Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#306 - Chapter 305: Northern and Southern Federation

Duan Xian shook his head, "It's not a punishment, I just want you to complete a task."

"Task?" Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow, "What task?"

"You should know that the Tianyuan Federation has six major consortiums, right?"

Li Chenqiu nodded.

Li, Zhou, Ying, Jin, Takahashi, and Ito. Li Chenqiu didn't know much about these six consortiums, but he knew their names.

Duan Xian took a sip of water and continued, "The Tianyuan Federation is a whole, but this whole has a prerequisite: it is only a whole when facing the Resurgents. Without this prerequisite, it is two opposing regimes."

Li Chenqiu adopted a listening posture, looking at Duan Xian attentively.

Seeing this, Duan Xian patiently explained:

"The three consortiums of Li, Zhou, and Ying jointly established the Antong Division, which governs all the Chosen Ones in this region, indirectly controlling the direction of these hundreds of cities.

As time passed, the influence of the Antong Division grew, even affecting the other side of the sea, which is the territory of the three major consortiums of Jin, Takahashi, and Ito.

In order to curb the development of the Antong Division, these three major consortiums established the Yuyan Division, which is equivalent to the Antong Division, the Hucheng Division, which is equivalent to the Special Ability Division, and the Minan Division, which is equivalent to the Public Security Division, to consolidate their rule."

"I understand." Li Chenqiu suddenly understood, then a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, "Is what you're telling me related to my mission?"

"Yes." Duan Xian nodded in agreement, "The task you are going to perform this time requires you to go to the other side of the sea. If you can complete this task well, your matter will be considered over."

Li Chenqiu smiled, "That's good, tell me about the task!"

"Five years ago, a new cursed land appeared near Xiuyue City on the other side of the sea. Professor Lu Xiancong from our academy, who is in charge of deep excavation of ancient civilizations, was invited by a friend to explore this cursed land, but that was five years ago."

A trace of incomprehension flashed between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows, "Is there any connection between the cursed land and ancient civilizations?"

"No one in the Federation knows how the cursed land appeared, but what is certain is that the appearance of the cursed land is closely related to ancient civilizations. In every cursed land, traces of ancient civilizations can be found more or less."

"I see." Li Chenqiu nodded, "So Professor Lu is trapped in that cursed land?"

Wen Renqing, who was sitting next to him, said in a cold voice, "It's not the cursed land that imprisoned him, but the Takahashi Consortium that rules Xiuyue City."

Duan Xian added, "According to the Antong Division, it is because Professor Lu discovered or obtained something in that cursed land that he was imprisoned by the Takahashi Consortium. We have no way of knowing the more specific situation."

Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes, "So my task is to bring Professor Lu back from there?"

Duan Xian nodded, "That's right."

Li Chenqiu crossed his arms and tilted his head, "I don't quite understand. Since we already know that Professor Lu is being held, why haven't we sent someone to rescue him in the past five years?"

Wen Renqing leaned on the sofa, "The Takahashi Consortium forcibly imprisoned Professor Lu in Xiuyue City in the name of friendship, and for some reason, Professor Lu still calls his family once a month.

To prove that he is not being held and is voluntarily staying in Xiuyue City. In this way, neither the Antong Division nor the academy can organize a rescue, because there is no legitimate reason."

"Um..." Li Chenqiu rubbed his chin, "Do I have a legitimate reason?"

Wen Renqing turned his gaze to Li Chenqiu's face, "Of course, as a freshman at Zhaixing Academy, you are very interested in the knowledge of ancient civilizations and admire Professor Lu Xiancong very much, so you want to visit him. This reason is very legitimate!"

The corner of Li Chenqiu's mouth twitched, "It's indeed quite legitimate."

Duan Xian instructed, "Also, this time you are going as a student, not representing the Jifa Division, nor the academy. Do you understand?"

"I understand. By the way, can I bring other people on this mission?" Li Chenqiu asked.

Going to a completely unfamiliar place alone, and having to snatch someone from a consortium, he was indeed a little unsure without Xiang Nanzhi.

Duan Xian tentatively asked, "You want to go with that student named Xiang Nanzhi, right?"

Li Chenqiu nodded in surprise, "Yes, he is a good friend of mine, and he is very smart, maybe he can help me."

Duan Xian did not give an answer, but turned to look at Wen Renqing, who was sitting next to him.

Wen Renqing was silent for a while, then opened his lips slightly, "Yes, in addition to him, you also need to find a translator. The language here is different from the language there."

"Thank you for the reminder, Director."

Wen Renqing stood up, "I will send you the information about this mission in the form of an email. At the same time, the academy will not let you work for nothing. This mission is equivalent to a nine-star mission, and the reward is also issued according to nine stars."

"Thank you, Academy."

Li Chenqiu got up to thank him and sent the two out of the villa.

Bang!

The door closed, and Li Chenqiu returned to the living room.

Da da da——

Urgent footsteps came from the stairwell, and Xiang Nanzhi, wearing pajamas,窜 out from the stairwell and ran happily to Li Chenqiu and sat down.

"You can take the initiative to mention me for this kind of good thing. Father is very pleased!" Xiang Nanzhi hooked Li Chenqiu's shoulder and shook it.

Li Chenqiu pushed away Xiang Nanzhi's arm, "Did you hear everything?"

Xiang Nanzhi said as a matter of course, "You guys are so loud, how could I not hear you?"

Li Chenqiu asked, "Do you know anything about the other side of the sea?"

Xiang Nanzhi翘起 Erlang's legs and摸着 his chin, thinking for a while, "I know a little, but not much, after all, I haven't been there a few times."

Li Chenqiu supported his head with his hand and gestured for Xiang Nanzhi to continue.

Xiang Nanzhi did not put on airs and directly said, "The Tianyuan Federation is divided into north and south. The land under our feet is the North Federation, and the other side of the sea is the South Federation."

Saying that, Xiang Nanzhi stretched out two fingers, "The North and South Federations are not much different, but they are not completely the same. The first point is that the land area of the South Federation is about half less than that of the North Federation, and the population is about three-quarters less.

Because of these two reasons, the cities in the South Federation are not named with serial numbers. Each city has its own name. All cities are divided into first-tier cities, second-tier cities, and third-tier cities according to their strength, corresponding to our North Federation's first, second, and third major districts."

Xiang Nanzhi put down one finger, "The second point is that the three major consortiums of the South Federation control all the cities on that land..."

"Wait a minute." Li Chenqiu raised his hand to interrupt Xiang Nanzhi, "Where is this different? The North Federation is also like this. The three major consortiums control all the cities."
