“There are a lot of rewards this time. Let’s start with the top 100.”

“Oh, so only 85 people actually made it to the end without quitting?”

The dean of the Mountain Language Refining Masters Academy, standing on the square, looked at the list of names in his hand and pondered for a moment. “Then let’s start from the 85th, everyone gets a reward.”

Hearing that everyone had a reward, the disciples waiting to receive the award smiled.

Even the onlookers couldn’t help but laugh.

“Everyone gets awards. What else?”

“Everyone gets an award, which means nobody gets a real one.”

Amidst the laughter, the dean raised his hand and held a jade-colored card.

“The 85th disciple of the Mountain Language Academy’s Innovative Artifact Refining Competition, Zhu Yusheng, is rewarded with 30 million origin coins.”

30 million origin coins?

The bustling square instantly fell silent.

30 million?

A young man named Zhu Yusheng stood there, looking bewildered.

“Zhu Yusheng, come forward to receive your 30 million origin coins,” the dean shouted again.

Zhu Yusheng walked forward in a daze, took out his origin coin card, and accepted the origin coins handed to him by the dean.

Even when he returned to his original spot, he still felt somewhat dazed.

30 million?

That’s in my account now?

“84th place, Cheng Juan. Rewarded with 32 million origin coins.

“60th place, Wu Tao. Rewarded with 50 million origin coins.

“Tenth place, Su Teng. Rewarded with 98 million origin coins.

“Ninth place, Zhang Cheng. Rewarded with 100 million origin coins.

“First place, He Juyang. Rewarded with 300 million origin coins.”

After everyone received their rewards, the dean turned around and walked back to the main hall to check the messages flashing on the screen.

In the square outside the hall, everyone looked bewildered.

Did I become a billionaire?

Did he become a millionaire?

Are these origin coins real?

The young man named Zhang Cheng turned around and saw the fear in the eyes of the girl beside him.

He reached out and pulled the girl into his arms. He said in a clear voice, “Yu’er, I’ll go to your house today to propose marriage, okay?” The girl trembled all over, tears shimmering in her eyes.

“Haha, Zhang Cheng, count me in for that wedding toast,” a young man standing nearby chuckled.

He was ranked 15th in this competition, with a reward of 90 million origin coins.

“Together, let’s drink at this wedding banquet.” Standing at the front, He Juyang, who received 300 million origin coins as the champion of the competition, laughed heartily.

Others joined in the laughter, clamoring for a wedding toast.

Unknowingly, this group of relatively young but now immensely wealthy refining masters naturally gathered together.

With the generous rewards from this competition, their futures were completely transformed.

The other refinement masters around looked on with envy but didn’t approach.

They were no longer qualified.

Most of those who participated in the competition were originally refining masters with relatively poor conditions. Now, these refining masters had instantly multiplied their wealth many times over.

Who could have imagined such a stroke of luck?

In front of all the screens, everyone was waiting.

After the Mountain Language Refining Masters Academy of Mountain Language City received ten billion Source Coins and completed the distribution, the second round of reward messages appeared.

“Level eight Refining Master Ma Boyuan of the Alliance of Refining Masters in Qu Ding City innovatively crafted fifth-level battle armor, rewarded with one billion origin coins.”

A modest reward.

Simple words.

For most eighth-level refinement masters, it was impossible to earn a billion origin coins in their entire lifetime.

One billion origin coins.

The reward was given to a level-eight refiner.

It was hard to imagine that a level-eight refiner could actually obtain a huge sum of one billion origin coins.

The rewards from the alliance were actually so generous?

Qu Ding City.

In a mountain city far from the Alliance.

There were two level-nine refiners and three level-eight refiners in the city. One of them was Ma Boyuan, who received the reward this time.

When the message appeared, everyone in front of the Alliance of Refining

Masters’ hall in Qu Ding City looked at an old man with white hair.

Level eight refiner, Ma Boyuan.

He had spent his entire life studying the Battle Armor.

Everyone in the Alliance knew that Ma Boyuan was researching level five

Battle Armors.

They all said that Ma Boyuan was a fool.

Couldn’ t you just refine artifacts for others?

Why do you have to research some new Battle Armor?

Ma Boyuan had spent hundreds of years researching dozens of level-five Battle Armors. Even when he sent them to the alliance headquarters, there was no word from them.

It was said that the Alliance didn’t value his battle armors at all.

“A reward from the Alliance?” Ma Boyuan stood up unsteadily, walked to the light screen, and took out his origin coin card.

Two billion.

This was a huge sum of money he had never seen in his life.

As he withdrew his origin coin card, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

“Elder Ma, what do you plan to do next?” In front of the light screen, a middle-aged refiner asked softly.

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Ma Boyuan’s face. He grinned and said, “I’ll spend all two billion on the Battle Armor research. Is anyone interested?”

Two billion in funding?

One by one, refining masters of fifth, sixth, and even seventh levels all stood up.

The Ma Boyuan of the past was unknown, but the Ma Boyuan of today was famous throughout the land.

To follow him in researching battle armor, regardless of funds or achievements, just saying that one was a member of Ma Boyuan’s battle armor research team in front of outsiders earned endless respect.

This was reality.

“Alliance of Refining Masters, Jade Sandal Workshop, River Market City. Innovative research on forging techniques. Rewarded with 1.8 billion origin coins. ”

“Alliance of Refining Masters, Bai Ju City, Bai Ju Academy’s instructor, Lu Shengkun, has created an armor defense method. Rewarded with a billion origin coins.”

“Level seven refiner Yu Changdao of the Alliance of Refining Masters, Pagoda

City, innovation patent. Reward: 500 million origin coins..”
