Splitting into Two Groups-Make-up Update

Before Gu Ding's eyes, a page resembling a shopping website appeared, while the female voice in his ear provided further instructions.

"On this page, you can see all items within your points limit. Items exceeding your points limit will not be displayed. Your current points are 480 million, so you cannot see any items exceeding 480 million points."

"On this page, you can also filter by many criteria. For example, if you only want five-star divine items, you can enter 'five-star divine items' in the filter. After filtering, the page will only display items of five-star divine item level, and items of other grades will not be displayed. Or, if you want weapons, you can directly enter 'weapons' in the filter, and other items will not be displayed."

"I won't disturb your selection now. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

After the explanation was finished, Gu Ding didn't know where to start for a moment. In the past, the Sea Emperor had done these things for him.

A moment later, Gu Ding heard the Sea Emperor's voice.

"This place is practically an all-purpose general store; it sells almost everything I can think of. It took me more than half a minute to scan the entire list of items." "Of course, based on your points, I have already completed the selection of the best reward plan." As the Sea Emperor spoke, he transmitted all the information about the items he had selected for Gu Ding into Gu Ding's mind.

"Pseudo Spiritual Object level glove? This kind of thing won't have much impact on my Combat Strength, right?" Gu Ding looked at the first item the Sea Emperor had chosen for him and was filled with doubt.

"These are not ordinary gloves; they are called Holy Light. They possess the attribute of light. They double your attack speed and also have the effects of dispelling curses and healing. Although you yourself have immunity to dark curses, if your companions are cursed, you can use these gloves to dispel them."

"Alright then, but I don't need Pseudo Spiritual Object- level armor, do I? In combat, my physical strength is already above that of a five-star Peak-rank God." Gu Ding then saw the second item and offered a different opinion.

"This time, our opponents are Alien Race, not humans, so the stronger our defenses, the better. This armor is called the Azure Jade Wood Armor. When the host's body suffers severe damage, it will automatically secrete Azure Jade Wood Marrow, which carries strong life force, to penetrate into the host's body, accelerating the healing of injuries and reducing the drain on divine energy." "It's a bead condensed within the body of a two-star demonic beast, the Deep Sea Giant Whale. After the Deep Sea Giant Whale dies, all its blood and energy flow into this bead. You can use these beads to cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body."

"I think it would be better to replace them all with pearls from inside the giant whale..." Gu Ding offered his opinion.

"In the long run, it would be best to exchange them all for Deep Sea Whale Pearls, but now that you're about to enter the ruins, getting two pieces of equipment directly will have a better effect on improving your overall Combat Strength. In the next few days, you won't even be able to absorb all 3,600+ Deep Sea Whale Pearls, so buying more would just be a waste," the Sea Emperor explained. "The exchange plan I've given you is the optimal one after precise calculations, which can maximize your Combat Strength in the short term."

"Alright, then we'll do it your way." Gu Ding nodded after hearing the Sea Emperor's explanation.

After selecting the items, Gu Ding clicked the "Confirm" button, instantly reducing his more than four billion points to less than one hundred thousand.

"I'd like to know when I'll receive the rewards I've chosen?" Gu Ding asked the female voice. "The items I've selected are unlikely to be in stock on this planet."

Gu Ding said this because Pseudo Spiritual Object are indeed rare in the Real World. The administrator here is only a High-rank God, and pseudo-enlightenment cannot exert its corresponding power in his hands.

"Don't worry about that. Whatever item you choose, you'll get it today. You'll just need to wait a little while. Now you can invite the second person in."

After explaining, the woman directly told Gu Ding to leave.

Gu Ding shrugged helplessly, pushed open the door, and walked out.

He had just stepped out when the door closed automatically. Billington swiped his hand again, and the door opened again.

"Who's second? Hurry up and go in!" Gu Ding looked at the remaining people.

"I'll go second," Liliath volunteered and stepped inside.

Following the Sea Emperor 'Sea Emperor instructions, Liliath quickly selected the items as requested. She had originally planned to choose something randomly, but considering the danger of the ruins, she decided to follow the Sea Emperor's plan. This saved her considerable time, and she emerged in less than five minutes.

Following that, Elsa and Dokter both made their choices as required by the Sea Emperor.

The last one to enter was Miko. He couldn't see the screen, so the Sea Emperor chose two Pseudo Spiritual Object for him: a defensive armor and a pseudo-comprehension-level soul amplification bell.

The reason for choosing items that enhance the soul is that the creation of the formation requires powerful soul energy. Moreover, the small bell itself has a protective function for the soul.

After the selection was completed, the group, led by Billington, returned to the original drawing room.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. The rewards will be delivered soon. But in the meantime, there's something else I need to say." Billington's previously cheerful expression turned slightly serious. "Actually, I don't know what kind of mission you received from headquarters. My authority isn't sufficient to know such things, and of course, I don't want to know myself. But I have received orders from my superiors, instructing me that those who receive the rewards must use the teleportation array to reach the Federal Government Headquarters Plaza within two days."

"We understand. Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you. Actually, our purpose in coming here isn't entirely for the rewards." Gu Ding nodded. He knew that the Federal Government's cautious arrangements indicated that the ruins were indeed extraordinary. Besides, he had entered the virtual world specifically for those ruins, and at the time, he hadn't even known that the first thousand players in this virtual world could receive rewards.

Gu Ding's quick agreement surprised Billington, and he finally felt relieved. He had been worried from the beginning that Gu Ding and his group would take the reward and leave. With his own strength, he couldn't stop Gu Ding; if he did, the entire planet would likely be in danger.

Less than ten minutes later, Billington's watch beeped. "Your things are ready. I'll go get them. Please sit for a while longer."

Gu Ding nodded. "It's alright, it'll only take a few minutes."

Billington left quickly, and about five minutes later Billington returned, taking things out one by one from his Storage Space.

Gu Ding and the others also put their rewards back into their own Storage Space.

"Mr. Billington, we'll come back tomorrow, and you can activate the teleportation array for us then." Gu Ding looked at Billington.

"Sure." Billington agreed readily. He didn't think Gu Ding would escape, because in terms of strength, Gu Ding far surpassed him, and there was absolutely no need for them to do something so sneaky. If they didn't want to go, they could simply turn their backs and leave in their spaceship, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it, but they didn't do that.

After leaving the Federal Hall, Gu Ding and his group returned to the spaceship at the port.

When they passed by the tavern they had visited before, many people saw them reappear unharmed, and the Federal Hall remained calm with no sounds of fighting. Everyone was quite surprised.

"It seems they're not going to occupy the Federal Hall and seize ownership of this planet..." one person sighed, sounding rather disappointed.

Once back on the spaceship, Gu Ding and the others sat together in the living room.

"This time, entering the ruins will likely take quite a while, so what should we do with the others during that time?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. "Billington said we'll be using a teleportation array, and our final destination after teleporting is the Federal Government Headquarters located in the Undersea Forbidden Zone, should the others sail directly into the Undersea Forbidden Zone, or what?"

"Staying put in place is definitely not feasible. Firstly, it would make us an easy target for enemies, and secondly, it would waste our travel time. Our stay at the ruins will certainly be quite long, so staying there is not a solution," Miko, offering her suggestion.

"However, it would probably take several months to go directly into the Undersea Forbidden Zone. Moreover, entering the Undersea Forbidden Zone like this would mean skipping the Deep Sea Zone, which would completely deviate from our original itinerary." Liliath was reluctant to omit the Deep Sea Zone process.

"How about this, the spaceship will continue on its original route, without changing the planned itinerary. Our group heading to the outer realms can find a way to reunite with everyone after the ruins close," Gu Ding suggested a compromise.

"That works too. We can all find a suitable place to meet up then." Bigge nodded. "That way, everyone can do their own thing and not interfere with each other."

"Then it's settled!" Everyone else agreed with this approach.

After the discussion was completed, Gu Ding once again entered Robert's domain. He did not waste any time for cultivation and began to consume deep-sea whale pearls to cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body.
