"Activate the emergency plan Alpha!" Chu Yao's voice still carried a hint of coldness from an electronic tone, but the tension mixed in could not be hidden from Lin Yi.
The atmosphere at the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters instantly froze, and the air was thick with the smell of an impending storm.
Lin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. Old Li, you're playing with fire and getting burned!
On the surface, Lin Yi remained calm and even became more enthusiastic towards Boss Li, dragging him to "investigate the market" every few days. In reality, he secretly used the ability of [Time and Space Dominator] to plant a "Time and Space Imprint" on him.
This mark can not only track Mr. Li's whereabouts, but also create a miniature spacetime barrier around him, intercepting all his communications with the outside world.
These past few days, Boss Li has been riding high, feeling that his operation was flawless. He's just waiting for the right moment to uproot Lin Yi's interdimensional business guild, and then he'll be rolling in money. Just thinking about it makes him so excited that he can't sleep.
He was completely unaware that he had become Lin Yi's sitting duck, and was still smugly boasting to his "partners" in the other dimension about his "great achievements".
"Boss, everything is arranged. We're just waiting for your order. We guarantee that kid will have nowhere to cry!" Boss Li's fawning voice came from the space-time barrier, making Lin Yi want to roll his eyes.
With that level of intelligence, you think you can compete with me?
While listening to the conversation between Boss Li and the interdimensional invader, Lin Yi had Chu Yao analyze their communication.
Soon, Chu Yao identified several suspicious IP addresses and tracked their locations in the real world.
"Boss, these bugs seem to have planted spies within our chamber of commerce!" Chu Yao's voice carried a hint of anger; she had an extraordinary affection for the chamber of commerce.
"Just as I expected," Lin Yi sneered. "It seems these guys are planning to work together from the inside to take over our chamber of commerce in one fell swoop." He stroked his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "In that case, let's turn the tables on them!"
Lin Yi deliberately released some false information to make Boss Li think that he had taken the bait.
As expected, Mr. Li believed it and began to act even more recklessly.
He abused his authority to attempt to steal the chamber of commerce's core data and resources, and even began secretly transferring the chamber's funds.
"Boss, Mr. Li has already started his operation!" Chu Yao's voice was filled with anxiety. "He's transferring the Chamber of Commerce's funds. If we don't stop him soon, the Chamber of Commerce will suffer heavy losses!"
"Don't rush," Lin Yi calmly waved his hand, "Let him spin, let him spin all he wants! I want to see where he can spin to!"
Just when Boss Li thought he was about to succeed, Lin Yi suddenly launched a counterattack.
Using his [Time and Space Domination] ability, he instantly blocked the communication channel between Boss Li and the interdimensional invaders, and froze all of Boss Li's accounts.
At the same time, he exposed Boss Li's conspiracy to the public, letting all members of the Chamber of Commerce know the truth.
When the members of the chamber of commerce learned the truth, they were immediately in an uproar.
They never imagined that the usually kind and amiable Boss Li would be this kind of person!
Anger burned in their hearts, and they all expressed their determination to stand with Lin Yi against the enemy and defend the Chamber of Commerce.
"Boss, we'll work for you!" Long Wu was the first to step forward and declare his support, clenching his fist.
"Yes! Follow the boss! Fight these bugs!" Other members echoed, their voices converging into a powerful force that intimidated the entire chamber of commerce.
Just then, a figure appeared silently behind Lin Yi.
“You did a great job, young man.”
Lin Yi turned around and saw a familiar face—Xuan Mingzi.
"Senior, what brings you here?" Lin Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
“I have something to tell you,” Xuanmingzi said solemnly. “The interdimensional invaders have planted many spies within your guild. You need to find them as soon as possible and eliminate them.”
"A spy?" Lin Yi frowned. "I understand, senior. I will handle this matter as soon as possible."
“Also,” Xuanmingzi stretched out his hand, a ball of energy shimmering with a strange light appearing in his palm, “you should be able to use this skill.”
Lin Yi sensed the immense power contained within this energy and his heart was filled with anticipation.
He reached out and took the ball of energy.
"This is……"
“This is ‘Space-Time Ripple’,” Xuan Mingzi explained. “It allows you to significantly enhance your space-time power in a short period of time, and even briefly control the flow of time and space.”
"Controlling the flow of time and space?" Lin Yi was shocked. This was the ability he had always dreamed of!
“Remember,” Xuanmingzi said seriously, “this skill can only be used at critical moments, and there will be a period of weakness after using it, so you must use it with caution.”
"I understand, senior." Lin Yi nodded solemnly.
"Alright, I'm leaving now," Xuan Mingzi said, his figure gradually disappearing. "The rest of the journey is up to you."
"Senior..." Lin Yi wanted to say something more, but Xuan Mingzi had already disappeared.
Lin Yi clenched his fist, feeling the surging spacetime power within his body.
"Boss Li, and those otherworldly bugs, just you wait," he muttered to himself, "I'll make you pay!"
Suddenly, Chu Yao's voice broke the silence: "Boss, I've detected a powerful energy fluctuation that's rapidly approaching the Chamber of Commerce!"
Lin Yi's expression changed. "Could it be..." The alarm sounded sharp and piercing, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, feeling the surging power brought by the "time-space ripples," as if the sleeping dragon within him had finally awakened.
My goodness, this feeling is even better than taking a super tonic!
"Yao Mei'er, lock onto the target, prepare to engage!" With Lin Yi's command, the Chamber of Commerce headquarters instantly transformed into a steel fortress, with energy turrets, laser weapons, and defense matrices operating at full power, unleashing their full firepower—it was as lively as setting off firecrackers during the Lunar New Year.
Long Wu led a group of brothers, roaring as they charged out, their weapons gleaming coldly, like a pack of tigers descending from the mountain.
"Brothers, charge! If we don't beat these bastards to a pulp today, I'll change my name to Long Liu!"
Lin Yi wasn't idle either. He activated "Space-Time Ripple," his figure flickering and moving across the battlefield like a ghost.
Each time he made a move, it was accompanied by the distortion and shattering of spacetime. Before the invaders from other dimensions could react, they were swept into the spacetime turbulence and instantly turned to ashes.
"Holy crap, boss, that's amazing!" Long Wu was dumbfounded, and almost dropped his weapon.
The battle lasted all night, leaving the Chamber of Commerce headquarters shrouded in smoke and littered with debris, but in the end, Lin Yi and his companions emerged victorious.
They not only repelled the attack of the interdimensional invaders, but also followed the clues to uncover and eliminate the spies within the Chamber of Commerce.
This battle made the Cross-Dimensional Chamber of Commerce famous, attracting countless partners and resources, and the size and strength of the Chamber of Commerce were unprecedentedly enhanced.
Lin Yi stood on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, looking down at the bustling scene below, a smile appearing on his lips.
However, the interdimensional invaders will not give up easily; even greater challenges lie ahead.
He looked up at the starry sky, his gaze deep and resolute.
"This is just the beginning, the real show is just getting started..." He turned to Chu Yao and said, "Pass down the word that there will be a general meeting tomorrow, I have something important to announce."
