Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 795 - 382: Grand Offering, Vesinu_2

With Lord Cain aiming to expand his territory once more, he would need more agents.

Since they could not oust the temporary agents, why not perform well before Lord Cain expands his territory, leaving an impression of unyielding devotion in his mind?

After he expands his territory, the person appointed as an agent will be one of those present here, rather than a stranger from a newly acquired territory.

As the saying goes, with a new emperor comes a new court!

As for whether parachuted agents will stir discontent locally, well, such issues simply do not exist in the New World...

[Arsonist: In two days, I will gather you all once more for the formal Ceremony of Dedication.]

[The ranking list of the Ceremony of Dedication will be personally handed over to Lord Cain by me.]

[That’s all to say for now. Please prepare well.]

The ’Armed Guard’ and the ’Arsonist’ left the meeting hall, while opening up permission for free speech.

[Inheritor: The Arsonist is really a good guy!]

[Wall-Breaker: Isn’t he? Leaving such a great opportunity to his own people... Extremely gracious!]

[Heavy Gunner: I didn’t expect Lord Cain, besides controlling Jiangnan Province, to also expand his territory. He is really amazing.]

[Weaver: If you miss this opportunity, there probably won’t be another chance to become an agent in this lifetime...]

[Clown: You think my subordinates lack spirit? Impossible, this time I will surely drain them dry!]

[Sailor: Heh, do you honestly think your few subordinates can produce much spirit? Incidentally, I just came across a piece of top-quality equipment a few days ago; I was planning to keep it, but now it seems better to sell it for spirit.]

[Singer: I advise you not to compete with me. I am determined to take the top spot this time...]

[...]

The Martial Artist didn’t stay in the meeting hall any longer, instead, he exited the Disciple’s Sanctuary at top speed.

He returned to the Library, disassembled most of his equipment, took out a variety of props and materials that he had diligently collected recently, and put them all on the Book of Trade in one fell swoop.

After these operations, he began to contact his subordinates...

"The position of agent is mine!"

"This time, I hold all the cards!"

...

Two days later, by the Qinhuai River in Jinling, at the manor villa.

"Lord Cain, I have hosted the Ceremony of Dedication as you instructed. Everyone is eager and willing to offer up their spirit, even if it means draining their wealth... This is the ranking list from the Ceremony."

Standing by his side, ’Arsonist’ Cao Chi handed over the list with both hands.

Seeing the additional eight million plus spirit, Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh, "No matter how hard we squeeze, there seems to be no end to their spirit. These chives keep sprouting up again and again..."

The over eight million spirit acquired this time was excluding the pastorzones’ income. He had a third of the territories, and proxy agents appointed by Vesinu were in charge of pasturing them.

This was the New World’s long-standing tradition of exploitation. Unless Lin Xun could knock off the person at the top of the New World, he would never escape this exploitation. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The agents of the proxy pasturing areas held the Ceremony of Dedication at the same time as him. To Lin Xun’s knowledge, these people were considering sustainable development and only collected a mere two million spirit.

If managed by him, that number would undoubtedly be doubled at least.

If he collected the offerings in the proxy pasturing areas, the total revenue could have reached twelve or thirteen million.

And this was profit made from hosting the Ceremony of Dedication ahead of time. If he held it on a quarterly basis as planned, even without pulling any nasty tricks, the output of dedicatory spirit could reach twenty to thirty million.

Unfortunately, the collective spirit from those areas did not go into his pockets.

While handing over the list, Cao Chi leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Lord, do we really not need escorts to accompany you in the battle?"

"Considering how dangerous the Disciple Wars are, the more people we have, the more support... This is not an organizational order, I’m volunteering."

With no significant progress after infiltrating the New World for many years, Cao Chi was now the vice captain of the disciples and eager to make a contribution.

Lin Xun shook his head, "Doing your duty as a vice-captain is the best way you can help me... As for the Disciple Wars, I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself just yet."

He didn’t take the dedication list and didn’t even glance at it.

"There’s no need to give this list to me, keep it safe." Lin Xun continued, "After I win in the Disciple Wars and expand the pasturing area, publish these figures to the lambs in the new pasturing area."

"Once they see the devotion shown by the lambs in the other territories, for the sake of not giving up their position as agents, they will undoubtedly show their devotion."

"Only with pressure can lambs find motivation..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Chi couldn’t help but take a closer look at ’Lord Cain’. He felt that this ’Councilor Lin’ seemed not to be an undercover agent at all.

He seemed less like a member of the New World organization and more like a devil who eats men without spitting out the bones.

Cao Chi couldn’t help but murmur to himself: No wonder my undercover work hasn’t advanced in all these years, it seems I’m not ruthless or cunning enough.

Probably only someone like Councilor Lin could navigate the New World with such ease, carving a bloody path through the ruthless hierarchy.

After ’Arsonist’ Cao Chi left the mansion, Lin Xun took out his phone.

With the spirit energy he had just harvested, creating a Legend+ level artifact was within his means.

But if he wanted to upgrade his exclusive artifact to the Mythical Level, he was still short by over a million spirit energy.

His eyes narrowed as he quickly thought of a solution.

Using Cain’s holy alias, Lin Xun sent a message to Vesinu through the Book of Letters.

{Cain: Lord Vesinu, the war of disciples is imminent. I am preparing for the war in full stride to serve you in the impending battle. }

Not long after the message was sent, Vesinu replied.

{Vesinu: Good, strengthen yourself, I look forward to your performance in the war of disciples. }

Vesinu is the third disciple, belonging to the upper disciples, one of the top-ranked leaders in the New World.

Under his command, besides Lin Xun and disciple eleven, Amos, there is also Jeremiah, the eighth middle disciple.

Vesinu’s faction has the most disciples, but their overall strength isn’t impressive, as Lin Xun and Amos, being the juniors, have not participated in the war of disciples, making them the weakest links...

In the war of disciples, each disciple can bring their trained followers into battle, Vesinu’s faction can likely rally a multitude of elites.

Among them, only Lin Xun is the special exception without followers.

However, according to Amos, each disciple has a limit to the number of followers they can bring, and him not having any followers is actually beneficial for Vesinu.

This way, Vesinu can use his follower space to arrange for more capable generals to participate in the war of disciples.

{Cain: Lord Vesinu, as a new disciple, I know that I’m far behind those experts who have experienced several disciple wars and might not even match up to your most capable followers. }

{I hope to serve you well by slaying your enemies without dragging your feet. }

{To strengthen my strength on the eve of the war, I recently conducted another Ceremony of Dedication... }

{Vesinu: I know about it, the agent has already handed me the spirit energy from the dedication. }

{It’s a special situation now as the war of disciples is about to begin, your frequent ceremonies are unavoidably necessary to strengthen your power. }

{But in the future, it’s better to do things according to the rules, look further ahead. }

{Cain: Thank you for your guidance, but even with frequent ceremonies, the collected spirit energy is still insufficient... }

Lin Xun’s message was sent a long time ago, only then did Vesinu provide a reply.

{Vesinu: How much are you short of? }

{Cain: My Lord, it’s a bit hard to say... }

{Vesinu: If it’s hard to say, then don’t say it. }

{Cain: I dare not hide it from you, my Lord, I’m still five million spirit energy short. }

{Vesinu: ... }

This time, Vesinu seemed to have dropped the line, taking a while to reply.

It wasn’t until some time that he responded again.

{Vesinu: Just this once, not to be repeated! }

{You’ve received 5,000,000 spirit energy given by ’Vesinu’! }

Lin Xun broke into a wide grin and continued to type.

{Cain: Thank you for your generous support, Lord Vesinu. I will definitely perform well in the war of disciples and not let down your trust! }

{Vesinu: Strengthen yourself well. I don’t want to see you die in the war of disciples, and the Lord above doesn’t want to see it either. }

Lin Xun paused, thanking Vesinu again before sinking into deep thought.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, "No matter who you are, I’ll kill you...and annihilate the entire New World!"
