Haitian City, Upper Zone:
As a luxurious levitating car slowly descended before the Upper Zone's entrance, a man and a woman alighted from the car, attracting the attention of the several hundred youths waiting to take the test.
Meanwhile, the man and woman who alighted from the car were none other than Shi Feng and Muxin. However, at this moment, the boy and girl were looking at Muxin, confusion and confusion filling their eyes.
"Why is the Boulder Corporation's heir suddenly here in Haitian City's Upper Zone?"
"Could she be planning to transfer to our Haitian City's Upper Zone?"
"That shouldn't be possible, right? I heard that Miss Muxin recently made a mental breakthrough and obtained Grade 1 authority in Yuantian City's Upper Zone. With the Boulder Corporation's full support and the base layer's supervisor's support, she should have a chance of entering Yuantian City's middle zone in the future. Why would she come to our Upper Zone?"
The youths discussed Muxin's sudden appearance spiritedly. They couldn't understand why a famous person like Muxin would come here.
However, Muxin paid no attention to these youths' discussions. It was as if these people didn't exist at all.
"Why are there so many people taking the test in Haitian City's Upper Zone? There are at least ten times more people here than in Yuantian City's Upper Zone …" Shifeng couldn't help his surprise when he saw these youths.
Previously, only a few dozen people had taken the test in Yuantian City's Upper Zone. He found it hard to believe that there was such a huge difference between the two Upper Zones.
"Haitian City's Upper Zone does indeed have more people than Yuantian City's Upper Zone. It was also constructed earlier than Yuantian City's Upper Zone," Muxin said, shaking her head. She then shifted her gaze to the hundreds of young men and women waiting quietly in the distance. "However, these people aren't talents nurtured by the Green God Company. Instead, they were born in Haitian City's Upper Zone. This is also the annual testing period. Hence, so many people have come to take the test."
"Some corporations will even use the results of the test to determine the corporation's heir and its daily resource allocation. For these youths, this is most likely the most intense period of competition."
After saying so, a hint of helplessness appeared in Muxin's eyes.
Because of this kind of competition, Kerui's relationship with her wasn't very good since they were young. They had to compete everywhere, and compared to the life in the outside world, it was many times crueler.
"So that's how it is. No wonder these children's physiques are so strong." Shifeng looked at the young boys and girls and sighed.
Shi Feng had to admit that the Upper Zone's children were truly amazing. The youths and girls of the outside world couldn't compare to them at all. Any one of them could most likely beat up any expert below the martial arts master rank.
With such a physique at such a young age, Shi Feng's future potential would be far greater than that of children who trained from a young age in the outside world. If Shi Feng entered God's Domain, he would become even more amazing. At that time, the Tier 4 promotion would most likely be a piece of cake for Shi Feng.
At this moment, Shifeng finally understood why the various superpowers had so many Tier 4 and Tier 5 experts in the past. Just the group of young men and women in the Upper Zone alone could bring in a large number of Tier 4 experts.
"Let's go in as well." After taking a look at the time, Muxin said, "If the Mental Path opens like last time, we won't be able to find the girl you mentioned. After all, we are now residents of Yuantian City's Upper Zone, not Haitian City's Upper Zone."
Shifeng nodded in agreement with Muxin's words. He then followed Muxin into Haitian City's Upper Zone.
Although the Upper Zone's identity was universal to all Upper Zones, allowing one to enter and leave the Upper Zone freely, each Upper Zone was like an independent existence. Competition existed between the Upper Zones. In fact, some of the quests issued by the various Upper Zones involved competing with other Upper Zones. Hence, the residents of every Upper Zone viewed the residents of other Upper Zones with hostility.
Under normal circumstances, an Upper Zone's resident wouldn't go to another Upper Zone. After all, a single mistake could lead to conflict.
Meanwhile, when the several hundred youths saw Muxin and Shi Feng walk directly into the Upper Zone, they couldn't help feeling envious.
After all, those who could enter the Upper Zone after reaching the age of 20 were true Upper Zone residents, unlike them, who were still struggling to obtain an Upper Zone identity.
"Who is that man? He's actually with Muxin, the Boulder Corporation's heir, and even has a genius like Muxin lead the way for him?"
"He might be the son of some big shot in the middle zone. Otherwise, how could someone like Muxin do something like that?"
"Damn it! I'm so envious! If only I were the son or nephew of some mental strength master. I wouldn't have to struggle so hard to obtain an Upper Zone identity at all. I could even live in one of the middle layer's villas and train there! "
…
At this moment, some of the youths present looked at Shifeng, who had entered the Upper Zone, with envy and admiration. Although they were the children of major corporations, they were nothing in the Upper Zone. Only the people living in the middle zone were the true big shots, existences they could only look up to.
After entering the Upper Zone, Shifeng discovered that Haitian City's Upper Zone was indeed more populated than Yuantian City's Upper Zone. In fact, it was even more prosperous than Haitian City's Upper Zone.
Not only were there tall buildings lining the streets, but there were also mental strength training houses, which Yuantian City's Upper Zone did not have.
The mental strength training house wasn't particularly large. It was only the size of a basketball court, and it was only two stories tall. However, the house was crowded with people. Among these people were the children of the various major corporations. There were also talents nurtured internally by the Green God Company. There were even some heirs of major corporations lining up outside the house.
Such a scene was simply unheard of in Yuantian City's Upper Zone.
Even Muxin, who was leading the way, couldn't help her eyes from glowing when she saw the mental strength training house.
However, such a thing could only be wishful thinking.
After all, the notice outside the mental strength training house clearly stated that only those with Grade 2 authority or above in Haitian City's Upper Zone were qualified to use the house. People from other Upper Zones were not allowed to use the house.
"Isn't the Upper Zone open to all residents who have obtained an identity?" Shifeng was surprised when he saw the notice. "Why did Haitian City's Upper Zone set up such a rule? Isn't this unfair to the other Upper Zones' residents? "
The Upper Zone had always been a special place that placed great importance on mental strength. It was easy to imagine how attractive a mental strength training house would be to the Upper Zone's residents.
"It can't be helped. This mental strength training house is a training resource that Haitian City's Upper Zone won. Hence, the Green God Company allowed Haitian City's residents to use it exclusively. This is also why more corporations are willing to invest in Haitian City's Upper Zone than in other Upper Zones," Muxin said, shaking her head. Smiling bitterly, she continued, "If not for the Boulder Corporation's deep roots in Yuantian City's Upper Zone, we would've most likely come to Haitian City's Upper Zone to develop ourselves."
Shifeng wasn't particularly surprised by Muxin's decision. Although he had yet to experience the mental strength training house's effects, he knew that the Upper Zone's mental strength was everything. In fact, he even considered transferring his mental strength to Haitian City. After all, his mental strength was currently stuck at the peak of Tier 4, unable to reach Tier 5.
In fact, he had been consuming a lot of Phantom Potions recently. Even after consuming three bottles of Phantom Potion, he still felt that his mental strength was far from reaching Tier 5.
However, while Shifeng and Muxin were chatting, an argument suddenly broke out outside the mental strength training house's entrance.
"Lu Tiandi, don't go too far! I've already said that my adventurer team will never join you! "
A young girl with skin as fair as jade, with two ponytails, and wearing light blue sportswear, glared fiercely at a man in his early twenties in front of her. He was not only handsome, but also somewhat elegant. There was an indescribable anger in her eyes.
However, the young man paid no heed to the young girl's anger. On the other hand, a robust middle-aged man standing beside him smiled and said, "Miss Ji Luorong, you can choose not to accept my young master's invitation, but from now on, you can forget about exchanging resources with others in the Upper Zone. You should know full well that my young master has the power to do so in Haitian City's Upper Zone!"
"You!"
Nobody present dared to refute the robust middle-aged man's words. Even the young girl was at a loss for words.
After all, Lu Tiandi was the Starline Corporation's current heir. With the Starline Corporation's influence in Haitian City's Upper Zone, as long as the corporation gave the word, it would be impossible for anyone to purchase resources from others.
Looking at the young girl in sportswear, the robust middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Miss Ji Luorong, I advise you to listen to my young master's words and lead your adventurer team to join us. Otherwise, you can forget about staying in Haitian City's Upper Zone in the future. Nobody will sell you any resources. As for meeting your older sister, that's even more of a dream!"
Upon hearing the robust middle-aged man's words, many of the major corporations' members present looked at the young girl sympathetically.
In Haitian City's Upper Zone, even the major corporations didn't want to offend the Starline Corporation, let alone someone without any background.
If the young girl refused, everyone present could already foresee that it wouldn't be long before she couldn't continue living in Haitian City's Upper Zone due to the lack of resources.
However, just as the young girl fell silent, the robust middle-aged man revealed a smug smile, and everyone present sighed, a deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the room.
"Is that so? What if I sell my resources to this young lady? "
