Chapter 119 Fate
Gu Yuchuan climbed out of bed, put on his clothes, and knew that he had to maintain a certain level of authority when dealing with his subordinates. Otherwise, if he didn't take them seriously, they would gradually become less respectful of him. So, he had to pay attention to these little things. Besides, it was inappropriate for him to be lying comfortably in bed while they came to report to him. It felt like the atmosphere between them was a bit too ambiguous.
"come in."
After Bai Li entered, she first bowed. Even though their relationship in private was not purely that of superior and subordinate, Gu Yuchuan always had some friendship with Bai Li and did not simply regard her as a subordinate.
"It's so late, why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing here?"
Bai Li looked extremely anxious: "Your Majesty, something has happened. A layer of gray mist has shrouded your star of destiny, which looks extremely dangerous. The key point is that I have calculated many times that this calamity is unavoidable and can only be withstood. It seems that fate is pushing us forward. There is a group of people who are destined to have a life-or-death struggle with Your Majesty."
Gu Yuchuan immediately thought of that mecha.
He was silent for a moment: "Do you know why?"
This calmed Bai Li down: "Your Majesty, I truly cannot calculate it, but I have a speculation. It is possible that Your Majesty did something that led to their rise, but Heaven does not like them, or they did something that is detrimental to Heaven. Therefore, Heaven uses the power of destiny to intertwine your fates, and a winner must be decided."
Gu Yuchuan sighed deeply. It seemed that a battle with them was inevitable: "Alright, I understand. But can you tell where my path to survival lies?"
He asked casually, but to his surprise, Bai Li actually nodded: "Your Majesty, there are two Tianlong stars shining brightly above you, helping you deal with this black mist. This means that you have two close friends who are connected by fate. They are your benefactors in overcoming this calamity. With their help, the chances of getting through it have increased by 20%."
Gu Yuchuan immediately thought of his two sworn brothers, the Xuan Turtle Demon General and the Ink Scale Demon General. One had power and the other had strength, so asking them for help would indeed be beneficial. However, all of this still needed to be considered carefully.
"Alright, I understand. Go back and continue your observation. If anything happens, notify me immediately. Also, focus on your cultivation. I don't see any improvement in your cultivation level. Take these spirit stones; they're a private subsidy from me as a friend. Don't tell anyone."
The two hundred spirit stones were for two reasons. First, it was genuinely a subsidy for a friend; from a friend's perspective, he didn't want his companion's cultivation advancement to be so slow. Second, from the King's perspective, today's events clearly demonstrated Bai Li's immense talent and significant potential for development. Therefore, he planned to invest in him again.
Bai Li took the spirit stones and left. This news kept Gu Yuchuan awake at all. However, his mind was not at peace, so he couldn't cultivate at all. He could only start silently reciting the Golden Light Mantra. Slowly, he closed his eyes.
Early the next morning, he prepared to go out. He brought with him the share he had prepared for the Black Shark Demon King, which was four thousand spirit stones. It was definitely not a small amount, and the Golden Core Demon King would not ignore it. Moreover, for the Black Shark Demon King, it was a business with no capital. He could make money while lying down, so the other party was naturally very happy.
Now, looking ahead to the future, there are two things he absolutely must do. The first is the matter of the Dragon Gate. He needs to obtain a spot in the competition through the Black Shark Demon King before he can participate in anything else. Without the Black Shark Demon King, he simply won't be able to register.
The second thing is to deal with the matter of fate. Those mechs that came from who-knows-where, no matter what their background or what they want to do, since only one of them can survive, he will go all out. He has already thought it through. He will first go to the Black Shark Demon King, obtain the spot, and then go directly to the front line. They can use Pei Yu to lure him out, and in turn, he can use Pei Yu to lure them out. It's just a matter of whose methods are superior. At least Gu Yuchuan feels that he will not lose.
He went directly to the Tide Palace. Now the servants of the Tide Palace recognized him, and their attitude towards him was very good, after all, his status and strength were different now.
Soon, he met the Black Shark Demon King, and he very politely bowed to him.
"Xiao Gu, your shop has just opened and you're usually very busy. How come you have time to come here? Is there something you need?"
Gu Yuchuan nodded, his smile bright: "If there's nothing else, I wouldn't dare disturb Your Highness. There must be something important, something really great."
"Oh?" The Black Shark Demon King also became somewhat interested: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Yuchuan took out a storage bag: "Your Highness, this is the commission our shop has given you for the past two days. Please take a look."
He casually accepted it, but was still startled. Just one tenth of that was four thousand. Sure enough, the wealth of a weapon refiner was immeasurable. An idea came to his mind.
"Alright, you have indeed done a good job. I can say with certainty that you are the most outstanding presence on the outskirts of Yunhaize. I have an opportunity for you, but your current strength and dedication to me are completely insufficient. Therefore, you need more to impress me."
Although Gu Yuchuan knew what the other party was going to say, he still asked, "Alright, I wonder what kind of request Your Highness has? I will certainly grant it."
The Black Shark Demon King nodded: "I have two requirements. First, within a month, you must give me 20,000 spirit stones. Second, within three months, you must possess the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage or the bloodline of a high-grade spirit beast. If you achieve these, I will give you an incredible opportunity. You don't need to know what it is now; I will tell you after you meet the requirements."
Gu Yuchuan immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in helping me. I promise I will work hard and ensure I pass Your Highness's test."
The Black Shark Demon King also seemed to have high hopes for him. Originally, he had planned to give up recommending this candidate, but unexpectedly, he saw another promising talent. They also receive rewards for the people they recommend who achieve good rankings, which is why the Black Shark Demon King is so concerned. Otherwise, he wouldn't care about such things.
After exchanging a few polite words, Gu Yuchuan left, heading straight to the front lines, determined to seize the initiative this time.
