The wide opening of the World Gate had brought in an enormous amount of resources, especially higher-level "Rules" and "Laws."
In the past, a city having one or two Rule-level items in reserve was already remarkable. Under normal circumstances, they were supposed to be handed over to the provincial government.
But during that Valastarod, the Silent Mountain Range World incident, Lu PingAn alone had brought back several Rule-level items and quite a few Quasi-Rules.
Of course, such things were exceedingly rare. Unless a world was on the verge of destruction and both "Truth" and "Rules" were trying to find ways to flee, high-end items were incredibly difficult to obtain under normal circumstances.
Still, this haul was already more than lucrative enough.
Under any circumstances, a Rule-level item was extraordinarily precious, especially to the Gu City Official.
"You can choose one yourself? From over thirty items?! Damn, are they really that rich?"
When Lu PingAn received the internal news, even he was stunned.
But considering how many people Ancient City had sent to the Silent Mountain Range and other worlds this time, it seemed fairly normal.
The greatest difference between official channels and private ones was "having plenty to choose from." Rule-level items were great, but most of the time, it was unlikely that one could obtain the specific "Rule" they needed.
