Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Baiyi restored the perspective of the City Lord’s Mansion’s backyard, his eyes full of contemplation, as a vast amount of knowledge emerged in his mind, continuously sifting through it.

Finally, some knowledge appeared.

It was about the methods of utilizing the Source of the World.

He now had forty ounces of the Source of the World, roughly four hundred milliliters, and combined with skill points, it should be enough.

The Source of the World contains almost all the world’s rules, and it is the best material for filling in rules.

If the Source of the World is used to assist other materials, allowing the soul to integrate into the world and attempt to give birth to consciousness.

Then, many experiments and various attempts would be required.

The only thing that gave Baiyi a little confidence was that much of alchemy was interconnected.

Baiyi only needed to continuously invest skill points into Transformation Science and Potion Making, which had even a slight relationship, and even that slight connection could lead to understanding.

Just about to get up to go to the Knowledge Hall to look up some knowledge, Baiyi suddenly received a message he almost overlooked.

Zero: [The Sea Race and Star Messenger requested to meet with Mr. Sabo, saying the agreed trade time has passed by a day.]

Baiyi frowned.

Sabo had always managed the business, and now that Sabo was no longer there, these matters seemed to suddenly be left unattended.

Moreover, Sabo was the finance officer for the four cities, and the other three cities seemed unable to rapidly develop without him....

He rubbed his temples, somewhat troubled.

Sabo helped him three times in battles.

Without those three times, perhaps he would have already died.

And those three times were also the main reason for Sabo’s slumber; otherwise, given Sabo’s vast resources and two godly inheritances, he shouldn’t need to slumber to plunder the Evil God.

After some thought, Baiyi’s spiritual power slightly fluctuated, and a middle-aged man about fifty years old, standing at 1.6 meters tall, slightly obese, appeared before him.

The man was startled at first and then quickly lowered his head, trembling and saying, "City... City Lord, do you have any instructions?"

"Sabo will no longer be the finance officer. Can you take over?"

Baiyi asked directly, getting straight to the point.

This man’s name was Gailt. Sabo had never replaced him, and once when Baiyi sought out Sabo, Sabo mentioned that Gailt was very good at business.

That’s why Baiyi had some impression of this Silver Lower Tier individual.

Having someone who could take over as the finance officer of Dongwu City was crucial; the other three cities were not within Baiyi’s scope of concern.

He would only manage the development of Dongwu City, leaving everything else to the council.

The current legislators existed for this purpose only.

Gailt was stunned, his eyes widening, full of surprise, shock, and intense... greed.

His mind raced quickly, and without any hesitation, he responded softly, "I can, but I won’t do as well as Mr. Sabo; I might even fall short."

Gailt was well aware that in front of a powerful entity like Baiyi, any lies, bravado, or even concealment were useless; sincerity was his only chance.

"Then go ahead. You will handle the trade with the Sea Race and Stars. The appointment letter will be issued online. You may go."

"I will not disappoint your expectations!"

Gailt’s tone was hard to conceal his excitement. He slowly retreated three steps, turned, and jogged out, radiating a strong sense of joy.

Baiyi watched his back for a while, had Zero send the appointment letter and news of Sabo’s resignation to the council, and walked towards the Knowledge Hall.

He could clearly see the new finance officer’s negative traits, such as greed.

But these traits were considered acceptable by Baiyi.

Greed leads to motivation; if he can control his greed like Sabo, only taking what he is entitled to, then the greedier a person is, the greater their potential.

Furthermore, Baiyi could easily read these people’s thoughts, hoping he wouldn’t have to recruit a new finance officer again...

The next task was to study how to integrate that Pure Soul into the Demon Realm.

Entering the Knowledge Hall, Baiyi began searching for information on the soul, the Source of the World, and rules.

The materials here almost encompassed all the inheritances of Dawn and Stars, except for familial inheritances, but that was quite vast already.

Glancing at the players, he estimated that they would return in about a year.

The trailers were already out, along with detailed updates, and just as Baiyi anticipated, the panel’s authority over this world was increasing, as was the input of power.

However, this had little to do with Baiyi; he couldn’t change anything at this point, nor did he know if this change was good or bad for both worlds.

But it was certain that this change was moving in a positive direction for him at this stage.

And that was sufficient.

But...

Baiyi looked at the update without restricting the number of players, feeling a bit silent.

There shouldn’t be a big issue; the Dawn Continent wasn’t cleared yet, leaving enough space to accommodate these tens of millions of players.

However, places like the Celestial City and Capital City might require stronger restrictions.

But leaving it to Zero to arrange.

It was worth noting that Guard Brigade hadn’t been broadcasting for a long time, Baiyi recalled Guard Brigade’s repeated questions in the Divine Showcase and smiled without paying it any more heed.

-----------------

On Blue Star, Celestial Dynasty, Shanghai.

A gathering of top players had just concluded.

This was a private gathering, but the attendees were all heavyweights, at least among players.

The unanimously recognized top player on the Sun Server: Edoma.

The top genius player on the Star Server: Unos.

Along with Guard Brigade, Demacia, Xiahou Fuxing, and Flowers of the Other Shore, among others, totaling over thirty top players.

These individuals hailed from all over, belonging to the pinnacle players of [Dawn Ascension].

During this Guard Brigade-hosted gathering, everyone indulged thoroughly.

However, only six remained in the end, with the top on the Sun Server, Edoma, having returned to the United States.

Leaving just the most familiar and best-playing individuals.

Guard Brigade pushed the partially disabled Unos, with Demacia and others following behind.

The expressions of the six behind were curious, while the expressions of the two in front were solemn.

Unos slightly tilted his head, meeting Guard Brigade’s gaze, his eyes filled with inquiry about seemingly hidden matters.

Guard Brigade looked behind, raised five fingers, clenched a fist, then raised one finger and shook it.

Unos pondered, realizing Guard Brigade indicated that five were trustworthy, while one was not too familiar.

He pondered a bit, then softly said, "It’s okay. Even if this gets out, no one would believe it."

"What’s going on? Why so secretive?" Demacia couldn’t help but ask, "If you keep playing riddles, I’ll beat you."

The five next to him had some anticipation in their eyes, clearly agreeing with Demacia’s suggestion.

Guard Brigade smiled: "Follow me."

He said no more, leading everyone to a newly built elevator shaft, descending three floors underground.

As a top streamer in multiple games, Guard Brigade was very wealthy, and the basement was vast.

Everything inside widened the eyes of the elite players.

"Th-this.. you two..." Demacia’s eyes widened, taking two steps forward to touch Guard Brigade’s head, but it avoided it.

The others also stared wide-eyed at Guard Brigade, bearing expressions of [You’ve gone dumb playing games?].

"I’m not crazy."

Guard Brigade was somewhat helpless, pointing to the altar-like arrangement behind him, indicating the almost one-to-one replica summoning array symbol, with some stubbornness in his eyes: "That’s not just a game, I’m convinced of it."

Unos shared that stubborn look. He took out a remote control from his pocket.

He pressed it.

Vroom vroom vroom~

A buzzing sound reminiscent of an engine arose.

A thing that would seem incredible to Blue Star People slowly flew out of a corner.

It flew very slowly, shakily, finally plopping down to the ground, rolling away.

Demacia’s eyes widened. He ran over.

Picking up the spherical metallic object, as soon as he tried to stand, he felt a weight on his back. Xiahou Fuxing and five other players followed closely.

Staring intently at the baseball-like metal item.

"Worker Bee!!!"

"How did it fly? There’s no propeller, no auxiliary magnetic device..."

"Could it be..."

They exclaimed, turning to the two youths.

Unos spread his hands, speaking in fairly fluent Celestial Dynasty language: "Unfortunately, Blue Star lacks magic power, and I can’t inscribe the Alchemy Array text, yet it still flew."

Guard Brigade looked at the five, pausing: "That world... is real. I need your help to find it, enter it."
