Chapter 217 The Epics of the Guozhu Family, The Land of Fallen Boundaries, Attitude

Night falls.

The reception room in Luoye City was already full of people.

All nine prominent families of the Great Pillars of the Nation have gathered.

Valve Light stood quietly in the corner.

at the same time.

Hanging upside down in the clouds.

Qin Fang, Qin Xiaoyou, Lin Fan, Gu Yiyun, Lu Dayong, and Bai Yangyang gathered together.

Before them, a play of light and shadow appeared, revealing a conference room where people were talking.

"...So, there are about thirty-five epics in total. Sister Xue will also be coming in person... They should arrive around midnight tonight."

"No matter what, we must get information about the job change altar from them!"

They were chatting, their faces full of anticipation.

Everyone's words were extremely clear, and their facial expressions were also clearly visible.

It was a 'video call'.

They talked for a long time and discussed tomorrow's actions before leaving the meeting room. They planned to eat something first and then welcome reinforcements at midnight.

After they left.

Before he could speak, Fa Guang asked, "Boss, should I follow them?"

Xiao You thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you follow them and see what else they say, but be careful not to give yourself away."

"yes."

The camera began to move, and Qin Fang then withdrew the view.

"As expected, after revealing some of their strength, the nine great families of the nation have all begun to exert their power."

He said calmly.

The amusement park has clearly caught the eye of the Guozhu family. This time, they have revealed their strength. The Guozhu family in Shengjing has actually assembled a team of thirty-five epics and is heading towards Luoye City.

...It's usually very difficult to even see an epic figure.

Yet they managed to assemble an epic team of thirty-five people in just three days... This shows just how powerful the influence of the Guozhu family is.

"Currently, they only know that we have twenty-four Tier 3 Epics, but even if we only have twenty-four, they say we have about thirty-five... but they probably wouldn't dare to just start a fight, right?"

Lin Fan thought for a moment and then said.

"Their goal is to obtain information about the altar. They've made such a fuss, and they won't give up until they get a satisfactory answer... It's really hard to say whether a fight will break out."

Gu Yiyun frowned.

"I reckon we'll definitely have to fight one match first."

Qin Xiaoyou then spoke up, saying, "But that's exactly what we're after... let's have a fight first."

"Without a single strike, we cannot achieve our goal of 'showing the sword'."

Qin Fang nodded in agreement: "Xiao You is right, we definitely have to fight... If they don't fight, we will. But we have to be careful with the intensity... Try not to kill anyone. Just make them think twice."

"Then, proceed according to the previous plan."

"Are your preparations going smoothly?"

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Lin Fan nodded: "Everything went smoothly."

"That's good. Let's continue according to plan."

"yes."

The group nodded, exchanged a few more words, and then left the Upside-Down Cloud Realm.

Qin Fang let out a soft breath.

Next, he'll be busy too.

There's a high probability of war starting tomorrow, and the other Tier 2 units should be leveled up by now.

"Luckily, I still have over seven thousand reputation points, otherwise it would have been really difficult to handle..."

He muttered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, I started calling out names on the panel...

...

"boss?"

Qin Xing, who was in the room, heard the boss's voice and looked surprised. He quickly replied, "Yes, boss."

"Okay, come to my office."

"Ah, yes..."

Qin Xing didn't understand why, but he still agreed.

Soon after, ten more figures appeared in the modern office.

Qin Xing turned his head and saw that these ten people were his comrades who had been working with him to break through the Abyss dungeon these past few days.

Qin Fang, wearing a mask, smiled: "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. You should know why I called you here, right? Mission 2 is complete, and I must fulfill my promise... Let's re-sign the contract."

He pushed the contracts in front of him; there were ten in total.

"Your name is on it, sign it yourself."

The group looked at each other, then walked over and picked up their own contracts.

At the same time, the moment they pick up the contract, their professions revert to their previous ordinary or everyday jobs.

It wasn't the first time, but it still made them instinctively swallow hard.

Not daring to say much, they all signed their contracts.

Purple flames ignited, and soon Qin Xing saw his panel turn back to purple, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then comes anticipation...

Next, will it become level 3?

He kept staring at the panel.

But a moment later...

He was slightly taken aback when he discovered that the 'position' on the panel was still only level 2.

He looked up subconsciously, somewhat bewildered.

Then it was discovered that the vast majority of people were somewhat bewildered.

It's clear that none of them seem to have been promoted.

"Who's reached Tier 3 yet?"

At this moment, Qin Fang suddenly smiled and asked.

The next moment, someone raised their hand: "Me, I've reached level three..."

Qin Xing looked over.

It was a girl with bright eyes.

Qin Xing knew her... Her codename was 'Piaomiao', and she was the support for another raiding team!

"Okay, then you can leave now."

Qin Fang smiled and nodded, then glanced at the bewildered others and said, "There's a certain probability of advancing to the 3rd rank, but don't worry, everyone will definitely advance today... Let's try again."

Qin Xing and the others then realized what was happening.

Although I don't quite understand why there's a probability involved in advancing to Tier 3... it's not hard to accept.

After all... this is Tier 3!

Just a few months ago, many of them were even at level 0 or level 1!

It's perfectly normal that there were some setbacks in their advancement to level 3.

So soon, they signed a second contract...

...

One hour later.

When the last person left.

Qin Fang let out a breath.

I glanced at the panel.

I only have about two thousand reputation points left.

However, now, all characters are officially Tier 3 Epic.

...Oh, no, there's also a level 1 one.

However, we can ignore the new member for now and study him after this special operation is over.

He looked at his advancement quest.

[Advancement Quest]

【Task 1: Reach level 60, Tier 2. √】

[Task 2: Sign at least eighty employees with epic potential. (57/80) ×]

[Task 3: Sign at least 2 legendary employees. (1/2) ×]

【Task 4: Your employees must clear at least 30 Tier 1 Abyss dungeons and 15 Tier 2 Abyss dungeons. (0/30, 6/15) ×】

【Task 5: Achieve '500' passive income from corporate reputation. (300/500) ×】

...

He let out a soft sigh and left the modern office.

A sky full of stars, a crimson night sky.

Qin Fang listened to the distant roars of beasts, shook his head, and continued on his way...

Let's wait for tomorrow to arrive.

...

11 o'clock.

Outside the city of fallen leaves.

A group of people are on their way.

"Finally here..."

One of the handsome young men saw the city lights in the distance and let out a long sigh.

"I've been traveling for three days straight, and on my legs... I haven't run like this in ages, I'm exhausted... Boss, I only came this time because of you. You'd better make it up to me later."

The handsome young man looked at a stunningly beautiful woman in the crowd.

The woman had a cold expression. She glanced at the other person but didn't say anything.

"There's nothing we can do; the mount system is locked to Earth."

"I can't believe it," a young man said helplessly.

"The mount and pet system are connected. Earth does not have mount and pet secret realms. If they are really opened up, the alien races will have more mounts and pets to fight with... Earth's human race will only have a harder time."

A woman said calmly.

"But speaking of which... I've never heard of any job change altars in the Fallen Realm, so how did they suddenly appear on Earth? And it sounds like these job change altars are the work of some alien race... Could there be something wrong with them?"

The young man who spoke first stroked his chin and pondered.

“It’s not quite normal… I was also interested in this altar, which is why I came to take a look.”

A composed middle-aged man said calmly.

"But the rumors about Zhou Zecheng are also true... Several old men have looked at it, and they couldn't find anything wrong with him..."

"Time Prison Guardian...tsk, a class even more powerful than those old men...even with those alien races included, this class is top-tier (T0). And this class is obtained from the job advancement altar...do you think we might have a chance to get a legendary class to play with?"

The handsome young man's eyes lit up as he asked.

No one answered this question, but many people's eyes flickered slightly, clearly showing that they were also somewhat tempted.

To be honest...

What the handsome young man said is actually one of the biggest factors that makes these epics willing to come here.

Otherwise... even for the Guozhu family, persuading them to come over wouldn't be an easy task.

"There is a chance, but the prerequisite is that we need to find the job change altar."

The aloof and beautiful woman, who had remained silent until now, spoke calmly.

"That being said... but let me make this clear first: I'm willing to take action, but I don't want to actually kill those people from Paradise... They are all Epic Humans. You all know the current situation in the Fallen Realm. The alien races have been trying to open a passage to the gods. Although the old men have been trying to prevent more native Legendary Tier 5 beings from appearing, it's hard to say how long they can hold out. The alien army could descend on Earth again at any time... Under these circumstances, every Epic Human is crucial."

After a brief silence, the composed young man slowly spoke.

His words elicited slight nods of agreement from many people.

"According to intelligence, although their professions and origins are a mystery, they are clearly all fighting against alien races. As long as they are fighting against alien races, they are allies. That's what I mean too... Fighting is fine, but killing them is not."

A woman of exceptional beauty spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Linxue nodded naturally and said, "I originally only wanted to obtain information about the job change altar. I called you here so that Paradise could release this information. I never intended to really fight Paradise to the death. If... we can recruit them, that would be the best option."

"With such a powerful force detached from the organization, many things cannot be communicated in a timely manner. At this critical juncture, it is easy to cause misjudgment or trigger other situations."

She frowned as she spoke.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"Alright, enough talk, let's speed things up. I haven't eaten all day, and my stamina has dropped below fifty points."

The handsome young man grinned.

"You've run out of items to replenish your stamina?"

"Pah! Eating that tasteless stuff every day is making my mouth so bland! I finally get to come home, who wants to eat that kind of bland food? I want a feast!!!"

"..."

...

The group walked and talked, and soon they arrived in Fallen Leaf City.

At a glance, a large group of people could be seen outside the city, bathed in starlight, waiting in the distance.

The eyes of the leaders lit up when they saw them.

Jiang Zicheng ran over quickly.

"Sis, you're here!"

He looked at the stunningly beautiful woman.

Jiang Linxue nodded and glanced behind Jiang Zicheng.

Xu Bo, who had been jokingly asking Jiang Zicheng if his sister was coming, trembled and quickly smiled obsequiously, "Sister Xue..."

"Sister Xue."

"Sister Xue."

The group of scions of the Guozhu family behind him also greeted him respectfully.

Jiang Linxue nodded: "Let's go inside first. It's hard to explain over the phone, what's the situation now?"

She walked forward, but Tan Ci, as the director of the Combat Department, couldn't even squeeze past her and could only watch from a distance, bowing and scraping.

Looking at this group of people, he felt a chill run down his spine...

Little did he know that these were all epic-level professionals!

And then there are the people at the amusement park...

In Fallen Leaf City, nearly a hundred epics have gathered!

...There has never been such a grand scene since the establishment of Fallen Leaf City!

The members of the Combat Division were also watching from a distance. Of course, they also knew some of the information... After all, when these envoys were chatting, they didn't think it was a secret, nor did they deliberately hide it from them.

As Jiang Zicheng recounted the intelligence he had gathered, he led Jiang Linxue and the others inside.

The vehicles are ready, and we're prepared to welcome them.

...

"Wow, there are quite a few epic classes after all... This is the first time I've seen an epic class outside of Paradise..."

Not far away, Vacuum and Darkness stood together, their eyes curiously observing the crowd.

Valve Light spent the entire day in the conference room using absolute invisibility, effectively 'participating' in their 'Conquer Paradise' meetings.

They naturally knew that those who arrived later would be their opponents tomorrow.

"They look very imposing..."

Huiwen muttered softly, but his eyes were bright.

Since becoming an epic... he has yet to face off against another epic character.

"And their levels are higher... Although we are all Tier 3, we are all Tier 3 Level 0. These people are of different levels, and there might even be Tier 4... Although Xing Shuo and the others have all become Tier 3 now, other companions have also arrived one after another in the past few days... We have the advantage in numbers, but it's really hard to say about individual combat strength."

Valve light low channel.

The higher the level, the higher the natural attributes.

Epic classes, even a one-level difference results in a 20-attribute-point difference.

The greater the level difference, the greater the attribute difference.

"The boss specifically instructed us not to fight them to the death, at least not to kill anyone... Anyway, we expect a tough battle tomorrow."

Valve Light said with some distress.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Huiwen shook his head helplessly.

"Enough of this nonsense, let's follow them and see what's going on."

Seeing their vehicle begin to move, Huiwen called out to Faguang, and the two figures blurred and disappeared...
