Chapter 32 I quit!
Looking at the tens of thousands of spirit stones on his body,
Lao Pi suddenly felt confident!
Lao Pi immediately ran to the town's [Monk Market] and opened the weapon shop.
I found that many advanced weapons were already in the equipment column.
Black Iron Longsword (200 Spirit Stones): Attack +20, comes with basic swordsmanship!
Bronze Staff (500 Spirit Stones): Attack +30, can use basic spells!
Black Iron Sword (1000 Spirit Stones): Attack +50, with "Armor Break" effect!
"Brothers, when you play the Immortal Cultivation game, you must have top-notch equipment!
Lao Pi gritted his teeth and bought the [Black Iron Saber] directly!
Then, he walked to the next door Kung Fu Pavilion.
I chose a local-level technique.
Earth Rank Taixu Sutra (2000 Spirit Stones): Cultivation speed +100%, daily Spirit Stone consumption -5
Then, I walked to the drugstore.
After buying a bunch of recovery medicine,
He narrowed his eyes again and bought a few Guben Peiyuan Pills!
Guben Peiyuan Pill (800 spirit stones/pill): For those below the foundation-building stage, it can directly improve one small realm. Using it too frequently may cause failure.
Lao Pi excitedly opened his backpack and swallowed the pill in one gulp!
[Ding! You've broken through to the "Third Level of Qi Refining"]
…
[Ding! You've broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining]
Lao Pi's character stayed where he was.
The golden light on his body kept upgrading,
"Fuck! He soared from the first level of Qi Refining to the seventh level in one breath!"
"What a bullshit cultivation! Only krypton gold is the true way to become an immortal!"
"Laopi, you've forgotten your original intention! Where did you kowtow to others for 5 spirit stones?"
“…”
Lao Pi looked at his new status bar and was very happy
Realm: Qi Refining Level 7
Attack: +50 (Black Iron Sword)
Cultivation Method: "Earth Stage Taixu Sutra"
Daily spirit stone consumption: 2 pieces
"Hahahaha! This is the true joy of cultivating immortals!"
Lao Pi is ready to fight, and rushes out of the town with his new equipment, new skills, and new cultivation!
This time, he stared at the wild dogs in the wild with disdain in his eyes.
"You bastards, this time, I'm going to chop you down with one blow!"
"Here it comes, the revenge begins!"
"Dogs: What did we do wrong?"
"A true immortal cultivation simulator, where the poor rely on hard work, while the rich simply overtake!"
Lao Pi raised the corner of his mouth, clicked the mouse, and the character entered combat mode again!
[Ding! You have entered the "Wild Doghouse"!]
Once upon a time, this place was his nightmare. His Qi Refining Level 1 character was beaten to death by a wild dog here.
He was in such a mess, but now he is no longer the same as before!
"You bastard, I'm here!"
In the turn-based combat interface, Lao Pi controls the character to attack first, and raises his hand to strike!
[Critical hit! Causes 324 damage to "Wild Dog"!]
The dog died on the spot without even uttering a sound.
You killed the Wild Dog, and received 3 Dog Skins, +200 Experience!
"Hahahaha! This is what it means to cultivate immortality!
Then, Lao Pi started a crazy sweep here,
After 20 minutes of monster hunting, the experience value skyrocketed
[Ding! You've broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!]
[Ding! You took the Foundation Establishment Pill and broke through to the "First Level of Foundation Establishment"!]
On the screen, the character's body suddenly flew into the air, a golden light descended from the sky, and the aura instantly surged!
[Congratulations, player, you have entered the "Foundation Building Stage"!]
Lao Pi, who was well prepared, was very excited!
After charging money, the upgrade speed is much faster!
Then Lao Pi looked at his new interface.
And the system prompt also popped up at this moment,
[Entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivation costs will increase significantly! Daily Spirit Stone consumption adjusted to "10"!]
""
Lao Pi quickly opened his backpack and found that he had recharged a lot of spirit stones.
After his meal, there was not much left.
"Holy crap! Foundation Establishment Stage costs 10 spirit stones a day!"
When I was in the Qi Refining Stage, I only earned 1 yuan a day, but now it’s ten times as much!
"Hahahaha, Lao Pi, your money is almost gone!"
"When it comes to cultivating immortality, the initial investment is small, but the later stages are a bottomless pit!"
"The planner is so smart! This is the Xianxia version of a real estate loan!"
Lao Pi suddenly panicked and controlled the character.
Entering a brand new town that can only be unlocked during the foundation-building period,
More new content has been unlocked in the shops in the town.
"Spirit Pet Contract (500 Spirit Stones/contract): After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must contract a spirit pet, otherwise you will not be able to tame the beast!"
"Instance Ticket (300 Spirit Stones/Ticket): You must purchase a ticket to enter the advanced instance!"
"Top-grade Flying Boat (3000 Spirit Stones/item): Greatly increases travel speed, a must-have for home and travel!"
“…”
Lao Pi felt numb all over.
"This... this is fucking terrible! I just established my foundation, why do I need to buy so many things?"
"There aren't enough spirit stones!"
"So, why does cultivation have a class system? Because you're poor, you deserve not to be able to break through!"
Lao Pi calculated that he would need 10 spirit stones for a day of cultivation, plus the subsequent equipment, pets, skills, dungeon tickets, etc...
This amount of spirit stones is totally not enough!
He still needs to top up!
Lao Pi covered his face and suppressed his anger.
"I topped up hundreds of yuan, played for just an hour, and now I'm almost broke"
Lao Pi no longer has the heart to look at the work tasks,
He came here to cultivate immortality, not to make money!
Lao Pi stared at the screen in despair, and he finally understood a truth:
This game is impossible to play without paying!
At first, he thought he could have a great time by charging 500 yuan.
The result was only an hour of fun, and now I am back to the familiar state of poverty!
What's even more outrageous is that there are more VIP privileges in the mall.
Lao Pi covered his face and began to breathe deeply.
After calming down, he finally saw through the essence of this game.
Early stage: The story is full of fancy tricks to trick you into experiencing it. You can play it without spending any money!
Mid-term: Let you feel the pleasure of krypton gold, so that you will be immersed in it unconsciously!
Later stage: Use various consumption to force you to recharge continuously, and you can't play without recharging!
"...You idiot planners! You're not making a cultivation game at all, you're making a money-burning game!"
"No wonder they put so much money into advertising and even hired Zhang Hui as their spokesperson!"
“…I’m such an idiot!”
Lao Pi's mouth twitched and his eyes were full of contempt for himself.
"What's this about cultivating immortality? This isn't even a cultivation game! It's an elaborate krypton gold trap!"
Thinking of this, Lao Pi simply decided not to play anymore.
"Brothers, this game is just a pay-to-win game disguised as a cultivation game!"
"I can't play anymore, let's change to another game!"
The live broadcast room exploded instantly!
“I’m quitting!”
"Fuck, so fast!"
"Indeed, this game's krypton gold is too harsh, it makes sense for Lao Pi to quit!"
"I understand. Lao Pi spent hundreds of dollars and got nothing in the end! I would run away too!"
"The speed of recharging money cannot keep up with the consumption of the game. Who would not want to return it?"
"I see, this isn't cultivation at all, it's consumption-oriented cultivation!"
"I've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How much would it cost to reach the Nascent Soul or Mahayana stages?"
"Laopi, will you ever be unable to resist and charge back again?"
"I bet five hundred dollars that Lao Pi will be back on Xiu Xian within a month!"
"Hahahaha, I'm quitting today and recharging 648 tomorrow!"
Lao Pi sneered and said firmly:
"Absolutely not!"
“…”
