Hebre's expression was calm, and his eyes were sharp as he stared at Ma Dong. To be honest, he did not like the things that Wang Zhong had brought to the Earth.
Regardless of whether it was joining the Star Alliance or establishing a foothold in the Heavenly Treasures Street, these were great contributions to the entire Earth civilization. He had been happy about this, but what happened later? What about the Cullen Family? Before they had joined the Star Alliance, the Cullen Family had absolute authority in the Holy City. He and a few old friends had joined forces and controlled most of the power in the Holy City. He was the invisible king of the Earthlings. However, with the return of Wang Zhanfeng and Shirley, as well as the various pressures after entering the Star Alliance, they were despised by various civilizations, and they were treated like cowards …
So what if the Earth had become powerful? However, the Cullen Family had become weak, and their right to speak had decreased. They had gone from being a supreme king to a high-ranking blue-collar worker, which was meaningless to him!
The Cullen Family, who had absolute authority in the Holy City and the Earth, had long since become a thing of the past. Now, even a Heroic Soul junior dared to question him in this manner?!
The aura of a Sacred Teacher emanated from his body as he coldly stared at Ma Dong. However, before Ma Dong could be frightened by him, two more powerful auras of Sacred Teachers descended and enveloped the entire venue!
Shirley and Wang Zhanfeng! As the only two direct disciples of the Holy Saint Teacher, they were definitely the strongest combat power in the Holy City and far surpassed the others!
Among the Sacred Teachers in the Holy City, there was no doubt that the two of them had the most hope of accumulating their Void Core. Furthermore, as they were the disciples of the Holy Saint Teacher, they had a rather wide network in the Holy City. In the past, the Earth had been holed up in a corner, but now that they were facing the Star Alliance, there was no way out.
"Sir Hebre," Shirley calmly said. "This is the conference hall. Please control your emotions!"
Hebre was extremely furious. He turned his head and looked around. Many of the people who had spoken out to support him earlier had now shut their mouths. Even a few of his old friends, who were usually on the same side, did not stand up to support him. Obviously, Wang Zhong had obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Gates superintendent. This meant that Wang Zhong was at least a Void Core and had a boundless future!
It was obviously not worth offending such a super expert. Regardless of whether it was in terms of combat power or influence, they were not equal. Everyone looked at Hebre and suddenly felt that he did not understand the situation.
"Hmph!" Hebre sneered in extreme anger. He knew that he alone would not be able to stir up any waves in front of the Wang couple. "You'd better remember this!"
"Wait." Wang Zhanfeng's voice rang out behind him. "Lord Hebre, you have not answered Ma Dong's question."
"…" Hebre slowly turned around, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. "Wales Karon has been sent to the battlefield to serve his sentence. This is the punishment he deserves after committing a mistake. I am very satisfied with Wang Zhong's handling of the matter. This is my answer! I'm sorry, I still have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first! "
After that, he turned around and strode away. The door of the conference room was slammed shut with a loud bang.
However, it was obvious that no one cared about Hebre's emotions at all in the face of the promotion of a civilization. In fact, no one even mentioned it. After a few seconds of silence in the conference hall, everyone was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
A level-4.5 civilization. This appointment had come at just the right time!
Even though the Earth civilization had been in such a difficult situation over the past few years, just the sharing of information, better cultivation methods, higher-level technology, and the opening up of exploration rights to the surrounding worlds had caused a small explosion on the Earth over the past three years. For example, there had been a small explosion of Heavenly Soul experts this year. A hundred Heavenly Souls below the age of 40 were about to be gathered. Just a year ago, when Wang Zhong had just arrived, the entire Earth civilization had only gathered 20 to 30 Heavenly Souls!
They had only been a level-4 civilization for a few years, but they had already accumulated so much. Of course, they had also paid a huge price in resources. When there was no room for improvement, humans liked internal strife. However, when faced with powerful pressure that threatened the development of their civilization, the power that erupted as a whole was extremely powerful. In fact, the various great families in the Holy City had paid a price.
Meanwhile, Ma Dong looked at these people calmly. Had they been emptied?
No, they had only emptied the Earth. In the Holy City, the accumulation of a family like Hebre's was beyond imagination. Humans had the innate habit of "storing up food". On the surface, they appeared to be exhausted, but based on Ma Dong's understanding, they were much more than that. However, they felt that it was normal for others to charge and break through enemy lines and risk their lives to fight, while it was normal for them to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea were not ruthless enough. With a teacher like the Holy Saint Teacher, they did not understand the harshness of development.
Ma Dong was not anxious. He would not be able to eat hot tofu if he was impatient. He wanted to start changing the mindset of Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea. With this layer of help, he would be able to truly change the situation on Earth and gather everyone's strength instead of relying on Wang Zhong to fight alone.
He had risen by half a level … A great half a level!
Could it be that he relied on his mouth?
… …
This … As for Lao Wang, he was not as miserable as Ma Dong had imagined. Other than the fact that he was unfamiliar with the place and people at the beginning, Wang Zhong was like a fish in water very quickly.
Entering the Celestial Honors Class was a major matter. Of course, it was a rather 'secretive' matter. Not many members of the Celestial Honors Class would publicize this identity. Although the Heavenly Gates did not prohibit this, it was degrading and very stupid. Furthermore, not many freaks in the Celestial Honors Class cared about this kind of false reputation. At least in the Heavenly Gates, ordinary pupils would at most hear about it and think that it was a legend. They did not know exactly which freaks were in the Celestial Honors Class. Perhaps these freaks were hidden around them.
However, the benefits of the Celestial Honors Class were real. Wang Zhong had already learned about his appointment to the Earth from Old Cow.
The authority to receive information from a quasi-level-5 civilization was completely different from that of a level-4 civilization. At the very least, with basic communication rights, the divine territory and the Holy City would not be like illegal immigration in the future. It was said that Lord Dhomiguer from the Mizobudapi civilization had helped a lot in this matter. Not only did all the documents that went through his hands give him the green light, he even helped the Earthlings run around. Of course, as the Heavenly Treasures Street, Mugthol and Old Cow were obviously the ones who put in the most effort. They provided both money and manpower. Now, the Heavenly Treasures Street could communicate with the Holy City in a timely manner. The next batch of immigrants this year would arrive very quickly. This time, they would be directly sent to the Heavenly Treasures Street. Old Cow had already helped to arrange work in advance.
In reality, there were pros and cons to this matter. The pros were clearly visible. The Earth civilization had started to have a true foothold in the Land, or rather, they had a 'home'. However, there were also cons. The Earth had a base and had established a stable communication point. This matter would be noted in the Star Alliance. In the future, Lao Wang and the others would no longer be fearless and isolated people in the Land.
There were very few experts who completely did not care about their own race. Thus, the backyard of a race would forever be a powerful shackle that restrained these super experts in the Land. It was also the only way that the Star Alliance used to keep these super experts in check.
Lao Wang even suddenly realized that the superintendent had made an exception to raise the level of the Earth civilization and allowed the Earth to have a 'home' in the Land. In reality, she might have used this to restrain herself. This was both a reward and a restriction.
The Celestial Honors Class would spend a lot of money to nurture a genius, and they needed to receive sufficient returns as a guarantee. This kind of return would obviously not convince others just by saying it verbally. The Heavenly Gates also wanted to control some of one's weaknesses to ensure that they would not nurture an ingrate.
Of course, it was enough to just think about this. If the Heavenly Gates inexplicably believed a few verbal promises and then immediately treated him wholeheartedly, gave him benefits, and even asked him to be obedient, how could there be such a good thing? Did they think that the higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates were all idiots who suffered from chuunibyou syndrome?
Lao Wang understood this rather well. If he was the Heavenly Shell superintendent and stood in that position, he would definitely make the same decision.
Furthermore, at the same time as rewarding the Earth, his personal reward had also arrived.
It was a rather dazzling 'Golden Yaozi' messenger, one of the most famous symbols of the Heavenly Shell superintendent. There were only a few of them in the entire Heavenly Gates.
They were both insect race messengers, but the Golden Yaozi was completely different from the ones used by the Combat Cultivation Hall. They could be called god-level messengers. They were naturally favored by space and could teleport short distances in the Land, where the spiritual pressure was extremely high. In terms of the speed at which they delivered letters, if the Golden Yaozi claimed to be second, no messenger in the Land would dare to claim to be first.
It was not a lesson or a mission for the Celestial Honors Class, but a personal reward for joining the Celestial Honors Class. Other than a few words of encouragement from the superintendent, there was also a simple and unadorned ring in the envelope.
"A space ring from the Celestial Honors Class!" Jhonas was about to drool and wanted to touch it. His eyes lit up. Even though space rings were not considered particularly rare items in the Land and the divine territory, those who owned them were all big shots. Ordinary Void Cores did not even need to think about them. For example, Jhonas did not have one. It was not that the Babi family could not afford to give him a space ring, but to an heir who had not truly gained power, the family did not want him to be too ostentatious. "Boss, boss, how big is it?"
Wang Zhong held it in his hand and sensed it slightly. It was like using an ordinary artifact. When spiritual power was channeled into it, the space ring would automatically match your spiritual power waveband. It was equivalent to being locked and becoming a personal item. The space inside was about one cubic meter. Furthermore, this space ring had an invisibility barrier. It was not very complicated, but once you had the ring, other people who also had rings from the Celestial Honors Class would be able to see through this layer of invisibility. To put it bluntly, this was a forceful division of a circle in the Heavenly Gates. Only the members of the Celestial Honors Class knew about it.
"It's not that big," Lao Wang simply said calmly. "It's about one cubic meter. It can't store too many things."
If one only looked at the size of the space, this was indeed not enough to catch Lao Wang's eye. His fragment world was much bigger than this, and it did not just have storage functions. Compared to this ring, Lao Wang paid more attention to the other benefits of the Celestial Honors Class mentioned in the letter, such as the library in the Heavenly Gates. In the past, Lao Wang and the others could only borrow books from the Combat Cultivation District at the lowest level. Furthermore, there were many restrictions. After joining the Pill Refinery Hall, they could only borrow some secret manuals that were below level-7. But now, other than some very special books in the library, the authority to read most of the books was directly opened to him, including many precious pill formulas and cultivation manuals. Even though the rent for borrowing was very high … Furthermore, some forbidden areas in the Heavenly Gates were also relatively open. For example, in the past, only supervisors could apply for everyone to go to the Illusion Sea World, and there were strict restrictions. But now, if Wang Zhong wanted to go, he could apply for a place in his own name.
Lao Wang answered absent-mindedly and treated the noble space ring of the Celestial Honors Class as nothing. However, his eyes lit up as he stared at the so-called authority to read. Meanwhile, Jhonas was completely speechless and simply rolled his eyes.
This was the bad thing about Boss. Boss's values were completely different from Wang Zhong's. What authority? There were so many books. Who would want to read them? Compared to that, the space ring of the Celestial Honors Class was number one, okay?! What was important was the level, the class, and the level! Damn. If the space ring of the Celestial Honors Class was his, he would immediately return home in glory. When he returned to his race, he would instantly become a national treasure. Even the patriarch would have to treat him like an ancestor … Sigh! He would not be so lucky!
Of course, he could only secretly enjoy looking down on this country bumpkin in his mind. If he were to say it out loud, Jhonas would not dare to do so even if he had 10,000 guts.
"Jhonas, I have something to ask for your help with." Lao Wang had already put away the items. Jhonas had clearly seen Lao Wang put the spatial ring on his finger, but the moment he put it on, it was as if space had distorted slightly. When he looked again, only his bare finger was left.
"What is it?" Jhonas was slightly gloomy. During this period of time, he had felt that he was not bad. In any case, he had rushed into the top 10 of the Equipment Refinery Hall. In the end, when he compared himself to his roommate, it was too much of a blow. He did not have any sense of existence at all.
"Doesn't your Babi family have many businesses in the Land? Furthermore, many of your businesses involve the peripheral worlds. I think you should be more familiar with this aspect. Do you think it's possible for you to help us Earthlings in this aspect? "
The Illusion race was best at creating illusory weapons and had fake weapon spirits. Many civilizations that collected belief in the peripheral worlds liked to use these illusory weapons to bestow on their spokespersons. The Babi family also had many similar businesses. It could be said that among the circle of beggars in the peripheral worlds, the Babi family was one of the wealthiest.
Jhonas was dumbfounded and furrowed his eyebrows. "Boss, to be honest, I don't have the ability to influence the family's decisions."
He paused and then said, "As far as I'm concerned, I have some face, but I can't show it to the public. At most, I can prevent Earthlings from being bullied too badly during transactions."
Lao Wang nodded his head. He understood that this was already a great help. At the very least, it could reduce a lot of pressure on Ma Dong and the others. They were already in a very difficult situation, and it was very painful to be made difficult for them.
The Heavenly Treasures Street had just made contact with the Earth. In reality, Lao Wang had already understood the current situation of the Earth. Even though they had advanced to a quasi-level-5 civilization and their financial pressure had been greatly reduced, the debts that they had incurred over the past three years had already hurt them deeply. It would not be easy to recover. Furthermore, not every civilization would give them face. No matter what, they were only quasi-level-5 civilizations. At most, they would not specifically target them.
It could only be said that the Earth now had the conditions to slowly recuperate. However, Wang Zhong did not want to wait. Only the heavens knew whether he, Mu Zi, and the others would be able to have the last laugh in the Land. Accidents could happen at any time. If these pillars of support were gone, and the Earth had not rapidly developed before that happened, they would immediately return to their original state. They might even be in an even worse state than before.
He simply took out 10,000 Gold Star Stones.
This was the sum of money that Grai had given him previously. He had been prepared to keep it for his own expenses, but since he had entered the Celestial Honors Class, he would not lack cultivation resources in the future. Even if he needed to refine pills, the fragment world could reduce his costs to the minimum. He did not need to worry at all. Thus, there was not much meaning in keeping this sum of money on him. However, if it could be used to help the Earth gain a foothold in the Dimensional Commerce Alliance as soon as possible and develop a power that truly belonged to the Earth as soon as possible, then they would be able to deal with all storms.
"This sum of money should be enough for you to make some connections. If it's not enough, tell me. I can think of another way," said Lao Wang seriously.
"Hey, Boss, you're talking about this … This kind of thing is simple with money." Jhonas's eyes lit up. To be honest, this Boss was not wrong. He was very considerate and would never make things difficult for him over small matters. "Don't worry. Leave this matter to me. It's settled!"
Lao Wang was still clear about Jhonas's personality. This fellow was very sly and would not guarantee anything. If he dared to say that it was settled, then there would definitely be no problems. Lao Wang had never thought that Jhonas would help for free. In reality, the Babi family's creed was not bad. Giving money to do things did not hurt one's feelings. This was rather good.
Lao Wang had made a decision after careful consideration to find Jhonas through the Babi family's route and not through the Heavenly Treasures Street. After all, the strength of the Heavenly Treasures Street and the Babi family obviously could not be compared. Furthermore, in terms of trade in the peripheral worlds, the Babi family was the old business. Furthermore, this sum of money seemed to be a lot and was more than ten times the current assets of the entire Earth civilization. However, if he directly gave it to the Earth, it would be a one-off transaction. He might even spend it here and there and lose it in a few moments. It would be far better to use it to establish good business relations. That would be casting a long line to catch a big fish.
Furthermore, there had never been any lack of black sheep in the Earth civilization. Last time, Wales Karon had reminded Wang Zhong that even though there were only a few who had fallen, most of the time, a piece of rat sh * t was enough to spoil a pot of soup.
Humans were not suited to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Without pressure, the Earth civilization would not be able to grow. This was a deep-rooted bad habit that existed in any civilization. Since ancient times, thousands of races had multiplied and developed, but they had never escaped this rule. The Earth was no exception …
He had been in the Celestial Honors Class for a few days. Other than the various bestowments at the beginning, it seemed like there had suddenly been no sound. There had been no movement from the individual lessons that he had been anticipating from the elders, and there was no sign of the so-called test mission in the Celestial Honors Class either. It was unusually quiet. Lao Wang felt that entering the Celestial Honors Class was more like giving him a special honor, allowing him to show off and feel good …
Of course, Lao Wang was very calm. He was not the kind of person who could 'fly'. His senior seemed to still be stubbornly clinging to that piece of Soul Steel. Just now, he had asked Nini to ask when she would start the next step, but in the end, she had not left the pill house since the last time. It seemed like she would be in closed-door cultivation for quite a long time.
