Life Dungeon Game

The Nord Foundation shouldn't like the Norlanca Group, so it's already good enough if they don't get turned away when they approach them, let alone receive help.

This is Lina's way of thinking.

“No,” Heo gently shook his head, denying Lina’s idea, “They’ll do anything as long as it makes money.”

There will be another update during the day, so everyone should get some rest.

My friend's new book:

"The Holy King of the Martial Temple is My Father"

Chapter 482 Spread of Humidity

Limen Store

When He Ao woke up again in the hotel bed, night had already fallen.

The King of the Night in his field of vision still emitted a faint glow.

[Do you want to use two Exchange Stars to exchange for one day of use of 'King of the Night'? (Your current available Exchange Stars: 0)]

The character card's usage period has ended, and it looks like the price will increase the second time it's used.

Before finishing his character card, He said goodbye to the old butler Danilo and Lina, and then lay back down in the life support pod.

Danilo and Lina tacitly avoided asking about 'Vian's' life status.

For them, how Wei An woke up was not important; what mattered was the fact that he woke up at all.

Once someone wakes up, there will be a second, a third time.

He Ao got up from the bed and looked at the night view outside the window.

He raised his hand and glanced at the time.

Roger and Annie should have arrived in Kaya City by now.

The plan to transport the plane to Limen City was affected by Stars Pharmaceuticals and was not approved. In the end, Roger and Annie's means of transportation was changed to an airship under the Nolanca Group. During the flight, they had to bypass Stars Pharmaceuticals' sphere of influence, which greatly extended the travel time.

However, He Ao had already made arrangements for the two of them before the character cards expired, so this had little impact.

Both the mercenary groups from Nolanca Group and Stars Pharmaceuticals have arrived near Fortress City 146.

The two mercenary groups are currently locked in a tense standoff at a major transportation route outside Fortress City 146.

The eyes of the entire Federation were focused there.

The Federation had not seen a large-scale open war between conglomerates for many years, and this sudden event disrupted the rhythm of many people's lives.

The inquiry letter from the Federal Presidential Palace had already been sent to the board of directors of the Nolanca Group before Heo returned.

The federal government strictly prohibits armed wars between corporations.

Qunxing Pharmaceuticals likely received the same inquiry letter as well.

In response to the inquiry, He Ao held a press conference before leaving, reiterating that this was just a 'drill'.

The Nolanka Group has no intention of instigating any armed conflict.

In response to this claim, Qunxing Pharmaceuticals also held a press conference, stating that the Nolanca Group "crossed the boundaries of activity between various mercenary groups, entered the Qunxing Mercenary Group's defensive range without permission, and has seriously threatened the normal commercial trade of the Qunxing Pharmaceuticals caravan."

Nolanca Group denied Stars Pharmaceuticals' claims about the boundaries of their activities, citing the federal Mercenary Act, which states that all licensed mercenary groups are obligated to help emerging cities clear out nearby monsters and maintain security around the cities.

This law does exist, but without any profit, no corporation would be willing to send its mercenary groups to help others clear out the alien beasts.

Generally speaking, the consortium to which the mercenary group that helps defend a newly built city belongs will receive some preferential policies from that city, gain an advantage in the early competition, and even obtain a monopoly.

Although Starry Sky Pharmaceuticals had long ago included City 146 in its sphere of influence

Although it was surrounded, it rarely contributed to the construction and defense of City 146. The security of the entire city during its construction was basically achieved by the army directly under the Federal Central Government.

In short, Stars Pharmaceuticals wants to get on board but doesn't want to buy a ticket.

He Ao seized upon this legal loophole, sending a mercenary group to Fortress City 146 to intervene, buy the tickets first to gain a legal advantage, and then grab seats on the train.

Qunxing Pharmaceuticals was naturally unhappy with this snatching of meat from a tiger's mouth, but they couldn't provide any reasonable legal basis to prove that they had priority in City 146.

The only option is to send a wave of mercenaries back to Fortress 146 to confront the Nolanca Group, and then suppress the Nolanca Group elsewhere, relying on violence and power to seize control of the new city.

In fact, this was something He Ao had anticipated before sending troops, which is why Danny reminded him that City 146 was within the sphere of influence of Starry Sky Pharmaceuticals.

Without obtaining any legal basis, he only needs to announce that he has included this city in his trade zone, and other conglomerates will not be able to plunder it, otherwise they will face fierce retaliation.

This is the arrogance and overbearing nature of Starstar Pharmaceuticals, a super-large conglomerate ranked among the top ten in the Federation.

At this moment, Stars Pharmaceuticals should already be preparing retaliatory measures against the Nolanca Group. The longer it drags on, the greater the pressure on the Nolanca Group will be.

He looked up at the Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building in Limen City outside the window, took a coat from the coat rack and put it on.

He straightened his clothes and looked at the thin, upright middle-aged man in the hotel's full-length mirror.

He slightly lifted his coat and gazed at the neatly arranged test tubes inside.

The research institute's underground safe contained nineteen life potions and thirteen D-grade enhancement potions. Zadi had six C-grade enhancement potions on him, and he had initially obtained three life potions from Shadow.

Therefore, he now has a total of twenty-two life potions, thirteen D-grade enhancement potions, and six C-grade enhancement potions.

He had packed all the medicines into test tube bags that were glued to the inside of his coat.

He had originally planned to go back to get his coat after Aini left, but Aini brought it out for him instead.

The quantity of reagents was correct; Annie wouldn't touch his things without permission.

Short swords and bayonets should also be kept inside the coat.

He gazed at the man in the mirror.

From now on, he is alone again.

He walked to the door, took the top hat from the coat rack, and gently placed it on his head.

His initial goal was never to seize the market in City 146.

Among the armed forces of Star Pharmaceuticals near Fortress City 146, only the mercenary group stationed outside Limen City is closest and can quickly reach City 146 to confront the Nolanca Group's mercenary group and stop the Nolanca Group's actions.

As this standoff unfolds, the entire Federation's attention will be drawn to the vicinity of City 146 by Heo, and even the central government of the Federation will be drawn to this struggle.

For some people, this is the perfect opportunity.

He Ao slowly opened the hotel door and left the room.

The [King of the Night] character card's function is not just to allow him to...

Experiencing Wei An's life again for a short period of time would allow him to temporarily leverage his past achievements and have the ability to mobilize a large amount of resources for strategic planning.

He was still alone, but he was not entirely alone.

The hotel elevator descended rapidly, and with a crisp sound, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Directly in front of this hotel is the magnificent Star Pharmaceutical Building.

He Aoneng could see the tallest building in the store through the transparent glass wall filled with dazzling lights.

This city originally had two Class B units, but now there's only one.

He Ao walked out of the hotel building.

The moment he left the hotel lobby, he felt a certain dampness in the air.

Limen City is not far from the Storm Sea, and the overall humidity is relatively high, but the humidity that He Ao feels at this moment is far greater than the humidity he remembers before.

He looked up at the sky; the moon and stars had dimmed, and a hazy cloud obscured the heavens.

These clouds, reflecting the shimmering neon lights, slowly enveloped the city.

He reached out and grabbed at the air.

A damp breath seeped through his fingers; the air was so humid that it seemed as if water droplets could condense in the air.

The people coming and going on the street seemed oblivious to the change in the air; they were either in a hurry or laughing and joking, moving about in the gradually thickening clouds.

He straightened his clothes and walked slowly along the sidewalk.

"dad!"

A shout came from behind.

He Ao stopped and turned to look behind him.

A girl of about twelve or thirteen, who looked like she was in middle school, was peering into the shiny shop window, staring at the pretty little cakes inside.

"what happened?"

A man in an old overcoat slowly walked up from behind and stood behind the girl. Through his daughter's eyes, he saw the small cakes in the shop window.

He reached out and touched the swollen pocket of his coat.

"Look how pretty this cake is!"

The girl gazed at the cakes in the shop window, the bright lights reflecting in her pearl-like eyes, the shimmering colors creating the world she saw.

"Want to eat?"

The man behind him glanced at the electronic price tags in the shop window, rummaged in his coat pocket, raised his hand, and slowly revealed the corners of a few crumpled banknotes.

“I don’t want to eat this,” the girl immediately turned around, glancing at the man with a grin. “I can make this too.”

With her hands behind her back, she skipped and hopped forward. "Dad, let me tell you, I learned how to make a new mini cake. It may not look as pretty as this, but it's definitely tastier."

The man glanced at his daughter's retreating figure, then at the gleaming shop window, gave a wry smile, and withdrew his hand, which he had only partially extended.

He caught up with his daughter.

"Dad, you don't believe me if you don't say anything?" the girl said with a grin. "Then buy me some bread flour, and I'll make you some for breakfast. I've already picked it out."

She drew a circle in front of her, "This big bag costs five yuan."

"so cheap?"

The man asked, feigning surprise.
