This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 257 Buying Resources with In-App Purchases! My Cheat Code Has Arrived!
Players in Zone 1 have three lives, while players in Zone 2 have four lives.

This isn't an event where you can buy unlimited lives for just 100 spirit stones; it's a crucial battle where you only have three or four lives.

At this moment, if it were the final moment of the battle, many top players would definitely fight to the death for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals employment contract.

But now, it's really not worth it for a large resource point.

Zhao Guanping and Wan Wulong were also torn. Other Golden Core players might not care, but they absolutely could not afford to lose their resurrection chances at this moment.

Being ranked 17th or 18th on the overall combat power list gives you a very good chance of securing a job offer, so every life is extremely precious and you should try your best not to lose them.

We dare not fight.

We cannot give in.

If the Taiyao tribe, as a national power, were to back down at this time, it would surely be ridiculed.

Taiye City is already engaged in activities that oppose the Heavenly Gang, and if Wan Wulong gives in, he will definitely be killed by Ye Longying.

Several hundred players from both sides blocked the entrance to the large resource point, facing each other in a tense standoff. The heavy atmosphere made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

at last.

After several seconds of silence, Zhao Guanping spoke.

"A large resource point will only produce one gold resource."

Zhao Guanping said calmly, "Whichever side finds this golden resource, this large resource point will belong to them, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Wulong's eyes lit up. Without much thought, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree."

This proposal is quite reliable; it avoids large-scale conflict and further wastes time, and it is fair to both sides.

"Then it's settled."

Zhao Guanping was not surprised by Wan Wulong's quick agreement, and then added, "If a conflict breaks out between individual players from both sides, they cannot continue to revive."

"Agreed, that makes perfect sense."

After finalizing the rules of the competition, Zhao Guanping and Wan Wulong stared at each other across the distance, their eyes blazing with intense anger. Finally, they both let out a cold snort and led their respective teams toward the main gate of Tianbing Elementary School.

then.

Push it open slowly.

A brand new large resource point has been opened!

Whichever side seizes the golden resources in Tianbing Elementary School first, Tianbing Elementary School will belong to that side!

The players standing behind followed Zhao Guanping into the primary school, each with an expression of barely suppressed excitement on their faces.

Fighting alongside a top player ranked seventeenth on the overall combat power list was something they could hardly imagine, but they never expected it to happen today.

Don't be fooled by the small difference between players in the mid-Nascent Soul stage and those in the Golden Core stage; they are worlds apart. Even in cross-server events, it's rare to see players ranked in the top 100 overall.

This is very similar to the situation in most games. Even though they are in the same region and you can often see the name of the super-rich player in the chat box or system announcements, you can hardly see the super-rich player in various game content, as if they are not in the same world at all.

In the world of cultivation, the wealthy and ordinary people each do their own thing, and this phenomenon is no exception.

Now that they have the opportunity to fight alongside the big boss, they are naturally very excited.

Except for one person.

Jiang Liu walked into Tianbing Elementary School with a bitter face, his heart filled with deep sorrow.

This was completely different from what he had imagined!
Having marched over 4,000 li, he intended to seize another large resource point for himself, and for this he had made ample preparations for battle, even willing to use his trump card again.

However, reality and ideals are often completely opposite.

When he arrived at the large resource point and saw the hundreds of players, his heart sank.

There are several hundred people, and he says he wants to monopolize it. Is that even possible?

Especially since there are two top-20 players on the overall combat power ranking supporting them.

He only needs to say one sentence: "Get out of here, all of you, this place is mine."

The next second, he could lie dead.

If you can't monopolize it, then find another large resource point?

That's even more impossible; if he leaves, it would mean he'd wasted his 4,000-mile journey.

This large resource point has some expert players; what if the next one, and the one after that, also has them?

It would be a waste of time to leave just because you can't have it all to yourself.

Moreover, returning empty-handed is not in his nature.

Left with no other choice, he followed Zhao Guanping and the others into Tianbing Elementary School, intending to serve as an unsung leader of the Taiyao Department and make some contributions to the department.

Although he can't monopolize it, it doesn't mean he has no chance of getting the majority of resources. On the contrary, he has the best chance of grabbing the gold resources.

because.

He knows where the golden resources are!
In the Qianyuan Building, he discovered a pattern.

The higher the rank in the room, the richer the resources inside!

The manager's room even has purple resources!

Based on this reasoning, the golden resources in Qianyuan Building should be in the chairman's office.

If we were to translate that to Tianbing Elementary School, it would be the principal's office!

Our goal: head straight for the principal's office!

The main goal is to secure the gold resources!
With many players vying for resources, there's no need to pick up low-level resources; only the unique gold resource can bring him a huge boost!

Jiang Liu was secretly pleased, but he didn't show much expression on his face. He silently followed behind Zhao Guanping, and as soon as he entered Tianbing Elementary School, his eyes scanned the many teaching buildings.

Hmm, very good. There are dozens of teaching buildings; that should be enough to keep you searching.

He glanced at the rows of teaching buildings, his gaze finally settling on the most magnificent main building in the center.

But he only stared at it for two seconds before looking away.

The principal's office cannot be in the main teaching building!

This was his judgment, based on his own experience.

In his primary school, the principal's office was not in the main building!

If the main building is unlikely, then it must be the annex.
Jiang Liu's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced almost imperceptibly at the four buildings next to the main building.

The other players in the group also saw the rows of chain-like school buildings and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"There must be nearly a hundred buildings here, right?"

"Searching for a single golden resource among so many resource points is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Could the golden resources be in the main building?"

"How is that possible? Putting the top-tier resources in the most prominent position, do you think the planner would be that kind?"

"Well, that makes sense. Given the developers' track record, they'll probably just throw it somewhere in a building, on some floor, in some toilet, and let the players search for it."

"Holy shit, don't even mention it, it's disgusting just thinking about it."

Jiang Liu: “.”

Holy crap, don't even go there. The planners really did something this monstrous.

Just as these players were discussing where to put the gold resources, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Look, there's an NPC here!"

A scream drew everyone's attention, including the group of magic-based players.

NPC?!
In the midst of the players' battle, NPCs even appear?

next second.

Jiang Liu felt gusts of wind sweeping past him, and dark shadows appeared before his eyes as all the players surrounded him.

Could the NPC in the elementary school be a security guard?

He thought this subconsciously, and then a deafening barrage of curses erupted around him.

"Damn your mother's plan!"

"Wasn't that a scheme orchestrated by Sima Yi?"

"You even have pay-to-win elements in the battle? Are you fucking broke?"

"When I didn't see the pay-to-win shop before the battle started, I thought the developers had changed their minds, but I didn't expect them to be here." "They showed their true colors in less than four hours; a leopard can't change its spots!"

"Awesome, spend money, spend a lot of money, anyway I can't afford it, I'm leaving first."

Amidst a chorus of furious curses, most of the players stormed into Tianbing Elementary School with dark faces, while only a few remained, looking hesitant.

Even Zhao Guanping and Wan Wulong were caught in the dilemma.

While the other players were cursing, Jiang Liu's eyes gleamed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to turn up slightly uncontrollably, as if he was about to burst into laughter.

Hahahahaha!
He's a pay-to-win merchant!
My cheat program has arrived!
There was no pay-to-win shop at the beginning of the battle, which was like cutting off his arm.

I thought I would have to fight the whole battle with a severed arm, but to my surprise, the severed arm grew back on its own!
Planner, you love me way too much.

Hurry up, make way for me, I'm going to spend a lot of money on in-game purchases!

Jiang Liu squeezed through with a big smile and saw a burly NPC wearing golden armor standing in the security room at the entrance. The NPC was expressionless and had the title of "Logistics Soldier" above his head.

Wow, it's actually a celestial soldier. Could this NPC be a human immortal?

With curiosity and anticipation, he poked the logistics soldier.

Then, a shop filled with all sorts of resources appeared before him.

[White resource, price 1000 spirit stones, limited to 10000 units]

[Blue resource, priced at 1 spirit stones, limited to 1000 units]

[Purple resource, priced at 10 spirit stones, limited to 100 purchases]

[Silver Resource, Price: 100 million Spirit Stones, Limited to 10 Purchases]

[Golden Resource, Price: 1000 million spirit stones, Limited to 1 purchase]

Worri? !
This is a pay-to-win shop that sells resources!
When Jiang Liu saw the various resources in the store, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he felt both amused and annoyed.

On one hand, various resources are deployed in the battle for control, allowing players to plunder them; on the other hand, various resources are sold at large resource points, allowing players to obtain them by spending money.

Are you playing games with the players from behind?

This resource shop has rendered all the goals that players have been fighting and vying for meaningless.

After spending ages frantically scrambling for resources, they discovered that all of them could be bought with money.
Haha, you've got some real talent for planning this!

He finally understood why there were so few large resource points.

Resources are scarce, which is why players will spend money to buy them.

No problem.

1 white resources, 1000 blue resources, and even 1 gold resource.

Such a large amount of resources is equivalent to having the resources of one and a half large resource points all to oneself.

Now, it only takes a small amount of spirit stones to obtain, and it's just a matter of a few taps on your finger.

No wonder other players are cursing; if it were his, he'd be laughing too. Anyway, he's all smiles.

I never imagined that my first gold resource would come from this.

"That's a whopping 5000 million spirit stones! That's outrageous!"

Jiang Liu's lips twitched violently after calculating the total price. The resource attribute that only takes effect in the battle was actually sold for such a high price. Did the planner really think that there would be any suckers who would pay for it?

Yes, he will be one.

He opened his backpack, checked his spirit stone reserves, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he still had more than 1000 spirit stones left.

If you can't afford it, give me a discount first.

The total price is 50 million spirit stones, but with a 0.1 discount, I can get it for 5000.

"I'm going to take this sucker for granted!"

Just as Jiang Liu was about to empty the resource shop, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the top and he suddenly discovered that the shop actually had two pages!

He is currently on a page called "Fake," and there is another page called "Real" behind it.

What does it mean?
He frowned and clicked on the two pages.

[Fake Items: Resources purchased in this shop can only be used in this battle and will disappear after the battle ends.]

[Real Items: Resources purchased in this shop will grant permanent attribute bonuses, regardless of the battle location.]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Surprised!

This time he was really shocked!
The attribute bonuses obtained from resources purchased in real stores are permanent!

what does this mean?
This means that he can also achieve a leap in strength during the competition, preparing for the next competition!
This sudden and enormous advantage left him somewhat disoriented, and he stood frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the resources in the store.

"Oh well, never mind, it's not necessary."

Beside him, Zhao Guanping hesitated for a few seconds, then finally sighed deeply and chose to give up investing spirit stones.

Spending 5000 million spirit stones to buy a five-day boost is a choice anyone would make.

This huge sum of money could fill a cheap limited-time item pool; there's really no need to waste it here.

Besides, he couldn't possibly come up with 5000 million spirit stones!

If resources can be obtained for free, why spend money to buy them?
As for the resources on the "Real" page, he only glanced at them and then stopped paying attention.

The price has tripled, and he doesn't believe anyone will buy it.

"Speechless. Even a contract to hire a celestial soldier or general might not cost this much, right?"

Zhao Guanping shook his head and was about to turn around and enter Tianbing Elementary School to search for golden resources when he saw Jiang Liu's eyes almost pop out of their sockets not far away.

That expression...she's actually smitten?!

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jiang Liu: "Have mercy, don't spend money!"

what?
Jiang Liu snapped out of his daze and was about to clear the two pages when a dark figure blocked the way for the logistics soldiers.

"Senior Zhao, what's wrong?"

He asked with a puzzled look.

"You're not thinking of buying resources with money, are you?"

Zhao Guanping looked at Jiang Liu with a solemn expression.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Jiang Liu nodded, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Can't we buy it?"

"Of course we can't buy it!"

Zhao Guanping said with a dark expression, "Didn't you see? The attribute bonuses obtained from resources can only be used in this battle, and the spirit stones you spend can only be used for five days!"

"Even white resources picked up everywhere cost 1000 spirit stones, and there's a chance they'll yield a Spirit Recovery Pill. What kind of family do you come from? What kind of power do you have behind you to be so extravagant?"

Players in the fourth region want to buy all the resources they can find. Don't they know how valuable spirit stones are?

Children are ignorant, so elders need to teach them.

As a player in Zone 1 and a senior member of the Taiyao Division, he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Liu be swindled out of a large sum of spirit stones by the game developers.

"Close the shop, I'll take you to gather resources!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Jiang Liu's arm and tried to forcibly take Jiang Liu away.

Jiang Liu: “????”

What do you want to do?
You're destroying a new player's motivation!
Let me go! Let me spend money on in-game purchases!

He had a wry smile on his face, knowing that Senior Zhao was thinking of him.

But he really doesn't need it!

Before he was pulled away, Jiang Liu maximized his attack speed, his fingers flying like the wind and his movements like lightning, rapidly clicking on two pages.

50 spirit stones, wiped out the fake shops!

150 million spirit stones, emptied the real store!

Senior Zhao, thank you for your concern.

But sorry, I'm a cheater!
