170: Treatment of top players

Chapter 170: The Treatment of Top Players

Meanwhile, Wu Xian was with Vice President Huang, who was trying to subtly inquire about the mysterious contribution behind the special pass.

Given his status in the Alliance, he naturally understood how valuable this contribution was.

If he could learn the secret behind it first, it might help him in his future bid for the President's seat.

However, Wu Xian, though young, was actually "old and cunning"; his words were watertight, and Vice President Huang couldn't extract any useful information.

Seeing this, Vice President Huang could only give up in frustration.

It seemed he could only pin his hopes on his precious daughter.

Ding-a-ling... Shifu-jie's call was like a savior; Wu Xian eagerly answered and explained the current situation.

Soon after, Xue Zhengying and Xue Lingling, the siblings, arrived at the Alliance.

"Oh~ isn't this Old Huang?" Xue Zhengying scrutinized Vice President Huang in surprise, "After more than ten years, you've become a Vice President?"

"You are..." Vice President Huang was startled and uncertain, for a moment thinking he was hallucinating, "You, you, you... this, this, this... weren't you dead?"

Vice President Huang's expression was as if he had seen a ghost; he rubbed his eyes vigorously, confirming he wasn't mistaken.

What was even more unbelievable was that nearly twenty years had passed, yet Xue Zhengying still looked as young as he did back then.

"I was lucky to survive."

Xue Zhengying recounted the story he had fabricated beforehand, leaving Vice President Huang stunned.

Vice President Huang was half-skeptical, but Xue Zhengying standing alive before him forced him to believe, "To have such a bizarre thing happen, it truly is..."

"Though times have changed, being alive is better than anything," Xue Zhengying sighed.

It took a while for Vice President Huang to calm down; he carefully observed the person in front of him, and the fear of being dominated by Xue Zhengying all those years ago resurfaced in his heart, "For my virtuous brother to return is truly a blessing for our Tianfeng Province~!"

Then, suddenly remembering something, he excitedly said, "Speaking of which, after all these years of accumulating experience, I've finally conceived a few decent gold scrolls. I wonder if my virtuous brother is interested?"

One could only say he was indeed the Genius Spirit Master of the past.

Even after many years, he could still make an experienced Scroll Master like Vice President Huang want to recruit him.

"Virtuous brother, don't worry, the treatment will definitely be top-notch," Vice President Huang's gaze was fervent.

There was no other way; only those who had personally experienced that period could truly understand Xue Zhengying's power and terror.

Almost any type of scroll could be used by Xue Zhengying in creative ways.

What was even more outrageous was that he could even guide a Scroll Master's understanding of divine scroll Law.

Yes, you heard correctly.

After Xue Zhengying achieved Soul resonance with a scroll, his perception of the Law power behind the scroll could even surpass that of the original Scroll Master.

Normally, authors teach players how to play a game, but with Xue Zhengying, it became the player teaching the author how to adjust the game.

Vice President Huang only learned this many years later when reminiscing with a certain Scroll Master.

Therefore, Xue Zhengying's allure to him was not just an excellent follower or player, but a Treasure Trove boy who could help him improve and optimize his scroll ideas.

Facing Vice President Huang's enthusiastic recruitment, Xue Zhengying shook his head and smiled, "Now that my younger sister has become a Scroll Master, I won't consider anything else."

"That's not a conflict," Vice President Huang said eagerly, "As long as my virtuous brother can use my scrolls in his spare time, that's enough."

"Alright," Xue Zhengying chuckled, "Consider it helping an old friend."

Upon hearing this, Vice President Huang was as excited as a child; he immediately pulled out the Gold Scroll masterpiece he had painstakingly created over the years, solemnly presenting it with both hands, "This scroll is called [Ocean-Shaking Behemoth]. Please, virtuous brother, give me your guidance."

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling stared at the gold-bordered scroll, stunned in astonishment.

That's right, this was actually a gold-bordered authorized original!

One must know that a Scroll Master's authorized original is usually only passed down to Family descendants or disciples.

"Isn't that a bit much?" Xue Zhengying said, taken aback.

"Eh~ Virtuous brother, what kind of person are you? How could I not know?" Vice President Huang said righteously.

He wasn't foolish; for a Heaven-Defying user like Xue Zhengying, giving him an authorized original would definitely yield better results.

He was still hoping Xue Zhengying could help him advance further.

Xue Zhengying playfully took the gold scroll, "I can't just take it for free, can I?"

"Hm!" Vice President Huang looked as if he was chiding Xue Zhengying for being a stranger, "Talking about money with me, you're looking down on me."

Xue Zhengying was exasperated.

On the other hand, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling, who were beside them, were clearly very shocked.

Although they had heard that some top-tier star players could enjoy such treatment, it was their first time seeing it with their own eyes.

The key was that Xue Zhengying wasn't even a star player right now!

"Oh dear, oh dear, look at me, I was so excited I almost forgot about the main business," Vice President Huang reproached himself, "Today, I'll be the host. Virtuous brother, you must give me Face. I'll have someone arrange it right away."

Vice President Huang was undoubtedly genuinely happy.

First, he met a young man like Wu Xian, who held a special pass, and then he met the "resurrected" Xue Zhengying.

Today was undoubtedly his lucky day.

Afterward, Xue Zhengying and Vice President Huang exchanged pleasantries and reminisced.

Wu Xian, on his side, inquired about the main business with Xue Lingling, "How's the matter with Second Brother going?"

"It's going quite smoothly," Xue Lingling nodded and smiled, "It's quite a coincidence; the current head of the Provincial Alliance happens to be Second Brother's old rival from his time, and he's very welcoming of Second Brother returning to the arena.

However, directly reactivating his former Gold-tier player status would definitely not be in line with the rules, but his player status has already been reactivated, and he can be re-enrolled into our Club later."

Wu Xian understood; this was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.

After all, having not appeared in the arena for over ten years, according to the Alliance's rules, his player status would definitely be revoked.

Now, reactivating Xue Zhengying's player status, which was equivalent to dropping from a Gold-tier player to a rookie player status, was already showing him a lot of Face.

Soon after, a glamorous, graceful, and fashionable young woman walked in.

"Dad~ I'm here," Huang Lili's Face was full of smiles, but her eyes held a deep resentment; her gaze fell on Xue Zhengying and Wu Xian in the room, and she looked puzzled: "Which handsome young man were you talking about?"

"My daughter~ my daughter," Vice President Huang quickly introduced her to Xue Zhengying, "Come~ girl, say Uncle Xue."

"..."

Huang Lili's eyes showed a bit of confusion, but she still respectfully called out, "Uncle Xue."

That address of "uncle" truly made Xue Zhengying a bit stiff, as his mindset was still stuck eighteen years ago, in his prime.

"This is Little Wu, the most outstanding Genius Scroll Master from Yaoyang City. It's his first time here, so take him around our provincial capital and show him a good time. Don't neglect him, understand?" Vice President Huang reminded her sternly, "Bring him home directly tonight for dinner together."

"Got it," Huang Lili replied grumpily, then looked at Wu Xian teasingly, "Shall we go~ handsome?"

"Go on, my good disciple, I won't meddle in you young people's affairs," Xue Lingling cast a mischievous smile at Wu Xian, adopting an old-fashioned demeanor.

Wu Xian reluctantly got up and left with Huang Lili.

He could vaguely hear Vice President Huang complaining to the Xue Family siblings about his daughter, "My daughter is good in every way, but her personality is too stubborn. She doesn't even look at so many excellent scrolls of mine, only liking those flashy and impractical scrolls..."

"It's normal for young girls to like pretty scrolls," Xue Lingling teased.

Although she herself had always liked spooky things.
