Firstly, Shen Qian's words were somewhat inexplicable. Even if he wielded considerable personal power, it was unrealistic to expect him to restrain everyone's fighting with just a few words.
Secondly, many people still don't take Shen Qian's "hypocritical act" seriously, after all, to be honest, Shen Qian was the one who killed the most people on the scene... even if it wasn't his fault.
But for Shen Qian to say such a thing would naturally lack persuasiveness.
Shen Qian seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction, but remained unmoved. He simply continued, "I have broken down the 'Mountain of Books,' and the gains have actually exceeded all of your expectations."
The crowd suddenly fell silent again.
"Besides those eight-star and nine-star 'literary positions,' there are actually a large number of four-star to seven-star 'literary positions,' well, probably in the six figures..."
He said calmly before sinking in.
Wow!
The crowd erupted in uproar, everyone staring in disbelief at Chen Qian.
Six figures!
What does this mean?
The number of martial artists entering the "Sea of Learning" this time is only six figures. Although 100,000 and 900,000 are obviously not in the same league, who would care about such details at this time?
Their minds were reeling; there were hundreds of thousands of "civilian positions" ranging from four to seven stars before the sinking...
It is worth noting that many people fight tooth and nail in the "sea of learning," risking their lives rather than backing down, all for the sake of vying for a position that even includes the three-star "literary rank."
Even Qu Bai and the others were quite shocked. Although they guessed that Shen Qian still had a large number of "literary positions", who would dare to think of such a number!
“I will not keep these ‘positions’ for myself, but rather distribute them to the right people.”
Shen Qian's words once again stirred up everyone's excitement.
Before sinking, was he actually planning to distribute all these "civil posts" to them?
However, before everyone could get completely excited, Shen Qian spoke up again, "Of course, not now, and not here... Although I don't have many 'literary positions', it's impossible for me to take care of everyone. Besides, it seems a bit unfair for me, Shen Qian, to decide what is 'suitable'."
Hearing Shen Qian's words, everyone calmed down a bit and then subconsciously nodded.
The fundamental reason why people didn't object was naturally because Chen Qian had already explained that these "civil service positions" would be distributed to everyone. With this foundation, the rest was simply a matter of what method to use.
“My current idea is that I will take these ‘literary titles’ out of the sea of learning… Some people may question whether ‘literary titles’ can be taken away, but I have my own methods before I sink, and I have no reason to lie to everyone.”
Shen Qian said calmly, "At that time, I will hand over these 'civil service positions' to the Martial Arts Department. After you leave, you only need to register with the Martial Arts Department. I believe that the strong people in the Martial Arts Department will allocate these 'civil service positions' reasonably according to each person's actual situation."
The crowd started discussing it again, but most people still tended to agree with Shen Qian's opinion.
Thanks to Wu Wei's persistent efforts, among the nine departments of China, only the Martial Arts Department still enjoys extremely high prestige among martial artists.
They wouldn't worry about these "literary positions" being embezzled by others, since among the martial artists qualified to enter the "sea of learning," even if it came down to connections, those who could obtain "literary positions" would definitely be given priority.
Qu Bai, who witnessed the whole thing, remarked with emotion, "After this incident, Shen Qian's prestige among martial artists has truly been established."
"This is not the most terrifying thing."
Taishi Wuwei said with a complicated look in his eyes, "What's even more terrifying is that 'literary rank' is equivalent to opportunity, and opportunity is related to fortune. Shen Qian dispersed these opportunities, but invisibly gathered a large wave of fortune."
"If I remember correctly, he also developed the 'Creation' pill formula. He's trying to gather half of China's fortune into his own body!"
Bai Fei clicked his tongue.
"Regardless of Shen Qian's purpose, this is a truly good thing. Right now, there are still many martial artists fighting for 'civil service positions' in various places. Once this news spreads, I'm afraid most people will lose the will to fight. After all, fighting to the death is not as good as waiting for a 'civil service position' to be assigned, so what's the point of fighting?"
Qu Bai smiled and said, "This alone is enough to make him a man of immeasurable merit, and any amount of good fortune he receives is well-deserved!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After finishing the matter of assigning "civil posts," Chen Qian turned back to the crowd and said, "I plan to go into the cave to explore. You all stay here to maintain order. I will be back as soon as possible."
"Let's go with you."
Qu Bai and the others spoke up one after another.
"No need. This cave leads somewhere unknown. If there's no danger inside, your presence won't help me. If there is danger inside that I can't handle, then your presence will be even more useless."
He immediately refused before sinking.
Everyone was speechless, because what Shen Qian said made perfect sense.
Only Tantai Qin persisted, saying, "I can help you."
Shen Qian glanced at the other party. Considering that Tantai Qin's strength was indeed not on the same level as everyone else, he was about to agree when, for some reason, a sudden tremor ran through his heart, and he shivered inexplicably.
In a daze, Shen Qian seemed to see a scene where Tantai Qin was swallowed up by an indescribable, terrifying darkness.
After a slight pause, Shen Qian solemnly refused, "No, you shouldn't go either."
"Why?" Tantai Qin frowned.
“I have a very bad feeling. It seems to be caused by the ‘omniscient’ position… I’m not too sure, but anyway, you’d better stay here so as not to distract me.”
He smiled bitterly before sinking in.
He didn't know whether the image was just a premonition or the actual event that might happen.
