Chapter 102: Forcing Rewards
A corner of Ningwu Sect.
Ye Lingfei wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed his waist, and complained, "I'm so tired! I finally finished repairing the ice wall."
Beside him, Crimson was looking out over the ice field.
A cold wind blew, and snowflakes flew everywhere. Everywhere you looked, the snow veins looked like swimming dragons, lingering wildly and wantonly. The sky and the earth were the same color, and the fog was white.
The Ice State was in ruins after the Demonic Tide, with the ground covered with sticky blood-red soft matter. These nutritious blood-colored colloids were extremely difficult to remove. They mixed with ice and snow, like squashed jelly, sticky and sticky, sticky to both feet and hands.
The players turned the soil, made compost, and used grass to plant fermentation bacteria. They worked day and night for three full days to transform all these colloids into fertilizer that could be used directly.
Under Ren Yi's command, the players methodically repaired the dilapidated sect. After a few days of work, they finally restored the sect to its original state.
"The next step is to reclaim the land and start farming. The gift Baihe brought back included seeds. The seeds cultivated by the forest cicadas have already sprouted and are ready to be planted."
"Farming is good, but I'm going to throw up eating monster meat."
"Is Baihe still not awake?"
"No."
"When will the Sect Master come back? He's been gone for several days. I miss him so much."
Shen Hong glanced at Ye Lingfei with disdain. "Hey, you want to open a new dungeon, right? Without the Sect Master here, you can't open the map or advance the plot."
"Get lost! How can a vulgar person like you understand my feelings for the Sect Master? Ah—Sect Master, please come back soon! How can I live without you?"
Ye Lingfei placed his hands on his chest, wanting to recite a poem to express his feelings.
But then they heard a light laugh, and they turned their heads suddenly. In the wind and snow, they saw a beautiful face. Jian Shiyuan was hidden in the wind and snow, and her black hair was like silk, gently curled up by the wind.
The wind and snow blurred his features, and his deep red gaze stopped on his lips, which were the only red in the snow. Jian Shiyuan still had a smile on his lips. His lip lines were beautiful, and he looked like smiling even when he was not smiling. When he smiled, it was even warmer and softer, like a willow branch passing through the center of a lake, creating ripples.
This ripple also resonated in the hearts of the two people. Shen Hong forgot to speak for a moment. Ye Lingfei was not polite and flew directly towards Jian Shiyuan, pretending to howl and shaking the snow. "Master, I miss you so much!"
He was about to pounce on Jian Shiyuan's robe, but he felt a snowflake falling on his eyelids. A little bit of coolness was just a moment of dullness. Jian Shiyuan was like a feather, gently drifting away from him, and Ye Lingfei's pounce was empty.
Shenhong didn’t understand what “graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon” meant before, but now he understands.
Looking at Jian Shiyuan floating in the air, her clothes fluttering, clear and bright, like a beautiful moon, even charming against the cold wind and snow, no words are needed, any words are empty.
The players were stunned. Shen Hong was the first to react. He half-knelt and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Sect Master, for reaching another level in your cultivation."
Shenhong still remembered the first time Jian Shiyuan appeared. She came on a sword, flying in the wind. Her beauty was as majestic as a shadow and left a very deep impression on him.
At that time, Jian Shiyuan was as sharp as a sword, with an imposing aura. Even with a smile on his face, he still made people feel awe.
At this moment, Jian Shiyuan moved casually and inadvertently retreated with the force, as if he had merged with the wind and snow, like a fish diving into the deep sea, agile and natural. Shenhong has read a lot of martial arts novels, and the strong people in the books all pursue the way of nature. The more powerful the master, the more ordinary he is.
It is commendable that the sect leader has made such progress in just a few days of business trip.
Ye Lingfei was stunned for a moment. Seeing Shen Hong flattering him, he quickly knelt down. After a few seconds of silence, he glanced at Jian Shiyuan's fingers and then, with sudden realization, he flattered her, "Master, your manicure is so beautiful. It's biling biling. Great!"
Jian Shiyuan:
Crimson:!!!
When Jian Shiyuan "sprouted", his entire body was reshaped by divine power. Not only did his eyes and hair turn golden, but even his nails turned light gold. When he used the holy name of [Fraud] to change his appearance, he ignored his fingers, and Ye Lingfei noticed the abnormality for a moment.
Ye Lingfei is a virgin, and he is also a foul-mouthed person. He is used to making sarcastic remarks, but now when he flatters others, he "successfully hits the horse's hoof every time."
Perhaps knowing that it was inappropriate to praise a man for his beautiful manicure, Ye Lingfei hurriedly "rectified" the situation.
"Haha, the Sect Master still has time to do a manicure while on a business trip. He's really efficient at work, awesome!"
"Look at the golden texture of these nails, Master Niu Beer, you have excellent skills! Why do you practice swordsmanship? Go to our Blue Star and contract a nail salon. You will definitely earn a million a month!"
Deep Red:
Why does it sound so weird?
Jian Shiyuan looked down at him. The whole place was silent and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Shenhong thought Jian Shiyuan would be angry. He lowered his head deeply, laughing in his heart, "Ye Lingfei is dead", but unexpectedly, Jian Shiyuan laughed.
"Get up, aren't you cold? Let's go back to the sect."
Shenhong suddenly looked up. The sect leader was like a fish in water, with a soft body. He circled around them half a circle, his clothes were light and delicate. The wind and snow were still cold, but he was particularly fond of Jian Shiyuan. They melted along both sides. His black hair was thick, not stained by a trace of wind and snow.
"Follow me."
Shenhong felt a force supporting his knees, pulling him up from the ground, and then grabbing his shoulders forcefully. Before he could react, he and Ye Lingfei were like sitting on clouds, swaying and floating towards Ningwu Sect.
Jian Shiyuan was in front, his wide sleeves were blown by the wind, and the sunlight cast a layer of light on him. He had a smile on his lips and looked over lightly, looking a little sleepy through the wind and snow.
Only then did Ye Lingfei discover that there was a circle of golden lines on the sect leader's neck, like a golden chain, and a golden teardrop hung in the socket above the collarbone. They were close to the skin, like tattoos, but the color was very light. If Ye Lingfei had not had sharp eyes, he would have ignored their existence.
What is that?
A gold tattoo? Why does it look like a necklace?
Before he could think any further, the sect's gate was right before his eyes. Putting the players down, Jian Shiyuan headed straight for the sect master's hall.
Along the way, players greeted him from time to time.
At the corner, Okari was holding a basin of steaming water. He was walking very fast and without paying attention to his footsteps, he pounced towards Jian Shiyuan.
Jian Shiyuan cast a spell with one hand to hold up Okariri who was about to fall, and the basin of hot water was poured towards him. Jian Shiyuan, who possessed divine power, was naturally not afraid. He half closed his eyes, and the whole basin of water seemed to be under a spell, completely still, with only a few drops of splashing water falling on the back of Jian Shiyuan's hand.
Time magic.
Jian Shiyuan blinked lightly, and the water "whoosh" flowed back into the basin. Okarirui hadn't reacted yet and was holding the basin of water in a daze.
"Lord Sect Master"
Jian Shiyuan's face showed no anger. He just said to Okari, "Be careful, don't burn others."
O'Karire's expression was stiff. Before he could say anything, Jian Shiyuan left.
Jian Po Jiuxiao beside him couldn't help but complain, "Be careful, you almost burned the master!"
Okalirui looked at Jian Shiyuan's back and murmured, "What happened to the Sect Master?"
"What?"
"This isn't boiling water! Touch it! This is liquefied ice created by fluorescent protein. It can evaporate into a thin mist like water vapor, but it's cold!"
Jian Po Jiu Xiao finally sensed something was wrong, "Sect Master got splashed with water just now, right?"
"Well, he thought it was boiling water."
"That"
"He can't feel cold or heat anymore?"
For a moment, the two of them were silent and looked at Jian Shiyuan worriedly, while Jian Shiyuan walked forward and walked straight into the Sect Master's Hall.
As soon as he entered the temple, he asked in his heart about the golden chain.
[Why did the puppet clone lose consciousness?]
But I heard the long-lost electronic sound
[Master, I finally contacted you!]
The golden chain of law muttered
What are you binding to? What did those little system rats come up with? A plan to kill the immortals? They've been doing a lot of things without Paviloin's knowledge.
Just by looking back, the Golden Chain of Laws understands the cause and effect, and there are no secrets in creation before it.
Two voices rang in Jian Shiyuan's mind at the same time, each saying its own thing. A normal person would probably be driven crazy by these different voices, but Jian Shiyuan was able to distinguish the two voices and extract key words at the same time.
When Jian Shiyuan entered the monitor's treasure house, the system disappeared, and it did not reappear until Jian Shiyuan returned to Ningwu Sect.
If it involves high-level secrets and the system is forced to block it, then it should appear when Jian Shiyuan is chatting with the players, not when he enters the Sect Master's Hall.
Jian Shiyuan looked around the sect master's hall. On the bookshelf was the Mad Emperor's booklet on puppetry, and on the soft couch was a puppet clone sleeping.
He didn't get much reward from the system. Excluding the [Time Exploration] integrated into his body and the marrow washing pool outside the temple, there was only
Jian Shiyuan first flipped through the booklet, and even after using his divine power to read it, he did not find any problems.
He turned his gaze to the quiet puppet clone.
The puppet has its eyes closed peacefully, its face is extremely elegant, its lips are lightly pursed, giving off an indescribable sense of coldness and abstinence. When awake, the puppet is lively and agile, but when asleep, he can only be described as a "Sleeping Beauty".
He clasped his hands together on his abdomen, his long hair spread out behind him, and took off the jade pendant and placed it beside the couch. His waist was extremely thin and somewhat fragile.
Jian Shiyuan touched his neck, feeling the warmth and the powerful beating of his blood vessels.
You want to retain his original consciousness, separate your spirit and soul to control him. When you awaken the power of God, your spirit and soul will also undergo earth-shattering changes. He will not be able to withstand your spirit and soul and will fall into a coma. It's like if you put an airplane engine in a car, the car will be scrapped.
Jian Shiyuan said "hmm", and his fingers slid along the puppet's neck to its chin.
He glanced at the puppet booklet in his hand and thought of the words written by the Crazy Emperor: "Do not let puppets have emotions."
Puppets can have emotions, but what about the system?
In a flash of lightning, one thought arises and a hundred thoughts become connected.
Jian Shiyuan suddenly figured out some things. The puppet in front of him might be the former owner of the system. He was not a reward, but the system had to resort to this desperate measure to preserve his body and send him into the time-still sphere?
Jian Shiyuan remembered that when he collected the reward, the system got stuck and it took a while to spit out the reward. Perhaps something went wrong at that time.
Ever since Jian Shiyuan took the lead and introduced the heavenly thunder, which exploded the system, the system has become disordered and minor, harmless errors often occur.
Jian Shiyuan didn't understand the system. When he came to the world of immortal cultivation and activated the system for the first time, the system was extremely cold. Apart from telling him that it needed 10,000 spirit stones to charge, it knew nothing about anything else.
Jian Shiyuan didn't understand the language of the immortal world, and his body had shrunk by ten years. He couldn't find a job or buy food, so he could only eat grass roots and tree bark to survive. He also tried to seek help from the system, but the system seemed to be dead. No matter what dangers and difficulties Jian Shiyuan encountered, it didn't care.
Later, Jian Shiyuan gave up hope, thinking that the system was not activated and could not be used.
Thinking carefully about the communication with the system, at the beginning its voice was a flat male voice, but after being charged, it became a rhythmic electronic sound.
Perhaps at the beginning, it was a sentient intelligent being. It sucked more than 400 hosts dry, perhaps not for "freedom", but because it refused to recognize other people as its master.
Jian Shiyuan thought about the first time he saw the puppet's corpse. He was wearing ill-fitting clothes, and it was obvious that he had been carefully cared for after his death. If he was just a reward from the beginning, there would be no need to trim his nails, change his clothes, or even repair every wound on his body.
Such careful care shows how deep the affection is.
To put it bluntly, compared with other rewards, the corpse of a Jindan cultivator is really not worth mentioning. The Mad Emperor Gu Zhongchun has an arrogant personality. If he really wants to arrange a puppet for the system host, it must be the corpse of a Shenhua cultivator. It is impossible for him to arrange only a Jindan cultivator.
Jian Shiyuan carefully recalled the details——
The puppet's past was cleared, and Jian Shiyuan could not check his past, but Jian Shiyuan could check the past of the Mad Emperor. This was obviously wrong.
When decorating the system space, the system said that it needed energy to protect something, but it forgot.
When the system betrayed him, it said, "You are too strong, no one can control you, and I can't let you control me."
At first, Jian Shiyuan guessed that after the host came to power, the system might lose its self-awareness, so it rebelled against the host. But now he thinks that maybe it has been rejecting other hosts from the beginning and it only recognizes one master.
Thinking of returning to the Sect Master's Hall, he reconnected with the system.
In order to understand the whole story, Jian Shiyuan tried to touch the puppet's forehead with his divine power, and soon he felt something.
The system merged its restart button with the puppet's corpse?!
Jian Shiyuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke, "System, there should be a reward after successfully resisting the demonic tide. Where is the reward?"
Electronic sound "beep——", "Master, there is a reward, please wait."
"Reward withdrawal in progress, stuck, stuck!"
After a while, the system spit out a ball.
Jian Shiyuan touched the time-stopping ball, and a dressing box fell down. Jian Shiyuan opened it and found a lady's hairpin inside.
"That's it?"
The system felt guilty and hesitated, "Well, that's all."
Jian Shiyuan pretended to be serious. "System, are you kidding me? Sect building missions have divine arts rewards, but resisting the demonic tide only gets a hairpin? Logically, shouldn't the rewards be increasing?"
"Last time I got stuck and vomited too much, so..."
The system stuttered, and Jian Shiyuan said nothing, just waiting quietly. Finally, the system couldn't hold on any longer, "I'll look for it again, don't worry."
After another ten minutes of waiting, the system spat out several time-stopping balls. Hesitantly, Ai Ai said, "This is the best reward I can give you. This is the only one. It's the most important thing to me. If you're not satisfied, I can't do anything about it."
Jian Shiyuan touched one of the time-stopping balls.
A jade pendant fell down, with a lifelike carving of a white crane, which matched the pattern of the hair crown on the puppet's head.
Jian Shiyuan sighed. It was indeed the best reward and the most important thing.
