Chapter 85: Chapter 82 Angel Envoy_2

“`

“Thank you, Sister Gong.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to give you the gold card, but to get the Universe Gold Card, you must at least be an Advanced Beast Tamer,” Gong Yilan said.

“This time I came not only to see you but also to pick up the items from our last transaction,” Han Yuning said, “Xiaoyu here is a researcher of Exotic Region civilizations; the Inheritance Mystery Stele Inscription and other things can be given to her later on.”

“The area she’s working on precisely involves these things, and the laboratory that bought your stele inscriptions is hers.”

The woman in the back row on the right greeted them openly: “Hello, my name is Ji Xiaoyu.”

Unlike Gong Yilan, who was like a passionate rose,

Ji Xiaoyu, dressed in a white casual suit, wore gold-wire glasses over her fine nose, had phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a constant faint smile on her lips.

“Sister Yu, do the Exotic Region civilization researchers specialise in studying exotic civilizations?”

“Yes.”

“Do the Exotic Regions have the same rankings as here, with Primary, Intermediate, High, and Advanced Beast Tamers?”

“Right, some of the rankings we use also originate from the Exotic Regions.” Ji Xiaoyu became more talkative when the subject came to her expertise.

“Actually, over there they only divide into three major stages: before the Advanced level, the Advanced level and beyond the Advanced level.”

“Beyond the Advanced level is a new realm that has only emerged in recent years.”

“This realm is known as Ascension, also referred to as the Path of Ascension. For the past thousand years, the Exotic Regions were in a godless barren era, but in recent years, the bottleneck’s restraint has been lifted. To use a term from the internet… it’s Divinity Resurgence.”

Chen Xing thought of the Ascension rank he had heard about before, discussed by many netizens online. This realm was always shrouded in mystery, with very little information leaked.

“Sister Yu, since it’s Divinity Resurgence, did gods truly exist in the Exotic Regions? What do gods look like?”

Ji Xiaoyu said, “There are ninety-nine Giant Cities in the Exotic Regions, and each Giant City has shadows of gods from their ancient past. As for what gods look like… there are only some abstract images in murals and ancient texts. To date, no living god has appeared, nor has a new god been born. All the mighty ones are climbing upwards, striving to be the first deity of the new era. So… this is what Ascension is.”

“Ascension is too far in the future for him, why bring that up? Focus on getting your Beast Taming to evolve for the first time, then train a second beast,” Han Yuning said while driving.

Changing the subject, Han Yuning asked, “How much is your beast’s energy level now?”

“Twenty-five energy levels.”

Han Yuning nodded, not surprised but as expected.

At this rate, it probably wouldn’t take half a year to achieve the first evolution.

“Your beast performed well this time, especially the decisive action of dragging the Devil Commander Dog into the water,” Han Yuning said with a smile.

“I remember that there is an ultimate skill called ‘Endless Weak Water Domain’ in the water element, where birds cannot fly over, goose feathers can’t float, even fish would drown.”

“Alright, we’re here.” Han Yuning stopped the car downstairs.

Chen Xing went upstairs to bring down the two items from the transaction.

Ji Xiaoyu was surprised when she took the stele and saw the bag of ancient gold coins Han Yuning had put away. “Ancient gold coins? Are you planning to go to the Golden Metropolis?”

“I’m not going; it’s just for an elder I am helping to collect,” Han Yuning shook his head.

Late in the evening, after dinner at a high-end private restaurant in Jincheng with the four of them, Han Yuning and Ji Xiaoyu returned.

Gong Yilan, however, stayed behind, as it was said to be related to the development of a new Secret Realm.

The recent Secret Realm that appeared in Jincheng was Nightmare Swamp 03.

…

Getting off Gong Yilan’s car and enjoying the cool breeze, Chen Xing was about to go upstairs.

A tall man in a impeccably tailored suit approached from the corner and said, “Young Master Chen, may I have a moment of your time for a chat?”

The man gestured with his hand.

Chen Xing stepped back two paces, surveyed the surroundings, his hand in his pocket unlocking his phone, ready to call Gong Yilan.

“No need to call Miss Gong of the Gong family; I mean no harm.” The man smiled slightly, “Perhaps you’ve heard of me from your sister. Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Wan, my name is Wan Hailong.”

The Principal Wan from his sister’s stories?

“`

Chen Xing’s thoughts flickered slightly.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I have no ill will in coming to see you, only to represent the Apostle Organization and invite you to join,” Wan Hailong said, his right hand on his left chest like an elegant knight.

So the force that sister joined is called the Apostle Organization.

Chen Xing half-jokingly said, “Will I be silenced if I don’t join?”

Wan Hailong chuckled, “Your sister asked the same question. The Apostle Organization is not some shady underground force, just an organization formed by a group of like-minded people. Those who are willing to join are naturally our comrades, and those who aren’t simply aren’t fated to. If we were to silence people just for not joining, that would be rather small-minded.”

“Our Apostle Organization is inclusive of all, with members all over the world, in every field of work, and even from the Exotic Regions. We do not belong to any country or force; we simply seek outstanding individuals to join us from all around the world.”

“I’m sorry, Principal Wan, but I currently have no intention of joining any forces. If one day in the future I do, I will contact you,” Chen Xing tactfully declined Wan Hailong’s offer.

Wan Hailong felt a bit of regret but did not press Chen Xing.

He knew he had missed the best stage to invest, yet after seeing Chen Xing’s impressive performance on TV, he couldn’t help but come to extend an invitation.

The outcome was also… as expected.

“Well then, I’ve disturbed you, little friend Chen.”

Having said that, Wan Hailong disappeared on the spot like a bursting bubble illusion.

The figure that had appeared before him seemed to have been just a projection.

“Quack~”

On a not too distant rooftop, a crow took flight into the night.

Hearing the sound of wings flapping, Chen Xing looked in the direction of the crow, his gaze sharpening.

[Species] Thousand Illusion Demon Crow

[Attributes] Illusion, Death

[Power Level] 98

[Power Level Cap] 100+

[Skills]

Primary Skills: Claw of Ruin (Perfect), Sharp Noise (Master), Magic Sensing (Master), Mind Communication (Master)…

Intermediate Skills: Phasing (Perfect), Soul-capturing Fear (Master), Magic Flame Waterfall (Master)…

Advanced Skills: Far-seeing Eyes (Master), Descent to the Netherworld (Master)

Innate Skill: Illusory Doppelganger (Perfect)

Illusion? Doppelganger?

He had originally thought that it was Wan Hailong himself who controlled the secret technique, but now it seemed it might just be the Beast Tamer’s ability.

Who would have thought Principal Wan would be quite the dark horse…

His reason for refusing Wan Hailong was simple. If it had been right after he first acquired the Golden Finger when he was in desperate need of money, he might have joined, as he had no money, connections, or strength at that time.

Now, he had accumulated a certain amount of capital and connections.

It would be unwise to hastily join a force with unclear intentions.

Besides, Chen Xing always believed in one thing—power is the foundation!

If the Apostle Organization were likened to a company, and HR invited you to start from the bottom and slowly work your way up, how exhausting that would be.

It would be better to amass a huge amount of capital, become a powerful financier, and then take a strong stake in the company. Chen Xing believed he could nurture Taotie into a true “big shot”!

After all, his sister had already infiltrated their ranks, a mole within the organization.

He would wait until his sister learned more about the Apostle Organization before making any plans.

Moreover, Chen Xing felt that recruiting members should come with rewards, or else why would Wan Hailong be so proactive?

Instead of letting him benefit, it would be better to let his sister reap the rewards in the future.
