"Why is it always players from that country? Don't we, the United States, have anyone who can go up against them? Paulson, has the file I asked you to compile been sent to Wall Street?" Mia Luo, the captain of the US Heavenly Dao Special Task Force, asked her subordinate with a grim expression.
"Captain, it has been sent. They said they need to assess the strength of our special task force before making a decision." Paulson looked at Mia Luo's stunning face and swallowed.
That's right, the captain of the US Heavenly Dao Special Task Force was a woman, and a beautiful one at that, only sixteen years old.
"Captain, I heard that Wall Street has also started to advance into Heavenly Dao. If they manage to taste some sweetness in there, it will be even harder to make them bleed some blood later!"
Taggess, Mia Luo's assistant and the deputy captain of the special task force, also wore a worried expression.
"What about the Rothschild family? They shouldn't be quiet."
"They are reportedly gathering a large sum of funds, preparing to organize a knightly order."
The Rothschild family, a family that was excessively low-key. It was rumored that their family's wealth exceeded the combined wealth of the top three hundred families on the Forbes list! They influenced the financial changes of the entire world!
Many so-called experts in the world had made rough estimates of their family's wealth, which should be around 50 trillion US dollars.
This was more than the combined GDP of China and the United States for a year! However, unlike countries, their business operations spanned the globe, making it impossible for them to allocate too much capital. Otherwise, dozens of countries around the world would not agree.
"A knightly order? It seems their ambition for the revival of the European empire is still strong. Let's see if there's room for cooperation then, and suppress China first. How much funding have we secured so far?"
"The Department of Defense provided us with 20 billion US dollars, and will add another 10 billion each month. The National Department of Commerce gave us 10 billion US dollars, and will add another 5 billion each month. The Treasury Department allocated 30 billion, and can add another 20 billion US dollars each month. Currently, we have a total of 60 billion US dollars! 41 billion has been used, with 19 billion remaining!" Hearing Mia Luo's question, Paulson, who was in charge of finances, quickly replied.
"Transfer the remaining 19 billion to my account! I don't believe we can't suppress them!" Hearing Paulson's words, Mia Luo immediately made a decision.
"Captain, this is not in accordance with the rules. According to the special task force's regulations, the captain only has an allocation of 5 billion per month!" Upon hearing Mia Luo's words, Paulson immediately stood up, looking at Taggess for help. He was the overseer of the entire special task force.
"Give it to her. I believe Mia Luo has thought of a way to bring more wealth to our special task force."
"Alright..."
An hour later, all countries friendly to the United States received a call from the US Secretary of Defense, and then, large sums of money, ranging from billions to hundreds of millions of US dollars, began to flow into the United States, albeit reluctantly, from their respective national leaders.
Meanwhile, within the Pentagon's "birdcage" in the United States, the two hundred special task force members let out cries of surprise.
At this moment, their empty accounts suddenly reached over seventy billion US dollars! Equivalent to nearly five hundred billion gold coins!
"Transfer all the funds to my account!"
The celebrating crowd was suddenly choked, making muffled sounds and looking at the woman sitting on the rostrum in disbelief.
"Captain, you this..." Paulson was stunned, and even Taggess, the overseer, looked bewildered.
"I have already applied to the higher-ups. This is the document issued by the higher-ups." Mia Luo took out a document and handed it to Paulson.
"This... I need to confirm it." Paulson's hands trembled as he held the document, looking at Taggess for help.
Taggess had no choice but to take out his phone and contact his superiors directly.
China, Shanghai, the top floor of the Dragon Palace Building.
"The news just spread that the United States has collected over 50 billion US dollars in protection fees from its so-called allies. What do you think?" Captain Zhou Ningdong rubbed his temples as he looked at the deputy captains sitting on either side. He had been exhausted for the past two days, working for the development of the Dragon Palace and to find that mysterious player.
Although he was not yet thirty, he looked over forty.
"It seems that our mysterious player from China has stimulated them. An Emperor-level talent, and a level 20 Emperor-level boss, has caused their rogue nature to be exposed again." The deputy captain was an officer transferred from the cyber security force, with extensive gaming experience. His name was Liu Hai.
"The Sakura Empire heard that the US wanted to suppress our player, so they voluntarily gave the US special task force 10 billion US dollars. It seems their own Kamikaze team only allocated a little over 5 billion? They are truly like madmen." Another deputy captain also made a sarcastic remark. He was previously an outstanding member of the information technology forces and was selected to join the Dragon Palace this time. His name was Li Chenxu.
"Are you guys missing the point? Their current funds are up to a hundred billion US dollars! Ten times more than ours!" Zhou Ningdong looked at the two carefree young men and felt speechless.
"Hehe, Captain, I understand what you mean. You just want money, right? It's no big deal." Li Chenxu smiled when he saw Zhou Ningdong's serious expression.
No big deal?
Zhou Ningdong looked at him, feeling his anger surge.
"Captain, give me authorization, and I guarantee that our monthly funds will increase by no less than 30 billion!" Seeing that Old Zhou was about to lose his temper, Li Chenxu quickly assured him.
"Go! Damn it! If you can't get it, we'll deduct a year's salary!" Zhou Ningdong roared. He had lost countless hairs and dandruff worrying about funds every day.
Now this kid was saying it was no big deal? Which of those departments were not stingy? Unless he sold the strategy he had just figured out to other countries, but his domestic tasks had just begun, so selling it now was not suitable.
Three hours later...
A news report from the Ministry of National Defense completely blew up the internet.
The National Defense Strategic Donation Fund was established!
Every citizen could donate to this fund, with a maximum of one donation per month, ranging from 10 to 100 yuan. The donations were voluntary, with a maximum of 100 yuan per month, which was quite rational. This left other departments speechless.
At the same time, corporate donations were opened, with each company donating once a month according to their turnover, ranging from 100 to 10,000 yuan, with voluntary participation.
...
While the outside world was in turmoil, the instigator Ye Yun was in Fengle Village, looking at a two-story tower with excitement.
In addition to the 10% "shares," this time completing the divine city mission also rewarded a non-profit vocational skill academy and a profitable divine refining tower!
Vocational Skill Academy, as the name suggests, was a place where players could learn skills corresponding to their own professions. Generally, such academies were only available in township-level administrative regions, where players could learn professional skills from level 10 to 30. Among them, the most popular were life skills, such as alchemy and artifact refining.
The Divine Refining Tower, this was truly amazing. In his previous life, Ye Yun frequented this place the most. If wealthy players could reach the top through in-game purchases, then ordinary players could turn their fortunes around through the Divine Refining Tower! However, this thing was only available after entering the main city in his previous life.
The Divine Refining Tower was divided into eleven floors. On the first floor, players could spend 30 gold coins to refine their spirits. Each refining process lasted 8 hours, and accumulating 24 hours of refining would grant 1 free attribute point. However, this was only for players whose recharge amount was less than 100 million yuan.
The second floor cost 60 gold coins, with each refining process lasting 8 hours. Accumulating 24 hours would grant 2 attribute points. This was only for players whose recharge amount was less than 50 million yuan.
The third floor cost 90 gold coins, and accumulating three times would grant 3 attribute points, only for players whose recharge amount was less than 10 million yuan.
And so on, up to the tenth floor, where players with recharge amounts less than 10,000 yuan could enter. Each process cost 300 gold coins, and three processes would grant 10 attribute points!
As for the eleventh floor, it was reserved for the city lord, and no one knew its specifics.
In his previous life, after players reached level 30 and entered the main city, they would see the function of the Divine Refining Tower. Countless players beat their chests and wailed. A single attribute point was sold for a hundred thousand yuan, while here, even on the first floor, three processes would only cost 90 gold coins, taking only three days!
Even on the tenth floor, spending 900 gold coins in three days would grant ten attribute points. It was the same price of 90 gold coins per attribute point, and the same three days, but the tenth floor could grant a full 10 points!
