"He's reaping the rewards of accumulated effort." In the Inheritance Palace, that was the Artifact Spirit's assessment of Dongguan.
While Dongguan studied the tenth level on his second account, he had also been working on something else.
Not long after he completed the tenth level on his second account, that other work was finished as well.
