I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 128. Compete against each other
Chapter 128: 128. Compete against each other
By noon that day, news of the Yahang planning to hold a "Heroic Gathering" on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month spread throughout the Jingjin region.
All the major powers involved in opium cultivation in Jizhou had received the "Heroic Invitation" from the Yahang.
Of course, this invitation was merely a formality, as everybody understood the true intention behind it.
Opium growers, naturally, would resist the new threat of methamphetamine, which infringed upon their interests.
It was a conflict between the shifting tides of old and new industries.
Xiao Cha immediately brought this intelligence back home to discuss with Lu Li.
"The Ice Soul Powder distributors, led by the Yahang, want to negotiate with those opium planters!"
Opportunity had arrived, and with her pretty face beaming, Xiao Cha barely contained her excitement as she said,
"They say it’s a negotiation, but these people will definitely end up fighting! All the Patrol Bureaus have been informed to stay away from the Southern Canal on the ninth day of the twelfth month~"
Lu Li nodded, "The methamphetamine dealers, a big fight with the opium growers, huh..."
"Exactly~ it’s dog eat dog!" Xiao Cha bit her lip, her breathing quickened as she said,
"Those harmful curs deserve to be completely wiped out!"
Lu Li chuckled, "It seems like you already have a plan?"
"Take a look at this." Xiao Cha pulled out a map and pointed,
"The location is sixty li outside the city, to the west of the Southern Canal at Baiyang Beach. The terrain is flat, not good for ambushes, but those bastards won’t have anywhere to hide!"
Having said that, the girl slapped the table,
"You and me, plus two puppets, that’s 4 heavy machine guns! When those bastards are at each other’s throats, we’ll suddenly emerge and take them all down! This is exactly ’when the snipe and the clam grapple, it’s the fisherman who profits!’"
Lu Li applauded, "Not a bad plan, I fully agree, let’s do it."
"Mhm!" Xiao Cha nodded firmly, then spoke in a soft voice, "It’s actually quite dangerous, thank you for indulging me with this..."
Lu Li wrapped his arm around the girl’s slender waist,
"I cannot stand those trash who traffick people and deal drugs either, not to mention we already have a score to settle. So let it be dangerous; without danger, it wouldn’t be as fun~"
While speaking, Lu Li’s hand creeped downward.
Xiao Cha was wearing the form-fitting Patrol uniform, which felt much better to the touch than last time, with remarkable elasticity.
Her face flushed, but she did not resist. Instead, she whispered,
"Lu Li, I’m willing to be with you, but I’m scared if it’s too fast... hey, holy shit! Get your hand out!"
As soon as Lu Li’s hand slid inside the clothes and touched something slick, the shy girl turned into a fierce tiger, letting out a growl as she yanked the intruding hand out and bit down hard!
"Ouch! Let go! I can’t hold a gun like this!"
After a good deal of roughhousing, Wanqing in the kitchen could hear everything distinctly.
She placed a plate of braised fish, feeling a burst of envy.
"To kill Ye Zhichao... I really wish I could go too..."
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the following days, Xiao Cha went out daily for reconnaissance, familiarizing herself with the surrounding terrain.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chief Chen even proactively gave her a "Heroic Invitation."
With that in hand, on the day of the "Heroic Gathering," they could directly enter the venue.
Xiao Cha showed the invitation to Lu Li, scratching her head, "I’ve been going out so often to gather intelligence, it seems Uncle Chen has guessed something."
Lu Li was unconcerned, "That’s fine; after all, we’re not outsiders."
"Yes," Xiao Cha put away the invitation, "Now everything is ready, all we need is an east wind. Even the weapons have been well maintained by your puppets."
heavy machine guns, a heavy rocket launcher, and ammunition were all packed into two large hemp sacks.
Lu Li glanced at them, "Carrying these for 60 li would be too conspicuous; let’s go buy a vehicle."
Xiao Cha nodded, "Sure, there was enough silver from the Wang Family’s Ancestral Tomb last time—8000 silver coins should cover it."
They did as they said, the two of them took a silver ingot to the bustling Gaul Concession and spent 4000 silver coins to buy a Cadillac.
This black classic car looked very imposing and belonged to the luxury category.
Lu Li had a stroke of inspiration and said, "Since Chief Chen doesn’t want Spiritual Tea, let’s buy him a car instead, and throw in a box of Calming Incense."
Xiao Cha immediately agreed, "Right! Let’s do that! It will be perfect for the holiday gift~"
So, they bought one and ordered another, and then they left.
~~~~~~~~~
They had a peaceful night and then came the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
They loaded weapons and ammunition into the trunk; Number 0 drove while Ah Da sat in the passenger seat.
"Wanqing, we’re leaving."
After saying farewell, the two were about to sit in the back of the car to depart.
At this moment, Lu Li saw melancholy in Wanqing’s expression and walked over, saying,
"What’s the matter? Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon."
Wanqing bitterly smiled and said, "It’s nothing really. I actually would like to go, but these eyes of mine are a hindrance... don’t mind me, you guys better hurry."
"Oh, is that so..." Lu Li turned back and said, "Number 0, come here."
The smartly-dressed "Number 0" got out of the car calmly and walked over.
Lu Li said, "Wanqing, put your spirit into it. Let it use your spirit to kill, to fight in your place, okay?"
"I, I can, thank you, Young Master!"
Wanqing had not expected this option, and she was quite excited.
She felt a pair of warm, large hands gently holding her small ones, placing them on the cold metal body. She hurriedly poured her spirit into it.
The spirit within the Meditation Realm wasn’t much, but in Number 0’s blue pupils, a strange red glint flashed.
A flicker so brief one might believe it was an illusion caused by the morning light.
Lu Li said warmly, "Number 0 will surely make good use of your spirit to wipe out those bad guys."
"Okay, I wish you all the success, Young Master!"
"Then we are off."
The car drove away, leaving Wanqing spiritually exhausted but emotionally invigorated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baiyang Beach is a river beach between the Southern Canal and Ziya River.
The area was extremely flat and bright, allowing one to see clearly to the end, no need to worry about ambushes.
The attendees numbered around 300, each armed, and were clearly divided into two groups facing each other with cold stares.
One group, smaller in number, stood more closely together, led by a round-faced, burly man—Ye Zhichao.
Xiao Cha whispered, "He’s the Yahang Leader, undergone Martial Arts Blood Exchange, fortunately devoid of Refining God Cultivation."
Lu Li nodded, taking note of his appearance.
They blended into the crowd with an invitation, standing at a distance in a corner, taking the opportunity to observe the enemy.
The scene resembled a negotiation among the underworld, with several figures standing opposite Ye Zhichao.
The most conspicuous was a bald monk with scars of the monastic order on his head.
Lu Li murmured softly, "Ye Zhichao deals in Ice Soul Powder, his adversaries sell opium, but why is there a monk here?"
Xiao Cha explained, "He’s from the Xuanzang Temple. The temple’s thousands of acres of fertile land are all planted with opium; they’re bound to have a showdown with Ye Zhichao."
Indeed, the first roar came from the big monk:
"Ye Zhichao! You ball-less coward! Speak up, however you want to handle this, Buddha here is ready to accompany you!"
The roar was like thunder! Lu Li and Xiao Cha, standing a mile away, heard everything crystal clear.
"Another Blood Exchange... we have to provoke them to start fighting each other first, then we can reap the benefits from their conflict!"
