Perfect Grade Mission Evaluation, Unlocking the Hive Base and City-wide Surveillance

"Martial Soul Hall?"

Right, how could he have forgotten? The madman before him had even dared to kidnap the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and forced her to sign an IOU. He clearly didn't care about offending anyone.

If he refused, this man would truly go to find Bibi Dong.

Given the ambition and strength of Martial Soul Hall, they would be even more reckless and spare no cost than he would! By then, let alone the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, whether the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could even continue to exist would be a question!

He had no choice in this matter.

Qin Feng had never given him any room to choose from the very beginning.

"Father! Don't listen to him! He's just bluffing us!" Ning Rongrong was on the verge of tears; she had never seen her father look so utterly dejected and soul-lost.

Ning Fengzhi ignored his daughter. He slowly raised his head to look at Qin Feng, his eyes—once sharp and wise—now filled only with a gambler's madness.

"Fine."

A single word, as if it had drained every ounce of strength from his body.

"I'll sign."

"Sect Master!"

"You cannot!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong cried out in unison.

They could tolerate the Sect Master waiting in line, and they could tolerate the Sect Master apologizing, but they absolutely could not tolerate him gambling the very foundation of the entire sect on a vague and ethereal future!

"Say no more."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.

He bent down and picked up the agreement; those few thin sheets of paper felt as heavy as a mountain in this moment.

He walked to the console and picked up the pen.

"Father! Don't!" Ning Rongrong rushed over, trying to snatch the agreement away.

"Stop her," Ning Fengzhi commanded without looking back.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong flickered, blocking Ning Rongrong's path.

He looked at Ning Fengzhi's back, his old face filled with pain and struggle, but in the end, he reached out and gently pressed down on Ning Rongrong's shoulders.

"Rongrong, listen to your father."

"Bone Grandpa! Even you..." Ning Rongrong's tears broke like a dam; she didn't understand why everyone had gone mad.

Ning Fengzhi hesitated no longer.

Scratch, scratch, scratch.

The tip of the pen glided across the paper, leaving behind a signature that would shake the entire commercial world of the continent.

The moment he wrote the final stroke and pressed his thumbprint, Sword Douluo Chen Xin closed his eyes, and the long sword in his hand let out a mournful cry.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong sighed toward the heavens, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

An era had come to an end at this very moment.

"Very good." Qin Feng took the agreement, blew on the ink, and casually handed it to Grey Wolf behind him. "Brother Wolf, file this."

"Another piece of scrap paper." Grey Wolf took it and disdainfully stuffed it into a box labeled "Pending Files."

Ning Fengzhi watched this scene, a complex mix of emotions swirling in his heart. He had gambled everything, and in return, he had only earned a piece of "scrap paper" in the other party's filing box.

"Boss Qin, I've signed the agreement." Ning Fengzhi's voice was hoarse. "Now, can you give me the technology for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."

"No rush." Qin Feng interrupted him. "I never trust empty checks; I only believe in things I can see and touch."

He pulled a palm-sized, strangely shaped silver metal disc from his pocket and tossed it to Ning Fengzhi.

"This is the down payment."

Ning Fengzhi caught it instinctively. The disc felt ice-cold in his hand, featuring several complex scales and a single button.

"This is...?"

"A Universal Frequency Converter, entry-level version," Qin Feng explained indifferently. "Stick it onto the target you need to support, then release your martial soul. It will automatically scan the other party's soul power frequency and then 'frequency-modulate' your support soul power to achieve lossless amplification."

Lossless amplification!

Ning Fengzhi's heart began to pound wildly. He gripped the disc tightly and looked at Gu Rong behind him.

"Uncle Gu Rong, you come here."

Gu Rong walked over, his expression still grim. He didn't believe for a second that this little gadget could be so miraculous.

Ning Fengzhi stuck the disc onto Gu Rong's chest.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, emerge!"

He let out a low shout, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his palm.

"First Soul Skill, Power Amplification!"

A brilliant beam of light shot out from the tower, enveloping Gu Rong.

The moment the light touched Gu Rong's body, the scale on the silver disc spun rapidly, finally locking onto a value with a "beep."

The next second.

Gu Rong's body jolted violently!

He widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

"This... this is..."

He could feel an incredibly pure, incredibly gentle power surging into his body. That power merged perfectly with his soul power, without the slightest resistance or conflict, as if it had been born out of thin air within his own body!

Comfortable!

It was too comfortable!

In the past, when receiving an amplification from Ning Fengzhi, although his power would skyrocket, there was always a tearing sensation of being forcibly pulled by an external force. But now, that feeling had completely vanished!

"How does it feel?" Ning Fengzhi asked nervously.

"Power... the power amplification has increased by forty percent!" Gu Rong's voice was trembling. "That's a full ten percent more than usual! And... and my soul power feels no discomfort at all! It even... it even feels like my bottleneck has loosened a little!"

What?!

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were both shocked.

An extra ten percent amplification, and it was seamless!

This thing was real!

Everything Qin Feng said was true!

Ning Fengzhi could no longer control his emotions. He looked at the disc in his hand, then at Qin Feng, his eyes no longer filled with the look of a business transaction, but with fanatical worship.

"A miracle... this is simply a miracle!"

"This isn't a miracle, this is science." Qin Feng corrected him. "And this is just an entry-level version. Once I build my Vibranium energy core, the complete version of the frequency converter will be able to double your amplification effect again."

Double it!

Ning Fengzhi felt like he was about to faint from happiness.

He suddenly felt that trading those mineral veins for all of this was worth it! It was so worth it!

"Alright, you've received the down payment." Qin Feng clapped his hands, instantly switching back to boss mode. "Now, it's time for you to fulfill the agreement."

"Please give your orders, Boss Qin!" Ning Fengzhi immediately bowed, his attitude as respectful as an apprentice.

"From today on, you are the 'Chief Minister of Mineral Resource Integration' of my Umbrella Corporation, or 'Mine Manager' for short." Qin Feng pointed outside the door. "Your first task is to return to the sect, organize all the mineral vein contracts, geological maps, and miner rosters, and deliver them to me within three days."

"Also, tell your miners to prepare for overtime."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily. "Yes! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Watching Ning Fengzhi leave in a hurry with two completely convinced Title Douluo and a dejected Ning Rongrong.

A smile finally appeared on Qin Feng's face.

He turned around and looked at Orochimaru, who had been silent in the corner.

"Doctor, the material problem has been solved."

"Now, it's our turn to clean up the 'trash' in this city."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, his golden snake-like pupils flashing with excitement.

"There are seventeen hidden sentries from Martial Soul Hall lurking in Nuoding City. I need you to find them all, leaving none behind."

Qin Feng's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

"It just so happens that those 'little darlings' you just finished researching also need some fresh... hosts."
