Chapter 1854 - 1853: S-Rank, Golden General!

"Hey, the gate we were defending was breached, and the Life Tower was destroyed; it dropped to ’Level 1 Frenzy’."

Wan Shi spoke with a grief-stricken face.

"Oh? Didn’t I give you money?"

Qin Feng questioned, puzzled.

Previously, he gave them two billion; it should have been a piece of cake.

"Sigh..."

Yin Shou added bitterly from the side, "That money wasn’t easy to come by. We were trying to save some, suppress a wave, but in the end... we were defeated."

"..."

Qin Feng was at a loss for words, this group truly... each of them could be considered a big shot outside, yet now they’ve become petty? They are nothing like people who can handle great matters.

At that moment, Ling, who was on the side absorbing the Purple Crystal Stone’s aura, slowly opened his eyes, with a mix of disdain and a hint of pride, said, "Hmph! This is the outcome of your choice to follow him. Now, I’ve already defended the second wave of the ’Level 5 Tide.’ Just watch me win with eyes wide open!"

"..."

Wan Shi and the others looked extremely troubled.

Especially Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon, they looked at Wan Shi with eyes full of resentment, wishing to devour him. If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have betrayed Ling, and now Ling is far ahead of them.

"In this world, having just Spirit Stones is far from enough!" Ling boasted, saying, "This world is like an endless abyss; no matter how many Spirit Stones you have, they will be absorbed completely. You have eight billion Spirit Stones, right? Hmph, do you really think those eight billion Spirit Stones make you invincible? Before long, you’ll spend them all, and then it’ll depend on talent. Do you... have talent?"

"..."

The more he spoke, the more Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon blamed Wan Shi.

Wan Shi was also quite helpless.

Just then.

Above the Purple Crystal Stone, a sharp-eyed transparent figure suddenly appeared, measuring three meters tall!

This was indeed one of Taichu Immortal King’s Twelve Heavenly Gods, the Servant God!

Ling immediately showed a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

Wan Shi and the others felt a pang in their hearts, dumbfoundedly saying, "It can’t be..."

They knew that whenever a battle ended and the Servant God appeared, someone’s performance must have reached an S rating. From the start until now, Young Master Ling had earned two A ratings in the gate defense battle, while the others had none.

However, those two A ratings were achieved during a relatively easy "Level 1 Frenzy," rewarding him with two "Generals"—essentially, people more powerful than ordinary soldiers.

So much time had passed, and the Servant God appeared again. It was obvious that Ling’s performance must have been exceptional!

"Greetings, Lord Servant God!"

Young Master Ling immediately kowtowed and bowed.

Wan Shi, Yin Shou, and the others bowed as well.

When Ding Lan and Shuang’er were about to bow, Qin Feng and Ghost Lady stopped them.

He and Ghost Lady were not ones to kneel casually for anyone.

"Hmph! Idiots..."

While kneeling, Ling caught sight of Qin Feng and the others not bowing and internally mocked them.

In any world, social skills are the most crucial shortcut to success.

The person is the Heavenly God, albeit just a soul now, but once was revered and proud. Not bowing before them is bound to cause resentment; later, will your days go well? Even if there are benefits, you won’t get them. What a poor sense!

"Servant God, your appearance today, does it signify something?"

Ling’s eyes sparkled like stars.

Defending the second wave of the "Level 5 Tide" was tough, but still successful. Could it be a reward for this?

Heh heh!

Let them witness my power, let Wan Shi and Yin Shou regret it! Maybe even entice Ghost Lady to betray Qin Feng...

Excited, the Servant God spoke, "In this round of defense, one individual’s performance was exceptionally outstanding, earning an S rating!"

"S rating?!!!"

Ling’s eyes filled with larger stars, nearly drooling.

An A rating rewarded a "General," so an S rating must be even more impressive, right??

Wonderful!!

Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon, stunned by the mention of an S rating, looked at Wan Shi as if they were out for blood, wanting to break him into pieces.

Now it seems better to have followed Ling...

"What is the reward then?"

Ling excitedly asked.

The Servant God waved a hand, and suddenly, a general in golden armor, three meters tall, appeared before everyone.

"Golden General?!!"

Everyone’s eyes widened, shining brightly.

The generals Ling received as rewards before were Bronze Generals, twenty times the strength of ordinary soldiers.

Now.

Qin Feng’s Golden General, judging from its power aura, seemed a hundred times stronger than ordinary soldiers!!

"Too, too good..."

Ling was already so excited he could hardly speak coherently.

With this Golden General, they could hold off another wave of enemy attacks. If performed well, another "S" rating could be earned, leading to another Golden General reward, and they could repeat this cycle. Soon, he would break through to "Level 6 Tide," getting closer to victory, hahaha...

Just then, while thinking.

At this moment.

The Golden General took steps forward, looked at Qin Feng, then knelt on one knee, "Greetings, my lord!"

"What?!!"

Everyone looked perplexed.

Ling hurriedly shouted, "General, you’ve knelt to the wrong person; you’re supposed to be mine!"

The Golden General seemed not to hear, still kneeling before Qin Feng.

Then the Servant God said again, "In the future, may you all perform well like the newly joined Qin Feng; the better the performance, the more I will assist you! Good luck!"

With that, the Servant God turned transparent and vanished above the Purple Crystal Stone.

"..."

The surroundings suddenly went silent, with everyone’s gaze fixed on Qin Feng.

Only then did they realize that the Servant God’s appearance, the rating, and the reward of the Golden General were all Qin Feng’s!

It was Qin Feng who earned the "S" rating!

It was Qin Feng who received the "Golden General"!!

"Wow, I didn’t expect this to count as a Hidden Task and yield a hidden reward..." Qin Feng scratched his head, muttering as he looked at the Golden General, "Indeed, treating this as a game is not wrong..."

"How infuriating, why you?!!"

Ling was furious, his eyes burning with red.

"Well, if you’re not satisfied, you can ask the Servant God, or directly confront me. But do you have that ability?" Qin Feng calmly replied.

"..."

Ling felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

How obnoxious, he can’t defeat him...

"That’s amazing!!"

Ding Lan and Shuang’er, realizing the situation, excitedly hugged Qin Feng from both sides, "Qin Feng, you’re incredible! You got the highest ’S’ rating right from the start!!"

"Is ’S’ really the highest? There must be something higher..."

Qin Feng said as he extricated himself from their embrace.
