Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1005: Chapter 250: Han Miaozhen: Who Burned My Army Provisions!_6

Zhou Chu was pleased with their potential and capability.

He thought that at such a young age, to have such prowess and ability was almost unmatched in the world. Of course, he overlooked the existence of Chen Jiusi, who was still two months shy of turning twenty.

Although he was shrewd and calculating, he was really only nineteen!

But all these young ones were chosen by Zhou Chu, and he had assigned them each a generational name.

This was a suggestion from Bai Mosheng to Chen Jie — for a guild to grow, heritage was crucial. Hence, he proposed to Chen Jie that a naming system should be established within the guild.

This could enhance control and a sense of belonging.

Chen Jie thought it made sense, as it was common in later times to hear people proudly say, ”I’m from the Green Guild and belong to the top generational line.”

Chen Jie felt that the Fishing Guild should not be inferior to the Green Guild, so he chose eight words: ”Serenity leads to distant aims, Thick accumulation leads to thin release!”

Zhou Chu initially wanted to use, ”Master Jiu Wu, Unify the world.”

Chen Jie vetoed it — the intent was too explicit, and if known, it might lead to conflict. Whereas ”Serenity leads to distant aims, Thick accumulation leads to thin release” had artistic conception and subtlety.

Thus, starting from the first generation, Chen Jie was considered the Ning generation patriarch, and alongside him were Zhou Chu and Xiao Hu, also of the Ning generation.

Next was the Jing generation.

These seven were considered prominent figures within the Jing generation.

”Gang Leader!”

A few stepped forward. Chen Jie looked at them and said, ”No need to be nervous. You are all outstanding in the Fishing Guild’s Jing generation. What are your names?”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s question.

One stepped forward and clasped his fists, ”Gang Leader, after joining the Fishing Guild, we have forsaken our previous names. We vow to be loyal to the Gang Leader, hence boldly adopting the surname Chen. I am Chen Jingyi!”

The others followed suit: ”Chen Jing’er, Chen Jingsan...”

The group spoke in unison, and Chen Jie, hearing them, chuckled, ”Joining the Fishing Guild doesn’t require changing your surname!”

They replied, ”We request the Gang Leader to bestow a surname.”

Chen Jie observed their earnestness, knowing it symbolized the power. If he bestowed a surname today, if they adopted Chen, they’d become his confidants.

This was a shortcut to advancement, benefiting Chen Jie as well.

Chen Jie needed confidants. Though his followers grew, his trusted ones were still insufficient. Yet once he gave them a surname, their future depended on him.

This was a form of personal allegiance; if Chen Jie were older, say thirty, they’d likely be seeking a godfather rather than asking for a surname.

Chen Jie was not opposed to this; who doesn’t want a better life?

Who doesn’t wish for a promising future? He too had once sworn allegiance to Peng Shizhong as a foster father.

Thus, Chen Jie found Chen Jingyi and his companions quite agreeable. Of course, whether they would be promoted depended on their abilities.

Chen Jie said, ”Well, as you wish, you may all adopt Chen as your surname.”

”Thank you, Gang Leader.”

They bowed. Chen Jie then reached into his garments, pulled out a gourd, and poured forth fourteen high-grade wolf pills, handing them over, ”Well, two pills each — consider this a welcoming gift.”

The group quickly took them, soon discovering the wolf pills’ benefits.

The Willow Tendon Realm could leverage it to break through to the Iron Bone Realm.

And although the Iron Bone Realm found it less beneficial, they had relatives and friends, siblings after all.

A high-grade wolf pill could at least create a Refining Body Realm or even Willow Tendon Realm expert. Such treasures made them elated.

Grateful expressions appeared as they thanked Chen Jie one after another.

Chen Jie looked at them, ”Well, just make contributions to the guild in future, rest assured, I, Chen Jiusi, have never been unfair to others.”

Upon hearing this, the group’s eyes brightened, and Chen Jie continued, ”Well, your temporary guild leader has matters to attend to, the task of transporting grain is now up to you — I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyi and the others exchanged glances, fully understanding Chen Jie’s meaning.

Not disappointing Chen Jie meant if they satisfied him, they would benefit greatly!

With this in mind, hope gleamed in all their eyes, the hope of achieving prominence.

Chen Jie liked these energetic and ambitious young people.

Because their efforts would amass great wealth for him.

To encourage them, Chen Jie divided thirty thousand people into seven teams, each person leading a team responsible for the grain transportation, to see who could do it best and most beautifully.

Of course, fair competition was necessary — if anyone used underhanded methods and botched the matter, the consequences would be dire.

The seven immediately buckled down and worked diligently.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie had some leisure time, beginning to review recent acquisitions — first, cultivation techniques. In recent days, Chen Jie amassed quite a lot of techniques, copies from Huangzhou Prefecture’s four major sects, and several smaller sects’ cultivation techniques.

Any one of them was superior to Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power of the past.

Apart from these ordinary techniques, Chen Jie possessed two top-level secondary techniques: [Record of Quan Divine] and [Fish-Dragon Three Changes]

Besides these, Chen Jie had acquired the three moves from his long-desired [Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms] technique.

They are [Shocking Hundred Miles], [Leaping in the Abyss], and [Flying Dragon in the sky]

Adding these three moves, Chen Jie now had five palms of the [Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms], including [Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness], [Crossing the River], along with the recent [Shocking Hundred Miles], [Leaping in the Abyss], [Flying Dragon in the sky]

With five palms, Chen Jie felt his hand technique would ascend to a new realm.

Additionally, Chen Jie obtained the extraordinary technique [Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique, Summer Chapter]

This was what Chen Jie desired most, as his core was [Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique], with the Spring Chapter’s Chang Chun Skill in hand — attaining the Summer Chapter now, Chen Jie anticipated a significant power increase.

Yet, this Summer Chapter seemed flawed — without defects, defeating Zhou Yu wouldn’t be easy.

Where indeed was the flaw in this technique?

Chen Jie pondered as he unfolded Zhou Yu’s Summer Chapter, carefully reviewing it.

He soon noticed the issue — it turned out to be here. Chen Jie found one page ripped in half, rendering Zhou Yu’s technique incomplete upon inspection of the torn half-page.

As he examined it, suddenly his eyes lit up.

Whoa, isn’t this the Fiery Fire Skill!
