"Ding ding..."
"Side quest: Comprehensive suppression, destroying opportunities."
"Hidden Steps: When God closes a door for the Prince of Fortune, he will definitely open seventy, eighty, or ninety windows. After being suppressed, it will definitely rebound. A chance to defy the heavens is approaching! Please be sure to stop it!"
"Warm Tip 3: The Ferocious Mountains are densely populated with ferocious beasts and are extremely dangerous, but they are also the place of great opportunities. The chance for the Son of Heaven to succeed this time may be among them?"
"Completing results analysis..."
"Qin Yun's inner demons have been detected to have erupted, the old man is in deep sleep, the queen has left, the concubine is out of luck, and the fateful team has collapsed... A chance against the will of heaven has been successfully suppressed!"
“Mission accomplished!”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 800 exchange points, one chance to win a gold prize, and one chance to exchange for skill points."
"Current amount lost: 8,200,000."
When seeing this, Chu Tianxiao was a little stunned at first - what did this new 'opportunity to exchange skill points' mean
After taking a closer look at the instructions, he realized that this was the last of the three uses of the squandering amount - the three uses correspond to three opportunities, namely the opportunity to be infused with spiritual springs - relying on the squandering amount to improve cultivation, and the investment amount cannot be controlled, but the upper limit amount will be forcibly invested according to the authority; in addition, there is also the opportunity to draw a golden lottery - you can spend the squandering amount to increase the chance of good things appearing in the lottery and reduce the probability of blank spaces appearing.
And this last one... The opportunity to exchange skill points is that you can consume the amount of money spent to convert it into 'skill points' to improve the martial arts you have already learned, or on the basis of already holding genuine secrets or certain special conditions, consume skill points to learn martial arts, spells, magical powers, etc.... But it is closely related to the level of the system. In the first level case, no matter what kind of martial arts, the 'first level skill points' can only be used to upgrade to the fifth level - for example, for the Queyue Jitian Sword, you can use skill points to immediately upgrade to the fifth style of swordsmanship, but if you want to improve it further, you have to rely on 'second level skill points' - of course, you can also practice on your own and slowly realize it.
Moreover, the "skill points" are not the same for all martial arts. For some advanced martial arts, the "first-level skill points" cannot be used at all, or can only be upgraded by one level. All of these are maintained by the system's dynamic balance system...
As for the operation method, it is also very simple. Just spend a lot of money on a certain skill. When you spend enough money at one time, a plus sign will appear on the right side of the system interface. You can click it at any time to upgrade this skill. Of course, this skill refers to the magical power of martial arts, not skills in a broad sense. Chu Tianxiao inferred that it should be like this at least in the low-level system...
If the skill point level is not enough to upgrade, a reminder will be given to prevent the host from wasting money.
No matter what, the gains from this mission have already exceeded Chu Tianxiao's expectations.
He was about to take action, but at this moment, the main task that had not been done for a long time suddenly changed!
“Long-term continuous main quest: I abused my destiny thousands of times, the prodigal son vs. the prince charming!”
“Ding ding ding…”
"The next step of the long-term continuous main quest will be released."
“III: The little loser is growing stronger and stronger, and is facing his true destiny head-on!!”
Chu Tianxiao was slightly puzzled when he saw this change. The second step did not indicate the completion of the main task, so how could the third step come? But he understood after thinking about it. It should be the system default step II "March Appointment". Liu Ling basically won and waited for the harvest. During this period, he wanted to mess with himself as the host, so he sent out the third step in advance...
Of course, this is just Chu Tianxiao's own guess. Chu Tianxiao is too lazy to think too much about things at this level.
"Ding Ding... The task has been generated!"
"III: The little loser is growing stronger and stronger, and is facing his true destiny head-on!"
"Mission description: Please obtain a pot of 'Drinking God Wine' within two years to prove that you, as a prodigal son, have the ability to 'kill' the Prince of Fortune."
"Completion reward:????"
"Penalty for failure: directly kill the host!"
When Chu Tianxiao saw this task, he said to himself, "As expected."
In fact, starting from the belated 'Warm Tip 4' in the hidden step, Chu Tianxiao had some guesses - in the first two steps of the main task, it was just a preliminary confrontation between the prodigal son and the prince charming, but this long-term continuous task could not always be like this, so, if it continued to evolve, it would eventually become a killing game!
The big loser system... is finally going to start playing for real.
This III main quest was not beyond Chu Tianxiao's expectations, but... there was still something he didn't expect, that is - the system's pitfalls seemed to get worse as the main quest progressed...
See...
"Warm Tip 1: Step III is a phased reward task. Each time you obtain a main ingredient of the Divine Wine, you will receive a phased reward."
"Warm Tip 2: The recipe for the Divine Wine has five main ingredients - first, the Heart of Blood Wings; second, the Dream Spirit Pill; third, the Painting without Axis; fourth, the Tianyi Divine Water; fifth, the Tianji Stele Inscription."
"Ding Di... It is detected that the host has collected the easiest first material, the Heart of Blood Wings. 500 redemption points are awarded."
Chu Tianxiao silently read these two tips. Even though he was smart and calm, he couldn't help but sigh that the main quest of this system was only getting more and more tricky. His heart felt as if it was trampled by 100,000 grassland mud horses...
Others may not know the connection, but Chu Tianxiao has been improving day by day these days, and has gained a lot of knowledge by discussing real things with the naughty kid, so he naturally saw the clues at a glance...
"The first one, the Heart of Blood Wings, I won't talk about that. It was something that the Prince of Fortune risked his life to get. You can imagine how difficult it was to get. Fortunately... by chance, I got it."
"The second thing is Mengling Tiandan... Hehe, isn't this the Mengling Sect's treasured elixir? Or is it one of the few fifth-grade elixirs in the world?"
"The third thing... the idea of painting without an axis. I've never heard of it before and have no idea what it is. I can only ask around in Kyoto!"
"The fourth item... Tianyi Divine Water. I have heard of it, but it is the treasure of His Majesty the Emperor Zhou, right? I heard from my father that His Majesty treasures that thing very much. Do you want me to pluck the teeth from the mouth of the strongest man in the vast land of Shenzhou?"
"Well, although the first four are each despicable and hateful in their own way, they are still tolerable. The most outrageous one... is the fifth one! The Heavenly Secret Stele?! Hmm... In ancient times, it was a treasure that only existed in legends... It has been missing for who knows how many years, and the last time it appeared was when the Great Zhou was just established... Your despicable system should let me travel back in time to get it!"
"And... what on earth do these five things have to do with pairing with wine?"
Chu Tianxiao was so upset that he almost cried: "I have to collect five such ridiculous things within a year and find someone to mix them into wine?"
For a moment, Chu Tianxiao felt overwhelmed, but after thinking carefully and calmly, he felt that something was wrong. For example, if he really had to wait until all the materials were collected and the Divine Drinking Wine was prepared before he could compete with his true destiny, wouldn't he be suppressed by Chu He for a long time? And this was obviously impossible... The system's task was for the prodigal son to abuse the true prince, not the other way around!
“… There are no side quests to help me reduce the difficulty this time. It seems that the system is really playing… Well, I have to meet that ‘Old Drunkard Ning’ at three o’clock tonight to get more clues before I can make a decision…” Chu Tianxiao thought, “But even if this matter is exaggeratedly difficult, wasn’t the previous second step just as whimsical and looked like ‘no hope of completion’? But now, isn’t it just the harvest?”
"It turns out that everything depends on human effort!"
Chu Tianxiao thought about this and turned his gaze to Xu Qingya...
"That's great. Let's try and see if we can get the second main ingredient of the Divine Drinking Wine - the Dream Spirit Heaven Pill first."
Chu Tianxiao pondered the possibility of this matter in his heart, and then, he clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Qingya, and went straight to the point: "Your Excellency, the matter of Qin Yun has come to an end, but I still have an unwelcome request..."
