Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 11 Taking a Breath of Breath for a Dream

With a light tap of his finger on the touchscreen, Lu Jin opened his email inbox.

Wow!
The first email opened, and a video popped up.

On the huge screen, a short-haired young woman in a hoodie appeared and smiled, saying, "Hello, Captain Lu Jin, I am Chief Li's assistant. I believe you have already seen the 50 million in start-up funds issued by headquarters."

As for the 100 million skill book quota, it will automatically take effect when you purchase the skill book.

You can purchase the secret manuals through the internal network, and as long as the price does not exceed one hundred million, the internal network will reimburse you directly.

If the price exceeds one hundred million, Captain Lu Jin himself will have to pay the excess amount.

At the same time, on behalf of all members of the Guard District, I congratulate Captain Lu Jin on successfully passing the martial arts combat assessment.

After that, the video ended abruptly.

Then, Lu Jin opened the second email.

This email was also a video that briefly introduced the role of 'Yanhuang Home' and the uses of contribution points.

Similar to the "Extreme House" of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, the "Yanhuang House" also emphasizes contribution points. Once the contribution points reach a certain level, all items can enjoy a 50% discount.

However, unlike the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, Wei Fang does not offer a way to directly donate money to exchange for contribution points.

The only two ways to obtain contribution points are to sell monster materials to the Guardian and to receive contribution points based on contributions made during missions.

Lu Jin went straight to the point and clicked on the "Secret Manuals" category on the 'Yanhuang Home' online store page.

Immediately, photos of the actual manuals appeared on the screen, along with their names and prices.

After glancing over the highly acclaimed "World Destroyer" and "Ninefold Thunder Blade," Lu Jin set his sights on "Mist Sword."

Perhaps because there aren't many skilled swordsmen on Earth, or because the quality of their techniques isn't very good, the "Mist Sword," rated S-level, is already the strongest sword technique currently available for purchase.

As early as after learning that he had traveled to the Swallowed Star, Lu Jin had considered which weapon to cultivate.

Compared to spear and knife techniques, which have ultimate secrets, practicing swordsmanship undoubtedly has certain disadvantages.

But then again, practicing swordsmanship is cool!

Who hasn't dreamed of "sword energy traversing thirty thousand miles, a single sword's light chilling nineteen provinces"?
You know, being strong is only temporary, but being handsome is a lifelong thing!

Lu Jin, who was born with extraordinary abilities, chose to suffocate for his dream.

If I, Lu Jin, were to die someday, it would only be in a way that makes me look cool!
Lu Jin opened "Mist Sword" and checked the price and description of the manual.

"Mist Sword" All Five Levels - Price: 30 billion Yanhuang Coins (full price), 15 billion Yanhuang Coins (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points)
The first four levels of "Mist Sword" cost 10 billion Yanhuang Coins (full price) or 5 million Yanhuang Coins (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points).
The first three tiers of "Mist Sword" cost 3 million Yanhuang Coins (full price) and 1.5 million Yanhuang Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).
The first two levels of "Mist Sword" cost 1 million Yanhuang Coins (full price) and 5000 million Yanhuang Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).
The first level of "Mist Sword" costs 5000 million Yanhuang Coins (full price) or 2500 million Yanhuang Coins (half price, requirement: one-star contribution points).
Similar to "Ninefold Thunder Blade", "Mist Sword" is not just a simple sword technique, but also includes a complete set of movement techniques and guiding skills.

Of course, Lu Jin, who was using cheat codes, felt that he didn't need the guiding technique.

He will need to cultivate, but he doesn't need to cultivate genetic energy. He can simply accumulate energy by absorbing the life crystals produced by the Demon Refining Pot from the decomposition of monster corpses.

Looking at the price of "Mist Sword" displayed on the screen, Lu Jin thought for a moment and made up his mind. "Please confirm whether you want to purchase the first three levels of 'Mist Sword'. It will cost 1.5 million Yanhuang coins."

Soon, a prompt appeared on the big screen.

Whether a novice martial artist can ignore the contribution point requirement when purchasing a manual for the first time is unclear to Lu Jin. In any case, like Luo Feng in the original novel, he can enjoy a 50% discount when purchasing a manual for the first time.

"Confirm!" Lu Jin clicked.

"Please confirm again via fingerprint verification."

"drop!"

"Fingerprint confirmed, delivery location confirmed."

"Purchase successful!"

"Payment successful!"

"The first three levels of the 'Mist Sword' manual will be delivered to Captain Lu Jin's residence within 24 hours."

A series of prompts appeared on the screen.

With 50 million in start-up capital and 100 million in skill book quota, you can buy the first three levels of "Mist Sword" at half price.

As for equipment?

With a complete set of six-element equipment and seven-element throwing knives given to him privately by his uncle Li Yunqian, he is definitely enough for the current stage.

‘Dududu——’

After buying the manual, Lu Jin realized it was getting late and was about to go to the Weiqu canteen for lunch when his phone suddenly rang, and a video call came in.

Seeing the note displayed on his phone screen, Lu Jin knew something was wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jin finally gritted his teeth and answered the call.

The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a hoodie, with slightly graying temples and sharp eyes like a leopard appeared on the screen.

"You little brat, you think you're all grown up now? You didn't even tell me you became a martial artist right away?"

Before Lu Jin could speak, her grandfather Li Dawei's displeased voice reached her ears.

"It was my fault, Grandpa, please calm down."

Lu Jin said awkwardly.

"Hmph—I'll give you three months. Report to the Southeast Guard District in three months."

Li Dawei spoke in a tone that left no room for Lu Jin to refuse.

In Li Dawei's view, three months is enough time for Lu Jin to transform from a martial arts novice into a true martial artist.

"It's no problem for me to report to the Southeast Guard District, but I've joined Huashan now, so I won't be staying in the guard district all the time."

Lu Jin made a request.

"Do you need to tell me that? I'm the one who approved your joining Mount Hua!"

I don't care about other times, but when a sea monster tide attacks, you must get here immediately.

"Yes!"

Lu Jin gave a proper salute.

"very good!"

Li Dawei nodded in satisfaction, then said in a deep voice, "I don't need to elaborate on the dangers of the wilderness. You should consider it carefully. I don't want to experience the tragedy of an old man burying his son again."

Grandpa, you're not old at all!

Lu Jin said something.

Despite his maternal grandfather Li Dawei being in his sixties, he looked not much older than Li Yunqian, who was a generation younger, because he possessed the strength of a mid-level War God.

"Haha~"

Li Dawei smiled and shook his head: "Your grandfather is getting old; he'll have to rely on you young people from now on."
