Chapter 222 Discussion: Two options, open or covert struggle, hesitation!

As expected, I was rejected.

Jiang Linxue's expression also turned serious.

...She revealed this secret in the hope that the other party would understand the bigger picture.

But obviously...

All right.

Jiang Linxue sighed softly to herself.

If it were her, her first reaction upon hearing this news would definitely be one of skepticism.

As the leader of such a powerful force, it's impossible for the other party to believe her words so easily.

So now the problem arises...

What's next?

Is this the end of it?

To be honest, she felt somewhat resentful.

But what can we do if we don't give up?

After their exchange, these epics and the people from the amusement park didn't seem to have any animosity at all; on the contrary, they seemed to have a mutual respect for each other...

It's a bit of a helpless situation.

...After all, they were all epic-level powerhouses. Although she was the leader, she couldn't force them to do things they didn't want to do.

A fight is out of the question.

What should we do then?

Even Jiang Linxue seemed to be at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Linxue hadn't spoken yet, but someone next to her couldn't help but speak up.

"What do you mean? You've already said all this, and your Paradise still refuses to share information about the Job Change Altar?"

Qin Fang turned his head to look over.

The man who spoke was from the Guozhu family... the one who spoke earlier and was then scolded by Jiang Linxue, his face turning ugly.

Qin Fang narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Does Young Master Li Yao have any objections?"

Hearing the other person call him by his name, the somewhat impatient Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but frown: "You know me?"

"I guess you could say we know each other... after all, we're direct descendants of the Li family," Qin Fang said with a smile.

But actually...

It was Valve Light who just told him that.

Valve Light followed these people for two days and managed to find out some basic information.

For example, Li Yao is a third-generation direct descendant of the Guozhu Li family and is currently an elite professional.

...He is one of the most eager to find the altar among this group of Guozhu family scions.

"Since you know me... then I'll be frank. The Altar of Job Change now seems to be an opportunity for all of humanity. Your Paradise's desire to monopolize it is probably a bit too greedy."

Qin Fang raised an eyebrow, then chuckled gently, "Young Master Li Yao, what makes you say that? You've been searching for the Altar of Job Change for a long time, haven't you? Has my Paradise interfered in this process? How can you expect my Paradise to monopolize it?"

"But your Paradise clearly knows the pattern of the appearance of the job change altar, yet you don't tell us. What is this if not monopolization?"

Li Yao, however, had his own understanding.

He said in a deep voice, "Some things are not for you to possess alone. I hope you will consider this carefully."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was already evident in his words.

Jiang Linxue frowned slightly, but ultimately remained silent and did not speak.

...From her perspective, it's not a bad thing that someone is taking the lead.

"Hmm... if I understand correctly, Young Master Li Yao, is this a threat to Paradise?"

Qin Fang's voice remained gentle.

Just as Li Yao was about to speak, someone beside him quickly covered his mouth and said, "Li Yao didn't mean that... It's just that what Sister Xue said just now, I believe you heard it too. This job change altar may be related to the fate of all mankind. So... if possible, I hope you can consider it from the perspective of the big picture."

The person who covered Li Yao's mouth said earnestly and frankly, "After all, this concerns the fate of all of us... I believe that if we were the ones who had the information about the job change altar, you would definitely try to find out about our actions... to determine whether we would drag you and the others into this mess, right?"

The other party was being quite subtle in their words.

But the meaning is very clear.

...The park cannot keep this information to itself.

And the reasons are quite valid.

...You said there wouldn't be any legendary professions, and it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

But why should I believe you?

Now, thanks to Jiang Linxue's words, this job-change altar has clearly become linked to the life and death of humanity.

So it's not wrong for anyone to pay attention to this matter.

...After all, who knows if Shagil will sabotage your amusement park and end up causing the extinction of humanity?

These words made Qin Fang's expression somewhat strange.

Even the park's members had strange expressions...

Others don't know.

But how could they not know after Qin Fang changed their contracts so many times?

What altar? This is just something the boss used to mislead people!

The only person who truly controls the ability to adapt to different professions is the boss.

So naturally... the situation that Jiang Linxue was worried about could not happen.

For example... the job change altar has created several legendary jobs.

...Because what profession the other party awakens is entirely determined by the boss!

...This is how it is viewed from the perspective of the park's members.

Of course, they didn't know that their ability to become epics was mainly due to their own potential. Qin Fang simply brought out that potential.

But their guess wasn't entirely wrong...

Even if he has potential, it's useless if he doesn't unleash it.

For example, Zhou Ze is a legendary figure with great potential.

But without Qin Fang's encouragement... he would have remained just an ordinary soldier until his death.

Therefore, the initiative is indeed in Qin Fang's hands.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking: "Young Master Zhang's words are quite pleasing to the ear... Very well. We are all human, and my Paradise is not one to be ignorant of righteousness... Since this job change altar is of great importance, it is indeed inappropriate for my Paradise to control it all the time."

Qin Fang's sudden question made everyone's eyes light up. Jiang Linxue's eyes brightened as she asked, "Are you willing to share information about the Profession Altar?"

"If I say I'm unwilling, then the relationship between Paradise and you all will probably be difficult to resolve amicably from now on, won't it?"

Qin Fang chuckled and shook his head.

"We are all human beings. Although we are not companions, we are at least compatriots... The park is dedicated to dealing with alien races, and its greatest hope is to drive them out of Earth. In a sense, we are even comrades-in-arms."

Qin Fang's smiling words startled many of the epic figures, and their gazes toward the members of Paradise suddenly became serious...

They never expected that this mysterious paradise would have such an ideal.

...Driving the alien races off Earth is undoubtedly their greatest dream!

"If that's the case... then we can be considered comrades."

Shen Lang, having abandoned his previous carefree demeanor, became serious.

Qin Fang smiled slightly at him and nodded.

Let's talk about the details.

Qin Fang simply stated directly: "I do indeed have information about the patterns in which the altars appear."

...After all, I was the one who built this altar.

"But the information that directly reveals the pattern comes from a special item of mine... I'm sorry, I can't give this item to you directly."

"So there are two options right now... First, after I receive the intelligence, I will contact you as soon as possible, tell you the destination and the time of appearance, and you can go find it yourselves... This requires you to discuss it yourselves, and I will contact whoever I want to contact... As for how you act afterwards, that's your business, and Paradise will not interfere. But there is one problem you must know... that is, I cannot determine whether the altar that appears is legendary or epic, and I cannot guarantee that you can get there in time... If you miss it, or if you get a legendary class... that is also very possible."

Qin Fang's first method caused a slight change in the expressions of many people present.

...Especially the scions of the Guozhu family, their eyes shifted.

Obviously, for these pillar families of the state... legends and such are another matter.

From their personal perspective... obtaining an epic class is what they care about most.

If the other party really chooses this method... then they may truly never be able to obtain an epic class for the rest of their lives.

They looked at each other, their eyes darting around...

The alliance that had previously targeted the amusement park was on the verge of collapse because of Qin Fang's words.

...Those who associate for profit will break off relations when the profit is gone.

That's the idea.

They had originally wanted to obtain information about the amusement park, so naturally they joined forces.

But once the park is willing to share this information, they will naturally start to consider their own interests...

This is only natural.

Jiang Linxue clearly noticed this as well. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What's the second method?"

"The second method is... I won't provide information about the altar's appearance. However, I will directly provide you with the 'scroll' to enter the altar..."

Qin Fang paused slightly at this point, then looked at a man in the crowd and smiled, "As Young Master Xu Jin's cousin, Young Master Xu Bo should know very well that Xu Jin obtained a black scroll before entering the altar, right?"

Xu Bo, standing in the crowd, was visibly taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded: "I've heard my cousin mention it, and it's true."

"That's the teleportation scroll leading to the altar. The anomaly isn't because of the altar, but because of this teleportation scroll... we entered the altar through the teleportation scroll."

“I will provide you with teleportation scrolls... There are three benefits to this.”

"Firstly, once I come into contact with the teleportation scroll, I can determine whether the scroll corresponds to an epic class or a legendary class... This can prevent legendary classes from appearing prematurely."

"Secondly, I will take action myself, so there will be virtually no mistakes or omissions. I can guarantee that I can provide you with at least two scrolls every month."

"Thirdly..."

Qin Fang smiled and said, "It also avoids complicated internal struggles within your organization... Epic classes are still quite appealing, aren't they? If I leave it to you to handle, there will inevitably be some open and covert infighting within your organization, right?"

Qin Fang's words caused a slight change in the expression of all the scions of the Guozhu family present.

Then his eyes flickered.

...That's too blunt.

But I have to say... that's definitely the case.

Who wouldn't want to be an epic class?

When limited spots are available, how could they not compete for them?

To be fair, if Paradise chooses the first option, it would essentially shift the conflict between Paradise and the Guozhu family directly into the Guozhu family's internal affairs...

This is indeed not a good thing for them.

"So, what are your plans for these spots? Who will you give them to... and who won't you give them to?"

Jiang Linxue was silent for a moment before asking.

"It's very simple... The park has an auction house, and I will hold an auction every now and then... You can all pay attention to it, and then... it's up to your own abilities."

Qin Fang smiled gently: "Turning 'covert struggle' into 'open competition'...is actually good news for you, isn't it?"

Qin Fang's sudden words left everyone present somewhat bewildered.

Then they all looked at Qin Fang with strange expressions.

"auction?"

Jiang Linxue couldn't help but ask.

"To maintain an organization, funding is still very important."

Qin Fang smiled, not seeing any problem with it at all.

"Moreover, to be honest, an epic-level combat power... is something that you can hardly buy anywhere else, no matter how much money you spend, right?"

Jiang Linxue fell silent.

She fell into deep thought.

The scions of the Guozhu family around them also fell into deep thought.

Is it going to be auctioned?

If that's the case...

Their expressions kept changing, clearly as they were internally assessing their position in the family and whether they had a chance to participate in such competition.

...when all the prominent families of Guozhu were to participate in the competition.

This seems... a bit difficult, doesn't it?

The expressions of the many young men, each knowing their own family affairs, kept changing.

Then they awkwardly discovered that... whether it was the first or the second option, it seemed that even if they eventually qualified, they might not be among the first tier to reap the benefits.

"Is there really no other choice? This way we have no..."

Li Yao stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, and his expression changed drastically.

...If I continue, my true intentions will be exposed.

Or rather... it has already been completely exposed.

"These are just two of my proposals. If you have better options and I think they are suitable, we can cooperate."

Qin Fang smiled.

Li Yao opened his mouth immediately, but after opening it, he couldn't say a word. After a moment, he closed his mouth again.

...He did want to say something like, 'Just tell me the information directly'...but he knew perfectly well that even if the other party agreed, his close friends would never agree.

Why should I get it but not you?

The other, best way, is naturally... 'Give me your special item'...

This is the best way.

But needless to say... their very first sentence had already ruled out that possibility.

Then a series of thoughts popped into his head, but in the end, he extinguished them as soon as they appeared.

because……

No solution!

Because he cannot represent his own side.

As just clearly stated, the nine members of the alliance are nine irreconcilable forces when it comes to interests.

Under these circumstances... no one could easily give up such a seemingly easy and huge benefit!

...An epic class!

Moreover, it is highly likely to be a powerful epic class that is superior to many others who directly awaken into epic classes!

This is something no one can easily give up.

Qin Fang used two simple methods to clarify some things, and then threw the problem back to these pillar families of the state...
