Merchant From Earth in the Magical World-Chapter 545 - 382: Visiting Neighbors_1

The concept of a god had a profound impact on atheists like President Yang and Feng Tingyue. Especially since the person sitting opposite them, Yan Xing, might be… a god.

Yan Xing smiled and said, "God is just a pure noun, unrelated to faith. It is a form of life that masters a more advanced method of using energy. It could be any name, but I call it 'god' simply to help you intuitively understand the level of power He Qijiu will soon possess."

President Yang took a pill case out of his pocket, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them. After taking several deep breaths, he said, "This information… is truly explosive. Its authenticity is still just your word for it. Whatever help you need from us, please show us more convincing evidence."

President Yang dared not make any promises to Yan Xing regarding such a matter. Nor was it a promise he could make.

Yan Xing paused to consider.

"I have already mentioned that I am here just to state a fact," he said. "About the insurance… I was just joking with you. In four months, He Qijiu will gain full power, and I will intervene to stop him from destroying the world. In terms of power, I am slightly weaker—just a little. Our battle will also cause catastrophic damage to the world, especially since it's likely to occur within our country.

"To defeat He Qijiu as quickly as possible, I need energy… a lot of energy. If you are willing to supply me with energy, I can give you a batch of equipment. Place this equipment in power plants, and when I need electricity, I will be able to get it quickly."

President Yang asked, "How many power plants do you need?"

"The more, the better. All of them, if possible!"

"That's impossible," President Yang retorted. "We can't take that kind of risk. Besides, I can't even determine if what you're saying is true. If, if you…"

President Yang did not continue, but Yan Xing understood his meaning.

"If what?" Yan Xing asked. "Do you believe that the fame, wealth, and fortune that mortals crave have any allure for me? Even if I have an agenda that I cannot disclose to you… which is more beneficial for you: having a god on your side, or a nationwide power outage? Our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and my methods, I believe, have always been within your acceptable range. Are you willing to take a risk on me? Or on He Qijiu, betting that his power falls within a range you can handle?"

The power He Qijiu displayed the last time he disappeared had already surpassed what Renlun Investment Bank and the related departments could handle. It was only because he hadn't reappeared for a long time that the information had been suppressed. However, judging by the growth in strength He Qijiu had shown on the few occasions he appeared, so much time had passed that if he were to reappear, he would surely be an uncontrollable entity.

Only Yan Xing could be called upon to resolve the situation.

But to entrust the nation's power supply to Yan Xing…

That wasn't a decision one could make on a whim.

"I need to report this…" President Yang said. "Can you let me know what powers you currently possess?"

"Yes!" Yan Xing agreed promptly. To obtain what he wanted, a necessary demonstration of strength was required.

After speaking, Yan Xing tapped on the table. A portal opened beside him, and a Heart Demon dressed in medical attire and wearing a mask stepped out. After placing two badges on the table, the Heart Demon saluted Yan Xing and retreated back through the portal.

Feng Tingyue's expression turned exceptionally grim. The guards here were all personally arranged by her, yet this man came and went as he pleased, treating layers of security as if they were nothing.

"Mr. Yan Xing," she said, "if this is your demonstration of power, while powerful, it's not very friendly."

Yan Xing considered his actions and admitted, "Yes, I was thoughtless. But I meant no harm. I didn't open the portal to demonstrate my strength; it was merely for convenience."

Just for convenience? Feng Tingyue's face looked even worse.

At this moment, the two badges on the table projected an image of Chui Chui, who appeared to be her secondary computing core.

"Master, please authorize the use of Magic Weapons P35 and P36."

Yan Xing said, "Grant them temporary usage authorization."

"Yes, Master.

"Magic Weapons P35 and P36 temporary authorization granted. Order issued by Master.

"Temporary users of Magic Weapons P35 and P36, please stand to facilitate a scan of your body data."

President Yang and Feng Tingyue immediately stood up.

"Scan complete.

"Magic Weapons P35 and P36 storage space open. Component structures now adjusting.

"Adjustment complete! Magic Weapons P35 and P36, deploy!"

The two badges on the table floated into the air, then, in a flash of bright light, split into dozens of components of various shapes and sizes. These components flew around President Yang and Feng Tingyue, quickly completing their assembly and integration. In an instant, they covered both individuals entirely.

Feng Tingyue's figure, maintained through regular exercise, still looked somewhat shapely after being equipped. But President Yang, with his large belly, made what should have been impressive armor look rather comical.

As President Yang and Feng Tingyue were experiencing the sensation of this armor, which felt very much like something from "Armor Warriors," Yan Xing's voice resonated in their ears through an internal communicator.

"You two, since your own strength is insufficient to power this type of armor, I've restricted its functionality. You can try using the flight capability. Just think about it and…"
