Chapter 1789: Chapter 938: Now It’s Our Turn
"What are you collecting these species from Taboo Land 001 for?" The Big Trickster raised his doubts.
Qing Chen replied, "We’re looking for a way to create the A-Class Genetic Potion."
"All this fuss just for the A-Class Genetic Potion?" The Big Trickster couldn’t understand. "You should already be one of the few in power within the Federation, right? Listen to me, power, money, fame, desire, aren’t that important in a person’s life. Don’t go to any lengths for all that."
The Big Trickster genuinely cared for Qing Chen. He didn’t know what was happening, just felt that Qing Chen was like everyone else who had come to Taboo Land 001, taking things away only to exchange them for worldly desires outside.
Qing Chen smiled and shook his head, "I don’t care about those things."
"Huh?" The Big Trickster was puzzled, "What you say and what you do seem contradictory."
Seeing that the species had been collected, Qing Chen got up to say goodbye, "Gentlemen, I do have respect for you, but I’m forced to take this liberty. I don’t have time to slowly build relationships with you and let you gradually understand me. In those days, you did what you had to do for the sake of humanity’s survival. Now it’s our turn, and we’re doing what we need to do."
Qing Chen: "Let’s part ways today. Until we meet again."
After speaking, he led the giants into the Key of Gate and returned to City 10.
The Big Trickster stood stunned, "It’s your turn now...?"
He seemed to vaguely understand the Federation’s current predicament.
This young man risked everything to clear the amusement park, took the rewards and species, all for a war named Guarding.
In those days, it was for such things that they shed blood and sacrificed on the battlefield.
Behind them, the Big Trickster and Zhang Xiaoman remained sitting by the campfire. Someone suddenly said, "I actually quite like him. I don’t know why, but meeting him feels like meeting the Young Marshal in the past. It’s just a gut feeling."
"Could he be Ren Xiaosu reincarnated...?"
"That’s a laugh, Ren Xiaosu isn’t even dead yet..."
"But we can’t casually hand over the life-and-death power of our twenty-some thousand people to someone else. You can’t judge a book by its cover. We have to figure it out."
The Big Trickster pondered for a moment, then shouted back, "Go, go find the person in charge of the amusement park for me. I want to know what happened in there. Zhang Xiaoman, you go and grab a few herb pickers, tell them, as long as they tell us what we want to know, there’s plenty of herbs for them."
The Spiritual Beings moved quickly. Someone went to the border of Taboo Land 001 to find herb pickers.
Someone went into the Spirit Shrine and struck the bell inside the temple loudly.
A large number of Spiritual Beings scattered throughout Taboo Land 001, upon hearing the bell, hurried back.
Inside the temple, the Big Trickster listened to the Spiritual Being in charge of the amusement park say, "This kid is particularly weird. We were secretly watching him, and he actually paddled a kayak from start to finish..."
"And with a paddle, damn, he was fiercely beating people with it in the bumper car area."
"He’s just like Ren Xiaosu in that way..."
Everyone spoke one after another, recounting everything Qing Chen had done, including that demigod battle.
But even so, they still knew very little about Qing Chen.
It wasn’t until dawn that Zhang Xiaoman brought in a few blindfolded herb pickers.
The Big Trickster first asked, "I just want to ask a few things. Once we’re done, you can take all the herbs you want."
The herb pickers quickly nodded, "Ask away, ask away."
The Big Trickster asked, "Who is the demigod of Qing’s Family?"
"Qing Zhun," a herb picker answered, as few in the Federation knew that Qing Chen had already become a demigod.
The Big Trickster said, "His name is Qing Zhun... What is his status in Qing’s Family now?"
"Huh?" The herb picker was dumbfounded, "He has no status. Previously outside Taboo Land 002, he transformed into a god for a quarter of an hour, killed two demigods, and then died."
Back then, Chen Yu didn’t actually die, but the Federal people still insisted that Qing Zhun killed two demigods in that battle.
"Died?" The Big Trickster’s voice rose, "I just saw him a few hours ago!"
"Brother, don’t scare us like that," the herb picker was terrified, "Can you see dead people?"
"No, no," the Big Trickster shook his head, "They must not be the same person! Let me ask you, is there anyone in Qing’s Family who always goes around fighting with a bunch of giants?"
"Are you talking about Qing Chen? You should have said he goes around fighting with a bunch of giants, then we’d know. They’ve almost crushed Deer Island..."
"Is he Qing Zhun’s brother? Has he become a demigod too?!"
The Big Trickster and the others looked at each other, understanding Deer Island’s frustration as they often dragged civilians along to explore Taboo Land 001.
"Tell me, what has this Qing Chen done before?" the Big Trickster asked.
A herb picker laughed, "You’ve asked the right person. I’m his fan, and I’ve never missed any news about him these years!"
A group of golden Spiritual Beings sat in the temple, just like the giants listened to the Black Spider’s stories back then, seriously listening to the herb picker’s tales.
Except the herb picker spoke more detailed, from Prison 18 all the way to the current fight with the Roosevelt Kingdom... The Parents’ Meeting was very focused on public relations, so all the sensational events Qing Chen caused in the West Continent were announced widely to establish their legitimate resistance stance.
