The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 67: Damn Charm! (Part 2)

While treating Zhao Yue, Chen Mo took the opportunity to ask, "Yue Jie, what do you think would happen if there were sudden internal chaos within the top forces in Magic City?"

"Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?" Zhao Yue looked at Chen Mo strangely.

In her impression, Chen Mo wasn't very interested in the so-called upper class society.

"Just asking. If that were the case, would the Yellow Robe Society have the ability to profit from it?" Chen Mo asked.

"It's hard to say. Various forces influence different industries, and a slight disturbance can have a ripple effect. If there were really a major chaos, it would likely be a blow to the entire economy of Magic City. It wouldn't be easy for a single force to profit," Zhao Yue said seriously.

Chen Mo thought carefully for a moment.

With only six months left until the apocalypse, he had two important things to do. The first was to understand the situation of the mysterious technology company. If he could grasp their biotechnology, perhaps he could mass-produce his loved ones and friends into high-level Metahumans.

He didn't want them to remain as Demonic Beings, Corpse Kings, or Anomalous Beings after the apocalypse arrived.

He wanted to elevate everyone to become proper Metahumans, not monsters.

If he couldn't find the mysterious technology company, he would need to increase his own fame to lure them to him.

But he couldn't be too obvious, or else they might hide even deeper.

The second thing was that Chen Mo wanted to build a solid fortress that could provide a decent living environment even after the apocalypse.

To accomplish these two things, he needed to continuously elevate his public status.

Otherwise, how could he gather a large amount of resources to build a survival fortress? How could he make the mysterious biotechnology company actively contact him?

Therefore, he planned to participate in the power struggles of various forces in Magic City, stirring up trouble and profiting from it.

"I think, if possible, we can form a larger alliance, integrate together, and share this piece of fat meat," Chen Mo said after thinking for a moment.

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "It's rare for my silent brother to have such thoughts, but this alliance isn't something that can be easily formed. The top ten forces in Magic City are all stubborn, and it won't be easy to get them to listen to each other."

"That is indeed a problem. We need someone who can control everyone and act as a mediator. I'll have to think about it," Chen Mo said.

"By the way, Yue Jie, don't blame me for being nosy. Today, I heard Du Renyuan talking about the situation in your Yellow Robe Society. It seems that there is some internal discord. You should pay more attention to this," Chen Mo said.

Listening to Chen Mo's concerned words, Zhao Yue's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked at him seriously, moved her red lips, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just stood up, smiled, and patted Chen Mo's shoulder, saying, "I will handle it well. You don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Sun Lao and the others said they were driven back by you."

"I'm really not used to being followed. I'm sorry for wasting your concern," Chen Mo said apologetically.

Zhao Yue smiled and touched Chen Mo's cheek. "Silly boy, it's not a waste of my concern. The most important thing is your safety. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable being followed. They said you seem to have some skills. Sister knows that you are a sensible person and won't take unnecessary risks. But are you sure you don't need someone to follow and protect you? Even if there are people from the military secretly protecting you, it wouldn't hurt to have an extra layer of protection behind you."

It can be seen that Zhao Yue is still very concerned about the safety of this younger brother. After all, she was the one who started the matter and naturally does not want Chen Mo to be in danger.

Originally, she was prepared for defense, but all the people under her inexplicably discovered by Chen Mo and driven away. If Chen Mo encounters danger, she cannot accept it.

"It's okay, Yuejie. I deliberately told Lao Sun and the others not to follow. I have made special arrangements in secret. I'm not afraid of the Tang family making a move, I'm just afraid that they won't make a move." Chen Mo smiled and grabbed Zhao Yue's hand as he lightly touched his own cheek. "You can rest assured."

"Well, that's good. Regarding your recent emergence, you need to learn the principle of seizing opportunities. You can no longer casually help celebrities and nobles, otherwise they will think you are too cheap. You need to learn to build yourself."

"Understood. I also have such plans recently, so I directly rejected Du Renyuan's idea of hosting a banquet for me. The thank-you banquet from Qin Lan Grandpa should not have any social obligations, so I agreed."

"It seems that you have analyzed everything very clearly, and it is I who have been overly concerned," Zhao Yue smiled and said.

"You don't need to worry too much about my affairs, but if you need any help, just tell me and I will do my best."

"You brat, when I first met you, I didn't see that you were so capable. Did you suddenly meet some extraordinary person who enlightened you?" Chen Mo smiled mysteriously and didn't say much. He got up and said goodbye, "Then I'll leave first. Yuejie, rest early."

Watching Chen Mo leave, Zhao Yue lazily stretched her body like a cat, then got up and went to the window.

Seeing Chen Mo walking towards his home, she went downstairs, locked the door, and then returned upstairs to enter a secret room.

During today's video conference, she mentioned to the uncles of the Yellow Robe Society about the intention of cooperation with the Qing Society.

This surprised the members of the Yellow Robe Society.

Du Renyuan had been missing for so long, and it was widely rumored that he was seriously ill and incurable. This was something most of the upper-class people in the magic city knew.

But today, he suddenly stood up, and even expressed his intention to cooperate with the Yellow Robe Society?

Soon, everyone thought of Zhao Yue's nomination to protect someone from the Yellow Robe Society.

The name Chen Mo was already well-known in the upper echelons of the magic city.

"Xiaoyue, although many people have been spreading rumors that Du Renyuan is seriously ill, there are also rumors that he is pretending to be sick. Even the members of the Qing Society dare not act rashly. Today, he suddenly started to take action. And he even took the initiative to talk about cooperation with us. Could it be that this kid named Chen Mo is behind all this?"

"Yes, I estimate that Du Renyuan is really sick. I received news yesterday that Du Zihang went to Liu Yuanzong's house. He should have wanted Chen Mo to treat his father, but some people say that he is acting through this incident. But no matter what, judging from Du Renyuan's sudden reaction today, he was probably really sick before and now he has been cured by Chen Mo."

"Today, Lao Sun came back and reported that Chen Mo was taken away by Du Zixi. Even if his methods are extraordinary, it is difficult for him to follow to the residential area of the Du family. So he had to come back and report in advance. It seems that this matter is already clear."

Listening to the conversation between the uncles of the Yellow Robe Society, Zhao Yue immediately smiled and said, "That's right, Du Renyuan was indeed seriously ill before, but after being saved by Chen Mo, he is now full of energy. So the Qing Society will definitely go through some reshuffling due to previous events. He is good at centralizing power, and the Qing Society will only become more condensed in the future.

He now wants to send a signal of goodwill to us and wants to reach various forms of cooperation. Do you think we should test him first or directly agree to cooperate with him?

He wants to cooperate with us, obviously wanting to get closer to Chen Mo."

"Win-win cooperation is not a problem. I think we can agree directly, regardless of their original intentions. As long as we continue to cooperate in the long term, everyone will benefit and there will naturally be more cooperation and better relationships in the future. Their initial intentions are not important."

"Well, I agree with what Lao Zhang said."

"I have no objections either. Our development has reached a bottleneck, and expanding with a powerful ally will only bring benefits to us, without any harm. I also agree."

With the votes of the uncles and elders, Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Since the uncles and elders have no objections, let's proceed with the cooperation. Tomorrow, you can send a signal to Qing Society, I won't be involved."

"This is interesting. Qing Society suddenly wants to cooperate with us. Doesn't it feel like it will accelerate the internal division? We must show a strong desire to compete for the main benefits of the cooperation. Then, through this cooperation, we can create the illusion that the internal division has already occurred. At that time, Hong Family and some families in the imperial capital will definitely try to win you over."

"Now we can clearly see how many hands the imperial capital has in this. It's also a good opportunity to infiltrate some people into Hong Family's influence and see what the Tang Family is up to with the company from Bird Country."

Upon hearing Zhao Yue's words, the uncles and elders immediately praised her for her quick thinking.

They only thought that cooperating with Qing Society would strengthen the Yellow Robe Society, but they didn't expect that Zhao Yue would see this cooperation as an opportunity to accelerate the division within the Yellow Robe Society.

If it weren't for remembering that they were the ones playing this grand drama, they would definitely not have thought of reversing their thinking so quickly.

Everyone couldn't help but admire the good daughter that the former chairman had raised, who had such cunning and strategic thinking.

In fact, Tang Family and Hong Family were not particularly concerned to Zhao Yue.

The main concern was that there were too many forces from the imperial capital interfering in the magic city, causing instability among the various forces in the magic city.

If they didn't find and eliminate their actions in advance, and let them prepare to reshuffle the existing circles in the magic city, the forces that were not deeply tied to the families and financial powers of the imperial capital would undoubtedly be greatly affected.

And obviously, the Yellow Robe Society had no connection with any family or financial power in the imperial capital.

At that time, they would definitely be greatly impacted.

This matter must be resolved quickly.

The fact that the Tang Family made a move against the Liu Family made Zhao Yue feel that the Tang Family had some connection with a certain family power in the imperial capital.

Zhao Yue had heard before that there were three major families in the imperial capital that had deep cooperation with some major companies from Bird Country.

The Tang Family had deep cooperation with a Bird Country company, so it was not surprising that they had some connection through intermediaries.

Zhao Yue deliberately involved the Tang Family to find clues about the involvement of the imperial capital in the magic city.

Originally, the Tang Family's move against the Liu Family would require external help. Unfortunately, no one expected that the Liu Family had a fool like Liu Chongfeng, so the Tang Family didn't need any external help and managed to completely ruin the Liu Family on their own.

Liu Chongfeng was completely fooled by the Tang Family and thought that they were really supporting him to take over the Liu Family. He obeyed everything the Tang Family said and ended up signing numerous contracts with hidden traps.

Now, even if Liu Yuanzong stood up again, it would be quite troublesome to deal with.

Originally, by causing trouble for the Tang Family in their attempt to take over the Liu Family, if they created enough trouble for the Tang Family, they might use their connections with the family powers in the imperial capital to mobilize some hidden forces in the magic city to give them some assistance in taking down the Liu Family.

In this way, Zhao Yue could easily discover the hidden connections.

When the time comes to sever the hidden connections, we will directly intervene to save the Liu family.

But for now, the Tang family is in a comfortable position, and it's unlikely that we can see the hidden connections behind them. We'll have to wait for Old Master Liu to revive the Liu family's expertise and buy some time against the Tang family.

If Liu Yuanzong had really fallen yesterday, then the Yellow Robe Society led by Zhao Yue would have had to intervene early to help stabilize the Liu family's foundation. But Liu Yuanzong not only didn't fall, he was even pulled back up. With his skillful persuasion, he managed to secure the support of the Su Group, making it unnecessary for the Yellow Robe Society to help temporarily stabilize the situation. This allowed Zhao Yue to continue lying low, which made her feel more at ease.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that Chen Mo had made a great contribution this time. Saving Liu Yuanzong and Du Renyuan played a crucial role in her plan. By saving Liu Yuanzong, she didn't have to treat the Liu family in advance and could avoid exposing some of her methods. By saving Du Renyuan, she could directly accelerate the apparent division within the Yellow Robe Society, attracting more people with ulterior motives to join.

This was equivalent to speeding up the formation of her plan.

"Although I don't need your help, your indirect actions have greatly benefited me, sister." After closing the video conference, Zhao Yue, holding a cup of coffee, went to the window and looked towards Chen Mo's residential area.

Initially, Zhao Yue had favored Chen Mo because he resembled her deceased brother. But upon careful reflection, she realized that she had unconsciously treated Chen Mo as her own family. This family member had indeed proven himself worthy. Although Zhao Yue had been good to Chen Mo without expecting anything in return, she had unknowingly sowed good seeds, and now she was reaping an unexpected harvest.

This outcome truly exceeded Zhao Yue's expectations. Nevertheless, she still treated Chen Mo with the same mindset as before.

After drawing the curtains and taking a comfortable bath, Zhao Yue couldn't help but exclaim with a smile, "Silent treatment really works. I used to feel a bit sluggish in my blood circulation, but today I don't feel it at all."

Lying in bed after the bath, recalling the scene where Chen Mo had massaged her not long ago, Zhao Yue couldn't help but sigh, "It's strange. I don't know what's happening recently, but the more I look at this kid, the more restless I become. I can't help but have the impulse to take him down."

Actually, it's not surprising. After all, Chen Mo's charm has increased several times, and those who already had a favorable impression of him will only find him more pleasing to the eye. It's especially difficult to resist for the opposite sex. This can only be blamed on the damn charm.

Although Zhao Yue has always taken care of Chen Mo as an older sister, they are both mature young men and women without any blood relation. They have a strong mutual attraction, but they are restrained by the roles they have established for themselves and dare not think deeply about other relationships.

Returning home, it was a busy day. Although Chen Mo still had plenty of energy and didn't need to sleep, he had developed a habit of sleeping. Since he had nothing to do at night, he washed up and went to bed.

Of course, he didn't forget to turn off the notification sound for the system's daily rewards at midnight. He even permanently set the system to mute at that time.

He was only awakened from his sleep by the system's daily task announcement at 8 o'clock the next morning.
