The boy nodded and pointed at the top of the mountain, "The human resources department is at the top of the mountain. You can go there by following the path."
Ye Chen looked in that direction and saw a towering mountain peak in the distance. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the peak could not be seen. He looked for a while before he withdrew his gaze. He nodded and said, "Thank you." Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time — —
On the winding mountain path, several figures walked down slowly. The leader was a man in black clothes. His face was sharp and his face was sharp. Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of purple eyes flashed with cold electricity. He walked toward the foot of the mountain with an arrogant expression. Behind him were two figures. One was an old man with a crooked body and the other was a young man with a big head and a short body.
The man in black walked down the stone steps and suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and saw Ye Chen and the boy beside the door.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up Ye Chen for a moment. Suddenly, two beams of light burst out from his eyes as he sneered, "So this is the legendary genius!"
The young man with a big head and the old man behind him stopped and opened their eyes. They saw Ye Chen and their eyes were filled with shock.
"This is the man who killed Purple Lightning in the real arena battle!"
"It is him!"
"Look at him. Did he just come to the Supreme Grade Genius Hall today?"
The two of them looked at Ye Chen in fear, their serious eyes filled with dread.
Ye Chen glanced at the three of them and frowned. He waved his hand at Mi Qi and walked toward the three of them.
Step by step, he walked closer …
The three of them looked at the approaching Ye Chen, and for some reason, they suddenly felt nervous. The black-clothed man suddenly thought of something and frowned. He coughed lightly, puffed out his chest, and looked at Ye Chen proudly.
Seeing Ye Chen slowly approaching, the three of them gradually came back to their senses. When they thought of their identities, their expressions regained their composure, and they stood there calmly, their bodies like pine trees.
Ye Chen's expression was indifferent. He brushed past the three of them and walked towards the stone steps behind them.
Only after Ye Chen left did the three of them come back to their senses. The black-clothed man let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back were drenched in sweat. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Brother Long!"
The stooped old man looked at the black-clothed man, but he seemed to be a few generations younger than him. He said in bewilderment, "Is this person really from the First Class Genius Hall?
Why did I feel like my entire soul was trembling when he passed by me? It was as if he was a ferocious beast. What a strong baleful aura! "
"I also felt the same." The big-headed youth said in a daze.
The black-clothed man's expression was solemn. He clenched his fists, and his palms were covered in cold sweat. He said in a deep voice, "Don't provoke this person in the future. He can kill Violet Lightning in a real arena battle, so he must have some ability. Don't underestimate him!"
"Yes!"
"I know."
The stooped old man and the big-headed youth responded one after another.
Ye Chen left the foot of the mountain and walked straight up the winding mountain path. Not long after, he arrived at the mountainside. There was a large building here, and there was a large square. Beside the large square were several forests, and there were several small squares built here.
On the square, there were people strolling freely. Some were holding zithers, sitting at the edge of the sunny square, leaning against the stone pillars, playing melancholy tunes. Some were lying on the grass, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, lost in thought.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed as he secretly paid attention to it. He discovered that the atmosphere in the Top Grade Genius Hall was completely different from the Top Grade Genius Hall and the Top Grade Genius Hall.
This place was filled with a kind of undisciplined and leisurely atmosphere, as if a large number of people lived here with nothing to do.
It was unlike the Top Grade Genius Hall, where people could be seen crazily cultivating everywhere. The atmosphere was fiery and berserk, causing people to be shocked by the passion inside.
Ye Chen observed for a while, and had some enlightenment in his heart, "When a secret manual reaches a certain level, what is needed is not training, but comprehension!
Ten years of bitter training is not as good as an epiphany! "
Thinking of this, Ye Chen glanced at the people in the square, then retracted his gaze and walked up the mountain path. Soon, he climbed over the rocks and arrived at the top of the mountain. Here, clouds and mist lingered, and the air on the mountain path was fresh, filled with the fragrance of the mountain breeze and flowers. On the square at the top of the mountain, white jade was paved, and it was vast and vast, as if it was mixed with the blue sky.
There were only about seven or eight buildings here. Compared to the layers of buildings on the mountainside, it was a little sparse. However, every building was built in a majestic manner, grand and unrestrained manner. The bejeweled pavilions were ingenious and heavenly craftsmen.
Ye Chen looked over and immediately discovered a manor behind the buildings.
This manor was surrounded by platinum walls, and it was faintly discernible inside. There were four or five towering villas with a unique style.
Ye Chen looked around for a while, muttered to himself, and then walked over. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the manor's wall. He saw seven or eight guards, both men and women, standing there. They wore exquisite armor and steel helmets, and held spears in their hands. Beside these people, there were more than ten mechanical warriors squatting.
"Stop!"
A mechanical warrior detected Ye Chen's biothermal reaction and immediately walked over. With a step, it blocked Ye Chen's path. Its entire body was silver, and just the height of its thigh was comparable to Ye Chen's height.
Ye Chen flipped his palm and took out the Genius Medal.
The mechanical warrior's eyes swept over with a beam of red light, which landed on the Genius Medal. It paused for a moment, then retracted and moved aside. "Please come in."
Ye Chen put away the medal and walked into the manor. He saw that the manor's lawn was luxuriant, and the hills were undulating. In the distance, there were a few unique villas.
He frowned slightly and asked a beautiful maid beside the door, "Where is the human resources department?"
The maid had a respectful expression and said, "Sir, the human resources department is in the second villa over there." As she spoke, she pointed to a villa not far away.
Ye Chen looked in the direction of the finger and nodded slightly. He waved his hand and walked towards the villa of the human resources department. Soon, he arrived at the door of the villa and walked directly into the hall. The hall was empty and cold, without a single person. There was only a counter inside, and behind it was an office. An old man in a checkered shirt was lying on the table inside.
Ye Chen walked over and knocked on the table.
"Hmm?"
The old man in the checkered shirt raised his head in a daze. He groped around the table and found a pair of glasses. After putting them on, he looked at Ye Chen for a while and asked in a daze, "Who are you?"
Ye Chen flipped his palm and threw the Genius Medal on the table. "I'm new here and need to exchange for a Genius Medal. Also, I need to exchange for a virtual system chip."
The old man in the checkered shirt pushed up his glasses and reached out to pick up the medal on the table. He looked at it carefully and then raised his head to look at Ye Chen's appearance. He suddenly recalled something and said in realization, "So you're that Ye Chen who came recently, the Elite Genius Hall member who killed Purple Lightning!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
"Tsk tsk …" The old man in the checkered shirt sighed and then opened the metal box under the table in front of him. There were 18 passwords on the outside of the box. It required 16 different languages, words, numbers, and so on before the box could be opened.
Inside the metal box, there were some purple medals hanging on the inner wall. The edges were burning flames and the carvings were beautiful and exquisite.
He casually picked one up and threw it to Ye Chen. He smiled and said, "This is yours. Take good care of it. If you lose it, remember to report it."
Ye Chen reached out to take it. He saw a fiery lotus carved in the middle of the purple medal. Nine leaves spread out in all directions, and in the middle was a floating ball of white flame.
"This is the Elite Genius Hall's virtual system chip."
The old man took out a fingernail-sized, square-shaped chip from the bottom layer of the metal box. It was transparent and beautiful like a crystal. After he picked it up and glanced at it, he tossed it to Ye Chen.
After receiving the item, Ye Chen didn't say anything and directly left the Human Resources Department's hall. According to the system notification on the medal, the residence was in building number 18 on the mountainside.
After Ye Chen came out of the manor, he walked past the square and prepared to walk down the hillside. At this moment, in a building next to him, the door suddenly opened. A purple-clothed youth walked out. He was tall and slender, and his hair was combed in a natural and unrestrained manner. His face revealed a bit of evil, and the corners of his mouth carried a trace of frivolous evil.
The purple-clothed young man stretched his back and saw Ye Chen. He exclaimed in surprise and looked at him carefully.
"This face … is so familiar. It's, it's … ah!
It's that kid! "
Suddenly, he thought of something. He clapped his hands together and frowned. His figure flickered, and no one could see how he moved. He appeared in front of Ye Chen as if he had teleported and shouted, "Stop right there!"
Ye Chen saw the purple-clothed youth coming like a cool breeze. He frowned and said, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know!"
The purple-clothed youth looked down at Ye Chen and said proudly, "I didn't expect you to have the guts to come to the Supreme Grade Genius Hall. Humph!
Today, I hereby issue an order to challenge you! "
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Crazy!"
The purple-clothed youth sneered and said, "You showed off your power in the Supreme Grade Genius Hall and killed our Supreme Grade Genius Hall's Purple Lightning. This is trampling on the dignity of our Supreme Grade Genius Hall!
Moreover, long ago, the Seventh Princess ordered us to teach a person called Ye Chen a lesson. That person is you, right? It's just that we didn't expect that the little ant that we were too lazy to make a move on could reach this step. However, you have no future. "
…
I've had a fever for the past two days, and my head has been a bit dizzy. It's very difficult to think. I'll make up for it tomorrow. Brothers, please forgive me. Old Gu thanks you.
