Chapter 2739: Chapter 2759: Cultivators, Wage Workers, No Big Difference!

Is this the headquarters of Gathering Immortal Island?

Lin Chen looked at the assortment of buildings situated on the Wasteland before him with an odd look in his eyes.

One could not say that these buildings were not majestic, but whether it was the Palace or the high tower, they were just placed on the Wasteland, divided into individual areas, with the outermost being a huge Protective Array that encompassed all the structures within it.

Lin Chen glanced at the open expanse of the Wasteland and subconsciously thought of the tents of nomadic herdsmen on the grasslands.

"There is no need to be surprised by our buildings, our goal is to explore one unknown world after another. When a world has been fully explored and holds no value anymore, we will move on to the next world."

"To make exploration more efficient, when exploring the same world, we will also relocate, shortening the distance we have to explore, saving time. We are like shepherds, when the sheep have grazed the grass in one area bare, we will move on to the next area, set up our tents, and continue our exploration."

"After relocation became a habit, we also formed our current style – everything is practical. All the houses are refined magical artifacts, easy to carry. Once we find a foothold, all we need to do is level the ground, then place all the houses by area, neat and tidy."

I really guessed right!

They truly were living the nomadic life following the grass, only what they pursued were new worlds unexplored by anyone.

"Everyone, we have already prepared separate houses for you all, the houses have Array Formations like your Cave Mansions, without your permission, others cannot enter your houses. Of course, you are also free to remodel them."

"Besides the houses, we have also prepared everything you will need for living. If anyone has any other needs, you can directly tell the managers, and they will do their best to fulfill everyone’s needs."

Soon, each person received a Token with a number, corresponding to a small building.

"Where do I go to receive tasks?"

Cui Wenxuan, who was personally receiving everyone, pointed to a Main Hall in front and introduced, "That is the Points Hall. All task assignments and point exchanges are completed there. There are dedicated staff to serve everyone, and if there is anything you do not understand, you can go inside and ask in detail."

Cui Wenxuan smiled and said, "Although everyone is in a cooperative relationship with Gathering Immortal Island, there is a saying, ’the guest should comply with the host,’ so please abide by the relevant rules, or you will bear the corresponding consequences."

After a speech, people dispersed and began their working life on Gathering Immortal Island.

Lin Chen first went to his new residence, circled the room, and did some simple tidying and arrangement.

Although Lin Chen had signed the contract, he was ready in his heart to back out at any moment, as he could not possibly truly work here for thousands of years.

Signing the contract was but a delaying tactic, he needed more time to understand the situation more in detail, to see if there were other means to obtain the Cultivation Technique, and at the same time, he had to resolve the trouble left by Gui Xu Sect.

If he figured out everything and found that he truly had to toil for thousands of years to exchange for the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, as soon as the trouble was resolved, he would leave right away.

He still had to take his father back for a family reunion after all!

A brief delay was acceptable, but a long-term one was definitely not.

An Exquisite Technique, as attractive as it was, was absolutely not worth spending thousands of years of time for Lin Chen.

He came here initially just to try his luck, and if it didn’t work out, then so be it, he could always find another way later.

Next, he had to go to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, the Crimson Immortal Domain, and deal with many Quasi-Saints. Who knew, he might have an opportunity to obtain what he needed?

After tidying up his living space, Lin Chen casually stepped out the door and headed towards the Points Hall.

The Main Hall was pretty lively, with a large number of immortals who had signed the points contract pouring in, inquiring about task information, and assessing how many tasks they needed to perform and how much time it would take to fulfill their contracts.

Lin Chen stood at the back of the crowd, listening to the staff explain to the people in front, and after hearing it once, he got the idea.

Exploring new worlds required a large number of powerhouses, lots of manpower, and various peculiar abilities to deal with all sorts of unforeseen scenarios that might arise.

Bounty tasks were not unusual for Lin Chen, who had already seen them in the City of Nether Fire.

Lin Chen found the task list and began to look it over.

The tasks were varied and numerous, but the point rewards for the tasks were generally not high.

Although he had learned of this from Guan Xia, seeing it firsthand still made him sigh.

Cultivators really have it tough.

Ordinary people work hard to buy cars and houses, toiling away for decades for a single home, whereas cultivators might toil for thousands of years for just one Cultivation Technique!

Ordinary people’s struggle is about diligence and sweat, whereas cultivators wager their very lives!

Looking at it this way, although cultivators are countless times more powerful than ordinary people, aren’t they essentially the same at the core?
