Chapter 440: Making Comparisons Is Really Infuriating
After coming out of seclusion, the first thing Chu Yunfan did was contact Gao Hongzhi.
Over the last two weeks, Gao Hongzhi had been busy handling matters regarding the Imperial Palace.
“We’ve established our organization, but we still lack a base. Although the university has set aside a public base for us, if we don’t want to be looked down upon, it’s best if we were to rent a base that would belong to us,” Gao Hongzhi said, his figure projected on the other end of the phone.
“Where do we find such a place?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“I’ve asked around. Federation University has a large area of vacant land outside of the university. These vacant lands are specially rented and sold to us student organizations to be used as bases. We will have water and electricity. The infrastructure of those places is relatively complete. There are even a lot of former student organizations that have given up on their base. We just need to clean it up a little and we can get things going. However, we need more points to rent these bases,” Gao Hongzhi said. Over the last two weeks, he had been busy figuring out these things. He knew that it would be difficult for him to help Chu Yunfan in battle and thus could only play a part in logistical matters.
Gao Hongzhi’s father owned a company, and it was quite influential. He had learned about business management since he was young, so he handled such matters with ease. He had come to realize that he was not really interested in battle matters. On the contrary, managing a company was what he liked more.
“After we have a base, we can build up our reputation so that people won’t think that we’re some throwaway organization.”
“Good job. I’ll leave these things to you. I’ll transfer 100 million points to you later. You can use it however you see fit. If it’s not enough, come ask me for more,” Chu Yunfan said generously.

“100 million? D*mn, where did you get so many points? Did you rob a bank?” Gao Hongzhi sucked in a breath of cold air. 100 million points were equivalent to 100 million yuan. This was definitely an astronomical figure for freshmen like them. Of course, he was shocked.
“Why don’t you try robbing a bank and see if you can get these points? Of course, I didn’t rob a bank!” Chu Yunfan rolled his eyes. “I helped my instructor win a bet and he gave me some points in return.”
“D*mn, what did you help him with? You managed to get so many points,” Gao Hongzhi said, “It’s easy to do whatever you want if you have points. You should have said earlier that you have so many points. With so many points, why are you worried about not being able to recruit people?
“When the time comes, I will draft out the rankings for members of the Imperial Palace. The members will be able to receive a certain amount of points from us every month as a supplement according to their ranks.
“Of course, they will have to complete the missions that we a.s.sign to them. With the points acc.u.mulated, the Imperial Palace will surely develop further. You don’t have to trouble yourself with these matters. Just let me handle it. Your main mission is to quickly increase your strength. You’re the palace master. The stronger you are, the easier it’ll be for the Imperial Palace to develop. If you’re weak, it doesn’t matter how many points we have.”
......
Gao Hongzhi understood the nature of student organizations at Federation University. Simply put, the organization’s existence relied on Chu Yunfan. The more tyrannical Chu Yunfan was, the more powerful the Imperial Palace would be, and the more awe-inspiring it would be.
“I understand. In that case, I’ll leave these matters to you.” Chu Yunfan nodded and sighed internally. Having a good brother was indeed a blessing.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfan began to contact his team members.
The first one was Sha Peng.
“Where are you guys? Are you guys with Mr. Jeang?” Chu Yunfan asked straightforwardly.
“No, we all went to cultivate separately. Mr. Jeang is also busy,” Sha Peng said as he shook his head.
Chu Yunfan immediately understood. Although Jeang Yuanbin was guiding them, it was impossible for him to lead them all the time. After all, Jeang Yuanbin had to attend his own training.
Since Jeang Yuanbin was already at the peak of the Innate Stage, he would surely want to break through to the Innate Stage. Although he was already of high status within Federation University, if he could take it one step further and obtain divine abilities, n.o.body in Federation University—save for the chancellor, Zhang Wuji—would be able to contend with him.
“Oh, Captain Chu, have you come out of seclusion?” Sha Peng asked when he saw that Chu Yunfan’s background was no longer the inside of the training room.
Over the last two weeks, Sha Peng had called Chu Yunfan a few times, but it was obvious that Chu Yunfan was training like crazy.
Never having seen anything like it, Sha Peng had an epiphany. Although Chu Yunfan’s talent seemed to be very shocking, if he did not have a hard-working cultivation spirit, he would have never reached his current level.
“Yeah, I just came out. I wanted to look for Mr. Jeang to see if he had any special training planned. I didn’t expect him to be busy,” Chu Yunfan said.
On the other end of the phone, Sha Peng felt a trickle of cold sweat running down his forehead. Chu Yunfan had come out from his seclusion to look for their instructor to undergo special training. How had Chu Yunfan not ascended to the Heavens and stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun when he was so crazily hard-working?
A thought crossed Sha Peng’s mind. With how hard Chu Yunfan was working on his cultivation, he might really be able to defeat Jiang Lingxiao in the Death Arena a year from now.
“If you don’t have anything to do, would you like to come with us?” Sha Peng extended an invitation.
“Are you with our teammates?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“No, no. I’m with my sister and a few of her cla.s.smates. We’re planning to go into the wilderness and hunt down the members of the Monster Cult. Captain Chu, you’ve been in seclusion for a while, so you probably don’t know this yet. Federation University has issued a new order. For the next half a year, the reward for capturing members of the cult will be doubled. In other words, capturing one member is equivalent to two,” Sha Peng said, following which, he revealed an envious expression.
“We aren’t like you who managed to help Mr. Jeang win one million points and obtained half of the spoils. At Federation University, it’s difficult to move an inch without points. Over the past few months, the points I acc.u.mulated have yet to touch 500,000. It’s simply not enough. Getting new secret manuals, replacement of weapons, upkeep, and the exchange of knowledge all require points.”
Sha Peng looked at Chu Yunfan with an expression filled with envy. One would not know how expensive rice and oil were without being in charge. Regular money was unless within Federation University. This forced everyone, even the richest kid, to struggle and earn their own points.
And Chu Yunfan had won 500 million points in one fell swoop. Even Sha Peng had not earned 500,000 points over a few months. It was truly infuriating to compare people!
