Chapter 155: Chapter 154: President, Let’s Talk About Weapons (Please Subscribe)
"Is there more?"
Chen Fan quickly asked, "What else?"
"You also have the right to purchase resources at discounted prices."
Lin Hui explained, "For example, a Low-grade Qi Blood Pill on the market costs around a thousand yuan. In our association, you can buy it for only nine hundred yuan. Weren’t you looking to buy a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill before?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan nodded.
"In Anshan City, if you don’t have any connections, you can’t buy Top-grade Qi Blood Pills at all. But in the association, as long as you have enough contribution points, you can buy them freely.
And the price is still a ten percent discount off the market price. If you have enough contribution points, you might even be able to buy them at twenty percent off. It’s the same for True Qi Pills."
"So, originally a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill would cost 20,000 yuan, but I can buy it for 18,000 yuan?"
"That’s right, but you can only use contribution points for the purchase, with one yuan equaling one contribution point."
said Lin Hui.
"Then can contribution points be used to buy other resources, like cultivation techniques or weapons?"
"Yes."
Lin Hui gave a thumbs up,
"In our association, there are dozens of Martial Arts Techniques suitable for Entry Force Martial Artists, and for those in the Meridian Refining Realm, there are a dozen or more. Even in the True Essence Realm, I’ve heard there are quite a few. The same goes for weapons,
as long as you have enough contribution points."
He said weakly.
Based on his several years of experience in the association, this is the hardest part.
Chen Fan nodded silently.
Dozens of Martial Arts Techniques just for Entry Force Martial Artists?
And there are also ones for the Meridian Refining Realm?
This is simply excellent.
Although it would require contribution points, and likely quite a lot, it might not be as cost-effective as what the old man provided.
But what if one day the old man can’t provide cultivation techniques anymore?
Also, obtaining weapons is no easy task.
"So, do you have any space items?"
Chen Fan suddenly asked.
"Well..."
Lin Hui’s face immediately showed a bitter smile.
"Those are items that only Space Ability Awakeners can create; our association indeed doesn’t have them."
In fact, not just space items, but many Awakeners carry Teleportation Talismans, which can instantly teleport them a certain distance, great for both escaping and fighting for their lives.
However, just the thought of it makes it clear that such good things are hard for even their internal members to get, let alone for sale.
Lin Hui coughed once and said:
"If you could join the Awakened Association, that would naturally be the best. But apart from Awakeners, they don’t accept anyone else.
Although those Awakeners are powerful, ultimately, they are just in a small place like Anshan City and cannot compare to our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association. Besides, even if you join them, with so many martial artists already there, you might not get any resources.
Most importantly, we martial artists are different from Awakeners."
Chen Fan couldn’t help but smile.
He could feel from the conditions offered.
The Martial Arts Association really lacks people.
While joining Anshan City and becoming subordinate to Awakeners might not be that bad, it would likely be better than joining the Martial Arts Association.
If not, there wouldn’t be a steady stream of Entry Force Martial Artists throwing their lot in with them.
But he would never choose that path.
It seems that joining the Martial Arts Association is also a good choice now.
After a moment, he nodded and said:
"Alright, I am willing to join your association."
Lin Hui was overjoyed, for he could tell that Chen Fan was not an ordinary Entry Force Martial Artist.
Just like himself, a Mingjin Martial Artist, who even if he went to the wilderness, wouldn’t be able to kill so many Mid-level Fierce Beasts even with a gun, let alone a bow and arrow.
With his addition, the martial artists at the Anshan City Branch could significantly improve their strength.
"My friend, since you agree to join our Martial Arts Association, I would like to take you to meet the chairman of our branch. You will need to demonstrate your strength to get his approval to officially join. However, with your strength, it should be easy to pass the assessment, so don’t worry about that."
He smiled.
Chen Fan nodded, "After passing the assessment, will I be able to enjoy the benefits?"
"Yes, but with the rights come corresponding obligations."
Lin Hui glanced at Chen Fan, "According to the regulations, after joining, a martial artist must complete a mission once a month. The task content is optional, mostly involving collecting Fierce Beast materials. There are also some special tasks, and you will be rewarded with contribution points after completing them."
"That’s good."
A few minutes later, Chen Fan followed Lin Hui to the gates of Anshan City.
Up close, Chen Fan noticed that the city walls bore many terrifying claw marks, extending from the bottom to the top.
"Uncle Zhang mentioned that Anshan City has experienced several Beast Tides. These marks must have been left by Fierce Beasts attacking the city."
"Take this."
Just then, Lin Hui handed over a card, which had "Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, Anshan Branch" written on it.
"With this, you can freely enter and exit Anshan City without paying an entrance fee, and you can stay overnight inside without fear of being expelled."
Lin Hui explained.
Chen Fan nodded.
Sure enough, after showing the card a while later, they were granted entry.
Inside the city, the roads were bustling with vehicles, shops lined the roadsides, and high-rise buildings were everywhere.
Looking up, Chen Fan could see a few villas at the highest points, likely where the few C-level Awakeners lived.
Lin Hui pulled Chen Fan and shook his head.
The two walked up along the street, arriving at a building halfway up the mountain.
It was a three-story building, covering two to three hundred square meters, with an open door and many people inside.
"Here we are."
Lin Hui smiled and said, "Later, I’ll take you to meet our chairman. There are also many other members here, and you can get to know them after passing the assessment. You might even go on missions together in the future."
"Okay."
Chen Fan replied nonchalantly.
They walked inside, and immediately, a well-dressed woman came over, looking surprised to see Lin Hui.
"Where’s the chairman?"
Lin Hui asked.
"The chairman is working in the office on the second floor," the woman replied quickly.
"Alright, you go on with your work."
Lin Hui nodded at the woman, then led Chen Fan to an elevator, smiling, "Fortunately, Chairman Sun is in; otherwise, our trip would have been in vain."
They went up to the second floor and stopped in front of an office door. Lin Hui knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A robust voice sounded from inside.
Lin Hui motioned for Chen Fan to follow him.
In the office chair sat a man about forty years old, with a square face and a stern appearance. He looked up and smiled when he saw Lin Hui, saying:
"Old Lin, what brings you here? And who is this?"
His eyes narrowed as he focused on the masked Chen Fan.
"Chairman, I’m here to introduce a talent to you."
Lin Hui smiled and gestured towards Chen Fan, "It’s this friend. He’s impressive, having shot over ten Mid-level Fierce Beasts with arrows and dragged over 10,000 jin of prey for dozens of miles single-handedly."
"What?"
Sun Wei’s eyes flashed with shock.
Being able to continuously kill more than ten Mid-level Fierce Beasts with a bow and arrow, he’s at least a Dark Power Martial Artist, right?
"May I know your name? And if possible, could you remove your mask?"
"Sure."
A different voice from before sounded.
Lin Hui beside him was startled, this voice?
He soon opened his mouth wide in shock.
Because in front of him was not a calm, thirty-year-old man, but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man!
Sun Wei’s face also showed surprise.
He looked at Chen Fan’s face and then the stunned Lin Hui beside him, thinking, this young man is an Entry Force Martial Artist?
Is this a joke?
Is there such a young Entry Force Martial Artist?
"Brother Chen, you?"
After a while, Lin Hui stammered out a sentence.
"Sorry, I wore the mask to avoid unnecessary trouble because of my young appearance," Chen Fan said with an apologetic smile.
"No problem, no problem."
Lin Hui nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, considering the number of prey Chen Fan had dragged along, he must have faced many covetous gazes. Although he wasn’t afraid given his strength, it was better to avoid trouble when possible.
"Chairman Sun, what kind of assessment is required to join the association?" Chen Fan turned to Sun Wei.
"The assessment is simple; you just need to show me your strength."
Sun Wei asked:
"What is your current realm?"
"Dark Power."
Chen Fan thought about it and replied.
Though his physical attributes far exceeded an average Dark Power Martial Artist, his energy control was indeed just at the Dark Power level.
"Dark Power!"
Lin Hui swallowed, thinking, as expected.
However, Chen Fan’s young age was far beyond his expectation. Being a Dark Power Martial Artist at this age, in three or five years, wouldn’t the Anshan City Branch gain a Meridian Refining powerhouse?
After all, Chairman Sun was only a Transforming Force Martial Artist.
Hearing this, Sun Wei’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness as he reminded, "Brother Chen, make sure you think carefully before answering. If you don’t have Dark Power, it will be very easy to get exposed when sparring with me."
Chen Fan smiled at him softly, then took a step forward and struck with a palm.
The palm moved slowly and appeared to be weak.
Sun Wei met it with his right palm and, as the palms collided, he felt a force invading his body from the opposite hand.
He widened his eyes, staring at the young man before him as if looking at a rare treasure, "Genuinely a Dark Power Martial Artist!"
Chen Fan withdrew his palm and smiled, "Chairman Sun, does this mean I’ve passed the association’s assessment?"
"Absolutely! You’ve definitely passed!"
Sun Wei’s tone was full of excitement.
Wow, such a young Dark Power Martial Artist!
Genius!
An absolute genius!
The branch has truly stumbled upon a treasure!
"So, Chairman, can we now discuss the matter of weapons?" Chen Fan smiled innocently.
