"Chen Yuan, I've seen everything that happened in this round of assessments."
The girl in the black veil turned the light towards Chen Yuan, a faint smile on her face: "Although Nuolan also contributed, she is still far inferior to you."
"So, the reward I promised earlier—" she paused, "will be calculated at the highest standard, a total of 40,000 Mixed Yuan Units."
"You can receive the cash directly, or you can choose to exchange it for treasures of equal value," the girl in black veil added. "You can take your time to consider it before entering the initial universe."
Chen Yuan nodded calmly: "Understood."
"As for Nolan, and you all," the girl in black gauze glanced at Nolan and the others, and after a moment's thought, said, "Although your performance was mediocre, since you have successfully entered the core level, my promise still stands."
She smiled and said, "From now on, all our debts are wiped clean."
Upon hearing this, Nuolan and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing joy.
It's clear that the amount of funding they received from Hei Hou was quite substantial.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic," the girl in black veil said. "Now that you've entered the core layer, it's time to head to the initial universe and spend thirty years cultivating there."
"According to company regulations, each branch will provide spaceships to transport you to headquarters within one year, and then you will enter the initial universe together."
At this point, the girl in black veil paused briefly before continuing, "This time, I will personally escort you to our Qianwu branch."
"After all, only my spaceship can reach headquarters within a year."
"With the performance of my spaceship, it will take about eleven months to reach headquarters," the girl in black veil said with a smile. "So we will officially set off in a month. In the meantime, you can stay on your respective planets and prepare."
Chen Yuan and the others nodded in agreement.
"In addition, I'll briefly explain the rewards and privileges you receive after becoming a core member."
Next, the girl in black veils detailed the various benefits for core members: initial points, access to the headquarters treasury, and the virtual dimension Rain Mountain, etc.
A few minutes later.
"Okay, that's about it."
The girl in black veil looked around at everyone: "Any further questions?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"Alright." The girl in the black veil nodded. "Dismissed."
After the figure of the girl in black veil disappeared, Nuolan suggested, "Everyone, I'd like to go check out Rain Mountain first. Lord Heiyan Marquis just mentioned that we have a new place to stay there. I'd like to know what it's like. Would you like to come along?"
He looked at everyone, and Chen Yuan was the first to respond: "Let's go together."
Even if Nuolan hadn't mentioned it, Chen Yuan still planned to go to Yuxiang Mountain to take a look.
After all, as Hei Hou just said, their vault access would only be fully activated after they were assigned accommodations at Yuxiang Mountain.
Seeing that Chen Yuan agreed, the others also expressed their agreement, and then they were all teleported into the Rain Mountain plane.
On a bustling street in the public area, Chen Yuan and his group suddenly appeared.
"Is this the virtual dimension of headquarters?"
Nolan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so spectacular, and there are so many people!"
"This area belongs to the 'public area' of Yuxiang Mountain."
Chen Yuan calmly explained, "Our residence is in the 'Apocalypse Zone,' which is still ahead."
"How did you know?" Nolan asked curiously.
"The company sent an explanatory email to everyone, you just haven't read it yet," Chen Yuan replied.
"Email? Ah, it really exists."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, the group quickly checked their emails using the AI assistant and indeed found the detailed introduction sent by the company.
Soon, Nuolan and the others finished reading the email and gained a basic understanding of the situation at Yuxiang Mountain.
"I see." Nolan smiled and said, "Then let's go and head to the Apocalypse Zone."
So they headed towards the post-apocalyptic zone, and ten minutes later, they arrived there.
Passing through an invisible barrier, what came into view was a dense array of high-rise buildings. Everyone except Chen Yuan was stunned.
"This... is the post-apocalyptic zone?"
Nolan couldn't help but gasp: "I've never stayed in such a terrible place in the Ganwu branch."
"How can we carry out our daily cultivation in a place like this?"
Standing three meters tall and with a burly build, Tongshan shook his head and sighed, "Let alone cultivation, with my size, I'd be lucky to even stand up straight inside."
"After all, the Apocalyptic Secret Realm is the lowest level in the core layer, so it's normal for it to have such living conditions."
Having read the original work, Chen Yuan had anticipated this, and said calmly, "The Black Dragon Mountain branch where I used to work also had tens of millions of Level 3 elites, and their living conditions were similar to here."
He glanced at everyone and said, "If you want a better environment, then work hard to climb up the ladder. After all, the company doesn't need geniuses who are content with the status quo."
"Well said!"
Suddenly, a burst of crisp applause came from not far away.
The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, handsome young man smiling at them. The aura emanating from this man far surpassed that of the others; he was at least a Domain Lord level being.
"You guys are the geniuses who were recently promoted from the branch, right?"
The handsome young man laughed heartily and said, "You can call me Taoming. I'm your senior, a member of the Domain Lord level in the Apocalyptic Secret Realm."
"At the same time, they also handle the daily management of the 'Dim Light Courtyard' area."
"Oh, the Twilight Courtyard is the area you will be moving into. It was assigned the moment you were promoted."
"I see." Chen Yuan and the others suddenly realized and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Taoming."
"Haha, just call me by my name." Tao Ming waved his hand. "As members of the same post-apocalyptic secret realm, there is no distinction between our statuses. There is no need for bowing or using honorifics."

"Come with me, I'll show you where you're staying."
As Tao Ming spoke, he led everyone over a series of densely packed high-rise buildings, finally arriving at the entrance of a courtyard that looked somewhat like a residential community composed of high-rise buildings.
"This area is the Hunguangting compound," Taoming said, turning to the group. "Considering you all come from the same branch, your residences are all within this compound, just with different building numbers."
"After all, the occupancy rate of the Hunguangting is quite high, and it's impossible for all of you to live in one building."
Tao Ming led everyone to the central garden of the Hunguangting residential complex, pointing to the tall buildings in all directions and saying, "Starting from here, this is Building Number One, then Number Two, Number Three—"
"Next, remember your room numbers. Chen Yuan, you are room 1815 in Building 1. Nuolan, you are room 1815 in Building 3." Tao Ming announced the room locations of the group and then said, "Alright, I won't see you upstairs. I know the environment here is not as good as your branch's accommodations. Just get used to it."
"You can come to me with any everyday problems you may have in the future."
After saying this, Taoming nodded to everyone and then left.
"Then I'll go upstairs and check out the rooms first," Chen Yuan said first. "See you later, everyone."
"See you later."
The group said their goodbyes in the garden and went to their respective floors.
Room 1815 in Building 1 is where Chen Yuan lived.
The door uses a fingerprint recognition system. Chen Yuan pressed his finger on it, and the door opened with a "beep".
Upon entering the room, Chen Yuan looked around and found that the interior space was not small, about 200 square meters, with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as a cultivation room that occupied the largest space, a full 100 square meters.
Well, that is indeed very small for a star system.
However, Chen Yuan was not picky about the environment. He first let Irene take over the room's smart system, and then rearranged it according to the style of Earth Villa.
Although it cannot be completely replicated, the overall atmosphere is quite similar.
Following the usual practice at Earth Villa, the computer was placed in the training room. After Chen Yuan turned it on, he directly clicked on the Treasure Vault option.
It takes time; a dense array of entries pops up on the screen, a dazzling array of rare treasures and powerful secret techniques.
Dazzling.
But Chen Yuan's gaze first fell on the points column:
Chen Yuan: Member of the Post-Apocalyptic Secret Realm
Points: 10000
