My clan is super powerful

Chapter 604: Coping Strategies; Change; Disappearance; (6000)

Zhang Zhi weighed the stack of invitations in his hand and then said, "This is my plan."

"Brother Shangguan, tell everyone in the club that I, Zhang Zhi, am back, and I'm bringing twenty invitations to the banquet!"

Yes, this was Zhang Zhi’s plan, simple and clear, telling those who planned it that he valued the people in the Mutual Aid Society very much, even to the point of bringing back twenty invitations for them.

This basically tells those people that I, Zhang Zhi, was the one who gave them the key cards.

However, anyone with a brain would know that anyone who possessed twenty invitations to a banquet was definitely not an ordinary person, and with just a little investigation, one could find out Zhang Zhi's identity.

After learning that Zhang Zhi was actually Professor Confucius, a disciple of the only master of the human race's main world, I think no one would dare to take any action.

They might even speculate that the owner of the trial tower is most likely Professor Confucius!

Shangguan Feng swallowed his saliva and subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhang Zhi, where did you get so many invitations?"

"Are these invitations real?"

"Also, the invitation to this banquet is actually not very suitable for us, the masters of the world who are not even the masters of the Thousand Worlds."

"You gave us these invitations to protect us, but it's a complete waste."

"If you take these invitations to the black market, you can easily sell them for an astronomical amount of money."

Zhang Zhi glanced at Shangguan Feng, who looked a little excited, and shook his head slightly, saying, "Brother Shangguan, I originally prepared these invitations for everyone in the mutual aid association."

"As for these invitations, where did I get them from?"

"It's okay to talk to you about some things."

"You should have heard that I was specially recruited to Fengjing University because of a professor's preference for me."

"In fact, I was indeed highly regarded by Professor Kongzi of Fengjing University and was specially recruited."

Shangguan Feng exclaimed in surprise when he heard this: "Professor Confucius?"

In fact, the more remote areas are not very familiar with the human race's main god-level cultivators, but Shangguan Feng, as a disciple of the Seven Dragons Academy, naturally understands what it means to be able to be called a "son".

After hearing Shangguan Feng's exclamation, Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, Professor Kongzi!"

"Professor Kong Zi was very impressed by my potential and made an agreement with me when he recruited me to the school."

"As long as I can be promoted to the master of the Small Thousand Worlds within a certain period of time, he will accept me as his disciple."

"I promoted my small world to the Small Thousand Worlds some time ago, so Professor Kongzi accepted me as his disciple as agreed."

"Actually, all of these invitations I received were obtained through Professor Kongzi."

Shangguan Feng waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Zhi's words and asked in a shocked tone, "Wait a minute."

"Brother Zhang Zhi, are you saying that you are now the master of the Small Thousand Worlds?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I am now the master of the Small Thousand Worlds."

After confirming that Zhang Zhi was now the master of the Small Thousand Worlds, Shangguan Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Zhang Zhi, you are truly a rare genius!"

"You've only been developing your small world for about two years, right? And now you've been promoted to the master of the Small Thousand Worlds!"

"With your cultivation speed, you should be the first person to do so since the path to becoming the master of the human world was opened up, right?"

"No wonder you were accepted as a disciple by a being in the Lord God Realm!"

Zhang Zhixian smiled and said, "From what I can see so far, I am indeed the one who has taken the shortest time to ascend to the rank of World Master in a small world since the path to World Master was opened."

"And it was precisely because of this that I was accepted as a disciple by Professor Confucius."

Shangguan Feng let out a long sigh at this time: "I understand your plan."

"You asked me to spread the word that you were going to distribute these twenty invitations to your fellow members."

"It's just to let those people know your identity."

"After those people learned that you were Professor Confucius's disciple, they wouldn't dare do anything to you, even if they knew the key card came from you."

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I planned."

"Also, when you gave the keycard to the other team, you didn't tell them the specific time you got it, right?"

Shangguan Feng thought about it briefly before nodding and saying, "No! We simply told them how to use the key card and that it leads to a magical space in the Trial Tower."

"They weren't even told what was inside the Trial Tower. Instead, they were told to go inside and check it out themselves."

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Since they don't know when you obtained these key cards, then perhaps those who planned these cards, after learning that I sent you invitations with great fanfare, might suspect that those key cards were actually given to me by Professor Confucius."

"After all, as the only master of the main world level in our human race, it is normal for Professor Kongzi to own such a space!"

After hearing this, Shangguan Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, those people are likely to think that those key cards belong to Professor Confucius. After all..."

Then, Shangguan Feng realized something and suddenly became extremely stiff. He turned his head slowly towards Zhang Zhi and said, "Brother Zhang Zhi, what did you just say?"

"Did you just say that Professor Confucius is already the master of the main world?"

Zhang Zhi looked at Shangguan Feng, whose expression was somewhat numb at this moment, nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Kong Zi has become the first world master of the main world level of our human race."

After getting confirmation from Zhang Zhi, Shangguan Feng seemed to want to say something, but his whole body was stiff and he couldn't move at all. He got anxious and ended up losing his balance and falling to the ground.

After falling to the ground, Shangguan Feng found that his body was beginning to regain consciousness. After sitting on the ground for a while, he slowly stood up and said to Zhang Zhi, "I'm sorry, I was so shocked when I heard that Professor Kong had become the Lord of the Main World. I lost my composure. I apologize for making you laugh, Brother Zhang Zhi."

Zhang Zhi slowly shook his head and said, "What's so funny about this? When I heard that Professor Kong had become the master of the main world, my performance was not much better than Brother Shangguan's."

"After all, this means that the path to becoming the Lord of the World of our human race can truly lead us directly to the level of the Main World."

Shangguan Feng, who was standing nearby, nodded slowly after hearing Zhang Zhi's words and said, "Yes, the path to becoming the world master of our human race has finally found a way to ascend to the main world."

"This is a major event worthy of celebration by our entire human race!"

"For us humans, finding the path to the main world is more worthy of our congratulations than destroying the Mind Flayer clan!"

At this point, he suddenly realized something: "Brother Zhang Zhi, could this upcoming banquet also be due to Professor Kongzi's ascension to the main world?"

Then, he thought of something else, patted his thigh lightly, and said in an extremely excited tone, "Oh right, at this feast, all the beings in the main god realm will give lectures, so Professor Kongzi will definitely explain his way to ascend to the main world at the feast!"

"This feast is truly worthy of being called a feast!"

Zhang Zhi looked at Shangguan Feng, who was filled with excitement, and confirmed his speculation. "Yes, that's right. Professor Confucius is the second main god to preach. He will explain how to ascend to the main world at the banquet."

Shangguan Feng was slightly stunned after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Professor Confucius is the second one to give a sermon?"

"Impossible, right? We humans have found the path to the main world, yet we're ranked second?"

He turned to look at Zhang Zhi: "Brother Zhang, do you know who is ranked first?"

"What will he explain?"

"Could it be that the Dao that being expounded is more important than the Dao of ascending to the main world?"

"Otherwise, how could it be ranked first?"

Zhang Zhi paused for a moment before speaking, "The first person to preach was Professor Zhuangzi."

"As for what he explained, you will know when the time comes."

"From a cognitive perspective, the Dao he expounded is indeed more important than what Confucius taught."

Shangguan Feng looked at Zhang Zhi in amazement when he heard this: "Brother Zhang Zhi, you know this too."

"It's really great to be able to enter Fengjing University."

After a pause, he said, "Compared to the Seven Dragons Academy, how are the commoners like you doing at Fengjing University?"

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhi slowly said, "I've been at Fengjing University for quite some time. Inside Fengjing University, they don't value a student's background; they value their qualifications and potential more."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become Professor Confucius's disciple."

"Actually, because I'm a disciple of Professor Confucius, I know a lot about the human race's top leaders' plans for the future of cognition."

"For example, the human race's top leaders have discovered that knowledge is now monopolized by certain individuals, and that those individuals are using this knowledge monopoly to collect tolls, which has a negative impact on our race."

"The human race's top leaders have actually begun to work on changing the current situation."

"Many schools, including Fengjing University, no longer have such things as knowledge monopolies. The purpose of talent cultivation within universities is actually to enable the human race to have more high-level cultivators and make the human race stronger."

"The sermons at this grand event are actually a statement from the human race's top leaders on changing the monopoly of knowledge."

"All the human leaders who agree to knowledge sharing, rather than knowledge monopoly, will give speeches at this event."

"Now you know that all of the human race's main god-level beings will give sermons at the grand event. This shows that the reform of the knowledge monopoly has basically no longer encountered much of an obstacle at the top level."

"I think it won't be long before the top management will come up with a rough plan to rectify the knowledge monopoly within each school." "So, I think it won't be long before the world masters of our human race no longer have to worry about knowledge monopoly."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Shangguan Feng was stunned for a long time. After a while, he slowly exhaled: "So, in the future, we, the world masters who come from commoner backgrounds, will finally no longer be controlled by others in terms of knowledge."

"I never thought that I would actually be able to witness this scene in my lifetime."

After a pause, he continued, "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see that our Civilian Mutual Aid Association no longer has any need to exist!"

Zhang Zhi fell silent after hearing this. The Mutual Aid Society was established in the past to unite all the civilian monks who were oppressed by the second generation of monks and to resist all the inequalities against the civilian monks.

However, in Zhang Zhi's understanding, unless it is the communist society with distribution according to needs as in the legend of his previous life, otherwise, inequality will never disappear.

Of course, he admired his companions in the mutual aid society who had sincere hearts like Shangguan Feng. Otherwise, he would not have told him about the knowledge monopoly.

After all, he didn't even tell His Majesty Li Qianjun about this.

At this point, Shangguan Feng seemed to realize that this topic was a bit heavy, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, the first speaker was Professor Zhuangzi, the second speaker was Professor Confucius, so who was the third one?"

"What was the content of the sermon?"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi saw Zixia looking at him with a smile in her eyes, so he coughed lightly and said, "I've already told you who's first and who's second."

"As for the third one, you'd better wait until you go to the event to see it yourself."

"After all, if I tell you everything, your anticipation for the feast will actually decrease."

"Don't you think that feeling of slowly waiting for the answer to a mystery to be revealed is actually quite interesting?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Shangguan Feng nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. If you know the answer to the riddle, it will be much less fun."

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly, then handed the invitation card in his hand to Shangguan Feng: "Let's continue with our previous topic."

"Please accept these invitations."

"Wait, you should notify all the friends in the mutual aid association to come and distribute the invitations."

"By then, the people who have been keeping an eye on you, and those who are plotting the keycard, will definitely withdraw quietly after confirming the authenticity of the invitation."

Shangguan Feng looked at the invitations in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he pushed them back to Zhang Zhi and said, "You should send out these invitations."

"Also, I think it would be better to have a standard for these invitations. Only members who exceed that standard can receive the invitations. This will prevent any internal discord caused by the distribution of invitations."

"You have twenty invitations here. I'll study them over the next few days and set a standard to try to keep the number of people within twenty."

Zhang Zhi paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Each invitation can bring two people to the banquet, so more people can go to the banquet."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, people's hearts are unpredictable. You also know that the current quota for the banquet is extremely valuable on the black market, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

"After all, the invitation only has the holder's information on it, and the accompanying personnel are only counted if the holder of the invitation says so."

"So, if there is any problem with the holder of the invitation, please contact me in time."

"I still have some face at the moment. Even if the banquet has already begun, I can still bring people in."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Shangguan Feng nodded silently.

Zhang Zhi also felt that it was a bit risky to leave so many invitations with Shangguan Feng, so after thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I'll come to see you in three days."

"Within these three days, you will determine the quota and the corresponding personnel."

"At the same time, notify everyone in the mutual aid association now. Tell them that something important will happen in three days and that a general meeting will be held. No one can be left out."

Shangguan Feng nodded slowly after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Then, should we tell others about the invitation when we notify them?"

Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly and said, "No need. My movements these past few days are very clear. If you check, you'll know I've been sending invitations everywhere."

"So, if those who planned the keycard wanted to know, they could easily find out."

"It's only three days anyway. Even if they don't find out, they'll know after three days. I guess they still have a little patience."

Shangguan Feng nodded silently after hearing this.

After deciding on the countermeasures, Zhang Zhi did not stay with Shangguan Feng for long. After getting a general understanding of the internal situation of the mutual aid association, he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, when I was looking for your address at the school's Academic Affairs Office, I found out there was someone named Peng Huan in the club."

"Do you know that man?"

Shangguan Feng carefully recalled what he had said, then slowly said, "I have a little impression of him. What's the matter? Is there something wrong with that person's identity?"

Zhang Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I just happen to know someone named Peng Huan. However, she doesn't seem to be from a commoner background, so I was a little surprised to see her name on the list."

Shangguan Feng vaguely remembered that Peng Huan seemed to be a pretty girl. He smiled knowingly, but said calmly:

"I see. I'll spend some time these days to find out if that Peng Huan is the one you know, Brother Zhang."

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly, then stood up and said goodbye.

Shangguan Feng watched Zhang Zhi leave at the gate. After Zhang Zhi disappeared, he returned to the courtyard and murmured softly, "Is that teleporting card called a key card?"

"Brother Zhang Zhi was noticed by Professor Kongzi after he went to Xiayun University to participate in the Southeast Thirteen Regions Exchange Conference."

'But, he gave us the key card before that.'
"So, that key card shouldn't have been given to him by Professor Confucius."

"It seems that Brother Zhang Zhi has quite a few opportunities."

Not far from Shangguan Feng's residence, Zixia suddenly looked behind her and whispered to Zhang Zhi, "Someone is following us."

"I think it must be those people Shangguan Feng just mentioned, those who are planning the Trial Tower."

Zhang Zhi originally wanted to let those people know his identity, so after hearing Zixia's reminder, he immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction she pointed.

However, his cultivation was too low, and he was unable to detect any clues. After looking over there for a few times, he and Zixia continued to rush towards the teleportation tower.

He is now preparing to return to Yicheng, deliver the invitation to the principal, and visit the old dean.

After the two had left for a while, a voice came from the spot Zhang Zhi had just looked at: "Who were those two people just now?"

"It seems they've discovered us."

"Should we still follow?"

Another voice said, "That shouldn't be the case. With our mastery of the Law of Concealment, even an ordinary being of the middle level of divine power wouldn't be able to discover us."

"Among those two people just now, there is actually a powerful divine being?"

After a moment's hesitation, the voice said, "We must report this to the Lord!"

"You continue to keep an eye on Shangguan Feng. I'm going to find the master."

Another voice responded, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

Arriving at the Transmission Hall, Zhang Zhi glanced at Zixia beside him and asked, "Is anyone following?"

Zixia shook her head and said, "Not yet. I think after they knew we could spot them, they were afraid we would notice them, so they didn't catch up."

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly and slowly stepped into the teleportation array leading to Yicheng.

A flash of white light appeared, and the person appeared in Yicheng.

After leaving the teleportation hall, Zhang Zhi looked around. The scenery he saw was almost the same as the last time he returned to Yicheng through the teleportation hall.

Looking at the somewhat familiar scenery, he let out a sigh.

The first stop after returning to Yicheng is naturally the orphanage.

The orphanage at this time has changed a lot from before, and its size has increased ten times.

When he arrived at the dean's office and saw the busy dean wearing reading glasses, Zhang Zhi inexplicably felt a lump in his nose.

The old dean was extremely surprised when he saw Zhang Zhi coming back.

After staying in the yard for almost three hours, Zhang Zhicai got up and left.

In fact, Zhang Zhi originally planned to take a look and leave, because in a few days, he planned to bring the old dean to Fengjing University to live for a while.

However, only after the old dean told Zhang Zhi something with a serious face did he stay to understand the situation in detail.

After leaving the orphanage, Zhang Zhi looked back at the gate of the orphanage, and then looked around at the surrounding environment which had become somewhat unfamiliar due to the expansion of the orphanage. A trace of gloom flashed through his heart.

The old dean just told him that children have been missing in several cities around Yicheng during this period.

The old director learned this a few days ago after communicating with the directors of orphanages in other cities.
