Chapter 302: Chapter 210: Fortune Land Opens

"Are you really going to give?"

Zhou Yuan was a bit surprised.

Chen Guangxi reached out and poked his little face, "Of course. As long as it’s not too much, I’ll satisfy you."

"Then..."

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "How about going on a date?"

"Oh?" Chen Guangxi was astonished, "You’re being pretty direct this time, huh?"

"Would you be willing?" Zhou Yuan stared directly into her bright golden eyes.

Chen Guangxi couldn’t help but pinch his little face and smiled, "Willing. But let’s talk about it later. If we go out like this, I’m afraid people will think I have some sort of inappropriate interest in children."

Zhou Yuan: "..."

Chen Guangxi continued, "Besides, the citizens of Xinheng City have all been evacuated, the malls are closed, and you can’t even buy milk tea. What could we possibly do on the streets? Exterminate rats and cockroaches?"

"True."

Buzz——

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan’s phone vibrated. It was a call from Gu Chacha.

"Saint Heir, more than a dozen companies want to sign contracts with you, and each is offering endorsement fees of over ten million!" Gu Chacha said excitedly.

Gu Chacha was currently Zhou Yuan’s operations officer, so all commercial activities were communicated with her first. After the news of the recent event broke out, her WeChat was almost overwhelmed with messages from big companies and enterprises wanting to collaborate commercially.

"Which companies?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Too many, from various sectors: arms, food, medical, biological, forging..." Gu Chacha rattled off over a dozen names, all internationally renowned companies.

Even the Forge Association contacted them because the Eastern Town Rod was created by Zhou Yuan using the [Random Forge Furnace]. They wanted to leverage this opportunity to promote the Random Forge Furnace.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, "First, negotiate the terms. For instance, after endorsing the Forge Association, they should grant me open access to use the Random Forge Furnace, and besides the endorsement fee, provide various rare metals.

Negotiate the terms as high as possible, be bold."

"This..." Gu Chacha was momentarily silent, "What if it backfires?"

"It won’t backfire."

Zhou Yuan was supremely confident, "As long as I keep creating more sensational content and my fame keeps growing, they will be begging me for endorsements.

This Longevity Tree battle was just a minor episode. Many experts didn’t make a move in the end, and many didn’t even show up.

Once we enter the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and various forces act freely, that’s when the real spectacle begins.

If I can defeat them all, the hype will naturally follow."

"Saint Heir, you truly are... unparalleled." Gu Chacha was at a loss for words, defeat everyone? That was insanely arrogant!

Keep in mind, the extraordinary persons attracted by the Cave Heaven Blessed Land were all elites meticulously nurtured by their respective factions, including descendants of True Gods, chosen of High Gods, Immortal bloodlines, unique constitutions, reclusive experts... Each one a genius, with many being geniuses among geniuses.

Defeating them all... if someone else had said it, Gu Chacha might have doubted it, but coming from their own Saint Heir... she had a faint feeling it might actually come true. After all, she had witnessed the Saint Heir’s strength, talent, and track record since debuting with her own eyes.

"Well... I’ll go negotiate then." Gu Chacha quickly hung up the phone.

"I never thought you’d become a successful person now,"

Chen Guangxi remarked with a click of her tongue, "How does it feel to be the center of attention?"

"Honestly, a bit exhilarating." Zhou Yuan exhaled, "The feeling of being known, revered, and valued by countless people brings an unprecedented sense of achievement and satisfaction, it’s utterly... euphoric."

"Many extraordinary persons go through this phase. Some eventually fall into a life of debauchery and lawlessness, eventually getting killed by their enemies or disappearing without a trace.

Some enjoy this sense of achievement to the point of obsession, establishing their own factions and dominating a region.

Others remain pure at heart, undistracted by external factors, continuing to climb the path of transcendence..."

Chen Guangxi rested her chin in her hand and scrutinized Zhou Yuan, "What kind of person will you be?"

"Who knows." Zhou Yuan shook his head. People are changeable, and no one knows what they will become in the future.

"If you ever get confused, just ask your true self," Chen Guangxi said.

In the early hours of the morning.

The evacuation of Xinheng City’s residents had been completed, and all the people had left the city.

With the departure of its inhabitants, the entire city became deathly silent, with neighborhoods submerged in deep darkness, and only a few places still illuminated.

At this time, in a factory.

An unremarkable middle-aged man used a dagger to cut his palm, letting the blood flow freely.

He was surrounded by a group of men and women, all simultaneously cutting their palms and letting the blood flow.

The crimson blood flowed eerily on the ground, soon converging into a strange, shimmering scarlet pattern.

The middle-aged man was ecstatic, "The power leftover from the Corpse Immortal a thousand years ago still endures. This means the Cave Heaven Blessed Land remains in its ancient state, and that item might still be there!"

"With that item, we can awaken the Corpse Immortal..." the group was thrilled.

"President, the envoy from the Land of Truth requests an audience." At this moment, a disciple hurried over to report.

"The Land of Truth?" The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, waved his hand to disperse the flickering bloody pattern on the ground, and with a surge of power, the cut on his palm healed automatically.

Entering a factory building, a sinister-looking man with white hair was calmly drinking tea at a table.

He wore a white suit and was dressed elegantly, but his face exuded an overwhelming malevolence, giving off a sense of intense hostility, like a ferocious beast ready to kill at any moment.
