From Luke's explanation, Zhong Yi now had a clear understanding of how influence levels were determined on the Virtual Source Network.
First, any influence could be rated as a D Level Influence.
To be rated as a C Level Influence, one needed at least two C Level Talents.
Take Soul Soil, for example. Although its only members were Zhong Yi and Luke, Soul Soil already counted as a genuine C Level Influence.
As for becoming an A Level Influence, that required competing against other influences in the Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company.
Only by winning first place more than ten times in total and obtaining more than ten Hearts of the World through world exploration could an influence be rated as A Level.
Above A Level Influences, there were also S Level Influences.
However, the criteria for S Level Influences had no clear, rigid standards.
