Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Around half past eight in the evening, Li Xiaoyao took Zhuo Li and the others to the venues he had allocated with Zhao Si.

They found the person in charge at each venue and told them that from today on, they would be in charge of their places!

When these managers heard that this was Li Xiaoyao, who had recently taken on a hundred men alone, they didn\'t dare to let out a peep and all expressed their willingness to cooperate.

After sorting out these matters, Zhuo Li and his eleven colleagues stayed at the venues.

Li Xiaoyao left the venues to their care. They were to submit all the money collected from the venues each month, and then Li Xiaoyao would pay them.

This arrangement raised an issue because the money from the venues passed through the hands of Zhuo Li\'s group. So if these individuals became greedy, they might skim off a portion for themselves.

However, since Li Xiaoyao had decided to use them, he wouldn\'t harbor doubts unless one day they went too far, and only then would Li Xiaoyao intervene.

Before leaving, Li Xiaoyao called over the eleven veterans and said, "I\'m short on hands right now. In a few days, my woman will be going to some impoverished areas to select poor children to sponsor. But those areas are mostly remote and have unruly folk; I\'m not at ease with her going alone. So now I\'m asking who\'s willing to take on this tough task? Of course, those who go will not be short-changed. We\'ll settle it by days; three thousand a day, and eating and other expenses are counted separately."

When they heard three thousand a day, their eyes gleamed green and they raised their hands eagerly.

Li Xiaoyao was not very familiar with these individuals and wasn\'t sure who to choose.

Zhao Ge seemed to see his hesitation and suggested, "Let Zhuo Li and Xia Zijiu go."

The group of veterans all listened to Zhao Ge. Once he spoke up, no one felt it was unfair; quite the opposite, they were all convinced.

Zhao Ge said, "Zhuo Li has high combat strength, and Xia Zijiu also has high combat strength. However, relatively speaking, Zijiu is a bit calmer. Having the two of them protect someone should be the most suitable."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Alright, once I\'ve confirmed the time, I\'ll give you a call."

Zhuo Li and his eleven comrades stayed in San Tiao Alley, of which Li Xiaoyao now owned half, especially since he owned a bar there.

When Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ge left San Tiao Alley, Zhao Ge suddenly asked, "Do you really know medicine?"

Zhao Ge was initially skeptical, but after witnessing Blackie fully recover under Li Xiaoyao\'s care, he couldn\'t help but harbor hope for Li Xiaoyao. Perhaps, he could truly cure his comrade\'s wife\'s uremia.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Uremia is essentially kidney necrosis, which isn\'t really a big issue for me. I\'ll find some time in the next few days and go back with you to check on her."

"Good," Zhao Ge\'s eyes lit up, and then he said, "Thank you, Xiaoyao."

Li Xiaoyao laughed heartily and replied, "Let\'s not talk about these things between us brothers."

Li Xiaoyao had not told Tang Tiantian about his return today. When he entered the house, he saw Tang Tiantian asleep at the table, with a computer in front of her.

Li Xiaoyao sighed. This woman truly worked herself to the bone.

He knew Tang Tiantian was a woman with a strong will who didn\'t want to be a housewife, who didn\'t want Li Xiaoyao to think she was a woman who relied on a man for a living.

Therefore, she took the charitable activity very seriously. Although charity meant giving money away, in Tang Tiantian\'s eyes, it was a way to reflect her own value in life.

Li Xiaoyao gently picked up Tang Tiantian. As the soft body nestled into his arms, Li Xiaoyao couldn\'t help but be moved.

Li Xiaoyao had slept with many women, but the ones who truly stirred his emotions were very few.

Tang Tiantian was one of them.

She was genuinely exhausted; when Li Xiaoyao placed her on the bed, she felt nothing.

Li Xiaoyao took a quick bath and then sat down to meditate and practice cultivation in his side room.

He felt that his cultivation level was still too low, and he had to accelerate the pace of his cultivation.

However, the spiritual energy on Earth was too sparse; Li Xiaoyao had cultivated for many years and had only reached the fourth level of the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm.

What Li Xiaoyao didn\'t know was that, at his age, to have cultivated to this realm was already considered startling and outrageous.

Most people at his age, if they could successfully reach the most basic Qi-Training Mirror, were already doing quite well.

Li Xiaoyao cultivated for several hours and suddenly opened his eyes, exhaling a milky white breath from his mouth and nose.

"There are many pill medicines in the system; if I could buy some that increase cultivation level, that would be great."

Li Xiaoyao opened the system, and a huge virtual screen appeared out of thin air, visible only to him.

This system was categorized with extreme precision, containing all kinds of weaponry from swords, spears, cudgels, and sticks to modern firearms like pistols, rifles, and machine guns. Even more so, Li Xiaoyao had seen sci-fi weapons such as laser swords and laser guns, which only appeared in movies, listed in the system.

However, these items were ridiculously expensive.

All the spirit stones Li Xiaoyao possessed totaled just over eighty thousand.

A high-tech weapon started at a hundred thousand, so all Li Xiaoyao could do was look on and salivate.

Li Xiaoyao didn\'t focus too much on these unrealistic things; instead, he went directly into the pill medicine section and checked the effects and prices of various medicinal pills.

"Small Nourishing Pill: First Grade pill medicine, solid Nourishing Pill for cultivation, can dispel impurities in the body, clear the meridians, and lay a good foundation for cultivation. Price: 3000 spirit stones."

"Gathering Spirit Pill: First Grade pill medicine, upon ingestion, the user can gather surrounding spiritual energy to oneself for absorption and cultivation within two hours. Price: 3500 spirit stones."

Li Xiaoyao read the descriptions of dozens of pill medicines in one breath; just as he was about to make a purchase, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"Why should I buy the finished products? I can make the pills myself."

Li Xiaoyao continued to search in the system and quickly found a beginner\'s secret manual for alchemists.

"Alchemist Introduction: Suitable for beginners of alchemy, detailed content. Price: 13800 spirit stones."

"Good, I\'ll buy this one." Li Xiaoyao grinned and bought the beginner\'s manual for alchemists without hesitation.

After the purchase, Li Xiaoyao watched his spirit stones decrease by more than ten thousand and felt as though his heart was bleeding.

But it didn\'t matter. Spirit stones, once used up, could always be earned again.

Lately, Li Xiaoyao had also been studying this system. In the past, he thought that the system\'s spirit stones could only be obtained through killing or doing good deeds.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But now, Li Xiaoyao had discovered that it seemed there were other ways to acquire spirit stones.

For example: flirting, fighting, occupying territories…
