"Oh?"

The Great Elder turned his head back: "What is Bin'er's opinion?"

The other elders also looked at Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin's face was calm: "Just Bin'er thinks that the Zhang family should participate in this 'big competition'." ”

"What?"

An elder directly stood up and said: "Bin'er, you don't know the price of firewood and rice! Now that the Zhang family is getting worse, it's good to be able to protect itself, do you still want to participate in the 'big competition' and be cannon fodder?"

Fifth Elder: "Bin'er is young and vigorous, and his fighting spirit is high, it's not wrong to have this idea, but you should think more about the actual situation, not blind!"

Third Elder: "Did you hear what your fifth uncle said? Why don't you go and thank him for his teaching?"

......

When these discussions fell, the Great Elder looked at Zhang Bin: "Tell me your reasons." ”

Zhang Bin sorted out his words: "This 'great competition' is the trend of the times, and the purpose is to screen out forces, and in this process, there will inevitably be many cases of force annexation! Zhangjiajiang is declining, and it is difficult to compete with other forces, but under this general trend, it is very difficult to regress, and there may already be many forces who regard the Zhang family as fish and meat, and they are only used to fill the internal void!"

Paused for a moment: "So, I think instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight and take advantage of the chaos in this 'big competition'!"

With that, the surrounding elders were silent.

After half a ring, the second elder spoke: "What Bin'er said is not unreasonable, although the 'big competition' is ostensibly to complete the task and obtain the Desolate Sky Star, but most of those tasks are very difficult, if you want to complete and compete for the first place, the manpower and material resources required are not something that the two city families can afford, and the most convenient way to fill the domestic demand at this time is to annex the weak forces...... At that time, I think our Zhang family may be the first to bear the brunt!"

The fourth elder said calmly: "The decline of the Zhang family has already aroused the covetousness of many family forces, maybe this time is their best excuse......"

The head of the Zhang family frowned: "Let's take a look at the task list first, and then make a decision." ”

Then, the head of the Zhang family took out a piece of jade and injected a trace of true qi into it, and saw a piece of paper similar to the "Holy Decree" appear on the jade.

The elders looked at each other.

Zhang Bin also looked fixedly.

"Task 1: Kill the seventh-level demon beast, the Red Flame Fox, and reward five Desolate Sky Stars. ”

"Mission 2: Attack Qingyun Cliff and reward three Desolate Sky Stars. ”

"Task 3: Hand in 500,000 gold coins and reward a Desolate Star. ”

......

"Task Forty-Eight: Compete for ore veins and reward Desolate Sky Stars according to the type and content of minerals. ”

"Mission Forty-Nine: Attack the Liuyun Sect and reward five Desolate Sky Stars. ”

......

"Task One Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Add a new Qi Realm Fivefold Master, and reward a Desolate Sky Star. ”

"Task One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Add a new Qi Realm Sixfold Master, and reward five Desolate Sky Stars. ”

......

"Mission 321: Add a new sub-vocational apprentice and reward a Desolate Star. ”

"Task 322: Add a new sub-professional disciple and reward five Desolate Sky Stars. ”

......

Dense tasks, after reading it, Zhang Bin felt that his eyes were about to be spent.

After everyone finished reading it, and the head of the Zhang family put away the task list, he saw that the elders present were panting one by one.

Half a day later, the fifth elder said dryly: "These tasks are too difficult, for the current Zhang family, even the simplest one to hand in gold coins is difficult to complete!"

Second Elder: "Indeed, like that kind of killing seventh-level demon beasts, attacking mountains and villages, don't you have to think about it!"

Sixth Elder: "Then what should I do, it's not retreating now, it's not going to advance, is this 'big competition' really going to ruin our Zhang family?"

The elders sighed.

At this time, the third elder glared at Zhang Bin and said in a strange manner: "Didn't you say that the Zhang family should participate in the 'big competition'? Then if you look at these tasks, one is more difficult than the other, and completing one of them will make the Zhang family lose their vitality...... Why don't you finish one or two first, set an example, and give some hope to the family?"

"Finish one or two?" Zhang Bin took a sip of tea: "Don't say more, one or two are still very easy." ”

"What? I heard you right?" The third elder plucked his ears vigorously: "Didn't you wake up?" These tasks even the simplest have to be completed with the strength of the family, and it takes a lot of effort to complete them, you are good, easily one or two, when did you learn this kind of braggart operation?"

The fifth elder looked solemn: "Bin'er, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Sixth Elder: "As the heir to the throne of the Zhang family, you should walk in a good way, but in front of so many elders, you are so pompous, what kind of system!"

Even the head of the Zhang family frowned: "Bin'er, don't be unreasonable!"

Although the Great Elder did not speak, his face was not very good-looking, and his forehead was full of sorrow, as if he was thinking about something......

Zhang Bin: "No, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a family member running in from outside the door in a panic: "The head of the house, the head of the house, someone outside the door asks to see you!"

The head of the Zhang family frowned: "In a panic, what kind of system has it become!"

Then he said, "Who is outside the door asking to see?"

The family member said hesitantly: "Yes, it is the head of the Xiao family in Tianyu City, he is waiting outside the door now." ”

"Rain City?"

"The head of the Xiao family?"

"Could it be Xiao Qicheng, the president of the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce?"

The elders wondered.

Xiao Qicheng is a big man, their Xiao family is definitely one of the top three families in Tianyu City, if they have a good relationship with the Xiao family, this 'big competition' may be able to tide over the difficulties with his help!

Thinking of this, the elders were a little excited.

The eyes of the five elders lit up: "The head of the Xiao family is really a noble person of our Zhang family, he will appear at such a juncture, as long as we seize the opportunity to please the relationship with the head of the Xiao family, then ......"

The sixth elder's voice was eager: "Yes, yes, yes, you must take advantage of this opportunity, don't offend the Xiao family master!"

The third elder scolded the family member: "What are you doing with this little rabbit cub? Why don't you invite him in quickly when the Xiao family master comes, and let him wait outside, don't you want to live anymore?"

The fifth elder had a solemn expression: "When the Xiao family master comes in, you must make amends to him for this matter, and you must not leave a bad impression on the Xiao family master!"

Then he scolded the family member angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go and invite the head of the Xiao family to come in?"

Fourth Elder: "No, no, we should personally go and invite the Xiao family master!"

Third Elder: "It's still the fourth one who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Then he looked at the head of the family: "Master of the family, you can go with you too, so as to show the sincerity of our Zhang family." ”

The head of the Zhang family nodded with a deep sigh: "Okay!"

Saying that, these elders were ready to leave, but they heard the family member say hesitantly: "Xiao, the head of the Xiao family said that he would only come in if the young master agreed......
