Sitting in his chair, Fang Zheng looked over the documents before him and nodded.
He had obtained these from White Night Yaksha, mainly to see what the Gift Games in this world were like. Now that he looked at them, the format of Gift Games in this world was fairly straightforward. Simply put, there were two types.
