But that's the outcome no matter what. Chairman Xu had said long ago that if the other party had any bad intentions, then they absolutely could not be allowed to stay; keeping them would be a hidden danger.
That's why he felt disappointed. There was no fundamental conflict between him and Luo Yu, but it was clear that the other party was not qualified to be an ally he could win over to overthrow "Heavenly Principles." It was over before it even began.
To be fair, aren't there any truly magnificent and righteous protagonists among so many experimental fields? There probably are, but he just doesn't encounter them.
At least not yet... Thinking about it that way, it's not disappointment, Xiao Xu even feels a little sad.
Life is tough, Xiao Xu sighed.
"So, Mr. Xu, what are your plans?"
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Yu Xingchuan couldn't help but ask a question.
"Let's keep to our pace."
Xu Shi sighed, "We can give up people, but we can't let go of the goods."
Take that "Sea God" for example, he's also one of their research subjects, maybe he has some good stuff on him... Well, give it to me then, the same goes for the others.
"learn."
Yu Xingchuan understood immediately, "I'll do whatever Chairman Xu points to."
"Great work attitude! Keep it up!"
Xu Shi was quite satisfied with this. "By the way, I forgot to ask earlier, when you fought those people, what did you think of their skill level?"
"...I didn't feel anything."
The adjutant shook her head. "I got up and took them down in one move. What's there to say? Even if they weren't wearing armor, it wouldn't have been too difficult to deal with them."
As she spoke, she took out several small metal balls from her belt. With a slight exertion, the metal balls floated in the air and changed various shapes.
This is one of the weapons she carries with her, and she can torment her opponents to the point of death with just this—as a +-level "Ascensionist," she has that much confidence.
"I didn't realize before, but you're actually quite capable."
Xu Shi did not deny her statement at all, and asked with great interest, "Could we go a step further? For example... forcibly extract the metallic elements from the human body?"
He subconsciously thought of a scene from a movie in his past life, so he asked casually.
"Well..."
Yu Xingchuan thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"If you can't do that, use mugwort."
Xu Shi joked.
"You agree?"
The adjutant looked delighted.
"Um?"
Xu Shi asked in surprise, "What are you talking about, Miss Yu Xingchuan?"
"You don't really want to sleep with me, do you?"
The other party's directness left him somewhat at a loss for words.
"...Mr. Xu, don't you like it?"
Yu Xingchuan gave an irrelevant answer, merely showcasing her slender figure, "I'm no less impressive than Governor Tang, am I?"
To be fair, the adjutant's figure is definitely not bad—or rather, what combat-type person has a bad figure?
She, Tang Shuang, and Xia Wuyou were all similar in that they had very fit and healthy figures, without an ounce of excess fat, and their deliberately exposed abs clearly showed the outline of their abs.
And those long legs in over-the-knee boots—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you could admire them for a year.
But Xu Shi knew that her purpose was not pure, so he just smiled.
Have you done this before?
No.
Yu Xingchuan didn't shy away from the question at all, "Actually, I've never even had a boyfriend... Director Tang used to be very strict and didn't allow office romances."
Speaking of this, she still wanted to complain. She told others not to talk about it, but she herself took the lead in breaking the rules... Although Governor Tang and Xu Shi officially confirmed their relationship after leaving the Investigation Bureau, the signs had been there for a long time. As his personal adjutant, she naturally had a feeling about it.
However, this was just an excuse for her. The truth is that she had no such intention at all; her ultimate goal was to rise to the top and become a prominent person.
That is her current goal, and her so-called sacrifice is just a means to an end.
"Why me?"
Xu asked again.
"Because... no one before you has achieved more than you."
The adjutant answered honestly.
Actually, she had anticipated this a long time ago, but she didn't know how to approach it. Fortunately, Xu Shi took the initiative to contact her before the last riot, so she was naturally unwilling to let this opportunity pass and decisively placed her bet.
The good news is that her gamble paid off, and Xu Shi has now taken the top spot in Night City of Sin. Of course, she is willing to go even further.
"Is that all?"
Xu Shi seemed to be deep in thought, and then asked an interesting question, "What if someone becomes more successful than me in the future, or what if I'm an old man in my seventies or eighties?"
"...I can't find anyone more capable than you."
Yu Xingchuan paused for a moment, then gave an equally interesting reply, "Besides, you're not an old man anymore, are you?"
"That makes some sense."
Xu Shi remained noncommittal, but he wasn't impressed by this kind of inflexible answer either. "Let's talk about this later."
"What's the difference between now and later?"
The adjutant was a bit persistent; having come this far, she wanted to gauge Xu Shi's attitude.
"The difference lies in whether I'm willing or not, right?"
Xu Shi said seriously, "You're considered my employee for now, but there has to be a probationary period."
"So... how would Chairman Xu rate my performance right now?"
Yu Xingchuan blinked and said.
"Above average?"
Xu Shi's answer was ambiguous: "At least, following your boss isn't a good habit, is it?"
