Chapter 434 - 250: The Royal Shark Race’s Mermaid’s Tears

Chapter 434: Chapter 250: The Royal Shark Race’s Mermaid’s Tears

The corners of Zhong Yi’s mouth twitched with a hint of resignation.

Zhong Yi had never heard anything about a Monopolizer Badge before.

Obtaining the Monopolizer Badge on this Secret Realm excursion had come as a complete surprise.

Zhong Yi sighed inwardly.

’I’m really drawing too much attention!’

’But if it’s just some fame on the Virtual Source Network, then so be it.’

This fame could earn Zhong Yi a massive amount of resources.

Zhong Yi could use these resources to enhance his strength and develop his Soul Soil.

This was a good thing for Zhong Yi.

But Zhong Yi also warned himself inwardly not to make any deep-seated enemies at his current stage of development.

’I can travel to other worlds with my Cloud Ridge World Dragon.’

’If I provoke a truly formidable enemy, they might have a way to reach my home, the Guardian Beast World.’

’But the chances of them having such means are very slim!’

’Even if they have the Ability to travel between worlds, it would be extremely difficult for them to obtain my world’s coordinates.’

"I understand. Help me apply for a Gold Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm."

Xu Nan handed an Energy Transmission Platform to Zhong Yi.

"When you leave the Virtual Source Network, activate this Energy Transmission Platform."

"You will then be able to receive the Gold Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm in the real world."

Xu Nan was well aware that one could not rush trying to get on good terms with Zhong Yi.

In the future, even if Zhong Yi had no other business with him, Xu Nan would still get a chance to interact with him during the monthly application for a Heart of the Secret Realm.

Zhong Yi chose a Gold Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm because he urgently needed to provide a living space for the Golden Mayflies in his Soul Base.

Zhong Yi’s Soul Base was of the Life Element, and such an element could also allow the Golden Mayflies to survive within it.

But in a Life Element Soul Base, the Golden Mayflies’ growth and recovery speeds would be limited.

Whereas in a Gold Attribute Secret Realm Space, it could speed up the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect’s hatching of Sub-Worms and cultivation of elite Sub-Worms.

The Gold Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm was a rare type of Heart of the Secret Realm.

It wasn’t produced in any specific Secret Realm.

Exchanging for this rare-attribute Heart of the Secret Realm was undoubtedly in Zhong Yi’s best interest.

Once Zhong Yi integrated the Gold Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm, he would no longer need to keep the Golden Mayfly swarm in a metal container.

He could directly let the Golden Mayflies build their nest in the Gold Attribute region of his Soul Base.

When Zhong Yi checked the messages on his Soul Fighting Bracelet, he discovered he was being bombarded with friend requests!

What Zhong Yi needed now was time to consolidate his gains; he had no intention of rapidly expanding his social network right away.

The resources and channels that the Chasing Light Dragon Palace could provide were already enough for now.

Zhong Yi did a targeted search among these friend requests.

He found that Qiao Shuyu had indeed kept her word and sent him a friend request.

After accepting Qiao Shuyu’s friend request, Zhong Yi cleared out all the other friend requests.

Zhong Yi was just about to reply to the messages from Long Mu and Liu Shu...

...when he saw that Qiao Shuyu, whose friend request he had just accepted, had sent a request to meet in his reception room.

’Meeting up right after adding me as a friend? This woman is certainly direct!’

Since it concerned his Divine Origin Value and the Anomalous Tide Coral Qiao Shuyu had promised, Zhong Yi accepted her request.

Soon, Qiao Shuyu appeared in Zhong Yi’s reception room. She wore a pale yellow dress, her hair adorned with several magnificent, jeweled hairpins.

Looking at Zhong Yi, Qiao Shuyu’s expression was a mixture of surprise, something inscrutable, and admiration.

The Wanyu Gambling Company did not have any public-facing leaderboards.

The leaderboards opened within the Secret Realm could only be seen by the 3,000 participants.

Although there were no public leaderboards, the Wanyu Gambling Company issued 12 unique badges, corresponding to the six different Secret Realm Levels.

Furthermore, ownership of these 12 badges was fluid.

Whenever the holder of a badge changed, it was big news on the Virtual Source Network.

Thus, Qiao Shuyu had heard the news very quickly.

Qiao Shuyu felt both surprised and somewhat apologetic about it.

She was surprised because she had been there to witness history in the making.

She felt guilty because if Zhong Yi had killed her back then instead of agreeing to her request and letting her take second place, he would have earned even more points!

It felt as though her very existence had tainted this historic moment with a hint of regret.

This made Qiao Shuyu feel a little apprehensive.

When Qiao Shuyu left the Secret Realm, she was already exhausted.

It wasn’t just Zhong Yi who immediately left the Virtual Source Network after the Secret Realm exploration ended.

Qiao Shuyu had also been forced to leave the Virtual Source Network.

When she logged back on to the Virtual Source Network, Qiao Shuyu was afraid that Zhong Yi would think she was dishonest.

That’s why, right after adding Zhong Yi as a friend, Qiao Shuyu immediately sent him a request to enter his reception room.

All Zhenxing C Level Talents could obtain their own exclusive reception room on the Virtual Source Network.

In Qiao Shuyu’s view, someone who could obtain the Second Level Secret Realm Monopolizer Badge must be a Zhenxing C Level Talent.

Seeing Zhong Yi sitting on the sofa, Qiao Shuyu couldn’t help but recall the fear of being dominated by him in the Divine Wood Secret Realm.

This made Qiao Shuyu instinctively flinch, but she quickly cursed herself inwardly for being pathetic.

’In this reception room, it’s not like Zhong Yi can attack me.’

’What’s there to be afraid of?’

"I owed you a total of 2,473 Divine Origin Value. I’ve transferred 2,500 to you through my Soul Fighting Bracelet."
