Chapter 308: Soul (1/2)

Chapter 308 Soul

The system said: "Host, you don't need to help her increase her popularity. You only need to give Li Mengqi two pills when she is in danger to help her avoid this disaster."

"Elixir?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he was a little surprised. He thought the system asked him to save the earth, but he didn't expect the system to ask him to save people. This was a bit embarrassing!

But after thinking about it, Chen Hao was relieved. The earth is a technologically backward planet, and no one knows about things like martial arts and magic. Even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn't be able to change anything.

Since nothing can be changed, why does Chen Hao have to change?

Chen Hao said: "Okay, prepare the elixir for me. After the mission I promised you is completed, what treasure will you reward me?"

The system said: "Don't worry, the rewards will definitely be generous."

Chen Hao said: "Okay, bring me the elixir."

Seeing that Chen Hao had agreed to join Li Wentao's organization, the man took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Chen Hao, saying, "This is the elixir."

Chen Hao took the jade bottle, opened the cork, and poured it out. Suddenly, a rich fragrance hit his nostrils.

This elixir was golden yellow, about the size of a fist, and exuded a soft golden light. It looked quite beautiful. After Chen Hao put it into the storage space, he said: "Send me to Li Wentao's office." Bar."

"This..." the man hesitated.

Chen Hao said: "Why, are you still afraid that I will suffer a loss? If I really wanted to kill him, he would have died a thousand years ago."

"That's not true." The man quickly denied it and said, "Since you insist on seeing Director Li, I will send you there."

Chen Hao said: "Well, then let's go quickly."

"Okay." The man nodded and led Chen Hao out of the iron cage.

After leaving the iron cage, he did not walk directly towards Li Wentao's office, but came to the courtyard of the villa. This villa was very beautifully built, with rockeries, ponds, gardens and other facilities.

Chen Hao and the man wandered aimlessly in the yard while admiring the surrounding environment.

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived in front of the office building where Li Wentao was located.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, the lights of the office building were bright, and the front desk of the lobby was full of bodyguards. Apparently there were clients visiting.

After Chen Hao and Chen Hao arrived at the front desk of the lobby, they first reported their names, and then were led by the staff into the elevator.

After taking the elevator to the top floor, they were led outside the president's office by the staff.

Chen Hao opened the door and saw a luxuriously decorated scene with carpets and priceless antique porcelain on the walls. After the curtains in the room were opened, there was a warm and pleasant feeling. , people can’t help but indulge in it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties was sitting behind the desk.

When the middle-aged man saw Chen Hao, he immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "You must be Mr. Yang. I, Li Wentao, welcome Mr. Yang to my humble home."

"Haha." Chen Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you are too polite."

Li Wentao said: "Wherever, Mr. Yang please come in and let's talk slowly."

"Director Li, I won't go in." Chen Hao pointed to the box in the man's hand and said, "This is what you are looking for. I have brought it over."

"Mr. Yang, you are really my noble man!" Li Wentao took the mahogany box with great excitement, then held it in his arms, opened the box and checked it. After confirming that the goods were genuine, he showed a bright smile to Chen Hao, And said: "Mr. Yang, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done."

Li Wentao's tone was very sincere, without any hint of hypocrisy.

Chen Hao smiled and said: "Director Li is serious, I am just doing something with a little effort."

Li Wentao said: "In any case, on behalf of all the members of the Li family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

After that, he asked his secretary to make tea for Chen Hao.

After the tea was served, Li Wentao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then continued to say to Chen Hao: "Mr. Yang, please wait a moment, I will immediately arrange a banquet of the highest standard for you."

Li Wentao has been able to get to this point, so he naturally knows how to watch people's actions. Although he cannot see through Chen Hao's background, he can vaguely feel that Chen Hao's background is by no means simple, and may be even greater than the power of the Li family.

After all, Li Wentao is only a chairman of the Li Group, not the helmsman of the Li Group. He is not qualified to attend the gatherings of those big guys, nor does he have the right to investigate who has a strong background!

"No, Uncle Li." Chen Hao shook his head lightly and refused: "I just heard from the police officer that it seems that the area is not peaceful. It would be better for me to leave as soon as possible."

Li Wentao smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Mr. Yang, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I really want to entertain you well. But if you don't dislike it, we can change the place and I can invite you to Li's house as a guest."

Chen Hao said: "It's better to skip it, Uncle Li. I like to live alone. It's too troublesome to go to Li's house."

"This..." Li Wentao was a little worried. He was in urgent need of spiritual crystals, but he did not dare to violate the company's rules and keep Chen Hao in the Li Group.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Mr. Yang, please wait a moment, I will go get something right away."

He stood up, walked out of the office, went to another office next door, and returned after a while, holding a small box.

The small box was made of a special material. It looked like metal, but it was very hard. It could only be broken by a full-strength attack from a Xuan-level early cultivator. In addition, this material seemed to have the function of defending the divine consciousness, so ordinary people could not see it at all, and even the divine consciousness could not detect it.

"Mr. Yang, this is the 'Soul Stone'. We have one here. You can use it to refine the Soul Pill." After Li Wentao took out the box, he opened the lid. There were two black stones inside the box, one the size of a thumb and the other the size of an egg.

Chen Hao knew that the Soul Stone was extremely rare on Earth, and it didn't even exist, because it could only be regarded as junk in the world of cultivation.

As the name suggests, the Soul Stone is a stone condensed from the soul. It has miraculous effects in refining tools and pills. It not only has the effect of improving intelligence and increasing cultivation, but also helps cultivators break through bottlenecks.

However, the Soul Stone is not common in the world of immortal cultivation. Basically, it will mutate every once in a while, transforming from the original ordinary ore into a spirit stone.

Once this mutated stone is discovered, it will attract a large number of immortal cultivators to snatch it, so an ordinary Soul Stone is worth millions of spirit coins.

These two Soul Stones are about one pound in weight. If they are sold according to the market price, the price is estimated to be more than 10 million.

"Uncle Li, your gift is too heavy, I feel ashamed to accept it." Chen Hao said, and he was about to reach out to take the two Soul Stones. Although he didn't know what level these two Soul Stones were, he estimated that they should not be lower than the yellow grade.

"Haha, Mr. Yang, you are polite. Although these two stones are precious, compared with my daughter's life, what are they?" Li Wentao said.

The reason why he was so generous was mainly because he wanted to make friends with Chen Hao. He felt that Chen Hao's origin was definitely extraordinary.

"Yeah." Chen Hao hummed lightly and retracted his right hand. Since the other person was so straightforward, he would not be hypocritical. Besides, he also needed the soul stone.

"Uncle Li, you are busy. I will leave first." Chen Hao stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

Li Wentao also stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, please wait a moment. I will see you off." After that, he personally sent Chen Hao to the gate of the group and watched him leave.

...

Chen Hao just walked out of the Li Group and encountered an Audi A6 with a military license plate driving into the parking lot.

"This car is the signature car of our Li Group." After seeing the license plate number, Chen Hao's mind flashed. He remembered that Li Wentao had mentioned to him that this military license plate car was specially configured by the Li family.

"Could it be Li Wentao?" Chen Hao guessed.

When Chen Hao was wondering, three soldiers in military uniforms jumped out of the Audi and ran towards him.

The three men were all about 27 or 28 years old, about 1.8 meters tall. As they ran, they shouted, "Hello, are you Mr. Yang Haoyang?"

"It's me." Chen Hao nodded.

The three of them saluted in unison and said, "Hello, Chief!"

"Uh!" Chen Hao was stunned and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

The leading young officer smiled and said, "The chief asked us to protect you back home. He said that you are in trouble in our country and we must ensure your safety."

Chen Hao frowned and said, "Who is your chief? What's his name?"

The officer replied, "Our chief's surname is Zhang, Zhang Zhong, you can call him Lao Zhang."

"Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Zhong." Chen Hao suddenly realized and waved his hand and said, "I'm out now and I won't be in danger anymore."

"The chief said that if you don't agree, the three of us brothers may not be able to get out." The young officer said.

"Uh!" Chen Hao was a little confused. What the hell, I just came out for a walk, how did I get into trouble? This is too unlucky.

Chen Hao was silent for a moment, and decided to compromise temporarily. He said, "Okay, let's get in the car."

"Hehe, thank you for your understanding, Chief." The three of them smiled excitedly, and then took two cars and took Chen Hao to Zhang Zhong's residence.

Zhang Zhong's residence was not far from Chen Hao's residence. In less than fifteen minutes, three cars took Chen Hao to the villa area where Zhang Zhong lived.

This villa covers a large area, with a full four or five acres. There are also several military off-road vehicles parked in the villa courtyard.

In an attic at the deepest part of the courtyard, an old man in a Tang suit was sitting by the window looking at Chen Hao. When he saw Chen Hao coming out of a military vehicle, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Next to the old man, there were two young people, a man and a woman. The man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the woman was more than twenty years old, with a pretty face.

These two people were none other than Zhang Zhong's grandchildren.

Chen Hao and Zhang Zhong were not very familiar with each other. He just saved Zhang Zhong's life during a mission, and the two had only met once.

Since they did not say hello, Chen Hao did not talk to Zhang Zhong, but went directly to the door of Zhang Zhong's villa and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened, and the person who opened the door was Zhang Zhong.

"Xiao Chen, I'm so sorry to bother you so late." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.

"Grandpa Zhang, you are too serious. This is what the younger generation should do." Chen Hao smiled lightly.

"Haha." Zhang Zhong looked up to the sky and burst into laughter: "Come on, Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. This is my grandson Zhang Chao. You can just call him Brother Chao. This is Xiaoyu. You can call her Sister Xiaoyu. She is twenty-nine years old.”

Following Zhang Zhong's words, Zhang Chao and Xiaoyu nodded to Chen Hao. Chen Hao also smiled and said, "Hello, brother Chao, hello, sister Xiaoyu."

Zhang Chao and Xiaoyu also clasped their fists and raised their hands to Chen Hao as a greeting.

Then Zhang Zhong said to Chen Hao: "Xiao Chen, take a rest first and have a meal or something. I'll get you some good dishes."

"Haha, no need, Grandpa Zhang, I'll go home right now." Chen Hao shook his head and refused.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhong advised: "Let's have a meal before leaving."

Chen Hao still insisted and said: "Let's try another day. It's not too late to eat tomorrow."

"Okay then, I'll take you out." Zhang Zhong nodded and did not force it.

Afterwards, Chen Hao greeted Zhang Chao and Xiaoyu and left.

…

After Chen Hao left, Zhang Zhong sighed and murmured to himself: "Oh, this kid is quite smart, but he is too stubborn, hey!"

He felt that Chen Hao was too stubborn. If an ordinary kid could become a martial arts master, who wouldn't be extremely happy and wish he could join the army right away.

But this young man chose to stay in school and was unwilling to join the army. This made Zhang Zhong feel very sorry, but it was a pity, but he could not force Chen Hao.

"Chao'er, Xiaoyu, are you two tired too? Take a rest first, and I'll ask auntie to make you some fish soup later." Zhang Zhong said to his grandchildren.

"Yeah!" Zhang Chao and Xiaoyu both nodded, then sat on the sofa and played computer games.

Zhang Zhong looked at Zhang Chao's parents again and said, "Old Zhao and Old Wu, I think it's time for Chao'er's game company to transform. Let's invest some money to help him build a game empire of his own. Let him become the world's top game maker."

"Dad, you don't have to worry. My wife and I have already discussed Chao'er's matter. After Chao'er's game is launched, I will invest all my money in it to make him the world's top rich man." Zhang Chao's father said.

Zhang Zhong smiled and said: "Okay, okay!"

…

On the other side, after Chen Hao got into the car, he was not in a hurry to start the car.

He sat in the passenger seat, took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Tong's number.
