Chapter 790 - 790 553 The Stasis that Impacts the Entire

Chapter 790: Chapter 553 The “Stasis” that Impacts the Entire World!_1 Chapter 790: Chapter 553 The “Stasis” that Impacts the Entire World!_1 Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Colin, who had become an unfeeling task machine, snapped back to reality from the relentless tasks and found that most of the time required for the task had already elapsed.

“Just one more week… less than that.”

Colin glanced at the task timer and then checked his progress.

Over the course of a month, he had not only secured one million Points but also exceeded the amount significantly. Old Master Wu had helped him obtain nearly five hundred thousand Points, and he had borrowed almost two hundred thousand from senior employees. Adding to that the weekly official trades with the company, as well as trades with “World Code -13” and other official transactions, there were also the Points that Colin actively accumulated from daily tasks.

In total, he had amassed over 1.2 million Points…

What surprised Colin was that, from the various “summoning-type” props, he had actually managed to borrow around one hundred and thirty to forty thousand Points!

Although there were those two stubborn ones who would rather die than relent, refusing to lend no matter what.

But many more “props,” upon hearing of Colin’s predicament and persuaded by his earnest reasoning and courteous treatment, eventually generously emptied their coffers to support him substantially.

Colin expressed his gratitude by saying, “Perhaps their assistance will fade from memory, but their contributions will never be forgotten!”

However, so many Points were still not quite enough.

Until now, with just the last seven days or a little less than six days left, he was looking at a gap of about one hundred thousand Points…

“This ‘Time Stasis’ from seventy-nine to eighty-nine percent, why is it so expensive? Aside from a dozen or so Golden Mission Vouchers, it’s over four hundred thousand Points just for Points alone…”

Colin let out a ‘hiss’ as he looked at the Points requirement.

Fortunately, other than this part of the Points requirement, the other props had all been repaired to 69% as required by the task.

Meanwhile, as these formerly tattered props were repaired, they began to reveal, more or less, the strange and mighty powers befitting their “golden names.”

Opening the “Storage Room,” he saw a pile of props faintly glowing.

Even Colin couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of suffocation rising within him.

“It seems these things were probably derived from the abilities of First Level Containment Subjects far stronger than the ‘King of Mad Sounds,’ hmm, mid-level First Level or upper-level?”

Colin mused and felt they were just shy of “Level 0,” but also significantly stronger than the usual “Ancient Gods” he encountered.

They were certainly very powerful entities…

It’s just unclear where the company collected so many of these level Containment Subjects.

In addition, the only other non-Golden Card golden artifact, “Shield of Fair Judgment,” although not weak in its aura, stood among the other items in the “Storage Room.”

It was hard to say whether it looked a bit dimmer due to being outnumbered by the Golden Cards or if it genuinely fell short of the “Card Divine Kingdom” series.

“There are also differences among the golden artifacts.”

Colin took a look, then withdrew his gaze and started looking through the parchment, picking out a “team-type” task from those selected by his employees and casually calling on personnel to start on it.

Such tasks were usually never applied for…

Yet, with Colin leading, things started to change.

Thirty-person complex tasks that would normally take half a year to see a few volunteers were now filling up in mere seconds.

For the senior employees and some of the mid or low-level staff,

the past two months had been a roller-coaster ride of tasks.

High-level tasks that people wouldn’t dare look at twice for fear of being forced into became approachable.

And every time they performed, with Brother Shunzi behind them, they could band together and attempt the tasks to train themselves…

Even if they failed to complete the task, triggering some kind of “inevitable death” rule,

Brother Shunzi could easily break it now…

For the first time, the employees experienced the thrill of having a powerhouse lead the group.

In just two months, people’s comprehensive abilities improved faster than at any previous time.

Then, as a relentless “task completion” machine for a few more days, on the last day of the task requirements,

Colin had nearly enough Points, with just a small shortfall left. However, after carrying out “The Descent Project,” doing some second-hand dealer business, and borrowing a bit more Points…

“Finally, it’s enough.”

Colin’s eyes brightened, and he let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the four hundred thousand Points in his hand…

Some were his, others were borrowed from colleagues. At first, borrowing Points gave him some mental burden, but now… with the growing debt, he became numb.

Staking all his possessions, all for the chance to become C Level…

If he failed, he was prepared to face the consequences!

Taking a deep breath, he took out the shimmering “Time Stasis.”

After a quick confirmation that the Points and the vouchers matched the requirements…

“Upgrade!”

As the thought crossed his mind, all the Points and Golden Clearance Certificates were withdrawn, leaving Colin feeling an inexplicable emptiness.

Then “Time Stasis” began to float, blooming a golden light in mid-air.

The light, accompanied by the sound of a ticking ‘tick-tock’ reminiscent of a heartbeat, pulsed steadily…

And it became faster and sharper.

“Just don’t let me hear ‘repair failed’ now,” Colin thought, stirred by the emotion, feeling life would be unbearable if that happened.
