“Qin Chen, you are being too reckless.”
True Word Earth Venerable continued to ramble on.
There was no choice; his little heart simply couldn’t take it.
“Hehe, True Word Earth Venerable, no need to say more, I have my own plans,” Qin Chen smiled and said, “Didn’t you notice your disciple doesn’t have any objections?”
Upon hearing this, Venerable Radiant Light had a bitter expression on his face.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have an opinion, but rather that he didn’t dare to voice one. After all, his current status could be considered the lowest. How could he have the qualification to give opinions?
Even if he had the right to suggest something, he wouldn’t advise against it. Compared to his master, True Word Earth Venerable, he had spent more time with Qin Chen and had a better understanding of him.
Qin Chen was a person with strong opinions, never acting without purpose. Back in the Palace of the Vast Cold, he had emerged from a small region, established the Chen Di Pavilion, and ultimately made his way into the domain of the Palace of the Vast Cold, rising all the way through well-calculated moves.
This included later going to the Southern Heavenly Realm, unifying it, and destroying the Yao Mie Mansion. Each of Qin Chen's actions had surprised Venerable Radiant Light.
In his eyes, even though Qin Chen’s current actions shocked him greatly, he believed there must be a purpose behind it. Regardless, all he needed to do was support Qin Chen.
True Word Earth Venerable knocked Venerable Radiant Light on the head in frustration, “You blockhead, say something!”
“Master, don’t bother. You can’t persuade Qin Chen.”
Venerable Radiant Light replied helplessly, “Besides, Qin Chen must have his own reasons for doing this.”
“Reasons? I know he has his reasons; he wants to earn more contribution points and acquire more resources. But letting some stewards and elders challenge is enough. Inviting those half-step heaven venerables to challenge too…” True Word Earth Venerable grew more anxious as he spoke.
“Do you know the strength of those half-step heaven venerables in the Headquarters Secret Realm?
What if he loses one? That would cost him ten million contribution points. Even if he wins against a hundred elders, losing to one half-step heaven venerable would wipe out the gains. Isn’t that pointless?”
“What I mean is, first challenge the stewards and elders. This way, he can minimize losses and maximize wins, ensuring he earns a fortune. Then, depending on the situation, he can decide whether to challenge half-step heaven venerables. If he doesn’t feel confident, he can just close the challenge channel. Isn’t that an easy way to earn a large sum?”
“But if Qin Chen goes on like this, I’m afraid that if too many half-step heaven venerables get the news and come to collect easy money, Qin Chen might end up losing even the previous thirteen million contribution points. That would be a huge loss; earning that much is not easy.”
True Word Earth Venerable was heartbroken and increasingly anxious, as if the losses were his own.
Venerable Radiant Light stared at his master in disbelief.
He had always thought his master was trying to dissuade Qin Chen out of fear that he would offend too many stewards and elders in the Heavenly Work. It turned out that he was worried about Qin Chen losing contribution points!
“Wait!”
Seeing that True Word Earth Venerable wanted to say more, Qin Chen suddenly raised his hand, as he felt that his identity token had already received a lot of information.
“There’s an invitation for battle; let me see how many there are.”
Qin Chen took out his identity token and sensed the incoming messages.
Beside him, True Word Earth Venerable and Venerable Radiant Light widened their eyes, clenching their fists, even more tense than Qin Chen himself.
“Hmm?”
Qin Chen’s eyes widened.
The challenge invitations were pouring in. This identity token was not just Qin Chen’s acting vice hall master token; it was also a communication treasure. As long as Qin Chen opened the permissions, anyone in the Headquarters Secret Realm could communicate and exchange messages with him directly through the identity token, including but not limited to battle invitations, trades, and more.
