For Jiang Tian Zheng, only those who have taken the Loyalty Pill are eligible to be included as members of the family's outer clan.
The badges bestowed, though seemingly physical objects, become like tattoos or markings on their shoulders upon acceptance.
Each badge is a fragment of the main badge.
This connection is the reason they are recognized by the family system as clan members.
Furthermore, badge holders receive a monthly system cleansing opportunity.
This cleansing strengthens the body. The higher the main badge's level, the better the effect of the cleansing.
“Right, my main badge should have leveled up.”
Jiang Tian Zheng's heart stirred, a realization dawning.
The family is now classified as E-level, meaning the family badge should have unlocked its second ability.
【Family Badge: Main Badge E-Level】
【1. Mastery of all family members' skills.】
【2. Resurrection (Refreshes on the 1st of every month)】
【3. Unknown, Insufficient Level, Unlocked at D-level.】
【4. …】
【…】
【9. Unknown, Insufficient Level, Unlocked at SSS-level.】
【Note: Requires Binding of Resurrection Location. This location cannot be changed afterwards.】
As Jiang Tian Zheng expected, the family badge had indeed leveled up, from F-level to E-level.
The badge's second ability, the E-level attribute, had also appeared.
“Resurrection?”
Jiang Tian Zheng's heart pounded upon seeing the second attribute.
“System, tell me, what does this resurrection mean?”
Jiang Tian Zheng asked, unsure.
【As the家主 thinks.】
The system answered Jiang Tian Zheng briefly.
“Resurrection, it's truly resurrection.”
Jiang Tian Zheng burst into laughter. With this, his safety would be even more secure.
Furthermore, a resurrection opportunity is refreshed every month.
The only pity is that the opportunities cannot be accumulated. Otherwise, it would be even more awesome.
“Bind resurrection location.”
Jiang Tian Zheng pondered, the location must be a safe place.
Binding the location activates and enables resurrection.
“Bind at home.”
After careful consideration, Jiang Tian Zheng decided to bind at his home.
Although home may not be absolutely safe.
For now, Jiang Tian Zheng had no other choice. No other place was as safe as home.
At worst, he would just have to increase security around the villa.
“Looks like I'll have to strengthen the villa's security.”
Jiang Tian Zheng thought, his gaze drifting towards Lion Mountain behind the villa.
Purchasing a piece of land on Lion Mountain would significantly bolster the villa's security.
“So, I need to make money first.”
With Jiang Tian Zheng's current assets, he couldn't afford anything.
…
Over the next few days, Jiang Tian Zheng quietly established a telecommunications company, Tian Zheng Telecom.
Then, he began poaching talent, recruiting from various countries worldwide, including Hong Kong Telephone Company.
“Mr. Jiang, I know someone who's quite knowledgeable about electronics. He even studied abroad.” Liang Kun approached Jiang Tian Zheng and said.
“Oh? What's his name, and where does he work?” Jiang Tian Zheng's eyes lit up as he looked at Liang Kun.
If this had been before, Jiang Tian Zheng would have been wary, concerned whether Liang Kun was trying to deceive him.
However, now that Liang Kun was a member of the Jiang family's outer clan, there was no need to worry about that.
“This person is called Lin Hua Hui. He lives in a tenement building in Mong Kok. I heard he studied electronics abroad…”
Liang Kun paused, then hesitantly said, “However, he's not doing very well now. He owes a lot of money to loan sharks.”
“Take me to see him.”
Jiang Tian Zheng thought for a moment and told Liang Kun.
Truthfully, Jiang Tian Zheng knew nothing about electronics, so he desperately needed a professional.
As for whether Lin Hua Hui actually had talent, he would know once he saw him.
The system could fully assess the person's ability value.
“Yes, Mr. Jiang.”
Liang Kun took Jiang Tian Sheng to find Lin Hua Hui quickly.
However, Jiang Tian Sheng didn't go to meet him. Instead, he instructed the system to evaluate the man's ability value.
If the value was too low, Jiang Tian Zheng had no time to see him.
【Lin Hua Hui, Ability Value S-】
The system quickly provided an evaluation.
“S-, this score is not bad.” Jiang Tian Zheng's eyes brightened.
While this level of ability wasn't top-tier, it was sufficient.
“Go, invite him over.”
Jiang Tian Zheng got into the car and instructed Liang Kun.
“Yes, Mr. Jiang.”
Liang Kun nodded and went over.
“This car is still too small.”
Jiang Tian Sheng was somewhat dissatisfied with his current ride. Although it was a Rolls-Royce, it was just a standard model.
“Forget it. I'm broke now. I'll have to customize a stretched, luxury version when I have money.” Jiang Tian Zheng shook his head slightly.
The driver was Zhen Gang, who had been protecting Jiang Tian Zheng all along.
Until he found someone he absolutely trusted, he wouldn't trust outsiders to be his driver.
While Zhen Gang wasn't from this world.
Driving wasn't difficult. He learned how to do it after only a few lessons.
“Mr. Jiang, Lin Hua Hui is here.”
A few minutes later, Liang Kun came with Lin Hua Hui, lightly tapping on the car window.
“Let him in.”
Jiang Tian Zheng rolled down the window, gave Liang Kun an instruction, then rolled it back up.
“Yes, Mr. Jiang.”
Liang Kun responded, then led Lin Hua Hui to the other side, opened the door and invited him in.
After closing the door, Liang Kun stood by the car, watching outside.
He knew he wasn't qualified to sit inside.
