Chapter Seventeen: Spatial Upgrade

  Guo Yu is actually a relatively simple person, his plans are just the next few steps ahead, he thinks that life is good now, so he will stop and enjoy it. He doesn't want to be busy all the time, only to find that he can't see the scenery along the way.

  Hu Yunwen poured bath water for Guo Yu, and the two of them soaked in the large bathtub. Guo Yu leaned against the edge of the bathtub, and Xiaoyun gently wiped his body with a towel. The two points on her chest occasionally lightly brushed against Guo Yu's skin. Guo Yu enjoyed it while checking his own merit points, thinking that this was his true nature.

  The current merit points have already reached 27 million, and in half a year's time, it can be said that progress is neither fast nor slow. I am very satisfied with my achievements and can upgrade now, which means I must spend them. Upgrading to the fourth-level space, reaching a diameter of 10,000 meters, is really huge, enough for Gu Yu's current use, as long as he doesn't want to package small planets.

  My body has been strengthened to the fourth level, my height of 1.8 meters is sufficient, my physical strength has become even more abnormal, my muscles are strong and beautiful but not bloated, I can burst out with over a thousand kilograms of force, one punch can instantly kill a heavyweight boxing champion, running faster than Superman is no problem. Even if I'm shot by a handgun, the bullet will get stuck in my muscles, ordinary knives and swords can't hurt me either, this skin is like a bulletproof vest.

  There are still over 7 million merit points, and Guo Yu has given himself an additional ten years of life expectancy, but he still doesn't feel any changes. After a round of spending, the merit points were left with only over 3 million, and the next upgrade will be in the tens of millions level, which will take a long time.

  If I were in modern times, I really don't know if I could collect so many merit and virtue points. Fortunately, this is the Republic of China, the most difficult time for the Chinese nation, with 50 million dead and hundreds of millions of suffering people. I want to bring happiness to you all, and I will also gain merit myself. As the advertisement says, only when everyone is good can it be truly good.

  After the upgrade, Guo Yu discovered a side effect, which was that Ai Ai's time had significantly increased, and the women were already overwhelmed. He himself still couldn't keep up, which was also a headache. Alright, thinking unashamedly for Xiaoyun's sake, he called over Lisa, the maid, and the three of them washed together, fighting in the bathtub until dawn.

  Getting up early to practice boxing, it takes only a few days for the body to adapt after upgrading. Al arrived early and stood by watching Gu Yu practice boxing.

  After finishing his boxing practice, Guo Yu took the towel handed over by the maid and wiped his face, calling out to Al to go have breakfast together.

  "Al, why are you here so early today?" asked Guo Yu, who was having breakfast and drinking tea.

  "Boss, yesterday government people came to the estate and asked us to explain the reason for gathering a large number of Chinese workers. Because of the existence of the Exclusion Act, the federal government has concerns about the large gathering of Chinese people, fearing it will harm local residents and also take away their job opportunities." Al said his purpose.

  "Al, how many people do we have now?" Gu Yu furrowed his brow.

  "Over 10,000 people have already signed up, with fewer than 2,000 in Quaker City and nearly 9,000 in Orange County. According to the boss's idea, we need at least 15,000 people to meet our most basic production requirements." Al rattled off the numbers.

  "What does the government want? Tell me."

  "The government hopes not to gather more than 10,000 people and increase labor posts for local residents."

  "They're always discriminating against the Chinese, and now it's affecting me too, damn it." Guo Yu's good mood over the past two days suddenly disappeared. It's all because of the country's weakness, even hiring workers is restricted. You say that America discriminates against the Chinese, after the Western Railway was completed, they just sent people back, a typical case of using people and then discarding them without any regard for morality. They would casually put people on ships and send them away, claiming it was deportation, but who knows where they actually sent those people to.

  "Boss, we've discovered a situation that needs to be reported to you. Recently, some Los Angeles gang members have been lurking around our estate, I'm afraid they're eyeing us."

  "Damn it, even the small fries of the gang are bullying me." Gu Yu stood up in anger and cursed.

  After Al left, Guo Yu sat in the study, lit a cigarette. Guo Yu would smoke but not often, and this cigarette was still brought from modern times to space.

  I still underestimated the discrimination of white people against Chinese. Even if I am a millionaire, white people will still treat me as a second-class citizen. I made some money, but it was very lucky because I used my skills to deceive little John Rockefeller. If not for these reasons, whether I can develop to this point is really hard to say.

  It seems that I have to think about how to go on in the future, after all, my own path is still in the East.

  The next day, he informed Al of his decision and asked him to give some benefits to those officials, fool them into thinking that the number of people was no longer increasing. Then he called Da Zhuang and told him that there were gangsters attacking the manor, asking him to increase the guard team to 1,000 people, intensify training, strive to achieve combat effectiveness as soon as possible, respond to sudden events, and strengthen patrol efforts in peacetime.

  After arranging everything, Guo Yu found that he was a bit too impulsive yesterday. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but he had been thinking wildly and his heart wasn't calm enough. Since he crossed over, although he has been careful, things have always gone smoothly and he hasn't encountered any major problems. This time, encountering these small issues made him restless, so how will he face bigger challenges in the future?

  One's own merits and virtues need to be accumulated, and naturally the scope of one's affairs will expand, and later on, more problems will arise. This time can serve as a lesson, allowing one to take problems seriously but not be intimidated by them.

  Now Chen Yougong is doing well domestically, everything is developing steadily. His own farm has also entered the right track. Guo Yu brought bodyguards to ride horses and stroll around the farm, slowly walking to Huafu Academy, a wooden structure with classrooms, some students reading books by themselves, others having teachers lecturing.

  The learning at Huafu Academy is still mainly self-study, after all, each student is an employee, and they are either working or on guard duty with the security team, so their time is not fixed. However, there are always a few classrooms where teachers give lessons, you can go listen to class, or not, here there are no exams or attendance checks, the only requirement is to master Guo Yu's Huafu teachings, what a shameless person.

  In the doctrine, Guo Yu portrays himself as a divine envoy sent to relieve the suffering of the people. The people call out his name, will gain strength, get psychological comfort, and eliminate their own sufferings.

  This god has no name, as long as you call out to Gu Yu's name, think of him in your mind and worship him, you can communicate with the god. This god is a virtual title, it is the general term for all gods.

  But Guo Yu also requires at the same time, people can respect him, worship him, but when seeing him, everyone must be calm and peaceful, do not shout, do not kneel down, because God loves them, yes love 'them'.

  This thing isn't afraid that you won't believe it, but rather that you won't learn from it. The meaning will reveal itself after reading a book a hundred times, haha, actually it's just brainwashing. Guo Yu has also read self-help books, didn't like them but can use some of the ideas.

  After taking a look around the school, Guo Yu rode his horse to the playground, where many employees and guards were training. He stopped his horse at the edge of the playground and walked up to the edge of the formation, watching the trainees with great satisfaction. When he saw someone standing in an improper posture, he even went forward to correct them.

  Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the target range at the edge of the playground. The team members looked over and Guo Yu knew something was wrong, so he quickly took his bodyguards to check out the situation.

  As I approached and pushed through the crowd, I saw a 17- or 18-year-old boy lying on the ground, with blood gushing out of his chest.

  The boy's eyes gradually lost their focus, and another boy beside him kept shouting his name loudly, hoping to pull him back to the world of the living.

  "This is what happened." Guo Yu quickly stepped forward and examined the bleeding boy's condition.

  Next to him, a team officer quickly said, "We were training for target practice, his gun misfired and hit Zhou Wu." He pointed at the shouting teenager.

  The bullet hit his chest, it's unclear if it struck the heart, but judging from the situation, it doesn't look good, as within just a few minutes, the boy was on the verge of collapse.

  Guo Yu directly tore open the boy's blood-stained clothes, revealing a chest without any pectoral muscles, and stretched out his hand to cover the bleeding bullet hole.

  He closed his eyes and slowly mobilized the power of Gong De, this was his second time treating an illness and saving someone. This time it was much more severe than Old Rockefeller's illness last time, he didn't know if he could succeed.

  At this time, no one around dared to make a sound, and they all stared blankly at the hand placed on the bullet hole.
