Power Transmission Trouble, Spirit Realm Fish as a Trading Condition
Suddenly someone shouted, "Quick, scroll to the back! You can exchange for outfits and mounts!"
Sure enough, the achievements section on the back page featured fashion items and mounts.
With flowing robes and a white crane spreading its wings, she not only looks elegant but also helps with her cultivation progress. Her white crane mount soars through the clouds, far more handsome than an ordinary vulture.
Someone nearby said helplessly, "Although the Summoned Beast given by the Dragon Diagram Guild looks clumsy, it was still free."
"Look at the price tag on this white crane! Even two lifetimes' worth of achievement points might not be enough to buy it!"
Then someone shouted at the shopkeeper Zhang Fugui, "Fugui, how dare you price this mount at a thousand? That's outrageous!"
Zhang Fugui put on a wry smile, but in his heart he was annoyed that these guests were short of money and had many complaints.
Poor people always cause trouble.
It's hard to make money off the poor, but they're easy to fool.
Earning even a penny from them takes a lot of effort.
But as long as you offer health products, investments, education, houses, dowries, good jobs... you can easily swindle hundreds of thousands of yuan from them over a lifetime, plus millions in loans to cover their savings...
So he had no choice but to explain in a friendly manner, "These white cranes are rare in the world. Riding one is like being in a fairyland, and they are most favored by female spiritual cultivators."
"And look at this Power Transmission Pill. It allows a high-level cultivator to transfer their cultivation to a low-level one, and the experience gained is extremely generous. It only costs three hundred achievement points, which is truly a sincere offering from our shop."
Only then did everyone notice that, in addition to the usual weapons and mounts, the merchant pavilion also displayed many items they had never seen before.
Just like the Power Transmission Pill, if two players are more than twenty levels apart, the higher-level player can transfer their cultivation to the lower-level player, and the higher-level player can gain a massive amount of cultivation based on the level difference.
This is the first time I've seen "massive" experience described in a game. Three hundred achievement points seem like a worthwhile challenge.
Some lamented, "If I had more achievement points, I would definitely have tried this Power Transmission Pill!"
"If I could get Senior Chongxing his skills to me—he's twenty levels higher than me—maybe I could climb straight to the top of the experience rankings!"
Those around him immediately laughed at him, "You want to exchange for the Power Transmission Pill? That's harder than persuading the great master Chongxing."
"You're complete strangers. The transfer of skills can only be done once a day and takes an hour. Where would you find the time to do that, sir?"
Most players naturally choose to play within their means.
"Alright, Mr. Mo, stop worrying about the expensive stuff. Look at what we can afford— Double Experience Pill and battlefield burden reduction tokens. One makes wilderness training twice as effective, and the other allows you to skip a certain battle mission and directly receive the reward. Isn't that a great deal?"
"That makes sense. Mount costumes should be something that powerful beings should consider."
"This battlefield burden reduction order is excellent. I'll exchange it for 100 achievement points. Fighting for the flag for two hours every day is truly exhausting. Moreover, it can be used multiple times, although there is a cooldown period. This thing is too cost-effective."
Just then, someone called out, "Everyone, make way! Chongxing has arrived!"
Zhang Mingzhen was reluctant to come at this time, as the shop was already crowded.
However, he was about to go to complete the task assigned by the city lord. However, he was still two levels short of entering the level 60 Secret Realm, so he needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. That's why he came to the achievement shop to find some items to help with his cultivation.
A player greeted them warmly, completely ignoring the shopkeeper Zhang Fugui's stiff expression, and whispered, "Please, sir, we've already looked at everything."
"This shopkeeper's pricing is outrageous; you'll need to carefully compare prices before exchanging your currency."
Zhang Mingzhen nodded slightly. "Thank you."
Sure enough, once you become stronger, you'll see smiles everywhere.
Conversely, if you are weak, you'll be surrounded by assholes.
His gaze then swept over the prices of the goods, and he realized why everyone was complaining that the merchants were unscrupulous.
He already has the most achievement points among all players, but even that's only a little over five thousand.
A single piece of equipment here is priced at five thousand, which is astonishing, even though it's a "Platinum" grade item I've never seen before.
He had looked at everyday items; the store sold a wide variety of goods, which would be convenient if he had enough achievement points.
"Satiating Potion - 1 point."
"Battlefield Burden Reduction Order - 100 points. Cooldown: 1 week."
"Double Experience Pill - 100 points. Cooldown time: 3 days."
"Power Transmission Pill - 300 points. One-time consumable."
"Profound Clarity Mirror - 1000 points. Detailed investigation."
"Mount (Silver) - 1000 points."
"Wings (Silver) - 1500 points."
"Random Equipment Box (Gold) - 1000 points."
"Random Gear Box (Platinum) - 5000 points."
The prices listed later were even higher, so Zhang Mingzhen stopped looking at them closely.
Platinum equipment is good, but the price is too high, and it may not be suitable for you even if you get it.
He found that the equipment here was generally overpriced, while everyday items were more cost-effective, such as Double Experience Pill.
The purpose of the Profound Clarity Mirror is unclear, but judging from its price, it should be a practical item.
Some items were somewhat superfluous to him, such as satiety potions—any sensible monk would not exchange achievement points for these items that could be purchased with gold and silver.
He no longer needs the Battlefield Burden Reduction Order or the Power Transmission Pill; he can complete his daily battles quickly without wasting time.
In the game "God's Domain", there are almost no players who can transfer internal energy to him.
After all, his ranking has always been at the top, leaving the second place far behind.
That Power Transmission Pill was no longer of any practical use to him.
He couldn't possibly pass on his skills to anyone else.
He is neither a sycophant, nor a loyal friend, nor does he have a girlfriend.
There will be absolutely no waste in transferring experience and skills.
This is practically a pill for simps. He can already foresee how many high-level simps will pass on their hard-earned experience points to the scheming girls in the future.
Just like in real-life marriages, a family business built up over decades of hard work was more than half taken away by a scheming woman.
Even billionaires cannot escape this calamity.
Currently, the only thing of value to him is the Double Experience Pill.
He exchanged his achievement points for twenty tokens, each of which provides double the rewards for 24 hours.
Actually, it's not very cost-effective.
After all, achievement points can't be farmed; they're all one-time rewards.
For him, it's just a matter of needing experience.
After leaving the achievement shop, he returned to the vicinity of the Wolf Barbarian Palace, took a pill, and then threw himself into the extermination of wild monsters, striving to reach a higher level.
"Let's take a count of how many members in our guild have redeemed the Power Transmission Pill."
Since the Achievement Shop opened, the Dragon Diagram Guild has been closely monitoring its members' exchange preferences.
Battlefield burden reduction orders and Double Experience Pill are the mainstream choices, both aimed at improving leveling efficiency and saving valuable time.
However, the emergence of the Power Transmission Pill disrupted this pattern.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, it turns out that these Power Transmission Pill actually come in different grades.
The highest level requires a difference of 20 levels, while the lowest only requires a difference of 1 level.
It must have been changed by that merchant Zhang Fugui overnight.
After all, going directly 20 levels higher is too difficult.
The highest level currently is only 58.
A level 26 player received a power transfer from a higher-level player and instantly leveled up!
Even though this low-level player already had more than half of their experience bar filled, this is enough to prove that the greater the level difference between the two parties involved in the experience transfer, the higher the percentage of experience transferred.
This is completely different from the fixed bonus of Double Experience Pill.
In order to understand the specific rules, various guilds organized their members to test the effects of the Power Transmission Pill.
"We tested three groups of players with level differences of three, six, and nine."
"A three-level difference provides approximately 30% more experience, a six-level difference increases this to 50%, and a nine-level difference reaches an astonishing 70%!"
The speed at which this experience is acquired is terrifying.
Thirty percent of the experience is equivalent to completing one more daily battlefield, while fifty percent is comparable to the hard-earned rewards of a whole day. The value of the Power Transmission Pill is self-evident.
Although the power can only be transferred once a day and the process takes a long time, the deal is still worthwhile compared to the benefits.
Major guilds began compensating high-level members and encouraging them to pass on their skills to lower-level teammates.
Those who receive the skill transfer not only need sufficient guild contributions, but also need to possess a certain level of combat skills and operational proficiency.
More importantly, they must have enough achievement points to exchange for the Transfer of Power Transmission Pill.
Players who have already redeemed the pills hope to maximize the benefits of each power transfer.
At this moment, the players at the top of the rankings naturally become the targets of everyone's pursuit.
"Brother, hurry up and transfer my power to me! I just changed my Power Transmission Pill, and you're the highest level in our guild now, so hurry up!"
In the Century Imperial City Guild, the Imperial Dynasty Little Princess is pestering the Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven.
"Stop fooling around."
"You're not even level 30 yet, you're looking for Yes Yes Yes?? Transferring your power is enough."
"Only when I pass it to him can it achieve the best effect."
The Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven had no intention of indulging her.
My younger sister isn't cut out for combat, so having a higher level would be a waste.
She agreed to let Yes Yes Yes? cousin pass on his skills to her out of consideration for family ties.
"You'll transfer more experience! There's a whole ten levels between us, I don't care, I want you to transfer it to me!"
Why settle for second best when there are higher-quality options available?
She's very shrewd.
"Sending it to you would be a waste of an opportunity, and it's a one-time thing. You'll have to find someone yourself next time."
"I and 'Yes Yes Yes?' have to serve the other senior members of the guild. You need to consider the bigger picture and not be willful."
"It's no use telling Mom and Dad this time."
At present, most guilds choose to transfer skills with a three- or six-level gap, which offers the best cost-effectiveness, and very few people attempt a gap of more than nine levels.
After all, the guild needs to consider the overall interests.
However, there are always exceptions.
"President, have Chongxing with Chongxing? He wastes one opportunity to transfer power every day, it breaks my heart to see him do it."
"He's more than ten levels below you, so don't give the opportunity to an outsider."
"I really don't understand how he levels up. The higher the level, the more experience is required. How can he always stay so far ahead?" "Yes Yes Yes??" Looking at the level leaderboard, her tone was full of helplessness.
"He's always been farming monsters alone in high-level areas; we've never seen him in maps of the same level."
"I heard he also went to the achievement shop, probably to get Double Experience Pill."
"It shows he's fighting in the wild... Strange, why aren't his coordinates showing in my friend list? Where is he farming monsters?"
"Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven" stared at the name on the ranking list, equally finding it unbelievable.
Chongxing a few days ago, I was at level 55, and now I'm at level 58.
His leveling speed seems similar to everyone else's, but his base level is more than ten levels higher, and the experience required is on a completely different level.
At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen, who was grinding monsters in the wild, kept receiving messages from the management of various guilds.
Even close friends like Utterly Empty and Wandering Arrow sent requests to transfer their skills.
How could he possibly have time to deal with all this?
I just took Double Experience Pill, and now the skill transfer will take a whole hour. It's really not worth it.
He must race against time and focus on his path to advancement.
The offered reward failed to entice him, so he simply stopped responding to any further messages.
"There's been no movement from Chongxing. I've inquired about other guilds, and it seems he hasn't had any contact with any of them. Could it be that some player has privately asked him to transfer their skills?"
There are also many high-level players in the Legion who urgently need to transfer their skills.
After all, once someone receives the power transfer from Chongxing, their position on the experience ranking list could very well skyrocket immediately.
"I don't believe he accepted anyone's request to transfer his skills."
"He's always shown as being on a special map in my friends list, probably grinding experience in the wild. His ranking in the top ten of the leaderboard hasn't changed at all."
"Either no one successfully applied, or the person receiving the power transfer was too low-level to even make it onto the list—but the latter possibility is extremely slim."
"Qin Xiao Youhui," he said, watching the constantly updating rankings.
At this moment, the levels of many players on the leaderboard are constantly changing, indicating that some have already received the power transfer, and new names are climbing up every second.
"We cannot remain passive."
"He didn't agree to transfer his power, perhaps because he thought it would take too long and delay his own leveling up—after all, a single power transfer takes a full hour."
The Legion Guild's management was well aware that these top combatants would never easily pass on their skills to others unless they were members of the same guild.
Who would willingly make a losing proposition that slows down their own experience gain while allowing others to level up for no reason?
Just then, Commander-in-Chief Lu Zheng issued a new order, "We can use the 'Spirit Realm Fish' newly discovered by the Legion to trade with Chongxing."
Information about the Spirit Realm Fish, known only to a few high-ranking members, was being used directly as a bargaining chip—it seems they're determined to push Qin Xiao Youhui to second place on the rankings!
"Sigh, it's all because of all the things that have happened online lately. It's made young people unwilling to consider the big picture, and they're all becoming selfish and self-serving."
"It's all because of those who flaunt their wealth that ordinary people no longer believe in moral principles."
"Yes, in the past, everyone would get excited when they heard about the big picture or that it was for the benefit of everyone, but now they just think we're fools."
"If it were still based on the old moral standards, Chongxing would definitely have joined our Legion directly. He could do anything with just one order; there would be no need for so many transactions."
"That's true."
These people all sighed with regret.
They're not stupid; they know exactly how this situation came about.
With advanced internet access and smooth information flow, information is readily available.
The big fish are all so fat from eating themselves, why would they expect the small shrimp to take care of the bigger picture?
Only someone who's been fooled into thinking they're stupid would continue doing that.
Zhang Mingzhen had originally decided not to reply to any more messages, but the Legion Guild's management continued to contact him, even sending him information about an item he had never seen before.
"Spirit Realm Fish (Spirit Seed): Grants a large amount of experience points per second for sixty minutes after consumption. Limited to one use per day."
"Oh? This Spirit Realm Fish is quite interesting."
The Double Experience Pill he had was about to expire.
"Please wait ten minutes. We'll discuss this in detail in ten minutes."
As expected of the largest official guild in the God's Domain, the Legion Guild always manages to uncover new items and information.
