My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 95 - 83: An Unexpected Incident Disrupts the Plan (Part 2)
The "threshold" for elites has lowered, which means the city is indeed continuously developing and advancing!
Productivity is increasing, and resources are becoming more abundant.
Once all citizens of Jinghai City become "elites" or "elite family members," the city will be able to upgrade to a third-level self-looping city.
By then, there will be no distinction between elites and commoners... Of course, privileged classes like the Xu Family and Li Family will still continue to exist.
But that day is still far away. Currently, Jinghai City only has 3% elites, and upgrading to a third level is very difficult!
The "rift" resources around Jinghai City are pretty average, so development is slow.
Humans can do without this planet beneath their feet, but they can’t do without rifts.
[...I was short of more than eight hundred thousand points back then. For sure, I could have steadily become an elite in another seven years. Unfortunately, I didn’t "hold on" then. I wanted to take a big gamble, so I joined a rift expedition... and then something happened.] —— Xie Zhenhai’s words revealed a bit of regret.
"You really should have held on, seven years would have made no difference, there was no need to take such a big risk." Lu Xun couldn’t help but rebuke him.
Though people say "take a gamble, and the bicycle transforms into a motorcycle," it’s not that easy.
It truly depends on fate!
If fate isn’t on your side, one gamble and things go wrong.
Old Octopus gambled and lost himself;
Including Li Xiaoning’s father, who ended up as miserable as Lu Xun’s uncle.
Even the Xu and Li family clans are likely to have gambled themselves away this time.
[A person’s life is always accompanied by various hardships and challenges, the road filled with countless obstacles. Often, to change your situation, you have to take a risk.
...Back then, you were in the third grade, Xiao Yu was in the first grade. I deeply understood how important education is to a person’s growth. I wanted to be promoted to elite early, so you could all attend the Noble High School to receive the best education, and get into prestigious universities.
I also wanted to move the whole family to the Inner City District and live a good life.
...I just couldn’t hold on, took a gamble, and then failed. Alas, it’s all old history, not worth mentioning.] —— Xie Zhenhai talked about his hard past, feeling low, and sorrowful.
Lu Xun: "..."
"Alright, alright, what’s in the past is in the past, quietly wait for the surgery, prepare for a new life, and stop thinking about the past."
He sighed, changing the topic: "Can you tell me about the rift, uncle?"
Though rifts are dangerous, winning a gamble and successfully exploiting it is a massive fortune!
If you’re lucky, one success can elevate you to an elite, changing your family’s fate.
Lu Xun is naturally interested in the rift!
[Rift, huh? That was indeed an experience one wishes not to recall. A rift is a byproduct brought on by Celestial Convergence, a world full of chaos, disorder, imbalance, and turmoil... a bizarre world patched together from various odd sights and wonders...]

Time flew quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 5:50 PM, dinnertime.
There were four hours and forty minutes left until the scheduled time between Lu Xun and Wei’Er.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
At Jinghai City’s south gate airport, a mysterious large transport aircraft arrived, spraying massive streams of particles from its base as it slowly landed vertically.
A few fighter jets escorting it along the way completed their mission, roaring overhead before vanishing into the horizon.
The transport aircraft exterior bore no markings beyond escort fighter planes, indicating that it was not for civilian or commercial use, but a special department’s dedicated transport plane.
Even the cargo didn’t need to pass through security checks, directly transported away through a special channel.
Minutes later, in a secretive warehouse near the airport.
A massive alloy iron box was slowly wheeled inside.
Alongside it were more than twenty mysterious figures, wearing black cloaks and hoods.
Opposite them, deep in the warehouse, stood another group of people. Leading them was a figure with a cloak draped over his shoulders, a jetpack secured on his back... evidently one of the Xu Family’s Household Servants.
"You’ve finally arrived; we have been eagerly awaiting you."
The Household Servant approached with the family’s Death Warriors to greet the guests, placing his right hand on his chest in apology:
"I’m sorry, we encountered some minor troubles and had no choice but to urge you repeatedly to expedite the delivery."
"The customer is always God. If delivering a day early would satisfy you, we are certainly willing to oblige." One from the opposite side stepped forward, lifting his hood to reveal a human face with an ambiguous smile.
Pa pa~
He clapped his hands.
Instantly, the mysterious ones behind him swung the curtain with a swish, opening the iron box’s door.
Inside the cage, a young man was held.
The Xu Family’s Household Servant hurried forward to inspect the goods.
"Is this the rumored vampire?"
"Looks just like a human; just based on appearance, there’s truly no way to tell."
"Could it be a fake?"
The Xu family members whispered in low voices.
Roar!
Suddenly, a beast-like roar erupted in their ears.
Amidst the discussions, the young man inside the cage was enraged by being referred to as a "vampire." Immediately, he activated his crimson blood eyes, bared his ferocious fangs through his lips, and shouted fiercely and menacingly:
"Dare not to be presumptuous, I am of the Blood Race!"
The Household Servant looked at it curiously for a few seconds, then nodded to a companion: "It is indeed a vampire."
"Blood Race! Roar—" it swung its fist, pounding furiously on the cage, roaring savagely.
"This vampire is quite fierce, indicating it’s healthy and vibrant... the goods are fine."
"I am of the Blood—"
Bang!
The alloy door slammed shut, closing again.
"The transaction can proceed."
The Household Servant turned to the mysterious sellers, clapping hands, and someone immediately stepped forward, carrying a large suitcase.
"Squeak," it opened.
In an instant, bright, dazzling black light emitted.
It was a full case of Black Gold!
"You guys can verify the money first, I’ll make a call to report back to the family." The Household Servant said to the mysterious sellers, "If everything’s fine, the drug brewing will begin in 30 minutes; you should also leave Jinghai City as soon as possible."
Thirty minutes...
The Xu Family originally planned to start brewing the drug tomorrow, but now the timeline had moved up more than a day.
Acting in advance, turning the elf into the Elixir of Immortality, leaving no trace.
...
At the same time.
Elsewhere, Lu Xun was having dinner with his aunt and Xie Manyu around the table.
He was aiming with his chopsticks at a tempting piece of braised pork, and across the table, Xie Manyu did the same, targeting the same piece. The two were about to compete to see who’d win.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Lu Xun’s expression changed slightly, sensing something unusual.
The captain of the Evil Spirit Army intelligence team, Er Lengzi, had lost contact with his River of Souls.
There were only two possibilities:
1. Er Lengzi was discovered and eliminated by the enemy, dead;
2. It voluntarily returned to the Netherworld, as something unforeseen had happened!
He had to confirm quickly.
"Aunt, Xiao Yu, you go ahead and eat, I have to make a phone call outside."
Lu Xun maintained a natural demeanor, put down his chopsticks, stood up, and smiled.
"Ah? Brother, are you upset?"
Xie Manyu glanced at the piece of braised pork she had just won with her chopsticks, suspecting her brother was mad about "losing food."
So she quickly put the braised pork into Lu Xun’s bowl, her voice weakly coaxing: "Aw~ The meat’s yours, the meat’s yours, sit down and eat."
"It’s serious, just a phone call."
Lu Xun turned away, his face quickly growing serious.
Wei’Er’s plan might be unexpectedly disrupted.
She’d have to act hours ahead of schedule.
Luckily, precautions were taken earlier; when at Wei’Er’s house, Er Lengzi wasn’t recalled immediately but was left to continue monitoring.
A bit of a surprise, but no big problem.
