In that instant, Xiao Chen and the other two felt somewhat awkward.
Three grown men actually had to rely on the help of a woman.
Although they didn't say it out loud, they could all feel each other's embarrassment.
But there was no other way.
In this extremely short period of time, they had already learned that if they wanted to survive in South Dingnan City, it was sometimes impossible to do so without relying on connections.
From a certain point of view, this was an extremely contradictory matter.
This was because Gu Qingzhou and the others had also said that in South Dingnan City, one's own strength was the most important. Background was only one aspect, but under certain circumstances, one had no choice but to rely on a powerful background.
Chen Hao suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. "How hateful! If only we were in the Immortal Realm, we wouldn't need to go around begging others!"
"If only we were in the Immortal Realm, where would we be able to obtain such good resources?" Xiao Chen smiled.
This world was fair. Sometimes, if you wanted to obtain something, you had to pay a price.
He understood Chen Hao's meaning. If this was in the Immortal Realm, with Chen Hao's status and background, relying on the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would indeed allow him to sit back and relax.
But this was not the Immortal Realm.
Chen Hao also heard the meaning behind Xiao Chen's words and said helplessly, "To be honest, I used to think that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was omnipotent and omniscient. Add to that the existence of my family's old man, I felt like a local tyrant, getting whatever I wanted. But now that I've come to South Dingnan City, I realize that a powerful force like the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets doesn't count for much. There are also areas that they can't touch, or even qualify to touch. Now that I think about it, it seems that even the Immortal Realm doesn't count for much. "
Xiao Chen and Da Huang both nodded in deep agreement.
The two of them had the same feeling. Only after coming to South Dingnan City did they realize that there was always a higher heaven and a stronger person.
Although South Dingnan City was only a city, in comparison, the Immortal Realm was more like a small place.
This feeling was indeed very peculiar.
After all, there were countless lower realms beneath the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm was a place that many people dreamed of coming to.
For some cultivators, the Immortal Realm was the ultimate goal that they strived for in life.
However, it was only in Dingnan City that he felt that the Immortal Realm was just an ordinary place.
"It seems that our understanding of the world of immortals was too limited, and too one-sided. In the future, it's better to maintain a sense of reverence. This world is far more complicated than we can imagine, "Xiao Chen said softly.
"That's right. In any case, from now on, I don't think I'm that powerful anymore." Chen Hao nodded vigorously.
Xiao Chen took the initiative to contact Malachite.
Soon, Malachite informed Xiao Chen that she had returned to the place where they had been staying.
Xiao Chen and the other two didn't waste any more time. They hurried back to Mo Qing's courtyard.
"You went back to the Divine Lotus Race?" Xiao Chen confirmed.
Malachite nodded slightly. "Well, I didn't really go back. I just went to see an elder."
Xiao Chen didn't ask any more questions about Malachite's personal matters. This was because Malachite had previously said that she wouldn't be returning to the Divine Lotus Race in the short term. Given her personality, she clearly wouldn't go back on her words in such a short period of time.
Therefore, this time, she might have gone to the Divine Lotus Race's place to see an elder.
"What do you think about using connections to join the wild forest guardian team?" Xiao Chen went straight to the point and asked.
He had already informed Malachite about the details of these matters through the communication jade slip on the way here.
"I haven't been idle these past two days. I've also learned a lot about the situation in Dingnan City. What you said might be a good idea. However, using this method to obtain a large number of contribution points isn't very realistic. It's too slow! "Malachite said.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Xiao Chen asked.
"There are other ideas, but they aren't that fast. Before we officially join the organization and participate in missions, it's very difficult to obtain a large number of contribution points. In any case, it's not realistic to help Chen Hao exchange for the Devouring Light Wood in two years!" Malachite said softly.
"Even if we officially join the organization and obtain the qualifications to participate in missions in two years, it will still take a lot of effort to obtain 800,000 contribution points. Therefore, you guys shouldn't have too much hope in the next two years."
Malachite's words weren't polite at all. They were very direct.
"This …" Chen Hao was stunned for a moment before he awkwardly scratched his head.
He was indeed very excited before, but now his excitement had slowly subsided.
"Indeed, you guys don't have to worry too much about me. Anyway, the Devouring Brightness Wood won't run away. Whenever we get it, we can exchange for it. There's no need to be too anxious." The kid also followed up.
Xiao Chen didn't say much. He trusted Malachite's words and judgment. Moreover, with their understanding of Dingnan City, they reckoned that no one could compare to Malachite.
Since Malachite had said so, it was impossible to obtain enough contribution points to help Chen Hao exchange for the Devouring Light Wood in two years.
"However, although we won't be able to obtain that many contribution points, since we've come early, there will naturally be some benefits. With the contribution points we earn in these two years, each of us can exchange for a portion of the most basic Holy Spirit Dew. With this thing, we'll have a big advantage when we participate in missions in two years," Malachite said.
"Holy Spirit Dew? What's that? "Xiao Chen and the other two were puzzled.
They hadn't seen this so-called Holy Spirit Dew on the list at the exchange.
"Hehe, newcomers don't have the qualifications to exchange for this thing! Only I can rely on my relationship with the clan's elder to help us exchange for it! "Malachite smiled proudly.
"… Is that even possible?" Xiao Chen and the other two were somewhat speechless.
"Of course. Although background and whatnot don't play a big role in Dingnan City, frankly speaking, where can't we rely on our relationship? You guys are still too naive! "Malachite beamed.
"Then I'll have to hug your thigh tightly, Saintess." Chen Hao instantly put on a fawning expression.
Then, Xiao Chen and the others found out that the so-called Holy Spirit Dew would give them a big advantage when they went out to carry out missions. However, as for its specific use, that damned girl Malachite still liked to keep them guessing. She said that they'd find out in two years.
Xiao Chen could only stop asking.
