The thing I pursued my entire life to decipher, now handed over to this kid for free. I don't know if that's good or bad for him.

But since this kid has a connection with me, I'll let fate decide~

I just wonder if this seemingly simple kid can successfully evolve.

"Let's go, find a place to sit and talk!"

"Master, what exactly do I need to fill these seven holes with?"

After finding a seat at a teahouse, Wang Qianduo, embodying a spirit of relentless inquiry, continued to ask.

"Elemental energy crystals, the higher the quality, the better!" Old Luo said mysteriously, pretending to sip his tea.

"Is it something like this?" Wang Qianduo took out the [Earth Elemental Energy Crystal] (Legendary) from his backpack and placed it on the table.

"Pfft!

Has no one ever taught you not to casually take out mech materials? Many things used for mechs have radiation and can be deadly. I haven't lived enough yet!"

Seeing Wang Qianduo directly produce a legendary-grade elemental crystal, Old Luo was so shocked he spat out his tea.

To cover his embarrassment, he could only find an excuse to criticize Wang Qianduo.

A legendary-grade Earth Elemental Crystal! If it wasn't wind-element, even I would be tempted. How did this foolish kid get it?

Wang Qianduo actually believed him, as no one had ever told him such things.

In fact, most players didn't know this information because their current levels couldn't access such materials.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master!" Wang Qianduo said, putting away the [Earth Elemental Energy Crystal].

"Just remember it from now on. Your item is indeed good, it can be inlaid," Old Luo said indifferently, not wanting to lose face in front of Wang Qianduo.

"No need, I have a better choice!" Wang Qianduo stated directly.

The VIP14 and VIP15 gift packs each gave him a set of epic-grade elemental crystals with all attributes. He truly didn't think much of this legendary one.

When Wang Qianduo saw this crown, he had a feeling, a feeling that this was the path he was looking for.

This feeling was very strange, like...

"Love at first sight!"

"Even... better!"

Although Old Luo tried his best to control himself, his voice still trembled slightly.

Could it be epic-grade elemental crystals? Aren't those core materials for interstellar flagships?

If he inlaid that, wouldn't he ascend to heaven? How could this kid possibly have it?

It shouldn't be, it should be something even better than legendary, this kid is quite wealthy!

He had originally planned to help this kid, give him a quest, and help him get a set of rare-grade ones to activate the crown.

Now it seems unnecessary!

No wonder he could see the crown quest I was about to issue. This might also be the crown's own choice.

Saved! Saved!

"What's wrong, Master?"

"N-nothing."

"By the way, Master, what element is the mech after evolving with this crown?"

"Intelligence. Aren't you an intelligence-type mech? Otherwise, you wouldn't have triggered this quest!" Old Luo replied.

"Oh, intelligence-type...

I didn't expect that I would ultimately walk the path of intelligence. How should I fabricate my lies then? I guess I need to learn some basic intelligence-type skills too."

"Alright, as long as you have a choice! After you inlay this thing, don't touch it for now.

Come to my mansion after you reach level 10. Here's the address. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!

If you encounter any difficulties, you can use the things I gave you to find Old Huang. You should know him.

Oh, and don't tell anyone about the crown and the elemental crystals. Just between you and me, understand?"

"Ah... Ah! I understand!"

After Old Luo finished speaking, he left immediately. He needed to go to a nightclub to calm his emotions, fearing he might not be able to control himself and snatch the item from the kid.

Wang Qianduo looked at the spot where he had disappeared, stroked his chin in thought, and then left as well.

Soon, he arrived at the warehouse and took out the seven epic-grade elemental crystals.

The legendary-grade Earth Elemental Crystal was already brilliant, but compared to the epic-grade ones, it was like a firefly next to the bright moon, not even on the same level.

After inlaying the seven epic crystals for Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Light, and Darkness into the crown through the virtual interface, the mysterious crown immediately underwent a transformation.

Its original unknown metal material changed into pure elemental energy, shimmering with pure white flowing light.

Its originally rugged shape also became refined!

But...

"Why did it turn out a bit effeminate?" Wang Qianduo complained, looking at the changed crown.

[Elemental Crown] (Epic):

All elements in the world, obey my command.

The introduction to the Elemental Crown was simple and direct, but surely no one would dare to underestimate those words.

After storing the Elemental Crown, whose appearance he found somewhat displeasing, Wang Qianduo set up a stall to buy basic intelligence-based skills, and then logged off.

He had already decided to go down the intelligence path, and was now just waiting to level up to 10.

In fact, he had had some thoughts when he was initially hesitating about going down the agility path.

He simply couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a mage!

However, he'd worry about the main quest tomorrow; it was too late today.

The next day

It was a workday. After clocking in and brewing a cup of tea, Wang Qianduo sat at his desk and opened Weibo. The first thing that caught his eye was:

#Revealing Shan Hai Expert Qian Wang# HOT!

If it weren't for the ability to slack off openly, why would he have strived to reach his current position?

But what was going on? Why was he trending?

"Wang Qianduo, come to my office!"

Just as he was taking a sip of tea, preparing to understand the whole story, he suddenly heard that familiar and pleasant voice.

Wang Jun then gave Wang Qianduo a sympathetic glance, as if to say, "Good luck!"

"Leader, you were looking for me? May I ask what it's about?" Wang Qianduo entered Lin Qimeng's office and looked at the stunning beauty before him, who was impossibly beautiful.

Lin Qimeng's attire today was still a simple white shirt and a professional skirt, with black high heels.

This simple outfit perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure, with curves where they should be and bulges where they should be.

Especially those black silk legs, they were simply T0 level.

Too much cannot be said, in short, she was so perfect that one couldn't look away.

However, Old Wang knew that the woman before him was not simple, so he only admired her in his mind, forcibly withdrawing his gaze.

"Our great expert doesn't need to be so polite with me, have a seat!" Lin Qimeng said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Old Wang immediately found a seat. It seemed she had something to ask of him!

"Do you know you're trending?" Lin Qimeng said, looking at him after he sat down.

"Just found out. Is this... the company's doing?" Wang Qianduo frowned when this matter was brought up.

Shan Hai hadn't notified him of this news in advance. If they were the ones operating this, it would be quite unreasonable.

Lin Qimeng: "Half and half. The sensation you caused by dropping bombs was too big, it directly sent you to the trending list. The company just announced that you are part of Shan Hai.

However, not notifying you in advance is indeed inexcusable. You will receive triple your salary this month as compensation for this matter.

There will also be a bonus of 50,000, which is the reward for killing the boss this time."

The person who managed this Weibo event wasn't her, otherwise, the matter of not notifying Wang Qianduo in advance wouldn't have happened.

Wang Qianduo said nothing. As a wage earner, such things were too normal; he was already used to it...

"Is there anything else?" Wang Qianduo asked indifferently, his mood clearly not the best.

"Do you want to go to the game department? They really want a master like you to join them."

"I know my own level. Right now, it's just an equipment advantage. Once the other experts get their gear, my true colors will be revealed. I'll pass on the game department!" Wang Qianduo thought for a moment and shook his head.

"That's good, because I wasn't planning on letting you go anyway. Anything the game department can offer, I can offer you here.

If you wish, you can delegate your unimportant tasks.

I have already applied for you to be able to log into the game at any time during company hours, with your position and benefits unchanged.

And there will be bonuses for contributions made in the game. How do you think I've been treating you?" Lin Qimeng asked with a smile.

"You've definitely been treating me well, but will the company agree to this? Are you... abusing your power?"

Lin Qimeng: "What are you thinking? Don't worry, the company's emphasis on 'Mecha Era' is much higher than you imagine!

This game is the future trend, and also the current opportunity.

It's just that your position is a bit special, and there are some things I'm not at ease entrusting to others. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to come in at all; you could just work from home."
