Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

"Boss!!!"

The fat man let out a heart-wrenching howl, ignoring how expensive the genuine leather carpet was, and scrambled over to hug Zhang Yuan's leg, crying, "I missed you so much! I've been drinking so much blood-boiling water since you left, I'm about to throw up!"

"Get out of the way, you'll lose 500 performance points if you smear your snot on me." Zhang Yuan pushed the fat man away with his toes in disgust, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Boss." Ah Qiang led Li Mo and the others forward. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his trembling mechanical arm betrayed his inner excitement. "This is... private property?"

"Just to correct you, this is our 'company headquarters.' From now on, you should call me 'Chairman.'" Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers, and the floating robot butler immediately served everyone a steaming cup of restorative drink. "Please make yourselves at home. Although the decor is quite expensive, we still have the basic hospitality."

"Oh, right, there are still a few guests."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the "Invitation Accepted" message displayed on his communicator, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Wait a moment, our security captain will be here shortly."

hum-

A portal on the other side of the hall lit up, and Old Bear stumbled out with two team members.

"President Zhang...President Zhang!" Old Xiong, seeing Zhang Yuan sitting at the head of the table, was so excited his face turned red, and he gave a rather awkward military salute. "The entire Iron Wall Squad is reporting for duty! Thank you for your guidance, President! From now on, we'll go wherever you tell us to go, without hesitation!"

"Very good." Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "I don't like making empty promises. As long as you abide by the contract, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, but their eyes were still occasionally drawn to the high-tech facilities around them.

"Alright, that concludes the reminiscing session."

Zhang Yuan clapped his hands, gesturing for everyone to look at the center of the conference table. "Next is the shareholders' dividend meeting... ah, no, the spoils distribution session."

He flipped his wrist, and a golden light flashed.

A heavy book, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty, appeared out of thin air and landed heavily on the table with a dull thud.

On the book's cover, an emblem representing the sun and truth is inlaid in mithril; simply gazing at it evokes a heart-stirring magical power of light.

[The Lumen Sage's Secret Manual]

"nice one……"

Li Mo's eyes widened instantly. "This energy fluctuation... this is definitely not an ordinary skill book, this is a legacy item!"

Let's check the goods a little.

Zhang Yuan placed his hand on the page, infusing it with a trace of magic.

slam-la-

The pages turned automatically, and countless golden runes leaped from the paper, projecting a series of stunning holographic displays into the conference room.

"This book contains much more than just a few light sphere spells," Zhang Yuan said, his voice carrying a hint of enticing salesmanship.

He stood up, walked to the holographic map, and began his mind-blowing brainstorming session.

"Everyone, what do you think is the most valuable thing in this cycle of reincarnation?"

"Equipment?" Ah Qiang asked tentatively.

"Bloodline?" Li Mo added.

"No, it's 'confidence'," Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers. "Or rather, it's 'packaging'."

He pointed to the angelic legion in the picture and said passionately, "Imagine if a necromancer with skeletons and zombies wanted to heal you, how much would you be willing to pay? You would just feel disgusted and worry that he might poison you."

"But what about us?"

Zhang Yuan spread his arms, his platinum trench coat billowing behind him even without wind. "I hold a cross, bathed in holy light. Tao Tao summons an army of angels singing hymns, circling in the air. A-Qiang, clad in golden heavy armor, stands like a temple guard."

"At this point, even if I'm selling the most ordinary hemostatic medicine, I can name it 'Holy Water' and sell it for ten times the price!"

"Moreover, it's not just about money." Zhang Yuan pushed up his glasses, revealing a sly look.

"This is psychological warfare. When the enemy sees this overwhelming display of divine power, they subconsciously feel that they are fighting against 'justice' and 'divine will.' This psychological pressure is often more deadly than direct physical harm."

"What we aim to become is not just the strongest guild, but the most high-end, the most prestigious, and the guild with the greatest 'premium value'!"

The audience was silent.

Everyone was stunned by Zhang Yuan's "charlatan marketing theory".

"So, Peach."

Zhang Yuan pushed the secret manual in front of the little girl who was staring blankly at the slime, his tone becoming serious and critical, "Throw away all your gloomy and eerie plants, and that soft, cheap-looking slime."

"As the chief summoner of 'Heavenly Armed Forces,' leading a group of dirty, low-level monsters out in public seriously damages our brand image."

"This book records the method of making a pact with the celestial realm. Before the next instance, I want to see you summon at least a squad of winged angels. I want every appearance of ours to be like a divine miracle."

Wow! Really?!

Tao Tao stared at the book that radiated golden light, her eyes instantly turning into stars. "Can I summon that handsome winged horse? Or that giant dragon with a human face?"

"...As long as you have enough mental strength, I have no objection to you summoning a fortress. The premise is—you must be handsome, holy, and make people want to worship you at first glance."

Zhang Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and then he took out other spoils from his storage space.

"Qingyue, catch it, Chiyu can have an extra meal again."

Zhang Yuan casually tossed a piece of irregular, deep blue crystal that seemed to be compressed from ice that hadn't melted for millions of years. The crystal streaked through the air with a cold light.

[Abyssal Frost Core (C+ Grade)]

Simply by being exposed to the air, the temperature inside the luxurious car instantly plummeted to freezing.

White frost quickly covered the crystal tabletop, and even the hot tea in the teacup that A-Qiang had just picked up froze into ice in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qingyue reacted quickly and caught the core.

The moment they touched, the demon sword in her arms, which had been in a state of "hunger," trembled violently, as if it had smelled an incredibly delicious beast.

"Your swordsmanship is sharp, but you lack the means to hold people back. I don't want you to be left helplessly watching the monsters chasing me next time." Zhang Yuan's voice came through the white, cold air, sounding calm and rational.

Lin Qingyue didn't speak, but silently drew her sword.

The moment the [Abyssal Frost Core] touched the hilt, the demonic sword emitted a clear, resonant ringing sound. The originally dark red blade, as if injected with liquid nitrogen, was instantly covered by a layer of crystal-clear, icy blue.

The blade no longer gleams with the cold light of steel, but is surrounded by a visible "absolute zero force field".

"Good stuff." Lin Qingyue lightly swung her longsword, leaving a lingering icy trail in the air.

Her once clear and cold eyes now reflected the icy blue light of the blade, making them appear even more fierce and intimidating. "With this, no one will be able to cross my defenses and get within three meters of you from now on."
