"Hurry, hurry up, immobilize it!"
"Master, it's no problem. Do you want me to cut it a few times first?"
"Go away, the first few of you said you would cut a few times first, but in the end you took away all the experience. This time I will do it myself!"
Outside an unnamed town, several young men in coarse cloths, holding simple wooden forks, were shouting and forking a ferocious black shadow on the ground. A young man in brocade clothes gritted his teeth but fearfully stepped forward with a knife. After hesitating for a long time, he finally closed his eyes and slashed with the knife.
One knife, two knives, three knives... He slashed at them without any order, and even cut off one of his own forks. The young man in brocade hacked wildly for a while, and the black shadow finally turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared without a trace in front of everyone. Only a few golden copper coins fell on the ground.
"Huh, finally done!" The young man in brocade stopped and let out a long sigh of relief. He stepped forward to pick up the few copper coins and weighed them in his hands. He couldn't help but spit out and cursed with disdain: "Bah, what a poor guy, he only lost so many copper coins."
"What the young master said is that there are poor people around this town, but as long as we reach level ten, we can challenge the bandits in Taohua Village. It is said that there is a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in that den of thieves." The young man in rough clothes stepped forward to please him and said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and upgrade!" Upon hearing this, the young man in brocade suddenly became energetic. He waved the steel knife in his hand and pointed at other black figures wandering not far away.
Yes, this is the drama that often takes place in the game world of Virtual God Realm these days.
As Li Haoran promoted gaming helmets to the secular world, the first people to enter the game were the rich and powerful. Although not all the children of powerful people are useless, we have to admit that most of them are quite useless, especially in this kind of hands-on aspect. Although this is a monastic and civilized world, it is not so extreme that it regards monasticism and martial arts as the highest level. "Everything is inferior, only studying is high" is still the mainstream in the secular world.
So, after discovering that it was difficult to upgrade alone, these powerful disciples came up with this method of upgrading with the power of numbers, just as Ye Zan expected. If you want to use this method, you must have someone who can handle it, otherwise why would others give you the bulk of their experience? We are all children of powerful people, and their status is there. It is impossible for anyone to be someone's servant, so they can only buy a few more ordinary gaming helmets and bring in all their real followers.
Although there is no functional difference between the three levels of gaming helmets designed by Ye Zan, they are also given some privileges in the game.
For example, the accounts of those high-end gaming helmets are equivalent to senior VIPs in the game. After entering the game, you can get two sets of gorgeous clothes for free. These brocade clothes are very cool in appearance and have no strength bonus, but they are undoubtedly very attractive to those rich and powerful children who have good reputation.
Mid-range gaming helmet accounts are junior VIPs and will also have some good-looking fashions to choose from, but they will obviously look worse than the high-end VIP fashions. The most common low-end gaming helmet does not have any privileges. After entering the game, you only have a pair of coarse cloth clothes.
In addition, senior VIPs also have a privilege, that is, they can directly establish junior gangs, and they will receive experience bonuses when fighting monsters with gang members. The purpose of setting up this privilege is to create demand for these powerful children against their subordinates so that more people can join the game. Anyway, Ye Zan is not picky about the identity of the players who enter the game. Every more people online means more mental energy.
Obviously, Ye Zan's method is still feasible. Although there are some people who want to be loners among these powerful children, most of them still like to form gangs. Pulling together a group of subordinates, asking them to control the monsters, and then going forward to kill the monsters to gain experience, this can be said to be a routine they are now very familiar with.
In just two months, this online game has become a very popular entertainment among the powerful children of the Tang Dynasty. So many people are surprised to find that there are a lot less cases of bullying of men and women in the market these days. Moreover, through Datang's communication channels, this kind of entertainment is still spreading rapidly to the entire Datang Kingdom, and many new people will appear in the game every day.
In addition, as the influence of the game expands, the sales of gaming helmets are naturally very hot. It is not an exaggeration to say that money is being made every day. This is only the Tang Dynasty. As the influence of the game spreads, there are also many people interested in this game in the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty.
However, this thing is just entertainment after all, not something related to the national economy and people's livelihood like rail transit, and it is difficult for countries to say anything through official channels. At present, only some people can obtain limited game helmets from the Tang Dynasty through businessmen or friends, so that they can experience the charm of this online game.
It's not that Ye Zan is unwilling to sell things to other countries. In fact, if possible, he hopes that everyone in the entire Shenhua Realm can enter the game world. But he also thought that while doing this, it would be best to promote the charity at the same time, and this requires doing it step by step.
You know, in the Tang Dynasty, the Yuqing Sect is an existence that no one dares to mess with. The Yuqing Charity Association has such a background, coupled with strict internal rules and regulations, it can operate as planned. But if it were placed in other countries, the Yuqing Sect would definitely not have such a great deterrent effect. After all, the Yuqing Sect could not control others. In this way, facing the huge profits from gaming helmets, it is difficult to guarantee that people from all walks of life will not have wrong ideas. It is even possible that the king of the country will confiscate all the profits to the national treasury with a single order, so how can we organize a charity meeting.
Now, Ye Zan can only wait for the Yuqing Charity Association to grow step by step in the Tang Dynasty, and then start developing to other countries when it has enough energy. Fortunately, the Yuqing Charity Association is based on the Yuqing Sect, a monastic sect, and may develop into other countries in the future. Otherwise, if it were a state-owned charity of Datang, other countries would not allow it to set foot in their own countries.
In the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Yuqing Charity Association did not attract much attention. No one even associated this charity association with the aloof Yuqing Sect at first.
Regardless of this world, it can be regarded as a world of monasticism and civilization, but between ascetics and so-called mortals, the ascetics generally regard mortals as ants, while the mortals regard the ascetics as legends. It is like living in two worlds. Although the two groups are not completely isolated, some mortals will join the monastic sect, and some ascetics with no future will enjoy wealth and honor in the secular world, but it is not enough to have much influence.
In fact, in the long history of the Shenhua Realm, there are really few monastic sects that have done charity in the secular world. Some secular Buddhist monasteries will do something like give away rice and porridge during disaster years, which can barely be considered charity. But everyone knows that because these temples generally do not pay taxes, many of them are actually local super landowners, and some have become places where filth and evil gather.
However, with the major actions taken by the Yuqing Charity Association, such as the reconstruction and construction of a large number of Tzu Chi kindergartens, the opening of free elementary schools, free teaching of livelihood skills, etc., people quickly became aware of the Yuqing Charity Association. "rich and wealthy". After seeing "rich people", it is natural that someone will make a wrong idea, and if a wrong idea hits the iron wall, you will know who the background of the Yuqing Charity Association is.
Ye Zan had no intention of hiding it, otherwise he wouldn't have called Yuqing Charity Association directly. Therefore, when the Yuqing Charity Association did more and more things and had an increasing influence on the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Yuqing Sect naturally gained a wave of reputation.
However, the merit gained from doing charity is not much, far less than that of rail transit and high-yielding crops. This is actually easy to understand. After all, what charity associations do now only affects individual individuals, or at most a generation. As for rail transit and high-yielding crops, they affect the entire secular world, and their effects are long-lasting.
In any case, under Li Haoran's operation, both things went very smoothly. Apart from constantly providing gaming helmets, Ye Zan didn't need to think much at all. After a few months, with the help of the False God Realm, Ye Zan finally felt that the mental loss had been made up. As long as he no longer sought death to refine the secret realm, there would be no need to go out of his way to make up for it in the future.
Ye Zan is still some distance away from the Yuanshen realm, so the spiritual energy generated by the Virtual God Realm during this period is of little use to him. In order not to waste this spiritual energy, and in order to make Yu Qingzong stronger, he decided to tell Mo Rushi about this matter and see if Mo Ru could use this spiritual energy.
He hadn't told Mo Rushi before, not because Ye Zan was stingy or didn't trust the other party, but because he was really too lazy to talk.
After all, to orthodox ascetics, this kind of absorbing other people's spiritual energy seems a bit like a demonic method. Even if this spiritual energy is just released from people's thought activities in the virtual god world and will not have any adverse effects on those people, it still takes a lot of words to explain.
As for Ye Zan's previous situation, he was simply too lazy to think. If it wasn't for the purpose of recovering as soon as possible, he wouldn't even think about doing things like online games and charity meetings.
In addition, Ye Zan himself is not a powerful soul, and he is not sure how to use these spiritual energies in the soul realm. Telling Mo Ru this now is just a try to see if Mo Ru can do anything else. Otherwise, he will have to wait until he ascends to the Yuan Shen realm before studying ways to use these spiritual energies.
Soon, Mo Rushi, who got the news, entered the Virtual God Realm and came to Ye Zan.
After listening to Ye Zan's explanation, Mo Ru was able to figure out the origin of spiritual energy, and then he put aside all the worries in his heart and began to meditate and refine himself in the Virtual God Realm. However, if you want to refine spiritual energy into spiritual thoughts, there is no precedent from ancient times to the present. Perhaps the only thing you can refer to is some methods of the devil.
Therefore, Mo Ru couldn't find a solution right away, and it still took some time to research and explore.
"Old Mo, I'll leave this matter to you. True Lord Qinghong and I have made an appointment to leave for the South China Sea in two days." After Mo Ru came out of the Virtual God Realm, Ye Zan He stated his next plan.
As soon as he heard that Ye Zan was going out to wander again, Mo Ru immediately opened his eyes and asked very eagerly: "Junior brother, is there something that you can't let the people below do, why do you have to go there yourself? You know , The South China Sea is a place where casual cultivators and sea monsters gather. There have always been various disputes, and it is definitely not a good place!"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't bear to go ahead with the things explained over there." Ye Zan pretended to be helpless, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Tongtian Peak, and threw the pot to Xuanyuan there. Sophisticated.
Although he was in the Virtual God Realm, Mo Ru immediately understood that what Ye Zan was referring to was not the direction in the Virtual God Realm, but the direction of Tongtian Peak in the outside reality. And what's over there at Tongtian Peak? Of course it’s Daozu Xuanyuan! In other words, Ye Zan went to the South China Sea this time because he was ordered by Xuanyuan Daozu, so what can others say.
"Then, how about letting the four great demon kings go with you?" Mo Ru knew that he couldn't stop him, so he could only suggest to Ye Zan.
The four great demon kings are all powerful at the soul level, and they are not inferior to ordinary soul powers. Especially because of the ban imposed by fellow Taoist Cangquan, they would never dare to neglect Ye Zan's safety. They can be said to be very qualified bodyguard candidates.
However, Ye Zan was not willing to take away the four great demon kings. After all, the situation in Yuqing Sect had been changing recently, and Mo Ru alone would inevitably not be able to take care of them. So, after thinking for a while, Ye Zan shook his head and said: "Let's do this. I will only take the Whale King with me. After all, True Lord Qinghong is here. I believe that no one below the Lord Faxiang can threaten me."
There are many islands in the South China Sea, and almost all the various forces are entrenched on the islands. There are not many forces on the actual land side. Therefore, after arriving in the South China Sea, if there is really any time to take action, I am afraid that it will probably be at sea. In comparison, the Whale King is naturally the best choice. Besides, Ye Zan also invited True Lord Qinghong, who was a famous figure back then. Even if his strength is restored to 70% to 80% now, he is still not comparable to ordinary souls.
Moreover, more importantly, Ye Zan himself does not rely solely on others to protect him. The release of Yuan Shen mechas and Zerg Taoist soldiers is enough for his opponents to drink. What's more, if you really meet Taoist Faxiang, what will happen even if you take all four demon kings with you? When Cangquan Taojun was able to capture four demon kings at once, couldn't other Taoist Faxiang do the same? .
