I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 256: Power Surge (Double-Length)


Five days later

The spaceship landed on Silver Gray Star

Walking out of the Star Port, Qin Tian immediately saw Feng Mochuan, Li Qi, and Yang Fan who came to pick him up.

Feng Mochuan leaned casually against the pillar at the pickup area, his brown tactical jacket hanging open to reveal a tight black vest underneath. Standing in the shadows of the pillar on his left was Li Qi, dressed in black, with a stern expression. In sharp contrast was Yang Fan, whose well-tailored suit outlined his tall figure. A limited edition smart terminal on his right wrist glowed a soft blue as he conversed with someone, embodying the image of a modern elite.

This dramatically different trio attracted frequent glances from passing travelers.

When Qin Tian emerged, Feng Mochuan's eyes lit up and he shouted:

"Boss!"

Qin Tian nodded in acknowledgment and quickly walked forward.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Li Qi and Yang Fan both bowed slightly as they called out.

Looking at the three, Qin Tian said, "Why did all three of you come? I told you there was no need to pick me up, I could come back on my own."

The three laughed softly, without responding.

When the leader says there's no need to pick up, it doesn't mean you actually shouldn't go. Subordinates have to have some initiative.

Furthermore, it would be fine if all three didn't go, but the worst is if only one person doesn't go, then things could get serious.

"Boss, the flying device is parked upstairs. Do you want to store your luggage first, or shall we go eat?"

Yang Fan asked respectfully.

"Let's go eat directly, there's not much luggage anyway."

Qin Tian said, his suitcase was just for show, it was empty inside, all his personal items were already placed in the Spirit Space.

"Alright, this way please."

The four took an elevator straight to the top floor of the Star Port, where the view opened up—an open platform as large as ten football fields lay before them, with various flying devices neatly lined up, shining with metallic luster in the sunlight.

"Boss, this way." Yang Fan walked familiarly towards the VIP area, where the Lingfeng Company's newly acquired business flying device—a matte black Falcon Level business craft—was parked. Its sleek lines combined a sense of speed with business elegance, and the gilded Lingfeng Company emblem on the tailfin was faintly visible under the sun.

As the four approached, the door of the business craft silently slid open, and an automatic gangway slowly descended. They stepped inside, greeted by the delicate scent of leather mixed with cedarwood.

The interior space appeared even more spacious than the outside suggested. The floor was covered with deep gray hand-crafted wool carpet, soft enough to almost sink in on stepping. On the left were four floating aviation seats covered in top-quality calf leather, with massage modules in the backrests emitting a gentle wave of heat. Between the seats were small ebony tables, whose surfaces were holographic touchscreens ready to display business information at any moment.

The bar on the right was carved from a whole meteorite crystal, with a built-in fridge neatly stocked with rare liquors from various star systems. In a display cabinet above the bar, a dozen bottles of expensive red wine rotated slowly in specially designed temperature regulators, the deep red liquid under the lights resembling solidified blood.

Yang Fan entered the destination on his smart terminal, and the flying device automatically set off for the destination.

"Boss, this is the exclusive flying device our company got for you."

Yang Fan said, "See if you are satisfied; if not, we can switch to another model."

"This is fine."

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Honestly, I don't use this gadget much myself; you guys can take turns using it."

With the ability to use Void Passage, reaching anywhere on the planet would only take a second or a few seconds; though the flying device was luxurious, it wasn't that significant for him.

"Boss, each of us also has a private flying device. Though they're not as luxurious as yours, they're also high-end." Feng Mochuan said with a smile.

Qin Tian poured himself a glass of iced wine, took a sip, and upon finding it satisfactory, nodded approvingly and asked:

"How's the company been doing lately? It should be alright, I presume?"

"More than alright, we're practically making a fortune."

At this, Feng Mochuan's voice turned instantly enthusiastic.

"Yang Fan has picked up most of Yuan Shan Group's previous businesses and also used Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruit from Elf Star to develop several major clients. In just one month, our profits have doubled and the second batch of goods from Elf Star is about to arrive at Silver Gray Star, with a quantity ten times that of last time. The pre-order calls are almost breaking mine and Yang Fan's communicators."

The profit Lingfeng Company made in one month is something he couldn't earn even if he spent his whole life as a mercenary.

Not only him, but his brothers are also doing well and have ample money, leading stable lives, and immediately brought their families to live nearby.

Moreover, with sufficient funds, he purchased a lot of cultivation resources for his brothers, and within a month, many have broken through their previous boundaries.

The overall strength of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps has significantly increased.

He now deeply understands one principle.

Many times, choosing is much more important than striving.

If he hadn't met the boss, he would still be struggling hard, leading his brothers through life-threatening missions, possibly dying in a foreign land at some point.

But now, he has gained the precious Night Demon Bloodline, significantly increased strength, and has made leaps in economic status, personal status, and social resources.

The brothers around him are getting better as well.

All of this was brought to him by the boss.

Therefore, following the right person is truly vital.

In this respect, Li Qi and Yang Fan also deeply empathized.

Without Qin Tian, Li Qi would still be an identity-less assassin, hiding in shadows all his life, with no future, no dignity, and would eventually be destroyed along with the Wen Family.
