Chapter 134: The Great Devil King
Chapter 134: The Great Devil King
In his past life and current life, living two lifetimes, if someone asked Jiang Xincheng what his biggest hobby was, it was undoubtedly eating. Or you could say Jiang Xincheng was a complete and total food lover.
Unfortunately, for most of his past life, he had no money. He lived a rough and unstable life, with pain and regret always haunting him. So, Jiang Xincheng, who loved to eat, never got to properly enjoy delicious foods from different places.
When he got old, although he had plenty of money and his younger sister took very good care of him, he was already elderly. His appetite was much worse than before. Even with all kinds of delicious dishes in front of him, Jiang Xincheng wanted to eat but couldn’t manage it. He could only eat a little bit before feeling full. This was, without a doubt, a huge regret.
Now reborn in this life, besides training hard, Jiang Xincheng naturally did not forget to make up for his past life’s regret about food. So during breaks from his cultivation, Jiang Xincheng would buy local delicacies to properly taste. It didn’t take much time and didn’t delay his training, but it allowed him to relax and ease his tense spirit. This way, he could throw himself into cultivation with even more energy.
On one hand, he could satisfy his hobby and fully enjoy good food. On the other hand, he could relax his mind and then train even harder. Killing two birds with one stone—why wouldn’t he do it? So Jiang Xincheng did not plan to give up this habit of his.
Thinking carefully, in both his past and current life, he didn’t have many hobbies. He wasn’t fond of smoking and didn’t like drinking. His only hobby was enjoying delicious food. Sadly, even this one hobby wasn’t satisfied in his past life. Along with the regrets of his past life, it seemed this hobby was becoming even stronger in his current life. Luckily, this hobby didn’t hinder his cultivation; instead, it helped it.
And because of everything he experienced in his past life, Jiang Xincheng gained another, even more crazy obsession: cultivation. One regret after another, pain again and again, nights filled with remorse—these made Jiang Xincheng fall madly in love with cultivation. He longed to gain stronger power and possess more terrifying combat ability.
Standing at a higher peak, having greater strength, and protecting the people around him—this was his biggest wish and hobby in his reborn life.
For Jiang Xincheng, cultivation was no longer just about seeking revenge and making up for regrets. It had become a hobby, an obsession for which he had prayed devoutly his whole previous life, and only then was he reborn. It was a crazy, devil-like obsession.
Moreover, for people in the Primordial Force era, eating was no longer something both painful and enjoyable.
The painful part naturally was that eating too much could make people fat. The enjoyable part was, of course, the delicious taste of good food. But in the era of Primordial Force cultivation, even if you ate a lot of delicious food, as long as you cultivated Primordial Force properly, you could use Primordial Force to erase fat. So no matter how much delicious food you ate, you wouldn’t get fat.
Oh, right, Jiang Xincheng forgot one thing. That somewhat difficult Primordial Force application technique of using Primordial Force to erase fat would only appear thirty years later. Right now, on Earth, this Primordial Force technique that would become popular worldwide hadn’t appeared yet.
In his past life, after this technique appeared, the entire planet was swept up in a food lover frenzy. Countless beautiful women who usually didn’t dare eat much to maintain their figures rushed madly to all kinds of food shops. They ate and drank wildly, not caring about their image, shocking countless people.
The media reported on it repeatedly, journalists took pictures everywhere, and various TV programs broadcast it live. It was as if the people on Earth had turned into starving ghosts overnight. It was said that in that month, Earth’s food consumption equaled a whole year’s usual consumption. You could imagine how much people on Earth ate that month.
But now, the only person who knew this Primordial Force technique was Jiang Xincheng. And Jiang Xincheng wasn’t planning to spread this Primordial Force technique yet. So Jiang Xincheng wasn’t worried about getting fat and affecting his performance.
A smile crossed his face. Full and satisfied, Jiang Xincheng sat on the sofa to rest for a bit. He conveniently turned on his Handheld Computer to see if there were any suitable quests for him.
After browsing for a while, Jiang Xincheng’s eyebrows rose. “Destroy Weiliang’s first generation, save the world’s peace. Three-Star Quest. What is the Flourishing Tang Empire up to? Weiliang Company sounds somewhat familiar. Oh, I remember. In my past life, it was one of the top ten super corporations in the Shenxia Alliance, one of the fastest-rising world Top 100 group companies. I didn’t expect that sixty years ago, Weiliang Company was only this small. And it seems they developed some terrifying chemical agent. This Three-Star Quest is interesting. I must take it and see.”
Smiling slightly, Jiang Xincheng clicked to accept the quest and received this Three-Star Quest.
Yuanming Tower was thirty-six stories high and covered a very large area. It was one of the most famous buildings in Liangnian City. Although not too tall, because of its good environment, large area, and very reasonable layout on each floor, it became a desired location for many companies in Chuandu Province.
Even many large companies from the entire Shenxia Alliance had branches in Yuanming Tower. Weiliang Company, with assets of only about ten million and newly established, was located in Yuanming Tower too, but on the underground ninth floor, in a very remote spot. Even so, being able to set up in Yuanming Tower showed that Weiliang Company had some connections and strength.
Weiliang Company occupied a quarter of the space on the underground ninth floor. Almost everyone in the company was a girl, and all were young girls. Over eighty percent were recently graduated students from prestigious universities who liked things related to makeup.
The entire company had over twenty people. There were only two men, both in their thirties, uncle-types. Their positions in the company were security guards. The rest were young women in their twenties and thirties. It was an extremely young, fashionable company, full of youthful energy.
“Sister Lingling, I brought Experimental Product No.2 over. Our Experimental Product No.1 is pretty good, why are we in such a hurry to develop Experimental Product No.2? When will Experimental Product No.1 be turned into a finished product?”
“Sister Wenwen, after work today, come watch a movie with me. I don’t have a boyfriend yet, so I have no one to watch movies with. How about it? I’ll treat you.”
“Sister Wan, quickly develop Experimental Product No.1 into a finished product. Once we make money, let’s move to the upper floors of the tower. It’s too dark underground; it always feels stuffy.”
…
While busy with their own work, the group of girls chattered away, full of the lively, pretty energy belonging to girls. Combined with the perfume scent drifting throughout the company, it created a unique charm.
These confident, energetic young women developing new products had no idea that a disaster was heading their way. With one misstep, the entire Weiliang Company could be finished. And the great devil king who was about to bring them disaster was none other than Jiang Xincheng.
At this very moment, Jiang Xincheng was leading a hundred elite police officers from the Department of Public Security, marching grandly toward the underground ninth floor. They looked fierce and imposing, full of authority.
