The Heaven Alliance branch foothold on checkpoint 46 was built on the most luxuriant branch. The entire branch, including the hundreds of leaves at the end of the branch, spanning thousands of square kilometers, was the Heaven Alliance's territory.
As Lin Huang followed Chan Dou, he did not encounter many Heaven Alliance members along the way. Lin Huang was rather surprised as he remembered Yao Lan mentioning that there were thousands of members in the Heaven Alliance.
Following Chan Dou to the end of the branch, Lin Huang finally saw the leaves of the Stairway Tree. Different from what Lin Huang had imagined, the leaves of the Stairway Tree were in a peculiar shape. They were not ordinary leaves but more like floating islands of different shapes. There was a hemispherical white bubble above each of the islands that covered the front of the leaves.
Chan Dou brought Lin Huang to the bubble that covered the leaves. He pressed his hand on the bubble and a small door that was approximately two meters wide opened. "This is the Heaven Alliance's territory. Most of the leaves are open to all Heaven Alliance members. If you want to enter one of the spaces in the leaves, just press the hand that you signed the agreement with the Heaven Alliance on the bubble. The bubble will open the door for you. Of course, there are a few places in the foothold on checkpoint 63 that have restricted access. Only the chief and deputy chief can enter. "
Chan Dou stepped into the bubble as soon as he was done speaking. The bubble, which had an entrance, was restored almost as soon as he entered, blocking Lin Huang from entering.
Lin Huang followed Chan Dou's instructions and pressed his right hand on the bubble. Soon, a small black door similar to the one before opened, and Lin Huang stepped into it immediately.
As soon as he entered the bubble, Lin Huang realized that there was a huge building in the space that looked similar to the Coalition government's building.
"The owner of this leaf used to be someone from the Coalition government, so the style of the building is a little like the Coalition government's office building. We were too lazy to change it later on, so we just used it as an office building, "Chan Dou explained with a smile and brought Lin Huang into the office building.
In the hall, a tall man in a suit nodded slightly at Chan Dou as a greeting when he saw the two of them enter. Then, he sized up Lin Huang.
"This is the person in charge of our 46th level branch, Wang Zhong." Chan Dou gave a simple introduction and then said to Wang Zhong, "I'll talk to him first. I'll leave him to you later."
Wang Zhong nodded his head and led the two of them into the conference hall before leaving.
"Take a seat."
On the long table in the conference hall, Wang Zhong had already prepared two cups of tea in advance. Chan Dou didn't sit at the main seat. Instead, he casually pulled a chair and sat down.
Lin Huang sat across the table from him.
Lin Huang had initially thought that Chan Dou would send a clone to meet him today. However, judging from how Chan Dou had instantly killed the four robbers who tried to rob him, it seemed that Chan Dou had come in person.
"First of all, I would like to welcome you on behalf of the Heaven Alliance. To be honest, when I sent the invitation yesterday, I was already prepared to be rejected by you, "Chan Dou said with a smile.
"I didn't intend to accept it at first, but something happened at the last minute." Lin Huang didn't explain the specific reason.
"It seems that I'm quite lucky." Chan Dou didn't delve into the reason. "Since you're now a member of the Heaven Alliance, let me briefly introduce the Heaven Alliance."
"The Heaven Alliance was established 783 years ago. It was the first force to enter this virtual world in the new era. At that time, it was also the only freakish force. As the first district expanded, the number of freakish people increased, and we started to have sub-alliances. After that, the second, third, and other safe districts were established, and other forces started to move in. Due to some reasons, the sub-alliances of the Heaven Alliance became independent and became the current Hong Alliance, Tang Alliance … "
"Over the past 700 years, the Heaven Alliance has always been the leader of the Evil Alliance. As members of the Heaven Alliance, we have many special privileges. For example, if we use our points to exchange for items in the Evil Alliance, we get a 30% discount. The leader and deputy leader get a 40% discount, while the leader and deputy leader of the Hong Alliance only get a 30% discount. Also, we get a massive amount of rewards every month, which is three times more than the Hong Alliance that ranks second. In the real world, the Emperor's Heart provides us with the priority to select new ruins and access rights. "
"Of course, since we're the leader, everything that we do is monitored. That's the main reason why some of the deputy leaders objected to me recruiting you. There's been a lot of controversy about you lately. "
Chan Dou did not finish his sentence, but Lin Huang could tell that many people in the Heaven Alliance did not want a 'cheater' to join them as it would damage the Heaven Alliance's reputation.
"Then, why do you insist on choosing me?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"Because you're really capable. Although I have no idea how you did it, I can't get eight million points on the 21st checkpoint in one night. At least, I couldn't do it when I was a blue flame-level. Even when I was a gold flame-level, I couldn't do it. Moreover, it's impossible for me to get to the 46th checkpoint as a blue flame-level, even if I have the strategy. " Chan Dou admitted that he was not as good as Lin Huang when they were on the same level. He also avoided saying that he cheated.
"If you don't die prematurely, your ability won't be weaker than mine when you're on immortal-level rank-9. You might even be more powerful than me. I don't want to see such a good seedling being left in the wild that's overgrown with weeds. Eventually, you'll die together with the weeds that have no nutrition. You can only grow into a towering tree in the fertile soil. I hope that the Heaven Alliance is the one who provides you with the fertile soil and not some other organization. "
"You're flattering me. I'm just a blue flame-level …"
"Your low combat level is just temporary. I believe that you'll grow stronger very soon and prove to everyone that I'm right. You'll give those who look down on you a hard slap!"
"Let me be honest with you. Throughout the past 20 to 30 years, most of the people that we've recruited are immortal-level rank-6 and rank-7. Very few of them are below immortal-level rank-3. Many of the immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3 talents have been taken away by the Hong Alliance, the Tang Alliance, and other organizations. They've been expanding throughout the years. Some of the low-level immortal-levels have grown, but the number of our high-level talents has been decreasing due to their retirement. "
"I've noticed this since I took over the Heaven Alliance, but I haven't found a good solution. The reason why I recruited you is that I hope that you'll be able to create a good situation for the Heaven Alliance and let the other upper echelons see the rapid growth of the newcomers. Only then can we bring more fresh blood to the Heaven Alliance and make the Heaven Alliance stronger … "
Chan Dou and Lin Huang chatted for more than half an hour. Most of the time, Chan Dou was talking while Lin Huang was listening. He talked about the past glory of the Heaven Alliance, the competition that they were facing now, and his vision for the future of the Heaven Alliance. He even talked about the five-year catastrophe and other topics that had nothing to do with the Heaven Alliance.
"The main reason why I'm meeting you is to see what kind of person you are. Now that I've seen you, although you're different from what I imagined, I'm really satisfied. " After more than half an hour, Chan Dou finally stood up from his seat. "I hope that you'll find a sense of belonging in the Heaven Alliance and treat this place as your home."
