"He's an Overseer. Why isn't he presiding over the Overseer's Office? Why does he run outside all day?" Zhou Wen frowned.
He had no interest in taking charge of Luoyang. Even if An Tianzuo really made him an Overseer and gave Luoyang to him, Zhou Wen would find it troublesome. Furthermore, he was really unwilling to help him guard Luoyang.
An Sheng said with a heavy expression, "Overseer has entered the Holy Land."
"Entered the Holy Land? Isn't he already at the Terror grade? How did he enter the Holy Land? "Zhou Wen was immediately alarmed as he hurriedly asked.
"Madam Lan has always been brooding over the professor's death. She hasn't had a good night's sleep for the past few years. Overseer really can't bear to see Madam Lan continue like this. He has no other choice, so he plans on pretending to be a Saint and enter the Holy Land to take a look. He hopes to find out something, "An Sheng told Zhou Wen.
"Even if he can transform into the appearance of a Saint, his body is still his. He still can't enter the Holy Land. What's the use of such a disguise?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
"Don't worry about that. Overseer pretended to be a Saint. It's not just his looks. We also used some special methods. Overseer has successfully entered the Holy Land. During this period of time, I hope you can help me preside over Luoyang. Actually, just like last time, you can leave the trivial matters to us subordinates. It won't take up too much of your time," An Sheng said.
"Alright." Zhou Wen agreed.
Since An Tianzuo had taken the risk to investigate the former principal, it was only right for him to guard Luoyang. Furthermore, his family and friends were here.
"Young Master Wen, do you think we should settle the important matters first?" An Sheng said.
"What's the important matter? Could it be that someone has come knocking? " Zhou Wen couldn't help but be taken aback. The last time he guarded Luoyang, nothing important happened.
"No, but the representatives sent by the various factions wish to meet you, Young Master Wen. Furthermore, they wish to ask you to help them ascend the rankings. Of course, many people want to know how you dodged the Calamity-grade bullet. After all, such an ability is just too shocking. "An Sheng recounted the matter.
Previously, An Tianzuo had held back those people. Now that An Tianzuo had left, Zhou Wen could only handle these matters himself.
"I don't have the time to help them get on the rankings. Let them go home," Zhou Wen said.
"Ahem, Young Master Wen, I'm afraid that's not good, right?" An Sheng said hesitantly.
"Why?" Zhou Wen asked.
"When they came, they brought huge gifts. Even if we don't meet them, it's not good to chase them away, right?" An Sheng said.
"What did you take? I should have a share, right? "Zhou Wen asked.
An Sheng seemed to be prepared as he took out a list for Zhou Wen to see.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this. From the list, the gifts weren't light. They knew that the An family needed Essence Crystals, so they basically sent them in tons.
Of course, one or two tons of Origin Crystals wouldn't be of much help to the An Clan. But if they gave it to many people, they would still accumulate quite a lot.
"You sold me out for such a small amount of Essence Crystals?" Zhou Wen said unhappily.
"It's not just for such a small amount of Essence Crystals. It's mainly because even the six families have sent people over. If we offend all of them, the An family won't have an easy time in the future. You also know what kind of environment Earth has. The things that Luoyang can produce are very limited. Many things have to be imported from other places. For example, Luoyang can't produce the most commonly used toilet paper now. It can only rely on imports. There's also salt that has to be imported. If we offend all of them, we won't die, but life will be very troublesome in all aspects … "
With that said, An Sheng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Wen. "Also, this is the price they offered. I think even if you reject them, you should take a look first."
"What price can they offer? They can't possibly give me a Terror-grade Companion Egg, right? "Zhou Wen took the paper and his eyes nearly popped out.
"Is this for real?" Zhou Wen asked An Sheng as he read.
The price given was so high that it exceeded Zhou Wen's expectations.
There was a tycoon who offered a sky-high price of a thousand tons of Essence Crystals just to get Zhou Wen to help him get on the rankings.
There was also the Zhang family of the six families. The price offered was ten Dragon Birth Pills, a thousand Spring Rejuvenation Pills, and a Life Reversing Talisman.
Although there weren't any Terror-grade Companion Eggs, the combined value wasn't inferior to a Terror-grade Companion Egg.
The Dragon Birth Pills and Life Rejuvenation Pills were Mythical pill essences. Their healing effects were very good. Although the Spring Rejuvenation Pill's grade was low, it was very effective in treating external injuries.
The most precious thing was the Life Reversing Talisman. It was said that it could be used to change one's fate.
Of course, changing one's fate was just an exaggeration. However, if a person who lost ten out of ten gambles used the Life Reversing Talisman to win ten out of ten gambles in a casino, such an effect would be considered heaven-defying.
Back then, Liu Yun had been able to steal the Fiend-Armored Tiger Soul General with the help of the Life Reversing Talisman.
It was said that this was left behind by the Zhang family's ancestral Celestial Master. Now, no one knew how to make them. The Zhang family didn't have many left.
The other large families and some local wealthy families offered ridiculously high prices. There was really a family that offered a Terror-grade Companion Egg. It was the West District's Family Clan of Gods.
If Zhou Wen helped them get on the rankings, he would immediately become a tycoon.
"Of course it's true. As long as you nod, they are even willing to pay in advance," An Sheng said.
"Don't they know that being on the rankings is useless? Only by getting first place can one become the final winner?" Zhou Wen asked An Sheng in puzzlement.
"Of course they know, but their goal isn't to obtain Venus Companion Beasts. First, even if they can't obtain Venus Companion Beasts, the metal eggs obtained after clearing the level can still hatch Companion Beasts in the future. However, their levels will definitely be inferior to Venus Companion Beasts. I still don't know what will hatch. If a Terror-grade Companion Beast appears, it won't be a loss. Even if it doesn't appear, it won't be a loss. They are here for the fame of being on the rankings, "An Sheng explained.
"What's the use of fame?" Zhou Wen didn't understand. Without strength, what was the use of fame?
"It's very useful. Do you know what we lack the most now?" An Sheng asked.
"High-level Companion Beasts?" Zhou Wen guessed casually.
"No, what we lack the most now is people," An Sheng explained. "It's not just us. All the large factions are lacking people. Due to the dimensional zones being breached more and more, the isolation of various places is becoming more and more serious. In addition, people are constantly sacrificing themselves. For example, our Luoyang is already considered good, but the number of people has been growing in the negative. If this continues for a long time, there will only be fewer and fewer people in Luoyang. The city will also become depressed, and the economy will decline. All walks of life will face difficulties in survival. When the time comes, I'm afraid we can only fight dimensional creatures together because there's nothing else to do. Then, there will be fewer and fewer people. After all, it's a life at stake. No one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents. "
"Although we have already begun formulating policies to encourage childbearing, the effects are too slow. It will take at least ten years before the initial effects are seen. The fastest way is to attract people from smaller places. For example, our Luoyang is rather famous. Many people come because of our reputation. For some other places, it would not be so easy to attract people to them. However, to be able to get on the rankings, no matter how you got there, at least the people nearby will know that there's such a place. It has the ability to invite a god like you. Once they consider relocating, they will naturally choose that place. "
An Sheng smiled and continued, "Of course, they will also have other considerations. For example, the six families have their own thoughts. I can't be sure."
"Then do you think I should take on these jobs?" Zhou Wen asked An Sheng.
