After Lerna left the room in good mood Rex opened his status interface.

Monster Hunting Sect's specialty before the war was hunting beasts and it was still applicable when they started hunting Demi-Humans, so the number of spirit cores they had was quite high.
Rex had long converted 70% of the total Spirit Cores he received into status points, he left 5% of them for experimental purpose and gave the rest to Aru.
As a growing baby, he needs a lot of supplements for his body. Rex didn't need to save anything for Lerna because the spirit cores of weak beasts won't have much effect on her anymore, she would need the spirit cores of at least Monster Emperor stage beasts to increase her strength.
Rex felt happy when he looked at his total Status Points but his happiness died down when he looked at his Stored Exp and SE Points.
When the Combat Bots slaughtered the Monster Hunter Sect, Rex had gotten a lot of SE Points and Exp from them, just as Rose told him as long as the reason for the opponent's death was him he can take their soul fragments that remain after their soul leaves their body and extract the Exp out of their body. Originally after finishing the matter with Monster Hunting Sect Rex's Exp and SE Points skyrocketed but now they weren't even half of what he had gotten there.
A normal person who has a strong soul like an Alchemist and knows how to make Soul Seals can mobilize a tiny amount of Spirit Qi using their strong soul even when they are not soul cultivators and mix it with their own Qi to make Soul Seals, but this way it becomes harder to make Soul Seals compared to the soul cultivators who only use Spirit Qi to make them.
There are of course other ways to do it too and one of them is using an external object to help them make Soul Seals and Soul Arrays which are called Soul Instruments… but Rex is not yet aware of such methods.
Even though he is a soul cultivator but he is on the weaker side, a normal soul cultivator would have 100 P Spirit Qi which is their 100% Spirit Qi but Rex had only 98 P which shows he doesn't have much talent in soul cultivation.
When he started to make Fake Soul Seals using Spirit Qi, his Spirit Qi soon got depleted after making 5-7 of them and his Spirit Qi recovery rate was slow in his view so he started to use SE Points to make Fake Soul Seed Quickly for hundreds of corpses and depleted his SE Points at an astonishing speed.
Using Soul Points to make Fake Soul Seeds was like paying gold coins to buy chocolate.
If it was over there, then it was still understandable but he then started to do experiments with Soul Seals and Soul Arrays to make the new talisman, array discs, or even combine it with Array Circuit Tech and spent a big portion of SE Points just like that.
As for the Stored Exp, he leveled up all the Undead Zombies to further increase their strength, the Exp Absorption rate of the Undead Zombie was low so a lot of Exp was wasted in the process except that Rex also used Exp to charge all the main batteries of Frozen Flame, now that he also had a lot of Energy Converter v2.0 he connected most Energy Converters' input path together to supply a lot of Exp to all of them at once and save time.
'Now Let's see… My Vitality and Wisdom are left behind, to have a good constitution it's better if I push them to at least C grade, as for the rest of the points I want to continue to increase my Agility now that my Strength is already at B. I have decided.. add 24 to VIT, 26 to WIS and rest 140 to AGI, it's better to do it in small sets,' Rex started to allocate points.
When Rex slowly allocated all the status points, with usual headache and itching this time he also felt a warm sensation embracing him, while enjoying the warm current flowing in his body he heard a faint crackle sound coming from his bones, his body was going through unseen changes from inside.
Rex already knew that when a grade increases his body goes through unnoticeable but highly beneficial changes, last time when he increased his agility he had witnessed the changes in his muscles and tendons, the result made him feel that his body had become lighter.
After the warm sensation disappeared Rex slowly opened his eyes.

'No ability this time? looks like the conditions didn't meet… or I am just a little away from the threshold of acquiring one, Hugh.. this Agility got stuck at 49% if I had a few more points then I would be able to push it to B+, sigh… let's leave it for next time, I wonder if there is another sect similar to Monster Hunting Sect around here,' Rex stretched his arms and checked his body.
'As expected I feel like I am lighter like a feather, my moment speed has increased… hmm my thinking speed has also slightly increased and I feel…. livelier,' Rex thought.
After checking his body for a while Rex went to his workshop to arrange tools, he needed to prepare for a special event that will be held soon, Frozen Flame was going to take a big step forward and finally start to show its real abilities to the world.
By noon the Sung trio left after having a small chat with Jiang Shuang, they had already been working with Rex for a while now, most of the time the name alone of the Black Scorpion Sect was enough to clear the road because not many people wanted to make an enemy of an assassination organization. After Sung Huang left the city he talked with his little brother and decided to increase their support towards Frozen Flame.
Now that their relations with Royal Family were already not that good, they had to pick a side for future insurance.
After a few days, in the afternoon...
Myriad Auction House....
Several people in scholarly dresses were present in the main hall, the people present were not in the same age category some looked rather young while the others were old but their dress up and the vibe they gave off were somewhat similar, right now they were standing in straight rows and columns making a matrix-like formation.
Jiang Shuang, Jiang Qing, and Elder Jiang Kai were also present there but they were quietly standing on the side.
All those new people were scholars that were working in Myriad Auction House for a long time, Jiang Shuang had developed his connection long before he left the Jiang Family that's why he also had connections with several scholar factions that can supply new blood to his organization now and then.
Unlike normal cultivators who only focus on increasing their battle strength, scholar cultivators tend to focus more on developing their literacy skills and try their hand in fields like poetry and calligraphy.
Their ability shows more potential in business and politics so they naturally tend to join big organizations after graduation to secure a good future.
At the moment, all those scholars were facing Rex standing beside the newly modified reception counter.
The reception counter was no longer made of wood but an unknown black matter, the upper surface of the table was like a monitor screen and a window was displayed on it at the moment. The window was not a holographic one but was present on the black screen, there were also some mathematical-diagram-like patterns displayed on the sides of the main window, on the corner left there was a small rectangular made with a blue outline.
Rex had a thick book in his hand, he looked at the faces of all the scholars for a brief moment before he pointed at the book and spoke.
"All those of you that are here, your presence here means that you had successfully understood the instructions in this book and learned to operate the instrument, furthermore all of you passed the theory and practical assessment so you all are now qualified to play an important role in the expansion of Frozen Flame, from now on, depending on your talent and understanding you will be placed in different branches of Myriad Auction House or Frozen Flame Bank.
As mentioned before, the top ten of you have the opportunity to work in the Frozen Flame Bank in Corentis, I assure you that if your work meets my expectations then you won't have to worry about money and status for the rest of your lives," Rex said then took back the book, he then took out an ID card and placed it inside the boundaries of the blue rectangle on the black screen.
When the card was placed inside the rectangle, a blue light came from below the screen and moved from one side of the card to another. Then a notification appeared on the screen.
[Scanning ID…..]
[ID Confirmed]
A new window appeared asking for name and password with a small keyboard down below, Rex typed the name and password.
[Name: I'mGenius
Password: IncorrectPassword]
Jiang Qing on the side barely held her laughter after seeing the name and password.
Rex then opened the
Suddenly a holographic window appeared floating above the black screen, a list of names was present in serial order on it. The top ten names on the list were highlighted.
The device Rex was using is the instrument he mentioned to Jiang Shuang before, the one that needs to be attached to Portable Signal Towers to work, the instrument was the reception counter itself with a portable smart brain resembling the function of a computer attached to it.
Rex named the whole set consisting of all the instruments used to modify the Auction House's reception… Mobile Smart Reception Set.
The first two names on the list were familiar to Rex.
"As promised, the top ten on the list will be arranged in the two banks and only have to manage the paperwork, now it's time for the surprise gift for the first three candidates on the list.
The first, Jiang Qing from now on you will be the Bank Manager in Frozen Flame City, you will be given a Four Star ID of Wrist Band series, Level 3 Access and Level 2 Security as the reward," Rex took out a glass box with a pink watch-like bracelet in it, it was similar to the black SB v2.0 he was wearing on his hand.
The gadget was similar to Rex's in looks but it wasn't as advance at SB v2.0, it was somewhere between a normal ID Card and SB v2.0.
Jiang Qing happily walked over and took the box from his hand.
…Clap…Clap…
All the scholars clapped their hands with jealousy flashing through their eyes, Jiang Shuang had promised too many conditions to them for just being able to pass the assessment, even the income of the last ranker was as twice compared to before so the benefit of the top ranker obliviously surpasses them but what made them annoyed was the fact that Jiang Qing was already the daughter of Jiang Shuang so what was the need for her to even participate in the assessment and claim the first rank.
Most of them were thinking if the first place was already booked but the results of the assessment were given on the spot so they lacked the evidence to back up their words.
Although they felt wronged but no one spoke it out loud, not just for fear of offending her father but her too, after all, who knows if she became their boss by tomorrow.
Level 3 Access represented the kind of functions, data, or information she can access through her ID, like checking the detail or location of a person using her authority.
Level 2 Security refers to the personal security provided by Frozen Flame to her, for example, she would now receive a small number of private guards and Combat Bots accompanying her all around for her personal safety.
