"Let's confirm the reward. Is everything alright?"
Zhou Zheng leaned back in his chair and added, "Your 10,000 contribution points have been deposited into your cards. You can check the window yourself in a bit."
"It's been confirmed, no problem." The three nodded in unison.
"If there are no problems, then I'll report to my superiors that the reward has been issued." Zhou Zheng took a picture with his phone.
"Team Leader Zhou, you're so kind to us."
Qin Lang said with a grateful expression, "You not only helped us secure a spot in the Void Realm, but you also gave us so many rewards. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi were very grateful; this seemingly carefree man had indeed helped them a lot.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips, "No need to thank me, this is your own strength and hard work."
"Moreover, because of your outstanding performance this time, the bureau is already preparing to promote me to captain."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all offered their congratulations: "Congratulations, Captain Zhou!"
Zhou Zheng's smile widened: "By the way, in recognition of your outstanding performance, the team has decided to give you an extra nice gift."
"What's this good stuff?"
"Mist Transmitter".
Zhou Zheng took three metal balls out of his trench coat pocket and shook them onto the table.
"This is a special thing that the higher-ups have researched to address the characteristics of fog, and it's still in the experimental stage."
"There's a 1-cubic-meter space inside, where you can put all the items in the game and teleport them in at once."
"However, the internal spatial structure of this thing is still very unstable, and it can only be used once."
After he finished explaining, the three of them realized the importance of these metal spheres, and their eyes widened immediately!
After all, they obtained a large amount of treasure this time.
However, because novice lords have limited mental energy, they can only transfer 1 to 2 items per day.
It will take at least one or two weeks to transfer all these treasures into the game.
With this transmitter, all these resources can be transferred into the game at once.
Zhou Zheng looked at their shocked expressions and smiled with satisfaction.
After giving a few more instructions, he got up, shook his trench coat, and left the office.
After he left, the three of them continued to stare at the metal sphere on the table, their eyes showing thoughtful expressions.
"I didn't expect there to be such a good thing. Now we don't need to teleport slowly anymore," Qin Lang said happily.
Shen Xing nodded, but what surprised him was not the spatial teleportation function of this mist transmitter.
What shocked him even more was that this thing was actually developed by the higher-ups.
In other words, China's research on the fog has reached an extremely advanced level.
Besides this fog transmitter, there might be some other advanced technology involved.
"Hey guys, let's open those three advanced treasure chests first and see if we can get what we need," Qin Lang suggested.
"Okay." Shen Xing also snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the treasure chest in front of him.
Then, the three of them pressed down on the lid of the box at the same time and slowly lifted it open.
"Buzz—"
A burst of white light shot out from the crack, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
When the light faded, three things were quietly placed inside.
They are Vampire Fang, Porcupine Thorn, and Kobold Candle.
You can tell from their names what kind of troops these advanced treasures belong to.
Unfortunately, they couldn't use any of these three treasures.
"Wow, is it this dark?"
Qin Lang was somewhat incredulous: "We obtained a total of 6 advanced treasures this time, but 5 of them are completely useless."
Xu Jiayi remained calm: "It's normal. After all, there are so many types of units in this game, dozens of which are the initial units alone."
"The chances of finding the advanced treasures we need from so many different types are too small."
"I'll just leave it on the trading channel for a bit. I can always wait a couple more days. Anyway, my Bayonetta isn't even level 9 yet."
The official trading platform has a dedicated consignment interface.
Simply list your treasures and enter your requirements, and the system will automatically match them.
Once the match is successful, it will be delivered to your home by a dedicated logistics company, which is quite convenient.
Of course, this requires a certain handling fee.
Qin Lang stopped dwelling on his bad luck with the opening of the box and excitedly said, "Let's go to the trading area on the second floor now. We just got 10,000 contribution points this time, so we can spend them like crazy."
Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi nodded.
Although these contribution points can be exchanged for cash, which amounts to a huge sum of one million, enough to buy a well-located villa in the suburbs of Jiangcheng and greatly improve one's living environment.
But none of them had that idea.
After all, everyone faces the pressure of survival once they enter this game.
We must make full use of every resource at our disposal to enhance our capabilities.
If you let your guard down even slightly, you might be torn apart by the monsters inside, becoming just one of countless accidental deaths.
Enjoyment comes later; once you become powerful enough, making money will be a piece of cake.
Qin Lang pushed Shen Xing, and the three of them left the office together.
Soon, the elevator arrived at the second floor.
Compared to their first time visiting the trading area, they were quite familiar with the place now.
Shen Xing first went to the trading window and listed his unused advanced treasure in exchange for the [Orc Totem].
The consignment fee is a rip-off. At 2%, it deducted a full 400 contribution points, which adds up to a whopping 40,000 yuan!
Damn it, I don't even have that much living expenses for a whole year, and he deducted it all from my allowance.
Shen Xing mentally complained for a while, then wandered around the second-floor trading area a few more times, making a large purchase of materials.
They are 100 Mithril and 1000 Black Crystals respectively.
After some bargaining, the final cost was 6600 contribution points.
The price sounded a bit outrageous, but Shen Xing could accept it.
After all, mithril is an extremely rare metal, usually found only in small quantities in large veins, and it has a wide range of uses.
Whether it's for crafting magical artifacts, forging weapons, or upgrading advanced buildings, this material is essential.
Very few players would sell this material.
He went to three different stalls before he finally collected all one hundred portions of mithril.
Black crystals are much cheaper, since they are a basic material and can be continuously produced as long as the [Black Crystal Tower] is lit.
However, Shen Xing also purchased it in order to build the Hero Altar as soon as possible.
In addition, I spent another 1400 contribution points to buy a level 2 [Ice Arrow Tower blueprint] and a [Tripping Horse Trap blueprint].
The total cost was 8400 contribution points.
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi also went on a spending spree, buying two blueprints and a bunch of materials.
After making their purchase, the three left the trading area satisfied and pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.
Just as they were walking through the lobby on the first floor, preparing to hail a taxi home, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
They turned around and saw a woman with a single ponytail, wearing a uniform, running quickly towards them, carrying a stack of documents in her arms.
"What's up?"
Shen Xing had seen this woman in Zhou Zheng's office before; she seemed to be a clerk.
"A document just came down from above; it's a list of the rewards for these individuals."
The girl with the single ponytail took a few breaths, then handed over the document: "I need you to check it and then sign it."
The three men took the documents and glanced at them.
The list above details all the rewards they received this time, with the corresponding quantity indicated after each item.
Just as Qin Lang was about to sign, Shen Xing suddenly noticed something and interrupted, "Wait a minute, why does it say 10 large soul stones?"
"Hmm?" The woman looked down at the document, then asked blankly, "Your reward is 10 large soul stones, which can be broken down into 5000 soul stones. Is there a problem?"
The three exchanged a glance, their expressions turning somewhat strange.
"It seems there's a problem with the number of large soul stones?" The woman with the single ponytail seemed to realize something, her expression changing slightly. "Please wait a moment, I'll call upstairs to verify."
As she spoke, she took out her phone.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
"No need to make the call, Xiaomin."
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a gray trench coat walking towards them with his hands in his pockets.
Zhou Zheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, calmly said, "This document was sent incorrectly. The actual quantity shall prevail."
"Are you sure?" The woman with the single ponytail looked at him suspiciously.
Zhou Zheng was about to speak.
Shen Xing continued, "The quantity is fine, let's sign it with this."
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi exchanged a glance and understood what was going on, and both said that the quantity was not a problem.
The woman with the single ponytail gave them a strange look, then handed them the documents without saying anything more.
The three of them signed their names neatly and then left the Jiangcheng Players Association.
"Captain Zhou, when are you going to change this old habit of yours?" The woman with the single ponytail said speechlessly, watching their backs.
"I'm used to it." Zhou Zheng smiled. "But what I fought for for them was many times more than this."
"But this isn't a good idea."
Zhou Zheng shook his head, said nothing more, and turned back to his office on the fourth floor.
Leaning back on the sofa, gazing at the scenery outside the window, he gradually closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the misty flower.
A moment later, he brought up his attribute panel and glanced at the talent interface.
[Talent: Seven Deadly Sins - Greed (754/1000)]
About half an hour later, the three of them returned home.
Qin Lang escorted Shen Xing to her rented apartment before taking a taxi home himself.
After closing the door, Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair into the living room.
He stared thoughtfully at the nine large soul stones in the black bag.
He naturally knew there was something wrong with the amount of the reward, and he also knew where those soul stones might have gone.
But sometimes, there's no need to dig too deep; it's okay to turn a blind eye.
Moreover, the other party did indeed provide them with a lot of help.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
The phone in Shen Xing's pocket kept ringing, interrupting his thoughts.
I opened my phone and took a look.
:
:
Numerous messages popped up on the Green Bubble software, all from the group called "[Jiangcheng Future Prodigy Emperor Discussion Group]".
Snow Eagle Lord: "Brothers, I mixed 5% Vajra Sand into the Water Stream Bomb according to the proportions Dog Brother mentioned, and it really increased the damage of this skill by a lot."
Zhang Bairen: "I also tried it. I mixed a certain proportion of phosphorus powder into the fireball spell, and it was so powerful that it couldn't kill the monster at all. It's ridiculous."
Luo Feng: "I had a blacksmith make me a pair of magnetic mother-and-child swords. Through magnetic field linkage, the child sword will automatically fly along the trajectory of the mother sword. This way, I only need to control the mother sword, which greatly reduces the consumption of mental energy."
'
Hmm? Water Stream Bomb mixed with diamond powder? Fireball spell mixed with phosphorus powder?
What kind of operation is this?
Shen Xing was completely confused.
After all, in this game, things from the Misty Lands can be transferred to reality.
But real-world items can't be transferred to the game.
This includes firearms and ammunition; nothing is acceptable.
Otherwise, some special players would have already teleported the Dongfeng 5C in, letting the monsters in the Misty Land experience what a great power's heavy weapon is like.
He quickly opened the group chat, scrolled through the chat history, and nodded in realization.
"I see. Although real-world items cannot be transferred to the game, many elements and minerals in the Misty Lands exist naturally, making them no different from the real world."
"Players can manually craft various materials and combine them with the magic system of this world to create even stronger effects."
