Home of Extremes

Zhuge Tao hurried away once again, just as he had at the Jiangnan Base City headquarters, his expression shifting drastically after receiving a phone call.

Luo Zhe had a rough guess that it concerned the major matter he and Tong Yang were plotting, but given Luo Zhe's current status, what could he possibly say?

In the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City, the three of them, having changed back into their own clothes, were walking along the pedestrian crossing while chatting.

"Brother Zhe, I heard you got into a fight with Wan Dong from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall? And that you were taken away by soldiers? Nothing bad happened, right?" Luo Feng asked, his face full of concern.

Yang Wu, walking on the inside, also spoke up worriedly, "Yeah, Luo Zhe, I heard about it too. How did you two end up fighting out of the blue? Are you hurt?"

Luo Zhe waved his hand, flashed a grin, and spun around in place, "Relax, relax. You see me perfectly fine right now, don't you? That means I'm okay."

"It was that guy named Wan Dong. He came charging at us for no reason. It was dark out, and he wouldn't stop when I told him to. I had no choice but to knock him down first."

"As long as you're okay." Luo Feng let out a sigh of relief, then complained, "You have no idea how nervous I was when I first heard the news. Those soldiers were like wooden blocks; they wouldn't say a word no matter what I asked."

Luo Zhe couldn't help but laugh, "We aren't part of the military system. If you go asking about these things as an individual, they definitely won't tell you. In the future, if you run into any trouble, you should look for people from our Martial Arts Hall first. Like with this, it would have been much better to have Uncle Wu step in than to go yourself."

Yang Wu nodded in agreement from the side, "Right, Luo Zhe is a pre-recruited member of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall anyway; having Chief Instructor Wu Tong step in would indeed be better."

As he spoke, Yang Wu looked a bit envious, "You two are already official members of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Once you go back, you'll be able to access the Home of Extremes directly through the network."

On the internet, there are certain special internal networks that require specific credentials to access.

The Home of Extremes is one such special internal network, accessible only to those with the status of a fighter in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall; it is an internal fighter network exclusive to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Every Extreme fighter possesses a unique fighter ID number, and each ID number has an exclusive fighter account directly linked to their personal identity information.

For instance, the starting funds for fighters like Luo Zhe and Luo Feng were transferred directly by the special management department of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall into their exclusive fighter accounts on the Home of Extremes using their fighter ID numbers.

After dinner.

In the media room on the second floor of Luo Zhe's house.

"Home of Extremes." Luo Zhe used voice control to search for the URL on his personal computer.

Suddenly, a massive two-hundred-inch screen appeared on one of the walls of the media room, and the screen immediately navigated to the 'Home of Extremes' website.

"Beep." After verifying his fingerprint, the screen immediately entered the loading page.

Beautiful music flowed through the media room like a babbling brook, and at the same time, a personal page appeared on the giant screen, displaying a photo of Luo Zhe along with an information table below it—

Name: Luo Zhe

Gender: Male

Address: Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia Nation

Fighter ID Number: 426126105608010001

Level: Warrior Level (Junior)

Contribution Points: 0

Currency Balance: 20,000,000 Huaxia Currency

His gaze fell upon the giant screen on the wall of the media room, and looking at the item displaying the starting funds, Luo Zhe nodded, "The 20 million Huaxia Currency starting funds promised by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall have indeed arrived."

At the very top of the webpage, there was a row of buttons, one of which was blinking incessantly, with a line of red text flashing on it—"You have two new emails."

He moved his finger slightly across the touchpad of the wireless keyboard and tapped gently to open the mailbox.

The first email opened, and a video immediately appeared.

"Hello, Mr. Luo Zhe." A middle-aged man in a black suit appeared on the giant screen and smiled, "I am Director Zhuge's assistant. I believe you have already seen the 20 million in starting funds that the Director promised. As for purchasing Movement Technique, Blade Technique, and Guidance Technique manuals, you can purchase them directly through the internal network. As long as the price does not exceed 100 million, the internal network will reimburse you directly; not a single cent will be deducted from you. If the price exceeds 100 million, you will need to pay the excess amount yourself, Mr. Luo Zhe. At the same time, on behalf of the Director, I congratulate you on successfully passing the fighter combat assessment."

After he finished speaking, the video ended.

He clicked on the second email, which also contained a video.

"Respected new fighter 'Luo Zhe', hello. On behalf of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, I welcome you to our big family." A sweet-looking young girl smiled, "This is your first time entering the internal network of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall—the Home of Extremes! Allow me to introduce you to the functions of the Home of Extremes."

"First, in the Home of Extremes, you can purchase various levels of weapons, Guidance Techniques, Movement Technique manuals, offensive manuals such as Blade Technique, Spear Technique, Sword Technique manuals, and so on. There are also firearms, vehicles, protective gear, communication systems, special explosives, special medical agents, gene agents... and even some special materials and treasures. As long as you have enough money, you can purchase them."

"Once you pay, the goods will be delivered within 24 hours."

"Through the Home of Extremes, you can even hire War General Level fighters, or even War God Level fighters, to provide one-on-one teaching and guidance via the network. You will also need to pay sufficient money for this."

The girl in the video smiled, "If you have enough contribution points, the prices of the aforementioned items will all be halved!"

Luo Zhe was startled.

While he had already learned about the previous information through people like Chen Gu and Wu Tong, he truly hadn't expected the price to be halved.

Luo Zhe had previously understood that when a new fighter makes their first purchase of a manual, they don't need to consider contribution point requirements and can purchase them directly at the most favorable price.

But he hadn't expected that in the Home of Extremes, all items—including things like hiring a War God Level fighter for individual guidance—could be enjoyed at a half-price discount as long as one had enough contribution points.

If an item cost 100 million, wouldn't he only need to pay 50 million if he had enough contribution points? These contribution points are truly useful. However, his current contribution points were only 0.

"Contribution points have many uses, not just the benefit of purchasing items. For example, if your contribution points reach a certain level, you can call upon special squads of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and so on." The girl in the video smiled, "The higher your contribution points, the higher your status in our Extreme Martial Arts Hall, the greater your power, and the better your benefits."

"There are mainly two ways to obtain contribution points."

"One is to hunt monsters and harvest important materials from their bodies. Sell these important materials to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall! You can obtain money and contribution points."

"The second is to donate money to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. The more money you donate, the more contribution points you receive. The current ratio is... donate 10,000 Huaxia Currency to receive 1 contribution point! The donation system starts at 10 million Huaxia Currency, and a fighter can donate up to 100 billion. In other words—the limit of contribution points you can obtain through the donation system is 10 million points!"

Luo Zhe gasped, his breath hitching!

Damn it! Listen to that, is that even human talk?

There's a limit to donations? A maximum of one hundred billion? If you give more, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall won't even take it? That's one hundred billion Huaxia Currency! It seems that the richest person in the Huaxia Nation on the current Forbes list only has assets just over 100 billion. The richest person in the world on the Forbes list only has assets of 120 billion USD, which is equivalent to 420 billion Huaxia Currency.

"Mr. Luo Zhe, I would like to remind you that hunting monsters is the best way to earn contribution points; you can gain points while earning money at the same time," the young woman in the video smiled. "Since you now have your starting capital, please do not make any purchases immediately. You can enter the information section of the Martial Artist Forum to carefully review some basic knowledge about martial artists. This will be very beneficial for your selection of secret manuals and the purchase of weapons."

"Finally, I wish Mr. Luo Zhe the best in reaching the pinnacle of martial arts within our big family at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall."

After saying this, the young woman in the video bowed, and the video ended.

To be honest, this Home of Extremes was all-encompassing, and the richness of the content and information within was something the former Luo Zhe could never have imagined.

Although he possessed twenty million Huaxia Currency in starting capital, plus the twenty million in extra cash he had earned from Wang Meng, Luo Zhe did not rush to purchase weapons or other items. Instead, following the guidance of the young woman in the video, he first familiarized himself with the internal website of the Home of Extremes.

The Home of Extremes website had many functions and was divided into various sections: there were areas for accepting and posting missions, a private chat function, a cultivation section, and a donation system.

However, the most attractive sections were undoubtedly the 'Martial Artist Forum' and the 'Online Mall'.
