Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang scoffed, "What if I don't agree?"

"It seems you don't have the ability to refuse me. So..."

The nun nodded and then abruptly disappeared.

Zuo Chang saw nothing in front of him and quickly realized—

The Saintess of Time is a master of spatial magic.

She can fold space, disappear at any time, and appear anywhere at any time.

The general's seal I just received...

That's all!

Chapter 119 The Organizer's Last Treat

The time is forty-five hours later.

Only half an hour remains until the start of the Gift Game Black Goat.

Black goats are very special.

Its "worst" outcome is that there is only one victor, who will collect all the general's seals and become the sole general of 96511, unifying the four regions!

Such a major event, coupled with an announcement from Sky News, how could it not attract attention?

The 96511 venue was already buzzing with excitement, everyone was talking about the Black Goat, and this was especially true as the opening ceremony approached.

but--

Some insightful people believe that this is just all bark and no bite, all show and no bite!

Only if the organizer wins can a single champion be determined.

Those who can participate in this game are all outstanding individuals. Although the organizers have an advantage, it is still quite difficult to deal with everyone at the same time.

In the end, it will most likely end with the organizer's death, and 96511 will remain the same as before.

There are also rumors that the organizer's identity has already been exposed, his downfall is imminent, and the opening of the Black Goat will mark the end.

Amidst the rumors and gossip throughout the city, Zuo Chang...

Very calm.

All preparations were complete, and Captain Li successfully completed the mission. He posted a commission with the association and collected 200 kilograms of Shining Gold Bricks for less than one million yuan.

Zuo Chang rented a space in the city and produced 3,700 old gold coins in a day and a half.

Such a number results in an astonishing weight.

Fortunately, he had a portable "supply depot," otherwise he wouldn't know how he managed to bring so many gold coins in.

In addition, he never missed a single one of the "triple trials" held every four hours.

The remaining trials went smoothly; the strange "diamond emblem" didn't drop again, and all nine were gold emblems. One of them, a "mind emblem," was particularly suitable for Blood Rose.

The Blood Rose was accepted for the time being, but not immediately fused with it.

"General, as per your instructions, I have obtained some intelligence."

Zuo Chang's Residence.

Zuo Chang got plenty of rest and even took a shower.

As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he saw Blood Rose, who was already waiting in the room.

Blood Rose, holding a document, reported: "The reading club does indeed have a branch in the Post Office, and they also have offices in major cities. The one in Heavenly King City is still under preparation and has not yet been opened to the public; the Post Office branch has been operating for two years and has some reputation in the local area."

Wow.

She turned the page and introduced the staff of the reading club in the mailbox department one by one.

A day earlier, Zuo Chang had asked Blood Rose to investigate the book club.

"Cross-border organizations"

In the upgraded world, class distinctions are very clear, almost written on one's face.

The benefits, cultivation resources, and combat power of a higher-level community are inevitably superior to those of a lower-level community, and by a significant margin.

For an ordinary person, having the opportunity to immigrate to a higher community would be an extremely desirable thing.

pity……

The various communities in the upgraded world are like isolated little worlds.

Apart from the "green channels" opened by the gods and some illegal "smuggling channels," ordinary people cannot overcome the barriers between communities and can only be trapped in a cage!

Thus, "cross-border organizations" came into being.

Cross-border organizations inevitably originate from a higher-level community, and must be a major, influential organization within it, possessing the "right of recommendation" to legally and reasonably send "lower-level individuals" to the higher-level community.

They gathered adventurers who wanted to reach higher places, chanting the slogan "No talent should be buried."

Of course.

Not everyone has the opportunity to make a leap forward.

Cross-sector organizations review and evaluate the qualifications of each individual, establish assessment standards, and select those they deem suitable for promotion.

The common standard is—

Donations.

How can you show your sincerity if you don't give money? Make a big donation, donate until the organization is satisfied, and I guarantee you'll be promoted to a higher level in the community;

contribute.

If you don't work hard for the organization, how will the organization know about your extraordinary abilities?

Go and fight, shed blood; without hardship, how can there be sweetness?

Zuo Chang was exceptionally familiar with this set of business practices.

After upgrading to four digits, he immediately disbanded the "Sky City Strategy Group" because it was no longer needed.

First of all, the materials produced by Sky City are hardly to his liking; he wants something of a higher quality.

Secondly, this kind of low-level dungeon doesn't require Zuo Chang to personally take action at all.

As long as he sets up an office in the five-digit community, establishes assessment criteria and standards, "low-level adventurers" eager to change their fate through hard work will flock to him, collecting materials for Zuo Chang day and night.

As Zuo Chang's fame grew, more and more people wanted to join his community, and resources became increasingly plentiful.

As for the cost, it is almost negligible.

Leaders of lower-level communities are eager for cross-dimensional organizations to come, as these organizations are full of high-level adventurers whose combat power, if not overwhelming, is at least top-tier.

When faced with a challenge they can't overcome on their own, or when there are traitors threatening the regime, they need the help of cross-sector organizations.

If cross-sector organizations receive less, the generals of the lower-level communities not only don't see it as a good thing, but they are even uneasy.

Taking more, taking more than you can handle, is what makes everyone happy.

A "book club" is clearly such an organization.

After listening to the list of personnel, Zuo Chang asked, "Isn't the Holy Maiden here?"

Blood Rose was taken aback: "You mean... your second wife?"

"Ah."

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be one. The person in charge of the reading club's mailbox branch is a man named Yang Xin, not the saint."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chang said nothing more, but simply dressed in silence.

The probability that the "nun" we encountered earlier was not the Holy Maiden of Time is less than one percent.

Whether it's her identical appearance and personality, or her "heavenly delivery technique" of taking and giving things away, or her "teleportation technique" of disappearing into thin air, all of these are enough to prove her identity.

Zuo Chang wouldn't believe it if the Holy Maiden wasn't in 96511.

As for her not being on the list...

Zuo Chang deduced that she must have just come to 96511 on business and would be leaving in a few days.

Seeing that Zuo Chang remained silent, Blood Rose couldn't help but ask, "General, the Black Goat attack is about to begin in a little over half an hour..."

Zuo Chang looked up: "You're very nervous. You think I'll fail?"

Blood Rose instinctively wanted to deny it.

After thinking for a moment, she still said, "Of course I'm not questioning your abilities. It's just... you're only at the fifth realm now, and you have no allies. I'm worried..."

"It can only be said that the situation is slightly unfavorable, but not extremely difficult."

Zuo Chang appeared calm.

He looked at the Blood Rose and said, "Also, it's not half an hour. For me, the Black Goat has already begun."

A pure white light shone brightly, enveloping Zuo Chang.

Blood Rose was slightly taken aback, sensing the "divine power".

This is the aura of a god!

Zuo Chang was bathed in pure white light, relaxed his body, and accepted the guidance.

He looked at Blood Rose's somewhat surprised face and smiled, "The Gift Game is advantageous to the organizers. I can enter the game venue half an hour earlier. The advantage I create during this time is something Qian Wuyi can't match. As long as I use strategy and don't act rashly, even if my identity is exposed, it will be difficult for other contestants to defeat me."

This is the advantage brought by "information".

With a flash of white light, Zuo Chang disappeared from Blood Rose's sight.

Chapter 120 The Witch's Secret Medicine

The stage for the game of Gifts, Black Goat, is called Ancient Wood Castle.

In the game's backstory, Ancient Wood Castle is a demon's castle, a property of the Abyss Lord Solometi. This Abyss Lord is long dead, and Ancient Wood Castle has naturally become ownerless, occupied by monstrous creatures roaming the wilderness.

Stepping onto the mottled ancient road and pushing open the decaying door, what appeared before Zuo Chang's eyes was—

It was a huge round table.
