Chapter 104: Xu Family 2
*Congratulations to Player Qiangqiang for being the first person to use the Family Token.*
*As such, they receive the following rewards: a minor realm upgrade for everyone in the family, 50 Family Cards of different ranks, and finally, a unique item.*
This caused the players and the citizens who were sent to different parts of the world to once again have their jaws drop to the ground, as they could not believe what they had just heard.
However, the players were not surprised by this announcement because they had expected that Qiangqiang would be the first one to use the Family Token.
They were able to understand the basic requirements from the small library that each inn has.
In that library, there is not only this introductory information but also details on where they are and how far away the nearest city is to them.
So they were just surprised, but this cannot be said for the people who did not get this information.
They were not given this luxury, as the World\'s Will deemed them natives who would learn about these matters after the nearby players settled in their city.
But these people will not get the answers right now, as most of them are struggling just to survive, having been only given a basic set of clothes along with some silver coins to live by the World\'s Will.
In this world, there is another currency that is mainly used by mortals or low-level cultivators, as Spiritual Stones are something that is hard to find for them.
So they use gold, silver, and copper coins to trade, with a ratio of 1:100:1000.
Each low-level Spiritual Stone is worth 10 gold coins, and this is a stable rate without any changes, even if the quantity of the Spiritual Stones increases.
This is because these stones have many uses, such as cultivating, pill refining, and formation energy sources.
They are also one of the main materials used for all the other items that use spiritual qi as their power source.
But this amount of money is not enough for these people to find a cultivation manual and start cultivating, as you will need more than 10 Spirit Stones even to buy a low-level manual.
So many people are jealous of seeing Xu Qianghua and his group getting the first City Lord position and now being able to be the first person to use the Family Token.
Most players and the general Old World people think of Qiangqiang as lucky, while others are divided between thinking that he knew some kind of inside information, which led him to prepare in advance.
But they cannot do anything, as they do not have any way to contact the player. And even if they did, what could they do? All of them know that in this world, strength is needed before they can ask for anything.
However, there are always some mentally challenged people who do not care about this fact and try to form groups in their city or their inn so that they can demand Xu Qianghua hand over everything he has because they are humans.
To these kinds of people, there were many reactions; some looked at them with disgust or disdain, some agreed with them but knew their strengths and were silent without voicing their opinions.
But this was all seen by some of the friends that Xu Qianghua made before the merge, who, in his last life, became the top leaders of this world.
These people just watched and made a mental note of their appearances, which they will use to trade with Xu Qianghua.
This is what Xu Qianghua hopes to do, as he does not want them to use this as a favor. He knew these people, and owing them a favor is not the best thing to do, as they will most likely use it when they are in dire need.
But this does not mean this relationship will stay like this, as Xu Qianghua hopes to have loyal friends who he can depend on to protect this planet from all threats.
Back in the Xu Family Subspace.
Xu Qianghua, who had left the dual cultivation room, suddenly felt a wave of spiritual Qi enter his body.
Soon, his cultivation realm broke from the Middle Gold Core Realm to the Late Gold Core Realm, and then the wave stopped.
He hurriedly checked his Dantian and his body to see what was happening, but he only saw that the color of his golden core, which was bright golden, had now changed to deep golden.
This meant that his Golden Core had advanced to the Late Gold Core stage and was in a stable state without any problems with his foundation.
He did not know what to say about this until he opened the Status and checked the log to see the rewards given by the World\'s Will, which included the small stage upgrade for all of the Xu family members.
And he was not wrong, as both Su Meifang and Su Meilan felt the same way as he did when Spiritual Qi entered their bodies and upgraded their cultivation from Peak Foundation Realm to Early Gold Core Realm.
After some time, both of them opened their eyes, which they had closed when they felt the wave of Spiritual Qi, and then looked at the logs similar to Xu Qianghua and were surprised to see the rewards.
Then the three of them decided to split up and explore further, as there were still many places left.
While Su Meifang and Su Meilan went to inspect the other rooms, Xu Qianghua headed towards the main bedroom, which was in the deepest part of the mansion.
This was because something else was hidden in that room, the most important item in this subspace.
Soon, he entered the room and approached a small shelf on one end of the room. He placed his hand on the wall of the shelf and injected his Spiritual Qi.
For the first few seconds, there was no response, but after those seconds, the whole thing split into two, revealing a staircase leading downward.
Xu Qianghua walked forward and descended for a few minutes before he saw an ancient door with intricate carvings along with faint formation markings that were hard to decipher.
Xu Qianghua then placed his hand on the door, which reacted by flashing a bright light, causing Xu Qianghua to squint his eyes for a moment before he felt a light stab on one of his fingers.
This caused him to instinctively remove his hand, but he saw a needle with a few drops of his blood where his hand had been.
Seeing this, Xu Qianghua sighed in relief. This meant that this subspace was now his own property, and no one weaker than him could leave, and no one who did not have a way to find the location of their subspace could enter.
As he was thinking about this, the ancient door slowly opened, and a warm light hit his face.
As it did, Xu Qianghua could feel his soul, which was inside his Golden Core, slowly being baptized as it grew stronger and more solid.
Soon, the light faded, revealing what was inside the room.
What he saw were two objects next to each other: one was the Family stele, which is the main controller of the whole subspace.
The other object was a sphere with multiple lights glowing inside of it. This was the Guardian Sphere for the subspace.
And this is what he had come for, as he knew the perfect person to use this sphere on.
Guardian Sphere (Chaos)
Description: The Guardian and Protector of this subspace.
This sphere is something that almost all the Family-style players want. The quality of the sphere is less important than the sphere itself, as to fulfill its main function, it has to change into something that is acceptable to everyone in the area it protects.
So what does this mean? It means you can customize this sphere to your liking, and 95% of players choose their ideal partner as the model.
They then make that person their main wife or husband, depending on their choice.
This is because Guardians are immortal and able to live forever. Their strength is a reflection of the Family Head, so both partners are of the same Realm.
In addition, they are the most ideal partners, as one of them protects the base while the other one leads their family members to glory.
Xu Qianghua already had someone fit for this job, so he called her.
\'Hey system, do you want to fuse your main soul to this sphere and finally have a body?\' he asked in his mind.
[Are you sure, host? You know you can create a completely new being who does not have any memories and is a blank slate,] she asked.
\'I am sure, as I have known you for a whole lifetime, and I know for sure that I can leave this subspace in your hands,\' he smiled as he said this.
