In fact, not everyone is struggling terribly; there are many who are doing quite well, such as some of the superpowered individuals within the System.
Compared to Liu Yi, who can barely be described as having a 'free life', the superpowered individuals in the System are significantly stronger in every aspect, especially those from the Huaxia HK Branch.
Although joining a special department means being shackled by certain constraints, at least they no longer have to live in fear of being assassinated or captured for experiments at any moment.
Watching Liu Yi sighing dejectedly nearby, Ye Kai felt a twinge of sorrow himself.
Just a moment ago, he might have been tempted to slap him down, but now, inexplicably, he felt a bit of pity and softness in his heart.
However, he didn’t directly invite Liu Yi to stay by his side; after all, he wasn’t from this Dimension. No matter how kind-hearted one might be, there are limits, and he certainly hadn’t reached the level of a saint.
One moment they were fighting fiercely; the next moment, they were supposed to be good brothers. Was that even possible?
“Hey!”
Suddenly, Ye Kai remembered something. Since he could find an agent in the real world, he could also find three protagonists in the "Superpower Out of Control" Dimension to serve as agents. So why couldn’t this guy do the same?
He looked over this seemingly 'noble' young man again. Not only did he have a handsome appearance, but his height and physique were also quite remarkable. It seemed that as long as he didn’t go berserk, he was actually not bad!
Liu Yi suddenly shivered for no apparent reason; it had been many years since he had felt this way!
Even when he had fled to Antarctica years ago to avoid disaster and lived among penguins, it hadn’t felt like this!
However, when he saw Ye Kai stroking his chin and smiling at him with that silver grin, he instantly felt a tightening sensation and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Do you want to escape from your dark life?”
"Do you want to live a normal life, where you can go to bars anytime, flirt with girls, and travel wherever you wish?"
"Do you want to never have to live in fear again, where you don't have to risk your life just to earn a little commission?"
"Do you want to..."
Ye Kai had no idea that his expression and tone were reminiscent of the wolf in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. If a tail had sprouted from his back, he would have perfectly resembled a demon.
A series of "do you wants" left Liu Yi utterly bewildered.
He looked at his opponent with suspicion, even questioning whether this guy had bumped his head on the doorframe after getting out of bed.
"What do you want to do?"
Liu Yi took a few cautious steps back, defensively saying, "What I want is my business. What exactly do you want?"
It was nonsense to say he didn't want that kind of life.
However, after countless experiences dancing on the edge of life and death, he understood that if one wanted to gain something, they must pay the corresponding price.
And sometimes, the price paid might not yield the desired result; it could lead to unbearable pain!
Ye Kai opened his right hand, revealing a cube that resembled a Rubik's Cube, but this one was slightly more sci-fi in appearance, entirely silver: "As long as you agree to one condition of mine, then everything I just mentioned will be almost within your grasp."
Liu Yi wasn't foolish. Although he didn't know what the condition was, he wouldn't easily agree to anything. So he stepped back again: "You first tell me what exactly you want me to do."
"Hey hey!"
Instinctively chuckling, Ye Kai looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand. "Activate coordinates, Three-Dimensional Projection scaling function initiated, target: a radius of one hundred meters centered on me."
"Zii..."
After a faint electromagnetic noise, the Rubik's Cube began to transform. In just five seconds, it had morphed into a metal plate with edges measuring zero centimeters.
The moment the metal plate fully formed, Three-Dimensional Projections began to appear on its surface.
Everything within a hundred-meter radius of Ye Kai sprang to life on the plate, each detail vividly rendered. Liu Yi stared in astonishment, nearly doubting his own eyes.
When did our Chinese technology reach such a level? This was simply too...
As for what it was too much of, he felt dizzy and couldn't find the right word to describe it; he only knew he was utterly shocked.
"How about that? It's powerful, right?"
Seeing Liu Yi dumbfounded by the spectacle before him, Ye Kai felt a surge of joy and continued to entice him. "Of course! This is just one of its many functions. But if you agree to help me, you can definitely have this standard configuration."
"Help you?"
Although Liu Yi was stunned by this high-tech display for a while, he was a seasoned warrior who had experienced many life-and-death battles and would not easily agree to anything.
"Absolutely!"
Ye Kai suddenly revealed a confident smile and said, "You can't run away now. Even if you can dodge today, can you really avoid the fifteenth? Let me tell you the truth: there's an Artificial Satellite hovering above you at all times, along with several Multifunctional Detectors keeping an eye on you. Don't even think about escaping."
"Well, whether I agree or not, it seems like I have no choice but to agree?" Liu Yi twirled the dagger in his hand with a few difficult maneuvers, seemingly indifferent.
"You might want to take a look behind you!" Ye Kai stretched out his left hand and pretended to flick his sleeve, then lifted his head to reveal a broad smile.
"Uh!"
Liu Yi felt a headache coming on. He hadn't expected that the person trying to recruit him would have other helpers around, and the presence behind him was even more formidable. He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, "So, I really have no choice?!"
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow, noticing Liu Yi's lingering defiance in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He knew it would come to this!
Dealing with someone who often walked the line between life and death, relying on his not-yet-fully developed persuasive skills probably wouldn't be very effective!
But unexpectedly, even though this guy had already shown signs of resignation, he still wanted to test the waters once more!
After all, he considered himself an experienced Mercenary. They believed in the principle of might makes right. Even though he had faced tough times in the past, he wasn't planning to easily join any faction and become just another subordinate!
"I advise you not to think too much; my patience is quite limited, and you should already be aware of that!"
Ye Kai smirked and glanced at Liu Yi's serious expression before speaking in a calm tone, "I'll give you one last minute. If you don't agree, then I'll have no choice but to use all possible means to launch a comprehensive attack on you until you're reduced to ashes."
Then he turned to Ye Yi and asked, "What about the one who just ran away?"
"Young Master, that guy just jumped into the sewer to escape. I couldn't catch up," Ye Yi said with a hint of frustration.
"Hmph!"
Ye Kai frowned slightly, feeling a bit impatient. He asked forcefully, "You have zero seconds left; you'd better make a choice quickly, or I don't know if I'll kill you the moment time runs out."
Although he had some suspicions about the person who escaped—one was undoubtedly the bespectacled security guard from the movie, and the other was that mysterious old lady—he knew that whether it was one of them or not, this place would soon become unsafe. It could very well turn into a battlefield.
The combat scene that originally appeared at the end might very well kick off earlier that night!
"Do I have any other choice?"
Liu Yi cursed inwardly. He had already fought two battles in succession, and now faced another powerful opponent. If he didn't agree, he feared he would meet his end right there.
Clang!
As the two daggers hit the ground, he felt a sense of relief wash over him. After all, he was still young and didn't want to die without understanding why.
Moreover, if his formidable Boss truly possessed so many high-tech means, he might find himself unable to escape at all!
