Chapter 30 Trading Slingshots for Cannons
[Player "I am not a sword immortal" detected. Player "Great Sword" has died. 5 points of Luck will be automatically deducted for resurrection.]
Inside the small courtyard.
Zhou Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the player death notification that the system had just sent.
This mineral vein seems to be quite extraordinary.
Zhou Yi knew the players' skill level. Under normal circumstances, even if he couldn't win, he could definitely escape.
"Let's wait until they're resurrected and ask them what's going on."
As Zhou Yi thought this to himself, he looked at the 10 points of luck he had just gained.
"System, I remember you have a lottery feature, right?"
Yes, you can draw once for every 1 point of luck.
"Okay, give me a ten-pull."
Zhou Yi silently recited the command, and a roulette wheel popped up on the panel. The pointer on the wheel kept spinning and finally landed on a certain area.
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired one spirit stone."
Zhou Yi looked at the still-spinning roulette wheel and took a deep breath.
The sudden decision to hold a lottery today was not a whim of his.
Because he is currently in a difficult situation, he cannot change anything in just twenty days.
The only remaining way to break the deadlock is this roulette wheel lottery.
One spirit stone, two spirit stones...
Zhou Yi drew seven or eight useless items in a row, until the ninth time he drew a prize, when the roulette wheel suddenly emitted a blue light.
Shipped!
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired the 'Bone-Melting Disguise Technique'!"
A mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
Zhou Yi's pupils constricted sharply, and his breathing faltered.
Put yourself in a life-or-death situation, and then be reborn!
Before he could think further, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden sound from inside the courtyard.
"Holy crap, you big idiot, are you trying to scare me to death?" I'm not a sword immortal exclaimed, my face turning deathly pale.
Da Baojian fared no better; his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
The fleeting crimson figure before his death left him with lingering fear.
"How was I supposed to know what was going on? I was just walking along when suddenly that dead lizard pierced my neck with its tongue," Big Sword complained, though his voice still trembled slightly.
Zhou Yi walked slowly towards the two and inquired about the specific details of the mine.
Small spiders, swarms of bats, a large number of mineral worms, and blood-red lizards that appeared out of nowhere.
It's truly fraught with danger.
These two players were lucky to survive until the very end.
Zhou Yi understood and rewarded each person with 15 sect contribution points.
The sword immortal's expression was alright, after all, he had only lost one Green Bamboo Sword.
But Da Baojian was different. The thought of losing the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword he had just bought made him lose his composure.
He'd played countless games and killed monsters for materials, but this was the first time a monster had ever stolen his equipment.
This is intolerable!
Da Baojian bowed to Zhou Yi and said, "Sect Master, please allow this disciple to go and clean up the mine and make a contribution to the sect."
Zhou Yi was taken aback; it seemed his little players were quite enthusiastic.
However, he did not intend to send the two players at the second level of Qi Refining to participate in the subsequent battles.
After all, going there would most likely just be suicide missions.
"Yes, the sect appreciates your kindness, but I have my own arrangements for the follow-up matters regarding the opening of the mine," Zhou Yi said, looking at the two of them.
Just as the great sword was about to speak, intending to try and get another chance, the sword immortal quietly pulled him back.
"You stupid big swordsman, you want to get banned again, don't you?" the sword immortal said in a low voice, his tone somewhat impatient.
The great sword remained silent for a moment, then spoke reluctantly, "But... my Xuan Tie Heavy Sword is still there."
The sword immortal sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly, saying, "You really are stupid. With such a rich mine, the sect couldn't possibly not take it back. It's just that our strength is too weak, and the sect leader hasn't considered us."
"You mean the sect leader might be planning to send Boss Qianlong and his group to clear out the mines?"
"Otherwise what?"
After the sword immortal finished speaking, he pulled the great sword and walked out of the courtyard.
As for Qianlong Dengren, he should have already killed all the monsters and is preparing to go to the shop to exchange for contribution points.
With that in mind, Zhou Yi strode toward the contribution shop.
……
The disciples' dormitories are located between the Alchemy Pavilion and the sect's main hall.
The houses are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and the environment is quiet and pleasant.
Qianlong took out a white cloth and wiped the blood-stained sword blade.
Li Fan then fiddled with his Myriad Soul Banner, which seemed to have absorbed a lot of the souls of the monsters when he used it to kill them.
After killing monsters for almost a day, the five of them finally cleaned up the entire dormitory area, and at the same time, their cultivation level successfully broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield and storing the monster corpses in storage bags, Qianlong and the others headed towards the contribution shop.
They really gained a lot from this battle.
If you sell all the monster materials, you'll definitely get a lot of sect contribution points.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. They felt that their day of grinding monsters had not been in vain, thinking about the equipment they were about to get.
The group walked along and soon arrived at the contribution shop.
Although their faces showed signs of fatigue, there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
After years of hard work fighting monsters, today I can finally upgrade to high-end equipment.
Su Qianyue counted dozens of monster corpses and finally exchanged a total of 100 sect contribution points for the five players.
If you divide that among everyone, it's 20 points.
With the 10 contribution points reward for completing the mission, Qianlong and his companions finally raised enough money to buy equipment.
"After fighting monsters for so long, it's finally time to upgrade from slingshots to cannons!"
Looking at the dazzling array of weapons on the counter, Qunxing couldn't help but sigh.
Crouching Tiger glanced at the precious sword and unconsciously let out a long breath.
He knew that he could finally get rid of his beginner equipment, the Green Bamboo Sword.
"Junior Sister Qianyue, here are 60 contribution points. I want to buy this Frostbeam Blade and that Qi-cultivating blade technique, 'Three Styles of Frost'."
Wo Hu handed 60 sect contribution points to Su Qian Yue, then picked up the Frostbeam Blade and chuckled involuntarily.
Qianlong had just purchased the flying sword from Wuhu, so he naturally had no intention of buying any new weapons at the moment.
He scanned the various sword techniques in the skill area, finally settling his gaze on a sword manual.
Dragon Sword Technique
In a split second, Qianlong took a liking to it and spent 50 sect contribution points to buy it.
Since Li Fan had the Myriad Soul Banner in hand, he naturally didn't buy any weapons or cultivation techniques, but instead chose to save up his sect contribution points.
He had a feeling that as more players joined, the value of contribution points would increase.
As for the Immortal of Instant Opening, he spent 70 sect contribution points to buy a flying sword that he found pleasing to the eye, a decent sword technique, and a set of basic Five Elements spells.
The only thing that's a little sad is the constellation of stars.
He currently only has 70 sect contribution points, which is still far from enough to buy that Frost Sword.
Seeing that everyone around him had changed into their gear, he looked somewhat dejected.
"I remember you were called 'When Humanoid Stars Shine,' right?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the stars.
He turned around and saw that Sect Master Zhou Yi had walked over at some point.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
When Qianlong and the others saw Zhou Yi arrive, they all bowed and greeted him.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, smiling as he looked at the stars: "It just so happens that the sect has a support program recently, where weapon purchases can be paid for in installments. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qunxing's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Yi waved his right hand, and in the next instant, the Frost Sword rose out of thin air and landed in front of the stars.
The stars stared blankly as they reached out and grasped the chilling longsword.
"Thank you very much, Sect Master! We are deeply grateful!" Qunxing said solemnly.
Zhou Yi waved his hand: "No need for formalities. The down payment is 50 contribution points, and you can repay 10 points every day for a total of 6 days."
He felt it was a worthwhile deal to earn an extra 10 sect contribution points in six days.
As for the mineral vein, the players are not yet capable of handling it.
Moreover, Zhou Yi has other plans for the players now.
Plans changed; a sneak investigation into the Immortal's Abode.
