Return
The light and shadow receded like the tide, and Su Luo felt a slight discomfort beneath her feet, a sensation unique to the Land of Darkness.
Without the Epic- level [Tinder] doubling of the amplification, the surrounding energy instantly became arrogant, no longer resembling the firearms it had been just moments before.
Su Luo returned without lingering. She paused slightly, sensed the location Spell, confirmed her position, and then soared into the sky, flying swiftly towards the direction of Guizishi and Jing Yunxin's Sanctuary.
He had to unload the cargo as soon as possible. The two Sanctuary frames, which he had packed like compressed biscuits, were not only filled with high-value wreckage and samples brought back from the battlefield, but also with core components of his Laboratory. They were packed so tightly that they might explode if anyone touched them.
Soon, the outline of Jing Yunxin's Sanctuary, which still emitted a soft white light even in its damaged state, came into view.
A person was already standing nearby, looking up at the Sanctuary's somewhat desolate "skeleton"—the once smooth white exterior walls were gone.
Instead, the frame was densely packed with all sorts of oddly shaped metals and debris, shimmering with different lusters... like a compressed towel that expands and grows taller when it gets wet.
"Consultant Su!" the man greeted him warmly.
It was Qin Lang. This minister in charge of logistics had obviously used a teleportation scroll to arrive here immediately after the Continued Battle ended to assess the damage.
But now there's no need for an evaluation. Qin Lang noted this down in his notebook:
A rough estimate suggests that restoring this level 7 Sanctuary to its original level would require materials roughly equivalent to those Sanctuary.
"Minister Qin, it's been a long time... could you show me the situation of this District War?"
As Su Luo took things off the shelf, she glanced at the list Qin Lang handed her.
A total of seven groups, comprising sixty-four professionals, participated in the District War, with only one group failing to advance to the Continued Battle due to unforeseen circumstances.
The three deaths were all caused by extreme tactics employed by other world teams during the Continued Battle.
Five other individuals suffered a "Severe Punishment" – a permanent reduction in Attribute points – because their Sanctuary triggered a "Near-Destruction Teleportation" during a high-intensity battle.
Regarding the points redemption, apart from "Number One Group" where Su Luo and Song Shige were located, only the group led by Xi Ji broke through the 100-point threshold and successfully redeemed [1 Diamond Chest for all members].
Other groups typically have between 30 and 80 points, which are mainly used to redeem [Gold Chest for All] and [Iron Chest for All].
It's worth noting that there's a redemption limit for chest-type rewards in the team points shop this time.
Not only can each group only redeem a [Diamond Chest] once, but the limit for [Gold Chests ] is 5 and the limit for [Iron Chests ] is 10. This means that even if a group has a lot of points, it is impossible to infinitely farm a certain tier of chests.
Therefore, the treasure chest resources in Zone 76 this time are as follows: [Diamond Chest] ×2, [Gold Chest] ×30, [Iron Chest] ×67...
Zone 76 currently has over 11,000 people, close to 12,000, and everyone has the aforementioned items.
The high-quality items, Skill Books, and rare materials obtained from Diamond Chests can greatly satisfy the current needs of all professions for top-tier equipment and skill upgrades, and even have a large surplus.
Su Luo gently placed the dismantled Mana Pool on the open ground to the side, feeling that there was no rush to rebuild the Laboratory, as there would be better materials later, and so many Diamond Chests.
The abundance of resources was within his expectations, but seeing the actual data still made him realize what it meant for the entire region—the gains from a single District War had almost cleared away most of the resource obstacles on Zone 76's path toward "universal professionalization."
With such a solid physical foundation, the Mutual Aid Association's upcoming contribution system, skills training, and resource allocation plan will be able to expand at an unprecedented speed and scale.
Su Luo finished unloading in a few quick movements and was just about to take off.
"Consultant Su, please send us the list of supplies you need shortly."
Qin Lang called out to Su Luo.
"The Council is currently in a meeting. While distributing such a massive number of treasure chests is undoubtedly a great thing, direct allocation or distribution based entirely on original contributions could lead to problems—resource devaluation, market chaos, and most people possessing resources but unable to utilize them effectively, or it could stimulate unnecessary hoarding and speculation. Our initial idea is to establish a more refined 'contribution point recovery and targeted exchange' channel."
Qin Lang paused, then continued:
"For example, we could implement a contribution system where regional contributions can be exchanged for specific resources or designated types of items; establish a 'special loan' service to support members with clear improvement plans but insufficient short-term resources, repayable with Future contributions; and organize large-scale 'resource integration and development' events to gather high-level materials and invite advanced professionals or members with relevant Talents to mass-produce standardized equipment or functional buildings to enhance overall strength..."
"Lending? True. With a large enough scale, the ability to withstand risk and operational efficiency will indeed undergo a qualitative change. Management must be extremely focused; the credit system, risk assessment, and contractual guarantees must all keep pace..."
Su Luo nodded in agreement and then made a suggestion.
"Understood. This is just a preliminary idea and requires detailed research and trial implementation." Qin Lang carefully noted it down. "Also, Consultant Su, regarding the Mana transformation of the Production Line you mentioned before, and the Martial Will will awakening auxiliary device... you know, those silver-rimmed glasses... these projects will also require you to set aside some time later."
"These things aren't urgent. I need to organize my own things and also systematically study the basics of Alchemy and higher energy; otherwise, many of my ideas will remain just on paper."
"I still need to Out-of-Zone Exploration... I'll send you the feasible technical approaches and materials list once I've compiled them. Right now, just processing these treasure chests and adjusting the management structure will keep you busy for a while."
"So I'll be staying outside the district for the next few days, don't look for me... Where's your guild leader?" Su Luo calculated her tasks and felt like she was going to be busy as a dog, so she asked Song Shige.
"I'm in a meeting... Consultant Su, please continue with your work. You can send me the list of supplies anytime, and I will prioritize their allocation," Qin Lang replied.
Su Luo nodded and said no more. With a wave of his hand, he mobilized earth elements, which quickly "grew" a sturdy rock platform and framework on the open ground, and then left with a large pile of things.
After stopping by the Guizishi Sanctuary to unload the cargo, Su Luo returned to the 10,000 square kilometers of "empty land" that the Mutual Aid Association had helped vacate.
There is no light from Sanctuary here, only the most pristine landscape and slowly flowing energy.
Su Luo preferred quiet, so a ring of Black Flames swirled around the edge of this area, preventing monsters from entering.
