The system invites me to be the boss

Chapter 131 The King of Desperation
On the tranquil Pacific Ocean, the workers of the Yamaguchi Group are still busy day and night. Seeing that the huge offshore platform is about to be completed, Shio Yamaguchi feels unspeakable comfort.

As long as the platform is built and the entrance is protected, the desperation of the mountain pass can gradually be standardized.

He looked at the other side of the ocean, but his mind flew to the huge land behind him.

In the future, the Yamaguchi Group will only get better and better, but Tianqin, who has always been regarded by Yamaguchi as the most dangerous opponent, will soon fall like the pop star that flies across the sky.

This can't help but make him feel lonely and even a little sympathetic.

Li Tianqin is indeed a powerful guy, and all of Tianqin's team members are also very good. This is what he said from the bottom of his heart.

As Chinese people, they indeed carry the arrogance of "I can't help my fate" in their bones, but they only focus on moving forward, smashing their heads, and forgetting another ancient Chinese saying.

The bend of the inchworm is for trust.

The sting of the dragon and snake is for shelter.

A man who can bend and stretch is the way to survive.

So all these years, the Yamaguchi Group has been willing to dormant, subservient to others, and bearing the burden of humiliation.

This also successfully made the Yamaguchi Group the third awakening company in the rankings. Although it failed to reach the upper reaches, it was able to avoid falling into the lower reaches.

But from now on, the Yamaguchi Group no longer has to do this.

With a fixed entrance to the desperate situation, he believes that he can lead the Yamaguchi Group to successfully climb to the top.

Just when he couldn't help but think about the future, Halls, the boss of the Gods Group, walked onto the deck menacingly.

Following Halls were several awakened people in ragged clothes with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces.

"Yamaguchi," Halls' brows were filled with anger, his voice was low and hoarse, "What do you mean?"

Looking at the appearance of this group of people, Shio Yamaguchi had countless doubts in his heart.

Who beat this group of people like this?

"Mr. Halls," Yamaguchi habitually showed surprise, "I don't understand, what happened to your team members?"

"What's the matter?" Hepburn said coldly, "Your people are robbing our resources in a desperate situation, and beating people because of their numbers!"

She was full of grievances, but also angry.

Originally, she took a few teammates to get resources well in the desperate situation.

As a result, the people from the Yamaguchi Group couldn't help but swarm over.

It's not enough to snatch her once, those guys seem to have dog noses, no matter how far she takes her teammates away, as soon as they find the desperate creature and are about to take it down, these guys will come.

During these 10 days, she was robbed 10 times!
The most hateful thing is that the last time they ran into that group of people again, but there were no desperate creatures.

In the end, those nasty guys actually said that they were useless and beat them up.

She couldn't take it anymore, but she couldn't beat her, and she couldn't run away, so she could only come out and file a complaint, and asked her boss to help her get justice.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, I think you should give us an explanation on this matter."

Yamaguchi Shixiong was stunned after hearing this. Were these people beaten by Yamaguchi's people?
Not likely.

He knew in his heart that this time other companies had increased the quota of people entering desperate situations, which had caused widespread dissatisfaction among employees, but it would not happen to such excessive things as directly grabbing resources and beating each other up in groups.

Before he had time to defend himself, Tony, the boss of Sam's Company, also walked over with a dozen people with bruised noses and swollen faces and ragged clothes.

"Yamaguchi Shio, now that you have a fixed entrance, you start to think it's amazing, right?" Tony was not as restrained as Halls, so he walked directly in front of Yamaguchi Shio and almost poked his face with his finger, " Or with Tsuruta Sakurako backing you up, you don't even care about us?"

"Mr. Tony, listen to my explanation..."

"No need to explain," Tony said, "If you want to provoke a war between the awakened companies, we are always with you!"

Shio Yamaguchi shuddered when he heard this.

He dared to offend anyone, not even the Awakened Association.

But only this Tony, he was really a little scared.

There are more than 1000 awakened people under Sam's company. Once a fight really breaks out, where will the Yamaguchi Group be able to watch?
At this moment, Yamaguchi's secretary hurried over and whispered in Shio Yamaguchi's ear.

Shio Yamaguchi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

I just received the news that not only the people of the Gods Group and Sam's Company were attacked, but even the Yamaguchi Group's own team was snatched away by Sakurako Tsuruta.

Energy stones, ores, equipment, and the remains of desperate creatures, as long as they are usable, there is nothing left.

He knew it was incredible, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Why did Sakurako Tsuruta do this? Was it Li Tianqin's fault?
But even if Li Tianqin can survive from the desperate sea, what ability does he have to control the people of the Yamaguchi Group?
This matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise if it continues like this, not only will there be no peace in the desperate situation, but the relationship with Sam and the gods will continue to deteriorate.

"You two, I think there must be some misunderstanding," Yamaguchi Shio said, "Why don't we go into a desperate situation together and get to the bottom of it?"

"I'm going to you, we just need the result!"

Halls and Tony are not stupid.

What should I do if I got into a desperate situation together and got tricked?
Don't look at Shio Yamaguchi who is usually submissive, but he is very insidious in his bones, and he is smarter than anyone else in his small calculations.

"Well, I'll go by myself."

Shio Yamaguchi immediately summoned his staff and entered the forest in desperation.

He has also been here before, and knows that there are many 6-star desperate creatures living here, and the resources are quite considerable.

But now, the dense forest in front of him doesn't look like it did before.

Three 400-meter-high towering trees were knocked crookedly by some large creature, and a large amount of soil was turned over, as if encountering a group of big wild boars, being turned over and devastated.

What's even more sad is that the energy fluctuations that used to be everywhere have now disappeared.

As far as he can perceive, let alone 6-star desperate creatures, 1-star creatures are gone!

Yamaguchi Shio's face turned pale with anger.

Ever since he knew that the entrance was fixed, he issued very strict regulations, strictly prohibiting the wanton killing of these low-level desperate creatures.

No one understands the value of resources better than him, and they must be exploited and utilized reasonably and sustainably.

But now, even the roots of the 1-star desperate plant have been dug up, what a waste!
Moreover, all the low-level resources have been wasted. If you want to get more resources in the future, you have to go to high-level areas.

How many high-levels does the Yamaguchi Group have? How many 7-stars can it achieve if they are all sent out?

Yamaguchi was out of breath, his chest was aching, and he almost vomited old blood on the spot.

"Calling everyone together, we must find those people!"

……

After ten days and ten nights in the desperate situation, Li Xiong felt at ease.

The revenge of the past has finally been avenged, and the depression is also swept away.

But although it's cool, he also knows that there must be a limit to everything.

As the saying goes, keep a thin line in life. I really want to meet him in the future. Of course, people from the Yamaguchi Group may not really want to meet him. If they want to meet him, they will have to meet him on the battlefield of life and death.

The key thing is that they have swept a semicircle around the entrance to the Impasse, and the rest of the place is the Impasse Sea and there is no way to go.

So he felt it was time to retreat, otherwise there might be some trouble when the Yamaguchi Group reacted.

"Brother Cat," after getting along with each other for this period of time, Li Xiong and Bell Cat have become very familiar with each other, and they have begun to call each other brothers, "It's almost done, can we stop it too?"

Of course, Bell Cat won't just leave like that.

After working hard for so long, it is just to wait for this last moment.

If you leave now, isn't your effort in vain?
"No hurry, there is still a little thing." Bell cat said, "You help me do well, and I will give you [-]% more resources this time."

……

Yamaguchi soon gathered a team of several hundred people.

Originally, everyone didn't go far, and everyone was robbed and beaten, so many people gathered together.

After counting the number of people, Shio Yamaguchi found that more than 20 people were missing, all of whom were 3 or 4 star employees.

He was a little confused again. Could it be that these people really betrayed the Yamaguchi Group and defected to Tsuruta Sakurako, who has been behaving abnormally recently?

But why did Tsuruta Sakurako do this?
If she wants to take over the Yamaguchi Group, Shio Yamaguchi is willing to offer it with both hands, is it necessary to use such a method?

Yamaguchi couldn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He flew into the sky himself, and soon discovered that at the edge of the forest, there was a place shrouded in smoke, full of energy, and there seemed to be signs of human activity.

"Over there, let's go!"

With hundreds of mighty people, Yamaguchi soon came to the edge of the forest.

But the scene of entering the goal made everyone feel weird and inexplicable.

I saw that on a piece of open space that was developed, a simple but very tall tower was built with a big tree that could not be hugged by several people. It was more than 500 meters high, and the top of the tower could hardly be seen from below.

Around the wooden tower, there are hundreds of large stone bowls placed densely. I don't know what is placed in them. Thick smoke is constantly billowing into the sky, making the entire wooden tower surrounded by smoke.

More than 20 "missing" employees of the Yamaguchi Group knelt on the ground like a pilgrimage, worshiping the wooden pagoda.

Their faces were covered with black cloth, and there were still many traces of fighting on their armor and weapons.

Shio Yamaguchi watched for a few minutes, and seeing that no one came to talk to them, he asked people to ask those kneeling on the ground.

But I don't know why, no matter how they are called, these people ignore them.

Someone tried to pull them up, and these people seemed to have lost their souls and turned into wooden figures.

Shio Yamaguchi felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

These people are most likely controlled.

What kind of master can control 4 or 5 stars?
"Mortal," at this moment, an incomparably ethereal voice came from the direction of the top of the tower, "Why don't you kneel when you see this king?"

"Who are you?" Yamaguchi asked loudly.

"I...the king is the king of desperate situation. The entire desperate situation is my territory. You mortals who rush in rashly must kneel down and confess your sins quickly, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

A strong 7-star aura instantly came from the top of the tower, as if it was Sakurako Tsuruta.

The staff at Yamaguchi were stunned.

There is still a king in the desperate situation, why haven't I heard of it before?

But there is no doubt that this King of Desperation does have some skills, and it seems that even Sakurako Tsuruta has been subdued.

So everyone looked at Shio Yamaguchi.

To kneel or not to kneel?

Shio Yamaguchi was also very excited at this time, he felt that he finally knew what was going on.

The king of this desperate situation must have ruled this desperate situation before.

This time it is probably because the entrance is fixed. 7-stars like Tsuruta Sakurako went to the depths of Despair in order to obtain more resources. They were discovered by the King of Despair and surrendered.

And he looked a little angry, after all, this was his territory.

If someone ran into your field and picked cucumbers and ate them without saying hello, would you not be angry?
So he asked Sakurako Tsuruta to lead people to suppress the awakened people who broke into the desperate situation, but because he couldn't figure out the strength of human beings, he showed mercy.

It just took back the resources, but didn't kill people.

It seems that this king of desperation is not difficult to get along with.

Maybe if the relationship is established, he can use him to deal with those 7-stars of the Awakened Association, and even deal with several other companies.

By then, will the Yamaguchi Group become the most powerful awakened company?
Besides, if you don't agree, if the king of desperate situation gets angry and asks Sakurako Tsuruta to take action, how many people here can leave alive?

Thinking of this, Yamaguchi Shixiong nodded to everyone.

Just hearing a common sound, hundreds of people knelt down on the ground in unison.

Yamaguchi Shixiong also put away his weapons and knelt down gently on one knee.

"Respected King of Desperation, we didn't know this was your territory. We are so offensive, please forgive us."

Kneeling, he really knelt!

On the top of the wooden tower, the bell cat was on all fours with joy.

Ben Meow is really a cat talent!

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shio Yamaguchi."

"Yamaguchi Shio, very good," said Bell Cat, "Are you willing to surrender to me?"

Shio Yamaguchi felt bitter.

Surrendering is ten thousand times more difficult to decide than kneeling down.

If you don't kneel down, you will lose face, and knees won't hurt if you kneel a little bit.

But surrender is different.

Submitting means obeying others' orders, so how could he easily agree?

Bell Cat also knew that it was a bit unrealistic to ask Yamaguchi Shixiong to surrender. It just said so first and then changed the conditions.

"But I see that you are extraordinary and somewhat kingly. Let's do this. I canonize you as the King of Extremis Ball and designate 10000 kilometers around the Extremis Ball as your territory," Bell Cat said, "In this range Within, you can collect resources at will, but you must pay [-]% of the tax to me, how about that?"

Shio Yamaguchi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied, "Thank you, King of Desperation."

But he is also a man of city and scheming.

Since you are allowed to admit your status as the King of Desperation, then I must give you some benefits.

With a thought, Shio Yamaguchi came up with an idea.

It's better to take the opportunity to let this desperate king help expel people from several other companies.

If he agrees, then there is nothing wrong with treating him as king for the time being.

The range of 10000 kilometers near the entrance is not small, enough for the Yamaguchi Group to develop for a year or two.

As for the rest, that’s all a matter for later, and we’ll talk about it later.

"Dear King of Despair, there are many foreign forces in my territory that are arrogant and domineering. Unfortunately, my ability is too weak to drive them away. Please give me the instructions of the King of Despair on what I should do."

Bell cat thought to himself that this guy is really cunning, and actually wants to use this cat to help him eradicate dissidents?

Promise is definitely not allowed, such a waste of effort, even a cat can't do it.

But if he doesn't agree, this guy will inevitably become suspicious again.

When he was in trouble, a figure ran quickly from a distance, and he was one of the leaders of the mining team of the Yamaguchi Group.

"Boss," the man was burned black, his hair and eyebrows were gone, and he was out of breath, "it's not good, boss."

"what's up?"

"Li Tianqin! Li Tianqin stole an energy mine we found!"

what?
Shio Yamaguchi couldn't calm down when he heard this.

It's okay to be robbed of desperate creatures, as a 7-star creature only has 10,000+ energy.

But this is an energy mine!
To say the least, there are hundreds of millions of energy to be called a mine!

Unexpectedly, this guy jumped into the desperate sea, not only survived, but also went to the mining area to make trouble.

"He is just a 5-star," Yamaguchi Shio asked, "but you have 30 5-stars, how can you still be robbed by him?"

"They have 8 stars." The man replied with lingering fear.

"8-star desperate beast?"

"It's not a beast, it's a human! An 8-star human!"

Shio Yamaguchi was a little stunned, since when are there 8-star humans?

This Li Tianqin really hid it deep enough!
So he turned to the wooden tower and said, "Dear King of Desperation, now there is a vicious guy who dares to rob your energy mine!"

"Who is so cowardly?"

"It's an 8-star person named Li Tianqin."

The bell cat blinked his eyes, and at the same time admired it in his heart.

You don’t need to think about it to know who did it. Who else could it be besides the black-hearted boss?

It originally thought that it had made a fuss here for ten days and ten nights, and robbed the people of the Yamaguchi Group so painfully that it was enough to be devoid of conscience and intolerable.

Unexpectedly, the black-hearted boss was even more rampant than it, and actually robbed the entire mine!
It has to go there, anyway, it is still a mine, and it seems to be good to share a little bit.

"Li Tianqin, right?" Ling Dangmao said, "A mere 8-star star dares to be so rampant, I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

As he spoke, he saw the figure of Tsuruta Sakurako flying away from the top of the tower, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Shio Yamaguchi immediately flew to follow.

Li Tianqin, oh Li Tianqin, no matter how good you are this time, I'm afraid you will be unlucky.
