Chapter 625: Do You Want to Leave?

District 43> Spacetime Sea Beast Boite.
It was the biggest chain restaurant on the Space-Time Island, specializing in cooking the sea beasts of the Space-Time Island.
“Welcome!” As soon as Wang Ye entered the hall, he saw a few giants wolfing down a hundred-meter-tall and thousand-meter-long sea beast.
The way the alien race ate was quite vulgar.
He followed Nante up to the eleventh floor and entered a private room.
The two ordered some dishes and chatted as they waited for the outer island manager to arrive.
“A High Dimension Lord personally led the team to accompany you guys on a mission? To make the actual combat realistic, a Sovereign Venerate used time reversal to help those who died to resurrect? A hundredfold reward for missions, free exchange of treasures, and passing the graduation exam gives you the right to choose any teacher you want?”
Nante’s eyes almost popped out when he heard Wang Ye’s stories about the Primordial Star.
Initially, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the Space-Time Island’s disciple training method. However, after interacting with Wang Ye, he felt uncomfortable.
The difference was as if one was heaven while the other was hell.
The difference was too great!
On top of that, all the disciples who joined the Primordial Star were treated equally.
They could head to the various celestial residence precincts, read whatever classics they wanted to, and carry out missions to broaden their horizons.
Even if their cultivation was slow, no one would rush them. It was both safe and comfortable, making it simply a cultivation holy land that one could only dream of.
In comparison…
Alright, there was no way to compare at all.
Nante was sad.
“Yeah, the Primordial Star is really not bad.” Wang Ye sighed.
If they didn’t compare, they wouldn’t know.
The Space-Time Island was surely not an exception. The other top factions were probably the same. Their resources were concentrated on the top geniuses.
The other disciples were thrown into the large furnace. Those who could kill their way out would naturally have copper skin and iron bones. As for those who could not kill their way out…
They could only blame themselves for being incompetent.
“Home, child.” Two words that Ning Dan often said appeared in Wang Ye’s mind.
In the past, he didn’t feel that deeply, but now, he felt a strong sense of belonging.
“Squeak.” The door was pushed open.
A thin man walked in with a cold and arrogant expression. He gave off a high and mighty aura. He glanced at Nante and then sized up Wang Ye before sitting down.
“And you are?” The outer island manager’s eyes were bright.
“My brother!” “His brother!” Nante and Wang Ye said at the same time.
“Brother?” The outer island manager frowned and drank a mouthful of water. “Is he the younger brother or the older brother?”
“It’s not important. Thank you for taking care of my brother for the past few decades,” Wang Ye said with a smile.
“No need for formalities.” The manager knocked on the table with his fingers. His eagle eyes swept across the two. “Take out whatever you want to give me. I still have things to do. Don’t dawdle.”
“Can’t I just transfer the money to you?” Wang Ye looked at him.
“There’s an inspection department on the Space-Time Island. Once the bribery is found out, not only will you be expelled from the Space-Time Island, but I will also be implicated.” The outer island manager sneered.
Oh?
Wang Ye smiled. “Then let’s be frank. Give my brother a spot in the selection in a year. How much do you want?”
The outer island manager crossed his fingers and leaned back in his chair. He looked at Wang Ye with a faint smile. “That depends on how sincere you are. The more sincere you are, the greater the chance.”
Wang Ye stopped smiling. “Stop dawdling. Cut to the chase and give me a price. I want a 100% confirmed spot.”
“Are you hearing yourself?” The manager sneered. “A 100% confirmed spot? Could it be that you can even take out 100 star beads?”
Pa!
Wang Ye slapped a large star bead that was worth 100 standard star beads on the table without changing his expression.
The star bead with condensed innate energy was shining with exquisite light.
Never mind Nante, even the outer island manager sat up straight. His eyes were about to pop out as he reached out to take it.
“Wait a minute.” Wang Ye gently pressed a finger on the large star bead. He looked at the outer island manager. “I’ve taken out the money. What guarantee do you have?”
The outer island manager remained calm but he could not hide the greed in his eyes. His expression was solemn. “I have received your sincerity. Don’t worry. I promise to give Nante a spot in the selection in a year.”
“Don’t exaggerate. Be more practical.” Wang Ye asked. “What if you can’t give him a spot? Will you refund us at full price?”
“I can’t decide on the selection quota alone. There are other overseers!” The outer island manager said snappily. “Since I’ve accepted your money, I’ll help you arrange everything.”
Wang Ye looked at him. “So, you’re just using the selection as an excuse to make money. You don’t actually have any power, right?”
“Nonsense!” The outer island manager’s eyes flashed. His face was gloomy. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the other disciples who have got a spot in the selection. You’ll know if I’m right!”
Wang Ye was unmoved. “When you cast a wide net, there will always be fish that will fall into the net. At most, you know some insider information and will hint at the disciples who will be selected. Then, you will receive some benefits while slowly building a reputation among the disciples. Am I right?”
“Bastard!” The outer island manager slammed the table and stood up. He was furious. “That’s a downright dirty calumniation! Believe it or not, I will make Nante unable to enter the inner island for the rest of his life!”
“Just like the disciple who died not long ago, right?” Wang Ye asked calmly.
Nante was stunned.
“What nonsense are you talking about?!” The manager’s expression changed. “What does this have to do with me?!”
Wang Ye didn’t continue this topic. He just took back the large star bead. “Unfortunately, you don’t have the ability to earn this money.”
!!!
The outer island manager’s eyes reddened.
Looking at the empty table, he clenched his empty fist and gritted his teeth. “Think about it well! Going against me in District 43 won’t end well! Nante, just wait to stay in the disciple’s garden for the rest of your life!”
Bang! The outer island manager slammed the table and stood up, walking out angrily.
“Wait a minute,” Wang Ye suddenly said.
The outer island manager sneered and stopped. “Are you regretting it now? It’s too late! Let me tell you, sometimes it’s not a bad thing for people to be a little stupid. Being smart without strength will only make you seem even more incompetent.”
“Sit down, things aren’t over yet.” Wang Ye said.
The outer island manager sneered and pulled out a chair by the door. “If you take out the star bead again, I might not be bothered to argue with you little brats if I’m in a good mood.”
“Before you leave,” Wang Ye said calmly. “Hand over all the money you took from my brother.”
“What the hell?” The outer island manager was furious. “Why don’t you go out and ask around? What is this place?! A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. Is it your turn to behave atrociously on the Space-Time Island? Believe it or not, I’ll make it so you can never walk out of this door!”
Wang Ye looked at him. He slowly took out the Primordial Star’s badge and put it on his chest. Then, he looked at the stunned expression of the outer island manager and smiled. “What did you say just now? I didn’t hear it clearly. Why don’t you repeat it word by word?”
Primordial Star, Final Star Examination’s badge!
The outer island manager’s head rumbled and he stuttered, “I, I…”
He, of course, knew what this meant!
With a total rating of 24 stars in the Star Examination and being the disciple of a Sovereign Venerate, not only was the young man in front of him a proud talent of the Primordial Star but also a top genius in the entire human cosmic!
Putting aside his status, his combat prowess alone was enough to crush an ordinary Undying Lifeform like him!
“Haha, Nante, you’re too much. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have such a brother? I thought you were just an ordinary cultivator from a cosmic nation.” The manager laughed awkwardly.
Wang Ye pointed at the table.
The outer island manager hurriedly took out a pile of indestructible fireflies. “They’re all here.”
“You can go now.” Wang Ye ordered him to leave.
“Alright, alright.” The outer island manager squeezed out a smile. “If you need my help, you can ask Nante to come to me. The quota for the selection is decided by the overseer. I really can’t help you. However, I can still make decisions for some miscellaneous matters in the disciple’s garden.”
Wang Ye nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The outer island manager bowed and left with an obsequious smile. Before he left, he stuck his head out. “Nante, I’ll pay the bill for the private room. You guys enjoy your meal and chat.”
After saying that, he carefully closed the door.
The room was quiet.
Nante looked at Wang Ye in a daze. He hadn’t come back to his senses yet.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted delicious food. Come, let’s have a good meal.” Wang Ye picked up a boned sea beast leg and began to chew on it without hesitation.
Seeing the giants eating so happily in the hall, he had long wanted to feast.
Nante was silent for a while.
“I don’t understand, brother. Why is he so afraid of you?” He asked.
“It’s very simple. I’m stronger than him, and my status is higher than his.” Wang Ye said, “To put it bluntly, the outer island manager is just a manager of the disciple’s garden. His position is even lower than the overseers. Killing him is like stepping on an ant.”
“He… He’s very strong.” Nante hesitated.
“I’m stronger.” Wang Ye threw away the bone in his hand. “There’s no need to be too polite with such an obsequious person. If you’re weak, he’ll bully you. If you’re strong, he’ll only curry favor with you.”
Nante was deep in thought.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do. Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to reveal a corner of your trump card,” Wang Ye said with a smile.
“Your trump card almost scared him silly.” Nante looked at Wang Ye.
“If we don’t do this, how can we find out his capabilities?” Wang Ye said.
“How do you know that he doesn’t have the power to decide the selection?” Nante asked.
“He said it himself. The Space-Time Island has an inspection department. The Space-Time Island is one of the 18 top factions, after all,” Wang Ye said. “After countless eras, the mechanism for selecting disciples is very mature. There won’t be any obvious loopholes.”
“Besides…” Wang Ye smiled. “With his ability, he’s not qualified to be a teacher and choose the future inner island disciples of the Space-Time Island.”
“Brother, you’re still amazing as always.” Nante understood.
“To be honest, I don’t care about this small amount of money. It’s just that I don’t like being tricked,” Wang Ye said. “If he’s really capable and can help us do things, what’s the harm in giving him some money?”
Was too Star Beads a small amount of money?
Nante shook his head.
He was still budgeting and living frugally, but his brothers seemed to be… Rich again?
“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Wang Ye wiped his hands clean and looked at Nante. “Do you want to leave?”
