Chapter 223 The Black Scroll, the Members' Sense of Belonging, Qin Fang's Arrangements, and the Sense of Urgency
The expressions of the Guozhu family members changed one by one.
The epics remained silent, merely watching Qin Fang with some curiosity; they clearly did not want to participate in the current topic.
...They had a clear understanding of the thoughts of these scions of the Guozhu family.
And they... don't really have much of a say in this.
They're just here to show their support.
"What? Can't think of a better solution right now?"
Qin Fang's voice echoed.
For a moment, everyone remained silent.
Qin Fang smiled and said, "No rush, take your time. If you can't make up your mind right now, you can go back and discuss it. I also need some time to verify what Miss Jiang said."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of scions from the Guozhu family changed, and Li Yao quickly asked, "Are you planning to leave now?"
"What, does Young Master Li have any further guidance?"
"This...thing hasn't been settled yet. If you leave, how will we contact you next time?"
Li Yao said repeatedly.
"It's very easy for you to contact me."
Qin Fang smiled and said, "You all know about Tianshuang City, right? I plan to open an auction house there. If you want to contact me, you can go directly to the Tianshuang City Paradise Auction House... that's the fastest way, since Tianshuang City is the closest to Shengjing."
"Well, the Paradise Auction House will probably open quite a few more in the future... If any of you need to contact me, you can go to the Paradise Auction House, tell the staff that you want to see the boss, and leave your contact information. I will contact you as soon as possible."
Jiang Linxue paused for a moment, then asked with a strange look, "In the future, Paradise... plans to open many auction houses?"
"In fact, it's not just the auction house... the park also wants to open many academies."
Qin Fang said frankly.
"Academy...?" This was clearly something Jiang Linxue hadn't expected.
Xu Bo was taken aback and asked, "So... the academies of Tieya and Lingtai... are really run by Paradise behind the scenes?"
"If it's an investment in a theme park... then that's certainly true," Qin Fang admitted frankly.
"Why?" Jiang Linxue couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
Clearly, in her mind, there were quite a few mysterious organizations like Paradise in the entire Xia Kingdom, but running an academy...
Given the other party's identity as a 'mysterious organization'... it's really too incongruous.
Qin Fang smiled: "A long time ago, before the great changes... Xia Kingdom implemented compulsory education, and all children had access to education. But times have changed, and now it seems that no one is running compulsory education anymore. Paradise's power is limited, and it cannot yet expel the alien races from Earth, but we still hope to do what we can."
Qin Fang's words caused a slight change in the expression of Jiang Linxue and many other epic figures.
"compulsory education?"
Jiang Linxue was somewhat dazed.
"You don't charge money?"
Qin Fang remained silent, while Xu Bo frowned and said in a low voice, "It's not that we don't accept them... it's just that we don't accept them from families with non-working members. Families with working members, however, will be charged the normal rate..."
Clearly, he had managed to gather some intelligence in Iron Fang City.
Qin Fang smiled: "Everyone is an ordinary person before they awaken, and they are the most numerous. Ordinary people are the foundation of humanity and its hope. But unfortunately... this world is not very friendly to ordinary people."
Many people at the scene remained silent.
People from the Guozhu family probably don't understand. They've enjoyed the best resources since birth.
But the members of the combat division around them fell into deep thought... Many of them were the only professional in their families.
Naturally, I have also experienced a time when there was no one working in my family.
...That was indeed very tough.
A family might not earn in a month what a professional could earn by running two or three dungeons.
Jiang Linxue fell silent. After a long while, she let out a soft sigh: "I understand... We will go back and discuss a plan. We will inform you then... I hope you will not go back on your word."
"Miss Jiang can rest assured on this point. You represent the official authorities. Since I have said that the amusement park will set up an auction house and an academy in the future... what good would it do me to offend you?"
Qin Fang asked with a smile.
Jiang Linxue remained silent for a moment, then finally let out a soft sigh: "There's an auction house in Tianshuang City, right? I'll keep an eye on it."
“That would be perfect. It just so happens that there will be an auction in Tianshuang City on the 30th of this month... and I happen to have a few scrolls on hand. If the young masters and ladies of the Guozhu family are willing to do me the honor, I can also take out these scrolls... then, it will be up to each of us to prove ourselves.”
Qin Fang smiled.
Li Yao and the other scions of noble families narrowed their eyes immediately, and Li Yao couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a scroll in your possession right now?"
The enormous figure of Qin Fang glanced at him, smiled, and casually pulled out several black scrolls from the void.
"Yes."
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to those black scrolls.
Then……
Their breathing became rapid.
We've been talking about the job change altar. Their ideal scenario is to obtain information about the job change altar.
And now... the item that truly leads to the job change altar is right before our eyes!
It instantly stunned everyone!
...In their eyes, that was something that, once obtained, guaranteed them a permanent epic class!
Then, the eyes of these scions of noble families were fixed on the black scroll, and their pupils began to flash wildly.
Qin Fang saw all of this, smiled without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, the thing in his hand disappeared.
Then he smiled and said, "Well then... let's call it a day. I'll wait for you all to come up with a solution for cooperation. Everyone... until we meet again."
After saying this, before anyone from the Guozhu family could speak again, Qin Fang's enormous phantom gradually disappeared into the world, eventually vanishing without a trace.
A gentle, luminous sound rang out.
"Goodbye, everyone."
After the members of the amusement park nodded slightly to the epic-level professionals, the next moment, teleportation scrolls appeared in their hands, which they tore open one by one.
Amidst bursts of white light...
More than forty members of the amusement park all disappeared on the spot.
...
The entire amusement park has been vacated.
The scene fell silent.
Member of the Professional Warfare Division, scion of a prominent family, with numerous epic stories...
No one spoke.
His gaze was somewhat fixed...
Obviously.
The black scrolls that Qin Fang finally took out attracted all their attention and focus.
After a long time.
"Director Tan."
Jiang Linxue's voice suddenly rang out calmly.
Tan Ci, who was in a daze, snapped out of it and quickly replied respectfully, "Yes!"
"What I said today must not be disseminated. Please arrange for all members to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Jiang Linxue looked at him.
Tan Ci felt a jolt of realization and immediately understood that the other party was referring to the enormous secret of the Fallen Realm.
He quickly replied, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we will absolutely not spread this!"
Jiang Linxue nodded, then looked at the direct descendants of the national pillar whose expressions were constantly changing. Her eyes flickered slightly, and her expression was not very pleasant.
...That boss is very thoughtful.
At the last moment, he took out those scrolls... and left a way to contact him.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the amusement park auction in Tianshuang City on the 30th of this month is likely to be quite a spectacle.
Moreover, someone will definitely contact him secretly.
Auction... Academy... Black Scroll... Contact Information...
By piecing together this information, we can roughly deduce that the park owner has considerable ambitions.
Is this an attempt to use this opportunity to establish connections with the Guozhu family?
...To drive out the foreign races?
Jiang Linxue frowned.
But in the end, he sighed inwardly.
...This is an open conspiracy by the other side.
Even if she knew what he was thinking, there was nothing she could do to stop him.
She glanced at Jiang Zicheng, who was also somewhat dazed beside her, and felt a little helpless.
...She couldn't even control Jiang Zicheng.
Not to mention the direct descendants of the other eight families.
"Alright, let's go back now."
That was all she could say in the end.
The group snapped out of their daze, responded, and some left the dungeon town in silence.
Outside the town... a large number of professionals were peeking inside...
They were blocked outside by the barrier, which suddenly disappeared. They saw and heard nothing during the whole process, so they are naturally very curious about what happened inside.
When the members of the Combat Division came out one by one, they all fell silent. Some people who were familiar with the members of the Combat Division approached them to ask questions, but all of them kept quiet, just shook their heads, and did not reveal anything.
But this made these people's gossipy hearts really ache.
In the end, the entire War Division and others left, and the professionals began to discuss amongst themselves.
"What exactly happened?"
"I don't know..."
"The park's members have all left..."
"But judging from the scene... it looks like a fight has broken out! Wow, it's quite a commotion..."
They saw the traces left by the 'sparring', and everyone's expression was moved.
The marks left on the ground were astonishing.
This only fueled their imaginations...
...
"Everyone, the first phase of the special mission is complete. Next, we're heading to Tianshuang City... We won't be gathering here anymore. Please depart on your own and arrive within three days."
Valve Light said something in the group chat.
The members quickly responded.
"receive!"
"OKK!~"
"no problem!"
They all responded.
Qin Xing replied with a "okay".
Then I turned my head and looked in one direction...
His eyes flickered as he recalled the sparring session they had just had...
Unexpectedly, the profession assigned to me by the boss is just as formidable as that of a normally awakened epic-level professional.
It is even stronger than a considerable portion of them!
...Job Change Altar...
That must have been something the boss made up, right?
Even the Guozhu family has never heard of this place. Just who is the boss?
And... is the terrifying situation that Jiang Linxue described true or false?
If this is true, then humanity is indeed in grave danger, and could face extinction at any moment.
Qin Xing frowned, and after a long while, he shook his head with a wry smile.
...As a gang member, my biggest thought a few months ago was to kill the leader of the rival gang and then establish my own big gang.
Now they're actually starting to worry about the life and death of humanity?
...Things are finally getting better...
Qin Xing could only shake his head in the end.
Forget it, let's leave this kind of thing to the boss, someone important. As for myself... I'll just do whatever the boss tells me to do.
From the current perspective, joining the amusement park truly has only benefits and no drawbacks.
Although the boss has the power to kill them with a single thought.
But as things stand... the boss isn't that kind of person.
He treated his employees with gentleness and tolerance.
Most importantly...
He really does give you benefits!
In just two months, he went from a Tier 1 ordinary professional to a Tier 3 epic professional.
All I did was complete a few tasks assigned by the boss that weren't too difficult, and weren't even dangerous.
As a result, it has grown to this extent.
It's foreseeable that... as long as he works diligently at the amusement park, the boss will definitely treat him well!
With this in mind, he completely abandoned any other thoughts and focused solely on following his boss.
...Once you miss out on a boss like that, you'll never find another one.
Qin Xing thought to himself.
Without further hesitation, he took out his phone and began checking a map of Xia Country, searching for the location of Tianshuang City...
...
In fact, Qin Xing wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Although no one mentioned it in the group chat, this incident touched all the members of the amusement park.
The initial anxiety and doubt gradually dissipated after spending a few days with the other members.
They clearly recognized the benefits of joining the park.
Most importantly... having such a reliable group of members as companions is a very good experience.
This special operation has undoubtedly fostered a sense of trust and belonging among the park's members.
This transforms the word 'paradise' from an abstract, mysterious, and unknown symbol into a collection of real people.
...Many people found they got along well after spending a few days together, and some even developed a friendship with each other.
With mixed feelings and various thoughts, they set off on their journeys.
...
"How's the progress in Tianshuang City?"
Qin Fang is unaware of what the members are thinking.
After ending his call with Jiang Linxue and the others, he contacted Lin Fan.
"It's basically handled," Lin Fan replied immediately, then asked, "What's the situation over there? Did a fight eventually break out?"
Qin Fang thought for a moment and said, "Things are a bit complicated..."
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled Xiaoyou into the group chat.
"elder brother?"
Xiao You's voice rang out.
"Well, there's something I want to tell you..."
Immediately, Qin Fang told Lin Fan and Xiao You what Jiang Linxue had said and how the situation had developed.
After hearing this, Lin Fan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "So there's such a thing... The Land of Fallen Boundaries..."
Xiao You was also somewhat shocked: "This..."
"We don't know if Jiang Linxue is telling the truth or not yet, Yan, you don't need to worry about that for now. Our first contact with the Guozhu family is going more optimistically than we expected, so let's take this opportunity to truly establish contact with them... If nothing unexpected happens, quite a few people will definitely contact you privately in the next couple of days. You can handle it as you see fit, and at the same time, you can also ask them about information about the Fallen Realm. For example... how to get there."
"Okay, I understand."
“However, it’s not safe to just listen to what they say, so Xiaoyou… take a few members of the assassin team to Shengjing and try to find out what the situation is like in the Land of Fallen Boundaries through other channels.”
Qin Fang made the arrangements.
The Land of Fallen Boundaries... though it wasn't shown.
However, the information brought by Jiang Linxue still put considerable pressure on Qin Fang.
...The boss's profession guarantees that as long as he has enough time, he will definitely become stronger step by step.
But the prerequisite is... enough time.
Now that the situation in the Land of Fallen Boundaries has occurred, if everything is true...
Then it's really hard to say how much time we have left.
Qin Fang wasn't one to wait; he needed to figure out the situation in the Land of Fallen Boundaries as soon as possible.
Is there an opportunity for the current amusement park to intervene?
...The Land of Fallen Boundaries did indeed bring him a sense of urgency that had been absent for a long time!
