Chapter 126 Terrifying Competition, No Way to Get a Turn, Simple Solution... The Altar Appears!

"Is it monitored in real time throughout the entire city, 24/7?"

Qin Fang frowned slightly.

This time he didn't wear a mask, so he wasn't in a state of 'resistance' but rather a state of 'lying'.

Unsurprisingly, the information he had set for an inconspicuous little assassin had already been discovered by the person behind it.

All I can say is... it truly lives up to its name as Shengjing.

After all, it is the capital of the country, the absolute core.

Such close monitoring is not excessive.

It seems best for members of the amusement park to avoid appearing in Shengjing in the short term.

Since the rank of this thing is uncertain, it's unknown whether the 'Paradise Version' of the 'Liar's Mask' can fool anyone.

If it becomes impossible to conceal, it will certainly be placed under close surveillance immediately.

This is not a good thing...

After glancing at the panel, Qin Fang ignored it and looked at the 'Biography' of Zhou Ze, the person he was recruiting.

Where is the other person's residence?

He entered stealth mode, and then...

One lucky audience member was selected.

...

Following the map on his phone, Qin Fang spent more than two hours arriving at the core area of ​​Shengjing.

This is undoubtedly a modern metropolis, with wide and smooth roads bustling with traffic and towering buildings of various shapes standing side by side... It feels as if you have returned to the world of the past.

Indeed, the Xia Kingdom in this world is also a nation brimming with creativity. It is the counterpart of my former homeland in this world.

He remained completely invisible for a while, observing the area before heading towards his target...

...

The Zhou family meeting ended at 10 p.m., and Zhou Ze left the old house.

His sister, Zhou Ying, rode in the same car with him, while his secretary was in the passenger seat.

After the vehicle started, Zhou Ying finally let out a soft breath and said, "You heard what the old man and the others said; the situation is more complicated than you imagined."

Zhou Ze nodded with a somewhat solemn expression.

The situation is indeed more complicated than imagined.

The main reason is... this news is just too shocking.

Now it is known to almost all the prominent families of Guozhu.

The younger generation of the Guozhu family also paid close attention.

Yes, all of them.

This includes those beings that have awakened and become epics.

The reason... is naturally because a 'legendary professional' has appeared in the amusement park!

No one understands the difference between legends and epics better than the Guozhu family.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that even those who have already obtained epic classes will take a gamble!

Anyway, it's already confirmed that the 'Mysterious Altar' will at least give you an 'Epic Class', the biggest drawback being that you'll drop from Tier 4 to Tier 1.

This is definitely a big problem for ordinary people, after all, it takes at least three to five years to go back from level 1 to level 4.

But for the Guozhu family, spending three to five years to fight for a chance to obtain a legendary profession... even if the probability is very low, only one in ten thousand... they will definitely take the gamble!

This also means that the struggle for that 'mysterious altar' will be extremely fierce!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze's expression immediately turned miserable.

Although he is a direct descendant of the Zhou family... there are more than a dozen third-generation direct descendants of the Zhou family, the vast majority of whom only have excellent professions and two epic professions. But they certainly won't easily give up this opportunity.

He won't even get a turn in line!

After all, based on the analysis of the elders, they concluded that... this job change is likely related to talent. And his talent... is only that of an ordinary warrior, which means he's probably the lowest among this generation.

Even if one's own family has a chance to get the opportunity, it will be ranked in the order of epic, excellent, elite, and common—the family meeting just now lasted so long precisely to confirm this.

In other words... even if he gets a chance, who knows when that will be.

And this is still the ideal scenario... assuming that all the mysterious altars are acquired by his family.

But the truth is... that's impossible.

External competition is becoming more intense!

Leaving aside the families that are also pillars of the nation, the Zhou family is neither the strongest nor the weakest among them; they are all about the same.

The key point is that this news will definitely continue to spread!

As it spreads, other monsters and demons will surely emerge as well!

The competition would be unimaginably fierce.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze felt utterly hopeless.

No matter how you calculate it, the probability of him getting a job change opportunity is infinitely close to 0.

Am I really destined to be just an ordinary soldier, living off my parents for the rest of my life?

Zhou Ze didn't want to talk for a moment.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

If he hadn't known this information in the first place, he probably wouldn't be in such a bad mood now!

Zhou Ying naturally knew the reason behind this. She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't know how to comfort her.

After a long pause, she could only take a deep breath and say seriously, "We'll prepare to leave for Iron Fang City tomorrow to see how things are going... I'll do my best to help you."

Zhou Ying's words deeply moved Zhou Ze.

Then he said with a look of utter despair, "Come on, sis... you'd have to wait in line for ages yourself..."

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at the brat!

Don't you know how tough life is?!

Zhou Ying was so annoyed by the boy's words that she didn't want to talk anymore, and the car fell silent.

After a long while, Zhou Ze sighed, "Forget it... stop making a fuss. I'll just be a regular soldier in peace..."

Zhou Ying remained silent.

...

Soon after, they arrived at Zhou Ying's home. Zhou Ying got out of the car and glanced at her younger brother, who was leaning against the back seat, waving weakly at her. She couldn't help but say, "At least now we see a glimmer of hope. Maybe it will take a while, but the world changes every day. Who knows when good luck will come your way? Having hope, no matter how faint, is better than having no hope at all, right?"

"cheer up."

"You don't look like my brother, Zhou Ying!"

The chicken soup was piping hot!

Zhou Ze replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll head back now..."

He waved his hand weakly, closed the car door, and the car drove away.

Zhou Ying watched the car drive away speechlessly, but in the end, she could only sigh softly and turn back to her villa...

No wonder the younger brother was in despair.

Hearing what her elders said today... how could she not feel despair herself?

...

"Young Master, where to now? You have three plans for tonight..."

The car was quiet, and it was moving smoothly. After a moment of silence, the secretary spoke softly.

"go home."

Zhou Ze had no interest in work; all he wanted to do was go home and sort out the chaotic thoughts that the news had thrown his mind into disarray.

After a moment of silence, the secretary nodded, and the car drove towards Zhou Ze's large villa.

...

Standing on the roof of the large villa, Qin Fang waited quietly.

On his way from Bailu to Shengjing, he kept thinking about how to recruit his first legendary employee.

Some methods are quite complicated.

He even planned to use this recruitment to find out some things about the Guozhu family... such as why Xu Jin wanted to suppress Paradise.

Or rather... suppressing legendary professionals?

Is this based on Xu Jin's own ideas? ...Or is it actually a consensus among all the prominent families of the nation?

Based on Zhou Ze's biography, he has already obtained some information about the Zhou family. Although it is vague, if handled properly, he should be able to figure out this information.

But once he actually arrived in Shengjing, he gradually dismissed the idea.

Nothing else...

The current amusement park is still too weak.

Even if we obtain this information, it won't be of any help to the amusement park.

The more complex the plan, the higher the probability of loopholes appearing.

Any problem with any joint could expose him.

That would be truly superfluous.

Especially here in Shengjing, the level of surveillance is so tight that it's evident from the moment you enter the Shengjing area that you're under surveillance.

If something really big is done, and it attracts the attention of those pillars of the state who are currently either in or out of Shengjing...

That would be a really big mistake.

Even with the 'Liar's Mask', 'Voidwalker's Boots', and 'Interview Space' by his side, Qin Fang wasn't absolutely certain he could escape.

so……

"It's better to keep it simple."

Qin Fang thought to himself.

The simpler the plan, the fewer the steps, and the lower the probability of errors.

Qin Fang abandoned his idea of ​​taking the opportunity to gather intelligence on the Guozhu family...

This time, I'm just here to sign a legendary professional.

Sign it and run!

As for how they analyze it afterward... let them do what they want.

In this way, the connection between the 'Paradise' and the 'Mysterious Altar' can be completely severed.

With this in mind, Qin Fang already had a plan.

Now, all that's left is to wait for Zhou Ze, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, to return.

...

A horn blared, bringing Qin Fang back to his senses. He looked down and saw the villa gate open, a luxury car slowly driving in. The housekeeper and maid inside the villa immediately went out to greet him.

Shortly after, a young man with a look of utter despair got off the bus.

Qin Fang stood on the roof of the villa, completely invisible, and threw a detection target over.

Name: Zhou Ze

【Class: Warrior (Normal)】

[Potential: Legendary (Guardian of Time Prison)]

[Available for signing.]

[Upon signing the contract, the employee will receive the 'Legendary Profession - Time Prison Guardian'.]

[Legendary Contract Requirement: 200 Corporate Reputation]

Should we print the contract?

...

It was indeed the target!

Unexpectedly, signing a legendary profession directly requires 200 corporate reputation... Fortunately, during these three days of travel, Qin Fang broke many speedrun records for Tier 1 dungeons to prevent accidents, so he now has a relatively high amount of corporate reputation.

He let out a soft breath and began to operate.

...

"Young Master."

Zhou Ze got out of the car, looking rather lazy. The old butler came forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.

"Um."

Zhou Ze gave a lazy reply and was about to go inside.

But at that moment, a sudden roar resounded, startling everyone, who instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It was right there in the garden!

After the roar subsided, a mysterious light and shadow suddenly appeared, a bright moon hung high, and behind it, a void royal court that seemed to have traveled through time and space suddenly appeared...

Zhou Ze was a little confused, but his secretary and old butler immediately rushed to his side, looking warily at the strange phenomenon that had suddenly appeared.

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly remembered something!

"Full moon...Royal court...Strange phenomenon..."

His eyes widened.

"Isn't this the strange phenomenon that Xu Jin mentioned before the mysterious altar appeared, as the old man said?!"

"Could it be... could it be..."

He suddenly shoved the secretary and butler away.

The two were immediately startled and instinctively exclaimed, "Young Master?!"

Zhou Ze had already taken two quick steps, his eyes fixed intently on what lay ahead.

Then he saw in that vision a strange scroll emitting a black light!

"Really?!?!?!"

Zhou Ze could hardly believe it. He gasped in shock and shouted without thinking, "Nothing's wrong, don't come any closer! If any outsiders come, stop them!"

Then he himself rushed directly into that strange phenomenon!

The secretary and the old housekeeper were both taken aback.

The next moment, sure enough, some figures rushed over from the direction of other villas.

The secretary reacted immediately!

"Uncle An, create a protective barrier!!"

She suddenly shouted.

The old butler reacted very quickly. Without hesitation, a round ball of light appeared in his hand, which he then crushed.

Suddenly, a layer of purple light spread out!

Bang bang bang!

Several sounds rang out in succession, and several figures were repelled from the void by the purple light.

"Zhou Ze!"

"It's that mysterious altar?!"

Damn it!

Exclamations of surprise filled the air.

Zhou Ze had already rushed into the royal court, his eyes filled with astonished joy, and he grabbed the scroll that was floating in mid-air!

Could this thing really be what Xu Jin was talking about?

He instinctively reached out to open the scroll.

But the next moment, a white light enveloped him, causing his figure to vanish instantly...

"Young Master!"

The mothers in the house exclaimed in surprise.

The secretary's eyes suddenly brightened!

Without thinking, I dialed a number...
