"This Alchemy thing, I have some experience with it..." Supreme replied vaguely, not wanting to sound too confident.
"Well... that's good to hear."
Li Hong nodded and then pulled out his smartphone, sliding it over to Supreme.
"Here, try to refine this for me."
Supreme looked bewildered as he took the phone, feeling as if he had just received a hot potato.
He had never seen anything like this! How was he supposed to refine it?
"Can you even refine this?" Li Hong raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp.
Supreme wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly nodded. "Don't worry, refining this shouldn't be a problem. It's just... what kind of effect do you want me to achieve?"
"Well, optimize the System and upgrade the hardware to the highest level."
Supreme was completely lost, not understanding what Li Hong was talking about. What was this System? And what did hardware mean?
Seeing Supreme's confusion, Li Hong felt a bit of a headache.
This guy could be an engineer without any issues, but his foundational knowledge was lacking and he needed to learn more.
"Alright, alright, I get the gist of it. Stick with me, and I'll cover your meals and accommodation with an annual salary of one hundred thousand." Li Hong waved his hand dismissively at Supreme.
Supreme's fingers trembled slightly as he tugged at his beard and asked, "What... what do you mean by that?"
"Enough with the nonsense. I'm asking you, are you going to join me or not? If you join me, you'll enjoy the good life. If not, then you can go to hell," Li Hong said calmly.
This old bastard had no idea how many people he had screwed over. If it weren't for his high-tech skills, he would have been in deep trouble long ago.
Fortunately, he really needed someone with such high-tech talent. After all, he had his own unmentionable ambitions and wanted to achieve great things in the real world.
Although Soulmate and the others could endure hardships, none of them had any real skills; they only knew how to move bricks and nothing else.
It was still Supreme, a special talent who could perform Alchemy and forge items, and was full of cunning—this was exactly the kind of person he urgently needed.
Supreme wanted to refuse this stranger's offer, but as soon as that thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help but tremble. A threat emanating from Li Hong made him abandon his previous thoughts, and he reluctantly said, "Alright, alright, I'll go along with you."
Heh heh, Li Hong patted Supreme on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Don't look so glum. I won't treat you unfairly."
"Then you should at least tell me who you really are," Supreme asked unwillingly.
Having already submitted, it was quite awkward not knowing who this guy was.
"Well, you'll find out soon enough. Just wait here for a moment while I handle some business with Golden Cicada and Sun Wukong," Li Hong replied.
With that, Li Hong picked up the transformed beast and headed toward where Golden Cicada was located.
"Sun Wukong? Isn't that guy dead?" Supreme muttered to himself.
...
"So that's how it is. I've brought Sun Wukong back to life. He's currently at Aolai Nation's Flower Fruit Mountain. If you want to see him, I can take you there. If not, just pretend nothing happened."
After narrating the events that transpired during Golden Cicada's unconsciousness, Li Hong presented her with two choices.
“……”
Silence was Golden Cicada's response to Li Hong.
At that moment, she still felt a bit dizzy. Waking up to find so much had happened was overwhelming. First, Sun Wukong had died trying to save her, then Li Hong revealed his identity to revive Sun Wukong and defeated the Yellow Robe Monster. And now, this guy was asking her to choose between Sun Wukong and Li Shimin.
Golden Cicada smiled wryly and said, “I appreciate Sun Wukong's good intentions, but unfortunately, we are not meant to be. Since you have the ability to travel, please send me west. I’ve been walking for so long; I’m tired of it.”
“I understand.” Li Hong had anticipated Golden Cicada's rejection.
After all, Sun Wukong's feelings for Golden Cicada were entirely one-sided. Golden Cicada had never harbored any romantic feelings for him.
After sending Golden Cicada and Peng Sha Wu Jing westward, Li Hong thought for a moment and decided to send a message to Sun Wukong.
“Monkey King, I can only help you this far.”
Li Hong conveyed every detail of his conversation with Golden Cicada to Sun Wukong, feeling apologetic.
At Flower Fruit Mountain, the monkey lay on a peach tree branch, his gaze distant.
“I understand. Regardless, thank you.”
Li Hong felt an overwhelming sense of guilt at the monkey's gratitude. After all, it was he who had played a trick on Sun Wukong first.
At the same time, he could hear the disappointment and despair in the monkey's words. This was understandable; even though the monkey had been mentally prepared for this outcome, hearing Golden Cicada's rejection still felt unacceptable.
"Ah, what is going on?" After hanging up the communication with the monkey, Li Hong sighed.
He felt utterly powerless in this situation. He couldn't force anyone or directly alter Golden Cicada's subconscious, could he?
Once he dealt with those people, Li Hong returned to Supreme's side.
Looking at the bewildered Supreme, Li Hong smiled and said, "Get ready, I'm taking you away."
"Taking me away? Where to?" Supreme was confused and couldn't comprehend Li Hong's words.
But just after he finished speaking, a black vortex suddenly appeared before him. The vortex emitted an irresistible pulling force, instantly drawing both him and Li Hong into it.
Amidst a flurry of light and shadow, Supreme and Li Hong found themselves in the office of the General Manager of Sweet Potato Films.
Li Hong tossed aside the dazed Supreme and picked up the intercom on the desk, dialing out.
"Hello, this is Li Hong. Please send Soulmate from the Entertainment Department to my office."
Sweet Potato Films had begun to take on the appearance of a large company. This was all thanks to Zhang Yi and Zhang Da Lawyer's assistance.
Although he often wondered why he had gone crazy enough to come to Sweet Potato Films, under subtle influences, he chose to accept it willingly.
True to his reputation as a top law student, upon entering Sweet Potato, he reorganized the previously chaotic management structure.
It wasn't just a skill from his business administration background; even someone from a law background could handle this quite well.
With Zhang Yi's help, Sweet Potato Films finally completed its evolution from a small boat to a lifeboat. Although there was still a long way to go before becoming an aircraft carrier, it had at least started moving in a positive direction.
"Knock, knock!"
"Come in."
The door opened, and Soulmate, dressed in a suit with a blue striped tie, walked in with a cheerful smile.
"Boss, what do you need me for?"
It's no wonder he was feeling proud; the ongoing success of I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf had given him a significant boost in visibility among the public. Even Eastern Maiden, who played Little Red Riding Hood, couldn't match his popularity.
This was all expected by Li Hong. After all, this guy looked good and was quite favored by the older women. Not to mention, his name had inadvertently capitalized on a trending internet phrase. If he wasn't famous now, it would be hard to explain.
