Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

After clearing the dungeon, Shen Hua and Local Necrosis walked side by side on the streets of Tanxian County.

The localized necrosis filled me with emotion, and I felt a sense of incompleteness.

He sighed deeply, "I never thought I'd make the first-clear list. At least I've finally gained some recognition in the game!"

Hearing his sentiments, Shen Hua suddenly remembered something, so she turned to him with a smile and said, "Oh, right, I have something nice for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his storage bag, took out a jade slip, and handed it directly to the partially necrotic patient.

"You gave me something? Thank you so much, Brother Xia Ye!" The man with localized necrosis quickly expressed his gratitude. Moreover, since it was a gift from Shen Hua, it couldn't be anything bad.

Shen Hua smiled faintly: "I remember a while ago, you said you 'accidentally' ate a braised pork knuckle during your diet."

Shen Hua emphasized the words "accidentally ingested".

The man with localized necrosis looked embarrassed and scratched his head sheepishly: "Hey, I accidentally mistook a pork knuckle for a cucumber."

Shen Hua reminded everyone: "The most important thing during the weight loss period is self-discipline."

"I know that. People with strong self-control usually have good self-control too," the person with localized necrosis said, distressed. "But I've tried the '16+8 diet,' which requires eating eight meals in 16 hours. I really can't eat that much!"

Shen Hua chuckled: "This thing I gave you will be perfect for helping you lose weight."

"This is a special footwork technique. Once mastered, it can be used to quickly burn off excess body fat by circulating spiritual energy. It can also convert fat energy into energy, greatly increasing movement speed. The effect is comparable to using the [Lightness Technique]. It can even be used in reality."

Upon hearing this, the locally necrotic tumor instantly beamed with joy and repeatedly expressed its gratitude: "That's wonderful, Brother Xia Ye! This is the magic I've been dreaming of!"

It can both burn fat and help you lose weight, and it can also improve your combat skills, which is a perfect match for him!

Localized Necrosis happily put the jade slip into his backpack and solemnly placed it in the first compartment, where it would be most conspicuous.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Hua, "By the way, Brother Xia Ye, let's set the auction for your [Black Leather Hand-Wrapped] item for a month from now, shall we? Of course, I'm referring to game time."

"A month later? Is that a long time?"

"It's not that long," the patiently explained, "Firstly, it takes time to set up the auction venue, which takes about half a month."

"Secondly, we have to wait for wealthy players from other counties to arrive, and it can take almost a month for those from farther away to travel there."

"Thirdly, because the sect has a great opportunity recently, there may be a shortage of manpower."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Shen Hua immediately became interested: "What great opportunity?"

The person with localized necrosis was slightly surprised: "You didn't know?"

Shen Hua shrugged: "I don't have a roommate, how would I know?"

"Oh, it's like this..." Localized necrosis immediately recounted everything she knew:

The sect is currently organizing a retreat, with all its forces to be withdrawn to Tanxian City. The resource-producing areas outside the city, such as the herb garden and spirit mines, have all been handed over to the players for them to explore and mine.

Finally, he exclaimed excitedly, "Isn't this an incredible opportunity?!"

"Recently, many players within the sect have been frantically mining spirit ore and overturning herb gardens, keeping all the harvest for themselves."

"Many disciples don't even bother with dungeons anymore, focusing entirely on the spirit mines and herb gardens. It's said that some have unearthed several spirit stones in a row, and others have found century-old herbs!"

The more he talked about localized necrosis, the more excited he became.

Moreover, he planned to go there later anyway, and he didn't want to miss such a great opportunity!

But seeing Shen Hua calm and composed beside him, he instantly lost interest.

He chuckled sheepishly, "This opportunity would be incredibly lucrative for ordinary players, but it's probably of little use to you, right?"

He knew in his heart that Shen Hua was very wealthy.

Not to mention the more than nine thousand low-grade spirit stones he earned from selling courses, if Shen Hua really wanted spirit stones, he could easily refine a few magic artifacts, and the income would far exceed the meager income from mining and gathering herbs. He didn't care about this small amount of money at all.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Hua's expression suddenly became extremely serious after hearing this.

He stopped, his gaze fixed on the localized necrosis, and solemnly asked, "Is what you're saying true? All resources can be mined freely, and everything obtained belongs to the individual?"

"It's absolutely true, I'm not lying to you!" the localized necrosis expert immediately assured him.

Shen Hua hurriedly pressed on, "So, all the spirit mines around Tan County can be mined at will?"

After a moment's thought, the man with localized necrosis replied, "Of course, as long as it's a resource-producing area formerly under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Sect, or a mining area or medicinal garden recently acquired by sect disciples, we disciples from beyond the heavens can go wherever we want and dig wherever we want!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hua's spirits lifted and his eyes lit up!

He suddenly remembered: that thing, it seems, is in the Cloud Mine!

Yunxia Spirit Mine is an asset of Taipingmen, and it has been occupied by Taipingmen for many years.

Shen Hua knew that a peerless treasure was hidden deep within the unexploited veins of the Yunxia Spirit Mine!

This treasure may not be particularly valuable, about the same level as the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass he just obtained, worth about three or four thousand low-grade spirit stones.

However, this treasure is far more beneficial to Shen Hua himself! It's incomparable to the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass; it can only be described in three words—a huge boost!

Getting it really boosted his career!

So he made up his mind to find it.

The thought of how that treasure enhanced his life stirred even the calmest of hearts in Shen Hua.

Shen Hua patted the partially necrotic shoulder: "Then let's set it for a month from now. You'll be in charge of the entire auction."

"Leave it to me!" the man with localized necrosis said confidently. "I absolutely won't let you down. I guarantee I'll sell this black leather hand-wrapped product for a good price!"

……

……

Twenty days later, at the Cloud and Mine.

Over these twenty days, all the players witnessed a miracle.

On the eleventh day after the first clear of the dungeon, Shen Hua had collected 200 experience points and was the first to break through to level one!

The second-ranked Calabash Grandpa Saves the Baby is only level 0 with a score of 93/200, which is far from reaching level 1.

Looking back, it took Shen Hua a total of eighty-one days to advance from the zero level of Qi Refining to the first level of Qi Refining. This is not an unusually fast pace; even a Heavenly Spiritual Root would need at least half a year!

But Shen Hua did it.

However, Shen Hua didn't care about his achievements at all.

Upon advancing to level one, his strength didn't change much; the only difference was that the spiritual energy in his dantian became more abundant.

At this moment, apart from his daily cultivation on the second level of the Spirit Gathering Array, he spends the rest of his time traveling forty miles every day to focus on mining in the Cloud Mine.

Traveling back and forth takes up a lot of time, which not only delays mining efficiency but also prevents him from refining pills to earn money. He hasn't refined a single batch of pills or magical artifacts these days.

But for that one thing he longed for, he felt it was all worth it.
