508 A Booming Business (1/2)
The regional Spirit Internet was set up so that multiple people could send voice transmissions simultaneously. It served the function of a chat group. Federation Seedlings could send voice transmissions and messages.
Presently, Federation Seedlings spread across the various islands were chatting happily in the chat group. They had left their homes and were in foreign lands. They were surrounded by strangers. Most could feel the cultivators from the Vast Expanse Dao Place looking down on and ostracizing them. That united them further.
They weren't only forced to stand together. Despite the ancient greenish-bronze sword being a holy place for cultivation, countless dangers lurked, hidden from their sight. Within the past month, many of them had encountered danger to differing degrees. Some dangers were due to their missions, some came from the cultivators of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
This chat group thus became an important channel where everyone could communicate with and contact one another. They could also call for help when they meet danger. At present, they were all discussing battle credits.
Li Yi's words surprised many people. The battle credits that she had earned were significant. She had actually gotten six hundred credits. Many found that unbelievable. The missions given by the Vast Expanse Dao Palace were incredibly challenging, and the credits they awarded, pitiful.
Many soon started asking polite questions. Wang Baole simply snorted secretly. He felt sour about it, but he continued listening in to the conversation. He wanted to know how Li Yi had done it as well.
That was indeed the effect Li Yi had intended to achieve. Slightly pleased with herself, she spoke again casually in the chat group.
”Fellow Daoists, you just have to remember this one thing… cultivation plays an important part in earning battle credits, but using one's brain plays an even more important role. I wonder how many battle credits our fellow Daoist Wang Baole, who has the highest cultivation level amongst us all, has gotten?”
Everyone fell silent as Li Yi began to target Wang Baole. No one wanted to get involved in their conflict. Anyone who knew anything about what had happened on Mars knew the tensions between Li Yi and Wang Baole. It had begun since their fight for mayorship over the new city zone and continued until Li Yi made a grievous mistake and was deported from Mars. Their hostility was deeply rooted and wasn't going to be resolved anytime soon.
Furthermore, Li Yi's rank had remained stagnant since she had left Mars. Wang Baole, on the other hand, had been promoted swiftly through the ranks. He had since risen to become a Secondary Rank Two Noble. If they were in the Federation now, no matter how much Li Yi might curse Wang Baole secretly, she wouldn't have dared to openly speak out against him. The difference between their levels of cultivation and ranks was simply too vast.
In the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, however, whatever achievements one had earned while in the Federation no longer counted. It didn't matter how powerful Wang Baole's cultivation was. Li Yi, through her own means, had gathered a group of people to stand with her against Wang Baole. That was why she dared to openly mock Wang Baole in the chat group.
Wang Baole glared. He had half a mind to say something in the chat group. Then, he saw the battle credits he had earned, remembered the debts he had gotten himself into, and lost interest immediately. He sighed and closed the chat group.
No, I can't allow Li Yi, with her big breasts and lack of brains, to bask in satisfaction! Wang Baole sulked. He began to think. After thinking for some time, he headed for the mission stone slab again. He looked at it carefully. With the impressive memory that he had acquired from memorizing inscriptions, he memorized most of the missions on the stone slab, then began to consolidate and categorize them.
This took a lot of effort. Wang Baole was just going to wing it though. Li Yi's words had triggered him. Two days passed before Wang Baole, his eyes lined with red veins, rubbed his forehead and lifted his head. His breathing quickened slightly.
Most of the missions that awarded the most battle credits can only be completed by Core Formation realm cultivators. In addition, they frequently cannot be completed by a single person… one will have to form mission parties.
However, even though these missions award more battle credits, there are far less of them than missions appropriate for Foundation Establishment realm cultivators… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Based on his categorization, he realized that seventy percent of the missions were designed for Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. The battle credits that Foundation Establishment realm cultivators could earn after completing those missions were pitiful.
