Jinghai City, Treasure Pavilion Company.

Ding Xuezhu was in the conference room, receiving a member of the higher-ups sent from headquarters.

This higher-up was named Shen Zhe, and he appeared to be in his fifties.

The purpose of his visit was, naturally, to express gratitude to Senior Dragon King for previous matters.

Beep beep~

Suddenly, Ding Xuezhu's communication device beeped a few times.

She quickly opened it, and her delicate face lit up with joy as she said excitedly, "Senior Dragon King's cousin, Mr. Zhan Feng, has responded to us and wants to meet."

"Great, where is the meeting location? Let's head over quickly." Shen Zhe was also very excited, stood up hastily, and asked.

"It's in a restaurant nearby, not far from here."

Soon, the two of them arrived at the restaurant.

After entering, they asked a waiter and found out that Zhan Feng was in a private room on the third floor.

So, the two of them went upstairs, found the private room, and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A slightly hoarse voice came from inside.

With a creak~

they opened the door and went in, only to see a tall, slender man in a black robe sitting inside. He was about 1.9 meters tall, with dark skin, a lean build, fingers like hooks, and a pair of eerie green horns on his head.

He was clearly not human.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Zhan Feng?" Shen Zhe asked respectfully.

"That's me." Lu Xun said hoarsely, "I've heard everything from the Dragon King cousin. Please have a seat, the two of you, make yourselves comfortable."

He politely made a gesture of "please".

'Cousin?'

Ding Xuezhu was momentarily taken aback, her curiosity piqued. Could it be that Senior Dragon King had other cousins?

If Mr. Zhan Feng had only one cousin, then the prefix "cousin" seemed somewhat redundant; simply calling him cousin would suffice.

Of course, she didn't ask further.

It's quite impolite to pry into someone else's family matters.

Especially since Senior Dragon King is such an unfathomably powerful Saint King.

One should not ask what shouldn't be asked.

"Then we shall impose on you."

Shen Zhe said with a smile.

The two took their seats at the dining table.

Soon, the food and drinks were served, and everyone ate and talked.

"To be honest, headquarters sent me to specially thank Senior Dragon King." Shen Zhe said very sincerely, "He has really helped our Treasure Pavilion greatly, not only saving the lives of hundreds of our exploration crew members but also killing countless pirates, personally taking down four Saint Kings of the Blood Corpse Pirates, avenging our fallen comrades, and allowing us to let out a good breath of relief. Senior Dragon King is truly a hero!"

"Indeed, I must admit to that as well. My cousin has been unparalleled in justice and courage since he was young." Lu Xun shamelessly praised himself, "He is a chivalrous hero of the age."

After saying that, he raised his glass, looking solemnly at the two of them, "Come, this glass is for my cousin! Cheers."

Seeing this, Shen Zhe and Ding Xuezhu hurriedly raised their glasses and said in unison:

"To Senior Dragon King!"

Then they all drank it in one go.

After the meal.

Shen Zhe clapped his hands, and suddenly a staff member from Treasure Pavilion entered the room and respectfully handed him a small box.

Shen Zhe accepted the box, opened it, and displayed its contents to Lu Xun—a pair of mysterious cards, one black and one white.

"This is a token of gratitude from headquarters for Senior Dragon King. The black card contains 15 billion Human Federation credits, and the white card is our Treasure Pavilion's Venerable Level VIP card. Please make sure to deliver it to Senior Dragon King." He said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He thought the company really has deep pockets.

Just as a token of appreciation, they gifted 15 billion.

The Ultimate Card is also invaluable. Those possessing it can enjoy a 40% discount at all stores operated by Treasure Pavilion.

Antique shops, auction houses, or other various industries, all are applicable.

"Then I shall accept that on my cousin's behalf."

Lu Xun accepted without hesitation, nodding, "Rest assured, I will deliver it to him."

"Thank you very much, then I shall trouble you, Mr. Zhan Feng… Oh, right, there is one more thing." Shen Zhe coughed, looking serious, "Headquarters has another matter that they hope Mr. Zhan Feng can convey to Senior Dragon King."

"Please go ahead."

"Here's the situation, our company has a new project, and it's an even bigger super project than the Naga Race's underwater relic." Shen Zhe explained, "We plan to search the Southern Wilderness for the mysterious 'Lost Kingdom'. We already have substantial clues and believe there is a high probability of finding it. However, the Southern Wilderness is notoriously hazardous, universally recognized as a life-forbidden zone. To ensure the exploration team's safety, we need combat personnel for escort."

"Lost Kingdom?" Lu Xun was momentarily confused before realizing, "Treasure Pavilion Headquarters wants to hire my cousin to protect the exploration team?"

"Yes." He nodded, confirming, "The company plans to recruit 5~8 Saint King level experts and hopes Senior Dragon King will join. As for salary and benefits, you can rest assured that they will be satisfactory."

Dragon King's combat power is well-known across regions, an extraordinary talent in battle, far beyond ordinary Saint Kings in comparison.

He is certainly a very reliable recruitment target.

"When does the exploration team plan to set out?" Lu Xun asked.

"Preparations aren't complete yet, so the exact time hasn't been decided, but it should be in 7~9 months." Shen Zhe replied.

"Alright, I'll relay your message to my cousin." He responded immediately, without hesitation.

He even wanted to agree on behalf of his "cousin".

He is so fond of relics and ruins.

"Lost Kingdom", just hearing the name feels extraordinary.

The prestige is immense, each word radiates a strong Dutch vibe.

He would even go if he had to pay out of pocket!

Treasure Pavilion indeed specializes in this field, with extensive channels, as they can repeatedly discover traces of ancient city ruins with such ease.

They must have spent a significant amount of time, money, and manpower to gather so much intelligence.

**************

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Jinghai City, District 45, southeast direction, residential area.

A very tall, old building stood, covering an area of about 100,000 square meters.

This residence was out of place with the surrounding architecture.

Because it was just too big!

The house stands fifty meters high, but it only has one floor.

The doors and windows are ridiculously huge.

This is the place that 0c found for the "Dragon King".

The original owner of the house was a giant, and not just any kind, but a Mountain Giant that Lu Xun had never analyzed before.

He moved to the Human Federation and lived there for a few years, but ultimately couldn't get used to life there, so he left.

Because of his massive size, it was very inconvenient for him to move around in the human world, even taking a walk was difficult, for fear of stepping on someone.

Before leaving, the Mountain Giant put the house up for sale.

But no one ever bought it.

Although there are some immigrants in Jinghai City as tall as five or six meters, nothing as big as dozens of meters.

This house is too large and couldn't be sold.

Luckily, it was just perfect for the "Dragon King".

So 0c directly took it over.

Unfortunately, the Mountain Giant left Jinghai City two years ago and never returned, even leaving the property to be managed by a friend.

Otherwise, Lu Xun might have gained a new branch of giant bloodline.

At this moment, a thirty-meter-high Dragon-winged Giant stands at the door of the house.

He seems to be waiting for someone.

Not long after, a car sped over, and after stopping, the door opened.

A middle-aged man with the body of an Elephant-headed Person got out. He was wearing a magic robe, holding a magic staff, and had a magic element sensing ring on his wrist.

It was Mage Quint from the Mercenary Empire!

"Hahaha, Dragon King my brother, we meet again!" He looked up at the giant and then laughed out loud.

"I've been expecting you for some time, please come in." Lu Xun's voice boomed as he invited Quint into the house.

Once in the living room, the two caught up briefly before getting down to business.

"I came to the Human Federation to see an old friend and brought along the King's token of gratitude for you." Quint said with a smile.

Saying that he turned to the subordinate beside him.

The subordinate understood and immediately stepped forward, taking out a very large and heavy suitcase.

Inside, a thousand shining Black Gold Bars were neatly stacked, each one extremely hefty and mesmerizingly lustrous.

Black Gold valued at ten billion Federation currency!

"This is a token of appreciation from His Majesty the King; please accept it." Quint said, "We the Mercenary Empire accepted 130 billion from Treasure Pavilion to send troops to the Naga Race for a mission. But it was you who saved the exploration team and killed the four Saint Kings of the Pirate Group, earning the top credit. His Majesty pledges that if Dragon King my brother wishes to join our Mercenary Empire, the entire commission of 130 billion will be yours."

After all, the Mercenary Empire needs to make a living too.

The battle took a heavy toll on the Divine Dawn Fleet, with several Sky Mother Ships crashing.

Though Lu Xun's contribution was great, he was not part of the Mercenary Empire.

He was ultimately an outsider.

The fact that they were offering a hundred billion as a token of gratitude was quite commendable.

Such is the way of people's affairs.

"As for joining, I'd rather not. I prefer a life of freedom and not too fond of being restrained," Lu Xun shook his head, politely declining.

"Haha, I knew you'd say that." Quint shrugged, grinning, "Rest assured, this won't affect the friendship between you and me."

"That's good to hear." Lu Xun said, "Once I wrap up my current affairs, I'll visit the Mercenary Empire. Don't forget to introduce me to your Emperor-level elder."

"No problem, no problem." Quint readily nodded.

He seemed to have urgent matters to attend to.

So, after chatting for another ten or so minutes, he stood up to bid farewell:

"Dragon King my brother, the token of appreciation has been delivered. I need to catch a flight. I'll visit again to drink with you another day."

"Alright, I wish you a safe journey."

**************

With that, matters on both sides were all settled.

Soon, through 0c's arrangements, the money was transferred into Lu Xun's original body.

150 billion in cash from Treasure Pavilion and 100 billion from the Mercenary Empire.

Two unexpected windfalls.

Moreover, those spoils of war were also handled by 0c, liquidated and laundered, eventually amounting to 270 billion Federation currency, deposited into Lu Xun's account.

His savings reached a terrifying amount of over 520 billion!

While it doesn't yet qualify him as a trillionaire, he's not far off.

With money in hand, Lu Xun plans to visit the school tomorrow to find classmate Wei'Er and connect with master craftsmen from the Goblin Race and Dwarf Race.

Preparing to upgrade the Truth Stick to an Emperor-level Divine Weapon.

Weapons are indeed very important.

Owning a handy Divine Weapon can greatly enhance Lu Xun's strength.

To such an extent that the increase rivals that of a "Feathered Transformation" Seed Burst Skill.

This is what it means to be a Top Up Warrior!

In the Human Federation, "pay-to-win" has long become a social norm.

Modified humans, genetic potions, individual mechas, heavy weapons... all of it is tech and savvy expertise.

Throw real money at it, get stronger immediately, with instant results.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun has evolved into the Ultimate Life Form, and physically, there's nothing much left to pay for.

The only thing left to top up on is weapons!

He decides to use 520 billion to custom-build an astonishingly powerful Wolf Fang Club.

Upon reaching a certain level, his vision has also broadened.

It's just yellow and white objects, he's not the least bit distressed.

For him, converting money into combat power is what truly holds meaning.

Besides, Lu Xun will never lack money in this lifetime.

If worse comes to worst, he can always let 0c rob a few rich bigwigs—and there's no shortage of aristocratic families with as much money as they desire.

In the entire Jinghai City, whether it's the Human Federation's financial systems or the banks' security systems, it's all managed by 0c.

Embezzling money from the inside isn't hard at all, is it?
