Universe's Ultimate BOSS

Chapter 276: Is Chapter 275 your doing?

“It seems our deal is done!” Qiu Linghan said with a covered smile.

Wang Hao glanced at Qiu Linghan and said indifferently, “The ancient relic is just news. Whether I can benefit from it is still uncertain. If you want those Mechas, give me one percent of Skyfire Company’s shares, exactly five percent.”

“You…” Qiu Linghan’s smile vanished in an instant, her cheeks puffing out in anger, she almost wanted to slap the bastard. He was indeed seizing every opportunity to gain benefits!

“Ha ha…” Qiu Dong laughed heartily, stroking his beard, “You sly little thing, really cunning. Alright, we’ll give you five percent of the shares, and even the Qiu family will fully support you in exploring this ancient relic.”

“Help me!?” Wang Hao looked puzzled.

Qiu Linghan nodded and said seriously, “This ancient relic is very peculiar, only people under the age of twenty can enter, those over twenty can’t enter at all.”

“How magical!” Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Dong nodded firmly, “Exactly what the Ancient humans were like, no one knows. But one thing is certain, their Martial Arts were much stronger than modern Martial Arts, and this is recognized by everyone, so this setting is completely understandable.”

“You helping me like this, are there any conditions!?” Wang Hao nodded and then squinted his eyes, sizing up the father and daughter duo—sly businessmen are not likely to help him for no reason.

“The young one is clever. We have only one requirement,” Qiu Dong said, stroking his beard and smiling, “If you can find an Inheritance Crystal in this relic, the Inheritance Crystal will belong to you personally, but our two families can use each other’s Inheritance Crystals.”

“This is a mutually beneficial arrangement, and I see no reason to refuse,” Wang Hao agreed, nodding. Given the myriad attributes of Inheritance Crystals, choosing which two attributes to pair becomes particularly important.

Therefore, among the noble families, it was common to exchange Inheritance Crystals for use, the President’s quarters being an exception, as they had a comprehensive collection and had no need to ask others.

“When do we go to this ancient relic!?” Wang Hao asked curiously.

Qiu Linghan calculated for a moment and said, “This ancient relic opens once every three years, and it’s been three years since it last opened. It should open in half a month.”

“Opens once every three years!?” Wang Hao frowned, “Has this ancient relic been explored before!?”

Qiu Linghan nodded, her expression solemn, “This ancient relic was discovered nine years ago, but those who entered in the first two instances couldn’t fully explore the relic. However, the treasures they obtained were unprecedented. Therefore, this time around, major forces have decided to send their strongest juniors under twenty to explore.”

“The strongest juniors!?” Wang Hao curled his lip, clearly not holding these individuals in high regard.

Qiu Dong spoke seriously, “You can’t take this lightly, there are many formidable characters among these juniors.”

“Many? And formidable characters!?” Wang Hao was slightly startled, wondering if there were any among the interstellar federation’s twenty-year-olds who were stronger than him.

Qiu Linghan explained, “Among the major forces, there are two methods of nurturing juniors, one is nurturing those with potential, and the other is nurturing those without potential!”

“Potential? No potential?” Wang Hao was clearly confused, not understanding what that meant.

Qiu Linghan continued to explain, “Nurturing those with potential means this junior has the potential to break through to Martial Emperor, so they take their time to establish a solid foundation for him, never rushing his progress. However, nurturing those without potential means this junior’s highest achievement would be Martial King, so they opt for force-feeding training, not caring about the foundation at all as long as his cultivation reaches Martial King. Then they arrange various missions for them to gain real combat experience.”

“So, you mean to say, these formidable characters are all Martial Kings!?” Wang Hao frowned, understanding now that these so-called potential talents were the successors nurtured by the major forces, while the ones without potential were the enforcers nurtured by the major forces. @@novelbin@@

Qiu Linghan nodded, “They mostly consist of Martial Kings of the first and second level, and we’ll also assign you ten Martial King guards.”

“Such stinginess? Only ten?” Wang Hao gave Qiu Linghan a disdainful look.

Qiu Linghan glared at Wang Hao, “It’s not about being stingy, but there’s a limit to the number of people that can enter this ancient relic each time, so given the distribution among the major powers, we can only allocate ten Martial King guards to you.”

“All the major powers have a limit on the number of people!?” Wang Hao curiously asked, “Then can I take the spots from the Potion Guild?”

Qiu Linghan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “The Potion Guild usually doesn’t participate in such events, but if you really want to go, I think the Potion Guild will fight for you.”

“Then go and talk to the Potion Guild for me,” Wang Hao waved his hand with an attitude of ‘you handle it.’ “I want to participate, have them prepare Martial King guards for me!”

Qiu Linghan nodded, expressing her willingness to communicate with the Potion Guild on Wang Hao’s behalf, since the more Martial King guards they brought, the more treasures they would obtain and the safer it would be.

Just then, Guan Xinxiong walked over, “Elder Qiu, regarding the cooperation, someone specialized will come to communicate with you later. For now, I need to take Song Jie away.”

Qiu Dong laughed out loud, “That’s right, go ahead and exchange Song Jie for Li Yunyang! Otherwise, after half a month at the ancient relic, your Military Department will have no one to go.”

“Our Military Department has plenty of talents, Li Yunyang is nothing special,” Guan Xinxiong snorted coldly.

“Is that so!?” Wang Hao looked at Guan Xinxiong with surprise, “Since he’s nothing special, that’s really good then.”

“What do you mean!?” Guan Xinxiong’s brows furrowed, sensing an undertone in Wang Hao’s words.

“Nothing much,” Wang Hao smiled slightly, “Just that I heard from Song Jie that Li Yunyang got messed up by twenty men from the Yao Tian Federation.”

“Messed up!!”

Everyone widened their eyes, shocked.

“Why are you looking at me?” Wang Hao shrugged innocently, “I only heard it from Song Jie.”

Guan Xinxiong’s face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, “Let’s go!”

Watching the departing Military Department folks, Qiu Dong asked in a low voice, “Younger brother, did you have a hand in Li Yunyang getting messed up?”

Wang Hao smiled, with everything implied.

“You sly dog, you’re really too bad,” Qiu Dong burst out laughing. Regarding this matter, he could only say… well done!

Watching Qiu Dong and Wang Hao making merry and laughing lively, Qiu Lei clutched his chest, feeling an inexplicable pain.

Today was supposed to be his grand return, and he should have been the star of this welcoming party, but in the end, Wang Hao had completely stolen the limelight, with everyone revolving around him and completely forgetting about him as the main character.

How could anyone understand the feeling of being upstaged!

Seeing this scene, Bai Bian shook his head and muttered, “A demon appears, not everyone can compare, young master just accept your fate! You won’t be taking back the limelight.”
