Eternal Tower
The twenty-ninth floor.
"Master, you've misunderstood."
Ye Bai looked at Luo Han and gave him a kind smile.
"If I may ask, Master, is there a state of being you described as 'karma'?"
Luohan didn't shy away from the topic and nodded, saying...
"That is indeed true."
Seeing that the others were puzzled, Luohan took the initiative to explain.
"The concept of cause and effect, in Buddhism..."
Huo Tianyi rolled his eyes and interrupted,
"Forget about Buddhist explanations, just speak in plain language."
He hates these roundabout ways of talking the most.
Whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, or whatever else, Huo Tian felt a headache coming on.
As a poor student, he had no patience to listen to such convoluted arguments; his personality was more about directly spewing insults.
"Okay."
Luohan was exceptionally cooperative and translated it into plain language.
"The effect of this state is simple: if someone casts a spell on me, the price they pay will be borne by me."
"Oh, I see," everyone said, pretending to suddenly understand.
Oh, I see!
Huo Tianyi's face darkened. "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Sun Li and Dracula glanced at Little Huo and silently gave him a thumbs up.
With a straight-laced guy like Xiao Huo around, there's no fear of embarrassing yourself!
Huo Tianyi would deliberately embarrass himself!
If he didn't understand, he didn't understand; he disdained pretending to understand when he didn't.
To accommodate Huo Tianyi's educational level, Luo Han patiently explained...
"That is to say, if someone casts a fireball on me and it consumes 30 MP, I will recover 30 MP."
This time, everyone truly understands.
Arhat looked at Asura and asked curiously,
"Benefactor, I do indeed have karmic retribution to bear, so what?"
Ye Bai grinned crookedly, revealing a gleeful smile that suggested he'd exploited a bug.
"May I ask, Master, is there another state that is called 'purity of the six senses,' which prevents one from carrying gold coins?"
Luohan nodded again.
"Indeed, you have a very accurate eye for people."
"That's right!"
Ye Bai was already rubbing his hands together excitedly, eager to borrow a light from the other party!
Stealing fire costs 10,000 Eternal Gold Coins each time it fails.
The Arhat has the [Karma and Retribution] buff, which means that the 10,000 gold coins that Ye Bai consumed will be transferred to the Arhat!
Arhats, being subject to the "purification of the six senses," are unable to carry gold coins.
In other words... a perpetual motion machine!
How could such an obvious bug escape Shura's discerning eye?!
Every time Ye Bai failed to steal fire, he could pick up 10,000 gold coins next to Luohan, stealing fire without any cost!
At first, Ye Bai saw the 0.15% success rate of stealing fire and was ready to give up on the spot.
It takes 1000 tries to succeed once, so spending 10 million gold coins for a single buff isn't worth it!
but,
Ye Bai carefully examined Luo Han's condition and immediately discovered the bug, so he quickly called Luo Han back.
Master, don't go! Let me... borrow a light first!
Can something involving Asura be called theft?
Stealing fire doesn't count as stealing!
After briefly explaining the situation to Luo Han, Ye Bai comforted him.
"Master, I'll be quick, you won't feel any pain."
To steal fire, the other party's cooperation is required.
After all, Ye Bai understood it very well.
From now on, this Arhat will be an NPC in the Eternal Core City. You should build relationships with him in advance and occasionally wander over to exploit bugs.
A steady, continuous flow!
We don't do one-off deals!
After listening to Shura's explanation, Arhat pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"What you said, benefactor, is not something that cannot be discussed."
As he spoke, several terrifying flames floated up beside the Arhat.
"This humble monk has cultivated for many years and has some attainments in the way of fire. Before entering the Buddhist order, I had some worldly connections with the God of Fire."
This humble monk possesses the fire of wisdom, the fire of the blue lotus, the fire of tranquility, and the fire that burns the world...
Luohan introduced the past one by one.
"The Flame of Wisdom, when placed in the Eternal Sea, can randomly increase the Intelligence attribute by a certain amount every so often..."
"The Azure Lotus Flame, a mere rudimentary skill I learned from an ancient, incomplete manual, possesses terrifying power; even a single flame can destroy the heavens and the earth..."
"Tranquil Fire, when immersed in it, protects you from negative effects below the Quasi-God level..."
"......"
Listening to Luo Han's introduction, Ye Bai's eyes conveyed a very clear meaning:
I want them all!
Unfortunately, you can only steal one type of fire at a time.
The various types of fire introduced by Luohan all have excellent effects.
While Ye Bai was moved, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.
Is this monk trying to fish for me?!
“You can rest assured, Benefactor Xiu.”
The Arhat bowed with his hands clasped together.
"This humble monk, relying on your previous immeasurable eon, fulfilled the tribulation destined in my life. Although I lost the fruition I had already attained, it was a blessing rather than a curse."
In words that Benefactor Huo can understand, this humble monk owes you a debt, and I repay it with this fire.
Since the other party offered themselves up, Ye Bai felt a little embarrassed to take advantage of them.
"How could I possibly accept this?"
As he spoke, a pile of gold coins appeared at the foot of the Arhat.
No more, no less, exactly 10,000.
Everyone: ......
While saying sorry, he decisively stole the fire.
As expected of you, Shura!
You've really figured out how shameless I can be.
Just as Ye Bai was about to retrieve the gold coins from the ground, his vision blurred.
The person is still alive, but the money is gone!
"Huo Tianyi!!"
Ye Bai was furious!
He had never been this angry, not even when the projection of the supreme demon god appeared before him!
