"Young Master Li, here are the 3,000 spirit stones from our last deal and the 500-inch LCD screen you requested."
As soon as the operating system was activated, Boss Qi arrived at the Li family residence with impeccable timing.
Li Wei casually accepted the items from Boss Qi, sipping his tea. He tossed a storage ring to the businessman. "Boss Qi, those twenty blood fruits were just a warm-up. Now, here are eighty more. Show me what you can do."
Boss Qi was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered with a smile. "It seems the Li family still doubts my abilities. But that's fine. Young Master Li's blood fruits are highly marketable. Give me three days, and I'll sell these eighty fruits."
"Three days?" Li Wei frowned. He had calculated that the Li family would provide him with at least 3,000 beast blood fruits a month. Selling only 80 in three days would mean it would take forever to sell them all.
Seeing Li Wei's expression, Boss Qi was not angry but pleased. This indicated that Li Wei might have a large stock of blood fruits. He quickly explained, "Yes, the blood fruits are new products, So The initial sales will focus on educating buyers about the benefits. Once word spreads, demand will skyrocket, increasing both sales and price."
"Ah, I see." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had no experience in sales.
As Boss Qi prepared to leave, Li Wei asked, "Boss Qi, what about the other item we discussed?"
"No problem, but it's expensive. I've had it sent from outside the region," Boss Qi said with interest.
"How many spirit stones?"
Boss Qi held up two fingers. Seeing Li Wei wasn't bothered, he added, "But let me be clear: once you have it, just play with it quietly. Don't get caught, or I won't be able to help you."
"Don't worry." Li Wei grinned. "If I get caught, I'll tell them I didn't get it from Boss Qi."
"..."
Boss Qi chose not to discuss it further. He glanced at an old lady wandering outside the Li family's gate and asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the weapon refiner from No. 12? Young Master Li, are you in trouble?"
Li Wei replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I had some weapons refined by her before. You know her, right?"
"No wonder." Boss Qi clearly knew about Granny Ling's 'glorious deeds.' "Did she lose out? Couldn't gain anything from your spiritual weapon?"
"I had someone help me. She didn't dare cause trouble. Look at me—weak and helpless. She only dares to bother me."
Li Wei waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't worry, Young Master Li. I have a way."
With that, Boss Qi left.
As Li Wei closed the door, he vaguely heard Boss Qi laughing outside.
"Ah? Aunt Ling? What are you talking about? How could I possibly know Li Wei? No, no, I don't know him. Right, right, right, it's none of my business.
"...This bastard."
Li Wei's facial muscles twitched. He had thought Boss Qi had a solution to calm Granny Ling down, but it seemed this cunning businessman had only found a way to escape the trouble without being affected.
"Alright."
He wasn't in a hurry. After all, Boss Qi and he only had a business relationship, and there was no need for him to get involved in his troubles. Besides, if a few experts aren't keeping an eye on you these days, you can't really say you're making a name for yourself!
...
Back in his room, Li Wei worked for a while to install the 500-inch LCD screen, turning the entire wall into a massive display.
This thing was an antique these days and needed customization.
As he delved deeper into the game, the small screen became inadequate. The larger display offered a wider field of view and enhanced control.
[You have activated the operating system of the War Puppet!]
[It can be activated independently!]
Li Wei chose to activate it.
An immediate trance enveloped him, his vision plunging into a dark cellar. While unable to physically sense his surroundings, he could perceive the war puppet's situation.
It was like taking a mecha control class in school.
The most peculiar thing was that he had another perspective—the real world. He was also operating the mouse and keyboard and moving the view!
He looked down.
He could see the mechanical arm. With a thought, Li Wei could use the arm to make movements, then the feet... and the body!
Not only that.
He also sensed the presence of hidden weapons on the war puppet.
[Lightsaber/a]
[Left Arm Laser Cannon/s]
[Right Arm Laser Cannon/d]
[Flight Mode/q]
[...]
"Can it really do this? This is so fun!"
Li Wei suddenly broke through the cellar, startling Li Yaotie, who was worshiping in the ancestral hall. The 200-plus-pound man was dumbfounded, watching the flying robot. "The ancestors have manifested."
Not only him, but the entire Li family saw the flying mecha! Li Wei operated the mecha, flying around the Li family residence and breaking through the clouds. Although he couldn't accurately perceive the air of the entire world, and the people he saw still looked animated, his feelings became more real.
He even stood in front of his descendants, looking at the tiny descendants, listening to them speak, and watching their astonished expressions. It became more and more wondrous.
"It seems like a real world."
Finally, after consuming most of the war puppet's spiritual power, Li Wei manipulated the war puppet back into the cellar, and his consciousness returned to the real world.
What Li Wei paid more attention to was not the perspective. After all, many VR games can do this now.
What he was really concerned about was that by personally controlling the war puppet, he could maximize its combat power.
Instead of the war puppet automatically fighting, wasting energy with inefficient attacks, he could precisely control its actions to make the most out of its capabilities.
