Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1481 - 68: A Chance to Rise Amid Cruel Oppression, Frost Ash Association Branch, The Beginning of the Uprising (Part 2)

The slave servant still appeared as one with slave status, but compared to those living in the Slave Village, whether in living conditions or future prospects, it was a world apart. Especially serving as a servant in a noble household, even what flows from the owner’s nail crevices can benefit you endlessly. Sometimes, a step to the sky is just a matter of a word from the owner.

His elder grandson, Zhang Yuchuan, has a resolute character, agile mind, and is skillful in navigating situations. Most importantly, his talent is not lacking either. He broke through the Earth-digging Realm Limit at fifteen and began reshaping his skin with Beast Blood. Restricted by resource supply, his basic strength reached over 90,000 pounds at seventeen, yet he hadn’t broken through.

At that time, Zhang Qinggu knew that the Old Zhang Family had finally produced a genius.

The elder grandson’s Battle Body Talent is conservatively estimated to be superior, and it might even be a top-grade Battle Body. Such astounding talent, combined with his shrewd disposition, was the core reason Zhang spent a fortune to send him to a noble household in the County City as a servant.

Over the past year or so, his elder grandson indeed did not disappoint him.

He sends a letter back every three months, and as per the latest letter, he had just broken through to the Cold Resistance Level with superior Battle Body Talent, his strength reaching 2.8 Manes, and now served as a close servant to the noble son in the mansion. Now, he is a first-class servant, with a monthly salary as high as 30 taels.

Zhang Qinggu is lacking in strength but has profound experience from his years. He once held dreams of making a name for himself and ventured to the Yanling County City for a few years, so he knows well that in a noble abode like the Chen Mansion, even the servants are ranked into seven levels. First-class servants are typically the close aides of the mansion’s nobles, equivalent to confidants of the master. In many people’s eyes, this is no different from making a name for oneself.

Ever since the news of the elder grandson becoming a first-class servant at the Chen Mansion reached Qingwu Village, people from the Subordinate Bureau began to treat him more politely. Those filthy people who previously liked to harass his two granddaughters also collected their vile intentions.

”Yuchuan will continue staying at the Chen Mansion, and his future holds potential, but ultimately, it depends on the master’s favor. Let him take leave and try his luck, even if it fails, he can return to the Chen Mansion later. Regardless of how prestigious the noble son at the Chen Mansion is, he absolutely cannot compare to this Lord Hong...”

During the recent inquiry at the main house, Zhang Qinggu had learned the unexpected gentleman he bumped into was named Hong Yu.

The name is secondary; the key is Zhang Qinggu clearly remembered that while he was gathering in the Snow Forest last night, Hong Yu flew to him with sky control.

”Sky control is a major ability that only a Xianyang Level expert possesses. The master Chen, Lord Adviser Chen in the Chen Mansion, also merely has Xianyang Level cultivation. If able to align with this Lord Hong, Yuchuan, Zhu’er, and Hong’er’s future potential is limitless!”

Zhang Qinggu was deeply moved, seeing that it was already daylight outside; he quickly tucked the envelope into his chest and headed toward the village’s Subordinate Bureau.

All around Chen Cang, Subordinate Bureaus had messengers set up. The messenger would periodically travel according to the distance, all letters needed passing through them. The cost is usually calculated by distance, the minimum being 3 taels of silver, and for special expedited situations, one needs to pay extra.

In the entire Qingwu Village, there hadn’t been a single expedited letter in years. Naturally, Zhang Qinggu didn’t have such resources, so once the letter was sent out, he could only wait for the scheduled opportunity of messenger travel to slowly reach over to the County City.

”Today is August 8th; under normal circumstances, Yuchuan should receive the letter by mid-October. Requesting leave as a servant may not be so easy; just patiently wait at home. The gentleman’s injury is severe, and he most likely won’t be leaving temporarily; hopefully, Yuchuan can come as soon as possible.”
