Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1455 - 735: The Pseudohuman and the Sea (Part 2)

"It's just some frost and wind."

"Is it?" Amid the casual banter, Ji Jue laughed too, nodding, "Then I must be worrying too much."

Damn it, can't take it anymore!

A bunch of vermin, I'm going to burn you to ashes!!!

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm down, Ji Jue, calm down, don't bother with idiots.

Big storms are coming, yet still so laid-back. No wonder there's constant chaos in this pit, always scheming how to save a bit more for themselves and squeeze others to pay more, with their losses getting more severe.

Ji Jue just felt that he's about to have a reaction!

After all, a craftsman always ensures everything is prepared, and Ji Jue can't breathe without a backup plan.

In the lab or workshop, if any newbie dared to treat safety protocols as a joke, the master or mentor wouldn't hesitate to slap their face.

Alas, politics are never about physics, it doesn't even have to care about physics.

Ji Jue was silent, the meeting was still lively.

Everyone had started enthusiastically discussing the gains, as if participating in a hunt.

After all, besides losses, a Disaster Beast also represents gains!

Every time a Disaster Beast passes, various organizations rush to the Endless Sea waving their checkbooks, purchasing the materials left by Disaster Beasts and Mutants.

The demand for medicine, creation, Secret Ritual, and sacrificial items is enormous!

The blood, flesh, and bones of many Disaster Beasts, even their specialties, often have buyers waiting. Once the Disaster Beast passes, it's a clearance sale.

The biggest buyers among all the wealthy are the Federation and the Empire, plus the craftsmen's Association. The masters have their needs, even more exaggerated ones.

Money flows like water, fortune from all directions.

Even after deducting the dead, war losses, and compensation of the lower levels, each can still pocket some on the side.

In a sense, the Seven Cities Defense was founded to handle this dirty and exhausting work of gathering materials, its command priority even above defending the Seven Cities.

As for the lives of civilians... it doesn't matter, as long as they believe they are protected.

Besides, the lords are kind-hearted, they won't let them all perish.

Now was the perfect time for all parties to showcase their strength, heritage, skills, and capabilities!

As a result, everyone's ready, eager and impatient!

"Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji?"

Ji Jue heard calls around the long table, looked up, and saw everyone staring at him, so he smiled: "Hmm? Sorry, I've been staying up late recently, got distracted."

"What's going on?"

"Nothing, just that everyone was discussing..."

Dan City's president was still smiling, warmly said: "Taking advantage of the Disaster Beast event, we should train the troops, straighten out order.

Through the gains from this Disaster Beast event, we can also have an internal ranking, it's a bit of fun, isn't it?"

"Sounds fun." Ji Jue nodded.

"What's your opinion then?" the Dan City Federation president asked.

"No problem, I agree with everything, I'm fine with it all."

Ji Jue smiled, nodding repeatedly, clapping in praise: "What a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"

Damn bunch of old farts, still figuring out how to rank seats and grab chairs here, huh!

Internal ranking?

Claiming it's fun, but actually thinking about the Alliance Hierarch position, wanting to use this opportunity to get a head start in the upcoming struggle.

First select the Seven Cities' best Batulu... then in the next chance to strive for progress, isn't it logical to change the title?

Seven Cities Alliance Hierarch, doesn't that sound pleasant?

As for the casualties and losses below in the pursuit of gains and achievements, that's not within the scope of consideration.

Those who shout about disregarding costs are usually not included in the cost.

After a meeting, ironically, the 'biggest gainer' was Fernan, sitting silently as a decoration at the forefront throughout!

Everyone agreed that at this critical juncture, it's unwise to act recklessly. It's essential to have a prudent and virtuous acting speaker to stabilize the big picture, linking the Seven Cities.

Holding the fort, shining and contributing, isn't that wonderful?

Simply put, from execution to staying of execution.

From 'You leave immediately' to 'You leave after taking the blame post-Disaster Beast'... might even fill the Seven Cities' gap with your body.

Worse than Minkler, Fernan volunteered.

To preserve a lifetime of achievement, out of obsession or else, he willingly sits in this pit of fire, in silence, as everyone wraps him in chains, writing the ending of this road.

From start to finish, not a word.

Until the meeting adjourned, everyone pats their butt and leaves, Fernan still sits in the chair, silently staring at the documents on the table.

That Disaster Beast defense plan that no one took seriously.

Ji Jue paused his steps for a moment, glanced over, suddenly asked: "Why not leave?"

Fernan's hand holding the plan shook slightly, he retorted without looking back: "To leave in crisis, how is that the act of a man?"

"Oh."

Ji Jue withdrew his gaze, "Then good luck to you."

He turned and left.

If the cleanup on Luo Island brought any realization to Ji Jue, then it's only—people are often not as important as they think.
