usually at the level of three or four transformations.
He suddenly recalled the scene of him fighting the mother beast more than a week ago. “In terms of internal force, I’m slightly inferior to the mother beast.
In the future, if I really provoked someone at the level of the head of a martial arts school, without using the Heart Sword, there is a high chance that I would lose.
The Heart Sword’s ability was extremely lethal. Once it is used, the opponent would either die or be crippled. It can only be used as a trump card and can not be used easily in front of others. I have to think of another way to increase my strength under normal circumstances. At the very least, I have to ensure that I won’t lose to someone like the head of a martial arts school.”
At this thought, Chen Yiming went through the cultivation techniques he had learned.
The only techniques he had mastered at the warrior realm were the Thunder Sword Technique and the Flying Feather Sword Technique.
The internal force cultivated from the Thunder Sword Technique could be transformed into the power of lightning. It was more effective at tempering the body than the Flying Feather Sword Technique.
In addition, even though he had tried several times, he was still unable to fuse the two internal forces with different attributes. Therefore, after exhausting the internal force from cultivating the concept diagram of the Flying Feather Sword Technique, he had focused only on cultivating the Thunder Sword Technique.
Chen Yiming guessed that there must be a way to fuse them. Perhaps his current level was not high enough, or perhaps the people he interacted with were too weak so he had not come into contact with someone of that level.
“I’ve already unearthed the full potential of the cultivation techniques I have mastered. There’s no news about the techniques beyond the warrior realm for the time being. It’s not realistic to start from this point,” Chen Yiming said bitterly.
After some thought, Chen Yiming looked through the martial arts talent system again.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 2
Level: Warrior realm
Physique: Basic sword body
Skill points: 40
So far, he had accumulated some Skill Points.
He tried to add more points to his Level-2 swordsmanship talent. A line of small words appeared at the bottom right of the Level-2 swordsmanship talent frame, indicating that he needed 300 Skill Points.
“As expected, it doesn’t work,” Chen Yiming said helplessly.
He had only upgraded to the Level-2 swordsmanship talent not long ago. If he had not broken through to the warrior realm using various tricks, he would still have been slowly tempering his body.
He had undergone the third transformation, the sixth transformation, the ninth transformation, and entered a meditative state to draw the concept diagram.
These four hurdles were each more difficult than the last. It seemed that martial arts practitioners with different amounts of talent were separated by these bottlenecks.
Chen Yiming had broken through the last two bottlenecks in one go. The speed at which he accumulated Skill Points naturally couldn’t keep up with the speed at which his strength increased.
Suddenly, he had a thought.
“Since my Level-3 swordsmanship talent is still far away, isn’t it a little foolish to insist on focusing on one talent at this time? Can I activate a second talent?”
Chen Yiming started to check the grayed out talents in the system.
Once he added a point to his talent, he could not change it. Therefore, he had to consider it carefully to prevent any regrets in the future.
In particular, he had to consider the complementary nature of his talents. It would be best if they would achieve the effect where their combination was greater than the sum of the individual parts.
As a result, he immediately excluded the weapon mastery talent.
