Chapter 270 - The Province Test Began (1/2)

Gu Liang was startled. To tell the truth, Lin Xun was the first one he thought about when he began to select candidates to advertise Golden Hall.

But he did not do so in the end. Lin Xun had already helped him by giving him those peerless spiritual materials, which valued more than 100,000 gold coins.

Under such circumstances, how could he have the face to ask Lin for another favor?

Gu Liang was an arrogant teenager who valued his self-esteem very high. If he always sought help from Lin Xun whenever he met difficulties, he thought that it would show his incompetence.

Therefore, when Lin Xun mentioned this matter, Gu Liang hesitated at that moment. There was no doubt that Lin Xun was the most effective influencer. He was now a well-known figure in Mist City, and if he was willing to lend a hand, he was definitely the most suitable one.

But Gu Liang couldn’t ask for a favor from him.

“Okay, that’s the deal.”

Lin Xun seemed to have seen through Gu Liang’s thoughts, clapped his shoulder, and announced, “Remember, since we are friends, it’s natural to help each other. After all, I’m still waiting to get rich through our Golden Hall, so how can I watch my business fail?”

Gu Liang laughed bitterly and was interrupted by Lin Xun when he was about to explain, “Tell me, how do you plan to boost your name?”

Gu Liang bantered. “Let’s make it clear first: it’s your initiative to do me a favor.”

Lin Xun laughed and said, “Of course, let’s go and have a good chat in Golden Hall. I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Gu Liang couldn’t help laughing, too. He felt so warm with Lin Xun, just like returning to his childhood friend.

…

Lin Xun left Golden Hall late in the night. He had consulted Gu Liang for a long time and finalized a set of advertising strategies.

According to Gu Liang, he actually had a more perfect marketing, but it was too late to carry it out. He could only find opportunities later.

Lin Xun was amazed at Gu Liang’s strategies and ideas. He found that Gu Liang really had a talent in this art. Maybe in cultivation, Gu Liang was far inferior to himself. But on the commercial road, Gu Liang was a rare genius.

The propaganda concepts and plans elaborated by Gu Liang tonight were marvelous. It broke the secular conventions and was a rare scheme in the empire.

Lin Xun was now looking forward to the news he would bring when he began publicizing Golden Hall in the Province Test.

Although it was late at night, Shue Jin did not go to sleep as usual. He sat alone in the courtyard, drinking while deep in thought.

Seeing Lin come back, he casually said, “In half a month, the Province Test will begin.”

Lin Xu nodded and replied, “I know.” Immediately, he keenly noticed that Shue Jin was somewhat absent-minded tonight.

“Old Jin, something on your mind?”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing. I’ll leave when the Province Test is over.”

Shue Jin took a sip of wine and sighed.

Lin Xun was stunned. Unconsciously, he and Shue Jin had been together day and night for more than half a year, and now it was almost time to separate.

This made him feel a bit complicated.

Shue Jin had helped him a lot. He would have hardly gained a foothold in Mist City without Shue Jin’s deterrence.

Knowing Shue Jin was leaving soon, it would be a lie to deny his feeling of dismay.

Suddenly, Shue Jin said with a smirk, “Let me guess, are you feeling sad?”

Lin Xun nodded his head. He wasn’t in the mood to joke at this time. Instead, he earnestly asked, “Old Jin, where are you going after you leave?”

Shue Jin thought about it and then answered, “I will go to the Wasteland of Turbulence.”

The Wasteland of Turbulence!

That was the headquarters of the Empire of the Dark. There were three dark races in the Empire of the Dark: Voodoo-barbarian, Abyssal Devil Spirit, and Moon-ghost Ethnic.

In the Bloodthirsty Camp, Lin Xun had learned that the Wasteland of Turbulence was an ancient stretch of land vaster than the Empire’s territory with numerous dark races. It was the most dangerous region in this world.

Among them, although the real enemy of the empire was only Voodoo-barbarian, it had still brought about countless bloodshed and destruction to the Empire in the past thousand years.

Even now, the Empire had no power to defeat the race of Voodoo-barbarians.

From this, one could imagine how terrible the power of Voodoo-barbarians was. In the Wasteland of Turbulence, there were many more races, maybe even horrific than the barbarians.

If Shue Jin went there, of course, he would have to face terrible dangers.

“Why there?”

Lin Xun frowned and asked.

“In recent years, the Empire is becoming stronger and stronger, so the dark races have also become more and more uneasy. Therefore, there have been many frictions between humans and the dark races. A war might break out at any time. My trip is to explore the real situation, and it shouldn’t be that.”

Shue Jin explained casually.

“Can’t you have someone else go?”
