Upon hearing this, Chen Xing also felt troubled. The communication in this world was overly developed.

Once every Spirit Master binds with the Spirit System, It was like having a computer in their minds. Any news could spread instantly. All they needed to do was connect to the Spirit System and browse the web.

Although no one knew where the Spirit System came from exactly. However, humans had created many systems to assist this mysterious entity based on the Spirit System.

Thus, the existence of the Weapon Spirit Association came into being. They were the ones who provided internet access to the Spirit System. And also the ones responsible for the Power Ranking.

Chen Xing brought up the Power Ranking and saw that his own power had been updated!

【 B-Rank, First Place: Chen Xing, Power Level: 573,000 】

“Wait, why is it only 573,000!?”

“Didn’t you say it was 705,000 before?”

【 The Spirit System didn’t include the bonus I gave you. It only calculated the 500% attribute bonus that Zero brings to you. 】

As he spoke, a panel appeared in front of Chen Xing:

【 Strength Bonus: +500% +120% (San’er’s bonus) Speed Bonus: +500% +120%, Reaction Bonus: +500% +135% 】

The estimated power value on the panel is 705,000!

“Oh… alright. This way, I can hide my true strength a bit.”

What Chen Xing didn’t know was that although he considered this power value to be not much, but the internet was already exploding!

After the Power Ranking was updated, someone immediately came out to expose him.

Just two days ago, he had 165,000, and now it jumped directly to 573,000! It was simply outrageous! Leveling up was faster than riding a rocket!

“I’m full!” Little Zero happily got off the chair and climbed onto Chen Xing’s leg. “Huff, huff~”

Chen Xing gently embraced her and teased, “Seems like you’ve eaten a lot, and gained a lot of weight~”

“Um… hmph!” Zero pouted her lips upon hearing that and was about to get off Chen Xing’s leg. He actually said she had gained weight!

“Where do you think you’re going!” Chen Xing laughed and held her tightly, not letting her escape.

“I want to get down! Hmph…”

Chen Xing kissed her puffed-up cheek and chuckled, “Just kidding! You’re not heavy at all!”

Zero hmphed again but stopped struggling. She was easily appeased like this…

“By the way, San’er, do you have any good ways to quickly earn Spirit Points? I feel like even the 10 billion Spirit Points awarded to the champion of the World Confrontation Tournament may not be enough now!”

【To earn Spirit Points, relying solely on completing tasks is not enough. There are many valuable things in the Forbidden Zones that can be exchanged for a large number of Spirit Points, but it’s still not sufficient.】

【The next time Zero levels up, it will cost 5 billion Spirit Points. I estimate that the time after that may require several hundred billion, and the time after that may be in the trillions.】

“Wow…”

Chen Xing and Zero glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

“Who can afford that!”

【That’s why we need to find another way.】

“What do you mean?”

【Commerce!】

“Commerce? But in commercial trade, don’t they use Crystal Coins?”

【Not necessarily. As long as your goods are good enough, you can set them up for Spirit Points payment. Remember the previous Safe Zone? Even without Crystal Coins, you could still use Spirit Points for payment.】

【Oh, by the way! You borrowed 50,000 Spirit Points from me last time and haven’t repaid yet!】

“…I’ll pay you back, here you go. You’re so stingy!”

【Clear debts between friends!】

After saying that, San’er deducted 100,000 from Chen Xing’s Spirit Points balance. Double repayment.

“Go on.”

【 Trade in this world can be divided into two categories: Spirit User-Spirit Master trade and ordinary people trade. 】

【 If you have something that can make Spirit Users or Spirit Masters compete to buy, then you can earn Spirit Points! 】

“But… what do I have?”

【Upgrade the Business Technology Module, requires 10 billion Spirit Points.】

“Another 10 billion!?”

【Tsk… you still don’t understand how absurd the Business Technology Module is.】

【With it, you can easily earn 10 billion Spirit Points every day!】

【I’ve seen that module, and the design blueprints inside it are even ahead of this world’s technological level by 100 years.】

【If you take out anything casually, it will be sought after. For example, a pair of shoes with a speed boost of 2.5%. It directly boosts attributes! Who wouldn’t want it? Although the boost may not be much, you might not appreciate it…】

【But for many people, a 2.5% boost is already a lot.】

Chen Xing nodded. Indeed, compared to Zero’s boost, 2.5% didn’t mean much to him. Moreover, many of San’er’s tasks involved giving attributes.

However, many people didn’t have enough Spirit Points to upgrade their Spirit Users. The attribute boost remained unchanged, so they needed that slight improvement.

Even so, Chen Xing couldn’t be happy for the moment: “So, where do I get these 10 billion now?”

【I have another good suggestion.】

“What is it?”

【Start a live stream!】

“???”

【Start a live stream to attract fans. When the fans are happy, they’ll send you gifts. Set the gifts to be paid with Spirit Points.】

“Forget it, I don’t have that kind of talent. Why would I start a live stream?”

【Just stream your love life. You clearly don’t go online, quickly go online and see your fans. They’re starving for you.】

After saying that, a panel appeared.

【Zero’s Fan Forum: Number of fans: 1.03 million】

【Chen Xing’s Fan Forum: Number of fans: 150,000】

【These are the fans you two gained from displaying affection in public last time. Your little fans ask every day where you two have gone. Aren’t you going to reply?】

【By the way, looking at the difference in the number of fans, I think you should reflect on yourself.】

Chen Xing shrugged, “Reply? Impossible, I won’t do it.”

He didn’t mind, but he didn’t want Zero to be exposed to the public all the time. Having stayed on Earth, he knew very well how troublesome it could be to be a celebrity. He didn’t want her to get involved in those troubles.

【If you don’t agree, then how will you get those 10 billion Spirit Points?】

【Zero needs 5 billion for leveling up, the Technology Module requires 10 billion and I also need 10 billion. If you get 10 billion from winning the championship prize money, so who will you prioritize for leveling up?】

【Look at your 1.5 million fans now. If each one gives you one Spirit Point, you’ll have over 1.5 million every day. It’s that simple!】

【Right, when the time comes, you can sell your looks a bit, wear women’s clothing, and we’ve prepared everything for you. Won’t you become a sensation?】

“That’s impossible.”

【…】

San’er understood Chen Xing’s personality the best.

He does things based on his mood, and if he doesn’t want to do something, no one can force him.

Except… Zero!

【Ahem… Little Zero?】

“Hmm… What’s wrong?”

【Quickly persuade your husband. Look at his stubbornness. Hurry, or he’ll end up penniless sooner or later.】

“Hmm…” Deep down, Zero didn’t want to do it either, but she also didn’t want to see Chen Xing under so much pressure.

Currently, they needed a total of 25 billion Spirit Points.

What kind of concept was that?

A few years ago, because of Zero, the Association had suffered a massive loss. Including the initial employment fee of 5 billion, the 800 million for upgrades, and the triple compensation, they had lost a total of 15.24 billion Spirit Points, which greatly depleted their resources!

Not to mention 25 billion!?

She knew that Chen Xing was working so hard to earn Spirit Points for her sake. But she also didn’t want to see him under such tremendous pressure.

After making up her mind, she looked at him and said: “Chen Xing… are you shy?”

“Uh… It’s not that, I’m just worried about you…”

“I’ll be fine… For you… I’m willing to do it…”
