I'm a villain in the superhero world.
Chapter 40: An Interlude – Layoffs
Jiang Liyue left the study with an expression that said, "I really don't understand what you're thinking."
Lü Buyi was already used to this.
To outsiders, the fate of the moon and the sun seems to have almost no room for maneuver.
Therefore, it's normal that they don't understand Lü Buyi's behavior.
But only Lü Buyi, who had read the complete original work of "The Son of Yin and Yang," knew another way to ensure that Yin Qing, Ji Mingyang, and he could all survive safely.
"Therefore, without the Yin-Yang Divine Child, it's not enough for me to become stronger alone to deal with the Dragon Emperor..."
Lu Buyi pondered his general plan for Ji Mingyang's future growth, muttering to himself.
Even though he has the [popularity feedback template], the throne is still too far away for him.
And the Dragon Emperor will inevitably break free of his seal and resurrect within five years—
Given that Lü Buyi was not confident in advancing to the God Throne in such a short time, sealing the Dragon Emperor with Taiyin and Taiyang was the best solution at present.
"It's a headache... especially since I have to find time to keep track of the villains and protagonists in other series under these circumstances—"
"Won't I actually work myself to death at my post one day?"
Lü Buyi had deep doubts about this, but there was nothing he could do; with great power comes great responsibility.
Especially since all of this is related to his future, it's impossible not to pay attention.
"Speaking of which, if I think about it, that guy I've been keeping an eye on should be reaching the origin of his own story by now, right?"
"It should have happened within the last few days—"
The person Lü Buyi mentioned is not a character from the "Child of Yin and Yang" series.
Instead, he is a major villain in the future "Operation Dominion" series.
—Wu Fenghua is currently one of the project leaders of the "Candle Dragon" laboratory in the Far East region of the organization.
She was born into an ordinary family, but because she accidentally came into contact with a drop of strange crimson blood when she was a child, she gained the extraordinary power to manipulate blood.
She had shown a unique talent for developing extraordinary items at a very young age, which led to her being recruited by the Domination Council ten years ago.
Primarily responsible for innovating and researching derivative products of "Candle Dragon's Blood".
In the original story, it should be around this time that, because her ideas and designs have not yielded any results for a long time, she is about to be laid off from the "Candle Dragon" laboratory and demoted to a lower level.
He felt that those in power might be blind to talent and regretted his own lack of ability.
So, ten years later, when Wu Fenghua finally completed her research on her design "Endless Blood River", she chose to leave the ruling council.
And in the later second volume of "The Dominion Agents", they will become enemies of the main characters and will eventually be defeated.
The main reason why Lü Buyi would pay attention to her was that he was determined to obtain the "Endless Blood River".
"The amount of popularity points required to fully control the Taiyin Beast simply by adding points would probably be astronomical."
"And if I had the Endless River of Blood... then I'm confident that when my control over the Yin Beast reaches level 4 or 5, I can completely subdue it in one fell swoop!"
The simplest way to completely control the Taiyin Beast is to subdue it by defeating it head-on.
However, the Taiyin Beast itself can utilize the "Taiyin Turbid Qi" in a reversed form, making it arguably the most severe torturer of the Taiyin Divine Children throughout history.
If he had the "Endless Blood River," Lü Buyi could use its endless corrosive properties to neutralize the reversed "Taiyin Turbid Qi" as much as possible.
In this way, it would not be difficult to completely control and contain the Taiyin Beast.
At the same time, this also means that Lü Buyi will officially enter the sixth level - the realm of demigod!
As mentioned in the original work's narration, Wu Fenghua only had the new inspiration to research the Endless Blood River two days before she was laid off.
Therefore, over the years, Lü Buyi only sent people to keep an eye on her and did not do anything else.
"In the original work, Wu Fenghua spent ten years because she was all alone and lacked the necessary conditions for various experiments and research."
"Now that she's been laid off, I'll naturally bring her under my command, offering her a hundred times the usual perks. I refuse to believe I can't create the Endless Blood River within six months!"
Even if it couldn't be made in a short time, Lü Buyi wouldn't panic.
"Endless Blood River" is just one of his six backup plans for subduing the Yin Beast. Even if this one fails, there are others.
To be fair, Lü Buyi had a very accurate grasp of the timing of various plots and origin stories.
He had just thought about Wu Fenghua when a report sent by Li Mei in the internal communications mentioned it.
As the decision-maker and sword-wielder overseeing the Far East region.
The "Candle Dragon" laboratory was naturally under Lü Buyi's jurisdiction, so Li Mei, who was responsible for organizing the documents for Wu Fenghua, was the first to know about the layoff report.
Because Lü Buyi had already told Li Mei about Wu Fenghua a long time ago, he received Li Mei's report and inquiry without any delay.
"Master, do you intend to handle this matter personally, or should I or someone else do it?"
Lu Buyi's true form was currently sitting in the quiet room of the ancestral home—so Li Mei was naturally asking about Hai Du's incarnation.
"I'll do it; there aren't any other trivial matters to attend to right now."
For capable and talented people like Wu Fenghua, respect is the most important thing to them.
Therefore, Lü Buyi believed that meeting with them personally was far better than having his retainers handle it.
On the other end of the communication, after bowing her head in agreement, Rimei agreed to Wu Fenghua's appeal request.
Thus, the telecommand screen appeared in the Glory Courtyard.
As Lü Buyi sat quietly in his study, a tangled mess of red hair appeared on the other side of the screen.
Then a person appeared wearing a white lab coat and large-framed glasses.
Wu Fenghua is still very young, only twenty-nine years old. Although she has the sloppy habits that researchers are known for, you can still vaguely see that she is quite good-looking.
"You must be the officer handling my appeal—"
Wu Fenghua was just a mid-level researcher, so of course she couldn't possibly know Lü Buyi, let alone recognize the face of his grandfather that Lü Buyi was using.
Therefore, she only assumed that Lü Buyi in front of her was the person in charge of handling this matter.
Therefore, feeling resentful, she directly and indignantly expressed her grievances:
"I want to file a complaint against the entire 'Candle Dragon' laboratory, especially that stubborn old man Xu Weiqing!"
"His decision to lay me off was entirely based on results-oriented thinking, and the process he used to lay me off was completely irregular!"
"He doesn't have the authority to fire me directly; that's not written in the company's employee rights charter!"
"He should have informed me of at least five shortcomings in my work beforehand, conducted at least three investigations and heart-to-heart talks with my superiors, and occasionally helped me get referrals to other projects within the same level of the laboratory."
"Finally, after clarifying that I no longer have the ability or willingness to continue research, I submitted a layoff application to the decision-making office!"
"He can't just fire me! That's not written in the employee rights charter at all!"
"I don't accept layoffs! I've been wronged! I want to see the President!!"
