Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104: The Gathering

He is very confident about his own perception.

”Isn’t that still the same?” Ba Lv murmured, ”Anyway, the mermaids will take them in, but who knows if it’s because these little ones are cute, useful, or both? Right?”

She said the latter part to the Little Sea Wolf, who was not used to being held by Ba Lv for a long time and was anxiously trying to break free. Of course, it didn’t have as much strength as Ba Lvluo, so it was whining anxiously.

The Mermaid Leader walked over, and Yanran asked her, ”Well, have your people agreed to adopt them?”

Although a few people still couldn’t accept these Little Sea Wolves for the time being, they also obeyed the majority opinion,” the Mermaid Leader said with a smile.

”Do you want to know who was most willing to adopt these little ones?” The Mermaid Leader asked Yanran and Ba Lv. She didn’t ask Jiang Cheng because she knew he wouldn’t care about this question.

”Is it Jin?” Yanran and Ba Lvluo’s curiosity was indeed piqued by her words.

”It’s the one remaining mermaid who served as bait,” the Mermaid Leader laughed, ”You wouldn’t have guessed, right?”

Indeed, Yanran and Ba Lv hadn’t expected it to be her.

This truly was an incredible thing.

The Mermaid Leader said, ”Precisely because she has suffered at the hands of the Sea Wolves, she knows that Sea Wolves are stronger than us. It’s truly reassuring to have such creatures protecting us.

Since the threat of the Sea Wolves has been completely eliminated, and the grouping of the Little Sea Wolves is perfect, Jiang Cheng and the others should leave here and continue their journey.

The Mermaid Leader earnestly pleaded with them to stay a few more days, but Jiang Cheng steadfastly refused.

Seeing their teacher was so determined, even though Yanran and Ba Lv wanted to spend more time with these beautiful creatures, it was impossible.

Seeing them insist on leaving, the Mermaid Leader couldn’t do anything. She led her people to escort Jiang Cheng and the others to the place where the spaceship was parked, watching them board the spaceship and then watching as it soared into space.

The spaceship had disappeared, yet the mermaids hadn’t left. Around them, the Little Sea Wolves were playing joyfully.

”Teacher, what’s our next goal?” Guo Ran asked Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked at the galaxy map and hadn’t answered when Ba Lv spoke first, ”No matter where we go, I insist that we should find a place to rest every once in a while.”

Jiang Cheng and Yanran looked at her.

”Why are you looking at me like that? Is it so strange?”

Yanran nodded, ”Why should we do as you say?”

”Look, we just helped the mermaids. If I hadn’t suggested finding a planet to rest on for a while, would such things have happened? Don’t you agree?” Ba Lvluo piloted the spaceship, but it didn’t stop her from talking.

If it weren’t for us, those mermaids would have been eaten by the Sea Wolves long ago. We not only rested for a while but also saved them. Isn’t that great, killing two birds with one stone?

”Wishful thinking!” Jiang Cheng was both amused and exasperated by Ba Lv’s reasoning, ”Didn’t you see the gap between you and Yanran while facing the Sea Wolves just now?”

Whenever it came to matters of cultivation, Ba Lv would become quiet, knowing that her teacher was still not satisfied with her progress in this area.

”So, take advantage of this time to concentrate and elevate your Spiritual Power to a new level,” Jiang Cheng reprimanded her.

”That’s unfair, teacher!” Ba Lv protested.

”Oh? How am I being unfair?” He was surprised she used such a superficial reason to argue with him.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, his female disciple was truly becoming bold.

”Didn’t you say Yanran is a genius? Ouch, why are you hitting me? Did I say anything wrong?” Ba Lv gave Yanran a glance.

”You compare me, an ordinary person, to a genius like that. Isn’t that unfair?” Ba Lv continued talking to herself.

It really was; Yanran in front of her was like a mountain, blocking out any light of hope.

Yet the teacher always compared her to Yanran, which she found unacceptable.

”What? You’re an ordinary person?” Jiang Cheng laughed.

”Oh, am I also some kind of genius? Teacher, don’t comfort me; I won’t believe it,” Ba Lv said honestly.

Jiang Cheng sat down beside Ba Lv, and he looked at her and said, ”In your view, how are your teacher’s abilities?”

”You? Absolutely top-notch,” Ba Lv found it strange her teacher would ask her this question.

”When I was with the Black Exhaust Group, every year, there was a quite significant gathering in the Dark World, where the leaders of various Dark Groups gathered to discuss some shady business.”

Ba Lv’s progress in Spiritual Power cultivation always left Jiang Cheng dissatisfied, so he wanted to use this travel time to help her enhance her abilities.

Unexpectedly, Ba Lv claimed she was just an ordinary person, unable to compare with the genius Yanran.

In response to her statement, Jiang Cheng planned to encourage her through indirect means.

But Ba Lv didn’t directly answer his question and instead talked about her time with the Black Exhaust Group.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran listened attentively as she didn’t give a direct answer and started speaking about her experiences in the Black Exhaust Group.

Each time during the gatherings, to prevent being sabotaged, or to counter the sudden attack by cosmic forces—though such situations rarely occurred—the bosses would bring their best subordinates to prevent any emergencies. I’ve participated in such gatherings pretty much every time since I became an adult, except once when I was on another planet carrying out a mission and couldn’t make it,” Ba Lv said, feeling proud.

”Every time after the bosses discussed things, there would be a banquet, and although there were various forms of entertainment, the most eye-catching event was the competition among the bosses’ subordinates.

”You shouldn’t think these subordinates were just putting on a show,” Ba Lv said, looking at Jiang Cheng and Yanran, ”Life and death are decided by fate!”

”Why would it be like that? Wouldn’t the death of a subordinate lead to their boss taking revenge?” Yanran asked, puzzled.

”Let me explain, didn’t think you’d be so eager,” Ba Lv said, casting Yanran a quick glance, ”Next time, if you interrupt me, I’ll smack you!”

Yanran nudged her with her elbow, showing she wasn’t afraid of her threat.

”In the meeting, there would always be people who couldn’t meet their own demands, as it’s impossible for the meeting to satisfy everyone. ” Ba Lv continued talking.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran nodded, recognizing that such situations do indeed occur. Meetings are often about reaching a compromise, which means there will always be some whose interests aren’t fulfilled for the benefit of the majority.

”I don’t know when it started or who first did it, but I only know that once, there was a boss who not only didn’t get what he wanted in a meeting, but also ended up losing some interests when a few others teamed up against him, making him furious.”
