Chapter 607: Chapter 608: New World Hometown Association

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up instantly.

He had previously heard people talking about guest officials and knew that they were incredible positions.

Not only did they offer free food and accommodation, but they also provided a high salary and even access to the resources needed for cultivation.

These were all things Lin Zhen was currently lacking, so he quickly walked over.

The sign also said, “The Mansion recruits guest officials, all candidates at the Star System Stage and higher are welcome to register. The registration fee is one coin. Those who pass the assessment can join. Registration location: Lianyunge Restaurant!”

Lin Zhen turned his head and looked at a towering building in the distance, which matched the pattern on the sign.

“This is the place. Luckily, I have one coin, otherwise, I would really have to sell my things for a few coins.”

When Lin Zhen arrived in the Original World, he knew that Cosmic Crystals and spaceships were worthless. Besides, most of his Cosmic Crystals were stored in cards, and it would be difficult to withdraw them since they were not considered currency in the Original World.

Quickly turning around and walking to Lianyunge Restaurant, Lin Zhen reached the entrance after ten minutes.

There was already a long queue, with only two types of lines: one for those at the Star System Stage and another for those at the Star Domain Stage.

There were more people at the Star System Stage, but only a few at the Star Domain Stage. After all, as martial artists at the Star Domain Stage, they were considered highly regarded in the Original World. Few would voluntarily become guest officials.

If a martial artist at the Star Domain Stage became a guest official, it would usually be someone with high status, such as the Crown Prince’s coachman, who would double as a bodyguard.

The queue for the Star System Stage was about a hundred meters long, and it took Lin Zhen an hour to reach the front of the line.

“What’s your name? Where are you from?”

“Lin Zhen, from the New World.” The person in charge of registration looked up at Lin Zhen with surprise. “From the New World? That’s really rare. It’s been a hundred years since anyone from the New World has come to Wood King Mansion.”

After passing through the Gate of the Original World, all martial artists went their separate ways. Moreover, as the number of people at the Heavenly Gate decreased, it was quite normal for no one to visit a mansion in a hundred years.

“Alright, I’ll register you, but you need an ID.”

“I also want to get an ID. Can you do it here?”

“Yes, we can do it here. But your nationality will be changed to Nan Liang.”

Lin Zhen nodded. For him, any nationality was the same at the moment.

“The service fee is 3,000 coins.”

Lin Zhen was stunned, “I don’t have any money.”

“Without money, it’s definitely not possible, and you can’t participate in the guest official assessment.”

“Can I use something to replace it?”

“It depends if your item is worth 3,000 coins. Many things brought by New World warriors are actually garbage in the Original World.”

Lin Zhen started taking out his things: spaceships, artifacts, relics, and Cosmic Crystals, but none of them were accepted.

Finally, out of desperation, Lin Zhen took out the top-quality Heavenly Tool long knife he had gotten from the Ling Xu World King.

“Top-quality Heavenly Tool! This is acceptable and worth about a hundred thousand coins. However, items are discounted here. We’ll buy it for eighty thousand coins, minus your ID service fee, and give you seventy-seven thousand coins.”

Lin Zhen was stunned. Although he wasn’t familiar with the purchasing power of the Original World’s currency, this was a top-quality Heavenly Tool. A World King could only have one, and even if the Original World’s items were better, this surely wasn’t garbage.

“That’s too little. This is a top-quality Heavenly Tool.”

“Hehe, I know it’s a top-quality Heavenly Tool, but Heavenly Tools are not valuable in the Original World, and we are not a shop here, so we can’t give you a full price. One hundred thousand coins is not too little, brother. Since you’re from the New World, you must be penniless. Don’t you even have money for your next meal? I advise you to sell it, otherwise, you won’t be able to register.”

Watching the other person trying to swindle him, Lin Zhen felt disgusted. He simply put away the knife, “I’ll get the ID myself and come back later.”

“Suit yourself! No one here will buy your Heavenly Tool if you don’t sell it to us.”

“I have to try to know.” Lin Zhen snorted and turned to leave the line, intending to find a place to sell some of his things, at least to get his ID first.

Not long after, a martial artist caught up to him from behind.

“Brother ahead, wait a moment.”

Lin Zhen turned around and saw a martial artist at Star Domain Level 5.

This person’s Star Power was abundant, and his strength was impressive.

“What can I do for you, sir?”

The man circled around Lin Zhen before suddenly asking, “Are you Lin Zhen?”

Lin Zhen was taken aback, “You heard me say my name just now?”

“Yes, I heard you. I heard that you’re from the New World. Are you the Lin Zhen from the New World? I mean, are you from the Fire Kirin Empire?”

“Do you know me?”

“Haha! So it is really you! I thought you looked familiar because I’m also from New World. Seven hundred years ago, when you and Ke Xiangnan were challenging the Heavenly Gate, I saw it with my own eyes through the big screen, and many people were discussing you at that moment. I didn’t expect you to escape and come to the Original World.”

“You are…?”

“Oh, my name is Ge Yunjie, and I’m from Baihai Empire. When you challenged the Heavenly Gate back then, I was just a Star System Level 8, so it’s no surprise that you don’t recognize me. But I recognize you, and you were my idol at that time!”

“It’s nice to meet you, Ge brother. What ‘idol’ or not, I’m just a newcomer now.” Lin Zhen was also very happy. Coming to the Original World from New World was very unfamiliar, and it was nice to meet a fellow townsperson.

“Hahaha! Lin brother, I should be a few years older than you, so I’ll just act as an elder for once. What happened? Did you not register just now?”

“Yes, these Original World Martial Artists want to rip me off. They only offered me 100,000 for my top-quality Heavenly Tool.”

“That’s indeed too little. A top-quality Heavenly Tool in the Original World should be worth at least 500,000. Come on, let’s go to another place. I can help you get your identity sorted out without spending any money.”

“Is there such a place?” Lin Zhen followed Ge Yunjie.

“Of course. Let me tell you, many New World Martial Artists have come here as well, and many people have challenged the Heavenly Gate. In this Wood King Mansion area alone, there are more than 100 New World Martial Artists. We have formed a Hometown Association to help each other through tough times. You should join too.”

Lin Zhen was immediately interested. If they were all New World Martial Artists, then this Hometown Association would be pretty good.

As Lin Zhen was about to follow Ge Yunjie, a voice rang out from behind: “Ge Yunjie, are you trying to meddle in other people’s business, again?”

The two turned around to see the person who had processed Lin Zhen’s registration standing behind them, looking at them with a hostile gaze.

“Mu En, this is my fellow townsperson. What’s the problem with me helping him?”

“You better think carefully, because many people from your New World Association have applied for the Guest Elder positions. Don’t give yourself trouble.”

Ge Yunjie’s face changed for a moment, then he puffed out his chest and said, “Mu En, my fellow townsperson was a genius in the New World! I advise you to open your eyes before you make a mistake.”

“Him? A genius?” Mu En disdainfully glanced at Lin Zhen. “Then, I can’t wait to see what kind of accomplishments your genius has that are worth you defending him so much. But let me just warn you, if there’s a problem with the results of your New World Association’s assessment this time, it’s your fault.”

“That’s none of your business. If one of us becomes a Guest Elder, you, Mu En, will have to bow your head and be humble.” Ge Yunjie seemed to dislike Mu En. Perhaps he was also a victim of Mu En’s greed.

“Haha! You guys, with your rotten sweet potatoes and stinky bird eggs, want to become Guest Elders? Don’t dream in broad daylight!” Mu En mocked with no restraint.

At this point, Lin Zhen looked at Ge Yunjie and asked, “Is becoming a Guest Elder a higher-status position than his?”

“Of course. A Guest Elder is an honored guest of the mansion, while they’re just servants. You can easily take care of them like stepping on an ant.”

“When does the Guest Elder assessment begin?”

“Probably in about a month.”

“When can I get my identity?”

“I’ll find a friend to help you with that, and you’ll have it right away.”

Lin Zhen nodded, then faced Mu En: “Listen carefully. I’m registering soon. I’ve reserved one of the top ten Guest Elder positions. When I succeed, you get lost!”

“Oh ho! I’m looking forward to it, newbie from the New World.”

Mu En sneered and didn’t take Lin Zhen’s threat seriously at all. He turned around and left.

“Lin brother, are you confident? The Original World is not like the New World – the Martial Artists here are abnormally strong.”

“I’m not confident at first, but if you, elder brother, are willing to help me, I think I can at least fight for the top ten.”

“That’s great! If you succeed, our Hometown Association’s reputation will skyrocket. Tell me, how can I help you?”

“Identity.”

Ge Yunjie nodded and called through the Dimensional Universe, quickly finding someone.

This person was a specialist in identity processing. In a short while, they actually got Lin Zhen a new identity.

Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe was finally reactivated and could be used within the Original World.

His identity was registered here: Lin Zhen, Nan Liang Country, Xianle County, Wood King Mansion, Dimensional Universe No. 7257347124004900743688.

Looking at this more than 20-digit number, Lin Zhen was also amazed. The population of the Original World was indeed beyond imagination.

“Elder brother, I need one more favor. I need some money. I can give you this knife.”

Ge Yunjie took the top-quality Heavenly Tool sword given to him by Lin Zhen and nodded, “No problem, let me give you one million. The extra part is a meeting gift from me. Just get that Guest Elder position, and I believe in your strength.”

Lin Zhen’s bank card was activated, and Ge Yunjie transferred one million to him.

It seems that this one million was no small amount for Ge Yunjie either—his support for Lin Zhen could really be considered great.

“Lin brother, do you want to come with me to the Hometown Association for a visit?”

“Not now. I have to register first, then I have something else to do, and we’ll meet again another day.”

After saying goodbye to Ge Yunjie, Lin Zhen went to register and then entered a local business.
