Chapter 1 "My Sister?"
“My sister?” Ke Rui smiled at Hong Xinyuan's question, very happily, “She probably won’t be able to come in today, only tomorrow.”

“Can’t come in?” Hong Xinyuan was even more confused by what Ke Rui was saying. “How can she not come in? She has Level 2 authority. Who would dare to stop her?”

In the entire upper district, anyone with formal identification could generally come and go freely. Although they might be temporarily barred or quickly evicted due to certain events, even the basic-level managers wouldn't dare to stop someone with Level 2 authority.

“No! No! Nobody is stopping her.” Ke Rui shook his head, grinning. “It’s just because the Spiritual Road is open today.”

“The Spiritual Road?” Hong Xinyuan was momentarily stunned, then realized something was off and looked at Shi Feng. “Then how did you get in?”

“He must have come through the Spiritual Road to get in, right?” The beautiful woman sitting next to Hong Xinyuan glanced at Shi Feng and said leisurely.

“Passed the Spiritual Road? How is that possible!” Hong Xinyuan looked at Shi Feng, his eyes full of disbelief.

No matter how he looked at it, Shi Feng was over twenty years old, but not yet twenty-five. To pass the Spiritual Road, his spiritual level would have to reach at least Special Grade, the same as his own.

But the upper district of Yuantian City had never produced such a spiritual monster.

“That’s right, Uncle Hong, Shi Feng really did pass the Spiritual Road. You wouldn’t believe how dumbfounded everyone in the hall was.” Ke Rui nodded, his expression excited.

As soon as Ke Rui finished speaking, the beautiful woman who had been sitting stood up and walked directly to Shi Feng.

“Hello, I am Xia Qingying, the general manager of the basic level.” The beautiful woman introduced herself to Shi Feng. “I really didn’t expect that the person Old Hong mentioned would be you, who passed the Spiritual Road today with a Special Grade spiritual level.”

The beautiful woman's sudden action surprised Hong Xinyuan.

Who was Xia Qingying?

She was the general manager of the basic level in the entire upper district of Yuantian City. Don’t let her young age of twenty-six fool you. Her identity and status were terrifying. Her power in the basic level ranked among the top three.

For Xia Qingying to take the initiative to introduce herself to Shi Feng was ten times more exaggerated than Shi Feng passing the Spiritual Road.

After a moment of surprise, Hong Xinyuan immediately stepped forward.

"Shi Feng, General Manager Xia is a very busy person. Even the managers of the basic level find it extremely difficult to meet her. She has finally taken the time today to personally register your identity and authority.” Hong Xinyuan nodded, explaining directly to Shi Feng.

People like Xia Qingying were not someone you could meet whenever you wanted.

Now that Xia Qingying was taking the initiative to show goodwill, he naturally wanted Shi Feng to seize the opportunity, so that he would have fewer troubles living in the upper district in the future.

“Hello, General Manager Xia.” Shi Feng nodded. “Thank you for your trouble today.”

He understood Hong Xinyuan's initiative and thoughts and was grateful to him.

“It’s no trouble at all. This matter was originally supposed to be handled by me, the general manager. It’s just that I’m usually too busy, and there are very few people who come to register, so I only formally register people once every few months.” Xia Qingying smiled, her eyes carefully examining Shi Feng. “Your appearance is truly astonishing. Not only did you pass the Spiritual Road before the age of twenty-five, but you only spent a short thirteen minutes. I’ve never seen such a spiritual talent in the upper district.”

“What! Thirteen minutes?” Hong Xinyuan was shocked.

He only thought that Shi Feng had passed the Spiritual Road, but he didn't expect it to take so little time.

Even other Special Grade members took an average of about forty minutes to walk the Spiritual Road, ten minutes longer than the average time for those under twenty.

But Shi Feng actually only took thirteen minutes. It was as if Xia Qingying was joking with him…

“That’s right, this Shi Feng just broke the time record for the Spiritual Road for those under 25 in our upper district of Yuantian City.” Xia Qingying nodded, looking at Shi Feng and laughing. “If I didn’t hurry up and formally register your identity as a talent like you, those old guys above would probably scold me to death.”

Hong Xinyuan was also stunned.

With such terrifying spirit, his spiritual level was probably not far from a Spiritual Master.

A Spiritual Master!

There wasn’t one in the entire basic level of the upper district of Yuantian City. There were only a few in the middle level, and each of them had an identity and status that was enough to frighten the Jushi Consortium.

Even if Shi Feng was not yet a Spiritual Master, the various upper districts would probably be fighting over such a genius.

"General Manager Xia, you're too kind. I was just lucky. I believe that before long, many people in the upper district will surpass me."

Shi Feng was actually quite nervous about Xia Qingying's attention.

He had passed the Spiritual Road by taking a shortcut. In terms of real spiritual level, he was probably only at the Advanced level, far from the real Special Grade.

According to his estimation, Special Grade spirit should be close to the fifth-order spiritual level. He was only at the middle level of the fourth-order, so he was still far behind.

“We’ve talked so much, let’s get down to business.” Xia Qingying looked at Shi Feng, who seemed a little at a loss, and smiled faintly. “The formal registration of identity is very simple. I just need to scan you with the device, and you will be an official member of the upper district of Yuantian City. The troublesome thing is what reward to give you.”

“Aren’t the rewards for passing the Spiritual Road fixed?” Shi Feng asked curiously.

He had heard Ke Rui say before that as long as you passed the Spiritual Road, Green God Corporation would reward you with 10,000 points and a bottle of life potion, or other potions of equal value.

Not to mention the life potion, the points in the upper district were as important as money in the outside world. Because transactions in the upper district were bought and sold through Green God Corporation's internal points, and the amount that could be exchanged each day was limited depending on the authority level. It was not something that could be exchanged with money.

People who had not obtained authority could only exchange 100 points a day.

People with Level 3 authority could exchange 200 points a day.

People with Level 2 authority could exchange 500 points a day.

People with Level 1 authority could exchange 1,000 points a day.

So in the upper district, one point was equal to 10,000 credits, but 10,000 credits were not equal to one point.

Some people could earn credits that outside elites could not imagine by selling points in the upper district. However, those who really did this were usually desperate for money, and the major consortiums entering the upper district were happy to see such fools.

Because a standard Green God Corporation meal in the basic level cost 30 points. People without authority could only eat three standard meals a day in the upper district.

That was equivalent to spending 300,000 credits for one meal!

Just hearing this, Shi Feng felt that the upper district was not in the same world as the one he lived in. 300,000 credits was enough for him to eat for several months, even though his physique had improved a lot and ordinary food was no longer very meaningful, but here it was just one meal…

And this was just eating. In the basic level, there were also many training facilities that could help people quickly improve their physique, and even methods to improve their spirit. Those costs were all points. Just going to an ordinary training area for an hour would cost 20 points, and advanced training areas would cost 50 points per hour…

It could be said that even people with Level 3 authority did not have enough points to spend. Only those with Level 2 authority could meet their daily needs.

Of course, if you didn’t have money to exchange, anyone with authority could also earn some points by accepting Green God Corporation’s work to maintain their daily life in the upper district.

Like Shi Feng, coming to the upper district with Zero Wing's little assets, he was just a poor man, someone who couldn't even afford ordinary housing…

So 10,000 points was really a lot of wealth to Shi Feng.

“It’s fixed, but that reward is only for people under twenty.” Xia Qingying nodded and said slowly, “There are no regulations for people like you who are under twenty-five and over twenty who can pass the Spiritual Road, not to mention that you broke the record for passing the Spiritual Road for those under twenty-five.”

“Then can I be rewarded with the water of life?” Shi Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“The water of life?” Xia Qingying smiled. “Do you know that the water of life is very precious even within Green God Corporation? Not to mention you passing the Spiritual Road, even if you become a Spiritual Master, it won’t be easy to obtain a bottle of the water of life. The exchange price on the surface is as high as 30 million points, and you also need to spend 1 million contribution points.”

“So expensive?” Shi Feng was also shocked.

“Expensive?” Xia Qingying shook her head and smiled. “Do you know that the water of life is one of Green God Corporation’s greatest masterpieces? Although it can’t bring the dead back to life, as long as a person has a breath left, they can be completely restored, but the recovery time varies. It can even greatly increase your lifespan and maintain your youth and vitality for sixty years.”

“Sixty years is almost a lifetime for ordinary people, and the water of life is equivalent to allowing you to live another lifetime, while also keeping you in a state of youth and vitality. Do you still think it’s expensive?”

“……” Shi Feng was unable to refute this and even agreed with it.

For those world-class consortium leaders, money was nothing, they could earn it back quickly, but life only came once. If they could allow these people to live another life, even if they spent all their savings, these people probably wouldn’t hesitate.

Just like those ancient emperors, they would spare no expense for longevity.

Hong Xinyuan saw that Shi Feng was very interested in the water of life and couldn’t help but persuade him: “Shi Feng, don’t even think about that water of life. Even those who live in the middle level can hardly afford a bottle. Your priority now is to improve your spirit. As long as your spirit improves further, entering the middle level will be just around the corner.”

“That’s right, let’s stop talking about the water of life.” Xia Qingying also felt that there was no need to say any more, because it was still too early for Shi Feng.

Afterwards, Xia Qingying used the light brain on her wrist to scan Shi Feng, and instantly all of Shi Feng's data appeared in the light brain.

"The identity has been registered." Xia Qingying looked at Shi Feng's data and said very satisfied, "Next is the issue of your reward."

"This time you passed the Spiritual Road and broke the record for the Spiritual Road. As the general manager of the basic level, I can give you two choices."

"The first choice is to reward you with 500,000 points and 50 bottles of potions of equal value to life potions."

"The second choice is to reward you with an ordinary residence in the basic level."

"Choose one of these two rewards."
