Chapter 769 Responsibility and Value

"Of course, this is done in your name."

There is already a significant gap in status between professionals and those in lifestyle professions.

Professionals with combat capabilities are crucial to the survival of nations and planets, which creates a class gap between them and those in other professions.

Even without a certain lifestyle-related professional, life can still go on.

In this technologically advanced age, everyday professionals can be completely replaced by machines, and are not on the same level as high-level professionals who have the ability to move mountains and fill seas.

Lin Yi's several major victories have given Blue Star's professionals more opportunities to improve their strength and take their abilities to the next level, making the status gap between the two classes increasingly obvious.

But people in livelihood-related professions are people too.

Without a large population base, where would the high birth rate come from, and where would so many highly skilled professionals come from?

Putting aside other examples, take Lin Yi as an example. His parents are ordinary people in the daily life industry, but Lin Yi has become the number one on Blue Star by virtue of his superior strength.

While all the professionals were focused on improving their overall strength, Zhou Heyu was the only one who noticed this, even Boss Xu overlooked it.

"The opening of equipment trading will have a significant impact on Blue Star. By charging high transaction fees, some resources will flow back to the hands of life-skilled professionals, improving their happiness and reducing class differences and conflicts. It will also increase Blue Star's birth rate. With a higher birth rate, the number of professionals will increase, right?"

"Perhaps, the second Lin Yi has already started to grow up."

Zhou Heyu's words left Lin Yi speechless.

As a time traveler, he should have seen more than Zhou Heyu, but unfortunately, he was so engrossed in improving his own strength to protect the closed loop of Blue Star that he completely ignored the many shortcomings that Blue Star still had.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

The reason this highly respected veteran war god holds such a position on Earth is not because of his extensive network of connections!
"Mr. Zhou, I am ashamed."

In the holographic projection, Zhou Heyu burst into laughter, his eyes filled with admiration for Lin Yi.

"What are you saying, child? You haven't done enough for Blue Star. Everyone has their own value and their own responsibilities. What you need to do is stand up when Blue Star faces a crisis. I don't have that ability then."

Nangong Ling walked behind Lin Yi and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

She strongly agreed with what Mr. Zhou said.

No one is perfect.

Even though Lin Yi is the chosen one, he cannot consider everything.

It's already quite an achievement to have reached this point.

"Old Zhou is right. Everyone has their own unique value. You have done more than enough, junior."

"Besides, the proposal for free trade of equipment was approved only because the Blue Star Professional Alliance did it out of respect for you."

Before them, Sun Dachuan and Nangong Ling were both key trainees of the Blue Star Professionals Alliance.

After the free trading of equipment was allowed, the Blue Star Professional Alliance commissioned Zhou Heyu to collect a complete set of epic equipment for the two of them as transitional gear.

Of course, this matter is currently confidential.

This practice of catering to different professions will inevitably cause resentment among other professionals.

Moreover, these two sets of equipment are currently being enhanced within the Divine Forging Bureau.

After saying all that, Zhou Heyu turned his gaze to Lin Yi.

“Young friend Lin Yi, in your spare time you can consider more constructive solutions. The stronger Blue Star becomes, the more we can help you. You are not fighting alone; we are behind you.”

Lin Yi nodded and agreed.

Judging from the current progress, it's only a matter of time before Lin Yi clears all the dungeons. As for the fact that the equipment drop rate is lower than that of ordinary War Gods, Lin Yi didn't take it to heart.

If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.

If you're unlucky at first, you'll be lucky later.

The Realm of Form (Form Realm)

On a small, picturesque planet, like a paradise on earth, two people are playing chess in a pavilion in the middle of a lake.

To the west of the pavilion, a tall, handsome white-haired man was playing with a black chess piece.

"What, out of ideas? If you've run out of options, just admit defeat and start the next round."

The situation on the chessboard was one-sided, with the white-haired man's black pieces forcing the burly man's white pieces into a retreat.

"As expected, you guys are the best at playing with your stuff."

The burly man, though urged on, remained unhurried, a calm smile still on his face, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome of the match.

After thinking for a while, the burly man made a move.

The seemingly unmarked landing point of this move directly reversed the situation, putting the white-haired man in a difficult position.

The white-haired man, sensing the deeper meaning behind it, instantly turned cold with a confident expression.

"Ha, Ares, what brings you here to see me today?"

"If you say you're here to play this game of chess with me, I absolutely don't believe you."

After saying that, he swung out an iron folding fan, aiming straight for the other person's forehead.

The burly man remained calm, extending his right hand and grabbing the folding fan.

"Of course not, but you don't need to get so agitated. Which of us high gods doesn't have some shady tricks up our sleeves? Sensing a method from that kid that's of the same origin as yours doesn't mean anything. There are so many planes in the Three Realms and Six Paths. It's not impossible that one of your avatars on missions was targeted by a colleague and did something detrimental to you. You don't need to get so agitated."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired man put away his folding fan, but the look of doubt on his face grew even stronger.

The two lived in vastly different planes. Why did Ares go to the trouble of crossing so many planes to find the white-haired man?

The white-haired man looked solemn. He thought and thought but couldn't find anything about himself that the other party cared about, and it seemed that he couldn't help him in any way.

"Don't doubt it. There are some things you can't do yourself, so I'll do them. I'm here only to do one thing: you won't care about the monkey's remnant soul, and that kid who gets the monkey's remnant soul is none of your business, right?"

"As long as you give me a definite answer, I can pretend I don't know that the kid's cultivation method is similar to yours."

"How about it?"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired man smiled.

"Go ahead. If you can take down that monkey, it might greatly increase the strength of your faction. Then you can replace that old man's position. I won't stop you from doing what you want."

After saying that, the white-haired man made a decisive move, ending the game of chess.

Seeing the white-haired man also find the point to turn the tide of battle and deliver a fatal blow, Ares couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

"Indeed, we still have to rely on you in this regard."

"Then I won't stay any longer. I hope you'll take my good wishes and succeed soon. If I succeed in replacing that old codger, I will remember your kindness. When it matters, our faction will support you. So, I'll take my leave now."

After Ares finished speaking, the space in front of him opened up on its own, forming a spatial passage.

Ares then stepped into the spatial passage and disappeared.
