Forget It, Let's Hold a Banquet First!

"How many of the elite second-generation children raised by big Families are idiots?" Su Ye couldn't help but think.

Lin Xiaoxiao's ability to become the top novice Merchant Lord in this generation may have its own reasons, but those reasons only account for a small portion of the story.

The real reason is her ability, connections, and the capital behind her.

Capitalism is man-eating, man-eating, man-eating—I'll say it three times because it's important.

"Why do I always run into these cunning and shrewd people?" Su Ye thought to himself, somewhat frustrated. Shouldn't Lin Xiaoxiao be the one throwing herself at him, according to normal circumstances?

Damn it, novels are definitely a lie.

What elite second-generation member of a top Families would act like some naive and innocent girl?

They're even paying me out of pocket?

Su Ye felt like he was about to be eaten alive.

As for why Su Ye felt this way, it's because Su Ye also deceived people in the same way; they're just like him, neither of them are good people.

Su Ye himself is no good, so what kind of good person could be so compatible with him?

What's more, they come from a prominent Families and show no Pride whatsoever, which is the most absurd thing.

Not to mention Lin Xiaoxiao, Su Ye is now incredibly arrogant because of the Troops under his command.

Lin Xiaoxiao's behavior suggests either she's a naive and innocent girl who knows nothing, or she's a cunning shrew who's hiding her true intentions well. Su Ye is more inclined to believe the latter.

After all, someone who's truly naive and innocent won't be groomed as an heir.

"The naive and innocent rich kids in novels, I really want to laugh," Su Ye thought with a bit of a headache. Damn it, everything turns out differently when it comes to me.

"Run, I have to run. Once the Novice Period is over, I'll run. Plans never keep up with changes." Su Ye thought with a headache. He really couldn't afford to mess with these second-generation rich kids anymore. (Don't worry, there won't be any poison, and I won't feel aggrieved!!)

Damn it, there really is a god behind these people.

"I have no choice but to rely on the Empire. Here I come, Imperial Capital University." Su Ye thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have no choice but to take the Academy Faction route.

There are no other options; they have their own people, so the only option is the Academy Faction.

Even if it's just to be a figurehead or latch onto a powerful figure, it's the only path you can take if you haven't truly grown.

As for hoping that Lin Xiaoxiao and the forces behind her will be lenient with him and protect him, don't even think about it. Such a thing will never happen to a large Families.

It's even less likely to happen in these Great Merchant Guild.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not Su Ye's style.

As time passed, Su Ye sat on the grass, sensing the impending crisis.

The proverb "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" illustrates this point. There was no reason or grudge involved; it was simply because Su Ye demonstrated his ability to make money.

They're making way too much money.

"These days, no matter what world you're in, if you don't have a powerful backer or a powerful background, this is how it will be. You simply have no choice," Su Ye couldn't help but think.

As time passed, the Bloody Battle battle came to an end.

Twelve hours have passed.

Su Ye stretched and stood up from the grass, looking at the corpses in his Territory.

"Decomposition!!"

[Ding: You have Decomposition 80 million corpses, obtaining 16 million Origin Crystal!]

Su Ye looked at the Origin Crystal he had obtained from the Decomposition and was not surprised at all.

With a thought, a 16 million Golden Treasure Chest appeared in front of Su Ye.

Su Ye directly chose to open it.

You will receive 40 million Primary Resource Card for each of the following: Primary Spirit Iron, Primary Anti-Magic Stone, Primary Spirit Jade, and Primary Enchantment Stone.

Su Ye looked at what had been opened again.

"Tsk tsk, so they're not acting anymore?" Su Ye curled his lip, put away the resources, and looked a little unhappy.

"Never mind, let's start the banquet first." Su Ye thought, stroking his chin, and put his arm around Christine beside him, heading straight for the center of the Territory.

"The banquet is starting!!!" Su Ye's voice rang out throughout the Territory.

Christine smiled as she looked at the Hero Unit gathered around Su Ye. Lilith's eyes flashed with a strange light, which she then concealed.

Atop the Monument of Immortality, a flash of light appeared, revealing a line of text.

[On the 3rd day of the 1st month of the Emperor Calendar, at night, the Emperor, troubled by worries, used a banquet as a pretext to alleviate his sorrow, indulging in debauchery. Throughout history, no one has ever seen such a shameless person. Yet, the Emperor showed no remorse, indulging in nightly revelry, a veritable Wine Pool and Meat Forest. He even ordered his goddesses to don silk stockings and dance for his amusement. This behavior escalated to the point where he was no different from a tyrant. This account is recorded without alteration, to be passed down to posterity!]

As time went by.

late at night.

Christine looked at the Hero Unit that had appeared in her research institute.

Istar, Thalys, Bai Ling.

"Tsk tsk, how did you find out?" Christine looked at Istar, Thalys, Bai Ling with some curiosity.

"Isn't it normal for something like this to be discovered?" Istar said with a smile. Lilith seemed a bit off today, a little anxious and uncertain.

A little observation will reveal the problem.

Moreover, Christine carries Lilith's aura.

Christine looked at Istar, Thalys, and Bai Ling, then nodded.

Half an hour later, Istar, Thalys, and Bai Ling left the Gene Research Institute one after another. As for what they did, only they knew.

Nothing more was said that night.

Su Ye was fast asleep, holding Hexi in his arms.

Day 24 of the Novice Period!!

Early in the morning, Su Ye awoke from the vast embrace of Hexi.

The old horse knew the way and headed towards the Chaos Spring Water. After a few sips of the spring water, Su Ye was revived and moved his somewhat stiff body.

Keisha, Alisa, Olides, and Laina appeared before Su Ye.

Su Ye looked at Keisha and the other three. "Go."

Keisha, Alisa, Olides, and Laina led their legions directly to the Territory of Nangong Yabing, Nangong Yaxue, and Tang Wuxue.

This is the task Su Ye gave them, and it will continue for the next few days.

"There are only a few days left." Su Ye looked at his Territory with a hint of regret; the Novice Period was about to end.

Su Ye checked today's Star of Blessing buff!!

Ascension: Your Troops can enter an Ascension state, lasting for 24 hours!!

Su Ye:...

"It's useless." Su Ye looked at the buff. It was strong, but useless. At this stage, there was nothing that could threaten his Troops, so this buff was completely useless.

Two figures appeared beside Su Ye: Hexi and Scarlett!

Su Ye nodded at the two of them, then walked over to the Cornucopia.

[Ding: You have received 5 million Gold Coin!]

[Ding: You have obtained the Golden Blueprint: Faster-Than-Light Engine!]

"Hmm?" Su Ye looked at the things he had obtained from the Cornucopia.

It's alright, quite good. Although it can't compare to Barracks, it's still pretty good. Faster-Than-Light Engine, this thing can be given to Xi Yue to research. I believe Xi Yue won't let me down.
