Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

"Foreign Gray Realm? Which country?"

Wang Zhifan was curious as soon as he heard, with a hint of realization.

Because when he first heard the news, he was puzzled about how a high-value Gray Realm could be found within Xia Country for the two brothers to scoop up. Turns out, their eyes were already set abroad. Not surprising for a family with a big business background.

"There are many! The closest is Myanmar to the south of Xia Country, then India a bit further, and those more backward island nations at sea, as well as the far-off regions of Africa...

They're all underdeveloped areas, and there's no dedicated personnel to handle Gray Realms there. Many places are extensively covered by solidified Gray Realms, so the difficulty for players to explore is quite high. The potential number of high-value Gray Realms inside is considerable..."

Chen Can explained, pointing out various places of differing distances, causing Wang Zhifan to frown.

"Ah Can, are you sure no foreign players have rushed to handle these places? If there really are high-level Gray Realms, how could it possibly be others from distant countries coming to pick the fruit? If it's not those foreign scammers at it again, deliberately tricking people to go get slaughtered..."

As someone who has lived two lifetimes, Wang Zhifan has always understood the principle that good things rarely fall to ordinary people. So whenever he hears of any great advantage somewhere, his first instinct is to suspect a trap, which is almost a habitual way of thinking.

However, Chen Can is also an adult and naturally considered this aspect, immediately responding:

"Fan, you're right, those places do have scams specifically targeting players, and there are quite a few! Foreign countries are inherently chaotic, and scams and theft are mild compared to the chaos after the advent of Gray Realms and players, which is unlike anything back home...

But I know some people over there, my family also has some business operations there. Recently, through various channels, we've understood the real situation clearly. There truly exist many Gray Realms that are untreated or avoided, representing a huge batch of potential resources!

Gray Realms in our country have a management bureau, making it difficult to intervene, but those places are different!

As long as you agree, Fan, I can arrange private planes to head over, find some reliable locals to act as guides, and definitely scrape some foreign Gray Realm interests down!

And removing Gray Realms is considered a good thing anyway. Even if short-term gains are modest, it can be seen as charitable, while honing our skills in fighting monsters..."

He explained quite a bit, meaning it's indeed dangerous over there with considerable risks, but also undeniably substantial potential benefits, depending on whether Wang Zhifan is willing to help.

As long as the advanced warrior they trust, Wang Zhifan, is willing to assist, everyone stands to gain, and they proactively suggested him taking the larger share while they take the smaller one.

After all, without a trustworthy expert, clearing Gray Realms is just talk without any realistic execution.

"I say, you two brothers don't seem like people lacking equipment. If you want any gear, you can just use your money to buy it. Why suddenly mull over such matters? Is the lifestyle of the rich too boring?"

By this point in the conversation, Wang Zhifan had a pretty good idea of the situation. His only lingering doubt was about the brothers' enthusiasm for this foreign Gray Realm clearing plan.

Thinking darker, he slightly suspected the brothers of setting him up, aiming to lure him into a foreign preset trap, scheming for his various high-tier equipment.

Of course, this possibility only theoretically exists. Based on Wang Zhifan's impression of them, they shouldn't be so malicious.

Moreover, if they really intended to do it, they needn't bother with all these twists and turns, just pick an opportunity to lead people in an attack, finish it off, and say he perished in a mission without anyone having the capability or motivation to uncover the truth?

Regarding this aspect, Chen Can was equally unrestrained in explaining, involving the player guild they recently formed.

"Fan, the reason we want you to lead us into foreign Gray Realms for profits is mainly for two reasons.

First is that we want to upgrade our equipment tier.

Really good equipment is too scarce on the market. Though our family is somewhat wealthy, we can't compare to those truly influential families, rare good stuff is simply out of our reach, even willing to pay won't get us, we have to think of other ways.

Like in the Gray Realm, Fan, you bring out some good stuff with us, there's always a time when something's not useful to you, but beneficial to us brothers, then we can offer money for it.

Next is the guild my brother and I built; recently, membership is ever-growing, putting more strain on providing equipment benefits. Solely relying on the market isn't a long-term plan, we need to find a supply channel.

Finally, there's also actual combat training. My brother and I teamed up for several missions recently and faced quite thrilling scenarios, so we thought of training additionally outside missions to ensure we can perform in missions, though this aspect is merely an addition..."

After hearing Chen Can out, Wang Zhifan sensed his honesty, indeed speaking the truth without overstating things like this plan's for your good, straightforwardly expressing their intention to cling to him and haul in some good gear from foreign Gray Realms, with clear expectations and purposes.

Wang Zhifan wasn't too opposed to this notion either; people who don't use their resources are fools. Since the brothers know him, naturally, they should fully utilize his unique value, as long as the value exchange is fair, it's no problem. So he pondered and finally responded:

"Your plan, if properly arranged, seems somewhat interesting; it's not that I can't join... But personally, my schedule is always quite full; spare time won't be much, specially going abroad with you to raid Gray Realms isn't realistic...

How about this, first try to identify a batch of high potential Gray Realm locations, then schedule a time with me to handle them together... I have specific gear that allows me to support you across space, no need to stay with you constantly; just call me when needed."

On the phone, Chen Can seemed slightly excited after hearing this, quickly giving a definite response:

"Sure, Fan! Then we'll first enlist trustworthy people to gather Gray Realm intel abroad. We'll then set a time to handle them together, and perhaps have the first batch by tomorrow, starting with the closest place, Myanmar..."

"Alright, once you're well-prepared, remember to inform me in advance; if unable to reach me, leave a message, so I can make arrangements for my schedule."

Wang Zhifan and Chen Can concluded their conversation with a cooperative intention, so once there's news from their side, he needs to prepare to contribute.

"When was the last time I raided a Gray Realm... Seems to be when I acquired the Sea God Meditation Ring?

Remember back then, I cleared Gray Realms quite quickly, using the power of ice and Thunder Dragon Fury for fast runs, later feeling the returns were far lesser than missions, thus abandoning it...

Nowadays, my strength is infinitely greater than then; I wonder if any surprises await me inside high-grade Gray Realms."

Thinking he might need to frequently enter Gray Realms soon, Wang Zhifan's heart was only slightly stirred, not particularly excited.

If not for the Chen brothers' scheming, he wouldn't even consider this aspect at all.

Since daily routines, including cultivation, already make him feel overwhelmed; with special advantages, he isn't worried about lacking income from missions, lacking any drive to seek bothersome tasks for himself.

Afterward, he continued his scheduled journey to the Purgatory World to further his Space Law studies.

Earlier in the mission's Land of the Dead Soul, he was engaged in the same practice, yet with no progress whatsoever, unable to shake the Space Law of the Dead Soul even slightly.

This firmly reinforced his cultivation strategy, deciding to invest more effort into the grand canyon where Space Law is weak in the Purgatory World.
