Book 6: Chapter 53:2 Association Chief Position Opened, Part 2


    Wellto be straight with you, your promotion to chief is already secured. However, you still need to rue enough evaluation points to exchange for the chief position.


    So, whats this pre-approval? Dont I still need to spend evaluation points to get it? How is it different from working my way up to chief through my own efforts? This pre-approval didnt seem like much to Chen Heng.


    Of course, theres a difference. The difference is that even if others be administrators, they can never exchange for the chief position, as they are not qualified. You have the right to make that exchange.


    A dirty under-the-table deal!


    You, as the beneficiary, have no right to say that. Anyway, my superior is off to discuss with the world consciousness how to proceed. It should be sorted out soon.


    So fast?


    Its just a conversation; how long could it take? There arent anyyers of approvals involved.


    Alright, alright. You all should pay more attention to the Dimension Administrators Associations store. When the items are ready, Ill make an announcement. Items like those virtual reality helmets will be featured prominently.


    After sharing this news with the association members, Chen Heng found himself with nothing to do.


    Now, Chen Heng was grappling with how to handle his rtionship with his master. What if his master was still mad at him?


    Chen Heng never meant to steal his masters bra!


    <em>Ermlets wait for dinner. Ill cook Master an apology banquet.</em>


    When Chen Heng thought about the apology banquet, he recalled his mid-tier cooking. Then he searched the associations store and saw the improved version of mid-tier cookinghigh-tier cooking.


    The high-tier cooking was not very expensive, just 5,000 points. Furthermore, Chen Heng only had to spend 4,500 points to buy it, as he had already purchased the mid-tier cooking.


    After some consideration, he purchased the high-tier cooking. He was rich now, so it was time to enjoy life.


    Back then, Chen Heng was so focused on saving points because he didnt fully understand their value and thought they were hard to earn. He also needed points to buy items for his revenge n.


    However, that was no longer necessary.


    Humanswith afortable life and a peaceful environment, people naturally start seeking a higher quality of life.


    Moreover, Chen Heng no longercked the means to grow stronger, just time, so he did not need to use points to buy other abilities.


    Regarding abilities, Chen Heng had the Chiliad Sword Conceptions cultivation technique to temper his Will Energy. He only managed to form ten Will Energy swords, and his Will Energy had already strengthened by 10 percent. Dont look down on just 10 percent. His Will Energy was already quite vast. Merely forming ten Will Energy swords had strengthened his Will Energy by 10 percent, which simply surpassed his expectations. With stronger Will Energy, his abilities became stronger.


    However, Chen Heng knew that this was just the initial growth bonus. In the future, he wouldnt receive such treatmentbut he would continue to grow stronger.


    The process of forming Will Energy swords involved repeatedly tempering Will Energy and then using a special method to enhance his Will Energy.


    As for sword techniques, Chen Heng wasnt worried, either. He continued to study sword techniques and sword conceptions to form his Chiliad Sword Conception.


    As for cultivationnot to boast, but he had strong innate talent. Surprisingly, the Dimension Administrators Associations store allowed direct purchase of cultivation realms. However, the prices were high, making Chen Heng rethink his life choices. He decided to cultivate himself because a shaky foundation wouldnt be good for his future.


    Hence, Chen Hengs real challenge was time, not means.


    Chen Heng did consider exchanging for some powerful abilities to diversify his skills. However, looking at the prices of skills and abilities in the Dimension Administrators Associations store that could significantly enhance him, he decided to forgo them.


    Those skills were not only expensive but also provided just a seed, requiring constant practice. Chen Hengs time was already tight.


    Purchasing the high-tier cooking now was not just to satisfy his desires. Rather, the food produced by high-tier cooking would bring some extremely wondrous effects. Of course, that required extraordinary ingredients.


    With the high-tier cooking to help, Chen Heng could continuously grow stronger just by eating, even if he did not cultivate.


    Since it could satisfy his desire and strengthen him, he decisively chose high-tier cooking.


    Moreover, there was another important reason. Satou Kazumas world abounded with ingredients.


    Chen Heng thought for a while before starting a private chat with Satou Kazuma.


    He Who Knows Fate: Kazuma, do you have any delicious monsters in your world?


    Kazuma the Brute: Delicious monster meat? We have some. Big Brother, do you want some?


    He Who Knows Fate: If I want it, can I get it before tonight?


    Night fell at about the same time in Chen Hengs and Satou Kazumas worlds.


    Kazuma the Brute: Thats pretty much impossible. The tasty monsters are well known, so theyve be quite rare from overhunting. Even if we post a request, itd be difficult to obtain before tonight.


    He Who Knows Fate: Then never mind.


    Chen Heng opened the chat interface, contemting who among the dozens of profile pictures could lend a hand. When a specific image caught his eye, his face lit up.


    <em>Workaholic Gil!</em>


    Gilgameshs era was firmly nted in the Age of Gods, where Phantasmal Species were far from umon.


    [TL Note: Phantasmal Species is themon term used to refer to all non-human creatures found in legends and fantasy. This would be the monster equivalent in the <em>Fate </em>series. Here is more information: /wiki/Phantasmal_Species.]


    Following a string of dubious transactions, Chen Heng acquired a substantial amount of Phantasmal Species meat from the Age of Gods.


    In return, he made a promise to Gilgameshif he had time when Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at their Singrity, he woulde to assist. Naturally, thepensation would be discussed separately.


    Chen Heng nced at the clock; it was currently 2:30. Dinner time was still a long ways off, but


    Chen Heng took out the meat of those Age of Gods Phantasmal Species from the Dimension Administrators Associations space, one after another, then began the arduous task of preparing it.


    The meat of these Age of Gods Phantasmal Species contained a significant amount of mana, requiring a different processing method, which took more time, from that of regr ingredients. However, in order to make amends to his master, Chen Heng endured.


    ------


    Chen Heng stood at Fu Huas door and knocked. Master, its time for dinner.


    Alright, Ill be down shortly. From Fu Huas tone alone, Chen Heng found it challenging to discern whether or not his master was still angry. He shrugged and left Fu Huas room.


    After calling his master, Chen Heng went to get Ryougi Shiki.


    Ryougi Shiki, who had slept for an entire day, had finally awakened not long ago. Her excessive sleepiness wasnt solely due to staying uptest night but also because she was a patient. After being nurtured by Chen Hengs Spiritual Energy, she became even sleepier but recovered faster. (The noon medicinal cuisine also yed a significant role, aiding in sleep; sleep is when the body recovers the quickest.)
