Heroes' Prison

Chapter 310 - 304: Heroes Emerge

"What about the regional distribution?" Huang Yi asked again.

Wang Jin took a sip of soup and spoke at length, "At present, we have 571 Rare Class Holders distributed across more than 150 countries and regions worldwide, essentially three-quarters of the world’s countries have our Rare Class Holders. Among them, China has the most, with a total of 132 Rare Class Holders, roughly half in the north and half in the south, meaning that over 60 will head south to join Brother Lei’s Sun Guild, and another 60 will head north to join your Hero Guild."

Then, Thunder God took over, "Additionally, India is another region with a sizable share, with a total of 75 Rare Class Holders spread across India. They will create a branch power for us in India. With the capabilities of those 70-plus individuals, they can certainly create one of the top powers. Currently, no Guild in India has that many Rare Class Holders. The third is the United States, where we have 51 Rare Class Holders in our prison, and the Guilds they create can easily break into the top three. If managed well, they might even compete with the Pope’s Heaven’s Guild. As for Japan and Russia, each has over 30 Rare Class Holders. In short, we pretty much have manpower spread out in all the major countries of the world."

"The coverage of Rare Species Holders is even higher. Our Guild has over 4,000 Rare Species, covering over 90% of the countries and regions worldwide, with just a few pocket-sized countries as exceptions. In some countries, there are no Rare Class Holders, so a Rare Race can be considered one of the top players in that country, practically on par with Rare Class Holders," Overlord said.

"That’s not all." Thunder God revealed a smile of great authority, "In some of the more crucial countries, I’ve arranged for some of our brothers to infiltrate some of the Great Guilds, such as Heavenly Dao’s Dongying Guild, the Pope’s Heaven’s Guild, and so on. I’ve arranged for Rare Class Holders to join them, exactly the kind of talent they are craving and whom they’re focusing on nurturing. These scouts will be providing us with a constant stream of intelligence and, at the most critical moment, reveal themselves to deal a heavy blow to their vitality. To put it simply, once the national war starts and the continents are connected, it will be our rise. We’ll bloom everywhere and catch them off guard."

"However, there’s a line we mustn’t cross!" Huang Yi pursed his lips and said, "We can’t harm our brothers’ feelings. After all, they too have their homelands, and we shouldn’t make them act against their countries. Otherwise, it won’t sit well with them either."

"I’ve already considered this," Thunder God nodded, "If we can’t even do this, then we’re no different from the Federation."

Huang Yi took a bite of his meal and mused, "Now, thousands of Guilds have been established worldwide, with over a hundred on our continent alone. We’re at a stage where heroes emerge and heroes compete for supremacy. The situation on the continent is becoming increasingly complicated. With Dao Feng’s withdrawal, it’s bound to have a major impact on the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Hall of Famous Generals is also about to go public. Currently, my Hero Guild and your Sun Guild are considered to have the greatest potential for development. Should we go public next?"

If it were a small amount of money, Huang Yi wouldn’t lack it; he could simply ask Number 5, who controls many banks, and tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US Dollars wouldn’t be a problem and could be obtained anytime. But now that the organization has been greatly weakened and needs funds everywhere, Huang Yi also has to consider the organization. Moreover, to make the Guild expand rapidly and become one of the top powers in The Second World, it’s not just a matter of hundreds of billions of dollars. Only through financing and going public can a huge amount of capital be raised. Otherwise, it would be impossible to shake the World Federation.

"Yunfei, what do you think?" Thunder God turned to look at a bespectacled, scholarly-looking man beside him. He was Tang Yunfei, a financial tycoon before he was imprisoned, and he had always advocated that Huang Yi and Thunder God’s Guilds go public to accelerate expansion.

"Of course we should go public!" Tang Yunfei nodded, "Right now, Ah-Yi’s Guild is actually the most promising, being the world’s first to own a Sub-territory with major cities like Dragon City, and a very high asset value. This means it would be valued much higher. But going public is a double-edged sword, I think it’s better to let Brother Lei’s Sun Guild give it a try first. If the effect is decent, then let the Hero Guild go public. Brother Lei, you need to do well with the Sun Guild, so during financing, the evaluation will be high and raise more money."

"Alright!" Thunder God nodded, "I’m really short on funds right now, I want to develop but I can’t, just a few of us can’t raise so much capital. Financing could solve a big problem for us. Once we go public, countless amounts of money can be squandered, and we can use it however we want. We expand wildly, and develop rapidly. After all, it’s not our money, so it won’t hurt to spend. As long as the Guild becomes bigger and stronger, those shareholders won’t oppose us either."

At this moment, Huang Yi suddenly smiled at Thunder God, "Brother Lei, once you go online later, tell your mysterious boss that I’m about to downgrade and you can get another 5 million, which should relieve some of the financial strain."

Thunder God raised his brows and shook his head, "5 million is too little. I’ll talk to him, see if we can increase it a few times. Your ranking and value have been rising, so without extra money, how could we take you down?"

...

The dinner was finished in a cheerful atmosphere. Now, everyone in Rose Prison was free from the constraints of Rare Quests and could officially make a big push. For someone like Overlord, who was already up to the mainstream level of players, it was time to exert massive combat power.

Rose Prison, like a wind-up machine, began to surge forward at a breakneck speed.

Huang Yi returned to his cell and logged on again.

Upon logging in, the first thing to do, of course, was to activate the 7th Stage of Attack Spirit, increasing his Attack Power by 8%, while his Level dropped to 72.

Huang Yi changed his job to become a violent Executioner and was wielding powerful Legendary Equipment. His Attack Power was already over 40,000, capable of instantaneously breaking 100,000 in certain extreme situations. Therefore, the 8% increase from the 7th Stage of War Soul was a very substantial enhancement, a noticeable improvement.

Huang Yi set his sights on breaking the world record on the 60th floor; it had been a long time since he’d broken a world record!

Currently, the world record for the 60th floor was still held by Heavenly Dao at 36 minutes and 21 seconds, while Huang Yi’s previous best record was just over 37 minutes. Now, with the 7th Stage of War Soul boosting his Attack Power by 8%, he indeed had a chance to break this world record.

Next, Huang Yi used a variety of magic items to raise his strength to its peak state. And since it was night, his attributes enjoy an additional 20% increase, making it the moment when he was the strongest.

Then, he immediately teleported to the 60th floor of the Tower of Pantheons.

Upon entering the secret realm, Huang Yi rushed forward at the highest speed!

He didn’t bother clearing the minor monsters on the way—if he wanted to break the world record, he couldn’t afford to waste a speck of time on them. The quickest method was to head straight for the Boss!

Huang Yi, like a string of shadows, dashed past these minor monsters, which all stirred and clawed after him in pursuit. Huang Yi’s health and defense were quite good, so the attacks from the monsters didn’t cause much damage. Moreover, after his job change, being attacked would increase his rage, turning the pursuit of these minor monsters into a boost for his anger.

Soon, Huang Yi arrived in front of the first Boss, the Swordsman!

"Are you here to challenge me?" At this moment, the Swordsman, seeing Huang Yi, uttered his first line.

"Swift Judgement!" Huang Yi used the new skill he learned at level 65, boosting his attack speed by 50% for 20 seconds!

"Pursuit!" Right after, Huang Yi stunned the Boss!

"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi used his strongest single-attack skill, and with his incredibly high attack speed, his broadaxes swung like fan blades, smashing down on the Boss in turn.

After the two-second dizzy duration, the Swordsman Boss exploded into a shower of flesh, his Essence of Life absorbed by Huang Yi, restoring 20% of his health points, and even dropped a piece of blue gear!

It was just two seconds; the Boss had barely uttered one line before he was killed! Such was the current Huang Yi, whose attack power was so formidable that he could effortlessly crush the first Boss in just two seconds!

Immediately afterward, Huang Yi didn’t even pick up the equipment on the ground, charging straight to the second Boss.

...

Just like that, relying on his overpowering attack power, Huang Yi swiftly crushed one Boss after another, and not even the final 5th Boss took much effort to overcome. Most of the time spent on this record-breaking journey was used for traveling. Some individuals stronger than Huang Yi might still be unable to break this record, because they would be slower on the road and waste more time.

System Prompt: Congratulations, you have cleared the 60th floor of the Tower of Pantheons in a solo room! Total time: 35 minutes, 49 seconds, setting a new world record. You will receive a generous reward!

This clear by Huang Yi advanced the world record by several dozen seconds, a moderate margin.

Next, right in front of him in the void, a gold-gleaming treasure box suddenly appeared, notably the generous reward for breaking the world record.

Huang Yi immediately stepped forward, opening the treasure box with practiced ease and peered inside.

Inside the box lay three items, the same number as before.

The first item was a green glow, representing experience points. Huang Yi reached out to touch this sphere of light, gaining a 50% increase in experience points.

The second item was a Grade B Energy Stone, capable of adding 5000 points to one’s energy value. (To be continued.
