"Hello, is this Mr. Li Ping?" ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐๐.๐๐ ๐
As soon as the call connected, a pleasant female voice promptly sounded.
"Yes, itโs me. Who is this?"
Chen Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Iโm Li Xin, a staff member at the Awakened Association Headquarters in Flame Emperor City, work ID 3616," the woman smiled and said, "You previously spent one million points to purchase the learning rights for the Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, Observing the Universe Technique in the association mall, correct?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Alright."
The woman happily said, "Thunder Emperor is already aware of and has agreed to this matter. Please, three days from now in the afternoon, come to the Awakened Association Headquarters in Flame Emperor City and inform the staff at the front desk of your purpose. Someone will then take you to Thunder Emperor.
I wonder if you have understood my message clearly. If not, I can repeat it. Also, after hanging up, you will receive an email detailing the arrangements."
"The staff attitude at this headquarters is surprisingly good."
Chen Fan thought and then spoke, "I understood clearly, so it is on the fourth afternoon, correct?"
"Yes, at that time, someone will take you to Thunder Emperor." The womanโs voice sounded very envious.
"Good, but could this time be brought forward by one or two days?" Chen Fan asked, hoping to try his luck.
Right now, Anshan City is at the brink of life and death. If he could learn the Observing the Universe Technique a little earlier, he would absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for a much longer time, saving a lot of meditation time.
The more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi he absorbs, the faster his power will grow.
"Ah?"
The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be encountering this situation for the first time.
She had previously notified others of similar news. Without exception, everyone was too excited to speak clearly upon hearing the news, unlike the person before her, who tried bargaining.
"This, Mr. Li," she said reluctantly, "The time arrangement was set by Thunder Emperor. Iโm just passing along the notification from above, so being able to move it one or two days earlier is beyond my control."
"No problem, it was presumptuous of me."
Chen Fan sighed, knowing he was being unreasonable. He nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I will arrive at the Awakened Headquarters in Flame Emperor City in three days."
"Okay, Mr. Li, do you have any other questions?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"No."
"Alright, Mr. Li, I wish you a pleasant day. Goodbye." The woman hung up the phone and looked at the file in front of her, which contained Li Pingโs information.
The night quickly passed, and with the sunrise, Anshan City returned to its usual peace.
People walked on the streets, enthusiastically greeting each other.
Except for the occasional armed guards passing by, it looked much the same as before.
At roadside breakfast stalls, groups of people sat around tables eating steaming buns and drinking fragrant porridge, chatting and laughing.
"Honestly, it feels like a dream. I still wonder if Iโm dreaming." A middle-aged man said, dazed.
"Haha, who wouldnโt? The commotion yesterday afternoon, I thought it was the end of the world with the constant sound of gunfire. But within half a day, the Beast Tide was repelled, truly like a dream." His companion replied, taking a big bite of the bun, with juices splashing and a fragrant taste lingering.
"Thanks to Chairman Li, without him, Anshan City would probably have fallen already. How could we still be sitting here having breakfast?"
"Yes, this morning when I passed by the Awakened Association, I overheard some Awakened talking. They said a small city less than five hundred miles from here was already overrun by the Beast Tide. The people inside either died or fled, suffering heavy losses!"
"What? Is that true? That tragic?"
"Which small city?"
"Less than five hundred miles from here, wouldnโt it be Wang City or Shu City?"
Many nearby focused their attention, and some who knew the situation mentioned the city names.
