Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 162 Contribution
Spiritual Source Crystals and Physical Source Crystals are relatively inexpensive!
These words caused many people in the room to look rather strange.

Those are red spiritual source crystals and red physical source crystals!
The martial arts association has been restructured for over a year now. Last year, it allocated 3500 billion yuan in various funds, and this year that amount has increased to 6000 billion yuan.

The Association of Spiritual Powers is a bit higher; its funding this year has reached 11000 trillion.

That sounds like a lot.

but……

Taking the Martial Arts Association as an example, after deducting necessary personnel expenses, maintenance expenses, and R&D costs, less than half, or about 2500 billion, of the funds that can actually be used for the Martial Arts Association's procurement is available.

This 2500 billion should be divided equally among all the masters in the Federation...

If each person receives that amount, it would be only a few billion.

In reality, resources are often skewed towards key figures.

In other words, even if many masters hold positions in the association, the resources they can ultimately obtain from the martial arts association will not exceed 10 billion.

Including their extra income in the Misty Lands, the total comes to around 20 billion.

Venturing into the fog is a life-threatening endeavor.

Therefore, the red physique source crystal...

In particular, the red spiritual source crystal has surpassed the entire fortune of many master-level martial artists.

"I've looked at the Inheritance Crystal."

Ji Fuyou Road.

This skill...

He is very familiar.

"A top-tier red skill: Deflecting Force Field."

"Deflection field?"

He Qilin, Fengyulou, Xiao Jiuge, and the others' eyes lit up at the same time.

"Is that the protective force field that the cult leader Fengwo used?"

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "The requirements for using this technique are 30 points in physical strength and 31 points in spirit."

Once this request was revealed, the group became even more excited.

"A skill that meets both needs?! That's the pinnacle of skills!"

"Plus its practicality... this is a divine skill!"

"Only by staying in the game can you deal damage. I wouldn't trade such a god-tier skill for two top-tier skills."

Ji Fuyou was naturally aware of the power of this skill.

pity……

He has acquired this skill.

Therefore, he wasn't too excited about this skill that Fengyulou, Xiao Jiuge, He Qilin, and others coveted.

He was more interested in the bend than the skill itself.

"Take a look at this."

Ji Fuyou Road.

He Qilin, Fengyulou, Xiao Jiuge and the others' gazes fell on the curved corner in his hand.

After careful examination, everyone quickly realized what was going on.

"This treasure can store spiritual energy?"

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou said, "From what I understand, this bend allows any life form that leaves its spiritual energy inside to communicate with each other, no matter how far apart they are, even if they are in the mist."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Fengyulou and Xiao Jiuge, who had been wandering in the mist for years, realized something.

He Qilin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It can communicate between the inside and outside of the mist? For the many hunters who are essentially out of contact once they enter the mist, this is nothing short of a divine artifact."

"It's more than just a divine object; calling it a national treasure wouldn't be an exaggeration. With such a treasure, hunters venturing deep into the mist can immediately seek help from those around them if they encounter danger. How much risk would that reduce?! And how many lives could it save?!"

Feng Yulou said solemnly, "From last year to this year, the Federation has produced 44 Master-level martial artists, but has lost as many as 27 of them! This does not even include the martial artists lost in this trial! If those martial artists could send out distress signals in time when they encounter danger, so that people in the surrounding area could come to their aid... the casualties among Master-level martial artists would be reduced by at least half!"

Training a master-level martial artist would cost at least several hundred billion.

Reduce losses by half...

That's hundreds of billions in revenue!
Moreover, this is only the data for master-level martial artists.

If we also add the high-level mental energy users whose training cost is no less than that of a master martial artist...

The resources saved by this bend are probably close to a trillion!
Keep in mind that the federal government's military budget is only slightly over a trillion dollars!

This treasure can save the federal government almost a year's worth of funds each year; its value is...

Its potential is immeasurable!

"I finally understand why Captain Ji said that the value of Spirit Source Crystals and Physical Source Crystals is relatively low."

Feng Yulou took a deep breath: "Compared to this top-notch skill of bending angle and deflecting force field, that source crystal is really nothing."

Xiao Jiuge nodded in deep agreement, and then said, "The deflection field is better, but this curved horn of the Fertile Sect Master is obviously not suitable for personal use. It should be used by a group, and its true power can only be brought into play when it is in the hands of the top groups and forces."

He paused for a moment: "Ideally, it should be purchased and held by the Supreme Elders, or at the very least by the Association of Spiritual Powers, and everyone should be able to use it together."

He Qilin and Feng Yulou nodded.

"If used well, this bend is indeed a national treasure, which can increase the accumulation speed of the Federation Masters by several times."

He Qilin's expression turned slightly grave as he spoke: "The trial is over, but it doesn't seem completely over." He glanced at the crowd: "Judging from the information obtained from the Heavenly Ranking, this trial was merely a selection process, choosing 108 people to participate in the true Civilization Trial..."

Trial of Civilization!

These four words caused everyone's hearts to sink slightly.

"This Civilization Trial... we don't know what it is, but if the Fertile Race is also a civilization... we are very likely to become the first humans to come into contact with an alien civilization, and as competitors."

He Qilin said.

Although as the mist eroded the real world, everyone vaguely realized that the humans of Crimson Star would probably soon make contact with an alien civilization.

even……

To some extent, the undead and orcs represented by the skeletons can also be seen as a kind of alien civilization.

It's just that their civilization was not systematic and was not truly recognized by humankind.

But now, judging from the information revealed by the Heavenly Ranking...

A little over a year later, people will truly encounter, confront, and compete with these alien races who represent completely different civilizations...

Even though each of them is a master-level martial artist, standing at the forefront of the path of extraordinary evolution, they still have a sense of awe for the unknown future.

"Hasn't the trial of civilization already begun? Our victory over the fertile tribe is a victory in the trial of civilization."

At this moment, Gu Yin, who rarely spoke, said coldly, "If we can defeat these alien races once, we can naturally defeat them a second time!"

These words did allow everyone in the room to calm down a bit.

They were ultimately figures at the forefront of extraordinary evolution, possessing a temperament and will that were unmatched by ordinary people. Although contact with and competition with alien civilizations sounded unbelievable, they quickly adjusted their state of mind.

"That's right. We've achieved victory now, and a year from now, our strength will undoubtedly be even greater, and we'll definitely be able to achieve victory again!"

Fengyulou added, "Especially since we receive numerous treasures with each victory."

He looked toward the bend in the road.

If we could obtain this treasure before the trial, all the trial participants would communicate with each other and act together. Even sweeping through the Temple of Fertile wouldn't be a pipe dream.

At least……

It will not come at the terrible cost of thousands of hunters dying, more than ten high-level mental energy users and master-level martial artists perishing.

He Qilin turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "We won't calculate the contribution value of others. Just take our team as an example. Based on the increase in points, Captain Ji, you have a share of 45.5%. Therefore, the final benefit you can receive should also reach this figure."

He looked at the curved horn and the red inheritance crystal: "This inheritance crystal is probably worth two top-tier skills. If we measure it in monetary terms, 2000 billion wouldn't be an exaggeration! And this curved horn..."

He paused for a moment.

Everyone else's eyes were also drawn to this bend.

"Theoretically, even if the Federation offered 300 billion, 600 billion, 900 billion, or even 1 trillion, they would probably grit their teeth and buy such a national treasure! But... 600 billion, 900 billion, or 1 trillion are not important; the key is whether they can buy enough high-end resources, therefore..."

He Qilin said in a deep voice, "I think it's more appropriate to calculate it as 3000 million contribution points!"

3000 million contribution points!
One red physique source crystal costs 10!
One red spiritual source crystal is worth 100 million!
3000 million!
You can exchange it for a full 30 Red Spirit Crystals!
You can easily create one or two spiritual masters!
"can!"

"Reasonable!"

"This valuation is well-deserved."

Fengyulou, Xiao Jiuge, and Ji Fuyou all nodded slightly.

"The deflection field can also be included in the contribution value system! Estimated at 2000 million!"

Gu Yinbing said, "It's worth the price!"

Deflection field?

He Qilin glanced at Ji Fuyou.

He felt that Ji Fuyou should have chosen this skill first.

Not only him, but also Fengyulou and Xiao Jiuge felt that he would not miss such a divine skill.

Therefore, they had already tacitly agreed that the skill belonged to Ji Fuyou, and it didn't matter whether it was included in the contribution value system or not.

But after Gu Yinbing spoke, He Qilin still said, "That's fine too! As for the other two source crystals... they are clearly high-grade source crystals of the super-standard type, which can be counted as 165 million. In this way, our final income is 5165 million contribution points. According to the final contribution share, Captain Ji should receive 2350 million."

He glanced at Ji Fuyou: "You can take all three other spoils except for this bend! And you'll also receive 175 million as compensation."

As he spoke, he explained, "I deducted 10 units of the previous Body Source Crystal."

"Deflection Field, Physique 30, Spirit 31, the prerequisites are too high. Once I choose to exchange for this skill, I will not be able to obtain enough red source crystals to push my Spirit above 30 and enter the Master realm."

Ji Fuyou said, "Compared to choosing this inheritance crystal, I think it would be more appropriate to choose something else."

"something else?"

He Qilin was taken aback.

Feng Yulou, standing nearby, kindly reminded him, "Ji Fuyou, have you thought this through? Divine skills like the Deflection Field are often hard to come by, even if you try to exchange them for contribution points. If you don't exchange for this skill now, you might not have the chance to get it even if you accumulate 2000 million contribution points in the future."

He Qilin, however, had an idea.

"Are you worried... that possessing a treasure will bring trouble?"

Upon hearing this, both Fengyulou and Xiao Jiuge were taken aback.

His expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

but……

They glanced at the dozen or so other master-level martial artists and spiritual beings around them, including Shen Jun…

But then he fell silent.

They fought alongside Ji Fuyou, and because of this camaraderie, they could confidently guarantee that they would never attempt to deflect the force field.

But what about everyone else?
Who can guarantee they won't?
