Chapter 828: List of all parties, the beginning of the competition (5600)

“Conquest and abduction?”

Hearing this, An Jing laughed dumbly: “Conquer. I can do this. I am confident that I can convince everyone – but how can I talk about kidnapping?”

“They are all young masters of aristocratic families, heirs of companies, either landlords or descendants of local tyrants in safe zones. How can I abduct them?”

An Jing thought that he was indeed good-looking and had a good temperament, but that he definitely had nothing to do with using charm to seduce.

But Nianquan shook his head, his eyes flashing with intelligence. While transmitting information to An Jing, he said, “I think young people are actually different. Compared with their parents, they have more possibilities.”

“An Jing, I think we are the only ones who are confused, uneasy and dissatisfied with the situation in this world?”

An Jing shook his head. He understood what Nianquan meant: “I’m not that arrogant. As long as there are people suffering in this world, there will definitely be people who reflect on it – even if they themselves are not suffering, empathy will make them start thinking. This is the nature of human nature.”

“Yes.”

Nian Quan nodded, and he showed An Jing a series of names: “Recently, Huo Qing has been practicing, studying formations and martial arts, and you have also been working hard in your hometown. Naturally, I have not slacked off either. In addition to practicing, I have also used the resources and platform of No. 3 Middle School to contact many people from aristocratic families and large companies.”

“School is indeed a very good platform. If I leave school, even with my talent, I will never be able to meet them. But in school, I am a star. As long as I show my attention, they will be very interested and even feel recognized by me and actively communicate with me.”

Speaking of charm, Nianquan is the type that is more friendly and easier to be pursued and admired. An Jing has no doubt about this, but listens quietly while reading the list sent by Nianquan.

There were many names on the list, all of them were talented children of various aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, companies, and even large gangs. Among them, Yan Chengju’s name was the first one.

“Do you think these young people, such as Yan Chengju, are really bad?”

Although he was a competitor in the previous competition, and the opponent used unfair and even despicable means, Nianquan did not care. Instead, he recognized Yan Chengju’s character: “What he did was actually justified in the environment he grew up in. After he got to know us, he did not show much of the ‘naughtiness’ of a child from an aristocratic family.”

“On the contrary, he even took the initiative to remind us that someone would attack us, didn’t he? An Jing, if you ask me, it wasn’t that he was impulsive and wanted to ‘gamble’, but that he was vaguely attracted to us during his time with us.”

If someone else said this, it would seem a bit narcissistic, but Nianquan’s words were very frank, and An Jing nodded: “Now that you put it that way, it’s true. But what attracted him to it? I didn’t reveal our purpose and philosophy to him, right?”

“He’s not stupid. From his perspective, he can see that we are going to set up a ‘new company’ ourselves, intending to create a new situation in this lifeless Xuanye City.”

Nianquan said, “Think about it. We three young people opened a shop and used the resources of the academy to grow ourselves, but we never attached ourselves to any big company. We even took the initiative to fight against the direct departments of the group such as Shengzhi Medical. In the eyes of the locals of Xuanye City, this is obviously a sign of the rise of a new force. The only question is whether this sign will come true or be extinguished.”

“Yan Chengju believes that we will succeed. He believes in your strength and background. He believes in my vision and his own judgment, so he wants to join as soon as possible. In this way… he can buy shares early and build his own business in the future without relying on the family.”

“His awareness is not high, he just wants to join a new organization with potential as soon as possible and do something big in the future. But others may not think so. As long as there are people who reflect on the way things are, there will definitely be people who want to resist. Just like you, An Jing, who can be at ease as a superior person, but are unwilling to go along with the crowd, there are definitely other people in this world who think the same way. It’s definitely not just us. It’s just that they are not strong enough and haven’t figured it out yet, so they can’t speak out and resist.”

An Jing was silent for a while, then laughed: “Yes, I actually forgot… those confident and ambitious young people are the ones who don’t like to be bound by their families and like to start their own business.”

And…if you think about it carefully, there are many people in history who chose to betray their own class because they were too smart and saw through the truth of the world.

A class cannot betray itself, but individuals can.

It can even be said that there are a lot.

This is probably what Nianquan meant – as long as he can demonstrate strong enough strength, a clear enough slogan, and a great enough goal, then those who agree with this goal, the new generation who are still passionate because of their youth and have not been wiped out, may secretly choose to join him and assist him.

It sounds outrageous, but it is feasible in practice.

“So, who do you think has the potential to be won over?”

An Jing said, and Nian Quan laughed: “It’s at the back of the list.”

In fact, before he said this, he was a little worried that An Jing would suspect that he was being corrupted by big companies and big forces, and that he was speaking for the younger generation of these big forces. But now it seems that An Jing understands the significance of all this more clearly than he thought.

The vast majority of talents are on the side of aristocratic families and companies, because the talents among ordinary people and the poor have not yet been cultivated. Therefore, while cultivating them, we must also pull the enemy’s talents to become our own people, turn some of them into friends, weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves. This is the correct choice.

Not to mention…

Nianquan lowered his eyes, secretly wanting to laugh in his heart: “My mother loves me, which makes me think that all family relationships in this world are like this… But after getting to know more families, such as Huo Qing, I can only be glad that my childhood was happy.”

“As for the others…haha, in this world, even the richest and most resourceful families will have family problems, and they may even be more unsolvable and more intense.”

An Jing, who has both parents and a good master and many fellow apprentices in his previous life, has never thought about this aspect. At this moment, he is carefully reading the list collected by Nianquan.

Among them, the names of the first few were particularly familiar to him.

Because, that was the young prodigy that netizens in the spiritual network used to compare with themselves in beast fighting!

“The first one is from Shouyang Mountain, Yuanxi Power Industry, Feng Yuxuan. He is a talented player with strong strength, a battle fanatic who loves to fight, and the descendant of the Feng family. He lacks enough glory and achievements, so he is required by the family to produce results and take them back to the main branch of the Feng family in Shouyang Mountain.”

……

“Yes. Dad, I understand. I will definitely get a top three place in this four-city competition.”

In the shuttle heading towards Chonggang Town, a young man with a scarf on his head sat in an independent single room with a blank expression, replying to calls from afar.

In theory, this communication is not allowed. The Four Cities Competition has theoretically begun, and now is the pre-match preparation stage. The contestants will cut off all communication with the outside world, but obviously, no one follows this rule. The head of Yuanxi Power Industry can still call and communicate with his son.

But this exchange did not bring much warmth or encouragement. The young man responded to his father’s request indifferently, then shook his head: “First place is very difficult. This time the opponent is very strong. I am not sure. Dad, no matter how much you emphasize that this is my only chance, it is useless. I can only try my best.”

“Yes. I will try my best. I’ll hang up now. The teacher wants to talk to me. We’ll contact each other after the competition.”

There was no teacher, so the young man hung up the phone. Then several calls came in succession. It was obvious that the previous calls were not pleasant. The young man’s father was not as calm as the young man, but was extremely excited and repeatedly demanded that his son must do his best, even at the cost of his life, to get first place.

The young man stood up and patted the ashes on his body that were caused by the rising flames of suppressed anger. He opened the door of the single room, only to find that his four teammates were stacked outside like a Jenga game, eavesdropping on his communications.

“Brother Xuan, your idiot father is here to urge you again?”

Being caught eavesdropping, the teammates were grinning and frivolous, not at all ashamed, and Feng Yuxuan sighed, “Boring old man, he only wants to go back to Dongtian, he doesn’t understand that being first in the Four Cities Competition is not an honor at all, it’s just a boring child’s play.”

However, his expression turned serious as he announced to his teammates: “But at least he is right about one thing. If we can’t even play house well, then we are indeed incompetent wastes.”

The list was crossed off.

“The second one is Shang Yuguang from Xintan Biological Data Workshop in Xuandu. He is a genius discovered by the public and the trump card of a young small company. He has a metamorphosis rate of over 75%. He was probably a female before the transformation. Both his parents are dead. Now he is adopted by the director of Xintan Company. His strength is not the strongest among the younger generation in Xuandu, but he is also a strong competitor. He hopes to use the good ranking in the Four Cities Competition to advertise himself and sell himself for a good price.”

……

“The company has invested more than 29 million good deeds in you, which is basically all of its working capital. Shang Yuguang, remember, we are one. If you lose, we will also be finished. We will not harm you.”

On the steel transformation platform, a young person with delicate features, whose gender could not be identified, closed her eyes and listened silently to the sound coming from the machine beside her. Her limbs and body were all completely transformed. The liquid ultra-micro magic forbidden puppet and the thousand-machine flowing mercury formed a human figure. Then, the silver metal gradually changed color and turned into a human figure without any gender characteristics, and changed into the shape of clothes and armor.

The young woman slowly sat up from the transformation table and opened her eyes. Tiny arcs of light like lotus flowers flickered in her eyes, eventually converging into golden pupils.

“I see.”

She said, and then stopped talking. It wasn’t you who killed me. It was the gangsters in the downtown area who killed my parents. I know it very well. I have no one to avenge.

If being a tool means she can be needed by others, she doesn’t mind being a tool. If being the first can bring meaning, then she will strive for it.

The list was crossed off.

“The third one is Lianshan, from the Lianshan Group headquarters, Qi Luoyang. He is a true core member of the group and the undisputed number one of Lianshan’s generation. I don’t know if he has any conflicts with his hometown, but he took the initiative to contact me and asked about your situation and thoughts. He is very curious about you, me, and even Huo Qing.”

……

[We don’t need rankings, Cun Yao (Qi Luoyang’s name), or even missions. Those are things that the people below need to do. What you need to do is to protect yourself. The talisman given to you by the ancestor, remember to sacrifice it in the sea of ​​​​gods, so that it can protect you at any time. The assembled magic weapons carried for you have been carried by your teammates. When viewed individually, they are just magic tools that meet the standards of the competition, but when needed, they can be combined into top magic weapons. With the help of the talisman, even Jindan Zhenjun cannot break it for a while, which is enough for the ancestor to take action… Remember, all you need is existence…]

An extremely long message came into Qi Luoyang’s chip. The lazy young man was lying in the luxurious compartment of his private airship. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the message roughly. He complained in his heart: “Didn’t I almost get blocked by the golden-horned guards who were guarding the chief priest lotus when I was circling around Kun Yao last time? They couldn’t stop me, so why worry so much.”

“That An Xuan next door has fought with guys in the Purple Mansion True Person Realm several times, and each time they used real swords and guns, while I can only spar with people I know. If I go out for training and it’s a little dangerous, he will use his trump card. I really don’t understand whether I am practicing or being practiced.”

The lazy young man turned his head speechlessly and looked out the window at the gloomy clouds and the gray-black earth passing by. “The city is dead and the cave is so crowded that it makes your scalp numb. On the contrary, the people in the wilderness are full of vitality in order to survive. I don’t know where An Xuan is from in the wilderness. Maybe people like him who have come from actual combat can walk on the road better.”

“But this is the first time that my family is so nervous. They actually asked me not to do anything but just hide nearby. It seems that something very dangerous is bound to happen in this Four Cities Competition, but they can’t tell me for the sake of confidentiality…”

Thinking of this, he became more alert: “That’s interesting. I want to see what big event it is that has made the family so nervous!”

The list was crossed off.

“The last one is Chen Yunfei from Luofu. He is a descendant of Dongtian blood, a direct descendant of Yuanshen, and the heir of the ruling Daotai. He is ten times richer than Qi Luoyang because his Tianjun ancestor is still alive, while the Daotai ancestor of Qi Luoyang’s family died during the catastrophe. He just has the Daotai foundation. He has the strongest background among all the people I know.”

Seeing this, An Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Nian Quan: “Is this kind of person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth worth winning over? If the group is a dynasty, he is basically a prince who has been crowned as a king. Not counting the Yuanshen Tianzun who does not show up, he is the heir to the ruling Daotai, and can even be said to be the emperor and the prince.”

“That’s where it gets interesting.”

Nianquan laughed and said mysteriously, “You can take a look at who is the organizer of this charity organization.”

An Jing looked at the back of the information: “Xuan Ye City Shoubai Charity Foundation… Chen Yunfei? It’s him? He does charity?”

“It’s not him. How would he have the time to run this? It must be his family who did it for him. Most likely, it’s to accumulate merits and to facilitate his future tribulations.”

Nianquan shook his head: “Isn’t this what these big companies do charity for? Collecting merits and virtues, refining magic weapons, this industry is not something that everyone can do. “Only people in the cave can do charity and win people’s hearts.”

But at this point, Nianquan’s tone became serious: “But An Jing, this charity organization actually used a full 50% of its funds to support young people in the slums to practice and transform dilapidated neighborhoods – that’s 50%, half. If you say that no one has spoken out for it, I don’t believe it.”

“In any case, this Chen Yunfei is indeed worthy of attention.”

……

A ragged young man walked out from the depths of the wilderness, surrounded by a group of awe-inspiring and well-equipped magic guards. It seemed that he had been experiencing adventures in the wilderness all the time, and was only welcomed back when the Four Cities Competition was about to begin.

“That wilderness tribe of the Kawaguchi tribe has helped me a lot. They want to move into a safe zone. I think that’s a good idea.”

Although his hair was messy, a maid soon came forward to clean it up. The young man didn’t care about it, but casually said, “Isn’t there a new town being built over at Matou Mountain? Make arrangements for the new immigrants and place our people there.”

“Young Master, I know you want to build up your own power, but there is no need to subjugate these small tribes.”

On one side, a ghost cultivator manager appeared beside the young man and said, “Although they did help you, you also helped them eliminate the demons that were entrenched in the surrounding area and causing trouble. After they know your true identity, they will definitely come to you shamelessly and want to gain benefits. Everything is just a transaction. These people are not as simple as you think.”

“Do as I say.”

The young man said calmly, and the ghost butler was only responsible for giving reminders. After receiving the order, he retracted the chip and started working.

The young man knew very well the reminder from the steward who had been taking care of him, that compared with the tribesmen who had helped him, there were more people who intended to murder him and eat him as a lone practitioner. The people in the wilderness were indeed as the rumors said, cunning, cruel, dangerous, greedy, without bottom line, full of lies, capricious, and short-sighted.

Even the tribe that he said he would take care of only put away their thoughts after seeing his strength. There was no essential difference between them and those other greedy and dangerous tribes.

The young man even discovered that there were many corpses buried in the wasteland surrounding the tribe that were not from their tribe.

It’s obvious that they are definitely not good people.

The young man should have been like everyone else, gradually despising and even ignoring these wilderness tribes that were more cruel than the demons.

But because he is too smart, he can’t help but see the truth and root of more things, so he can’t think like ordinary people.

“Why on earth would they be so cruel?”

“No resources. But why no resources?”

“They can only survive in the wilderness, and it is impossible for them to have any kind of life. People are close to the barbaric era, so they are as cruel as wild animals.”

“Why can they only live in the wilderness instead of in a safe area?”

“The expansion of the safe zone requires the opening of wars and the construction of a large formation. It requires too many resources, and various forces will interfere. The demons are also very dangerous.”

“Let’s not talk about other things. Are there really not enough resources?”

Chen Yunfei couldn’t answer this question, he just liked to think and ponder since he was a child. He couldn’t find the answer for now, but with his talent and background, one day, he would know the truth.

Close the list.

An Jing saw that there were many other names after the list. Some of them rose from the common people, and some were geniuses from wealthy or middle-class families.

“These people will have doubts.”

Nianquan said seriously: “So I need an answer.”

“An Jing, I believe you have the answer… Whether it’s strength or thoughts, you have the ‘answer’ to tell them.”

“indeed so.”

An Jing did have a clear goal and plan in mind at this moment. He laughed: “But in the final analysis, we still need to meet these guys face to face and… beat them down.”

Only if you win can you reason, if you lose, everything is meaningless.

But this is the only thing that An Jing has infinite confidence in.

soon.

Under the watchful eyes of various forces, students from the participating teams from all parties gathered around Xuanye City and arrived at Chonggang Town.

The Four Cities Competition is about to begin.
