Lavish Rewards, Beauty Bond Card
Lu Yang didn't rush to check outside. After returning to the inn with Liu Yaoyao, he entered the Palace of the Tycoon.
Lin Ying was refining pills in the Alchemy Chamber. Lu Yang sent Liu Yaoyao to comprehend the Cultivation Method first, while he opened the panel to check the status of this challenge mission.
[Challenge Mission: The Tycoon's Shopping Challenge]
[Challengers: Hongyan (Lin Ying), Hongyan (Liu Yaoyao)]
[Mission Introduction: Before the Dao of Alchemy Convention, the host will accompany two concubines (Lin Ying and Liu Yaoyao) on shopping trips. The closer their spending amounts are, the higher the total spending amount, and the greater the reward. (Note: During the shopping trip, the host must not reveal the spending amounts of the two concubines; otherwise, the reward will be forfeited.)]
[Challenge has ended.]
[The beauty (Lin Ying) spent a total of 1,036,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[The beauty (Liu Yaoyao) spent a total of 1,052,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.]
The two women's spending differed by 16,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, with their total spending exceeding one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
[Assessing the cultivation levels of the two beauties...]
[Both beauties are at the Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[Challenge Mission Results: Top Tier!]
[Beauty (Lin Ying) gains: Increased understanding of the Dao of Alchemy Principle, increased understanding of the Wood Dao Principle, Intelligence +1, Constitution +1, Charm +1. Random Primary Cultivation Great Dao Fortune Card *1.]
[The beauty (Liu Yaoyao) gains: Increased understanding of Spirit Dao Principle, Intelligence +1, Constitution +1, Charm +1, and 1 Random Primary Cultivation Great Dao Fortune Card.]
[The host gains: Intelligence +3, Constitution +3, Charm +3, 1 Random Primary Cultivation Great Dao Fortune Card, random multiplier refund of spent amount, and 50,000 Universal Experience.]
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the challenge for the first time and achieved a top-tier result. You will also receive: 3 "Tycoon's Shop" refresh cards and 1 Beauty Bond Card.]
Looking at the string of rewards, Lu Yang took a deep breath, a bright smile spreading across his face.
This is truly a challenge reward; the rewards are incredibly generous!
The final result reached the highest level, which means the task was completed almost perfectly.
With two female companions, all three attributes received a slight increase.
Don't underestimate the small amount; even a 0.1 increase in attribute makes a big difference for cultivators. For Liu Yaoyao and Lin Ying, 1 point is an extremely valuable improvement!
Keep in mind that in the early stages, Lin Ying only received a fraction of an inch of attribute bonus when completing random tasks.
In addition, there is a new card reward.
Curious, Lu Yang opened the message to check it.
[Random Primary Cultivation Great Dao Fortune Card: Upon opening, you will randomly obtain a major Dao Fortune Trait. The quality is random; the higher the quality, the lower the chance of obtaining it.]
Upon seeing the reward, Lu Yang's eyes widened slightly, a look of astonishment appearing in them.
Random quality?
Doesn't that mean that this Luck Card might even have a chance to yield a Celestial-grade Fortune Trait?!
While it's not as reliable as Random Immortal-Grade Fortune Card, which guarantees an Immortal-grade attribute, it's still incredibly powerful given the chance!
Of course, this is entirely based on luck; if you're unlucky, you might only get a low-grade Fortune Trait.
That would be a huge loss.
Well, it's a card game for gamblers; heaven and hell are just a thought away.
Of course, its rarity is certainly not low.
Liu Yaoyao, Lin Ying, and Lu Yang each received one; they can open them and try them out later.
As for the improvement in understanding the relevant Dao Principles, this is a regular reward from the system, so there's not much to say about it.
Unlike Hongyan, Lu Yang received more attribute rewards, with each of his three attributes increasing by 3 points.
In addition, there were a whopping 50,000 Universal Experience. Without saying a word, Lu Yang used all of them on his Spirit Root experience.
From this point on, Lu Yang's Spirit Root experience exceeded 400,000, which was close to halfway through the progress bar.
Lu Yang now Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root, and with full experience, he can become Spirit Physique. Combined with several Spirit Physique possessing the Fortune Trait, Lu Yang's talent can be significantly enhanced.
In addition, there will be a random multiple of the amount spent as a rebate.
The reward left Lu Yang completely stunned.
He went to great lengths to get Liu Yaoyao and Lin Ying to spend over two million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and you're just giving it back to me?
And they even offer to return the money many times over?
I have more Spirit Stones than I can possibly use!
Lu Yang sighed softly, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and his expression carried a trace of undisguised melancholy.
Having too many Spirit Stones, and spending them only increases the problem – that's a real headache.
Lu Yang silently clicked on the random multiplier.
[Host has received a multiplier reward of 12. Congratulations, host, you have received 25,056,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.]
Lu Yang: "..."
Another 25 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were added.
This is comparable to the Spirit Stone wealth of a relatively weak Nascent Soul sect.
He shook his head, shaking off his hesitation, and continued checking the rewards.
The normal challenge mission rewards are as described above. However, since this is Lu Yang's first time starting a challenge mission and he achieved a high score, there are additional rewards.
[Tycoon's Shop Refresh Card: Refreshes the items in the Tycoon's Shop once upon use.]
Upon seeing the refresh card for the Godly Shop, Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he revealed a look of delight.
This thing is pretty good.
After all, Tycoon's Shop's inventory once a month.
Although the refresh time isn't actually that long for a cultivator, Lu Yang's cultivation level improved so quickly that a month felt like a long time to him.
This time I got three refresh cards, so I can refresh three times. Not bad!
You should know that the items in this [Tycoon's Shop] are all rewards that Lu Yang has obtained. If he gets a reward like the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree or Random Immortal-Grade Fortune Card, that would be awesome.
Finally, there was a new reward card. Lu Yang clicked on the card's description to view it.
[Beauty Bond Card: After use, you can designate two beauties with full affinity to establish a "bond" relationship. When one of them cultivates, the other will receive an additional 10% cultivation boost. Furthermore, beauties with a "bond" relationship will share a mental connection, and when cultivating together with the host, their cultivation speed will be increased by an additional 30%.]
Lu Yang's expression turned strange as he looked at the description of the "Beauty Bond Card".
Um... how should I put this system reward?
It's definitely very powerful. Putting everything else aside, just the first effect alone—if one of the concubines cultivates, the other can gain an extra 20% increase in cultivation—that effect is already terrifying.
It's like getting 10% of the cultivation power for free!
But... something just doesn't feel right about this reward.
The second effect is somewhat outrageous: perfect understanding... but how exactly does that understanding work?
The image of mutual understanding during dual cultivation immediately flashed through Lu Yang's mind, and a feeling of eagerness arose in his heart.
This idiot system truly lives up to its name as the Urban Tycoon System; it's really going for such elaborate schemes, huh?
Of course, this effect isn't really just for show; it's actually quite powerful, since it can increase dual cultivation efficiency by an extra 30%!
You have to understand, Lu Yang already has the Dual Cultivation Resonance Formation, plus all sorts of other miscellaneous bonuses, so his Dual Cultivation speed is already fast enough. Adding an extra 30% makes it practically like flying.
Moreover... the ability to connect on a spiritual level cannot be limited to dual cultivation; it can also be used in magical combat.
If two women who have established a "bond" join forces, their combined combat power, thanks to their mutual understanding, should be greater than the sum of its parts.
In addition, practicing Cultivation Method such as Integrated Body formations can also have a powerful effect on achieving a connection of minds!
Overall, this is an extremely powerful reward!
Lu Yang stared at the Beauty Bond Card and fell into deep thought.
So the question is, who is this thing best suited for?
