Shifeng was also very curious about the Upper Zone. However, just as he was about to step out of the escalator, he heard a voice calling out to him.
"Wait a moment!"
The person who called out was none other than the short-haired and thin Yan Wuming.
"Do you need something?" Shifeng asked curiously.
Shi Feng was also quite curious about Yan Wuming. Back in God's Domain, Yan Wuming's image was tall and mighty. Yan Wuming didn't look like an elegant Grand Wizard at all. Instead, he looked like a God of War looking down on all living beings. Now, however, Yan Wuming looked like an inexperienced youth.
"What's your name?" Yan Wuming asked.
"Shifeng," Shifeng replied simply.
"Shifeng? I'll remember it! " Yan Wuming repeated the name several times. He then looked at Xiang Shifeng and said seriously, "Although I lost to you in this mental strength competition, I'll soon reach the Special Concentration standard. At that time, I'll challenge you again!"
"Challenge me?" Shifeng smiled. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm afraid I don't have the time for that. I'm very busy."
He wasn't lying about this. Setting aside the matter of Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, he had plenty of matters to attend to in the Guild. There were also plenty of quests waiting for him to complete.
In the past, he hadn't been strong enough. Now that he had reached Tier 4, he could start doing many things.
Hence, he really didn't have the time to deal with Yan Wuming's challenge.
"That's not up to you!" Yan Wuming ignored Shifeng's thoughts. Forcefully, he said, "My goal is to become the number one player in Yuantian City's Upper Zone. You are my first obstacle. Only by defeating you can I get closer to my goal!"
"It seems you really do like challenges." Shifeng wasn't particularly surprised by Yan Wuming's response. After giving the matter some thought, he said, "How about this? I'll give you a chance to challenge me. So long as you succeed, you can challenge me at any time. What do you think?"
"Speak," Yan Wuming said confidently.
"Do you play God's Domain?" Shifeng asked.
"I've been playing for some time now." Looking at Shifeng strangely, Yan Wuming said, "Are you saying that you want me to defeat you in God's Domain?"
When Yan Wuming's question, Yan Wuming's.
He immediately smiled.
"You're really confident?
Do you know who he is? You want to defeat him in God's Domain? "Kerui asked Yan Wuming.
"No matter who it is, I will definitely win!"
Yan Wuming did not waver at all?
He only had some doubts about the identity of the Shifeng.
However, these were all trivial matters. Defeating the Shifeng was the most important thing.
"No! You misunderstood. "Shifeng smiled.
"I don't want you to defeat me in God's Domain. You just need to defeat one of my friends."
"Alright." Yan Wuming nodded.
"Tell me his name?
Once I reach Tier 3, I'll defeat that friend of yours and challenge you! "
"She's called Violet Cloud in God's Domain." Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief when Yan Wuming agreed.
"You can go to Silverwing City to look for her.
As long as you can defeat her, I'll accept your challenge. "
Since Yan Wuming had taken the initiative to approach him, Shi Feng naturally could not let him off the hook. If he could rope in the future Yan Wuming into Ling Yi, wouldn't that make Ling Yi even more powerful?
Yan Wuming's peak combat power would increase significantly.
"No problem! I'll look for her soon!" Yan Wuming had no doubts about Shi Feng's decision.
His expression remained confident.
Only, the way Kerui looked at Yan Wuming had changed.
That's right. She was looking at him with sympathy.
"I hope you won't despair too much when you meet that Violet Cloud," Kerui said as she looked at Yan Wuming.
She silently prayed for Yan Wuming.
She had seen Violet Cloud's strength with her own eyes.
Not even those old monsters from Super Guilds were a match for her.
Even Mythology's legendary commander, the Divine Spear Demon, had only managed to fight her to a draw.
Trying to defeat the current Violet Cloud?
Throughout God's Domain, only a handful could do so.
"Let's go."
Shifeng smiled and shook his head as he looked at Kerui, who was silently praying for Yan Wuming. He then walked towards the distant street.
Upon hearing that they were going to register, Kerui immediately grew excited. She then dragged Shifeng all the way to the tallest building at the foot of the mountain, leaving Yan Wuming alone as he silently waited for his guide to arrive.
When Shifeng arrived on the floating mountain, he immediately felt his body and soul become much more substantial. At this moment, the gravity in the outside world, which was more than three times the normal gravity, became much easier to adapt to.
So, this is the real Upper Zone?
Shock filled Shi Feng's heart.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to move under three times the normal gravity. However, due to his astonishing physique, Shi Feng did not feel much of an impact. Even so, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Yet, in the Upper Zone, this uncomfortable feeling actually disappeared. It was as if a special kind of energy was constantly nourishing his weak body, allowing his physique to continuously improve under the high gravity and recovery conditions. Eventually, his physique reached a level unimaginable in the outside world.
Compared to the arduous training in the outside world, the Upper Zone's training was a joke.
With such a powerful physique, as long as his body did not suffer any injuries, he would have no problems living up to 120 years.
"Now, you understand how different the Upper Zone is from the world you know, right?" Kerui said, smiling as she walked. "As long as the people here live here, their physiques will grow stronger with every passing moment. They won't even need to undergo any training. In the end, their physiques won't lose to the Henglian masters in the outside world.
"The outside world has always rumored that the lifespan of humans in the Upper Zone has reached 150 years. However, in reality, 150 years is only the lifespan of humans in the Upper Zone's base layer. As you can see, the mountainside and mountaintop areas are the middle and top areas. The people living there have truly terrifying physiques and lifespans. Currently, the middle area's average lifespan has reached 180 years, while the top area's lifespan has broken through the 200-year mark.
"In ancient times, 200 years is more than enough to replace a dynasty. Meanwhile, living up to 120 years is only the equivalent of entering the prime of life."
At this point, Kerui couldn't help feeling a sense of yearning.
"Why is there a hierarchy in the Upper Zone's residences?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"Of course. The Upper Zone's mountain is only so large, and space is limited. Even with the Boulder Corporation's financial strength and status, we can only live in the base layer. The middle layer's mountainside isn't a place where one can live with money and status," Kerui said helplessly. "To live in the middle layer, one needs to reach a certain level of authority. For example, you currently have Level 1 authority.
"Level 1 authority is the highest authority one can have in the base layer. So long as one reaches Level 1 authority, one will be able to live in the middle layer."
"What do you mean by Level 1 authority?" Shifeng asked in confusion.
He only had a rough idea of the limits of authority, but he had no idea what the limits were.
"By the way, I haven't explained it to you in detail yet." After a pause, Kerui said, "In the Upper Zone, money and status are the least important. What's most important is one's Mental Strength and authority.
"Authority is roughly divided into Level 1 to Level 3. The higher your authority, the better the items you can purchase from the Green God Company. You can think of the Upper Zone as the Green God Company's trading market. Level 3 authority is the lowest level of authority, and it is also the market where you can purchase items of the lowest quality. However, compared to those who don't have authority, it's already much better. At the very least, you can purchase an ordinary house in the base layer without having to spend a lot of money to live in a public rental house.
"With Level 2 authority, you can purchase items that you can't purchase in the outside world, such as the Life Potion that the Green God Company only sells in auctions. At the same time, you can purchase a villa in the base layer and have your own private space.
"With Level 1 authority, not only will you be able to purchase more items, but you can also participate in the Green God Company's contribution competition once every three months. As long as you rank among the top three, you can live in the middle layer for three months.
"You've seen for yourself the improvement effects of the base layer. The middle layer is even more exaggerated than the base layer. After visiting the middle layer once, nobody will want to come down here again. Take you for example. If you live in the base layer, you won't easily leave the base layer. Moreover, you can purchase items that you can't even imagine in the middle layer. Rumor has it that the Green God Company's Water of Life can be purchased in the middle layer.
"The Water of Life is much stronger than the Life Potions available in the outside world. Rumor has it that the Water of Life can repair any damage perfectly. It can even extend one's lifespan."
At this point, Kerui shook her head and sighed helplessly.
For those who lived in the base layer, their yearning for the middle layer was similar to the yearning the outside world had for the Upper Zone. Only, entering the middle layer was simply too difficult. Just obtaining Level 1 authority was enough to drive many people into despair, not to mention competing with so many other people with Level 1 authority for those three slots.
"The Water of Life?" Shifeng could not help his shock when he heard Kerui's words. He never thought that there really was something more powerful than the Life Potion. Moreover, the Water of Life could even heal all damage. "In that case, healing Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei shouldn't be a problem."
"Then, how can I participate in this contribution competition?" Shifeng could not help but ask Kerui.
Originally, he had only come here to try his luck and see if there was a way to heal Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei in the Upper Zone. Now that he had found a way to heal Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, the rest would be simple.
"Are you really going to participate?" Kerui was speechless as she looked at Shifeng. "Do you know what kind of people are participating in the contribution competition?"
"What kind of people?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"Almost all of them are heirs of major corporations. Moreover, they are all the most outstanding members of their generation," Kerui said. "You can't even imagine the resources behind them. Right now, you can't even afford an ordinary house in the base layer, which costs one million trade points, let alone earn contribution points from the Green God Company.
"You currently have Grade 1 authority. You can only exchange 10,000 Credits for one point per day. You can only earn points and a small number of Contribution Points by working in the Upper Zone or completing some quests," Shi Feng said, nodding.
"Do you know how difficult it is to earn contribution points from the Green God Company? It's not a problem that can be solved with money. You'll have to obtain various rare resources to exchange for contribution points from the Green God Company or discover rare talents for the Green God Company. It's impossible for you to do that. "
Shifeng felt a headache coming on when he heard Kerui's words.
He never thought that it would be so difficult. The various rare resources available in the real world were nothing more than a dream for Ling Yi. As for money, there was still a chance.
As for discovering talents for the Green God Company, that was probably even more difficult than contributing rare resources.
"No, it's not like you don't have a chance," Kerui said as she shook her head. "Recently, the Green God Company has begun purchasing God's Domain's Seven Luminaries Crystals in bulk. Moreover, the exchange rate is quite high. One unit of Seven Luminaries Crystal can be exchanged for 1,000 trade points and 10 contribution points. However, for Ling Yi, it's still impossible.
"The competition has been going on for nearly a month now, and the lowest contribution points have reached 16,000, while the highest contribution points have reached 110,000. Even if you sell Ling Yi now, you still won't be able to gather that many Seven Luminaries Crystals."
"No wonder so many major corporations suddenly decided to invest in God's Domain. So, it's because of Seven Luminaries Crystals?" Shifeng suddenly realized and rejoiced.
Those major corporations definitely didn't lack money. However, if they wanted to enter the middle layer, money alone wasn't enough. They also needed various rare resources. Meanwhile, obtaining Seven Luminaries Crystals in God's Domain was undoubtedly much easier than obtaining the rare resources the Green God Company needed in the real world.
"If you really want to participate, you can register at the registration office. As for how to earn contribution points, the people there will tell you in detail," Kerui said, shaking her head. Seeing Shifeng's unwillingness to give up, she shook her head and pointed at the nearby 100-story building.
Shifeng nodded in agreement, a plan forming in his mind.
If it were anything else, he would indeed be helpless. However, if it were Seven Luminaries Crystals, he wasn't completely helpless. Only, it would be very troublesome.
Following which, Shifeng followed Kerui into the Green God Company's base building.
The Green God Company's building was sparsely populated. Even when they arrived at the registration office on the second floor, they only saw a beautiful woman in her mid-20s and Hong Xinyuan, whom they had met once before.
Looking at the two's conversation, it was obvious that Hong Xinyuan's status was lower than this beautiful woman's. In fact, Hong Xinyuan even treated this woman with respect.
"Kerui, you're finally here." Hong Xinyuan breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw Kerui and Shifeng. Strangely, she asked, "Why isn't Muxin here? Didn't she come with you? "
