I have a city in another world

Chapter 6793 Recruitment of the Super Chamber of Commerce

Tang Zhen was in a semi-imprisoned state, and was not allowed to get close to him unless permitted.

However, such rules do not apply to high-level powerhouses, who always have privileges.

Now that Tang Zhen has been cleared of suspicion and is no longer considered a dangerous target, it is not difficult to meet him.

Anyone who dares to stop it must first withstand the pressure from the Super Chamber of Commerce.

Most wizards, including the Creator, have to give the Super Merchant Guild some respect.

If you accidentally break off relations, you will face enormous pressure and be subjected to attacks and oppression from all sides.

When that time comes, it will be very difficult to find a place to stand within the vast star realm.

It may sound exaggerated, but it's really true.

Over the years, countless cultivators have offended the Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, they either fled to the ends of the earth, confessed their crimes and accepted punishment, or disappeared without a trace.

In the world of cultivators, wealth and power still wield immense influence, capable of making cultivators with extraordinary abilities willingly risk their lives.

After all, those in power also possess extraordinary power, and with the help of authority and money, their strength is often even greater.

The strong get stronger; this is a common phenomenon in the extraordinary world, and it is very difficult for those at the bottom to break through and change it.

When the ninth-ring wizard revealed his identity and requested to see Tang Zhen, the Alliance wizard in charge of guarding the scene hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the meeting.

This was a simple favor, so there was no reason to refuse. Although such behavior was not allowed according to the rules, rules are always made by the strong, so how could they possibly constrain the strong?

This ninth-ring wizard met Tang Zhen without any trouble, and the two agreed to meet in a living room.

As a seventh-ring wizard, Tang Zhen should maintain the demeanor of a subordinate when meeting a ninth-tier expert.

Knowing that Tang Zhen had an extraordinary background, this ninth-ring wizard from the Chamber of Commerce did not act arrogantly, but took the initiative to communicate with him on an equal footing.

Tang Zhen naturally wouldn't refuse such a request. He was unwilling to communicate with wizards in a subordinate manner, regardless of their status or realm; he simply didn't want to be bound by such etiquette.

Wizards often act in ways that defy ethical norms and are considered incomprehensible, thus earning them the reputation of being rational madmen.

However, this unconventional group is extremely persistent in adhering to certain rules of etiquette, regarding them as ancient traditions and as part of the style and philosophy of wizards.

When wizarding apprentices come into contact with the supernatural realm, the first lesson they learn is a variety of rules and etiquette.

Only by passing this hurdle can one have the opportunity to continue learning and gain the initial approval of the wizards.

Every profession in this world has its hidden barriers, and this is especially true for the extraordinary profession of wizardry.

This ninth-circle wizard from the Chamber of Commerce hoped to win Tang Zhen's favor with his approachable demeanor, laying the foundation for the upcoming negotiations.

Such small acts of kindness are often what move people at the bottom the most, causing them to imagine the image of those in power to be too perfect.

Little do they know that having such thoughts is tantamount to falling into a passive position, making them more easily manipulated and controlled by those in power.

Tang Zhen was fully aware of this tactic and knew he wouldn't fall for it easily.

Seeing that Tang Zhen's expression was indifferent and he was not moved by the humble attitude he had adopted, the Nine-Ring Wizard felt it was only natural.

Before arriving, he had learned that Tang Zhen's methods were extraordinary, having instantly killed a demon who was suspected to be at the ninth rank.

Although unwilling to admit it, the ninth-ring wizard knew in his heart that the abyss demons were often stronger in combat.

Wizards have an advantage in their broad knowledge and more comprehensive qualities. If it comes to a simple battle, they are no match for demons of the same level.

However, having strong overall strength also has its advantages, as it can compensate for a lack of combat power in other aspects.

Before the battle is over, no one can accurately predict the outcome. Putting aside other matters, Tang Zhen is the most obvious example.

Before this incident, who would have believed that a seventh-level cultivator could turn the tide and bring the spaceship back from the abyss?

Furthermore, in direct combat, he slew several high-ranking abyss demons and even made a deal with the abyss god. He traded the god's own head for a precious chance to escape the abyss.

Such a transaction is thrilling to even think about. Ordinary people have no idea how terrifying it is, but the stronger the cultivator, the more they know how difficult it is to accomplish.

With such a glorious record, how many people in the world can possess it?
Although Tang Zhen was only a seventh-level cultivator, he gained fame through this battle and was qualified to communicate with a ninth-ring wizard on an equal footing.

Not to mention that Tang Zhen has a powerful backer behind him, so he doesn't need to be humble and subservient when facing a nine-ring wizard.

Having a background and not having a background are two completely different situations, and the paths they take are fundamentally different.

Wizards are straightforward and direct in their actions, without much beating around the bush. It's not that they lack emotional intelligence, but rather that they disdain wasting time on such trivial matters.

If a wizard is worldly-wise and always likes to act like a worldly mortal, he will become an outcast and an unpopular figure in the community.

There are many such guys in the Wizarding Alliance. They prefer to put on a grand and hypocritical show, and their official status gives them more room to maneuver.

Just as different people are born with different tastes, individuals with independent thinking should naturally have their own preferences. The wizarding community isn't entirely made up of reclusive men; sometimes, extremes lead to opposites, and there are occasionally some incredibly capable professionals.

This ninth-circle wizard from the Chamber of Commerce is clearly of the traditional type and doesn't like anything complicated.

The Nine-Ring Wizard, representing the Chamber of Commerce, thanked Tang Zhen for bringing the spaceship back from the abyss, and then presented him with a list of sincere gifts.

Tang Zhen did not refuse; from any perspective, he was entitled to accept this gift.

If he brings back the spaceship but the Chamber of Commerce makes no statement, he will inevitably be condemned.

From now on, the Chamber of Commerce will likely be branded as stingy, and no one will be willing to work hard and risk their lives for it anymore.

Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce must deliver this reward to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen didn't need to refuse; he had helped the Chamber of Commerce reduce its losses, so he deserved this reward.

If one refuses to accept the gift, it is tantamount to breaking the rules. Instead of being praised by other wizards, one may be ridiculed and despised.

Tang Zhen understood this and did not postpone the gift, while also expressing his gratitude to the Chamber of Commerce.

When it comes to giving something in return, nothing is ever a given; it's more often a give-and-take situation.

After presenting the gift, the Nine-Ring Wizard extended an invitation, hoping that Tang Zhen could become a wizard in the Chamber of Commerce.

He wouldn't haggle; instead, he would reveal all his cards and let Tang Zhen decide whether to join.

The practices of a mercenary merchant are something a nine-ringed wizard could never learn, and would disdain to do either.

Tang Zhen's previous record and their conversation after meeting made him very satisfied with Tang Zhen.

Therefore, they prepared to use their authority to secure the best conditions for Tang Zhen, which can be seen as a mutual appreciation between wizards.

If Tang Zhen achieves something someday, this good deed will be rewarded.

In this way, they were also showing goodwill to the person behind Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen's willingness to accept the recruitment was naturally the best thing, as it meant that the mission had been completed perfectly.

It would also be reasonable to refuse recruitment. How could a promising star wizard be manipulated by others? He has an even more glorious path to follow.

Since meeting Tang Zhen, the Nine-Ring Wizard was certain of one thing: the plan to recruit Tang Zhen was likely to fail.

As he expected, Tang Zhen directly refused to be recruited, indicating that he had other plans.

The ninth-ring wizard expressed his understanding, saying that once a high-level cultivator has determined their future path, they must persevere in order to have the opportunity to go even higher.

As someone who had been through it all, he was very familiar with the matter and became increasingly certain that Tang Zhen had powerful backers.

Even cultivators who reach the ninth level of cultivation may not be able to clearly see their future path. Tang Zhen, however, is only at the seventh level of cultivation, yet he has already clearly seen his future path. This could not possibly be due to his own talent or ability.

Instead, he had a mentor paving the way, helping him pave a smooth road ahead.
