Chapter 2473 Charge
The hall fell into a silence that was somewhat eerie.
The remaining people looked at each other, bewildered.
In fact, many hadn’t even seen how Fang Heng had made his move before the old man had already been dealt with.
It was only after hearing the Overseer in the fanged mask that they realized Fang Heng had even completely obliterated the old man’s soul.
It was a disaster!
Zheng Zheyu, who had been quite arrogant moments ago, became nervous.
It seemed he had stirred up a formidable presence this time.
In fact, they usually did their homework on newcomers.
They knew who was safe to provoke and who was not.
But today, they had made a mistake.
Fang Heng slowly scanned each person remaining in the hall, “Here’s some good news: I’m now in charge of the 62nd floor. The new rule is that you must turn over all your points to me, or I’ll let you go this time.”
The expressions of everyone instantly changed.
All of them?!
Wasn’t that too greedy?
Even though the entire 62nd floor had been controlled by Elder Shen before, he was merely a representative of the higher-ups, carrying out orders from above.
When newcomers first arrived on the 62nd level, they were all required to pay points, starting at 50%. As their strength gradually increased, the percentage required would decrease over time.
But there was no one like Fang Heng, who demanded a full 100% from everyone without exception!
Zheng Zheyu took a deep breath and said, “Fang Bai, Elder Shen was just a representative. You don’t even know who you’ve provoked…”
“Enough talk. What, don’t want to follow the rules? No problem, feel free to come over and have a go if you like.”
Fang Heng chuckled to himself and looked at the crowd, his expression growing colder.
He hadn’t planned to stay here long.
Sustainability with his ‘Greed’?
Of course, it was all about exploiting everything to the fullest!
Take as much as he could!
All of them!
“That’s fine. Anyone who disagrees can come forward. If everyone disagrees, then let’s handle it all together.”
The crowd fell silent.
Feeling the intense battle will emanating from Fang Heng, no one dared to step forward.
“Simone, go collect the points.”
“Alright.”
Simone responded in a deep voice, walked over to Zheng Zheyu, and extended the points card.
Zheng Zheyu’s face stiffened.
After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly handed over the points.
In just a short while, after making the rounds, Simone had accumulated 480,000 points.
A huge haul!
Fang Heng was quite pleased.
Indeed, plundering was the quickest way to wealth.
“Hey, halfling, take us to our rooms.”
The halfling nodded and said, “Of course, I’ll arrange that immediately.”
…
Fang Heng and Simone’s rooms were arranged side by side.
Upon returning to his room, Fang Heng immediately locked the door.
He wondered how Bai Mu was faring in the White Abyss world.
Given their abilities, Bai Mu should be planning an attack on ‘Jealousy’ by now.
According to the plan, Bai Mu would be trying to find the specific locations where ‘Jealousy’ had sealed other demonic seeds.
As Fang Heng contemplated this…
He suddenly realized something and frowned slightly.
Since the White Abyss Arena was established to select and seal demonic seeds from various alien worlds, could it be that there were records in the White Abyss of all past successful assessments and transactions with the ‘Jealousy’ demonic seed?
If backups of these records could be found, tracing them might lead to discovering the locations where ‘Jealousy’ had hidden and sealed demonic seeds in various worlds.
Fang Heng quickly felt that this guess was very likely.
In fact, Bai Mu might already be trying to figure out how to handle the White Abyss Arena.
He needed to contact Bai Mu immediately.
With that thought, Fang Heng closed his eyes and logged offline.
The white magic array spun beneath his feet.
When he opened his eyes again, Fang Heng was back in the guest room of the Library of the Myriad Worlds, and he tried calling Bai Mu once more.
Unfortunately, the phone number remained unreachable.
It made sense, as Bai Mu was likely still deep in the game.
Fang Heng had no choice but to contact Old Black and ask him to relay the message to Bai Mu. He needed Old Black to inform Bai Mu that he had entered the White Abyss Arena and was using the in-game identity of Fang Bai.
Bai Mu was a team player and had entered the game two days earlier than Fang Heng.
Given Fang Heng’s thoughts, Bai Mu’s capabilities in the game should be superior to his.
Therefore, it would be best if Bai Mu could find a way to contact him.
Old Black, upon hearing Fang Heng’s explanation, seemed a bit puzzled.
What’s this about? He couldn’t get in touch with Bai Mu?
Was he preparing to go solo again?
After hearing what Fang Heng said, he agreed to contact Bai Mu immediately and leave him a message as soon as there was news.
…
Fang Heng and Old Black quickly discussed some details and then hurriedly logged back into the game.
With time still on his side, Fang Heng went back to browsing through the pad.
He first checked the leaderboard rankings for the S-level matches.
The problem was that, according to his current level, advancing to SS-level as a competitor would require winning at least 30 consecutive matches, even if he always faced the strongest opponents. Given the varying waiting times for each match, this advancement wouldn’t be completed in just a day or two.
As for challenging higher-level opponents, it was allowed under the rules of the Tower of the White Abyss, but it required mutual consent. The challenged party had no incentive to accept, so it was unlikely they would agree.
As for the idea of each person coming over to provoke him…
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
It seemed a bit far-fetched.
Additionally, some items could be exchanged for arena points.
To his surprise, there were quite a few items available for exchange.
According to the tier classification of competitors,
Most of the items available at the S-level were beneath his interest, but the mid-tier academic skill experience books among them were quite valuable.
Some skills that couldn’t be leveled up using zombie clones could be easily advanced by purchasing these experience books.
Moving up to the SS-level, high-tier academic skill experience books were available for sale.
Finally, when he checked the SS-level items, Fang Heng’s eyes widened.
He found it!
Dimensional core fragments!
There were fragments of dimensional cores available for direct exchange!
Although they were not as potent as complete dimensional cores, they were still valuable!
A few dozen fragments could potentially drain a small world.
Every bit counts.
He couldn’t pass this up.
Fang Heng’s eyes glinted with greed.
Unfortunately, the fragments could only be redeemed after advancing to SS-level. Moreover, they were expensive.
It would likely take a week or two of grinding to collect enough points for a decent amount of fragments.
The efficiency was too low to be practical at the moment, so he had to let it go.
As Fang Heng was reviewing the information, there was a knock on the door.
Simone’s voice came through, “Mr. Fang? Are you resting?”
“The door isn’t locked, come in. What’s up?”
Simone entered the room and saw Fang Heng fiddling with the pad on the bed. He nodded and said, “Mr. Fang, I have good news. I just discovered that we can use points to access the library for research. I’m planning to go there now. Would you like to join me?”
“Now?” Fang Heng glanced at the time and frowned. “The next scheduled match is about to start.”
“Yeah,” Simone replied, his concern for his world’s safety evident. “I came here to help my world find a solution to the disaster. One match is not as important as the disaster itself.”
“Indeed.”
Fang Heng was also curious about the disaster.
“Let’s go. I’ll come with you.”
