Upon hearing this question, the fat man and the others were stunned. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that such a talent was extremely rare, and could even be more than qualified for the territory of an established lord. So what did they have that would attract such a person? Why would someone want to serve in their territory?
“Let me tell you about the situation in our territory first! The three of us are all high-level lords, and we are this year’s Rookie Kings, the first rookie lords to emerge from the trial space. As an Awakened One, you must know the significance of that!” Ye Chen replied. Upon hearing the words “Rookie Kings,” the other party was immediately shocked. Being able to stand out among so many rookie lords was enough to prove his strength. He never expected that the person who came to recruit today would be this year’s Rookie King.
"These are the achievements on the surface. Let me tell you something you don't know! My initial clan is the Silver Moon Elf clan, and its level should be equivalent to that of the Void Elves. In addition, I currently have four clan nests in my territory, and their levels are no lower than those of the Silver Moon Elf clans. I also have a Dragon Nest that I haven't loaded yet!"
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, a hint of surprise finally appeared on the girl's usually placid face.
"Four? Aren't you a new lord? Aren't you afraid your territory will collapse if you load so many clan nests?" the girl exclaimed. A new lord's territory is not large enough to load so many clan nests. Two is already the limit. More clan nests need to be added slowly as the territory expands.
"Collapse? Do you know how big his territory is? He is the first person in thousands of years to become a formal lord with a planetary territory. While he was still in the trial space, he had already transformed his territory into a planet!" Upon hearing the other party's question, Jian Mengyi immediately spoke up, looking at the other party with displeasure.
"Star? Planet?" The girl's mouth gaped open, her pretty face filled with shock. This was truly beyond her expectations. She might not know much about the strength of a clan, or how strong a new king was, but this unprecedented event was enough to make Ye Chen go down in history. If she could become his Awakener, she would surely leave a strong mark on history as well.
"Yes! A planet! But it's all luck. It would be very difficult to replicate it!" Ye Chen said with a faint smile. Hearing someone else say this was far more shocking than hearing it himself.
"This is the general situation in my territory. As for your treatment, the standard treatment is fine. You can make any special requests, and we can discuss them. But I only sign lifetime agreements, which are permanent agreements!" Ye Chen continued.
After leaving the Huazhong Awakener University yesterday, he discussed with Fatty and Wang's father that there were too many secrets in their territory, so they simply didn't bother signing a time-limited agreement and instead signed a permanent agreement. If you wanted to come, you could come; if you didn't want to come, so be it. Anyway, with their own clans, it was only a matter of time before they developed.
"A permanent agreement?" The girl was taken aback and immediately found herself in a dilemma. A permanent agreement was no different from a contract of servitude. Once she agreed, she would be completely tied to the other party's ship. Unless the lord died or the territory collapsed, she could never betray them.
Such agreements require swearing an oath on the flame of hope, and no one can break them unless you become a true god.
"Yes! We can give you a few minutes to think about it, but not much time!" Ye Chen nodded, then ignored the other party and looked down at the documents in his hand.
Xia Qingyi possesses the talent of turning stone into gold, capable of transforming ordinary jade into metal. This is not magic, but rather a fundamental change in the structure of matter. She can even convert parts of her own body into metal for a short period of time. However, her strength is average, only at the early stage of the first tier.
This talent isn't particularly strong, nor is it very useful. Aside from turning stones into gold, the increase in combat power after the body is converted into metal is currently quite limited. As one's own strength increases, a second or third-tier powerhouse can generally withstand the collision of metals. The highest density metal that Xia Qingyi can transform is gold.
How much attack power can a weapon made solely of gold have? The soft material of gold is probably not even as good as an ordinary iron sword, and such a transformation would greatly hinder her mobility, making her practical combat ability not high.
As for turning gold into gold in the territory? At her conversion speed, it would take her forever. The gold reserves of any gold mine that happens to emerge in the territory are enough for her to convert stones for decades.
Therefore, Xia Qingyi's talent is actually quite awkward. It's not very useful, yet it seems to have some use. Moreover, no one knows whether the power of this talent will be enhanced as her strength increases.
If Xia Qingyi can eventually conjure up rare metals like Phoenix Gold or Burning Sky Steel, then she will become a treasure. If she can only conjure up gold at best, then she will be a useless thing, neither good nor bad.
The only fortunate thing is that she awakened her talent, which gave her the possibility of leaving Earth and the hope of becoming stronger and changing her destiny.
"I want to know, if I agree to the permanent agreement, will I go to your territory?" After a long while, Xia Qingyi finally raised her head and asked Ye Chen.
“Of course, my territory!” Ye Chen nodded. Such a person was exactly what he needed right now. With his experience from his previous life, he knew very well that an awakened person’s talent was not everything. It was this kind of multifaceted talent that his territory truly lacked.
“Okay! I agree to your request and sign a permanent agreement, but there must be a one-year trial period. In addition to the usual requirements, you also need an independent place to live so that I can bring my parents there. Finally, to the best of my ability, I can maximize my strength.” Xia Qingyi gritted her teeth and finally made this difficult decision.
Ye Chen's talent and potential are undoubtedly the best among all the new lords. Unless they go to live in the territories of those established lords, Ye Chen is undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, in terms of potential alone, those established lords are not as good as him. But to really make such a lifelong agreement is a very difficult choice for anyone. Xia Qingyi's decisiveness also surprised Ye Chen and the others.
However, after hearing her request, Ye Chen smiled and nodded, agreeing on the spot.
"If there are no other requirements, you can go to Chang'an City with your parents now. Honghuang Star welcomes you to join us!"
