Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Chu Nan quickly reached Chen Xing’s residence.

“Chen… brother,” Chu Nan said with flickering eyes and a tone of awe.

Chen Xing noticed the change in Chu Nan’s attitude.

Chen Xing chuckled, “Senior Chu, are you ready?”

Chu Nan felt honored when he heard Chen Xing call him senior.

Chu Nan said, “I’ve got everything ready. As long as you agree, we can send people to take over the mine at any time.”

“Thank you for your troubles, senior.”

“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all,” Chu Nan repeatedly insisted.

“By the way, senior, this time…” Chen Xing paused for a moment and then continued, “I’ve also obtained a new Resource Point. Can you handle it?”

Chu Nan knew which Resource Point Chen Xing was referring to.

He waved his hands dismissively.

He said with a wry smile, “Brother Chen, I’ll be honest with you. I really can’t manage the Resource Point behind you. If it were just an ordinary Resource Point, that would be one thing, but this Resource Point… my family wouldn’t even qualify to guard the door.”

The more valuable the Resource Point, the stronger the defense force needed.

Not to mention anything else, the rarer the Resource Point, the greater the probability of attracting high-Energy Level wandering monsters.

“But I checked before I came. The new Resource Point you’ve obtained isn’t exactly new; it’s been developed for many years, and any monsters nearby won’t exceed a hundred Energy Levels. It’s relatively safe,” Chu Nan explained.

After signing the contract with Chu Nan, Chen Xing couldn’t help but contemplate how he should handle the newly acquired Resource Point.

Firstly, it would definitely require a significant number of people to mine it, and secondly, it would need a certain amount of security forces.

After all, he couldn’t stay there himself every day.

The batch of Twin-fiend Dogs at the breeding farm developed quite well under his nurturing.

But after all, they were Beast Tamers. Their intelligence could definitely not compare to that of an adult, and currently, their strength was too weak to shoulder a heavy responsibility.

So… this issue would ultimately need others’ help.

Several names surfaced in Chen Xing’s mind.

Ultimately, he decided to consult his mentor.

But Han Yuning’s response was unexpected, “I don’t recommend you choose our family.”

“Our family belongs to the Military Hawk Faction. You’ve been close to me because of our connection, and if you get more entangled in interests, it won’t be good for you, especially since we’re still at school.”

Chen Xing frowned, “Mentor, what are you talking about?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you’re planning to choose a faction to develop with or to become a faction on your own,” Han Yuning stared at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing was startled. He hadn’t expected his mentor to suddenly bring this up.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Chen Xing shook his head, “I haven’t thought that much.”

Han Yuning smiled and said, “If you haven’t thought that much, it means you don’t wish to throw in your lot with a particular faction and be at their beck and call.”

Chen Xing did not argue.

Han Yuning offered Chen Xing some advice, “So you need to find a balance. The Chi Family is a good choice.”

“The Chi Family represents the conservative faction within Great Xia. The old ancestor of their family is still active and is considered among the oldest generation of Beast Tamers.”

“During the college entrance examination, you and the Chi Family had a good relationship. If possible, you might contact the Chi Family for business. They will not be stingy with their help.”

Considering Chen Xing’s visible talent, as long as one wasn’t foolish, the Chi Family would not be stingy in their investment.

When he got home, Chen Xing contacted Chi Ziyao.

“Hello? Did you sign up today?” The voice on the other end sounded happy.

Chen Xing replied, “Not yet, I’m going to sign up later. Um… I want to discuss a business proposal with your family.”

“Discuss business? I’m not involved in that,” said Chi Ziyao from the other end, evidently troubled, when she suddenly noticed her ancestor sitting beside her.

The two stared at each other.

“What are you looking at me for!”

“`

“Old Ancestor? Would your word carry weight here?” Chi Ziyao asked in a hushed voice, covering the mouthpiece of the phone.

“That depends on the matter at hand,”

Chi De blew his beard and glared, “You come to me now?”

Though he said this, Chi De actually had a mental scale of his own.

If possible, helping out was no big deal.

“Ask him what kind of business he wants to conduct, it’s not mining, is it?” Chi De instructed Chi Ziyao to inquire.

After asking, Chi Ziyao looked at the old ancestor in surprise, he had actually guessed it right.

He just knew it, considering the timing and piecing together the cause and effect, it wasn’t hard to guess Chen Xing’s intention.

Chi De nodded, “Agree to it. Our family does have business in that area, but he must pay the wages himself.”

Chi Ziyao conveyed the message truthfully.

Chen Xing agreed happily.

He didn’t expect it to be resolved so easily.

Chen Xing had actually prepared to bargain, but the other party merely insisted on paying the workers’ wages.

All else remained the same.

The other party’s terms were unexpectedly lenient.

After chatting with Chi Ziyao for a while longer and arranging to treat her to a meal after the school year started, he hung up.

“Who was that? You seemed quite happy,” Chen Lingya, sitting on the sofa gently patting Chi Yu’s head, asked.

“A classmate, but the issue with the Resource Point behind us seems to be resolved,” Chen Xing replied, and then asked, “Sister, aren’t you trying to get a Resource Point?”

“I’m not nearly strong enough,” Chen Lingya waved her hand dismissively.

She checked, and those who could participate in the Resource Point Battle, aside from the “cannon fodder,” the ones who actually had a hope of securing a Resource Point had to have at least an Energy Level of ninety or more.

…

The registration for new students was located in a teaching building.

Following the direction signs, Chen Xing arrived at the office to sign up.

Sitting behind the desk was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Seeing Chen Xing enter, he smiled and said, “Chen student, right? I’ve heard a lot about you, I am your guidance counselor Zhao Guangming.”

“You haven’t even started school and you’ve already cleared the twelve levels of the Inheritance Tower. Looking at the school’s entire history, you are the only one, setting a new record,” Zhao Guangming said as he handed Chen Xing a pen and paper.

After Chen Xing signed his name, Zhao Guangming pointed to the dozen or so large boxes in the corner, “Take one with you. Your school uniform and military training gear are all in the box.”

“Oh, and about the military training… could you hold back a little and try not to let your Beast Taming go full force?” Zhao Guangming asked awkwardly.

“I’ve got a rough idea of the strength of your Beast Taming, and to tell the truth, if your Beast Taming goes all out, there wouldn’t really be a need to hold the military training at all.”

Chen Xing pondered, “Counselor, I actually don’t see the necessity of participating. Can you just write me a leave note, so I don’t have to attend?”

If he went on the outdoor military training, he wouldn’t be able to train the Beast Taming at home.

Going back and forth would delay his earning of Skill Points.

With that time, he might as well be earning Skill Points at home.

Hearing Chen Xing’s words, Zhao Guangming scratched his head and said with a wry smile, “Chen student, this is the first military training reform of the year, and a lot of people are watching. It might be a bit difficult for me to write you a leave note, but I’ll try my best to argue your case.”

“Thank you, counselor.”

Chen Xing left the office, carrying the box.

Back at his place, after opening the box, he found that besides two sets of school uniforms, there was a full set of camouflaged military gear for field survival, along with a folding tent.

The contents of the box were indeed comprehensive.

Chen Xing put the box back in a corner of the living room.

He took out his phone, ready to make an appointment for the Transcendence Ceremony.

Now that he had achieved Sìxiàng Transcendence, he could also hold a Transcendence Ceremony.

Chen Xing was full of anticipation about becoming a little superhero.
