Throughout the meeting, William didn’t offer any opinions. Evelyn’s suggestions were excellent, and with her subsequent detailed proposals, no one present raised any objections.
It wasn’t that they were unintelligent, but rather that the Soulmancers present were more focused on their cultivation and the pursuit of strength. They lacked ideas about management and how to motivate others.
Evelyn was somewhat of an anomaly among Soulmancers.
As her cultivation progressed, she discovered a mysterious power within herself waiting to be unlocked, which was actually a drop of blood William had secretly given her long ago.
Moros had also sensed William’s aura on Evelyn, which is why he chose to focus on training her. The witchcraft he taught was specifically designed to activate the power from William’s blood.
Now, Evelyn’s physical strength was among the highest in humanity, and advancing to a higher level of power seemed imminent.
After the meeting, Samuel immediately reported the contents of the meeting upwards, and in less than an hour, a directive was issued.
All treasures from the Doors of Evolution were to be stored at the Arcane Village base. Those who participated in the Doors of Evolution challenge could select any three items from the treasures without any restrictions.
Furthermore, it was announced globally that the Arcane Village base had acquired five hundred top-tier treasures. Powerhouses from around the world could exchange them for Mutated creature crystals.
The exchange rates were similar to what Evelyn had proposed.
Twenty thousand D-grade, ten thousand C-grade, five thousand B-grade, one thousand A-grade, three S-grade, two SS-grade, and one SSS-grade Mutated creature crystals could each be exchanged for one treasure at Arcane Village.
This number might sound staggering, but it was expected that many large Soulmancer organizations would form groups to hunt Mutated creatures. While S-grade and above creatures were challenging to hunt, for high-level Soulmancers, killing A-grade creatures was not particularly difficult. Collecting a thousand A-grade crystals was just a matter of time.
The policy regarding the transmission of secret techniques would also encourage more superhumans and Soulmancers, who were otherwise reluctant to contribute to saving the world, to join the official ranks. This was because it offered them the opportunity to learn secret techniques and powerful magic circles from the masters.
After the policy was released, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
The world’s strongest had gathered.
Those who participated in the Doors of Evolution challenge were essentially the top ten powerhouses of Earth, along with Walker, Amy, and William.
Allowing them to choose any three items from the warehouse also leveraged the value of these treasures, as these individuals represented Earth’s top combat power.
Choosing treasures from the warehouse?
William just laughed.
The items he had placed in the Doors of Evolution had been taken out and now they were inviting him to pick three?
As for Amy, she probably didn’t care much either, as she already possessed numerous treasures.
William was well aware that among those items, some were of even higher quality than the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian.
Over five hundred items, and William had just tossed them in carelessly.
To him, these items were just ordinary, just as the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian seemed ordinary to him.
Top-tier treasures?
Even the weapons used by the Cosmic Entity guardians in their battles were only a few good ones. In today’s world, the strongest weapon was probably the Sword of Soulbreaker that Alice wielded.
“I’m not going in to pick!” Walker was straightforward this time.
He had gone through the Doors of Evolution with Amy, and unlike her naive approach, he had already chosen some items during their adventure.
Amy, being young, thought only of handing over the treasures to Commander Samuel to earn praise.
But Walker had already chosen fifteen items during their adventure, stuffing various weapons, gems, and secret technique books into his spatially enhanced underwear.
To put it bluntly, the items currently in the Arcane Village base were what he had left behind.
Besides the items from the tower, Walker had also acquired a robot and a black Grosse Messer.
He was the biggest beneficiary of this Doors of Evolution challenge.
Although he was also committed to saving the world, in his view, these treasures were earned with their lives by him and Amy. Whether to hand them over depended on his mood,after all, he had given so much, picking a dozen items first wasn’t too much, right?
Only a child as rich as Amy would hand over all the treasures.
Samuel probably guessed that Walker had kept some treasures, but that was quite normal. He still said with a smile, “Go ahead, pick some more, maybe there are some treasures you haven’t discovered.”
Walker gave him a look. That statement…
Wasn’t very subtle, clearly implying he had already chosen.
At his age, he really didn’t know the art of subtlety!
“Alright then! I’ll pick some more!” Walker wasn’t shy. Maybe because of the rush last time, some treasures were missed. Picking three more wouldn’t be a loss, right?
Samuel’s words weren’t meant to blame or mock Walker.
In his view, even if Walker had kept some treasures, it was only natural. Besides, Walker had been diligent and upright as the head of the inspection team, a young man full of zeal.
Since the opportunity was there, letting him pick some more was only fair.
Now that it was out in the open, everyone present understood. Keeping secrets would only make things awkward.
“Let’s go! Together!” William’s interest was piqued too. It would be interesting to see his collection from over the years.
Amy excitedly said, “I like a little plate in there!”
William laughed, “Then why did you hand it over?”
“I said I would give everything to Commander Samuel,” Amy replied seriously, her eyes looking expectantly at Samuel.
The message was clear.
Aren’t you going to praise me?
Samuel finally caught on, his face breaking into a smile, “This operation owes a lot to Miss Amy. We’ve already reported it, and we will make a special certificate, a medal, and an honorary certificate for Miss Amy. I hope you don’t find it too modest.”
Amy pouted with a smile, her eyes squinting, “Of course not! And a medal too! That’s great!”
The child was thrilled!
A certificate, a medal, and an honorary certificate might seem worthless to many adults, but to a simple-minded child like Amy, they represented recognition and appreciation of her efforts.
She cared more about the spiritual reward than the material one.
Perhaps it could also be said that Amy never lacked treasures,she mostly just wanted others’ praise and recognition.
“Take me to see that little plate you mentioned,” William said, not even remembering what plate Amy was talking about. He had tossed so many unwanted items into the mix.
