This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 216, Phase Two Event, unlocked by watching 12 hours of Immortal Realm ads!

So he's just lying there like a corpse?
Jiang Liu was very dissatisfied.

He bought a backpack full of event items, intending to have a major battle with the third district. He didn't want to fight to the death, but he wanted to at least get a 100% permanent damage boost.

But now, these top players from Zone 3 only died thirty times and then stopped resurrecting, which makes me feel really awkward.

I haven't even used any strength yet and you guys fell down?
What should I do with all the event items in my backpack?

stand up!
Fight me like a warrior for three hundred rounds!
Eight Great Sect Masters: Can you act like a warrior and not use any event items?
Jiang Liu was unwilling to leave, so he sat down and began to collect the bodies, his eyes scanning the eight tombstones with eager anticipation.

Arise! Stand up and uphold the dignity of your Third District!
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
"Huh, is that all?"

Jiang Liu sighed, slowly stood up, and looked at the eight tombstones with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

If the eight big shots in Zone 3 don't revive and remain dead, then he's truly helpless.

What a piece of trash game! Can't they just add an item that forces players to revive?
Since the opponent isn't resurrecting, he can't waste any more time.

He spent several million spirit stones to buy four privileges, not to have him guard the corpse here.

The victory condition for the first stage of the event is the total number of rare and precious materials. He currently only has one rare material and one precious material, which is far too few to secure victory. He can't afford to waste any more time here.

"There are no gold or silver icons on the minimap; looks like I'll have to swim a hundred miles away to find them."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, no longer looking at the eight tombstones. He randomly chose a direction and hurried away, disappearing from the sight of the eight sect leaders in the blink of an eye.

One minute later.

"Damn, he's finally gone!"

"He's finally gone. I thought he was going to stay until the end of the phase."

"I'm speechless. Why does death deduct oxygen levels? Do tombstones breathe too?"

"It deducts 1 spirit stone per second, it hurts so much! If it doesn't leave soon, I'm quitting the event."

"Quickly, quickly, revive! Go to the sea to restore your oxygen levels!"

Swish swish!
Eight beams of white light appeared, and the eight sect leaders, after being resurrected, immediately flew wildly towards the sea.

Before they could even climb a few meters, a voice like that of a demon from hell suddenly came from behind them, startling them so much that they were instantly terrified.

"Water Prison Talisman!"

"Five elements in one line!"

"Haha, this is really goodbye!"

The eight sect leaders: "!!!!"

I'm a nima!

Jiang Liu's sudden attack turned them green with rage, turning them back into tombstones, and they dared not revive.

This boy is despicable, treacherous, and cunning; he must not be allowed to live!

After disciplining the eight sect leaders once more, Jiang Liu left feeling refreshed and satisfied.

He marched at a rapid pace, glancing at the small map in the upper right corner every now and then.

After swimming about three or four hundred miles, a silver icon suddenly appeared on the mini-map, making his eyes light up.

It's a local treasure!
Sure, I don't mind, as long as it's available.

He hurried toward the direction of the silver icon, and two minutes later, an octopus more than twenty meters long appeared in his field of vision.

"Water Prison Talisman!"

"Five elements in one line!"

[You have obtained 1 Profound-Rank Demon Core, 1 Profound-Rank Demon Bone, and the Earthly Treasure - Water Control Pearl]

With event items, killing event monsters is a piece of cake.

Even if you don't have the event items, you still can't defeat the Golden Core stage!

Another treasure was added to his backpack. Jiang Liu was overjoyed and his activity level was at its peak as he continued his search at the bottom of the sea.

Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes
A golden icon appeared on the minimap.

Huh?
How could this rare material have moved so quickly?
Could it be a player?
Sorry, players in Zone 3 were completely wiped out. Players in Zone 4, please behave yourselves.

Without saying a word, Jiang Liu sped toward the golden icon.

At the same time he noticed the other person, the other person also noticed him.

A wealthy player who possessed a rare treasure saw a player with one rare treasure and two rare treasures rapidly approaching on the minimap. He turned pale with fright and hurriedly turned to run away.

I was lucky enough to find one rare treasure, but that person had three?
Damn, he's here! He's here!

Don't come over here!

"Huh? Want to run?"

Upon seeing the golden icon on the minimap indicating that the enemy was fleeing in the opposite direction, Jiang Liu couldn't help but smile contemptuously and gave chase at full speed.

This lets you run. Holy crap, you run really fast!

After chasing each other for more than ten minutes, he finally saw the other person's back.

He's a Golden Core player from Zone 3, so there's no need to hold back.

"Five elements in one line!"

"Don't come over here!"

You have obtained a fragment of the rare material—Guanyin Jade.

The first phase of the activity will last for 24 hours.

For the past 24 hours, Jiang Liu has been wandering on the seabed and has never gone to the surface to breathe.

It's just deducting 1 spirit stone per second, consider it an offering to the game developers.

Wander around, look for icons, kill players in the three zones, and collect rare and precious materials.

At first, you could see a gold icon every half hour or an hour.

But as time went by, wild icons became almost impossible to find. There's no way around it; there are just too many players. Even if it were a needle in a haystack, with hundreds of millions of players, you'd find 30 needles by the time you got there.

Left with no other choice, he had to lower his priority in finding rare and precious materials and make killing the Golden Core cultivator in Zone 3, who grants permanent damage boosts, his top priority, while also taking the opportunity to steal rare and precious materials from other players.

but.

Players in Zones 3 and 4 are at least at the Foundation Establishment stage; there are no fools at that level.

Players who were lucky enough to find rare and precious treasures committed suicide without saying a word when they saw Jiang Liu charging towards them aggressively, leaving Jiang Liu speechless and frustrated.

The super-explosive privilege he purchased only allows him to obtain rare and precious treasures from opponents he personally kills; if the opponent commits suicide, the treasures will not be obtained.

Damn, what kind of trash game can even let you commit suicide?

The first half of the phase yielded fruitful results, while the second half yielded meager results.

Finally, 24 hours had passed, and he had only managed to grab 3 rare materials and 4 local treasures, totaling 10 points in the local area.

He managed to snag a total of 7 rare and precious materials, which is quite a lot, considering the developers only released 30. He got a quarter of them all, making a huge profit.

"I took quite a lot, but why do I still feel a little uneasy about it?"

Jiang Liu glanced at the rare and precious herbs in his backpack, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself. A vague sense of depression was eroding his heart, making him feel extremely bad.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he suddenly realized why he was feeling a bit down.

Because he only managed to snatch 7 rare and precious materials!

I didn't keep it all to myself!
In previous events, he almost always ate alone, but this time he only ate a quarter of it, and such a huge difference made him inexplicably unable to let it go.

Damn, you're not letting me have it all to myself? Are you deliberately targeting me, planner?
After thinking it through, Jiang Liu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

It was at this moment that the system voice sounded.

The first phase of the cross-regional event "Battle for Natural Treasures," titled "Deep Sea Treasure Hunt," has ended.

[A total of 4 rare materials and 10 rare items were obtained across the three zones, for a total of 18 event points.]

[A total of 6 rare materials and 10 rare treasures were obtained from the event across the four zones, with a total event score of 22 points.]

Based on the quantity of rare and precious materials, the coordinates of 9 islands can be obtained in the third region.

Based on the quantity of rare and precious materials, the coordinates of 11 islands can be obtained in the fourth region.

[Please check the island coordinates in the second phase of the event.]

The second phase of the cross-server event, 'Treasure Hunt on Demon Island,' is now open. Would you like to teleport?

【Yes】

As a series of activity sounds echoed in his mind, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The gap between players in Zone 3 and Zone 4 is still too obvious. Even with the premise of killing and looting, he only has 2 more rare materials than players in Zone 3.

If we exclude him, then District Four will be completely defeated.

But there's no need to worry!

I will, as always, lead the entire region to victory!
The final special reward will definitely be mine!

Teleport!
next second.

A white light enveloped his surroundings, and his entire body vanished from the spot in an instant.

Jiang Liu thought he would be teleported directly to the sea, but when he opened his eyes, the scene before him left him dumbfounded and full of questions.

Directly in front of me was a gigantic, semi-transparent screen.

On the screen, two lines of large, colorful characters were displayed.

This cross-regional event is specially sponsored by the Dragon King of the East Sea.

[Watch free ads to unlock the second phase of the event?]

Jiang Liu: “.”

The person was numb, stunned, and dumbfounded.

What kind of gameplay is this?
Every time he thought he could see through the planner's cunning moves, the planner would come up with something completely new.

Title sponsorship?

Watch an ad to unlock the second phase of the event?
Damn it, Laozi! It's a waste of your talent to have you as the lead planner for the Immortal Cultivation Era!

"I have nothing to say."

Jiang Liu was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. His eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of him. He opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't say a word. In the end, all his words could be reduced to just two words.

Awesome.

You win, I admit defeat.

Is that not good enough?

He wondered why the organizers of this cross-regional event were so generous, giving away large quantities of rare and precious materials that could sell for millions of spirit stones for free. It turned out they had found a sponsor!
The Dragon King of the East Sea, a member of the Heavenly Court's Dragon Clan—even as a mortal, he knew a little about them; they were one of the most powerful clans!

Come on, Dragon King, let me see what you're planning to do by spending so much money sponsoring this event.

Could it be that they're trying to sell products to us humble Foundation Foundation members?
Ha ha.

Jiang Liu sneered and tapped the play button at the bottom of the screen.

[This advertisement session lasts for 12 hours and cannot be skipped. You can proceed to the second phase of the activity after watching the entire session.]

The very first frame of this advertisement made Jiang Liu lose his temper, and he immediately burst into a tirade of profanities.

"Damn it! Twelve hours of commercials! Planner, have you lost your mind?!"

He had thought it was just an ordinary 30-second commercial, which is why he was so calm.

But who would have thought it would be 12 hours of commercials!

I was participating in a cross-server event, and I'm being locked down for 12 hours?!
