[Mission Rating: Excellent.

[Reward 1: 50 gems.

[Reward 2: 1x Game Voucher.

[Reward 3: 10,000 Achievement Points.

[Reward 4: Book of Revelations - Divination Chapter.]

…

As expected, the rewards were far less grand than the first high-priority mission completed.

Well, the divination chapter was something new, but Hiro wasn\'t in a hurry to figure it out.

At the moment, he had 85 gems and over 20,000 achievement points, which was a great haul in and of itself.

It seems that the standard reward is gems, points, and a game voucher. Hiro thought to himself and asked, "Are all games capped to the equivalent of Tier-4 power level?"

[Notice: Games purchased through achievement points aren\'t restricted to this power level.]

Hiro asked another question, "What determines the level of restriction?"

[Notice: Your native world doesn\'t tolerate—or rather can\'t accommodate power levels above the stipulated limit.]

In other words, the limit of power in this world was the lowest rank of Tier-4.

Despite the nourishment from other dimensions for thousands of years, this limit seemed to be the peak of this world.

Was this the main drive behind exploring the New World? Are the Big Three searching for a place that could accommodate their power?

The more Hiro thought about it, the more he felt like it made sense.

Expectantly, Hiro brought up his Legend of Babylon\'s character details.

…

As expected, Babylon\'s ultimate offensive spell—Inverse Nova, was learned by him.

All of these spells were rewards from the War Priest, and if Hiro wanted to learn more spells with greater diversity, he would need to visit the side quests and chain quests.

Unfortunately, Hiro wasn\'t that interested since these spells had no quantitative influence on Hiro in the real world.

However, here comes the next issue.

What game shins he get next? Also, how to spend the gems and achievement points?

The system shop offered him almost everything, which made choosing even harder.

As for the gems, Hiro was torn between saving them for the lottery or using them to improve the spirit array in the cave dwelling.

"Forget it… Since I can\'t develop for now, then I won\'t make a choice."

Shaking his head, Hiro stood up and stretched in the study. He opened the PARA app on his watch and sent a message to his private thread with Theo.

[Babylon]: I\'m ready.

Then, he checked the time and muttered to himself, "It\'s about time for the press conference. Ei, show me the live broadcast for the S-technology press conference."

"Affirmative," Ei\'s voice echoed in the study.

A large flat screen on the wall blinked to life, and a ten seconds countdown was displayed on the colorful screen.

10… 9… 8…

3… 2… 1…

…

S-gear Technology Press Conference, Sciatis Holdings Conference Hall.

Wearing a black business suit and long, conservative pants, Arabella approached the podium under the flashing lights of the camera shutters.

Her once cascading purple hair was bundled up in an empress-style high bun, revealing her slender neck and beautiful side profile to the audience.

Once she reached the podium with the large whiteboard in her backdrop, the reporters went silent, save for the occasional snapshots.

Arabella smiled. "Thank you for attending the official release announcement for our newest S-gear technology. In the future, Sciatis Holdings Limited\'s main industry will revolve around the digital world—specifically the gaming market.

"With neutral conductivity as the core of our technology, the newly developed S-gear VR Capsules provide peak comfort, realistic immersion, and health care to allow our users the convenience of a prolonged gaming experience.

"Our technology is directly connected to a secured, algorithm based cloud server to prevent cheating, hacking, or trolling in our future games—yes, you heard correctly.

"S-gear technology will develop exclusive games in the future. To prevent counterfeits, reverse engineering, and likeminded menace from proliferating the market, we specifically developed a threefold source code to be installed partially within our exclusive games, the capsule\'s operating software, and the cloud network\'s algorithms.

"Even if our competitors were to reverse engineer our hardware technology, they won\'t be able to replicate our progress in terms of neural conductivity. We hereby announce that our technology is ahead by at least a decade from the current VR gaming market!

"Now, I will answer any and all relevant questions from the interested parties; corporations, patents fees, outsourcing, all of it can be discussed in the open for the world to see—Sciatis Holdings Limited has nothing to fear, nothing to hide… and the world has nothing that can compare."

The hall immediately exploded with shouting and raised hands.

…

In the study, Hiro smiled brilliantly. His phone rang and he answered.

"Haha, you\'ve really surprised me, Mr. Sciatis," Hiro heard the Handler talking on the other side.

This man was one of the few who knew of Hiro\'s relationship with the Sciatis Holdings company.

The security and privacy regulations made sure that as little information as possible trickled from the Handler to the outside world, and COC was no exception.

They only knew that he was responsible for "Company X" but had no access to the information of his client.

Well, the general manager of the Nexus Branch had access to this information, but such a little company won\'t draw his attention yet.

He responded faintly, "It\'s just luck."

Suddenly, Hiro got an idea on where to spend some of his points. At the moment, Arabella had the {Business Acumen III} skill, which cost him 800 points back then.

He could further upgrade it now to increase Arabella\'s abilities on the negotiation table.

At the moment, this level of business skill isn\'t sufficient to grant her a country-wide perspective on business.

At best, level 3 skill was comparable to small business on a city or a county scale, which was insufficient to handle the upcoming negotiations with business tycoons and behemoths.

Without hesitation, Hiro stated spending to upgrade.

1,600 points…

3,200 points…

6,400 points…

…

Arabella\'s skill was successfully upgraded from {Business Acumen III} to {Business Acumen VI}, costing a total amount of 11,200 points.

Almost half of his achievement points were gone just like that, but Hiro didn\'t regret it.

Arabella\'s current business acumen is sufficient for her to go toe-to-toe with international entrepreneurs on equal footing, and he could rest at ease with leaving his budding business empire in her hands.

Hiro had 10,320 achievement points left, and he decided not to touch these points until he returned from the Odin family\'s expedition.

Hiro didn\'t know that Arabella had blanked out for about five minutes, almost causing a catastrophe in the conference hall.

Luckily, it was the open discussion segment and everyone was busy discussing in hushed voices, not paying attention to Arabella on the podium.

"What are your plans for the future of your company, Mr. Sciatis? Do you wish to hire a business consultant from our firm?" The Handler asked politely.

Hiro remembered that he was on a call with someone. He gathered his thoughts, went silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need, I\'m only interested in the banking services of the COC, and I don\'t wish to get your organization entangled with my business in the future."

If he hired their business consultant, they would get access to sensitive information of his company through god knows how many loopholes.

At the moment, they\'re only permitted to keep track of his cash flow and monetary transactions—nothing more and nothing less.

Furthermore, Hiro was confident that with Arabella\'s current abilities, she was equal if not more qualified than the COC\'s top business consultants in the Nexus Branch.

Like the power tiers, the levels of professionalism in the system are separate into I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX; from level 1 to level 9.

On the other end of the call, the Handler went silent for a moment before laughing lightly.

If it was someone else, they might have tried to persuade Hiro not to make a clear line between himself and the COC, but this Handler was a little weird.

He didn\'t try to convince Hiro, not even half heartedly, as he immediately complimented Hiro for his foresight.

"Your company enjoys great future prospects, so your choice is the correct one… Hmm, I\'ll help you on my end and close all the loose ends. This way, no one will hound you from this side for your company\'s shares in the future.

"And… good luck, Mr. Sciatis."

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The Handler hung up.

…

Hiro looked at his phone, speechless. Shaking his head with a smile, he muttered under his breath, "This Handler is really something."

As Hiro lamented comically, he heard Ei\'s voice.

"Master, you\'ve received a reply from Mr. Odin on your private thread. The expedition team has been formed, preparing for departure after midnight."

Hiro blinked. Their team couldn\'t have been on standby just waiting for me, right? Well, it makes sense—I\'m too OP after all.
