Ye Zhongming knew that after obtaining the lord's certificate twice in a row, the five rings society finally started to take him seriously. It was likely the end of hiding his identity.
Ye Zhongming smiled at the man and then led his people away.
This left the handsome man looking bewildered, unsure of what to do next.
To some extent, Ye Zhongming actually hoped to have a discussion with the five rings society. He had come this time with many 'projects' in mind, but it wasn't the right time for that.
Previously, he had spent a large sum of money to buy the location information for three necessary items, and now there was still one place he hadn't been to. Discussing with the five rings society? What if someone else got there first?
So, he decisively entered the third adventure zone - the Frozen Mountains.
There, the rewards included a universal equipment upgrade scroll that could upgrade blue equipment to gold.

Watching Ye Zhongming and the others disappear, the man forced a bitter smile and hurried back to report. Tong Steward, who had specially returned from the adventure zone to a hotel in the entertainment district, felt a flash of anger at this news, but then quickly calmed down.
"They entered the Frozen Mountains?"
The handsome man nodded, "I didn't get it wrong; they did indeed enter the Frozen Mountains."
Tong Steward said nothing but lightly tapped his palm, and a screen made of light appeared, showing the situation inside the Frozen Mountains.
The man watched enviously. Although he knew that this ability could only be used within the brightwater realm, he was still deeply fascinated by this god-like ability.
"The completion rate has exceeded ten percent."
Seeing that the Frozen Mountains had reached nineteen percent completion, Tong Steward felt slightly relieved. Although he didn't think this trio would continue to crush everything and become 'lords' of the adventure zones, he still hoped their actions would stop here.
The five rings society was far from the outside speculation that they held complete control over the brightwater realm. They still had many things to complete, and the so-called feast was ultimately for the purpose of utilization.
As the master of the brightwater realm, Tong Steward cared about this matter more than anyone else. He would never allow the final ownership of the brightwater realm to be in question. He knew that once he controlled this magical space, one day he would stand at the pinnacle of the world, looking down on countless beings.
"Since they are busy with their adventures for now, let them be."
Tong Steward thought for a moment and instructed the handsome man: "In a moment, I will give you a list. Send our reserve teams to the adventure zones on the list, prioritizing those with lower completion rates. Whether they do it themselves or assist other organizations, the goal is singular: to raise the completion rate of all locations on the list to above ten percent."
The handsome man quickly nodded in agreement. Half a minute later, after reviewing all the adventure zones in Area 3, Tong Steward handed him a list of locations that had not yet reached ten percent completion.
The man glanced at it and paused, saying, "Steward, some of these locations are very dangerous. If we prioritize according to your instructions, we may suffer significant losses."
Tong Steward pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "It doesn't matter. It's settled. I'll talk to the other stewards; you just execute it."

When the passage opened again, Ye Zhongming, Gao Yi, and Zhao Xiangxue emerged. All three had a look of fatigue on their faces, but some excitement was still evident.
In this adventure in the Frozen Mountains, although they did not obtain the lord's chest, they still received the final rewards. There had been a little unpleasantness with other organizations during the process, but they didn't mind.
