Who told him to make the cards!

Liu Bai truly admired Chen Zhi's confidence.

He patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you."

Although he didn't think Chen Zhizhen could win.

"I'm going to go work out."

Chen Zhi said.

He took Lilith's words to heart.

Liu Bai just told him that the card makers might also be sent to the front lines of the mining area.

People need to learn to protect themselves.

Traditional card makers spend a lot of time honing their brushwork and structure, leaving them no time for anything else.

But he's different.

His talent gave him an exceptional learning ability, and he could complete all practical exercises within the Crown Domain.

By converting that efficiency into time, he could have more than 12 hours more than others every day. Even if he didn't become a melee mage, at least he wouldn't be able to corner even a zombie like before, which was too embarrassing.

Liu Bai watched Chen Zhi's departing figure.

"and many more."

"Ok?"

"Come often in the future."

"..."

Chen Zhi gave him a strange look and quickly left the glass room.

Liu Bai propped his head up in thought.

It seems... he forgot to add Chen Zhi as a friend again?

……

Liu Bai was afraid that once Chen Zhi had the Holy Maiden's contact information, he would forget about him as the messenger.

But in reality, his worries were completely unnecessary.

Because Chen Zhi had no intention of adding Shen Qinglian.

At least not now.

As soon as he came out of the glass room, he went straight to the physical training room.

Chen Zhi dislikes businesses.

And the presence of global corporations is ubiquitous.

They are the biggest source of capital, and the only place they can go to avoid being controlled by corporations is the Vatican.

It is foreseeable that he will have a lot of time to deal with Shen Qinglian in the future, and if he acts too hastily now, he will easily lose the initiative.

So, just bear with it a little longer.

It's best to wait for Shen Qinglian to come to him, rather than him going to Shen Qinglian.

On Hengxin Island.

Shen Qinglian, who was handling official business in her private villa, felt inexplicably irritable.

He would glance at the radio every now and then.

"What on earth is this guy doing?"

She waited for ages, but there was no text message, no phone call, and no friend request.

Is she overthinking it?

Did Chen Zhi really just want to show off his talent to Liu Bai?

The secretary knocked gently on the door, carried in a glass of decanted white wine, and replaced the empty glass on the table with it.

"Your Highness, you have been working for eight hours straight. Please take a break."

"And, Your Highness, this is the seventh cup."

"Get out. Don't bother me."

"..."

The secretary took his leave.

He wondered to himself, "Who has angered His Highness this time?"

Despite Shen Qinglian's perpetually expressionless and icy demeanor, she actually has a pretty good temper, or at least not a bad one.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done nothing when Chen Zhi offended her twice—once by falling into her arms and once by grabbing her hand.

Shen Qinglian couldn't explain why she suddenly felt so bad.

It was perfectly fine half an hour ago.

"Chen Zhi".

Chen Zhi's face appeared in Shen Qinglian's mind once again.

She picked up her phone, ready to send a text message to Chen Zhi asking why he hadn't added her.

Even if she made a mistake, there was no reason for Chen Zhi not to even greet her.

Wasn't she good enough to Chen Zhi?

Let's not even talk about tuition fees; that pen alone is worth hundreds of millions, and Chen Zhi was only at the second level at the time.

In the entire Holy Order Empire, who has ever received such treatment?

Shen Qinglian frowned.

"wrong."

As if suddenly remembering something, she quickly put down the intercom.

She was right.

Just as she had just thought, if Chen Zhi had no dissatisfaction with her and no other thoughts besides gratitude, then it would be impossible for him not to send her a message or make a phone call.

So Chen Zhi's phrase "third rank" was meant for her.

He was demonstrating his own value.

The man guessed that she needed him, and he needed her too, so he used this method to negotiate with her, hoping to wait for her to come to him first, thereby bridging some of the class gap and giving him more say in her eyes in the future.

"Is that so, Chen Zhi?"

"You really have quite an appetite."

Although Shen Qinglian's tone was cold, her brows suddenly relaxed.

After figuring this out, she stopped being angry.

Shen Qinglian wasn't afraid that Chen Zhi wanted more from her; she was only afraid that Chen Zhi had no desires whatsoever.

There is demand, which is a good thing.

She could give Chen Zhi everything.

Money, fame, women, power.

Even herself.

After all, Chen Zhi's personality and appearance were quite to her liking.

At least for now, she doesn't mind having a relationship with Chen Zhi beyond just working together.

But she wanted Chen Zhi to retrieve all of the above himself.

Shen Qinglian picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.

A faint blush graced her delicate, flawless face.

The intercom on the table displayed Chen Zhi's business card. Shen Qinglian looked at the two words "Chen Zhi" and her eyes flickered.

"You like pulling and tugging?"

"I'll accompany you."

"Ahh~"

Chen Zhi sneezed as he came out of the physical training hall.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that Old Zhou is thinking about him?"

I wonder how the Blackstone mining area is being renovated?

Once the card array is repaired, Lin Yu will most likely visit Lao Zhou at the mining area. If he has time, he can go with her and give Lao Zhou a few cards.
