Crippled Monkey set up a table on the city wall.
Chen Fan sat quietly at the table. Across from him sat a Hundred Flowers Pavilion member sent by the command post. He had ultimately decided to take the "formation trap" route to advance to an eighth-level continent.
That meant he needed to earn 20 million merit points.
He was still 6.5 million merit points short.
One more high-reward mission would probably be enough to complete the advancement, so he asked Command Post No. 002 to arrange one for him. They had indeed found something.
But...
Before issuing the assignment, they sent a Hundred Flowers Pavilion member to assess his psychological condition.
He felt rather helpless about that.
To put it nicely...
Of all the high-level continent lords, he considered himself the most normal. If even his psychological condition counted as problematic, then not a single continent lord was normal.
Still, he could understand.
After all, the higher-ups might be worried that he had been beguiled by the "demon," possessed, or had his body taken over. They needed to make sure he was still himself and get a general understanding of his relationship with the demon.
"Hello."
Across from him sat a stern-faced middle-aged man, who said gravely, "My name is Lin Chong. I'm a member of the Human Race's Hundred Flowers Pavilion. I've been ordered to gather some information, and I hope Domain Lord Chen will cooperate briefly."
A young girl stood behind the man.
She held a notebook against her chest, pen in hand, ready to take notes at any moment.
"And..."
After a moment's hesitation, the man looked at Crippled Monkey, Jiu Wu, Qi Yue, Xuan Ba, and the others behind Chen Fan. "I'd like this conversation to be relatively private. These people..."
Chen Fan glanced behind him.
