Chapter 80

The difficulties encountered by lords during their development, and the personal experiences they have summarized—these valuable insights are rarely shared.

"Okay, add us to the group." Shen Xing nodded.

"Okay, scan this code." Gu Feng opened his phone, then tapped the Green Bubble and shared a group QR code.

Shen Xing glanced at the screen and saw a group message with more than 30 people.

The group's name is "Dominating the Present Era - Jiangcheng's Future Prodigy Emperor Discussion Group".

Looking at this ridiculously cringeworthy name, Shen Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Then, suppressing her shame, she joined the group chat with Xu Jiayi.

Just as Gu Feng was about to put his phone away, Qin Lang quickly said, "Wait a minute, I haven't scanned it yet."

"Uh..." Gu Feng was taken aback for a moment. "You want to join too?"

Qin Lang: "?"

"No, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?" he said angrily.

Gu Feng quickly explained, "Brother, you've misunderstood. I just didn't notice you."

He took out his phone again and shared the group's QR code.

Qin Lang then suppressed his grief and indignation, and joined the group with a resentful expression.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng walked over and led them away from the players' encirclement. "The car is here. The three of you come back to the association with me first."

A white minivan slowly drove up and stopped in front of everyone.

Qin Lang skillfully grabbed Shen Xing's wheelchair armrests, lifted her and the wheelchair together into the car, and then entered the carriage.

"Beep beep--"

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of players, the car disappeared at the parking lot exit.

Soon after, the other players also dispersed.

Shortly after the crowd departed, several figures with profound presence slowly emerged from the thick fog.

Led by Elder Wang, followed by several members of the Anomaly Handling Bureau, including the Tier Three Expert Rank lord Jiang Rong.

"Alright, the little ones have all left. Now it's our turn."

Elder Wang slowly spoke, "Let's deal with what's inside as soon as possible, otherwise, once the fog spreads, even this one- Void Realm will turn into a disaster that sweeps across the entire city."

As he spoke, he walked through the mist, still wearing a kind smile, but his aura had become incredibly sharp.

Everyone nodded solemnly, their faces serious, and then stepped into the mist together.

Chapter 66: Post-Battle Harvest, Distribution of Rewards!

About half an hour later.

In a private meeting room on the ninth floor of Jiangcheng Times Building.

Shen Xing and the others leaned back on the soft sofa, with four steaming cups of tea on the table, their refreshing aroma lingering in the air.

"You three have really surprised me this time."

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Xing beside him. "Especially you, you actually managed to cultivate a Boss Rank unit without making a sound, you've kept it well hidden."

Shen Xing smiled and said, "Good luck, good luck."

"Heh..." Zhou Zheng chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about the consequences of your strength being exposed, and no one will investigate your secrets."

"The Mist Reincarnation has been open for so many years, and we've seen far too many geniuses, many of whom have performed even more exceptionally well than you at the Tier One."

"But they either died halfway through in the Land of Mist, or got stuck at some bottleneck and couldn't break through, fading into obscurity."

Therefore, genius is nothing special; only those geniuses who survive can grow into true power.

Shen Xing nodded; he naturally knew this, which was why he manifested Hellscream.

As Elder Wang said, the country's resources will only be allocated to a small number of people.

If you want to acquire more resources and become stronger, then demonstrate sufficient assets and show them your value.

"Captain Zhou, I heard from Elder Wang that we'll get a generous ranking reward if we make it into the top three this time." Qin Lang asked impatiently, "What is our reward?"

Zhou Zheng seemed to have anticipated this question and laughed, "You guys were lucky this time. According to the rules, the rewards for the top three are different, and the difference is quite significant."

"However, after discussions at the higher level, it was ultimately decided that you would all receive the same reward as the first-place winner."

"Each person receives one random upgraded treasure chest, 9 Greater Soul Stone, the mysterious building - Hero Tavern, plus 10,000 contribution points."

When Zhou Zheng finished speaking, all three of them gasped for breath.

These rewards are ridiculously generous.

Putting aside the three rewards mentioned earlier, the final 10,000 contribution points alone were enough to make their heads spin.

Based on the proportional conversion, the combined contribution points of the three people are equivalent to three million yuan!

They had never seen so much money in their entire lives!

Shen Xing took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked, "Captain Zhou, what was that Greater Soul Stone you mentioned earlier?"

The other rewards are self-explanatory, but this "Greater Soul Stone" is something I've never heard of before.

Zhou Zheng seemed to have anticipated this question and explained, "It's a high-grade material, generally used only by Tier Three troops and buildings. You can think of it as an advanced version of Soul Stone."

"In addition, it can be broken down into Common Soul Stone; one Greater Soul Stone can be broken down into five hundred Soul Stone."

The three were startled again.

Their reward this time is 9 Soul Stone, which, at this ratio, can be broken down into a full 4500 Soul Stone!

They've been playing the game for half a month, and they haven't accumulated that many Soul Stones.

This old lady selling antiques has really struck it rich!

Seeing the three people's stunned expressions, Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes, seemingly quite satisfied with their reaction.

"Captain Zhou, when will we receive our rewards?" Qin Lang rubbed his hands together expectantly.

"What's the rush? It'll be given to you once the approval is granted."

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and then said, "Oh, by the way, just a reminder."

"You guys swept the top three spots in the Mist Void Realm this time, which makes you famous among Jiangcheng players."

"Next, many companies or groups should contact you, inviting you to join."

"Think it over carefully, don't be fooled by the various conditions they offer."

Shen Xing asked in confusion, "What do these companies or groups do?"

When they were surrounded by players today, several people handed them their business cards, telling them to look into their company later.

But the situation was too chaotic at the time, and Shen Xing didn't pay much attention after accepting the business card.

"What else can a company do? Make money, of course."

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "However, most of these groups' businesses are not on Blue Star, but in the Land of Mist."

"The game 'Mist Reincarnation' has been around for decades, and many business giants have long been laying the groundwork for it."

"Some powerful corporations have even built their own misty megacities, housing hundreds of thousands of people."

"The Land of Mist are rich in minerals and have low labor costs, which is exactly what these unscrupulous capitalists want..."

Shen Xing nodded in realization, then asked, "Then why did they invite us?"

"Of course, it's because you have good potential and may become powerful lords in the future, so I want to invest in you."

Zhou Zheng explained, "Their operations in the Land of Mist are too extensive, but that hellish place is teeming with monsters, and terrible disasters erupt from time to time."

"They need enough henchmen and allies to sustain their growth and solidify their foundation."

He paused, then changed the subject. "Of course, these companies and groups are often very generous, offering extremely high compensation."

"As for whether or not you want to join, that's up to you."

After listening, all three of them had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"Alright, you all sit here for a while, I'll go arrange the rewards."

After saying that, Zhou Zheng got up and walked towards the door.

After he left, the three of them exchanged a glance.

"By the way, should we join these companies? It sounds like a good idea," Qin Lang asked.

Without even thinking, Xu Jiayi refused outright. "I don't want to be someone's dog."

Shen Xing shook his head. "It's probably not that simple. Although these companies will provide us with resources, there will definitely be conditions attached."

"We might have to sign some kind of contract or something."

Qin Lang nodded and didn't bring up joining the group again.

"Alright, let's take stock of the spoils now, and then discuss how to divide them," Shen Xing suggested.

Upon hearing this, the other two also perked up immediately.

After all, they cleared eleven waves in the Mist Void Realm this time, and the various materials they obtained alone reached an astonishing number.

Qin Lang put down his shoulder bag, took out a large bag, and dumped all its contents onto the conference table.

In an instant, a large number of Soul Stone, soul fragments, and silver coins covered the entire table.

The three suppressed their excitement and began to take inventory.

A few minutes later, they obtained the exact number of spoils.

Soul Stone *1752

6315 Vinar Silver Coin

1524 Fragmented Common Soul

167 Fragmented Elite Soul

These are just the basic materials that dropped; there are several treasures to be found later, and those are the main rewards.

Dazzling Boss Rank Soul *2

Black Moon Knights Recruitment Scroll *16

Advanced Treasure - Pitch-Black Plume *1
