Chapter 30: To join the Beggars’ Sect, you must pay the membership fee first!
Following the prompts of the barrage,
Lao Pi controlled the character and came to the center of the town carrying a broken bowl.
An old beggar was sitting there. He tried to click and a dialog popped up on the system.
"Boy, you're begging for food too?"
【whether】
Lao Pi nodded "yes" decisively.
Soon, the old beggar took out his stick and pointed to the empty seat next door.
[Go over there and kneel down, the newcomers are over there!]
Lao Pi immediately directed the character to walk over,
[You kneel on the street, begging for a day, and get 1 Spirit Stone and 2 Leftovers]
Looking at the +1, +2 prompts,
Lao Pi was confused.
The barrage was also confused!
"Holy crap, can I really get some spirit stones?!"
"These spirit stones are coming too fast! Lao Pi, you might as well kneel here for the whole day!"
With the first spirit stone, Lao Pi immediately became interested!
He began to control the character to wander around the town,
I want to see if there is any way to get some more spirit stones.
Just then, a familiar name appeared on the screen:
【Rich Family Kid——Wang Shao】
The NPC stood in the center of the town, surrounded by a group of lackeys, mocking the monks who passed by.
Wang Shao: A mere beggar, you think you're qualified to cultivate immortality? Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!
Then, the system popped up an option:
[Do you want to kowtow to Master Wang in exchange for 5 Spiritual Stones?]
???
Lao Pi: “…”
Lao Pi hesitated for a few seconds, but by then the live broadcast room was already in an uproar.
"Fuck, this game is really realistic!"
"The planner really knows a lot about cultivating immortals!"
"You can beg for food, but you must kowtow."
"Laopi is down! We support you!"
"A true man can bend and stretch. For the sake of cultivating immortality, kowtow!"
"With this kneeling, you can advance from a mortal to the Qi Refining Stage!"
Finally, Lao Pi sighed deeply.
"Thirty years later! Young Master Wang, right? Just wait..."
Then, with a click of the mouse, the character knelt down...
[Obtain Spirit Stone*5]
"Hahaha, Lao Pi is on his knees!"
“This game is so immersive!”
"Playing a game brings out the realities of society."
"As long as you give me money, I can keep kneeling!"
Lao Pi covered his face helplessly: "...This game is so fucking immoral."
But he knew that he seemed to be a little bit drunk.
Although I haven’t played it for a long time, I am still very interested in this game!
Looking at his inventory, he already had almost ten spirit stones!
You can now enter the Qi Refining Stage!
Lao Pi controlled the character and took out the spirit stone, his hands were shaking.
"Brothers, we have broken through to the Qi Refining Stage!"
He opened the cultivation interface, and the five spirit stones instantly turned into light spots and dissipated.
The character sat cross-legged, his tattered clothes fluttering slightly in the wind, as if he had truly entered a state of meditation.
After a moment, a system prompt popped up.
[Congratulations, you have reached the first level of Qi Refining. Your journey to immortality has officially begun!]
[The spiritual energy here is thin. To maintain this state, one spirit stone is required daily! If you don't have enough spirit stones, your cultivation will regress!]
Lao Pi glared: "...Why do I feel something is wrong?"
Lao Pi smacked his lips and began to study the new system interface.
After breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage, he discovered that there was an additional "cultivation efficiency" value on the interface.
After reading the instructions,
Lao Pi's defense was immediately broken: "...What?! Can my cultivation level still drop?!"
"Hahaha, the planner is such a genius!"
"If you don't make progress in cultivating immortality, you will regress. This is logically consistent."
"No, do you understand? This game really simulates cultivating immortals!"
"It's starting! It's starting! The recharge interface is coming!"
Lao Pi quickly opened the inventory and counted the remaining spirit stones.
2 yuan!
In other words, he can only practice for two more days before the spirit stones are gone.
…
"Brothers, the cost of cultivating immortality is higher than I thought."
Lao Pi walked around the town with a bitter face, trying to find a way to get some spirit stones.
It turns out that begging is not easy either.
People like Wang Shao don't appear often.
This is not enough to support his cultivation!
"It's over! I just broke through the Qi Refining Stage and I'm about to fall back to being a mortal!"
In the live broadcast room, the barrage continued to float,
"Hahahahahaha, this game is too real, right?"
"Poor people can't even persist in cultivating immortality?"
"Is this what 'Kryptonian Cultivation' means?"
"I feel like I need to recharge, otherwise the early game will be too slow!"
Lao Pi looked at his character, who was dressed in rags and holding two spirit stones in his arms, and fell into deep thought.
"Brothers, there's no rush to top up! We can still play now!"
"I just discovered that I'm absorbing spiritual energy too slowly! The main reason is because I don't have a suitable cultivation method yet!"
"Once I find the cultivation method, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will increase!"
"So, I can't go on like this!"
"I need to find an organization to cling to..."
With an idea in mind, Lao Pi began to manipulate the character and ask around in the town.
Finally, I found a group of ragged monks gathered in a dilapidated temple.
Although his body was in tatters, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Among them, an old man with a goatee stood at the door, leaning on a cane in both hands, scanning the people coming and going.
Lao Pi felt that this person must be different, so he immediately controlled the character to move forward, and a dialog box popped up.
[Beggars' Sect Elder: Boy, do you want to join the Beggars' Sect too?]
"Fuck, there really is a Beggars' Gang!"
Lao Pi felt excited and felt that he had found the right method!
If you enter the Beggar's Edition, you will definitely be able to obtain the corresponding cultivation techniques!
So, Lao Pi decisively clicked [Yes].
The conversation came immediately,
[Beggars' Sect Elder: To join our Beggars' Sect, you must first pay 50 Spiritual Stones as an entrance fee!]
???
Lao Pi was stunned: "???"
"Fuck you! Are you guys from the Beggars' Sect collecting protection money?!"
"And it's so expensive?"
The barrage in the live broadcast room was also happy,
"Hahahaha, the planner is so smart!"
"The Beggars' Sect in the real world is also organized, this makes sense!"
"You think you don't have to pay dues to be a beggar? Naive!"
"That's very reasonable. My daughter also has to pay tuition fees to go to school!"
Lao Pi rubbed his eyes and read the message three times.
I found that I was not mistaken, there are really no other conditions.
Regardless of aptitude,
To join the Beggars' Sect, you only need to pay 50 Spiritual Stones?!
But the problem is,
This is the money he could save by begging for half a month!
Lao Pi couldn't help but get mad: "Why?! Aren't you the Beggars' Sect? Why are you still collecting Spirit Stones?!"
He tried to refuse and see if he could get in, but the system's prompt made him completely give up.
[If you have less than 50 Spirit Stones, you are not allowed to join the gang.]
...It's so hard!
"Brothers, I can't even get into the Beggars' Sect. This game is too shady!"
"Hahahaha, poor people don't even have the qualifications to be beggars!"
"I suggest Lao Pi stop struggling and spend some money."
Lao Pi took a deep breath and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"No, I'm Lao Pi, known for my endurance. I can survive even without spending money!"
So, Lao Pi controlled the character to turn around and walk outside.
