Chapter 9: Unscrupulous Navigation, Ten-Pull Draw
Ye Ye left the place where he had fought Tang San. He wanted to return to Star Dou Forest. After all, there were no check-in locations here, so he had to go back to Star Dou Forest to check in.
But he had no idea where Star Dou Forest was. He could only ask Xiao Ai for "Unscrupulous Navigation." As for why Ye Ye was so sure it was called "Unscrupulous Navigation," he had asked Xiao Ai before, and she had said that was the only navigation system available.
"Unscrupulous Navigation at your service. Destination: Star Dou Forest. Total distance: 1,080,000 meters. Estimated time: one day and one night. Route passes through four major cities, seven small cities, and 80 villages. Have a pleasant journey!"
Ye Ye: "Damn, that's so far, and I have to pass through so many human settlements. Are you trying to get me killed? Find me a route that stays farther away from people."
"Total distance: 5,201,314 meters. Route passes through one village. Estimated travel time: two and two-thirds days."
Ye Ye: "Fine, farther is fine. Safety first."
"Exactly, safety first. Unscrupulous Navigation reminds you: There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Drive carelessly, and your loved ones will weep. Have a safe journey!"
Ye Ye: "That's nice and all, but something about it feels off."
Ye Ye began his journey back to Star Dou Forest.
Ye Ye started walking in the direction "Unscrupulous Navigation" had given him. On and on he went~~
Less than half a day later, Ye Ye was already hungry. He took a rabbit leg from his system storage. Where had it come from? Of course, Ye Ye had saved it earlier. But one rabbit leg wasn't nearly enough to fill him up, and he was still starving. After turning into Godzilla, his appetite had grown, too. Ye Ye had considered taking out a Nuclear Rice, but he was afraid it would cause too much of a disturbance, so he didn't.
Ye Ye walked a little farther and spotted a small village ahead. There should be food there. Even if a Soul Beast shows up near a village this remote, there probably won't be much to worry about, he thought.
Ye Ye entered the village. He figured he could find food even in an unoccupied blacksmith's shop, but to his disappointment, there was nothing to eat. Just then, Xiao Ai's voice sounded.
[ Ding! Check-in location reached. Check in now? ]
Ye Ye: "What?" He hadn't expected to get so lucky. This was the first time he'd found a check-in location by himself. But what kind of place was this?
Ye Ye: "Check in."
[ Ding! Checked in at a Level Two Treasure Site. This was where Tang San and Tang Hao lived, so it was rated a Level Two Treasure Site. ]
Ye Ye: "It's connected to Tang San again. So this is the blacksmith's shop where Tang Hao and Tang San lived. I never would've guessed. If this is the blacksmith's shop where Tang Hao lived, then..."
Ye Ye hurried to the bed in the bedroom, flipped it over, and dug into the ground. After a while, he found a wooden box. He opened it, revealing a Soul Bone that glowed blue and gold.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, scan it."
[ Ding! Scan successful!
1. Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone ]
Ye Ye: "Just as I thought. This is the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone."
[ Ding! Ye Ye, you can't fuse with Soul Bones, but you can sell them. Soul Bone prices:
1. Hundred-Year Soul Bone: 10 points
2. Thousand-Year Soul Bone: 100 points
3. Soul Bones under 50,000 years: 250 points; Soul Bones over 50,000 years: 500 points
4. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone: 1,000 points, plus 1,000 points for each additional 100,000 years
5. Million-Year Soul Bone: 11,000 points ]
Ye Ye hadn't known Soul Bones could be sold, let alone that they were worth so many points. After thinking it over, he decided to sell the Soul Bone. Selling it would earn him 1,000 points, and with the 100 points he already had, he could do a ten-pull. If he kept it, he couldn't absorb it anyway.
[ Ding! Exchange successful! Congratulations, you received:
1. 1,000 points ]
Ye Ye decided to find somewhere safe before drawing. He didn't even bother to eat.
Ye Ye continued toward Star Dou Forest. After walking for who knew how long, he reached a forest and decided to rest there. He found a cave and sat down.
Ye Ye: "System, ten-pull draw."
[ Ding! Drawing. Congratulations, you received:
1...

Ye Ye was extremely nervous. He had only seen two golden lights, shining brighter than the rest.
