By the time they returned to the headquarters, it was already broad daylight.

Xiaoyu stood at the warehouse door, holding a stack of account books, her face a little pale.

Are you injured?

"External injury".

Xiaoyu looked him up and down, then shoved the account book into his arms.

"Take a look at this."

Lin Feng turned two pages.

A detailed list of the confiscated items from the Bai family's home.

Forty-three thousand seven hundred and twelve spirit stones.

Eighty-seven bottles of S-grade pills. Sixty-three weapons and magical artifacts of various kinds.

Three mining permits. Two auction house operating rights.

One B-level secret realm management right.

Several real estate contracts.

Total book value: 63 billion.

It's more than the 50 billion he previously estimated.

"The Bai family is really rich." Xiaoyu's tone was somewhat excited.

"They're ours now."

"Yes, it's ours now." Xiaoyu snatched the ledger back from his hand. "The problem is, the main altar currently doesn't have the capacity to operate such a large asset. The mines need people to watch over them, the auction house needs people to manage it, and the management rights of the secret realm require annual maintenance fees to be paid to the military. Iron Eagle's few dozen people alone can't sustain it."

Lin Feng looked at her.

Xiaoyu flipped to the last page of the ledger, where an organizational chart was drawn.

"I didn't sleep last night; I came up with the whole plan."

She pointed to the top of the architecture diagram.

"Alliance Chamber of Commerce"

"Establish a commercial entity under the name of the Beast Taming Alliance to manage all assets. Outsource the mining to local mining teams, and take 30% of the profits. Keep one auction house for ourselves, and rent out the other to collect rent. Use the management rights of the secret realms to exchange resources with other forces."

Lin Feng listened without interrupting.

"The pills and spirit stones will be divided into two parts. Sixty percent will be kept for the alliance's cultivation and war reserves, and forty percent will be put into circulation in the market to generate cash flow. The magic weapons and treasures will be screened; those that are usable will be kept, and those that are not will be auctioned off."

Her finger traced a circle on the architecture diagram.

"If it operates smoothly, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce can maintain a stable net income of around one billion per month."

Lin Feng closed the ledger and handed it back to her.

"You decide."

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.

"all?"

"Everything. Finance, HR, operations—you're in charge. Iron Eagle will cooperate with you."

Xiaoyu opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

She looked down at the account book in her hand and remained silent for three seconds.

"OK."

No nonsense. Let's get started.

Lin Feng turned and walked towards the hall.

"Where are you going?" Xiaoyu asked from behind.

"Northwest. I haven't claimed the first prize in the national competition yet, and the coordinates of the S-level unexplored secret realm are being held by the organizing committee. I need to go get them."

"Your injuries..."

"unimportant."

Xiaoyu didn't try to persuade her anymore.

She knew her brother's temper better than anyone else.

"be safe."

"Um."

Lin Feng returned to his secluded cultivation chamber and gathered up the shattered Starfall Nine Tribulations Blade.

Of the thirty-six, twelve were broken, and the remaining twenty-four were damaged to varying degrees.

He put the intact throwing knife into his storage ring, and didn't throw away the broken fragments either, putting them in as well.

The Crimson Gold Spear is not usable for now; we'll wait until we find a suitable blacksmith.

As they exited the secret room, Iron Eagle ran over.

"Boss, are you really going alone? I'll go with you..."

"No need. You stay here and follow Xiaoyu's instructions."

Iron Eagle scratched his head.

"Should we listen to Sister Xiaoyu?"

"Yes. Just do what she tells you to do, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes."

Lin Feng summoned the earth dragon and set off in the northwest direction.

The organizing committee for the national competition was located next to the Northwest Military Region's headquarters.

The coordinates of the S-rank unexplored secret realm will be the first prize, and the recipient must be present to sign for it, along with a military exploration agreement.

The earth dragon flew low along the mountain range, avoiding official routes, which saved it a lot of trouble.

On the way, Lin Feng had the Fierce Vulture and Iron Rhino continue to farm martial arts points on the outskirts.

The journey of 2,700 kilometers took most of the day.

As evening fell, the earth dragon landed on a small town on the outskirts of the Northwest Military Region.

Lin Feng found an inn to stay in and first treated his injuries.

The broken ribs in his chest have been repaired by the indestructible golden body, but the internal organ injuries will take time to heal.

He sat cross-legged, using his qi and blood to return the displaced organs to their proper positions, and also straightened out the chaotic qi and blood flowing through his meridians.

When I opened my eyes, the communicator vibrated.

It was sent by Xiaoyu.

"The Alliance Chamber of Commerce registration is complete, and Iron Eagle has already taken over the two auction houses. On the mining side, we've contacted three local mining teams and are currently negotiating profit-sharing ratios."

It's efficient enough.

Lin Feng responded with an "Mmm" and put the communicator down.

The next morning, he went to the organizing committee.

The organizing committee was located in a gray building next to the military compound.

When Lin Feng went in, the young woman at the front desk was eating sunflower seeds.

Upon seeing his identification, sunflower seed shells scattered all over the ground.

"You must be... Raymond Lam?"

"Receive the award."

The little girl frantically pulled out a document and ran to the back to call someone.

Five minutes later, a middle-aged military officer came out from the inner room.

Upon seeing Raymond Lam, his expression became somewhat complicated.

"Comrade Lin Feng, we've been saving your first prize for you."

He pushed a document and a sealed metal box over.

"Coordinates of an S-rank unexplored secret realm, number 037, located deep in the Northwest Wasteland. Detailed latitude and longitude coordinates and activation instructions for the realm's entrance are included here."

Lin Feng took the box, opened it, and glanced inside.

A jade tablet engraved with coordinates, and a military permit for clearing out a secret territory.

"Sign it."

The middle-aged military officer handed him a pen.

"Once you sign it, it's yours, but there's one thing I need to tell you beforehand."

He paused for a moment.

"An S-class unexplored secret realm, the military has no prior exploration data. What's inside, how high the danger level is, is all unknown."

Raymond Lam signed his name.

He put the jade pendant into his storage ring, took the license, and went out.

The earth dragon was waiting outside the town.

Lin Feng flipped himself up, took out a jade tablet from his storage ring, and used his mental energy to read the coordinates.

The northwestern wilderness is 1,400 kilometers away from here.

The earth dragon raised its head and glanced at the northwest horizon.

Lin Feng patted the dragon's neck.

"Walk."
