Chapter 1350 Shocking Price
"As a military governor, why doesn't he stay in the military governor's mansion and run around outside all day? What's the meaning of this?" Zhou Wen frowned.
He had absolutely no interest in being in charge of Luoyang. Even if An Tianzuo really made him the governor and gave Luoyang to him, Zhou Wen would find it troublesome, not to mention helping him guard Luoyang. Zhou Wen was really reluctant to do so.
An Sheng said solemnly, "The governor has entered the holy land."
"Enter the holy land? Wasn't he already at the terror level? How did he enter the holy land?" Zhou Wen was suddenly surprised and asked quickly.
"Mrs. Lan has always been worried about the professor's life and death, and she has hardly had a good night's sleep in the past few years. The governor really couldn't bear to see Mrs. Lan go on like this, and had no other choice, so he planned to pretend to be a saint and enter the holy land first to see the situation, hoping to find out something." An Sheng told Zhou Wen what had happened.
"Even if he can transform into the appearance of that saint, his body is still his own and he still can't enter the holy land. What's the point of pretending like this?" Zhou Wen asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about this. The governor pretends to be a saint, not just because he looks like one. We also used some special means, and the governor has successfully entered the holy land. During this period of time, I hope that Master Wen can help stay in Luoyang. In fact, just like last time, the general trivial matters can be left to us subordinates to do, and it won't take up too much of your time." An Sheng said.
"Okay." Zhou Wen agreed.
Since An Tianzuo took the risk to investigate the old principal's affairs, it was only right for him to guard Luoyang, not to mention that his relatives and friends were here.
"Master Wen, do you think we should deal with the urgent matters first?" An Sheng said.
"What's the important matter? Is someone coming to the door?" Zhou Wen was stunned. When he was guarding Luoyang last time, nothing important happened.
"Not really, but representatives from various major forces all hope to meet you, Young Master Wen, and hope to ask you to help them get on the rankings. Of course, there are also many people who want to find out how you, Young Master Wen, managed to dodge the disaster-level bullets. After all, such an ability is really amazing." An Sheng recounted the story.
It was An Tianzuo who held those people back before, but now that An Tianzuo is gone, Zhou Wen has to deal with these things on his own.
"I don't have the time to help them get on the list. Let them all go home." Zhou Wen said.
"Ahem, Master Wen, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea, is it?" An Sheng said hesitantly.
"Why?" Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng and asked.
"When they came, they all brought big gifts. Even if we don't want to see them, it's not good to send them back, right?" An Sheng said.
"What did you receive? There should be one for me, right?" Zhou Wen asked.
An Sheng seemed to be well prepared and took out a list for Zhou Wen to see.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this. Judging from the list alone, the gifts were really generous. People knew that the An family needed Yuanjing, so they basically gave tons of them.
Of course, one or two tons of Yuanjing would not be of much help in settling down, but as many people sent them, a lot of them accumulated.
"You sold me out just for this little bit of Yuanjing?" Zhou Wen said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not just for this little bit of Yuanjing. The main reason is that even the six major families have sent people here. If we offend them all, life will be difficult for Anjia in the future. You know, with the current environment on Earth, Luoyang can only produce a limited amount of things. Many things have to be imported from other places. For example, the most commonly used toilet paper, Luoyang can no longer produce it itself and can only rely on imports. Salt also has to be imported. If we offend everyone, we won't die, but every aspect of our life will be very troubled..."
After finishing speaking, An Sheng took out another piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Wen: "Also, this is the price they offered. I think even if you refuse, you should take a look at it first."
"What price can they offer? They can't give me a fear-level companion egg, right?" Zhou Wen took the paper and looked at it, his eyes almost popping out.
"Is this true?" Zhou Wen asked An Sheng while looking at it.
The high price given above was really beyond Zhou Wen's expectations.
There was a wealthy man who offered a whopping price of one thousand tons of Yuan Crystals just to get Zhou Wen to help him get on the list.
There is also the Zhang family among the six major families, and the price offered is ten Dragon-Restoring Pills, plus one thousand Rejuvenating Pills, and a Fate-Defying Talisman.
Although there are no fear-level companion eggs, the combined value of these is no less than that of fear-level companion eggs.
The Shenglong Pill and Huisheng Pill are both mythical-level pills with very good therapeutic effects. Although the Huichun Pill is of a lower level, it is also very effective in treating external injuries.
The most precious thing is the fate-defying talisman, which is said to be able to change one's destiny.
Of course, changing one's destiny is just an exaggeration, but if a person who loses every time he gambles uses a fate-reversing talisman to go to a casino, he can win every time he gambles. This effect is already extremely incredible.
Liuyun was able to steal the Demonic Armor Tiger Soul General by relying on the power of the Fate-Defying Talisman.
I heard that these were left behind by the Zhang family's ancestor, Tianshi. Now no one knows how to make them, and there are only a few left in the Zhang family.
The prices offered by other major families and some local wealthy families were also ridiculously high. There was actually a family that offered a fear-level companion egg, and that was the God Family in the West District.
If Zhou Wendu helps them get on the list, they will immediately become rich.
"Of course it's all true. As long as you nod, they are even willing to pay first." An Sheng said.
"Don't they know that being on the list is useless and only the first place can make you the final winner?" Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng with some confusion and asked.
"Of course they know, but their goal was not to get the Venus companion pet. First, even if they can't get the Venus companion pet, the metal eggs they get after clearing the level can also hatch a companion pet in the future, but the level will definitely be lower than the Venus companion pet. We don't know what will be hatched now. If a fear-level companion pet comes out, it won't be a loss. Even if it doesn't, it won't be a loss either. They came here for the reputation of being on the list." An Sheng explained.
"What's the use of fame?" Zhou Wen didn't understand. What's the use of fame if you don't have the ability?
"It's very useful. Do you know what we lack most now?" An Sheng asked.
"High-level companion pet?" Zhou Wen guessed casually.
"No, what we lack most now is people." An Sheng explained: "It's not just us, all the major forces are short of people. Because the dimensional field is breaking more and more, the isolation between places is getting more and more serious, and people are constantly sacrificing. For people like us in Luoyang, it's already considered good, but the number of people has been declining. If this continues for a long time, the population of Luoyang will only decrease, the city will be depressed, the economy will decline, and all walks of life will face survival difficulties. By then, I'm afraid we really can only go together to fight dimensional creatures because there is nothing else to do. And then the more we fight, the fewer there will be. After all, it's a job that risks life and death, and no one can guarantee that there won't be accidents."
"Although we have begun formulating policies to encourage childbirth, the effects are too slow to show. It will take at least a decade or more for us to see initial results. The quickest way is to attract people from other smaller places. Luoyang, for example, is relatively well-known and attracts many people. To other places, attracting people isn't so easy. But to be able to make it onto the rankings like this, no matter how it got there, at least people nearby will know that there is such a place and that it has the financial resources to hire a great person like you. If they consider relocating, they will naturally choose that place."
An Sheng smiled and continued, "Of course, they will have other considerations. For example, the six major families each have their own thoughts, and I can't guess for sure."
"So what do you think, should I take these jobs?" Zhou Wen asked Ansheng.
Good night.
