Chapter 12364
Sima Bozhong and the others were all taken aback.
They thought the guy was long dead, but he turned out to be perfectly fine.
Moreover, compared to the others on the list, Lü Bukui's current display of respect, or more accurately, his deep-seated reverence, far surpassed theirs.
If you disagree with someone, they'll kneel down and lick your toes.
Everyone was collectively confused.
Lu Bukui was an extremely arrogant person. Although he came from an ordinary background, his ambition was even greater than that of the second generation of aristocratic families.
Just like this incident, even if it were a second-generation rich kid as bold as Sima Bozhong, he would never dare to have the idea of taking down Lin Yi on his own, recruiting him, and making a fortune in silence.
Hiding with Lü Bukui without the knowledge of the family's higher-ups was already his limit.
But Lü Bukui dared.
The fact that such an arrogant and audacious person was now kneeling in front of Lin Yi and licking his toes was such a bizarre contrast that it was hard for everyone to accept.
However, after witnessing this scene, everyone had even more confidence in Lin Yi.
The several nine-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar masters, in particular, felt no burden at all, but rather felt extremely fortunate.
After all, even Lü Bukui himself was like this, let alone his subordinates?
Unbeknownst to them, the loyalty of everyone present had increased significantly.
Even on a rational level, they didn't think Lin Yi could contend with the entire Tianjun aristocratic family, but Lin Yi had never said he had such a heaven-defying plan.
With Lin Yi's demonstrated strength, that person's background, and the rest of them, they are more than capable of protecting themselves in Tianjun.
After disguising himself, Lin Yi, led by Lü Bukui and the others, arrived at the nearest Tianjia Teahouse.
As for Sima Bozhong and Sima Hongtu, they were sent back to the Sima family.
Given their positions, their combined efforts would be enough to obtain over 80% of the Sima family's core information, making them excellent informants.
Of course, in Lin Yi's long-term plan, these two people are far more than just informants.
Although we now have the Tianjia Tea House as a base, it is far from enough if we want to establish a long-term foothold in Tianjun.
The aristocratic families are the core foundation of Tianjun.
Regardless of whether or not he will become an enemy of the entire Tianjun aristocratic family in the future, from Lin Yi's perspective, secretly controlling a few powerful Tianjun aristocratic families is an inevitable move.
The Sima family, as a leading second-tier aristocratic family, has always been criticized for its behavior and has almost no legitimate allies among aristocratic families, making them a ready-made target.
However, even second-rate families are still behemoths.
The difficulty of plotting against the Sima family far exceeds that of plotting against a single prefecture. It requires a very thorough and lengthy plan and preparation. Planting Sima Hongtu and Sima Bozhong as spies is just the beginning.
Everything at Tianjia Tea House is as usual.
Not to mention outsiders, even the old shopkeeper who had been following Lü Bukui all along couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
Lin Yi found a secluded room where no one would disturb him. Taking advantage of the Tianjia Tea House's cover and convenience, he could easily find various ready-made and suitable aliases.
At this moment, there is only one day left before the track closure for the Shenhou group goes live.
For Lin Yi, this was just the last risk-free window of opportunity. As for how to proceed afterward, he already had a clear idea.
However, whether it will work or not remains to be seen until it is tested.
Using an alias named Zu Jun, Lin Yi entered the racetrack lobby.
After scanning around briefly, I quickly selected a track.
The track of seeking knowledge.
The goal is to lay the foundation for eternity.
To be honest, Lin Yi was a little confused when he first saw this track.
In his view, while there is a very important core criterion for evaluating the role track, it is whether it can be truly implemented.
But at least in its most essential aspect, it is still fabrication.
More accurately, it's about storytelling.
If the story is compelling enough and receives the approval of Heaven, ensuring its practical application, then the winner will ultimately claim the rewards of the final race.
But the path to knowledge he was on was far beyond his comprehension.
Compared to the previous Immortal God Track and Emperor Track, the number of people gathered on the Knowledge Track is significantly less.
This is clearly not a popular track.
There's no other reason than that if you want to make a name for yourself here, you can't just make up a few personas; you have to produce real academic achievements.
It can be a basic law, a fundamental principle, or a related technological research and development achievement.
Regardless of the type, for the vast majority of ordinary people, this is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome.
Lin Yi glanced at the achievement list.
The top ten are basically monopolized by major aristocratic families, and many of the things involved are quite professional, enough to be patented even in the secular world.
This situation arises partly from the inherent strength of these aristocratic families, which makes it easier for them to cultivate a wide variety of talents.
On the other hand, there is the power of money.
Even if the scions of these prominent families on the list couldn't figure out so many patents on their own, they could simply pay to buy them.
Ultimately, it all comes down to channels and resources.
Of the top ten on the list, only one person is not from a typical aristocratic family.
The top spot goes to Cheng Lingyun.
Achievement points: 93.
Lin Yi scanned the area but did not see him. However, based on the discussions of the people around him, he quickly learned about his background.
This is a woman who comes from a local family that is somewhat well-known, but it is not a standard aristocratic family in the capital, and it doesn't even meet the standards of a third-rate family.
At best, it can only be considered a collateral branch of a fallen aristocratic family.
The most important identity label on this woman is that she belongs to the Shenhou Group, one of the twelve groups of the Heavenly Palace.
In addition to the twelve groups of the Heavenly Palace, the Shenhou Group also undertakes another departmental function in the Heavenly Palace.
Technology Development Bureau.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's home to the most outstanding R&D talents in the entire Tianjun County; any one of them could be considered a mad scientist.
Cheng Lingyun's ability to join the team is itself a testament to her technical skills.
Lin Yi was naturally not going to take this destined final opponent of the race lightly. He carefully studied its sand table performance to make sure he had a clear understanding of the situation.
Lin Yi stepped onto the track.
This scene did not attract much attention.
The pseudonym he used, Zu Jun, was inconspicuous to begin with, not to mention that the people on the Qiuzhi Track were all more or less influenced by the temperament of science and engineering men.
Even now, many of those gathered here are not gossiping, but rather seriously discussing various academic issues.
Especially the academic questions raised in the sand table.
Lin Yi's entry didn't cause the slightest ripple.
Upon entering the sandbox, Lin Yi immediately began creating a character, using the same alias name as always. (End of Chapter)
