An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 90 Lin Wanyue

The moment the evil spirit appeared, even in its spirit form, the two mortal secretaries nearby couldn't help but shudder, their eyes filled with uncontrollable fear.

They didn't know what was happening; their bodies just began to tremble uncontrollably.

Manager Xue's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "What a powerful summon! Since that's the case, there's no need for testing. I'll send someone to prepare it right away. Young friend, please come with me. After you've met the young lady, I'll give you the money."

Chu Xiu naturally had no objection; having taken someone else's money, he was bound to do something for them.

Taking the private elevator, they arrived at the 50th floor. After passing through a long corridor, Steward Xue pushed open the door to an extremely luxuriously decorated room.

From the bed to the sofa, everything is a top-of-the-line product from a high-end luxury brand. The walls are adorned with lifelike oil paintings and a large number of modern paintings that, while seemingly random, are obviously very expensive, all of which seem to showcase the homeowner's taste.

"Earth eruption".

Chu Xiu silently made a decision in his mind.

Although he didn't agree with the room's decor, he was still amazed when he saw the girl sitting in front of the dressing table.

Her long, silky black hair cascaded over her shoulders, beneath which lay a gentle and graceful oval face with a high nose bridge and snow-white skin. She wore a black pomegranate dress, and a sapphire pendant adorned her slender neck. Paired with her cat-like amber eyes, she exuded nobility and elegance, like a little princess beloved by the king.

Needless to say, this should be Lin Wanyue, who is as famous as Ye Junlin.

She appeared to be preparing to attend some high-society banquet, with two maids carefully dressing and grooming her.

Just as Steward Xue was about to introduce Chu Xiu, one of the maids accidentally bumped into a box of face powder as she turned around. With a crisp "crack," the face powder fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Some dust drifted onto Lin Wanyue's delicate toes, causing her to frown slightly.

The maid knelt down in a panic: "Miss! I'm so sorry! I'll clean it right away."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Wanyue suddenly slapped the maid across the face! As an Awakened One, her slap was extremely powerful, and the maid was knocked to the ground, her cheek visibly swollen and red.

The maid's eyes were filled with tears. She covered her face and retreated without a word. Two other maids came from behind and knelt on the ground. One of them cleaned up the powder on the ground, while the other took off Lin Wanyue's black high heels, carefully held her fair little feet in her palms, and gently wiped them with a wet wipe.

"Ahem." Butler Xue coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly. "Miss, Chen Ce has arrived."

"Come in," Lin Wanyue said calmly, her eyes constantly scanning her makeup in the mirror as she spoke.

It wasn't until Chu Xiu entered the room that he turned his head and glanced at him.

“I don’t like people who hide their true selves,” Lin Wanyue said, glancing at Chu Xiu, who was completely covered up from head to toe, her eyes showing displeasure. “Our family gave you 30 million, and we hope you are worthy of this money.”

Chu Xiu: "."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Wanyue gently kicked the maid who was wiping her feet with her toe: "These maids can earn 40,000 a month, so no matter how much I hit them or scold them, they won't run away."

"As long as you serve me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you unfairly. But if you have any other ideas, I will let you know that the Lin family's money is not so easy to take!"

Lin Wanyue's tone gradually became stern.

After a brief silence, Chu Xiu said, "Yes."

Lin Wanyue stared at him intently, seemingly trying to discern his true intentions, but Chu Xiu, wearing a mask and a black robe, stood motionless at the door, revealing nothing. This caused her to let out a slightly annoyed snort and turn back: "Did Manager Xue tell you about your mission?"

"I told you, I need to get to your base within three days, after that..."

"one day."

Lin Wanyue interrupted him: "We don't have that much time to waste. If we want to get ahead of Ye Junlin, we have to seize every moment."

“I glanced at the distance between us, less than fifty kilometers. Since you have already passed the warrior-level trial, this should be a piece of cake for you.”

"You came immediately after entering the abyss, did you hear me?"

Chu Xiu: "Yes."

He naturally didn't intend to do what the girl in front of him said, but he also didn't want to waste any more words on her.

Seeing that he readily agreed, Lin Wanyue nodded, her expression becoming more friendly: "Go ahead, find a servant to get the other members' information. We'll meet in the Abyss."

Chu Xiu responded and turned to leave.

After he left, Manager Xue couldn't help but smile wryly: "Miss, why did you have to do this? Even though he's just a temporary mercenary, you should at least treat him with courtesy, considering his strength." Lin Wanyue scoffed and shook her head: "Uncle Xue, you don't understand. I'll treat those who genuinely serve me with sincerity, but do you think I don't know what this sneaky guy is up to?"

"They just want to use our family's resources to develop, and then go it alone to steal contribution points when hunting the zombie king."

"We need to teach this kind of person a lesson, otherwise he'll think our Lin family are fools who can be manipulated by him."

"Anyway, with the soul contract in place, he can't cause any trouble."

Manager Xue remained silent, only shaking his head helplessly.

He couldn't agree with his mistress's way of doing things, but every master has their own personality, and he, as a servant, had no right to comment.

"Alright, I'm going to the party now," Lin Wanyue said, standing up after finishing her makeup. Her exquisite makeup made her already beautiful face even more radiant. "Have the driver go downstairs and get ready. This is a banquet hosted by Miss Chen. Have him drive the most expensive car in the garage."

Manager Xue opened his mouth, wanting to remind Lin Wanyue that she was about to enter the abyss and should run a few more dungeons to hone her combat skills and willpower.

After all, real battles are not just about comparing numbers.

There are countless examples of people who are very talented but lack willpower, and who are terrified when faced with life-or-death situations, only to be defeated by weaker opponents.

The family highly valued Lin Wanyue's talent and specially invited a senior member of the gold-farming team with extremely rich combat experience to help her develop a training plan to improve her combat ability as much as possible.

Lin Wanyue did not resist, but Steward Xue felt that she was becoming somewhat lax. Often, she would only enter the dungeon four or five times before hastily ending her training for the day. After making a group of close friends, she went out more and more frequently, euphemistically calling it "developing connections".

Steward Xue felt that she had changed since she showed her talent and gained the family's attention. She had become arrogant and had lost her fighting spirit.

He wanted to offer some advice, but he knew Lin Wanyue wouldn't listen and might even think he was being nosy. He, the old servant, was becoming increasingly disregarded.

With a soft sigh, Steward Xue said nothing, only respectfully replying, "Yes, Miss, I'll go prepare right away."

On the other hand, Chu Xiu unsurprisingly received an investment of 2500 million and left the Lin Group.

Chu Xiu had no objection to Lin Wanyue's reprimand; to be honest, he really didn't have any good intentions.

It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.

He absolutely had to get his hands on the core anchor point, however...
Chu Xiu flipped through the materials Lin Wanyue had prepared for him.

A PowerPoint file, hundreds of megabytes in size, was copied directly to his phone. It contained a list of all the members of their faction, as well as noteworthy individuals from other factions.

The main competitors for the core anchor point are Ye Junlin's Morning Star Guild, Lin Wanyue's Lin Group, and the strategy team formed by the government.

All three of them have at least three warrior-level combatants, and these warrior-level characters are all high-grade professions, making them very difficult to deal with.

Lin Wanyue and Ye Junlin are particularly outstanding in strength. Their talents and professions are kept secret, but they are definitely above S-rank, and may even be SS or higher. Most importantly, both of them are extremely wealthy. Their families have definitely prepared perfect quality equipment of the Warrior rank in advance, and may even have spent a lot of money to get a legendary piece of equipment!
"With my current strength, even if they have [legendary] equipment, I am not afraid of fighting them one-on-one."

Unless the two individuals possess SSS-level talent or profession, or are exceptionally strong early-game SS-level individuals, and are equipped with suitable [Legendary] equipment, they have a very small chance of defeating Chu Xiu.

But Chu Xiu thought it was unlikely. A genius of this caliber would receive top-tier attention and resources and wouldn't stay in a small city like Jiangcheng.

"But dealing with an entire force at the same time is quite stressful." "Not to mention, these two must have trump cards prepared by their families in advance to deal with the Corpse King, which is also very troublesome."

"I'm still too weak. I don't even have the strength to crush the three major forces at the same time. How can I seize the core anchor point?"

Chu Xiu felt very insecure.

He felt very insecure until he had the strength to kill the Corpse King while facing the siege of the three major forces!
"More practice is needed!"

With this in mind, Chu Xiu rushed back to his room without hesitation to make final preparations for the world mission.

He first listed all the equipment he obtained in the advancement trial online.

Then, he began to focus all his efforts on improving his skills.

The first thing, naturally—

Chu Xiu looked at his Heavenly Demon Hand.

"Add some causal points to my account!"
