Floating Island - Triple S Talent

"Welcome, sir. How can we help you?"

A female receptionist greeted Lein and Nita.

"We'd like to report something related to a mission," Lein replied.

He then explained their journey during the patrol and also mentioned destroying the flying ship with the Sky Mortar.

"Alright, sir. I will make a record of it," the receptionist said while working on something behind the desk.

A few minutes passed, and the female receptionist finally spoke to Lein.

"Thank you for the report, sir. You have earned an additional 5,000 points as a mission bonus."

"Please check your War Badge."

Lein was curious about the number of contribution points he had, so he checked his War Badge.

[War Badge]

- Name: Lein

- Power Core: System | Tier-2

- Rank: Silver

- Contribution Points: 11,200

- Origin: Divine Sky Realm

A small smile appeared on Lein's face when he saw his contribution points.

They had been in the Guandu realm for less than six hours, yet his points had already exceeded 10,000.

He then checked the Event Ranking panel.

[Event Ranking]

1. William Anderson - 21,850

2. Jackson - 17,600

3. Bai Qi - 13,000

4. Mizayo - 12,750

5. Lein - 11,200

...

16. Laras - 4,600

...

21. Nita - 1,300

"Rank 5" Lein's day brightened a bit when he saw his name on the event ranking. Several congratulatory messages popped up.

- (Laras) Congratulations, brother Lein, for entering the top 10.

- (Dion) Brother Lein... Amazing, thank you for the silver badge you gave me.

- (Haikal Emanuel) Young master Lein is extraordinary, keep it up, young master Lein.

...

Everyone in the World Market alliance chat column also sent encouraging messages.

[Alliance Chat: World Market]

- (Pandawa) Amazing, our alliance leader is very strong.

- (Warni) Rank 5?... Wow.... The Indonesian alliance can't even enter it!!!

- (Strongest Man) The alliance leader earned 11,000 points in 6 hours? I can't even get 100 points.

- (Sherly) Alliance leader... Please take care of the alliance for Nita.

- (Herman) Hey... If the alliance leader stays in the top 10 until the end of the event, I'll share 10,000 energy crystals with 10 people.

...

The World Market alliance already had more than 6,000 official members. Only official members could enter the alliance group chat.

The entire alliance chat was filled with praise for Lein. He only replied with thanks and told them to keep striving and not to be complacent on the first day.

"Alright, thank you, miss. The points have been added."

Lein thanked the female receptionist, and then they left the war office building.

"Nita, what do you think about building a store in the Guandu realm?"

Lein asked Nita, who seemed a bit better than before.

"Good idea, brother... It's okay," Nita replied casually.

Her voice was back to normal, and there was even a cheerful tone to it. However, her face still looked a bit gloomy.

"Okay, before that... Let's eat something at a restaurant first," Lein said enthusiastically, raising his right hand high.

Hearing the invitation and the excitement from her brother, Nita let out a small laugh.

"Let's go!!!"

Nita seemed to have gained some positive energy. She also raised her right hand and shouted with joy.

And so, the siblings headed to one of the restaurants in the Heaven News city area.

Eastern Part of Heaven News City

A middle-aged man was explaining the rental prices of land and buildings to a pair of young people.

The young people were Lein and Nita. They planned to rent a place to establish a branch of the World Market Alliance Store.

"Mr. Sun, what is the rental price for this place and building?" Lein asked, pointing to an area on the map.

"This building and area are quite busy, young master Lein. The lowest price is 350 mid-tier energy crystals per month," said Sun Fute, the landowner, providing some price details.

Lein made a quick calculation. 3,500 mid-tier crystals are equivalent to 3,500,000 energy crystals. This means if they sell level 20 weapons at 5,000 each, they would need to sell 700 weapons every month, or 23 weapons every day.

Since the price was acceptable and considering that the environment of Guandu was a mid-tier realm, Lein agreed.

"Alright, sir. Let's make a one-year agreement," Lein said.

Mr. Sun was very excited to hear that Lein was making an agreement, and a one-year agreement at that! When else would he get such a wealthy client like young master Lein?

Mr. Sun took out a contract paper, which explained the one-year agreement. Lein would have permission to operate in the agreed area.

After signing, Lein took out a pouch containing 42 high-tier crystals. Yes, Lein only had 10,000 mid-tier crystals. Mid-tier crystals were not urgent at the moment. For Lein, high-tier or mid-tier crystals were the same.

"Hehehe... Young master Lein is very generous."

Mr. Sun's eyes sparkled when he saw the 42 high-tier crystals in the pouch.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun."

"Thank you, thank you, young master Lein."

They shook hands and completed the agreement.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Mr. Sun said respectfully.

Lein now realized that besides strength, wealth also brought respect from people in the cultivation realm.

"Old Sun's days are numbered," Lein thought.

Lein watched Mr. Sun leave, then turned his gaze to the three-story building in front of him. The building's surface area was 30 meters wide and 50 meters long.

When they entered the building, they saw high-quality wooden walls. The building was dust-free, seemingly maintained and cleaned daily.

Although there was no furniture or decorations, Lein was very satisfied with the building's condition.

"What do you think, Nita?" Lein asked his sister beside him.

"It's very nice, brother. When will we move in?" Nita replied.

"We will furnish and accessorize it tomorrow, then instruct some alliance members to guard the store," Lein explained.

They checked other parts of the building up to the third floor. On the third floor, there was a fairly large window. The view outside the window was truly stunning.

Lein and Nita could see the neatly lined houses of Heaven News City's citizens along the city's main street. The crowded activity of people passing by, buying and selling with the shops along the roadside, was clearly visible from the third floor.
