1069 Secrets Are Not That Important

Cold sweat involuntarily seeped out of Chu Nan’s forehead.

Ever since he had successfully tempered his body and reforged it hundreds of times in the alternate space, coupled with his powerful data ability, he had long been able to perfectly control every subtle change in his body. Things like cold sweat had long been forgotten in the deepest part of his mind.

However, now, cold sweat actually seeped out of his forehead.

His brain had obtained a powerful data ability like an A.I. because of an accident. This was Chu Nan’s greatest secret and had always been a secret that he thought no one else would know. However, now, it was exposed by Elkart.

Seeing the change in Chu Nan’s expression, Elkart laughed with a relaxed expression.

“Heh, Chu Nan, there’s no need to be so nervous. I don’t understand what’s there to be nervous about. Even if you really obtained such a powerful ability by accident, it’s because of your luck. What are you afraid and nervous about?”

Elkart spread out his hands, the smile on his face filled with confidence.

“Look, I never hide the fact that I obtained my current ability because of an accident, because there’s no need. On the contrary, I’m very willing to tell others this fact and let others know that I’m so different. This is very good. I like to see others look at me with admiration and envy, and I also like the feeling of using my ability to easily resolve my ability. What about you? Did you also greatly increase your strength in a short period of time because you obtained this ability? You also like this feeling very much?”

After all, Chu Nan had experienced countless life and death trials. Soon, he suppressed the nervousness he felt because the password had been exposed.

He quickly calmed down and looked at Elkart seriously. He could not help but nod lightly.

He had to admit that Elkart was right. There was indeed nothing to be nervous about.

Even if he admitted it, so what?

Moreover, Elkart was only guessing and did not completely confirm it. If he did not admit it, there was nothing he could do.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Nan replied, “I indeed feel that my… brain has become different from before because of an accident. This has allowed me to obtain a lot of help when cultivating martial techniques. Many problems that I could not resolve in the past have been solved, so my strength has increased much faster than in the previous twelve years in these two years. However, from the perspective of a martial artist, I don’t think this is the only reason. The hard work and various experiences I’ve put in during this period of time are the greatest reason for my rapid increase.”

“Oh, I agree, of course, I agree.” Elkart waved his hands forcefully and shouted in a very exaggerated tone, “I understand your thoughts very well. After I announced to everyone that I had accidentally obtained a powerful ability, everyone thought that my achievements were only because of the ability I had accidentally obtained. No one knows how much time and energy I had spent because of this, as if without this ability, I was actually a useless person! This is not fair!”

Chu Nan looked at the excited Elkart in shock.

Could it be that this guy… had accumulated a lot of resentment usually?

After roaring for a while, Elkart quickly calmed down.

He sized up Chu Nan with an even more interested gaze than before and asked with a smile, “Heh, Chu Nan, I’m not very interested in martial techniques, so I didn’t become a powerful martial artist. Can you tell me if having a powerful brain is very helpful in cultivating martial techniques?”

Looking at Elkart’s gaze, Chu Nan suddenly became wary.

This guy was definitely an extremely smart guy. He could not let his guard down because of his words.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan nodded and said, “It’s indeed helpful. However, I just said that it’s useless to rely on your brain to increase your martial technique. It’s more about your talent, perseverance, and various opportunities.”

“For example?”

“For example, I can use my now powerful brain to analyze the problems that might happen when I cultivate my previous cultivation method, but if I want to resolve this problem, it can’t be solved by logic and calculations. Otherwise, your Noctem Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t only have 23 Star-Grade Martial Artists now, right?”

Elkart could not help but be stunned by Chu Nan’s counterattack before he smiled.

“You’re right. Our Chamber of Commerce has tried to combine martial technique cultivation and scientific methods countless times to create powerful Star-Grade Martial Artists in batches, but we haven’t succeeded even once until now.”

At this point, Elkart suddenly spat forcefully and cursed loudly, “It’s all those damned and barbaric Declan people’s fault! If they were willing to cooperate with us with all their might, we wouldn’t have made no progress for so long! They must be worried that we have grasped the secret of their martial technique, but their advantage no longer exists. They’re even worried that we’ll find a chance to destroy them! Bah! Who cares about occupying the territory of these barbarians! What we want is only the improvement of technology!”

Chu Nan helplessly slapped his forehead and could not help but sigh.

At first glance, this Elkart looked like a very good and refined person. Why did he look hysterical and flustered as soon as he spoke?

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Elkart clearly noticed Chu Nan’s reaction and quickly put away the angry expression on his face and the complaints in his mouth. He revealed an apologetic smile to him, “During this period of time, I encountered some… Hmm… some problems in the cooperation project with the Declan Empire, so every time I mention them, I can’t help but feel angry, right?”

“It would be strange if I could understand you…” Chu Nan muttered in his mind, but he smiled on the surface and dealt with it.

In order to stop listening to Elkart’s meaningless complaints, Chu Nan asked the question in front of him.

“Then, Mr. Elkart, you only found me this time to ask if I’ve also made my brain more developed because of an accident?”

“This is my main goal, but there’s another very important goal. I want to personally persuade you to join our Chamber of Commerce’s plan.” Elkart’s expression finally became serious, “I believe some people in our Chamber of Commerce have already mentioned this plan to you before this, and I’ve just mentioned it to you.”

“Yes, I know. It’s your Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Star-Grade Martial Artist Mass Production Plan’, right?”

“Yes.” Elkart nodded and admitted, “In the past, our Chamber of Commerce had always hoped to cooperate with the Declan Empire and better push this plan forward. However, those guys from the Declan Empire rejected this suggestion because of their narrow-mindedness. As for our Chamber of Commerce… you should know that our accumulation in this martial technique is far inferior to the Declan Empire. Because our development direction has been different from the beginning, this plan has never been smooth enough.”

“So you think it’s possible to obtain a breakthrough from me now?” Chu Nan immediately asked.

“Yes.” Elkart’s expression was still serious, “You’re the most special example I’ve seen so far. If I can obtain enough research results from you, I believe this plan will definitely obtain a very important breakthrough.”

Chu Nan looked at the non-joking expression on Elkart’s face and felt even stranger.

“Then I want to ask a question.”

“Please.”

“Since even the higher-ups of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce think I’m so important, why doesn’t your Chamber of Commerce have that deep contact with me? In my usual opinion of your Noctem Chamber of Commerce, I originally thought that you should take out a huge contract and smash it in front of me so that I can’t reject it at all?”

“If possible, I naturally hope to do this.” Elkart smiled, “However, there’s a problem stopping us from doing this now.”

“What’s the problem?”

“It’s very simple. Because you’re not a Star-Grade Martial Artist yet.”
