628: This is the top configuration
Moreit hadn't expected Chen Du to agree so easily.
Strictly speaking, his relationship with Chen Du wasn't exceptionally good, but it certainly wasn't bad.
However, when going to a place where death was a constant possibility, even blood brothers would settle accounts clearly.
He was going because Mo Wuyan was his father.
"Chen Du, aren't you going to negotiate terms with me?"
"That's the Floating Plate!"
Moreit proactively reminded him, having already prepared himself for a significant loss.
He hadn't expected Chen Du to simply say, "Let's go now," even though that was what he himself wanted to do.
But Chen Du's actions made him feel like he had inexplicably won the lottery, without even paying taxes.
"Those things of yours probably aren't much use to me," Chen Du said.
With his self-service card, he no longer needed any resources to a certain extent.
And to be honest, the upper echelons of the High Martial Civilization were quite cunning; those who could obtain such a card were precisely the ones who didn't need civilization resources.
Its main purpose was to cultivate their own Families, and yet, powerhouses of this Rank were incredibly difficult to conceive!
So, Chen Du could only use this card on Chen Qun.
He was destined not to stay in the Seventh Ecological Circle for long in the future, and might even die outside someday; if Chen Qun's Rank could be higher, Chen Du would feel considerably more at ease.
"I'm helping you for two reasons: first, I admire your courage, and second, I am indeed somewhat interested in the Dynasty Civilization."
"But these aren't the main points."
"The main point is, you once treated me to ten skewers of grilled squid!"
"Ah!?"
"What the hell?"
"Is that even considered a main point?"
Chen Du smiled at his words:
"If you really feel bad, just pay a little more attention to my parents and brother. I won't be staying in the Seventh Ecological Circle much in the future."
"My brother is still underage, and my parents are gradually aging. You're somewhat of a rich second-generation, a native of Liang City, and studying at Huangshan Martial Arts University. You will be staying in the Seventh Ecological Circle now and for a long time in the future."
"My request isn't much; just try to ensure they live safely and happily."
Currently, the High Martial Civilization is so short on talent that even the Family members of influential figures rarely receive 24-hour personal protection.
The only thing Chen Du could do now was to apply as many layers of protection as possible, allowing him to fight outside without any worries.
"No problem!"
"If your brother doesn't get into one of the Eight Famous Schools, I'll open a company for him in Liang City, and he can come directly to be CEO after graduation!" Moreit promised.
Chen Du had never intended to stay long in the Seventh Ecological Circle; his original plan was to go home for a meal today, then head straight to Star Island to condense his Star Mark.
Now that Moreit had encountered such a strange situation and sought him out, he naturally intended to help, and it would also help him understand the Dynasty Civilization better.
The mysteries of this Civilization were no less than those of the Great Civilization; to be honest, although Zhou Cheng had initially provided a lot of information, that information was mostly publicly known within the Dynasty Civilization.
Where was the Dynasty Civilization's headquarters? What was its goal? Who were its true creators behind the scenes? There was no clue about these truly core questions.
After coming out, Chen Du asked Moreit to wait for him outside.
"Mom, I'm leaving. I won't be staying overnight today."
Chen Du had already mentioned this departure during the previous dinner, and now he was just repeating it.
Seeing that Chen Juncai had drunk too much and was already asleep, he called Li Qingqing over, then took out a stone and handed it to her:
"This is a voice transmission stone. In terms of distance, it's a communication method that surpasses the High Martial Civilization's technological communication. It can communicate with places very far away."
"As for exactly how far, I don't know either, but it's much, much further than the Ecological Circle we're in."
Chen Du had wanted to say it surpassed the Land of Abandoned Armor Sector, but Li Qingqing wasn't a Martial Artist and wouldn't understand such things.
"This stone is a pair; the other one is on me. If you encounter anything you can't handle, you can use this to contact me."
"Absolutely do not think that it will cause me trouble or anything like that."
"However, this item has a usage threshold; it requires Rank 10 Mental Energy. You and Dad currently don't meet it, and probably won't in the future..."
"Chen Qun is also a long way from becoming a Martial Artist. If you encounter danger, just have someone from the Martial Artist Alliance use this to contact me."
Li Qingqing heard this and carefully put away the voice transmission stone like a treasure.
Then Chen Du transferred ten million to her, which he had exchanged with Qilin Martial Arts University points, now claiming it was his early graduation bonus.
This was very reasonable, and he even had an early graduation certificate.
He had expected Li Qingqing to refuse, but she accepted it directly.
"What?"
"Did you think Mom would refuse?"
Chen Du nodded.
"Chen Du, do you know?"
"Around the time you last sent a message, our Family inexplicably received many 'benefits'."
"For example, your dad once retired from the Martial Artist Ranks due to injury. He did receive a sum of compensation at the time, but it wasn't much."
"But a while ago, your dad inexplicably received a First-Class Merit, saying that the previous compensation was too little, and that they couldn't mistreat your dad, and that they needed to compensate us with interest."
"They gave 30 million all at once!"
"We were stunned at the time. If your subsequent message hadn't come, your dad and I would have thought it was compensation for your death in battle!"
Li Qingqing finished speaking, touched Chen Du's face, and smiled:
"Chen Du, Mom doesn't know what you're specifically doing, but she can guess that this isn't the treatment an ordinary person, or even a student from the three top universities, should receive."
"I don't know what happened to you in the past six months, but you truly managed to achieve that 'one person achieves Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven' kind of thing."
"You are amazing, and Mom is proud of you."
After speaking, she opened her arms and hugged Chen Du:
"With the wealth your dad and I have now, raising your brother is more than enough."
Then she looked at Chen Du seriously:
"Mom just hopes..."
Chen Du guessed what Li Qingqing was about to say and immediately raised his hand to interrupt this 'flag,' then took out the amulet she had given him before his last trip. Chen Du gave a thumbs-up and confidently said:
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm invincible."
"You will never hear bad news about me!"
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Good."
...Border City No. 14.
Chen Du led Moreit, and the two of them stepped out of the cordon (alert line).
"Is it really just the two of us?"
"I thought you'd have a team."
Chen Du could tell Moreit was a bit nervous; after all, strength was like money in a world without superpowers—only with more of it would people feel confident and self-assured.
Chen Du didn't answer, but instead asked:
"Moreit, what tier of strength do you think our two-person team represents for going to the Floating Plate?"
"What tier..."
"You're a Rank 27 Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior, and I'm a Rank 13 Martial Artist. This combination isn't even considered mid-tier; it should be sub-mid-tier."
Chen Du heard this, a hint of nonchalant smile on his face, and said with a firm tone:
"Wrong."
"It's sub-top tier!"
