CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 103: WELCOME PACKAGE

Chu Chen handed the signed contract to Li Wen, then smilingly asked, "Director Lu, may I exchange for items in the treasury now?"

Lu Hongfei laughed upon hearing this.

"Of course you can, just tell Manager Li what you need."

Chu Chen smiled as he replied, "I need a Wood and Earth Star Crystal, is there one in the treasury?"

"I’ll check for you."

Li Wen responded and then tapped her Communication Bracelet to start checking.

A moment later, Li Wen withdrew her finger and smiled, saying, "Lucky you, our branch has a Wood and Earth Star Crystal; it requires fifteen points to exchange."

Chu Chen immediately showed a delighted expression; it seems his Nirvana luck is good, and the exchange in the Daoist School only requires fifteen points, which is quite cheap.

Noticing this, Li Wen smiled and said, "Later, you can join us to fetch it, and also collect your cultivation funds."

Chu Chen gladly accepted upon hearing this.

After chatting briefly, Chu Chen followed the two to Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

A half-hour later, the three arrived at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, located in the West City area of Celestial Star City, occupying an area of ten thousand square meters with ten floors, making it a rare tall building in the city.

Such a tall building is also a symbol of strength; it’s worth noting Celestial Star City cannot defend against all flying Star Beasts, and some strong flying Star Beasts can easily break through the city’s blockade and enter.

Every year, events occur where flying Star Beasts attack the city; the higher the building, the more likely it is to be attacked.

The facade of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School is extremely impressive; the main gate is forged from cyan-black Cyan Cloud Iron and alone is worth millions. The building has a giant sculpture of a Cyan Dragon, looking majestic and powerful, and on the rooftop are four gilded characters: "Cyan Dragon Daoist School."

Seeing the shock in Chu Chen’s eyes, Lu Hongfei couldn’t help but smile and say, "Amazing, isn’t it? I was also very impressed the first time I saw it."

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "It’s indeed impressive; do we really have dragons as Star Beasts here?"

Lu Hongfei shook his head and said, "Of course not, but a high-level Secret Realm once appeared here, many strong individuals explored it and few returned, those who did said the Star Beast power there was terrifying, beyond their ability to resist. They survived only with the help of five Star Beasts, and to commemorate them, the Five Great Daoist Schools were established."

Chu Chen’s expression changed dramatically after hearing this; could it be that ancient legends are true, and the Four Sacred Beasts exist? But why would they appear in a Secret Realm? Could I use it to return to my original world?

As Chu Chen was lost in thought, Lu Hongfei spoke again, "Alright, let’s go inside."

Awakened by Lu Hongfei’s words, Chu Chen quickly nodded and followed him inside the Daoist School.

The facilities inside the Daoist School were full of a sense of technology, surprising Chu Chen.

"Alright, let Manager Li show you around, I have tasks to handle."

After bidding farewell to Lu Hongfei, Li Wen took Chu Chen up to the second floor.

They arrived at a room at the end of the corridor.

An elderly man full of spirit was responsible for guarding there; he wore loose martial arts attire, his hair was gray, and he sported a goatee, giving a feeling of a reclusive master.

Li Wen respectfully said to the elderly man, "Elder Li, this is A-level genius Chu Chen who just signed a contract with our Daoist School."

The elderly man assessed Chu Chen upon hearing this and then smiled, saying, "Not bad, a hero indeed arises from the youth; young Lu finally discovered a decent candidate after so many years."

"Sigh! Director Lu invested heavily this time," Li Wen sighed and said.

Elder Li nodded, "Hmm, our branch hasn’t recruited decent talents for years, it’s understandable young Lu is anxious."

"No wonder, our branch has ranked last for consecutive years; if there’s no improvement, Director Lu will be transferred from Celestial Star City, possibly demoted to a deputy position."

Chu Chen asked curiously upon hearing this, "What is this about?"

"Daoist Schools hold an annual exchange competition in March, funding is based on the results, and performing excellently may earn nomination for True Dragon Training Camp selection."

Chu Chen finally understood; no wonder Lu Hongfei offered him so many benefits, he’s betting on Chu Chen himself.

Elder Li gently stroked the ring on his left hand middle finger, and a one-meter-square metal box appeared before Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was amazed upon seeing this, realizing Elder Li’s ring is a Space Ring, and it was his first time seeing someone wear one.

No wonder Li Wen is so respectful to Elder Li; his strength must not be as simple as it seems.

"Little girl, I’ll leave the rest to you," Elder Li said with a smile.

"Yes, rest assured, I’ll handle the rest well, we’ll take our leave now," Li Wen responded respectfully.

Li Wen secured the metal box and led Chu Chen away.

Soon, Li Wen took Chu Chen to an office, she took out the metal box and smiled, saying, "Inside are the items distributed to you." She then opened the metal box.

Chu Chen looked closely and found there were only three items inside the metal box.

The first item is a Communication Bracelet; this bracelet is B-level, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Monarch-level Peak Star Beast, and the bracelet functionality is comprehensive. Not only does it have all mobile phone functions but also can receive tasks from the Daoist School, check personal points, and information on item exchanges in the treasury, etc. In other words, with enough points this Communication Bracelet is a mobile treasury.

Li Wen handed the Communication Bracelet to Chu Chen and said, "After using the defense shield in the bracelet, recharging it requires point redemption; each B-level defense shield recharge costs two hundred points, do not use unless in life-threatening situations."

Chu Chen nodded gratefully upon hearing this; after signing the contract, Li Wen’s attitude shifted dramatically, likely because they now belong to the same faction.

The second item is a ring, which, through Li Wen’s introduction, Chu Chen learned is a Beast Taming Ring worth two million Alliance Coins.

The third item is a B-Class Combat Suit, valued at three million, the suit’s level corresponds with the Communication Bracelet, it has good defense capabilities and exceptional endurance, providing excellent protection for Beast Masters during battle or exploring Secret Realms.

For instance, upon entering the forest no need to be as cautious as before, the Combat Suit can prevent mosquito bites, and its interior has temperature regulation abilities, eliminating concern over temperature and climate in special Secret Realms in the future.
