Chapter 229 Seven People, The Purpose of Paradise, Transactions and Favors
Time slips away bit by bit.
The people from the Guozhu family on the tenth floor sat in the spacious conference hall with furrowed brows, glancing at the door every now and then.
"When are we finally going to get it? And what are we being made to wait for?!"
Li Yao couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and loudly asked a park employee who was waiting on the side.
The park staff smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Please don't be impatient, esteemed guests. Butler Faguang said half an hour, and less than twenty minutes have passed. Please wait patiently. As for what we're waiting for... Butler Faguang said the time is up, and you'll find out for yourselves."
"you!……"
He wanted to say something.
Xu Bo, standing nearby, said, "What's the point of asking him? Obviously, he doesn't know either... Anyway, we've already waited this long, so let's just wait a little longer."
Jiang Linxue sat in a chair, sipping tea, her brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.
Li Yao took two steps in the courtyard, snorted coldly, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, then I'll wait. I want to see what tricks Paradise is up to! If Paradise dares to mess with us... humph!"
At this point, Li Yao fell silent again, and then felt even more depressed.
...If he were to face other people, he would naturally have plenty of methods, being from a prominent family.
Facing the amusement park...
He really didn't know what to do.
...Those forty-odd epics, are they just a joke?
And so time passed once more.
Finally, half an hour passed.
Li Yao kept checking the time. Half an hour had passed, and he couldn't wait a minute longer. He stood up abruptly: "Where's that Valve Light? Let him come out! Half an hour has passed, and then what?"
He looked at the staff member from before.
The staff member was taken aback and before he could speak, the door not far away was opened.
Everyone instinctively looked towards the doorway.
Upon seeing the newcomer, many people in the crowd paused slightly, then showed expressions of astonishment.
"Yu Qiao?"
"Xueqing?"
"Qingfeng?"
Many people recognized the people who walked in.
Because... they are all from the Guozhu family.
Zhang Yuhe looked at Zhang Yuqiao, whose face was clearly showing some excitement, and asked in confusion, "Yuqiao?...What's wrong with you?"
He was clearly puzzled.
Because he and Zhang Yuqiao had been together all night.
But it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized... that he really hadn't seen him since the auction ended?
...What did he go to do?
Zhang Yuhe was taken aback.
Everyone else was also a little confused.
Because these people are all from different families, and their situations are similar to Zhang Yuqiao's.
The newcomers were silent for a moment. Finally, Zhang Yuqiao let out a soft sigh and said to Zhang Yuhe, "Brother, let's go back first...we'll talk about it when we get back."
"Um?"
Zhang Yuhe was stunned for a moment.
But then, as if realizing something, his expression changed instantly, and he stared at Zhang Yuqiao.
"Yu Qiao, you..."
Zhang Yuqiao hesitated for a moment, then finally took a deep breath: "Yes, I am already an epic class."
As soon as he said that, everyone instinctively looked at Guozhu.
Then, they realized something and looked sharply at the group of people behind Zhang Yuqiao.
The group of people looked somewhat uncomfortable, but after a moment of silence, they all nodded slightly.
"We are epic too."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Yao's eyes widened in disbelief.
Jiang Linxue also looked surprised. She looked into the crowd... and there was a girl from her Jiang family among them.
She is her cousin.
The other person pursed their lips, and after noticing her gaze, a hint of panic flashed in their eyes before they subconsciously looked away.
"What exactly happened?!"
Li Yao stared intently at them: "Why have you become part of an epic?"
No one answered him for a moment.
And there were no members of the Li family among this group of people.
A figure appeared silently, and a gentle voice rang out: "Now, everyone, do you have any other questions?"
Everyone instinctively looked at him.
Li Yao spoke first, his face full of resentment, asking, "Why them?"
"The specific reason... I'm sorry, that's a trade secret and I can't disclose it. Why don't you ask the person involved directly, Mr. Li?"
Valve Light smiled gently.
"But I have already done what I promised at the Paradise... All seven scrolls were given to the Guozhu Family. Our boss said that there will be a scroll auction every three months from now on... Those of you who didn't get a scroll this time don't need to worry. As long as the job change altar keeps appearing, you will all get one sooner or later. Of course... if you have a better way to cooperate, you can also mention it to us... We can discuss it."
Do any of you have any other questions?
The valve light asked gently.
Are there any other questions?
I have a ton of questions!
But when the words were about to come out, they were swallowed back down...
The expressions of the members of the national pillar families changed, and the scene was quiet as everyone watched the seven people who would become epic figures.
Their expressions were all different.
Zhang Yuhe's expression changed, but after a long silence, he stood up and said, "...Let's go back first."
He looked at Zhang Yuqiao with a complicated expression.
Zhang Yuqiao remained silent, nodded, and the Zhang family left immediately.
The Zhang family started, and the other prominent families had different expressions, but eventually they all left one after another.
No one spoke.
...They weren't fools; they knew things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Clearly... Paradise and the seven members of their clan had already reached some kind of agreement before the auction.
Li Yao's guess was correct; the spot was indeed predetermined.
The only unexpected thing was that... the pre-selected spot ultimately went to one of their own people.
It's just that it wasn't them...
Many people looked very grim, such as Li Yao.
Li Yao was one of the few who refused to leave.
"Why is it that all seven families have it, but my Li family doesn't?!"
He looked at the valve light with resentment.
Fa Guang smiled and said, "Because there are only seven scrolls in total, and there are nine aristocratic families, so there will always be two short... Why can't it be the Li family?"
"you!"
"Young Master Li, don't be in such a hurry. There will be another opportunity in three months. Perhaps by then, it will belong to the Li family?"
Valve Light smiled.
Li Yao's words were instantly cut off.
His face turned bright red, but looking at the masked Fa Guang, he gritted his teeth for a long time before finally saying, "Let's go!"
He was furious, turned around, and left with his men.
Besides Li Yao, there was another company that did not receive a spot.
It's the Xu family.
Xu Bo's expression shifted, but in the end he said nothing and left with the Li family.
Soon after, the conference room on the tenth floor was empty.
Valve's form vanished without a trace.
...
"Tell me, what happened?"
The Zhang family went downstairs, and Zhang Yuhe's expression remained grim throughout.
The people who were traveling with him didn't look too good either.
They glanced at Zhang Yuqiao every now and then, their eyes filled with anger.
But even though I wanted to say something, I forced myself to hold it back.
After they went downstairs and got into the car, Zhang Yuhe closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.
Zhang Yuqiao calmly said, "I contacted the amusement park eight days ago."
Zhang Yuhe was startled and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yuqiao.
Eight days ago... that was almost the day he returned to the Zhang family and told them about what happened in Luoye City.
Zhang Yuqiao actually contacted the amusement park so early?
"Then?"
"Then five days ago, the park owner contacted me... He asked me to prepare 300 million yuan and promised to give me a spot."
Zhang Yuqiao said calmly.
Zhang Yuhe was stunned, incredulous: "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Why?"
"He said... I owe him a favor from Paradise."
Human relationships...
Zhang Yuhe was stunned.
Then, he looked stunned, but gradually he understood.
...The nine powerful families have joined forces, demanding that Paradise grant them a spot. Paradise has two choices: agree or refuse.
But refusing would obviously not benefit Paradise... The benefits of the Altar of Job Change are too great, and considering what Jiang Linxue said before, if Paradise really refuses outright, it will undoubtedly be in direct conflict with the Nine Great Pillar Families... It's hard to say what will happen then.
Even the old man might get involved.
So the park agreed.
And that is indeed the case.
But agreeing is one thing... but how could Paradise be willing to just give away something that could be transformed into an epic class?
Because this is clearly of no benefit to the amusement park.
So the other party came up with a plan: an auction... using the quota in exchange for some benefits.
But clearly, the other party's thoughts go far beyond that.
Because he not only wants the benefits...
You also need to do me a favor!
Even a fool would know that such a spot would be highly competitive within the Guozhu family.
Each aristocratic family has several branches, and it's impossible for each branch to have the same level of power.
Take the Zhang family for example... His father was the old man's third son, and after getting married, he naturally became the third son.
His older brother is the only epic figure in the Zhang family's generation.
Therefore, it is natural that the third branch of the family has a stronger influence than the first, second, fourth, and fifth branches of the family...
In this situation, if the spot falls to someone within a family, then the person most likely to get it is...
It must be him.
...because his brother would definitely help him fight for it.
With the support of his eldest brother, the only one of his generation to achieve such a legendary feat, the first, second, fourth, and fifth wives could not compete with him.
In this situation, if he normally photographed the scroll...would he remember the good things about Paradise?
The answer is obvious.
Won't.
Because this is a normal transaction.
But things are different now...
The amusement park didn't give the spot to the Zhang family; instead, it gave it directly to Zhang Yuqiao.
Zhang Yuqiao is from the second wife's family. His father, who is also Zhang Yuhe's second uncle, is just an elite professional.
Although both are from prominent families, their influence within the Zhang family is actually very limited.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Yuqiao must have known that once the scroll reached the Zhang family, he would not have a share.
Under these circumstances, the boss contacted him directly and clearly stated that he would give him the spot...
So, what Zhang Yuqiao must be thinking?
gratitude!
I would be extremely grateful!
Let alone Zhang Yuqiao, if you were in Zhang Yuhe's shoes, he would be extremely grateful!
...I dare not say anything like I would do anything for the park owner in the future.
If he encounters Paradise again... will he still be an enemy of Paradise?
Zhang Yuhe fell silent.
After a long while, he gave a bitter smile...
This model is clearly very unfriendly to him personally.
For the amusement park, there was no better way to handle it.
Not only did they make a fortune, they also turned the scrolls into favors... and they couldn't even bring themselves to say a word against it.
At the same time... this paradise also became connected with the epic tales of all the direct descendants of the pillar families of the nation...
They have formed a very deep bond!
The more Zhang Yuhe thought about it, the more pronounced the bitter smile on his face became...
The other party's choice of Zhang Yuqiao was clearly a well-considered one.
If the other party continues to choose this approach... then who knows when it will be his turn...
Zhang Yuhe figured it out, and the others around him obviously figured it out too; they were all somewhat bewildered and confused...
Zhang Yuhe glanced at them; these were from other households, and they had clearly figured things out as well.
I bet they're regretting not contacting the amusement park right now, aren't they?
Zhang Yuhe remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh: "Congratulations..."
Zhang Yuqiao pursed her lips and finally nodded gently: "Thank you, brother..."
Zhang Yuqiao is three years younger than him.
Looking at his cousin, who had been his shadow since childhood but had now become an epic figure, Zhang Yuhe felt a mix of emotions.
But in the end, he sighed softly to himself.
In any case... the Zhang family has gained another epic figure.
Even though it wasn't him, it's still good...
"Tell me, what job did you get?"
Zhang Yuhe stopped thinking about it and instead asked Zhang Yuqiao with some curiosity.
Zhang Yuqiao's eyes also brightened slightly, and then she took a deep breath: "Soldier..."
"An epic-level warrior..."
The others looked at Zhang Yuqiao with envy.
...
Things that Zhang Yuhe can understand.
The scions of the Guozhu family are not fools, and naturally they can all understand this.
Jiang Linxue looked at the girl sitting next to her with her head down, finally sighed softly, and gently patted her head: "Didn't the boss say anything else?"
The other person paused for a moment, then quickly shook their head, indicating that they did not.
"I understand... What profession did you awaken?" Jiang Linxue asked in a low voice.
The other person's eyes lit up slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, they whispered, "Support..."
"Support?"
Jiang Linxue's eyes lit up immediately.
Support...
Lands of Fallen Boundaries are extremely rare!
"good……"
She smiled...
...
"Damn paradise...damn paradise!!!"
Inside the Li family's car, Li Yao was throwing a tantrum.
The passengers in the car were all talking at once about what had just happened, and the Li family members had roughly figured out the purpose of the amusement park.
Li Yao's father was an epic figure in the previous generation of the Li family, so his family was very influential within the Li family.
Therefore, Li Yao was very much looking forward to this auction... Once he won the bid, there was a high probability that it would end up in his hands.
But now, all hope has been dashed.
What angered him even more was that... through everyone's analysis, he realized that... even if there were a next time, it would most likely not be his turn?
This enraged him.
Especially after reaching this conclusion, he keenly noticed that the eyes of his cousins around him lit up, and even a hint of anticipation appeared...
They clearly realized that the spot three months from now would most likely go to them.
...This only fueled his anger!
Damn it, damn it all!!!
Li Yao's eyes turned red with anger.
……no.
The auction method means that all the spots are controlled by the park.
How could a prestigious family like ours be led by the nose by such an organization?
The methods of cooperation must change!
Otherwise, even if he spends the money, he still won't get what he wants, which is definitely not what he wants to see!
But what should we do?
His mind started racing...
...
Qin Fang stopped paying attention to the situation of Guo Zhu's children.
He could roughly guess what they were thinking.
But it has nothing to do with him anymore.
Of course, those epic writers probably couldn't have imagined this even if they racked their brains... what they thought of was just one of the reasons.
For Qin Fang, the more important reason was...
The main reason he chose those seven people was... that they all possessed epic potential.
He doesn't need to spend any extra reputation points.
"Brother, are you really planning to continue giving them to them in three months? There are only three or four people with real potential left, and some of them are still with the same company..."
Qin Xiaoyou and Qin Fang were the only people in the office, so Qin Xiaoyou asked out of curiosity.
Before Qin Fang could speak, the tea room door opened.
Bai Yangyang and Lin Fan walked in.
