173: Newcomer Ran Quan

Ran Quan's words to Lin Diao were half-truths; he did indeed need a few days to rest and recover, and also to formulate a revenge plan. Oh, and he could ask Lin Diao for information about his enemies then...

Ran Quan joined Frontier Technology, naturally not just for a backer. This kind of thing is mutually beneficial.

However, he needed to demonstrate talent worthy of Frontier Technology's investment.

Ran Quan thought about it; the easiest way, of course, was to purchase some technological knowledge through the system... and hand it over. This would naturally bring huge rewards and status.

Of course, he needed to manage the extent of this, so Ran Quan needed to thoroughly understand the level of Frontier Technology's technological advancement.

Without technological knowledge, some “technological rejects” should also be able to bring him considerable benefits...

What Ran Quan needed was “emphasis” and privileges.

Perhaps, to curry favor with him, Frontier Technology might even directly eliminate his enemies and present it as a gift.

Don't let those guys in the Eleventh District seem influential and capable; in reality, they are only so within the Eleventh District.

If they truly encountered something on the level of Frontier Technology, they would be mere ants, the kind that could be eradicated at will.

Moreover, at this point, although Ran Quan hated those people for making him lose his only relative, having lived in this kind of place for so long, he had grown accustomed to it.

For him, revenge was already within reach, so he should consider what he would do... what he could do... after he had taken his revenge.

Ran Quan pondered for a moment, and it seemed... after his revenge, he would have no more life goals.

He genuinely didn't care about power or status, nor did he want to climb to any high position, being second only to one person and above everyone else.

He had the system; as long as he had strength, people would naturally curry favor with him, and status would come on its own.

And his own strength was the kind that came from a great power bestowed upon him.

To put it bluntly, even now, as long as he didn't seek death and was cautious, he could definitely live a very comfortable life, and power and status would also be his.

However, precisely because of this, Ran Quan felt a sense of confusion.

"Beep beep beep! The Cross-World Group invites you to join! Do you want to join?"

Suddenly, a message came from the system.

"Hmm?! Cross-World Group?!" Ran Quan was stunned, and then information about this group poured into his mind.

Ran Quan immediately understood what this Cross-World Group was.

"Such an existence!" Ran Quan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Join!"

...

"Oh? A new person has arrived?" Clarissa, as the Administrator, was naturally the first to receive the news of someone joining.

Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and Bai Mo also happened to be free at the moment. Those who were busy quickly finished their tasks or put them aside to enter the Cross-World Group to welcome the newcomer!

Ran Quan entered the Cross-World Group, feeling a bit anxious, wondering what kind of worlds existed in this Cross-World Group? And they were all "system owners" from other worlds.

As Ran Quan entered the Cross-World Group, he simultaneously "understood" its existing functions.

"Welcome, new member!" Clarissa smiled and said when she saw Ran Quan appear.

"You... Hello!" When Ran Quan saw Clarissa, his eyes blurred for a moment. So... so beautiful!

At the same time, he also saw Clarissa's "information."

[Administrator] Clarissa - Combat Level: 5 - World Level: 1

"Welcome! Welcome!" Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and Bai Mo all spoke up to welcome the new member.

Ran Quan looked at each of them.

This Cross-World Group seemed to have few members; including him, there were barely five people.

To be honest, it was a bit few, but Ran Quan didn't mind. Fewer was better! It meant he belonged to the "founding member" level, among the first batch.

For such an existence, the earlier one joined, the better! On this point, Ran Quan was not foolish.

"Hello, everyone! My name is Ran Quan! It's our first meeting, and I'll be relying on your care from now on!" Ran Quan humbled himself.

"Hahaha! Don't be so reserved. Since you can enter this group, then we are all like family! There's no backstabbing or unpleasantness here! Don't worry!" Yi Xin said to Ran Quan with a smile.

"Indeed!" Clarissa nodded. This group was still very "clean," and she was keeping things in order, with God above her. Most importantly, everyone had no conflicts of interest or disagreements; they helped each other, developed together, and communicated with each other. This was very good.

Ran Quan couldn't help but smile; he could feel everyone's sincerity, and what they said was truly heartfelt.

"Eh? Ran Quan, your world is also a Level 1 world... Hmm~ your combat level is actually 0! Good heavens! This is the first time I've seen a combat level of 0!" Bai Mo exclaimed in surprise when he saw something.

Only then did everyone notice Ran Quan's information:

Ran Quan - Combat Level: 0 - World Level: 1

"Uh..." Ran Quan scratched his head. Some of the information the Cross-World Group gave him let him know the divisions of combat levels and world levels... He hadn't expected his combat level to be 0. To put it bluntly, he wasn't even considered "ranked."

It was truly a bit trashy...

He looked at the others; the weakest was Lin Zifeng, with a combat level of 1.

But he knew that even though it was only a difference of 1 level between 0 and 1, which seemed insignificant, he felt that Lin Zifeng could probably beat 100 of him without even breaking a sweat.

Yes, Ran Quan's feeling was very accurate.

Lin Zifeng truly could beat 100 Ran Quans without breaking a sweat.

"This should be the situation of Ran Quan's world..." Clarissa said at this moment. As the Administrator, she could see more profound information.

Seeing everyone's inquiring gazes, Clarissa didn't say it directly but asked Ran Quan: "Do you mind if I talk about the information of your world?"

"I don't mind! Administrator, please go ahead!" Ran Quan quickly waved his hand, saying, This was the Administrator of the Cross-World Group! And a Level 5 combat expert.

At the same time, Ran Quan was also a bit curious: the worlds of the other members were all higher level than the Administrator's world, but their combat levels were so much lower than the Administrator's, and he was also from a Level 1 world, but his combat level wasn't even Level 1...

Hearing Ran Quan's words, Clarissa then told everyone about the information of Ran Quan's world.

"So that's it! No wonder!" Yi Xin smiled knowingly and said, "I was wondering! Ran Quan, these things in your body are what you call... technology, right?"

"Uh..." Ran Quan was stunned when he heard Yi Xin's words, then realized Yi Xin was talking about his implants and such.

So Ran Quan told everyone about the implants.

"There are such things! That's quite interesting." Everyone didn't have any negative thoughts about this. After all, every world was different, whether it was the system, civilization, or anything else.

They all showed the utmost respect.

Moreover, they all believed that all roads lead to the same destination; they just took different paths, but the goal was the same: power!

Whether it was individual power, collective power, or other aspects.

Ultimately, it all came down to one word: strength.
