The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 165 - 147: Striving to Expand and Strengthen The Hustlers!_2
At this moment, footsteps echoed through the corridor.
The Netherworld King immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and put on a respectful expression, looking to approach.
But it was an assistant who came out, "Sorry, guests from the emergency handling department, today is the chairman's daughter's... health check-up day, we cannot receive you."
The Netherworld King's eyelids sank.
He looked at the transparent glass, in the distance below... a middle-aged man with pale hair was affectionately pushing a frail girl towards a car.
"I understand..."
The Netherworld King took a deep breath and forced a smile, "I'll come back another day."
He left with the others, his gaze slightly dark.
Someone whispered from behind, "Boss, according to our investigation, isn't that guy's daughter supposed to have a check-up once a month? Why is it happening again now?"
"I'm not sure, but since our plan has been disrupted, and we've missed the chance with this magnate, then we select another one." A faint spiritual power began to emerge around the Netherworld King.
This was his trait, [Control], but the magnates of Night City all seemed to have spiritual power defense chips, so he could not directly control them; he could only make contact and then lower their defenses to gain their trust.
Though he couldn't make them do anything illogical, trust was enough for their actions.

"Su Buxian, you've really done an excellent job."
Adam Hammer's voice was hoarse, but his tone was pleased; his red prosthetic eyeballs flickered with a faint light, looking at the young man in front of him!
The more he looked, the more he appreciated him. He rarely complimented anyone, but now he couldn't help but admire this young man's ability.
In just a few days, he had settled all the unruly troublemakers around the stronghold he took over, and during the days when they were fighting with Jile's Crowd, the protection fees from those shops not only didn't decrease but doubled.
The several inexplicable surprise attacks by Jile's Crowd were all resolved by him! And he even preserved the other strongholds and territories!
"Where do I start?" Su Qi showed a smile, "It's all thanks to the boss's prestige. I'm already more than happy to be able to contribute to our gang."
Adam Hammer's eyes flashed slightly, though pleased, he squinted and gave a raspy chuckle, "Don't... talk about that flattery... I don't like that sort of thing."
Don't like it, yet why put up airs?

Su Qi pretended not to see.
No matter who it was, they liked to hear compliments.
"You've proven your ability, so... you should be given greater responsibility. Next, you can take charge of a weapon factory stronghold for our gang." Adam Hammer's gaze was deep, with a slight sense of oppression, "I remind you, that place is not for fooling around, you will have a hundred gang members stationed there, and if you make any mistakes...."
His metal arm suddenly pointed several red lights directly at Su Qi's forehead.
A lethal aura and pressure spread.
Grace and might combined?
Su Qi's expression did not change, until the red light on his forehead slowly faded.
The machinery on Adam Hammer's arm retracted like scales, swish swish swish:
"Go ahead."
Su Qi said with a smile, "Then boss, see you next time."
Although Adam Hammer had not made a move, that sense of oppression and aura were truly dreadful, and his strength was definitely above average.
Wouldn't others be sweating profusely?
But for Su Qi... if it weren't for the fact that there were many people outside, he would actually like to slap the other's face.
As soon as Su Qi left the place,
He then saw in the distance, many cyborgs, muscular and with an abnormal aura flowing out, all tattooed with the mark of the Black Emperor!
Others already scurried away at the sight.
Su Qi, however, approached calmly, and each of them watched him intently.
Then... they all shouted in unison:
"Brother Su, hello!"
Su Qi showed a faint smile and extended his hand:
"Keep it down a bit, the neighbors still need to sleep."
"Hehehe."
"Also," Su Qi tossed a bunch of Holographic Virtual Coins, whoever got their hands on them, considered it a transfer: "Take it and spend, brothers."
The many gang members' faces lit up, "Thanks, Brother Su!"
To get by in a gang, two things are a must... strength and generosity, and Su Buxian greatly exemplified the latter, especially since his Cyber Coin income now reached millions a day.
And he was never stingy.
After all.
Even throwing money around could earn Points, although not a lot, but the money would soon come back, so it was no big deal.
After Su Qi dispersed from these people,
He changed his clothes, covered his head with a hat, and slowly headed towards the slums, taking many turns before entering a secluded building.
He gently opened a door.
Here...stood nearly forty figures, all of them were owners of big shops from various streets.
At the same time.
As they caught sight of Su Qi, their eyes lit up:
"Su... Chairman!"
Su Qi glanced at them, "Have all the street chiefs from The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce arrived?"
Simon... that is, the burly man from before, scratched his head, "Two haven't arrived, they've probably been delayed on the road."
"Then dock them two little red flowers."
Simon: "...."
Although he had been around him for a few days, he was still not used to the other person's way of thinking, but that didn't really matter.
After all, this young man... had already changed the fortunes of all their merchants.
That night when he said he wanted to discuss a big order, Simon hadn't taken him seriously and didn't trust a person from the Black Emperor.
Unexpectedly... the other party had gone on to talk with shop owners from other streets and managed to bring out a large batch of goods... which instantly sold out and at an extremely high profit.
It was unbelievable!
Now, more and more merchants were gathering, production of the ordered goods was relentless, and they were selling without pause; now so many had gathered to form the Hustlers Chamber of Commerce led by Su Buxian!
Simon's gaze grew fervent.
Su Qi glanced at him, "Your eyes are too dirty, dock a flower for that, too."
Simon: "..."
Hell, even for that, you dock it!
No, that's not right.
What little red flowers, it really doesn't matter!
Su Qi looked to everyone and said softly, "Alright, stop getting distracted, that guy selling the pleasure prosthetics... don't bring your stuff here, turn that thing off, it's like a damn drilling machine."
"..."
"Next, I'll layout the order requirements..."
In fact.
Su Qi didn't do much himself.
He simply stirred up the war between the Black Emperor and Jile's Crowd, so that both sides would be too busy fighting each other to pay attention to anything else, and he continued to fan the flames in the following days—after all, he couldn't let them rest.
Then.
Su Qi used all the money he had amassed to secure a supply of goods—then he made contact with Sha Shili and other players who had gathered players to form camps, which indeed saved Su Qi a lot of effort.
Moreover.
Through the Super Dream Protocol, Su Qi created a complete... unrestricted, risk-free purchasing and delivery quest system that connected everything.
In short.
Once there was a demand for an order, each player... would very quickly receive a mission on their wristwatch and then head straight to the shop's location, with an automatically generated route that would swiftly deliver the goods to the Main City.
Once the transaction was successful, the Cyber Coin for the order would instantly be deposited into the recipient's account.
"This is the Cyber delivery service of The Hustlers Unlimited Company."
While it wasn't anything novel, this system bypassed Night City's network system, undetectable, uninterceptible, and even the major companies were clueless about it.
Dramatically shortening the front-end and back-end processes.
The profits, with the increase of merchants and customer base, were rising as the tide lifts all boats, with every day's figures breaking the previous day's records.
"Why do I feel like I've come here to start a business..."
After leaving the slums, Su Qi muttered to himself.
He slightly moved his wrist, and a silver-white wristwatch slowly materialized. This was that Super Dream Protocol.
The reward he had gotten for delivering the Super Dream MR412 to that existence.
Its function was to hack into networks and perform interference, simulation, deduction and so on... It could be considered an incredibly skilled smart hacker, as bypassing Night City's system was far from simple.
At that moment.
Someone sent Su Qi a message.
[Uh... I went for a health check today... The doctor didn't tell me the results, but my father looked very concerned.]
This was the purchaser of the Super Dream MR412, previously using the account "Florence Grace."
Su Qi had also been keeping in contact with the other party in recent days.
In light of this, Su Qi decided to offer some comfort.
He slowly typed a reply:
"Don't worry, don't be too pessimistic."
"Maybe it's your father who has the health issue."
The other party: "...."
