Upper Zone, before the entrance to the Upper Zone:
As the melodious sound of a bell rang out, both Luo Hanbing and Muxin revealed looks of surprise on their faces.
Someone actually passed the test less than 20 minutes after entering? Muxin was surprised when she heard the sound of the bell.
The Mental Path was extremely important to the Upper Zone. Whenever someone cleared the Mental Path, a bell would ring, notifying everyone in the Upper Zone of the new member's arrival.
It would announce the arrival of a new member in the Upper Zone!
Now that the bell had rung, it meant that someone had already cleared the Mental Path. Moreover, the time it took to clear the Mental Path was inconceivable.
Normally, it would take at least 30 minutes to clear the Mental Path. After all, the Mental Path wasn't short. Normally, it would take roughly 30 minutes to walk the Mental Path. Not to mention, with every step one took, one would receive an intense mental impact.
"Good! This is great! He cleared the test in less than 20 minutes! It seems that kid really is a mental monster! " Luo Hanbing laughed in satisfaction. "That's true. I paid such a huge price to be his guide for nothing!"
As the invigilator of the test, as well as the guide for those who passed, the more outstanding a newcomer was, the higher the evaluation he would receive from the Upper Zone. Moreover, as the guide for those who passed, it would be easier for him to recruit newcomers.
If he could recruit a peerless genius like Yan Wuming, his status in Yuantian City's Upper Zone would rise as well.
Meanwhile, Muxin's complexion turned ugly.
If Luo Hanbing could recruit a mental monster like Yan Wuming, his status in the Upper Zone would definitely surpass Hong Xinyuan's in the future.
However, a few minutes later, the bell rang once more.
"Another person passed?"
Muxin was stunned when she heard the sound of the bell, and her complexion darkened further.
In Yuantian City's Upper Zone, the bell only rang a few times a year. Now, however, it actually rang twice in a single day. Such a thing wouldn't happen even once in a decade.
In the end, Luo Hanbing actually bumped into her …
"Hahaha! Amazing! The newcomer this time is really amazing! " Luo Hanbing couldn't help but laugh. Glancing at Muxin, he said, "Muxin, you're already a famous genius in Yuantian City's Upper Zone. Don't you have no future by following Old Hong?
Why don't you join my side now?
Maybe in less than a year or two, your mental strength will increase by another level?
At that time, your authority in the Upper Zone will also be upgraded to Level 1?
It's not something you can compare to now. "
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Supervisor Luo. But I'm doing quite well with Uncle Hong.
I believe it won't be long before my mental power reaches the level of Level One Clearance, "Muxin rejected without any hesitation.
Was Luo Hanbing not surprised by Muxin's rejection?
He said disapprovingly, "One step?
I hope you won't regret your decision today. "
In the Upper Zone, the most important factor was a person's mental strength. How could a person's authority in the Upper Zone be determined by their mental strength?
The higher the spiritual level?
The higher one's authority in the Upper Zone, the higher one's status would be, and the more resources one could obtain.
However, the growth of one's spirit was too difficult, and the older one got, the slower one's growth would be.
Like Muxin?
He had passed the Mental Path at the age of fifteen, and it had been judged as an extremely rare Advanced Mental Strength.
However, because Muxin was not an internal member of the company, her authority level was one level lower than members of the same mental strength level.
Muxin had only obtained Level 2 authority in the Upper Zone.
Back then, outsiders under the age of twenty had only obtained Level 3 authority after passing the Mental Path.
One could easily imagine the status of Level 2 authority.
Yet, after so many years?
Muxin's mental strength hadn't improved much.
Hence, she was still stuck at Level 2 authority.
If Muxin could improve her authority and reach Level 1, she would be like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate.
In Yuantian City's Upper Zone, there were less than 200 people with Level 1 authority. Meanwhile, Luo Hanbing's authority level was only one level higher than Level 1. He was only a supervisor in name.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Luo Hanbing stopped talking to Muxin.
In Luo Hanbing's opinion, Muxin was a piece of rotten wood. With Hong Xinyuan's meager resources, let alone giving all of them to Muxin, even Muxin's younger sister, Kerui, wouldn't be able to reach Level 2 authority.
As time passed by, Muxin grew more and more anxious.
Why hasn't she come out after so long? Did something happen to Kerui? Muxin looked at the time anxiously.
Although Kerui had already cleared the Mental Path and logically shouldn't fear the Mental Path's mental shock, that didn't mean that the mental shock was ineffective against her.
She would still feel pain. Only, the pain was still bearable.
"It's been almost an hour, yet she still hasn't come out. It seems she's done for." Luo Hanbing looked at his watch. Sneering, he said, "I've already said that if one isn't careful on the Mental Path, they'll have to stay in the hospital for several months. It's a pity that they'll have to stay in the Mental Path for several hours."
"Did something really happen?" Muxin's complexion paled at this thought.
Deactivating the Mental Path was very troublesome. Even if one had the authority to deactivate the Mental Path, it would normally take two to three hours to deactivate it. Reactivating the Mental Path was even more troublesome.
If one had to stay in the Mental Path for three to four hours while unconscious, they'd have to stay in the hospital for up to a month. In the worst-case scenario, one's mind would be severely damaged, and it would be extremely difficult to improve in the future.
Just as Muxin was starting to panic, her quantum watch suddenly rang. The caller was none other than Kerui.
"Kerui, what's going on over there?" Muxin asked angrily as she looked at Kerui on the screen. "Why haven't they come out yet?"
"Sis! None of this is important anymore. You don't know that something big has happened on the Mental Path! "Kerui said excitedly.
"Something big? What is it? Are you saying that two people have cleared the Mental Path? "Muxin was speechless when she heard Kerui's words.
What kind of situation was this? She was actually still concerned about such things?
"That's right. You don't know, but that Shifeng actually cleared the Mental Path!" Kerui's eyes were filled with excitement as she said, "At that time, everyone in the hall was stunned. I also hurried over and finally arrived at the communication area with great difficulty. I was so tired along the way."
"Shifeng … cleared the Mental Path?" Muxin suddenly felt as if her brain wasn't enough.
A Shifeng's real age was definitely over 20 years old. A person over 20 years old and under 25 years old had cleared the Mental Path. This was something that had never happened in Yuantian City's Upper Zone.
"Mhm. I knew you wouldn't believe me, either. But look, he's already here." Kerui adjusted the camera. Not only did the Shifeng's figure appear on the screen, but Yan Wuming was also staring at the Shifeng with fighting spirit in his eyes. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. We're about to enter the Upper Zone now."
After saying so, Kerui disconnected the call, leaving Muxin, who still hadn't recovered from her daze.
"Impossible!" Luo Hanbing couldn't believe his ears when he overheard Muxin and Kerui's conversation. "That kid is over 20 years old. How could he have cleared the Mental Path?"
As soon as Luo Hanbing finished speaking, he received a notification from the quantum watch on his wrist.
Following which, a holographic data table appeared on his watch. This data table contained the details of the newcomers who had cleared the Mental Path this time.
First place: Shifeng. Cleared in 13 minutes 41 seconds. Age: Under 25 years old. Not a company member. Mental Appraisal: Special Grade. Upper Zone Authority: Level 1.
Second place: Yan Wuming. Cleared in 18 minutes 33 seconds. Age: Under 20 years old. Member of the company. Mental Appraisal: Advanced. Upper Zone Authority: Level 1.
"Special Grade?!"
Muxin was dumbfounded as she looked at the data table.
Although Shifeng's performance in God's Domain had been astonishing, she had never thought that Shifeng's mental strength standard would be so frightening as well.
Special Grade!
This was the mental strength standard she had been pursuing all this time. However, no matter how hard she tried, she was still a long way from reaching this standard. She even felt that she had no hope of reaching this standard.
"Damn it! How can this be? "Luo Hanbing's complexion paled.
He had unknowingly offended a mental monster. Moreover, it was obvious that Shifeng had a close relationship with Hong Xinyuan.
…
Meanwhile, in the innermost part of the Mental Path, Shifeng and the others had already arrived at the floating escalator.
"The gravity here is actually getting stronger?"
Shifeng discovered that the deeper they ventured into the tunnel, the stronger the gravity would become. After walking for less than ten minutes, the gravity inside the tunnel was already twice that of the outside world.
When the floating escalator finally left the tunnel, Shifeng was stupefied.
This wasn't just because the gravity outside the tunnel had become three times that of the outside world.
At the innermost part of the tunnel was actually a floating mountain. Several floating escalators connected to this mountain, which had a radius of over ten kilometers.
Many tall buildings stood atop this floating mountain. Clouds and mist shrouded the mountain, making it impossible to see the top of the mountain. It was as if this place was a paradise.
"How is it? Are you stunned? " Kerui said proudly when she saw Shifeng's shocked expression. "Anyone who comes to the Upper Zone for the first time would never think that the Upper Zone would actually be so deep underground. Moreover, there's actually such an inconceivably large space underground."
"Indeed, it's inconceivable." Shifeng had no choice but to admit this.
He had never seen or heard of such a special space. It was no wonder so many people, who knew a little about the Upper Zone, wanted to live here.
Here, just breathing in the air made him feel comfortable. If he could live here for a long time, longevity would no longer be a dream.
Kerui looked at the floating escalator that had stopped at the foot of the mountain. She then opened the escalator doors and walked down.
"Quick! You have Grade 1 authority now! Let's hurry to the registration office and have a look! There might be some good rewards! "
Kerui urged as she looked at Shifeng, who was still on the escalator.
PS: Thank you to Valou for the 10000 reward!
(I still owe you monthly votes. I'll pay you back today. I've already reached the 50000 reward. I'll pay you back tomorrow. Tomcat needs to sort out the game's storyline. I'm afraid you won't have much time to catch your breath for the upcoming storyline.)
