Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 71: Li Xiaoyu's Second Matter_3



This is the Li family's way of dealing with the world, very utilitarian and very useful.

Tang Xian's thought process was very simple, he only managed himself. He may not live in the most luxurious manner, but he would definitely live in the way that pleased him the most.

"Soon, I will be able to take you away. I've applied for visas to both the fifty-first and thirty-ninth fortresses," Li Xiaoyu said.

"Thank you."

"What are you going to do in the fifty-first fortress?"

"Akasi and the others have tracking devices left by the Evolution Zone on them, and I need to figure out a way to get rid of them."

"Then what about my matter? When do you plan to deal with it?" Li Xiaoyu said.

"After I take care of Akasi's issue," Tang Xian scooped up his noodles.

"Have you got a target?"

"An Nvwa Snake. If I'm lucky, I'll catch it at its weakest moment when it's evolving into a cataclysm-level boss and kill it. If not, then I'll have to wait."

Li Xiaoyu nodded, she didn't press for details. Tang Xian was much more professional than her when it came to these matters.

What she wanted to mention was another matter:

"At this year's Hunting Festival, the biggest dark horse might be the Song Family, unless you participate."

"I probably won't participate. I haven't put my team together yet."

Tang Xian felt the taste was a bit bland, so he reached for some seasoning salt.

Li Xiaoyu wasn't surprised by his answer and said,

"The location might be close to your base in the mining area. You might even have to move."

"What do you mean? Is the Hunting Festival's location in the Red Clay Forest?" Tang Xian asked.

"Yes."

"How much in advance will it be?"

"There's a little over a month left. The Hunting Festival will start, and hunters from all over the world will go to the Red Clay Forest to hunt creatures of the mining area."

Tang Xian frowned.

This was unexpected. Although the Red Clay Forest was some distance from the Tree Ocean, during the entire six days of the festival, when every hunter in the world was hunting creatures from the mining area, resources would become scarce. There would always be those who took risks and went to the neighboring Tree Ocean, where there were more creatures.

"Their intention is to use the red zones as a fence," Li Xiaoyu added.

Tang Xian nodded, his mind already calculating what to do.

Without Qing JiuYu's Tree Ocean, it wasn't even comparable to an ordinary yellow zone.

"This Hunting Festival, for most hunters, is an opportunity to leap to the heavens. Who wouldn't want an account in the fifth tier? It's probably going to be unprecedented in scale. As for choosing the edge of the red zone, it's actually to prepare for a large-scale reclamation of both yellow and red zones," Li Xiaoyu said seriously.

"After the Hunting Festival, the leaders of each fortress will lead the regular armies, as well as outstanding hunters, to conquer a large area of yellow zone—the Pelar Plains," Li Xiaoyu continued.

Tang Xian understood what this meant; humans rarely reclaimed mining areas on a large scale anymore. This operation was likely to be unprecedented in scale.

It also implied that mankind's conquest of the mining areas was about to enter a new stage.

At the same time, the legendary Court of Myriad Beasts was likely to organize an unprecedentedly large counterattack.

Not many disaster-level creatures and cataclysm-level boss creatures would appear. But there would definitely be one or two.

And disaster-level creatures, perfect-level creatures, and elite-level creatures would inevitably be plentiful.

Wars like this always produced countless heroes in human history.

"Akasi will play a significant role in this invasion. A top-tier 'eye' like you will take on a leader-level role. The second task I want you to do is to help each fortress capture this area, in the name of the Li family," Li Xiaoyu said.

"You think too highly of me. But if the Li family has arrangements by then, I'll help out."

Tang Xian agreed readily, quite to Li Xiaoyu's surprise.

Li Xiaoyu had thought that someone like him would outright refuse, given how troublesome the matter was.

Tang Xian said,

"There's still one more thing out of the three left undone; make sure it's a challenging one. Don't command me too easily. Since I've agreed to help you, don't spare my efforts. Your business is the most important to me. I will complete it as soon as possible."

All the unhappiness from the day before was swept away in an instant. Li Xiaoyu's cheeks grew warm, even her earlobes blushed.

This man... wasn't so indifferent after all.

"I'm going to call Akasi now. Li Zheng probably still harbors doubts, right? Let him come and verify the person."

Tang Xian was naturally not indifferent.

He had thought about what would happen if he told Li Xiaoyu and Li Zheng all of his secrets.

Li Zheng would think it was a fantasy, while Li Xiaoyu would be surprised but ultimately choose to believe in him.

This was something that he didn't know whether to be happy about.

But indeed, there was a young girl who harbored a somewhat superstitious belief in him.

Defeating a cataclysm-level boss, leading humans to conquer the yellow zone, acing the Trials of the Chosen, and other such feats impossible for ordinary humans.

Li Xiaoyu entrusted him with tasks because she had unwavering faith in his abilities.

Perhaps in this young girl's eyes, his worth was far greater than that of the first family of any fortress.

Value comes in two types: one is actual value, derived from various interests. The other is purely an emotional judgment.

Li Xiaoyu's trust in him clearly stemmed from a mix of both values.

How much each contributed, he couldn't tell.

Thinking deeply about it was troublesome, so he simply followed the attitude of being good to those who were good to him.

Upon receiving Tang Xian's message, Li Zheng quickly made his way to Bu Jing's residence.

He didn't just come; he also brought a group of fully armed guards. He obviously intended to verify Akasi's identity through force.

Tang Xian said nothing and went straight to the mining area, ready to move the fortresses with Akasi and Tang Suoye.
