Praising the System Now and Then Brought an Unexpected Reward

"Is this what they mean by 'bearing the consequences'?"

Gu Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the chaotic scene below.

It was utter chaos.

At first, some people were wary of potential danger.

But after realizing there seemed to be no threat, they became completely unrestrained.

The sounds of cursing, excitement, tearing clothes, and breaking bones mingled together.

Mu Fan withdrew his gaze and gently shook his head:

"It's a good thing it wasn't a bunch of women, otherwise these people would have gone completely crazy."

As he spoke, Mu Fan seemed to remember something and turned his head to say:

"Ling'er, you're still too young; these things aren't suitable for you to see."

Luo Ling'er turned her head, blinked, and said:

But I've already seen it.

"That's all." Mu Fan withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Ye and Jin Fugui both frowned deeply, somewhat unable to understand the actions of the people in front of them.

Qin Li did not react much.

The evil in human nature is not a rare thing.

"Master, where are we going?"

Qin Li looked at Lu Changzhi and asked him a question.

"It's up to you."

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:

"I'm mainly here to improve my meals."

Qin Li was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

Improving the meals is quite in line with Master's consistent style.

At that moment, Qin Li closed her eyes and began to sense.

A short while later, Qin Li looked in one direction and said:

"Let's go over there."

As he spoke, he took out a flying boat.

Airships are the most energy-consuming mode of transportation, especially in places with stronger gravity.

However, for the Hidden Origin Peak members, whose storage rings were filled with supplies, this was a different story.

Do whatever makes you comfortable.

A moment later, the master and his disciples boarded a flying boat and left the place.

People continued to stream into the entrance, along with a few scattered figures who were restricted due to age restrictions, their shadows falling into the crowd.

The ground around the pile of people was covered in blood, reflecting the images of the treasure hunters.

In mid-air, Lu Changzhi's External Avatar appeared, looking down at the crowd below and shaking his head.

Everything is a matter of chance, and these people, the moment they enter, become someone else's chance.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi called out to the system:

The system displays the locations of opportunities mentioned in the memo.

He has other things to do.

It must be said that the usefulness of the External Avatar was truly demonstrated to the fullest extent at this moment.

The main body eats along with the disciples, keeping an eye on their performance and ensuring their safety. As for the avatar, it goes out to collect treasures and seize opportunities, giving it a bit of the feel of a hardworking old farmer.

Brush.

A flash of light appeared, followed by rays of light extending in different directions.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it briefly.

"Huh? You've already saved up this much?"

Looking at it this way, it does seem rather densely packed.

"Looks like we'll be busy for a while."

Lu Changzhi said softly.

If he remembered correctly, when he was looking for opportunities, most of them were concentrated in the first two or three days.

And they also differ in location.

He looked around.

There are many guiding lines of opportunity, but overall, they vary in density depending on the direction.

Most of the opportunities pointed in the opposite direction from where Qin Li set off.

That's perfect, though, it allows us to do both without any problems.

Before setting off, Lu Changzhi called out:

"System, don't you think there's something wrong with these clues guiding us to opportunities?"

The system responded verbally:

"What do you need, Master?"

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

No, this system isn't very smart.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi changed his question:

"System, if you were faced with so many opportunities to seize, what would you do?"

The system immediately replied:

"Yes, Master, of course we should have our subordinates do it."

"Hiss--"

Lu Changzhi took a light breath.

The system, while not exactly clever, seems quite clever in a way.

That's worth considering.

Just as I was thinking this, the system seemed to realize something and added a prompt:

"Opportunity is obtained through chance; the system and its subordinates will not participate."

Lu Changzhi shook his head. "He's both shrewd and lazy."

System: "Master, I don't think you're praising me."

Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.

At that moment, the lines of light of opportunity suddenly disappeared from view.

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded:

"The opportunity guide lines are being redrawn based on distance, time, and the importance of the items. Please wait..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi immediately chuckled.

Praising the system occasionally can bring unexpected rewards.

That's great.

This time, the wait was not short.

When the light reappeared, the lines were now displayed in three different colors.

At the same time, relevant information also flooded into Lu Changzhi's mind.

The saying "being near the water tower gives you an advantage" applies here. The primary factor is distance, followed by time, and lastly, the items that bring the opportunity.

Green represents the most suitable opportunity within a certain range; yellow represents an opportunity that is a bit further away but may be short-lived; and red represents either an opportunity that is far away or takes a long time, so there's no need to rush.

It wasn't too complicated, but it was well-organized.

To do something well, you must first have the right tools.

Currently, the situation is favorable.

Start!

Once aboard the flying boat, Lu Changzhi began to get busy.

On the other side, aboard the flying boat.

The airship sped through the air, not maintaining a very high distance from the ground.

Perhaps due to the relatively stronger gravity, the trees here, though incredibly thick, are not nearly as tall as those outside. On the contrary, these trees give people a sense of extreme solidity.

On the trunks of many trees, one can see numerous collision marks, and in some places, it seems as if a fierce battle had just taken place, with traces of chaos still visible.

Even when no one is around, the lives of these Beast Race seem incredibly fulfilling.

The only downside is that, so far, most of what we've seen are monsters.

Monsters, in fact, are not of low rank and often possess considerable strength.

However, it's clear that for something like collecting the essence of spirit beasts, wasting energy killing demon beasts is not very meaningful.

If you can avoid it, then prioritize finding areas where spirit beasts gather.

At this moment, a black eagle, its entire body as black as ink and its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen, noticed the group's flying boat from the diagonal front. It let out a sharp cry and flapped its wings to rush towards the flying boat.

Black Hawk's aura was not weak, almost equivalent to a human's Creation Realm, and coupled with a physical body stronger than a human's, his strength was not weak.

Unfortunately, it was also a demonic beast.

Gu Chen glanced at it, then got up and walked out.

The next moment, a spear appeared in his hand. He held it in reverse, using it as a spear, channeling his power into it, unleashing the Spear Intent, and then struck out with a thunderous roar.

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.

A startled cry escaped from Black Hawk's beak, but it abruptly ceased. Accompanied by a loud bang, the spear pierced through the neck where it met the body, creating a shocking, gaping wound.

One shot, and he was dead.

Brush.

As the black eagle plummeted, light emanated from its body and reached Gu Chen's vicinity.

Gu Chen's expression shifted slightly as he raised his hand to look at the symbol of the Nine-Story Tower.

At this moment, a faint glimmer of light appeared on it.

What's even more eye-catching is the single point of light floating around it.

"This light... it can't be hidden at all?"

Gu Chen's expression turned somewhat strange as he tried to investigate.

This light was beyond his control; it simply followed him around.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be too conspicuous to kill too many spirit beasts?"

After struggling with the issue for a while without finding a solution, Gu Chen decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

If that doesn't work, you can pretend to be a disciple of another faction; it's not a big deal.

Right now, however, his gaze is fixed on the distance.

Nestled in the mountains and forests, a vast city came into view.

To be more precise, it should be described as a ruined city.

The spiritual energy around them seemed to be more concentrated than in the places they had passed through before.
