Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

A feeling and sense of pride emerged from Carmen's expression when Xu Feng once again mentioned her talent was amazing.

Although she didn't know why he said that, who didn't want to be praised and lauded?

"Anyway, are you going to tell me who your boss is?" She questioned, after sending the message reply to Hundred Ghost.

"The boss's in-game name is Eclipse Nova." Xu Feng casually replied, not a bit afraid of his persona being exposed. "Anyway, the boss usually disappears time and time again, only contacting me when there's big things."

Nodding, Carmen wasn't surprised that Xu Feng's boss was a busy person. In fact, it was only natural that they would be busy.

She leaned back on the couch and no longer inquired further.

There was no need for her to be concerned with Xu Feng's boss. She was familiar with Xu Feng, but not his boss, and throughout this duration, his boss never revealed themselves once.

Hence, she doubted his boss was the true mastermind behind the scenes and that everything happening here was due to Xu Feng's capability.

In the end, her opinion of Xu Feng was still placed up high in contrast to his mysterious boss.

While she was making this kind of debate, Carmen was baffled upon receiving a swift response from Hundred Ghost.

"Feng, your boss guessed right!" Carmen gasped in disbelief, turned to Xu Feng, and continued, "Hundred Ghost agreed to pay the 100 million dollars and want us to lift the ban and bounty hunt immediately once the transfer is completed."

Unbeknownst to her, Carmen had lost her cool and composure, looking no different than an excited little girl. Clearly, the sum of 100 million dollars had shocked her deeply.

Of course, it was not the money itself, but how Xu Feng managed to earn a huge sum just like that.

By hindering and punishing the Reaver Guild, Xu Feng managed to earn a staggering amount of 100 million dollars— all because of a virtual game.

Who would believe her if she retold the story elsewhere?

"Guild Leader, Hundred Ghost messaged again, urging me to tell where to deposit the fund." She continued, her expression somewhat aghast. It was truly the first time that she had witnessed someone urging the other party to accept a large sum of money and not the other way around.

Usually, it was people demanding the money, and not people demanding others to accept the money.

"I've sent you the bank details. Have him labeled as a guild expense when sending the money." Xu Feng calmly responded, almost as if he was used to such scenarios.

Naturally, the truth was that Xu Feng had seen this type of transaction more than once. This happened more frequently once the game reached mid-stage, especially when guild wars erupted.

A few minutes later, Carmen sent the precise details, and Xu Feng confirmed the transaction had been made.

Meanwhile, throughout the ordeal, Carmen was the most stunned individual.

"You don't understand why Hundred Ghost was willing to pay such a hefty sum, right?" Xu Feng mused, having read through her mind.

Carmen nodded, clearly unable to comprehend the situation. Even as a former marketing employee, she can't fathom whether such a deal was applicable whatsoever.

If she was assigned to market this incident to be resolved for 100 million dollars, Carmen could only throw in the white flag to surrender.

"The people that backed the Reaver Guild are from GRIM Corporation. Just now, news of me capable of imposing a ban on their branch guild had spread all across. What do you think will happen if I start to target those in good business relationships with the GRIM Corporation?" Xu Feng calmly gave her a pop quiz to determine the answer herself.

Sure enough, Carmen started knitting her brows as she began to mutter, "Companies collaborate with others for profit. So if their profits are harmed because of one company, then naturally, every collaborator would target that specific company."

Although she understood this concept fairly well, she just couldn't fathom how the Divine World could generate a profit of over 100 million dollars.

"Gaming is fun, but it's not applicable to play the whole time without working. Otherwise, the real world would be doomed." Carmen scratched her head.

"Is that so?" Amused, Xu Feng smirked and asked, "Then how did you feel when you logged out of the game after playing for an entire day?"

"Eh? I didn't feel much." Carmen answered honestly.

"Heh, I bet you haven't glanced at the mirror. If you did, then your reaction would have been totally different." Xu Feng continued, but before he could speak any further, Carmen disappeared from the scene.

'Did she really have to log out that fast without saying a word?' Xu Feng wondered silently, seemingly speechless at her action.

Despite this, he was somewhat pleased to not have to explain. Once she checked the reflection in her mirror, she would come to realize her beauty had glistened.

Mana was truly a wonderful power— to the point that it could affect one's reality. However, what they experienced so far was only the tip of the surface.

By the time they truly realized the value, it would already be a bit too late.

As Xu Feng was getting ready to set up for the journey to Paradise Plains, Carmen subsequently returned after 10 minutes.

"Guild Leader, this is unbelievable!" Carmen shouted in excitement. She planned on talking about the effect and transformation that her body had undergone but then came to a halt.

Her guild leader was a man, and to speak of such things was somewhat uncomfortable.

"You don't have to explain the effect you felt to me." Almost as if he understood her awkwardness, Xu Feng lightly chuckled and gave her a leeway out.

"The reason why you felt the immense change is because of the Arcane Vein's environment." He explained.

"This is really surreal." Carmen took a deep breath to calm down. "Wait, but wouldn't the other players also get to experience this change once they entered the Arcane Vein?"

Realization dawned upon Carmen as she could vividly imagine the players' reaction once they logged out of the Divine World.

However, Xu Feng merely mused at her thought. Maybe if it was before his discovery and Authority Level gained, then these players might get lucky.

'As if I will let those players gain any advantage.' Xu Feng inwardly sneered.
