Chi Yan's Concern
Shen Hui told Ye Long that he had a Low-Level Technology World Civilization Card.
When Ye Long heard this, he was immediately shocked, then said excitedly:
"Brother Shen, your luck is incredible. You absolutely have to sell it to me!"
"Don't worry about the price. I'll make sure you're satisfied. It'll definitely be much higher than what the World Association offers!"
"But I'll have to report back first before I can give you a specific price. We'll determine it based on the market price."
"You know how it is with things this rare. There's a price, but no market, so the price changes every day."
Shen Hui nodded. "All right, then I'll wait until you get back and ask around. I'll sell the rest of my things first."
They went to the trading area, where Shen Hui sold all the buildings from the fused Technology World.
He received 3.2 million World Coins and 50 World Association points.
Considering how much it had cost to create all those buildings, the sale price was certainly very low.
However, the various buildings and terrain already constructed in a world couldn't be reforged.
They could only be changed by using World Origin Power.
Otherwise, the only option was to scrap them and remove them from the world.
Only major powers like the World Association had the special technology needed to extract them.
The World Association also provided this technology to other major powers.
So this had turned waste into treasure, which was already pretty good.
Qingxue also sold all her things, and the three of them wandered around the World Association.
A little after four in the afternoon, Ye Long's father, Ye Yitian, and the World Association's branch president, Chi Yan, came to find them.
Clearly, the meeting that had started in the morning had only just ended.
"Uncle Ye, President!"
Shen Hui and Qingxue greeted them.
Chi Yan smiled. "You two really don't slack off at all. Ye Yitian told me you were both here, so I came to take a look."
Ye Yitian also smiled as he looked at Shen Hui and Qingxue.
"These two are both talented and hardworking. They're nothing like my kid, who does nothing but play all day."
"The only reason he's as strong as he is now is because he's been piled with resources."
"Ye Long, you should learn from them."
Although Ye Yitian put it that way, Ye Long was also extremely talented.
Without talent, even piling on resources wouldn't have let him improve so quickly.
Ye Long pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Then, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Dad, what's going on? Can't you tell us a little?"
Ye Yitian glanced at Chi Yan, apparently asking for her permission.
Chi Yan spoke up. "I can tell you a little. I came over because I wanted to talk to you about it."
As she spoke, Chi Yan looked at Shen Hui and Qingxue.
"This concerns the foreign races in the Starry Sky Battlefield..."
What Chi Yan told them was more or less the same as the rumor Ye Long had shared with them earlier.
It seemed that the foreign races had some kind of plan targeting Blue Star.
Now they could be sure it was true.
So Shen Hui and the others were all very shocked.
Chi Yan continued, "In short, things may be unsettled for a while. Security will be tightened in every region."
"Safety comes first. I have great expectations for you two."
"If you discover anything unusual, you can report it to me."
"Or if you run into any trouble, you can come to me for help."
"This is my personal contact information."
Chi Yan handed Shen Hui and Qingxue a business card each. There was a phone number on them.
Shen Hui and Qingxue took the cards and thanked her. It was clear that branch president Chi Yan truly had high hopes for them.
She was also concerned for their safety.
"Don't spread this around, in case it causes unnecessary panic."
After Chi Yan finished speaking, she seemed to have something else to take care of and left first.
Ye Yitian invited Shen Hui and Qingxue to have a meal with them.
Shen Hui was a straightforward person, so he didn't turn him down. Seeing that, Qingxue went along too.
The four of them had a meal at a luxurious five-star restaurant.
Shen Hui and Qingxue got to see something new.
After dinner, Ye Long offered to drive Shen Hui and Qingxue home.
The three of them got into the sports car, which soon raced along the road at full speed.
In the car, Shen Hui thought about what branch president Chi Yan had said that day, then spoke up:
"Although the branch president didn't give us many specifics, she confirmed that this really is happening."
Ye Long replied smugly, "I told you! My little birdie news is always spot-on!"
"Hey, that's not what you said today," Qingxue said, exposing Ye Long's smugness without hesitation.
Ye Long didn't mind at all.
Shen Hui thought for a moment and continued, "But it looks like they really don't know what's going to happen either."
The car fell silent for a moment, and only the roar outside remained.
But Ye Long soon spoke up, unconcerned.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's been safe for so many years. Are we really going to be in danger this time?"
"Besides, this isn't something we can worry about. If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up."
Shen Hui and Qingxue nodded, indicating their agreement.
With their current strength, they were the ones who needed protection.
Ye Long dropped Qingxue and Shen Hui off at their homes one after the other.
Ye Long also told Shen Hui he would give him a definite price for the Low-Level Technology Civ World Ilization Card the next day.
After returning home, Shen Hui tidied up his belongings.
He planned to find a place of his own to rent after the gathering.
As for sharing a place with Ye Long, Shen Hui decided against it.
The next day.
Around noon, Ye Long called Shen Hui.
He told him the price for the Low-Level Technology Civilization World Card.
"Brother Shen, if you only want World Coins, we can offer you 300 million World Coins."
"Of course, if you don't want World Coins, we can trade you one Low-Level World Origin Crystal and one Low-Level Scenario Progression Card instead."
Listening to Ye Long, Shen Hui thought 300 million World Coins was indeed a very high price.
The money Shen Hui had earned in his entire life didn't add up to that much.
If an ordinary person got that much money, they'd be set for life.
But Shen Hui was more interested in Ye Long's second offer.
The two items offered in exchange for the Low-Level Technology Civilization World Card were both things that were just as hard to come by.
Even with 300 million World Coins, he might not be able to buy them.
And the combined value of these two items was definitely greater than that of the Technology Civilization World Card Shen Hui was trading.
Ye Long had certainly helped get Shen Hui a better deal.
The Ye Family also had a hand in it because they had high hopes for Shen Hui.
So Shen Hui chose the second option without hesitation.
"Brother Ye, I'll take the second one."
"All right, no problem. I'll bring them over this afternoon."
"Brother Ye, thanks. If I get anything good in the future, I'll come to you first too."
