Bringing the farm to another world

Everyone nodded. In their eyes, Wen Wenhai was at most a head steward, while Zhao Hai was the one in charge. They dared to go to the head steward to ask for some benefits, but they didn't have the guts to go to the head of the family and ask for benefits. Not to mention these newcomers, even old people like Liu E didn't dare. In fact, people like Liu E were even less likely to go to Zhao Hai to ask for benefits. They were terrified of Zhao Hai.

Wan Hai looked at Liu E and said, "Elder Liu, you've been in the sect for a long time, and your opinion is very important to us. So please tell us what we should do?"

Everyone nodded. Liu E glanced at them and breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried that these people wouldn't listen to him. If they didn't, it would be a real problem. So while he was speaking, he kept watching their reactions. He wanted to see how they would react. Fortunately, they made the right choice.

Liu E looked at everyone and then said, "First of all, I want to know what kind of benefits you want. Tell me, everyone."

Wan Hai glanced at everyone and then said, "We don't actually ask for much. We just want the sect to give us some preferential treatment. We are all new members of the sect, and we want the sect to give us some preferential treatment so that our cultivation speed will be faster and we can catch up with the older members of the sect."

The others all nodded in agreement. That was indeed what they thought, and they really didn't dare to ask for too much. They were well aware that if they asked for too much, the Blood Slaughter Sect would definitely not agree and might even punish them. So they didn't dare to go too far.

After hearing Wan Hai's words, Liu E breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Alright, now I understand. To be honest, your request is really good. If it were too excessive, the sect would never agree, and they would definitely deal with you. Let me explain my request, which is actually quite simple. I request that after we complete a sect task, the sect should award us one more contribution point than ordinary people. For example, an ordinary disciple can get ten contribution points for completing a sect task, while we can get eleven. Although it seems like only one more, what if we could get one hundred contribution points for completing a task? Or one thousand, or even ten thousand contribution points? That number is huge. So, one-tenth of the contribution points may not sound like much, but it will be a huge help to us."

When Wan Hai and the others heard Liu E say this, they were all taken aback. Then they all nodded. Liu E's request was really reasonable. He didn't ask for any benefits, but only asked to increase the amount of their contribution points as a reward. This was indeed a good idea.

Then Liu E spoke up again: "That's one requirement. The second requirement is that when we exchange anything from the Real Illusion, we should use 10% fewer contribution points than ordinary disciples of the sect. This requirement doesn't sound unreasonable, but when combined with the first requirement, it means we will have 20% more benefits than others. That's the biggest advantage."

Wan Hai and the others all had their eyes shining. Liu E said, "The most important thing is that this request is not excessive. Elder Wen can decide. Because contribution points don't really matter if you have a little more or a little less, and the same goes for resources. The sect has endless resources, so a little more or a little less really doesn't make a difference. And if such benefits fall on us, we can cultivate faster. That's our confidence. If one day, all of us become kingdom-level experts, then we can unite and ask the sect for even greater benefits. Do you think the sect will give them to us? They definitely will."

Upon hearing Liu E's words, Wan Hai and the others' eyes lit up even more. Wan Hai turned to look at the others and then asked, "What do you all think?" Everyone nodded vigorously, and one of the family heads even said, "Good, excellent! This is a good idea, I agree." The others also expressed their agreement.

After everyone had expressed their agreement, Wan Hai turned to Liu E and said, "We agree to both of Elder Liu's requests."

Liu E nodded and said, "That's good. This time we'll only ask for this much benefit. In the future, when our family's disciples become stronger, we'll ask for even more benefits."

Everyone nodded, and Liu E continued, "Since we want to talk to Elder Wen as soon as possible, I think we should do it even faster. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we can all join together and write to Elder Wen, saying that we have some requests and want to raise them with him in person. Let's see how Elder Wen reacts. I think he will definitely agree."

Wan Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go see Elder Wen together. With so many of us making this request, Elder Wen will definitely agree." The others all nodded as well. They were very clear that there was no turning back now; they had to go see Wen Wenhai in person. If they backed down now, the others present would not let them off the hook.

Everyone nodded. Liu E looked at them and said, "Alright, it's settled then. We'll take action the day after tomorrow. Everyone be careful these next two days and try to keep a low profile. The fewer people who know about this, the better. That way, the sect won't refuse our demands just to save face. If we spread the word everywhere and let everyone in the sect know that we're going to negotiate with them, then everyone will be watching the sect closely. At that point, the sect will definitely refuse our demands for the sake of face. So now we need to be even more discreet and absolutely cannot let more people know about this."

Everyone responded, their expressions turning serious. They hadn't considered this point, and thankfully Liu E had reminded them, otherwise they would have made a grave mistake.

Liu E glanced at everyone and then said, "If no one objects, then it's settled. Let's go back and prepare." Everyone nodded. They all decided to go back and prepare. Then they bowed to each other and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Wen Wenhai was sitting in his study, looking at the projector in front of him. The projector showed the bamboo forest where Liu E and the others had held their meeting. He had heard and seen everything that Liu E and the others had said.

Gongliang Juewen looked at the empty bamboo forest, then turned to Wen Wenhai and said, "Master, their demands don't seem too unreasonable. I thought they would ask for something much better, but this is all?"

Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "It's not excessive, because they dare not ask for more. Didn't you hear what Liu E said? Once they have enough strength, they can ask for even greater benefits. But you must understand, this matter is not about how much benefit they ask for, but about not setting a precedent. If they ask for benefits and we give them, what if others find out and also come to ask us for benefits, and we give them those too? What would that make us? What would that make our sect? So this precedent must absolutely not be set."

Gongliang Juewen nodded after hearing Wen Wenhai's words, then turned to look at Wen Wenhai and asked, "Master, what should we do with them?"

Before Wen Wenhai could speak, a voice rang out: "Execute them all, leave no one alive." The voice appeared so suddenly that it startled Gongliang Juewen.

Wen Wenhai was already used to it, and he immediately stood up and said, "Young Master." Gongliang Juewen also turned his head and saw Zhao Hai standing in front of the room. He also quickly bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master."

Zhao Hai nodded, then walked to the rest area and took out a tea set. Wen Wenhai immediately went over, and Gongliang Juewen followed. Wen Wenhai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in front of Zhao Hai. Gongliang Juewen was about to stand behind Wen Wenhai when Wen Wenhai pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that he should sit down. Gongliang Juewen sat down somewhat nervously.

This wasn't the first time Gongliang Juewen had met Zhao Hai. He had seen Zhao Hai before when Zhao Hai was hiding his identity, and he had seen Zhao Hai many times afterward. But this time, Zhao Hai was different; Gongliang Juewen was somewhat afraid in front of Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai brewed the tea and handed a cup to each of them. He then poured himself a cup, gently sniffed the aroma, and drank it down in three sips.

Wen Wenhai also picked up his tea, sniffed it, and then drank it down in three sips. Gongliang Juewen naturally followed suit.

Zhao Hai then put down his teacup, looked at Gongliang Juewen, and said with a smile, "How are you? Are you settling in well with the sect?"

Gongliang Juewen immediately replied, "It's a habit, very a habit. Thank you for your concern, young master."

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "No need to be so tense. Just relax in front of me. Isn't it strange that I would ask you to execute those people directly? Their demands were not very high. Even if we didn't agree to them, we could have just punished them. There was no need to kill them. There were quite a few people this time. It's a bit hard to kill so many people at once, isn't it?"

Gongliang Juewen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, young master, I do feel a little reluctant."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "You don't understand what the sect is facing right now, which is why you think that way. We're about to ascend to the Upper Realm. Once we reach the Upper Realm, we'll be facing enemies like the God of Creation. Those enemies have plenty of ways to turn weak-willed people into their ranks. People like Wan Hai have too many schemes. Having many schemes isn't necessarily a bad thing, but they shouldn't have set their sights on me. I won't let them get away with it because they're too scheming. They'll be manipulated in the Upper Realm. Don't be fooled by their status as the undead; once they're in the Upper Realm, there's no way to guarantee their loyalty." (End of Chapter)
