Chapter 170: A Big Shot from the Rich District! [Sixth update, seeking full subscription]
A newly established force would certainly not attract many geniuses, and true geniuses mostly come from within major forces or families, because the descendants of powerful individuals almost all possess considerable talent.
It is almost unrealistic for Ye Tian to recruit those Family or influential descendants. They are unwilling to join, and Ye Tian cannot guarantee their loyalty.
Therefore,
Ye Tian is destined to only search for suitable geniuses among ordinary people, and there are quite a few ordinary people in Zhonghai Base, including several major civilian areas.
Jinghu District is a relatively developed area, while those civilian areas are basically where ancestors had no strong individuals, and generations were very mediocre, or where parents were strong but died, unable to maintain their large Family fortunes, and were forced to move into civilian areas.
In short, the civilian areas are not prosperous at all, and there aren't even high-rise buildings, only old buildings. The lives of the ordinary people are also very hard, and powerful Martial Artists rarely enter the civilian areas.
And once a Genius from a civilian area rises, they generally won't return to the civilian area, which leads to the prosperous areas of Zhonghai Super Base becoming more and more prosperous, while the civilian areas become weaker and weaker.
However, it must be mentioned that there are many ordinary people in the civilian areas, and among such large numbers, some geniuses will always be born, but these geniuses will find it difficult to rise if they don't have sufficiently high Cultivation Talent.
For example, an ordinary person with Medium-grade Cultivation Talent but Top-Tier special talent, who gave up cultivation before becoming a Martial Artist and started working, becoming an ordinary person.
Such a Genius is undoubtedly buried; if he is not discovered, his life will be like this forever.
This day,
Ye Tian came to Lunan Civilian Area, one of the many civilian areas in Zhonghai Base, with a population of about 200,000 people.
Upon entering Lunan Civilian Area, Ye Tian's Copy Talent covered a radius of 2 kilometers.
The talent situations of individual humans were seen by him, forming dense virtual images.
“Indeed, the talent of ordinary people is not very high!”
Ye Tian frowned.
Most ordinary people's talents are only Medium-grade or Elementary. There are very few ordinary people without talent, which is much better than Lin Hai Base and Demon Sea Great Base, but it is too ordinary in Zhonghai Super Base.
Ye Tian has strict requirements for his subordinates. If someone has Morning Star-grade cultivation talent, even if they have no special talent, he is willing to Cultivate them; if they have a relatively powerful special talent, even if their Cultivation Talent is a bit lacking, he is willing to Cultivate them.
If they don't have a powerful special talent and also lack Morning Star-grade cultivation talent, he will not Cultivate them.宁缺毋滥 (Rather lack than have something substandard) is one of his principles for selecting subordinates.
If he chooses a group of ordinary geniuses, even if they are cultivated, they will only become ordinary Grandmasters or ordinary King-grade Martial Artists, which won't be of much help at all!
“No good talent!”
Ye Tian shook his head, gave up on this area, and continued his search.
———–
Lunan Civilian Area.
On a narrow street, a 16-year-old boy, looking exhausted after finishing work, clutched a packet of medicine tightly in his hands, not daring to let go.
This packet of medicine was his life!
His younger sister was sick and desperately needed this medicine to save her life. It was expensive medicine he bought with a month's worth of wages, which his boss paid him today. Yes, to him, it was indeed expensive.
But to powerful Martial Artists, such medicine was as ordinary as could be.
“Martial Artist, one day I will also become a powerful Martial Artist!”
The boy said with a determined expression.
But as soon as he thought about having to work every day to support himself and his sister, where would he find time to Cultivate?
Moreover, he only had Medium-grade Cultivation Talent and cultivated the basic Body Tempering Method. He hardly dared to Cultivate more than a few times a day, otherwise he would be too tired and have no strength to work the next day.
Having started cultivating at the age of 15, in a place as rich in Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi as Zhonghai Super Base, he had only just stepped into the Martial Apprentice level after cultivating until now. Let alone in the entire Zhonghai Super Base, even in Lunan Civilian Area, he was at the bottom of the weak.
As he neared his doorstep, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly, a voice came.
“Lin Ze, what good stuff are you holding?”
Lin Ze was him.
Hearing this voice, the boy Lin Ze's face changed. What he feared most had come to pass.
He quickly ran home, believing that as long as he ran back and closed the door, he would be safe. The laws in Zhonghai Super Base were strict, and even powerful Martial Artists dared not commit home invasion and robbery.
But at the moment, he was afraid that person would snatch his medicine. If there was no evidence, he couldn't do anything to that person.
Moreover, even if he managed to sue the other party, it would be a long time later, and his sister was still sick. How could she wait that long!
Whoosh!
A figure appeared before him, it was Zhang Long, the boy who had been bullying him.
Zhang Long was one year older than Lin Ze and had decent talent, being a Medium-grade Cultivation Talent user. He was already a powerful Martial Artist, but with such strength and talent, he could only stay in the civilian area.
Zhang Long enjoyed bullying weaker Martial Apprentices, and Lin Ze was one of Zhang Long's many targets, even liking to snatch Lin Ze's belongings.

“Hand it over!”
How fast was Zhang Long? Before Lin Ze could react, he snatched the medicine packet from Lin Ze's hand.
“What is this?”
·········Seeking fresh flowers······
Zhang Long looked at the medicine packet and muttered softly.
“Zhang Long, this is medicine for my sister's illness. It's useless to you, please give it back to me!”
Lin Ze cried.
“Medicine packet?” Zhang Long opened it and saw many medicinal ingredients. Although not very precious, they were worth a few thousand yuan.
“Hahaha, not bad! If I sell it, I can get 2000 yuan. You bought this with a month's salary, right? Hehe, now it's mine!” Zhang Long laughed heartily.
“No, give it back to me!”
Lin Ze rushed over, trying to snatch his medicine packet back.
But for a small Martial Apprentice to snatch something back from a Martial Artist, it was simply impossible!
“Seeking death!”
Zhang Long said coldly.
He dared not kill Lin Ze, but he did dare to injure him. At most, he would pay some medical expenses, which was nothing.
However, just as he was about to make a move, his body froze.
“A mere Late Stage Martial Artist dares to be so arrogant!”
A young man stepped forward, and the moment he did, everything seemed to quiet down.
A moment later, everything returned to normal, but Zhang Long was sitting on the ground, drenched in sweat, breathing heavily.
Terrifying!
Great terror!
Zhang Long had never seen such a terrifying young man. A wisp of his Aura seemed to freeze everything, and even those powerful Grandmaster adults in the civilian area were far from possessing such an imposing presence.
“A big shot from the rich district!”
Zhang Long realized the young man's identity.
“Greetings, sir!”
Zhang Long knelt on the ground, extremely frightened.
This young man was naturally Ye Tian!
Ye Tian ignored Zhang Long and walked up to Lin Ze: “Go and get the medicine.”
Lin Ze nodded and walked to Zhang Long, taking the medicine packet from Zhang Long's hand. Zhang Long dared not stop him, as it was the adult's command.
“Why aren't you scrambling away?”
Ye Tian said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long immediately ran away.
“Thank you, sir!”
Lin Ze knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
“Get up!” Ye Tian said indifferently.
Lin Ze stood up and said, “Sir, I need to go home and boil this for my sister to drink. She's sick!”
“Let's go, I'll go with you!”
Ye Tian said casually.
“Sir, my home is a bit messy!” Lin Ze said with some embarrassment.
“Are you not welcoming me?”
Ye Tian said deliberately.
“Of course not!” Lin Ze was a little flustered, then said, “If sir is willing to visit my home, then please come with me!”
