Everyone had thought that the first reward would be a bit more.
500,000 origin coins?
One million origin coins?
No one had thought there would be a reward of over 10 million origin coins.
Which trading company would be so idle as to offer tens of millions as a reward to others?
“Am I hearing correctly?” In the hall of an academy, an elder in white robes frowned, standing in front of a light screen.
The words on the light screen were still flashing.
But the number was somewhat unbelievable.
“Ten billion origin coins. Who can be so generous?”
“I’m guessing it’s fake. Perhaps there was an error in the data during the transmission of information. One million is possible.”
Some light screens in major cities had people speaking with confidence.
“10 billion? Is the Alliance of Refining Masters not planning to hold back this time?” In the hall of a city, an elder with a G.o.d-level badge of armor frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
Was the Alliance of Refining Masters, which used to be so stingy, changing its
“Perhaps it’s because of the pressure from those void cities that the AAIliance of Refining Masters had to make a move?” A divine-level puppet master whispered softly in front of the light screen.
In front of the light screens in those cities, many people frowned, while others sneered.
“Ten billion. Is the alliance going to empty its coffers this time?” “How can those stubborn old men in the Alliance be so generous?”
Some people knew the reasons behind this.
These people were the large city factions that had bid for the Microscopic Eye back then. Many of them had signed contracts with the Gold-Gathering Trading Company, so they knew who had taken out the money.
“To invest directly 10 billion in an academy of unknown whereabouts, Master Han Muye of the Jujin Trading House truly has a bold spirit.” In front of a light screen in a major city, an elder in a blue robe nodded slightly.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Mountain Language Refining Academy, in front of the light screen, everyone was stunned.
Previously, their academy had submitted a recent report on various artifact refinement innovations.
It was because their dean had a good relationship with a certain divine-level refiner in the Alliance. At the invitation of that divine-level powerhouse, their academy had issued an innovation task among the disciples, allowing them to partic.i.p.ate in an innovative compet.i.tion.
Regarding the compet.i.tion results, the academy promised that whatever rewards the Alliance promised at the end of the year would be given to the winning disciples.
so—
Ten billion!
Who would have thought that the alliance would give them 10 billion!
Was there really 10 billion?
“Dean, am I seeing things?”
A black-robed old man rubbed his eyes and said softly.
The others nodded.
It couldn’t be true. Their Mountain Language Refining Masters Academy was not a famous academy. Even if all their a.s.sets were combined, they might not amount to 10 billion.
Although there were three divine-level refiners presiding, most of the time they didn’t bother with the affairs of the academy.
Would such an academy be eligible to receive 10 billion origin coins?
“It can’t be wrong…” There was a deep look in the dean’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “This time, the Alliance must be up to something big.”
Making a big move and then taking out 10 billion to win people’s hearts?
Wouldn’t their Mountain Language Refining Masters Academy become a typical example of that?
“Buzz!”
A light sound, and the dean looked at another light screen.
Above it, a series of numbers were flashing.
“It’s in!”
“The reward is actually directly deposited!”
In the hall, everyone looked at the numbers on the light screen in confusion. For a moment, they were unsure of what to do.
It was really 10 billion origin coins!
Directly deposited into the academy’s account.
“Inform the disciples who partic.i.p.ated in the innovation compet.i.tion and distribute the Alliance rewards.” The dean fell silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed.
Give all 10 billion to those ranked in the compet.i.tion?
That’s 10 billion origin coins!
“Dean, don’t we keep some?” An elder with a white beard looked at the series of numbers somewhat unwillingly.
That’s real money, 10 billion.
“Don’t keep any. If the Alliance can give us 10 billion, we’ll spend it all.
“Keeping this money in our hands might not be a good thing.”
The dean shook his head and said softly, “Who knows what the Alliance will make us do next.’
His words made everyone in the hall look solemn and nod.
A moment later, the partic.i.p.ating disciples of the Mountain Language Refining Masters Academy gathered with expectant expressions.
He heard that a reward was about to be given out.
“Zhang Cheng, you’re ranked ninth in the compet.i.tion. You can get at least 100,000 origin coins, right? How are you going to spend it?” A female cultivator in a green robe looked at the tall artifact refinement disciple beside her and asked softly.
They all wore the badges of level- six refiners on their chests.
In previous compet.i.tions like this, apart from the first place receiving nearly a million origin coins reward, everyone else barely got anything.
Many honors were just useless pieces of paper.
“With 100,000 origin coins, I’ll buy spiritual materials for you.” The young man named Zhang Cheng turned his head, his face showing a fond expression.
His words made the female cultivator beside him blush.
“Hmph, you’re from the countryside after all. You’re even interested in 100,000 origin coins.” Not far away, a young man holding a Battle Armor snorted.
“l can earn 100,000 origin coins just by casually crafting a piece of armor.” The youth wore a badge of a level-seven refiner on his chest.
“Let’s go. Only those country b.u.mpkins care about the rewards of the Alliance.’
“Hehe, however much the academy gets rewarded, it’s all meaningless, and they still have to dip into their own pockets to buy spirit materials. How foolish.’
The disciples who had been in the academy for a long time knew that compet.i.tions in the academy were thankless tasks.
Many of them looked disdainfully at the partic.i.p.ating disciples who came eagerly to receive their awards..
