This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 271 The final day of the battle!
Planning is paramount; no further explanation is needed.

Airdrops rain down on you, large resource points rain down on you, and pay-to-win NPCs rain down on you.

This is no different from the planners openly giving him freebies.

If you treat me with respect, I will treat you with even greater respect.

The planner gave him face, and he was very grateful. He felt he could not repay such a great kindness, so he could only spend money to show his respect.

Jiang Liu took two steps toward the Heavenly Soldier Logistics Soldier and opened his shop with great anticipation.

Well, there's nothing to look forward to. It's exactly the same stuff that the logistics guy I met before sold.

There are two shops, one fake and one real; one increases combat power in battles, and the other increases combat power in the game.

Similarly, they sell 1 white resources, 1000 blue resources, 100 purple resources, 10 silver resources, and 2 gold resources.

Two shops, each costing 1 million spirit stones, for a total of 2 million spirit stones, equivalent to the harvest from two large resource points.

Would any idiot spend 2 million spirit stones in a battle?

There won't be any.

Unless he's at a 0.1 discount.

2 million spirit stones are enough to fill up two limited pools of items. Why would I buy this when there are so many other things I could do?
Buying a bunch of lottery tickets and opening a bunch of useless items is a pay-to-win project with even lower cost-effectiveness than gacha pulls, so nobody would actually buy it.

We've secured 2 white resources.

2000 blue resources secured.

200 purple resources, acquired.

We've secured 20 silver resources.

Two gold resources, acquired.

No one would buy it for 200 million spirit stones, but can we tolerate 2 million spirit stones?

You have activated white resources.

You have activated the blue resource.

You have unlocked purple resources.

You have activated silver resources.

There's not much to say about the white, blue, and purple resources; they're all the same stuff. What he's most interested in are the silver and gold resources.

20 silver resources yielded a total of 75 invincibility runes, 200% increase in all attributes, 100% HP bonus, 20 rotten peach pits, and 20 drops of rotten peach juice.

That's right, it's that rotten peach that can instantly restore 50% HP and MP. Jiang Liu was overjoyed to find such a top-quality item in the silver resources.

You have activated the golden resource and gained 1 more resurrection attempt.

You have unlocked a golden resource, gaining +200% to all attributes.

All attributes again!
Jiang Liu's eyes brightened slightly, showing a mixture of disappointment and satisfaction.

His current attributes have already increased by several thousand, and his overall strength far exceeds that of a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. Even if he were to increase them further, the improvement would be negligible.

What he lacks now is an extremely powerful high-grade spiritual weapon and an extremely powerful high-grade spiritual technique!
Just like Ye Longying's Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash that wiped out hundreds of miles!

Stop adding stats to me, can't you just give me some good skills and equipment?
Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, placing even greater importance on winning this battle!

He has no second or third battle to fight for; he must win a spot as a Heavenly Soldier or General in this battle!
Then, while others were playing their second and third matches, he seized the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a truly high-level player!
The only way to achieve a significant improvement in the shortest amount of time is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he not only receives the best value-for-money breakthrough benefits, but also a new immortal appearance. These two things alone are enough to make him leap forward in his development.

After the three battles, there will be a cross-server exchange event, followed by the final battle for the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

What he needs to do is break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the cross-server exchange event, at the latest before the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Otherwise, with only a minor Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, he truly wouldn't have the strength to snatch one of the four available spots from among so many powerful figures.

Therefore, he really didn't have time to participate in the second and third battles. If he wanted things to go smoothly afterward, he had to win the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General spot in this battle!
After consuming a large amount of resources, Jiang Liu dared not waste a single moment and went straight into this large resource point, searching for the resources in the point layer by layer as quickly as possible.

You have acquired a white resource.

You have acquired the blue resource.

You have collected a purple resource.

You have acquired a silver resource.

You have picked up a golden resource (item) and gained 1 Cataclysmic Strike.

More than an hour later.

He left the large resource point with an even stronger aura and headed towards a nearby smaller resource point.

It must be admitted that the resources at large resource points are indeed abundant. If he hadn't been carrying an employment contract, he would have definitely gone to compete for those large resource points again.

Unfortunately, you can't have your cake and eat it too. In order to keep the employment contract, he could only choose to circle around the perimeter of the map and pick up trash.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

In a large resource point in a very distant place.

"Big sister! Big sister! We've found it! We've found it!"

Wan Wulong scurried up behind Ye Longying, knelt down on one knee with a thud, and exclaimed excitedly, "The members below have spotted Jiang Liu again, just 50,000 miles away!"

Ye Longying casually picked up the golden resource from the ground, glanced at Wan Wulong, frowned slightly, and asked with disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! This time it's definitely right!"

Wan Wulong said with certainty, "Our members took photos and confirmed it's that kid. The red arrow on his head looks like an antenna, there's no doubt about it!"

He was afraid that Ye Longying wouldn't believe him, so he even sent her a photo of Jiang Liu.

Wow, he's actually a handsome young man?
Ye Longying glanced at Jiang Liu's photo, raised an eyebrow, and the skepticism on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a playful sneer.

"Let's see where you run now!"

She murmured to herself, raised her hand to summon the Demon Sky Battleship, and once again flew towards Jiang Liu's coordinates.

Once or twice is bad, but not a third or fourth time. I refuse to believe that we can't win back the first offer letter the third time!
Another hour or so passed.

Ye Longying successfully arrived at this place. High in the sky, she glanced down at the vast area and asked without turning her head, "He didn't run away, did he?"

"Absolutely not!"

Wan Wulong replied decisively, "When I found him, I had already mobilized the members of Taiye City nearby to surround him. If he wanted to escape from here, he would definitely be discovered!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Longying nodded slightly, her playful expression growing stronger as she slowly raised the Black Dragon Crescent Blade in her hand.

"Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash!"

ten minutes later.

Ye Longying stared expressionlessly at the ruins that had become thousands of miles of land. The murderous aura emanating from her body was as thick as if she had just emerged from the deepest hell. The raging demonic energy covered the sky and revealed her current mood.

The third attempt ended in failure!

That kid got away again!
Could it be that this first job offer is truly not meant for me?

She was filled with deep doubt. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand why a little Karami could hold a contract for so long. Were all the players on the power ranking list useless?

Why don't you come and take him away from me!

If you steal him, and I steal you back, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Having narrowly missed Jiang Liu three times, she already felt she was incompatible with that newbie player. Wasting so much time was pointless; she might as well let someone else try. Behind Ye Longying, Wan Wulong had already knelt down in the fifth minute, trembling and questioning his very existence.

Isn't it human?

There are even photos, so why did the person run away again?
He now felt that Jiang Liu was his nemesis. He had taken his life back in Tianbing Elementary School, and now he had made Jiang Liu and his boss run around for nothing three times.

He was stunned; he felt his status in Taiye City was about to plummet.

You have been demoted to an inner disciple.

You have been demoted to a regular disciple.

Wan Wulong: "."

I, a top player ranked 18th on the overall combat power list, have actually become the lowest-level ordinary disciple!
I am not satisfied!
I cried, I refuse to accept this!

Jiang Liu, this son of mine, I swear I will not rest until I avenge this grudge!
He gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes, and vented his anger at Jiang Liu.

"no more chance."

After demoting Wan Wulong to an ordinary disciple, Ye Longying said calmly, "If you receive any more news, you don't need to tell me, understand?"

"Understand"

Wan Wulong asked with a gloomy expression, "Aren't you going to arrest him?"

"The third airdrop is coming; there's no need to waste time on him."

Ye Longying said calmly, "He will appear in the final round. We can take revenge for these three times then."

She wasn't giving up; she was just suppressing her anger. After all, the finals were only a few days away, and she could hold back.

When the time comes, she will definitely show that kid what the time of annihilation is, and what the wrath of the number one player in the entire server is!

"withdraw!"

The cherry blossoms in the night came and went in a hurry, but they did not meet on the river.

Ten minutes after Ye Longying left, Jiang Liu silently emerged from underground, craned his neck to look around at the ruins, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Can we play this now?
Can we play this now?
Why are you always chasing me?!

From the moment he snatched the employment contract until now, he's either on the run or waiting to run away. Is this game even playable anymore?

If he weren't so insecure about being able to beat the number one player in the entire server, he would have jumped out to vent his anger!

Is it really that awesome to launch the server two years earlier?

Just you wait, I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer. Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will avenge this interception!

Jiang Liu gritted his teeth and secretly vowed in his heart that he would not be a man if he did not avenge this grudge!
He suppressed his frustration deep inside and silently picked up the scattered resources on the ground.

Resources are everywhere, hey, it's so great to have someone work for you!

A few hours later.

[Attention all players, the third airdrop has been dropped!]

Jiang Liu is collecting resources.

A few hours later.

[Attention all players, the fourth airdrop has been dropped!]

Jiang Liu is picking up trash.

Several more hours passed.

[Three days remain until the end of the first battle for celestial soldiers and generals. The third batch of large resource points is now being deployed.]

What about large resource points?

That's a slap in the face!
After Ye Longying gave up the pursuit, Jiang Liu spent the next day peacefully.

He was constantly on the edge of the outermost poison circle on the map, and with the airdrop not flying in his direction, he could no longer see other players from his current position.

With no pursuers and no other players, Jiang Liu has finally entered the most stable period of development since the start of the battle.

Even if we don't encounter large resource points, it doesn't matter, as long as we are steadily improving.

[Attention all players, the fifth airdrop has been dropped!]

[Attention all players, the sixth airdrop has been dropped!]

The third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day.
Finally, the final day of the battle has arrived!

How large is the poison circle?

As the final day of the battle arrived, Jiang Liu opened the map and glanced at the current size of the poison circle.

There is also an area of ​​about 5,000 li in radius!
Upon seeing this range, Jiang Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the shrinking speed of the poison circle has increased several times, if it continues to shrink at this rate, the final circle should still be about a thousand miles in radius.

If the area shrinks from a thousand miles to the last second, his chances of survival will be much greater!

"Should we start using the earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) now?"

Jiang Liu frowned in thought. As the space he could move around in became smaller and smaller, the chances of encountering other players also increased. If he were to run into another player within a mere ten thousand miles, it could very likely cause unimaginable accidents.

He's already survived to the last day; if something unexpected happens, he'll regret it terribly.

Should we take the huge risk of gathering resources for a few more hours, or should we play it safe and start using our underground teleportation technique now?

He chose the second option.

"Come forth, Golden Spatula Sword!"

Jiang Liu summoned the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword, forcefully pointed it at the ground, and twisted the hilt with both hands, causing the sword tip to spin rapidly like a top.

In just one second, his figure disappeared from the ground, plummeting straight down at an extremely fast speed.

As they dug and filled the pit, a long and narrow passage appeared underground, undiscovered by anyone.

1,000 meters, 3,000 meters, 6,000 meters
He kept digging until he reached a depth of 10,000 meters before stopping, and even then he still felt a little uneasy.

After hiding himself 10,000 meters underground, he opened the mini-map, checked his location, and slowly moved his gaze across the map until it stopped at the very center.

Now that we've already hidden underground, there's no need to linger on the outer edge. Let's go straight to the very center of the final circle and wait!

You guys fight to the death, I'm reserving a spot for you!
While digging a tunnel toward the center of the map, Jiang Liu also took the opportunity to assess his own trump cards.

What are the trump cards that can play a decisive role at the last moment?
Transform into a golden dragon, gaining 2 minutes of invincibility.

Transform into a true phoenix, invincible for 2 minutes.

120 invincibility charms, each granting 5 seconds of invincibility, total 600 seconds, or 10 minutes of invincibility.

That's 14 minutes of invincibility! Yay!
Nine resurrections, plus this extra life, make ten lives in total.

Two Cataclysm Strikes can unleash two smaller Cataclysms, but their power is unknown.

The active effect of the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword can consume 60% of maximum health to summon a remnant soul of a ten-thousand-year-old blood dragon. Its power is unknown.

The superior-grade spirit-level item, the Blood Dragon Skull, was dropped by the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations. It is already full of energy and can unleash a fatal blow on enemies within range. I don't know how powerful it is.

A top-tier dragon boat, I wonder how many seconds it can last at full durability.

These are the key items in his possession that can play a decisive role.

Is that enough?
not enough.

Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "We're still too poor."
