370 Building a New Region! (1/2)
”I understand now. Based on this analysis, I can apply the same approach to Jin Duoming. I only have to remain as friends with Jin Duoming as there aren't any conflicts of interest between the both of us!” Wang Baole immediately said. His voice traveled through the voice transmission ring. Lin You picked his teacup up and took a sip. He smiled.
”You're right. You should know that the Trilunaris Corporation is in a difficult place, politically speaking. There are too many factions within the corporation fighting to control the corporation in the future. Jin Duoming is not the only competitor! They will face fierce competition in the future.
”Even though Daoist Jin acknowledges and recognizes Jin Duoming as the heir to the Trilunaris Corporation, he had been severely injured during the past Monster War. He is still suffering from the side effects of his injuries. It is likely… that he will never be able to break through the Core Formation realm and enter the Nascent Soul realm. The only option left to the Trilunaris Corporation is to bind their survival tightly together with the Federation's survival.
”After all, the Federation would take more care in maintaining its image and reputation as compared to the other political forces when they are trying to devour the wealthy and resource-rich corporation. Why do you think the Trilunaris Corporation spent so much energy and resources in helping you set up the New Mars Region? It's to ensure that you remain friendly towards them and also to maintain a friendly relationship with the Martian administration as well as the Federation!”
”Daoist Jin is a businessman, he isn't the same as the rest of us…” What Lin You said showed his understanding and analysis of the various political forces. His words were priceless. They couldn't be given a price tag. The only ones in the entire Federation who were qualified to have such a level of understanding and analysis of the situation would be those who shared his rank and status.
It was clear that this conversation was Lin You baring his true thoughts to Wang Baole. He held nothing back. He was standing in Wang Baole's place and helping the latter plan for his future.
Wang Baole took a deep breath after listening to everything that had been said. A strange light glimmered in his eyes. He recalled the agreement between himself and Jin Duoming… it had been between him and a Trilunaris Corporation that was headed and represented by Jin Duoming.
The meaning behind Jin Duoming's words seemed deep and layered as he pondered them.
”The Trilunaris Corporation isn't to be underestimated though. Even though Daoist Jin doesn't have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and his corporation is plagued by faction politics, the situation would change if someone achieves a breakthrough. In addition… this Daoist Jin is extremely innovative. He has joined forces with the Federation to come up with an Anti-Spirit Bomb. In theory, if the bomb is successfully made, its power will be immense. A Nascent Soul is nothing in the face of the Anti-Spirit Bomb… the various political forces have tried hard to dig up more information but failed to find out more details. There have even been rumors that the Anti-Spirit Bomb has been tested and proven to be a success multiple times…”
”This is all for your information and understanding only. You only need to remember that Jin Duoming's status dictates that he has to remain neutral in the face of Federation politics. What he needs isn't a friend… but an ally!” Lin You spoke carefully and with great emphasis. He seemed to have heard the quickening of Wang Baole's breathing after he was done speaking. He placed his teacup down, and a flash of approval flickered in his eyes where Wang Baole couldn't see. He thought for a moment, then said softly.
”Baole, do you feel that the politics are much too complicated? Like you are stepping into a deep, bottomless lake?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Wang Baole raised his head and stared at his voice transmission ring. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
Even though Lin You couldn't see Wang Baole nod, he could imagine him doing so. He lowered his voice.
”Regardless of how clear a lake may seem, when you first wade into the middle of it, you will think the lake deep and bottomless. It is vast and murky and seems to hide countless secrets…
”But, once you leave the lake and stand at its edge, when you look at it again, you will realize that the waters are clear. You can see right to the bottom of the lake.
”Why is that? You know the answer. Your sight is obscured because you are in the waters. This doesn't mean that you should leave the lake. It means that when there comes a day when you are no longer standing at the edge but are above the lake, in the sky, gazing down at it, you will find out that the waters are not only clear… but will realize that the lake is only as big as the size of your palm…
”If you look further into the distance, you will be able to see a vast ocean many times bigger than the lake. If you rise further up and lift your head skyward, you will find a greater universe that is even more extraordinary than the world you are in!”
”There are some things I'm not in the position to share openly… Baole, we humans… are but mere grains in a vast ocean.” Lin You seemed like he wanted to continue, but due to some unknown reasons, he decided not to. He only sighed a sigh that seemed to reveal powerlessness and an inability to control his own fate. That marked the end of their conversation.
The sigh echoed in Wang Baole's ears and his head even after the transmission ended. He grew silent gradually as he mused over what he had been told.
A grain in a vast ocean… After a long while, Wang Baole lifted his head and gazed out into the starlit skies. He stared for a very long time, then, he shut his eyes. He wasn't someone who tried to strive for things beyond his means. He knew very clearly that his only immediate concern was the New Mars Region. He would handle whatever came in the future when the future arrived.
