Global Superpower: I Control All Elements

From now on, as long as I can get my hands on beast cores and demon cores, I will be able to quickly enhance my cultivation.

“Right now, I’m still no match for a Level 4 fierce beast. With my current strength, I still can’t protect Chuchu.”

Qin Feng felt a sense of urgency.

In three days, Chuchu would be heading out of the city for patrol duty, where she might encounter fierce beasts.

If ordinary people were compared to wild animals, those in the Strengthening Realm were like fierce beasts, and Elementalists were like demon beasts.

The Strengthening Realm was divided into four stages: Initial, Mid, Late, and Peak.

Fierce beasts were categorized into four levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4.

A Level 1 fierce beast was equivalent to someone in the Initial Strengthening stage, Level 2 was equivalent to the Mid stage, and so on.

“If I could get another beast core, I could break through to the Peak stage of the Strengthening Realm.”

Qin Feng licked his lips, feeling unsatisfied.

He thought the system was a bit stingy for not giving him more beast cores.

“Ding! God-tier training mission activated!”

Normal Difficulty: Achieve 100% wind-attribute assimilation within 3 days. Reward: one divine-grade storage ring.

Intermediate Difficulty: Achieve 100% wind-attribute assimilation within 1 day. Reward: one divine-grade storage ring and one Level 4 lightning-attribute beast core.

Advanced Difficulty: Achieve 100% wind-attribute assimilation within 2 hours. Reward: one divine-grade storage ring, one Level 4 lightning-attribute beast core, and one divine-grade lightning-attribute enhancer.

“Ding! Reminder: The host can only choose one difficulty level, and once chosen, it cannot be changed! Failure to complete the mission will result in no rewards!”

“This…”

Qin Feng hesitated.

The Level 4 beast core had only allowed him to reach 84% wind-attribute assimilation. Based on this conversion rate, he would need to devour at least one more Level 2 beast core to reach 100%.

Hunting a Level 2 or higher fierce beast within one day outside the city wasn’t that difficult. However, what he needed was a wind-attribute beast core.

Wind-attribute fierce beasts were rare, and encountering one wasn’t easy; it was purely a matter of luck. Therefore, choosing the Intermediate Difficulty had a high chance of failure.

As for the Advanced Difficulty, obtaining a Level 2 wind-attribute beast core within 2 hours seemed even more impossible.

“Should I just choose Normal Difficulty?”

Qin Feng frowned.

He wasn’t willing to settle for less.

The rewards for the Advanced Difficulty were clearly the most attractive.

“Ding! Please make your selection within 10 seconds. Failure to choose will be considered as giving up. 10…9…8…7…6…”

“Wait…”

Qin Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened as if he had thought of a solution, and without hesitation, he chose the Advanced Difficulty.

After making his selection, he hurried home.

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Feng arrived at his residence, where the room was still dim.

Chuchu was no longer in the room, and it was unclear where she had gone.

Qin Feng’s time was precious.

He quickly walked to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet, and rummaged through the clothes at the bottom.

Underneath the clothes were two wooden boxes.

One of them was the relic left by Zuo Li for the siblings.

The other one contained the daily savings of Qin Feng and his sister.

Qin Feng took out both boxes.

He opened Zuo Li’s box, which neatly contained 50,000 Tong Coins*.

[*Local currency]

That was Zuo Li’s compensation.

For refugees, the compensation for death was only 50,000 Tong Coins.

If they were ordinary citizens, the compensation would be 100,000; for residents, it would be 200,000.

Qin Feng rummaged through the lower layer of Zuo Li’s box and found over 10,000 Tong Coins, which was all of Zuo Li’s savings.

He then opened his own savings box and found more than 6,000 Tong Coins, which was the siblings’ entire savings.

Altogether, they had over 71,000 Tong Coins.

Qin Feng took 70,000 and left over 1,000 Tong Coins for future expenses.

“Still short by 30,000 Tong Coins!”

It turned out Qin Feng’s plan was to buy a pre-existing Level 2 wind-attribute beast core.

The market price for a Level 2 beast core was 100,000 Tong Coins.

“But how do I make up the 30,000 difference? Oh, right! Once I become a powerful citizen, I can receive government stipends every month, and I’ve heard they’re quite substantial…”

There were three ways to become a powerful citizen.

The first was to be a direct relative of an Elementalist, allowing for automatic promotion.

The second was to contribute significantly to the base, with a set number of contribution points leading to promotion.

The third was for those in the Body Strengthening Realm who showed potential to become an Elementalist, allowing for automatic promotion.

Qin Feng qualified under the third option.

With this in mind, he secured his money and left in a hurry.

He had to complete the mission within 2 hours, or else he wouldn’t receive any rewards.

After leaving home and going downstairs, Qin Feng caught a bus into the city.

An hour later, Qin Feng arrived at the central square.

The square was crowded with people.

This was the busiest place in Yunyang City.

Among the crowd were refugees, commoners, residents, and the rare privileged citizens.

As for the high-ranking Elementalists, ordinary people rarely saw them.

Qin Feng had no time to linger and headed straight for the municipal hall.

Inside, there were quite a few people, some handling various tasks, while others, like Qin Feng, were there to upgrade their status.

As soon as Qin Feng entered, he caught the attention of some women.

His handsome features were even more refined after cultivation, giving him an ethereal glow, making him extraordinarily attractive.

Even though he was dressed simply, he was still eye-catching.

“Wow, that young man is so handsome!”

In the crowd, a voluptuous woman’s eyes lit up.

Near the entrance, a pretty female staff member approached him proactively.

“Sir, what business would you like to conduct today?” she asked warmly, wearing a professional smile.

“I’d like to upgrade my status. Which window should I go to?” Qin Feng asked.

The staff member smiled and said, “Sir, to upgrade to commoner status, please go to window 1 or 2. For resident status, window 3.”

“What about privileged citizen status?” Qin Feng asked.

“Privileged citizen?”

The staff member was surprised.

There was a stir in the hall as people turned to look at Qin Feng, their reactions ranging from shock to jealousy, with most showing envy.

The privileged citizen class was a special privileged class, similar to the knight class of the medieval era, considered a small nobility.

In Yunyang Base City, with a population of 30 million, there were only a little over 20,000 powerfulful citizens.

Ordinary people had to show respect and greet rights citizens, as it was the law.

Even if a privileged citizen killed an ordinary person without reason, they would face lighter penalties and never face a death sentence.

However, becoming a privileged citizen was incredibly difficult, and most people would never have the chance in their lifetime.

In fact, the municipal hall would only see one or two such cases per month.

“Sir, the upgrade to powerful citizen status is handled in the VIP lounge. Please follow me.”

The female staff member’s attitude became respectful.

Despite Qin Feng’s young age, she showed no hint of neglect.

Anyone qualified to become a privileged citizen was no ordinary person, and she didn’t dare offend him.

With that, Qin Feng, followed by the envious gazes of the crowd, went with the female staff member…
