In the garden of Wan Chao's family, Wan Chaoxin and several young people from the Wan Chao family were drinking.
"Why can Li Xiu become the chief as soon as he joins the club? Isn't it just a magic spirit competition? With those few weak magic spirits, Brother Xin can beat him to death with his eyes closed. They are almost the same age, so why can he become the chief? Brother Xin was told that he did not have enough qualifications and age when he applied to be the chief. What qualifications does he have? It's really a double standard..." Wan Chaojue cursed while drinking.
"We can't do anything about it. Who can blame him for having a backer? I heard people in the city saying that Li Xiu is from the Li family, and he might even be the president's illegitimate son." Wan Chaohua said.
"Is being an illegitimate child so great? Not to mention being an illegitimate child, even if it was Li Qingyi, he couldn't get to the top like this, right?" Wan Chaojue said angrily.
"How can they be the same? Li Qingyi is a woman after all, and Li Xiu is a man. Maybe he can inherit the position of president in the future. He is basically being trained as the heir." Wan Chaohua said.
"I don't think so." Wan Chaojue snorted coldly, "The president is immortal, so why does he need an heir? Even if Li Xiu is really an illegitimate child, he can't inherit the position of president. At most, he can only be a general manager."
Wan Chaoxin listened to everyone's discussions but said nothing. He just drank by himself.
"Brother Xin, please say something. Our Wanchao family has worked so hard for so many years and shed blood and sweat for Changshengtian, but in the end we were not even given the position of chief executive. That guy became the chief executive as soon as he arrived. This is so unfair." Wan Chaojue looked at Wan Chaoxin and said.
Wan Chaoxin's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and several people who were talking suddenly shut up.
"If it were in the past, would you feel it was unfair?" Wan Chaoxin said lightly.
"It's never fair, and the fact is right here." Wan Chaojue said.
Wan Chaoxin glanced at him coldly and said, "Even if you knew it was unfair before, you would never say it out loud like this, let alone curse here. Now that the little aunt is back, you feel emboldened to talk nonsense here. Do you think someone can back you up?"
"I'm telling the truth..." Wan Chaojue muttered.
"The fact is that you are causing trouble for my aunt and for our Wanchao family." Wan Chaoxin snorted coldly, "If what I said today gets to the president's ears, how do you think he will look upon our Wanchao family and my aunt? Are you trying to push the Wanchao family to a dead end?"
"That's not what we meant. We just think it's unfair for the club to treat you, Brother Xin, like this..." Wan Chaojue and a few others said hurriedly.
"There's nothing unfair. I couldn't become the chief before because I wasn't strong enough. Don't talk about fairness or unfairness. Absolute fairness never exists. Family strength is also part of strength. I couldn't become the chief because I wasn't strong enough. There's no other reason."
Wan Chaoxin said calmly: "Now that my aunt is back, our Wan Chao family is strong enough to compete with the four major families and has the possibility of going further. But this does not mean that you can act recklessly, nor does it mean that you can ignore anyone. Don't act like a nouveau riche, which will only harm you and the Wan Chao family."
"Brother Xin... I'm sorry... we..." Wan Chaojue and others felt a little uncomfortable.
"We should do what we should do. Only those who have no ability will make useless noises." Wan Chaoxin drank the wine in his glass, put down the glass and said, "We should fight for what we should fight for, and we should get what we deserve. Don't worry, I will take back what belongs to us. After I predict the future, I will challenge for the position of chief."
"Challenging the position of chief executive? Brother Xin, which chief executive do you want to challenge?" Wan Chaojue and others were shocked when they heard this.
Changshengtian does have the rule of challenging the chief, but in recent years, few people have used this rule.
In the past when there were eight major families, because there were only six chief positions, there would always be two families that could not get the chief position.
So this rule was set at that time. If anyone among the eight families felt that he was stronger than the current six chiefs, he could challenge the current chief for the position of chief.
At that time, there were many people but few positions, so the competition was very fierce.
But now there are only four of the eight great families left, but there are six positions of chief leader, so in recent years few people have used this rule to seize the throne.
What's more, the number of the position of chief has increased to seven now, so generally speaking there is no need to fight for it.
Moreover, the person who can become the chief executive now, in addition to having extremely powerful personal strength, has an intricate network of relationships behind him, which cannot be shaken by just anyone.
"Han Mingshou." Wan Chaoxin replied indifferently.
"Brother Xin, Han Mingshou is Han Minghui's biological elder brother. Now Han Minghui is vaguely intending to be the head of the four major families. Challenging Han Mingshou is tantamount to breaking off relations with the Han family. Instead of this, it is better to challenge the new chief Li Xiu. At least it will be easier to defeat him. I heard that Han Mingshou's super spiritual limit is not inferior to Li Qingyi. It is not so easy to defeat him." Wan Chaojue said.
"Do you think that even if we don't break up with the four big families, they will agree to let our Wanchao family become the fifth big family?" Wan Chaoxin sneered, "Don't dream. No one is willing to share the power in their hands. If our Wanchao family wants to become the fifth big family, we must break the monopoly of the four big families. Sooner or later, we will break up. Now that my little aunt is back, as long as I can beat Han Mingshou, no matter how unhappy the four big families are, they will never really attack our Wanchao family. This is our Wanchao family's chance."
"Although it is true, I still feel that challenging Li Xiu would be less risky. After all, Li Xiu has just joined the organization and his foundation is not stable. It would be easier to take over his group, and there is no need to fall out with the four major families right away." Wan Chaohua said.
"Is it easy?" Wan Chaoxin glanced at Wan Chaohua and said, "You have to know that the Magic Armor Group is not in the hands of Li Xiu, but in the hands of Vice President Bai. Li Xiu is now only in charge of the Magic Armor Group in name only. In fact, the Magic Armor Group is still in the hands of Vice President Bai. Do you think that if I become the head of the Magic Armor Group, Vice President Bai will easily hand over the Magic Armor Group to me?"
"This..." Wan Chaohua was speechless.
"Although the Magical Costume Group doesn't look very glorious, you don't know that the investment in the Magical Costume Group every year is more than any other group. Otherwise, why do you think the Magical Costume Group has always been controlled by Vice President Bai, and there has never been a new group to elect a chief? That's because the Bai family is a direct descendant of the Li family, and Vice President Bai is the president's confidant. In fact, the Magical Costume Group has always been controlled by the president and the Li family." Wan Chaoxin analyzed: "If we touch the Magical Costume Group, it is equivalent to making things difficult for the president, the Li family, and the Bai family. Do you think the power behind Han Mingshou is more terrifying than them?"
"So that's how it is. Brother Xin, you are the one who thinks things through." Wan Chaohua said embarrassedly.
Wan Chaoxin smiled and said, "But Li Xiu is not the president's illegitimate son. At most, he has some relationship with the Li family. Li Xiu became the head of the Magic Suit Group. This is also a signal that the president and the Li family are beginning to be dissatisfied with the Bai family. I'm afraid that Vice President Bai has made too much money in the Magic Suit Group over the years, and even the president can't stand it anymore."
"Are there really so many benefits to be gained from the Magic Armor Group?" Wan Chaojue asked with some disbelief.
The image of the Magic Suit Group in Changshengtian has always been that of a bullied little wife, who has to do all the dirty and tiring work but has no status.
"Where have all the high-level magic materials in the guild gone? I'm afraid most of them have gone to the magic equipment group. There are also super-spiritual-level magic cores and super-spiritual gems. Every year, a large portion of them are allocated to the magic equipment group in the name of manufacturing super-spiritual magic equipment. But in the end, where do those magic cores and super-spiritual gems go?" Wan Chaoxin said.
"So there are so many things. Why haven't I heard of them before..." Wan Chaojue, Wan Chaohua and others looked at each other.
"Everyone in the four families knows it very well, but they just don't dare to say it. The Magic Suit Group is equivalent to the private property of the president and the Li family. Who dares to say anything?" Wan Chaoxin said lightly: "So we must not touch the Magic Suit Group, but I can have a good chat with Li Xiu."
"Brother Xin, according to what you said, Li Xiu is from the Li family and the president's man. Why are we looking for him? Isn't this making an enemy of the president and the Li family?" Wan Chaohua asked in confusion.
"It won't be easy for him to take back the Magic Equipment Group from Vice President Bai. This is an opportunity. Maybe we can make him work for us." Wan Chaoxin said with narrowed eyes.
…
In the trial field, Li Xiu and Sha Chu passed the final trial, and the reward appeared in front of them.
"I'm lucky. I got two admission tickets at random for the first time." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he saw that Sha Chu's reward also included admission tickets.
"I'm really lucky." Sha Chu breathed a sigh of relief. The diamond in her hand could open the Beast Gate three times at most. If she couldn't get an admission ticket randomly, she would be in trouble in the future.
The two people each chose an admission ticket to enter, and Li Xiu came to the mysterious stone table with an ancient lamp.
I saw a pair of black leather boots on the stone table, and I was overjoyed.
"What I lacked has finally come to me. Now I have everything I need. I have clothes and shoes. I finally look like a civilized person." Li Xiu stretched out his hand and picked up the leather boots, which shone brightly.
Without even waiting for the Longevity Lamp to prompt, Li Xiu dripped blood on it.
Animal leather boots: parasitic contract.
Grade: E.
Original embryo quality: 0.6.
Quality: Flowing color.
The quality of this contract is really not that good, it doesn't even have any innate skills, and the original embryo quality is only 0.6.
However, Li Xiu was already quite satisfied. As long as he had shoes to wear, these things were not important.
After putting on the animal leather boots, Li Xiu took a look and found that although they did not match the Confucian skirt of the person he was wearing, they were better than nothing.
Following the Longevity Lamp into the trial site, Li Xiu was slightly stunned by the scene he saw.
The trial sites that Li Xiu had visited before had some buildings, but here it was just a grassland with no buildings at all.
On this piece of grass, there are some snow-white monsters that look like snowballs, jumping around and eating the grass.
After seeing Li Xiu, those snowball-like evil spirits did not have any special reaction. They continued to eat grass and had no intention of attacking him at all.
"This kind of demon spirit is called white ball beast. It is the most common demon spirit in the beast trial ground. Their levels are relatively low. Most of them are E-level with poor quality. As long as you don't provoke them, they rarely attack people actively." Sha Chu appeared beside Li Xiu with her longevity lamp and explained while looking at the white ball beasts.
It was the first time for Li Xiu to come to such a trial place. The demons he encountered before were all ferocious and vicious. Seeing such a cute and gentle demon, he was a little uncomfortable.
"The beast trial site is very large, it's like a huge boundless grassland. In addition to monsters like the white ball beast, there are many high-level monsters. However, you have to walk a long way to encounter them, and many monsters appear in groups. If ordinary trial-takers encounter them, they have to be careful." Sha Chu told Li Xiu some information about the beast trial site.
"These white ball beasts are quite cute. Is the chance of revealing a magic ring high?" Li Xiu asked while looking at the white ball beasts.
"Very low. I heard that someone killed tens of thousands of them but still couldn't get a single White Ball Beast Magic Ring." Sha Chu smiled and said, "We are lucky today. You can give it a try. Maybe you can get a White Ball Beast Magic Ring. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone getting a White Ball Beast Magic Ring."
Li Xiu knew that this might be difficult. After all, the white ball beast had no quality and was of low level. He had killed so many S-level monsters outside before, but because those monsters had no quality, he had never seen those S-level monsters condense monster rings, and he had not even seen talent gems and skill rings, not to mention that the white ball beast was only E-level.
After thinking about it, he decided to let these non-aggressive white ball beasts go, summoned the pink nightmare, and rode away with Sha Chu to look for more advanced demon spirits.
There are indeed a lot of evil spirits in the beast trial land. When the pink nightmare is running wildly, you can see groups of white ball beasts appearing.
After running for more than ten miles, the two men discovered a group of evil spirits.
It was a kind of demon that looked like a horse, but it had wings like a dove on its back.
When they are eating grass on the ground, they fold their wings at both sides of their bodies. Once they encounter danger, they immediately spread their wings and fly into the sky at a very fast speed.
"Flying mounts!" Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw them.
He had always lacked a flying mount, and now he finally had the chance.
"These are Pegasus. Common Pegasus generally range in levels from E to C. Higher-level Pegasus are rare..." Shachu explained.
There were groups of Pegasus beasts, some black, some white, some red, and some pink, and there were at least three or four hundred of them.
But before Li Xiu and his companions got close, the group of Pegasus beasts spread their wings and flew into the sky like frightened birds, hiding far away and not giving Li Xiu any chance to approach them.
Sha Chu smiled and said, "Pegasus beasts are timid and suspicious by nature. Although their level is not high, they have the ability to fly. If there is no flying demon spirit or long-range attack weapon, it is a bit difficult to hunt them."
"This is not a problem." Li Xiu directly summoned the Jedi Knight.
The Jedi Knight immediately rushed towards the herd of Pegasus beasts and slashed with blood from a distance. The bloody crescent blade light directly cut a Pegasus beast in half.
The other Pegasus beasts flapped their wings and rushed into the sky. The Jedi Knight jumped up and swung his samurai sword, splitting several nearby Pegasus beasts into two.
Seeing that most of the Pegasus beasts had already flown high up, the Jedi Knights were falling.
Suddenly, strange fluorescent patterns appeared on the Jedi Knight's body. Those fluorescent patterns were like characters, covering the Jedi Knight's armor, flowing and flashing continuously.
With the appearance of those light pattern symbols, the Jedi Knight's falling body suddenly rose into the air, as if the light pattern kinetic energy of the magic suit pushed the Jedi Knight's body into the sky.
The sky suddenly turned into a slaughterhouse. Flying Jedi Knights chased the Pegasus and killed them. Blood and corpses fell from the sky, and blood-stained feathers were floating everywhere.
The Jedi Knight's skill of the same name, "Jedi Knight", those light patterns that look like text symbols, can not only inspire the Jedi Knight's potential, but also control the magic light to accomplish some special abilities. Flying is just one way to use those light patterns.
When climbing Gyro Mountain before, the Jedi Knight used this skill to fly to the top of the mountain after landing, blocking the two golden phoenix arrows shot at Li Xiu and Sha Chu.
The Jedi Knights were chasing a herd of Pegasus in the sky, while Li Xiu and Sha Chu were riding on pink nightmares and picking up things below.
Unfortunately, the quality of these Pegasus beasts was too poor. There were only a few of flowing color quality, and most of them were of ordinary quality. After chasing them for a long time, I only picked up some magic cores.
The Jedi Knights kept chasing the Pegasus beasts that were fleeing in the sky, and Li Xiu and Sha Chu had no choice but to follow them.
After chasing for several miles, they suddenly saw a group of Pegasus beasts appearing on the grassland ahead. Their number was even larger than the previous group, probably more than a thousand. Among them, there were several shining quality Pegasus beasts, and even dazzling quality Pegasus beasts were seen.
Li Xiu hurriedly ordered the Jedi Knights not to chase the scattered Pegasus beasts and rushed directly towards the large herd of Pegasus beasts.
The Jedi Knight was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. No Pegasus could withstand the power of his sword. Soon, the beasts were killed and corpses were scattered everywhere.
Li Xiu asked Sha Chu to ride the pink nightmare to pick up things, while he himself walked towards the grass nest nearby.
He just discovered that there was a white ball beast looking around in the grass nest, so he took care of it.
The average white ball beast is about the size of a football, but this one is obviously much larger, even larger than a basketball. It has snow-white fur that seems to be filled with white fluorescent agent. As it moves, the white fur on its body continues to light up.
Li Xiu had seen so many white ball beasts along the way, but this was the first time he had seen such a high-quality white ball beast, and he couldn't help but be interested.
