Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Peng added: "For example, you could establish an institution that builds a welfare warehouse in every city of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom. Our main accounts can donate equipment, and secondary accounts, when meeting conditions, can receive equipment; thus even if they don't know each other, they can achieve circulation through the system. Of course, it would be best to set the withdrawn equipment as bound and limit the quantity that can be taken, to prevent selfish individuals from reselling it."

Xiao Feng slightly nodded: "Better yet, we could set up a contribution list; each time you successfully help a low-level account you earn some points, and the person with the most points each month can come to me to claim a main artifact, thereby encouraging everyone to assist low-level accounts."

Translation: "Xiao Feng slightly nodded: 'Simply set up a contribution list as well; each successful help of a low-level account earns some points, and whoever has the most points each month can come to me to claim the main divine artifact, thereby stimulating everyone's enthusiasm to assist low-level accounts.'"
