"When you first asked to interview me, I refused. Revealing inside information about a Treasure Ground Space is taboo among Awakeners. Leaking secrets might feel great now, but the big shots might not give you a spot next time."
"So why did I agree to the interview after all? Because Mr. Bai is a generous man. He's already said he doesn't mind."
"Ahem... Let's begin."
"I'm just an average Awakener. Sure, I've got an Elite Template, but my class has nothing special going for it, and no team wanted me. So I went solo. I'm free to do as I please—no fighting for supremacy, just farming. Life's been pretty comfortable."
"I applied for a spot in the Fengdu Treasure Ground through an old friend at the Super God Guild, figuring it was worth a try. Luckily, Mr. Bai generously gave me the chance."
"I got to stay an extra two days because I found someone crucial in the Fengdu Treasure Ground!"
"Keep it secret? No need. Mr. Bai told me I could tell everyone about this person, so Awakeners exploring Fengdu in the future can benefit too..."
Old Jiao gave a vivid account of how he had encountered Empress Xiao and her entourage in the Fengdu Treasure Ground.
Old Jiao was only a level-seven Elite Tier Awakener—cannon fodder in an S-Tier treasure ground. But he knew his limits. Once he had a rough grasp of Fengdu, he didn't rush blindly into Fengdu City. Instead, he found a vein of Evil Silver Ore outside the city and mined at his own pace. Occasionally, he even picked up a Baleful-Stained Gem or two, premium materials for crafting equipment.
At that rate, Old Jiao stood to make at least eight to ten thousand Psionic Points by the time he left three days later.
