470: Krypton Gold Makes People Stronger

Lingmiao Sky Curtain World.

Lin Zifeng also secretly sent an invitation to Valley Master Liu Yanwan, the Valley Master of Luli Valley.

However, it was "rejected" by the Cross-World Group, clearly indicating she didn't meet the standards.

These past few days, besides inviting during Foreign Teacher tasks, Lin Zifeng only invited Valley Master Liu Yanwan in this world.

But all attempts failed.

Seriously, are the Cross-World Group's thresholds that high?

This situation became clear to everyone after they tried, seeing that no new members had joined the Cross-World Group.

Everyone couldn't help but discuss this function in the group.

Bai Mo: "I suspect this function is actually just to 'comfort' us; it's practically useless!"

Lin Zifeng: "Not necessarily... there should be some hidden standards... but those Foreign Teacher missions, most of them involve the Worlds Chosen, people selected by their worlds, so why don't they meet the standards?"

Clarissa: "Being the Worlds Chosen doesn't mean much; it just means the world is on his side at that moment. Haven't there been plenty of dead Worlds Chosen?"

Yi Xin: "Big Sister Head makes so much sense... But if you think about it that way, this standard should have little to do with the so-called Worlds Chosen, right?"

Clarissa: "Not necessarily; it's just that the Worlds Chosen should have a higher probability. We just haven't encountered one yet, as it's still early days."

Yi Xin: "Hmm, everyone just needs to try more. But let's just go with the flow; don't specifically search for group members just to find them. When the time is right, they'll probably come naturally. Besides, the Cross-World Group itself also searches. If it takes so long to add a new person, it means the standard is definitely very high, or there are some hidden conditions involved."

Clarissa: "That's about right! After all, there are far more than billions of Celestial Realms, and searching for qualified individuals across vast worlds is a lengthy process."

Several days had passed since the major update.

During these past few days, everyone had tried out the Group Invitation function quite a bit. Foreign Teacher missions definitely wouldn't open up frequently, but they would try to choose short-duration ones to maximize exposure to more Worlds Chosen.

However, after several days, not a single one met the criteria.

Everyone's enthusiasm waned. After calming down, they realized that such matters must be left to chance; when the time is right, it will happen naturally.

Didn't the Cross-World Group itself take so long to find someone?

Clarissa: "Once a group invitation is successful, there will be very generous rewards."

Upon hearing Clarissa's words, everyone was puzzled.

Yi Xin: "Big Sister Head, why do you say that?"

Clarissa: "Administrator."

Yi Xin: "Understood."

The conversation was concise and clear, and everyone suddenly understood.

Seeing that everyone understood, those who didn't understand privately messaged others to ask what was going on and what it meant.

It was actually very simple: the "GM" identity was internally hinted at, and then Clarissa announced it to everyone.

There had been similar situations before.

The "old-timers" knew, but the newcomers didn't, and they were utterly confused by such "riddles."

Fortunately, it wasn't a secret. Since it was asked, Yi Xin also proactively explained the situation in the group, informing everyone.

And since Clarissa said there would be generous rewards once a group invitation was successful, everyone's previously quieted hearts stirred again.

However, they quickly calmed down, as this matter could not be rushed or forced.

They could only see who would be so lucky.

...

Odyssey World.

Maple Leaf walked out of her room.

It was 2 PM, and Maple Leaf felt the warm sunlight on her body.

She had a feeling of being "alive again."

She had been in seclusion, cultivating, and she didn't know how long she had stayed in the Cross-World Group's Enlightenment Room. Fortunately, although the Enlightenment Room was expensive, it also had a time acceleration function.

Maple Leaf glanced at her source points; she only had a little over 1,000,000,000 source points left.

Her source points were dwindling, and she was spending more than she earned.

It wasn't that she didn't earn source points, but rather that she consumed them too quickly.

Basically, all her source points were used for cultivation; she didn't consider buying other things or hoarding any source points.

Of course, she would still keep some, but not deliberately so.

Another round of "pay-to-win" cultivation brought progress, and Maple Leaf had already eaten all the meat buns she bought from Tang Mo, and she had consumed at least three thousand drops of Life Nectar.

She was definitely a "whale."

Of course, paying makes people happy, and paying makes people stronger.

However, the improvements brought by paying were still enormous.

After so much "gold" was spent, Maple Leaf's three dimensions and Martial Will all received significant boosts.

Physique: 4466 → 4571

Energy: 4289 → 4402

Spirit: 1025 → 1068

Martial Will also increased from 34.7% → 39.1%

The improvement was quite significant.

Maple Leaf felt that she should be close to Level 4 combat power.

People in the group were already analyzing the possible range of data between combat powers, as the data standards were now unified.

And everyone basically had combat power at various levels, with some having just entered and others having been there for a while.

Based on everyone's mutual analysis, Maple Leaf looked at the guesses for Level 4 combat power, which seemed to be achieved when one panel exceeded 5000 points.

It should only require one panel, but even if multiple panels exceeded 5000, it would still be Level 4 combat power.

Then, that should be the reason for the difference in strength within the same combat power level, besides the panel, there are also systems, strength of power, talent, skills, and so on.

These don't seem to be fully accounted for in combat power.

Just like Maple Leaf, her Martial Will should not be included in the combat power system.

This also led to enormous gaps between combat power levels, and even within the same level.

Of course, everyone could accept it, as it had always been this way, and this itself was just a "reference." Data was useful, but one couldn't rely entirely on it; otherwise, it would just be a comparison of who was bigger or smaller, and the smaller one would just commit suicide to save trouble.

Maple Leaf walked out of her "home" and onto the streets of Odyssey City.

Feeling the warm afternoon sun on her, she stretched lazily.

"Phew~ I feel like I'm alive again!" Maple Leaf stretched her limbs, feeling the "beauty of life."

Seclusion had almost made her silly. Although she was a martial arts fanatic, she couldn't practice for years on end like that. And this cultivation wasn't the kind of immortal cultivation where you close your eyes, circulate your qi, and sixty years pass in a blink.

Instead, it was real: daily physical training, practicing punches, circulating qi, comprehending fist intent, eating, and various auxiliary cultivation resources.

Day after day, it was also a huge torment for people.

Of course, after so many "seclusions," her state of mind had been tempered quite a bit.

Maple Leaf felt that she was much more composed than before.
