Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"Commander Zhang, your plan is truly ingenious."

Lu Lingxi's words were somewhat playful, yet powerful, as if each word struck a chord precisely in everyone's heart.

His appearance gave Zhan Jiuyou an unprecedented sense of security. As long as Leng Aotian was there, it seemed that any problem could be solved.

Lu Lingxi walked slowly to the front of the group. Seeing the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, their faces as pale as paper and their disheveled appearance, she felt a pang of sadness.

"So you're Leng Aotian, the young genius who just joined the Blazing Flame Sect? I don't like what you just said."

Zhang Xiansheng's face was ashen. How dare a boy of only eleven or twelve years old be so rude in front of him? He was naturally displeased. Even if Leng Aotian was exceptionally talented, in his eyes he was nothing more than a brat who hadn't even grown up yet.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, her gaze shifting as she turned to Zhang Xiansheng, her tone playful.

"May I ask, Commander Zhang, what exactly do you like to hear?"

Xiahou Jue had long been impatient with this sarcastic conversation. He was straightforward and disliked beating around the bush. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and shouted in a gruff voice.

"Zhan Jiuyou, just tell me straight, are you planning to hand over this mine, or are you determined to fight for it?"

"Even if the Blazing Flame didn't have any top-grade mineral veins, we would never give up on them easily."

Just as Zhan Jiuyou was about to speak, Lu Lingxi Yao preemptively took over the conversation, her eyes flashing with a sharp light as she stared directly at Xiahou Jue.

"You little brat..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiahou Jue's powerful aura as a Martial Venerable suddenly pressed down on her, intending to give Leng Aotian a warning.

However, this pressure fell on Lu Lingxi Yao without any effect, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Little did they know that Lu Lingxi Yao, who was also a martial arts practitioner, cultivated the ultimate technique of the Flying Snow Palace from her previous life. Even the pressure from the peak expert of this world—the Martial God—might not be able to shake her in the slightest.

The others all focused their gazes on Lu Lingxi Yao, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. This kid was actually able to withstand the pressure of a Martial Venerable. Wasn't he a Level 2 Spirit Sect Master? Could he be hiding his strength?

Seeing this, Zhang Xiansheng's previous contempt and arrogance subsided somewhat, and his tone softened considerably.

"Young friend Aotian, Commander Xia acted impulsively just now. I apologize on his behalf."

After speaking, he bowed slightly to show his sincerity.

Lu Lingxi smiled faintly. Since the other party had lowered himself, she would go with the flow and give him a way out.

"Commander Zhang, you flatter me. There is still room for discussion on this matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiansheng immediately turned to Zhan Jiuyou, his eyes questioning, "Brother Zhan, can young friend Aotian make a decision on behalf of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group?"

Seeing Zhan Jiuyou nod, he continued, "In that case, I will be frank. For this evaluation of Lieyan, I can send a Spirit Emperor level expert to support you. What do you think, young friend Aotian?"

Lu Lingxi's smile deepened, a sly glint in her eyes. "Commander Zhang's suggestion is quite sincere, however, I would like to make some adjustments."

Zhang Xiansheng was overjoyed, thinking victory was assured, but Lu Lingxiyao's next words made his smile freeze instantly.

"The support personnel you send must reach the level of Spirit Venerable or Martial Venerable; otherwise, this matter is off the table."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people present instantly turned ashen. It should be noted that in the entire Mercenary Guild, the number of Spirit Venerables and Martial Venerables is extremely limited. Even in the Seven Star Mercenary Group, having such experts is a rare occurrence.

The Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Group still has two Spirit Venerables in charge, while the Hell Mercenary Group has one Martial Venerable and one Spirit Venerable. Other mercenary groups can hardly match them. Leng Aotian's request has undoubtedly pushed them into a dilemma.

Zhang Xiansheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his lips twitching, as if he could hardly believe his ears. "Young friend Aotian, are you joking? Do you want us to do all the work for the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group?"

Lu Lingxi's smile remained unchanged, but with a hint of amusement. "Commander Zhang, how could that be? We just hope that things can be resolved satisfactorily. However, without the support of a Spirit Venerable or Martial Venerable, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult to continue."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately put on a troubled expression, as if she were really looking for a way to cooperate between the two parties.

After hearing this, no one could utter a single word for a moment. Seeing this, Lu Lingxi paused slightly and then spoke.

"Heh, esteemed captains, please don't misunderstand. How could we dare trouble the four captains to assist Blazing Flame? But then again, without a Spirit Venerable or Martial Venerable level expert as a backer, this matter would probably be difficult to reach an agreement, wouldn't you say?"

Her words carried a hint of mockery, but her face wore an embarrassed expression, as if she were genuinely troubled by this difficult situation.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Lu Lingxiyao's gaze swept lightly across their faces before she continued, "In that case, how about I give Commander Zhang a small suggestion?"

Zhang Xiansheng was secretly amazed by Leng Aotian's wit and keenness. He had not expected that the other party's thinking could keep up with his pace so quickly, and even lead him step by step into the trap he had set.

Although he knew it was a trap set by the other party, he felt as if he were bound by invisible ropes, unable to find a suitable rebuttal, and he responded helplessly.

"tell me the story"

"In the end, all four captains are after this mine. If any captain is willing to exchange a mid-level mine for it, then this treasure land will belong to him."

The four looked at each other, hesitant and undecided. Seeing this, Lu Lingxiyao smiled faintly. Her voice, though soft, was like a cold blade, putting pressure on everyone present.

"Since no one is willing, then please leave. Our Blazing Flame Mercenary Group will have to find another way."

Seeing Leng Aotian's attitude, Zhang Xiansheng felt a sense of anxiety. He thought to himself: Rather than handing it over to someone else, it would be better to make some compromises. Finally, he spoke, his voice filled with urgency.

"and many more!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's lips curled into a wicked smile, as if everything was under her control.

"Commander Zhang, have you thought this through?"

Zhang Xiansheng nodded. Although losing a mid-grade mine made him feel the pinch, the thought of the allure of the top-grade ore made him feel much better.

"Therefore, I hereby declare that this mine belongs to Commander Zhang."

As Lu Lingxi Yao's voice fell, the other three team leaders were stunned at first, then reacted, their faces showing shock and resentment.

Xiahou Jue was the first to shout, "Wait! I'm willing to trade too!"

Immediately afterward, the other two team leaders echoed this sentiment, expressing their willingness to exchange a medium-grade ore vein for the mining rights to this top-grade ore vein.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Lu Lingxi Yao pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "Commander Zhan, our Blazing Flame's strength is limited, and I'm afraid we can't protect this mine. Why don't we just give it up?"

Zhan Jiuyou had already understood Lu Lingxi's intention, and he replied knowingly, "Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. What can we do when our strength is insufficient?"

Although his face showed some reluctance, his eyes gleamed with a cunning light.

Seeing Zhan Jiuyou's appearance, Zhang Xiansheng became even more convinced of the correctness of this deal. Fearing that things might change if he delayed, he hurriedly urged him on.

"Brother Zhan, let's go to the Mercenary Guild to complete the transfer procedures."

Zhan Jiuyou nodded in agreement and pretended to be dejected as he left the scene with Zhang Xiansheng. The other team leaders followed suit.
