NOVEL NEXT Chapter 110: People are not as virtuous as before, people are not as virtuous as before, alas!
Meng Yu did not know that after he left, someone arrived at Qingye Small World through the Teleportation Array. As a thief, however, he adhered to the principle of leaving as soon as the job was done, never hesitating to move on, ensuring that there was always a chance for Teleportation. Of course, he would not leave anything for Star Industrial.
Before leaving, Meng Yu destroyed all the factories belonging to Star Industrial, leaving a few bases intact so that the remaining residents could live and work in peace while waiting for rescue.
Of course, he did a few other things too.
For instance, he used a sword to intimidate the accountants, forcing them to destroy various ledgers, electronic records, and so on, amid tears mixed with smiles. He then publicly looted the residents' liquid assets several times, such as their cash on hand, and forced them to exchange it for various precious metals and the like.
Meng Yu helped everyone launder money.
To put it simply, he took away a portion of the Ash Immortal Silver and other minerals. The majority of it, he distributed to the miners, throwing the entire order into chaos. As a result, when Star Industrial arrived, it would be difficult to ascertain who owned what.
Of course, if they insisted on retrieving it, Meng Yu did not care, as he was not the one being affected by the hassle.
He also got to know the special envoys from several departments like customs, navy, and taxation. They took the initiative to leave Meng Yu their contact details, such as a private email address, a phone number, or a promise, such as learning how to help insurance companies pay out less on claims.
"Meng Yu, your crimes are nothing serious. As long as you are willing to join us, there's no problem whatsoever," they said.
"The people from Enforcement Hall may be blind to talent, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't recognize it."
"By the way, can you give us a heads up before you make a move on certain companies? Our company takes pride in our dealings."
The last one was from an insurance company, the salesman looking pleadingly at Meng Yu.
Regrettably, he wasn't a girl.
Meng Yu had a pleasant chat with him, agreeing that Meng Yu had taken control of the asteroid without directly destroying the factories. Instead, he sent all the workers back, and who knows what started the fire? It might have been a cat or a mouse, right?
Meng Yu also enjoyed hearing about how insurance companies could go bankrupt, restructure, and sue and so forth.
Then, he left, returning to Great Wu and spent three months recovering from his injuries.
It couldn't be helped; last time, after the battle, he returned to Great Wu for an hour of emergency treatment. But that didn't mean his injuries had completely healed—it had been an intensely fierce battle.
Three months later, once his injuries had finally healed, he went out again, ready to commit more crimes.
Many people misunderstand, thinking that playing a villain, especially a villain with ideals and morals, will earn the respect and mutual regard of their enemies. But actually, the more moral the villain, the more weaknesses they have.
Only by hitting the opponent hard, causing them severe pain, can you achieve peace.
"Murder and arson earn you a golden belt," but your golden belt comes from your ability to murder and commit arson, not from any respect earned from your enemies.
Now he had come to another Minor World, Pingyang Star.
He had changed his appearance to that of a rough-skinned man in his thirties.
Experience new stories on empire
Pingyang Star was a First-Grade vacation planet, close to the Interstellar Expressway. Many people came here to vacation; after all, everyone was at the First-Grade Qi Training level. It was safer to vacation or even retire on such planets—less risk of being killed by unknown enemies, as long as you had the money, you could do as you pleased.
Dressed in a flamboyant shirt, Meng Yu blended in with the throngs of tourists, strolling around the city with a drink in hand.
He was scoping out banks, Myriad Commerce, various villas, and even though he now had plenty of cash to spare, it did not mean he was opposed to getting something for nothing.
In the city's busiest commercial district.
He wandered from store to store, Meng Yu gazed at all kinds of treasures, his confident demeanor making shopkeepers think he was a wealthy customer, as he entered a particular shop.
"Sir, what are you looking for?"
A beautiful maid approached him.
"My elder's hundredth birthday is coming up, and I'd like to buy him a fine set of Spirit Armor. What do you have here?"
"Please wait a moment, sir."

Looking at the three storage rings on Meng Yu's five fingers, the maid smiled like a blooming flower. Just as she was about to say something, a sudden news broadcast interrupted on the nearby TV.
Star Industrial's stock price had plummeted.
And, it was Meng Yu's doings in Qingye Small World.
Thanks to the law, publicly listed companies must disclose significant events, after all, investors need to know what has happened. And everything that occurred in Qingye Small World could naturally not be kept secret for long.
Could it actually be played this way?
One against a thousand?
The news was so explosive that it left the maid in charge of taking care of Meng Yu, who was also the boss's daughter, shocked as she stared at the screen.
"Is this person too brave?"
Meng Yu was stunned for a second, pointing at the television screen.
"Doesn't he want to achieve Foundation Establishment or Golden Core in the future?"
Meng Yu seemed incredibly shocked.
For cultivators, the purpose of cultivation is to achieve Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even Divinity Transformation. Meng Yu's behavior of bullying like one from a kindergarten was a bit too much, wasn't it?
Although Star Industrial had suppressed the news for a while, the news station at Star Gate, upon hearing Meng Yu's story, sent an interview team to Qingye Small World immediately. They arrived even earlier than the Immortal Sect's main forces.
The TV screen was now showing footage of Qingye Small World. Those people had obtained first-hand information. The Immortal Sect, having confirmed the news, directly dropped four Death Squads down there, and then what everyone saw was only devastation, as well as the mass graves of Captain Luo and others.
The reporters vividly described the situation on-site and how Meng Yu had won.
This was a miracle, a true miracle, that someone of the same level could fight against a thousand!
A thousand enemies!
The news report wasn't wrong; Qingye Small World itself had several hundred cultivators, and with the addition of Captain Luo's Death Squad, the ability to fight a thousand was indeed no lie!
The reporters' floating interview devices desperately captured the Enforcement Hall's staff members' ashen faces, and the screen occasionally displayed the dozens of broken swords sticking out from the front of Captain Luo's grave.
Meng Yu even set up a tombstone for them with a poem written on it.
"Boiling beans with beanstalk fuel, the beans in the pot cry out. Born of the same root, why incite such hurry to fry!"
We're all 996, why torment each other!
Geese harming geese!
"I've fallen for Meng Yu!"
The female clerk, mesmerized by the scenes on screen, stopped even attending to Meng Yu's needs. Ahhh, she was genuinely incredibly shaken.
"But, he will be wanted forever."
"So what? If he can fight a thousand alone, do whatever he wants on a planet, then what does he have to worry about being wanted?
That way, once he achieves Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, he can subdue his cultivation and rob the different Minor Worlds of the Immortal Sect. He can rob Foundation Establishment worlds during his Foundation Establishment stage, Golden Core worlds in his Golden Core stage, and can even rob on Supreme Star during his Nascent Soul stage.
As he carries on robbing, why should he worry about being wanted? Is it not that, instead of the Immortal Sect wanting him, he will be the one depleting the Immortal Sect's spirit stones?"
The female clerk, who was the shopkeeper's daughter helping out during her vacation, was young and youthful. Her shameless remarks stunned Meng Yu.
Shouldn't this be the time to condemn oneself?
"Meng Yu wouldn't be so shameless, would he?"
