Replenish Abyss Consumables

When Yang Jian went offline, he felt the stored abyssal essence once again begin to strengthen his body.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been online for over ten days.

Even though Yang Jian had tried to control it,

the physical strengthening level had once again dropped to just over sixty percent.

It was only because he had enough abyssal essence in stock.

Otherwise, he would have had to consider supporting the ‘Cloud Ridge’ world!

Yang Jian took a shower and changed his clothes.

By the time he arrived at the reception room, unhurriedly,

the two men and their entourages had already been waiting for an hour or so.

“Sorry, I kept you two waiting!”

Whether he truly valued them or not was another matter,

but Yang Jian's attitude was impeccable.

“Alas! I’m a bit behind on leveling up, and I haven’t been offline for the past ten days. I just received a sudden notification and rushed to shower and change!”

Nick Fury smiled, speaking Chinese with perfect pronunciation.

“My fault. I was eager to visit and didn’t follow the rules by sending an invitation in advance. I hope Mr. Yang doesn’t mind!”

Yang Jian paused, his hand holding the teacup.

He sized up the foreigner in front of him.

“Director Nick?”

Chief Secretary Chen of Linhai City, smiling, stood up to interject.

“Let me introduce. This is Nick Fury, the Deputy Director of America’s Department of Homeland Defense and Strategic Assurance!”

As Chief Secretary Chen introduced Nick,

the other man stood up and bowed slightly towards Yang Jian.

His posture was very humble!

Yang Jian watched, nodding slightly in his heart.

Isn't it said that power is a man's best medicine?

Yang Jian now felt a sense of euphoria, as if he was about to ascend to immortality!

After Chief Secretary Chen’s introduction, he turned to Nick and said, “Chairman Yang, I imagine you two are quite familiar, so there’s no need for an introduction, right?”

“No need, no need, I’ve long admired your reputation!”

Yang Jian stood up and extended his hand.

Nick Fury grasped Yang Jian’s hand with both of his.

He smiled, seemingly excited, and shook it up and down.

Then, at the appropriate moment, he released his grip.

What was Yang Jian’s strength now?

He could see through Nick Fury’s emotions, actions, and micro-expressions like a hawk.

The other party’s excitement was purely an act.

There wasn't a hint of genuine excitement!

But it didn't matter.

When the other party openly displayed respect,

it at least showed that they truly couldn’t afford to offend your power!

And didn't want to!

Their strength was inferior, and they had a favor to ask!

Nick Fury didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.

He immediately opened with a request for cooperation.

“Director Nick, our Star Palace made it very clear from the beginning: as long as the price is right, anyone can come!”

He said, looking at Chief Secretary Chen beside him.

“I don’t know if Chief Secretary Chen has told you, but the Xia Kingdom’s official forces have already challenged Abyssal Monsters six times! Even the Camel Kingdom’s team has come three times!”

Yang Jian only mentioned challenges, not whether they won!

The win rate of external teams was currently less than fifty percent, which was truly a bit dismal!

Conversely, some teams from Star Palace made Yang Jian look at them with new eyes.

Things that these elite teams from major powers hadn't accomplished,

two blue-purple teams from Star Palace had successfully killed.

This made it even more commendable!

Currently, these two teams had already signed core personnel contracts!

All benefits were maximized.

For players with clear combat intuition or talent,

Yang Jian intended to focus on nurturing them.

Hearing Yang Jian’s words,

Nick Fury smiled outwardly, but cursed inwardly!

If our people could get through, would we need to waste time here with you?

We would just come and pay for it!

They had also tried to open a path to the West Continent’s Royal City.

They heard that the Royal City’s teleportation array could connect to all teleportation arrays in the New World!

Teleportation between worlds was relatively simpler.

As long as you could reach the Royal City... but after trying,

they found it wasn't simple at all.

The complete passage was guarded by various tyrannical intelligent races.

Their strength and teamwork capabilities were terrifyingly strong.

The level suppression of level 55 made human wave tactics very difficult to be effective!

Not to mention, there was also a Level 55 Golden BOSS guarding the entrance!

Now, let alone opening a path to the Royal City,

they couldn't even defeat the gatekeepers!

“Hehe, we are ultimately inferior in skill; our strength doesn’t allow our warriors to cross continents!”

Nick Fury was very honest.

His attitude of seeking help was fully displayed!

He knew very well that being stubborn wasn't very useful.

He didn't want to play any tricks.

He wasn't even the director yet! Just a deputy!

If he put on airs, acting as if he expected Yang Jian to kneel and beg him for a favor,

wasting a hard-won opportunity would be a small matter.

If he were casually dealt with by this Chairman Yang, Chief Secretary Chen probably wouldn't even speak up for him!

“Oh dear!”

Yang Jian looked regretful.

“How will you manage if you can’t get here? Our guild’s training grounds are currently located at the Zhenhai City stronghold. You can challenge after paying the fee!”

Nick Fury cooperated with Yang Jian’s act,

while internally ranting furiously.

Your acting is so unconvincing!

An ‘oh dear’ for lament, a ‘sigh’ for regret!

It’s only because I absolutely have to cooperate with your performance.

If I had any other option, I’d flip the table!

Facts proved that Nick Fury couldn't flip the table.

He didn't have the strength, so he could only cooperate.

“Our East King said he can pay an appearance fee!”

“How much?”

“You name your conditions!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian became a little more serious.

Sensible!

With this attitude, things would be much easier!

After Yang Jian went, America’s official forces would pay Yang Jian 200,000 gold coins for travel expenses.

Then, the exchange price for each challenge opportunity would be increased to 800 contribution points!

As for what items were worth what price… Yang Jian would bring a new exchange table then.

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury’s mouth twitched.

If you do this… the challenge price is more than doubled?

You're treating us like Little Japan… Although this cooperation was full of complaints, Nick still swallowed his pride and accepted it!

The situation was very clear now.

The Congress having its own power to defend against the abyss was paramount.

Levels in the forties and fifties were not the limit of the game.

No matter how valuable these things were now,

they would inevitably be phased out later.

Besides, it was still the same old saying… he didn’t have to pay for it!

200,000 gold coins and 800 contribution points.

This was actually Yang Jian’s psychological price.

Since the other party didn't try to bargain, Yang Jian wouldn't make any more small moves.

After all, Yang Jian's goal was not only to harvest the entire world,

but also to cultivate a group of decent overseas powerhouses.

At the very least, they needed to be able to struggle for their own destiny.

They shouldn't fall before the abyss even exerted its full force.

After negotiating with Nick Fury,

he would first contact America to arrange materials and teams.

Yang Jian would arrive at Star-Spangled City on the West Continent tomorrow at noon!

Yang Jian planned to stay there for six hours!

Six hours, teams that could win could have two rounds.

If they couldn't win, thinking more wouldn't help.

He declined Chief Secretary Chen's invitation to dine together.

Yang Jian stated that he had been very busy recently and truly had no time for socializing!

This wasn't a lie.

At the very least, Yang Jian had to arrange for staff to work overtime tonight.

To organize the new contribution point exchange table!

To see what Star Palace needed most right now.

Then list it and send it to Nick.

So that the West Continent could prepare the items for him in advance.

Go there, pay, fight the abyss, and done!

Don't let people arrive and then they're still scrambling for ticket money!

Of course, this price was what Yang Jian gave to East King.

As for how much East King collected over there, that was his own business.

Who told this person to be so sensible!

He deserved to make money.

He also didn't want to get too involved in the struggles of these remnants of the old era!

However, the news of East King's hefty invitation to Yang Jian still spread like wildfire.

Now, the whole world was in a state of observation.

Especially Romanov II of the Bear Empire was even more excited.

If East King can afford to invite him, why can't I, Romanov II?

You have to go through Congress to get things done!

Everything in my household is decided by me!

Romanov II's actions were swift.

The first moment he received the news, he sent a diplomatic note to the Xia Kingdom!

Requesting to dispatch a military minister to visit Xia!

Saying it was a visit was false; anyone with an eye could see what was going on!

This time, Qingyun Pavilion didn't block it either!

Let whoever wants to come, come!

Originally, they were quite indignant about the challenge price for the abyss being three times that of Star Palace.

But with the 500 from the foreign forces and the 800 from America… Qingyun Pavilion felt a sense of relief.

Now there was another one rushing to be fleeced… then let them come!

Since he had decided to earn this extra money!

Yang Jian thought, he might as well take this time to go out and restock.

These days, a total of 14 teams from the guild had exchanged for the qualification to fight the abyss.

Among them, 8 teams won!

The two blue-purple teams that Yang Jian originally thought shouldn't win actually won.

Plus, Zhou Yue would go and brush an Abyssal Monster every now and then.

Mo Suqing and Bai Youyou's various attempts!

Long Ruoling felt embarrassed to keep bringing her team to fight, but she also took advantage of her position to challenge four times, winning all four battles!

Long Ruoling needed to pay contribution points.

However, the contribution points required for her team's challenges were halved!

Their team's own stock, plus the Long family's resources,

buying a ticket was easy, wasn't it?

Yang Jian roughly checked the time.

He could go directly from the ‘Cloud Ridge’ world to the West Continent tomorrow at noon… Yang Jian hadn’t expected the Space-Time Altar to not be completed immediately.

Whether he expected it or not, it was already a given fact!

He himself also needed to replenish some abyssal essence.

When Yang Jian took away the Space-Time Training Ground,

the entire East Continent was in an uproar.

Many players who were still hesitating and observing found that with this hesitation,

the opportunity was gone!

Well-informed external forces probably knew that Yang Jian was preparing to take the items to the West Continent.

Players with limited information were still lamenting.

However, Yang Jian didn't go to the West Continent immediately.

It had been agreed that he would arrive tomorrow at noon.

If he went too early, others might think Yang Jian was too eager!

Arriving once again in the ‘Cloud Ridge’ world.

Blended into the crowd, Yang Jian easily teleported from the other guild's Space-Time Altar to their original world… Feeling the various Abyssal Monsters here,

Yang Jian's eyes showed no fear.

Only the excitement of finding prey…
