Chapter 24
After almost an hour of arguing, Ke Qing and Ning Guang came to an initial agreement. It was decided that 50% of the profits from the enterprise would be used to invest in developments, as well as pay salaries and benefits for workers, 15% of the profits would belong to us as the creators of the idea, as well as investors, another 15% to Ning Guang as the main investor, and finally the remaining 20% would either be put into the country's treasury or divided among other investors. In the case of division, 10% would still go to the treasury, that is, no more than 10% would be distributed among those who decide to join. Why would so little go to the treasury if part of the money for financing would come from there? Because a smaller share would be taken from the treasury, after all, Li Yue is in some way a corporate state mixed with a religious one due to the presence of Morax . And any undertaking, even for the benefit of the country itself, takes into account the prospects for the participants.
Thus, deciding not to delay, the initial agreement was signed, after which Ke Qing and Ning Guang left together, planning to call an emergency meeting today, and the burden fell on me to obtain the approval of the Geo Archon.
- Sir, would you like some more tea? - the maid addressed me while I was thoughtfully looking towards the door behind which the two ambitious girls had disappeared.
- No need, - I shook my head. - You can clear the table, I'll be leaving soon too.
- As you say, Master. - the maid bowed, and having given a sign to the others, began to quietly clear the table, and in the meantime, I returned to my thoughts and, first of all, to two important moments that happened yesterday, but I put it off until later. And both of these moments are connected with the system
[The host successfully defeated his first influential enemy]
[Reward: Elemental Energy Cultivation Technique of Choice]
[Please make a choice and accept the reward]
[The host has successfully entered a new level of existence]
[Reward: Elemental Energy Cultivation Technique of Choice]
[Please make a choice and accept the reward]
These rewards are undoubtedly good, but… I just don't know how to use them . Even if I get the Pyro or Hydro cultivation technique now, I simply won't be able to use them at all, because unlike with Dendro and Electro, Ke Qing and I won't have easy access to these elements. And I haven't had time to accept Electro yet.
[status]
[Name: Yun Che

Mental development: adept (3)
Physical development: average adept (5)
Techniques: Initial Cultivation Technique Dendro , Initial Cultivation Technique Electro, Not selected, Not selected, Tempering Technique: Apollo Body(Completed).]
Having decided to look at my status for the first time in a long time, two things immediately caught my eye.
- Where the hell did space come from? I didn't do anything like that... - I muttered until the realization came. After I became a Qilin, I began to feel the world differently, damn it, I even felt Ning Guang's arrival from the bathroom , and the way I walked through the air seemed like I was on the ground. This all literally hints at the power of space, but what surprised me was the physical development and completion of the Apollo technique, this means that my adventure was not in vain, although there is a slight disappointment. Still, I hoped that this technique would bring my physical characteristics to a higher level than just the level of an average adept. However, I still need to understand what the system means by an average adept.
- However, I have at least decided on one choice. - I voiced my thought out loud and chose the first award.
"I choose the method of cultivating space," I addressed the system.
[Accepted, preparing to load data… analyzing host's mental development… loading data]
Having already prepared myself for the fact that during the download, I would either fall asleep again or the pain would come, I leaned back in my chair and tried to be as relaxed as possible, however, when the information poured into my consciousness, unlike the previous times, I only had a feeling of a slowly filling vessel, which was even comfortable in some ways. Soon, a new development technique was in my head, and I finally understood what the energy of heaven and earth really is, in essence, it is a mixture of the energy of time and space. Why do people die if this energy ends? Because their time ends with this energy. And this also explains why the Adepts show such a high level in space management and can create pocket dimensions. And since the energy of time is also available to me, my second choice is also obvious.
" I choose the method of cultivating time," I turned to the system again, rejoicing at the fact that the two elements that seemed to me the most difficult to access were already with me at such an early stage.
[Accepted, preparing to load data… loading data]
And again I felt my mind begin to fill with information, but after a couple of moments of quite comfortable sensations, I felt as if the vessel was overflowing, and then a sharp Pain came.
- UGH! - I grabbed my head, groaning in pain.
- Master Yun! What happened? - the maid who came in ran up to me, and the rest of the . began to come running at her screams .
- Someone call a doctor quickly! - she immediately shouted when she saw her colleagues running in.
- Stop! - I shouted, suppressing the pain, knowing full well that this was simply the consequences of taking in too much information at once. - Everything is fine, no need for a doctor.
- But sir...
- I said NO, THEN NO! - I yelled, being wound up with anger, before saying in a slightly calmer tone. - Leave me.
"As you say," said the slightly frightened and offended girl before walking out the door with the others.
Meanwhile, I began to feel the pain gradually receding. After the last time, this was quite unexpected, however, the fact that, unlike when I accepted the award the first time, I was even able to speak already indicates that my mental development, indicated in the characteristics, really means something.
Meanwhile, Ke Qing, who had literally just sat down at the negotiating table, was worried, because she felt strange fluctuations in her husband's emotions and she wanted to quickly finish everything and rush to him, but she was stopped by the fact that these emotions quickly settled down, and he was clearly not in any danger, and what is no less important, these negotiations were important for Li Yue's future.
