“Big Brother Chen! Can you please stop calling me that! I have a name! You can call me Shuang’er! That’s what my sifu calls me!” The girl was none other than Linghu Shuang.
And the people she brought along with her were the demigod Osnur and the American president.
Because these two were foreigners, they would not be allowed to board the mothership and that was why Chen Xiaobei asked Linghu Shuang to bring them here.
Luckily, Silver Plume was swarming with foreigners of all forms, shapes and sizes. So long as they kept their mouths shut as they walked the streets of the city, no one would be the wiser.
“Alright! I’ll call you Shuang’er!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Ever since the Overgrown Forest Battle, Chen Xiaobei had a good feeling about this girl who valued friendship.
“Big Bro Chen, I can bring you to the headquarters of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce! I am very familiar with Divine Cloud!” Linghu Shuang said.
“Divine Cloud?” Chen Xiaobei cocked his head to the side. “Are you saying that the headquarters is on Divine Cloud Planet?”
“Yeah!” Linghu Shuang nodded. “Divine Cloud is the core of Northern Wilderness Starfield. Other than the Temple, all the most important organizations and most powerful forces are all centralized on Divine Cloud Planet!”
“Oh, no wonder! Since you’re so familiar with that place, you can be our guide then!”
“Mm!” Linghu Shuang nodded and the pointed her chin at the two men behind her. “Are we bringing these two?”
“Not even one!”
After that, Chen Xiaobei dumped the American President into the secret space and instructed Xiao Bai and Sirius to watch over the idiot.
The demigod Osnur, on the other hand, was placed into the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.
Osnur was a very big trump card to Chen Xiaobei. He could release him from the gourd whenever he needed him to defeat enemies that were more powerful than him!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei did not let Linghu Shuang witness any of these. After all, these were Chen Xiaobei’s biggest secrets. He could not just allow anyone to find out about it.
Through the Silver Plume portal, Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang arrived at Divine Cloud Planet!
The moment they arrived, Chen Xiaobei was completely flabbergasted.
As the core of Northern Wilderness Starfield, this place was a hundred times larger than that of Silver Plume City in terms of prosperity and scale.
The place looked very much like a city of the future portrayed in films, for every corner of the place was filled with advanced technology and modern elements.
Chen Xiaobei thought to himself that even if earth continued to develop for another millennia, no city would be even able to catch up to this city by half!
“Get in!” Linghu Shuang took out a white flying car from her storage bracelet.
This girl really was not exaggerating when she said that she was very familiar with the place. They arrived at the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce Headquarters in no time.
The building was grand and colossal like a castle. Based on the façade of the building alone, it was plain to see that the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce was very well-heeled.
“So? It’s imposing, right?” Linghu Shuang said, “The Northern Chamber of Commerce is one of the Temple’s most important institutions! There are more than 100 branches all over Northern Wilderness Starfield. Every year, they would always provide the temple with enormous funding!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded, and then let out a long sigh, “So, the president of the chamber must be very powerful then?”
“The president? Well, he’s not an ordinary person,” Linghu Shuang said, “His relationship with the Northern Wilderness Temple Overlord is very special. People call him Divine Lord Tie, and he has many friends in high places on Divine Cloud Planet! You could say that he had only one person who was over him and millions under him!”
“God of Wealth? Sounds like he’s a big deal!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled. “Let’s go in. Get this done as soon as possible. I have an appointment with a friend. He’ll treat us to a hearty meal once we’re done!”
“Friend?” Linghu Shuang whistled. “You have friends here in Divine Cloud? Then why did you even bring me along for?”
“Er, that’s just a fair-weather friend. I trust you more when it comes to doing big things like these!”
“Now, that’s more like it!” a smile spread across Linghu Shuang’s lips.
In the headquarters of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
The layout of the first floor was like a giant market, stocked to the brim with well organized neat rows. There were all kinds of things there. If you could think about it, you could surely buy it there!
“Welcome, distinguished guests. Is there anything I can help you with?” a young salesperson greeted politely.
This was Divine Cloud planet after all, where all kinds of people existed together, among of which one would never know, could be someone notable. A person who might look insignificant on the outside might have very well come from a powerful background.
As a young salesperson who lacked the sagacity to see beyond the façade, it was only wise to treat each person who walked in the door with the best attitude and avoid offending anyone.
“I’m Chen Zhufeng. Gu Congwen from Silver Plume recommended that I come here.” Chen Xiaobei revealed his identity.
“Che… Mr. Chen! You are the Mr. Chen!” The salesperson exclaimed.
“Why? Is there something wrong?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“No… No… Nothing’s wrong! You are our Northern Wilderess Starfield’s great hero! But…” The salesperson suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and swallowed.
“But what?” Linghu Shuang asked, brows furrowed.
“No… Nothing…” The salesperson swallowed again.
“You look as guilty as a thief. How could you say it’s nothing? Do you think we’re stupid?” Linghu Shuang snapped.
“I…” The salesperson wrung his hands nervously.
“Shuang’er, don’t make it difficult for him! He’s just an employee. There are a lot of things that are not within his control!”
Chen Xiaobei quickly stepped in.
“Oh.”
Linghu Shuang nodded obediently.
The salesperson looked relieved. “Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I’ll go get our manager!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded.
The both of them waited in silence.
“Distinguished guests! Ah, distinguished guests!”
After a while, a plump middle-aged man waltzed down the stairs.
“Let me introduce myself!” He said with a big smile on his face. “I am Bao Qingshan, the manager of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce’ headquarters. Today, I will be serving you, Mr. Chen!”
Chen Xiaobei noticed an odd expression on the salesperson’s face.
He could sense something fishy going on.
However, Chen Xiaobei had always been amenable to persuasion, but not coercion.
If the other party’s attitude was good, Chen Xiaobei would also respond in kind.
“How are you, manger Bao? I’ve come here to discuss about a transaction. You should know that already, right? I hope we can conclude this sale as quickly as possible! I need to meet a friend after this! He’s not known for his patience, so if I’m late, he might come visit you himself!”
