Chapter 62: Sparring
“Sold it?”
“I told you, killing monsters might drop good stuff. It wasn’t a waste for me to specifically dig through the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s corpse.”
“This smart watch looks really advanced. You’re impressive, Old Ye. I never thought the drop would be hidden in the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s stomach.”
Fang Zhen and Yi Ye Fu Yun stared at the smart watch inside the metal box, their eyes shining uncontrollably. The other team members present also cast admiring looks at Yi Ye Fu Yun.
After everyone killed the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat, each of them was thinking about how to quickly collect Ancient Bronze Ore. Only Yi Ye Fu Yun stared fixedly at the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s corpse, no one knew what he was thinking.
Dropped items from killing monsters are very normal in other virtual games, but with High Martial Arts Descend reaching 100% virtual degree, something like that really should not appear.
So Yi Ye Fu Yun suspected that the drop was very likely hidden inside the monster’s body and required players to search for it personally.
In the end, Yi Ye Fu Yun’s approach proved to be very correct.
Killing monsters really did have drops, and the drop was insanely good.
“You took it out from the stomach?” Lin Qi looked at the metal box on the table, then at Yi Ye Fu Yun, and revealed a look of admiration.
On a daily basis, Yi Ye Fu Yun felt like some rich guy, absolutely someone pampered and spoiled.
He never expected that Yi Ye Fu Yun could endure the disgust and specifically do corpse-digging work. That bloody, fishy smell alone was enough to make one’s head spin.
Last time, when transporting the Crocodile Fang Rhinoceros’s corpse, Lin Qi had to brace himself just to pack it up. He still was not used to it even now, so it was hard to imagine Yi Ye Fu Yun not caring at all.
“Yeah, I found it by accident.” Yi Ye Fu Yun saw the admiration in Lin Qi’s eyes. Although he did not know why he gained Lin Qi’s favor, he asked with great anticipation, “Master of the Pavilion, how many points can this thing be redeemed for?”
When it came to digging through corpses, Yi Ye Fu Yun did not care in the slightest. It was just a bit more bloody and realistic; it was not like he had never played bloodier games before.
“This smart watch is very advanced. I’m willing to spend 50,000 points and 1,000 contribution to purchase it.” Lin Qi looked at the expectant gazes of Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others and did not intend to undercut them too much.
A smart watch made of B6-grade Cloud Iron Alloy was very difficult for ordinary monsters to damage. It could be said to be a professional smart watch prepared for martial artists, without worrying about it being damaged during battle.
And as a smart watch specialized for martial artists, even if sold simply as second-hand goods, even if the model was very old, it could still go for one million Bit. After all, for a smart watch of this grade, its wilderness communication range alone exceeded ten kilometers.
Even ordinary signal shielding devices were basically useless against this type of advanced smart watch.
Considering all this, Lin Qi felt it was very necessary to recycle it from the players.
“My god! Fifty thousand points! One thousand contribution!”
“We’re rich! We really struck it big this time!”
“The Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s drop is insane. From now on we should just specialize in hunting Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rats.”
The two teams of players present heard Lin Qi’s quoted price for recycling and their eyes all shone, some even turning red.
Although everyone knew Lin Qi’s recycling price was definitely quite ruthless, what game NPC was not like that? Not to mention they could not use this advanced smart watch anyway, just like the smart watch they had captured before; they could not read a single character on it.
Since they could not read the text, it was obvious the game manufacturer did not allow them to use it directly. But they could convert it through NPCs, then later take it out for sale and let players use it.
It had to be said this was very exploitative, but the game manufacturer had set it up like this.
But they had never seen the Master of the Pavilion be this generous. Fifty thousand points in one go was enough to directly purchase an A5-grade weapon.
“At this price, do you want to exchange it?” Lin Qi looked at the chatting players and once again confirmed with Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others.
“Exchange! Exchange!” Yi Ye Fu Yun and Fang Zhen agreed almost without hesitation, afraid Lin Qi might go back on his word.
Fifty thousand points were far more than what they had gained from mining Ancient Bronze Ore these past few days.
All of them combined were only mining a little over one thousand kilograms of Ancient Bronze Ore in a day so far. That was with good luck; with bad luck it was only six to seven hundred kilograms. Ancient Bronze Ore in the tunnels was not as easy to find as they had imagined.
Yet even one thousand kilograms of Ancient Bronze Ore in a day was only worth ten thousand points.
Fifty thousand points equaled their total profit of five days. It was a huge win.
“Alright, I’ll record it on my side.” Lin Qi put away the Cloud Iron smart watch, then asked curiously, “Did you bring back the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s corpse you killed?”
Lin Qi did not particularly care about the advanced smart watch. Although it was very valuable, the risk of selling it was too high, whereas the Gold-Devouring Unicorn Rat’s corpse was different.
As pure monster meat, he could completely sell it to the Phosphor Fire Trading Market again.
“The corpse? What would we bring that thing back for?” Fang Zhen asked with a serious face. “Does the martial arts hall also collect rat meat?”
“What would we bring that thing back for?” Lin Qi almost choked. So in the players’ eyes, rat meat was not meat. That was over two tons of monster meat. He suppressed his speechless feeling and calmly said, “The martial arts hall also collects all kinds of monster meat. Every ten kilograms is one hundred points. Bring back a complete monster and there is a reward of five hundred contribution. Since you did not bring it back, then forget it.”
As Lin Qi’s words fell, the whole place went silent.
“Damn! My twenty thousand points!”
“Hurry! Hurry back! Maybe the corpse has not disappeared yet!”
“Whichever of you runs faster, get over there quickly. We must keep that corpse!”
After hearing Lin Qi’s quoted price, Fang Zhen and the others felt like they had just missed out on a fortune. Twenty thousand points could buy so many good things. They could even directly redeem the lower volume of Crushing Stone Fist or Leopard Shadow Steps, yet they had thrown it away in the tunnel.
If Luo Wu Shang and the others found out, they would probably laugh themselves to death.
Just as the two teams were preparing to rush back immediately, they suddenly saw Yi Ye Fu Yun twitch and collapse straight to the ground, motionless.
“No way! Old Ye, wake up!” Fang Zhen looked at the suddenly fallen Yi Ye Fu Yun in astonishment. He never expected Yi Ye Fu Yun to be this unable to handle a blow. He looked at the players around them. “Does anyone know CPR? Help him!”
For a moment, everyone present fell silent, looking at each other.
Each of them felt that doing mouth-to-mouth with Yi Ye Fu Yun just for a 648 recharge did not seem worth it.
“Leave him. He is only asleep.” Lin Qi glanced at the motionless Yi Ye Fu Yun and reminded Fang Zhen and the others.
Fang Zhen and the others might not know what had just happened, but as the host, Lin Qi was very clear. Just now, Yi Ye Fu Yun had logged off, or rather, his soul had returned.
“He logged off out of anger?” Fang Zhen looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun on the ground and could understand. He then ordered, “You two carry Old Ye back to the resting place. The others come with me back to the tunnel and see if we still have a chance.”
Everyone present nodded and moved into action.
On the other side, on Blue Star, in Yunhai City, at Spark Fitness Center.
“Sis! Why did you pull my internet cable?”
Yi Ye Fu Yun woke up inside the game pod and glared angrily at the woman in front of him. She was over one meter eighty, wearing a blue and white short-sleeved tight-fitting top. Her graceful and full figure looked like that of a fairy descended to the human world.
“Ye Yun! Why do you think I pulled your cable?” The woman’s brows were raised coldly, her tone full of questioning. “I told you before that during this period you need to exercise properly, do more real combat training, so I can recommend you to join our Azure Travelers adventure group and prepare for Immortal Road Eternal, which is going into public beta this year. But what did you do?”
Faced with her questioning, Yi Ye Fu Yun could only show an awkward smile.
“I forgot! I just forgot while playing.” Looking at the woman in front of him, Yi Ye Fu Yun did not show any rich-guy arrogance at all, only the submission coming from genetic pressure.
Ye Qinglu.
This name was extremely unfamiliar to the virtual game world, but the Azure Travelers adventure group, formed by more than twenty free players, was probably known by all the major game guilds and studios.
Because this was an adventure group like a legend. They had fought across more than ten insanely popular masterpieces and created one legendary record after another. Even the super guilds ruling over multiple god-tier games tried very hard to win them over.
But unfortunately, the identities of these people were extremely mysterious. No guild had ever discovered the true identities of the members of Azure Travelers.
And Ye Qinglu was the vice leader of Azure Travelers. It was only because of her position that she could recommend him, an ordinary expert, to join. Otherwise, he would not even qualify to line up for the test.
“Forgot?” After hearing that, Ye Qinglu immediately smiled, the smile on her face as gentle as a spring breeze in March, but it sent a chill down Yi Ye Fu Yun’s spine. “Fine. Since you forgot, let me give you some proper training.”
“Change your clothes and get into the arena. Let me see what you have improved lately.”
The new year is almost over!
