Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

''Shit?! A main mission?''

Tang Gao was stunned. Looking at the handsome Lin Fan and the beautiful Chen Zue, a sense of disbelief seemed to appear. But it was quickly replaced by indifference and a faint feeling of cruelty.

''Such terrifying rewards can make my potential compare to Level 2 Lords or even Level 3 Lords. Wouldn't my God's World have close to 200 people with Genius Talent at least? Hiss this is the same as the heritage of a Lord for Thousands of years!''

His breath quickened faintly. 

''Not to mention 5 guaranteed Peerless Geniuses, and a Guaranteed Supreme Genius… And the System points would be enough to expand my god's world massively and buy all sorts of things.''

''Haha Lin Fan… even if you weren't going to deal with me… I need to deal with you.''

''But I didn't expect Qin Xue to be blessed with the other half of Lin Fan's luck. No wonder he was so hostile to me when she had a crush on me.''

''Forget that for now, I don't even know where Qin Xue is. For now focus on defeating Lin Fan in the University challenge.''

Tang Gao remained slightly quiet for the rest of the day. But he was very diligent in learning what the teacher was showing. Including methods of farming commonly used, ways of ensuring loyalty, basic blueprints that can be manufactured.

He wrote them quickly in his notepad, creating books with his own notes to pass to the Court. 

''Go and purchase some basic literature to improve the education of the Empire. Otherwise when they are faced with a more developed population it can be an issue.''

After school, Tang Gao went to a few stores and purchased common books. Like literature on farming, construction, even the basics of business etc…

And he shoved them straight over to Wu Cong to deal with. 

''It seems I can use the Imperial Court Space to discuss dealing with Lin Fan however.''

That night, Tang Gao was sitting in his bedroom and his body slowly began to feel a sinking feeling. 

At the same time he felt a portion of his soul split from his body and drift to an unknown space. Here, there was a huge golden throne at the top. 

Below he could see familiar figures, the cultivators, Court Officials and Military officials! Clearly divided by rank as they sat further or closer to him.

''Greetings Emperor!''

A deafening roar came from the cultivators' mouths as they bowed towards Tang Gao.

''Everyone be seated.''

Tang Gao glanced over the more than 50 figures, over 30 of which are geniuses! They were divided into three sections, the left was the Cultivators, the middle the Court officials and the right were the military.

''I have gathered you today to discuss an issue.''

With a wave of his hand, a screen appeared in front of the officials, detailing Lin Fan's information. Including what Tang Gao knew about Maid Xiao.

''As you can see, our opponent this time is quite a threat. This Maid Xiao possesses an Ancient Demon Physique, when activated her strength will multiple by 10 times, not to mention the techniques she holds in her mind is enough to cultivate a terrifying army.''

''Naturally Lin Fan will do anything to protect her as of now. She theoretically can't awaken her physique until the University competition. But Lin Fan will get lucky and partially awaken it in his next reincarnation.''

''What are your opinions.''

Tang Gao said his part and then sat back. Looking over the subordinates in front of him.

The first to speak out was Richard Lionheart.

''Emperor! I believe we should focus on training our army. With enough strong soldiers we can defeat anything that stands in our way!''

However Wu Cong was quick to react.

''Idiot. According to the Emperor's Notes, our largest threat at the moment isn't Maid Xiao. She is just a long term threat. Rather it's the old ancestor that Lin Fan recruits in his next reincarnation.''

''Deacon Arhats are all Peak Junior Warriors, ordinary fighters are no threat to us. However Lin Fan manages to recruit an Intermediate Warrior in his next reincarnation. This is a gap that is difficult to bridge.''

''After all, although the Deacons and Elder are incredibly talented we do not know what the talent of this Old Ancestor is.''

''With Lin Fan's blessing of luck there is likely to be something suspicious about him.''

Wu Cong articulated his words well, looking at all of the different circumstances that could come as a result of attacking Lin Fan. 

Tang Gao greatly appreciated this, someone who knows not to underestimate the Protagonist. As for the notes he was referencing, it was the limited information Tang Gao knew from the novel.

''Instead I suggest we start with Chen Zue.''

''A single Intermediate Warrior can be dealt with effectively by the Elder and the Deacons working together, after all it is unlikely Lin Fan has another supreme talent.''

''But if Chen Zue provides enough resources to Lin Fan from her family, he can cultivate a Legion that would at least cause us to have to divide our power.''

Tang Gao nodded faintly and waved his hand, a panel appearing in front of them detailing Chen Zue's information. But soon another Court Official spoke.

''How do we deal with Chen Zue? The Chen Family is not weak by any means.''

Wu Cong tapped his chin faintly, seemingly unable to come up with an answer. But a slightly quiet voice came from a younger looking girl in the audience.
