"My sister?" Hearing Hong Xinyuan's question, Kerui smiled and happily said, "I'm afraid she won't be able to enter today. She'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Won't be able to enter?" Hong Xinyuan couldn't figure out what Kerui was talking about. "Why can't she enter? She has Grade 2 authority. Who would dare stop her? "
In the Upper Zone, as long as one had official status, one could enter and leave the Upper Zone freely. Although there were cases where one couldn't enter due to certain circumstances or was chased out for a short time, as long as one had Grade 2 authority, even the base layer's managers wouldn't dare stop them.
"No! That's not it! Nobody stopped her, "Kerui said, shaking her head. Chuckling, she continued," It's only because the Mental Path is activated today. "
"The Mental Path?" Realization dawned on Hong Xinyuan. However, he quickly realized that something was amiss. Looking at Xiang Shifeng, he asked, "Then, how did you get in?"
"He must've cleared the Mental Path and entered, right?" the beautiful woman sitting beside Hong Xinyuan said leisurely as she glanced at Shifeng.
"Cleared the Mental Path? How is that possible?! "Hong Xinyuan stared at Shifeng in disbelief.
No matter how he looked at it, Shifeng should be over 20 years old. If he wanted to clear the Mental Path, his mental strength had to reach Special Grade at the very least. In other words, his mental strength had to be at his level.
However, no mental monster had ever appeared in Yuantian City's Upper Zone before.
"That's right, Uncle Hong. Shi Feng has indeed cleared the Mental Path. You might not know this, but everyone in the hall was stupefied when they saw him," Kerui said, nodding, an excited expression appearing on her face.
As soon as Kerui finished speaking, the beautiful woman who had been seated before stood up and walked up to Shifeng.
"Hello, I am the base layer's manager, Xia Qingying," the beautiful woman introduced herself to Shi Feng. "I never thought that the person Old Hong mentioned would actually be you, who cleared the Mental Path today and reached Special Grade mental strength."
The beautiful woman's sudden action also shocked Hong Xinyuan who was standing at the side.
Who was Xia Qingying?
Xia Qingying was the general manager of Yuantian City's Upper Zone's base layer. Although Xia Qingying was only 26 years old, her identity and status were frightening. In terms of authority in the base layer, she was one of the top three bigwigs in the Upper Zone.
Yet, Xia Qingying had actually taken the initiative to introduce herself to Xiang Shifeng. This was ten times more exaggerated than Shifeng clearing the Mental Path.
After a moment of surprise, Hong Xinyuan immediately walked up to him.
"Shi Feng, General Manager Xia is a very busy person. Normally, even the base layer's supervisors have a hard time meeting him.
Did he finally manage to find some time today?
I'm here to register your identity and authority, "Hong Xinyuan explained, nodding.
Xia Qingying...
.............
...... to..
Naturally, he had to give Shi Feng a chance to survive in the Upper Zone.
......
"Hello, Chief Manager Xia." Shi Feng nodded. "Sorry to trouble you today."
..............
........
Inwardly, Hong Xinyuan also felt grateful to him.
"It's no trouble at all. As the manager, this matter should be handled by me. It's just that I'm usually too busy. Also, very few people come to register.
Hence, only a few months have passed since the registration began.
They've only registered once. " Xia Qingying chuckled. She then carefully examined Shifeng and said, "Your appearance is truly shocking. Not only did you clear the Mental Path before the age of 25, but you even cleared it in 13 minutes.
You only spent 13 minutes to do so. What kind of mental talent is this?
This is also my first time seeing such talent in the Upper Zone. "
"What?! Thirteen minutes?! "Hong Xinyuan was shocked.
He had thought that Shifeng had only cleared the Mental Path. He never thought that it would take so little time.
Even the other special members of the Upper Zone would take 40 minutes to complete the Mental Path.
The average time spent was around forty minutes, which was ten minutes longer than the average time spent by those under the age of twenty.
Yet, Shifeng only spent 13 minutes to complete the Mental Path?
He felt as if Xia Qingying was joking with him.
"I'm not mistaken?
This Shifeng just completed the Mental Path?
He even broke the record for those under the age of 25 in our Yuantian City Upper Zone. " Xia Qingying nodded. Looking at Xiang Shifeng, she chuckled and said, "If I don't register a talent like you as soon as possible, those old fellows above will most likely curse me to death."
At the side, Hong Xinyuan also came to a sudden realization.
With such frightening mental strength, Shi Feng was most likely close to becoming a mental strength master.
A mental strength master!
Not a single one existed in Yuantian City's Upper Zone's base layer. There were only a few in the middle layer. Moreover, every one of these mental strength masters possessed a status that could even frighten the Boulder Corporation.
Even if Shifeng wasn't a mental strength master yet, the various Upper Zones would most likely fight to recruit such a genius.
"You flatter me, General Manager Xia. I was just lucky. I believe it won't be long before many people in the Upper Zone surpass me."
In truth, Shifeng felt a little guilty about Xia Qingying's regard for him.
After all, he had only cleared the Mental Path through trickery. In terms of mental strength, he was most likely only at the Advanced standard. He was still far from reaching the Special standard.
According to his estimations, the Special standard should be close to Tier 5. Currently, he was only at the Intermediate standard of Tier 4. Hence, he was still far from reaching the Intermediate standard.
"After chatting for so long, let's get down to business." Looking at Shifeng's confused expression, Xia Qingying smiled faintly and said, "The registration of your identity is very simple. I only need to scan you with a device, and you will become an official member of Yuantian City's Upper Zone. The problem is, what reward should I give you?"
"Aren't the rewards for clearing the Mental Path fixed?" Shifeng asked curiously.
Previously, he had heard from Kerui that the Green God Company would reward him with 10,000 trade points and a bottle of Life Potion if he cleared the Mental Path.
Needless to say, Life Potions aside, trading points in the Upper Zone were as important as Coins in the outside world. This was because the Upper Zone's transactions were all conducted through the Green God Company's internal trading points. Moreover, depending on one's authority, the items one could exchange for each day were limited.
Those without authority could only exchange for 100 trade points per day.
Those with authority at Level 3 could exchange for 200 trade points per day.
Those with authority at Level 2 could exchange for 500 trade points per day.
Those with authority at Level 1 could exchange for 1,000 trade points per day.
Hence, in the Upper Zone, one trade point was equivalent to 10,000 Credits. However, 10,000 Credits was not the same as one trade point.
Some people could earn an unimaginable amount of Credits just by reselling their trade points in the Upper Zone. However, those who actually did so were usually poor. The various corporations operating in the Upper Zone were also happy to see such fools.
After all, one meal of the Green God Company's standard meal in the base layer cost 30 trade points. Those without authority could only eat three meals of the Green God Company's standard meal per day.
This was the equivalent of eating 300,000 Credits for a single meal!
Upon hearing this, the Shifeng couldn't help feeling that the Upper Zone was truly a different world from the one he lived in. Even if his physique had improved significantly, and ordinary food no longer had much meaning to him, 300,000 Credits should still be enough to last him several months. Yet, here, it was only enough for a single meal.
Moreover, this was only for a single meal. The base layer also had plenty of training facilities that could help improve one's physique quickly. There were even methods to improve one's mental strength. However, all of these methods cost trade points. Training in an ordinary training area cost 20 trade points per hour, while the advanced training area cost 50 trade points per hour.
One could say that even those with authority at Level 3 didn't have enough trade points to spend. Only those with authority at Level 2 could meet their daily needs.
Of course, if one didn't have the money to exchange for trade points, anyone with authority could accept work from the Green God Company and earn some trade points to maintain their daily lives in the Upper Zone.
Take the Shifeng for example. With Ling Yi's meager family fortune, she couldn't even afford an ordinary house in the Upper Zone.
Hence, 10,000 trade points was a huge fortune for a Shifeng.
"It's fixed. However, the reward is only for those under the age of 20," Xia Qingying said, nodding. Xia Qingying nodded and slowly said, "For people like you who can pass the Mental Path between the ages of 25 and 20, there are no rules, not to mention that you broke the record for passing the Mental Path under the age of 25."
"Can I be rewarded with Water of Life, then?" the Shifeng asked.
"Water of Life?" "Do you know that Water of Life is extremely precious even in the Green God Company? Let alone clearing the Mental Path, even if you become a mental strength master, obtaining a bottle of Water of Life is still a difficult task. On the surface, the Water of Life costs as much as 30,000,000 trade points. Moreover, you also need to spend 1,000,000 contribution points."
"It's that expensive?" The Shifeng was shocked.
"Is it expensive?" Xia Qingying shook her head and chuckled. "Do you know that Water of Life is one of the Green God Company's greatest masterpieces? Although it can't bring the dead back to life, as long as a person still has a breath left in them, they can fully recover. Only, the recovery time varies. It can even increase one's lifespan by 60 years.
"For ordinary people, 60 years is the equivalent of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Water of Life can extend one's lifespan and maintain one's youthful vitality. Do you still think this is expensive?"
"…" The Shifeng couldn't refute Xia Qingying's words.
To the leaders of these world-class corporations, money was fleeting. They could easily earn it back if they lost it. However, they only had one life. If they could get a second chance at life, they wouldn't hesitate to spend all their savings.
Take the ancient emperors for example, they would do anything for longevity.
Seeing the Shifeng's interest in Water of Life, Hong Xinyuan advised, "Shifeng, don't even think about Water of Life. Even the people living in the middle layer can't afford a bottle of Water of Life. Right now, you should prioritize improving your Concentration. So long as your Concentration improves, it won't be long before you enter the middle layer."
"That's right. Let's stop talking about Water of Life here," Xia Qingying said. She also felt that there was no need to continue talking about the Water of Life. After all, it was still too early for the Shifeng.
Afterward, Xia Qingying scanned the Shifeng with the optical computer on her wrist. Instantly, all of the Shifeng's data appeared on the optical computer.
"Your identity has been registered." Looking at the Shifeng's data, Xia Qingying said in satisfaction, "Now, let's talk about your reward.
"You have cleared the Mental Path and broken the Mental Path's record this time. As the base layer's general manager, I can give you two choices.
"The first choice will reward you with 500,000 trade points and 50 bottles of Life Potions.
"The second choice will reward you with an ordinary house in the base layer.
"Choose one of these two rewards."
