Shi Feng was a little surprised by Xia Wuyuanâs words. According to his understanding, while one could indeed live in the middle layer once one became a mental strength master, one would first need to clear the Green God Companyâs internal test and review. One couldnât enter the middle layer simply on the assumption that one was a mental strength master already. After all, the middle layer was an incredibly important location for the Green God Company. Even the middle layerâs official residents needed to undergo strict inspections every time they entered and left.
When Qin Baiyi overheard Xia Wuyuanâs words, he was dumbfounded.
Qin Baiyi still remembered that after he became a mental strength master, he had to go through an incredibly troublesome process to gain access to the middle layer. Yet, Shi Feng could enter the middle layer before even receiving the Green God Companyâs recognition.
However, Xia Wuyuan indeed had the authority to make such a decision as the middle layerâs general manager. Even if Shi Feng werenât a mental strength master, Xia Wuyuan could still bring him into the middle layer, just without official residential status.
âOf course. Although you havenât passed our internal test and review yet, the fact that you held your ground against Fu Jiuzhong proves that you are indeed a mental strength master,â Xia Wuyuan said, nodding. He then smiled and continued, âSince you are now one of Yuantian Cityâs Upper Zoneâs mental strength masters, you naturally have to get registered at the middle layer immediately. Or are you telling me you donât want the middle layerâs residential status?â
âOf course not,â Shi Feng said hurriedly. âIt will naturally be wonderful if I can get my residential status for the middle zone right now.â
The resources available to the middle layerâs residents were beyond the reach of the base layerâs residents. Specifically, he could purchase Life Water once he gained middle-layer residential status.
âGood. Letâs go, then!â After Xia Wuyuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a maglev limousine marked with the Green God Companyâs logo descended from the sky. He then entered the limousine together with Xia Qingying and Shi Feng, and the three of them flew straight toward the mountainâs halfway point. At this sight, Han Yifeng and the other corporation heirs aiming to enter the middle layer inevitably grew envious. âBrother Shiâs status is going to skyrocket now.â Han Yifeng was filled with complex emotions as he watched Shi Feng depart.
Han Yifeng had constantly been seeking to gain the privilege to live in the middle layer. Yet, Shi Feng now had this privilege at his fingertips. Shi Feng had even gained the attention of Xia Wuyuan, the middle layerâs general manager. Even after entering the middle layer, Shi Feng would not have to fear being targeted.
What a pity⌠Qin Baiyi also sighed inwardly at this situation.
If the middle layerâs big shots found out about Shi Fengâs talent, they would desperately try to get him as their student; Qin Baiyiâs teacher wouldnât be an exception. Now, though, Xia Wuyuan had gotten ahead of everyone.
A mental strength master, is it? Iâll soon catch up to you!
Unlike Qin Baiyi and the others, when Weiyang Qianhen saw Shi Feng departing for the middle layer, the urge to compete with Shi Feng bloomed in her heart.
On the other side, Shi Fengâs group arrived in the middle layer after going through multiple electronic scans and inspections.
Upon entering the mist-shrouded area, Shi Feng felt a significant portion of his accumulated mental fatigue clear up. The middle layerâs recovery effects were drastically better than those of the large mansionâs environment.
When Xia Wuyuan brought Shi Feng to a mansion flanked by a lush mountainside and a small waterfall, Shi Feng was completely stunned by the environment.
âIsnât the environment here a little too amazing? Itâs at least twice as good as the environment I felt when I entered the middle layer. Even without doing anything, I can probably live up to 160 or 170 years old in such an environment,â Shi Feng exclaimed as he experienced the changes the mansionâs environment brought to his body.
âThis is one of only 20 top-tier mansions in the middle layer. Let alone 160 or 170, a Henglian grandmaster can live up to 200 here without any problems,â Xia Wuyuan said, chuckling. âAs the Green God Companyâs life technology continues improving, the lifespan of the middle layerâs residents will also increase. Eventually, this place will let even ordinary people live up to 200 years old. As for mental strength masters like yourself, you might live to celebrate your 300th birthday.â
âThree hundred?â Shi Feng was a little dazed.
Three hundred years was already enough for a change in dynasties during ancient times.
âThatâs right. Although it is still somewhat difficult to reach such an age in the middle layer right now, the improvement is only a matter of time,â Xia Wuyuan said, nodding. âHowever, if you become a mental strength grandmaster, reaching 300 wonât be difficult at all.â
âAre mental strength grandmasters that strong?â Shi Feng asked in surprise.
With his current physical fitness, even with the support of Life Potions and the middle layerâs environment, he could, at most, live to around 200 years old. He dared not think about living up to 300. Yet, Xia Wuyuan stated that a mental strength grandmaster could currently live up to three centuries. This was incredible.
âOf course! Mental strength grandmasters are much stronger than you think. They can exert 100% control over their brains. To ordinary people, they are no different from gods. The Green God Companyâs creator was also a mental strength grandmaster,â Xia Wuyuan said, awe and envy appearing on his face.
Shi Feng was stunned once more.
The Green God Company was the most influential corporation in the world. The combined influence of every other corporation worldwide couldnât match the Green God Companyâs influence. Shi Feng never imagined that the founder of this corporation was a mental strength grandmaster. This was simply unbelievable.
Seeing Shi Fengâs dazed expression, Xia Wuyuan added, âYou, too, have a small possibility of becoming a mental strength grandmaster. It is for this possibility that I brought you to the middle layer. Only by living here can you better develop your mental strength. Letting you remain in the base layer is simply a huge waste.â
Shi Feng immediately came to a realization when he heard Xia Wuyuanâs words. It was no wonder Xia Wuyuan brought him straight to the middle layer without undergoing the Green God Companyâs test.
When Xia Wuyuan saw Shi Fengâs contemplative expression, he smiled faintly and asked, âYouâre thinking that with your potential, Iâm underestimating you by saying that you only have a small possibility of becoming a mental strength grandmaster, right?â
Shi Feng didnât deny Xia Wuyuanâs guess. In his opinion, if the Tier 5 Concentration standard of Godâs Domain represented the master standard for mental strength in the real world, then the Tier 6 Concentration standard should correspond to the mental strength grandmaster standard.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng was relatively confident that he could get promoted to Tier 6 in his current state. After all, he had an Ancient Godâs Legacy. He even had items that improved Concentration, such as the Soul Water and Crystal of Souls. Raising his Concentration to the Tier 6 standard with the help of these items shouldnât be difficult.
As if having seen through Shi Fengâs thoughts, Xia Wuyuan said, âEven if your Concentration reaches the Tier 6 standard in Godâs Domain, you will still be a long way from becoming a mental strength grandmaster. According to Godâs Domainâs Concentration categorization, the Tier 6 Concentration standard is only equivalent to the half-step mental strength grandmaster standard. Currently, you are still far from becoming a half-step grandmaster, let alone becoming an actual grandmaster. You are, at best, close to the two-star master standard.â
âThe Tier 6 Concentration standard is equivalent to only the half-step mental strength grandmaster standard?â Shi Feng was startled.
Shi Feng had experienced what it was like to have Tier 6 Concentration thanks to the Light of Two Worlds, and the experience was amazing beyond imagination. With Tier 6 Concentration, he could suppress even ordinary Tier 5 existences with his mental oppression. Tier 4 players that werenât at the peak of Tier 4 would even lose consciousness on the spot. In his opinion, this should already be equivalent to the rumored mental strength grandmaster standard.
Yet, according to Xia Wuyuan, that wasnât the case at all. If Xia Wuyuan was telling the truth, then Shi Feng couldnât even begin to imagine how powerful a mental strength grandmasterâs mind was.
âCan you not make it sound as if half-step mental strength grandmasters are very weak? Iâll have you know that even Yuantian Cityâs Upper Zone has only three half-step grandmasters, while some of the other Upper Zones have only two. Our Upper Zone is considered above average already,â Xia Wuyuan said, rolling his eyes at Shi Feng. âAlso, I managed to assign you this top-tier mansion only because of one other personâs recommendation. Otherwise, even with your excellent talent, youâd only get to live in a basic mansion in the middle layer. Youâd need first to become a three-star master to live here!â
âAnother personâs recommendation?â Shi Feng grew curious.
Most of his acquaintances in the Upper Zone lived in the base layer, and he knew none of the big shots living in the middle layer.
âYou know this person. Sheâs the person youâve been secretly investigating. Her ID in Godâs Domain is Phoenix Rain,â Xia Wuyuan said. âIf not for this girlâs recommendation, you wouldâve received a similar treatment to the other mental strength masters.â
âPhoenix Rain?â Shi Feng was surprised. âSheâs also living in the middle layer? What is her current condition?â
Shi Feng had conducted plenty of investigations into Phoenix Rain. After all, Ji Luorong was very concerned about her elder sister. However, he never managed to find any information. He never thought that he would receive news of Phoenix Rain from Xia Wuyuan. Moreover, it was even Phoenix Rain who had recommended him to the middle layer.
âI can only say that it isnât good. Apart from that, there is nothing else you should know right now,â Xia Wuyuan replied, shaking his head. âTo be precise, you still donât have the qualifications to know.â âHer condition isnât good?â Shi Feng fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, âElder Xia, how do I get the qualifications you speak of?â
Originally, Shi Feng didnât hold much hope of acquiring information about Phoenix Rain. This was because Phoenix Rainâs situation definitely involved a huge secret. He was fortunate to obtain even this slight bit of information. But now that he was a mental strength master, if he could help Phoenix Rain, he would naturally do so. After all, Phoenix Rain had helped him a lot previously. Phoenix Rainâs little sister, Ji Luorong, was now an important member of Zero Wing as well. There was no reason not to help.
âIf you make a significant contribution to the Green God Company and elevate your authority to the Three-star High Grade status, you can know a little more,â Xia Wuyuan said after giving the matter some thought.
âSignificant contribution?â Upon hearing that he had a chance, Shi Feng asked hurriedly, âMay I know how many contribution points I will need for that?â
âSignificant contributions cannot be weighed using contribution points,â Xia Wuyuan replied, shaking his head. âIf you want to make a significant contribution, the only available avenue for you right now is driving off the Outerworldâs NPC army in Godâs Domain. If you can do that, you might even be able to meet with her.â
âRepel the Outerworld NPC army?â Shi Feng frowned slightly at Xia Wuyuanâs answer.
The Outerworldâs NPC army was different from the Outerworldâs player army. After all, the player army didnât even have a single Tier 5 player in its ranks. In contrast, the NPC army had Tier 5 NPCs and might even have Demigod-level NPCs. Just stopping the NPC armyâs advance was already a difficult feat. Repelling it was simply impossible for the eastern continentâs native forces.

âYou should stop thinking about this matter and focus on developing your mental strength,â Xia Wuyuan said. âAlthough youâve become a mental strength master and entered the middle layer, Fu Jiuzhong has already become a three-star master. If heâs really intent on targeting you, youâll probably have to spend the rest of your life cooped up in here. Outside of the middle layer, heâll have plenty of ways to deal with you.â
Shi Feng nodded in agreement. Currently, the Infinity Master indeed posed a significant threat to him. If Xia Wuyuan hadnât appeared today, Shi Feng definitely wouldâve suffered severe injuries. Moreover, he couldnât stay in the middle layer or Upper Zone forever, as he needed to manage Zero Wingâs affairs in the outside world.
âElder Xia, may I know how I can purchase Life Water?â Shi Feng asked.
Shi Feng might not be able to leave the Upper Zone right now, but with Fu Jiuzhongâs status and pride, the latter definitely wouldnât stoop so low as to target Zero Wingâs other members. After all, none of Zero Wingâs other members could pose a threat to him. And if Fu Jiuzhong targeted Zero Wingâs other members, the Upper Zoneâs other residents would look down upon him. However, Shi Feng couldnât discount the possibility of Fu Jiuzhong having the Upper Zoneâs various corporations secretly target Zero Wing, either.
Hence, the first thing Shi Feng needed to do now was let Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose recover. With their strength, protecting Zero Wing from Fu Jiuzhongâs henchmen wouldnât be difficult.
