The city's number one tycoon - Chapter 583
Everyone around looked at Ma Yunteng with puzzled expressions. One of them asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, everyone, stop being so confused. It's good that Yun Teng realized this!" Minister Zhang chuckled and continued, "Actually, your purpose in entering the Zhoujie was not to seize the crystal wall resources, but to prevent others from seizing them!"
After a pause, Minister Zhang continued, "According to historical records, the area around the border is extremely dangerous. Therefore, you must unite sincerely, and if necessary, even unite with people from other countries. Remember this: there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!"
Everyone nodded.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Does anyone want to withdraw?" Minister Zhang asked, glancing at everyone.
The crowd remained silent, only nodding. Within the Heavenly Group, no one was afraid of death!
"Very good, you've all done a great job! I hope all of you can return safely from the perimeter. If anything happens to you, don't worry, I will take good care of your families! You are all heroes!" Minister Zhang nodded approvingly.
"Alright, now we need to select an officer from among you, who will be the leader. A team must have a commander, otherwise it will be difficult to exert its combat power. You can have a democratic election." Minister Zhang said, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone pointed at Ma Yunteng at the same time.
If there's anyone who can make them willingly call him "boss," it can only be Ma Yunteng.
"Uh." Ma Yunteng gave a helpless wry smile, not expecting his prestige to be so high.
"Alright, Ma Yunteng is the one everyone wants to lead the team! Alright, everyone else can go and prepare. At midnight tonight, everyone will line up and depart!" Minister Zhang said solemnly.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately left the meeting room.
Only Ma Yunteng and Minister Zhang remained.
"Minister Zhang, what is it?" Ma Yunteng asked.
"Regarding the number 3157," Minister Zhang smiled slightly, then walked to Ma Yunteng's side and explained in a low voice.
About a minute later.
Ma Yunteng suddenly felt a huge weight pressing on his heart. Minister Zhang's words made Ma Yunteng feel extremely heavy!
"So that's how it is." Ma Yunteng murmured, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"So, Yun Teng, are you still willing to continue accepting this mission?" Minister Zhang asked with a slight smile.
"Hehe, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I was just thinking of going to check out the surrounding area, treating it as a kind of sightseeing trip." Ma Yunteng smiled faintly.
"Good!" Minister Zhang nodded approvingly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We'll depart at midnight tonight. Oh, by the way, I'll give you a surprise then."

Chapter 452 Author's Closing Remarks...
The author felt heavy-hearted when writing this chapter title. (˘•ω•˘)
The author cannot see the subscription status on other platforms, but there are still hundreds of readers following the story on QQ Reading. Some readers are even looking forward to seeing what happens next. Here, the author must apologize to those readers who have followed the story to this point!
This is really embarrassing... I've let you all down... Please be gentle with your criticism...
Next comes the journey to the next realm, and the plot basically shifts towards cultivation. Later, the author plans to have Ma Yunteng go on a wild adventure on the Godly Rich Star… Actually, the system is the princess of the Godly Rich Star… but the story is ending soon, so there won't be a chance to tell everyone…
This is an imperfect ending, but unfortunately, it's finally finished.
As for the reason for ending the book, the author is a little embarrassed to say. Just last night, the author suddenly discovered that he had won ten million in the lottery. The surprise came too suddenly, and even now the author still can't believe it's real.
It turns out it really isn't real...
...
The real reason is that the book's performance no longer satisfied the author.
I'm a new author with limited experience, especially in handling long stories, which is a major problem. I suspect many readers haven't had a very enjoyable experience lately... The recent drop in subscriptions is also very disheartening for me...
If I were allowed to pad out a chapter, I could easily write at least a million words, but doing so would undoubtedly be deceiving the readers. Padding out a chapter is completely different from writing a proper chapter. It only takes me forty minutes to write a normal chapter, but it often takes me two hours to complete a real chapter.
Let's end it here.
My biggest regret is not being able to add an extra chapter for the big spenders who have given me 10,000 rewards. I'm truly sorry.
Actually, the author is quite satisfied. At the beginning of the book, the author's goal was to win the previous competition, but the current results have already exceeded the initial goal.
Well, that's just wishful thinking...
Ultimately, it comes down to the author being dissatisfied with what he has written so far.
I don't want readers to pay for a subscription only to not see an exciting story.
The truth is, you don't see interesting stories, and you're unwilling to pay to subscribe...
I'm confident I can write it better if I start over.
For those who still enjoy reading my work, please join the group. I'll make up for any shortcomings later. I guarantee my new book will be even better than this one, and it won't be padded... If I don't write at least five million words, I'll... well, you know. (Group number 854424383, feel free to criticize me there, it'll be more direct...)
The most painful thing about writing is that some readers support you and then leave, leaving you no time to express your gratitude...
I hope everyone remembers the name Ma Yunteng... the only real Ma Yunteng on the entire internet!!!
Thank you everyone. Special thanks to my editor, Pidan. Thank you.
