Extreme Home

Chen Hao entered the second-floor audiovisual room. After entering the Extreme Home website, a massive 200-foot screen appeared on the wall.

Upon entering Extreme Home, Chen Hao verified his fingerprint, and his personal information appeared.

Name: Chen Hao

Gender: Male

Address: Mingyue Community, Yi'an District, Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia Nation

Warrior Certificate Number: 426123205608010086

Rank: Warrior (Beginner)

Contribution Points: 0

Currency Balance: 100,000,000 Huaxia Currency

Immediately afterward, he received two new emails.

The first email explained the 100 million in startup funds. Zhuge Tao's assistant had sent him an explanatory video.

The second email was also a video, except this one featured a beautiful woman introducing him to the functions within Extreme Home, the internal network of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

As Chen Hao listened to her explanation, he nodded to himself. It seemed there was not much difference from what he remembered.

However, he had no use at all for one-on-one guidance from War God Rank experts. As for contribution points, he would need to go to the Wilderness Zone and hunt monsters himself to earn them.

That meant the only things he could use right now were equipment and medicine.

He entered the Warrior Forum and browsed the Warrior Basic Knowledge Database, downloading information on how to recover various monster materials and which parts could be collected from monsters.

Those would be useful once he headed into the wilderness. For him, posts such as 50 Questions on Warriors Hunting Monsters, Wilderness Survival Knowledge, and 28 Ways to Escape Death were even more useful.

He downloaded all the content onto his phone, intending to study it carefully when he had the time.

He clicked into the online store, where all kinds of categories appeared. He selected the secret manuals section—attack type.

The moment he clicked it, a series of names appeared.

World Annihilation:

Category: Spear technique.

Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency. First level: 200 million Huaxia Currency.

Nine Heavens Thunder Blade:

Category: Blade technique.

Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency. First four levels: 500 million Huaxia Currency.

Phantom Blade Art:

Category: Blade technique.

Price: 10 billion Huaxia Currency. The first two levels cost 200 million Huaxia Currency.

Beside Nine Heavens Thunder Blade and World Annihilation was a warning: Ultimate techniques were extremely difficult to cultivate and even harder to begin! Please choose carefully!

Since he had already obtained two Copy Cards, he needed to cultivate both spear and blade techniques. The spear technique was for comprehending Artistic Conception.

The blade technique, meanwhile, was for training his force exertion methods. He then purchased the first level of World Annihilation, the first four levels of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and the first two levels of Phantom Blade Art.

Nine Heavens Thunder Blade came with its own movement technique and Guidance Technique. Buying one manual was equivalent to buying three, giving him multiple benefits at once.

World Annihilation could help him comprehend Artistic Conception and perhaps even a domain.

Phantom Blade Art could help him practice his movement technique and verify his blade technique. These three were enough.

The monitor then displayed: Yes/No? Please confirm whether you wish to purchase the first four levels of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, the first level of World Annihilation, and the first two levels of Phantom Blade Art. Another prompt appeared afterward: since this was his first purchase, the contribution point requirement would be waived, allowing him to enjoy the lowest price directly.

There was nothing to consider. Only an idiot would pass up a bargain, especially when he was short on money. He immediately clicked "Confirm."

"Please verify with your fingerprint to confirm once more."

Chen Hao placed his finger on the fingerprint scanner built into the wireless keyboard.

"Beep."

"Fingerprint verification passed. Purchase successful. Payment deducted. The three manuals above will be delivered to your home within twenty-four hours." Prompts appeared one after another on the screen.

After buying the manuals, he opened the items section—Weapons and Combat Suits—then found the Blood Shadow Series 2 Battle Sword. An A1 Level model cost 100,000 Huaxia Currency, an A2 model cost 500,000, an A3 model cost 1 million, an A4 model cost 2 million, and an A5 model went straight up to 6 million.

Looking at the expensive equipment, he secretly clicked his tongue. Fortunately, he had the Fusion Panel. Models bought for a few hundred could be synthesized into A1 Level equipment.

Unfortunately, his mental power had been insufficient before, so he had failed to complete Nine-Grid Synthesis. Now, though, it should not be much of a problem.

He also had an idea, though he did not know whether it would work. If it did, he would be able to keep his wealth hidden.

At Extreme Home, he bought an A4 Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword and a B5 Model shield. He then spent another 200,000 on a backpack and a Combat Communication Watch.

He also spent 6 million on a D4 Series combat suit. It was a full three times more expensive than a battle sword of the same grade, but this would be his only purchase of one; he would never buy another in the future. Altogether, he spent 8.2 million.

Because he had no contribution points, he could not enjoy the half-price discount on equipment. Although Extreme Home claimed to keep everything confidential, he would probably still be monitored by Extreme Headquarters.

If he acquired other equipment later, he would likely arouse suspicion. That was why he had decided he had to make this purchase now. In the future, he would buy as little as possible here and save wherever he could.

He shut down the computer and left the audiovisual room. The manuals and equipment he had ordered would arrive within twenty-four hours, but he could not just sit around and wait.

After thinking it over, he decided to visit a mold shop. Now that he had Martial Artist status, he could also go to the Underground Alliance and buy a batch of beginner Warrior gear. His strength was enough to ensure his safety.

After locking the villa, he headed to the entrance of the community. Though he was fast, traveling without a vehicle was still inconvenient.

So he hailed a taxi to take him to a car dealership, where he ordered a Mercedes-Benz S600. Having Martial Artist privileges really was convenient.

Even though he did not know how to drive, someone immediately taught him on the spot. A Martial Artist's control over his body far surpassed that of an ordinary person, not to mention that he had been an experienced driver in his previous life. Once he became familiar with it, they directly issued him a driver's license.

By the time he received his license, the license plate and all the paperwork for the car had already been completed. The dealership even gave him a free tank of fuel.

Chen Hao drove straight to the Underground Alliance according to his phone's navigation. It was one of the Five Great Powers, the HR Alliance's local base.

Although it was not the main city district's base, its location in Yangzhou City was still exceptionally luxurious. In the central commercial district of Yangzhou City stood a thirty-story skyscraper, with two enormous English letters—HR—displayed dazzlingly on its exterior.

More than a hundred armed soldiers patrolled around the building. Outsiders were forbidden from entering.

Of course, outsiders referred to ordinary people without records. Martial Artists were naturally excluded, since the HR Alliance's main clients were Martial Artists.
