Long Qilin Went Mad

The elder clan leader said calmly, "How could I not understand what you're saying? But how can I give up if I don't try it myself?"

"The most profitable business in this world is controlling a Teleportation Array array, especially an Cross-Domain Teleportation Array. Just collecting tolls can bring in more wealth than you can ever spend."

"The construction of Teleportation Array is extremely difficult, and there are very few of them in the entire world. If our race could master the technology to replace Teleportation Array, our race would soar to new heights, and it wouldn't be impossible for us to become the strongest race in the world!"

The elder clan leader revealed a fanatical gaze, his expression full of ambition.

The second elder sighed and said, "Alas! You really dare to dream. The benefits brought by the Teleportation Array are simply too great. Even if the Thatch Gu really has the ability to teleport people over long distances, we still can't protect such a huge fortune."

The elder turned to look at him and said earnestly, "How could I not understand such a simple principle?"

"Such a large business is indeed beyond our clan's control, even if our clan's strength were to increase a hundredfold, we still wouldn't be able to hold onto it."

"But we can share this business with those powerful relatives, even though we haven't been in contact with them for ages. The enormous profits are enough to bring those long-lost relatives back together."

"At that time, our nation will achieve a great revival!"

The elder was extremely excited, appearing quite fanatical.

The elders exchanged glances, Long Wanli looked thoughtful. After a long while, he looked at the only female elder and said, "Long Lin, you are the most knowledgeable person in the clan."

"In your opinion, if we continue to study the Thatch Gu in greater depth, exploring its different transformation paths, is it possible that it could acquire the ability to teleport people over long distances?"

Long Lin quickly added, "Through different transformation paths, it's entirely possible for the Thatch Gu' to undergo any kind of change, including evolving the ability to carry living creatures."

"I can only say that the ability to teleport people over long distances is possible, but I can't estimate what that possibility is. It could be one percent, or it could be one ten-thousandth. It could be researched successfully in a year, or it could take a hundred years."

The three elders nodded and said, "As long as there is a possibility, no matter how low the possibility may be, it is enough for our clan to concentrate all its efforts on in-depth research."

The Five Clans elders nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Once we develop the ability to teleport living beings over long distances, the benefits will be enormous. It's absolutely worth the gamble, even if it means pooling the entire clan's resources for research."

The Sixth Elder laughed and said, "Leaving aside whether the Thatch Gu can be developed to carry people on teleportation, even the existing ability is worth promoting throughout the entire clan."

"It's no exaggeration to say that although the Thatch Gu doesn't have much combat ability, its value far surpasses that of the Earthworker, and it's definitely more worthy of being cultivated."

"Once every Gu cultivator in our clan Thatch Gu, just engaging in message delivery and escort services will be enough to bring our clan a huge income."

"The income generated by the Thatch Gu for our clan will far exceed that of that Fossil Ore Vein."

"Therefore, I suggest that we promote the use of the Thatch Gu' throughout the entire tribe as quickly as possible. Let's use the old method: hold a competition with amazing rewards to stimulate the tribe's enthusiasm for refining the Thatch Gu '!"

"This competition is called the House-Building Competition. There are two types of competitions. The first one is to see who can build the most beautiful house using Thatch Gu. This competition is for those who are poor, since they don't have many expensive building materials."

"The second type of competition will incorporate the practicality of the house into the standards, requiring a large investment in expensive building materials, which only wealthy Gu cultivators can afford."

"To rapidly increase the number of Thatch Gu, I suggest increasing the reward system. The champion should receive a direct contribution reward of 20 million, and all players in the top 50 should also receive contribution rewards."

"I refuse to believe that such a generous reward wouldn't motivate the entire clan to refine a single 'Thatch Gu'."

Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that his suggestion had been accepted by everyone.

"That's the plan. We messed up the Earthworker -war competition last time, so we must make sure this House-Building Competition is a success and make it the most exciting event of the year," the Seventh Elder nodded and said.

"Hehe, after all that talk, don't forget the important matter. We've come here collectively to rate the new, unique Gu Recipe. We need to use the scoring to determine the most appropriate contribution to the person who created the Gu Recipe."

"I think you've all forgotten about this," the Eighth Elder said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"What's the point of rating this? Is there even a need for a ranking? Just give him 100 million contribution points, and I don't think there will be any controversy." The Ninth Elder glanced at him and laughed.

At this point, all the elders nodded in unison, confirming that there was indeed no need to proceed with the scoring process; doing so would be a waste of time.

The value of the Thatch Gu is not just worth 100 million, it far exceeds 100 million.

In other words, the maximum contribution for this long-term mission is 100 million; otherwise, even 200 million contributions wouldn't be enough to stop such a powerful Gu Recipe.

The wealth that the Thatch Gu has created for the Lineage is unimaginable. From now on, the Long Family's annual income will increase by at least two times, or even more, and this is before they have even developed the ability to teleport people.

This is such a huge profit, and the contribution to the Lineage is so immense that no reward, however high, is too much.

With this, the Long Family can soar to great heights, and becoming the number one clan in the Far West is just around the corner.

All the elders were flushed and beaming with excitement.

The very next day, a House-Building Competition with an astonishingly high reward was officially announced at the Long Family. The news spread throughout the entire clan at an astonishing speed, and everyone was in an uproar, their eyes turning red with excitement.

The champion's reward is a whopping 20 million contribution points, a number that a normal person couldn't earn even after decades of hard work.

Faced with such a huge reward for contributions, everyone went crazy, rushing towards the Treasure Repository at an astonishing speed, ready to replace the new unique Gu Recipe as quickly as possible.

Especially Long Qilin, whose eyes were the reddest, was the first to rush into the Treasure Repository and immediately obtained the Raincoat Gu Recipe.

He never learns from his mistakes and still dares to dream of Long Ziyan again. He even has delusions about the championship title. He's truly a case of becoming more courageous with each setback.

On this day, the Raincoat Gu Recipe spread to every member of the Long Family at an astonishing speed.

After receiving this new, unique Gu Recipe, everyone showed great interest in this insect that likes to build houses.

As a result, the trend of building houses quickly became popular in the Long Family, and watching insects build houses became a hobby for all the Gu cultivators of the Long Family.

Everyone brought out their own collection of rare materials to give to the insect as building materials, and watched as the insect built one small house after another of different shapes and sizes, and then showed an excited expression.

Just like the addiction to watching insects build houses, many people have become obsessed, even giving the insects very precious materials as building materials, just like that great elder did. It's simply insane.

This is in a courtyard.

"Are you crazy! This is outrageous!" Long Xuan's exclamation echoed from the courtyard.

What appeared in his sight was a small house built entirely of High-Grade Spirit Stone. The house was made of High-Grade Spirit Stone of various colors, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, and it was extremely beautiful.

At this moment, the exquisite little house was already more than half completed, and a Thatch Gu was Orthodox God using High-Grade Spirit Stone of various attributes to fill in the gaps in the house.

Clearly, it was very satisfied with such excellent building materials, and even had a smile on its face.

At this moment, Long Qilin Long Xuan was stunned. Had Long Qilin gone mad? How dare he use High-Grade Spirit Stone as building materials for the Thatch Gu?

High-Grade Spirit Stone are extremely rare; even he doesn't have many.

It's insane that Long Qilin would dare to use them to build a house for Thatch Gu).

This small house must have cost at least tens of millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stone Spirit Stone build, maybe even hundreds of millions. Long Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

They've gone mad! They've all gone mad!

The Long Qilin's eyes were bloodshot, as if they hadn't slept for several nights. They probably watched the Thatch Gu building a house with great interest for several nights in a row.

He looked completely ecstatic, licking his lips and exclaiming excitedly, "Hehe! Houses built entirely with High-Grade Spirit Stone! Let's see who can beat me in this House-Building Competition!"

"I'd like to see what Long Ziyan has to offer me. My work is guaranteed to take first place."

Long Xuan quickly took a few steps back, distancing himself from this madman; he was no longer acting normally.

Seeing the Long Qilin's somewhat Qi Deviation state, Long Xuan sighed. Could a small room High-Grade Spirit Stone really take first place?

As far as he knew, his senior sister had also gone mad. She excitedly found a pile of Century-Old Ice Marrow Century-Old Ice Marrow somewhere and used it to build a house for the Thatch Gu. In the end, it turned into an ice house with an astonishing cost. She was simply insane.

Even the most precious High-Grade Spirit Stone can't compare to Century-Old Ice Marrow.

Long Xuan silently mourned for him.

In these past few days, he's discovered that many people have gone mad. Under his Eye of Heavenly Secrets, he's seen people building houses with Fourth-Order Spirit Core, with Earth-Grade Spirit Tree Branch, and even with Darksteel Essence...

They've all gone mad; none of them want to live anymore.

Compared to them, the Long Qilin's High-Grade Spirit Stone hut is nothing, isn't it?

He's still dreaming of getting first place; he'd struggle even to get into the top three.

He should stick to the poor team's path; he has no chance in the high-level game. There are just too many lunatics in this Lineage.

Long Xuan dared not tell him the cruel reality, and finally stepped towards an ancient pavilion in the courtyard.

This attic was the residence of the family head Long Wanli, which is why he was able to see the crazed Long Qilin from here.

He was summoned by the family head today, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, his contribution points, which have been delayed for so long, should have been reduced.

Long Xuan was quite excited and came over immediately.

"Knock knock!"

Long Xuan knocked on the door, and a dignified voice immediately came from inside.

"Come in! That idiot is really crazy, ignore him!"

It seemed that the family head had overheard their conversation in the courtyard. Long Xuan took a deep breath and boldly pushed open the door and went inside.
