Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 599 Arrangement
"After two years, the guild has finally acquired another two-piece legacy set with an extremely difficult difficulty level."

On the third floor of the Yanfu Mother Crown Complex, in a theater-style auditorium with a gold and red hue, Bai Xingfu looked at the Yanfu prompt that suddenly appeared on his iris and spoke with great emotion.

"How difficult the trial is, and whether you can pass it, is the rope craftsman's own business. It's actually irrelevant to the guild. However, Lu Wu this time really gave us a big surprise. Even though he is not the most core 'spirit' of the inheritance, the basic permanent state he gives to the walker has the authority to influence the will of the fruit. Such a blessing is rarely achieved by any inheritance, even among the Five Spirit Immortals. Huo Zhen, it seems that the burden on your shoulders will soon be much lighter."

Behind and to the side of Committee Member Bai, a middle-aged man in a floral shirt looked at the composed and fearless Sanzang and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. I believe that every traveler would be happy to see rope craftsmen sharing the burden of the earth."

The fearless Sanzang thought further ahead. The high-quality inheritance of the Five Immortals would be of great benefit to the structure of Jambudvipa. Since Tai Sui left the order of movement, the huge Jambudvipa system has been supported by Hou Tu alone. Although there are people like Jian Mu to help, it is still a drop in the ocean. Now that there is a new great inheritance to help relieve the pressure, it is naturally very good.

Unfortunately, it's not a land type.
The same thought spread through the minds of everyone present. The huge hall was filled with hundreds of chairs, but only the front few rows of seats were occupied. Three red carpets were laid down the theater steps, converging on the majestic, dark blue-green painting made with mineral pigments. In the painting, the mountains were shrouded in mist, and the Great Wall stretched for thousands of miles.

Below the painting, there were several rows of seats, each holding about twenty or thirty people. The seats were packed, with only a few empty seats. The age range of the people at the tables was extremely wide, from young girls of eighteen or nineteen to middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, to capable-looking middle-aged people, and even children and elderly men who could not straighten their backs. Among them were Zhao Jianzhong, Su Ling, Zhan Yuejin, and others.

"Alright, the discovery and inclusion of Lu Wu's legacy was just a minor episode. Rain Master, where was the meeting at just now?"

Zhao Jianzhong sat in the center of the first row of leather chairs in the auditorium. After reading the news from Ren Tu, his gaze only lingered for a moment on Qin Huai's questioning opportunity before he quickly spoke up to suppress the whispers of the delegates and asked Yu Shiqie, who was idly taking meeting notes.

"The next step after the top-tier loan project presented by Three-Eyed Global is the arrangement of the results of the Taotie inheritance trial and the decision on whether to invest resources in finding the next Mao leader."

Yu Shi Qie pushed up her glasses and answered loudly.

"Should you do it, or should she?"

Zhao Jianzhong nodded, picked up the white teacup on the table, took a sip, and then looked at Cao Yuanchao beside him.

Upon suddenly hearing someone mention him, Cao Yuanchao, whose mind was wandering elsewhere, subconsciously hummed in response. With a wave of his hand, Si Wenji behind him stood up at the opportune moment, and a dense array of complex financial statements appeared in mid-air.

"Teacher Zhao, let me do it,"

Wearing a casual suit, Si Wenji stepped out of her seat and approached the crowd, slowly saying, "The loan from Three-Eyed Global this time amounts to 1.5 million Yanfu Points, with a term of five years. The purpose is to cultivate new talent and invest in low-level practitioners with extraordinary potential and a promising future."

Perhaps because of someone's presence, the entire venue remained silent until Si Wenji finished introducing the Three-Eyed Global project, and it was only after a long while that someone spoke up and asked a question.

"Since it's all about training new talent, it doesn't seem to make any difference if the association pays for it, right?"

"Since Teacher Zhao presided over the resolution to expand the number of walks, the walk candidates selected by the guides during this period have all had bubbles, but their talents and character are uneven. If they are not screened, it will be difficult to select the real gold."

Si Wenji glanced at the fair-skinned young man who spoke and patiently explained, "The number of people in the association is limited, and most of them are busy with other matters. As the largest traveling group in Tian·Jiazi Jiu, I believe that Sanyan Huanqiu should take the initiative to shoulder this responsibility and select potential candidates who can truly become high-ranking officials for Yan Zhao Association, so as to minimize the occurrence of such cases where outstanding talents are overlooked."

“Screening is easy. By bringing the hunting events forward and controlling the intensity of the struggle, we can eliminate each other among those at lower levels and eventually find a few good candidates through the process of natural selection.”

Listening to Si Wenji's official statement, the fair-skinned young man knew very well that Three-Eyed Global wanted to use the association's money to do its own thing. He immediately smiled slightly and took the conversation a step further.

"This suggestion is indeed very pertinent, and I think it is necessary to implement it."

Su Ling, who had been drawing Go with Hou Tu with a pen, looked up and glanced at the fair-skinned young man who was also a member of the Heavenly Rank, and casually interjected.

"From a macro perspective, the overall environment in Jambudvipa is relatively safe. It is still necessary to ensure the ambition of the walking group. Otherwise, if the desire for worldly life were to return in the future, it would probably cause too many sacrifices."

Qin An, who had been away from Tianjiazi Jiu for many years and led his team to explore the sea of ​​leaves and reap the rewards, nodded and approved the fair-skinned young man's suggestion: "As for the loan project of Three-Eyed Global this time, I have no objection. As long as the loan can be repaid on time, the association can also earn some interest."

The cunning old foxes were arguing amongst themselves, while among the seventy-odd people sitting in the central hall, only one capable woman in a suit was intently using the reports displayed in mid-air, carefully assessing the current financial situation of Three-Eyed Global.

"Alright, Tao Zhu, what do you say?"

Seeing that no one in the room had any other opinions, Zhao Jianzhong raised an eyebrow. He looked up and around, and Si Wenji, who was about to say a few more words, immediately fell silent.

"Hmm, no problem. At least based on the accounting data submitted by Director Si, Three-Eyed Global's financial situation is quite good. The new recruits we've trained all have the potential to pass the inheritance trial. Whether it's Gu Diao, Gui Jin Yang, or the other reserves, they all have the potential to pass the inheritance trial. The internal affairs department is willing to provide this loan of 1.5 million Yanfu points, with a base interest rate of 3.15% per annum, and early repayment is possible."

Tao Zhu smiled slightly at Si Wenji, handling the situation very appropriately.

After a while, seeing that no one objected anymore, Zhao Jianzhong slowly said, "Let's discuss the next item: the arrangement of the fruits of the Taotie inheritance trial."

"Before the meeting, Houtu gave me several sequence coordinates of fruits with the appearance of the ancient wilderness. Take a look."

As he spoke, the previously complicated financial data disappeared, and four amber-colored bubbles of different sizes suddenly appeared out of thin air in the auditorium.

【Introduction · Renwu 279】: The upper limit of the fruit is six departments. The creatures within are mostly gifted and have extraordinary souls. Humans are weak and mostly exist in tribes in the wilderness. They rely on cultivating innate supernatural powers to survive tenaciously in the cruel nature.

【Mao·Bingyin 341】: The maximum fruit level is six, and the creatures within are mostly demons, monsters, and spirits. No humans have been found so far. Various races of monsters are categorized according to the five elements, forming clans, tribes, and cities, and there is frequent warfare between them. 【Lin·Dingwei 14】: The maximum fruit level is five, and the area is filled with spiritual herbs and many rare and exotic plants, thus giving rise to numerous guardian beasts, all of which are extremely powerful. Entering rashly at a low level could be life-threatening.

【Luo·Yimao 3】: The upper limit of the fruit is unknown. In this turbid world, there are many demons and monsters. Yin soil spreads and encroaches on the yang world. With favorable timing and location, it may be easier to complete the inheritance trial.

"Ahem, since the theme of the Taotie Inheritance Trial is [Chaos of Heaven and Earth], there are strict requirements for the appearance of the fruits. I have screened through the development time of the fruits and found that only these four fruits are relatively suitable at present."

Houtu raised her hand and silently added.

"What does 'Luan Tian Chang' mean? Is it just a simple rebellion? Or does it mean taking into account the changes in the fruit's will and drastically altering the original course of events within the fruit?"

Mentioning Qin Huai's inheritance trial, Chu Qing, who had been absent-minded, became interested and asked directly.

"Judging from the Taotie's inherited characteristics and its reputation as one of the Four Ancient Fiends, it must at least incite war, disrupt the Great Wilderness, and fight several battles with the top-tier native experts of the Fruit. As for the specific requirements for completion, we will have to wait until Qin Huai enters the Fruit and triggers the Yanfu event to find out."

Su Ling leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, recalling her Qiongqi inheritance trial and speculating.

"So, does that mean it's best to choose fruits with a lower potential for fruit reproduction?"

Chu Qing frowned. He subconsciously compared the content of the Si's trial to the Taotie and found that it was not as mysterious and impressive as the Taotie.

"Not entirely. The actions one takes during the Inheritance Trial will actually generate a certain amount of inherited power. Take Taotie for example. Both are enemies, but the Taotie power gained from defeating the Seven Palaces and the Six Divisions is not on the same level. When the trial is completed and the event is settled, the amount of Taotie power will directly affect the life level sublimation of the walker. Therefore, choosing a fruit with a low upper limit is certainly safe, but the achievement is also limited."

Zhan Yuejin blew on the wisps of steam rising from the paper cup in his hand and said calmly, "In the end, it still depends on the choices of the person in charge. However, you have to give up something to gain something. There's nothing wrong with acting within your means at crucial moments."

"Act within your capabilities? But can't the rope craftsman go wherever he wants? If he encounters an enemy he can't defeat, he can just run away. Do you think some natives will rush into Ye Hai and capture him?"

A man in a loose Taoist robe, holding a sword, narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "If you fail this time, you can try again next time. If you accumulate enough experience, you'll eventually pass, right?"

"That makes sense, but you have to consider the actual situation. There are only four fruits suitable for Taotie to undergo trials in the near future, and the validity period is about three months. If there are no results during this period, Rope Craftsman will have to wait at least another year and a half if he wants to become Taotie's proxy."

Jianmu shrugged and explained, "Some people these days can't even wait three minutes, let alone a year and a half."

"That's true. By the way, when is the rope craftsman back at work? Now that we've successfully acquired the heirloom parts, shouldn't we restart the government-sponsored salvage operation?"

“I granted the big guy a two-week leave, and only five days have passed. Calling him back early would require paying him a lot of overtime pay. You should discuss which fruit to assign him.”

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off track, Houtu spoke up again, but after a few words she changed the subject and brought the focus back.

"I think the choice of fruit should start with the theme of the trial, which is 'chaos of the heavens'."

After consulting the fruit information and pondering for a long time, Bu Yang took the initiative to speak and slowly explained: "What is the Heavenly Constant? As the name suggests, it is nothing more than the operating law of heaven and earth and the regular rules of nature. From the perspective of Jambudvipa, it can also be regarded as the world trend driven by the will of the fruit. If you want to disrupt the Heavenly Constant, you must first determine what the Heavenly Constant of each fruit is."

"The appearance of the fruit of [Jie·Renwu 279] probably means that living beings should tenaciously survive in the harsh natural environment of mountains and seas, where natural selection and survival of the fittest will stimulate the development of 'real' things."

As for [Mao Bingyin 341], since the creatures within it are mostly demons and monsters, and there are often battles and struggles among them, the Heavenly Constant is probably inseparable from the brutal war. After all, whether it is more advanced fighting techniques or more powerful supernatural powers and spells, they are all important components of 'reality'.

[Scales, Dingwei Year 14] is rather vague. I personally think it is related to protecting treasures and plundering treasures. It will take some effort to determine the exact meaning.

As for [Luo·Yimao 3], the fruit's will is clearly pushing for the fusion of Yin and Yang. If the rampant demons and monsters are the natural order of this turbid world, then to disrupt it would require restoring order and clearing away the demonic atmosphere. For one person to fight against the entire fruit is simply too difficult.

"To put it bluntly, it's about going against the will of the fruit. If it wants to beat a dog, you chase a chicken; if it tells you to go east, you go west. In short, it's about causing trouble."

After hearing Bu Yang's explanation, Chu Qing also began to understand its meaning.

"Following this logic, the Heavenly Mandate of [Jie·Renwu 279] is one of tenacious survival. No matter how bloodthirsty Taotie is, it's hard to change its biological nature. There's no need to incur too much killing karma for a mediocre rating. The Heavenly Mandate of [Lin·Dingwei 14] is one of protecting treasures and plundering materials. The scope is too broad, and the specific content is not very clear. It might be a viable alternative. The Heavenly Mandate of [Luo·Yimao 3] is one of demons and monsters among humans. It would be difficult for Taotie to save the common people on its own. However, if it could clear away the demonic atmosphere, it would be a great merit. It's just a pity that the waters of the fruits of [Lin·Dingwei 14] and [Luo·Yimao 3] are too deep. If Taotie makes too much noise, it might attract the attention of the Five Elders. It would be troublesome to get away safely then."

Having spent a long time training in the field operations department and helped countless agents complete the inheritance trials, the arrogant insect finally spoke, his words clear and logical: "[Mao Bingyin 341] is still more suitable. The upper limit of fruit gestation is neither low nor high, and Tianchang is also the simplest war. Whether Taotie goes in to start a major war or to quell the chaos, it is still easier than the other three."

"The arrogant insect has a point."

"I have no opinion"

"Then let's call it [Mao Bingyin 341]."

Soon, Yan Zhaohui arranged the results of the Taotie inheritance trial for the first and second seats, and the topic moved on to the most important part of the meeting.

"Next, we need to confirm Qilin's current status and address the training of potential candidates for Mao Zhu."
