You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 74: Submissive to the outside world, but strong attack from within (5k)

In December of the 133rd year of the Transcendent Calendar, with the supply of vast Transcendent resources, the assistance of various cutting-edge instruments, and the enhanced effects of the cultivation techniques, the number of Third Transformation Professionals in the Red Heart Regiment began to surge.

[What usually troubles the members of the Red Heart Group when leveling up is the speed of refining the God-given crystals.]

[After all, for a Super B-class group like the Red Heart Group, there is no shortage of God-given Crystals.]

[Outside Ningcheng's defenses, a demonic tide surged, with various level 30 and 40 abyssal monsters roaming rampant.]

[The most common extraordinary resource dropped by high-level abyss monsters is the God-Gifted Crystal.]

[The high-quality divine crystals that ordinary professionals would spend a fortune to purchase are simply a piece of cake for the war group guarding the defense line.]

[Now that the speed of refining the God-Granted Crystals has increased, the overall strength of the Red Heart Group will naturally experience a qualitative leap!]

Combined with the high-level skill cards and high-quality equipment stored in the family warehouses, the Red Heart and Guard regiments were able to upgrade their equipment.

[When the Red Heart Group needs other extraordinary resources, or needs to hire other professionals to perform certain tasks, they usually use God-given Crystals to pay for it.]

[This has led to an influx of more and more freelancers into Ningcheng, and the level of the professionals following the Red Heart Group has also become higher and higher.]

[No way, exchanging high-quality God-given crystals with other factions requires too many rules and regulations.]

[Unless it's a precious extraordinary resource, you'll also need to add contribution points, or other exclusive tools like faction tokens and nameplates.]

[In this comparison, the exchange channel established by the Chixin Club is really excellent.]

[Although the price of the Chixinhui exchange channel has not been reduced, the lack of twists and turns is enough to attract the attention of freelancers.]

[As I said, in a world dominated by the pursuit of the worst, organizations like the Chixin Society that maintain normalcy are the epitome of conscience.]

[January of the 134th year of the Transcendent Calendar. As Lin Xue translated and revised more and more techniques, you sought to rapidly increase the combat power of the Red Heart Regiment and to recruit more freelancers to join the fight against the aristocratic families.]

[After all, they practiced the techniques monopolized by the aristocratic family, which, in a sense, had already violated the bottom line of the aristocratic family's rules.]

[Practicing martial arts is actually like a freelancer's pledge of allegiance against the aristocratic families!]

[Perhaps there are many smart people in this world, but can they resist the temptation brought by the practice?]

[So, with a wave of your hand, you directly added the Red Heart Society's revised skills to the Red Heart Society's redeemable list.]

[As long as you are a member of the Red Heart Society, you can use your contribution points to redeem these magical skills that contain precious characteristics.]

[Although the skills require a lot of exchange points, the contribution points of the Red Heart Association are easy to obtain.]

[Ordinary extraordinary resources are also acquired within the Red Heart Society.]

[In other words, as long as a certain professional or a certain force can provide a large amount of ordinary extraordinary resources, they can also be exchanged for cultivation techniques from the Chixin Association.]

[For a moment, the entire federation was shaken.]

[Even the aristocratic families in the center of the Federation were stunned.]

【What is the Red Heart Society trying to do? 】

[The martial arts are the foundation of aristocratic families' survival and advancement! ]

[After obtaining such a precious technique, shouldn't a normal force keep it hidden, diligently cultivate it, and then crush their peers?]

[Or perhaps, is it to be kept for one's direct descendants, for the core figures cultivated by one's own organization?]

[Even if an exchange is necessary, it is to obtain extremely precious resources or other skills.]

[You just threw it into the exchange area, simply set a contribution point value and then did nothing about it. What's the matter with that? ]

[So why did Chi Xin trigger a riot and then massacre the Shangdu family? ]

Is it purely for the benefit of the public?

[In this world, there is actually an organization that is so dedicated to serving the people? ]

[But no matter what, the Chixin Society's actions are digging up the roots of the family! ]

[At this moment, the aristocratic families were almost going crazy with anxiety.]

[So, they united and began to move towards the negotiation faction as a whole.]

[At the same time, they began to suppress the resistance faction by all means.]

They wanted to defeat the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire as quickly as possible, then immediately dispatch their army and regiments to Shangdu to annihilate this unknown Red Heart regiment!

[In contrast to the eagerness of the Federation families, the commanders of the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire, upon learning of this, immediately toasted and celebrated, drinking heavily.]

[In the long run, the actions of the Red Heart Regiment will tend to strengthen the Federation's national strength.]

[But they know the nature of the Federation families too well, and they will never allow the Red Heart Group to continue like this.]

Therefore, they don't have to worry too much, and they don't even have to fight.

[We just need to deploy a large army here to block the Federation for a while.]

[At that time, peaceful negotiations will naturally come.]

After learning about the magical power and the conditions for redeeming it, a large number of freelancers and forces within the Federation rushed to the Ningcheng frontline without stopping.

【As for the requirements for joining the Red Heart Society? 】

Isn't it just a hand-raising ceremony, reading the new ideas of the Red Heart Society, and chanting the slogan "Red Heart Victory"?

[Will they lose a piece of meat after doing this? ]

【Won't!】

【If that's the case, then why are you hesitating? 】

[Even poorer professionals have discovered that the Chixin Association has introduced an incentive policy.]

[Spreading the new ideas of the Red Heart Society will also earn you a batch of Contribution Points based on the scale and situation of your dissemination.]

[This immediately made these professionals excited.]

[Of course, before spreading the word, they must carefully study the system and ideology of the Red Heart Society.]

[And because the Chixin Society stands on the side of the lower classes and the poor, its ideas and theories, its systems and rules, naturally resonate with those working at the bottom of the professions.]

Therefore, many professionals initially studied the Red Heart Society with the intention of taking shortcuts.

As they read, they were convinced by the theories and gradually became loyal fans of the Red Heart Society!

[In this way, the number of professionals and various extraordinary resources pouring into the Red Heart Society increased day by day.]

Like a cancerous cell in its later stages, the scale and influence of the Red Heart Society began to spread wildly within the Federation's body.

The noble families in other provinces and cities knew the seriousness of the situation, but even if they joined forces to suppress it, they were still unable to stop the spread of the Red Heart Society.

[It even had a certain counter-effect.]

[Why can the children of aristocratic families practice martial arts, but they can't? ]

[Now the Chixin Association has laid out all the techniques before them, but the aristocratic families are still trying to stop them!]

[Since that's the case, then let's flee the aristocratic family's ruling area, head to Ningcheng, head to Shangdu, and fully support the Chixin Society!]

[As long as they want to practice the skills and experience the magical effects of the skills, they will inevitably be blocked and hunted down by the aristocratic families!]

[Therefore, joining the Red Heart Group and letting them protect them is the only way! ]

[In February of the 134th year of the Transcendent Calendar, several fourth-level professionals came to Ningcheng and applied to join the Red Heart Society.]

[Their arrival was received by Lin Xue, the president of the Red Heart Society.]

[Most of them took out precious extraordinary resources to exchange for cultivation techniques.]

[However, there are also a few fourth-level professionals who don't have many resources but also want to practice martial arts.]

Therefore, they want to join the Red Heart Chapter and serve the Chapter.

【After learning of their request, you agreed to their joining. 】

[However, since you are not familiar with their personalities and pasts, you have listed them in a separate organization.]

[During the battle, they only accept your orders and do not participate in the Red Heart War Group's war mechanism.]

[Regarding this, the fourth-level professional expressed understanding.]

[As poor freelancers, they are used to being idle on weekdays.]

If they weren't attracted by the technique, they probably wouldn't have come to Ningcheng.

Therefore, not letting them manage people and not letting them participate in management is also a good thing for them.

[In May of the 134th year of the Supernormal Calendar, the old principal was promoted to level 49.]

[Since his bronze mana has been polished to perfection, with the level +1 entry, the old principal's actual professional level has reached level 50.]

You are very excited about the old principal's improvement in strength.

[In a sense, the Red Heart Group can now be considered to have a fifth-level professional of their own.]

[So, you spent a lot of resources and money to buy a level 50 suit and level 50 accessories for the old principal from the Xia family in Shancheng.]

[Although the Federation's aristocratic families are resisting the Red Heart Warband, once the war is over, they will inevitably sanction and crack down on the Red Heart Warband.]

[But it is well known that the Red Heart Group is very wealthy.]

[So even if the Red Heart Warband exterminated the aristocratic families, there were still some families willing to trade with them.] [After all, what did the slaughter of the Shangdu aristocratic families have to do with them in the Mountain City?]

[Of course, the deal is done at this stage. After the war is over, they will also blockade and sanction the Red Heart Group.]

【Business! 】

【Not shabby! 】

[The old principal's strength has undergone a qualitative leap with the help of the level 50 suit and accessories.]

[After all, the different levels of professional equipment and accessories bring completely different benefits.]

For example, a level 50 accessory has higher attribute bonuses than a level 40 accessory, but also has a new attribute.

[The same principle applies to level 50 suits.]

However, since the old principal's actual level is 49, he is not considered a true fifth-level professional, so his skill slots have not been increased.

[Otherwise, the old principal's strength would definitely be even more terrifying.]

[In June of the 134th year of the Transcendent Calendar, the Ningcheng Demon Cave erupted with the largest demonic tide in history. However, the Red Heart Battle Group is now full of experts.]

[Even the energy condensed by the Guardian Corps through the Crucible Battle Formation has reached the fifth level.]

Therefore, with the three major war groups cooperating with the freelancers under the Red Heart Society, this massive demonic tide, powerful enough to breach the Shangdu's defenses, was defeated.

[The strength displayed by the Red Heart Regiment has spread throughout the Federation.]

[Although the Federation's noble families don't want to admit it, anyone with eyes can see that the strength displayed by the Red Heart Regiment has already reached the scale of a Federation Class A Regiment.]

[In the same month, you considered possible future changes and expanded three more guard regiments.]

[The selected professionals for this guard regiment all start at the second level.]

[After all, as the Red Heart Society expands, the quality of its professionals is also rapidly improving.]

[You look at the six regiments under your command, full of vigor and enthusiasm.]

In July of the 134th year of the Transcendental Calendar, after more than half a year of confrontation and blockade between the two empires, and with considerable military expenditures, anti-war sentiment within the country gradually grew.

[Most importantly, the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire have suffered repeated defeats in their wars against the Abyss.]

[For a time, domestic calls for the regiment to return to defense and for the army to retreat became increasingly louder.]

[Thus, after the Federation made several concessions, the negotiation ceremony officially began.]

[First, the northern border of the Federation belongs to the White Eagle Empire, and the southern border of the Federation belongs to the Winter Empire.]

This was the bottom line for both countries. At this point, the Federation, desperate to end the war, naturally chose to back down and sign this humiliating treaty of ceding territory.

[Secondly, the Federation needs to pay an extremely high war reparations to the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire.]

[The two countries will go to war, and all the expenses of maintaining the army will be charged to the Federation.]

[That's what war is like. The winner takes all, and the loser pays everything.]

[Finally, if the Federation does not have sufficient resources to pay compensation, it can mortgage its valuable scorching gold oil fields, refined gold mines, and various energy veins.]

[As soon as this treaty came out, it caused a huge uproar within the Federation.]

[However, due to the concerted efforts of the Federation's aristocratic families to suppress it, this did not cause any waves.]

[In September of the 134th year of the Supernatural Calendar, the White Eagle Empire retreated to the new northern defense line, while the Winter Empire retreated to the new southern defense line.]

[However, before the two empires withdrew, they both sent envoys to the Red Heart Society to sign a treaty regarding large-scale military equipment.]

[At any time, these large military weapons are extremely expensive.]

[Even money can’t buy it.]

[But now the two empires are not only selling at a low price, they are even willing to let the Chixin Association take out a loan to purchase it when the Chixin Association cannot afford much money.]

[You completely understand the thinking of the two great empires.]

[Once the Federation resumes normal operations, it will inevitably come to wipe out the Red Heart Society.]

[For the two empires, the more chaotic the federation, the better.]

The more chaotic and weaker the country becomes, the easier it will be for the two empires to continue to exploit the Federation.

[That's why they generously provided the Red Heart Society with a large number of military weapons before leaving, leaving a hidden danger for the federal rebellion.]

You will naturally not refuse this.

[As for the terrifying amount of money spent on purchasing large military weapons? ]

【It doesn’t matter! 】

[It's just two loan agreements, sign them!]

[Don't even mention two copies. As long as the other party gives you the item, you'd be willing to sign even two hundred copies!]

[I already owe so much, even annihilating dozens of aristocratic families, and I still owe this? ]

【Anyway, you don’t plan to pay it back.】

[And the aristocratic families and warband armies that had been stagnating in the center of the Federation for a long time began to rush to various locations according to the orders of the Federation General Office.]

[Under the call of the Qin family at the center of the Federation, and with the responses from top families like the Dongfang, Nangong, and Ximen families, the Federation military issued orders for the 16th, 23rd, and 55th Armies to march towards Shangdu.]

[At the same time, two numbered regiments and seven Class A regiments followed closely behind as high-end combat forces.]

[Their goal is to wipe out the cancer of the Red Heart Society! ]

[Being trapped in the center of the Federation for so long by the two empires, the aristocratic families have long been filled with anger.]

[This time, they will vent their anger in their own way.]

[This is also a message to all professionals within the Federation: while the Federation may have suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars, it will still have no problem suppressing you.]

[However, contrary to the expectations of the Federation's aristocratic families, morale was extremely low when the troops and regiments arrived at the front lines.]

[One could even say that anti-war sentiment is very high.]

[For the lower-level soldiers and members of the chapter, they did not think Chixin had done anything wrong.]

On their way here, they had all more or less learned about the Red Heart Society's deeds.

[The Chixin Society will distribute techniques that are only for the cultivation of important figures, and will awaken professions for ordinary people for free. On certain special days, they will also distribute life potions and body-hardening potions for free.]

[Is this kind of organization, this kind of war group, this kind of force really so evil that it needs to be eliminated? ]

[Faced with the two great empires, the Federation was submissive.]

[However, facing the Red Heart Society, which truly cared about them, the Federation launched a heavy blow.]

How can this be convincing?

How to make people fight for their lives?

If it weren't for the Federation Army's well-developed supervisory system, some soldiers and chapter members would have wanted to defect and join the Red Heart Society.

[So even though the Federation's military strength was far superior to the Red Heart Society, the war inevitably fell into a stalemate.]

[In December of the 134th year of the Supernormal Calendar, a massive riot broke out on the Abyssal Front. A massive demonic tide erupted, forcing the military to urgently halt this ridiculous civil war.]

[After all, after this period of contact on the battlefield, the military and the management bureau are very familiar with the military strength of the Red Heart Society.]

[Although there is a reason for the rising anti-war sentiment and negative attitude among the military.]

[But if the Chixin Society wasn't strong enough, the other party would have been wiped out long ago.]

[At this moment, the military and the administration began to truly pay attention to the Red Heart Society entrenched in Shangdu.]

[A civilian organization, taking advantage of the federal chaos, has grown to such a high level in such a short period of time.]

If the Red Heart Society could be used by the Federation, the Federation's defense of the Abyss Front would be less stressful.

[So, the 17th Federation Regiment was ordered to come to negotiate.]

[That night, the leader of the 17th Regiment visited you privately.]

【He is very grateful for your help in the past.】

Even though he came from a wealthy family, he had nothing but admiration for what the Red Heart Society was planning to do.

[The Federation has become so weak that it has to change!]

He also knew in his heart that the Federation's decline was due to the blood-sucking aristocratic family.

[Therefore, if the Federation wants to rise, it must first destroy the aristocratic families within its borders.]

[If we don't destroy the noble families and the parasites that suck the blood from the main body, the Federation will never be strong!]

You are very interested in the unique insights of the Seventeenth Regiment's leader.

[After all, the butt determines the head. Even if the other party sees the shortcomings of the Federation, they shouldn't say so to me.]

[Unless the other party also has ideals and beliefs burning in their hearts, and also has the burning desire to change the Federation.]

When the Red Heart Society proved the correctness of its strategy with its own strength in a very short period of time, the reformists within the Federation found the direction for change and began to stir.
