Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

The gathering has now ended.

The NPC disciples, finding it uninteresting, all dispersed.

"Sigh, let's go, to the departments." The players sighed and shook their heads, listlessly preparing to report to their respective departments.

The players were initially very excited.

After all, they all possessed celestial spiritual roots and had joined the top sect in the game, the Taiping Sect. Each of them considered themselves to be chosen ones, destined for greatness in the game.

However, they have now been dealt a heavy blow by Shen Hua.

"A purple jade pendant! I wonder when I'll finally get a piece of purple equipment," one player sighed.

"Hmph, it's not a magic weapon, so it definitely won't provide much of a boost to combat," another player said sourly.

Some players also approached Shen Hua, their faces full of flattery, and said, "Brother Xia Ye, could you let us see the attributes of the jade pendant?"

"And that golden, mysterious, high-grade magic artifact, could we take a look at it?"

"Brother Xia Ye, you have mixed spiritual roots, how come you're always at the top of the rankings?"

Shen Hua did not answer these questions.

His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the players who were preparing to leave.

Shen Hua still had plans to make, and he couldn't let this group of people leave just yet.

Excuse me, could you please let me through?

Shen Hua sidestepped through the throng of people and quickly stepped onto the high stone steps.

On the stone steps, Shen Hua turned to face the players, cast a [Sound Amplification] spell on himself, and shouted, "Please wait, everyone! Don't rush to leave!"

[Amplification Spell] is a very basic spell, which uses spiritual power to amplify sound. Shen Hua can do it without learning it.

"Do you all want to know how I managed to top the rankings despite having mixed spiritual roots? Next, I'll share my insights and experiences with you!"

Upon hearing Shen Hua's call, the players who were about to leave immediately stopped and looked at him, each revealing a surprised expression.

They certainly wanted to know how Shen Hua leveled up!

Shen Hua, with his mixed spiritual root, is at the top of the list; he must possess some special method that no one else knows about.

But would Shen Hua really reveal this secret? Is he really that kind-hearted?

If it were them, they would definitely keep it a secret and would never tell outsiders, no matter what.

In an instant, the crowd surged forward, countless eyes focusing on Shen Hua, waiting for him to speak.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shen Hua continued, "I can tell you all, but there will be a fee: 3 low-grade spirit stones per person."

This is Shen Hua's plan.

He can share his cultivation secrets with everyone without reservation, but only if he charges a fee.

There were more than three thousand players present.

If everyone is willing to contribute 3 low-grade spirit stones, then his gain will be close to 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!

This is much faster than making money by refining medicine and crafting weapons!

You should know that he sat in the alchemy room for half a day and produced a batch of pills, 3 out of 5 of which were green, and the profit was only 24 low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, he has to take one green pill every day, so his daily surplus is only about 15 low-grade spirit stones.

These ten thousand low-grade spirit stones are roughly equivalent to his alchemy income for two years!

"You have to pay?" Hearing Shen Hua say this, many players present became conflicted.

Three low-grade spirit stones are no small amount.

They can only get two or three low-grade spirit stones after completing a scenario mission.

In Tan County, it's difficult to earn even one spirit stone per day when doing tasks.

Paying three low-grade spirit stones just to hear a cultivation secret? And who knows if they can even use that secret? This made many people back down.

Shen Hua was well aware of everyone's considerations. He raised his right hand as if to swear an oath and loudly proclaimed:

"First of all, I assure you all that this trick will absolutely work for you! It will definitely increase your cultivation speed!"

"Secondly, this trick is applicable to everyone, whether they have mixed spiritual roots or heavenly spiritual roots, it is useful for everyone."

"However, the trick is also phased. It is particularly effective recently, but as time goes on and more and more people know about it, its effect will quickly diminish."

"You can use it yourself first, and then sell the tips and tricks later."

"And I guarantee that if you resell this secret, everyone can definitely earn back their 3 low-grade spirit stones, and maybe even more!"

After hearing Shen Hua's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

This trick will surely increase their cultivation speed.

Moreover, the trick is applicable to everyone, and Shen Hua even allows them to resell it?

If it's applicable enough, reselling it can definitely recoup the cost with just 3 low-grade spirit stones! What reason do they have not to listen?

However, some players remained unconvinced, questioning, "How can we believe you're telling the truth?"

Shen Hua said solemnly, "I swear on my honor! I wouldn't ruin my reputation in the game for such a small amount of spirit stones, would I?"

"And I really do have a trick up my sleeve, otherwise how could I consistently stay at the top of the rankings?"

"Players who are willing to listen can stay, and those who are not willing to listen will not be forced and can leave on their own."

"I can guarantee that everyone will not lose money!"

"Is that so?" The players looked at each other in bewilderment.

Many players are already interested and want to stay and listen.

Of course, a very small number of players also felt that this was a scam and did not want to be fooled.

[Local Necrosis] Seeing this, I decided to help Brother Xia Ye.

He shouted directly, "I'm a streamer, and I recorded everything Xia Ye just said. If he's lying, then he can expect to be completely disgraced!"

Shen Hua smiled and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, I'm definitely not lying."

"But please don't record what I'm about to say. This is a way to make money, and recording it will affect other people's income."

"Okay, I'll turn it off right away." [Local Necrosis] said and then turned off the game recording.

The game "Ascension" has a built-in audio recording function, but it doesn't have a video recording function; the video recording function is only enabled much later in the game.

When recording in the game, a conspicuous red circle would light up under his feet. Now, the red circle under his feet has completely disappeared.

Seeing this, the other players who were recording also turned off their recordings.

Everyone huddled together, whispering with their roommates and friends, debating whether or not to buy this cultivation technique.

Shen Hua didn't urge them at all. He stood on the steps with his arms crossed, quietly waiting for them to discuss.

Before long, the players reached a consensus and decided to trust Shen Hua and give it a try.

"Three low-grade spirit stones may be a lot, but Xia Ye doesn't need to offend everyone for such a small amount of money."

"Yes, and he said before that this trick is very effective in the early stages, but its effectiveness decreases as time goes on, so you'll miss out if you don't take advantage of it."

"Why worry about so much! It's just three low-grade spirit stones! Even if the effect is mediocre, you can still recoup your costs by reselling them. There are a total of 1.4 billion players on the server, are you worried about not being able to sell them?"

At this point, a player raised their hand and asked, "Brother Xia Ye, can this trick be used by overseas players?"

Shen Hua immediately replied, "It works, and it works just as well for foreigners. That's why I can guarantee that everyone can break even."

Then someone asked with lingering concerns, "Won't you hold back? Will you only teach us half and refuse to tell us the whole story?"

Shen Hua's expression turned serious, and he replied earnestly, "I will not hold anything back. I will tell you all the complete secrets and will never fool anyone."

He then solemnly swore: "I swear to the Heavenly Dao of the game that if I conceal even the slightest secret or deceive even the slightest thing about the secrets, may my spiritual root be completely destroyed, and may I never be able to cultivate immortality again in this lifetime!"
