Honkai Impact

Just as a bustling city has filthy sewers, everything has two sides, black and white. Yae Ji had seen this in the anime Tokyo Ghoul as well; those ghouls loved dark, narrow alleys the most.

As Yaeji walked down the street, she turned and entered a winding alley. After turning around and around, the alley seemed no different from other places except for the trash cans and the trash scattered around them.

Wearing a hood and with his hands in his pockets, Yae no Kiyoshi looked just like any other idle youth. In reality, he was observing everything he could see out of the corner of his eye.

"click~"

Yae Ji heard footsteps behind him, but he did not stop.

There were at least three people behind them. Judging from the footsteps, the newcomers were fairly strong, but they were still far from being as physically gifted as ghouls.

Unless they are ghouls who have been starving for many days

"Hey kid! Stop right there!"

He let out a shout in a voice as loud as a drake.

Yae-ji stopped in her tracks.

"Hahaha! Guys, we saw it! This cool kid got scared by us!"

Hahaha! ~

When Yae turned around, she saw that the leader was a black man with dreadlocks, while the other two had shaved heads and strange tattoos on their faces.

The young man in the lead paused for a moment, instinctively, upon seeing Yae Ji's eerie eyes. Then, with a wicked grin, he drew the small knife from his waist.

"Listen, hand over all your valuables!"

Yae Ji was still sizing up the other person. Judging from the other person's mental state and various actions, he seemed to be just an ordinary thug.

With a hint of disappointment in her eyes, Yaeji turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey kid, stop right there! Didn't you hear me?"

"Hey boss, that looks like a girl," someone behind us pointed out.

Just as Yae Ji turned around to leave, he was filled with black lines. He decided that he was going to teach the other party a lesson!

When Yae Ki stopped again, the black gang leader relaxed his guard, thinking that his intimidation had worked.

In fact, they have used this method to intimidate many people, and have almost always succeeded. This time should be no exception.

The black boss with dreadlocks met Yae Ji's gaze once again, and as the two drew closer, the black boss's smile deepened.

"I've changed my mind now." The dreadlocks grinned. "Don't let your physique fool you, you're actually quite handsome."

Just as the man with the dreadlocks reached out to hook Yae Kiyoshi's chin, he suddenly felt a tremendous force strike him! It felt like he'd been hit by a car!

"Boom!—"

The two thugs gaped, glancing at the picture of their boss hanging on the other wall behind them, then at Yae Ji, who was still in a kicking position, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Oh no! It's a ghoul! Run!"

"Run! The ghouls are coming!"

"A man-eating monster is coming!"

Yae Ji watched expressionlessly as the two thugs shouted and ran out of the alley.

He stretched out his long, slender hand from his pocket and touched his chin. He had seen it in the mirror long ago; when his body was dressed as a man, no one would mistake him for a woman.

"Tsk."

Yaeji put her hands back in her pockets and turned to continue walking towards another alley.

A whole week!

Yae even fought a fight with a gang hidden in the corners of the city alleys, but still couldn't find a single ghoul.

If he hadn't been able to find news about ghouls eating people online every day, he would have thought he had come to the wrong world!

Left with no other option, Yae Ji had to use his connections to find mercenaries active on certain battlefields.

When they heard that Yaeji wanted them to take special weapons to Yingzhou to capture ghouls, they either refused or tried to raise the price.

Ultimately, a mercenary group agreed to capture ghouls for Yae Ki, but not in Yingzhou, but elsewhere.

Their reason was that Yingzhou was too dangerous.

At that moment, Yae Ji felt like a million curses were stampeding through her mind. You guys are mercenaries! What kind of mercenaries are you if you're afraid of dying?

Finally, both sides compromised: the mercenary team would capture live ghouls for Yae Kiyoshi, but only those below S-rank. Prices would be calculated based on ghoul rank, with female ghouls being slightly more expensive.

Yae Aki: "???"

The laboratories scattered around the world all need ghouls for research, and Yae Kiyoshi can only afford to spend money once. In fact, he has already "squandered" most of the money he earned during the financial crisis.

After buying various stocks, acquiring various companies, and supporting various experiments, Yae Aki felt that she should enter a period of reflection.

However, before that, he made a phone call to his assistant.

"How about we acquire Blackwater International?"

Chapter 5 begins (3/3)

"Sir, please wait a moment."

A woman's pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

She is Yae Kiyoshi's current assistant, Christine, a Harvard graduate. Yae Kiyoshi is able to find time to exercise amidst her busy work schedule thanks to her.

“Sir,” Christine replied on the other end of the phone, “I must remind you that Blackwater International was embroiled in another scandal in February. If we make an acquisition offer for Blackwater at this time, some of the scandals may be transferred to our Destiny Holdings.”

"In fact, we don't have enough funds to acquire this company. If you wish, we can only operate through a merger and cross-shareholding scheme."

Yae Ji raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then forget it, Christine. Do you have any better ideas?"

"If you wish, we can acquire a small security company to safeguard your safety."

"Do it this way. Put all the documents on my desk tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, sir."

As time passed, Yaeji, relying on the information from the dream world, made many strategic moves. In just three years, amidst the turbulent global economic landscape, he built the legendary Tianming Holdings, spanning real estate, healthcare, finance, transportation, entertainment, and the internet.

The person in charge of destiny does not like to appear in public, and most people do not even know who the person in charge of destiny is.

Yae Kiyoshi was still standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of her office, but this time, the company's location had changed to one of the most bustling areas in New York.

He was still holding a wine glass, but the liquid inside still felt so out of place.

"Bang bang~"

"Please come in."

Christine walked into the office carrying a folder, placed a stack of documents on the desk, and said, "Sir, Rojas Lab has made a breakthrough, and they would like to invite you to the lab."

"Rojas?" Yae Ji searched her mind for her biological laboratories all over the world. The Rojas laboratory seemed to be a laboratory for camouflage and protection.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go tomorrow. Please prepare my itinerary."

"Yes, sir."

Christine bowed slightly, then looked up at Yaeji standing by the French windows.

This legendary figure, Northbrook Kaslana, has always been someone to admire, even her hobbies are so unique.

Christine glanced at the wine glass in Yaeji's hand again, then slowly left the office.

Yae Ji turned and walked towards her desk, finishing the cola in her cup as she did so.

After reading the Rojas Labs report, Yae Ji became slightly interested. She then casually used the computer to purchase $1,000 worth of Bitcoin.

At first, he took Bitcoin and gambling very seriously, but now he only plays around with them when he's bored. He doesn't care whether he makes money or not, since he has plenty of money anyway.

He started buying Bitcoin in 2009, when it was about one thousand Bitcoins for one dollar.

Just thinking about how this guy's popularity would skyrocket a few years from now makes Yae Ji laugh.

Nothing is more interesting than being a prophet.

Rojas Laboratory, Sweden.

The head of the laboratory was passionately recounting their research findings to Yae.

"Boss, please look. This thin protective layer does not affect the shape or comfort of the clothing at all, but it can greatly reduce the damage."

The person in charge wore a special "bulletproof vest" developed from ghouls, and could remain unharmed even when stabbed with a knife or shot with bullets.

“This thing is really good,” Yae Ji said, and the person in charge also suddenly beamed with joy.

"The clothes won't tear, but if the pressure is too high, it could kill the person inside, right?" Yae Ji flipped through the report. "We need to replenish special energy if necessary? Postpone that for now. I asked you to research clothing to combat ghouls."

"Boss, this way, please." The person in charge walked to the side and said, "We added an outer layer made of XRC material to the thin bulletproof vest. Once a ghoul attacks, as long as the ghoul punctures or bites through the XRC material layer with its flesh, a large amount of XRC-670 gas will be released inside, which can reduce the activity of the RC cells in the ghoul's body to freezing point in a very short time, rendering it unable to fight."

The person in charge didn't quite understand why their boss was so insistent on this direction, but since they were paid to do the work, their lab could only conduct research according to their boss's requirements.

The person in charge continued, "This upgraded gaseous XRC can render A-rank ghouls completely powerless, and according to estimates, S-rank ghouls will also be affected. In fact, we've always wanted to find an S-rank ghoul for our experiments."

Yaeji interrupted him, "What harm does it cause to the human body?"

The person in charge thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "The sudden release of gas may irritate a person's nasal cavity, causing them to sneeze."

Yae Ji: "That's it?"

The person in charge said, "They might still cough. Also, clothes designed this way are about three times heavier than regular clothes."

Yae Aki: "There's not much difference in appearance, is there?"

The person in charge said, "Absolutely not, please rest assured."

The supervisor had a researcher put on special clothing and come to the experimental site. Then, an A-rank ghoul was released from the other side of the laboratory.

Once the berserk ghoul tore through the experimenter's clothing, the nearly transparent gas rapidly entered the ghoul's body, and the A-rank ghoul immediately lay motionless on the ground like a dead dog.

Yae was fairly satisfied, and then he went to visit other things being researched in Rojas's laboratory.

Research on the 'face', a derivative of ghoul skin.

The person in charge instructed the staff to operate on-site, measure Ya Chongji's face shape, and quickly print out a "face skin".
