1459 Invitation from the Headquarters of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce
With the addition of Prince Lekas, Chu Nan and the other three forcefully opened the teleportation door in the alternate space again. Soon, it was connected to the teleportation door that led to the 49th floor of the Endless Abyss and successfully returned to the 49th floor.
In the month or so that Chu Nan had been lying in ambush, the Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had long improved their research on the teleportation door according to some data Chu Nan had left for Carola. Now, they could already inject energy into the abandoned teleportation door through external forces and restart it.
Therefore, as soon as the five of them returned to the 49th floor of the Endless Abyss, they successfully met up with the representatives sent by the Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce who had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing that Prince Lekas, Chu Nan, and the others had successfully returned, there was no one else. Even the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, Aimal, and Sacralu, who had gone with them, disappeared. The people of the Declan Empire who welcomed everyone, as well as the representatives of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, including Elkart, could not help but be shocked.
However, after Prince Lekas’s explanation, everyone quickly calmed down.
The teleportation door to the 50th floor was still in unstable spatial turbulence. Coupled with the fact that Prince Lekas had clearly reached some agreement with Pope Lockmarton, everyone did not continue to investigate. Instead, they returned the way they came.
On the way back, Elkart found Chu Nan alone.
“Heh, Chu Nan, your performance in the Garden Hunting Assembly was so outstanding. You also did such an important thing with Prince Lekas this time and helped the royal family of Declan greatly. Prince Lekas even praised you in public in front of us. I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you to obtain the highest reward of the Garden Hunting Assembly when we return this time. At the same time, the royal family of Declan should give you some additional rewards. Have you thought of what you want?”
Elkart raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Chu Nan, but he rejected it.
“I’m not even 20 years old. Let’s not drink first.” Chu Nan turned to look at Prince Lekas who was talking to the people of the Declan Empire in the distance and frowned slightly, “Rewards are not that important. What I want the most is the complete cultivation method of the Exterminating Heart Technique. They can’t give it to me, right?”
“Ha…” Elkart laughed, “You’re really greedy. Don’t even think about the Exterminating Heart Technique. That’s the foundation of the Declan royal family’s tens of thousands of years of standing in the Milky Way. It’s impossible to hand it to outsiders. Our Chamber of Commerce once used many abnormally generous conditions to exchange with them and even took out the top spatial technology as a condition, but they still rejected it. Although your current credit is not small, it’s still far from enough.”
“Therefore, the reward doesn’t matter. I only need to obtain an S-rank cultivation method to report back.” Chu Nan shrugged and said indifferently.
“Only an S-rank cultivation method?” Elkart narrowed his eyes and smiled, “An S-rank cultivation method is a dream reward for more than 99.999% of the martial artists in the entire Milky Way. However, when it comes to you, it becomes ‘as long as’. If others hear it, they’ll definitely be furious.”
“Tsk—” Chu Nan sneered in disdain, “Cultivation methods are cultivation methods. People are humans. If they can’t do it themselves, what’s the use of giving ten S-rank cultivation methods?”
“Oh? You mean that you’ll be very strong even without an S-rank cultivation method?” Elkart asked with interest.
“I didn’t say that.” Chu Nan waved his hand, “Although I don’t think it’s a big deal without an S-rank cultivation method, having an S-rank cultivation method can save me a lot of trouble. Moreover, there’s also a special cultivation method like the Exterminating Heart Technique. Its value clearly surpasses other ordinary S-rank cultivation methods.”
“Alright, don’t think about the Exterminating Heart Technique. Let’s think about something practical first.” Elkart stretched out his hand and patted Chu Nan’s shoulder. He took the opportunity to approach him and continued in a low voice, “Heh, Chu Nan, are you interested in coming to our Chamber of Commerce to be a research assistant?”
“Research assistant?” Chu Nan frowned and looked at him in surprise, “Research what? What can I be an assistant for?”
“Look…” Elkart stretched out his hand and pointed behind him. Behind them was the teleportation door that led to the 31st level of the Endless Abyss that had just left. “In this operation, you clearly have a deep understanding of the teleportation door in the Endless Abyss. Many key aspects of the cooperative research between our Chamber of Commerce and the Declan Empire during this period of time are built on the data you provide. Therefore, if you join, I believe we will greatly improve the research of the teleportation door and might even make a qualitative leap.”
Elkart’s expression became serious.
“Trust me, this is not only a simple research improvement but also something that can completely change the entire human society. If we can study these portals in the Endless Abyss thoroughly and use them in the entire Milky Way, I believe the entire Milky Way will undergo a huge change because of this. I believe…”
Towards the end, Elkart’s expression became more and more excited, and he even became a little impassioned. His voice could not help but increase greatly, causing the group of people in the distance to involuntarily look over.
Chu Nan hurriedly raised and pressed down, gesturing for him to restrain himself.
“Alright, I know what you’re talking about is very important, but does this thing really need me?” Chu Nan frowned in confusion, “I only have so much understanding of the teleportation door. In order to provide support quickly, I handed all the data to you through Carola. I can’t provide anything else. Why do you want me to join the research?”
“What we need is not what you know now, but here.” Elkart raised his hand and pointed at his head, “Clearly, you can obtain those believed data because of your powerful brain and your precise perception of spatial energy as a martial artist. When these two factors are combined, you can obtain these precise and important data. Am I right?”
Chu Nan nodded lightly, “Yes, you’re right.”
Elkart suddenly sighed.
“I’m starting to regret not cultivating martial techniques well back then. If I had a good martial technique now, even if I only became a Void Break Martial Artist, I should be able to understand the super exciting feeling you have now. Alright, Chu Nan, I’ll make it clear. Our Chamber of Commerce needs a special talent like you to help us study the teleportation door and… something more.”
“I know that before this, the Earth Federation Branch has already sent you an invitation and you’ve participated in a portion of the research, but that’s only the cooperation invitation of the branch. Now, I’m representing the entire Noctem Chamber of Commerce to invite you to join the Chamber of Commerce and participate in the most cutting-edge and crazy research in the entire Milky Way. I guarantee you that not only can you obtain a practical return that exceeds your imagination, but you can also obtain some improvements that should be the most important to you. For example, martial techniques, or…”
Elkart pointed at his head again.
“Here.”
Chu Nan’s heart stirred and he pointed at his head.
“What does this mean?”
Elkart smiled, “Do you still remember our conversation on the way to the Declan Empire? I once told you that I had accidentally obtained a powerful brain, and it’s the same for you. In this aspect, I’m your senior. I can provide you with some very useful opinions and help you better unleash your brain. I believe you’ll be very interested.”
Chu Nan’s eyes widened slightly.
He admitted that the condition proposed by Elkart really tempted him.
