Exchange Dilemma
To be honest, Fang Yishu never imagined that she would one day experience some of the "troubles of having money."
This strange feeling became even more pronounced when she saw the glaring number displayed on the Main God User's profile page – a "huge" amount of Universal Points, nearly 1,200.
It's worth noting that on the Main God Website, in the increasingly popular "money trading" section, the ratio of Main God Universal Points to currency has been driven up to about 1 to 2.4 million, and even then, there are still no buyers!
Not to mention, there are actually very few people willing to part with these "special resources" that are independent of the existing social system.
As long as you're willing to make a move, there are plenty of people willing to continue paying a premium to buy it!
Even judging solely from this astonishing proportion— Fang Yishu seems to be somewhat of a wealthy woman with assets exceeding ten figures?
To be honest, this is something that feels very unreal.
As one user once lamented on a forum—once you truly achieve financial freedom, money really is just a number.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.
Once money is no longer a consideration, many of the original problems seem to cease to be problems.
While pondering these miscellaneous thoughts, she carefully studied the handwritten notes in front of her, marking them with checkmarks and crosses, her eyes darting around.
Occasionally, I'll search online for some completely unrelated information, or browse the forum section of the Main God Website to see some newly posted posts and try to change my perspective.
In the previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" Mission World, Fang Yishu and her two companions, Xie Keren and Old Zhan, successfully made a connection with Fu Tianchou, one of the main characters in the story, and arrived in the capital city with Zuo Qianhu's caravan after many hardships.
Later, thanks to Fu Tianchou's connections, and according to the unspoken "rules" among users, he was able to participate in the process of entering the palace and confronting Cihang Pudu, barely going through the motions.
Xie Keren, who was lame, was assigned to a small group that accompanied Fu Tianchou to search for the emperor due to his mobility issues, and thus escaped the disaster.
Meanwhile, Old Zhan, as a relatively capable "main force," remained outside the Cihang Hall. However, in the end, he was killed instantly by a single glare from the demonic golden body that emerged from the dilapidated hall, under the sweeping "Thousand-Eyed Divine Light."
-The Great Demon King kills with his eyes!
Instead, they were among the advance team that proactively entered the hall to test the "first form" of Cihang Pudu.
Because the points earned in the First Round the Newcomer Trial were not enough to exchange for suitable enhancements, Fang Yishu the physical qualities of an ordinary person, was able to stay within the Golden Alms Bowl's range by chance because she couldn't escape in time and managed to survive!
Finally, the towering golden body, as tall as a mountain, held nothing back. A thousand arms shot out, ten thousand ghosts howled, black smoke filled the sky, and it single-handedly obscured the celestial phenomenon of the Heavenly Hound Devouring the Moon by a dog! It then engaged in a fierce battle with "Chen Jingqiu," a user wielding the Xuan-Yuan Sword. In a short time, they had reduced vast swathes of buildings in the expansive palace, the capital city, and even an area spanning several miles to utter ruin. Speaking the truth, there were many times during this time that even Fang Yishu herself felt she was likely to perish there.
But thanks to the righteous help of the White Cloud Monk and Zhiqiu Yiye, a Golden Alms Bowl, incantations, and magical implements rose up one after another, and Talisman were scattered like they were free!
Their small, scattered group of fewer than twenty or thirty people barely managed to survive thanks to the good fortune they received.
Thinking about it this way, almost all the team "leaders" who schemed and plotted all the way to finally gain control of the team, and who mostly chose to stay outside the palace in preparation for the later harvest, are dead.
Ironically, some of those who were essentially "cannon fodder" and were assigned as the vanguard actually survived.
This is really a bit too darkly humorous----
Of course, difficulties are always rewarded.
Even those who survived by "clinging to powerful figures" received real rewards from the Main God for those who actually participated in the process and survived!
The two Common Exchange Card produced at once are not worth mentioning, but they directly exceeded the main quest reward of 800 points. There was also a strange side quest that was triggered at some unknown time, [Struggle for Humanity's Way], which gave Fang Yishu a reward of about 100 or 200 points. In total, more than 1,000 Universal Points were credited to his account at once!
Including when she saw the rewards from the Main God's settlement on the platform, she remembered that there was a middle-aged man who had returned with her not far away. Suddenly, he pulled out a strange little straw doll from his pocket and kissed it wildly, as if he had gone mad, shouting incoherently something like "We've struck it rich! We've hit the jackpot this time!"
However, on the other hand, even we, the small fry who were basically just bystanders, had this kind of gain—
Upon closer comparison, it's truly hard to imagine what astonishing reward the user "Chen Jingchou," who wielded the Golden Xuan-Yuan Sword Chen Jingqiu, fought until he was covered in wounds and radiated golden light, until he was emaciated and no longer bled from his wounds, with dazzling sword shadows whistling in his eyes, and who had severed the head of that Buddha statue from the sky, must have received!
It must be something that everyone envies.
No, you're thinking too far ahead!
Suddenly snapping out of her reverie and realizing she had been too distracted, the young female college student couldn't help but chuckle, casually dismissing her aimless thoughts.
In the present moment, she is carefully considering the most important thing she needs right now: an exchange that will benefit her.
Or, to put it another way, a complete enhancement for the original body, a supernatural system, an evolutionary path, or a special bloodline.
This left people with no choice but to hesitate.
Judging from the vast array of items offered by the Main God Platform, which is difficult to fully comprehend, and from the "experienced advice" mentioned by many people on the forum, this kind of exchange, which is not simply about exchanging external items, is undoubtedly a choice that requires utmost caution.
However, as the most direct and immediate effect, it symbolizes the first step in life's journey from the mundane to the "extraordinary," and it is a crucial factor that every user cannot bypass.
This is not merely a difference in biological strength, but often signifies a budding, extraordinary source, a fundamental difference in life, an "initial foundation" that can influence all subsequent developmental paths.
Even though some people on the forum have already mentioned that among the Exchange Listings of the Main God are many such as "Return to Primordial State" and "Water of the Eight-Treasure Merit Pool", according to the description, it is possible to wash away the old enhancements if the user is willing.
To be honest, Fang Yishu really couldn't imagine that someone would specifically buy an item that was likely more expensive than their original set of enhancements combined, just to "reset" their stats.
Therefore, especially considering that the "initial funds" in his possession far exceed those held by most regular Main God User -
Objectively speaking, the enhancement she needs to consider at this moment is either a small-scale transitional item in the early stages, or a choice that requires full commitment and is almost impossible to back down from once she starts.
This isn't a particularly difficult issue to weigh.
Miss Fang, who is quite decisive in her personality, has already narrowed down several relatively preferred exchange categories, but she is still somewhat undecided when it comes to making a more specific choice.
One with elven blood, a Western fantasy mage, spiritual power, angelic blood, and a cultivation lineage.
Although most of these major categories of specific exchanges will likely be prefixed with a label like "basic" or "low-level," such as "[Basic Heroic Spirit Transformation]," "[Thin World-Tree Elf Bloodline]," "[Inferior Planeswalker Aptitude]," or "[Incomplete Angel Blood) ]"
Oh, now that I think about it, Fang Yishu remembers that the "Incomplete Angel Blood" entry, which looked quite suspicious, even had a note from the Main God stating "Not recommended for individuals with normal minds to exchange for."
To be honest, aside from the decision-making difficulties caused by having too many options, her current hesitation is actually mixed with some other worries.
If Fang Yishu remembered correctly, just a few days ago, she had stumbled upon a post on the official website that briefly surfaced, discussing the cost-effectiveness of various exchanges at the Main God's location. In it, a user with the ID "Phoenix King Photographer" was complaining bitterly, saying that after exchanging for a cultivation method, he had become a complete "leaky person," constantly releasing energy outwards, never stopping, and so on.
Several people expressed doubts or seconded the same opinion. A user with the ID "Person in the Mirror" popped up and offered a few lukewarm words of comfort, saying that according to national big data, the more an energy system deviates from normal physical rules, the more obvious the dissipation and consumption during use will be under the actual conditions of the real world.
In other words, everyone actually has similar problems to some extent. Doesn't thinking about it this way make you feel much better?
It was a joke that seemed to have a touch of dry humor.
But to be honest, this is not the first time Fang Yishu has noticed that someone has occasionally revealed, either openly or covertly, the situation of "extraordinary energy having a certain leakage problem" through encrypted forms of "code words" that only people in the country can understand.
In the end, most of those posts simply sank to the bottom.
If one person says something like that, it might be a coincidence, but when more than one person mentions it, it can hardly be dismissed as mere gossip.
After hesitating for a long time...
Subconsciously glancing back at her best friend behind her, who was staring at her phone screen with a sullen expression, seemingly sending a friend request, the female college student at the table couldn't help but chuckle as if she had suddenly remembered something. Her smile seemed to dissipate quite a bit of the pent-up frustration in her heart.
He ran his fingers through the "air" on the table, as if caressing something soft, but then shook his head.
Only then did she put pen to paper, making a light stroke on a certain line of text between the pages.
