My Core is the Boss

In the main hall, Qi Yuan stood calmly. His voice carried a seductive quality, making him appear almost like a heavenly god. What he had just said made him resemble a compassionate holy father grieving for the suffering of the world.

However, those who heard his words were baffled.

The seventh prince maintained a respectful expression. "You are correct, Mr. Qi. This world is far too chaotic, filled with slaughter and oppression. From this moment onward, we shall advocate for an end to war. As for your wish to give grandfathers and grandmothers to the people, we will fully support your cause and devote all our strength to it!"

After all, his first response was almost always, "Mr. Qi is right."

"The royal family sure is perceptive," Qi Yuan praised before fully revealing his plan. "My robot will be dedicating itself to creating a website called Grandpa Delivery Net. As for why it's not called Grandma Delivery Net, it's not because of gender politics, but because 'milk delivery' would easily cause people to misunderstand the positioning of our website.[1]

"I have to announce this website to the entire nation. I'll need your family's help spreading the word. Try to place it during prime time. Oh right, and you absolutely must include it during the weather forecast broadcasts."

The seventh prince didn’t even hesitate. "There is absolutely no problem. Leave it to us!"

As for Qi Yuan's purpose, he did not ask. Could he even ask? A powerhouse of this level could do whatever he wanted.

Qi Yuan explained seriously, "There's another matter. Once the website has been promoted, everyone will have to mail me a drop of their blood. I'll screen them, and if they're a match, I'll give them some grandfathers and grandmothers.

"If they're not a match, I'll still uphold the spirit of great love and suffer a slight loss by calling them my grandson or granddaughter. Such is fairness. We can't neglect anyone. Everyone must receive a response!"

If their blood was suitable, they would gain a Nascent Soul grandparent. If not, then sorry—he could only use kind words to fill the void left by familial affection.

The seventh prince immediately understood that it would be an enormous undertaking, with the potential danger being dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of establishing the grand formation. After all, giving one's blood to a mysterious immortal cultivator was inherently dangerous.

Nevertheless, he was fully on Qi Yuan’s side. "You are absolutely right, Mr. Qi. However, there might be some who are unwilling to offer their blood to you..."

Qi Yuan spread his hands. "Well, I am broke. If they're unwilling, then we simply aren’t fated."

He was so broke that he couldn't even afford to buy Arch Star. Besides, one couldn't possibly expect to get paid on top of receiving free grandparents. That would be too good to be true.

Gritting his teeth, the seventh prince said with utmost seriousness, "We’ll contribute some funds to support you. The national treasury will also reserve a portion of funds to assist you."

He couldn’t possibly offer some lackluster support. If Qi Yuan ended up giving away grandparents and nobody signed up, wouldn't that be extremely awkward? Hence, he had already thought of using money to entice people.

Anyone who mailed in their blood through proper channels would receive a subsidy of five hundred dollars. The amount wasn't much to the wealthy, but it was still highly attractive to ordinary people and the poor. He was sure this would attract many not-so-well-off participants. The rich probably wouldn't bother.

Qi Yuan asked casually, "Wouldn't that mean most participants would be broke? In Qin Yuan, which group is larger—the rich or the poor?"

He didn't care much about the exact process, as long as the results were right.

"According to statistics, there are more people with fewer assets."

Qi Yuan seemed smug. "As long as there are many people, that's enough. Proceed according to your plan. Haa... I'm truly a good person. Not only am I giving people a chance to have grandparents, I'm also giving them money."

Canary stood beside Qi Yuan, gazing at him fondly. She seemed to find joy in anything he did.

Qi Yuan said, "If they're a match, the grandfather or grandmother they receive will be their immortal opportunity."

The seventh prince's heart stirred, and his heartbeat accelerated. "Immortal opportunity?"

Within the side hall, Wang Kaixiang appeared rather strange. "Qi Yuan... Champion of the previous Martial Arts Tournament."

Just moments ago, he had secretly left the side hall and taken a look at the visitor. Using powerful search tools, he was astonished to discover that Qi Yuan was a native who had won the Martial Arts Tournament. He truly couldn’t comprehend why the royal family would value Qi Yuan so highly.

Wang Kaixiang also watched the footage of the tournament finals. "His strength is also average."

In the video, Qi Yuan blasted his opponent into a bloody mist with a single punch. Such power was already beyond the realm of ordinary humans.

Wang Kaixiang found it truly bizarre. "Martial arts do have their merits, but at this level, it doesn't even reach Foundation Establishment..."

If immortal cultivation had not yet descended, he could understand why a martial artist as powerful as Qi Yuan would attract the royal family's attention. But now, cultivators were as numerous as carp crossing the river. What qualifications did Qi Yuan have?

"However, judging by the seventh prince's attitude toward him, it might be worthwhile to make contact. Perhaps through him, I can persuade the royal family about the grand formation!"

Meanwhile, within the main hall, Qi Yuan and the seventh prince discussed the details of the plan.

Qi Yuan looked at the prince with approval. "The plan is perfect now. All that remains is implementation."

The seventh prince was talented. He supplemented and refined Qi Yuan's plan, patching up its flaws. "We will definitely support it with all our strength."

"Alright then, I'll wait for your good news. I should head back now. Bye bye."

Qi Yuan glanced at Canary. She wrapped her arms around Qi Yuan, and the two vanished from the hall in that instant.
