Chu Xiu nodded and asked, "Brother, which faction do you think I should join?"

"I can't answer that," Zhao Jie shook his head. "Each of the three factions has its own strengths and weaknesses. The commerce consortium represented by the Longevity King holds abundant resources and is the most economically powerful of the three. However, its drawback is the merchant's focus on profit, with little interest in negotiating other benefits. Moreover, its overall strength is the weakest of the three, which might make it difficult to secure ideal combat power."

"The guild represented by the Martial Extreme King and the military power represented by the King of Slaughter are on par, both possessing numerous extremely powerful demigods, though their styles are vastly different."

"The guild values brotherhood. As long as they acknowledge you, many would go through fire and water for you. But for someone like you joining midway, without having shared life-and-death experiences with them, it's hard to be genuinely accepted."

"As for the military, they require strict discipline and have the most rules among the three factions. In fact, every so often you must carry out a mandatory task to prove your value and loyalty to the military."

Zhao Jie's words made Chu Xiu furrow his brows.

Judging solely by the cooperation model, the consortia are naturally the most ideal; yet, they don't provide the combat power Chu Xiu desires the most. The remaining two guilds are naturally the best, but others aren't foolish; Chu Xiu is only thinking of using them, so how could they possibly bond with him? Fearful that the aid gained might not even exceed that from the consortium!

As for the military... the pros and cons are indeed too prominent, seeming to be the best solution for his current dilemma, but it might impose many restrictions later on.

Seeing Chu Xiu's furrowed brow, Zhao Jie patted his shoulder, comforting him: "No need to rush; after all, there are still three months to prepare."

"Moreover, aside from the three major factions, there are still plenty of secondary factions that will certainly extend an olive branch to you, such as our government, the four major families, the Mountain View Building, etc. Though they lack a Celestial King, there are many strong demigods among them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu nodded and stopped fretting. He looked at Zhao Jie and said, "Brother Zhao, I have a favor to ask."

Zhao Jie replied, "Brother Chu, just say it; you saved my life, no need for such formalities."

With no outsiders present at this moment, he addressed Chu Xiu by his real name.

Chu Xiu without hesitation raised his hand, instantly surrounding them with a vast amount of Huaxia Coins and supplies!

"These are items I don't need, totaling nearly three billion Huaxia Coins; please help me handle them, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Jie laughed, "I thought it was some major matter; this is within our Investigation Bureau's purview, and naturally I won't refuse."

He swiftly waved his hand to collect them all, saying, "With these resources, we can equip the Titan Giant Mechanism with more advanced weaponry, making it likely that more students will choose to stay."

Chu Xiu further requested: "Please, Brother Zhao, help me find suitable strong individuals."

Zhao Jie nodded, "Alright, the Investigation Bureau has already begun preparations for this; within a week I'll send you a complete list... Senior Vengeance has been diligently monitoring Ashtar, so let's not bother him. Let's add each other as friends in Abyss City; I'll give you the documents there, and we can conveniently communicate if anything arises."

"Okay." Chu Xiu nodded.

The two quickly split off a sliver of consciousness to enter Abyss City, adding contact information within.

Zhao Jie said, "By the way, since you're here, why not pay a visit to the Mountain View Building."

"There are plenty of money-is-no-object madmen in the Mountain View Building; perhaps you could hire a few suitable thugs."

After saying this, Zhao Jie no longer lingered and hurriedly left.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, stood pondering for a while before heading towards the Mountain View Building as Zhao Jie suggested.

His words were indeed correct; if urgent combat power is needed, the Mountain View Building is indeed a very good choice.

Additionally, Chu Xiu wants to purchase a new identity; the Sun King's advice still echoes in his ears, as the identity of Qin Yu must no longer be used.

Soon, a seven-story building with distinct oriental features appeared in front of him.
