In the Trading Mystic Realm, the Crown Crystal Man picked up the stone.
He sounded doubtful.
"This is a seed to be sacrificed to a Demon God. If fresh blood is poured on it, it can be sacrificed to a Demon God.
Only the team leader of the Dark Whisper Alliance would use such a thing.
Where did you get it from?"
"It's a secret."
Jack didn't say anything. The Crown Crystal Man eyed him a few times.
Could Legion have killed him?
As soon as he thought of this, even the Crown Crystal Man himself felt that it was absurd.
A leader with a seed was usually close to a Second Grade Guardian.
When faced with a life-threatening crisis, they could sacrifice their life force to the seed and gain ten times the explosive power!
These fellows were even harder to deal with than ordinary Third Grade Guardians!
Legion was only a Level 50 Shield Envoy. How could he defeat the latter?
"In principle, the Federation will recycle and destroy this seed."
"No problem."
Jack readily agreed.
"As compensation, I will give you a C-rank contribution. It will be based on killing a Third Grade Guardian."
"A total of 1,000 contribution points. After the approval process is over, you will be paid."
Jack had more than 30,000 contribution points in his hands. These 1,000 contribution points didn't make much of a difference.
Speaking of contribution points,
Jack thought of the seriously injured Uncle Owen and asked,
"What kind of compensation will the city defense department receive if they get injured during the mission?"
The Crown Crystal Man froze.
It hit the blind spot of his knowledge.
The city defense department only had Level 100 to 300 members with combat strength below Third Grade.
The Crown Crystal Man did not know their standard of compensation for casualties!
"Wait a moment, let me check…"
…
"The casualties of the city defense army are compensated, and resources are spent to save the lives of the injured.
They would be rewarded based on their performance.
The deceased will be given 36 months of salary, and their children will be raised to adulthood. They would be given bonus points for the college entrance examination. "
The Crown Crystal Man read out the relevant rules.
Jack lapsed into silence.
When he left, Uncle Owen had been treated and his life was not in danger.
"Is the treatment a little bad?"
Jack muttered casually.
Uncle Owen had an old injury to begin with, and now that it has worsened, it might not be easy for him in the future.
Besides, Jack indirectly caused Uncle Owen's injury.
He naturally wanted to do something.
The Crown Crystal Man heard Jack talking to himself and remembered his words.
Jack could not help Uncle Owen heal through the Crown Crystal Man.
If he did that, it would be easy to find Jack!
He still needed to advance! It was obviously not a wise choice to expose himself.
"I only have Grade B talent. I only revealed a little bit of my abilities and I was hunted down by First Grade Guardians."
"If I reveal myself now, I'm afraid even the Seventh Grade Guardians will be mobilized!"
Seventh Grade Guardian, a terrifying Level 800 existence. They possessed formidable combat strength enough to destroy a city by themselves!
If Jack encountered one of them now, he would definitely die!
"I still have 30,000 contribution points. It won't be a problem to heal Uncle Owen!"
When Jack had made up his mind, he excused himself and logged out from the Divine Realm again.
After he left, the Crown Crystal Man walked deeper into the Trading Mystic Realm.
There was a magnificent palace with three gigantic thrones at the end of the palace!
The thrones of three top powerhouses!
For the past hundred years, the top powerhouses had always protected Planet Aquamarine from the outer realm.
The Crown Crystal Man walked respectfully to a throne and repeated what he had said to Legion.
On the throne, a shadow loomed.
The Crown Crystal Man finished his report.
A dignified voice echoed in the palace.
"That's good news."
"The more Legion cares about Planet Aquamarine, the more important he is to us."
"The weather is getting hot. Let's give the city defense army a little more allowance."
"As you wish."
The Crown Crystal Man retreated.
The 'a little more' mentioned by the top powerhouses meant giving the entire city defense army an additional hundred million!
Jack's unintentional words were like a butterfly effect.
A tornado was created on the other side of the ocean!
The chain reaction of this storm was beyond everyone's imagination!
…
…
After logging out of the game, Jack did not go out.
At this moment, the residential area was packed to the brim with the city defense army. If he went out in the middle of the night, he would easily be regarded as a criminal.
The city defense army was searching every house. The bald Priest seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Jack pretended as if nothing had happened and waited until six o' clock to get up, wash up, and head out.
"Jack!"
He met Mike on the way. He was yawning, not in good spirits.
"I think something happened in the neighborhood last night. Did you hear about it?"
"Heard what?"
"It seems like someone reported the Dark Whisper Alliance anonymously. The commander was alerted and all the elites were deployed!"
Mike said it like it was his own experience.
"When we were eating this morning, my mom's eyes were all red. It scared me so much I thought…"
Mike didn't finish his sentence.
Owen had stabilized after the initial treatment. His broken arm was back to normal.
It was just his injuries from the curse before had worsened, and would require an astronomical medical fee to temporarily suppress his injuries.
Mike said unhappily.
"Say, he's already so old, yet he's still working so hard!"
After complaining for a while, Mike was obviously not in the mood to say anything more.
Jack understood how his best friend felt.
Anyone else would behave the same way.
The youth's thoughts were like the summer sky.
In the blink of an eye, the gloomy clouds would be swept away.
When they arrived at school, Mike calmed down and shared his experiences with Jack.
"I broke into a pyramid last night. Jack, I'm going to be rich!
"I have already gone through the Class Advancement and changed my occupation to a hidden occupation, Desert Warrior. There are many monsters and missions in the pyramid. When I come out, I will help you level up!"
Pyramids?
Desert Warrior?
At this moment, Jack remembered Mike's game ID: DogeBrothers.
Uh, well…
Would he really become the poor doge that needs to be spared?
As long as he is safe.
Following the announcement, the two of them entered the classroom.
"Next, we'll be reporting the morning news of the school."
"Last night, we received an anonymous report from an enthusiastic citizen that the city defense department had cracked a conspiracy in a certain district…"
"This morning, the Ministry of Finance revised the summer budget and proposed a plan to increase the budget based on the city defense department. It is estimated that from this month onwards, the city defense department's budget will increase by 360%…"
"The Ministry of Education is holding a press conference, claiming that it is necessary to build the city defense department's exclusive Guardian University. The fastest way to start the recruitment for the college entrance examination is…"
"At the same time, the Federation Medical Center has issued a plan to reduce the cost of medical care for the city defense department and provide higher-level services to the injured…"
"… with that, this is all we have for this morning's news. We'll see you tomorrow."
After hearing the morning news, the classroom fell into a momentary silence.
The students started discussing fervently.
"Heavens, is the city defense department so popular?!"
"Exclusive Guardian University of the city defense department? Will the entry score be a bit lower? After all, one wouldn't need to go to the outer realm, and would just go directly to the city defense department to work?"
"Mike, your father seems to be from the city defense department. Tell us if you have any news!"
"…"
People's joy and sorrows did not come together. Mike only felt they were noisy.
He sat in his seat, smiling foolishly. He didn't even notice the tears rolling into his mouth as he muttered,
"Jack, there is hope for my dad's injury!"
