Chapter 729: Silk Exploration Labyrinth (Happy National Day!)
As the first person to buy the Void Spider Silk, Ning Zhuo began to take the lead.
At the beginning, the other monks were still using their own methods to compete for the flower buds.
As time went by, the group of cultivators who were obviously lagging behind saw that the situation was not good and began to buy void spider silk.
"Give me some void spider silk."
“I bought it too!”
"It's too expensive, too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
Some people gnashed their teeth, some shouted, and some even begged.
Che Zhuzi secretly snorted in his heart: "A poor guy is worthy of practicing mechanical arts?"
He would not blurt it out. After all, even the poorest cultivator had participated in his Xingyun trial and truly felt the value of the Void Spider Silk.
Even if these people are not buyers of spider silk now, they may be in the future.
Even if I am still too poor to buy it in the future, I can still promote the Void Spider Silk.
Of course, the price of Void Spider Silk will not drop at all.
The monks who bought in large quantities used spider silk and began to chase rapidly.
Such a strong force forced the monks who had originally maintained the leading position to give up their own methods and reluctantly buy the Void Spider Silk.
Most of them used the void spider silk to maintain their lead again.
Of course, there are also a few individuals who are still using their own methods to maintain their lead.
Their methods are comparable to those of the Void Spider Silk.
These people caught Che Zhuzi's attention, and he observed them carefully, taking note of them one by one. Because it was very likely that one of them would be his business competitor!
Che Zhuzi not only used Xingyun's trial run to help himself sell the Void Spider Silk, but also took the opportunity to observe future opponents.
After a cup of tea, Che Zhuzi saw that the situation on the field was clear, the gap between the front and the back was widening, and he had almost no intention to continue buying Void Spider Silk, so he decisively announced the end.
Ning Zhuo is undoubtedly the first in the second level.
Che Zhuzi was also happy to see this happen.
His impression of Ning Zhuo had greatly improved. It was the latter who had taken the lead in purchasing the Void Spider Silk, with a firm and positive attitude. To a large extent, this had helped Che Zhuzi enhance the market atmosphere and accelerate the trend of public opinion throughout the second stage.
"The fact that we were able to sell so much spider silk is also due to Ning Zhuo's contribution!"
While thinking, Che Zhuzi announced: "Next is the rest time. When the time is up, we will proceed to the last level."
The first two levels were passed consecutively, and there was a chance to rest before the third level began, which undoubtedly allowed many people to catch their breath and recover a lot.
Che Zhuzi activated the magic circle and immediately changed the layout of the formation space.
A maze rises from the center and continues to spread in all directions.
The monks retreated all the way and spread out around the maze, watching curiously.
The maze was fixed, and the outermost layer was wrapped in a circle, without any entrance or exit.
Che Zhuzi then announced the rules: all cultivators need to use strings and hanging silk to explore the maze, find the black iron puppets distributed throughout the maze, and control them.
The monks controlled the black iron puppets and fought their way to the center of the maze. When the time ran out, the ten remaining in the center would be the winners!
All ten winners will receive a 20% discount on the purchase of Void Spider Silk for two consecutive years.
The first place winner will be awarded a magic weapon.
After hearing these rules, the monks who had already experienced them in the second level could not help but look at each other, speechless for a moment.
By the third level, Che Zhuzi didn't even bother to act in order to sell the Void Spider Silk!
Some people were so angry that they were tempted to just leave the camp! But looking at the monks around them, they all gave up the idea. After all, if they left now, wouldn't it benefit others?
I finally made it to the third level, and spent a lot of money to buy the Void Spider Silk in the second level. If I retreat now, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?
Che Zhuzi has thoroughly understood the mentality of these monks, and the rules he arranged have been improved many times, accurately fitting the standards in everyone's hearts.
Several bundles of void spider silk appeared in the air again, and the price this time was twice that of the second level.
Some monks gritted their teeth secretly.
These people are rare and have made it here through their own means.
But now, I'm afraid I can't escape the same fate.
After all, the outermost circle of this maze was solid. It was obvious that Che Zhuzi had forced everyone to use void spider silk to travel through the void and avoid the outermost barrier before they could go deeper into the maze.
Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with a fleeting gleam, and he suddenly said, "I want to buy two pieces of void spider silk first."
For a moment, all the monks looked sideways.
Some people looked at each other with rage, as if to say: You big head, even if you are a shill, you should at least act more thoughtfully, right?
In the dark, Che Zhuzi exclaimed softly, "This kid's head is indeed larger than an average person's. He has a pretty good brain."
Ning Zhuo observed carefully and found that the amount of void spider silk that appeared out of thin air this time was more than twice that of the second level.
From the rules of the first two levels, it can be seen that Che Zhuzi is very smart and will never make unnecessary arrangements.
The presence of so many void spider silks indirectly indicates that Che Zhuzi is very confident that the monks present are "willing" and "active" to buy them!
In this case, it is better for Ning Zhuo to take the lead and purchase it directly than to be delayed in the middle.
Ning Zhuo resolutely bought two pieces of void spider silk, and Che Zhuzi then gave him another jade slip.
Ning Zhuo's mind entered the jade slip, and his eyes immediately lit up. Although the content of the jade slip was brief, it was very important. It talked about how to link two pieces of void spider silk into a longer piece, and how to use one spider silk to repair another spider silk.
"It seems that this maze has high requirements for the length and recovery of spider silk!" Ning Zhuxin thought.
Seeing Ning Zhuo holding the jade slip, some cultivators began to ask questions.
This is all key information that allows them to make more accurate judgments.
Ning Zhuo smiled at them and bowed to the others. "I am Ning Zhuo. It is truly an honor to compete with you fellow Taoists. This is the jade slip. You may take turns reading it."
When Che Zhuzi saw this scene, he let out another exclamation.
There are very few people like Ning Zhuo who is so young but has such a broad mind.
The monks who asked the question had actually already prepared themselves mentally for being rejected by Ning Zhuo, but when they heard Ning Zhuo's statement, they immediately had a good impression of him.
"Fellow Daoist Ning is so righteous!"
"Thank you, XXX."
"I am XX. After this little test, I will treat Fellow Daoist Ning to a banquet. Please do me the honor of coming!"
Ning Zhuo smiled, indicating that everything was easy to talk about and he was full of goodwill.
After looking at the jade slip, everyone came to the same conclusion as Ning Zhuo, and they all went out to buy the Void Spider Silk, at least two pieces.
Some monks were short of money and could only stare and watch, while some were even so anxious that they were running around in circles.
Other monks tried to buy more sections of Void Spider Silk. Firstly, they worried that two sections wouldn't be enough. Secondly, they had a darker thought—the total amount of Void Spider Silk seemed to be limited, and once sold, it wouldn't be replenished.
In this way, they buy more and others have less. This is using financial resources to increase their competitiveness!
Ning Zhuo certainly guessed this possibility, but he did not do it.
On the one hand, he felt that two sections were enough. On the other hand, he guessed Che Zhuzi's temperament and thought that the limited supply might just be an appearance. When the supply reached a certain level, Che Zhuzi would likely replenish the stock in large quantities!
Thirdly, he had already shown goodwill and was willing to share the jade slip. Purchasing more Void Spider Silk now would undoubtedly conflict with his previous diplomatic strategy. Doing so would create the impression of hypocrisy and inconsistency.
When Che Zhuzi announced the start, the monks attacked almost at the same moment.
Countless void spider silks shot towards the outer wall of the central maze.
Some of the void spider silk was not used and hit the outer wall, collapsing directly, causing the corresponding monks to change color.
The vast majority of void spider silk penetrated into the void, avoided the obstacles of the outer wall, and successfully penetrated into the interior of the maze.
In Che Zhuzi's eyes, the maze was naturally transparent.
"There aren't any black iron puppets deployed on the outer three layers."
"After passing the outer three levels, what's really being tested is your luck."
"Whoever is lucky will be the first to encounter the Black Iron Puppet. This will give him a huge advantage!"
Lady Pansi was also watching closely.
With the help of Che Zhuzi, she can also see the progress of all the hanging silk threads at a glance.
"Delay it."
"The longer Ning Zhuo delays, the more he consumes energy and the worse his condition becomes, the more chances I have of hitting him with one strike!"
"Hehehe."
"Enjoy the last bit of your free life, little boy."
"After the third level, you will be my dog."
Thinking of the beauty, Lady Pan Si laughed sinisterly.
"Uh..." Soon, Madam Pan Si's smile froze on her face.
Because she saw that Ning Zhuo's hanging thread was the first to encounter the black iron puppet.
The hanging line paused for a moment, and then like a spirit snake, it pierced the puppet's body like lightning.
Connect all the way to the core.
Ning Zhuo took three deep breaths, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He quickly took control of the black iron puppet.
"Huh?" This performance once again surprised Che Zhuzi. Such swift control of an unfamiliar mechanism, even though the Black Iron Puppet's structure was relatively simple due to cost constraints, was enough to demonstrate Ning Zhuo's mastery of mechanisms.
"At least this kid's foundation in mechanical engineering is extremely solid!"
"I'm kind of falling in love with him."
"hey-hey."
As a Jindan cultivator, Che Zhuzi looked down upon Ning Zhuo, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a certain condescension. His reasoning was simple: the more skilled Ning Zhuo was in mechanical engineering, the more likely he would use Void Spider Silk in the future. This person was likely Che Zhuzi's regular customer.
Ning Zhuo controlled the black iron puppet and moved it around in place for a while. After he became proficient in it, he started walking.
Tap tap tap...
The black iron puppet walked faster and faster, eventually turning into a jog, and then from a jog to a run.
Delving deeper into the maze, he encounters multiple obstacles along the way.
Whether it was poisonous miasma, fireworks, or frost, they all caused damage to the increasingly long void spider silk.
The void spider silk that Ning Zhuo had purchased in advance came in handy.
Using other spider silks, he constantly repaired the main control silk, supporting Ning Zhuo to move forward.
