Before long, the escaping apprentices gathered near Mireya.
"Everyone, hurry up and flee."
"Yes, that person has already sent a warning. If we don’t escape, we’re dead."
"Don’t dawdle, let’s go, lest we anger that person and end up implicated."
"Exactly, if you’re really unwilling, you can fight for it in the other two areas."
...
Listening to these words, Mireya pressed her lips together, raised her right hand, and a blue-green elental pillar shot up into the sky.
This was the signal for retreat.
...
At the edge of the giant pit.
After confirming that everyone had retreated, Lor breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although those seven steps seed easy, in reality, forty-five percent of the elental energy in his sea of consciousness had been used up.
If he couldn’t scare them off, he’d have to fight while retreating and find ti to recover elental energy along the way.
Although he’d likely still win in the end, in such chaotic scenes, the divine power crystals left from killing hundreds of apprentices would likely be snatched amidst the chaos.
"Thankfully, everything went smoothly."
Lor smirked, turned, and walked to the center of the giant pit to pick up the space ring. He infused his spiritual power into it to investigate.
Instantly, a roughly 10-cubic-ter, rough, round space appeared in view.
"10 cubic ters, those old guys are generous for once," Lor thought, "I thought they’d just give a 5-cubic-ter space ring and call it quits."
One cubic ter of space equipnt is valued at 50,000 contribution points.
Five cubic ters, valued at around 500,000 contribution points.
And ten cubic ters, at least 2 million contribution points would be needed to exchange for it.
Such space equipnt is also a major channel for high-level wizards to recover contribution points.
In the absence of spatial mages, its value would only rise, not fall.
After placing the space ring on his left ring finger, Lor first stored the 197 grams of divine power crystals from his bag inside it.
He then followed the trail of divine power to collect the divine power crystals left by the thousand or so apprentices consud by the lava.
"Fifty-three grams, not bad, not bad."
"Seven grams, a bit too little."
"Nine grams, tsk..."
Lor spent about an hour gathering all the divine power crystals.
Most apprentices’ divine power crystals were scarce, only a few grams or a dozen grams.
But the divine power crystals from the five apprentices Lor specifically targeted totaled 2800 grams.
Altogether, the divine power crystals sumd up to 4237 grams.
It could be said that most of the divine power crystals in this forest ended up in Lor’s possession.
"The 4237 grams here, plus the over 700 grams I stored with Levan, along with the 15% share, should total around 8000 grams of divine power crystals."
Lor thought, "8000 grams of divine power crystals converted to contribution points equals about 8 million, which should be enough to last for a while."
Though 8 million contribution points seem like a lot, in reality, if one intends to buy sothing good, it doesn’t last that long.
For instance, a top-tier spaceship with defense comparable to a third-ring defense witchcraft, flying speed matching a third-ring wizard, and inscribed with offensive and defensive magic arrays of a third-ring wizard would cost at least over a million contribution points.
Others, like white rats, first-ring rune combination knowledge, and fourth-ring life-saving witchcraft scrolls, need not be ntioned for the ti being.
For Lor, the biggest expenditure is actually the panel.
As for spiritual power allocation, it shouldn’t be ntioned too early. With an eighth-level ditation talent, self-cultivation isn’t slow; combined with so allocation, it can reasonably and rapidly improve.
But witchcraft limit break and level-ups are two huge pitfalls.
The further one goes, the more power-up points needed.
"Why do the more contribution points I have, the more I feel they’re not enough?" Lor sighed inwardly.
In truth, it’s not that the contribution points are inadequate, but after gaining more contribution points, his eyes automatically lift to better things.
Like the fourth-ring witchcraft scroll, he previously dismissed it with disdain.
But now, he subconsciously regards it as within his grasp.
After gathering the divine power crystals, Lor didn’t linger there too long.
He ran dozens of miles towards the hills, randomly setting up an adaptive rock wall and a lava eruption magic array, beginning to recover elental energy.
After more than ten minutes, recovering elental energy fully, he set off again, heading towards the hills.
...
Four hours later.
Reaching Levan’s temporary camp, he ignored the greetings from the apprentices and walked straight into the central stone hall of the camp, heading into Levan’s eting hall.
Upon reaching the eting hall’s entrance, Lor saw a group of people seated around the long table, quite lively, and all looking exuberant.
"The leader is righteous!"
"Indeed, the leader is truly generous!"
"A 15% share, to give it up just like that, and additionally offering 1 million contribution points for distribution, impressive."
"Exactly, exactly."
...
"Hahaha, luckily, it’s also thanks to your help that things went so smoothly!"
A group of apprentices surrounded Levan, showering him with praises, making him elated.
"What’s the good news here?" Lor raised an eyebrow, stepping into the hall, "Why don’t you share it and make happy too?"
The apprentices imdiately fell silent upon seeing Lor’s arrival.
The hall’s atmosphere shifted from joyous to somber in just an instant.
"ntor, you’re back!"
Levan, seated at the end of the long table, was the first to stand and bow to Lor, then addressed the apprentices, "You all may leave now."
"Yes, Lor sir, leader."
"Okay, Lor sir, leader."
...
All apprentices rose, bowing to Lor and Levan, then swiftly exited the hall.
Once everyone left, Levan smiled at Lor and said, "ntor, things went smoothly in the space equipnt competition in our hill region."
"I took five thousand apprentices out, and with little effort, obtained this space bracelet."
While speaking, he removed the black bracelet from his hand and handed it to Lor, "If you didn’t manage to grab space equipnt, you can use this for now."
"I have a bracelet outside; I don’t need this one."
He thought Lor returned so early might an he didn’t get space equipnt and was ready to offer his bracelet to Lor imdiately.
"Do you think your ntor can’t get space equipnt?" Lor didn’t take the bracelet and just looked at Levan with a faint smile.
"The competition for the bracelets is intense, and ntor is only one person, though absolutely the strongest, it’s hard to..." Levan hadn’t finished before noticing Lor shaking his right hand slightly.
A shiny ring was adorning the ring finger of Lor’s right hand.
"As expected of ntor."
Levan quickly changed his tune, exclaiming in awe, "Considering the travel ti back, you must have taken less than an hour to grab that space, amazing!"
"You have a knack for this," Lor shook his head helplessly with a smile, "Alright, let’s not dwell on this. Tell about the 15% share and 1 million contribution points situation."
In ntioning this, he wasn’t intending to criticize his student.
On the contrary, he planned to give this kid proper praise.
Having subordinates working with you and maintaining fair profit distribution is indeed a very wise decision.
