After Spicer and the others left, the others also left. They didn't continue to cause trouble for Zi Chen.
Naturally, they were somewhat unwilling to leave.
However, they gave up just like that.
Of course, the main reason was that the Six Strength State chose to give up. The others didn't have the ability to pursue the matter.
Zi Chen returned with Ape Bert. On the way back, he greeted Butterball and Kant.
They clearly despised him, but they didn't dare to do anything. Under the disdainful gazes of their friends, they pretended not to see him.
Marcus was very excited. The Five Strength State was comparable to the Six Strength State. Zi Chen had created another miracle.
After returning to the city, Zi Chen didn't go back immediately. Instead, he followed Ape Bert back to his residence.
After returning to his residence, Ape Bert waved his hand and motioned for Marcus to wait outside. He and Zi Chen clearly had something to talk about.
Marcus closed the door and left. Ape Bert smiled and said, "Sit."
Zi Chen shook his head. "What orders do you have for me, sir?"
Ape Bert said, "Of course not. Your current combat strength is comparable to the Six Strength State. I'm very surprised to hear that.
This means that you and I are on equal footing. "
Zi Chen said, "You flatter me, sir. I'm just relying on external objects. It's not true ability."
"Zi Chen, don't belittle yourself. If you're capable, then you're capable."
Ape Bert changed the topic and said, "However, ability isn't the only way to survive in Dharma Breaker City.
Take me for example. I've been in the Six Strength State for many years and my combat strength isn't bad, but what can I do?
I have Lord Eden above me. I don't dare to disobey him at all. "
Zi Chen nodded.
"Just like before, those Dharma Breakers were fearless, but when I mentioned Lord Eden's name, you see, everyone was scared and retreated."
Ape Bert smiled and said, "So, in this place, although ability is important, power and relationships can't be ignored."
"You're right, sir," Zi Chen immediately cupped his fists and said, "Zi Chen has learned something. I'll remember it."
Ape Burt continued, "Last time I went to see Lord Eden, I discovered that he has a fondness for some strange things."
Zi Chen remained silent.
"Sometimes, big shots are like this. Their tempers are unpredictable. They like one thing today and another tomorrow.
Of course, other than liking, it was also the same for people. Sometimes, if it felt that you were not bad, it would naturally protect you and even reward you with many resources, allowing you to reach an unimaginable realm.
But sometimes, if you don't like them, then they can only be cast aside. It's hard to say whether they'll live or die. "
Zi Chen lowered his head and remained silent.
But at this moment, he recalled Spicer's meaningful expression when he left.
Could it be that the other party had already guessed it?
"Living here, it's not a big deal to lose some combat power.
As long as he had the protection of his master, there would be no danger to his life.
But without Milord's protection, even if they have a body full of battle strength, they will still be in a precarious situation. "
Looking at Zi Chen, who was still silent, Ape Burt smiled and said, "I'm just saying casually. Just treat it as a casual chat. Zi Chen, don't think too much. Alright, you can go back first.
By the way, call Marcus over. I have something to tell him. "
Zi Chen went out, and Marcus walked in.
Zi Chen didn't stay in this mansion. He walked straight out of the mansion and waited for Marcus at the door.
At this moment, he really couldn't calm down.
None of them were good people!
Everyone had their own agenda and was selfish!
A moment later, Marcus walked out.
Zi Chen saw that his expression wasn't too good, but he didn't ask much.
The two of them walked towards the residence. When they were about to reach the residence, Marcus finally couldn't help but ask, "What did Milord say to you?"
"Nothing."
Zi Chen naturally understood what Ape Burt meant, but he pretended not to know.
In this place, was it useless to have strong combat power?
Was it useful to rely on Milord?
What a joke! If that was really the case, he would've been dead long ago!
Marcus said, "Milord said that in order to prevent similar dangers from happening again, you shouldn't go out. Stay in the city."
"Alright."
Zi Chen nodded.
"I'm very surprised that Milord was willing to help this time."
Marcus smiled and said, "It seems that Milord really treats you as one of his own. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so considerate of you."
Zi Chen nodded and didn't explain.
After returning to his residence, Zi Chen sat cross-legged. He didn't refine the energy. This time, he only obtained 40 streams of pure energy.
Before he was sure of Ape Burt's true intentions, he had to use the energy sparingly.
The first day was peaceful, and no one came to cause trouble.
In Pofa City, discussions about Zi Chen had already spread like wildfire.
The next day, Zi Chen walked out of his room and stood outside the door to stretch. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that someone was staring in his direction.
Zi Chen decided to walk around, and he attracted a lot of attention along the way.
He found Kant again, and when the latter saw him, it was as if he had eaten a rat. "Why are you here again?"
"I'm here to see you."
Zi Chen's answer made Kant curl his lips. "I'm telling you, don't even think about it this time. No one will take you out again!
No one will take you out! "
Zi Chen looked at Kant. "What do you know?"
Kant shook his head. "I don't know, but if you want to go out, it's obviously impossible."
Seeing Zi Chen frown slightly, Butterball and Kant didn't know why, but they felt some compassion in their hearts. They suddenly said, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Save what you can."
Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. He wasn't stupid and understood Kant's true intentions.
"Thanks."
Seeing Butterball's determined expression, Zi Chen turned and left. This time, he went straight out of the city.
Butterball and Kant saw this and their expressions changed, but they didn't say anything.
Halfway through, two Four Strength Realm spirit casters appeared and stopped Zi Chen. They indifferently told him not to go out.
This was the rule!
In Pofa City, spirit casters had to follow many rules, but Spell Breakers had it slightly better.
Zi Chen understood Ape Bert's intentions. He didn't say anything and went to the Hall of Spirit Spells.
With Zi Chen's arrival, many people looked at him strangely. Then, they saw Zi Chen take out two strands of pure energy and exchange them for two hundred strands of ordinary energy.
All this time, they had only seen people exchanging pure energy, but they had never seen anyone exchanging pure energy for magic power. This attracted a lot of attention.
Zi Chen took these strands of energy and went back.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to refine pure energy for a long time. These ordinary strands of energy could only sustain his basic livelihood.
As for how long this situation would last, Zi Chen wasn't sure.
However, according to the rules, it wouldn't last more than a month. This was because he had to do a mission every month.
Therefore, Zi Chen had been waiting to see what Ape Bert's intentions were.
A month later, Marcus came and gave Zi Chen a mission. He was to bring a basket of crystals to the Hall of Spirit Spells.
