Finding Opportunities, Leaving Them to Me

"Do not move."

Hua Yunfan immediately spoke up.

Qin Han remained Jingjing in place.

Time passed little by little.

A moment later, the spirit beast's aura disappeared.

Qin Han finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After confirming that it was generally safe, Qin Han tried again.

This palace is clearly not one that can be entered at will.

Soon, some more noise was heard.

Qin Han's movements froze slightly, and he decisively sensed the direction of the spirit beast.

This time, the spirit beast was incredibly quiet, as if it hadn't heard a thing.

"This spirit beast is so friendly, it's like heaven is helping me!"

Qin Han said softly, greatly surprised.

I considered countless possibilities, but this is the final outcome.

In that case, there shouldn't be any problem if I just swagger over here.

Hua Yunfan was also surprised.

This made her feel somewhat uneasy.

The spirit beast's behavior was quite abnormal. Even if it wasn't assigned to guard the palace here, the location where Qin Han was now could already be considered its territory.

For Beast Race, who place great importance on territory, the current behavior of this spirit beast is highly illogical.

But upon closer reflection, all of this wasn't too strange to Lu Changzhi, who was observing everything before him.

If we go by Qin Han's logic, then I'm probably the "heaven" he's talking about.

The reason these spirit beasts behaved this way was clearly because they were frightened by the commotion they had made in their circle earlier.

Although spirit beasts are warlike, they are not stupid.

Having just experienced a cataclysmic upheaval, the area around us that we can perceive has suddenly become limited again.

At this moment, all the spirit beasts huddled together in place.

As for the influence of darkness, it has absolutely no effect on this circle now.

On the contrary, one action helped Qin Han twice, which surprised Lu Changzhi somewhat.

Qin Han did indeed get the lucky break.

Well, you stumbled upon this opportunity and let it slip to me.

After confirming that the nearby spirit beasts were friendly, Qin Han got busy.

The treasure is inside the palace, but the process will not be easy.

To obtain it, some effort is still unavoidable.

Lu Changzhi had no interest in looking at these things.

"It's time to deal with Zhou Xun's matter as well."

Lu Changzhi said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

Back at the main body, Ling'er was already calling her for dinner.

"Then I'll give you a little more time."

He didn't have any reservations about this matter.

There's only one principle: Eating comes first!

Lu Changzhi then brought his External Avatar into the circle, stopping not far from the palace, before withdrawing his focus.

"They're eating so early today!"

As he stepped out of the house, Lu Changzhi spoke.

Compared to yesterday when we ate dinner a long time after dark, today's mealtime was much earlier.

Gu Chen nodded and said:

"Because I have some things planned for the evening, I decided to eat early so I can rest afterwards."

"Oh?" Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly as he said:

"What is it?"

"It's also for hunting spirit beasts," Gu Chen explained.

"According to Junior Sister Qin's estimation, the number of spirit beasts in this secret realm should be limited, but there are many people entering. The longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to find spirit beasts."

"Therefore, we plan to hunt spirit beasts at night as well."

As he spoke, Gu Chen glanced at the outer parts of the city and then added:

"After announcing the city's opening, a large number of people have arrived. However, compared to the last time, this opening has some additional conditions. As before, entering the city is not subject to light, but there is one requirement."

"Among those Beast Race who have been attracted here, they are not allowed to hunt the spirit beasts; they must leave the spirit beasts to us."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued:

"To incentivize them, we will reward those who contribute spirit beasts with certain resources and radiance."

After hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.

Afterwards, I inquired about other details of the matter, such as how to prevent the fighting and the level of resource distribution.

As always, it's reassuring.

His disciples are very thorough in their considerations when they do things.

That is indeed the case.

Lu Changzhi also realized that the system's decision to assign ten thousand spirit beasts was indeed partly due to a training element.

If ten thousand spirit beasts can be easily found, killing that many will not be too difficult for them.

After all, spirit beasts are a very broad category, and there are old, weak, sick, and disabled spirit beasts among them.

Powerful, adult, and high-ranking creatures may be difficult to kill, but it's quick to take down the weak.

But the situation inside the secret realm is clearly different.

Ten thousand spirit beasts—that's no small number, really.

Now, as the day has passed, the group has been working from dawn till dusk, and so far, the number of trial missions they have completed is only about three thousand.

Spirit beasts aren't everywhere, so reaching that number is still quite difficult.

This approach is a good strategy.

By leveraging the light and cultivation resources, and integrating the city's human resources, we can maximize efficiency.

Simply put, it's about hiring people to work.

While everyone was eating, the city was already bustling with activity.

"It's about time, guys. Let's go, let's go kill the monster."

"I think we should go further afield. There will be fewer people around, less competition, and it will be easier to find spirit beasts. Then we can just lure them over."

"It's better to play it safe and take it slow. If we encounter a large number of spirit beasts, it won't be profitable anymore; whether we can even escape will be another matter."

Whether what they say is true or not, we'll see tonight. If they really keep their promise, I'll stick with them from now on.

"Me too, but I feel they're telling the truth. The fact that they don't accept the light entering the city already shows they're different."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion and high spirits.

While other cities were frantically collecting spiritual energy, this place was behaving the opposite.

Not only do they not want them, but they can actually use spirit beasts to exchange for cultivation resources and light. Moreover, as long as the spirit beast doesn't die, the more severely injured it is, the greater its value.

The fruits of one's labor belong to oneself; how could one not be excited about that?

While Lu Changzhi and his group were eating, a large number of people suddenly surged out of the city, their sheer numbers creating a spectacular sight.

Not long after, they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Lu Changzhi's attention returned to the clone.

"System, give me Zhou Xun's location."

Too lazy to search, I'll just let the system display it for me.

After glancing at the approximate location, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

I gave you a chance, but you failed.

Even after he had finished eating and returned home, Zhou Xun hadn't left; instead, he remained huddled in his previous spot.

This is exactly what they're waiting for me to do to them.

As a considerate person, he would naturally try to meet the other person's needs.
