This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 352 Qilin Jade, Qilin Challenge
Cross-server events involve PvP against players from other servers; who would want to stay and play that?

If word got out that he stayed home, people would think he was a coward!
Taiyao tribe was unwilling, Taiye City was unwilling, and Jiang Liu and the others were equally unwilling.

And so, after a brief stalemate, no one mentioned staying behind anymore.

Since none of them are willing, then none of them should stay.

Anyway, there's nothing much to guard at home. Let outsiders pick up the Qilin Jade lying around. The Azure Dragon Divine Beast is still sealed, so no one can hurt it.

"Since we're launching a full-scale attack, where is our target?"

Night Sakura calmed down and slowly asked, "Asia server, Africa server, West Coast server?"

"There cannot be a single objective."

As soon as Ye Longying finished speaking, General Yang said, "If the target is singular, it could escalate into a diplomatic incident."

Players on the Chinese server represent the Chinese nation. If they relentlessly attack a single server, it could easily create a misunderstanding that the Chinese nation is dissatisfied with that server.

If that's the case, then it's terrible.

Yoru Oboro Sakura: "."

Jiang Liu: “.”

other people:"."

Upon hearing General Yang's words, everyone was speechless.

No, we're just playing a game, is it really that big of a deal?

It even caused a diplomatic incident, which put the brothers in a difficult position.

If even choosing a PvP opponent requires considering the diplomatic implications, is this game even playable?
But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, China is a great power, and great powers always have to consider many things in this regard.

Although they are just players, they represent the Celestial Empire. They can't go out and tarnish the country's reputation, can they?

Jiang Liu felt a little guilty, because his plan was to search the entire map for Japanese players and beat them up.

Now imagine if he were to get rid of it, and Japanese players were to complain on foreign websites that Chinese players were bullying them, wouldn't that be a diplomatic incident?

Sigh, they're still too young and have no political awareness whatsoever.

Looking at the others, their eyes were also flickering, and they remained silent with their heads down. It seemed that there were quite a few players who shared the same thought as Jiang Liu.

There's nothing I can do; I just want to take down those Japanese players who are living a comfortable life. What can I do about it?

"If this won't work and that won't work, then what's the point of discussing it?"

Ye Longying said with annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense and just take action. Let's unseal the Azure Dragon Divine Beast first."

Waaaaah, she also wants to be a Japanese player in a sheer dress.

The players from Taiyao and Taiyecheng exchanged glances and said in unison, "Then let's go to the Asia server!"

Isn't the "Asia server" referring to players from Japan?

"never mind."

General Yang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "We'll go to the West Coast server region, and Taiye City will go to the Asia server region. As for you..."

He turned to look at the four lone Jiang Liu members: "Let's go to the non-server region."

The Celestial Empire's 400 Nascent Soul cultivators were divided into three groups; surely this shouldn't cause another diplomatic incident?

Upon hearing General Yang's assignment, Jiang Liu clearly showed his dissatisfaction.

What kind of server is that?
Aside from the wealthy elites of Dubai, can anyone else afford to play this game?

"alright."

Jiang Liu let out a soft breath and agreed. When you're out in the world, face is mutual, and you can give General Yang some face.

Besides, going to the non-non-server doesn't mean he'll stay there forever.

The map is so big, and he has no sense of direction, so it's not surprising that he might accidentally wander into the Asia server area.

Jiang Liu agreed, and Poison King and Nangong Wentian immediately agreed as well. In their minds, all they could do was bully players from other servers.

Big Black is still easy to work with.

"Once the Azure Dragon Divine Beast is unsealed, let's gather back to guard it and see how to heal its injuries, shall we?"

General Yang continued.

The event introduction only mentioned that the Azure Dragon Divine Beast could be unsealed using the Qilin Jade, but it didn't explain how to heal the Azure Dragon's injuries, so it must not be simple.

Regardless of how we heal the Azure Dragon Divine Beast's injuries, one thing is foreseeable.

Once their Azure Dragon Divine Beast is unsealed, it will likely provoke an attack from players on foreign servers, at which point the real time for defense will begin.

Now is the time to attack!

"Then let's get started."

Once the plan is set, there's no need for further words; just get started.

With that, General Yang led the Taiyao tribe to the west of Qilin Island, while Ye Longying led the Taiye City people to the south of Qilin Island.

Only Jiang Liu, the Poison King, Nangong Wentian, and Nangong Wensheng remained in the same spot.

The four of them exchanged glances, each finding the other extremely displeasing.

The newcomer, Nangong Wensheng, glanced at the three of them and cautiously said, "How about we go together?"

"impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the Poison King vehemently objected, glaring at Jiang Liu with a grim face and gritting his teeth, saying, "It's either him or me!"

He's been killed by Jiang Liu so many times, yet he still wants to team up with Jiang Liu. Isn't he despicable?
"hehe."

Jiang Liu sneered, looking at the Poison King with disdain: "You think you're worthy to team up with me?"

"Make yourselves at home, I'll be going now."

As he spoke, he directly used the newly acquired spatial magic.

"The Sacred Escape Manual!"

In the blink of an eye, one-third of the spiritual energy in his body was emptied, the surrounding space was distorted, and when he reappeared, he was already a hundred miles away.

Hundreds of miles away.

Jiang Liu glanced around and found himself in a lush forest with towering trees that were thousands of meters tall and tens of meters wide, blocking out the sun.

He had just looked around when his eyes suddenly lit up and he stared intently at an object more than ten meters away.

It was a rectangular jade block, two meters tall, pure white, with a white halo.

Is this Qilin Jade?

Wow, that's huge!
Jiang Liu stared in astonishment at the Qilin Jade in front of him. He had thought it was just a palm-sized piece of jade, but it turned out to be so big, even taller than him.

He stepped forward and reached out to touch the Qilin Jade.

【Kirin White Jade】

[Category: Event Props]

[Purpose: Rewards will be given upon completion of special challenges, and you can take away the Qilin White Jade.]

[Note: The Qilin White Jade is an exclusive event item for the West Coast server. Players on other servers can only take away the event rewards after completing the challenge, and cannot take away the Qilin White Jade.]

"Do I have to complete another challenge to take the Qilin Jade?"

Jiang Liu was stunned after reading it, his expression one of astonishment.

This broken Qilin jade is not something you can just pick up and leave!

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. No matter how big the map of Qilin Island is, it won't take long for a Nascent Soul stage player to explore it all.

If the Qilin Jade is picked up and left immediately, then this first phase of the event will probably end in a few hours.

Adding a special challenge will not only significantly extend the event time but also provide players with amazing rewards—why not?

Jiang Liu also looked enlightened. He had no idea. The name of this cross-server event was Qilin Treasure Hunt, but he hadn't seen any treasures on Qilin Island. It turned out they were all hidden in the Qilin Jade!

There are hundreds of jade unicorns on the island. Come, let me see what treasures you have.

[Activate the Qilin White Jade Special Challenge?]

【Yes】

[Special Challenge: 10,000 Attacks]

[Challenge Description: Attack 3,000 times within a time limit]

[Challenge Rewards: Within 3 minutes - Low-grade Spiritual Weapon, Within 2 minutes - Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, Within 1 minutes - High-grade Spiritual Weapon]

[Start?]

"Hiss, three thousand attacks in one minute?"

Upon seeing the challenge, Jiang Liu's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously gasped.

One minute equals 60 seconds, which means it would take 50 attacks per second. What kind of attack speed could possibly accomplish that?!
Do I have a chance?

Jiang Liu gasped, and without saying a word, he immediately raised his hand and applied the Mingyu Corrosion Spirit.

Among his skills, only the Rain of Destruction increases attack speed.

After releasing the Netherworld Spirit, he rummaged through his backpack until he found a rapier as light as a feather.

The Hunling Tianyuan Sword is a heavy sword. Although it deals extremely high damage, it slightly reduces attack speed. To clear this challenge, it's really more practical to use a rapier.

【Whether to start the challenge】

【Yes】

The moment the challenge began, Jiang Liu completely ignored the countdown reflected in his retina, held his sword in one hand, and swung it wildly.

Sword! Sword! Sword!

There is only this one action!
The sword flashed and the wind howled. Although it did not cause much damage, its speed was truly fast, invisible to the naked eye.

30, 29, 283, 2, 1.

Challenge Ended

[1-minute timeframe: 2541 times]

[2-minute timeframe: 5001 times]

[3-minute timeframe: 8664 times]

[You have completed the challenge. The current challenge reward is a mid-grade spiritual weapon. Would you like to claim it?]

【no】

"call"

Jiang Liu took a heavy breath, and when he heard the system's voice, his face darkened slightly.

He's progressed so fast, yet it's still only a mid-grade spiritual weapon!

No way, I won't accept this.

This is only the first time. At the 1-minute mark, there have already been 2541 attacks. We are less than 500 attacks away from 3,000 attacks, so we have a chance to complete it!
He's already wasted so much time on challenge missions, how could he be content with just a mid-grade spiritual weapon?

After catching his breath, he started the challenge again.

【Whether to start the challenge】

【Yes】

[Countdown: 3 minutes]

Swish, swish, swish!
This time, Jiang Liu adjusted his posture, making his sword swings even smaller, and even canceled the action of sheathing the sword, directly slashing wildly in the space in front of him.

30, 29, 283, 2, 1.

Challenge Ended

[1-minute timeframe: 3612 times]

[2-minute timeframe: 6817 times]

[3-minute timeframe: 10171 times]

[You have completed the challenge. The current challenge reward is a superior-grade spiritual weapon. Would you like to claim it?]

As time goes on, the number of attacks will decrease slightly, but fortunately, the highest reward is still obtained.

【Yes】

You have obtained a superior-grade spiritual artifact—the White Egret Jade Crown.

[You are not a player from the West Coast server, so you cannot take this Qilin White Jade.]

"It's very simple."

Jiang Liu smiled smugly. So what if he attacks 50 times per second? It's a piece of cake for him. His attributes aren't just for show.

After completing the challenge, his interest in the Qilin Jade grew even stronger.

Originally, he only wanted to collect the Qilin Jade to quickly unseal the Azure Dragon Divine Beast.

But now, he wants to try the special challenges.

It wasn't for the challenge or the reward; I just thought it would be fun.

Given his abilities, he needs two attempts to complete a challenge. He wants to see if there are any challenges he can't finish.

"With the addition of the special challenge setting, this event finally looks like an event."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, without this special challenge setting, he felt that this exchange activity was just a simple PK activity.

Whoever is the strongest will be able to unseal the divine beast and complete the stage mission the fastest.

However, this special challenge added a few variables to the event.

They disregarded personal interests and focused on collecting exclusive Qilin Jade to complete the phase mission.

Regardless of the interests of the entire server, they searched everywhere for Qilin Jade to complete tasks and obtain rewards.

Is personal gain more important, or is the honor of the server more important?
You're such a jerk, planner.

A special challenge lasts 3 minutes, but even top players like Jiang Liu have to do it twice, which means it takes 6 minutes.

One special challenge takes 6 minutes, so ten of them would take 60 minutes, which is more than enough to create a significant gap between the major servers.

Moreover, it's impossible for all special challenges to last 3 minutes.

There are less than a thousand Qilin Jade in the entire Qilin Island. It's estimated that even one piece per person wouldn't be enough to go around. The rewards in the Qilin Jade are first come, first served.

Should we claim the reward first, or unlock the mythical beast first?

This is another point of contention; the planners, you really know how to play this game.

"Our server has four hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, making it the largest server in the cultivation era!"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, "The strongest server, even if I'm gone, it won't make much difference, right?"

"Even if the strongest server is a step behind, it can catch up quickly, right?"

"What's more, aren't there also the Taiyao Tribe and Taiye City? These two are the main forces for unsealing the divine beasts!"

Even Jiang Liu was tempted, let alone the other players.

He wasn't tempted by the challenge rewards; a mere spiritual weapon was nothing to him.

Mainly, he really wanted to try out the special challenges!

"Let's head towards the non-server first."

Jiang Liu pondered for a few seconds before deciding to head to the non-server area.

If you find a Qilin Jade on the road, play with it; if you don't find one, look for it.

Thinking it over, he put on the Antarctic Light Wings and flew rapidly toward the non-server area.

As they flew, they observed the mini-map, searching for the nearest Qilin Jade.

Soon, after flying over thousands of miles of towering, dense forest, the scene suddenly changed to a dry, scorching desert, and his speed suddenly decreased.

"There's a Qilin Red Jade about two hundred miles diagonally. Should I go take a look?"

Jiang Liu looked conflicted, but after only two seconds of hesitation, he flew towards the Qilin Red Jade.

Don't rush to collect the Qilin Jade; let's do a special challenge first.

Standing two meters tall, the Qilin Red Jade, radiating a red glow, is exceptionally conspicuous in the desert.

Jiang Liu flew over and reached out to touch it without saying a word.
