Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2842 Hu Quan’s Ambitions!
Zong Ze would not invest effort in roles he was uninterested in. Hence, he would definitely ask Lin Yuan for roles related to combat and fighting. This was exactly what happened.

Zong Ze told Lin Yuan straightforwardly, “City Lord, do you have any sectors related to combat that will allow me to train? I have always been skilled at combat. When I opened a chamber of commerce with Gu Lang, he handled most of the management responsibilities. I wasn’t any help at all! If I have to manage something or work with someone in such a role, I will become useless and have nothing to do!”

Zong Ze was very aware of his abilities and was unwilling to do anything he did not want to do. He detested being an inconvenience to others. Otherwise, he could have insisted on being assigned the same role as Gu Lang and sat back while Gu Lang did all the work. After all, given his relationship with Gu Lang, the latter would never resent him for acting this way.

Lin Yuan had thought about Zong Ze’s situation and had come up with an arrangement for him. Even if Zong Ze had not brought this up, Lin Yuan would not have sent Zong Ze to do something he was not skilled at doing.

Truthfully, aside from combat, Zong Ze was also skilled at the organization that came after a battle. Lin Yuan had discovered this while developing in the abyssal world alongside Zong Ze.

Before leaving the main world, Chef Supreme had intentionally visited Lin Yuan and told him all about Zong Ze.

Chef Supreme had watched Zong Ze grow up, and they became especially close after Li Changlin refused to receive Chef Supreme’s teachings. Moreover, Chef Supreme’s second disciple, Xia Chen, was fully focused on running the Kitchen Fragrance Palace. Hence, Chef Supreme had lavished all his love and affection on Zong Ze.

Chef Supreme had also told Lin Yuan about Zong Ze’s battle organization and planning talents.

Chef Supreme knew that Zong Ze did not like to brag about himself. If Lin Yuan was unobservant, Chef Supreme was certain that Zong Ze’s talents would go unnoticed for a long time. Telling Lin Yuan about all this was the final thing he could do for Zong Ze as his master.

Lin Yuan had begun making preparations for Zong Ze long ago.

“Zong Ze, I previously asked you to communicate with the demon insects. You must be very aware of the demon insects’ circumstances. I will be asking Keira and the demon insects to help with the migration of the villagers.

“Why don’t you stay with her and help with this task? Once the migration of the villages is completed, Keira will send the demon insects all over the territory to collect and take control of the other species. I’m sure you’re interested in this job as well!”

Zong Ze’s eyes lit up. He was not very interested in helping Keira with the migration of the villages, but he was far more interested in going with the demon insects to take over other species!

This direction perfectly aligned with Zong Ze’s adventurous spirit.

Zong Ze was not the only one whose eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yuan’s arrangements. Bai Qinghuan’s eyes lit up as well.

Bai Qinghuan was also interested in such a direction, but Lin Yuan had yet to assign a role to her. This caused her to feel rather disappointed.

Previously, she was the one who had made an error. Bai Qinghuan did not know if Lin Yuan was still angry with her.

Just like Zong Ze, Bai Qinghuan was also very willing to fight for her own opportunities. She mustered her courage and said, “City Lord, I would also like to go with Keira. With my talents, I will definitely be able to help her!

“Keira isn’t human, and the way she comprehends things differs from humans in certain ways. With me around, I will be able to prevent her from making the wrong choices! Please give me this opportunity. I won’t make the same mistake again.”

While Bai Qinghuan was begging Lin Yuan, she essentially put on a presentation, clearly describing her skills. She also expressed that she had learned from her previous actions, showing Lin Yuan that she had grown.

Bai Qinghuan was very enthusiastic. Her ability to deliver such a speech indicates not only her loyalty but also her sincere desire to contribute to the development of Sky City. This commitment goes beyond personal growth, highlighting her dedication to the city’s progress.

Given that she had learned from her mistake, Lin Yuan was willing to give her a chance.

Unlike Return to Ruins, Keira was unaware of Lin Yuan’s attitude toward Bai Qinghuan and would not leverage this to bully her. Keira was also able to communicate with Lin Yuan anytime she wanted and only listened to Lin Yuan’s orders.

Without direct orders from Lin Yuan, not even Liu Jie, Wen Yu, or the Moon Empress could get Keira to do anything!

Wen Yu and Liu Jie needed to contact Lin Yuan each time they needed help from the demon insects.

If Bai Qinghuan had not learned from her mistake and continued doing whatever she wanted, Keira would give Bai Qinghuan a rude wake-up call.

Bai Qinghuan’s abilities were still formidable. Once she arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, her abilities elevated significantly from the level they were at in the main world.

But none of these were the reasons Lin Yuan was giving her another chance.

If Bai Qinghuan didn’t grasp the lesson from her previous experience, Lin Yuan would kick her out of Sky City’s group of main members and relegate her to the ranks of the white-clothed followers’ reserve sequence.

“Okay. Since you’ve admitted and reflected on your previous mistake, you can work with Keira and Zong Ze in the future!”

Now, among all of Sky City’s main members, Hu Quan was the only one who did not have a plan laid out for him.

Hu Quan had been working doggedly by Lin Yuan’s side for the past few years. He and his disciples had worked tirelessly to build Sky City and infrastructure in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Even a regular person who had contracted the Vitality Sloth would not work themselves to such a degree.

First, Lin Yuan acknowledged Hu Quan’s contributions to Sky City before asking him, “Hu Quan, you are still Sky City’s head designer and are in charge of construction. What plans do you have for your future development?”

Lin Yuan was showing Hu Quan the greatest respect by asking him such a question at this meeting.

Hu Quan hurriedly stood up before bowing to Lin Yuan. “City Lord, please don’t say that! For years, you provided me with precious resources that I have never even seen before in my life and enabled my Spirit Craftsman class to rise continuously. This is enough for you to recruit all the Spirit Craftsmen in the world!

“You also allowed me to contract the Lifespan Mouse and obtain an endless lifespan. Now, I don’t have to worry about falling sick and old and eventually dying. I am able to endlessly challenge my Spirit Craftsman class. You have given me the life I always wanted! So please don’t be so polite or courteous to me!”
Hu Quan also wanted to say that Lin Yuan’s ideas were the spark for many of his inspirations. But after thinking about it, Hu Quan decided not to say that.

If he said that, the other members of Sky City would think that he was trying to flatter Lin Yuan.

After all, Lin Yuan was not a Spirit Craftsman.

However, to Hu Quan, this was the truth!

Now that Hu Quan had said all that he wanted to say, he began describing his plan for the future.

As a workaholic, Hu Quan had carefully analyzed his future direction from the moment he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds. He knew that his decisions affected not only himself but also the disciples who followed him and devoted themselves to him over the years.

He now possessed all the Spirit Craftsman techniques in the main world. He had surpassed all other Spirit Craftsmen in the main world.

Nonetheless, Hu Quan felt that this was not enough if he wanted to remain by Lin Yuan’s side.

There were many beautiful structures in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Take the King Blood Jackals’ castle as an example. It had a rough beauty and looked as though it had not been carved or sculpted with care. But on the inside, one would immediately realize that this castle was filled with details.

Hu Quan honestly laid out his requests.

“City Lord, if it’s possible, I hope that you can assign a few experts to me who will accompany me to train. We will learn about the techniques of building the various species’ structures and buildings!

“I will do my best to pick and incorporate the best aspects while filtering out the useless ones. If you happen across any native Spirit Craftsmen in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, please bring them here so I can spar and learn from them!”

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard what Hu Quan said.

Hu Quan’s plan was exceptionally clear, and Lin Yuan did not need to worry about him.

It would be easy for him to assign a few experts to Hu Quan to accompany him in his travels! As for whether Lin Yuan would be able to find native Spirit Craftsmen from the Sky Beyond the Clouds with whom Hu Quan would be able to interact, he would try his best, as Hu Quan had specially mentioned it.

“Uncle Hu, the Spirit Craftsmen under you might not have reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom like you have, but all of them are indisputable birth horoscope experts. The increase in their spiritual power will allow them to contract more feys.”

Hu Quan hurriedly said, “City Lord, that is exactly what I have in mind. So far, we have only contracted native feys from the main world. Even if we pick up some of the architectural techniques from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, we won’t be able to execute them without the proper feys. If we can form contracts with feys from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the Spirit Craftsmen will definitely be able to renovate Sky City into a better version in the future!”

Lin Yuan said seriously, “Uncle Hu, I will look carefully for such feys while I am on my journeys. However, the most important part will be waiting for you to deepen your understanding of the Sky Beyond the Clouds so you can choose the feys yourself.”

Once Lin Yuan and Hu Quan were done speaking, the meeting of Sky City’s main members officially came to an end.

Technically, Sky City had another main member—Chu Ci.

It was Chu Ci’s own decision not to participate in this meeting.

After speaking with Su Yiren, Luo Lan, and the rest, Chu Ci realized just how lacking her abilities were. She had only managed to reach the same level as the rest of them because Lin Yuan had nurtured her. But when it came to intelligence and strategizing, she was a far cry from the rest!

This was related to her talent as well as the education she had received.

In their youth, Chu Ci and Lin Yuan faced the challenge of survival. Chu Ci had dedicated herself to her school lessons, driven by a dual purpose: to bring happiness to Lin Yuan through her academic success and to secure scholarships that could alleviate Lin Yuan’s financial struggles.

Chu Ci had held onto that mindset for 16 years.

But in the first 16 years of Luo Lan, Su Yiren, Gu Lang, and the rest’s lives, they had received only the best education. They had been taught not just the knowledge that regular spirit qi professionals needed to know but also knowledge pertaining to management and business.

This gave them an enormous advantage that Chu Ci did not have. In the past 20-odd years, Chu Ci had concentrated on improving her combat skills and battle strategies. If she had to fight Zong Ze or Gu Lang, she would stand a good chance of winning.

But in terms of managing trade and governance abilities, she could not hold a candle to Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Su Yiren, and Luo Lan!

Chu Ci intended to spend some time learning these skills from Cold Moon and Mystic Moon.

If she took on tasks on Sky City’s behalf without gaining any skills, she would make blunders or embarrass Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was surprised by Chu Ci’s attitude.

He felt that Chu Ci was always anxious to prove herself. Yet, when the opportunity arose, she lacked confidence and decided to work on her failings instead.

In the future, she would be able to gain a fresh perspective on management and participate in meetings with Sky City’s other main members.

When the meeting ended, Lin Yuan returned to his room on Sky Sea’s back and began nurturing the King Blood Jackal bloodline he had absorbed into his body! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

While he evolved the bloodline, he attempted to merge it with his body.

In an instant, his eyes turned golden-red, and a ravaging bloodlust erupted from his body.

Lin Yuan’s facial features started changing, and his muscles expanded.

When Blood Love, who was in Lin Yuan’s hair, saw what was happening to him, her heart began pounding like a drum.

At that moment, he could not be more attractive to her.

This erupting wildness was on a completely different level from the oppressed male King Blood Jackals.

Kani’s aura was similar to Lin Yuan’s current one.

However, from the moment Blood Love became acquainted with Kani, the latter was a prisoner.

Kani was fully under Spring and Summer’s thumb. She did not have the formidability of the queen of the King Blood Jackals at all.

Lin Yuan did not notice the change in his appearance.

His golden hair fell past his ears and tickled his ears.

The King Blood Jackal bloodline caused Lin Yuan’s hair to become much stronger than before.

Lin Yuan now felt that his body was full of explosive energy and sensed that he was now even able to control metals.
