In a dimly lit dwelling, Sky Shadow angrily smashed a glass of water. He was panting heavily, his gaze coldly intense. His fists were clenched so tight that his knuckles had turned blue. His guess was right–Revenge Shadow Rider was Feng Yi. He had just found Feng Yi's Heavenly Communication Number in Mu Tou's messages that afternoon. That kid always mentioned being unable to reach his so-called boss, but today he had surprisingly made a heavenly call. Could this mean that the often-absent Revenge Shadow Rider had returned?

What troubled Sky Shadow was not the issue of the Shadow Rider but rather the increasingly widening gap between them. Before, he had thought he stood a chance against the Revenge Shadow Rider, but now, he feared his odds of victory were only about 30%, even with the use of a powerful Mecha.

Damn it, he was not convinced, not convinced, not convinced! "Damn, not good, just at this time!" Sky Shadow's eyes filled with bloodshot veins and his expression suddenly became horrendous. He hastily stood up and staggered to the bedside table to retrieve a bottle of medicine. He threw several pills into his mouth erratically. As the medicine took effect, his condition gradually eased after a moment...

Sky Shadow, who was panting heavily at this point, had a particularly severe breathing problem... His disease was due to a genetic issue inherited from his family. Any large emotional fluctuations could trigger a series of chain reactions, though they rarely occurred in everyday life. However, there was not yet a cure. It was said that a breakthrough to a certain level of strength could easily break the genetic lock and thus escape the troubles and entanglements brought by the disease.

Years passed quickly, yet no miracle had ever truly occurred within those centuries. Was it just a rumor? It was a grand era in Poland. Legend had it: a fate driver also known as Sky Shadow's ancestor had set a precedent by breaking the genetic lock with his strength.

Before that, there was a necessary condition, which was power! Only with power could one possess everything. Power was something that Sky Shadow had always longed for. He would do anything to improve himself, whether it was for enemies or himself. Sky Shadow suddenly laughed. His silhouette gradually disappeared at the end of the Gravity Room...

Feng Yi suddenly sneezed. Was someone talking about him? As an atheist, ‌he was drenched with sweat, no, make that stinky sweat. He found his sixth sense to be inexplicable. The level 100 test that he had just taken didn't involve any combat, but it was even more thrilling than any other. Several times he had to rely on luck, but it couldn't be denied that luck was also a part of strength.

That was quite a close call. Patting his heart, Feng Yi decided to go out for some fresh air–right, he had heard that there was a branch of the Bounty Tribe near here. When he was free, he could go there and have a look around. Who knows, he might even pick up a mission? Making money was not easy in this chaotic time. With that thought, Feng Yi didn't want to stay in the hectic market area for another second. With a few leaps, he disappeared instantly.

Although this was a bustling area, in the time of war, one would hardly see people having a hearty drink in the alleys of the federation, not even on the Capital Planet. People came and went in a hurry, seemingly faster than usual. Who would have known that the long-gone Revenge Shadow Rider would become the media focus again? This gave the countless people who stayed at home all day discussing the direction of the war a new topic of conversation.

By the river, in the square, even the bustling people couldn't help but slow down and turn their eyes to the image projected in open-air of the replay of the level 100 test. Revenge Shadow Rider, a creator who had broken countless myths, no longer belonged to the federation that day. He belonged to the whole world. Today, the nameless battle god had become a new-generation internet celebrity again.

The sister duo Charlotte and Little Wu had a bit of a tough time though. They just finished watching the explanation of Revenge Shadow Rider and before they could cut the production, someone beat them to it. The problem was in these war-torn times, money was not money, life was like a dog's, and they were considered refugees. They arrived at the Capital Planet and hadn't even managed to connect their cross-region bank cards before they were faced with the possibility of living rough.

After all, the phone cards they were using were just ordinary civilian cards. They only supported calls within the local star domain and did not support Heavenly Communication. Communication on the Capital Planet was impossible and even basic calls couldn't be made. Therefore, they had to figure out a way to make money.

Charlotte looked as deflated as a burst balloon, devoid of energy. Although watching Revenge Shadow Rider's live broadcasts was uplifting, after viewing, she and Little Wu had to face the harsh realities of life.

"Little Wu, how much money do we have left?"

"Not too much, not too little, exactly 20 Federal Coins."

"20 Federal Coins, I think that should be enough to live on for a few months, right?"

"A few months, if we eat frugally and pinch pennies, it should last us half a year even under normal circumstances, but times are different now. In these times of war, even basic commodities are expensive."

"You're right, for now, it would be better for us to find a taxi."

"Finding a taxi would be great, but the problem is there are no taxis." Little Wu shrugged.

Charlotte looked around and felt the despair creeping in as she felt the weight of the big and small bags she was carrying. If she had known that the North Station was so sparsely populated, she would not have rushed to this part of the city outskirts immediately after disembarking from the shuttle, carrying such heavy stuff. Now to save money, not only could they not find a taxi, but they were also exhausted. Looking at the straight road ahead under the summer sun, even the infrequent breeze was hot. The occasional passing vehicles were either carrying people or on their way to carry people, and none of them would stop no matter how they tried to flag them down.

As for Little Wu, she seemed nonchalant. This girl was usually soft on the outside but tough on the inside, and she held her own in critical times.

After discussion, the two of them decided that Little Wu would watch the bags while Charlotte went to find a taxi. 20 minutes later, she finally arrived at the edge of the suburbs, and from a distance, she could see a towering retro-style high wall.

"Bounty Tribe…" Seeing the seven big words, Charlotte read each word slowly. She seemed to have found her savior. God, could this be the famous Bounty Tribe? She had only seen this guild on the light screen television before because it was still rather new and hadn't fully spread across all the federation's star domains. Despite its brief existence, the Bounty Tribe had an excellent reputation.

Some say the Bounty Tribe had luck to thank for its present standing, while others call it a miracle. In the end, good reputation and money were inseparable. During the early stage, maintaining a good reputation required a large sum of money, but now it was different. With the Bounty Tribe growing stronger, many members choose to accept assignments that have disproportionately low returns.

And why? The answer is simple: honor point accumulation. On reaching a certain level of accumulated points, members can enjoy advanced member permissions. The points can also be exchanged for equipment that is normally hard to get like a Stopwatch, an Armored Jeep, or a Combat Suit, and other powerful weapons. After all, official authorities have recognized the privilege of advanced members to carry weapons. It's incredibly cool to talk about out in the world.
