“Third, ownership of a shop with a specified area in the largest city commercial center of the Survivor Fortress of the affiliated race.”
“Fourth, a piece of agricultural land with a specified area in the Survivor Fortress of the affiliated race.”
Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but think: if this is handled well, it might be worth even more than ten thousand Moon Age Gold. Little by little, Moon Age Gold will run out, but these two rewards—a shop and a piece of land—can continuously provide financial support.
From this perspective, the All Races of the Universe treat beginners quite well.
“Fifth, you can choose a peak expert to conduct a special training session for thirty cosmic days under their guidance.”
Hmm?
This reward… the first feeling Ye Zhongming had was not happiness, but concern.
The Star-Eye Clan is currently a thorn in the side of many large clans, and the peak experts in the All Races of the Universe are basically all from those major clans. What if something unexpected happens during the special training…?
It’s not that Ye Zhongming was overly suspicious; it’s just that he had killed too many people on the novice battlefield and offended too many large clans…
Seeing Ye Zhongming's expression, Commander Cheng Liujin understood. However, there was really no good way to handle this; if it came to it, he would have to give up.
“Sixth, grade A reading rights for five days at the Survivor Library Palace.”
Cheng Liujin knew that Ye Zhongming was unfamiliar with this, so he explained, “The Library Palace is the central building of the neutral city—Starshine City—within the first Survivor Fortress. Construction began in the second cosmic year after the first Survivor Fortress was built and put into use, and its history can almost be equated with that of the All Races of the Universe.”
Speaking of this place, Cheng Liujin's eyes were filled with awe.
“The purpose of building the Library Palace was because the threat from the slave race made the ancestors of the All Races of the Universe realize that they might face extermination at any time. So they summarized everything about their races—from daily life to skills—into books and stored them in the Library Palace, leaving a legacy for future generations so that many things would not be lost. This might have been the most united era for the All Races of the Universe; almost all races openly contributed their best resources.”
“However, it’s unclear when exactly each race started to harbor selfishness. The items placed inside are no longer the best; there are many hidden treasures. Especially in the last few hundred cosmic years, if it weren’t for the need to adhere to the ancestral rules and the obligation to periodically contribute to the Library Palace, perhaps no one would want to put their race’s books inside anymore. The value of this reward has been declining year by year; in the past, it could have ranked first.”
“But no matter what, the Library Palace has existed for many, many years, undergoing three expansions. It has now become a massive complex, with over ten thousand staff members, and there are already more than three thousand bookkeepers. That’s a force to be reckoned with. It is rumored that among the bookkeepers, there are no less than three with strength comparable to the current peak experts. Whether it’s true or not remains unknown. The most important thing is that the number of books has reached an astonishing five hundred million.”
Even Ye Zhongming, who had seen a lot, was deeply shocked after hearing Cheng Liujin’s introduction to the Library Palace. At the same time, he didn’t quite understand why such a large collection of books couldn’t be summarized into storage devices; wouldn’t that be much more convenient? Did it really need such a large space?
This felt more like a small force. If there really were that kind of peak experts inside, not to mention three, even one could perhaps contend with a medium-sized force.
