Chapter 571 The Strategist Building

Looking into Li An's calm eyes, Liu Dahu sighed silently.Overnight, Li An was a completely different person.His youthful energy, optimism, and smiles—things Liu Dahu had once taken for granted—had all vanished, leaving only a calm face. He kept everything hidden deep inside, becoming the kind of mature adult others described."Keep it up."Finally, Liu Dahu patted Li An's shoulder, got up, and left.Only Shuangxue and Li An remained in the room.Li An gently pulled Shuangxue's hand, and she understood, lying down on the bed and nestled beside him.The two snuggled together.A faint fragrance lingered around Li An's nose, but he wasn't satisfied with that; he turned his face towards an even stronger scent.Shuangxue's cheeks flushed slightly, her toes clenched involuntarily, and she gently pulled Li An into her arms.Suddenly, Li An said softly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be taking up my post as a strategist in a war zone in about a year.""Come with me, in my name as the lead strategist."War is exhausting.The mission is heavy.But if home is nearby, then it's alright.Shuangxue felt her husband's warmth, closed her eyes, her face flushed with contentment.She murmured, "Xue'er will obey orders."The next day.Li An got up refreshed, but hadn't yet opened the invitation from the Strategist Alliance.There were still many things to do.He had thought about it all night in his dreams.In this era, it's not the army that reigns supreme, but individual strength.War is about luck, and luck is used to enhance individual strength.Therefore, individual strength is the standard by which everything is measured, the key to ultimate victory.So the most important thing is still cultivation.He entered the Cultivation Saint Treasure Pavilion with nearly 5 million Cultivation Saint Points. His first act was to purchase Myriad Dao Stones, followed by cultivation resources for the eighth realm: Divine Realm Essence Blood.It was simply not enough.Fortunately, he would continue studying in the Cultivation Saint Hall for the next year, where he could continue to acquire Cultivation Saint Points and pass various exams and trials.Li An didn't even glance at the content of the third year's trials.Because it was unnecessary.Other classmates were also shopping in the Cultivation Saint Treasure Pavilion—humans, demons, and Asuras were all present.They watched Li An standing there selecting the resources he needed.He didn't say a word, nor did he even look at them, as if they were from different worlds.This was why Li An didn't bother to read any of the rules.Cultivation Saint Hall, Divine Pavilion.The mortal realm, the present era.No one was his match, and not just in one aspect, but in every aspect—all three realms were completely outclassed.His only opponent was the Celestial Realm.After acquiring a large amount of resources, Li An left amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd.Then, Li An contacted the Five Elements Emperor, hoping to purchase a bloodline fusion device from the human race.It was portable and convenient to use.The human race naturally offered no resistance, directly gifting Li An a set of high-end equipment. Each set was incredibly expensive, representing the human race's entire wealth. However, Li An was the future of humanity, so there was nothing more to say.But during this process, someone grew impatient.Meng Chen stormed over to Li An, fuming, and said, "What are you doing? We've been waiting for you for a whole day and night!""Buying cultivation resources," Li An replied innocently."Damn it," Meng Chen cursed, "What do you take our Strategist Alliance for?""Huh?" Li An was bewildered. "I didn't mean that."Meng Chen sneered, "I told you, Strategists are the rarest and noblest profession among humans.""What cultivation resources do Strategists have to buy themselves?""You know what I mean, right?""Don't waste your time. Make a list of what resources you need, give it to me, and then come with me to report."Li An was thus led away by Meng Chen in a daze.He had already tasted the joy of being the center of attention, but soon he would truly experience the taste of power.The headquarters of the Strategist Alliance was located in the center of the High Heaven Domain, a lavishly luxurious building.A travel-worn Meng Chen led Li An, one after the other, into the building.On either side, beautiful female greeters bowed in unison, saying, "Good morning, Teacher Meng; good morning, Teacher Li."Li An felt a little uncomfortable, but Meng Chen didn't even turn his head, asking, "What do you like to eat for breakfast?""I..." Li An hesitated for a moment.Meng Chen was decisive and efficient, disliking pauses and hesitation."Just tell me the name of the food that pops into your head right now."Li An quickly replied, "Pickled cabbage buns, crab roe buns, soy milk, meat buns, cabbage buns."Meng Chen glanced at the greeter beside him and said, "Did you hear that?""Understood." The elegantly dressed female greeter in black stockings nodded.Suddenly, Meng Chen stopped and turned back, saying, "These girls are all highly educated, efficient, and can satisfy all your desires. They are all chaste.""Choose one to be your personal secretary."Such vulgar words, yet Meng Chen's voice remained unreserved, spoken openly and without any hint of mockery, his expression calm and composed, as if it were all perfectly natural.Twelve women of varying beauty and extraordinary backgrounds smiled at Li An, displaying their most beautiful selves with the most dignified posture.Everyone knew Li An already had a wife.But so what?Becoming Li An's woman, even as a mistress, meant a promising future.But Li An shook his head, saying, "No interest. Let's get down to business." Meng Chen didn't waste any words, continuing forward and stepping into the elevator that had been waiting.The elevator was one-way glass; one could see outside, but not inside.The Strategist Building soared into the clouds, standing like a lighthouse in the center of the High Heaven Domain. So, as the elevator started and ascended, looking down, one could see the entire main city spread out before them.Up in the elevator.Meng Chen said unhurriedly, "A person who can handle big things can't handle small things.""You need an assistant."Li An understood the meaning behind this.Human time and energy are finite; strategists must dedicate all their energy and time to handling major tasks.Major tasks are never-ending, so you simply won't have the energy to deal with minor ones.Li An nodded and said, "I can use artificial intelligence, right?" Meng Chen glanced at him and said, "No one is as good as it.""But it's up to you. It's all your decision. I only care about one thing.""Can you win!"
