“Ah, what… what do you want with me? I’m not the housekeeper,” Qin Muye looked somewhat helpless at the True Dragon Emperor’s words in the chat channel.

“Staying up all night is a terrible thing, so I’ve decided to pull an all-nighter.”

“We’ll need to change the effect though, from parasite to killing. Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies are neither Star Gods nor Cosmic Will, no worries about getting our teeth smashed in.”

“Hold on, isn’t there a problem with the time difference?” Qin Muye suddenly realized something. He and the True Dragon Emperor weren’t in the same star domain, so while it might be 6 p.m. on his side, it might not be the same on the other’s side.

“Damn, that sounds so easy…” Qin Muye complained to himself. He’d talked a big game, but as for the product, well, he was in the process of creating a new file.

“What a good person, you reminded me of my business before I even thought of it,” Qin Muye couldn’t help but remark.

“Black Hand, arrange for the capture of Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies of all levels; bring any rare species too. I want to see the first batch of test subjects within an hour,” Qin Muye instructed Black Hand before proceeding to arrange for the things he needed.

“Let’s just start with the planned tests for now.”

“To think I would encounter such a thing, it’s like a dream of my past life.”

“The difficulty isn’t high, it’s rather straightforward to target Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies.” Qin Muye found data on thought parasites; this thing could be used against them. After all, he had originally developed this thing as a preliminary experiment for combating the Cosmic Will, so dealing with Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Now there are just twelve hours left, that should be enough time,” Qin Muye said, somewhat uncertain.

“I should’ve said the day after tomorrow. Now it’s already 6 p.m.” After glancing at the time, Qin Muye still decided not to ask the True Dragon Emperor for a delay.

“The upper limit should be Level 7, it’s unlikely that Level 8 Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies will appear, after all even the Star Gods, who are the foundation of the Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies, are only Level 8, emptying a Star God wouldn’t produce a Level 8 Evil Thought Spiritual Body.”

“It seems, however, that Level 7 Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies have already appeared. This evolution is a bit too fast; it’s probably because the Star Gods are gradually maturing.”

[***: No, I advise you don’t just go looking for Star Gods for no good reason. Those are Level 8, and even if you threw your whole territory at one, it’s doubtful you could withstand it.]

[***: That thing is too expensive, you can’t afford to make it commonplace. But I do have a batch of weapons specialized against Spiritual Bodies. I’ll have Smile show you the samples tomorrow for a try, they’re definitely cheaper than Divine Artifacts.]

[***: Don’t worry, we have been cooperating for so long, when have there been accidents?]

[***: Present, what’s up?]

[…]

[Supreme Venerable: Okay.]

[Supreme Venerable: Who initiated it? Do you guys know? I’m currently having someone check out the status of his territory.]

[True Dragon Emperor: *** there?]

[True Dragon Emperor: No, I wanted to ask if you have the latest equipment to deal with Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies. The last batch of Stone Statue Ghost Armor and Demon Statue Level Mecha wasn’t enough to hold off the numerous Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies.]

[True Dragon Emperor: Alright, as soon as possible.]

[True Dragon Emperor: Investigate as soon as you can, this matter is probably no small issue.]

[True Dragon Emperor: The Heavenly Demon God is dead; his name has vanished from the leaderboard.]

[True Dragon Emperor: Recently, a considerable number of Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies have emerged, do you have any trace of Star Gods?]

Armor and Mecha might be expensive, but they don’t wear out easily. Even the lowest-quality Divine Artifact discards from Qin Muye’s warehouse are worthwhile, whereas fast-moving items like grenades and firearms have much higher profits.

But it’s ultimately a hassle; if Qin Muye’s cuckoo-in-the-nest plan succeeds, he will indeed need to deal with those Level 8s, as at that time, the world-destroying villain will have become just him.

Fighting and killing are different concepts. Level 8 ones are like cockroaches; death might not mean truly dead, they could repeatedly bounce back.

Qin Muye still offered a reminder; after all, he’s a major client, it would be best not to let them die if possible.

The sheer number of Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies was astonishing. In the three months Qin Muye was away, they had nearly become a Spiritual Energy tide.

Fortunately, Qin Muye maintained good relations with the various major forces, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to purchase what he needed.

Because he had to deliver a sample by tomorrow, Qin Muye had no choice but to work overtime even though he usually didn’t have any time off.

The chat channel was very lively, with the True Dragon Emperor and Supreme True One talking. They had also sought out Qin Muye, but he ignored them.

That was about selling disposable items, opting for a strategy of modest profit but high turnover.

With so many at Level 8, how could Qin Muye possibly kill them all.

Qin Muye quickly sprang into action. Since he had boasted big, as long as he delivered, it wouldn’t be boasting–it would be true capability.

Qin Muye might be greedy, but he also knew how to be greedy.

Qin Muye pondered for a moment, wanting to see what exactly the other party intended to do.

The reason why Qin Muye had nothing here was that he wasn’t on any planet at all; the Endless Abyss was always floating in the cosmos.

Qin Muye knew that it was unreliable to expect the True Dragon Emperor to buy a large number of Divine Artifacts; the other party simply couldn’t afford them, so Qin Muye had to consider a different sales approach.

If he were to help the True Dragon Emperor, he would unquestionably lend a hand for free rather than extort like the Heavenly Demon God, and for a simple reason–a powerful True Dragon Emperor could offer him much more benefits, while someone like the Heavenly Demon God couldn’t bring him any gain, so of course he would take advantage of the situation to rob them blind and then cover his tracks.

Even Qin Muye could offer deals like buying bullets and giving away the gun, or buying missiles and throwing in the launch pit–there were no issues with that, after all, it was only the beginning of the event. The True Dragon Emperor surely wanted to earn points, not just to save himself.

He acquired Divine Artifacts but lost the chance to see a cash crop that would pay for his experiments.

He couldn’t very well admit that he was the one who had destroyed the Heavenly Demon God, for that would have made the atmosphere awkward.

After adjusting for the time difference, Qin Muye’s face was somewhat darkened.

There were no Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies on the Civilization’s Son Weapon, because there was no life on that planet, hence no appearance of Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies.

The Endless Abyss didn’t belong to any planet or this world; it was protected by cosmic barriers and suppressed by various Territory Traits. To generate an Evil Thought Spiritual Body here was wishful thinking; it would likely be corrupted by the Abyss Power the moment it was formed.

Compared to the Supreme True One, Qin Muye had a backup plan, so he could unhesitatingly choose to earn points. Didn’t you notice the Supreme True One keeping quiet? Because he had to figure out how to survive this long-term event first–Level 8 Star Gods were not something they could deal with.

To create targeted products, Qin Muye needed sufficient data.

Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies would only appear on planets with civilizations.

Research certainly required various equipment and resources, aside from experimental subjects, there were certainly other things, too. Most of these were available in the Endless Abyss, which made mobilizing them rather fast.

To say there was enough time was definitely not a problem, but this peculiar pressure gave him the illusion of the night before school started and he hadn’t finished his homework, that miraculous operation where he alone with a pen could conjure a miracle in one night.

Since they were born from the resentment of planets, their strength, quantity, and emergence were all unexpectedly different.

With the help of Dead Silence Hand, he really wasn’t afraid of being mobbed by these Level 8s, but even with that, Qin Muye still couldn’t beat them; he just wasn’t scared of them attacking him.

After some testing, Qin Muye could confirm one thing–now, if all the Level 8s in the entire Shining Universe server came at him at once, he could knock each one down with a single punch.

The strengths of these Evil Thought Spiritual Bodies were quite considerable; they might be mere chopping vegetables for Qin Muye, since he had the financial capacity, but for others, it was not so easy.

The True Dragon Emperor was indeed rich, but Qin Muye understood one thing: he could only drain resources from the other party if they were wealthy. It wasn’t about uprooting his source; besides, the other party was cooperating very well with him, and had not offended him, so why do something detrimental to both sides.

The number of Stone Statue Ghost Armor and Demon Statue Level Mecha at the True Dragon Emperor’s disposal was far from enough when compared to his troops and heroes.

The True Dragon Emperor also saw through Qin Muye’s intent but chose not to point it out–a testament to the fact that although resources were important to him, points were even more so.

As long as the other party provided money and resources, that made them a good brother to Qin Muye.

As long as the price was just beyond the other party’s comfort threshold, he could typically earn much more than by selling them equipment.

And for what they didn’t have, the purchasing department would have to buy them. Otherwise, what else could be done–it’s not like they could just quit.
