"Who's got the luckiest face?"
Seeing the chest, Gu Du turned to ask Bao Lao Er and the others.
Even a gaming great feared being unlucky!
"Never mind, I'm unlucky!"
Xiong Da, Cannot Eat Peach, and Li Taibai shook their heads and stepped aside.
Bao Lao Er shrugged.
"The biggest prize I've ever won was a free extra bottle!"
Hearing this, Gu Du immediately gave up on Bao Lao Er.
Bao Lao Er was even more unlucky than him!
"King Grey Wolf, you do it!"
Gu Du could only place his hopes in King Grey Wolf.
King Grey Wolf was a curious little guy.
Curious little guys always seemed to have decent luck.
"Oh!"
King Grey Wolf didn't hesitate. He answered and walked straight over to the chest.
Everyone's breathing grew rapid.
As the first chest in Immortal Path, and the first first-kill reward—
surely the loot wouldn't be too lame, right?
Under everyone's expectant gazes, King Grey Wolf opened the chest.
With a soft sound, the chest vanished!
The next moment, a pile of assorted items spilled onto the ground.
They gleamed with golden light, dazzling to the extreme.
"Why does this feel like some knockoff browser game? One star!"
After seeing this through his Divine Sense, Ye Yu couldn't help grumbling.
He'd have to get the system to change it later.
How had a grand, high-end cultivation game ended up looking like some knockoff browser game?
"Holy crap, a Cultivation Method dropped! It's Lightning Five Consecutive Whips!"
"Wahaha, Bao Guo Dao Yi! It's purple gear!"
"What's this? Spirit stones? Is this going to be the game's currency from now on?"
"I picked up a copy of Receive, Transform, Release. Anyone want it?"
The cries of Gu Du and the others reached Ye Yu's ears.
They left him momentarily stunned.
"There really are Lightning Five Consecutive Whips and Receive, Transform, Release Cultivation Methods?"
"System, you're not messing with me, are you?"
Although those old internet memes from Ye Yu's time on Earth had long since vanished into history,
he'd never heard of a comedian named Ma Baoguo, and had no idea what Lightning Five Consecutive Whips or Receive, Transform, Release were!
But judging by the bizarre, twitchy way Boss Ma Baoguo had performed those two ultimate moves just now,
Ye Yu figured no player would want to practice those Cultivation Methods!
After all, using them would be way too embarrassing!
"As the team leader, Gu Du began assigning the spoils. "Anyone want Lightning Five Consecutive Whips or Receive, Transform, Release?"
Bao Lao Er and the others all shook their heads in unison.
"No!"
Their answer was quick and decisive, without the slightest hesitation!
What a joke. They'd rather stick to Lingxiao Immortal Palace's starting Cultivation Method and skills.
They wouldn't use skills that looked that crazy!
Anyone who didn't know better might think they were masochists!
"Fine, then I'll turn these two Cultivation Methods in to Brother Yu!"
"Maybe we can trade them for some Contribution points!"
Gu Du thought it over, then put away Lightning Five Consecutive Whips and Receive, Transform, Release.
After that, they began dividing up the equipment, spirit stones, and other loot.
Seeing that, Ye Yu withdrew his Divine Sense.
The Assassinate Ma Baoguo instance had been open for less than a day.
And the players had already cleared it!
He had to admit, this batch of players was astonishingly strong.
Not long after he withdrew his Divine Sense, Gu Du and the others returned from the instance and appeared in front of him.
"Brother Yu, does the sect take back Cultivation Methods?"
Gu Du pulled out Lightning Five Consecutive Whips and Receive, Transform, Release and handed them to Ye Yu.
Ye Yu nodded and accepted the Cultivation Methods.
The next moment, an electronic chime rang in his ear.
"Ding! Two B-grade Cultivation Methods detected. Recycling them will yield 150,000 Contribution points!"
Ye Yu froze for a moment, then was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected those two lousy Cultivation Methods to be worth 150,000 Contribution points!
What a windfall!
"Host, the drop rate for Lightning Five Consecutive Whips and Receive, Transform, Release is only 0.000001%, which is why they're so valuable!"
Sensing Ye Yu's confusion, the system explained.
Ye Yu understood.
That made sense.
Scarcity made things precious!
Even if Lightning Five Consecutive Whips and Receive, Transform, Release weren't exactly powerful Cultivation Methods!
"You have done well!"
"As disciples of my Lingxiao Immortal Palace, you must slay demons and eliminate evil, and set right the injustices of the world!"
"When your cultivation is complete, do not forget your original aspirations. Remember this well, remember!"
Ye Yu handed both Cultivation Methods directly over to the system, then swept his hand through the air.
A game notification sounded in Gu Du and the others' ears.
"You have received 2,000 Contribution points!"
Smiles of delight appeared on all their faces.
They shouldn't underestimate 2,000 Contribution points. For Ye Yu, it was nothing much!
But for the players, it was already a huge fortune!
Ye Yu was in such a good mood that he'd directly rewarded each of them with 2,000 Contribution points.
Even so, Ye Yu had still come out way ahead.
He'd gotten 138,000 Contribution points for free.
After all, if Gu Du and the others had practiced the Cultivation Methods themselves, Ye Yu wouldn't have gotten a single Contribution point.
"Thanks, Brother Yu!"
Gu Du and the others grinned and cupped their hands toward Ye Yu.
They'd made a killing from this Assassinate Ma instance, too.
"Brothers, I'll be heading off first!"
Just then, Gu Du turned to Bao Lao Er and the others with a smug little raise of his brows.
The next moment, brilliant white light flared around him.
Biubiubiubiu!
In just a few seconds, Gu Du's cultivation realm shot straight from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the first level of Foundation Building.
After the Story Event ended, Gu Du's cultivation realm had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Now, after running an instance, he'd leveled up again!
"Holy crap, did you trade Contribution points directly for experience?"
Bao Lao Er and the others stared in astonishment.
Gu Du was way too extravagant.
He'd actually used Contribution points to exchange for experience?
"Hahaha!"
Gu Du was feeling incredibly smug.
As the first player in Immortal Path to reach Foundation Building, how could he not be proud?
What's more, he was the first player to max out Basic Qi Cultivation Technique and Collapsing Fist!
He was certainly living up to his reputation as a Great God of gaming.
"You're amazing!"
Bao Lao Er and the others could only marvel at him.
But each of them was following a different path, so none of them envied Gu Du!
Among the six, the player named Li Taibai shook his head and sighed.
"This game's great in every way, but why hasn't it opened up the way of the sword?"
"Honestly, I'm really not used to using Collapsing Fist!"
Gu Du and the others hadn't kept their conversation from Ye Yu.
Hearing them, Ye Yu's thoughts stirred.
The way of the sword!
That could work!
In a cultivation game, how could there not be Sword Immortals?
Immortal Path felt a little all over the place right now. It didn't bring out the distinctive qualities of cultivators at all!
Ye Yu began to ponder.
"Looks like it's time to have the system roll out another update!"
"Otherwise, the players won't be able to make the most of their individual strengths!"
