C326 His Status Has Risen

Niu Ben and President Niu Pi didn't force the hunters to express their opinions on the spot, they just wanted them to think about it and make some preparations.

After all, there was still a year before the secret realm reappeared.

"I understand." Just as Lu Chong was deep in thought, Elder Zheng suddenly sent a voice transmission and cried out in alarm.

"Know what?" Lu Chong asked.

"I know. Why didn't they force everyone to hand over the secret realm?" Elder Zheng narrowed his eyes and said.

"Logically speaking, since they organized so many Star Hunters to enter the secret realm, it must be the Venerable or even the gods of the alliance who are eyeing the treasures in the secret realm."

"But, why are they so confident that they don't need to hand over their treasures?" Elder Zheng asked back.

Lu Chong pondered for a moment before saying, "Isn't it to stimulate the enthusiasm of these Star Hunters?"

"After all, everyone is selfish. Who is willing to give the treasure that they risked their lives to the alliance?"

"Of course, if it is something that is not very useful to them, it would be more worthwhile to exchange for battle credit."

Elder Zheng nodded slightly. "You're only talking about one aspect."

"But I think there must be a deeper reason. Furthermore, it's not just one thing. "

"First, it will stimulate the enthusiasm of the Star Hunter and make them willing to explore. At the same time, it will also open up a path for the people sent by the alliance."

"To put it bluntly, it's to let the hunters be the vanguard and share the risks in this mystic realm."

"And the alliance will definitely send out a large number of emperors to follow closely behind, heading straight for the real target."

"It's even possible that they've hidden some key information and haven't made it public, so that they won't have to worry about the hunters seizing the treasure" Elder Zheng analyzed.

Lu Chong quickly understood what Elder Zheng said, and felt that it was very close to the truth.

It was easier to gain the trust of others if it was true or false.

Elder Zheng was not the only one who guessed this. Many of the hunters present should have such thoughts.

"What else?" Lu Chong couldn't help but ask.

With Elder Zheng's experience, he had a deeper understanding of these things than ___.

"Also, if someone really manages to obtain a key treasure in the secret realm, I'm afraid the alliance won't be worried."

"Think about it, no matter who obtains the treasure, it still has to be circulated in the alliance in the end."

"Going around for a while, in the end, it's also the Alliance's wealth. No matter how you calculate it, the Silver Star Alliance won't lose anything."

"They just need to guard the secret realm and prevent people outside of the alliance from entering."

"They can even take it back quietly."

This was the result of considering the overall situation. Lu Chong also felt that it made sense.

"So, the crisis of exploring the secret realm is not only in the secret realm, but also the threat of the accomplices, as well as the person behind it."

"Lu Chong, I really don't recommend you take such a big risk."

In the end, Elder Zheng still didn't recommend Lu Chong to go to the secret realm.

In such a chaotic situation, Lu Chong was just too insignificant. A slight carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

In the following banquet segment, Lu Chong was somewhat absent-minded.

"I still have to go to the secret realm. If I miss such a good opportunity, I don't know when it will happen again."

Once he could get a piece of the pie in Space-time Secret Realm, not only him, but the entire Flame Country would be able to move forward in large strides, saving a lot of time.

What Lu Chong and the others needed the most right now was time.

Furthermore, what Lu Chong valued the most was not only the treasures in the secret realm.

He didn't know if the others had noticed it, but Lu Chong still had his own thoughts and goals.

In that Space-time Secret Realm, there had been a hundred Venerables and nearly ten thousand Emperor Warriors that had fallen.

"Then, how many resources will they have left behind?" When Lu Chong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Comparatively speaking, his current wealth was like a drop in the ocean.

If he could obtain the inheritance of this group of people, it would be an unimaginable amount of wealth.

At that time, he would buy over a hundred supreme grade spaceships and drive them back with a large amount of space defense weapons. Would he still need to worry about the invasion of Alfano Star?

It was not impossible to launch a counterattack in one fell swoop.

If he defended for a long time, he would lose. If he switched sides, he would become the host. That was the truth.

"Therefore, as long as I'm not greedy enough to seize the treasures that everyone cares about and develop pervertedly, there might not be much risk."

"However, before I enter the secret realm, I still need to make more preparations."

After making up his mind, Lu Chong began to think about his next cultivation plan.

Not long after, Niu Bo took the initiative to look for Lu Chong and invited him to propose a toast to the City Lord Niu Ben, who was sitting on the main seat.

Lu Chong couldn't refuse, so he followed.

"I have heard about you from Niu Bo. Don't worry, as long as you are still a disciple of Shifang City, Black Dragon Clan won't dare to touch you." Niu Ben was still as straightforward as ever. He gave Lu Chong a calming pill in a cup of wine.

"Thank you, City Lord, for taking care of me." Lu Chong said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Niu Ben nodded approvingly, "Young people have a bright future. As long as you don't take the wrong path, sooner or later you will be able to make a name for yourself."

"Niu Bo." Niu Ben looked at Niu Bo, who was standing beside him, and said, "If you have contributed, you will be rewarded. Arrange a place for this Mr. Lu to settle down in."

"Don't let people think that Shifang City is petty."

"Yes, City Lord." Niu Bo hurriedly said.

Lu Chong thanked him again and tactfully left with Niu Bo.

His first impression of this city lord was not bad. He was straightforward and rarely talked nonsense, but he was direct and practical.

"Don't think that Uncle Immortal is a man of few words. He has always been swift and decisive."

"Your residence has already been arranged by the Prefecture. It isn't far from my house. It is worth more than one billion alliance dollars." Niu Bo said via divine sense.

Lu Chong was slightly surprised. This City Lord was really generous.

However, he liked this kind of method to win over people's hearts.2

If he didn't draw the cake, he would give it to them directly.

"Mr. Lu, nice to meet you. I am Tong Yun." At this moment, another two people arrived in front of Lu Chong. The leader of the group was the captain of the city guards, Tong Yun.

Behind him was the unwilling Tong Qing.

"Captain Tong, I've heard a lot about you." Lu Chong didn't know why he was here, so he asked politely.

"No, no. Mr. Lu is now the new noble of Shifang City. He is one of the best amongst the younger generation."

"By the way, I heard from my son that there is some misunderstanding between him and Mr. Lu."

Tong Yun said with a smile, "That's why I brought him here to apologize to you. I hope Mr. Lu will forgive me."

Lu Chong was confused. The captain of the city guards in front of him was not weaker than Niu Bo. Was there a need to bow to a newly advanced Two Stars hunter like him?

At this moment, Niu Bo whispered to him from the side, "There are less than a hundred Two Stars hunters in Shifang City."

"You are the youngest and have great potential. Furthermore, you have broken through to the Two Stars in one go during the exam. Your status and influence are not weaker than this city guard captain."

"So, there's no need to worry. Tong Yun has always been the type of person who comes from both sides."

Lu Chong finally understood. Although he had only participated in the Hunter Assessment, after this battle, at least his status in the Shifang City had risen.

He once again realized that this was a place where the strong prey on the weak, a place where the fittest lived.

If not for this, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a place to stay here.
