Chapter 772: The Countrymen’s Excitement!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since he sent Janet out, Su Yang had been sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through books and accumulating virtual servers while waiting patiently.
Before long, the Clown Sea Serpent ended up showing up before Janet had even returned.
The Clown Sea Serpent clearly knew that Su Yang did not like the smell of blood on him, so he swam two laps in the pool. Thus, water dripped from his body like he was a water ghost.
Entering the living room of the villa, the Clown Sea Serpent knelt down on one knee and said, “Master, that person has been dealt with.”
Su Yang looked up from his book and asked curiously, “How did you handle it?”
“Actually, when I first found out that he wanted to assassinate you, I wanted to torture him until his soul was destroyed. But… I realized that I couldn’t do it. As long as I killed him, he would return to the circus’s reincarnation cycle. So, if I want to kill him completely, it would have to be done by you personally. So, this actually gave me time to calm down and think.
“I’ve thought about it, and I feel that we’d be letting him off easy by killing him. So, perhaps we can use him to our advantage.
“Such as… Nurture him into a killing machine that specializes in dealing with matters that are inconvenient to handle.
“After all, his marksmanship skills are pretty decent.”
[Eye of Origins] judged it as. [Only part of the reason]…
Hence, Su Yang looked at the Clown Sea Serpent as if he had seen through his heart.
Then, he replied, “In reality, you’re feeling lonely because you’re the only one in the family who’s doing the dirty work, am I right?”
The Clown Sea Serpent chuckled. “I can’t hide anything from you, Master.
“But, don’t worry. As long as you hand him over to me, I will definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death. I will make sure he atones for his sins by carrying the pain with him forever.”
Su Yang waved his hand casually. “I’m not bothered, you can deal with him as you see fit.”
The Clown Sea Serpent bowed again. “Thank you, Master!”
Just as they were chatting, Little Deeny’s voice came from the living room. “Master, Janet has succeeded in his mission.”
As he spoke, there was a loud “Boom” noise outside the castle, which sounded like something heavy had fallen from the sky!
Instantly, the Clown Sea Serpent stood up and guarded Su Yang.
Then, Su Yang raised his head and waved his hand. “Go take a look.”
“Understood,” said the Clown Sea Serpent as he accepted the order. Then, his body disappeared from the living room like a shadow, obviously gone outside.
Moments later, he returned to the living room with four people held captive.
Of the four, three of them were middle-aged men who wore a single colored suit, trousers, leather shoes, and sunglasses. In fact, they looked like they were the Agents from the Matrix, but they also looked like bodyguards.
Beside them, the fourth person was a young man with white hair and a hip-hop outfit, obviously the culprit.
The four of them had their hands tied behind their backs by a transparent stream of water. Then, they were escorted there by the Clown Sea Serpent.
When they arrived at the living room, the Clown Sea Serpent kicked them to the ground and said to Su Yang, “Master, they’ve all been brought to you!”
…
Wang Jue, the young man in hip-hop clothes who was kneeling on the ground, never thought that he would be having such a day…
He was 28 years old that year, and his father was the most powerful man in the entire Zhejiang Province, making them a powerful force to reckon with within the country. Aside from that, his grandfather was even more powerful, being one of the most senior figures in the country previously.
That was why Wang Jue had been extremely overbearing since he was young, doing whatever he felt like doing at a moment’s notice. There was no other reason for his behaviour except that he had an upright “noble” bloodline!
Even though his grandfather had told him since he was young that the reason why everyone had fought so hard was to defeat the three large mountains, the privileged people who were living off the people’s suffering. Most importantly, the country belonged to all the workers and farmers.
However, could that ideal from all those years still remain the same in reality?
At the very least, Wang Jue thought that it couldn’t.
In fact, he felt that the country had achieved everything it had at the time all thanks to the hard work of his grandfather’s group. Otherwise, the normal class people would probably still be working as eunuchs.
Hence, this was why Wang Jue had always looked down on the unsavory and the immoral because he felt that these people had only benefited from his grandfather.
Because of this, Wang Jue had always looked down on Su Yang.
Therefore, when he found out that Su Yang possessed a lot of technology, he immediately arranged for his spokesperson to contact Su Yang to develop it together with him.
In the end… This spokesperson was sent back without even being able to meet Su Yang.
Knowing this, Wang Jue refused to believe it and personally went to Shanghai to meet Su Yang.
In his eyes, with his high status, Su Yang would definitely bow down to him and cooperate with him.
However, to Wang Jue’s surprise, he still could not meet Su Yang because… The latter was on a business trip at the time…
However, Wang Jue was skeptical about Su Yang’s business trip, so he asked someone to check Su Yang’s high-speed rail and plane records, but there were none.
Thus, Wang Jue confirmed his skepticism that Su Yang was not on a business trip at all. Instead, he thought that Su Yang was clearly disrespecting him by now wanting to meet him!

Ever since Wang Jue was young, he had never suffered such humiliation! Even amongst the children of all big shots, he was one of the top ten! Therefore, Wang Jue kept this “grudge” in his heart.
At that moment, someone from America contacted him and wanted to ask for his help to grab ahold of a unit of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone, even better if it had the relevant technologies included.
Thus, Wang Jue and the other party came to a unanimous agreement…
Of course, Wang Jue was not a fool and knew that it was a huge crime to betray such a level of technology. On top of that, he even knew that neither his father nor grandfather would be able to protect him.
Therefore, he was only pretending to be friendly with the other party as they both made use of each other. Wang Jue would help the other party obtain a glass phone, while the other would help introduce a middleman to Wang Jue so that he could get rid of Su Yang.
Then, after Su Yang’s death, the technology would definitely not be given to that side. Instead, Wang Jue was going to keep it to be developed himself!
On top of that, Wang Jue was not bothered at all if the other party would expose whatever he had done.
After all, Wang Jue’s father was the “King of Zhejiang”! Thus, as long as Wang Jue did not betray his country, killing a billionaire would not matter much.
As long as the researchers, technologies and companies were still around, the core competitiveness would still remain.
Furthermore, with Su Yang’s death, the technology would be publicized throughout the entire country, so all families would be able to get a share of the pie. Better yet, these families might even give Wang Jue a thumbs up.
Therefore, Wang Jue had everything planned out, all that was left was to wait for the assassin to kill Su Yang!
However… Who would’ve thought that the assassin would fail his mission!
Even though Wang Jue did not know if the killer was truly dead or had escaped, the fact of the matter was Su Yang was still alive.
After that, for safety’s sake, Wang Jue could only retreat with his face ashen.
On the way back to Zhejiang Province, Wang Jue had checked all the myths and legends along the way, but he had never heard of anyone in the modern world who could control lightning!
Therefore, when he was on the Sea Bridge, he even declared an ultimatum by saying that if Su Yang was really a man chosen by the Gods, the latter would strike him down with lightning, or even crash him to death with the waves!
Then, as he crossed the bridge… He was actually hit by a wave.
In the car, Wang Jue was stunned.
The moment he was hit by the waves, his only reaction was… ‘Could Su Yang really be a man chosen by the Gods? Is God actually helping him?!’
Then, Wang Jue saw something even more amazing. There was a ball of seawater “holding” a glass phone as it swept toward them.
Then, with a green light emitting from the glass phone, Wang Jue and the rest were sent to a strange world!
On top of that, the ball of seawater had followed them to that world, even turning into ropes that trapped them.
The moment Wang Jue was tied up by the seawater, Wang Jue finally understood. ‘Is Su Yang a monster?
‘All of this just seems so magical no matter how I look at it!’
It was only at that moment that Wang Jue truly believed that the Fox Hunter didn’t run away, but was killed by Su Yang’s “monstrous technique”!
Just as Wang Jue was thinking this, a thin man with messy hair and a dangerous aura escorted them to a castle.
In the castle’s courtyard, he saw a “pink rabbit about the size of a bear”, a “strange light bulb that can flicker”, a bunch of “limbed soybeans the size of eggs”, and a “weird thing that looks like a treant”…
Other than that, there were all kinds of mutated creatures.
Along the way, the most normal thing he had seen in this castle was probably a husky.
Other than its weird eyes, the husky was no different from the other huskies… They were all covered in fur, moving about, and liked to tear down houses…
Walking through the courtyard, Wang Jue and the others were escorted to the castle’s living room.
Then, that was Wang Jue’s first time meeting Su Yang.
Before Wang Jue, he saw a young man with delicate features, who was clearly 19 years old, but only looked like he was 15 or 16 years old instead. Apart from that, his entire body exuded a gentle aura, as if he had actually descended into the mortal world.
Moreover, this man was leaning on the sofa as he read a book without a care for the rest of them.
At that moment, Wang Jue opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the Clown Sea Serpent didn’t give him any chance. Instead, he directly removed Wang Jue’s chin with one hand before kicking each of the other three, forcing them to kneel down.
Wang Jue had never suffered such humiliation before. At that time, he wanted to struggle and resist.
In the end, just as he had this thought, the water that was originally tied to his hands suddenly spread to his entire body, covering everything below his neck.
Just like that, Wang Jue was trapped in a layer of hard water, unable to do anything. Instead, he could only crane his neck like a rooster…
…
After reading for about 10 minutes, Su Yang finally finished the book, “Godlike Harvesting Techniques”.
The moment Su Yang closed the book, his heart slightly shook and the book instantly turned into a sticky note.
Then, Su Yang picked up the hourglass on the table and tossed it to the Clown Sea Serpent. “Go through their memories and gather intel. Make sure that you don’t miss out on anything.”
“Understood,” said the Clown Sea Serpent as he accepted the order.
Then, Su Yang looked up at him and said, “I don’t want the house dirtied, get it done in the dungeon.”
“Understood.”
After the Clown Sea Serpent left, Su Yang stretched his back and stood up from the sofa.
On that very day, with the sale of his glass phone and the capture of his enemies, Su Yang had had a long day. Thus, even though he had the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo], he still felt tired.
Therefore, he arranged for Janet to buy all the materials needed to revive those talents before returning to the Atlantic Ocean. He then went to the backyard and planned to chat with Qing Zhu, catch some fish, and relax…
What he did not know was that the internet had exploded because of the release of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone…
The national pride of the people was actually very strong. They hoped that the country would be rich and powerful, which would then spread to its people.
This was also the reason why many technological products liked to advertise their products in the name of locally made products, or perhaps advertise their patriotism. This was because capitalists were all after profits. Hence, if there were no benefits in return, why would they do such branding and promotion?
However, there were times when locally-manufactured products were really hard to love. Not only was the quality poor, the price was not that much cheaper either. Most importantly, it would always scam consumers off their money.
However, things were different at that very moment. The moment Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone appeared, the entire nation’s pride was ignited.
After Jiadian Mobile’s conference, everyone had been skeptical about this company that was completely unheard of being able to produce such a glass phone. However at that moment, they were all excited and thrilled!
‘This sort of company has finally appeared in China! It has finally reached the forefront of the world!
‘What exciting news!’
Therefore, for a moment, the topic of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phones became a hot topic with the Internet filled with unboxing videos, video reviews and news. At that moment, owning a glass phone became the pride of the entire nation’s people.
However, it was not entirely a good thing to be so popular.
Due to the low production rate of the glass phones and the fact that they were only sold by the three flagship stores in Shanghai, many people on the internet were asking for more.
They wanted Jiadian Mobile to increase the production of the glass phones so that they could be sold throughout the country as soon as possible.
The first person to make such a decision was a well-known cellphone blogger who had a keen sense of what the consumers cared about the most. Thus, after reviewing Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone, he launched this “Request for Expansion” campaign.
On this Weibo post, he tagged Su Yang as well as the Jiadian Group’s official account.
In an instant, the likes and comments on this Weibo post soared. Countless people in the comments section left comments like +1 ,+2… All the way t +10086…
Because he was a famous person himself, and with the fact that Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone was really popular, the numbers on Weibo skyrocketed, attracting the attention of many people.
Hence, Jiadian Group’s new media operation soon discovered this matter and felt that this was a double-edged sword. On one hand, it could increase the popularity of their company, thus increasing their reputation and sales volume. However, on the other hand, it could attract the attention and vigilance of their competitors.
Therefore, they immediately contacted Li Zijun and asked for her advice.
Li Zijun thought about it and asked Su Yang to give her a reply. Actually, it was not that she did not want to expand the production, but because the materials and technology involved were too advanced, hence limiting their production rate for the time being.
This answer obviously does not satisfy consumers who were paying attention to the situation. So, interactions asking for more production continued…
In addition to these ordinary consumers who were paying attention to Jiadian Mobile’s glass phones, various countries, factions, and companies had also made great progress in the sales of Jiadian glass phones…
Ever since Su Yang held the glass phone conference, in the past half a month, many people, both local and overseas, have been attracted by the glass phone.
Thus, on the day that the glass phones were officially released. Various organizations relied on money to buy a batch of glass phones to study them.
However, their research had come to an impasse right from the start…
