A Large-Scale Exchange Mission

Why did everyone suddenly disappear? Because a new story mission has begun.

"Ding~ You have collected all ninety-eight Tianshu Fragment, successfully triggering a large-scale friendly exchange storyline quest."

"Task Details: As the saying goes, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?' The Jade Emperor, knowing that all the readers of the Mysterious Bookstore have arrived in the Lotus Lantern World, has specially invited you to visit the Heavenly Court for two days. During this time, readers can exchange items with the Heavenly Court Immortals for any item. The obtained items will be converted into points (Note: the higher the value of the obtained item, the more points you will receive)."

"Task Requirements: As the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, you should take the lead and participate in this story mission. Accumulating 500 points is considered a success, and the reward is the ninety-ninth Tianshu Fragment."

When Ma Feifei heard about this mission, he was devastated.

The mission, to put it simply, was for Ma Feifei to lead a group of people to the heavens, then use his own belongings to attract the interest of the gods, thereby exchanging items; the exchanged items would be converted into points, but the problem was, Ma Feifei had nothing!

Besides Spirit Crystal, the space bag contained only some eighth- and seventh-tier spirit artifacts that he occasionally stole from Yun Qingyang's space ring, as well as some other miscellaneous items; nothing else.

Putting aside the fact that these things are worthless in the eyes of those gods, in the current situation, who knows if Yun Qingyang is watching the projection? What if I take those things out and Yun Qingyang finds out? Wouldn't I be beaten up again after we get out?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Besides, what treasures could these cultivators possibly possess that would interest the immortals? Ma Feifei felt that this story mission was likely doomed.

"Sigh!" Thinking of this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh.

"Whoosh~"

Just as Ma Feifei was sighing, he was teleported to a huge cotton cloud above the Heavenly Court, where he met the thousand book lovers who had entered the Lotus Lantern World.

To Ma Feifei's relief, no one died this time, which meant he wouldn't lose any Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points.

"Shopkeeper!" Just as the thousand people were wondering what was going on, they suddenly saw Ma Feifei appear and were overjoyed, Ma Feifei around him.

"Shopkeeper, what brings you here?" Azi ran up to Ma Feifei quickly and asked curiously.

Ma Feifei rolled his eyes. He harbored deep Grudge towards this girl. In the last book club feedback event, only one out of 100,000 readers got the 25th question right.

That's right, this person is the girl named Azi!

Ma Feifei always believed that, in theory, no one should be able to answer the questions the system presented correctly.

But to everyone's surprise, Azi actually answered "lonely to old age" correctly. Ma Feifei was even 100% certain that Azi didn't know the answer to the question. The reason she was able to answer correctly was because she had already Curse herself to be lonely to old age.

This heretic! This troublemaker! This cunning and wicked person! Ma Feifei felt that she was already being very merciful by not dragging her out to be whipped, so how could she possibly give her a kind look?

But look at her now, she's acting like nothing happened, still joking and laughing with Ma Feifei, seemingly having forgotten her previous Curse that Ma Feifei would die alone.

"I'll be giving everyone their tasks." Although Ma Feifei was reluctant, his body language betrayed him. He smiled at Azi and said this.

"A mission? What mission?" Azi asked in confusion.

The thousand cultivators who had gathered around also looked bewildered.

Ma Feifei coughed and, with a serious expression, repeated the task that the system had just released.

At the same time, the details of this mission appeared on the projection screen outside the Bookstore, except that Ma Feifei's mission was erased.

"A swap mission?" Whether it was the cultivators inside the projection or those watching from outside the Bookstore, they all frowned slightly, carefully digesting the mission.

"This Heavenly Court is full of immortals. Would those immortals even want their things?" a cultivator asked curiously outside the Bookstore.

"That's right, those eighth and ninth-tier spiritual artifacts are probably not worth mentioning in the eyes of immortals, right?" Most cultivators held this view.

Indeed, this is true; there is an insurmountable gap between the Immortal Realm and those of us who are cultivators. If you don't become an immortal, you remain a mortal.

These six words are enough to illustrate the difference between the two. It's like a three-year-old child trying to exchange his beloved toy for something valuable in an adult's hands; there's simply no equivalent exchange value between them.

For the immortals, it was a completely unprofitable deal.

Those who can become immortals are naturally not fools; the trick of exchanging trash for treasure will not work.

Naturally, some practitioners in the projection couldn't help but raise their doubts.

In response to this question, Ma Feifei explained, "It's a barter system, and it doesn't necessarily have to involve exchanging your magical artifacts. Any valuable or eye-catching item is acceptable; the same goes for the exchanged items—it could be a piece of clothing, a headscarf, or even a strand of hair from an immortal. Of course, whether these items can be exchanged for points is unclear."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that everyone understood the mission rules, Ma Feifei said, "Now that everyone understands, let's get started. You only have two days. After two days, you will be teleported out, and the leaderboard will stop updating. Rewards will be calculated based on your ranking on the leaderboard. Good luck!"

After Ma Feifei finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a thousand people were instantly Whirlwind, flying to various parts of the Heavenly Court.

Seeing everyone being slapped away, Ma Feifei was about to sit down and think about who to ask to exchange his items when a voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Ma Feifei.

"Shopkeeper!" Azi squatted down next to Ma Feifei and asked excitedly, "Where are we going next?"

"What? Where are we going...? Why are you still here?!" Ma Feifei was really furious. She had been too casual in slapping him and forgot that Azi was right next to her, so she had overlooked her.

Why did you have to leave her out? Ma Feifei waved his sleeve, ready to send Azi away.

"Shopkeeper, no!" Azi grabbed Ma Feifei's sleeve and said pitifully, "Shopkeeper, please let Azi come with you. Azi will be very obedient."

Honey trap?

"Heh..." Ma Feifei sneered. Laozi to live a lonely life, this trick won't work!

My right hand was being pulled, but my left hand was still usable.

Azi seemed to understand Ma Feifei's thoughts and quickly said, "Shopkeeper, if you bring Azi with you, Azi will give you a treasure."

Ma Feifei shook off Azi's hand, looked at Azi with righteous indignation, and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would bow down for a pittance?"

Two items!

"I'm planning a trip to the Guanghan Palace, do you want to come along?"

"Whee..."
