Seeing the pained look on Yun Muchen's face, Chen Changan said helplessly, "Is it really necessary?"
"You're the head of a household, for goodness' sake. Why are you so stingy?"
"What do you know? Little things add up!"
Stingy was stingy. What was this about little things adding up? Just an excuse.
"Enough, let's talk business. When does the Five Clans' Resource Battle begin?"
"And what are the rules?"
"It'll start in about three months."
"Each clan will send eight people to compete in the Five Clans' Resource Battle."
"The venue is a Small Heaven and Earth that all five clans will open together."
"The rules are simple: capture the flag!"
"Whichever clan captures the flag first wins."
"Afterward, they'll have priority control over the resources for five hundred years."
Capture the flag?
That didn't seem difficult at all. Pretty simple.
"There's something I don't quite understand. Why are the younger generation taking part? For something this important, shouldn't you send the strongest members of each clan?"
"After all, this is about control over the resources of all five clans."
Chen Changan voiced the question on his mind. Control over the resources of the five clans was no trivial matter.
"At first, the five clans really did send their strongest members to compete in the Resource Battle."
"But... the main reason the five clans decided to hold a Resource Battle in the first place was that none of us was much stronger than the others."
"If the strongest members like us competed, the fighting would never end."
"The first Resource Battle went on for more than thirty years..."
"How many years?"
"More than thirty years? Damn, you guys have serious stamina."
Chen Changan hadn't expected these people to spend thirty years fighting over a single Resource Battle. That really was
