Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 35 The Schemer is Great

Bai Yang beamed with joy and said, "You don't need to worry about these small things, I have my own way of handling them."

Just give me a fair price.

Bai Pianqing and Lin Ran felt a chill run down their spines when they saw that he was not worried but happy.

He's serious! He's determined to take over the entire Bai family!

Bai Pianqing looked utterly hopeless, her face ashen, and she could no longer utter a word.

If she dares not agree, won't she face pressure from [Mount Hua], or even the entire Chinese military?

Lin Ran, having benefited greatly from the Bai family over the years, could only awkwardly reply:

"Well... Mr. Bai, there's really no precedent for this. Even if you want to buy it, I'll have to go to the alliance on behalf of the Bai family first..."

"Then it's up to Mr. Laurin," Bai Yang said directly, while gently patting his left shoulder with his right hand.

Lin Ran was instantly horrified!

Although he was a mentalist, the God of War realm was achieved through the physical abilities of a martial artist.

They just don't have the aptitude to fight three levels higher than Luo Feng.

Bai Yang's seemingly casual action was, in his heart, nothing less than a cataclysmic event.

The two were 2 meters apart when Bai Yang struck him with his palm, landing directly on his shoulder.

I only realized the other party had made a move after I had already been hit.

It is clear that mental cultivators are much more sensitive to their surroundings than martial artists.

He had actually been on guard in secret all along, but it was all to no avail!

If the two were to truly fight to the death, at this distance, he would have lost ten lives already.

Lin Ran suddenly felt a huge sense of suffocation, as if he were a fish that had been forcibly thrown ashore.

Leaving his familiar environment, he immediately sensed a life-or-death crisis.

He could only keep telling himself that he was a spiritualist!

Their specialty is ranged attacks, so in a real battle, the outcome is still uncertain!

He couldn't understand how the other party had directly broken through his mental perception, nor did he dare to think about it too deeply.

According to official information and in reality, Bai Yang, who is opposite us, is only a high-level warrior.

The two of them had no grudges against each other, so there was no need for them to fight!

Lin Ran nodded with a wry smile, deeply regretting that she had gotten herself involved in this mess.

When Bai Pianqing called him, wouldn't it have been better for him to just walk away?

It's such a shame to have gotten myself into this embarrassing situation just because of a moment of curiosity!

Bai Yang looked at the two people in front of him and thought it best to give them a taste of their own medicine.

So he said, "Aunt, Mr. Lin, don't be too discouraged. I can only tell you that once things on my end succeed..."

You will receive at least a hundred times the return. The Bai family will not only surpass the nine major families of the HR Alliance, but may even become independent and form its own power.

I keep my word.

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked up at him simultaneously. This young man, who had risen to prominence in less than two months, had indeed created many unprecedented achievements.

Perhaps there is even a sliver of a possibility?

Is what he's saying now also serious?

The Bai family didn't really have many options, so they had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Bai Yang left his contact information with the two of them, then got up to take his leave.

He has already presented the opportunity; whether the Bai family can seize it depends on themselves.

He was determined to get the war base, if the Bai family really refused to cooperate.

Then he could only seek investment from Hong and Thor, whose strength was far greater than his for the time being.

That would be much more passive than it is now, so of course we should avoid it if possible.

[Huashan] can help him solve some of the personnel problems, but it's the same as the time when he fought with the Limitless Martial Arts Hall.

That level of funding would never be approved.

However, it's always good to discuss it with everyone.

After finishing their business, Bai Yang and his companion immediately returned to Jingshan City and their underground base.

At this time, Jia Yi and Lu Ting had finished their meditation and resumed their daily work.

Bai Yang then met with Lu Ting and Mei Xiaqing to discuss the matter and assess how much support they could garner.

The two remained silent for a long time after listening to Bai Yang's thoughts in his office in Group Nine.

After a long pause, Lu Laoliu finally spoke, "You really are daydreaming. It's been about one or two decades since the era of base cities that no new war bases have been built."

It is said that this is related to the agreement reached between Hong and Lei Shen on behalf of humanity and the royal-level monsters in the sea.

If you do this, none of the "Gods of War and above" will be able to support you.

Bai Yang said, "I understand the principle of maintaining a balance between humans and sea monsters. If councilors could act at will, the major base cities wouldn't have to worry about land monsters anymore. That's why I want to rely on ourselves."

Mei Xiaqing sat to the side, constantly tapping and swiping on her tablet, calculating something.

At this point, he spoke up: "Each war base requires between 50,000 and 100,000 military personnel."

These are regular soldiers, which China can easily afford; the problem lies in the number of highly skilled individuals.

Normally, a base needs at least ten War Gods stationed there to ensure its safety.

Once a beast tide occurs, external assistance is often needed. Considering that establishing a base in that location would likely trigger a Level 1 beast tide.

It is recommended to invite at least 30 War Gods to participate in the battle.

In such battles, a single war god can often have the effect of tens of thousands.

Bai Yang considered it for a moment and agreed with Sister Mei's calculations. This number of people was necessary, and might not even be enough.

However, as long as the manpower is prepared before the Golden Horned Beast officially attacks, it will be fine.

There are over 3500 War Gods worldwide, so it wouldn't be too difficult to select some from among them to contribute their strength.

Lu Ting said, "It's not good to trouble other units with this kind of thing. Our fellow disciples from Huashan can probably gather the strength of five high-level war gods, and they will all come to help you."

Bai Yang nodded his thanks, saying that this was already very good and that things had gotten off to a good start.

The three discussed the details further and gained more confidence in the whole situation.

Improving his skills, saving money, and expanding his network will be Bai Yang's main focus in the future.

To make things easier for him, Jia Yi specially approved a staff of 50 people for the Ninth Group.

Bai Yang can select the personnel himself in the future, and just need to report to the headquarters periodically.

For many people, an official or formal identity is quite appealing.

His business in Kyoto base city is now completely over.

The HR Alliance has not yet given the Bai family a formal reply. It is said that Isadora, the president of the HR Alliance, also found it unbelievable after hearing about it.

She seemed to suspect that this was the intention of the Chinese government, so she needed to test the reaction within the alliance before giving a reply.

Bai Yang wasn't in a hurry; after all, this matter couldn't be resolved in just a month or two.

The most important thing now is to deal with the monster's body and increase our strength.
