Just as Xia Fei stepped out of the library, Qin Mang made a video-call to Ye Jingshan.

As always, Ye Jingshan appeared on that display screen with a look of reverence. “Master, are you looking for me?”

“Yes.” Qin Mang nodded slightly. “There are a few things I need you to do.”

Ye Jingshan was startled. It was very rare for his master to take approach him first for anything, much less make a request to him; this was truly unprecedented.

“Master, just instruct me whatever you wish, and Jingshan will obey them all.” Ye Jingshan lowered his head.

Qin Mang cleared his throat. “Since Xia Fei has returned, the reward for his discovery of complete ancient relics back then ought to be remunerated, right?”

Ye Jingshan’s face momentarily darkened. He never would have guessed that what his master wanted to discuss was actually Xia Fei and that he had personally made this call all for that young man’s sake. This realization did not sit well with him.

“Fine, I’ll report this matter thusly to the Union. As for your contribution in discovering completely intact ancient civilization remnants and relics on YZZ 7526, the Union has decided to reward you with ten percent of their total market value, as well as an additional 100,000 contribution points,” Ye Jingshan said. He was now in a hurry to get rid of himself this troublemaker Xia Fei, which was why he had skipped past the interrogation and went straight to allocating the latter rewards; he figured that there was no point in trying to probe the young man further; he could tell that Xia Fei had no intentions of revealing anything.

‘It’s only ten percent, but I guess that’s better than nothing,’ Xia Fei thought to himself.

“There was still that mantis carcass inside his spatial ring. Due to the fact that the space within a spatial ring was completely devoid of air, the carcass remained perfectly preserved. Xia Fei thought about it and decided not to take it out now; he would first see if there were other research institutions outside that would be willing to buy it for a high price. He was not about to let the Adjudicator Union profit off his labor like this.

“Everything within that research facility when converted into cash comes up to eighty billion star coins. Ten percent of that will be eight billion star coins, and the contribution points can be used on the Union’s item-exchange database at your discretion. Whether you wish to exchange all now or save them for the future is up to you.” Ye Jingshan rapidly rattled off.

“Eight billion star coins.” Xia Fei was stunned for quite a long time. He originally thought that the ten percent he would be getting was not much, but who knew that it would actually be as high as eight billion star coins?

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Xia Fei answered, “I’d like to redeem them immediately.”

All his equipment had pretty much been completely destroyed, and even his supplement supplies had been used up until he was nearly out. Right now, Xia Fei was essentially destitute, and since he was given this chance, he would of course be willing to replenish some of his necessities.

Without another word, Ye Jingshan accessed the item database, entered a password, and pulled out a screen. Panels upon panels of equipment and items appeared on it, leaving Xia Fei dumbfounded.

Xia Fei had looked through the internal item-exchange database quite a few times himself, but what had been on offer was not even a tenth as good as what was before his sight at this moment, with the grade of the items far outstripping those he had seen before.

‘What happened? Did the database of the training camp get expanded?’ Xia Fei wondered to himself. He was completely unaware that this was a B-tier database Ye Jingshan had given Xia Fei access to, and it did not belong to the camp but the entire Endaro Star Region’s Adjudicator Union branch.

The Heaven Execution Training Camp was only a subsidiary of the Union, so the items that they could exchange for were of course much fewer than what would be available to the entire Union. Besides, a B-tier database was leaps and bounds better than the database cadets could have access to in the internal database; therefore, there were plenty of high-grade items appearing on the screen that had usually been hidden deep in the Union warehouses.

Even Phantom could not help but exclaim in awe, “Not bad! Not bad at all! These items are all very decent in terms of grade. That’s why I say that the distinguished Adjudicator Union couldn’t possibly be just trash.”

Ye Jingshan purposely coughed a few times. “I’m going to leave now. You have thirty minutes to choose the items you need, so don’t dawdle.”

With that, Ye Jingshan marched off his office. Actually, he did not have any other business to attend to but merely did not wish to stay in the same room as Xia Fei.

“Thirty minutes?” Xia Fei muttered to himself. He immediately realized that there might be some chicanery behind this, but no matter the case might be, a chance was a chance. It was only the possibility that this chance might not come by again, which was why he was determined to find the most valuable item to exchange for.

His journey to the Black Abyss was about to begin, and any worker would need to sharpen their tools if they wished to do well; Xia Fei prioritized the need to acquire some good equipment right now, and given how his cultivation was no longer what it used to be, it was all the more important that he found some top-grade equipment that could further augment his capabilities.

“Should I buy a normal edition Windshade Mark IV combat suit since the one I originally own can’t be used anymore?” Xia Fei said this as he saw a similar combat suit to the one owned before appearing on the list, so he asked Phantom for his opinion.

“Don’t. Since you have access to even better products now, why settle for something less?” Phantom shook his head. “Let’s take a good look at everything that’s on offer first, find all the top-grade, and filter them out after.”

“Quick, don’t just stand there. Thirty minutes isn’t a lot of time. Hurry up and go through the pages,” Phantom excitedly urged.

The two of them acted as if they had been plunged into a thrilling battle, with only their eyes swiftly scanning through the screen in front of them, showing a solemn countenance to the task at hand.

…

Ye Jingshan stood outside the door and silently counted the time, not sure why he felt somewhat worried.

The B-tier database of the Union had several very valuable high-grade items, and Ye Jingshan was worried that Xia Fei would end up choosing one of these, which meant that he would really be suffering a loss here.

A B-tier database was prepared for those members who had made a significant contribution to the Adjudicator Union. Not only was there a great variety of items inside, even the price was lower than their market price. Ye Jingshan was not willing to let Xia Fei obtain these top-grade items from within, which was why he had pulled a stunt; he had the complete database of B-tier and below all opened up so that these top-grade items would be hidden in the tens of thousands of trash, making it that much more difficult for Xia Fei to pick and choose.

‘Xia Fei is only a cadet, so he should not know about these items. Besides, he only has 100,000 points on him; I doubt he’ll be willing to use it all just to buy one item,’ Ye Jingshan thought in an attempt to console himself.
