More paintings, sculptures, etc,  were auctioned, and were sold in the hundreds of thousands and some were sold in millions. You might say the foundation is exploiting the kids, but it isn't. They wanted to give the kids the confidence in themselves, that they are not useless or a 'worthless leech' that only knows how to take. They can earn money to help themselves and the kids like them too. They weren't as helpless as they thought they were. Of course, they can't auction all artworks of the kids since there are a lot of them, and if they did, it will take days.

To be honest, most of the artworks aren't that amazing, but the guests are willing to fork out a lot of money. Either they do it for their prestige or just wanted to help the foundation, at the end of the day, everyone have their own agendas. And by trying to fulfill their own agendas, in return, the kids gains financial support. It is safe to say that most, if not all, gained some type of benefits in this charity gala. 

The last item to be auctioned, is a 106x70" painting. "This painting is made by the kids who have some type of a handicap. Some children doesn't have hands but have feet, some have no feet but have hands or no limbs at all. They used what they have to imprint a colour that they have chosen to the canvas. Again, there is no base price for bidding. So, you can throw how much money as much as you can."

The painting have obvious hand and foot prints and some swooshes of colours. It was colourful and a bit messy, you could say it was an organized mess. There is something about it, that evokes some sort of emotions to the viewer. It might evoke sadness to a certain viewer, but it might also evoke hope to some, and etc.  

Some were getting ready to bid, when someone beat them to it.

"$1million!" A politician in his 50's raised his number.

"$1.5 million!" A fairly heavy middle aged lady raised her number.

"$2 million!" CFO Chen raised his number.

"$3, million!" Almost everyone looked at where the bid came from. It came from a good-looking man in his 30's. 

"$3 million from President Lei! Any higher than that?"

The bidding war escalated until it reached $6.3 million.

"Any higher than President Lei's bid of $6.3 million? Anyone?"

"$10 million." Some guests gasps when they heard the bid, even for a painting from a legitimate painter don't usually sell that much, much more from amateur kids. 

Almost everyone recognized the man, it was President Tan. Finally, he made his move.

"$10 million from President Tan! Any higher than that?"

Silence ensued, as if no one wanted to bid anymore.

"$10 million going once,.... going twice.."

"$12 million!" More gasps can be heard. Lei looked at Angelo's and raised his glass to him, as if giving a toast. If eyes could speak, he might have had said, 'give me your best shot brother'.

"$15 million." Angelo raised his number as if he was just bidding in the tens, instead of millions.

"$15 million! Any higher than that!?" 

"$18.5 million!" Lei counter-bid. Lei looked at Angelo again, this time he was smiling so widely, as if egging Angelo to bid higher than him.

"$25 million." Angelo ignored Lei's immaturity.

Loud gasps could be heard. This bidding war is something else. 

"$25 million from President Tan!!! President Lei?"

"$35 million." Lei countered while still smiling, but this time, the corner of his mouth is twitching subtly, either from irritation or amusement, no one knows.

"$100 million." Again, Angelo counter-bid, as if he was just not bidding in the hundred million mark. This time, the ballroom went silent. Don't get them wrong, they heard about painting being sold in the hundred million mark, or over that, but never about a clearly amateur painting in a charity event.

"Hun..ha..this.. wow... Wow! $100 freaking million from President Tan!!! Oh my good Lord! I think I'm about to pass out. President Lei?"

The guests looked at him. Lei gestured a cutting motion to his neck, to say that he is out.

"$100 million! Going Once!... Going Twice!... Aaaaand Sold! The painting is sold for a $100 million to President Tan! Let us give a round of applause for our big spender for the night, and still is the 'Charity King'. President Tan, could you please come up on stage."

Everyone clapped while Angelo head to the stage. Upon reaching the stage, the clapping became more resounding.

Anne who was also gasping awhile ago because of the amount of money being announced during the bidding wars, gasps in a different way upon seeing the man who won the last bid. She stared hard at the tall and clearly a handsome man on the stage, to see if it really was the man that she saw doing some 'unmentionable things' on the lavatory awhile ago. It looks like it is him. She rubbed her eyes, and stared at the man again. No matter how many times she stared, it doesn't change the fact that he is the man that she saw on the lavatory. 

While Anne is absorbed in her own world, she didn't notice that Clara who was beside her noticed her reactions upon seeing her son on the stage. She was about to tell Anne that the handsome man on the stage is her son, but upon seeing Anne's peculiar reactions, she just let Anne stare, or rather, ogle at her son. It seems that she didn't need to lift her fingers to match them together, because.. look at her dear Anne. The two might have some connections, or some type of relationship. 'Hmm.. are they.. oh my. I hope so.' With that thought in her mind, Clara became ecstatic all of a sudden.

If only she knew, it is just some wishful thinking from her.

"President Tan, you broke your $80 million bid last year. What made you spend a $100 million tonight, might I ask?"

"It was because I believe and support the Phoenix Foundation's cause." As usual, Angelo replied curtly.

"Uh.. that is really thoughtful of you President Tan." Ken Li happened to look at the foundation's President. "It seems that President Ding wanted to say something."

The Phoenix Foundation's President - Kevin Ding went up the stage. Ken Li gave his mic to the man.

"President Tan, I really appreciate your donations and of your trust in us into delivering what we promised to do. The foundation will always be grateful to you. I hope you won't stop with what you are doing, because the kids deserved to at least have someone to be their anchor in the roughest storms of their lives. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you." Upon saying his heartfelt thanks, President Ding bowed towards Angelo.

Angelo who was suddenly bowed to by a respected senior, immediately went to the man and helped him out of his bowing stance. "Please President Ding, you don't have to do this."

"It is a gratitude that I wanted to give it to you. You earned it." President Ding tapped Angelo in his right shoulder and shook his hands. "Again, let us give a round of applause to President Tan." Everyone clapped loudly. 

After the clapping died down, President Ding looked at the guests with gratitude. "And of course I wouldn't forget, thank you all for supporting our cause." He bowed to the guests. "Please, give yourselves a round of applause. You all deserve it." Everyone clapped loudly.

Everyone went back to socializing after the auction. Maya and King went to the lavatory after finding Anne and meeting with Clara. Speaking of Clara, she can't help her excitement and finally went and asked Anne.

"Anne dear, I can't help but notice of your peculiar reaction towards that handsome young man - President Tan. Do you perhaps, have a.... relationship with him."

Anne who was sipping her champagne, almost spit it out. "No!.. I mean, definitely not. I don't know the man."

"Huh?.. but.. but you were staring at him so intently." Clara suppressed her disappointment.

"Well, I don't know him but  coincidentally, I already have met him twice now. I don't know if I have to say this.. but..Sigh. You know what...I really shouldn't, I might have misunderstood."

"What is it? Tell me. You can tell me, I promise I won't blabber about it. Pretty please?" Clara's pushiness reared its head again. 

"Well.. I saw him in the lavatory..." she was about to continue when Anne was interrupted.

"What?!" Clara whispered shout. "You mean he was in the ladies lavatory?!" Clara all of a sudden felt her chest tighten.

"No.. he was in the men's lavatory with a man on his... uh.."

"A man? Well it was a men's lavatory, of course there's going to be men in there. By the way, why are you in there?" Clara thought maybe Rod was with Angelo during their bathroom break.

"I was not!" Anne whispered shout. "I was just passing by after I was done with my visit to the 'Ladies' lavatory, ok. The door of the men's lavatory was open and I heard some pleading...and.. uh.. it seems like President Tan's hand was on the man's head. To be honest, I really didn't see clearly, because president Tan's back is facing me." Anne doesn't know how to proceed.

"Pleading? Pleading for what?" Clara felt like dying out of curiosity.

Anne went beside her, and went to Clara's ear to whisper the rest. She hesitated for a bit, but decided to say it anyway. "Well... there was a man on his knees, hugging President Tan's leg and asking to 'give it to him." 

And that is when all hell broke loose.

“I don’t believe I have fallen in love with you at first sight. That is too unrealistic. But what I’m sure of is, you’ve captivated me on our very first meeting.”     
                                                                                                          I'm already turning 35 years old this year and still a bachelor since birth. Don't get me wrong, I stayed single, not because I'm gay, nor asexual, nor unattractive, it is just because I haven't found the one yet. I do get attracted with some ladies sometimes but not to the point where I feel like there's a connection - a spark, that can be fostered into something. 

A memorable moment where it can be a bridge between two people and be the start of something your life has been needing for - love.

“Huh....??” Say what?! Can someone please wake me up now!

Chapter 749: Little Bunny, Marunong Ka Ba?
Nang makarating sila, nasurpresa si Ning Xi. Hindi niya inasahan na ganito kalaki ang shooting range. Nasa 1500 square feet ito at mayroong dalawang standard multipurpose shooting ranges, pareho silang mayroong siyam na professionally designed targets. Isa pa, kumpleto rin ang koleksyon nila ng baril.
Mayroon pang naka-display na weapon exhibition na may iba't ibang klase ng handguns, rifles, machine guns, at iba pa. May mga sundalo na pumupunta doon para mag-ensayo.
Tumitingin lang sa paligid si Ning Xi at hindi sa harap niya. Kung hindi siya ginagabayan ni Lu Tingxiao, tiyak na mauuntog siya sa poste.
Tama ang pinsan ni Lu Tingxiao nang sinabi niya na bine-baby masyado si Ning Xi. Palagi niyang iniiwan ang utak sa bahay kapag kasama si Lu Tingxiao. Sa totoo lang, sinusundan niya lang ang bawat hakbang ni Lu Tingxiao.
Nang makarating sila sa shooting range, pumili ng baril si Mo Lingtian at balak maghiganti. "Ziyao, tara magpaligsahan ulit tayo! Natalo ako sa horse riding pero babawian kita sa shooting!"
"Sige payag ako!"
"Ako rin!"
...
Balanse sa babae at lalaki ang grupo ng kaibigan ni Mo Lintian. Malaki ang interes ng mga lalaki sa mga baril habang wala namang alam ang mga babae dito. Mayroon lang dalawa sa kanila ang nagtatanong-tanong ng payo tungkol sa pipiliin nilang baril.
Natapos agad silang mamili ng baril. Sinuot na nila ang protective glasses at earmuffs bilang paghahanda sa pagbaril.
Bang bang bang! Matapos ang ilang putok ng baril, lumabas na ang mga scores sa tally counter. Ang pinakamataas na pwedeng makuha ay 10 points at hanggang one decimal place ang kinakalkula ng counter.
Karamihan sa kanila ay nakakuha ng 8 points habang ang mas may karanasan ay nakakuha ng 9.
Nakakuha ng 9.2 si Lu Xinyan at masaya siya dito. "Nakakuha ako ng mas mataas sa 9! Swerte!"
Pagkalingon niya, bumagsak ang panga sa mga scores nina Mo Lingtian at Guan Ziyao. Pareho silang nakakuha ng 9.9 points. Isang napakahusay na tagumpay!
"Wow! Bro Tian, Sis Ziyao, pareho kayong magaling dito!"
Sa huli, lumabas na ang scores para sa tatlong pagsubok nila. Nakakuha si Mo Lingtian ng 9.9, 9.7 at 9.8 habang si Guan Ziyao naman ay nakakuha ng 9.9 at isang 9.7. Natalo niya si Mo Lingtian ng 0.1 lang ang diperensiya.
Siyempre, ang score ni Guan Ziyao ang pinakamataas sa lahat. Namangha ang karamihan sa kanila.
"Siyempre, siya pa! Ang galing talaga!"
"Ziyao, pinapahiya mo naman kaming mga lalaki eh!"
Nagreklamo si Mo Lingtian, "Ano ba yan! Natalo na naman ako! Hindi ito kasama sa bilang, isa pa ulit!"
Tumatawa ang lahat, "Hahaha! Mo Lingtian, tigilan mo na 'yan! Sa ating lahat, si Lu Tingxiao lang naman ang makakatalo kay Ziyao!"
Lumingon si Mo Lingtian kay Lu Tingxiao at sinabi, "Lu Tingxiao! Anong ginagawa mo? Sumali ka sa'min!"
Pero...
Nalaglag ang mga bunny ears mula sa bota ni Ning Xi. Umupo si Lu Tingxiao para pulutin ito sa sahig at tulungan siyang ikabit...
Kumibot ang bibig ni Mo Lingtian nang makita niya ang lovey-dovey na senaryong ito.
Narinig ni Ning Xi na iniimbitahan nila si Lu Tingxiao kaya tinignan niya ito na parang nasurpresa. "Boss, magaling ka ba sa shooting? Tignan natin kung sino ang mas magaling!"
Sabik niyang hinawakan si Lu Tingxiao.
"Hey, little bunny, marunong ka bang bumaril?" tanong ni Mo Lingtian na parang nagulat.
Lakas loob na sumagot si Ning Xi, "Siyempre! Magaling ako dito!"
Bang! Pumuntirya siya at binaril ang target board.
Ilang minuto ang nakalipas, pinakita sa counter ang score niya: 6.3 points...
Ang...galing...


SYNOPSIS

“Honey, gusto ko talaga ‘yung script sa drama…Kaya lang medyo mas maraming sex scenes ngayon. Pwede ko pa bang tanggapin?”
Kalmadong sumagot si Lu Tingxiao, “Sige lang.”
Nang gabing ‘yun, bumangon si Ning Xi mula sa kama nang nanginginig ang mga binti at nakakapit sa mga rail.
Tinanong siya ulit ni Lu Tingxiao, “Gusto mo pa bang kunin ‘yung project?”


After the book appeared in my hand it unfurled its pages after flipping through all of them it abruptly jumped to the first page of the book. In a bold heading, it said 'Book of Reality written by  Fakt for the one who can wield the rule of reality.' Directly under it read, 'Another three will hold this power, one for each sentient race. Each book will contain a piece of the rule of reality, to gain the entire rule one can follow two paths: One, kill the other 3 holders and obtain all the power for yourself, Two, gain your own insight on the rule of reality and develop your own understanding of it. Both methods will give you power but the second is significantly harder, but in the end, will have more power. It is up to you to decide what method you will choose but choose wisely. If you choose option one say I choose one if two say two, the book will adapt to what you choose.' 

After reading the text I instantly said "two." After, the book glowed with a red light and then change from a leather book into a book covered by metal, as if it was trying at all costs to protect itself. It probably was because some of the other holders would try in the end to take it from me. This thought caused me to get scared because I had no background, no powerhouse behind me. This would cause troubles with good gear and weapons. Wait, I don't even know the ranking system in Reality. 

After this, I asked the Mind practitioner "How is gear ranked in this world?" 
he then responded with  "All gear can be classified into 7 grades, that give different percentage boosts to attributes. the lowers is common with a maximum of a 10% boosts to main stats and 3% to minor. Uncommon is next with a 20% cap of main stats and 5% on minor. Rare with 40% max main stats and 10% to minor stats. Epic with 70% max increase to main stats, 20% to minor, and 3% to special. Legendary with 120% maximum to main stats, 40% to minor, and 5% to special. Holy/Unholy with 180% maximum to main stats, 70% to a minor, and 10% to special. The final is Saint with a 300% maximum increase to main stats, 120% to minor, and 20% to special. I'm going to answer your next question before they come. No, the maximum percentage value is almost never given, most of the time it has a lower percentage of increase. Only top-level gear has the maximum. Minor stats are unlocked by special actions like if you read a lot you will unlock the reading stat. Special stats are unique to each person, they are almost impossible to option. Each new tier because of apparent at different level points; common - rare at levels 0 - 30, rare to legendary at 30 - 100, legendary to saint at levels 100+. These are not definite marks though. All the lower tier gear is found at the next tier, but the only really useful ones are from the ones in the tier. I'm confident that there are other gear grades but these are the ones that I know. The stat increase don't stack, they only affect the baseline stats and then are added together, increases from bloodlines apply to the stat after the gear is factored in. "
After the overflow or information, the only thing I could respond with was "Thanks"

After this, I went back outside of the mage tower and sat down. I gained so much new information, so I checked my character sheet.

After reading my gear I quickly focused on the book and was astounded by what I saw

Give knowledge about the rule of reality one page unlocked | new page at 2^x level where x = number of pages-1.

The increase in my stats looked minor to me, but the description said it would grow with levels, so I decided to go out and gain some levels.

Schedule - 6 per week and more if I want to

  Recently, US President Donald Trump tweeted that China's second quarter growth "is the slowest it has been in more than 27 years" and suggested that China is desperate to make a deal because "thousands of companies are leaving" the country. The comment creates the false impression that China needs a trade deal to save its economy when the truth of the matter is that both sides hope to reach a deal on trade.
  Trump's tweet came after the National Bureau of Statistics released data on China's economic performance for the first six months of the year. Geng Shuang, a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, responded to the comment at a regular press conference on Tuesday, noting that despite slower global economic growth and growing uncertainties and instability, China's GDP still grew 6.3% in the first half the year.
  "I think this is still a good performance, especially compared to other major economies. Better than most," the spokesperson said.
  China could have spurred faster economic growth with massive stimulus policies, but the country is focused on high-quality economic growth and restructuring and is just trying to maintain stable economic growth, which it did. The comment shows that Trump does not understand the realities of the larger situation.
Economic growth in the world's second largest economy is slowing down, but China is in the midst of transitioning to high-quality development and the growth rate of 6.3% is what most analysts had expected. Despite this, China is still powerhouse for global development, which benefits the world economy and the US economy, too.


Sa internal world.
Tumayo ang nakaitim na si Luo Feng sa gitna ng napakaraming nakakalat na gamit. Makikita sa kanyang kamay ang isang kulay silver na card. Kahit na nagawa niyang icheck ang mga gamit ni Pan Xi sa loob ng world ring noon, naging imposible para sa kanyang makita ang kahit anong bakas ng pagiging espesyal ng mga iyon. Pero noong ilagay na niya ito sa loob ng kanyang internal world, siya ang naging hari sa loob nito. Kaya mas naging malakas ang kanyang kakayahang magscan dito, agad siyang nakaramdam ng kakaiba sa silver card na ito…
"Isa itong card na nagtatago ng isang mundo sa loob nito, hindi ko ito nagawang maramdaman noon, isa itong card na may napakagandang pagkakagawa," mahinang sinabi ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng.
Chi!
Isang thread ng kanyang world energy ang sapilitang pumasok sa silver na card. Nakalagay dito ang isang bahagi ng mga alaala ni Pan Xi, pero kung wala ang mismong si Pan Xi para suportahan ito, magiging isa lang itong alaala sa loob ng card. Mabilis itong napasok ang nalagyan ng imprint ni Luo Feng.
Pumasok ang world energy ni Luo Feng sa mundo ng kanyang silver na card.
Isa ito maliit na mundong may areang umaabot lang sa 100km, maliban sa isang patag na lupa at isang ilog sa gitna ng mundong may laking 10km, wala nang kahit ano ang makikita rito. Kasing lamig ng yelo ang tubig habang binabalot ng malamig na hangin ang loob ng mundo.
"Ano ang isang ito?" Simangot ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng.
 Ang buong mundo sa ilalim ng masusing obserbasyon ay nagmukhang normal, maging ang kontinente nito ay napakapangkaraniwan, tanging ang ilog lang sa mundong ito ang nagmukhang espesyal.
Pero hindi talaga malaman laman ni Luo Feng kung ano ba talaga ang ilog na ito.
…
"Babata!"
"Babata!" Kumonekta ang diwa ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng sa sarili niyang space ring at tinawag si Babata.
 Maliban sa kanyang katawang lupa na kinaroroonan ni Babata, ng spaceship mula sa planetang Yun Mo, nakaitim na si Luo Feng, ng kanyang golden horned beast, ang spaceship at ang kanyang spaceship mula sa lahi ng automation ay gumagana sa pamamagitan ng AI na ginawa ni Babata. Ang tauhan niyang AI na ito ay maaari na nating ituring bilang clone ni Babata, maaari niya rin itong kontrolin nang direkta.
Naglalaman ang mga ito ng mga alaala ni Babata, wala lang itong kalidad ng isang buhay na AI pero maaari na rin itong maituring bilang nangunguna sa mga AI ng kalawakan.
Siyempre!
Sa tuwing nasa loob si Luo Feng ng spaceship mula sa planetang Yun Mo, agad na papasok ang main body ni Babatra sa spaceship para kontrolin ito nang direkta.
"Master." Buong galang na sinabi ng AI.
"Halika't iiscan mo ito, nakakita ka na ba ng ganitong klase ng ilog noon?" Sa loob ng isang utos sa kanyang isipan, pumasok ang nakaitim na si Luo Feng sa loob ng mundo.
Malamig!
Kahit na isa itong energy type na nilalang ay nagawa pa rin nitong manginig nang bahagya. Ang 100km na areang ito ay masyado nang malamig nang dahil sa malamig na hanging nagmumula sa ilog.
"Hm?" Biglang naging mas kumportable ang pakiramdam ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng, mukha ngang naglabas ang kanyang life crystal ng kaunting init sa kanyang loob.
"Nakita ko na po ito noon, master." Nasasabik na sigaw ng AI.
"Talaga?" Tanong ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng "Ano naman ito?"
"Ito ang Luo Ke Holy Water." Sabi ng AI "Noong lumahok ang master sa isang auction noon, ang isang cubic km ng Luo Ke holy water ang nagawang iacution. Nakalagay ito noon sa isang maliit na world bracelet, naaalala kong umaabot sa 8.9 million mixed elements ang naging selling price nito sa auction."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng.
Grabe!
8.9 million mixed elements? 1 li km?
"Pan Xi!" Malakas na tumalikod ang nakaitim na si Luo Feng at tumitig nang husto sa ilog, maingat niyang iniscan ang buong area.
Hindi naging bilog ang hugis nito pero ang pikamalaki nitong sukat ay umaabot sa 16.2km, habang ang pinakamaliit ay umaabot sa 10.3km. Mayroon ding lalim na 3.2km ang ilog na ito. At sa pamamagitan ng kakayahang magscan ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng ay agad niya itong nasukat nang accurate. Ang kabuohang dami ng Luo Ke holy water na ito ay umaabot sa …712 cubic km!
Gaano ba ito kalaki?
Gaano ba ito kamahal kung iaauction?
6.337 bilyon!
"6.3 billion mixed elements?" Natigilan dito si Luo Feng, natigilan siya rito nang husto.
Isa ba itong pabuya mula sa langit?
Mukhang isang pulubi ang biglang nakakita ng isang ginintuang bundok?
Isang batang tagadaigdig ang biglang sinabihan ng mismong country leader ng Ganwu universe country na…"Ikaw ang matagal ko nang nawawalang anak kaya ibibigay ko na ang buong universe country na ito sa iyo!"
Ganito ang kanyang naramdaman.
Natigilan siya rito nang husto!
"6.3 billion mixed elements, grabe mayaman na nga talaga ako. Isa itong napakalaking kayamanan sa kalawakan." Sigaw ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng sa kanyang loob.
"Ang Luo Fu Qi board?"
"Spaceaship ng planetang Yun Mo?"
"Void flame gold?"
"Purple 100 net leaf?"
Nanginig dito ang nakaitim na si Luo Feng. Ang pinagsama samang halaga ng mga yamang nakuha niya noon ay umaabot lang sa 10 million mixed elements. Katumbas na ito ng yamang mayroon ang isang official level na undying. Kahit masyado nang mahal ang halaga ng soldier armor na kanyang nakuha noon, hindi pa rin ito magagamit ng iba. Maaaring hindi ito magamit ng mga natitirang bilang ng tao sa kalawakan. Pero naiiba rito ang Luo Ke holy water na kanyang nakuha, isa itong bagay na inaauction maging ng mga tao sa kalawakan.
Ang 1li km nito pa lang ay naibebenta na sa halagang hindi bababa sa 8.9 million mixed elements!
Ang ilog na ito ay nagkakahalaga ng higit sa 6.3 bilyong mixed elements!
"Ang Luo Ke holy water, ipinangalan ito mula sa makasaysayang nilalang mula sa sangkatauhang si Luo Ke na ipinanganak noong sinaunang panahon kasabay ng pagkapanganak ng mismong kalawalan." Paliwanag ng AI "Noong panahong iyon ay hindi niya inaasahang madiskubre ang tubig na ito. Natuklasan niya rin na nagtatanglay ito ng isang kakaibang life energy na maaaring magamit para magpalaki ng mga halaman at pagalingin ang iyong katawan. Sumakatuwid ay maari itong gamitin ng kahit sinong nilalang na may kakayahang umabsorb ng life energy, marami itong naging gamit kaya tumaas din nang husto ang presyo nito sa kalawakan. Ang level ng enerhiyang tinatanglay nito aty masyado nang mataas, mas matindi pa kaysa sa enerhiyang nilalaman ng isang life fruit. At mayroon din itong napakagandang epekto sa mga undying na halamang nilalang kaya maraming undying ang nagnanais bumili nito."
Nagliwanag ang mga mata ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng habang tumatango, para siyang naging isang manok na tumutuka ng bigas.
Kayamanan.
Masyadong malaki ang kanyang nakuha sa pagkakataong ito.
Ang yaman ng isang pangkaraniwang official level na undying ay umaabot lang sa 10 million mixed elements, maging ang isang nilalang na nasa tuktok ng official level ay may yaman lang na hindi lalampas sa 100 million mixed elements.
Gaano nga ba kalaki ang 6.3 billion mixed elements? Mukhang ito na ang kabuohang yaman na mayroon ang isang emperor level na undying! Siyempre para sa isang nilalang na gaya ni True Yan na malapit nang maging isang knight…mas naging mayaman pa ito kaysa sa mga pangkaraniwang emperor level na undying. Para kay True Yan o kay Sky Feather Emperor, hindi manlang sila napapakurap sa oras magtapon sila ng mga kayamanang may halaga na umaabot ng ilang milyong mixed elements.
"Master." Magalang na sinabi ng AI. "Ang mga kayamanan na mayroon ka noon ay mga bagay na ginagamit ng mga official level na undying. Pero ang Luo Ke holy water na ito…ay nasa level na ng isang emperor level na undying."
"Umaabot na sa level ng isang emperor level na undying?" tawa ni Luo Feng.
Isa itong napakagandang pagkukumpara.
.
Sa magkakaibang level ng lakas, masyadong mahahalata ang kanilang pagkakaiba sa isa't isa. An isang malakas na emperor level na undying ay may kakayahang tumapos sa isang grupo ng mga official level na undying nang walang kahirap hirap at ang yamang magagawa nilang makuha ay masyado na ring kagulat gulat. Kaya natural lang na magkaroon sila ng naglalakihang yaman! Pero kahit na ganito, marami pa ring mga emperor level na undying ang magtataya ng kahit anong mayroon sila para lang mabili ang ilog na itong Luo Ke holy water.
"Hahaha…" Malakas na tumawa ang nakaitim na si Luo Feng "Mukhang hindi natin maaaring maliitin maging ang mga pangkaraniwang tao sa kalawakan."
"Kahit na isang slave trader si Pan Xi, nagmukha pa rin siyang pangkaraniwan, at marami sa mga official level ng undying ang hindi siya magagawang tingnan ng dalawang beses. Pero sino nga ba ang magaakala na mayroon siyang ilog ng Luo Ke holy water?" malakas na tawa ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng "Maingat nga talaga siya, dahil hindi nagawang malaman maging ng Virtual Universe Company ang mga ganitong bagay tungkol sa kanya!"
Masyado ngang misteryoso ang napakalaking kalawakan.
Naglalaman ito ng napakaraming nilalang na kung saan marami sa kanila ang nakaengkwentro ng napakaraming himala.
Kung magagawang magkaroon ni Luo Feng ng ganitong klase ng bagay, natural na magagawa rin ito ng ibang tao!
Nakatanggap nga talaga ng isang himala si Pan Xi. Pero maging siya ay walang kaalam alam na ito pala ay isa nang Luo Ke holy water, pero nagawa pa rin niya itong gamitin para palakasin ang kanyang metal vine, nagulat siguro siya noong madiskubre na nakakatulong ito nang husto para mapaevolve nang walang kahirap hirap ang kanyang mga halaman. Nakakaalarma na nang husto ang pageevolve na ginawa nito hanggang sa tumigil ang kanyang mga halaman sa sector lord level 9. At mukhang kaunting bahagi lang ng kanyang Luo Ke holy water ang kanyang nagamit sa mga ito.
Matapos nito ay ginamit naman niya ang holy water para mapalaki ang mas malakas na Sha Luo flower na nagbigay dito ng kakayahang maabot ang sector lord level 9 nang walang kahirap hirap!
Agad niyang naintindihan…
Na ang Luo Ke holy water na ito ay isang kayamanan!
Kinakailangan pa niyang gumastos ng 10,000 na mixed elements para lang maabot ng Sha Luo flower ang sector lord level 9. Pero kaunting Luo Ke holy water lang ang kanyang ginamit para maabot ito nang walang gastos. Kaya gaano kaya kamahal ang buong ilog nito? Natural siyang nakaramdam ng takot habang iniisip ang napakalaking halaga nito, malinaw sa kanyang kapag nalaman ng iba ang tungkol dito, agad na kikilos ang lahat ng malalakas na undying maging ang napakalakas na country leader ng Ganwu universe country para makuha ito sa kanya.
Natakot siya rito nang husto!
Kaya itinago niya ito nang maigi at nanatiling low profile, itinago niya ito para maging isang tunay na alas sa oras na magawa niyang magevolve. Paminsan minsan din siyang umiinom nito habang nagsasanay na nakakapagpabilis sa kanyang pagpapalakas. Kaya nagawa niyang tumungtong sa sector lord level kahit na walang kahit isang guro. Ito ang malahimalang pakinabang ng Luo Ke holy water.
"Marami nga talagang mga maeengkwentrong himala sa kalawakan!"
"At ang mga kayamanan ay nabibilang din sa iba't ibang level. Noong makuha ko ang spaceship ng planetang Yun Mo, ang Luo Fu Qi board, ang Purple 100 net leaf at iba pa, silang lahat ay mga kayamanang katumbas ng isang official level na undying. At ngayon…ang ilog na ito ay isang tunay na nangungunang kayamanan na nasa level na ng isang emperor level na undying." Nagliwanag ang mga mata ng nakaitim na si Luo Feng "6.3 billion mixed elements, bilyon!"
Hindi niya naiwasang masabik nang husto habang iniisip ang tungkol dito.
…
Sa loob ng spaceship mula sa planetang Yun Mo.
Umupo si Luo Feng sa loob ng kanyang resting quarters, hindi niya naiwasang mapangiti sa sobrang sabik.
"Napakayaman ko na nga talaga."
"Ang aking pagsasanay ang naging dahilan ng pagiging suwerte ko noon. Gaya ng pagkuha sa estatwa ng diyos na halimaw at iba pa, ito ang mga kayamanang pinaghirapan kong makuha. Habang ito, ay isang tunay na suwerte…na para bang hulog ng langit sa akin. Grabe, hindi ko inaasahang magkakaroon ako ng ganitong klase ng araw. Haha…" Natuwa nang husto ang walang problemang si Luo Feng.
Gaano nawala ang kanyang mga problema?
"Sa pamamagitan ng ilog na ito ng Luo Ke holy water, siguradong mas lalalim pa ang aking bulsa. Masyado nang malaki ang aking nagastos nang hindi kumikita ng kahit ano. Kaya hindi magtatagal ay mawawalan na ng laman ang aking bulsa." Ngiti ni Luo Feng "Pero ngayon, sa pamamagian ng ilog na ito…"
"Hm."
"Cloud contact vine." Sa loob ng isang utos mula sa kanyang isipan, agad niyang inilagay ang cloud contact vine sa loob ng world ring.
Matapos nito ay itinago niya ang baging sa loob ng kanyang internal world.
At pagkatapos ay inilagay naman niya ito sa maliit na mundong kinaroroonan ng ilog ng Luo Ke holy water.
Ang mundo sa loob ng isa pang mundo…
"Sa pamamagitan ng ilog na ito, magiging madali na lang para sa aking cloud contact vine ang makaabot sa sector lord level 9." Isip ni Luo Feng "Hm, pero hindi pa rin magiging ganoon kadali ang pagtawid nito sa undyig level. Pero sa pamamagitan ng holy water na ito, magagawa nitong pataasin pa ang tiyansang makatawid ng aking cloud contact vine."
Natuwa rito nang husto si Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, Luo Feng." Sigaw ni Babata "Mayroon kang natangaap na sulat."
"Isang sulat?" Natigilan dito si Luo Feng.
Ah.
Mukhang ito na ang resulta ng kanyang nakumpletong unang level sa misyong may pinakamataas na points.


Taong 2056, sa loob ng isang siyudad na makikita sa Su Jin Area makikita ang isang teenager na nakasuot ng combat vest, pangsundalong pangibaba at battle boots na gawa sa alloy na nakaupo sa tuktok ng isang sira sirang six story residential apartment. Makikita sa kaniyang likuran ang isang hexagonal shield at ang kaniyang hawak hawak na blood-shadow battle knife. Tahimik siyang nakaupo sa dulo ng rooftop. Makikita sa mga oras na ito ang kumikinang na kalangitan at mararamdaman ang napakapreskong hangin na kasalukuyang umiihip patungo sa kaniya. Pero tanging katahimikan lamang ang maririnig sa sira sira at abandonadong siyudad na ito at kung minsan ay mayroong paisa isang pagalulong ang maririnig na magbibigay takot sa sinumang makarinig nito.

"Is this a pattern of unleashing super skills?"
Feng Luo's facial expression changed. He immediately dismissed this guess because the Beetle Boss's condition seemed to indicate another scenario.
"No, this is… self-destruction!"
Some Bosses used the self-destruction skill as a counter-attack when dying in War. Self-destruction didn't just cause great damage to surrounding enemies. More importantly, if players could not stop it in time, the Boss's most valuable energy crystal core or mechanical core would be destroyed when the Boss died.
This was undoubtedly a sneaky plan by the gaming company! The only way to stop the Boss from self-destructing was to attack its vital point and cause lethal damage, due to the fact that most active skills in War could be halted by a vital-point attack. This was also why lethal damage had a higher value than normal damage in War.
However, no one could stop this Boss's skill because, during the boss's self-destruction, an energy shield slightly darker than the previous one appeared over its body, blocking the attacks made by all the players.
Boom!
Less than ten seconds later, the Beetle Boss's originally black shell turned red, and there seemed to be flames burning within it. When it turned extremely red, a loud boom quaked sky above the entire Town of Exiles.
The power of self-destruction from the Level-45 Boss was indescribable. A spherical yellow energy storm started to spread rapidly, as overwhelming as a sandstorm. Debris weighing thousands of kilograms was swept up by the shock wave, creating craters and holes on the ground and the surrounding buildings. People could feel the earth rumbling from the strong impact!
Although he was in a prone position on the ground, at the top of a building almost 100 meters away, and even though the building blocked most of the impact, Feng Luo's HP still dropped more than 1,000 points from this self-destruction. If he hadn't used a blood tonic to recover his HP above a safe level after being damaged by the energy blast earlier, perhaps he would have sustained a heavy injury or even ended up with a Game Over.
"Level-45 Boss killed," said a voice over Feng Luo's player terminal. "6.3 percent kill contribution. 3,015 experience points awarded. 1,890 Town of Exiles 1022 Medal Points awarded!"
Listening to system's audio, Feng Luo leaned on the top floor of the heavily damaged building while holding the M110. Fear lingered in his heart.
"Phew, I've finally downed this Boss!"
Then his face turned sour. In the square below, following the Boss's self-destruction, many energy crystals, shining pieces of equipment, and rare consumable supplies which were not available in most markets were being blown around by the residual energy from the self-destruction storm.
Bosses would drop equipment after self-destruction. Even though there would not be energy crystal cores, the equipment that did drop would not be of common value. Not only would there be rare pieces of equipment, but there would also be special materials that were not dropped by most common monsters.
The problem was, Feng Luo was standing on the tenth floor of the building, and it was impossible for him to grab those things.
Scratch!
Feng Luo felt so dejected that he wanted to shoot himself with his M110. Especially given the fact that his kill contribution was as high as 6.3 percent. 6.3 percent! Subtracting the NPCs' contributions from the total, he was most likely at the top among the players. However, the player with the highest contribution could only stare at the items dropped by the Boss. Many players who were too scared to advance into battle and hadn't made any contribution stormed out greedily to loot the items dropped by the Boss.
Feng Luo was truly bitter. "F*ck," he said. "Why didn't I think of this before?"
Clink!
Even as Feng Luo was feeling despondent, a clear clink was heard from the rooftop beside him. It sounded as if something had fallen onto the ground and flipped twice. Feng Luo turned his head and realized that it was a silver, half-transparent chip the size of two fingernails.
"This seems to be an item dropped by the Boss," he said.
Feng Luo's face went blank. Could it be that one of the drops by the Boss fell to his side because it was blown to this building by the power of the self-destruction?
"Um, no," he concluded. "It doesn't seem likely."
He gazed through the M110's scope and realized that, based on the trajectory of the items scattered after the explosion, other players who had attacked while he was attacking the Boss were also receiving drops.
"If so, I suppose the system intended to divide the drops following the Boss's self-destruction!" Feng Luo guessed.
Even though the Boss had not spawned for very long, it had caused a flurry of activity on the square and caught the attention of all the players from the Town of Exiles. When the Boss had been nearly dead, many players had called their acquaintances over through the communicating system with the intent to loot the Boss's drops. After all, dropped items were not bound to anyone during this kind of huge mission. Anyone could loot those items. Therefore, if items dropped by the Bosses were picked up by lazy Light Armor Warriors or even taken by new players who arrived only for the drops, it would be too unfair for those players who had actively participated in the battle.
Feng Luo suspected that the Boss's self-destruction had been preset by the system, as most of the credit for damaging the Boss belonged to the Guards. If not for the huge damage dealt by the Guards' electromagnetic cannon, which had destroyed the Boss's morphed safety shield, it would have been impossible for these red-name players with their varied motives to kill this Boss. That was why it was impossible for the system to drop the expensive energy crystal core. Instead, they chose to let this Boss self-destruct instead and distribute the drops according to contribution points earned in killing the Boss.
"I think that must be it!" said Feng Luo.
Holding the silver chip—which was slightly hot—in his hand, Feng Luo discovered a few question marks in its attribute column. This situation only happened in cases of unidentified equipment. This had clearly been dropped by the Boss!
There were no Appraisers in the Town of Exiles, so he would have to wait until he returned to Silvermoon City to learn what this thing was.
He placed the chip in his anti-gravity spacial backpack and focused his attention back on the square. Battles had erupted down there. No new monsters were spawned; it was the players PKing each other instead.
Thump!
In a corner of the square, fire meteorites were falling from the sky and hitting the ground, producing flames. Clearly, some Fire Manipulator players were attacking using the "Meteor Rain" skill in an attempt to loot the drops from the Boss. Not just that, but there were also machine gun noises, Warriors' shouts as they used their class skills, and curses voiced by some players. It was obvious that combat hadn't erupted solely in one area.
People would die for money, not to mention Boss drops with uncommon value. The pieces of equipment that had been dropped around the square, especially five or six of them that were shining, had drawn too much attention. After all, drops by Bosses of this level had a 100 percent chance of being Rare-grade equipment, and each would cost at least thousands of credits.
Even though the system had warned players not to fight against each other earlier, some of them obviously couldn't help it when they saw the equipment dropped by the Boss. However, the fighting did not last long. Several new military vehicles drove over from the side of the square. Subsequently, six electromagnetic machine guns on the vehicles started to operate, dishing out fatal barrages and reducing the troublemaking players to Swiss cheese, transforming them into flashes of white light.
"The rebels are attacking from the outside, yet you are all killing each other in here!" a sergeant-ranked Guard officer shouted angrily. "Do not think that you can ignore the military's orders just because you are temporarily recruited. You are all Federal soldiers as soon as you step into the battlefield. This is the consequence for those who dare to defy the orders and fight among each other!"
Behind him, on the military vehicles, Guard soldiers stood emotionless one after another, holding their guns.
The few players who had initiated PK to loot items ended up with horrible fates. After they were shot to death, all their equipment, crystals, materials, and supplies were scattered to the floor and destroyed. Perhaps when they resurrected, all they would have left was their underwear.
Feng Luo placed his M110 on the rooftop. He actually enjoyed the scene. If the drops truly were distributed according to contribution points, he assumed that the item he got was the best. The chip with unknown attributes in his backpack must have been even more valuable than the other Rare-grade equipment.
He'd been worried that if the system didn't stop the fighting in time, someone with bad intentions would notice that he'd gotten the best item and cause him trouble.
Beep. Beep…
Feng Luo's communicator beeped, and a male voice came from the battle command channel.
"Hey, is this Feng Zhi Luoye? The Commander has demanded your presence at Battle Command Department at Number 35, New South Street. You have a new mission!"


As an international mercenary, Feng Luo entered a technologically advanced parallel world during a mission.

After living several years in the new world, an online sci-fi game called War became popular across the entire Star Federation.

Desert Eagles, Barrett, AK-47, Apache, RPG... One after another, familiar gears awakened his memories of the past!

Terminator, Zerg, Resident Evil, the Force,... The missions that appeared after a system update made him even more suspicious and shocked! As such, Feng Luo entered War and became a sniper.
