I Want to See the Tower Master

Little C... has made something of himself.

Lu Ping actually thought Little C's idea was pretty good.

As for Little A...

With the addition of these Trait, as long as Lu Ping doesn't actively take down the other party, most people are willing to willingly offer their friendship to Lu Ping.

Therefore, Lu Ping chose B.

[You chose B.]

[You looked at Chen Zhao, still seemingly indifferent, but then uttered a shocking statement.]

"I want to see the original poster."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao was first taken aback, then burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"See the original poster?"

"Fellow Daoist, you overestimate me."

Chen Zhao shook his head.

"You and I are merely Nascent Soul. I am just a lowly Camp General, rarely even seeing the regional Garrison Guardian."

"What kind of status do you hold, esteemed host? Do you think I can simply grant you an audience?"

Chen Zhao waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

"If you desire Spirit Stones, Cultivation Method, or other Cultivation Resources, I can try to find a way. But if you wish to see the Lord of the Pavilion, please leave; I cannot help you with that."

You sit in the chair, completely still.

[You seem to have expected him to say that.]

[You look into Chen Zhao's eyes and speak slowly and deliberately.]

"Normally, Camp General is not qualified to directly request an audience with the host."

"But the Camp General has the right to issue one Feather Dispatch."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The atmosphere, which had just eased, instantly became tense again.

[Chen Zhao's Spiritual Power surged uncontrollably, drawing the Array Patterns within the Alchemy Chamber, causing them to flicker.]

[Chen Zhao questioned sternly.]

"How could an elder from a sect in the Central Region like you know the military secrets of my Demon-Suppressing Tower!"

"Who are you?!"

[Feather Dispatches are one of the core military command mechanisms of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.]

[Originally, only Fort Commanders or above were qualified to use it.]

[However, to prevent delays in combat operations, the Demon-Suppressing Tower also reserved one Camp General under the Twelve Forts: the privilege of reporting directly to a higher level.]

[But this privilege comes at a great cost.]

[Most people wouldn't know the intricacies involved. It's a pity you not only legitimately served in the Third Medicine Camp, but you also briefly led it.]

[You looked calmly at Chen Zhao, who seemed on high alert.]

How I know this is not important. What's important is what I want to tell you next.

"This matter is so important that I'm willing to exchange this Pill Formula for one of your Feather Dispatches."

After listening to your words, Chen Zhao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Military intelligence reports are not to be taken lightly!"

"If you meet with the Lord of the Tower and the matter you speak of is not urgent enough, or the intelligence is incorrect, I will be guilty of 'overstepping my authority and undermining morale'! At best, my cultivation will be abolished; at worst, my soul will be destroyed!"

[Options pop up.]

[A: Persuade with reason. It's time to show your workplace charm.]

[B: Subduing people with force. This little Nascent Soul, so hesitant and indecisive, is utterly useless. He's been thrown away, thrown away completely...]

[C: Pulls out a thick "betting agreement," stating that if Song Fuan disappears, you will compensate him with three times his salary and give him a signed photo of "Zhang San."]

Little B, calm down.

This is a place where Integrated Body Great Talent are stationed.

Leaving aside Song Fuan, even just the four nominally appointed Garrison Guardian are all at the Void Refining.

In the last simulation, the experts from the Array-Guarding Office who surrounded the Golden Crow Demon Emperor were also Void Refining cultivators.

Lu Ping chose A.

[You chose A.]

[Faced with Chen Zhao's questioning, you calmly took out a Jade Slip, placed it on the stone table, and gently pushed it forward.]

The Jade Slip slid across the table and stopped beside Chen Zhao.

"Brother Chen, please see my sincerity first."

Your voice is calm and gentle, without a trace of anger.

[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]

[The Workplace People-Pleaser, effective.]

Chen Zhao paused, his hand resting on the Military Command Token.

[He looked at your Black-Silk Feathered Sky-Patrol Robe, then glanced down at the Jade Slip beside him, and his hostility inexplicably subsided somewhat.]

[Chen Zhao himself was an Alchemist, and faced with a Pill Formula that seemed capable of changing the fate of the cultivators in the army, his instincts ultimately overcame his wariness.]

[Chen Zhao probed the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, his expression shifting several times.]

[From initial wariness and suspicion, to disbelief, and finally to utter shock.]

[The Pill Formula was genuine, even more ingenious and comprehensive than he had imagined.]

He held the Jade Slip in silence for a long time.

[You looked at Chen Zhao, who was still in shock, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup for each of them without any hesitation, as if you were the Camp General of the Third Medicine Camp.]

[Wait until Chen Zhao's expression calmed down before you continue.]

"Brother Chen is a discerning person; he can certainly tell the difference between genuine and fake."

[The Flattery has taken effect.]

[You put down your teacup.]

"If this elixir were widely used in the army, how many fewer comrades would die in each major battle? Brother Chen knows this better than I do."

You leaned slightly forward, meeting his gaze.

"And if Brother Chen were to report all these tremendous military achievements—improving the Pill Formula and contributing medicine to the army—what would the higher-ups at the Demon-Suppressing Tower think of you? How would the Tower Master reward you?"

"Brother Chen has been stuck in the Nascent Soul Late Stage for many years. If he were to receive top-tier resources from the tower, it wouldn't be a pipe dream for him to glimpse the Great Dao to Spirit Transformation in his lifetime."

"Publicly, Brother Chen has saved countless lives; privately, Brother Chen 'Dao Path is promising."

"I merely wish to use Brother Chen's Feather Dispatch to request an audience with the Master."

"Brother Chen, do you still feel this deal was a loss?"
