Co-operation with Qiangu Dongfeng.

I went inside the spirit Pagoda. He said someone would be waiting for me near the entrance.

" Are you Fan Lin?" Someone said .

"I am. Lead the way." I said.

* First Person POV*

I am Ye mo. I work as a secretary to President Qiangu Dongfeng. Today he had tasked me to fetch this kid named Fan Lin. He had also specially warned me to not make him angry or else my head won't be connected to my body. I am curious as well scared at that revelation as my life wasn't in danger that much.

Finding the kid was easier as his tanned look can be seen from far away. Just in case I went to ask him.

"I am. Lead the way."

Was his reply. Does this kid even know who he is talking to! Many families pay fortunes just to get an appointment from me. How dare he talk so rudely. Does he have no manners? What had happened to the current generation, how can they be so disrespectful of their Elders. This must be the consequences of allowing freedom to kids If not for the fear of the President's words, I would have shown this kid how he should treat others.

Anyways, I did my job and delivered him to the President's office. My work was done and I am free now.

* Normal pov*

Fan Lin entered the room. Qiangu Dongfeng was sitting there. He gestured for Fan Lin to sit anywhere and poured a glass of orange juice and a tomato. His intelligence network was more stronger than Fan Lin had thought.

"It's our second time meeting. I am Qiangu Dongfeng, President of the Spirit Pagoda and a limit Douluo. Now that introductions over, I need your help in something. You can have all the earnings from the massacre and I promise no innocent citizen would be harmed. Will you do it?"

'He is in the thinking that I don't want to hurt innocents? Interestingly useful.'

"You are Qiangu Dongfeng?" Fan Lin said with a smile. 

"Oh. Do you know about me?" He tried to probe.

"Holy spirit cult." The atmosphere dropped the moment Fan Lin said that. The atmosphere returned to normal moments later.

"Your threat the real then?" He said in a calm manner, his actions deceiving his previous outburst.

" I was never bluffing." Fan Lin too, said calmly.

" I made the right choice." He siad.

"You did." Fan Lin replied

"Let's talk about the plan. I don't like to waste time." Fan Lin said to him.

" Then let's go. I need you to see something."

Qiangu Dongfeng took Fan Lin to various corridors and floors as they silently ignored all the eyes that were looking at them. Just as they were about to turn to another corridor though someone called Fan Lin's name and they stopped.

"Hey, isn't that Fan Lin"

 Fan Lin looked toward the voice. It was Tang Wulin and his group along with some woman. Xie Xie was the one who called his name.

'Does this kid not know that you don't about the name of your classmates in public places?

....

Leng Yaozhu was escorting Gu Yue and her friends to the spirit soul tower.

On her way, she met Qiangu Dongfeng along with a child that was wearing Shrek's uniform.

At that moment, one of Gu Yue's friend shouted," isn't he Fan Lin?'

Catching the attention of all the group towards Fan Lin. And as his voice was quite loud, Fan Lin and Qiangu Dongfeng had heard him as well and they were now looking at her and her group.

Leng Yaozhu thus began a conversation as no else seemed to," Is he your distinguished guest, President?" 

"Finish it as soon as you can." 

The kid named Fan Lin emotionlessly said to President Qiangu Dongfeng and moved along the path they were going.

Qiangu Dongfeng glanced at the kid and then faced her group and said, " He is. Are you finally taking your disciple to the spirit soul tower?" 

Leng Yaozhu shook her head and replied, "Not today, this time is for another group of students and she is joining them as a helper." 

"What about the child that was with you President? What is he here for?" 

"He? Well he is here for his-" [Qiangu Dongfeng]

"None of your business. Hurry up now." [Fan Lin]

Fan Lin returned and dragged Qiangu Dongfeng away with him. 

"Sorry Yaozhu, we will talk later." He said that and quickly followed Fan Lin, leaving Leng Yaozhu utterly confused on who was the child that was able to treat the President of the Spirit Pagoda like nothing and Qiangu Dongfeng didn't even showed any resistance to it as well.

She stared at the corridor until they were out of sight and then turned around to ask the group about him while taking them to the Spirit Soul Tower.

....

Fan Lin and Qiangu Dongfeng arrived at a hidden storage. Qiangu Dongfeng entered some sort of password and the door opened.

There was a cannon like thing in the room and it took most of the space in it.

"This is a God killing cannon prototype. Theoretically , it can even kill a god." He said with pride.

"No. It can't. If it did then Shrek wouldn't have been standing in this world nor would there be a Federation."

Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Fan Lin and asked " Why can't it?"

"If it can then we wouldn't have been talking here. Can you tolerate if normal humans made something that can kill you. You can't. You will send someone to destroy it. We are talking safely here right now because it can't kill a God. If it could then spirit Pagoda would have been destroyed."

".... That doesn't answer anything." [Qiangu Dongfeng]

"You won't understand."

" Ok. Follow me." Qiangu Dongfeng said and took him to another hidden room inside the storage. 

There was a round table in there and on the table laid out a map of the Douluo Continent. There were many places marked on it and all the places marked were near the main cities of the Federation, places that had good security.

"So you want something from the Federation. Gathering attention?" I said to him.

"As sharp as always. I do, I want something and... I will adhere to my promise. No innocent will be harmed and all the money would be yours."

" Make half the money be used to help those poor people who can't afford a good spirit soul for their first ring. Can you do it? If you can then let's begin the preparations. We will start the plan next semester. It will take three days to complete the final preparations and 1 night to execute it. The lives lost should be around 400000 to 700000. The money I can gain should be between 130 to 370 billion Federal credits. Will these be fine for you or should I change something?"

"No no no. It is faster than I expected. I thought you needed years to plan the massacres but I was wrong again kid. This does raise your authentication though. Just lost me the things that I needed to prepare and it will be done." He said looking surprised as if he was caught off guard.

"And you do remember what happened to my previous partner, right? That was because he was greedy. Please don't make me repeat history."

Fan Lin knew that Qiangu Dongfeng was trying to do something big. But he didn't care. He had already set the countermeasure to stop him if he did something else and he needed a lot of resources for his upcoming future as well.

And no, Fan Lin didn't suddenly had an epiphany to do good The reason why he asked Qiangu Dongfeng to use half the money was to use him as the culprit if things went south. The other forces weren't that much of a fool. Give them a few hints and suspicions, they would directly do something to check if the matter was related or not. At that time a single information could cause a lot of changes. The only thing that matters was when to release it.

Fan Lin sealed the deal and returned.

He has to practice mecha designing. He was just this close to it but couldn't pinpoint what was he doing wrong.

He went towards the mecha designing association. He went towards his room. It was the most expensive one and Fan Lin used it to sleep. Wu Zhangkong told him to make the mecha with the contribution points he earned as working student. Not that he couldn't use his money to learn mecha designing. Fan Lin never understood why it was called mecha designing when after forth rank all the designs were for battle armour while Spirit Engineers were the one who designed higher grade Mechas.
