Chapter 330: Chicken Farming Loop, Don’t Ascend!
After Chicken Brother’s battle ended, not only did Yuan Zhu lose interest in the subsequent matches; even the audience at the scene felt a kind of post-saturation mental shock, suddenly falling into a bland sage time.
No matter how exciting the following ‘deathmatch duels’ were, they couldn’t bring stronger stimulation. Instead, they felt boring and tasteless, still immersed in the scene of ‘Chicken Brother’s ascension’.
It could only be said that the scene of the muscle little chicken ascending on site was truly too shocking.
In the past, people often heard the saying [Daytime Ascension], and understood its meaning. They even frequently encountered familiar friends who suddenly vanished from the human world, never to appear again, having been taken by gods.
But fortunately witnessing it truly with their own eyes was still the first time. That kind of direct visual impact, and the mental-level attraction brought by the [Ascension] behind it, was a dimensional strike for ordinary people. It made them unable to forget or calm down for a long time.
…
At this time, Yuan Zhu had already quietly left early, leading a group of orcs and goblin subordinates, walking through the internal passage, and arriving at the door of the martial arts hall.
Osen, the hall master who originally had some disdain for Yuan Zhu’s sales pitch of goblins, now specially came to see him off.
At this moment, his gaze toward the 11 ‘zodiac headgear goblin crowd’ had lost its previous contempt and disdain, completely replaced by greed and desire. He even had a bit of disregard for the half-blood orcs he originally thought highly of.
“Mr. Yuan, I…”
Under the other party’s enthusiastic invitation, Yuan Zhu really couldn’t refuse, so he went with the flow and verbally agreed to a long-term contract for match employment.
He guaranteed that every 10 days, at least one goblin strongman no worse than ‘Chicken Brother’ would be arranged (sacrificed) to take the stage for deathmatch performance. And at the very least, it would activate ‘demonic fall form’ on the arena.
In return, Osen patted his chest and guaranteed that the buyout price for each ‘enter demonic path goblin’ would be uniformly 12,000 in cash.
This price wasn’t actually high, but it was more than enough to purchase the body tempering fluid for cultivating one ‘goblin strongman’. With 12,000, he could maximally raise at least 10 ‘goblin strongmen’.
In addition, Osen guaranteed to arrange the deathmatch of the ‘enter demonic path goblin’ as the finale of the day, with hype promotion three days in advance.
The gambling profits earned by the ‘enter demonic path goblin’ that night would give Yuan Zhu 10% share. Once the ‘enter demonic path goblin’ luckily recreates the classic spectacle of [Shatter the Void. Instant Ascension], the profit would increase to 15%!
Make money together, no ambiguity. You provide the people, I provide the venue, everyone cooperates happily.
As for the [Goblin Fighting Theater] that Yuan Zhu had been thinking about? Osen, who had changed his view on ‘goblin fighters’, no longer denied or looked down on this project.
Of course, he still had some concerns about the ‘goblin fighting theater’. So he agreed with Yuan Zhu to first observe for 1 month. Let the reputation of the ‘enter demonic path goblins’ ferment first in Running City.
Once the audience gradually recognizes the ‘enter demonic path goblins’ provided by Yuan Zhu, and if they can frequently [ascend], thoroughly building up reputation, then launching the [Goblin Combat Theater] wouldn’t be too late.
After counting the remuneration earned with his life by ‘Chicken Brother’ tonight, Yuan Zhu was also very satisfied. So he nodded in approval, 1 month isn’t long, just wait.
…
After waving goodbye to Hall Master Osen, Yuan Zhu walked shoulder to shoulder with A Miao on the neon-flashing sidewalk.
A Miao: “The batch of goblins under you are trained pretty well. I’ll pre-order 7 here, cultivate them for me as soon as possible. I want to take them into the mountains for hunting, personally send them to daytime [ascension]! It’s really too fun, feels just like setting off fireworks on New Year’s, fleeting splendor. By the way, those orc thugs of yours, do you hand them directly to me? Or give them to me after a while.”
Yuan Zhu asked puzzledly: “You want them now? So urgent?”
A Miao: “The sooner you give them to me, the sooner I can train them. I have a lot of mission orders on hand. No matter when you hand them over, they can be put to use. But at the latest, lend them to me within 3 days. I have a business deal that exactly needs a batch of cannon fodder to prop up the scene.”
Yuan Zhu curiously: “Can you reveal specifics?”
“Nothing that can’t be said. On the West Coast, I’m receiving a batch of overseas contraband. Although I can handle it alone, every time I act solo, I’m always probed and provoked by those blind idiot sailors. At least 6 out of 10 times, it turns into ‘black eating black’ attacks. The result is, the other side is too weak to take it down. I’m fed up with this situation, so this time I’ll bring a few muscle orcs to prop up the scene, avoid unnecessary trouble. And by the way, help me transport supplies, save some effort.”
Yuan Zhu was clear about A Miao’s strength, far above his own [human stance (holy light)]. As for whether she could defeat the current [Door-Opening Tiger Demon]? It would depend on actually clashing.
“Then for this propping up the scene, is there any risk for these orcs?”
“This… I’ll try my best to protect their safety. Rest assured, I’ll also impart some actual combat experience and thermal weapon usage skills to them. What job has no risk? Military training has death quotas, how could our kind of life licking blood from the blade be absolutely safe?”
Yuan Zhu nodded helplessly: “Alright, alright. The five of them are entrusted to you, Miao Miao!”
A Miao looked at the half-blood orcs behind her and ordered: “You five, listen up? Come with me now!”
…
After parting at the [Cat House], Yuan Zhu rejected the suggestion to have a drink.
Because in his team, only he could drive. So no drinking and driving, Yuan Zhu righteously refused. A Miao looked disdainful, evaluating him as not manly enough.
At this time, the time was approaching 0:00.
Having achieved the goal (sales pitch goblins), and not receiving the invitation of ‘long night, why not come to my place?’, Yuan Zhu had to leave the five dejected half-blood orcs and head toward the parked van.
Following behind him, besides the composed A Tiao, there were also 11 arrogant goblin strongmen. Clearly the bull warrior was miserably defeated on the arena, and Chicken Brother even more miserably died on the spot. Ah no, accurately speaking, it was ultimate sublimation followed by midnight ascension, leaving the human world.
In any case, none were good news, none had a good outcome or good end.
But the mental state of the goblin group was unprecedentedly high, as if they had suppressed the usually arrogant orcs somewhere. Not sad at all about Chicken Brother’s departure, with a mysterious confidence unique to Indians.
Due to losing five big orcs and one Chicken Brother hanging, the remaining 11 goblins very nimbly drilled into the carriage, still leaving a lot of space.
Yuan Zhu started the vehicle, signaled A Tiao to fasten the seatbelt, and with one press of the accelerator, drove away from Cat Street.
Because of massive reduction in numbers, plus Yuan Zhu’s deliberate use of ‘holy light barrier’ to block and shield. The goblins on the return trip gathered together without forming a ‘high-energy reaction’, attracting the attention of the night patrol team.
…
Just like that, he drove eastward, arriving at the [haunted house] half an hour later.
After herding the goblins back to the second floor bedroom to rest, Yuan Zhu then found a rocking chair, leaned back on it. While rocking, he fell into thought.
At this time, A Tiao came out from the first floor kitchen, carrying a large bucket of washed clean [biochemical experiment garbage (skinned frog frogs)], planning to make a delicious [frog meat hotpot] to reward himself according to the culinary skills taught by Senior Nie.
Since following Big Brother to the ‘upper realm ([Du Ling])’, the moment that made him feel the happiest was eating! Here, there were all kinds of incredibly delicious immortal realm foods that crazily bombarded the taste buds. Making one forget home.
The delicacies of Du Ling World were not something the ‘bugs’ of the barren underground world could scam!
The food and drinks here, no matter high or low, expensive or cheap, were all tastier than everything back home. In his heart, there was only the difference between tasty and tastier. Every day wrapped in happiness overflowing from the tip of the tongue, afraid this was a dream that would burst with one poke.
At this time, A Tiao raised the iron bucket in his hand and asked: “Big Brother, do you want to eat frog pot together?”
Yuan Zhu waved his hand, signaling A Tiao not to mind him, he needed to be quiet.
Yuan Tiao, seeing this, asked with concern: “Big Brother, you seem preoccupied since ‘Chicken Warrior ascended’, always spacing out. Did you encounter some trouble?”
“No, that’s not it. Just encountered a bit of unexpected surprise, but don’t know how to handle it? It’s not related to you, finish this meal and rest early. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to a place, that will be our future home. Once there, you can move freely, breathe the fresh air in the forest, casually contact plants and water sources, hunt to your heart’s content…”
Yuan Tiao, who knew Yuan Zhu inside out, suddenly realized something and asked excitedly: “Big Brother, have you opened a new [Shadow Domain]?”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Yes, not only did I open a [Domain], I also brought out quite a few ‘reverse growth mulberry trees’ from [Eclosion World], as well as ‘pollution root nodules’ remaining from the [Immortal Realm Tree]. I plan to replant them in the [Domain] and construct an ecosystem mimicking the underground world’s ‘Reverse Birth Garden’. This project, I’m preparing to hand over to you. Once successful, not only can you try to continue cultivating [Source Qi Breathing Method], you can also incubate and raise spirit insects, help your sister plant spirit medicine.”
Learning there was hope to recreate the cultivation environment of home, A Tiao was excited but with some worry: “Then… what about the [Disease Garden] guarded by this [haunted house]? Regarding the subsequent goblin martial arts training…”
Yuan Zhu: “[Disease Garden] I have other arrangements, you don’t need to worry. As for the training of ‘goblin strongmen’, all transfer to the [new domain] to conduct. I’ve already scatter-raised over 300 shadow goblins there. You can select a batch with potential from them, cultivate them well as reserves for ‘goblin strongmen’. Then hand them to your elder sister and Nie Yin for power modification. From now on, we need to massively develop and cultivate ‘goblin strongmen’!”
Yuan Tiao nodded solemnly: “Understood!”
…
After sending off Younger Brother, Yuan Zhu continued to close his eyes and rest. Using the unique ‘shadow node’ advantage of the [haunted house], he linked signals with the distant ‘Mountain Lord’s Domain’ in the Misty Mountains.
He decided to fully produce ‘goblin strongmen’, not just for their commercial attribute of making money in the arena, but more for tonight’s [Chicken Brother ascension]!
This bare-handed deathmatch was entirely within Yuan Zhu’s understanding. Even the ‘polluted demonic fall’ of becoming demonic in one thought verified many of his guesses and inferences about [frog-type pollution].
Only the final scene of [midnight ascension] completely exceeded Yuan Zhu’s cognition and expectations. This was the first time since crossing over that he personally witnessed [ascension], honestly, it was a bit shabby and disappointing.
And at the instant of Chicken Brother’s ‘ascension’, what he hadn’t anticipated was that the spacetime rift when Chicken Brother shattered the void actually triggered the [Door] belonging to the tiger demon?!
How to put it? Reasonable, yet unexpected.
When Chicken Brother was intensely rejected by Du Ling Star’s reality spacetime, triggering spatial fluctuation, the present world would search for the nearest and most matching ‘different time and space’ based on the affiliation of its body of polluting energy to discharge it.
The result of this round of search from [Du Ling Star] directly anchored Chicken Brother’s ascension coordinates to the [Door] bound to Yuan Zhu’s soul (dataized soul).
…
At that time, Yuan Zhu’s feeling was like being swept by a ‘spacetime radar’ with ‘Chicken Brother’ as the center, provided with technical support by the real world, scanning everything nearby on a large scale. And instantly selecting the ‘coordinate’ Yuan Zhu carried: [Door]
[Mountain Lord’s Domain] was the closest to the match site, straight-line distance not exceeding 100 kilometers, and the ‘power system’ most matching.
Thus Chicken Brother ascended on site, using the rejection force of reality to open a one-way spacetime tunnel to the [grotto-heaven space], assisting this lump of muscle demonic creature marinated flavorful by ‘frog-type pollution’ to smoothly ‘ascend to upper realm’.
Chicken Brother’s ascension consumed not a single bit of Yuan Zhu’s power throughout.
As a result, inside the [grotto-heaven space] of [Mountain Lord’s Domain], a deranged demonic creature (Chicken Brother) was suddenly stuffed in, and at the moment of appearance, was firmly suppressed by the ‘Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Formation’ within the [space].
…
Yuan Zhu now closed his eyes to connect to [Mountain Lord’s Domain], by clicking the floating button [Deed] in the [Boss Template], opened the [Domain Management Panel], browsing and paying attention to the changes inside the [Grotto-Heaven Space].
First, it can be confirmed that the [Chicken Brother Ascension] event means ‘Chicken Brother’ has completely detached from reality spacetime.
Chicken Brother, due to demonic fall rampage, completed deep transformation of its own life form. At this moment, it has completely lost its [Pale Species] identity, becoming a standard low-level demonic creature, wandering in the grotto-heaven space.
The body of ‘Demonic Creature Chicken Brother’ simultaneously contains [Shadow] and [Frog-Type] two kinds of pollution, deeply fused, can be regarded as one kind. (Yuan-style Goblin Strongman)
Therefore, theoretically during ascension, Chicken Brother could go to the nearest [Frog-Type Pollution Spacetime], [Shadow Dimension], or the pollution recycling station of the real world, [Spirit Layer].
Among them, [Spirit Layer] has the highest intensity, most concentrated polluting energy, farthest distance, greatest ascension resistance. ‘Chicken Brother’ is too weak, doesn’t qualify at all! Even if squeezed to burst by spacetime power, the residue couldn’t fly to [Spirit Layer].
As for whether Running City nearby connects to [Frog-Type Pollution Different Time and Space]? It can only be said that whether it exists or not, none are as close in distance, thin in barrier, and tight in causal connection as [Mountain Lord’s Domain].
Du Ling’s planetary will seems to regard [Yin Mountain Lord (Tiger Demon)] as a newly risen little evil god. And the frog-type pollution in Chicken Brother’s body was imprinted with a distinct ‘evil god brand (shadow pollution)’.
Therefore, this little demonic creature during ascension was preferentially arranged by reality spacetime to this evil god’s private territory.
From another perspective, that’s a sacrifice ritual!
Chicken Brother self-abandoningly embraced pollution, chose ultimate sublimation, sacrificed himself on the spot. Itself was the sacrifice, and the demon god that imprinted the brand label on it was solely [Tiger Demon]!
This statement isn’t accurate enough, there’s also [Fate. Frog God], counting as Chicken Brother’s biggest patron.
But Chicken Brother’s quality is too poor, maturity too weak, even burning everything couldn’t reach the [Spirit Layer] on the back of the present world, let alone fly into [Frog God]’s bowl.
So could only settle for second best, being exiled by [Du Ling Star] into Tiger Demon’s bowl.
Thus in [Tiger Demon Grotto-Heaven], appeared the first ever self-throwing into the net, and washing itself clean, sublimated to the extreme ‘sacrifice’.
And not [Tiger Demon] burning paper money for himself.
