Chapter 130: Not Even as Good as the System’s Face
To enter a Secret Realm and have such a great Encounter.
Song Jiulai felt refreshed.
She led Da Hu out, and this time Da Hu was willing to wag its tail for her.
Su Daqiang was still not far from the Sect. This time, Song Jiulai called him over and said with a gentle smile, “From now on, Da Hu will be in your care. I need to go out and travel.”
Traveling meant going out for training and secretly leveling up.
Su Daqiang nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay, Sect Master, you can rest assured, I will take good care of Da Hu!”
He was the first person to be assigned a Task by the Sect Master.
Even though the Sect Master hadn’t even mentioned giving him any Points.
He could still pat his chest with pride.
He felt so honored.
The System let out a meaningful tut, wondering when these Players would discover Song Jiulai’s true nature.
Su Daqiang couldn’t tell if Song Jiulai had reached Foundation Establishment Stage, but her Realm always felt mysterious in front of them.
Even though they privately guessed that the Sect Master’s Realm wasn’t high, it was definitely higher than theirs as Players, right?
After Song Jiulai left, she didn’t actually go far. She planned to buy some Ore first to try her hand at Artifact Refining.
Meanwhile, Su Daqiang, leading Da Hu, saw Fan Guozhou returning to the Sect.
Seeing the Big Yellow Dog next to Su Daqiang, Fan Guozhou was a little surprised, “Huh, where did this dog come from?”
“The Sect Master brought it back for us to raise.”
Su Daqiang petted the Big Yellow Dog. It was strange, even though this dog was an Earth Dog, its temperament seemed gentle and unafraid of people. It hadn’t resisted when Song Jiulai handed it to him earlier.
Su Daqiang said proudly, “This is a Task the Sect Master gave us. She said it was a dog raised by her Deceased Friend, and since the Deceased Friend just passed away, she probably brought it back.”
“Deceased Friend?” Fan Guozhou mused, “Does the Sect Master have any Deceased Friends here?”
Then this wouldn’t match their previous guess that the Sect Master was a lone wolf.
“Who knows about the Sect Master’s affairs?” Su Daqiang didn’t care about these things, petting the Big Yellow Dog, “Coincidentally, Han Tian has a pig, right? Wang Cai will have a companion now.”
Fan Guozhou was speechless, “Can that pig and dog play together?”
Su Daqiang retorted righteously, “How do we know if we don’t try? Anyway, that pig Han Tian raises doesn’t seem to be of much use.”
That pig ate and slept all day, truly living up to its name.
It could even steal some Spirit Wine.
It lived a very comfortable life.
The key was that Zhou Xiao, that Woman, doted on it.
She called it a rare pet.
Now it ran around the residential area below the mountain all day.
“We don’t have to worry about it anyway,” Fan Guozhou wasn’t concerned about these things. He was very busy now, working on the Spirit Wine business below the mountain. Tang Lingxiao had also rushed back from Liuxian City, saying that the Spirit Wine sales in Liuxian City were very good.
Indeed, everyone hadn’t tasted such a rare item before. The Spirit Wine sold quickly, and there was no worry about sales.
He stayed for a longer period this time and ordered a full five hundred bottles.
But this time the speed could be accelerated because their brewing Workshop was built. Now even Mortals could participate, freeing up our Player labor to do other things.
Song Jiulai, while buying Things below the mountain, also saw the greatly changed Wang’an County.
It was demolished quickly, and the previous appearance of Wang’an County was nowhere to be seen.
The Players had unified the residential areas into one temporary location, and other areas were undergoing massive construction.
However, rebuilding a city was a long-term endeavor. They still quarreled from time to time and had to change routes frequently. Now Wang’an County had only been given a basic foundation.
It was noticeably larger and neater than before.
Song Jiulai tasted it, and it vaguely resembled the square shape of Liuxian City.
However, a large square foundation was left in the very center, about a few thousand square meters.
It was said that the Longevity Sect headquarters would be built here, making it a famous landmark building.
Song Jiulai went along with their fuss.
The System also reminded her, “Now that you have reached Foundation Establishment Stage, the Sect’s Energy is partially full. You can open another fifty Quotas.”
Song Jiulai was a little shocked, “Fifty this time? That’s a big move.”
“It’s alright. The Sect’s energy is not lacking now. Moreover, since you’ve reached Foundation Establishment Stage, you could have opened fifty when you were in Qi Condensation. In fact, more could be released, but if too many people enter at once, it might be difficult to manage. And aren’t you planning to visit other Sects to check the situation?” the System said, “Do you want to release them now?”
Song Jiulai nodded, “You’re right. Let’s release them. However, these newly admitted Disciples will all be recorded as outer disciples. I’ll also issue 10 Tasks, giving 100 Points, for interested old Players to mentor them and introduce them to the basic rules of the Cultivation World.”
100 Points could be considered generous. As soon as Song Jiulai posted the Task, it was snatched up by 10 old Players within a short time.
It was just a pity that this time it was only in Wang’an County, and Song Jiulai still had to prepare Puppets herself.
The method for making Puppets was actually quite simple, and it was even simpler with cheap Materials.
The powder for the Puppets used a First Order Spirit Herb and a type of clay infused with Spiritual Energy, both common Materials on the market.
This Spirit Herb was sold in quite a lot at the Pharmacy. It could be used not only for making Puppets but also for some small animals.
It just needed to be refined using the Artifact Refining method.
This was convenient for Song Jiulai to test her Artifact Refining skills.
When the Players saw the Task for mentoring new Players, they knew that new Player Quotas would likely be released.
They thought it would be released immediately and even logged off to notify their friends and family to prepare to snatch up the Qualification. Even the national teams were nervously preparing.
Then, for a whole week, there was no movement in the Game…
The main reason was that Song Jiulai was stuck on making Puppets.
No wonder Su Huanli made them so quickly; she was skilled from practice.
Song Jiulai’s initial attempts at making Puppets were quite clumsy; either an Arm broke off or one thigh was thicker than the other…
At this moment, Song Jiulai finally understood that Su Huanli was actually talented in making Puppets.
But the dozens she made later with Shui Ping’s help had no problems…
So where was the problem?
Finally, after much effort, she mastered the technique and made a batch of presentable Puppets.
In fact, once she got the hang of it, she made them quite quickly. It was just that she really lacked Talent in Character Creation.
To put it specifically, they were even more unsightly than the System faces made by Su Huanli.
Song Jiulai looked at the figures whose facial features seemed distorted in subtle ways and silently asked the System, “They can do Character Creation later, right?”
System: “Yes, you’ve actually done very well.”
Song Jiulai’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
System: “Really. Their distinctiveness is much higher than previous Players. At least each one is uniquely ugly, guaranteed to be distinguishable, and won’t be scolded by Players as System faces.”
This was worse than System faces.
Song Jiulai: “…”
Damn.
