Why doesn't the contribution point increase when he gives away the Source Stones he obtained using Life Essence to others? How exactly does the system calculate this? Could it be because Life Essence is generated by exchanging contribution points for Source Qi, and therefore not counted? That's not impossible.
Or perhaps it's because the people he gave Originium to were from his own faction, so the system assumed they were his own people and therefore didn't give him contribution points? If that's the case, then this damn system is utterly despicable, a complete scoundrel.
He decided to give it a try, and with a swift movement, he found He Wen.
"Brother Yu." He Wen was covered in blood and looked rather listless.
"Here you go." Gu Yu tossed a high-grade source stone to He Wen. "This is a high-grade source stone; it will be beneficial to your cultivation."
After Gu Yu finished speaking, he began to observe his system.
Contribution:
Talent: 108
Combat strength: 40 elephants
Triple boost: (Contribution points once, lasting three minutes)
Source Qi: (1 wisp for every 10 contribution points)
Source space: 150 cubic meters (1 cubic meter for every 1000 contribution points)
Source Soldier: (One contributor, maximum 10)
His contribution points increased by another 10,000, proving his second guess was wrong and that his first guess was correct. That's good. If he really gave source stones to his own people, his contribution points wouldn't increase. What should Gu Yu do then? Not give them to his own people? That won't work. But having no contribution points won't work either!
However, Gu Yu always felt that the way the system awarded contribution points was very strange, as if it had its own thoughts, or as if someone was controlling it. Sometimes it would go haywire, and it was just weird.
Little did they know that someone else was also suffering from a headache at that time.
"Ugh! What a hassle! This calculation is making my head spin. This is a bit of a pain," the man said with some regret. "Whatever! I'll just do a random calculation! As long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters. After all, one should always be selfless and dedicated."
At this moment, Gu Yu was constantly moving among the wounded, and he was very generous. When he encountered people with high cultivation levels, he not only gave them high-grade source stones, but also rare and precious healing materials, which made the Crimson Dragon on the side green with envy.
"How does this kid have so many treasures! And he's given away over a thousand high-grade source stones just for this one time! My god! He only gave me one, this won't do! I have to go ask for a few more." Chi Long muttered to himself, looking at Gu Yu as if he were a robber looking at a tycoon.
"Brother Gu Yu." Just as Gu Yu was giving a wounded soldier a high-grade source stone, the Crimson Dragon suddenly appeared beside him, which immediately put Gu Yu on guard.
Oh no! In the pursuit of contribution points, how could I forget the most crucial thing? "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." The fact that I possess the Array Scripture has already made me a target of many people's covetousness. Now that I've suddenly brought out so many source stones and treasures, I'm doomed even more.
"Gu Yu, Xiao Long, we're brothers after all. Look, you only gave me one high-grade source stone, that's not enough. I'm short on funds. I want to break through to the Emperor Realm." Chi Long chattered in Gu Yu's ear, "I need a lot of resources, Xiao Long. Think about it! If I break through to the Emperor Realm, who will dare to mess with you? And I promise, if you give me the resources, I'll become your bodyguard after I break through to the Emperor Realm. You can say who you want to beat up, and we'll beat them up."
Gu Yu ignored Chi Long. Could he trust this guy's words? Chi Long didn't seem like a reliable person to him at all.
"Little Dragon, how about I acknowledge you as my big brother?" Seeing that Gu Yu was unmoved, Chi Long slapped his thigh and said resolutely, "If you give me resources, you will be my big brother, Brother Gu. From now on, I will listen to you in everything I do, even if it's what our teacher says. I won't listen to him, I will only listen to you."
Gu Yu still ignored him. This guy was a typical bootlicker. Didn't he ask him to call him "big brother" right away? Now he's calling him "big brother."
"Oh dear, Brother Gu! How could you do this!" Seeing Gu Yu's stubbornness, Chi Long was completely helpless.
He suddenly gave Gu Yu a rather unusual look, which made Gu Yu frown. This kid seemed to have some bad intentions and seemed to want to steal his things.
"Strange? Where is the storage device? Where did you get those things from?" Chi Long was even more confused now. He did intend to rob Gu Yu of his storage device, but after searching everywhere, he couldn't find any storage device on Gu Yu. So where did Gu Yu get those source stones and treasures? This doesn't make sense!
"You want to steal my things?" Gu Yu looked at the red dragon, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.
"No, no," Chi Long hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Gu, how could I dare! You are the big boss who blew up Black Bull Royal City! You also saved my life. I, Chi Long, am definitely not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."
"He doesn't even acknowledge his master anymore, isn't he an ungrateful person?" At this moment, Long Aotian suddenly came to Gu Yu's side and said to Chilong.
“I………………” The red dragon was speechless.
"Gu Yu, how many source stones did you bring back from the royal city?" Long Aotian asked Gu Yu. Gu Yu had already distributed more than a thousand high-grade source stones, which was no small amount.
One thousand high-grade source stones are equivalent to ten thousand mid-grade source stones, one hundred thousand low-grade source stones, and one hundred thousand low-grade source stones are probably enough to cover the Dragon Clan's annual expenses.
A single high-grade source stone is worth 100 million on the market today. A thousand or so would be worth over 100 billion. What does 100 billion mean?
The key point is that Gu Yu also gave away a lot of rare and precious materials, which are even more valuable than high-grade source stones. He was very curious about how many good things Gu Yu took from Black Bull Royal City. Could this kid have robbed Black Bull Royal City?
"Brother Long, there's something I want to tell you," Gu Yu said. He had inadvertently revealed so much, and now he was probably being watched by many people, especially those who came to help him. Many of them had their eyes on Gu Yu's array book, and now that he had revealed so much more, he was probably easy prey in their eyes.
“Go on,” Long Aotian said immediately upon hearing Gu Yu’s words.
"Brother Long, this isn't safe," Gu Yu said, glancing warily at the Crimson Dragon.
Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Aotian frowned. "Damn it, Gu Yu wouldn't really have taken over Black Bull Royal City, would he?"
In an instant, he waved his hand, and an aura of royalty emanated from him, creating a soundproof barrier that protected Gu Yu, Long Aotian, and the Crimson Dragon.
At this moment, Gu Yu frowned and looked at the Crimson Dragon, showing his strong vigilance towards it.
"Gu Yu, don't worry! He's just a smart aleck, he's fine." Long Aotian saw Gu Yu's worry and said.
"Damn it, this can't be fair!" Chi Long was feeling bitter. He admitted that he had some bad thoughts just now, but that was all. He didn't put them into practice, and he wouldn't. But did he leave a bad impression on Gu Yu? Oh no, this kid is even less likely to give him anything good now.
Hearing Long Aotian's words, Gu Yu relaxed his vigilance towards the Crimson Dragon, but only relaxed, not completely let his guard down.
"Brother Long, to be honest, I stole the treasure vault of Black Bull Royal City," Gu Yu said in a low voice. Although there were restrictions around him, Gu Yu still felt unsafe.
"What???" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Aotian and Chilong stared at each other wide-eyed. "What did you say? You stole the Black Bull Royal City's treasury?"
"Yes." Gu Yu nodded.
"My God! You've struck it rich! No way, I have to acknowledge you as my big brother. You're my real big brother. Forget about master or anything like that, I, Chilong, don't care anymore. I only acknowledge you." Chilong said immediately.
Although it is unclear what is in the Black Bull Royal City's treasury, a royal city accumulated over countless years must contain an immense number of treasures.
Gu Yu is now arguably the richest person in the entire human world; even a nation cannot compare to him.
“Brother Long, there aren’t many treasures in the Black Bull Royal City’s treasury, only a few hundred items. However, there are tens of thousands of high-grade source stones. I’ve decided to take out 100,000 high-grade source stones to comfort the families of the wounded and deceased warriors. Of course, we won’t need that many. I’ve decided to set up several large formations for the Bull Slaughter City, formations that can rival those of the Emperor Realm,” Gu Yu said.
When Long Aotian and Chilong heard the first part of Gu Yu's words, their expressions turned sour. What did he mean by saying that the Black Bull Royal City's treasury didn't have many treasures, only a few hundred? Could that be described as just a few hundred? You really don't know the hunger of the starving. Treasures! Others would be overjoyed to have even one of those things, but you just said there were only a few hundred. Putting everything else aside, Chilong felt like slapping Gu Yu across the face.
But upon hearing the rest, they immediately looked at Gu Yu with admiration. The fact that he took out 100,000 high-grade source stones to appease the human warriors and their families guarding Tu Niu City was truly admirable. Long Aotian even wanted to kowtow to Gu Yu on behalf of the warriors guarding Tu Niu City.
Ten thousand yuan! If it were anyone else, they would have quietly taken it and made a fortune in silence.
Most importantly, Gu Yu also needs to set up an array for Tu Niu City, an array comparable to that of a royal-level expert.
The weakest point of Tu Niu City right now is its defense. With so many firearms lost, Tu Niu City is now extremely vulnerable, and Long Aotian is still having a headache over this!
But things are different now. Gu Yu is going to set up a formation for Tu Niu City, a formation comparable to the Emperor Realm. If a few of these formations are activated, Tu Niu City's defenses will be impregnable. Tell me, without an Emperor Realm expert, who can break a formation comparable to the Emperor Realm? My God! Gu Yu is simply a lucky star for Tu Niu City, no, a lucky star for humanity.
"Gu Yu, your selfless and dedicated spirit is something I should learn from." Long Aotian suddenly bowed to Gu Yu, looking at him with genuine admiration.
"Uh!" Gu Yu was taken aback. He did this for several reasons: first, to increase his contribution points; second, to hand over the treasure and dispel the bad intentions of some people; and third, partly for Tu Niu City. However, he couldn't be considered selfless. Gu Yu had 300,000 high-grade source stones in his source space, and he had only taken out one-third of them.
"Gu Yu! Big brother! Why don't you take out 90,000 yuan? Give me 10,000 yuan, and I'm sure I can break through to the Emperor Realm." At this moment, Chi Long said, "100,000 yuan! If he had 100,000 yuan, he would never have to worry about cultivation resources for the rest of his life."
What's most infuriating is that Gu Yu was willing to give Tu Niu Cheng 100,000 yuan, but only gave him one yuan. This is just...
"Clean up the battlefield first. We'll talk about the source stones later. By the way, I'll stay with you and protect you." Long Aotian said to Gu Yu. Gu Yu was now a walking treasure trove and couldn't afford any mistakes. Even though no one would attack Gu Yu here, they still had to be on guard.
“I’ll protect you too, big brother,” Chi Long said immediately after hearing Long Aotian say he would protect Gu Yu.
"Let me tell you, don't you dare try to steal Gu Yu's Origin Stones again." Long Aotian glanced coldly at Chi Long. He had previously said that Chi Long was one of his own and wouldn't do such a thing because he didn't know that Gu Yu had stolen from the Black Bull Royal City's treasury. In his eyes, Gu Yu probably only had a few tens of thousands of high-grade Origin Stones at most. Who would have thought he would have so many? So many that he was starting to distrust Chi Long.
"Damn, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Chi Long's face immediately turned somewhat aggrieved after hearing Long Aotian's words.
"Hmph! You might not care if it's a few thousand yuan, but a hundred thousand yuan, who knows?" Long Aotian continued coldly.
"Heavens! What about trust between people? Long Aotian, no matter what, I was the first to join the Dragon Group. I was carefully selected by my master, and my character is absolutely beyond reproach." Chi Long said confidently, his tone full of grievance.
"Come on!" Hearing Chi Long's words, Long Aotian shook his head. "Others may not know you, but I know you well. At first, your teacher didn't want to take you in because he thought you weren't talented and were a scoundrel. But what did you do? You pestered your teacher for three whole years, begging, pleading, throwing tantrums, threatening and bribing. In the end, your teacher had no choice but to compromise and take you in."
"Who said that? I'll sue you for defamation!" Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Chilong's face immediately turned ugly. This was all part of his dark history, but could he be blamed? It was all that old codger Qinglong's fault! Yes, that old codger, who said that he didn't have the aura of a dragon and was not suitable to be his disciple, and also said that he had poor talent, bad character, and so on!
Is his talent lacking? Not at all! Peak King Realm, that's quite good. His character is questionable? Where is his character lacking? He can accept the lack of dragon aura among the others, as they do indeed possess it. But does Long Aotian have it?
Do you remember when Qinglong subdued Long Aotian, Chilong asked, "Teacher! This kid doesn't have the aura of a dragon?"
"What do you know! This kid has the arrogance of a dragon."
"The arrogance of a dragon?" The red dragon asked, puzzled. "Why can't I sense it, teacher?"
"Do I even need to feel it? It's his name! Long Aotian, doesn't that make it stand out?"
Thinking about this, Red Dragon wanted to slap that old guy Green Dragon twice across the face. Wasn't this just playing with him?
"Huh!" Gu Yu was stunned when he heard their conversation. He couldn't help but glance at Chi Long. So this was how this guy joined the Dragon Group. He was wondering about it at first! He thought everyone in the Dragon Group should be like Long Aotian or Zi Long. How could there be someone like Chi Long?
"Gu Yu, Brother Gu, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just trying to ruin my character and slander my personality," Chi Long hurriedly explained to Gu Yu. Seeing Gu Yu's disbelieving expression, Chi Long's eyes darted around. He grabbed Gu Yu and whispered something.
“Brother Gu! Let me tell you, that old guy Qinglong is very biased! He must be holding a grudge and trying to ruin my reputation. Brother Gu Yu! You're a smart man, you can't trust them so easily,” Chilong said.
"Aren't you afraid that Qinglong will come after you if he hears this?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Chilong. He kept calling him an old man, even though Qinglong was Chilong's teacher. If Qinglong heard this, he would probably tear Chilong's mouth apart.
"I dare say I'm not afraid," Red Dragon said, patting his chest.
The next second, the three people in the soundproof barrier suddenly changed their expressions, because an old man appeared in front of them. In particular, Chi Long felt his scalp tingle. He had just done something wrong, so he was even more afraid.
"It's you?" Long Aotian frowned as he looked at the old man, while Gu Yu was wary and puzzled. The person who could enter silently without breaking Long Aotian's restriction must have a cultivation level close to the God Realm, that is, a demigod. Humans actually have demigods? Heavens! How is this completely different from my previous life!
The old man was really too old. He had so many wrinkles on his face that it was frightening. His back was hunched and his body had shrunk considerably. He was about 1.5 meters tall and probably weighed only 80 or 90 kilograms. His hair and eyebrows were all white.
"I am Mo Shougui. Since you stole the treasure trove of the Black Bull Royal City, you should hand over the spoils. China needs resources now, because only resources can make China strong quickly," Mo Shougui said to Gu Yu, causing Gu Yu to frown.
Long Aotian's expression was also not very good. Originally, with the restrictions he set up, even a peak Emperor Realm expert would not be able to hear their conversation. But who knew that a demigod would be hiding around all along?
"Where did this old bastard come from? You shameless bastard, what gives you the right?" Red Dragon said, startled by the arrival of Azure Dragon. He immediately cursed.
"Ah ...
At this moment, the red dragon in the soil widened its eyes; this old fellow was far more terrifying than the green dragon.
Seeing this, Gu Yu didn't know what to say. The other party was too powerful. If he refused, would the other party attack him? Once they attacked, even if Long Aotian broke through to the Emperor Realm and had unparalleled combat power, he would still be no match for him!
