Miss, welcome back!
System Butler No. 387 was circling around Gu Jiu happily, simulating the landing of colorful flowers, and the entire gray foggy space was filled with joy.
Gu Jiu grabbed the small metal ball and rubbed it, then asked with a smile, "What are you so happy about?"
Of course I am happy! No. 387's baby voice was full of excitement. "Miss, you performed very well in the demon world this time, and you also learned very useful skills and techniques. This will be your capital and confidence to dominate the A-level world in the future..."
Gu Jiu listened for a while and asked, "Why does your system rate the Qiankun technique so highly?"
certainly!
Then No. 387 taught her the "Qian Kun" technique.
It can be said that in this demon world, the only top-level technique is the "Qian Kun" technique that Gu Jiu copied from the old demon Zhang Yang. It was originally created by a saint in ancient times who comprehended the rules of heaven and earth and was taught by the rules of heaven and earth. It corresponds to the great way of nature, so it was named "Qian Kun".
The universe is all-encompassing and ever-changing.
Unfortunately, this "Qian Kun" technique had an unfortunate fate. After it came into the world, it fell into the hands of demons. After many twists and turns, it ended up in the hands of the old demon Zhang Yang, and was casually thrown into the collection as a trophy.
Only human practitioners can understand and practice the "Qian Kun" technique. To those demons and monsters, it is worthless, so they do not take it seriously. They throw it away like garbage and never let it see the light of day.
Gu Jiu was the first person to discover it.
After checking the history of the "Qian Kun" technique from the main system, No. 387 was very happy that Gu Jiu found it and practiced it.
In a low-level version of the cultivation world like the demon world, the skills that were created in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth are all top-level skills that are hard to come by. It is their luck if the players can encounter them.
Unfortunately, many players have been doing quests in similar demon worlds for so long, but rarely find this kind of top-level skills to practice, thus wasting the opportunities given to them by the main system.
There is nothing we can do about it.
After listening to this, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It seems that I am lucky."
It's not that you're lucky, it's the choice you made at that time. No. 387 retorted, if you didn't care about the lives of those Taoist nuns at that time, didn't protect them back to Qingyun Mountain, and even didn't destroy the lair of Zhang Yang the old demon and help Qingyun Temple get some capital for development... then you would have missed it.
There are too many factors involved. If one of them is not right, Gu Jiu will not get it.
Gu Jiu thought about it and felt that what the system manager said made some sense.
When No. 387 was about to give her the points, Gu Jiu suddenly asked, "By the way, how much of the demon world can your system steward see this time?"
No. 387 said: I didn’t see much. It explained that the higher the level of the world, the more powerful beings there are. We, the system stewards, are outsiders and cannot spy on the fate of too many worlds. Not only will we be rejected by the rules of the world, but we will also be noticed by those powerful beings. If we do something that is completely contrary to the fate, wouldn’t that offend people...
Players are sent into game worlds to complete tasks because the main system reaches an agreement with those worlds and only then allows players to enter.
It would be fine if the players could go in, but the system is still snooping outside, which is not acceptable.
Gu Jiu thought to himself, it was indeed the case.
Moreover, in this demon world, there is actually a god recognized by the rules. I dare not spy on him for fear of being discovered by him... As No. 387 said this, he felt a little unbelievable in his heart.
Although the A-level world is quite high, it is still difficult to give birth to gods. However, one was born in the demon world, which shows how good the development trajectory of this world is. Maybe one day in the future, it can evolve into an S-level world and become a real world of cultivating immortals.
After the two people chatted for a while, the system manager settled the points for Gu Jiu.
The player obtains 50,000 points in the "Demon World" copy, meeting the requirements for purchasing items in the "Demon World" copy.
Item 1: Basic spell collection, which contains a variety of basic spells. It requires 10,000 points.
Prop 2:…
… …
This time, there are thirty props in the demon world, and each prop is related to magic and skills, but there are no practical props.
Seeing Gu Jiu's enthusiastic look, No. 387 asked: Miss, don't you want to buy it
"No!" Gu Jiu shook his head. "I have already learned these techniques in the demon world. As for skills, I have also collected quite a few there. The Qiankun skills alone are enough."
A single copy of "Qian Kun" can easily defeat all the items and skills available for players to purchase in the main system.
No. 387 felt that she was right. The biggest gain in the demon world this time was the "Qian Kun" technique. On the contrary, the props generated by the rules were not very tempting to the players.
This is a very normal thing in the A-level world. Generally, the skills that players learn in the A-level world are more practical than the props available for them to buy in the main system, not to mention that these props are extremely expensive and buying them is a waste of points.
No. 387 didn't say anything else and sent Gu Jiu out of the gray fog space.
Returning to the apartment in Yuelan Bay, Gu Jiu stood up from the sofa.
She was the only one in the apartment, it was cold and deserted, and Lu Ji had not come back.
At this time, there were several messages in the player's account requesting to add friends. Gu Jiu clicked through them one by one, and several messages popped up one after another.
Gu Jiu first opened the message sent by Qin Huang, "Miss, I'll treat you to a midnight snack. It's roasted spirit beast meat. You'll be full!"
Seeing this, Gu Jiu smiled. It seemed that Qin Huang had earned quite a few points this time, because he didn't need to buy any props and saved them all for treating guests.
She opened Weishengtu's message again, and he was also inviting her to have a midnight snack and had already found a place.
The news from the others was the same, they all wanted to treat her to a midnight snack, so they all agreed to meet at a high-end restaurant in the Sixty-Eight Star District that specialized in midnight snacks using spiritual ingredients.
Gu Jiu replied to them, asked them to wait a moment, then took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and finally went out.
After taking a car to the 68th star area, Gu Jiu quickly found the place.
This is a starry sky-themed store. As you enter the door, you will see a brilliant starry sky. Being in it, you feel like you are surrounded by stars.
"Miss, here, here!" Shu Yingying waved at her.
Gu Jiu looked over in the direction of the voice and saw six people sitting at a round table surrounded by green plants, including the busy man Huo Ting.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, thought about it, and roughly understood why Huo Ting came.
Qin Huang stood up immediately and pulled her to his side. Next to her was Huo Ting, separating her from the two girls, Wei Shengtu and Shu Yingying.
This little trick made both girls want to roll their eyes at him.
Qin Huang ignored them. He knew that the eldest lady was particularly gentle and generous to girls, so of course he had to be on guard.
But this was not a problem for Shu Yingying and Wei Shengtu. One of the girls handed her the menu and asked her about her taste in a gentle voice, while the other handed her spiritual juice and dried fruits. They were considerate and cute.
"I'm not picky about food, anything is fine."
Shu Yingying ordered a lot of food and said with a smile, "Qin Huanghuang said he's treating us today, so let's eat to our heart's content."
"I didn't say that." Qin Huang curled his lips, "I only said to invite the young lady. You are all incidental. Be careful not to get bloated by the spiritual energy."
No amount of points would be enough to let these big eaters eat to their heart's content. Moreover, spiritual energy ingredients are not ordinary ingredients. Their filling capacity is not comparable to that of ordinary spiritual energy, and they can really burst your stomach.
Ye Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm willing to eat a big meal for this."
Qin Huang rolled his eyes at him, not wanting to pay attention to him. He said to Gu Jiu excitedly, "Miss, the props this time are all some skills and magic. I took a look and found that they are useless to me, so I didn't buy anything. I saved all the points."
He was happy because he and Gu Jiu had wiped out monster lairs everywhere and copied out many skills and magic techniques that the monsters regarded as trophies. They made a copy and kept it, and asked Chang Fa to send the original version to Qingyun Temple, so they were not short of skills.
Because they have no shortage of them, the spells, techniques and other props distributed by the system mall are of no use to them.
Shu Yingying and the others listened with envy.
They had been in the East China Sea for too long and hadn't acquired any magic or skills, so when they saw the props in the system mall, they bought a few as a reserve, and their points were almost used up in no time.
After the food was served, a group of people ate and chatted.
When talking about killing the Demon Lord, Gu Jiu used the earth fire that burned the Demon Lord's eyes.
Judging from the situation at that time, if Gu Jiu had not used that thing to attack the Demon Lord and distract him from everything else, he would not have been able to kill him in time. Otherwise, it would be unknown how long it would take, and it would even be a question whether he could escape unscathed.
"Gu Jiu, what is the Wangchuan Fire?" Qi Qianyin asked curiously.
"It's the underground fire beside the Forgotten River..."
She described the situation in Wangchuan, and all the players present looked regretful.
Qin Huang slapped his thigh fiercely, "I told you, since there is an underworld, there must be things like the Yellow Springs Road and the River of Oblivion. What a pity that I don't even have the chance to see them with my own eyes!"
Shu Yingying looked longing, "Yes, just listening to the description of the eldest lady, I feel that the banks of the Wangchuan River must be very beautiful."
"The rules it contains are very magical." Qi Qianyin said, "I have been to so many worlds before, but this world is the only one that allows me to see the underworld and the River of Oblivion up close. It's a pity that I missed it."
"The eldest lady is still lucky." Ye Qian said sincerely, and felt that Gu Jiu was more and more amazing, like a miracle.
… …
Whether it is the underworld or the Wangchuan River, they are both magical existences for players.
It was clearly a great opportunity to experience it, but because I was busy killing the demon lord, I was sent away after passing the level. It was a pity to miss such an opportunity in vain.
Gu Jiu picked up a piece of roasted, golden and crispy spirit beast meat and ate it with sauce without saying a word.
If her boyfriend hadn't interfered, she wouldn't have had the chance to see the underworld and the Wangchuan River. There was no need to tell them about this.
After the midnight snack, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
A group of people left with bloated bellies, spiritual energy running wild in their bodies, and they all felt like their blood was surging and needed to vent.
Qin Huang said: "Miss, why don't we go to the battlefield to consume some energy?"
Shu Yingying and others agreed.
Even Wei Shengtu, who always liked to be alone, found it difficult to agree. There was no other way. They ate too much at the dinner and all the food turned into spiritual energy and rushed around in their bodies.
Gu Jiu said: "I won't go, let's go in a few days."
She waved goodbye to them and left the Sixty-Eight Star Sector with Huo Ting.
Back in the Ninety-Eight Star District, the two walked on the streets in the early morning.
Huo Ting suddenly asked: "Ajiu, where is Lu Ji?"
This time when entering the demon world, Huo Ting never saw Lu Ji from beginning to end. He didn't think that anything would happen to Lu Ji. Looking at Gu Jiu again, he never mentioned him, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
Gu Jiu said: "He is busy building the underworld and will be back in a while."
Huo Ting: “…”
Xiao had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't expect the truth to be more terrifying than he guessed.
After a while, he asked in a somewhat difficult tone: "Who is he?"
First of all, it is impossible to be an S-level player.
Although S-level players have the ability to break through spatial barriers and are not bound by rules, their strength is greatly restricted when they want to enter low-level worlds, and there is also a limit on the number of times they can go. They cannot go to any world as freely as Lu Ji.
It is even less likely to be the legendary demigod.
Those demigods rarely care about things in the game world. What they care about is the overall trend and stability of the entire world. They will not easily enter the world that is being watched by the main system, so as not to be considered by the main system that they are breaking the rules.
So, who exactly is Lu Ji
Gu Jiu didn't say anything. She took out a copy of the "Qian Kun" technique and handed it to him. "This technique should be useful for you to comprehend the rules of space."
Huo Ting looked at the skills she handed over, pursed his lips, reached out to take it, and said thank you.
"Okay, I know you're busy, go ahead." Gu Jiu waved at him, smiling as softly as water, "Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing."
Huo Ting looked at her deeply and said nothing more.
He knew she had a secret, and this secret was related to Lu Ji. Lu Ji's origin was a mystery, he was extremely dangerous, and he was uncontrollable. Of course, he was worried that Gu Jiu would be implicated by Lu Ji. If Lu Ji was just a player, with Gu Jiu's ability, he would naturally be able to protect him, but he was an unknown existence...
Huo Ting sighed in his heart and turned away.
Gu Jiu also returned to the apartment, washed up, and lay down on the bed.
She fell asleep quickly and slept until noon the next day.
The curtains were not drawn and the light hurt her eyelids. She reached out and pulled up the quilt, curled up in it, stayed in bed for a while, and then slowly got up.
The apartment was empty. Gu Jiu didn't stay there for long and went straight back to the real world.
It happened to be the weekend and the Gu family was all at home.
Seeing Gu Jiu coming down from upstairs, the Gu family was very happy. Even Gu Mingli, who was about to go to the library to do some homework, turned back and threw his schoolbag on the sofa.
Gu Mingli came over and gave his sister a hug, "Sister, you are at home today."
Gu Jiu hummed.
"Ajiu, have you had lunch?" asked my aunt Wen Aiying. When she said no, she quickly asked the servants to prepare food.
The little nephew Gu Yiqing rushed over to his aunt's fragrant and soft body, sniffed it hard, and said happily: "Aunt's body smells good, very nice."
Gu Jiu took out a small sachet and tied it around the child's neck, "This is a spiritual herb sachet, Xiao Qing'er, wear it, don't take it off."
This sachet is made by the Taoist nuns of Qingyun Temple. It contains processed spiritual herbs that can nourish the bodies of ordinary people and strengthen their physical fitness.
Gu Yiqing liked it very much. She touched the sachet with her little hand and smiled sweetly.
Gu Jiu took out several spiritual herb sachets and gave one to each person, asking them to carry them with them.
The Taoist nuns in Qingyun Temple stuffed a lot of things into her hands, which was enough for her.
Gu Jiasheng and Gu Mingjie, father and son, were a little amused and helpless. This thing looked very delicate, especially the embroidery on it, which was obviously made by a master. The craftsmanship alone was worth a lot of money.
But no matter how you look at it, it looks good on girls and kids, but what's the point of having these grown men wearing it
Gu Jiu reminded, "Uncle, brother, there are spiritual herbs in it, which are good for your body."
"That's right, Dad, you and big brother can't discriminate against it, it was given to me by my sister." Gu Mingli, who had become a fan of his sister, put the sachet away and shamelessly asked for another one.
He asked for it for his girlfriend.
This thing looks very suitable for girls, and it can also strengthen the body. It is just right to get one for your girlfriend.
Gu Jiu generously gave him another one, "Come back for me when its fragrance fades."
"Thank you, sister!" Gu Mingli put it away happily.
Gu Jiu spent a few days leisurely and idle at home, and finally returned to Wujie City.
When she found that Lu Ji still hadn't returned, she went to the battlefield and challenged Qin Huang and the others to a fight.
With the return of the eldest lady, the challenge area of the battle field became lively. Many A-level players who had heard of Gu Jiu's reputation came to challenge her, and her fans came to support her, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Chai Yingying squatted outside the field, waiting for Gu Jiu to finish a fight, and then rushed over.
"Miss, you've become stronger again." She gave a thumbs-up. "I heard that the number of your fan clubs has exceeded four digits. That's great."
Gu Jiu was wiping his sweat, and turned to look at her, "Support group?"
How come she didn't know she had this
It was rare to see her surprised, Chai Yingying couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pull a girl over, "Hey, this is one of the leaders of your support group."
Gu Jiu looked at the girl who was looking at him excitedly, "Ai Ruyi?"
Ai Ruyi's innocent face flushed, her eyes were wet, and she said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this was organized by Xu Chenfeng and I. They all really like you, Miss..."
After hearing her words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
For the first time, she realized that players' lives could be so rich that even the star-chasing in the real world had been moved to the Boundless City.
Looking at Ai Ruyi and Xu Chenfeng, who were looking for praise with sparkling eyes, she reached out and patted their heads, "Thank you for liking it, but I hope you can focus on training yourself and try to survive in the game world."
The two of them nodded quickly. They didn't want to die and would definitely try their best.
However, this does not prevent them from liking the eldest lady. In fact, because they like her and learn from her, they can be more rational and calm when encountering emergencies in the game world.
"Sister Gu, don't worry, Sister Ai is very powerful now." Xu Chenfeng praised Ai Ruyi for a rare moment, "When she encountered ghosts before, she would just cry and ask for shelter, but now she will rush up to fight the ghosts."
Chai Yingying: "So fierce?"
I can’t believe it, a plastic surgery freak who was originally despised by Boss Qi has been reborn. Is the influence of the eldest lady so powerful
Ai Ruyi said shyly: "Compared to the young lady, I am still far behind."
She really admired Gu Jiu, especially after hearing about her performance in the game world, she wished she could be by her side at that time to admire the heroic figure of the young lady. She regretted not seizing the opportunity in the "Bird in a Cage" copy.
Chai Yingying secretly shook her head, these brain-dead fans are hopeless.
After a day of fighting, Chai Yingying invited Gu Jiu to a dinner party.
"We haven't gathered for a long time. I called Qi Lao Da, Ruan Yuan, Lu Hai Di, Wan Xing Zhou, Qu Yang..."
Gu Jiu's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Okay, let's go together."
She glanced at Ai Ruyi and the other person and called them over.
The place for the dinner was a self-service barbecue restaurant. Gu Jiu thought that the players were all big eaters, so he was not surprised by their choice.
When Gu Jiu and Chai Yingying arrived, most of the others had already arrived.
When they saw Gu Jiu, they all stood up and greeted her. Ruan Yuan and Wan Xingzhou were so excited that they ran over and gave her a big hug.
"I feel like I haven't seen the eldest lady for a long time, and I miss her so much." Ruan Yuan said with a smile.
"That's right. I've been in the game world for a month this time." Wan Xingzhou complained, "Including the time in the real world, I haven't seen the young lady for more than two months."
Others also talked to Gu Jiu at the same time, expressing similar ideas.
The time that passes in the real world is not long, but they have to enter the game world frequently, and combined with the time they stay in the game world, the total time is long.
Although only one year has passed in the real world, in fact I have lived for several years.
"Hey, is this Xu Chenfeng?" Ge Guang looked at the two people who came with Gu Jiu. He still remembered Xu Chenfeng. "This girl looks unfamiliar. I have never seen her before."
Ai Ruyi smiled at him obediently, "Brother Ge, long time no see."
Ge Guang looked confused, "Do you know me?"
Ai Ruyi nodded, and carefully glanced at Boss Qi who was sitting not far away. She had a psychological trauma towards him, and whispered, "I am Ai Ruyi."
"Ai..."
Ge Guang was immediately choked, and even the twin sisters Ling Huan and Ling Le looked at him in surprise. Only Qi Yuheng didn't even glance at him, still maintaining his cold and noble demeanor due to his mysophobia.
The players all had good memories and instantly remembered the first time they met Ai Ruyi.
"How did you become like this?" Ge Guang said in amazement, "Your face was not like this before. Your chin was so sharp that it could kill someone. Your eyelids were cracked and exaggeratedly large. Your nose was like plastic, fake and stiff. And your mouth looked like you had injections. It was pouty like a sausage..."
Everyone: “…”
Ai Ruyi was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under the table.
Not to mention others, even she herself couldn't stand this dark history.
Finally, Gu Jiu pulled her over and pressed her into a seat, saying with a smile: "This is what Xiao Ai really looks like. Look, isn't she beautiful?"
Ge Guang, the straight man, nodded very straightforwardly, "It is indeed beautiful."
Ling Le and Ling Huan took a look and knew that Ai Ruyi's previous appearance was clearly due to excessive plastic surgery. Now she should have been repaired with the help of repair pills or something like that from Wujie City, which could be considered as a reformation.
"It's very good." The two sisters said.
Ai Ruyi looked at them gratefully, and sat obediently beside Gu Jiu, staying close to her.
Everyone was eating barbecue and chatting about each other's recent life, the atmosphere was very lively.
When they were almost done eating, Gu Jiu said, "Since you are all here, I will give you some props today."
The players were stunned at first, then started to make a noise, "Oh, the young lady is really generous!"
"Miss, why are you sending us props? What props are they? Did you get them in the game world?" Ge Guang asked with a smile.
Gu Jiu hummed, "I am now an A-level player. I can't use the props I had before. It would be a waste to leave them there. I might as well give them to you."
