"Buzz!"
Three laws of heaven and earth descended, giving Chen Luo a slight lead!
"I've succeeded... I've become an immortal!"
Looking at the wisp of law power swirling around his fist, Chen Luo felt an overwhelming surge of pride.
From that moment on, I was forever separated from all the mortals and immortals around me.
Even after they all turn to dust, I will still exist for thousands of years!
Although he had expected all of this, he still couldn't help but feel excited when it happened.
From now on, I'm a big shot... I'll never have to go back to that cramped little room and listen to that miner's scolding and nagging again!
"Excellent! I never expected to witness the birth of three immortals today!"
Wang Sheng raised his hand, and the three of them rose into the air, standing above millions of people, basking in immense glory.
"Since you broke through in front of me, it can be considered fate. I will reward each of you with two hundred immortal stones. In addition, from today onwards, you are all official citizens of the Holy Empire! I have a household registration officer by my side, and you can register in a moment! At that time, you are free to choose whether to go to the main city or settle here!"
"Whoosh!"
Although everyone already knew the outcome, they still couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Citizens of the Empire!
With enough money, one can settle on other planets and no longer have to stay on Jinyuan Star, the logistics planet... From then on, one can live a carefree life!
Not to mention becoming an immortal, which eliminates the risk of a short lifespan... If one could one day become a true immortal, one would completely transform their physical body according to the laws of nature, no longer susceptible to viruses and insects...
"Thank you for the reward, Commander!"
The three were led to the high platform by Wang Sheng, whereupon they immediately knelt and bowed down.
In order to make an example of them, Wang Sheng immediately bestowed two hundred immortal stones upon each of the three!
How much are two hundred immortal stones worth...?
A miner earns 2,000 credits per month, which is worth two crystal fragments.
One immortal stone, a hundred shattered crystals.
They would have to save up for more than four years without eating or drinking!
Two hundred...that's over eight hundred years! You couldn't earn that much in several lifetimes!
Some are happy, some are sad.
Three people were promoted and received rewards, but the other twelve were not so happy.
Although given their current form and accumulated experience, they should have a great chance in the future.
But if you want to gain favor with your commander and receive such a reward, there's no chance...
The three stood on the high platform, waving to the thousands of miners below. They noticed the envy and astonishment in the eyes of their childhood friend, Li Yi.
Chen Luo's previous contemptuous attitude has changed somewhat.
It's been my childhood friend since I was little. If I know what's good for me, I might as well take it in as a dog.
When his gaze fell on Chen's father, who was waving at him, a shadow of gloom crossed his heart again.
Two hundred immortal stones should definitely be enough to cure the mineral poisoning.
But I still need to live in the main city... and I'll need to buy a lot of resources to advance to True Immortal.
Ten immortal stones... cut in two! No more than that!
...
Salary payments are no longer distributed one by one; simply stand in the plaza area, and as long as your wristband is detected by the smart network, your salary will be credited directly to your account.
Of the tens of millions of people present today, apart from Chen Luo and the other two who advanced to immortality, everyone else received an extra two hundred points in rewards.
If you have to pay a lot each month, it'll be more than two hundred points...
Although it can't completely change one's fate, it can at least improve one's life for a few meals.
After the crowd dispersed, Chen Luo, along with two others, went to find the household registration officer.
Upon arrival, they were told that the commander's entourage was currently hosting a banquet and that they should come back tomorrow.
A banquet... the three of them had only heard about it, never actually seen one.
But thinking that they would also be living this kind of life in the future, they left happily.
Same road, two different feelings.
As Chen Luo walked back, he noticed the awe-inspiring looks he received from the crowd around him.
My feelings towards them are no longer the same as before; instead, I feel a touch of pity.
He lived a life of hardship his entire life, yet he never made any progress...
Ten thousand years later, everything here will have changed beyond recognition.
But I am still me!
Now that I've advanced to the Immortal Realm and become a citizen of the Empire, I certainly can't pretend to be stupid anymore.
Could it be that this puppet has lost its value?
Should we really turn him into a puppet...?
Or should we hand him over at the right time?
Now that he is an immortal and has almost exhausted his resources, he naturally no longer needs to worry about others stealing them.
Handing over this corpse might yield some residual value from a powerful figure.
But I didn't hand it in immediately... which is probably against the rules.
You need to cultivate your network and find the right opportunities.
Chen Luo went home while pondering.
When I got home, I found that there was no one there...
"You deserve to be an absentee for life!"
Chen Luo knew without even thinking that his father had probably gone down into the mine again.
Chen Luo, who had originally wanted to show off his abilities in front of others, was slightly disappointed.
But in the blink of an eye, he banished that thought from his mind.
"Let's check out the hotels in the mining area..."
Mining areas naturally have some upscale establishments.
Even if only one in several million people becomes an immortal every few decades, over the years, it still amounts to a considerable number.
He used to lack the courage to even glance at such a place...
Just as Chen Luo was marveling at the comfort of the hotel in the mining area,
Inside the nearby imperial palace,
Chen Luo's former classmates, Liang Kun and Wang Teng, had returned from the banquet, both thoroughly drunk.
Each of them was supported by two maids.
"Let me tell you, in Mine No. 175, there are three supervisors, and this Liu Tian is my uncle's trusted subordinate. If you need anything in the future, just ask him for help!"
At such a banquet, Wang Sheng, a Xuanxian-level immortal, would naturally just make a brief appearance and leave.
Leaving behind their two nephews and nieces would make them the center of attention, revered as the most important people in the world.
Liang Kun wrapped his arms around the necks of the two maids and moved them forward.
"Good, good, good! Young Master Wang is really a good friend... This trip with you has been quite an eye-opener! I never imagined that things would be so strict in the main city, but it's been so much fun out here... When we get back, I'll talk to my father and get you a gold card from the Chamber of Commerce!"
Wang Teng's face lit up with joy.
"That's a deal! You'd better get it done when you get back!"
"It's a small matter. By the way, what about Chen Luo..."
"Don't worry, everything's been arranged! Tomorrow, once my uncle leaves, with Liu Tian protecting us, we can do whatever we want!"
As Wang Teng spoke, he kissed the maid beside him on the face, muttering something under his breath.
"I just... don't know... what kind of person his sister is!"
"Let's see first. Let Chen Luo bring the people over. If they're good, we can play with them ourselves. If they're not, we'll just watch others play!"
"Haha...Yes, yes, that makes sense!"
