Chapter 36 – Cash-making scheme

Ye Zhou was contemplating easy methods to clear the occasion with two folks the subsequent day with a purpose to make everybody eat their mocking phrases when Unmatched Divine Basic revived on the spot and shouted at Ye Zhou, “Who cares about competing with you? Let’s go!”

He had accepted a job to guide folks by the occasion, so even when he was fuming, he nonetheless wanted to diligently serve his shoppers.

Unmatched Divine Basic departed with that, with out tossing out any parting phrases like “you simply anticipate me”, so it turned out he might truly settle for defeat when he wanted to.

Seeing the joy was over, the encompassing crowd stopped watching Dugu Zhuo and Ye Zhou and hurried off on their very own enterprise.

Ye Zhou returned to his inn room, and after saying goodbye to Dugu Zhuo, went offline to relaxation.

After he departed, Dugu Zhuo left the room. With out Ye Zhou there, he didn’t discover any leisure in observing a clean wall.

Over this era, when Ye Zhou logged off, Dugu Zhuo hadn’t remained idle. He had walked just about each inch of the at present open maps in 9 Heavens, looking for the subsequent important storyline process.

If the principle storyline was as carefully linked along with his previous because it appeared, he didn’t need Ye Zhou concerned within the subsequent half in any respect prices. 9 Heavens’ important storyline wouldn’t reappear after being accomplished, so if he completed one half alone, different folks wouldn’t pay attention to that portion of his previous.

Sadly, these final couple days, he had totally searched Penglai City, the Everlasting Day and Evening Districts, and Jiuchuan Metropolis, and even interrogated each bandit and thug on the highway from Penglai City to Jiuchuan Metropolis, and in the long run not managed to seek out any clues in direction of the principle storyline.

Maybe this was as a result of a requirement was unfulfilled, or as a result of many maps within the recreation have been nonetheless not open, so the clues hadn’t been launched but.

Ye Zhou progressed quickly in cultivation, so he would be capable to study fundamental methods in a short time. The following factor he would need to do would undoubtedly be going to the extent 20+ cases to stage up. It couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Simply as Dugu Zhuo anticipated, after Ye Zhou cultivated for lower than per week, he had mastered the flight spell, the sword flight approach, and the 5 Parts Talismans. In spite of everything their preparations have been prepared, he and Dugu Zhuo set off, absolutely outfitted, to problem the Solar-Worshipping Cult occasion.

They now not wanted Basis Institution Tablets, and the tablets the Solar-Worshipping Cult occasion gave out have been certain to the participant and couldn’t be bought, so clearing this occasion truthfully didn’t maintain a lot profit for them, and solely amounted to some expertise. Nonetheless, whereas the quantity of expertise factors might be thought-about important to gamers beneath stage 20, previous stage 20, it could be extra environment friendly to run round within the wilderness and discover bandits to beat up.

Dugu Zhuo had verified this comparability by going to the wilderness and preventing bandits whereas Ye Zhou was gone.

Initially, with a purpose to get hold of data, Dugu Zhuo had left a member of an ambush alive with a purpose to observe him again to the bandits’ mountain lair.

The lair was full of numerous items of silver, low-grade spirit stones, and medicinal elements, as any gadgets dropped by gamers who bought killed by the bandits would robotically seem of their storeroom.

Dugu Zhuo cleared out the lair, and on high of the expertise and Righteousness Factors, he had obtained an excellent 100,000 silver taels. Over this time period, the room fare for him and Ye Zhou had come from right here.

Considering of the tens of hundreds of thousands of funds they would wish to discovered a sect, Dugu Zhuo determined that he might increase the cash by robbing bandits. If he simply repeated this a pair hundred occasions, he could be set.

The second day, he repeated the identical system, following the one surviving bandit again to their mountain lair, solely to seek out that the within of the lair was naked and the bandit chief was at present boiling wild greens to eat.

Upon seeing Dugu Zhuo, the bandit chief fell to his knees and mentioned, “Nice hero, please spare us! Enterprise wasn’t good at present, and we didn’t handle to kill many vacationers, so we’re actually penniless. My brothers are going to mattress with their stomachs empty tonight!”

Dugu Zhuo: “…”

The bandits’ strategist, a person with a pinched and gaunt face, additionally kneeled down and mentioned, “Nice hero, how about tomorrow, after we’ve robbed some folks, we’ll provide you with all our earnings?”

Dugu Zhuo: “…”

Ready for these bandits to rob gamers could be much less efficient than him going out to rob gamers himself.

Identical to that, Dugu Zhuo’s plan to get wealthy crumbled.

He rapidly got here up with a brand new plan, however he would solely know whether or not or not it might be viable after beating the Solar-Worshipping Cult occasion. So, he mentioned that this occasion wasn’t actually value clearing, however surely, despite the fact that he would accompany Ye Zhou it doesn’t matter what if Ye Zhou needed to do it, Dugu Zhuo actually had his personal purpose to clear it.

The occasion wasn’t truly onerous, simply an excessive check of a participant’s management of the sport. 

After subduing the Peach Tree Monsters, they wanted to flee to outdoors the elder’s vary with a purpose to keep away from his barrage of AoE assaults, and dodge his single-target assaults afterwards. So long as their actions have been exact, they might be capable to win by whittling away on the elder.

This stage wasn’t tough. They’d totally practiced the flight spell, so they might be capable to dodge the elder’s assaults simply.

The issue was the elder’s extraordinarily excessive well being pool and powerful protection, which meant that they might have bother inflicting injury to him with their weapons.

The 5 Phases Swordplay and the Tiangang Steps have been highly effective, however in addition they expended an excessive amount of non secular vitality. At their present ranges, in the event that they tried to make use of their sword and motion methods on the similar time, their non secular vitality would run out very quickly. They might don’t have any option to struggle, unable to maintain even probably the most fundamental flight or sword command approach.

Plus, the 5 Phases Swordplay and the Tiangang Steps had cooldown durations, and couldn’t be used once more inside a 15 second timespan.

After some dialogue, they determined that after one individual used a sword approach, they might instantly fall again and eat tablets to replenish non secular vitality, whereas the opposite individual would come ahead and use their motion methods. Preventing in turns like this, they lastly managed to empty the elder’s well being in a number of cycles.

Earlier than dying, the elder set free a annoyed bellow. He wasn’t weak, it was simply that he couldn’t fly.

The following problem was a fairly cliche riddle of reality and lies. They have been confronted with two doorways and two guardians, considered one of which all the time informed the reality, and considered one of which all the time informed lies. With a view to discover the right door, they may solely ask one query to at least one gatekeeper.

In the event that they went by the right door, they might arrive on the important corridor of the temple, but when they have been mistaken, they must struggle the divine beast of the Solar-Worshipping Cult. Solely by profitable might they depart and return to the right door.

With Dugu Zhuo’s mind, he might simply work out which door was the true one, however upon listening to “divine beast”, he remembered that their sect nonetheless wanted a guardian beast. Tempted away, he purposefully selected the inaccurate door with a purpose to see the divine beast, in case they may seize it for his or her sect.

Dugu Zhuo had assumed that within the Solar-Worshipping Temple, the divine beast ought to be a three-legged solar crow or one thing else associated to the solar, and on the very least, it needed to be an animal, absolutely. However on the opposite facet of the door, he discovered a row of sunflowers.

The sunflowers would possibly’ve appeared odd, however their fight energy was terrifying.

Their pure means to face the solar made them very delicate to mild, and from even a single ray of sunshine, they may discern the 2’s areas and spit out a barrage of sunflower seeds.

The sunflower seeds have been no snack, both. Each considered one of them was a tiny bomb, which might penetrate into the flesh of gamers earlier than exploding. Not solely did they trigger critical injury, but when they hit the arms or legs, they might have an effect on assault injury or motion pace.

The amount of the assault was additionally extraordinarily excessive, as dense as raindrops, so even Dugu Zhuo and Ye Zhou’s evasive talents may not be capable to keep away from them.

Dugu Zhuo immediately thought up a countermeasure, nevertheless. He and Ye Zhou shared a look, then Ye Zhou went ahead and blocked the primary wave, as Dugu Zhuo ready a talisman.

Nonetheless, simply at this second, the Solar-Worshipping Cult’s youth needed to trigger issues. He was designed by the devs to behave as an impediment, so each time the gamers confronted a problem, he would yell, “That is considered one of Elder’s trials, I gained’t again down!” and cost proper in. He might get himself killed within the blink of a watch. The gamers couldn’t even maintain him again, and numerous died due to him.

Dugu Zhuo had initially used the binding spell on him and carried him in a single arm. He’d been moveable and hadn’t managed to trigger any bother.

Nonetheless, these sunflowers have been the divine beasts of the Solar-Worshipping Cult, and their function was to guard the members of the Solar-Worshipping Tribe. Once they entered the gates, the youth was capable of borrow their energy to interrupt the binding spell, and as Dugu Zhuo targeted on his talismans, charged forth whereas drawing a dagger, shouting, “Honored divine beasts, please check me!”

Ye Zhou had all his consideration on concurrently utilizing Sword Flight and the 5 Phases Swordplay to dam the sunflower seeds. With wind swords defending him, he hadn’t sustained any damage but.

Seeing the youth cost in, Ye Zhou, in a pinch, despatched a number of of his wind swords out to guard him. A gap appeared in his defenses and one sunflower seed was capable of hit him within the shoulder. It detonated, immediately taking away 20% of Ye Zhou’s well being.

The injury was nothing, however Ye Zhou had adjusted his ache sensitivity to the very best setting. The ache disrupted his focus. He was unable to keep up the wind swords, and numerous sunflower seeds flew towards him.

By way of the Coronary heart Linking Approach, Dugu Zhuo additionally felt the ache in his shoulder. Up to now, he had perpetually been in ache, so his ache threshold and endurance have been excessive.

As Ye Zhou confronted the omnidirectional risk, Dugu Zhuo appeared in entrance of him within the second earlier than affect, and tossed an illumination talisman into the air.

The complete room was immediately lit up because the talisman set free blinding rays. All of the sunflowers couldn’t assist however lookup towards the talisman, inflicting all of the seeds to shoot in its course, quickly taking the 2 out of the road of fireplace.

Dugu Zhuo instantly tossed out a flame talisman in succession. It began a raging inferno, which Dugu Zhuo took benefit of to make use of the 5 Phases Swordplay’s hearth swords.

The sunflowers had nowhere to cover from the extreme blaze, and all have been incinerated.

This battle had been fairly pricey for them. Their non secular vitality was depleted, and Ye Zhou had additionally been injured.

Fortuitously, it could take the sunflowers 5 minutes to revive, so they’d a while to recuperate.

They’d no therapeutic talents between them. Dugu Zhuo pulled open Ye Zhou’s garments, used qi to drive out the splintered items of sunflower seed in Ye Zhou’s arm, then utilized therapeutic drugs to the realm in addition to giving him tablets. Therapeutic drugs took impact instantaneously within the recreation, so Ye Zhou recovered without delay.

“Argh, it hurts like hell!” Ye Zhou mentioned, clutching his shoulder.

Dugu Zhuo blamed himself for all of it. If he hadn’t been so decided to catch a divine beast for his sect, Ye Zhou wouldn’t have been harm.

Earlier than he might even get out any phrases of apology, although, Ye Zhou raised a hand and poked Dugu Zhuo within the cheek, saying with a smile, “Why are you feeling unhealthy about it? Isn’t selecting to struggle the unsuitable door a standard option to play?

“Once I performed video games up to now, I’d additionally tackle some hidden challenges after I bought bored. It’s one other option to have enjoyable. Even should you took the unsuitable door on function, I additionally would’ve needed to see the divine beast of the Solar-Worshipping Cult.

“I took a screenshot simply now too. Once I log out, I’m going to put up it on the boards. The opposite gamers are going to like the true id of this occasion’s divine beasts!”

Along with his unconcerned angle, he managed to resolve Dugu Zhuo’s emotions of guilt.

Seeing that Dugu Zhuo was observing his shoulder, Ye Zhou rapidly put his garments again on, standing up as if nothing had been happening. “Perhaps you must draw a number of extra talismans proper now. After we move by the subsequent door, we’ll be onto the ultimate boss, so getting ready a bit of extra couldn’t harm.”

Gazing at Ye Zhou, Dugu Zhuo mentioned, “Subsequent time you go online, make certain to set the ache sensitivity to zero.”

Regardless that Ye Zhou had already used the Coronary heart Linking Approach and would be capable to really feel Dugu Zhuo’s ache by it, if he adjusted his setting to zero, he might at the least not really feel ache when he himself bought injured.

“Yeah, I’ll,” Ye Zhou mentioned casually. “Get to your talismans.”

Dugu Zhuo turned away to attract, whereas Ye Zhou, holding his palms behind his again, whistled guiltily.

Ye Zhou knew full nicely it was harmful to set the ache sensitivity very excessive, however the recreation had ache and contact sensitivity linked. If he set his ache to zero, then sooner or later, when Dugu Zhuo patted him, poked him, or held his hand, he wouldn’t be capable to really feel it, and he wouldn’t even be capable to really feel Dugu Zhuo’s respiratory once they stood very shut to one another.

After all, by the Coronary heart Linking Approach, he might really feel Dugu Zhuo’s sensations, however these have been Dugu Zhuo’s, not his personal.

He merely wouldn’t regulate it, Ye Zhou thought along with his again to Dugu Zhuo, having flat-out deceived him.

With a view to stop accidents within the boss struggle as a lot as attainable, Dugu Zhuo drew plenty of talismans. He additionally used bodily strategies (a rope) to wrap the Solar-Worshipping youth right into a bundle. Lastly, they left the room, now choosing the right gate, into the worship corridor of the Solar-Worshipping Temple.

The present elder of the Solar-Worshipping Temple noticed them and smiled unkindly. “After so many trials, do you continue to not perceive?”

This line was directed on the Solar-Worshipping youth. Ye Zhou had a foul feeling. Perhaps that stumbling block child had one other lure in place for the gamers.
