You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 419 Taking over the mission

"Very well, then this matter will be entrusted to you! Once it is accomplished, I will be generous with my rewards..."

Ying Chen said with a face full of joy.

In fact, given Ying Chen's current talent, his child will undoubtedly possess exceptional talent after birth. Coupled with the resources provided by the Great Qin Dynasty, the child's future potential will be extremely high.

But who would complain about their child's high talent?

If it can be improved, then of course it should be improved.

We must never let our children lose at the starting line.

"My lord, I obey the order..."

Yuan Tiangang said respectfully.

After saying that, he left the Imperial Study with the rhombus-shaped crystal, obviously to refine pills.

Only Ying Chen, Chang Yuchun, and Cao Zhengchun, who was serving at the side, remained in the Imperial Study.

"You've done a good job this time. I've granted your request. When our Great Qin goes on another campaign, you will be the commander-in-chief..."

Ying Chen looked at Chang Yuchun and spoke.

"This humble general thanks Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Chang Yuchun's face lit up with joy. He had thought that because of his recklessness earlier, the Emperor would no longer appoint him as the commander-in-chief.

Unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared, and the Emperor actually granted his request.

"Alright, although I have promised to make you the commander-in-chief next time, you are still Cheng Yaojin's deputy for now. There are still many things to do in the sea area, so you should go back first!"

Ying Chen waved his hand and said.

"Here!"

Chang Yuchun naturally had no objections. After bowing to Ying Chen, he left the Imperial Study and returned to the sea area via the teleportation array.

At this moment, in the sea, Cheng Yaojin sat in the seat of the Dragon Palace Master, feeling utterly bored.

Without Chang Yuchun to bicker with, life feels meaningless. I really hope Chang Yuchun will come back soon.

Swish~~

A spatial rift appeared directly inside the main hall of the Flood Dragon Palace, and Chang Yuchun's figure walked out from inside.

Sensing Chang Yuchun's presence, Cheng Yaojin sprang up from his chair in a flash.

He walked quickly to Chang Yuchun's side.

"Old Chang, where have you been? Why are you so happy?"

Looking at the smile on Chang Yuchun's face, Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.

"It's nothing! I was just thinking about some happy things!"

Chang Yuchun waved his hand and said.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Cheng Yaojin about the promise Ying Chen had made to him.

If Cheng Yaojin finds out about this, I'm afraid my time working under him won't be easy.

"Tch, fine, don't tell me then! Who cares..."

Upon hearing Chang Yuchun's words, Cheng Yaojin could tell that he was just giving him a perfunctory answer, and he curled his lip in disdain.

Chang Yuchun didn't say anything, but went to sit down on the chair by himself.

"What do we do next?"

Chang Yuchun asked.

Cheng Yaojin sat back down in his chair and said, "Now that we have occupied all the territories of the four major powers, the next step is to send pioneers to these seas to search for resources and to relay information about this situation to Murong Haoxuan so that he can make the necessary preparations..."

"Another issue is constructing a teleportation array here. Although this place isn't far from the coast, it's not exactly close either. Relying on the speed of those low-level cultivators, it would probably take them quite a while just to get here..."

Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll go deliver the message right away..."

Chang Yuchun nodded and said.

Afterwards, Chang Yuchun left and returned to Tuohai City.

In the period that followed, a teleportation array was established in the Flood Dragon Palace, and the pioneers of the Great Qin Dynasty continued to venture into deeper sea areas.

The number of missions in the Hall of Merit has also increased significantly. The Imperial Guards here are very fast and quickly figured out the situation.

Because places like Jiaolong Palace are undeveloped areas with abundant resources, the corresponding danger level is also increased exponentially. After all, these places are far from the land, and there are many kinds of sea creatures whose strength is incomparable to that of places closer to the land.

However, it still attracted a large number of pioneers, with only some who were unwilling to take risks remaining in the original sea area.

Inside the Hall of Merit in the Tuohai City military camp.

The Hall of Merit had been operating for quite some time at this point.

All facilities have been completed.

At this moment, the first floor of the Hall of Merit was bustling with people. Some were accepting missions, some were handing over missions, and others were directly exchanging the corpses of the sea creatures and resources for merit points.

At this moment, a group of members of the imperial family arrived. They had just completed a mission and earned a large amount of merit points.

"Strange, why are there so many more tasks today?"

At this moment, a member of the royal family looked at the densely packed tasks on the screen in front of him and asked in confusion.

"I hadn't even noticed until you told me, but there are definitely a lot of tasks today!"

Another member of the royal family also noticed the change in the mission at this time.

While there were quite a few tasks recently, there weren't many either, and you often had to compete to get them.

But today is a little different.

The task station, which used to be packed with people, is surprisingly empty today.

"You just got back from a mission, didn't you?"

Just then, a voice came, and a soldier in armor came to the group and spoke.

"Brother, we have indeed just returned from a mission. May I ask what happened?"

"Why are there so many more tasks today, and even so few people in the Hall of Merit?"

Yingbo stepped forward, clasped his hands slightly in greeting to the soldier, and asked.

"Today is definitely different from usual..."

The soldier smiled slightly and said, "News just came that our Great Qin has occupied another sea area. This area is even larger, undeveloped, and rich in resources..."

"Many people are now heading to this newly occupied sea area in search of resources..."

Upon hearing the soldier's words, the members of the royal family all suddenly understood.

No wonder there are so few people in the Hall of Merit today, and even the number of missions has increased.

It turns out they've occupied another area of ​​the sea.

That sea area is undeveloped, so it must be exceptionally rich in resources. Even without taking on any missions, simply searching within that sea area could probably earn you a considerable amount of merit points.

Moreover, there are so many more tasks now that we simply can't accept them all.

"Thank you, brother!"

Yingbo cupped his hands in greeting to the soldier.

"It's nothing! It's just a small favor!"

The soldier waved his hand and said.

He then accepted a mission and left the Hall of Merit, clearly indicating that the other party also intended to go to the newly occupied sea area.

"How should we put it? Should we also take on some missions and head to the new sea area?"

Yingbo looked at the others and asked.

"Of course we have to go! This newly occupied sea area must have endless resources; we can't miss this opportunity to gain merit points..."

A member of the royal family said excitedly.

Although they completed many tasks during this period, most of them were done in teams. When the merit points were distributed to each person, each person did not actually receive many merit points.

Therefore, they certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to gain a large amount of merit points...

"what about you?"

Winbo looked at the others; he needed to consider everyone's opinions.

“We naturally have no objection. Why wouldn’t we go if we can earn merit…”

"That's right..."

"..."

Without exception, all the royal family members agreed to go to the newly occupied sea area.

"Alright! Then let's take on some missions in the new sea area, rest for a bit, and then head there..."

Yingbo heard no dissenting voices and immediately made his decision.
