A Sage Who Does Not "Focus" on Fame and Fortune

Just as they were about to pat Brother Xiu Xian on the shoulder, signaling him to stop causing trouble and go back to sleep, they had a change of heart and decided to show their family member the utmost tolerance and trust.

"Did Qi Yuan have a breakthrough?"

"Look at him cultivating diligently in the middle of the night. What about you?"

The old father seized the opportunity to lecture about life's principles.

Normally, Brother Xiu Xian would have talked back sarcastically, but now he only wanted to share the earth-shattering news.

His face flushed red and his neck bulged as he exclaimed excitedly, "The monster in Trizodia has been eliminated!"

Whoa!

The other three wore exasperated expressions, thinking he must be delirious from lack of sleep.

They decided to go back to their rooms and scold him in the morning.

Brother Xiu Xian kept babbling on, but seeing his family members unmoved and returning to bed, he scratched the back of his head in confusion.

Wasn't this big news?

The appearance of an SSS-level Superhuman meant that humans had regained the upper hand.

Before the advent of superpowers, this would be equivalent to a country suddenly possessing nuclear weapons, allowing them to challenge other nations.

Was he too excited, or were his family members too nonchalant?

Similar scenes played out across regions in the dead of night, with awakened people looking at those who woke them as if they were idiots.

Meanwhile, in areas where it wasn't the middle of the night, cities were abuzz with activity.

Work and school be damned, people temporarily set aside their daily schedules to wait by their devices for an official announcement.

"Damn the officials, when are they going to make an announcement?"

A well-dressed boss paced in his office, fidgeting with his phone.

The white-collar workers in the office were frantically clicking their mice and tapping their keyboards, their expressions excited.

At first glance, one might think they were working feverishly, but a closer look at their screens would reveal they were all watching videos.

They left comments under the videos, discussing the content with other netizens.

[It's too noisy, the translation software can't recognize it. I can't understand, can anyone translate?]

[Seems to be the Dragon Country language, I saw someone comment about it.]

[When will the Association of Superpower Users make an announcement? I can't wait any longer!!!!]

[It's definitely real! There are quite a few videos, I've seen footage from different angles]

[The person above is right, if only they could edit the content a bit...]

[I wanted to say that too, but if it were me, I'd probably be too excited to edit the video.]

Seeing his subordinates chatting away without any sense of their position as employees or intention to present the PPT report to him, the boss could only open his phone and start scrolling.

After scrolling for who knows how long, the Association of Superpower Users posted a new announcement.

The boss took a deep breath, his heart pounding as he clicked on the announcement.

...

In the capital of Bitfostan,

The top brass of the Association of Superpower Users gathered, with those unable to attend in person connected via video.

"Everyone has seen the videos online," the President of the association said with a grim face. Despite the fact that a major threat to human survival had been resolved, he wore a somber expression as he continued, "This matter... has been confirmed."

Upon detecting this news, they immediately dispatched personnel to rush to Trizodia to verify the truth of the situation.

Now, the news had returned.

The people in the conference room wore complex expressions, remaining silent for a long time.

The President understood the delicacy of the situation and didn't pressure everyone to give their opinions immediately. Instead, he mentioned, "These are the on-site photos sent back by our personnel."

He signaled his Assistant to open the photos.

The ruins and debris after the battle in Trizodia, the empty space where half a city had disappeared, and the circular craters caused by spatial collapses...

The on-site evidence matched the content shown in the videos, leaving no room for them to deny reality.

In fact, they had a premonition in their hearts from the moment they were summoned to the meeting.

On their way, they had thought of many possibilities. While the death of the monster was undoubtedly a good thing, it also meant that the newly established alliance of the five major countries might become nominal.

More crucially, both individuals in the video were from the Dragon Country. If you included the woman who appeared later, that made three.

However, for the sake of more accurate data, they omitted the third person who hadn't displayed their abilities.

Qi Yuan alone had already disrupted the balance, cementing the Dragon Country's position in the monster-clearing alliance.

If you add two more SSS-level Superhumans, would the Dragon Country even need to play with them anymore?

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, once the Dragon Country establishes contact with the two SSS-level Superhumans, they would have the capability to clear all the monsters within their borders, and then extend their influence to other countries.

What the five major countries had previously done to Sakura Island could very likely be replicated.

And the targets of this replication would most likely be them.

Therefore, the association's top brass didn't even wait for the intelligence department to submit their video analysis before calling a high-level meeting.

Someone carefully considered before hesitantly speaking up, "The Dragon Country hasn't made contact with them yet, perhaps we still have a chance to win them over."

This statement wasn't baseless. If the Dragon Country had already established contact with the two, there wouldn't have been a large audience present.

The Dragon Country would only need to inform the Trizodian leadership, and the Trizodian authorities, who had been struggling with how to deal with the monster, would surely agree immediately.

Clearing the area would be the most basic step, and asking for some compensation wouldn't be unreasonable.

Moreover, these were two SSS-level Superhumans. If it were just one, they might keep them hidden out of concern for unexpected situations, but with two, what was there to fear?

Apart from the Dragon Country's traditional modesty, they couldn't think of any reason to keep them hidden.

Excluding that ridiculous reason, there was only one possibility left: the Dragon Country's officials didn't know these two superhumans either.

"He has a point," others chimed in. At this point, this was the only option left.

The fact that the two chose to deal with the monster quietly in the dead of night clearly showed they weren't interested in fame or fortune. It would be absurd to try to win them over with material benefits.

If it weren't for the Ancient God Cult leaking the information, causing young people to rush there recklessly, this incident might have occurred silently, unnoticed until Trizodia realized the monster was no longer expanding its territory.

By then, they wouldn't even know who had dealt with the monster or what they looked like.

People who don't seek fame or fortune are either driven by ideals and beliefs or by their way of life.

The former is easy to understand, and some of the latter can also be categorized as the former. For powerful individuals, daily life means making the world operate according to their preferences, which is also a kind of lifestyle.

These are the hardest people to win over, but also the easiest.

As long as their beliefs align closely enough, it might not be impossible to win them over.

The President wasn't entirely satisfied with this plan, but he didn't have a better solution. He made the final decision: "From today on, we'll start learning the Dragon Country language. We must achieve a level of fluency that allows for smooth conversation as soon as possible."

If they couldn't even communicate properly when they meet, how could they hope to win them over?

The top officials nodded seriously.

With the matter temporarily settled, they turned their attention to the intelligence department personnel who had been waiting.
