Chapter 103 - 35.1 - Cheat called Xue (1/2)

The lunch was quickly finished and Xue Jun called for the waiters to take the dishes away. Once the table was cleared, Xue Jun finally speaks up. ”Let us continue our discussion from before. But I would like for Miss Li to tell me all that she knows about the apocalypse. Xiao Rui said that you had experienced the future, so I will have to ask Miss Li to tell me everything from when the apocalypse started.”

Li Jinghua looked towards Xue Jun, then to her brother who only gives her a nod to tell her to go on. Only then did Li Jinghua began her tale again. Xue Jun didn't say anything and simply listened carefully, never cutting Li Jinghua off with any questions. Once Li Jinghua was finished, Xue Jun closed his eyes and tapped the table with his finger.

”I understand. Then, since you have this knowledge, what other plan do you have? I know you plan on stocking the supplies, especially foods. You also mentioned weapons but where do you plan on storing it?” Xue Jun asked. ”Not only that, you may have experience with handling the weapons... what about your brothers? You don't expect them to only rely on their spiritual energy, right? Like stamina, they are not limitless.”

”I know, I do plan on teaching them how to use guns,” Li Jinghua replied. ”I also have other plans... creating a safe zone base, recruiting allies along the way, there are many things to do and explaining them in words is hard,” Li Jinghua added.

”En. I understand. These things need detailed planning. As for weapon training, you can leave that to me,” Xue Jun informed Li Jinghua. ”Since you already have the capital, just quit your job. That way you can focus on training and brush up your survival skills.”

”I can't resign yet. There are few places that I wish to 'buy' but they are not up for sale yet,” Li Jinghua replied.

”You can just get the owner to sell it. I don't think they will cost much,” Xue Rui chimed in.

”Well... some of these places are not built yet, Rui. I can't buy something that doesn't exist,” Li Jinghua sighed.

”What do you need them for? When the apocalypse happens, things such as houses won't do you any good,” Xue Rui couldn't help but wonder what brings Li Jinghua to want to buy properties.

”Not houses, Rui. Factory and warehouses,” Li Jinghua smiled. ”To be more exact... in the first quarter of next year, a new solar panel technology will be introduced. Then not long after, their production will start. In the apocalypse, these panels were scarce but it is one of the best sources of electricity.”

Xue Rui's eyes narrowed as he started to ponder for a while. He took out his phone and sends a few messages to his secretary before looking at Li Jinghua. ”Do you know the one who is behind the technology? Who the creator is?” Xue Rui asked.

Li Jinghua raised an eyebrow but still gave Xue Rui an answer. Xue Rui once again sends a message to his secretary before he put his phone down. ”If things go well, we might be able to get the patent for that solar panel technology. Then the matter of research and production is just a matter of time and investment. Hopefully, we can get it to start before the end of the year,” Xue Rui said with a smile. ”Jinghua, since you already know, then don't wait for them to start. Instead, seize it and start it yourself! You'll save a lot of time that way. Five years may sound long, but if you're being passive, you will realize that you haven't collected enough... and then you won't be able to take advantage of your excess resource and make profi-”

Before Xue Rui could continue to ramble on, Xue Jun lightly elbowed him. ”Making profits in the apocalypse is useless. Money has zero value,” Xue Jun reminded Xue Rui.

”... I forgot. But it is better to get everything ready earlier, right?”

Li Xinwen had been quiet for a while. The reason for him being quiet wasn't because he isn't interested in joining the discussion, in fact, it was because he's busy trying to suppress the demonic qi in him that had started to act up. He had already taken a mouthful of lake water earlier so he only needed to deal with the pain for a bit.

Unfortunately, Xue Jun seemed to notice this and the other couldn't help but voice out an inquiry. ”Are you alright?”

As soon as Xue Jun's question left his lips, Li Xinwen noticed that all attention is now on him. He cursed Xue Jun in his mind before giving out a smile. ”I'm alright. It's just thinking about these things makes my brain hurt. I'll just leave everything to you guys and be a soy sauce here,” Li Xinwen replied.

Xue Jun narrowed his eyes as he continued to stare at Li Xinwen. As a fellow cultivator, he noticed how Li Xinwen seemed to struggle to keep his own spiritual energy in check. 'Not only that... the boy looked pale...'

”I think... we should end this here for now. I believe it's better to keep in contact with each other. Miss Li, this is my private phone number. For easier communication, I think it would be good if Miss Li make a group with all of us inside. That way, if there are some difficulties that came up, everyone can be informed at the same time,” Xue Jun suggested. ”It will also be easy for me to reach out to the parties involved in the training.”

Li Jinghua took the paper that Xue Jun gave her and quickly added the number to her contact list. ”About the plan... I will also send it to you. And umm... Major General, is it also possible for you to get your men to prepare for the apocalypse?”
