Clarification: My previous phrasing may have caused ambiguity. When I stated, "Thus, you can only obtain two randomly appearing exclusive rewards from the Golden Side Quests!" the intended meaning was that out of those eight major options, only two exclusive rewards specific to the Golden Side Quests would appear randomly. If the evaluation is higher, it might be three or four, and so on—it did not mean Fang Senyan could only choose two.

Facing the questions from his two teammates, Fang Senyan paused for a moment, then smiled: "Since Zi and the others managed to break through the extreme trial and successfully become Colonists, why shouldn't I be able to?" Fang Senyan spoke lightly, casually, yet his presence exuded a powerful, condescending confidence!

Hearing this, the dark-skinned man froze. He licked his thick lips, swallowed hard, then slapped his gun thoughtfully, let out a hearty laugh, and said to Reef: "Well said, Boss Reef, you go first! The Chief isn't one to stand on ceremony; if he says we can choose, don't be polite!" Reef was shaking violently from head to toe. He took a deep breath and managed to say to Fang Senyan with difficulty: "Then... then I choose the Ekru High-Energy Injector." After speaking, Reef seemed completely drained of strength, stumbling back two steps, even having to lean against the wall with his eyes closed to support his weight! As soon as Fang Senyan selected this item, a gleaming silver syringe materialized in his palm, which he then smiled and handed to Reef. Reef's hand trembled so violently that the syringe could barely rest steady in his palm!

Fang Senyan completely understood his mood. He placed the syringe firmly into Reef’s trembling hand, then squeezed Reef's fingers closed to make sure he gripped it tight, and whispered softly: "It’s all over now. What you have is a new beginning." Reef stared blankly at the vial, then put it away, took it out again, put it away, took it out again, and tucked it away once more, as if questioning whether this was all a dream. But the next second, he spun around, covered his face with both hands, and pressed his forehead silently against the nearby stone wall, tears pouring uncontrollably through the gaps in his fingers.

Fang Senyan shrugged helplessly, signaling his understanding. After all, Reef had sacrificed so much and borne so much pressure to become a formal Colonist. He then tilted his chin toward the dark-skinned man: "Your turn. Have you decided? Or do you need some advice from our fellow Colonists?" Mogansa laughed heartily: "I've decided. I choose Reward E." Fang Senyan blurted out: "Huh? I thought you’d choose the reward for the individual achievement... What?? Are you sure you want Reward E?" Mogansa nodded as he faced Fang Senyan's surprise: "Yes, Reward E. One Cross of Honor medal." Fang Senyan shrugged, selecting Reward E: "If that's what you think, then so be it." This Cross of Honor medal was only the size of a common coin and didn't look significantly different from a regular medal, except for a faint golden sheen covering it. Fang Senyan casually tossed it to the dark-skinned man, who played with it for a moment before tossing it back to Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan snatched it out of the air and shot him a questioning look.

The dark-skinned man lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and then said: "Chief, after you return this time, you can be promoted directly to Lieutenant, right?" Fang Senyan nodded: "Correct. I have 92 Merit Points now. 70 points is enough for Lieutenant." The dark-skinned man spoke seriously: "During the review summary for this world, even if our evaluation isn't high, with your Legend rating and the bonus for being a Silver Team Leader, getting three Merit Points should be no problem. That brings you to ninety-five Merit Points, and 100 points will promote you to Captain! You might achieve promotion in just one or two more worlds!" "So... this Cross of Honor medal is specifically for you to exchange! Chief! You must realize that one rank above Captain involves a qualitative leap, moving from the Officer ranks to the Field Officer ranks! That's a huge hurdle! The Merit Points required for that transition alone will likely need you to reach around 170 points!" "Honestly, it's impossible for every world to offer chances to accumulate Merit Points like the Space Battlefield, nor will we frequently encounter Golden Side Quests that allow for such clever shortcuts! For you, this Cross of Honor medal is worth a full seventy Merit Points!" Fang Senyan looked at the dark-skinned man for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Thank you." The dark-skinned man shrugged, then suddenly grinned mischievously: "I'm actually thinking of myself too. If your military rank rises quickly, the team level rises quickly too... and naturally, the team skills will improve accordingly. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with our team skills, so your rapid promotion benefits me greatly. That's why I say thank you, thank you." In fact, Mogansa was also taking action to secure his own standing within the team. He could clearly see that MD also held considerable admiration for Fang Senyan, and there was no ruling out the possibility of MD joining the team. This would naturally pose a challenge to Mogansa's current position, as there were already plenty of high-output damage dealers. Mogansa letting Reef choose first, and then proactively suggesting the medal for Fang Senyan, was actually a case of borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha! He used Fang Senyan's reward from the Golden Side Quest to curry favor with him! In reality, he suffered no personal loss and gained a good reputation in the process. However, this was also an unconscious act of self-preservation on the dark-skinned man's part; having had to survive in harsh conditions since childhood, he wouldn't have made it this far without some cunning and political acumen. Fang Senyan suddenly walked over to the clear, magically alluring small lake, bent down, dipped a finger into the water, and placed it on his tongue to taste it. A smile immediately spread across his face, much like a child completing a jigsaw puzzle who finally finds the last piece and beams with joy. He then looked toward Old Murbo, who was bandaging his wounds nearby, and smiled: "My friend, I never mistreat my own people. I saw your brave actions earlier, and I am sorry for the loss of your kin, but I cannot bring them back to life. However, you are still just an ordinary Shaman, aren't you? Are you interested in becoming a powerful Shaman favored by Eywa, like Moa?" Old Murbo had risked his life when he lunged at that giant spider earlier. That was why Fang Senyan said this to him. Upon hearing the last sentence, the old man, who had been listless from blood loss, suddenly looked revitalized! "I am very interested!!!" Fang Senyan pointed to the long, purple limb slowly undulating in the lake: "Cut off a section of this thing and take it back to place before your Soul Tree; you will then gain Eywa's favor." Old Murbo gazed at the magnificent, gorgeous purple limb in the lake, opened his mouth, but could only manage a dry sound: "I... I cannot, nor dare I approach it. I don't know why, but seeing it feels like seeing Eywa—my heart fills with panic and reverence. I am afraid..." At this point, MD couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is that thing?" Fang Senyan smiled and replied: "It's a long story, but fortunately, we still have time... The Golden Side Quest truly lives up to its expensive purchase price! It allows us to learn such deep inside information. In fact, this knowledge alone is an extremely valuable, invisible asset." "Alright, let's start from the beginning! I think you all must have studied the original plot of Avatar." "In the original plot, the protagonist wasn't the first Toruk Makto (Rider of the Great Leonopteryx)! He was the seventh. In Na'vi legends, whenever a crisis arises that threatens to wipe out the entire species, the Toruk Makto appears, leading all Na'vi in the fight. Because of this, the Toruk Makto has become a legendary hero." Here, Fang Senyan paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts before continuing: "But that's where the core problem lies! Before the Earthlings even arrived on Pandora! Where did the crisis for the Na'vi come from? The Mother of All, Eywa, possesses such immense power, and her threshold for anger is also high—she barely bothered with the Earthlings mining and such, only becoming enraged when the Colonel attempted to destroy the Tree of Souls!" "So, we can almost certainly conclude that there must exist some massive, powerful forces on this planet—forces that, at the very least, could push the Na'vi to the brink of extinction, and quite possibly threaten the Soul Tree of the Mother of All!" At this point, Fang Senyan noticed the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces before he voiced his bold deduction: "Then... since this planet already harbors an extraordinary life form like the Mother of All Eywa, why couldn't there also be a Mother of the Ocean? A Mother of the Abyss? A Mother of the Sky?! And consider the term the Mother of All uses for the Mo'Sawk tribe—Fallen Ones! Only those who betray their faith are called Fallen! If we assume my hypothesis is correct, then the seemingly bizarre incidents that have occurred can be resolved logically, yielding a rational answer!"
