620: A few months passed quickly

Chapter 620: Months Flew By

After this busy period, everyone's shops have largely entered a stable phase.

This means they can now shift their focus away from them.

Overall, it only took everyone a day or two.

Moreover, everyone also discovered that shops can 'hire' people, not necessarily members of the Cross-World Group, but people from their own world, though employees cannot exceed three.

So, this made things simpler...

Maple Leaf decisively went to find a few gods who were bored to tears to work here.

Ye Zian also pulled Sister Gu Yu in as an employee, so he wouldn't have to constantly shuttle back and forth between the two sides to convey messages.

Days passed one by one.

In the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.

The 'legend' of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds Plaza continued to ferment.

There were more and more lucky individuals, and the Plaza's foot traffic also increased.

The profits of the Cross-World Group members were also continuously rising, already accounting for about 10-20% of their daily source points income. This proportion was already quite good.

Furthermore, the lower one's strength, the higher this proportion.

For example, for Ye Zian, the income from his All Heavens and Myriad Worlds Plaza shop could account for 50-60% of his total.

During this period, Lin Ze's combat level successfully advanced from level 5 to level 6.

Ran Quan also rose from level 3 to level 4.

Miya-pasu also advanced from level 4 to level 5.

Maple Leaf, Jun Li, and Ally all went from level 4 to level 5.

Ye Zian invested all the source points he earned into himself. He also purchased Yi Xin's Basic Cultivation Method from her shop, spending 1 million source points. He finally had a cultivation method!

Over these past few months, his own strength had improved significantly, increasing several times compared to before.

Of course, his combat power in the Cross-World Group was still level 1, and he was even far from level 2. In terms of numerical value, he had only reached one-third of the value required to achieve level 2.

"So boring!" Ye Zian lay on the sofa in the office, with Lily at the desk.

There were no commissions today, but Thrace was nowhere to be seen, having gone off to have fun somewhere.

Ye Zian was no longer training in the basement.

Now, he just needed to practice his cultivation method daily, unlike before when he had to practice gun skills and physical training.

Sister Gu Yu, however, remained the same, staying in her workshop every day. After also helping to manage the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds Plaza, Sister Gu Yu could also enter it. Besides taking orders, she constantly made various firearms to increase inventory.

At the same time, she also researched new firearms and continuously collected the materials she needed and some unique materials for research.

Her days became increasingly fulfilling, and Sister Gu Yu was often nowhere to be seen. A logistics person was busier than the entire team combined.

There were quite a few commissions in the first two months, and Ye Zian was constantly on the go.

However, this month, it was uncharacteristically quiet. Not only were there no many commissions, but Ye Zian had been idle for half a month without a single one.

Fortunately, there was still the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds Plaza providing source points income.

Otherwise, Ye Zian wouldn't know where to get source points.

"If you're bored, go out and wander around," Lily said to Ye Zian from where she sat.

Having spent a long time together, Ye Zian had also become somewhat 'presumptuous'.

"What's there to do outside! There's nothing appealing out there," Ye Zian said, lying bored on the sofa, his feet propped on the armrest, swinging back and forth.

"Then it seems you're quite well-behaved," Lily said casually, reading her book.

...Lily's words, for some reason, made Ye Zian feel as if he had been offended.

Ye Zian rolled his eyes, continued to lie there bored, and soon fell asleep.

..........

Clarissa was in Ono World.

Several months had passed, and she still hadn't waited for Death and Disaster Wings.

This made her feel as if the other party had given up paying attention to her.

However, the faint, lingering gaze in the dark constantly reminded her that the other party was not uninterested in her.

She didn't know why, but they hadn't come looking for her.

Instead, it had caused Clarissa to stay in Ono World for these past few months, not knowing how many she had killed.

There were definitely millions.

The source points she held had originally dried up to over 40 billion.

However, she upgraded several talents:

Spent 10 billion: [Talent Enhancement XI] → [Talent Enhancement XII] (Upgrade requires 30 billion source points)

Spent 6 billion: [Sword Mastery X] → [Sword Mastery XI] (Upgrade requires 10 billion source points)

Spent another 10 billion: [Sword Mastery XI] → [Sword Mastery XII] (Upgrade requires 30 billion source points)

She was suddenly left with only about 10 billion source points.

Besides upgrading her talents, Clarissa had another huge gain: her Star Sword Intent had finally reached 100%!

Perfected Star Sword Intent!

Clarissa had reached the end of this path; to achieve a breakthrough, she would have to break through the boundary!

However, so far, Clarissa had not yet thought about how to proceed.

Fortunately, the newly upgraded Talent Enhancement and Sword Mastery brought her even more terrifying talents.

She had a faint sense of enlightenment.

She just needed to attain the Dao one day, to push aside the clouds and see the sun.

All she lacked was an opportunity.

Currently, the members of the group, especially those above level 5, were making steady progress, but their increase in strength was relatively slow.

The higher one went, the more indispensable talent, comprehension, and opportunities became. Moreover, in many cases, besides continuous refinement and accumulation, it relied on the grinding of time.

For people like Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and Lin Ze, it was still a bit better; they hadn't yet reached the point where 'talent' was extremely crucial.

But at Clarissa's level, it became especially important.

Even though her three primary stats were still continuously rising, they didn't provide a significant overall boost to her strength.

The three primary stats were, after all, just 'base values'; they were useful, but the further one progressed, the less obvious their utility became.

The competition naturally became about divine abilities, spells, and underlying capabilities.

Unless it was an overwhelming level of the three primary stats, which is commonly referred to as pure numerical suppression.

Fortunately, Clarissa's foundation was still continuously rising, especially the degree of her bloodline, which was still some distance from 100, currently at only 82.162%.

"Sister Clarissa, are you still in Ono World?" Ally sent Clarissa a message.

"Yes, what's wrong, little Ally?" Clarissa replied.

"Hmm~ Sister Clarissa, you've been in Ono World for several months now?" Ally said upon seeing Clarissa's reply, and at the same time, she silently mourned for the monsters of Ono World.

You guys really suffered.

"No choice," Clarissa said somewhat helplessly. Heaven knew what Death and Disaster Wings was thinking; her world couldn't withstand their descent.

Clarissa couldn't gamble; a being of their level certainly wouldn't care about the disaster their arrival would bring to a world.

This led to Clarissa being in a situation where she 'couldn't go home.' Even if she did return, it would be a fleeting visit, never staying long.

And she also feared that the other party would set an anchor point on her world
