Chapter 616

: Returning from the Goods Procurement from the Five Great Ninja Villages, Longhu Mountai

Longhushan, main square.

The morning sun shone down, warming the uneven, rutted open space.

Li Ang stood on the platform, with a red banner with gold lettering hanging behind him...

"The First Annual Staff Recognition and Loot Distribution Ceremony of the Adventurers' Guild of the Heavens".

The banner was made by Darcy; the handwriting was crooked and messy, but it was festive nonetheless.

The audience was packed with people.

The Quanxing trio occupied the center of the first row. Gong Qing had his legs crossed, Xia He was touching up her makeup, and Gao Ning stared blankly at the podium.

Tony, dressed in a custom-made suit, stood in the second row and whispered to Banner.

A lot of people from the Avengers also came.

Steve, Natasha, Barton, and Coulson sat around Tony and Banner.

The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei sat on the right with three disciples, eyes closed in meditation, a faint golden aura swirling around him.

The entire Guardians of the Galaxy are present.

Quill is arguing with Drax about who did the coolest job in this operation, Rocket Raccoon is cleaning his gun, and Groot is spacing out.

"Ahem." Li Ang cleared his throat and picked up the microphone.

"First of all, thank you all for your outstanding performance in the Naruto instance."

"The five great ninja villages were cleared out in six hours, the Ten-Tails turned into a potted plant, and Kaguya signed a labor contract."

"The reanimated Uchiha Madara was used as a punching bag and beaten for more than a dozen rounds."

"These achievements would be recorded in history books in any other dimension."

A round of applause and whistles erupted from the audience, mainly from Quill and Darcy.

"Now, let's get down to business."

Li Ang snapped his fingers, and the holographic screen behind him lit up, displaying detailed data.

"The total rewards for this Naruto World series of dungeons are..."

The numbers popped up.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, then it erupted.

"2.34 billion value points?!" Gong Qing jumped up from his chair.

"This includes the conversion of loot from five dungeons, the valuation of the primordial chakra energy attached to the Kaguya Contract, the advance payment for the permanent resource output of the Ten-Tails Giant Tree, and the commission received by Loki from his resale business in the ninja world."

Li Ang counted on his fingers.

"After deducting transmission fees, equipment wear and tear, and my 20% commission, the total amount available for distribution is 1.68 billion."

He turned to the next page.

The allocation plan is as follows.

"First place, the Quanxing trio."

Li Ang looked at Gong Qing, Xia He, and Gao Ning as he read this.

"I completed all five dungeon runs without fail, defeated over three thousand ninjas, emptied five gold vaults, and captured Nagato, Konan, and Kabuto alive."

Total allocation: 420 million value points.

Gong Qing's mouth stretched all the way to his ears.

"In addition," Li Ang picked up a gold medal from the stage, with four large characters engraved on the front.

"The Quanxing Trio is awarded the title of Best Demolition Team of the Year."

There was thunderous applause.

Xia He took the medal, turned it over to look at the back, and saw a line of small characters engraved on it...

"You dismantled it quickly and cleanly. Do it again next time."

"Second place, Tony Stark."

"Perfect attendance, providing full tactical intelligence support, contributing countermeasures against space-age abilities, capturing Obito Uchiha alive and seizing his Sharingan, and designing and constructing energy harvesting infrastructure."

"Distribution: 360 million value points."

Tony raised his coffee cup to indicate that he had received it.

"Third place: Zhang Zhiwei and the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"Distribution: 300 million value points."

The old celestial master opened one eye, nodded slightly, and then closed it again.

The subsequent distributions were read out one by one: the Guardians of the Galaxy, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, Frank, and Banner. Each group received between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of value points.

When Li Ang read out the name "Vision," he paused for a moment.

"Vision."

"Yes." Vision stood up.

"You punched through five of Kaguya's alternate dimensions and used physical means to persuade the progenitor of chakra to sign a labor contract."

Li Ang's expression was very serious. "How would you evaluate this contribution?"

He then pulled out another medal.

The medal is silver and has three words engraved on it: One-Punch Man.

Below that is a line of smaller print: Consolation Prize.

The audience burst into laughter.

Vision accepted the medal and a smile curved his lips.

"Thank you, boss. I really like it."

After the dividend distribution was completed, the atmosphere in the square became frenzied.

With 1.68 billion value points spent, everyone present saw their account balances balloon to a terrifying number. If they didn't draw cards this time, they would be doing their wallets a disservice.

"Boss! Turn on the machine!" Gong Qing was the first to rush to the gashapon machine.

"Line up, line up." Li Ang opened ten gashapon machines and lined them up in a row.

What followed could only be described as a "Double Eleven shopping frenzy".

Gong Qing spent 80 million and won 80 consecutive rounds.

Xia He and Gao Ning each spent 50 million, maximizing their preferred settings.

Tony spent 100 million, focusing entirely on enhancing technology.

Zhang Zhiwei spent 60 million, fully favoring the cultivation system.

His three disciples pooled their money to draw ten lots, and they also gained something.

Zhang Chulan drew thirty shots, while Feng Baobao watched from the side, occasionally reaching out to help him press the button.

The situation was even more chaotic at the Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket Raccoon and Quill almost got into a fight over who would go first, but Gamora eventually slapped them both into submission.

The background music from the gashapon machines rose and fell, and gold, silver, and blue lights flashed alternately, illuminating the entire square in a colorful display.

Li Ang sat on the platform, watching the upgrade progress bar on the system panel jump rapidly.

72.3%.

74.1%.

76.8%.

Account balances are climbing at an incredible rate due to commissions and spending rebates.

He took a sip of his cola and looked very satisfied.

The revelry lasted for nearly two hours.

The square was filled with the sounds of tearing open eggshells, and cheers and wails rang out alternately.

Gong Qing drew a black greatsword capable of tearing through space.

Xia He unleashed a crown that amplified her spiritual power, and after putting it on, her pupils turned into an eerie purple-gold color.

Gao Ning put away a mirror shield that could reflect energy attacks.

Tony's $100 million investment was worthwhile, yielding three sets of nanoscale material formulas and a high-purity space folding chip. Jarvis has already begun modeling in the background.

Zhang Zhiwei drew two bottles of pills to aid in Core Formation and an ancient sword manual. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to peruse them.

Despite the excitement, everyone noticed one thing.

Loki hasn't drawn it yet.

He spent a whole week as a "wandering sage" in the Naruto world, tricking the five great ninja villages into handing over one-third of their real estate rights.

He also extracted fifty more supplies from Obito Uchiha. With his commission and the extra reward from Li Ang, his account balance was…

210 million value points.
