This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 345 Cyberpunk Heavenly Court Style?
[You have synthesized the Sky-tier costume—Meng Po]

[You have synthesized the Sky-tier costume—Erlang Shen]

You have synthesized a Sky-tier costume—Queen Mother of the West.

You have crafted a Sky-tier costume—Sun Wukong.

Even with the 0.1 discount, Jiang Liu still spent tens of millions of spirit stones to successfully synthesize all seven sets of fashion items.

In terms of actual price, it would be over a billion spirit stones.

Is it too much?

There are way too many of those.

If you use these spirit stones to draw limited-edition items, you can get at least five or six limited-edition items.

Is the combat power boost from limited-time items dozens of times stronger than the stat boost from costumes?
It's fair to say that using spirit stones to synthesize costumes is completely cost-effective.

But the problem is, who buys fashion for its cost-effectiveness?

Isn't the point of buying clothes to look cool?
"Seven outfits, finally all combined."

Jiang Liu let out a soft breath and looked at the newly made Sun Wukong costume with a smug look.

[Fashion: Sun Wukong]

[Rank: Sky]

[Attribute: Magic Resistance Damage +300%]

Special effects: Somersault Cloud, Fiery Eyes, Golden Cudgel

[Exclusive Fashion Skill: Monkey King's Retinue (You can summon 100 monkeys of equal cultivation level to yourself, with a maximum cultivation level not exceeding the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage)]

In the rendering, his character model wears a divine armor that is half gold and half fire, stands on a somersault cloud, has a golden cudgel floating behind him, and when his fiery eyes open and close, ten meters of golden light bursts out, just like a laser, which is quite frightening.

Majestic, sacred, and invincible!

But Jiang Liu was still not satisfied!
"Why is the outfit's exclusive skill summoning monkeys?!"

Jiang Liu muttered in dissatisfaction, "Sun Wukong has so many signature skills, and in the end you just randomly gave me a summoning monkey skill?"
Planner, you're really showing a lack of respect for your consumers.

108,000 miles, 72 transformations, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff), anything is possible, what's so good about summoning monkeys? Do I need a hundred tool monkeys?

"Fine, I'll let it go since you can transform into Sun Wukong."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, hurriedly put on the Sun Wukong costume, and then clicked on the transformation function.

next second.

His entire body suddenly changed.

From the flowing river, he became Jiang Wukong!
It fulfilled my childhood dream!

But it's only half round!
"Haha, I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Hmm?"

Jiang Liu transformed into Sun Wukong and was about to burst into laughter when his eyes suddenly caught sight of his arm, and his laughter abruptly stopped.

Ok?
My monkey hair?
He looked down at his arm, his face filled with disbelief.

On his arms, there wasn't monkey hair, but steel!

This is a steel arm!
Jiang Liu: “????”

Jiang Liu looked at his right arm, which was flesh and hair, and then at his left arm, which was made of steel. He was dumbfounded when he compared the two arms.

What's going on here?

Did the Monkey King have his limbs amputated?
How come one of its arms is made of iron?!
Jiang Liu looked bewildered and hurriedly took out a mirror from his backpack to look at himself.

You won't believe it until you take a picture!
Half of his monkey body is made of steel!

After transforming into Sun Wukong, he has half monkey body and half steel body, which looks very cyberpunk!

"No... this isn't right, is it?"

Jiang Liu scratched his head, completely baffled. Whose Sun Wukong is a robot?

This is not the Monkey King I remember!

"Damn, how did Sun Wukong turn into a robot monkey?"

His face darkened slightly, and he turned around and put on Erlang Shen's costume again, transforming himself into Erlang Shen.

Erlang Shen is the same!
The third eye was actually a fake!
Holy crap, how come Erlang Shen's third eye has become a fake eyeball?
This is unreasonable!

It's not just a fake telescope, but also a steel arm made of some unknown material.

He refused to believe in superstitions and changed into the clothes of the Queen Mother of the West, transforming himself into her.

The Queen Mother of the West is the same; she is half human and half mechanical, just like an artificial AI.

"AI? Oh no!"

Jiang Liu's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.

Could this Heavenly Court be facing an AI crisis?
The Heavenly Court has been overrun by an AI army, and all the gods have been mechanized!

The flesh and blood are weak and the machine soars!

Could this be for real?
"Haha, how is that possible?"

The thought had barely crossed Jiang Liu's mind when he rejected it.

Has the Heavenly Court been overrun by an AI army?

How can it be!

Those are gods!

No matter how powerful your AI is, can it outperform a god?
If AI controls the physical body, and even immortals can have their souls leave their bodies, how could AI possibly control them?
But if it's not mechanical ascension, why are the gods they transform into half-mechanical beings?
"Could it be that cyberpunk is all the rage in Heaven now?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, "That seems to be possible, after all, the Heavenly Court has even made a game called 'Cultivation Era' and has super servers with AI intelligence and such."

With these elements present, it's quite normal for cyberpunk to become popular.

but
You're into cyberpunk, but I want the original divine transformation!
What's the point of me dressing up as a cyberpunk version of Sun Wukong? If I wear this out, people will just think I'm cosplaying a pirated version.

This is ridiculous! You gods can just casually change your bodies to sell fashion items and fleece consumers, but at least put on your real bodies first!

"It would be better to just wear fashionable clothes."

Jiang Liu complained, shook his head, and directly contacted the illusion, putting on a Sun Wukong costume and then changing into the Antarctic Light Wings.

He was clad in golden armor, riding a somersault cloud, with the Holy Sun and the Golden Cudgel behind him. He was surrounded by an inviolable holy light, and with each flap of his more than three-meter-long wings, light particles rained down.

The sun god has descended!

Wearing this out would be a complete disaster!

"This money wasn't wasted, was it?"

Jiang Liu looked at his outfit and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

If you were to spend over a billion spirit stones to buy this set, it would be quite expensive.

But if it's only ten million spirit stones, then what more could you ask for?

Putting aside the appearance value, the attributes added by just the two illustrations are worth tens of millions of spirit stones!

"I don't know why, but I have a strange urge to travel across the vast lands of Central China."

Jiang Liu stroked his chin, a thought flashing through his mind, and then entered the Great World, teleporting to Zhongzhou.

Just as he was about to take this set of fashionable wings to explore Zhongzhou, he saw his friends list in the lower right corner suddenly flash.

Upon opening the message, I saw it was from Miao Qingfei, my newly recruited subordinate.

[Miao Qingfei: Junior Brother Jiang, we've arrived in the Crimson Flame Divine Continent. Where are you?]

So fast?
Jiang Liu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "How much time have I spent buying wings and costumes?"

So now the question is, should I go to Zhongzhou to show off, or go back to Chilian Shenzhou to find a beautiful female NPC to show off?
Of course, I'll go back to the Crimson Flame Divine Continent!

He might get beaten up if he tries to show off in Zhongzhou, but it's different in Chilian Shenzhou; he can now sweep through it all.

Teleport to Crimson Flame Divine Land.

After returning to the Crimson Flame Divine Continent, he sent another message to Miao Qingfei.

[Jiang Liu: Where are you?] [Miao Qingfei: Entrance to the Crimson Flame Divine Continent]

How would I know where the entrance to the Crimson Flame Divine Continent is?

He opened the mini-map and looked at it several times from top to bottom before finally finding the entrance from Zhongzhou to Chilian Shenzhou.

First, click to teleport to the surrounding area, then flap the Antarctic Light Wings and fly towards the direction of Miao Qingfei and the others.

Finally, he experienced the thrill of speed!
With the addition of a full wing encyclopedia, his speed is now off the charts, comparable to the Mad Dragon Purple Lightning.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose, and under the sweep of the Antarctic Light Wings, his body was like a walking vortex, even bursting with a cracking sound.

In less than five minutes, he arrived at the location of Miao Qingfei and the others.

A whirlwind of light and dust rained down from the sky, and he was greeted with incomparably beautiful praise!
As soon as Jiang Liu arrived, a group of beautiful women surrounded him, chattering and spewing vulgarities.

"Junior Brother Jiang, is it true that you give us 40 contribution points a day?"

"Junior Brother Jiang, where is the Nine-Layer Demon Realm?"

"Junior Brother Jiang, will it be dangerous for us to go to the Ninth Level Demon Realm?"

"Junior Brother Jiang, we want to make money, we're not risking our lives, can you help us?"

Jiang Liu: “.”

Jiang Liu listened for a long time, and his face gradually darkened.

These little bitches are all concerned about their wages and safety, but nobody cares about his new clothes and wings!

Don't you ladies love my gorgeous and powerful fashion wings?

Damn it, if you guys don't like it, why am I even showing off my yarn?

"Stop arguing!"

Jiang Liu roared angrily with a dark face, stunning everyone present.

Then, he pulled out his Taiyi Card and waved it vigorously at the female NPCs: "Give out the money on the spot, line up one by one!"

"Great!"

"That's 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points in a single day!"

"Junior Brother Jiang, you're so handsome!"

"Junior Brother Jiang, do you have a Daoist partner?"

Upon hearing that money was to be given out, the more than ninety fairy NPCs instantly became excited and lined up according to their cultivation level without saying a word.

They earn 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points a day, which is 30 more than they did as the front desk staff in the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!
With such high salaries, as long as their lives aren't in danger, they're willing to work until they're promoted!
There are a total of 96 fairy NPCs. If each one has 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points, then the total is 3840 million Immortal Alliance contribution points.

It's only a little over 3000 million; he can easily recoup his investment by casually grinding in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

After distributing salaries, he immediately summoned the Supreme Dragon Boat, waved his hand, and shouted, "Get on board, let's head to the Nine-Layer Demon Realm!"

Leading 96 NPCs at the Integration Stage, they marched in a mighty force straight into the Ninth Level Demon Realm.

This time, he'll grind until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage before emerging from seclusion!
Before long, they arrived at the entrance to the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

You have entered the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm—the Extreme Gold Demon Realm.

In an instant, the world changed, the wind and clouds rose, and demonic energy roared!
The moment they entered the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm, the chattering fairy NPCs suddenly fell silent. They stared at the gloomy sky and the overwhelming demonic energy, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

From birth to their union, they never left Zhongzhou, and they had never even met many demonic cultivators. They had always been in seclusion at the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters.

The sky over Zhongzhou is bright, the air is fresh, and a sweet, ethereal atmosphere pervades the land.

As for the Nine-Layer Demon Realm, the sky is black, the air is foul, and demonic energy that can be seen with the naked eye is everywhere.

This sudden change startled them, and they were momentarily speechless.

"This is the Nine-Layered Demon Realm."

Miao Qingfei's expression changed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She asked Jiang Liu, "Are you sure it's safe here?"

Jiang Liu: “Emmmm.”

To be honest, the first few floors are definitely safe, as they are all Nascent Soul level monsters who can't do anything to these Fusion level women.

But the problem is, he brought this group of fused women to the Ninth Level Demon Realm so that they would go down to the later levels!

If they just wander around the first few floors, what's the point of having them?
I can speedrun through the first five floors by myself!

Even so, Jiang Liu still said to Miao Qingfei very seriously, "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe. If you don't trust me, don't you trust money?"

"I, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, can still rack up hundreds of millions of Immortal Alliance contribution points here. What are you bunch of Integration Realm cultivators afraid of?"

Miao Qingfei thought about it and realized that it made sense.

He's not afraid of a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, so why should we, a group of combined cultivators, be afraid?

With 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points a day, it's normal to take some risks, right?

"Where are the demonic cultivators?"

Miao Qingfei looked left and right, but could only see a desolate wilderness, and could not find a single demonic cultivator.

"Don't worry."

As Jiang Liu spoke, he steered the Supreme Dragon Boat toward the already marked coordinates of the Absolute Gold Sect.

A few minutes later.

He arrived at the Absolute Gold Sect with 96 NPCs at the Integration Stage.

This time, it really is the righteous alliance of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance that has attacked!
"Who dares to force their way into my Absolute Gold Sect!"

The Sect Master of Juejin Sect flew out with the five elders, and when he saw the ten-thousand-meter-long warship lying across the sky, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Hahaha, Sect Master Juejin, you've finally met your match!"

Jiang Liu stood atop the dragon head of the Supreme Dragon Boat, looking down at the Sect Master of the Absolute Gold Sect. He raised his hand and shouted, "Sisters, let's show these demonic ants our strength!"

next second.

The auras of 96 Nascent Soul stage cultivators suddenly erupted, and spiritual energy surged out like a tide, blowing away all the demonic energy in the sky!
"Wow, there are so many powerful cultivators at the Fusion Realm level!?"

The Sect Master of Juejin was so frightened by the auras of these 96 Nascent Soul stage cultivators that his face turned pale and his expression was one of utter despair.

"The righteous alliance has attacked!"

"Heaven has forsaken my Juejin Sect!"

"All disciples of the Absolute Gold Sect, prepare for battle!"

"We, the Juejin Sect, would rather die than submit!"

Swish swish!

Nearly a thousand disciples of the Juejin Sect flew out in unison, standing behind their sect leader with expressions of unwavering resolve, and shouted, "We swear to live and die with the Juejin Sect!"

Jiang Liu was delighted, and so were the 96 fairy NPCs at the Fusion stage.

OMG!

There really are so many demonic cultivators in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm!
Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation... Aren't we just killing indiscriminately?

"Junior Brother Jiang, what do you say?"

Miao Qingfei suppressed her excitement and asked Jiang Liu.

"What do you mean by 'how'? Just get started!"

Jiang Liu waved his hand casually: "Let's finish this quickly so we can move on to the next match."

There's a next game?!

Miao Qingfei's face was flushed. With a flash of her jade sword, she stepped onto the end of the boat and flew towards the Juejin Sect members.

"Sisters, it's time for us to get some experience!"

In their eyes, killing demonic cultivators is a form of training.

It offers opportunities to gain experience, earn money, and avoid life-threatening risks.

Is there really such a good job in this world?
