100: The Secret of the Ancient Stone Platform (Part 2)

God Sky's intention was essentially to have Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom act as his proxies for the purchase.

He was personally willing to cover all the costs and, upon completion of the task, would give each of them five million as a reward.

Just as Bai Tian was about to respond, Flowers in Full Bloom preempted him and stated her own conditions: "We can help you, but there are two conditions."

"First, the remaining two [city building tokens] must belong to us. Second, we also want a share of the Mount Treasure Boxes."

She added, "But don't worry, we'll cover the costs for the city building tokens and the Mount Treasure Boxes that belong to us ourselves."

Upon hearing this answer, God Sky's sharp sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he gave Flowers in Full Bloom and Bai Tian a peculiar look.

Then, he said sincerely, "I have always held deep respect for both of you. If you are willing, I very much hope you can join [Above the Gods]."

"In addition to the positions of Vice Guild Leader and Chief Elder, I will also offer you an annual salary of ten million each, plus one-tenth of the guild's annual profits as a bonus."

Hearing this, Flowers in Full Bloom smiled lightly and politely declined God Sky's offer: "Thank you for the invitation, but we are used to Freedom and don't really like being tied down."

Bai Tian also nodded in agreement.

Although God Sky's face showed a trace of disappointment at their response, he did not press the matter.

However, he gave Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom a deep look and said, "Regarding the remaining two city building tokens, I can only agree to give you one. I have already promised a Close Friend to buy one for him."

"I hope you can understand and not make me break my promise to someone."

Flowers in Full Bloom nodded to show understanding, then looked at Bai Tian: "What's your opinion?"

Bai Tian, picking up on Flowers in Full Bloom's subtle hint, immediately understood her meaning: "I can forgo that five million reward, but I must get a share of one [city building token]."

Hearing this, Flowers in Full Bloom felt a flicker of joy deep inside; she silently praised Bai Tian's cleverness for understanding her thoughts with just a glance.

God Sky's expression darkened slightly as he tried to persuade them: "Brother Brilliant, I've already promised someone else. Besides, since you both dislike being tied down and are good friends, wouldn't sharing one [city building token] be better?"

However, Flowers in Full Bloom said firmly, "No, I won't share. I absolutely must have one [city building token] for myself."

"If I don't get my own share, I won't do this proxy purchase."

"Don't forget, that terrifying woman Emil will also appear tomorrow night."

"First, we have to fight such a powerful opponent, and then it's uncertain whether we'll even succeed in waiting for the Ghost Angel Messenger."

"Asking me to take such a huge risk without letting me share in the spoils is simply unreasonable."

Bai Tian was equally resolute: "I feel the same way."

God Sky, being shrewd, saw through Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom's act at a glance.

But he understood that the initiative now lay in Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom's hands.

After all, each entry into the Nether Heaven Great Realm was random; tomorrow night, God Sky might not necessarily appear on that Ancient Stone Platform again.

But Bai Tian and the other, possessing the [netherworld positioning talisman], were certain to appear there.

So, God Sky took a deep breath and raised the stakes again: "Ten million!"

"I'll give each of you ten million, as long as you don't make me break my promise to someone."

However, Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom simultaneously shook their heads in refusal.

This caused a flicker of displeasure to cross God Sky's face, but it vanished quickly.

"Fine!"

He conceded: "I just hope that for the overall strategy of the Great Xia Region, you two can bring back as many Mount Treasure Boxes as possible for me."

He knew this matter could only rely on Bai Tian and the other; otherwise, he wouldn't have approached them in the first place.

Agreeing now was also a move of helplessness.

As he spoke, a smile returned to God Sky's face, and he extended his hand to Bai Tian: "Brilliant, how about adding each other as friends?"

Bai Tian nodded in agreement and proactively sent a friend request.

After becoming friends, God Sky laughed and said, "Before the Nether Heaven Great Realm starts tomorrow night, I'll mail all the gold coins I receive to you."

"I'm counting on you."

Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom nodded solemnly: "We'll do our best."

After the negotiation concluded, God Sky turned and entered the teleportation array, leaving Border Wild City.

Once he left and returned to his own map, he immediately made a voice call.

"Firefly, go investigate Flowers in Full Bloom and Brilliant's real-world backgrounds for me..."

——

"Brilliant, let's go collect gold coins. Not just for the two city building tokens; for those Mount Treasure Boxes, we'll buy up as many as we can."

A rare flash of heroic spirit appeared in Flowers in Full Bloom's eyes.

"You listened to me today and got a city building token. You'll definitely thank me for it in the future."

After saying this, Flowers in Full Bloom, decisive as ever, immediately began gathering gold coins.

However, she didn't know that Bai Tian actually had 790,000 gold coins on him.

Although the price of gold coins had dropped significantly now, with one coin only worth four or five hundred yuan, it might soon rebound because of this.

Bai Tian not only had 790,000 gold coins but also over 106 million in his bank card.

Therefore, he didn't need to collect more gold coins; he already had more than enough on him.

Checking the time, it was already 12:48 AM.

Seeing his Close Friend was still online, Bai Tian immediately told Liao Fan to log off. The two went out to enjoy a delicious small barbecue, then returned to continue gaming.

The two top-of-the-line luxury gaming pods at home, bought for 300,000 each, even had a sleep-assist mode, allowing them to rest while playing.

Tonight, Bai Tian decided to take Liao Fan on a crazy leveling spree and also increase his own mana limit.

Because tomorrow night they would enter the Nether Heaven Great Realm and face the powerful enemy Emil again.

Emil's true damage was indeed astonishing, but Bai Tian believed that if he pushed his health limit to the maximum, Emil wouldn't be able to pose much of a threat to him.

In fact, during today's hasty encounter with Emil, Bai Tian hadn't shown his true strength, not even 30% of his capabilities.

If he now fully activated the Body Strengthening Technique, his vitality could increase by 640%, or even 1280%, bringing his health up to 460,000.

Converting some mana, his HP could easily break 500,000.

With over 500,000 HP, and then boosting his attack, defense, attack speed, and movement speed by 1280%, what could even Emil do to him then!

For the following time, Bai Tian took Liao Fan on acrazy leveling spree.

Until before 7 PM the next day, they only logged off twice, staying online for a full eighteen hours.

Bai Tian successfully leveled Liao Fan from 10 to 16, and Liao Fan kept excitedly shouting about how awesome Bai Tian was!

Bai Tian himself, although he didn't level up, had his experience bar increase by 48%.

There was no helping it; the higher the level, the more experience needed to level up.

But the good news was, he had stacked another 31,000 mana. His total mana had now reached an astonishing 141,940!

"Bai Tian, today is the Lantern Festival! There's still over 50 minutes before entering the Nether Heaven Great Realm. Let's log off, eat something, and then come back online!"

After more than ten hours of intense fighting, even though Liao Fan was just acting as an experience leech, he was feeling a bit drained.

"OK."

Bai Tian gave him a gesture, then put away the Ancestral Return Strange Horse and the Little Dragon Zombie.

But before logging off, Bai Tian decided to test his limits and see, with his current mana limit, to what extent he could enhance the [Cold Abyss Blessing] skill.

After all, he was about to enter the [Nether Heaven Great Realm] to face the powerful enemy Emil.

Bai Tian burned 100,000 mana without hesitation and immediately cast — [Cold Abyss Blessing].

——"(Ding-dong!)"

"(You are not a third-class advancement player. The maximum enhancement you can currently enjoy is 1000%.)"

"(Your attack, defense, attack speed, and movement speed are increased by 1000%.)"

This notification stunned Bai Tian; he had never tried pushing the enhancement beyond 640% before.

So there was such a restriction in the game.

A 1000% enhancement meant a 10-fold increase!

It seemed that even with enough mana, to enjoy higher bonus effects and break the limits, he needed to reach level 40 himself and undergo the third-class advancement.

However, a 10-fold increase was already plenty powerful for now.

A 10-fold boost for himself, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, the Little Dragon Zombie, plus Flowers in Full Bloom and her Little Phoenix Zombie.

With them joining forces like this, they would absolutely be brutally overpowered!

"Hehe..."

"Emil, just wait and see how we don't scare you to death tonight."
