"Welcome, Professor Zhong."
Fang Xian personally opened the door for Elder Zhong as a sign of respect.
Zhong Shenxiu smiled and nodded, then went into the room.
Eighteen beautiful women were not enough to stir his emotions, but when he saw the Azure Dragon, he was still filled with lingering fear.
Zhong Shenxiu slowly sat down, and Xue Nai immediately poured tea for him.
"Mr. Zhong, please have some tea."
"Thanks."
Fang Xian sat opposite Zhong Lao, waiting for him to take a sip of tea before smiling slightly and getting straight to the point.
"Mr. Zhong, what exactly is this Ancient Scroll you mentioned on the phone?"
Zhong Shenxiu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup.
He wasn't one to make a big fuss; he simply took out a scroll from his storage ring.
The scroll is made of an ancient sheepskin material with a slight yellowish tinge.
The scroll is secured at both ends by exquisite wooden shafts, on which mysterious patterns are carved.
Fang Xian took the scroll and felt a strange energy.
He gently unrolled the scroll, the paper making a soft rustling sound.
There is a strange pattern on it, rendered in gold, with smooth and beautiful strokes.
At first glance, it looks like the character "升" (shēng, meaning "rise").
Fang Xian clicks to view information:
[Ascension Scroll: After use, you will be transported to a monster dungeon. Defeating the monster will grant you a massive amount of experience.]
The monster's level is 210, and its number is unknown.
This scroll is for single use only; please use it with care.
Fang Xian's eyes lit up after reading the introduction.
The "Ascension Scroll" is perfect for him.
Fang Xian rolled up the "Ascension Scroll," not in a hurry to use it at the moment.
As Mr. Zhong had previously stated, the gift was intended for Fang Xian.
Fang Xian wasn't one to be pretentious, and he didn't want to say too many polite things, otherwise it would seem a bit hypocritical.
"Mr. Zhong, please thank the commander for me."
Mr. Zhong smiled slightly and waved his hand.
He took out eight more "teleportation commands" and handed them to Fang Xian.
"These four maps with the character '朱' written on them are the coordinates of '朱雀' (Vermilion Bird), and the rest are the coordinates of '玄武' (Black Tortoise).
Fang Xian accepted the "teleportation command" and thanked him again.
"Thanks."
We should reciprocate every courtesy, and Fang Xian should not neglect the country.
"Mr. Zhong, I will never forget the country's kindness to me."
"Now I'd like to give back to the country as well."
Zhong Shenxiu was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Fang Xian to return the favor.
Although Fang Xian is incredibly powerful, he is still just a child who has only recently awakened his powers, and it is impossible for him to have any real foundation.
If the amount provided is inadequate, the country won't be able to use it.
Giving too much would be a waste of Fang Xian's own resources.
"Fang Xian, it's good that you have the intention. Keep the good stuff for yourself."
Fang Xian saw through Zhong Shenxiu's thoughts and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Elder Zhong, this is for the country, not for you. I hope you will accept it on behalf of the country."
Seeing Fang Xian's stubbornness, Zhong Shenxiu said nothing more and silently extended his right hand, which was wearing a "storage ring".
Fang Xian extended his right hand, and the two "storage rings" touched.
He slowly selected items and quantities to trade into Zhong Shenxiu's "storage ring".
Zhong Shenxiu thought the transaction would be completed quickly, but more than 10 seconds had already passed.
He looked at the serious Fang Xian with surprise, and then checked the "storage ring" with suspicion.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
He almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
"This...this..."
One thousand kilograms of "white tiger meat"?
Was it the meat of the "Four Sacred Beasts" he knew—a level 200 White Tiger?
This... is the meat of a "divine beast"!
Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt his mouth go dry and continued to check the second column of the transaction.
Fifty thousand "Skill Upgrade Pills"?
"Skill Upgrade Pills" can help Awakened Ones quickly max out their "Skill Proficiency," increasing their leveling efficiency.
Although the "Skill Upgrade Pill" isn't particularly important, there are just too many of them.
A full 50,000 pills—how much less practice time could that save for so many people?
Why does Fang Xian have so many "Skill Upgrade Pills"?
For some small countries, this is equivalent to being richer than a country.
Zhong Shenxiu unconsciously swallowed and continued to check the third column of the transaction.
50,000 Advanced Experience Pills, 50,000 Intermediate Experience Pills, and 50,000 Beginner Experience Pills.
While experience pills are not very useful for high-level awakened individuals, they can greatly reduce the leveling-up process for newly awakened individuals.
With so many "experience pills," many people can win at the starting line.
This terrifying number is simply appalling.
Zhong Shenxiu could hardly believe what the fourth item in the transaction list was.
He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked over nervously.
60,000 Double EXP Cards!!!
How is that possible?
While "Double EXP Cards" are not as valuable as "Five EXP Cards," they are still extremely rare "items."
What does 60,000 "Double Experience Cards" mean?
Even the Dragon Kingdom doesn't have that many stocks!
If 60,000 "double experience cards" were distributed, the overall strength of the Dragon Kingdom could be raised to another level.
How can there be so many?
Why are there so many Fang Xian?
Is there anything else in the fifth column of the transaction section?
Zhong Shenxiu's breathing became rapid. He mentally prepared himself and clicked to view.
30,000 "Experience Dungeon Summoning Tickets"!
He's really going crazy!
Back then, the government only gave Fang Xian props in the tens or hundreds of dollars.
Now, 30,000 to 50,000 is being returned to the country!
How could anyone not be excited by such a "ten-thousand-fold return"?
Thirty thousand "Experience Dungeon Summoning Tickets" combined with fifty thousand "Double Experience Cards" can directly enable the Dragon Kingdom's overall combat power to surpass that of the United States.
How did Fang Xian acquire so many national strategic resources?
Zhong Shenxiu's face flushed, and he hurriedly took out more than 10 "quick-acting heart-saving pills" from his "storage ring" and put them under his tongue to swallow, which slightly calmed his agitated mood.
Fortunately, he doesn't have high blood pressure, otherwise his blood pressure would be off the charts.
After calming himself down a bit, he accidentally noticed that there was still something in the sixth column of the transaction list.
Zhong Shenxiu was completely numb.
He took a quick-acting heart medicine into his mouth and carefully examined it.
It was actually
—Five thousand bottles of "Attribute Enhancement Agents"!
How is this possible?!
Even if you combine the world's major powers, you still can't come up with five thousand bottles of "attribute-enhancing agents".
The fact that Fang Xian can give so many resources to the country can only prove one thing: these are all leftovers from Fang Xian's use, which is why there are surplus resources to trade with the country.
This is... absolutely outrageous!
He used to think Fang Xian was incredibly wealthy, but now he realized how foolish that idea was.
Fang Xian is clearly
—Richer than the entire Earth!
