Chapter 327: Controlling the King

In the car, Zhong Ming still felt that Ji Xinghuo was taking too much risk, but he did not persuade Ji Xinghuo anymore. He just sighed: "That is a star meteorite species. Xinghuo, you are willing to use it as a bet. If you lose..."

"If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter." Ji Xinghuo looked relaxed.

Zhao Manying glanced at him and smiled slightly.

Although Ji Xinghuo said that it was okay to lose, she knew that with Ji Xinghuo's character, he would never do anything he was not sure of.

Last year, when he fought with Shi Renzhong, Ji Xinghuo won the Sky Wrath Blood Spear from Shi Renzhong even though no one was optimistic about him.

Today, he repeated the same trick and changed his opponent to a king.

"Will Li Xuan take the bait?" Zhao Manying asked.

"Not sure." Ji Xinghuo looked at the superconducting road in front of him, "Li Xuan is a smart man, otherwise he would not have become the world's top Internet celebrity. He should be able to guess that I am sure to beat him, but he will not give up easily."

"Why?" Zhong Ming was puzzled.

"He can't bear to leave." Ji Xinghuo smiled and said, "Li Xuan's achievements today are inseparable from his extraordinary talent, and secondly, his business strategy. He relies on traffic monetization, purchases alien species at high prices, expands strange objects and cultivation resources, and he rarely goes to the Star Realm to take risks."

Two years ago, when he was on the front line of the Star Realm, Ji Xinghuo actually had an indirect intersection with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was a bounty hunter and killed many Beiluo Shimen people.

He also set a record for points in a single month.

This record was broken by himself.

Later, when he returned to Earth, Ji Xinghuo specifically searched for Li Xuan's situation.

It turned out that the record for that month was that after Li Xuan was promoted to a super alien, he brought a few carefully selected teammates, led by the most experienced bounty hunter, and killed the Beiluo Shimen people together, and then gave all the spoils to Li Xuan, and then handed them over for points.

That whole month, Li Xuan did not encounter any danger.

There are also rumors on the Internet that Li Xuan hired a legendary strongman to protect him secretly, and he himself was just for show, for marketing and publicity, to build his own personality.

From this incident, we can see Li Xuan's character. He is not the kind of person who dares to venture into the star world.

After that, Li Xuan's several records of entering the star world were not long. Whether it was for adventure or hunting, Li Xuan's real purpose was never to experience, but to hype, show or other publicity purposes.

As a global celebrity, Li Xuan put almost everything about himself in the spotlight, and the records can be searched.

Every time he merged aliens, evolved, and auctioned treasures, he could become a topic.

A little analysis will reveal.

Li Xuan became famous from the primary alien, and all the aliens and expansion objects were purchased until he was promoted to the king of heaven.

The aliens that can be bought on Earth are basically screened many times before they appear on the market.

Therefore, although Li Xuan evolved very quickly, his career template was quite conventional, and he did not have the ability of a "supermodel".

The aliens he merged were all within the system.

The highest was only a super-limit alien, and none of them was a meteorite level, which was a bit of a loss of face for a king of heaven.

If he could buy a meteorite alien, Li Xuan would definitely be willing to pay a higher price, even at the cost of bankruptcy.

Not to mention that "Absolute Hit" fits him very well.

"Yes, he must be reluctant to give it up." Zhao Manying understood and smiled: "Your bait is too fragrant for Li Xuan!"

"It's fragrant to everyone. Which alien of the Xingyue alien species doesn't want it?" Zhong Ming sat in the back row and touched his chin, his mood was still a little excited.

Ji Xinghuo snorted: "If he wants to use my traffic, he will have to pay the price."

"Is it also for me?" Zhao Manying's beautiful eyes flowed.

"Of course."

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "When you first became famous, you were only sixteen or seventeen years old, not even an adult, and Li Xuan was in his forties at the time. He was shameless enough to hype up the scandal, and it lasted for more than a year. It was too disgusting."

"I was really angry at that time, but fortunately my mother comforted me and the club blocked it for me." Zhao Manying said softly.

Ji Xinghuo held her hand and smiled: "Look, I'll teach him a profound lesson and squeeze out his wealth."

Hearing the word wealth, Zhong Ming's eyes lit up.

He has deeply experienced the role of money. The half month of training at the Ether Research Institute is equivalent to several months before.

Every time he thinks about the 4 million Asian dollars he needs to train for a day, he feels painful.

He often thinks about how to make money at night and can't sleep.

"For a meteorite alien species as a prize, Li Xuan must at least pay 30 to 40 billion Asian dollars, right?" Zhong Ming counted on his fingers.

This much money is enough for him to practice at the Ether Research Institute for decades!

"30 to 40 billion can't beat me." Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

He bought the absolute hit from the virtual spirit guest, and spent 1,300 ether crystals, which is equivalent to 26 billion Asian dollars.

But the true value of the meteorite alien species is not calculated in this way.

1,300 ether crystals can buy a meteorite alien species in the star world; and 26 billion on Earth can never buy "absolute hit".

If it is auctioned, the transaction price can be doubled several times.

Zhao Manying suggested: "Li Xuan is the one who is in a hurry anyway. If you delay him, the bid will naturally go up. He has been a big internet celebrity for decades and has huge income every year. He can squeeze out at least 100 billion."

"100 billion!"

Zhong Ming, who was sitting in the back row, screamed in surprise and felt a little dizzy.

Then he became worried again.

"Xinghuo, how sure are you that you can win?" Zhong Ming couldn't imagine that if Ji Xinghuo lost, not only would he not get 100 billion, but he would also lose the Xingyue alien species.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while, "90%."

"Ah?"

Zhong Ming looked unbelievable. If Ji Xinghuo said that he could win 50%, he would not have any doubts, but 90%?

He shook his head: "Li Xuan is a king anyway, you can't be careless."

"What about the king?"

Ji Xinghuo's face was calm, "The gap between aliens is greater than the gap between humans and pigs. The kings are also different. If it was another king, I would consider it more carefully, but if I fight with Li Xuan, hehe..."

Li Xuan is a very special one among the kings.

He is the youngest of the 49 kings in the world, just turned 50, but he is not the youngest king in history, and his talent is not the best.

His fighting talent is excellent, but he has not experienced the test of life and death.

His attack style is also a bit off. In order to present the best visual effect, the fighting is grand and the sword light is everywhere, comparable to movie special effects, but for an alien who grew up in actual combat, it is a bit flashy.

In order to be promoted to the king of heaven as quickly as possible, his star power creates enough gimmicks to attract attention, so the accumulation is not deep enough.

In short, there is a reason why Li Xuan ranks fifth from the bottom on the king of heaven list.

Of course, Li Xuan is not useless.

To be able to become a king of heaven and stand out from tens of billions of earthlings, Li Xuan's talent is unquestionable, and he must have hidden a few tricks.

The gap between the king of heaven and the legend is enough to wipe out Li Xuan's many shortcomings.

What's more, Ji Xinghuo is just a super alien.

"I dare not dream that a super alien can beat a king of heaven." Zhong Ming felt that he could not understand Ji Xinghuo, and he did not take a king of heaven seriously.

"Second brother, your vision is still shallow." Ji Xinghuo laughed, "Others can't do it, but I can."

He looked at his brother.

"I am the first in the ladder, and I will be the first in the legend and the world in the future!" Ji Xinghuo said seriously: "I can do what others can't do; I can break the rules that others can't break; because I am Ji Xinghuo!"

Because I have cheats.

These words shocked Zhong Ming's mind, as if he was meeting the person who grew up with him for the first time.

Zhao Manying's eyes were also shining, and she held Ji Xinghuo's hand tightly.

"Awesome!"

It took a long time for Zhong Ming to recover.

"Hahaha..." Ji Xinghuo patted his shoulder, "You don't have to worry too much. Even if I fight with Li Xuan, it will be October 1st. By then, I should not be a super alien."

Zhong Ming's eyes widened, "You want to be promoted to legend?"

"I have this plan." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

From super alien to legend, this evolution also has bottlenecks. The biggest difficulty is to increase the density of star power and transform from plasma compression to gas flow.

This requires a lot of star power, which is very difficult for other aliens.

Countless super aliens have stagnated for many years, just to increase their star power, but they can never reach the required critical line in their lifetime.

Ji Xinghuo knew that he would definitely be fine.

His star power is more than five times that of ordinary super aliens, and he can easily reach the critical line, and only needs some auxiliary means to trigger evolution.

The Ether Research Institute has corresponding research, and then ask Director Ke for help.

Promoted to Legend, and then merged with overload.

The strength has risen to another level, narrowing the gap with Li Xuan. The October duel is not a sure win, but it is also a sure win.

"Damn it." Zhong Ming suddenly burst out a swear word, with a helpless look on his face: "We grew up together, we are of the same age, and our strength was about the same before. Now you are about to be promoted to Legend, and I am still a mid-level alien, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

Ji Xinghuo smiled and said: "So you have to work harder, second brother."

"After dinner, I will go back to the Ether Research Institute." Zhong Ming nodded fiercely and decided not to rest tonight.

Zhao Manying also felt the pressure.

She was about to speak, but Ji Xinghuo's phone rang.

"It's Li Xuan." Ji Xinghuo took a look before answering the call, and hung up after a few simple words.

Zhong Ming asked, "What did he say?"

"All the income from the live broadcast belongs to me, plus 20 billion Asian dollars in cash." Ji Xinghuo said, "I refused."

This is definitely not enough.

But he is not in a hurry anyway, he has the absolute initiative, let Li Xuan worry.

Zhao Manying flipped out the screen of his mobile phone, "The duel between you and Li Xuan has been spread on the Internet, but there is no mention of the meteorite alien."

"Never mind him, let's eat first."

The maglev car arrived at the restaurant reserved by the family.

In the next two days, Ji Xinghuo practiced as usual, spending 15 hours a day in the Ether Research Institute, and the rest of the time with Zhao Manying in their own world, inseparable and happy.

The duel with Li Xuan has been fully exposed, and the Internet is very popular, and it remains high, dominating the headlines.

Li Xuan has benefited before the fight, and got the traffic he wanted.

However, he didn't sleep well for two days.

He hyped up the topic, accepted media interviews, and repeatedly mentioned the matter during live broadcasts to increase his exposure. He also contacted Ji Xinghuo many times and raised his bid, but was rejected every time.

The more this happened, the more reluctant Li Xuan was to give up.

On the 19th, his team changed their strategy and made the matter of the absolute hit of the Starfall alien species a lottery directly public.

It immediately caused a huge sensation.

"Holy shit!"

Ji Xinghuo didn't practice today. He came to see Lu Yunhai in the afternoon. Tomorrow is Lu Yunhai's wedding day. As the best man, he needs to prepare in advance.

The two were discussing tomorrow's arrangements when Lu Yunhai glanced at his phone and suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong? I was shocked." Ji Xinghuo was puzzled.

Lu Yunhai turned the phone over: "See for yourself."

Ji Xinghuo glanced at it and realized that Li Xuan had told him the information about the Starfall alien species. Someone immediately shouted to him, willing to buy "Absolute Hit" at a high price.

There are even billionaires, legends and kings bidding online.

The current highest bidder is a legendary strongman from the American Federation, the head of the Morgan family, the seventh richest man in the world, his profession is a "sharp shooter", and he directly shouted out 50 billion Asian dollars.

The price has temporarily deterred others.

At the same time, it also attracted countless melon-eating people and set off a new wave of craze on the Internet.

Ji Xinghuo muttered: "What the hell is Li Xuan doing?"

There were several other people present in the lounge of the Aether Research Institute that day. He originally thought that Li Xuan would keep those people secret.

The fewer people who know about the Xingyun alien species, the greater the chance Li Xuan will get.

Now everyone knows it.

Although the popularity has skyrocketed again and the traffic has surged, it has also brought pressure to both himself and Li Xuan.

Maybe, even this duel will be ruined.

"50 billion!"

Lu Yunhai's eyes widened, "If I had so much money, I could just lie down and not have to venture into the star world for the rest of my life. I could have a few children with Yinping and live a happy life."

"It's a beautiful idea." Ji Xinghuo laughed, "That's all you have to offer?"

"I don't have such a high talent as you, nor do I have such big pursuits. If I can become a super alien and give me a few billion, I will be satisfied." Lu Yunhai said seriously.

"That's pretty easy..."

While Ji Xinghuo was talking, Li Xuan called. He picked up the phone and asked, "Li Xuan, do you still want alien species?"

"Of course I want it." Li Xuan crossed his arms and snorted, "But don't try to manipulate me with this."

He looked confident, "Either you quickly agree to my lottery and set a duel contract so that others can't intervene to purchase the alien species; or you continue to delay and see how long you can withstand the pressure."

"Whatever you want." Ji Xinghuo didn't agree with him.

Seeing that he was about to hang up the phone, Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, there are countless kings and legends in the world now eyeing your alien species. Only I can help you bear the pressure without interference..."

"Idiot." Ji Xinghuo cut off before he could finish listening.

Lu Yunhai next to him gave a thumbs up: "You are the only one who dares to call a king a fool!"

Ji Xinghuo laughed.

Li Xuan's approach was unexpected. Although the strategy was right, he obviously did not know his official identity, let alone who was standing behind him.

This also reveals one thing.

Although Li Xuan is the King of Heaven and a top celebrity in the world, in fact, he has not reached the top of the power pyramid and has no access to the core, otherwise he would not know that he is a swordsman in the Sword Bureau.

"Internet celebrities are still a little bit shy. Even the king is not good enough." Ji Xinghuo thought to himself.

He logged into his social account.

Lu Yunhai saw that the page showed 2.2 billion followers, his face was extremely envious, and he asked in surprise: "You want to publish content?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He quickly typed a line of text and then posted:

"Li Xuan is a big fool."

Lu Yunhai was dumbfounded, and then burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha..."

On the social platform, more than 2 billion followers received the prompt immediately. Many people saw the content sent by Ji Xinghuo and had the same reaction as Lu Yunhai. Tens of thousands of comments were refreshed in an instant, and the content was like "Hahahaha" .

Then the people who eat melons are asking, what is going on?

After more than a year, Ji Xinghuo rarely posted a piece of content. Why is he swearing? And he was scolding a heavenly king.

Li Xuan bought the top five floors of a skyscraper in the center of Chang'an, and converted one of the floors into his own studio. At this moment, he and his team were discussing in the conference room.

The sentence posted by Ji Xinghuo suddenly popped up on the big screen on the wall.

The entire conference room could hear a pin drop.

"Hold!"

Li Xuan held it in for a few seconds, and finally couldn't hold back his anger. He slammed the table, and sword energy burst out from his fingertips, cutting the entire conference table into countless pieces.

More than a dozen team members were silent, lowering their heads and not daring to look at him.

"Boss, what should we do?" someone asked boldly.

"Immediately organize a manpower to fight back and give him some dirty information. No matter whether it is true or false, or how outrageous it is, I will put it on his head." Li Xuan said in a deep voice, "And make up some sexy news about him and Zhao Manying. The more obscene the better, this is what fun people like to see..."

He assigned several tasks at once.

The self-media studio has a large army of trolls, which immediately started operating online.

Li Xuan kept refreshing Ji Xinghuo's social account.

There are already millions of comments under the content scolding myself, and most of them are just for fun.

Although he has many fans and is organizing people to criticize Ji Xinghuo for his lack of quality, compared to the huge group of people who like to have fun, there are still too few fans, and most of the messages sent out have been drowned out.

Moreover, Li Xuan knows that he has many black fans.

Usually, these black fans dare not show their heads, and can only say a few words behind the scenes. Now that someone is publicly scolding, they show up.

They are all little black fans!

Li Xuan was very annoyed, thinking about how to publish a formal response.

However, only a few minutes later, the manager in charge of guiding public opinion ran in with a pale face and reported: "Boss, the situation is not good!"

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan looked up.

"Ji Xinghuo has someone behind him, and those messages that discredit him can't be sent out at all. Our account has also been blocked, and even the accounts that have not been sent have been implicated, and the losses are heavy." The public relations manager looked panicked.

Li Xuan also realized that it was not good. Only the official can do this, the "Cyberspace Administration" that all self-media people are most afraid of.

The public relations manager whispered: "Boss, we may have kicked the iron plate."

Li Xuan was silent for a few minutes.

"Let them stop first." He picked up the phone, "I'll contact Ji Xinghuo..." But he found that the call was not connected and he was blocked.

On the other side.

Ji Xinghuo posted the content and ignored it.

He and Lu Yunhai went to the wedding venue tomorrow, a luxurious Chinese-style hotel in the Qinling Mountains. Dozens of quaint buildings were built on the mountain, overlooking Chang'an, with a wide view and pleasant scenery.

This ancient hotel is one of the best wedding venues in Chang'an, and the fees are naturally very high.

Even though Lu Yunhai is rich now, he hesitated for a long time when making a reservation.

In the car, Lu Yunhai said: "I called three best men, and Yinping also called three bridesmaids. Let's go through the process today and have dinner together in the evening. My parents and Yinping's parents have always wanted to see you."

"Okay." Ji Xinghuo nodded and smiled: "The wedding still needs rehearsal. No wonder everyone doesn't want to get married."

"There is no way. Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families." Lu Yunhai sighed. He glanced at Ji Xinghuo and suddenly asked: "When do you and Jianxian plan to get married?"

Ji Xinghuo immediately shook his head: "No plan."

"It's okay for ordinary people not to get married, but you and Jianxian are not ordinary people. You are so compatible, and she is such a good woman. It's definitely not a bad thing to get married early." Lu Yunhai persuaded.

"Let's talk about it later."

Ji Xinghuo was vague. He married Manying, so what about Sister Ren?

The Asia-Pacific Community does not allow marrying two wives.

Isn't it good to have two girlfriends at the same time without getting married?

Lu Yunhai was a little confused, but he also saw that Ji Xinghuo didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't say anything more.

After getting off the car at the hotel on the mountain, Ji Xinghuo followed Lu Yunhai into an ancient mansion with a vast area.

It is divided into the front yard, wing rooms, side halls, bridal chambers, and a lobby wide enough to accommodate thousands of guests. It is built in imitation of ancient courtyards, combined with the aesthetic needs of modern people, and is fully functional. The entire wedding process can be completed here.

Entering the front hall, both families are talking here.

"Dad, Mom, Yinping, we are here." Lu Yunhai stepped forward and called.

Fang Yinping turned around, "Yunhai, you are finally back..." She was halfway through her words when she saw Ji Xinghuo next to Lu Yunhai, and her face showed excitement, "Mr. Ji is here! Yunhai asked me to be the best man, I can't believe it, it actually came true!"

"Congratulations on your marriage."

Ji Xinghuo smiled, "Yunhai is my best brother, he must not be absent when he gets married."

Except for Fang Yinping and his wife, no one else present had seen Ji Xinghuo, and Lu Yunhai kept it secret until now. Although he had some guesses, he was not sure.

Lu Yunhai said loudly: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my college classmate and my best friend, Ji Xinghuo."

Everyone was surprised and happy to hear this familiar name.

The elders and relatives of the two families, the staff who were setting up the wedding scene, and the hotel waiters around them all stopped their work and looked at Ji Xinghuo in unison, unable to hide the shock and curiosity on their faces.
