259: A small boost

Maple Leaf immediately purchased the Basic Cultivation Method Version 1.

Returning to her own world, just as she was about to start cultivating, the Martial God found her.

“Maple Leaf, about what happened earlier…” Before the Martial God could finish, Maple Leaf interrupted her.

“Martial God! It’s not your fault! This is my mistake!” Maple Leaf was the first to bow slightly to the Martial God and apologize.

“Mm…” The Martial God nodded slightly, seeing how well Maple Leaf handled the situation, the Martial God couldn’t help but admire her even more: “I still stand by what I said, you are my successor. And it won’t be long until you should be able to inherit my divine position. I gained quite a bit of insight from this battle, and with your talent, it won’t be long until you should be qualified to inherit this Martial God divine position.”

“Thank you for your generosity, Martial God! I will work hard!” This time, Maple Leaf accepted with a smile, looking at the Martial God calmly: “As for the future, we’ll see when the time comes.”

“Hahaha! Good!” Hearing Maple Leaf’s words, the Martial God looked deeply at Maple Leaf, then laughed heartily with satisfaction: “I finally have a successor!”

After laughing for a while, the Martial God then said to Maple Leaf: “This organization you joined… it’s called Cross-World Group… from the sound of it…”

“Yes! It’s just as you think, it’s an organization from the Celestial Realms…” Maple Leaf nodded and said.

“Then do I or people from our world have a chance to join? What are the requirements for joining?” The Martial God couldn’t help but ask, and at the same time, this was also a question for the other “eavesdropping” gods.

Although Clarissa’s matter also involved an otherworldly visitor, this otherworldly visitor was somewhat “special.”

Especially the “Cross-border Organization,” which attracted the “attention” of countless gods.

“Hmm~ I don’t know either. When I joined, I suddenly received an invitation and then directly joined. There was no option to refuse…” Maple Leaf shook her head slightly, saying that she didn’t know what was special about herself.

In short, she was chosen and then joined.

“Is that so…” The Martial God frowned, and the “eavesdropping” gods also felt a bit regretful.

“Yes, if there are any conditions for joining, or if invitations can be extended, I will inform you immediately, Martial God.” Maple Leaf said to the Martial God.

“Mm! Thank you!” The Martial God nodded and thanked Maple Leaf. This was, after all, an “opportunity,” perhaps an opportunity to ascend to a higher peak.

“You’re welcome! After all, we’re all from the same world! I also want our world to become better!” Maple Leaf said with a smile. Through the Cross-World Group and everyone in it, she suddenly gained a lot of insights and understanding. The world is so vast…

Celestial Realms… transformed from one realm to myriad realms.

It’s like, within a country, people might “compete” over various regions and cities. Then, on a global scale, people “compete” over various countries.

But if you zoom out further, to the universe, there might be many planets or civilizations, and people “compete” over planets or civilizations.

So Maple Leaf is also like this now. Originally, she thought about protecting her own world and fighting against those Otherworldly Demon Gods.

Now, it’s different. She wants her own world to be better, to break through higher limits! To reach greater heights!

After Maple Leaf bid farewell, she returned to her home and tried to begin cultivating Qi.

…………

A few days passed peacefully like this.

Yi Xin also put the Basic Cultivation Method Version 2 on sale in the shop on time, priced at 3 million source points.

Lin Ze, Ran Quan, and Miya-pasu all purchased it directly.

As for the others, they had better options and didn’t need to purchase it.

Miya-pasu’s source points, which had finally risen to over 4 million during these days, were mostly gone again.

Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng each gained over 400 source points.

And during these days, Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng’s cultivation methods also had breakthroughs, upgrading to higher levels:

Yi Xin: Xuheng Breathing Body Refinement Technique - Enhanced: Qi Blood Circulation Method - Version 3.

With Yi Xin’s assistance, Lin Zifeng successfully upgraded the Spirit Crane Heart Sutra Skill to the Immortal Crane Heart Sutra Skill, and the Spirit Crane Fist also upgraded to the Immortal Crane Fist. Since he upgraded them himself, he had a deep understanding of them, and his proficiency level also improved from superb to peak mastery.

Moreover, Lin Zifeng also broke through to Heavenly Bridge - Mid Stage.

All Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art also reached the level of 18%.

And with Lin Zifeng’s improvement, he specifically returned to Xian He Men once, leaving behind rubbings of the Immortal Crane Heart Sutra Skill and Immortal Crane Fist for his master.

The cultivation system of Xian He Men was considered officially formed, with the rest being the “completion” and filling in of more other cultivation methods. Lin Zifeng also wanted to strive towards higher levels of cultivation methods.

He wanted to ensure that the foundation of Xian He Men and its disciples reached the highest level.

The growth of Xian He Men also brought a continuous stream of source points to Lin Zifeng. Coupled with his source point income from “adventuring outside,” his current source points had already reached over 70 million.

Not only that, Yi Xin’s combat power level in the Cross-World Group also increased to level 4!

Filling the gap in the Cross-World Group’s combat power!

Currently, the highest is Clarissa at level 5, then Yi Xin at level 4, Lin Zifeng, Bai Mo, Lin Ze at level 3, Ran Quan, Miya-pasu, and the new member Maple Leaf at level 2. There are no more level 1 members, but there is one level 0 member, Zhu Wenyan.

Clarissa also found Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng to help “upgrade” her cultivation method. Currently, it is the Knight Breathing Technique - Astral Lament (No Attribute) Version 3.

She asked Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng to help upgrade it to Version 4.

Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng both agreed, saying they would upgrade it for Clarissa for free.

However, Clarissa refused, saying that the price should be what it is, and when the upgrade was complete, the Cross-World Group would provide a price, and she would pay the source points as usual.

Under Clarissa’s repeated insistence, and a phrase: “I am the Administrator, so I should abide by the rules of the Cross-World Group even more,” Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng decided to accept the source points.

They genuinely didn’t want to accept these source points. One reason was Clarissa’s status as Administrator, another was her position as the “big sister” figure, plus her role as the “stabilizing force,” “combat power ceiling,” and “everyone’s backing” in the group. All these made Clarissa worth “investing” in for Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng.

At least, they would have the face to ask Clarissa for help in the future, wouldn’t they?

The world isn’t just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

You help me, I help you, that’s how relationships are built.

…………

In a special space.

Tang Ziheng watched his source points surge by several hundred million again. He checked and realized, oh, it was the “final payment” that had arrived.

“Thanks” from Saida World, where Ran Quan was located.

After all, the Cross-World Group had “saved” Saida World before.

Those rewards were set by Tang Ziheng, who had “paid out of his own pocket” in advance.

And as a “capitalist,” how could he lose money! So the rewards from the world were naturally all his!

From this perspective, the Cross-World Group truly fits the identity of a worker!

Tang Ziheng is the boss, saving the world is the “project,” paying wages to the people of the Cross-World Group, earning this hard-earned money, and then the subsequent big profits all go to the boss.

Nothing wrong with that, right? Nothing wrong!

Tang Ziheng looked at the source points, which had again increased to over 3.1 billion, still some distance from the next system upgrade.

The “mechanical core” generates nearly a million source points daily, and the worlds of various workers also bring in large amounts of source points.

Especially Clarissa’s world, which basically brings in tens of millions of source points every day, and exceeding 100 million is also common.

At this rate, in less than a month, Clarissa is estimated to have 5 billion source points, then upgrade, and at that time, another 5 billion source points will be credited, plus the increase, it will be at least 10 billion source points.

The system can then be upgraded by one or two levels.

However, currently, these are all “minor version” upgrades. Tang Ziheng is still quite looking forward to upgrading to the v4.0 major version.

He wonders what kind of changes the system will undergo then.
