Chapter 499 Failure is also a joy
Li Qin lifted the curse on Yi Zhonghai not out of kindness, nor because he couldn't bear to see Yi Zhonghai suffer.
On the contrary, if the time and place were different, Li Qin would be happy to watch Yi Zhonghai suffer.
However, the occasion was inappropriate, so he had no choice but to help Yi Zhonghai break the curse.
Otherwise, if Yi Zhonghai were to reveal the abnormality in his body later, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Now that the curse has been lifted and no traces have been left on his body, no one will believe Yi Zhonghai even if he speaks.
They would only assume that Yi Zhonghai was making excuses because he failed the assessment.
Having dealt with Yi Zhonghai, Li Qin turned to look at Liu Haizhong.
From afar, he could see that Liu Haizhong's face was equally grim, with obvious disappointment, regret, and confusion in his eyes.
Li Qin didn't need to look closely to know that the final product Liu Haizhong made would definitely not meet the standards.
Li Qin nodded in satisfaction.
However, to prevent leaving any loopholes, Li Qin also removed the transformation spell he had placed on those iron hammers.
This left Liu Haizhong with no excuse.
"Although it's now basically certain that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong won't pass the Level 7 assessment, let's wait for the results before leaving to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."
Li Qin originally planned to leave directly and then find a place to enter the suitcase space to prepare lunch.
But after thinking about it, he still wanted to wait until the final results were announced before leaving.
Since we've already wasted so much time, we don't mind waiting a little longer.
This was a Level 7 assessment, and the engineers were even more meticulous in their testing.
As the tests came one by one, some people passed the assessment, while others failed.
Li Qin noticed that those who passed were all people he had previously considered to be very skilled, while those who failed were those whose skills were relatively weaker.
Soon it will be time to test Yi Zhonghai's results.
The engineers were all very experienced; just by looking at them, they had a general idea of what they were capable of.
However, to prevent any misreading, they still very professionally began taking measurements.
One after another;
When the last engineer finished taking measurements, the engineers immediately huddled together and discussed the matter in hushed tones.
The last person stepped forward to announce the result: "The workpiece is substandard; the Level 7 assessment is not passed!"
Although he had already guessed it, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't help but show disappointment and regret when he actually heard these words.
In contrast, Li Qin smiled.
Another person also smiled, and that was Liu Haizhong, who was not far away.
When the engineer was inspecting the workpiece made by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong was very nervous, even more so than Yi Zhonghai himself.
This is mainly because Liu Haizhong himself knows his own situation; he has almost no chance of passing the Level 7 assessment this time.
If Yi Zhonghai passes, he will be in the limelight, while the other will be overshadowed.
Most importantly, the two of them lived in the same courtyard house. Yi Zhonghai was the eldest uncle, while he was the second eldest uncle, already having a higher status than him.
He found it hard to accept being outdone at work.
Fortunately, the final result he heard was that Yi Zhonghai had not passed the assessment, so the two of them were in the same position at work, both at level six.
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong's mood immediately improved a lot.
Even when the engineers inspected the workpiece he made and announced that it had failed the assessment, Liu Haizhong did not show much disappointment or sadness on his face.
He remained remarkably calm.
This surprised several engineers involved in the testing.
However, he didn't think much of it and just assumed that Liu Haizhong was easygoing.
After hearing the engineer announce that Liu Haizhong had also failed the Level 7 assessment, Li Qin did not linger any longer.
After all, his main purpose in coming here was to interrupt the two people's promotion, which has now been completed, and it's almost lunchtime.
Li Qin certainly wouldn't just go hungry here.
As for Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, who failed the assessment, Li Qin no longer cared.
As he used the Apparition spell, Li Qin instantly left the assessment area and appeared in the secret chamber beneath the courtyard house.
Originally, using Apparition was accompanied by a crisp crackling sound.
Even with Li Qin's powerful talent for time and space, he still couldn't completely avoid this.
However, because he had cast many spells on himself, the sound he made did not travel out, so no one noticed anything unusual.
Back in the secret room, Li Qin first lifted the spell on his body, and then flashed into the leather suitcase space.
With his accommodation in Hong Kong settled, Li Qin now enters the suitcase space less and less often.
If it weren't for the need to prevent the "bad guys" imprisoned in the suitcase from dying unexpectedly, he wouldn't even come in for many days at a time.
Upon entering the space, Li Qin first used a spell to activate the kitchen to prepare lunch, and then leisurely went to the "cell" where a group of prisoners were held.
Li Qin no longer expects these people to provide emotional power. After all, there are only so many people, and even if they are constantly stimulated, the amount of emotional power they provide will be limited.
Previously, when Li Qin's emotional power reserves were low and his sources of emotional power were limited, he naturally cared about the emotional power provided by these people.
But the situation has changed now.
The emotional power provided by these few dozen people is a drop in the ocean compared to the emotional power harvested daily through novels.
That is why Li Qin no longer tortures these prisoners.
It's simply about imprisoning these people here.
As for why Li Qin didn't release these people, it wasn't just because they weren't good people, but also because Li Qin needed test subjects.
Whether it's cultivating or developing spells, these people are excellent test subjects.
It was precisely because of these experimental subjects that Li Qin was able to successfully optimize and upgrade some of the minor curses passed down through generations, thanks to his accumulated magical knowledge.
After checking on the condition of these people and confirming that there would be no problems in the short term, Li Qin left the cell and returned to the living room.
After pouring himself another cup of tea, Li Qin leisurely savored it.
"This move ensured that Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were at the same employee level, so that they could compete against each other in the courtyard."
This will effectively reduce the chances of them causing me trouble, and I can live a more relaxed life.
Li Qin thought to himself.
After all, Liu Haizhong's ambition for officialdom was incurable, and Yi Zhonghai also wanted to turn the courtyard into his own personal fiefdom.
Thus, the two will inevitably fight for control of the courtyard house.
Although Liu Haizhong was a bit foolish, he certainly had no problem diverting Yi Zhonghai's attention.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai now has a fixed person to support him in his old age, and He Yuzhu is also a backup option.
This should reduce a lot of things.
With fewer troubles at the courtyard house, Li Qin can spend more of his time and attention on Hong Kong outside of work.
The development in Hong Kong is proceeding as planned.
