Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely.

Hong Qi became serious: "Please enlighten me, Master."

Huang Yu said slowly, "Ah Qi, you need to have a longer-term vision, be bolder, and have a strategic perspective!"

“Zhangzhou and Quanzhou may seem prosperous, but they are not the centers of Fujian.”

"Fujian's administrative center, Fuzhou, and its economic center, Xiamen, they haven't left us out at all."

"These two places are the key to our control over Fujian."

Hong Qi asked in confusion, "Then should we ask them for it and demand that we be stationed in these two places?"

Huang Yu tapped Hong Qi's head: "Some things can't be asked for; you can only get them by taking them by force."

"Remember, no one's promises to you count; only what you can decide for yourself counts!"

Hong Qi seemed to understand something, then revealed a simple smile: "Master keeps his promises. You have never lied to us."

Huang Yu shook his head and chuckled, "Do you understand what to do now?"

"Understood!"

A fierce glint appeared in Hong Qi's eyes as he said seriously:

"Our strategy was flawed before; we were only thinking about how to survive and live in a corner of the world."

"You've forgotten, we are actually the strongest competitors in all of Fujian!"

Huang Yu nodded and said, "That's right. We've been setting up our plans in Fujian for so long, not so that others can reap the benefits."

"Only we would think about doing something practical, developing education and improving people's lives, rectifying official corruption, and planning industrial production..."

"Ha, those warlords wouldn't care about these things."

"Under our unified planning, Hu Jiancai has the potential for further development."

Hong Qi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Master, rest assured, we will certainly not let you down!"

Huang Yu continued to instruct, "While they are still unaware of General Luo's true strength, you and Shuangying must take the lead in launching an uprising, occupy Fucheng and Xiamen first, and solidify your position."

“I will have Jimmy cooperate with you. General Luo’s First Brigade is already under his control.”

"Your attack on Fucheng will not encounter much resistance."

"I, General Luo, will be announced as dying from my morbid injuries in a little over a week."

"You should seize this opportunity yourselves."

"Understood!" Hong Qi nodded, then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Huang Yu asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Hong Qi hesitated and said, "Master, do you think the people outside might have already realized that we're in cahoots?"

"After all, these things are too strange, whether it's my and Shuangying's rapid rise to power, or your role as General Luo..."

Huang Yu laughed and said, "That's not the case. At most, we can only assume that there is an unknown force controlling everything in Fujian."

"However, it's nothing serious, they won't care."

"Right now, everyone's focus is on the Northern Expedition, on the struggle for control of the Central Plains!"

"Hujian is a remote place with many mountains and little farmland, scarce mineral resources, and inconvenient transportation..."

"No matter who occupies Fujian, they will not have the capital to contend for the world."

"So as long as we nominally submit and don't cause trouble behind our backs, that's enough."

Hong Qi looked thoughtful. So that's what his master was thinking.

He continued, "Master, according to you, doesn't Fujian have no advantages? Then what is Fujian's future?"

Huang Yu dipped his hands in the tea and drew a brief map of Fujian and Dongning Island on the map.

"Although Fujian is resource-poor, it still has its important aspects, and is extremely important."

Huang Yu pointed to Dongning Island:

"Dongning Island is still occupied by the Japanese!"

"With Dongning Island as their base, the Japanese can blockade our entire coastline and launch an attack on the southeast coast from Dongning!"

"The southeastern coast will never be peaceful!"

Hong Qi's expression turned serious, realizing the problem at hand.

The southeastern region, stretching from Jiangsu and Shanghai all the way to Guangzhou, is arguably the most economically developed region in China.

Such an economically developed region has always been under the enemy's fangs. Should it still develop its economy?

Huang Yu continued:

"But on the other hand, if we successfully recapture Dongning..."

"Fujian and Dongning are mutually supportive, the Dongning Strait will become an inland sea of ​​China, and Fujian will become a strategic rear area."

"With the help of Dongning, China can fundamentally break through the maritime blockade and significantly extend the defensive depth of the southeast coast eastward to the Pacific Ocean!"

"From this point on, China's overall security situation will be completely reversed."

At this point, Huang Yu stared into Hong Qi's eyes and said softly:

"Have you figured it out, Ah Qi?"

"We are not warlords. Occupying Fujian is not our goal, but merely a means to an end."

"Ultimately, warlordism will disappear from the land of China; do not be obsessed with it."

"All we have to do is lay some foundations before that time comes."

Hong Qi nodded solemnly: "Master, I understand. I will explain it to my fellow disciples as well!"

Huang Yu waved his hand: "Alright, go make the arrangements."

……

Chapter 156 Human Soul Candle, Fairy Market?

After arranging everything, Huang Yu completely stayed at home in his mansion and relaxed.

He would occasionally handle some government affairs and keep an eye on the situation, but otherwise, he would wait a few days until it was announced that General Luo had died from his serious injuries and then leave.

As for the various plans of Xinghuo Academy and Huateng Group, Huang Yu believed in his disciples and thought they could handle it all.

Hehe, after all, he used his talent as a teacher to "teach according to aptitude" to successfully guide his disciples onto the right path.

Almost anyone who can find their talent and has a good platform can grow into an outstanding person.

Having put aside worldly affairs, Huang Yu finally had time to seriously study his recent gains, as well as to practice alchemy and black magic.

Tsk, Huang Yu thinks he's almost ready to successfully change jobs to Alchemist and Mage, probably within the next few days.

I've already mastered the basics of blood alchemy and stealth black magic; all I need to do is continue practicing step by step.

If I hadn't been so busy lately, dealing with the Fish and Dragon Society and the Big Black Buddha, my proficiency would have improved a lot by now.

While practicing alchemy and dark magic, Huang Yu also studied some of the magical items he had previously acquired.

For example, bronze sculptures, tomb guardian beasts, the imperial seal, and candles shaped like human souls...

In front of Huang Yu was a brocade box containing five black candles, the candles decorated with distorted human figures.

"What exactly is the purpose of this candle?"

Huang Yu was puzzled. He couldn't figure out the other items for the time being, but the human soul candle, according to the previous [Heavenly Evolution] hint, only needed to be lit to know its effect.

The deduction is difficult, and the ins and outs are unknown. Huang Yu has encountered this situation many times.

For example, Zhuge Liang, Yao Guangxiao, and Dahei Fo were all extremely powerful beings.

Or rather, it was as if one had touched upon the existence of immortals...

"Could it be that what's behind this human soul candle is also related to immortals?"

Huang Yu revealed an expression of great interest and used [Heavenly Evolution] again to calculate the risks behind it.

Well, I can't deduce any major risks, and the [Crisis Warning] talent doesn't seem to be reacting much, so I guess I can give it a try.

"Call Master Zuo, Zhang Jingqing, and Zhang Zhiwei over. I refuse to believe that there is any extraordinary person in the world who can subdue the four of us!"

Huang Yu is not intimidated by anything that is not a true immortal being.

Those who truly become immortals have long since left this world, leaving behind at most some lineage and inheritance, posing no threat whatsoever.

A moment later, at Huang Yu's invitation, Zuo Ruotong and the other two arrived at the mansion.

"Ayu, what do you need us for?"

Zuo Ruotong narrowed her eyes slightly and saw Huang Yu take out a human soul candle and stand it upright on the table. She instantly guessed Huang Yu's intention.

Huang Yu smiled and said, "Master, do you remember the candles we seized earlier?"

Zuo Ruotong said, "Of course I remember. This thing is an evil object."

Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei showed expressions of interest. If it could be described as an evil thing by Zuo Ruotong, then they had to take a good look at it.

Zhang Jingqing picked up the candle and examined it, then her brows furrowed sharply: "Is this the breath of a human soul?"

Huang Yu explained, "That's right, it's the breath of a human soul, and it's probably made by refining human souls."

"Where did you get it?"

"I obtained it by chance from a tomb raider. It's said to be from a royal tomb from the Western Han Dynasty..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei was slightly taken aback: "Western Han Dynasty? Isn't that more than a thousand years ago? How come this candle is so well preserved?"

Huang Yu said, "This is the strange thing about the human soul candle... I tried to calculate it in the inner vision, but I found that I couldn't calculate anything at all. The price to pay is too high."

"The only thing we can figure out is how to use this candle."

"We only need to light it to understand the secret behind the candle."

Zhang Zhiwei said, "So, you mean we should light this candle together and see the secret behind it?"

Huang Yu asked with a smile, "So, are you interested?"

"I'm not bragging, but anything in this world that I find hard to fathom involves some rather powerful beings."
