Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

175: Entering the war on topInside the Lei Group’s top-floor office, symbolizing absolute power, everything had completely changed.

The luxurious collectibles that once belonged to the Lei father and son had been entirely cleared out, replaced by several massive, faintly glowing blue holographic projection screens.

On the screens, countless data streams scrolled rapidly like waterfalls—the core lifelines of the Lei Group, a vast commercial empire: global fund flows, industrial layouts, personal networks, intelligence channels…

In the face of the hacker Li Nan’s BUG-level technical prowess, the empire’s firewall was rendered useless; all top-level permissions and secrets were unreservedly presented to the new owner.

Lin Fei leaned back comfortably in the spacious chairman’s chair, propping his chin with one hand, as he read the intelligence briefing compiled overnight by Li Nan and presented by Xu Zhengyang.

“Boss, the Lei Group’s foundation is even deeper than we imagined,” Xu Zhengyang said with a hint of shock and excitement. “It’s not just a commercial group; it’s more like a massive intelligence and material transit hub covering the global gray areas.

Through it, we can mobilize resources from most parts of the world and obtain all the intelligence we want in the shortest possible time.”

This was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

Controlling the Lei Group meant that the Lin siblings now possessed an indestructible global commercial and intelligence fortress in the real world.

Any force daring to harbor ill intentions against them in the real world would be exposed by this inescapable net and met with a thunderous counterattack before they could even launch their offensive.

“Well done,” Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction. “Have Li Nan continue to dig deeper and clean up all the shady accounts and threats that can’t see the light of day.

From today onwards, the Lei Group belongs to Lin.”

“Yes!” Xu Zhengyang responded excitedly.

Immediately, he pulled up another, even more important piece of intelligence.

“Also, Boss, as per your instructions, Li Nan has utilized the Lei Group’s global network of secret servers and intelligence to thoroughly decipher and analyze the trial content of the 21st-floor Slaughter Space.”

On the holographic screen, the scene shifted.

A magnificent ocean, colossal ships racing with a thousand sails, islands of varied styles, and that world-shaking event… the Summit War!

“The 21st-floor trial content is a super-large battlefield world—‘Marineford Summit War’.”

“Upon entering this world, trial participants will be forcibly assigned to a faction by the system. One side will be the Navy Headquarters, and the other will be the Whitebeard Pirates.”

Xu Zhengyang’s voice became serious.

“The main mission for the Navy faction is: successfully execute ‘Fire Fist’ Ace, and capture or kill as many of the Whitebeard Pirates and their subordinates as possible. The higher the mission completion, the higher the final evaluation.”

“The main mission for the Pirate faction, conversely, is: successfully rescue ‘Fire Fist’ Ace and defeat the Navy Headquarters. Similarly, the higher the mission completion, the higher the evaluation.”

“It’s especially important to note,” Xu Zhengyang emphasized, “this is an open battlefield world, and a large number of Contractors will enter simultaneously for each trial.

This means we not only have to face those terrifying, world-destroying powerhouses from the original story but also guard against the Black Hand from other Contractors.”

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Lin Fei’s eyes.

Interesting.

This was no longer just a simple dungeon raid, but a large-scale melee combining powerful characters from the story and Contractors!

This was truly the stage for the strong!

“Understood. What do you say, sisters?”

Lin Fei turned to look at Lu Zhifei and Lin Mengzi, who had already processed the intelligence.

Lu Zhifei nodded slightly, the perfectly round Twelve-Pointed Star Divine Weapon halo behind her clearly indicating that this war would be the best training ground for her to further familiarize herself with and perfectly control the power of the Twelve Divine Weapons.

Lin Mengzi’s reply was even more direct, “If you want to fight, I will fight.”

“Alright then.” Lin Fei’s gaze swept over Xu Zhengyang. “You, come along too.”

“Me?!” Xu Zhengyang was stunned, then overwhelmed by immense joy. “Yes, Boss!”

To fight alongside his Boss again—this was the honor he had always dreamed of!

The four stood side by side, simultaneously issuing the entry command to the system in their minds.

After clearing the previous floors, entering the Slaughter Space would be much more convenient in the future; they could enter directly without going through the trial tower.

This was a privilege of the pioneers.

【Contractors Lin Fei, Lin Mengzi, Lu Zhifei, Xu Zhengyang, confirming team entry into the 21st-floor trial world.】

【Faction matching… Matching complete!】

【Warning: Detected Contractors Lin Fei, Lin Mengzi, Lu Zhifei are excessively powerful, especially Lu Zhifei, who carries an over-spec world-class armament. To maintain basic world-line balance, you will bear more hatred from the Pirate Group!】

【Faction: Navy Headquarters!】

【Initial Identity: Navy Headquarters Direct Special Combat Force · First Defense Squad!】

【Direct Superior: Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral · Onigumo!】

【Mission Briefing: You have been conscripted as a reserve unit for the Navy Headquarters in the Summit War, responsible for vigilance and defense around the execution platform.

Tomorrow, ‘Fire Fist’ Ace will be publicly executed. ‘

Whitebeard’ Edward Newgate and his pirate crew are expected to launch a full-scale war against Navy Headquarters ‘Marineford’ in one day.

Please prepare.】

A flash of light, and the world spun.

When the four opened their eyes again, a salty sea breeze, mixed with the scent of bloodshed and rust, assailed them.

In their ears, there was the uniform sound of military drills and the somewhat sharp cries of countless seagulls.

They were currently on a massive, military-style steel fortress plaza.

Around them were tens of thousands of Navy soldiers, dressed in uniform white Navy uniforms with the word “Justice” printed on their backs.

Their expressions were solemn as they patrolled, and the entire fortress was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.

In the distance, the towering Headquarters building, symbolizing the Navy’s highest authority and absolute justice, was clearly visible.

And in the very center of the plaza, an execution platform, cast from steel and appearing particularly cold and cruel, had already been erected.

A Navy officer they didn’t recognize, yet who also exuded a powerful aura, was holding a document, looking at them expressionlessly.

“Are you the newly arrived First Defense Squad?” The officer’s tone carried a hint of scrutiny and disdain. “I am your temporary liaison officer.

According to orders, your defensive sector is position three, to the left and rear of the execution platform.

Your direct superior, Vice Admiral Onigumo, will be inspecting soon.”

“Remember your duties, hold your positions, and don’t cause us trouble.”

With that, the officer left without looking back, as if even a glance at them was a waste of time.

A flicker of indignation crossed Xu Zhengyang’s face, but in front of the three big shots, he dared not speak much.

Lin Mengzi and Lu Zhifei remained calm, seemingly indifferent to this arrangement.

Lin Fei, however, simply raised his head, narrowing his eyes, and glanced at the empty execution platform.

Defense Squad?

That’s fine.

It’s perfect for being a spectator and clearly seeing all the actors entering the stage.
