I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 290 Are you done yet? I haven't even started yet! (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket)
Today is the last item of the Heavenly Immortal Ranking, a competition of financial strength.

Each contestant will draw a list of what he or she needs.

Li Chen helped Liu Tang to get on the list yesterday, and now he is helping Le Li.

Le Li had good luck and drew some relatively simple lists.

The list read: Ten Green Scale Python Inner Elixirs, fifty bottles of Iron Back Wolf Blood, one hundred Red Flame Tiger Bones, and eight hundred-year-old spirit foxes.

Although these items are numerous, they are not difficult to obtain, especially for a strong man like Li Chen, it is a piece of cake.

Le Li handed the list to Li Chen somewhat embarrassedly, with a blush on her face: "Mr. Cheng, I am sorry to trouble you again this time. I really don't know how to thank you."

She is not as carefree as Liu Tang and is quite delicate inside.

Especially when they were close to Li Chen, they behaved timidly.

Li Chen took the list, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, it's just a small favor."

This sentence sounds polite, but for Li Chen, it is indeed a piece of cake.

After hearing this, Le Li was deeply moved.

She knew Li Chen's identity, and also knew that he was helping her this time just for Mu Qingrou's sake.

But even so, Li Chen's gentle attitude still made her feel extremely warm.

If Li Chen could see the favorability, he would find that the number "Favorability +1" above Le Li's head was increasing crazily.

As for the repayment that Li Chen mentioned, she was already prepared. As long as Li Chen asked, she would not refuse!
At this time, Gao Qiu, who was defeated by Li Chen yesterday, walked over.

He bowed with a look of respect on his face, but there was a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes.

He smiled and said to Li Chen: "Brother Cheng, please give me more advice today."

This sentence sounded polite, but Gao Qiu's tone contained a hint of challenge.

He was defeated miserably yesterday. Today's competition is a test of financial resources. The key is who can quickly find the props needed on the list.

Gao Qiu didn't dare to say anything else, but he grew up in this area and knew the terrain and distribution of monsters here like the back of his hand.

And Li Chen didn't look like someone from this area, how could he be as fast as him? He must beat Li Chen here!

Li Chen smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Okay, okay."

At the same time, many unfamiliar young male monks also came over and greeted Li Chen.

They had smiles on their faces and spoke in kind tones, as if they were old friends of Li Chen.

Even the organizers were surprised. In the past, at this stage, wouldn't the monks always provoke each other and be full of gunpowder? Why did they look so gentle today?
However, when they saw Li Chen, they immediately understood the reason.

When a person is truly outstanding, others will not dare to challenge him/her easily.

Li Chen’s performance yesterday convinced everyone. Who would dare to be rude in front of him?
As soon as the referee announced the start, the group of monks, led by Gao Qiu, ran out immediately, fearing that they would be late.

They mobilized their friends and fellow apprentices to help them complete the task quickly.

This time, what is being compared is not only personal strength, but also connections.

As long as it is within the rules, any means can be used.

If you have money, you can also buy it at an auction house, but the organizers have already taken this into consideration and specifically list items that the auction house does not have or that are in small quantities.

As the eldest senior brother of the sect, Gao Qiu invited about a hundred disciples to help him today.

Each of these disciples seemed to be energized and full of energy.

God knows what Gao Qiu promised them yesterday that made them work so hard.

In the world of cultivation, many practitioners, even fellow practitioners, are too lazy to take action if there is no benefit.

It can be seen that Gao Qiu spent a lot of money to win.

A large number of young practitioners marched out of Qizhou City and headed towards the area where the monsters appeared. They were divided into several teams, each responsible for different tasks.

Gao Qiu was interspersed among them, directing everyone's actions, looking as if he was sure of victory.

Li Chen not only had no help, but was also resting in a teahouse near the city wall.

He sat leisurely by the window, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window with a calm look.

Le Li stood aside, feeling confused.

She couldn't help but ask, "Master Cheng, aren't we going to hunt monsters outside the city? Time waits for no one."

Li Chen smiled slightly, his tone relaxed: "No hurry, let them go first."

After hearing this, Le Li was confused but did not ask any more questions.

She stood aside obediently, serving tea and water to Li Chen.

This time, she really looked like Li Chen's maid, well-behaved and considerate.

The reason why Li Chen didn't go out was because he knew that a tide of beasts was about to appear.

These practitioners go out on a large scale to kill monsters. The strong ones among the monsters will inevitably gather their men and retaliate against the human practitioners, which is called monster siege.

Li Chen only needed to take action at that time. He was too lazy to run so far and fight with these young guys.

He took a sip of tea and looked into the distance with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Le Li looked at Li Chen's profile and couldn't help feeling a little obsessed.

After a few hours, a deafening roar of beasts suddenly came from outside the city.

Then, the ground began to shake slightly, and a huge army was approaching.

Le Li's face changed and she exclaimed, "Master Cheng, is this a beast tide? Are you waiting for a beast tide?"

Li Chen nodded, his tone still calm: "Yes, he is the one I am waiting for."

"But sir, how can you judge correctly? They went out to kill monsters in large numbers. The monsters that gathered recently have reproduced more, which can easily lead to a beast tide."

Le Li analyzed it herself and immediately understood Li Chen's intention. She couldn't help but admire him even more.

After resting for a while, Li Chen stood up and gave Le Li a look, and Le Li understood what he meant.

The two walked out of the teahouse and headed towards the city gate.

At this time, the city of Qizhou was in chaos.

The practitioners outside the city fled back into the city, their faces full of fear.

They never expected that the beast tide would come so suddenly.

Gao Qiu also fled back with his disciples in a panic. His clothes were torn and had many scratches on them. No one even knew where his weapons were.

When he saw Li Chen and Le Li who had just walked over, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He originally wanted to win back a game against Li Chen today, but unexpectedly he was chased back by the tide of beasts.

And judging from the looks of Li Chen and Le Li, they never left the city at all.

It’s already painful to be unlucky, but it’s even more painful to see your competitors making no losses.

Gao Qiu forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Brother Cheng, it looks like today's competition will have to be put on hold for the time being."

Li Chen raised his mouth slightly and said, "No, this is just the beginning."

As he spoke, he walked towards the city gate.
