Chapter 582: Intelligence Sharing
The intelligence network, as the name suggests, is an organization that primarily focuses on gathering intelligence.
The ancient martial families have been standing in this world for countless years, yet ordinary people find it difficult to discover them.
After years of development, the strength of the ancient martial families has become incredibly vast. They have a presence in business, politics, military, medicine, and other fields.
Just an intelligence network, it’s nothing out of the ordinary for them.
Moreover, their intelligence network is undoubtedly powerful.
So how could Lin Tian not be excited? He’s been worried about how to establish this intelligence network in Kanyue City.
An intelligence network isn’t something that can be just established. Once you have capable and strong subordinates, you need to distribute them all over Kanyue City.
This sounds simple, but it’s quite challenging to accomplish. Kanyue City is the core city of the Celestial Dragon Continent where relationships are intricate and complicated. With one wrong move, Lin Tian’s intelligence network could be uprooted completely.
By sharing intelligence with the Ancient Martial the Xu Family, it could significantly increase the room for error, avoid many traps, and greatly accelerate the progress.
"You have an intelligence network too?" Miaoqiu laughed and asked, "How large is your intelligence network? How many years has it been operational?"
Miaoqiu asked straightforwardly. As for the Xu Family’s intelligence network, indeed, there’s no news about Lin Tian’s intelligence network.
"It’s not yet operational, currently just in the preparation stage." Lin Tian replied honestly. Although this truth made him feel a bit embarrassed, it definitely couldn’t be hidden from Miaoqiu.
"..."
Although Miaoqiu had already guessed this answer, getting confirmation from Lin Tian still left her somewhat speechless.
An intelligence network feeds on intelligence; the amount of intelligence gathered indicates how powerful the network is.
Although the Xu Family’s intelligence network can’t be called top-notch, it’s already quite formidable. But Lin Tian’s intelligence network, to put it bluntly, is almost the same as not having one at all.
In such a situation, no one would agree to share intelligence.
It’s akin to a billionaire collaborating with a pauper.
Is that possible?
"With your current situation, it seems like there’s no benefit for me to cooperate with you..." Miaoqiu said.
"You could say that, but I’m a growth stock. Maybe, in the future, I could surpass your Xu Family. When that time comes, you’ll realize how wise your decision to share intelligence with me today was!"
Lin Tian said shamelessly.
Miaoqiu was at a loss for words again. How could one be so shameless to this extent?
Obviously, it’s you who would benefit, yet you want me to feel fortunate?
"Information sharing is possible, but as a condition, you need to help me steal medicine from the auction." Miaoqiu said.
Lin Tian had long anticipated she would say this and snorted softly, "Impossible, that could cost me my life. You should find someone else to join you in this game."
"There won’t be any danger! Many people from our family will assist you!" Miaoqiu hastily said.
"I still won’t go."
Miaoqiu fell silent, and Lin Tian also remained silent.
Both of them had their own demands, but neither was willing to compromise.
Just as they were nearing a deadlock, Miaoqiu said, "Alright, I’ll agree to share intelligence with you. However, you need to give your all to save my father!"
Lin Tian was puzzled by her words and asked, "The medicine hasn’t even been stolen yet. How am I supposed to treat your father?"
"That’s our Xu Family’s problem. Even if we can’t get the medicine, we’ll find other ways. You just need to ensure you do your best."
"No problem. But didn’t I already agree to save your father last time?"
"It’s different. This time, I’m asking you to give your all, which might result in losing your cultivation power, taking half a year to recover." Miaoqiu said with a heavy tone.
"Half a year?"
Lin Tian blinked, and his mind started to race.
The half-year Miaoqiu mentioned might be their cultivation technique’s time, which can’t compete with the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record." By consuming a few more pills, the cultivation level should catch up quickly. So, it shouldn’t be a big issue.
After some consideration, Lin Tian said seriously, "Alright, no problem."
"You just... agreed?" Miaoqiu was a bit in a daze. Wouldn’t someone like him make unreasonable demands at such a moment? So why did he agree so casually?
"Or else what? Do you expect me to ask for something more? I think it’s better to spare you from that. Hahaha." Lin Tian laughed heartily and teased.
Instantly, Miaoqiu’s cheeks flushed. She faces all kinds of people every day; what scene hasn’t she seen? Even when faced with the largest issues, she maintains a calm composure, as if ’Mount Tai were to collapse before her, she wouldn’t change her expression.’
But thinking about the other night, when she personally tore open the red robe, revealing the scenery in front of her chest...
She still felt shy.
"Get lost!"
A charming and enchanting vixen, with a low voice, uttered the word "get lost," and her voice was still captivating.
"Hahaha." Lin Tian laughed even more joyously.
"I’ll find someone else to discuss the intelligence network matter with you. Let’s keep in touch if there’s anything."
After finishing, Miaoqiu directly hung up the phone and then threw the phone onto the big, soft bed.
Miaoqiu sat on the edge of the bed, her ample chest rising and falling with anger. She suffered another setback from that damn guy!
She picked up a stack of documents on the table, and on top was Lin Tian’s information. In the upper left corner, there was a two-inch ID photo of him.
A full forehead, chiselled face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, with a roguish smile on the lips.
Although very handsome and charming, seeing him, Miaoqiu couldn’t help but feel angry.
Suddenly, Miaoqiu’s slender hand took out a red pen from the pen holder, then angrily ’dot-dot-dotted’ Lin Tian’s ID photo with the pen tip.
Until Lin Tian’s ID photo was covered with red spots and became unrecognizable...
Only then did most of the resentment in Miaoqiu’s heart dissipate. Seeing the disfigured ID photo, she laughed triumphantly.
...
"Achoo~"
Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Tian sneezed, then casually rubbed his nose, looking at the computer screen.
At this moment, what he was looking at were the materials sent over by Miaoqiu. The information on each person was very detailed, and there were a lot of them. It could be said that many well-known figures in Kanyue City had their information in front of Lin Tian.
Such detailed information was extremely difficult to obtain, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of Xu Family’s intelligence network.
Among them, figures like Bai Tianlong and Wang Daoran were included. Lin Tian showed interest and glanced a few more times but closed it when he didn’t find anything intriguing.
He organized all the information and then sent a copy each to Pang Yu and Wu Yong.
This information would be very helpful for the development of the intelligence network.
Shortly after, Wu Yong’s call came through.
