Chapter 101 Yingzhao's Duties
Xia Jie's tyrannical and domineering way of establishing his kingdom also greatly provoked those who had the opportunity to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm!
These people are working even harder to collect emotional crystallizations. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Such fierce and ruthless people have appeared in reality.
However, the technology in reality is insufficient to compete with it; only the extraordinary can fight against the extraordinary, such as the Onmyoji.
People's desire for power has reached a new critical point. It is difficult to obtain extraordinary power in reality, but it is possible in the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Once you pay off your debts and accumulate enough emotional crystals, you can exchange anything on the Mountain and Sea Wonders Ranking on Bright Island!
Even if something happens in reality, such as the sudden resurgence of people like Guan Yuan Daozhen and Jie, they will have the ability to deal with it. At least they shouldn't be like the American army or the people of Shikoku Island, completely powerless and getting beaten up in various ways.
"Lord Yingzhao, those barbarians have actually followed our example, selling love-gathering gourds and pledging allegiance to powerful factions? I utterly despise their behavior! I suggest you strike them dead with a bolt of lightning!" Chen Yang walked to Yingzhao's side and secretly complained.
"If you can do it, why can't others?" As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, Ying Zhao glanced at him with her wise eyes and said.
"What do you think my role is here?" Yingzhao asked Chen Yang.
"Huh? Duties? Let me think!" Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Ensure the trials proceed smoothly, select suitable people to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm! Open gambling dens, sell Emotion-Gathering Gourds, and send people to other islands to earn Emotion Crystals!"
"Opening a gambling den, selling for profit, and extraditing others are all just side jobs! I don't care about these pittances! You don't think that little bit of emotional investment is enough to tempt me, do you?" Yingzhao's voice was calm!
"My duty is simply to select, maintain order, and ensure that the people of Jade Island can pursue a better life!"
"How can we pursue a better life? At least we should make sure they can establish themselves in the Mountain and Sea Realm! Emotional Crystals are the universal currency of the Mountain and Sea Realm. We just need to ensure that those who pass the trials can continuously obtain currency! It's like if you copy me, I can not care. If they copy me, I also cannot care! As long as they don't go too far, I can tolerate it."
"Oh! As expected of Lord Yingzhao! He truly cares for all living beings, and is indeed compassionate, benevolent, and righteous! Speaking of which, what counts as going to extremes?" Chen Yang asked with some curiosity, thinking that he definitely couldn't step on any landmines in the future!
"For example, they take advantage of their pioneering status to block the path for those who come after them, intending to force them to depend on them!"
For example, causing panic on Qingyu Island, those all count! Yingzhao's voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority, as if he had already seen through people's deepest calculations.
"Oh! So that's why you didn't stop Luo Jiuchuan from making us sign the contract! I thought it was because you and him had a past relationship!" Chen Yang suddenly realized.
"It's more appropriate for Luo Jiuchuan to see you as an investment. He's taking your future value without cutting off your future, so naturally I have no reason to stop him!" Yingzhao said.
"That's not right! You said your duty is to select suitable people, so why didn't you start the trial for Tokugawa Koji when he was around? He doesn't have the inheritance of a divine beast, and he doesn't have the identity of a Qingyu Island resident, so what's going on?" Chen Yang asked in confusion.
"No newcomers have entered the Mountain and Sea Realm for a hundred years. Now that someone has entered, it means the Mountain and Sea Realm is starting to change! You lot are all silent, saying it's not worth starting a trial just for him. Let's keep him until it's worth starting a trial and throw him in together!"
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Yang's lips twitched involuntarily. Good heavens, so Tokugawa Koji's "idleness" in the Mountain and Sea Realm during that time wasn't because he wasn't qualified, but because Lord Yingzhao thought "holding a separate exam would be too wasteful," and thus piled him up for "mass processing"!
"I see—Sir, you are truly—thrifty and hardworking." Chen Yang finally managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.
Yingzhao seemed to sense the sarcasm in his words and gave him a dismissive glance: "Alright, you called me here just to report someone? Is there anything else?"
"They've accumulated a batch of emotional crystals, enough for them to obtain the status of Bright Island residents. They need to be extradited by the adults!" Chen Yang pointed to the people beside him.
"Ah! Brother Chen, aren't you going? Is it because you gave me the emotional crystal?" Kong Shizhang asked. "If that's the case, you can go first. I'm not in a hurry!"
"Yes! Xiao Chen, if you don't have enough emotional crystals, we can get you some!" Wang Jianguo said in return.
"What are you thinking? I'm the protagonist, and I'm going to try crossing Bright Island by myself! If I can't, then I'll come back to find Lord Yingzhao!" Seeing his companions so excited, Chen Yang had no choice but to tell them the truth!
This would be outrageous if it happened to someone else, but it's normal for Chen Yang!
"Even Bodhidharma needed a reed to cross the river, so what makes you think you can do it on your own?" Su Fan couldn't help but retort! After all, Chen Yang was only at the sixth level of martial arts. Was he strong? Yes, he was! But he definitely couldn't do it!
"That's right! Brother Chen! We can just hitch a ride with Yingzhao, there's no need for that!" Kong Shizhang also advised.
"Chen Yang, stop fooling around!" Jiang He also advised.
"I, a dignified sixth-dan martial artist, am merely crossing two floating islands. How will I know I can't do it if I don't even try!" Chen Yang, caught up in his passion, completely ignored his companions' advice!
"I'm off!" Chen Yang shouted, circulating his inner energy. With the added boost of movement techniques like the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens Step, his legs felt as if they were equipped with springs!
It flew about ten meters off the ground and headed towards Bright Island!
The result was, unsurprisingly, that they fell straight down! They respawned at the respawn point, and Su Fan and the others waited for Chen Yang to return!
"Isn't this Sixth Rank Bro? Weren't you supposed to be crossing the floating island? Why are you back?" Su Fan teased.
"Brother Su, don't laugh at me! My plan failed, it's fate! Heaven doesn't help me, what can I do?" Chen Yang sighed.
"Brother Tianming! It seems your destiny isn't protecting you after all!" Jiang He rarely joked like this!
Chen Yang didn't reply! He took out ten Emotion Crystals and handed them to Ying Zhao, saying, "This is for my travel expenses!"
Seeing this, everyone stopped teasing and paid the toll together. Yingzhao lightly stepped on the ground, and a magnificent rainbow bridge appeared!
The group stepped onto the rainbow bridge, but instead of solidifying, the bridge transformed into specks of light, propelling them rapidly along its path. When they opened their eyes again, they were already on Bright Island.
Upon arrival, everyone received the information.
[Pay 50,000 Emotion Crystals to become a resident of Bright Island.]
Fortunately, they had all accumulated enough emotional crystals to pay the expense. They felt as if they had gained a power that allowed them to travel freely between Bright Island and Jade Island!
