Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"I'll handle it," said the proxy team leader, his eyes lighting up. "Captain Bai, those people need to collect things from the warehouse, and I'm in charge, right?"

"Yes..."

"Great! I'll do it!" The proxy team leader seemed quite eager, even licking his lips with an impatient look.

With such enthusiasm from the other party, Bai E naturally wouldn't disappoint him. "Alright, I'll leave it to you."

Immediately, Bai E began to "come to life."

The bio-components that had burst forth earlier and the 8000 units of steel materials had been piled up in the system space all this time.

Virtual items never provide the same satisfaction as having the actual materials in front of you, and this time Bai E intended to fill the warehouse to the brim, making it truly worthy of its name.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Accompanied by slight ripples of spatial distortion, large quantities of finished steel material materialized out of thin air and were systematically stacked on the concrete floor of the warehouse.

The high-quality steel materials reflected the warm yellow light illuminated in the warehouse, the metallic sheen showing an oily glint that suggested their reliable quality.

Two henchmen from Grey Iron City watched the scene with their mouths agape in astonishment...

The materials themselves were secondary; although having them pile up before one's eyes was impressive, their value did not amount to much for any high-ranking official in any city.

What truly surprised them was the way Bai E took out these materials—Spiritual Energy storage!

In their minds, the ability to conjure materials out of thin air from the void could only be done in one way, through Spiritual Energy storage.

And the capacity of Spiritual Energy storage wasn't measured by the same value judgment in human eyes; in the realm of Spiritual Energy, the only factor involved in Spiritual Energy storage was "size."

Large swathes of steel that could take up half the warehouse appeared before them, not only appearing massively and simultaneously, but this continued at a pace that filled much of the warehouse.

Observing Captain Bai's relaxed demeanor, it seemed that if it weren't for the limited space of the warehouse, he could have produced even more.

Just how monstrous must the level of his Spiritual Energy strength be?

No wonder even their own team leader couldn't suppress this Captain Bai from Blackwater City with their strong Spiritual Energy. They wondered what kind of high-ranking official Captain Bai would be considered in their own military camp...

But with such a person around to solve their problems, it should be a piece of cake, right?

"It's done," Bai E said, clapping his hands in satisfaction.

Filling half the warehouse didn't even use up a small fraction of the steel he had obtained, and these large chunks of steel could be used in various aspects of the construction after further processing.

Whether it was for building this secret base or constructing Black Street, they would come in handy.

Bai E set a relatively low exchange price for it but restricted it to non-tradeable binding to individuals, with immediate expulsion from the organization upon any discovered trading activity.

"Let's leave it at that for now, I have things to do, so I'm off."

Although the mission was assigned to players, Bai himself was also considering his breakthrough in Spiritual Energy, so naturally he intended to check it out.

If the Underground Colosseum didn't have any hidden troubles, or just a few small fries, it would be fine.

But if there was something big...

Then he would give it a try.

"Uh..." The boy who wanted to say something as he watched Bai E climb the stairs got pulled back by the proxy team leader.

"What are you doing?"

The boy's lips moved nervously. "I wanted to ask Captain Bai about our Stabilizing Liquid."

"No need to ask; Captain Bai knows what he's doing," the proxy team leader waved dismissively, his aged face exuding convincing maturity.

"Huh?" The boy looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Captain Bai has even arranged work for us; he can't just be using us temporarily." When the regular captain didn't switch to a wisdom type persona, she usually acted as the core brain of the team. Although not extremely cunning, she had some experience.

Captain Bai's treatment of them clearly showed that he saw them as comrades with whom he could continue the journey.

Therefore, naturally, as a leader, he would also consider the welfare and lives of his team members.

Just trust and it's settled.

Maybe, that was also their own team leader's choice...

"It seems Bai and the others are off to do something big," said Nova, her eyes sparkling bright, "Should we go check it out?"

"..." The proxy team leader's expression stiffened. "We're new here and don't understand much; isn't that a bit too rash?"

"It's because we don't understand that we need to go out and get in touch more!" Nova said, hands on hips, full of righteous vigor.

"But Captain Bai said before the details of Grey Iron City are settled, it's better not to show our faces..."

"Then we cover our faces!" Nova grabbed a head covering from beside her. "Look, this is what Bai prepared for us; he wants us to go out and explore on our own."

They were planning on going out, and just then there happened to be head coverings at hand—what were the chances?

The proxy team leader looked on resentfully, his heart noting that just a moment ago there had been none.

It was you who materialized them with your Spiritual Energy storage skills, wasn't it?

...

Between seven and eight in the evening, the Underground Colosseum reached its peak of excitement.

No matter the day, it always seemed to be a scene of cacophony and hormonal explosions.

Any terrible mood could be unleashed without restraint here, and the same went for the violent urges—others' flesh-and-bone skirmishes could be the outlet for a complete venting of aggression.
