This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 92 Full Moon Welfare Event: Aura Tide (3K)

The next day, sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window and gently fell into the principal's office, illuminating the entire room with brightness and warmth.

The principal sat behind a large desk, a smile on his face. He held a form for the provincial and municipal Three Good Students award and handed it to Jiang Liu, who was sitting across from him. He asked, "The city and provincial TV stations, as well as major media outlets like Tencent News, Weibo, and TikTok, all want to interview you about foundation building. What do you think?"

"I do not watch."

Jiang Liu took the form and filled it out, responding speechlessly, "You're just a student, why are you being so high-profile? Do you want to debut as a fresh meat?"

In the Age of Immortal Cultivation, he logged in with his real name, ranked first on the ranking list, and no one dared to challenge him in the arena. This was already high-profile enough. In real life, he preferred to keep a low profile.

After all, he was full of energy and just wanted to play games quietly.

"I knew you would make this choice, so I've already helped you reject them in advance."

The principal smiled slightly, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, have the people from Taiyao Department come to see you?"

"Taiyaobu?"

Jiang Liu was slightly stunned, a puzzled look on his face: "Why did they ask me to do this? Is it because of the Fule Organization incident?"

"That matter has long been settled."

The principal shook his head and patiently explained: "The Taiyao Department is mainly responsible for handling conflicts between monks and crimes committed by monks. Think about it, if there are no strong people who are powerful enough to suppress all criminals, how can they carry out their work?"

The principal paused and looked at Jiang Liu: "You are now the first player in District Four to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. You possess the strength to suppress other players. The Taiyao Division will definitely want to recruit you."

"Are they trying to drag me in as a tool?"

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes. "District Four covers three provinces. I don't have the time to travel back and forth between them. Principal, please tell them not to come looking for me again."

He knew that joining a state organization did have many benefits, but a department like the Taiyao Department was full of daily trivialities and troubles.

In comparison, he would rather work as a civil servant in some relatively idle and clean institutions than be busy like an ox or a horse pulling a mill in a popular institution.

"Although the Taiyao tribe is troublesome, the benefits are also real."

The principal chuckled, "You're currently dealing in magical instruments with the Dize Group. The monthly spiritual stone transactions must be substantial. Have you ever considered how much personal income tax you'll need to pay at the end of the year?"

"You should know that even if you don't want to pay, the tax bureau will not let you off easily. You can't escape personal income tax no matter what."

"hiss"

When Jiang Liu heard the word "pay taxes", he couldn't help but take a deep breath and his teeth ached slightly.

The reason why he didn't open a store on Taobao was because the tax burden was too heavy. He felt distressed when he thought about the taxes he had to pay.

"Li Dongze and I were conducting a private transaction in the game. How did they find out?"

Jiang Liu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"They won't investigate you, but they will investigate the Dize Group."

The principal explained, "The Di Ze Group maintains detailed accounting records, and every transaction is clearly documented. The tax department only needs to review the Di Ze Group's accounts to accurately calculate the amount of tax you should pay."

I cried. I sold all these magic weapons and spells in my backpack. How much tax do I have to pay in a year?

"So, if you don't want to pay taxes, joining the Taiyao tribe is a good choice."

Seeing Jiang Liu's distressed expression, the principal said, "Although the work of the Taiyao Tribe is troublesome and somewhat dangerous, the country provides them with many benefits and privileges to encourage monks to join, and tax exemption is one of them."

"Taiyaobu tax exemption?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen the light of day. He immediately said righteously, "I understand, Principal. Maintaining the stability of District 4 is everyone's responsibility. As the number one player in District 4, I have an unshirkable responsibility!"

It doesn't really matter whether it's tax-exempt or not. He just wants to do his bit to contribute to the stability of the four districts.

With great ability comes great responsibility!

Upon hearing Jiang Liu change his mind, a sly flicker of cunning flashed in the principal's eyes, and he said seemingly casually, "By the way, the current leader of our city's Taiyao Department seems to have graduated from No. 1 Middle School, and his realm is only the ninth level of Qi training."

"To be honest, it's not good enough to be a Glory Lord at this level. A city-level Glory Lord should at least be in the early stages of foundation building, right?"

"Don't you think so, Jiang Liu?"

Jiang Liu: “.”

The purpose was revealed, and as soon as he heard this, he understood why the principal actively instigated him to join the Taiyao Department.

So you want me to seize power and usurp the throne!

Just because the current Lord Yao graduated from No. 1 Middle School, you want to lure me over there?

These old principals of high schools are really... You'd better take a walk in the arena.

After coming out of the principal's office, Jiang Liu went straight to the playground.

At this time, the students of the Immortal Examination Class were conducting a practical class on the playground, practicing in pairs. Since there were originally two of them, but Jiang Liu was missing, one of them had to practice with Teacher Zhao Yi.

As soon as Jiang Liu stepped into the playground, he saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu violently. The scene was really tragic.

"Ahhhhh I can't take it anymore, teacher!"

Li Dongze was kicked more than ten meters away by Teacher Zhao Yi. After falling to the ground, he began to roll around, still howling.

"It's only been a few rounds."

Zhao Yi looked at Li Dongze helplessly. Before he could finish his words, he saw a figure running over quickly. "Are you okay, brother?"

Jiang Liu rushed to Li Dongze, helped him up, and then grabbed a handful of blood-recovering pills from his storage bag and stuffed them into Li Dongze's mouth.

Li Dongze was deeply moved by Jiang Liu's concern for him and quickly waved his hands, saying, "That's enough. The injury has healed."

"All right?"

Jiang Liu nodded, and then pushed Li Dongze towards Teacher Zhao Yi: "Alright, let's continue the actual combat. Teacher Zhao, don't show mercy. I have plenty of blood-recovering pills here."

"Your uncle's!"

Zhao Yi looked at Jiang Liu with eyes filled with complex emotions. He was shocked and stunned after hearing the news that Jiang Liu had successfully established his foundation.

Only more than twenty days after the opening of District 4, Jiang Liu became the first player to establish a foundation. This speed is simply astonishingly fast, twice as fast as the first player in District 3 to establish a foundation!
He has established his foundation in just over twenty days. At this rate, he will probably catch up with me in less than a few months, right?

Thinking of this, he felt sad.

"Teacher Zhao, how about we have a real-life sparring match?"

Jiang Liu challenged Zhao Yi with great interest. He was thinking of taking the opportunity to test whether his Five Elements One Line could defeat Teacher Zhao Yi, who was in the late stage of foundation building.

However, seeing Jiang Liu's high morale, Zhao Yi just smiled and shook his head, decisively refusing.

When you were at the tenth level of Qi Refining, you were able to force me to use magic. Now that you have established your foundation, your strength will surely be even higher.

It would be fine if I won the actual sparring, but if I lost, how would I be able to continue with the classes from now on?

I'm here to teach and earn money, not to duel with students. There's no need for that.

Zhao Yi refused to take action, so Jiang Liu had to sit aside in disappointment, looking forward to the next thunder tribulation simulation class. Thinking of being able to experience the excitement of electric shock again, he felt a little excited.

I haven't been given electric shock for several days, and my skin feels itchy. I have to have a good time today.

After completing a series of courses including practical combat classes, thunder tribulation simulation classes, and VR inner demon classes, Jiang Liu returned home refreshed and continued to practice with his grandfather.

After taking tens of thousands of Qi-training pills, Master Jiang's realm is only one step away from the eighth level of Qi-training. Coupled with a set of magical instruments and a large number of spells, there are really few people in the city who can defeat him.

The pillar of the sect is being cultivated.
Uncle Jiang: I am your grandfather, not your ox or horse!
The grandfather and grandson sat facing each other and practiced until Jiang Liu returned to the room in the middle of the night.

It was another early morning. He had just entered the Immortal Cultivation Era and was about to clean up the daily work refreshed today when suddenly a page that filled the entire screen popped up, instantly making his eyes widen and his spirits rise.

After nearly half a month, Xiuxian Era finally has another event!

"You only launch new events half a month apart. Your production capacity needs to be improved!"

The pop-up activity interface is beautifully crafted, with a huge, bright white moon occupying the center of the screen. The hazy moonlight sprinkles on the earth like a veil, and the background is the vast blue sea with microwaves, creating an atmosphere of a bright moon rising from the sea.

To celebrate the one-month anniversary of the opening of the fourth zone in Xiuxian Era, we are launching the "Spiritual Tide" full-month welfare event!

"Aura Tide? Could it be an upgrade event?"

Jiang Liu guessed and clicked on the event introduction.

[Aura Tide]

[Event Introduction]: Legend has it that every once in a while, the spiritual energy of Yueling Island will experience large-scale fluctuations, manifesting itself in the form of tides.

[Event Introduction]: Players will land on Yueling Island. When practicing during the spiritual energy tide stage, the practice speed will be greatly improved, and the practice value will be automatically gained every second.

[Event Content]: This Aura Tide is divided into three stages, the first stage will open at 12 noon.

[Activity Rewards]: Each stage has unique activity content and rewards, so stay tuned.

【Activity duration】: Seven days.

"Increased training speed in the event map, plus experience points. Why does it feel like the authorities have taken action?"

Jiang Liu stared at the event introduction and began to murmur in his heart.

Could it be that the official saw that the gap between me and other players was too big, so they specially launched an upgrade event to regulate it?
It's not that he is narcissistic, it's really possible.

He is currently in the early stages of foundation building, and the second person on the level list is only at the ninth level of Qi training. Even the second person on the level list is one major realm and one minor realm away from him, let alone other players.

If he is allowed to continue like this, the realm ecology in the game is likely to be destroyed.

Therefore, at this time, an upgrade activity is needed to regulate the situation and forcibly raise the realm of other players, at least the gap cannot be too large.

It doesn't matter if there are upgrade activities, as long as you don't lock the realm cap.
Jiang Liu thought silently in his heart, don’t wait until one day to suddenly tell him that your realm has reached the upper limit of this area, please wait patiently for the new realm to be unlocked, that would be too rude.

"Seven-day event?"

After watching the entire event, his eyes lit up and he became a little excited.

Full moon, welfare, three stages, seven days.

Could the reward for this event be a Xuan-level item?

Please, brother, give me a mysterious weapon. My child is so greedy for it.
