It was all points
"System, tell me about this System Mall!" Xiao Yu directly called out to the system in his mind.
Soon, the system's mechanical voice rang in Xiao Yu's mind, "The System Mall is a new feature added to this system after the update!"
Bite!
A soft sound came, and Xiao Yu saw a light screen appear in front of him with a large, dark red button on it. Xiao Yu reached out and pressed the button, and the light screen was gently pushed open like a door. A slightly dazzling light came from the light screen, and Xiao Yu squinted.
Soon, Xiao Yu's eyes adjusted to the light, and he realized that he had entered a place that resembled an ancient palace. There were many glowing spheres floating around. Xiao Yu could clearly see that there were scrolls, various weapons, and jade bottles in these spheres, but he couldn't tell what was inside the jade bottles!
"Welcome to the System Mall, host. Here you'll find some items you might need. Now let me explain some of the Commerce City's main functions!"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yu saw a huge golden scroll suddenly appear above the palace, slowly unfurling in front of Xiao Yu.
"This golden scroll is one of the myriad items listed in the Commerce City, available for the host to choose from!" the system explained.
Xiao Yu looked up and saw that the huge golden scroll was marked with asterisks from the first item to the eighty-eighth. Xiao Yu frowned slightly and asked, "What do these asterisks mean?"
The system stated, "The Commerce City operates on a points system. Points are earned by hunting powerful individuals. The host is not allowed to indiscriminately hunt cultivators one level lower than themselves. In other words, since the host's current strength is Three Star Dou Huang, the minimum requirement is Dou Ling. If the system determines that the host is maliciously hunting low-level cultivators to gain points, the host will only be allowed to hunt cultivators two levels higher than themselves to obtain points!"
Xiao Yu was dumbfounded and said, "So, if I become Dou Sheng, does that mean I can't kill people at the Dou Zong level?"
The system replied, "The system does not interfere with the host's actions; it only determines whether the host is maliciously hunting low-level cultivators to gain points!"
Xiao Yu then understood that killing someone one level lower than himself was not a problem, as long as it wasn't a malicious act of hunting down such low-level cultivators to gain points. It could be considered a means of self-protection for the system. If not, then Xiao Yu could simply kill cultivators of lower levels than himself to gain points!
Of course, whether the system has such a rule or not is actually the same. Xiao Yu is not a bloodthirsty person. As long as someone does not provoke him, he will not attack people of a lower level than himself. Moreover, for Xiao Yu now, let alone people of a lower level, he is invincible even if he is of the same level!
"So how are these points calculated?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
The system stated. "Hunting cultivators below the Dou Ling yields no points; hunting Dou Ling realm cultivator yields 10 points; hunting Dou Wang Dou Huang Realm cultivator yields 1000 points; hunting a Dou Zong realm cultivator yields 10,000 points; hunting Dou Zun Realm cultivator yields 100,000 points; hunting Half-Saint realm cultivator yields 150,000 points; hunting cultivators below the Six-star Dou Sheng realm yields 500,000 points!"
"Hunting a cultivator at the Six-star Dou Sheng realm or above earns one million points; hunting a Dou Emperor Realm cultivator earns five million points!"
"Additionally, the Commerce City allows customers to randomly draw items using a points-based lucky draw!"
The system's words left Xiao Yu somewhat dumbfounded. Hunting down cultivators at the Dou Emperor Realm actually earned points! Five million points was already the maximum, but he couldn't help but smile wryly, "How many years has it been since Dou Qi Continent Dou Di Continent? Even if I cultivate to the Dou Emperor Realm in the future, I can't exactly kill myself, can I? Besides myself, the only other examples are probably Xiao Yan becoming the Yan Emperor and the Hun Tiandi reaching the Dou Di!"
"However, Xiao Yan is related to me by blood, so I can't very well sacrifice my brother to the heavens. If I become Dou Di in the future and open up the passage between the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds and the Dou Qi Continent, perhaps I can enable the Dou Qi Continent to produce more Dou Di. But by then, I should also be in the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds. If I calculate it that way, the only Dou Di I can hunt on the Dou Qi Continent should be Hun Tiandi. Oh well, one is fine too. It's still five million points, and with that many points, I should be able to buy a lot of things!"
As he was thinking, Xiao Yu looked at the golden scroll and saw that the eighty-ninth item was the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. When he saw the points price following the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Xiao Yu almost popped his eyes out. This Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, which is considered quite precious in the later stages, was actually worth 500,000 points. That was a bit outrageous!
Xiao Yu continued looking back. The 90th place: Heavenly Grade Advanced Cultivation Method, worth 400,000 points. The 91st place: the Mysterious Yellow Flame Exotic Flame, worth 300,000 points!
Xiao Yu kept looking until he reached the last item, Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, the Nine Yin Yellow Springs Pill, ranked 100th, which cost 250,000 points. All the items after that cost at least 250,000 points, making Xiao Yu's eyes twitch!
"Hey, system, did you consult with the price bureau about these point prices, or did you create inflation yourself? The 89th item in the ranking costs 500,000 points, and the lowest- Ninth-grade Treasure Pill costs 250,000 points! How long am I supposed to fight for these points?!" Xiao Yu complained to the system, hoping it could change the point prices of these items, since he couldn't afford to spend those points!
The system coldly replied, "These are the point prices given by the system based on the value of the items. There's no deception. As for how the host acquires these points, that requires the host's own effort. Based on the host's previous hunting point statistics, the host's current points are: 16,000 points!"
"Damn it! System, you're so heartless, you'll easily lose me!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but say bitterly.
However, the system disappeared immediately after speaking, so it naturally didn't hear Xiao Yu's words. Xiao Yu stayed there for a while before leaving, to avoid getting annoyed by not being able to buy these things!
Xiao Yu exited the Commerce City and immediately began cultivating. He could put aside the matter of obtaining the Prison Suppressing Divine Body for now, otherwise it would easily attract the attention of others!
The next day.
When Xiao Yu came out of the room, he saw Yun Yun and Cai Lin also coming out. He muttered to himself, "Twenty thousand points!"
Zi Yan and Little Xiao Nian followed behind, and Xiao Yu muttered again, "One hundred points!"
Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yu with some curiosity and asked, "What are you muttering about?"
Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing!"
Good heavens! Now, when Xiao Yu sees others, he naturally thinks about their strength and corresponding points. But that's just a thought. Last night, while cultivating, Xiao Yu figured it out: if he wants to gain points, the Soul Clan is the best choice!
