The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

These talented young people from Beijing all have impressive backgrounds.

The advantage of having powerful connections is that you can use those connections to get free meals and drinks.

Looking around, Song Gua realized that it seemed he was the only one in Glory City who didn't care.

Actually, yes, there were, bandits, of course.

In fact, Tong Zhan, Long Tan and his group also felt that it was related to the Song family, the mysterious Song family!

It's unclear what kind of force this mysterious Song family is disguised as; in any case, there's no force openly called the Song family.

On their first day in Glory City, this hundred-person trial group pretended to be bandits and fought with Shi Jia outside the city. After entering the city, they did not do anything serious and just played around everywhere.

And it's all free to play.

If you want to eat there, this person's family owns a restaurant in the city.

I want to sleep. That person's family owns a hotel in the city.

If you want to play, your guild alliance has entertainment venues in the city.

They are all outstanding juniors from various powerful groups. Why should they have to spend money to bring some friends over to sit at their own home?

It's all done by scanning your face.

The 100-person trial group has been upgraded to a 100-person travel group.

Others enter Glory City for reputation.

However, these people all have someone behind them who sponsors their reputation, so they have virtually no sense of urgency to gain reputation.

So, before they knew it, they were still playing the next day.

On the third day, they were still playing.

Day ...

Song Gua is not like these idle fellows.

As the leader of a bandit organization and a self-made millionaire, he has an extremely strong drive for success.

He only played with Tong Zhan and the others for three days before getting down to business.

First, raise your level.

Now that Song Gua has his primary identity, it's perfectly reasonable for him to enter Glory City, and his level can be a bit outrageous.

Because there are experience books here, leveling up by consuming these books is generally considered to be much faster than leveling up manually.

Therefore, in just three days, Song Gua adjusted his external level to Lv40.

Tong Zhan's casual glance scared him half to death.

"Holy crap! Song Gua, you're level 40?!"

"I've eaten the book."

"You'd need to eat at least... one times one equals one, one times two equals two, one times three equals three... a lot of books, right?"

Longtan tapped his reflective bald head.

"Idiot! At level 30+, he only needs to consume 3% to 2% of the books at a time. He must have consumed over a hundred, maybe even two hundred!"

The other tourists were stunned.

"More than a hundred books???"

One experience book costs 500 reputation points, so even 100 books only amount to 50,000 reputation points, which isn't an exaggeration for major powers.

The problem is, it's only been a few days!

That means you bought more than one book a day.

Everyone knows the rules for purchasing experience books.

The more the same person buys on the same day, the more expensive it becomes, with each price increase by 50%. Anyone with good math skills can easily calculate that the final price will be exorbitant.

Buying a hundred books in just a few days isn't about how much reputation you have; it's about whether you have so much reputation that you can waste it like this.

Song Gua smiled.

"Have you forgotten that I've been on many dungeon leaderboards for the longest time, a year and a half ago, and I'm still number one with the most reputation?"

Tong Zhan was still puzzled.

Even so, your reputation probably isn't enough!

Song Gua will no longer discuss this topic.

"Hey, Zhu Xin, didn't you say your guild even opened a movie theater in the city? I want to see a movie today, take me to check it out."

Song Gua's attitude of changing the subject made everyone present understand his meaning.

Yes, the mysterious Song family!

It was the Song family that gave Song Gua his reputation!

This Song family is too ruthless. If they want to promote their descendants, they can't just squander resources like this!

anyway.

No powerful force in the city claims to be from the Song family.

The fact that the Song family can so easily give out so much reputation shows that they don't earn reputation through daily activities in Glory City like ordinary forces.

They must have opened shops in the city, just like the top powers, to earn everyone's prestige.

People couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of force that was actually a shadow force of the Song family.

Suddenly, the Song family became even more mysterious.

It wasn't just the young talents in the capital who made this connection; others also had the same thought after seeing Song Gua's rapid rise in rank.

Mysterious, so very mysterious.

Once you level up your character and your primary identity leaves Glory City, Song Gua can then naturally go and run the level 40 dungeon.

As for whether to adjust the displayed level to 45, after all, his actual level is already 48.

Song Gua felt it was better not to.

It can give the world a small shock to the Song family.

But if it's too shocking, it won't work.

Make sure you get the dimensions right.

Besides, a 20-year-old level 40 professional is already astonishing enough, enough to make anyone think that this person is not simple and should not be easily provoked, otherwise they may get into trouble.

The rapid rise in Song Gua's ranking stimulated the 100-person tour group.

They all became serious, starting to run quests, grind in the arena, and participate in the Star Beast competition with their families and guilds.

They sometimes even fight over the Star Beasts.

After all, they belong to different factions, and no matter how well they play, they cannot disregard the interests of their respective factions.

Professionals are such strange beings.

In the city, they drank and chatted happily.

Outside the city, fighting tooth and nail for resources has resulted in bloodshed.

The rules of the world are as they are, and the only way for people to become stronger is through such bizarre means.

The bandits' headquarters.

Song Gua is back.

In Glory City, Song Gua was naturally in a clone at this moment.

"Ever since the Xichuan Madman incident, our feud with the Shi family has become irreconcilable. The Zhao family is dead, the Shi family must rise. Today, we determine the organization's next strategic goal—to bring down the Shi family!"

Song Gua stood among the bandits and delivered an important speech.

Huozi asked a question.

"Is it to avenge the brothers who were killed by Shi Yang?"

The Song hexagram is very serious.

"More than that, their vision is too narrow. The Shi family manipulates officialdom and abuses power. If such a family continues to grow in power, they will surely become a scourge to our Huaxia region. We have a duty to eliminate them! To restore order to officialdom and give the people a peaceful and just world!"

At this moment, Da Congming delivered a document.

"Boss, we've found out the location of the Shi family's resource warehouse and their external defenses, but we don't know if it's complete... What are you guys talking about?"

Song Gua took the documents and coughed twice.

"Ahem, well, you can continue to have the intelligence department investigate. If necessary, you can plant undercover agents to infiltrate and investigate from within."

The group of clones squinted at Song Gua.

"The vision is too narrow..."

"Let's restore order to officialdom..."

"Give the people a new world..."

Song Gua put on a stern face.

"If you have any objections, don't participate in the next time you allocate resources from the family warehouse."

The clones instantly changed their expressions.

"That old thief was brilliant!"

"That old thief is awesome!"

"Our bandits are getting more and more popular, yay!"

"We have so many fans all over the world, we can't let them down! The grass on the Zhao family's graves is getting so tall, it's time to do something funny again!"

Song Gua suppressed the noise in the room.

"As before, I'm just offering a guiding principle; I don't yet have a specific plan on how to eliminate the Shi family."

The Zhao family was not even in the same league as the Shi family in the past.

"Completely overthrowing such a large family is no easy task; a long-term plan is advisable."
