Trading, Net Worth Over Ten Thousand!

Li Dongze was stunned. He looked at the Character Panel in Cultivation Era, then switched back to reality to look at Jiang Liu. After going back and forth several times, he finally made sure.

Jiang Liu had really struck it rich!

"Where did you get those Spirit Stones? Where did you get a Supreme Water Spiritual Root?"

Li Dongze stared fixedly at Jiang Liu, keeping his voice extremely low. "Sell a kidney? Not worth that much. Sell yourself? Not worth that much either. Don't tell me you took out a loan shark loan?"

What kidney could be worth a VIP1? A rich cougar weighing several hundred pounds would have to throw out a Supreme Water Spiritual Root to keep Jiang Liu around.

His family was in business, so he naturally understood loans. Only loan sharks could explain why Jiang Liu had become rich overnight.

What kind of loan shark could fork over so many Spirit Stones? Introduce him, would you?

"No."

Jiang Liu gave the answer he had prepared long ago. "I used the Spirit Stones from my and my grandpa's daily sign-ins for a single pull from the Permanent Pool and got a high-grade magic artifact. I listed it on Taobao, and it sold instantly."

"I used the Spirit Stones from selling that high-grade magic artifact to pull again, got another high-grade magic artifact in a single pull, and sold that one instantly too."

"I got lucky and made a few Spirit Stones. I was planning to pull a few more magic artifacts to sell, but who would've thought I'd hit the jackpot and pull a Supreme Water Spiritual Root?"

"Sigh, I got a little unlucky afterward. I threw all my remaining Spirit Stones into the Permanent Pool and didn't get a single thing back. What a waste."

Jiang Liu even sighed as he spoke, his face full of heartache.

That answer perfectly explained why he had VIP1 and a Supreme Water Spiritual Root.

He had gotten lucky. If anyone asked, it was all luck.

Jiang Liu's words made Li Dongze's face darken. His eyes practically spat fire, revealing undisguised envy, jealousy, and resentment.

He had finally understood Jiang Liu's rise to wealth.

He used sign-in Spirit Stones to single-pull a high-grade magic artifact, sold it to pull another high-grade magic artifact, then sold that to pull a Supreme Spiritual Root.

More than a dozen Spirit Stones from daily sign-ins had somehow been turned into over a thousand Spirit Stones.

Good lord. High-grade magic artifacts came out whenever he pulled, and he hit a Supreme Spiritual Root in one shot. Did your family run the Permanent Pool or something?

For everyone else, the Permanent Pool was a bottomless abyss. For you, it was a wholesale supplier?

Li Dongze truly felt unbalanced. He had pulled from the Permanent Pool over twenty times. Forget Supreme Spiritual Roots—he had not even seen a trace of a magic artifact. Every single pull had been a white meteor.

After seeing the Permanent Pool's drop rates, he had thought everyone was the same.

But he had never imagined that people were different.

Luck gods and cursed unlucky players were as far apart as heaven and earth!

Li Dongze glared at Jiang Liu with envy, jealousy, and hatred in his eyes. After holding it in for a long time, he finally squeezed out one sentence. "You're seriously incredible!"

He had nothing to say. What could he say? If the Arena had been open, he would have dragged Jiang Liu into a fight.

Not some turn-based battle between paper characters, but a real, fists-and-blades brawl.

This was too unfair!

This cultivation game had become an entirely different game in Jiang Liu's hands!

"You're pretty incredible too."

Jiang Liu secretly laughed and patted Li Dongze on the shoulder. "Your family is rich. They can support your cultivation too. At the very least, you can keep up with my progress."

He had told Li Dongze about his situation simply because he wanted Li Dongze to spread the word—that he was ridiculously lucky. That way, no one would ever suspect where his Spirit Stones came from.

He wanted to build himself into a pure luck god and use that identity to hide the 0.1-discount Welfare Version client. That plan began now. Over time, people would only focus on his "luck god" persona.

After all, no one could possibly check his in-game purchase records.

Li Dongze: "..."

My family has tens of billions, and we have to chase after the progress of an ordinary student? Screw that!

You can be lucky for a while, but can you be lucky forever?

"Don't talk to me. Big spenders never play games with luck gods. That's the rule."

Li Dongze slapped Jiang Liu's hand away, sat up straight with a deeply aggrieved expression, and silently began circulating the Essence Gathering Art.

"Really?"

Jiang Liu said with a smile, "I still have sixty-three Qi Refining Pills. Want to buy them?"

"I also pulled a high-grade cultivation technique. It can increase cultivation speed by thirty percent. Want to buy an Imprint Version?"

The moment he finished speaking, Li Dongze pounced on him.

"Brother Liu, sell them to me! I want everything!"

Li Dongze followed his heart completely. One second ago, he had not wanted to acknowledge Jiang Liu; the next, he was calling him Brother Liu.

Sixty-three Qi Refining Pills were enough to raise his experience bar by a huge amount. More importantly, there was the cultivation technique that increased cultivation speed by thirty percent.

You even pulled something this broken? You really deserve to die!

Li Dongze cursed Jiang Liu furiously in his heart, but his face was crammed with a flattering smile. "Jiang Liu, for the sake of all those times I treated you to overnight internet café sessions, keep supplying me with this technique, okay?"

One Imprint Version could only last ten days. He wanted more!

"How many Spirit Stones are you offering?"

Although Jiang Liu asked that, he knew Li Dongze was the only rich person he knew. Even if he wanted to sell to someone else, he would not know who to sell to.

"Seventy Spirit Stones for the Qi Refining Pills, and fifty Spirit Stones for the technique every ten days. How about it?"

Li Dongze gritted his teeth.

One hundred and twenty Spirit Stones!

Jiang Liu's heart shook wildly—then shook again, then shook for a third time!

"We're brothers. I'll send you the trade."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Liu hurriedly bought an Imprint Version from the in-game Mall, copied the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique once, and then sent Li Dongze a trade request.

The trade was completed.

When Jiang Liu saw the 125.57 Spirit Stones in his inventory, his grin stretched crookedly across his face.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

He felt like he could sweep through every spending option in Cultivation Era.

Jiang Liu was overjoyed. When Li Dongze saw the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique, he also broke into a wide grin.

A cultivation technique that increased cultivation speed by thirty percent!

Although it needed to be cultivated to the third revolution, that did not matter.

"When this Imprint Version expires, will the technique's progress reset to zero?"

Li Dongze suddenly asked. The first level of the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique only increased cultivation speed by ten percent. If it reset when it expired, he would be taking a massive loss.

"I don't know either."

The question stumped Jiang Liu. After hesitating, he said, "If it resets, I'll refund your money?"

"Works for me."

Li Dongze did not return it either. Even at the first revolution, the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique was stronger than the Essence Gathering Art.

"I still have nine uses left on this Imprint Version."

Jiang Liu said to Li Dongze, "You have lots of friends. Help me advertise it and see whether anyone else wants to buy it. If it resets upon expiration, I'll refund thirty Spirit Stones."

If it reset and he had to refund people, he would treat it as borrowing money. In any case, he was not worried about being unable to repay it.

"Sure, sure. I'll go home and ask whether my dad wants one."

Li Dongze answered casually, then eagerly learned the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique and entered a cultivation state.

In this classroom filled with abundant spiritual energy, the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique was like wings to a tiger for him. He did not want to waste even a single second.

Seeing Li Dongze enter cultivation, Jiang Liu also settled down. After stabilizing the great circulation of spiritual energy for the Three Revolutions Mysterious Technique, he switched directly back into Cultivation Era.

One hundred and twenty-five Spirit Stones!

An actual value of 12,500 Spirit Stones!

He was about to enter shopping-spree mode!
