Chapter 135 Offers Generous Rewards
"According to the standards for evaluating combat merits, successfully obtaining the Star Core Ember is considered an outstanding contribution, with a base combat merit of 5000 points."
"Acquire key intelligence, disrupt the Ash Ring operation, successfully evacuate, etc., and accumulate 3000 battle merits."
"A total of 8000 battle merits, to be divided equally among the three of you."
"In addition, the Council of Elders has granted you special permission, in recognition of your outstanding potential and loyalty to the organization under extreme conditions, to each of you receive an additional one-month access to the first level of the Secret Knowledge Base."
"And one opportunity to apply for advanced customized equipment or materials, worth no more than 2000 battle merits."
8000 battle merits are divided equally, with each person receiving 2666 points!
There's also access to a secret knowledge base and opportunities for premium customization!
Even though Luo Lin was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the generous reward.
This is an enormous sum of money and an opportunity that would make any wizard at any level envious!
"Thank you for the commendation from the Elders!"
The three of them thanked them in unison.
"Furthermore, Rowling."
The old wizard's self-illumination fell solely on Rowling.
"Your unique perception of alien energy, adaptive spell creation, and decisiveness at critical moments demonstrated during the mission have attracted the special attention of the research department."
"Analyst Soria has also submitted positive evaluations of your abilities before."
"The Research Department is formally inviting you to report to the Department of Anomalies and Relics Analysis after your rest period. You will be able to participate in research on topics such as the fragments of the Scorching Hell, the corrupted source energy, and the metal fragments you brought back."
"Of course, this will not affect your normal cultivation and missions."
A formal invitation from the research department!
This means that we can legitimately access more core knowledge from other worlds and use the organization's resources to conduct research that interests us!
For Rowling, this was even more appealing than military achievements.
"I agree, thank you for the research department's approval!"
Rowling immediately agreed.
"Very good, you can go and rest now."
"Your battle merits and rewards will be transferred to your identity badges very soon."
"Submit a detailed mission report to both the War Affairs Department and the Research Department within three days."
The old wizard waved his hand.
As he left the hearing room and walked back to his temporary residence, Rowling felt his steps become much lighter.
Having overcome numerous hardships, they returned with a full harvest, having taken a significant step forward in terms of strength, wealth, knowledge, and future prospects.
Back in their temporary suite, the three of them closed the door, looked at each other, and all smiled with relief.
"Finally—I'm back alive."
Flame Shield plopped down in the soft chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It feels like I had a long and chaotic dream."
Nightingale rubbed her temples, but a hint of excitement lingered in her eyes.
"Eight thousand battle merits—enough for us to exchange for a lot of things."
Luo Lin walked to the window, looking at the familiar scenery of the Shadow Raven Holy Tower Secret Academy headquarters outside, his mind filled with many thoughts.
This trip to another world not only brought him rich material rewards, but also tempered his will on the brink of life and death, and verified his own path to power.
The [Myriad Stars] and [Star Stream Water Field] have been continuously improved in actual combat, and the ability of the Echo Unit to sense and analyze otherworldly energy has also been greatly enhanced.
More importantly, he came into contact with two completely different otherworldly energies, Corruption Source and Scorching Hell, which broadened his horizons and gave him a deeper understanding of the world and power.
It's time to take stock of what we've gained and plan for the future.
He brought up the panel he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

With a mental strength of 178 points and a mana of 1780 points, he has firmly established himself as a first-ring wizard, though he is still some distance from the threshold of the second ring.
Physical fitness has also improved significantly.
Proficiency in various spells has steadily increased, and the newly created [Starflow Water Field] has also reached the mastery level.
Although the [Myriad Stars] is still in its initial stage, its stability and adaptability to different types of energy have been enhanced, which is likely related to the continuous operation of the echo unit and the influence of the star core embers.
Most importantly, he accumulated a massive 2666 battle merits and two valuable privileges.
These will be key to his rapid improvement in strength.
First, you need to go to the hidden knowledge base to find meditation methods or knowledge that can help you deepen your understanding of stars, space, and otherworldly energy.
Secondly, using advanced customization qualifications, create a piece of equipment that suits you and can assist in research or combat.
Finally, use battle merits to exchange for a batch of urgently needed rare materials for further optimization of [Myriad Stars].
The preparation of potions and the cultivation of Bahamuts.
"Get a good night's sleep first."
"Roland said to Flame Shield and Nightingale."
"Then, let's go to the exchange counter and carefully plan how to spend this windfall."
Flame Shield and Nightingale both nodded with smiles.
Having survived the ordeal, they returned home laden with spoils, their future promising. This journey to the fragments of hell, though fraught with peril, ultimately proved a gamble that paid off, yielding rich rewards and a bright future.
A deep sleep lasting twelve hours washed away the fatigue and tension accumulated from the trip to the other world.
When he woke up, Luo Lin felt refreshed and invigorated. The star core in his spiritual sea was rotating steadily, and the star power was flowing smoothly. Even his senses were sharper.
Flame Shield and Nightingale also woke up one after another. The three of them quickly washed up, changed into clean Shadow Raven standard gray robes, and then—
They went together to the exchange counter of the War Affairs Department.
The exchange counter was still busy, but when the first-ring wizard in charge of reception saw the 2666 battle merit points on their identity badges, his attitude immediately became exceptionally polite, and he led them to a relatively quiet VIP room.
"You've just returned from completing the Scorched Flame Shard quest, haven't you?"
"Lord Horn and the Council of Elders have already spoken to you. Your exchange quota will be prioritized, and your access will be granted."
The exchange officer was a kind-faced, middle-aged witch with a warm smile.
"Take a look and choose whatever you need to exchange."
She handed over three specially made crystal plates, which listed items that were several times more detailed and varied than ordinary exchange lists. They included everything from regular magic stones, materials, and potions to rare knowledge scrolls, rubbings of ancient documents, blueprints for custom-made enchanted items, the right to use special training grounds, and even some rare living magical plants or magical beast eggs.
Luo Lin first browsed the knowledge scroll and the special permissions section.
Access to the first level of the Secret Knowledge Base has been granted; no further knowledge exchange is required at this time.
He focused on the specific details regarding eligibility for high-end customization applications.
Eligibility allows you to apply for one custom item worth no more than 2000 battle merits. This item can be a demonized item, robe, accessory, or a special alchemical item or pet equipment.
Applicants need to provide a detailed description of their needs and initial ideas, which will then be evaluated and created by the corresponding alchemy or enchanting masters within the Holy Tower, with materials provided by the Holy Tower.
Luo Lin already had a rough idea in mind.
