Chapter 60: Group Mall, the Identity of the Final Trial of Humanity ()

There weren't many messages in the chat group.

Although they often chatted and blew hot air, today, talkative people like Asuna seemed to have private matters.

Those who didn't talk much or liked to lurk, like Ais or Aizen, naturally wouldn't show their heads.

It wasn't until Lin Que’s group announcement rang out that the chat group became active again.

[Group member 'Sea King' has defeated the five-digit community 'Perseus'. World Reputation increased by 10 points, rewarded with 1 million group points.]

Fan Fan Fan Fan Maxing: "?"

Avenger: "?"

Furniture City Expert: "?"

Thief Cat: "1 million points!"

Sword Princess: "So many."

Honya: "Looking at my own points, which are only in the four digits, I shed tears of envy."

Kaguya-sama: "Damn it! Is this the gap in world levels? The points I've worked so hard to grind aren't even a fraction of Lin Que's!"

After joining the chat group, she had been using points to strengthen herself.

With the influence of the Nangong family, she worked hard to continuously improve her status, successfully grinding over 200 points of World Reputation.

But the world she was in was just an ordinary daily-life world.

One point of World Reputation was only worth 4 points, making her the genuine bottom of the group.

Two hundred points of World Reputation only amounted to eight or nine hundred points, pitifully little.

Honya: "Speaking of which, Lin Que said a while ago he was doing something. Was that what he meant?"

Furniture City Expert: "A five-digit community—what level does that rank in Administrator Lin's world?"

Fan Fan Maren: "I have an impression of this. Mr. Lin said Little Garden is divided by outer gates, from one-digit to seven-digit. Five-digit should be mid-to-low level."

Hair Gel Hand: "It's not that simple. To obtain World Reputation, you must stir up a certain amount of waves in that world."

Hair Gel Hand: "If it were just mid-to-low, it shouldn't be enough to gain 10 points of World Reputation in a world where one point of World Reputation can earn 100,000 points."

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "In other words, that defeated Perseus isn't just some ordinary five-digit community?"

Hair Gel Hand: "That's about right."

Speaking of this, Aizen had a further understanding of Lin Que’s strength.

To grind World Reputation in a world, one must at least have power or influence comparable to the top tier of that world.

And Lin Que had said before that the community he was currently in was a small one waiting to be rebuilt, still in development.

Since he didn't rely on influence to win, he naturally relied on his own strength.

[Notification: Total group member points detected to have exceeded one million. Chat group level increased, unlocking new function: Group Mall.]

Honya: "Eh? A new function unlocked."

Thief Cat: "Unlocked when total points exceed one million... emmm, I think I only contributed a share of 10,000 points."

A large part of that was obtained after Lin Que persuaded her to take a high-level position in the World Government, earning points through World Reputation.

Kaguya-sama: "You have a lot; my share is only a little over 2,000 points." ===== CHAPTER 117 =====

Fan Fan Maren: "I have about five or six thousand."

Honya: "Eh? Why are your points suddenly so high? Am I the only one who hasn't ground World Reputation yet?!"

Furniture City Expert: "I haven't either."

For some reason, his world had an inexplicably high level.

One point of World Reputation could be exchanged for 1,500 points, and Cheng Long, who considered himself just an ordinary person, didn't dare to act rashly.

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "I haven't either."

Avenger: "I haven't either."

Hair Gel Hand: "I haven't either."

Looking at his inventory of tens of thousands of points, Aizen silently typed +1.

Hair Gel Hand: "Actually, there's no need to discuss this. Administrator Lin's points alone have already exceeded one million."

Sea King: "That's right! I'm enough on my own!"

Sea King: "You guys don't need to keep comparing; just envy my points!"

Honya: "Damn rich dog!"

Avenger: "Damn rich dog!"

Kaguya-sama: "Damn rich dog!"

Furniture City Expert: "Ahem, everyone calm down. Let's check out the newly unlocked function first."

Honya: "Nothing to see. I went in to check as soon as it unlocked; I can't afford anything..."

Kaguya-sama: "Indeed, the cheap things aren't needed, and the things needed aren't cheap."

Sea King: "@All Members, the Administrator's friendly loan service is now open~!"

Sea King: "With a point inventory of up to a million, you can take what you need. You only need to pay back double the points within a month. Feel free to come to me for a loan~! (Laugh)"

Fan Fan Maren: "?"

Furniture City Expert: "Isn't this interest rate a bit high?"

Kaguya-sama: "More than a bit high—a monthly interest rate of 100%! Even loan sharks aren't as black-hearted as you!"

Honya: "Friendly loan (x), capitalist exploitation (√)."

Avenger: "Whoever borrows is a fool."

Sword Princess: "Not borrowing."

Facing Lin Que’s lack of sincerity, which was clearly just to show off his points, the chat group once again launched a wave of criticism.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Que opened the newly unlocked Group Mall function and looked at the specific introduction.

[Group Mall: Unlocks the sale of all items corresponding to the world the group member belongs to.]

[Note: When World Reputation from other worlds reaches 300/700/1000 points respectively, the first stage/second stage/complete version of that world's mall can be unlocked.]

A thoughtful look appeared on Lin Que’s face: "So the unlocked mall differs depending on the world."

For him, this was a good thing.

As a super-large world, the Little Garden world was definitely the top-tier world.

Unlocking the Little Garden world's mall was clearly much more profitable than unlocking others.

Skipping the introduction page, Lin Que clicked into the mall, where three options appeared.

They were the Little Garden world mall, the One Piece world mall, and the Demon Slayer world mall.

Lin Que didn't even glance at the latter two, skipping directly to the first one.

The next moment, a very conspicuous item caught his attention.
